Debian Multimedia :: Remove Unwanted Shortcuts In GTK3 File Chooser?
Nov 22, 2015
There are these shortcuts in the GTK3 file chooser: [URL] ....
With the exception of "desktop" which I included in the red box by mistake, I don't want those shorcuts to be there. I've even deleted most of those folders from my home directory because I have no use for them, but the shortcuts remain even after the folders are gone.
How to remove/disable these shortcuts? And while I'm at it, I notice that it's not using my selected icon theme for those icons. Any way to make it use my choice of icon theme?
since few days I have installed a fresh debian testing on my new laptop, I am using XFCE4 as DE, I noticed that when I use these themes: greybird, bluebird and albatross the GTK3 applications (mostly from gnome 3 stack) do not display correctly the application. I have another laptop with an older debian testing with XFCE4 and the GTK3 themes work properly. The only relevant difference between the old computer and the new one are the video driver, the older use radeonsi driver and newest the nvidia blob binary.
I'm sure this is just a simple configuration issue, but not sure what to configure:
When I try to open a file from within an application (eg Open Office) and I choose "Open", a file browser pops up that allows navigation of the file system. Rather annoyingly, it shows all the dot files (and directories). There was a time when it did not, and I'm not sure what changed to make it do this.
Where do I configure this behaviour? I don't know what the file browsing thing is called. If I get a listing from ps before and after calling up the file opening tool, there is nothing extra showing.
I just upgraded to 10.04, all went well, except now the "s" and "m" keys on my keyboard open the login menu and the "Me" menu (with the mail and chat options) respectively. Obviously this is very irritating, I can only type those letters by holding down alt. I can't think of how this happened, it didn't do it before the upgrade. I'm using an Apple aluminum keyboard with a Dell. When I run xev and type the s or m key, I get this:
[Code]....
There are no relevant shortcuts under keyboard shortcuts. I am using a xmodmap file that looks like this:
Using Nicotine+ I accidentally downloaded about 11000 files from an user who's evidently too busy to properly organize his archive, and got all his stuff stored in only one big folder.
Nicotine obviously crashed, and I'm not able to open it anymore. When I launch the program, it immediately freezes, and I can do nothing but force its quit. I tried to remove and reinstall the program, but the problem persists. So I was wondering if there's a way to remove the downloads from the list outside Nicotine, editing some files.
I have so many entries in GRUB and have to actually scroll down so much to see windows entry. How do I remove unwanted entries in GRUB? Also How can I make a background picture appear when grub manager comes up?
How to remove unwanted output that comes from executing system api?
for eg:when i execute system("telnet 127.0.0.1") i want the output to start with login and then password and then directly the command prompt,how can i remove the output that gets generated before showing the prompt?
In both Slackware 12.2 (gtk 2.12.12) and Slackware 13.1 (gtk 2.18.9), the left-hand side panel of the GTK file chooser (File Open and Save) dialog box displays three sections. The first section contains two options: Search and Recently Used. The second section contains several options. The third section are personal bookmarks I have created and stored in $HOME/.gtk-bookmarks.
Modifying the bookmarks section is straightforward, but I am searching for ways to modify the first and second sections.
1. In both 12.2 and 13.1, the second section shows the following: $HOME directory, Desktop, File System. In 13.1, several mount points now appear. I think the criterion being used is the mount point being outside the main root tree. Several of these mount points are configured in fstab with the noauto option and are user mounted only as necessary. I do not want any of these volumes appearing in that section nor the Desktop option. Is there a way to exclude those volumes and options?
2. In that same second section are two mounted volumes from a second internal drive. Those two partitions are part of my bookmarks. In 12.2 those two partitions appeared in the bookmarks section. In 13.1 those two bookmarks are ignored and instead appear in the second section. I prefer those two points appear in my bookmarks section because I prefer my own labels rather than mount point names. Is there a way to do that?
3. Is there an option in $HOME/.config/gtk-2.0/filechooser.ini to control the width of the side panel?
I installed a new login theme and I noticed that my shortcuts for changing workspaces don't work anymore. When I went to my keyboard shortcuts menu I found a completely different list of shortcuts, so I believe that I'm using a different Windows Manager than I've been using since installing Debian.
Guess I was wrong, I went into gconf-editor, went to metacity's keyboard shortcuts, and found mine disabled. I set them up again there and now they work again, even though they don't show up in the Keyboard Shortcuts menu.
Actually i am working on an application in which i want to select the files from a File Chooser where the application language is set to Telugu. But when i want to view the files through the File Chooser, all the names of the files in the system are displaying as boxes. This problem occurs only when i change the language to Telugu.This problem doesn't appear with any other languages. So please direct me towards the solution for this problem.
