View 4 Repliesit`s my another stupid question about GUI i want to have icons in my context menu On Gnome 2.x desktop.
View 4 RepliesI'm wondering if somebody knows how to add more locations to "Send to", or "Move to" menu. Now there is only Desktop and Home folder. I know there is this nautilus actions configurator app, but with it, I'm able to add to main context menu, not to "Copy|Move to" submenu.
View 2 Replies View Relatedsomewhere along the line I disabled the description that appears below icons in all gnome application menus. I don't know how I did it, and I cannot seem to find the way to undo it I would like full descriptions under the icons in my menus. I tried System -> Preferences -> Appearance but could not find what I was looking for. I also tried System -> Preferences -> File Management. Neither seems to help me out. This is not an urgent problem, but an annoying one.

can somebody PLEASE tell me how to get my context menu items back?
I'm looking for a way to hide the icons in the Gnome menu bar.
The only thing i've found is the gconf-editor and unchecking /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons, but that only affects the System menu and not Applications and Places...

How to disable them ?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04LTS with Gnome 2.30
So I made two shell scripts under /usr/bin/ (would've preferred under ~/bin, but I couldn't get it to add that folder to the path, even when appending it to ~/.bash_profile), named 'Wine' and 'Wine64', each containing something like this:
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
FILE1=$1
WINEARCH=win64 WINEPREFIX=/home/##/.wine64/ /usr/bin/wine64 $FILE1
So basically it's a script to automate the switching between wine architectures and to set the proper prefix path. While this works fine when launching an application from a terminal, say:
Code: Select all$ Wine64 some-windows64-app.exe
I can't get it to work when right clicking the said executable, and opening it with Wine64 (which I previously added it as a choice in the context menu) So is there something I'm doing wrong, or is this not possible at all? In the latter case, is there any way to achieve this through other means?
I'm doing it this way as I'm installing this system for a relative that isn't that knowledgeable with Linux (so I would like to avoid instructing them how to launch commands in a terminal), but would still like to offer him a Windows compatibility layer for the odd Windows-only app that he might need.
I was trying to run a jar file, so after using the "Open With..." context option to bring up "Choose Application", and I opened the "Custom Command Line" tab; I typed "java %f" and set Application name..My problem is that, I was left with an option in the File Properties "Open with:" drop-down box, and more annoyingly, a context menu option above "Open With..." to run .jar files with this useless option I created.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have noticed in my pc (i386) and my ps3 (ppc64) under FC12 gnome 2.28 that some icons from some menus doesn't always appear, like in:
Places: Connect Server | Search for Files
System: all
"User name": all
Is this some sort of bug? Or I have done something wrong?
I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

View 1 Replies View RelatedI play around with OpenBox and FBPanel, and quite like it.
I started to install both OpenBox and FBPanel in Debian, and the menu don't have any icons on it.
Simply I'm not going to reconfigure everything in both distro, I copied fbpanel configuration folder to my Ubuntu home.
Then I install FBPanel in Ubuntu it have icons within the menus.
This is FBPanel from my Debian Jessie
This is FBPanel from my Ubuntu
I've googled around without any luck about this problem. It's minor and everything else works okay, but still this shouldn't be happen. Since I see the screenshots of FBPanel in Debian they all have icons on it. Tried changing the icon theme, nothing works. If it's because FBPanel can't find any icon, then the launcher shouldn't have any icons right? Also, I use the exact same configuration on both.
Is it because Debian uses different version of FBPanel? Haven't checked both version tho.
I know how to solve this problem: "You have to enable Appearances->Interface->Show icons in menu." from: [url]
My problem, however, is that on the current version of GNOME that I am running in Squeeze, when I click on "Appearances", there is no "Interface" tab! What do I do about this? Certain icons are missing because of this.
After squeeze update using aptitude full-upgrade on my Toshiba notebook ALL Gnome Desktop Icons are gone. code...

I have Debian Lenny installed.
Is there any way to remove the "Syncronize on Ubuntu One" item from the Nautilus context menu?
I don't think I can just remove the package ubuntuone-client-gnome, as it also provides a tray applet (or is that depricated for Lucid?) code...
I was trying to make my surround sound work and screwed things up. Anyways, one of them is the one with the vertical slider and the other one is the one with the horizontal slider. I want to get rid of the one with the vertical slider. How do I do this? (The one with the vertical slider is in the part where the "tray-ed" programs go). When I use my keyboard volume up and volume down buttons, I notice that the two controls respond APPROXIMATELY the same where one is slightly ahead of the other. If more information is needed, just ask.

By the way, the problem does not relate to loading, because all applications are loaded and a space is considered for each in the tray, but the problem is that for some of applications the pictures of their icons are not shown.
I have special permission from the management to stimulate my colleagues to learn Linux - er, Fedora. So I'm dual booting a few machines for them to toy around with. However, all of the popular things of course have to work easily, otherwise there's no convincing them..Almost everything has been arranged, except for an easy way to bulk-print pictures onto A4. I have probably missed it but google doesn't help, this forum doesn't give me too much that I can find.
I did find gpp (Gnome Photo Print) but that is still too complicated. I need to be able to either get it directly from the nautilus context menu, or set the gui so that this app is automatically used when viewing images in a memory card. And then it has to be easy to print.
Does anybody know,if,and how,the context-menu on the desktop under KDE 4.4 can be edited ?This function,having whole the system on the mouse-pointer,is the most missed feature under KDE.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI like to create files using the GUI context menu. I right click on windows and one of the options in the menu is "new" and then I have many options such as Word 2007 file etc. I create a lot of files and so this method is more convenient by far for me than opening the application, saving and then navigating to where I want the file to go. Because when I want to create the file, I will probably be in the directory in which I want to create the file, the process takes only a few gestures to complete which is not the case if I have to go through the file system in the "save as" window. Is it possible to have this functionality in Ubuntu?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI don't know how it came and how to disable it but here is something that will turn me crazy:with Lucid, when I select an URL (or a part of it), an automatic context (popup) menu appears and shows me different options like "Open in Firefox", "Send URL", "Open in Mozilla" and "Open in Opera".I really would like to disable it because I always have to press "Esc" to be able to do a copy-paste.We are a few on the french forum to have the same problem and we cannot find a solution, so I try the "international" forum.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 to 10.10 and noticed that right click stopped working on some applications.
Usually, there are two ways to select items on the right click context menu:
a) press and release right click, hover over option, press and release again
b) press and hold right click, hover over option, release right click
I lost option a). No matter how fast I press and release the right click button, it will select the first option on the menu as soon as I release it. So for example, the first option on the context menu on the chrome browser is "back". So if I try to open the context menu it will just go back. Because it selects the back option as soon as I release the right mouse button.
So far I only noticed this on Chrome and Eclipse. Firefox and the other default ubuntu apps are working properly.
Googling it, I found some other people with this issue, but no solution. Any idea what this could be about and how to fix it?
how could i change the context menu of any program?i want to create special context menu for each program that each one has its own context menu that doesn't look like the other program.how could i do that?
