Undelete bookmarks in Chromium browser

Problem

OMG, I deleted a bookmark/folder in Chromium! How can I get it back?

Undele

Calm down! Take a deep breath, open a terminal window and run:

cd ~/.config/chromium/Default && mv Bookmarks Bookmarks.old && mv Bookmarks.bak Bookmarks

Please note that this should be done before closing chromium more than twice. Otherwise the bookmarks will be gone forever. Also, in my experience, Chromium should be restarted after running the command for the bookmarks reappear.

[FIX] VLC is unable to open the MRL (smb://)

Image
When I tried to open remote video files with VLC via a Samba share I got this error message: Your input can't be opened: VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://...' It seems that this problem is related to credentials and can be fixed by entering the credentials for the Samba share in the VLC preferences (Tools > Preferences > Input / Codecs > Access Modules > SMB Input): Note: I only experienced this problem when accessing remote files with PCManFM.
