Debian Multimedia :: Partitions Not Shown In Nautilus And Gnome-panel?
Jan 25, 2011
I'm using Debian Squeeze amd64. I have a disk with 4 partitions (Debian, Windows7, Data and Swap). Everytime I boot debian my partitions are not shown in Nautilus and gnome-panel:While nautilus is this way, if I plug USB drives it doesn't run automount.If I execute the command "nautilus -q" and restart the gnome panel, the partitions are shown and the usb automount start to work,if I add "nautilus -q" toartup automatically my desktop gets deactivated.Image after "nautilus -q" and "killall gnome-panel"Does anyone know how to fix it, and make the partitions and the usb automount work correctly
I would like to know i can i have my partitions shown in Nautilus and gnome-panel. In openSuse 11.3 they appear automatically but now in 11.4 they don't...
For two of my partitions on sda (they are NTFS parts) I have configured them via the NTFS Configuration Tool to mount at boot. This is OK - I can see them in Places, Computer; they are listed together with the mounted icon to the right. However, there is also two other partitions listed - that are not shown as mounted - with the same label name. (I can also see these duplicate parts listed if I click on Places ad look down at the various devices attached under Computer). If I right click on these unmounted parts I see there is a greyed out option to Remove. How do I remove these duplicate partitions?
I have 2 drives formatted NTFS, which I'm mounting with /etc/fstab to ~/Movies/ and ~/Music/ and an EXT4 partition on my primary drive for games, mounted to ~/Roms/ and I would like for these drives to NOT show up in the side panel of nautilus.
I've been doing some looking around, and what I've found so far is that supposedly if you mount a partition/drive somewhere besides /media/ nautilus will ignore it. I'm finding this not to be the case, and it's driving me bonkers. here's my fstab:
Code: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # Use 'blkid -o value -s UUID' to print the universally unique identifier # for a device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name # devices that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
I'm having an issue with Gnome panel, the window list applet isn't resizing to accomodate more windows. I have my panel situated so that the window list applet is on the top left and the menu list applet is in the top right. Instead resizing to be smaller in order to accomodate more windows, the window list applet pushes the menu list applet under it and continues to the right. I recently upgraded to lenny and with I'm assuming Gnome panel 2.20.3. I didn't have this issue before the upgrade. I've looked through and tried the options in the preferences and also a little bit in th config editor but with no luck.
I've noticed strange behavior of gnome-panel. After every log in it disappear - it's not killed, it's working but seems like completely transparent so i have to touch it twice to get it back. It's 2.30.2 ver of panel.
When I mount a USB partition from the console, I need to execute mount as root unless I add a line in /etc/fstab. However, Nautilus mounts my USB stick automatically without asking for root permissions and without any entry in/etc/fstab. How does it do this?
Sometimes I get this ugly grey square in the system tray area of my panel. [URL] I'm guessing it belongs to an item that isn't there, but if I start an additionnal tray program, the new app doesn't take this place, instead it adds itself to the left of the tray. And it doesn't belong to a program that I used and closed, since it's there after a fresh boot.
Im having a rather bizarre problem with the gnome panel in ubuntu 11.04. When i go to places and try to home folder, desktop, etc with a mouse click, Nautilus does not open. Instead a really old looking program called textedit opens. The only thing that doesnt cause textedit to open is clicking on computer.
If I try to change the icon style, it changes the icons in my desktop and in Nautilus, but it doesn't change the icons in the panels nor the ones in the menus.
I have a suspicion that this is easily fixed, however a good google (and this forum) hammering having turned up the fix. So I probably have the wrong search criteria, My Gnome Applet for switching CPU Frequency Scaling has 'disappeared' and is not listed in the the Add to Panel.. list of applets.
Debian "squeeze" AMD64 Some filenames, containing accented or other extended ASCII characters are not shown both in Nautilus and Terminal, nor in Virtual Console.
I also noticed than when asking octave interpreter (ran from terminal) to display character range from 97 to 140 the output was:
On the other hand, when executing the same query in qtoctave the characters are displayed properly.
I've tried to change the font that the gnome terminal uses, to no benefit.
My default locale is en_us.utf8 and I am about to install every package that contains the prefix ttf thank you for your time reading this
On my new 32-bit dell-vostro-1014 with debian-lenny OS I have installed via apt-get both smplayer and vlc-mediaplayer and have ripped the movie dvds by k3b and kept them as .avi files. While smplayer can play them, vlc-mediaplayer does not show the picture, only the voices are played. If I play the dvd from the optical tray then vlc poses no problem. Is it an inherent defect of the vlc package? If not what's the remedy?