I have a Logitech G11 keyboard with additional function keys from G1 to G18 and I added those keys to my XKeysymDB and ~/.xmodmaprc accordingly. According to xev, all those keys are working properly, eg.:
$ xev ... KeyPress event, serial 35, synthetic NO, window 0x3400001, root 0x15d, subw 0x0, time 3518287, (167,-33), root:(1501,366), state 0x10, keycode 175 (keysym 0x15000001, G1), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False
Now, if I try to bind any of those keys to global shortcuts in KDE I got a dialog telling: "The key you just pressed is not supported by Qt." these keys were working perfectly well in Lenny and KDE 3.5. I did some research, and it really seems that this is a some kind of "feature" in KDE 4.2 or Qt. So, is there any way to fix this easily in Squeeze without switching to Wheezy or even Sid?
i installed oroborus and rox-filer and did not see an entry for either in gdm3's session chooser. i have used these window managers together before and was always able to select the session from gdm. i thought i might have to add an oroborus.desktop file to /usr/share/xsessions, but only found one in /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions and it didn't show up when i copied it to /usr/share/xsessions. how can i get oroborus into gdm3's session chooser?
I'm new to Ubuntu Netbook Remix, yesterday I installed Ubuntu tweak and un-installed Evolution Mail, and when I check to "Office" menu in the left menu sidebar, I couldn't remove the Evolution shortcut in it.
I am setting up my shortcuts on Ubuntu (System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts) and there is no way to remove a shortcut. On the bottom of the screen says "(...) or press space to clear.", however, it doesn't work.The only way I found to remove a shortcut was to set up another shortcut with its keys, so it will be disabled.
I am using the Ubuntu 11.04 and also windows 7 in my system. So when i opened the D drive which is NTFS file system in Ubuntu it creates a shortcut is the launcher. Previously when i had Ubuntu 10.04 shortcut appeared on desktop. Guys tell me why this happens i mean why shortcut appears in launcher or desktop .Is there any method to remove this?
Ive managed to get myself in a bit of a hole through fears of destroying my WinXP on a new dual boot installation. I�ve been using Ubuntu (10.04 lts) alone on an old machine which died, so I thought I�d just move the hdd to my main machine & dual boot it with XP.
I booted from the 10.04 lts CD to set this up, I let it do as it suggested & assumed it would see the existing Ubuntu installation & modify it to dual boot with Win XP. Which it did except I now have two instances of 10.04 on the second hdd as it added a second partition for the new. Leaving the already installed 10.04 alone. I saw no options other than the advanced partitioning which I did not look at.
How please can I correct this & go back to having just one instance of 10.04 on the Ubuntu disk to dual boot to � I am sure there must be an easy way. I have nothing on the Ubuntu disk I need to preserve. I know nothing about Linux command line.
Currently, I'm working on personal project. and I'm kinda stuck. What I want to do is that open a file, and edit that file (deleting unwanted characters). The problem arises after I deleted unwanted characters, the file still has the same length of the original one. Let's assume that we have a file with "1234" in it. I deleted "3" ( I overwrite "\0" ) so now when I check the file, it's 124. But when I check the length, the both have the same size as 4
Here is an example source code int length, length2; num = open("a.dat", 2) length = lseek(num, 0, 2); // Initial length lseek(num, 2, 0); // editing write(num, "\0", 1); length2 = lseek(num, 0, 2); // Final length close(num);
When I print those values those are exactly the same. Length2 should be one less than length, but the both are 4. What's wrong in m code? Am I supposed to use different character rather than "\0"?
I have a few problem. I have a txt file that convert from pcap to txt file. What I want is to eliminate unwanted text from my txt file. Here is the example of the what I want to do:
How you can change you're gdm gtk3 theme with fedora 15. Prerequisite: gnome-tweak-tool and a terminal (gnome-terminal) Open gnome-terminal:
Code: su - ( insert password) Now we are root and the first step is to install gnome-tweak-tool if you already did this skip this. Install gnome-tweak-tool
Code: yum install gnome-tweak-tool Now we make the gdm user available to make changes:
Code: # xhost +SI:localuser:gdm If you did this right you get this message:
Code: localuser:gdm being added to access control list Next we will fire up gnome-tweak-tool
Code: # sudo -u gdm gnome-tweak-tool
This will start gnome-tweak-tool as the user gdm (sudo -u username will start the application as designated user). Now we can change the interface gtk+theme, icon theme and cursor theme to whatever you like. Don't forget to change windows current theme to what you want.
How to change gdm login background: Code: # sudo -u gdm gnome-control-center Here you can change the background
And when you're done exit the gnome-tweak-tool or gnome-control-center and type: Code: # exit (ps the # sign is the sign you're running the command as ROOT don't copy it!!
