Linux Pinch to Zoom in Firefox?

12-12-2014, 11:52 AM

I have a confession. It's been 2 years since I used Linux and I want to come back; however, there's a problem. After using Win8 on an Acer S7-391, I've become dependent on pinch-to-zoom in Firefox using the Elan Touchpad. None of the major distros support this feature AFAIK.

So there you have it: pinch-to-zoom on linux? Got a distro that can do it?

I've tried ubuntu, debian, mint, suse, etc but no one has 2 finger pinch to zoom. Crazy but Win and OS X have had it for years now. Suse is getting close -- their latest release has multi-touch gestures but somehow they left out 2 finger pinch to zoom last time I checked the release candidates.

I can't live without it. Deal breaker. Shame too because I ran linux since before linux and I wanna come back.

Firefox is now SATANIC

by Hondaman

Now that I have your attention:

In the last few days, it looks like Firefox has changed their software terms so they are now evil and WILL sell your data.

I already use Palemoon for Win7 sometimes. Looks like I'll be switching to librewolf as well, as Youtuber Louis Rossman suggests. Palemoon still supports Win7, but sometimes pages don't work properly. The Google Chrome browser might also still work for Win7.

I will have no choice but to upgrade my Firefox, so that I can copy dozens of tabs into a document or spreadsheet, or go through the history to...

Requests to Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux Ubuntu x86_64

by tsavpyn

Dear all,
I forgot my BIOS password of my Surface Pro 3, I searched for solutions for a long time and knew that by using FPT to dump my bios to bin file and using decryptor, I can get my BIOS password.
Now I have a problem that I am unable to dump my BIOS into bin file.

My Surface Pro 3 currently runs on Ubuntu 22.04, with Secure Boot enabled and Boot From SSD Only.

I searched for FPT but there is no Linux version and none of them work.
I hereby request a copy of Intel Flash Programming Tool for Linux x64.
I would really appreciate it if anyone...

SPD reading/writing under Linux and/or Windows

by keepread

Hi all,
Where can I find the mysterious 'eeprom' kernel module that some use under Linux to read/write SPD?
I installed 'i2c-tools' and got 'decode-dimms' tool under Debian but not under Fedora, but both of them are missing the 'eeprom' module.
Also tried the SPD.exe tool from EVGA, which correctly lists all of the DIMM slots but reads zeroes from all of them.
Basically I need to dump SPD from some modules that were sold to me as DDR-1866 but are made of DDR-1600 chips, and they do not work. There is no access to RAM clock rate in the BIOS, so I am SOL unless I can rebin...