I have a logical partition formatted with NTFS and created (from Windows) after Ubuntu 9.10 was installed. It's name is "Volume". Now, it doesn't show under places nor nautilus. I think it is shown when using the Live CD again. It is shown in Volume Manager. How can I have it show up next to my other partitions?
Actually, Nautilus allows two instances of the same folder, or two folders with the same name in the same directory, as long as one is hidden (with the .prefix) and the other is shown. It happens that, if during a download (through a download manager or a torrent client) the user adds the . prefix to the download folder, another will be automatically created by the application (let's say Transmission for example) and the download would continue to that new folder. If any renaming happens (or if the original folder is restored), the download will resume to the folder with whichever initial name. Eventually, the user will be left with an unusable/corrupt complete download.
After installing the 11.3 CD download, I find that there is no time display in the right hand part of the panel although there is a large blank part of the display apparently waiting for it.Has anyone encountered this? My settings for time are fine but after resetting time, and before resetting time, the actual time display does not appear.
yesterday i had deleted all partitions in the first drive of windows only from ubuntu disk utility. today i went to install windows and the partition space was shown as [139gb] , i thought this is the first hard disk. But my guess is windows must have taken the free space on my home partition inside lvm[ 150gb which roughly translates to 139 GiB.
SO first i deleted the whole partition of 139gb which was shown different in unallocated space as a slight less figure and then i created a 30gb partition on that space shown and went ahead, windows post creation again showed 139gb and then gave a message on next window that partition does not contain data to install windows xp. Strange i thought, this becoz next screen before the format partition as ntfs is all to be shown. Then i just felt something fishy and rebooted and then ubuntu of 2nd hdd is not booting.
I ran test disk from gparted live cd and i find td recovered the boot drive but not the 2nd primary partition in which lvm [root,home,swap] is created. It shows the lvm as 279gb. But not the 3 logical partitions inside it.
Now when i boot post the grub menu i get the following message
This disk contains all my data and the first drive was also wiped out full. test disk is not able to get anything on that windows drive.........
If I: 1. Add drawer(s) on the gnome panel 2. add items to one or more of those drawers 3. reboot then: 1. all empty drawers can operate normally 2. drawers that have stuff in it cannot be opened.
I updated my Ubuntu Desktop systems (2x 10.10 and 1x 10.04) within the last 2 days. After the update, the "clock" applet in the panel has stopped showing the year! Here is how it appears now:
i'm tying to dual boot Vista64 (already installed) and Fedora 10 x86_64. I am running a Dell XPS 410 running 2 sata hard drives raid 0 (ICH8DH). I started the process by shrinking my C drive on disk0 leaving 64.45GB of unallocated space. Next I rebooted into Fedora install DVD and when i get to blue graphical install screen i get message asking if my drive is GPT and if it is it may be corrupted. I click NO, and it comes up with a message telling me i have to initialize my drive if i want to use it ( have to click NO twice) and if i do it i will lose all my data.
i can click no and keep proceding through the install until i get to the partition setup screen. No hard drives or partitions are shown. I've tried googling the problem and get bits of pieces of information scattered in different parts but nothing conclusive to my problem i think. As far as my background of knowledge goes, I'm new to the linux community but give me a thorough guide and i'll do fine (i hope). I've been using fedora on a separate laptop for 2 days now .
Is it possible to install Gnome-panel in Xfce? I'd like to completely replace xfce-panel with gnome-panel. It is possible the other way round so maybe this way too?
[url]
I tried xfce4-XfApplet-plugin but it doesn't work the way I would like to.
Currently when I connect a card reader (with a card inside, of course) gnome auto-starts gphoto. However I don't use gphoto and I would like gnome to auto-start nautilus instead
Fresh Squeeze install: I have AWN running and right now I have used gconf-editor to stop gnome-panel from being a part of the Gnome Sessions. I think it was in Desktop -> Sessions -> Default Settings..or something like that. Before I did this I was just clearing out the entries for the top panel, using Apps -> Panel -> and then it was top_panel or something like that. I'm at work so I cannot fully verify, after I deleted the bottom panel. This still allowed me to use ALT + F2 to bring up the run prompt.
Since removing gnome-panel from the session, I cannot use ALT + F2 anymore. If I were to put gnome-panel back, is there a way to keep the panels from recreating themselves after I remove them from within gconf-editor? If I leave gnome-session alone, whenever I reboot the top panel keeps coming back. I have everything I want running out of the AWN dock, so I want to remove the panels completely but still have the ability to launch the run prompt.
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.
Recently switched from ubuntu to Deb Squeeze. I'm having trouble keeping apps on my panel. I'll add an app, and after reboot (sometimes a couple) something or all are missing. If I try to add say Chrome back to it, I'll then have two of them. I've googled and LQ'd around to see up there a way to update the Gnome menus, which I found a few but nothing works