I have successfully build .deb im my box and it is running well. But during the debuild process I got followingdpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libatk-1.0.so.0 could be avoided if "debian/retrovol/usr/bin/retrovol" were not uselessly linked against it (they use none of its symbols).
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libdl.so.2 could be avoided if "debian/retrovol/usr/bin/retrovol" were
I've just installed Squeeze with KDE. I was wondering what is the best way to remove some unwanted apps without breaking everything (I want to get rid of Kopete and a few other apps like Dragon Player as I don't use them)? I tried to: apt-get remove kopete but it said it wanted to remove a whole bunch of other stuff as well. (I'm a recent Fedora convert).
Recently I installed MPlayer with its default gui and its interfaces SMPlayer and GnomeMPlayer. When I'm using GnomeMPlayer it responds to multimedia keys as configured in Gnome shortcuts, even if it's minimized or running in another virtual desktop. But it doesn't happen to the other two gui's mentioned above. I have also noticed that native Gnome applications or with Gnome support like Banshee and Rhythmbox rspond to multimedia keys even when the gui is closed and they are running only in the system tray. But it never occurs in non-Gnome applications like VLC, MPlayer and others. Jetaudio wich responds to these keys in MS Windows running under Wine doesn't even recognize them.
So I came to the conclusion that only native Gnome applications or with Gnome support recognize multimedia keys because, as it seems, they receive the signal from Gnome configurations. Others applications doesn't do so. Here is my question: Is there some way to make all applications recognize the configuration of Gnome multimedia keys shortcuts? (Of course it would not be fine if they recognized ALL Gnome shortcuts because they could conflict with shortcuts from another applications. The idela would be that they recognize ONLY Gnome multimedia shortcuts.)
I have a fresh Debian install, since this install was on a desktop, I had an internet connection and didn't notice (it was late, I was half asleep) I opted to download a whole load of packages I didn't really need. I thought all was doomed until I remembered that I have done another Debian install but a week ago on a laptop, which has a nice clean install without all the bloat.
So I ran dpkg --get-selections > selections and had it sent to my new desktop installation.
Now if I run dpkg --set-selections < selections followed by dselect-upgrade nothing happens. I assume this is because the smaller list contains all the packages 'to be installed' which already are, and all the missing packages are not being purged. Do I need to explicitly add all the packages I want to purge to the 'selection' list or is there a better way of doing it?
I've gone about as far as I can with this without trashing my system. I'm running Mint 10 LXDE with XFCE.
Ultimate objective: Install latest Anjuta 3.0 from source (not yet in repos). Anjuta ./configure reported a need for updated packages, such as GTK 3.0, Glib, Gio, etc. I downloaded GTK 3.0 and 'config' reported a need for an updated Glib. So I downloaded that and have installed it successfully (no prefixes; from home dir.)
But now GTK config is stating that it has found two versions of Glib, which I guess makes sense since I made no attempt to replace the old one. So, what is/was the proper way to replace the old Glib so there is only one version, or, is that a bad idea? Will some software still be dependent on the old Glib, or do the devs make the libraries backward compatible? Where do I go from here?
I'm using my own Debian .deb-packages for managing software updates on a small numbers of computers. So this question is about creating my own .deb Packages.
I got the Package A with the version 1.0 and 2.0. From version 2.0 on it's not necessary to keep track of the file fileB.txt. But I want to keep fileB.txt on the target system anyway.
Code:
Package A Ver. 1.0: - fileA.txt - fileB.txt
Package A Ver. 2.0: - fileA.txt If I install the new .deb package A. DPKG will remove fileB.txt.
How can I prevent dpkg to remove fileB.txt? In fact, dpkg should simply forget that fileB.txt was ever part of Package A!
Of course I could manipulate the dpkg file list, somewhere in the dpkg cache (file system). But how can I achieve the same effect within a package -> without manual manipulation on the target system?
Is there any key word in the control file? Or is there a special file, which lists "dependencies to delete"?
I installed Debian without desktop enviroment and then I aptitude installed fluxbox, everything worked fine, but I wanted to try LXDE so I purged fluxbox and installed LXDE.But my old computer is too slow now. I purged the LXDE, but it is still here and it didn`t remove as many packages as it installed them, I also removed lxde-core, but it continues to work.
How could I get back to non-desktop enviroment without reinstalling the whole system?
i run debian squeeze, and i followed this guide, using m-a. But, when i try to install the nvidia-glxReading package listsBuilding dependency tree..g state information...The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
libnautilus-extension1 gnome-mount Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following extra packages will be installed:
