Ever since I started using KDE as in 4.2, I have been doing this regularly. When I startup KDE, I open Dolphin and click and mount each partition with root pass. I thought it might be some KDE issue as is the ever developing code and will be fine in future updates. But now I'm in 4.2.1 and it still exists. Upon inquiring fellow users on other distros, I have come to believe this is a *Fedora only* issue now.
View 4 RepliesI've recently fallen in love with the speed and great performance of the xfce desktop. The only problem I have is that the default file manager is Thunar.
How can I change it to Dolphin?
The answer seems like it would be easy but I seriously can't figure this out.
I noticed recently that when you put a Audio "red book" cd in the drive and look at it with KDE Dolphin file manager, it shows the CD as a handy tree of folders called "MP3", "Ogg", "FLAC" and so on. So if you copy the FLAC directory to your hard drive, it then uses flac to rip the wav files in the CD to FLAC's on the hard drive. This is all nice but I noticed my Fedora 15 was doing this without the cdparanoia package being installed. I've since installed cdparanoia (which is a software for robustly error correcting and if necessary, multi-try reading from the disk to get a majority vote correct read). Does this mean I can't be assured the FLAC files Dolphin made are bit perfect? I would have assumed that you'd need to use cdparanoia to be sure the wav's get ripped to flac perfectly.

View 9 Replies View RelatedSo I have a large collection of VCDs (they used to be very popular and cheap here before DVDs became popular - basically just Data CD with a specific file structure) which I was transferring to my harddrive for easier viewing.
I stopped a few months ago and wanted to do some more today, but find that I can't access them anymore. The VCD is mounted ok, and I can see the root folder, but when I try and go into any folders, Dolphin hangs, the message log shows this over and over again:

I have tried with 2 different DVD drives (both IDE, on different channels), and confirmed the disk works fine when accessed from Windows on the same hardware, so the problem must be with Fedora.

I just installed Fedora 12. When I open Dolphin, I do find links on the sidebar which enable me to mount the NTFS partitions with a click. I want to disable this for less privileged users and only allow root to do mount and unmount of partitions. I was not able to see autofs installed nor any sign of entries in the fstab.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI'm having a strange problem in my gnome installation. I have about a dozen window managers installed, and just to test the new KDE 4.4 update I used kde for one day (use gnome mostly) and now the gnome places menu opens up the kde file manager dolphin instead of nautilus. How can I change it. It doesn't even appear in the edit menus item on right clicking the menu.
View 4 Replies View RelatedTrying the various settings (and noticing ubuntu gnome users recently had the same exact OPPOSITE problem -- they can't SHOW hidden files in dolphin) to hide my hidden files in dolphin is not working. The settings are saved OK, but those damn (ending in tilde, ie "~") files do NOT ever hide! I even see the correct little green recycling symbol on them, indicating they're identified as such, but no actual hiding goes on..
Nautilus, which I've used before (but have grown tired of, and was looking forward to dolphin), also has a weird issue that seems to have appeared with FC13 (I'd been using FC12 'til now mostly because of this) - there's no way (AFAIK) to tell it to show the location; to see it, you have to click Go->Location each time. Previously I could set it to print out the whole file or server path and it would stay that way when I opened new windows.. This is on fresh install & update.. kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64.
I have recently been attempting to install GASP for Python. After several attempts I finally managed to find the .tar file, since yum's GASP was severely outdated. After downloading, I have to extract the file to /usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/, and once I tried to do so in the Ark package manager, nothing would extract after several attempts. I then tried to move it in the Dolphin FileBrowser and got this error message:
Access denied to /usr/libexec/perf-core/scripts/python/gasp-0.3.3.tar.gz.
After much googling and FAQ searching, I have had no results.I am running Fedora 14 KDE build,and have been doing so for about about a week,without any previous Linux experience, so it is probably user error.
how to get a right click option to encrypt a file in nautilus. Per the subject line, right click works ok in the other two applications but doesn't seem to have integrated into nautilus. (both KGpg and Seahorse are installed and each seems to work correctly).
View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is the set up
1. Server with ldap for authentication and autofs maps
2. Client machines have home directories on this server (nfs3) these machines also have some 'shared' directories on the same server (nfs4)
Now if I use a terminal I can always create files in the shared directories (subject to the relevant permissions) - I can also always save files in OO and the like. The problem is that Dophin sometimes has the create greyed out and sometimes it doesn't. So now I am at a loss as to why. This is 11.2 with kde 4.4.3 btw
I once used an alternate key as a shortcut of deleting in dolphin. After that, I want to revert to the default key DEL in dolphin so I reset the shortcuts. But I find it doesn't work any more. What's more the shortcut notice following the "Move to Trash" in the right click menu also goes away, i.e. just a blank,shown in attachment. What should I do?

I have circled the key features I am looking for on an image.
[url]
I really like the buttons to switch from detailed/icon/preview modes, and the show hidden file button is nice. the close button becomes 'split' when only a single pane is open. plus the tab feature is present, but not shown in the image. having a terminal at the bottom is great, others I have tried only seem to have a single command line at most. and the left panel is real convenient for switching between mounts.
I have tried xnc, gnome commander, and tux commander. None of them seem to have the right stuff.
I've been ignoring this problem for about a week but its getting on my last nerve. Dolphin keeps freezing for about 20 seconds when ever I try to move or open files sometimes, It will just sit there and then once it returns it will very quickly execute my command. It seems im not the only one having this issue [url]
I still can't seem to find a fix. I'm running the most recent current BTW
