Fedora :: "Places" Menu (Gnome) Starts Rythmbox Instead Of Opening Respective Folder?
Mar 28, 2011For about a week or two when I try to open a folder from the menu "Places" of Gnome 2.32.0 (with Fedora 14 OS) the program Rythmbox starts instead. This happens even when I try to access a connected harddrive which requires entry of a code. After entering the code again Rythmbox opens! This doesn't happen only with "Computer", "Network" and "Connect to Server" of "Places". I can't think of anything that I did (apart from using Rythmbox quite often recently) that could have caused this, so I assume that it is a bug of Gnome. Have other people encountered this problem? (I assume that it is not Fedora specific, but rather a general problem of Gnome) If so,

Mar 6, 2010I'm using Fedora 12 with Gnome and I have a slight problem with my places menu. I have entries in the list that I would like to remove, but cannot figure out how. I multiboot Fedora with Windows 7 and windows 98. My Places menus looks something like this:
Places
Code:
Home Folder
Desktop
Music .....
Now, if you notice there are 2 entries for both my 'Storage' and 'Windows 98' partitions. On of them will actually open up a window showing the contents of the partition, the other displays an error which basically says "Unable to mount, drive is already mounted". Right clicking on the entry has the same effect as left clicking, it just brings up the error message. They do not appear in the Bookmarks menu.
Fedora :: Get Rid Of Recent Documents Under Places Menu On Gnome Panel?
Oct 18, 2009There are measures to stop this in Windows even though there are still things you can't get rid of. Now on to my question, Why can't I edit the Places menu but I can edit the Applications and System menus. I really want to get rid of the Recent Documents menu header. I don't like things like that right up on front street. I am quite a stickler about privacy and one of the reasons I decided to try out linux is because I heard it was better in the sense of respecting privacy. But now I am seeing that you don't even have the ability to get rid of a tracking item such as Recent Documents. Quite disappointing.
I can understand tracking recent changes to the system but it is not necessary to track what you open or what you browse on the internet. Hence Firfox's ability to not store history and the clear cache, history, etc. on shutdown of Firefox. So Am I misinformed about the fact that linux does respect privacy? What kind of world are we coming to that it is necessary to track everything. Especially here in the U.S., I mean I'm thinking 1984 here lol. Anyway, how to remove these tracking features in Fedora. I mean in the sense of just stopping it. It sucks to have to go through and "clear" everything that tracks you every time you want to log off or shut down.
Fedora :: Places Menu In Gnome Opens Dolphin (KDE) Instead Of Nautilus
Feb 26, 2010I'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 RelatedFedora :: Graphical Su - How To Set Up A Menu Entry To Be Able To Use App
Apr 26, 2010There are times that I would like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line in order to do that. I learned of a nice app in the Fedora repos called beesu and I will show you how to set up a menu entry to be able to use this nice app.
From man beesu:
Code:
See man beesu for more information.
Beesu can be installed in Fedora with the following command:
Code:
IMPORTANT: Beesu must be installed in order to successfully complete this tutorial.
You can use beesu from the command line with the following example:
Code:
This will open gedit as root user after the correct root password has been entered into the password prompt. This is great. However, I'd like to open an app as root user without having to use the command line or alt+f2 run box. So, I wrote a small bash script that uses zenity to prompt the user for an app to open as well as the root password.
Copy the following code into a new text file and name it mybeesu.sh.
Code:
You need to change the /path/to bit in step 4 "Command" to reflect the path to which you saved the mybeesu.sh script. Click the OK button to save the new menu item.
Now, when you click the new menu item from the gnome menu, a zenity window will open asking which app you want to open. After that, a second window will open prompting you for the root password. If all goes well, and you entered the correct root password, your desired app should open as if you used su -c 'foo' to launch it.

Sep 16, 2010I did some modification of fstab, and works, but for some strange reason, there are drives shown in the Places menu that shouldn't be there when the drives (they are usb drives) are unplugged. I had to put them in fstab, because they are mp3 players and I need user privelages in order to sync them. With nothing plugged in the usb ports,I checked, and they aren't shown in mtab, and only Sansa-e260 and JOSHS PHONE are shown in fstab, although as far as I know, they shouldn't appear in Places when unmounted. Is there a way to reset it?

Fedora :: Unable To View Folders (using Places Menu Item)?
Nov 16, 2010I'm unable to open and view folders graphically. I click Places -> Home Folder (or any of the other folders, including Computer), and the cursor turns to the spinning "wait" dial, but the folder won't appear. A tab appears in the bottom panel, with the title "opening ZenBeam" (or "opening Desktop" or "Starting Computer", depending on which folder I tried to open) for a few seconds, but then goes away. Left- or Right-clicking on these tabs doesn't give me any options.
This used to work normally, but stopped suddenly a few days ago, following a reboot. I'm guessing it's become corrupted, but I don't know what "it" is. I can navigate in a command line window normally.I have rebooted, and I have run System -> Administration -> Software Update, but that didn't fix the problem.I was going to add the information in System -> About This Computer, but that seems to be having the same problem.What can I do to fix this? What application is failing to run?

Fedora :: Opening Gnome-terminal - To Be Performed Only At Login
Jan 17, 2011I have a 'special script' in my .bashrc file, which I want to be performed only at Login. When I open a terminal (through a gnome launcher <gnome-terminal> as the command) it unfortunately sources .bashrc.
Hence the opening of the terminal runs the 'special script' again.
How can I instruct .bashrc not to do something except when and only when I am logging in? I found a segment of code which is supposed to do what I want but I am not sure of how it works.

Will this work to put my 'special script' in to ensure that it only runs when it is a login script and not when it is a simple launcher terminal opening?
Ubuntu :: Missing Entry In "Places" To RAID Array
Jun 7, 2011I've just re-installed 11.04 and noticed that my RAID array does not appear as an entry under "Places". In the previous installation, and in the LiveCD boot (which I'm using now), it appeared as en entry which I could click on to mount. In Disk Utility (and Gparted I think - not 100% sure) I can see both hard drives, and I can see the SIL controller that they come under, but I'm just not getting the array showing up in "Places", and the array checks out OK in BIOS. Using the Live CD, the array appears as an entry in /dev/mapper but when using the main installation all I can see in this location is "control".

Jan 13, 2010Whenever I try to use a bookmark in the Main Menu (under "Places"), I get an error message. For example, if I want to open my Documents folder, the message reads:
"[STOP Sign] Could not open location 'file:///home/pilotferdi/Documents'
Failed to execute child process "/usr/bin/digikam" (No such file or directory)" (I had digikam installed on my computer, then I decided to remove it.)When I open a Nautilus file browser, and choose "Information" from the side pane, my home directory is listed with these three options (buttons) below:
1. Open with digikam
2. Open with Gwenview
3. Open with Open Folder
Somehow, the default choice, "Open with Open Folder" has been replaced with "Open with digikam", and I cannot access the bookmarks anymore. I think I need to make "Open with Open Folder" the default option when I click on a bookmark, but I don't know how to do it. I tried without success to use alacarte to make the changes.
