General :: Changing The Default Application To Open Files - Ubuntu 11.04

Jun 30, 2011

I want to change the application that opens my mp3 files.

At present if I double click an mp3 it opens in the movie viewer for some reason. I know I can use "open with..." to get a file to open in Rythymbox instead, but I have over 800 mp3 files and want to change the default for all of them.

Debian :: Make Java Default Application To Open JAR Files

Feb 4, 2016

i cannot seem to find a proper way to make Java my default application to open .jar files. I just made a new Debian 8.3 install on my laptop HP Pavilion G6 and the default application for opening .jar files is the Archive Manager. But when i go to "Open with.." section on right-clicking the .jar file, i get no JRE or JDK option to choose. I just installed the openjdk 7. I can manually run them from the bash, but it would be much more convenient if i just double-clicked it. Here is what i get when i run several commands in the bash :

1) which java ->Code: Select allĀ /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
2) java -version -> Code: Select alljava version "1.7.0_95"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.4) (7u95-2.6.4-1~deb8u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)
3) echo $PATH: Code: Select all/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/bin: /usr/local/ sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ usr/ sbin:/usr/bin:/ sbin:/bin
4) javac -version : Code: Select alljavac 1.7.0_95

General :: Make A Default Application Open A Certain Extension File?

Nov 3, 2010

I know this is possible in GUI gnome. But is it possible to do it too in shell command? Let say if i type this in shell:

#file.txt

then it will open gnome-editor in nautilus which open file.txt. gnome is the desktop manager. nautilus is the explorer windows in gnome. gnome-editor is one like notepad in MS windows.

I would like to get the predefined application icon to open the same file types.

for instance: *.avi, *.mp3 to have the VLC icon

and other application to have the icon of their default application.

So far I only found tips to install single icons or to add icon packs. :S

and is there any way to when you install an application make it default for such file types ?

Ubuntu :: Why Does Open Office Not Have Base Application Installed By Default?

Ubuntu :: Files Of Various Types Not Assigned To Open With Proper Application

Feb 8, 2010

I'm having some really odd problems with Nautilus. The main one is that most of the time, files of various types are not assigned to be opened with the proper app, and I cannot assign an app. I described this problem in another thread: If I right click a .pdf for example, and select "Open With," the first two suggestions (Leafpad and gedit) are wrong. If I choose instead "Open with another program," I get a dialog with two tabs. One is "Recommended Applications" and is blank. The other is "All Applications." If I click "All Applications," instead of getting a list of apps or having the opportunity to choose one from /usr/bin, the entire dialog disappears abruptly. I'd say that's a "crash."

OpenSUSE Network :: SAMBA - Changing Default Permissions On Files And Directories Created From Windows Clients

Mar 9, 2010

I have a fileserver running openSUSE 11.2 and samba services for file access from MS Windows based workstations. My question relates to changing default permissions on files and directories created from the windows clients.

Following are extracts of the /etc/samba/smb.conf file :

Even with the above entries, sometimes there are files and directories created by the windows clients having permission

Probably my lack of understanding in ACLS.

General :: Changing Default UMASK Value?

Jan 15, 2010

I am attempting to modify the default umask value under all accounts on my linux system to 002. This will hopefully allow both the account and the account's group access to the created files.

I have modified it within /etc/bashrc, however it seems to be making no difference on this default value. The files I create through "File Browser" all have the access rights set to 600.

Is there any error here, as all evidence I can find on the internet points to the bashrc file.

Ubuntu :: Swiftfox Doesn't Have Default File Handling / Cannot Open Files From Download Menu

Swiftfox does not have default file handling, and thus I cannot open files from the download menu. When I go to choose the program I want to open the file with, it just takes me to my Home folder in Nautilus. I have no idea where to find the programs I need (Image Viewer, Open Office, and Movie Player are the main ones I need).

General :: Changing Default Audio Device In Pulseaudio?

Jun 5, 2011

I would like to use HDMI on my graphic card for audio output. ALSA shows it as a card with 4 devices and I can get sound through one of them (the other three are different channels, perhaps? I have only stereo output connected). Although Pulseaudio has the right card set as default, it seems to me that it plays on a wrong device. Pacmd shows that the sink has parameter alsa.device set to the first device listed by ALSA, but I can get sound only from the second one.How can I force Pulseaudio to use another device of the same card as a default output?

General :: Change Default Application For A PDF?

Jun 22, 2010

I'm running Redhat 5 Enterprise (Nautilus 2.16.2) with Gnome and am having trouble changing the default application for PDFs. No matter what I do, it seems to always come up as evince.

First I tried browsing to a PDF file using Nautilus, right clicking on a PDF file, selecting properties, open with, and then changing the radio button. However, the radio button is selecting "Document Viewer" and clicking on the other buttons doesn't do anything. The button is stuck on "Document Viewer" (I'd like to use Adobe Acrobat).

I thought I'd do it manually then. Running `gnomevfs-info file.pdf" shows code...

So now xdg-mime and gnomevfs-info are showing different default applications for this file type. I've tried updating the mime database using update-mime-database ~/.local/share/mime as well as updating my desktop database using update-desktop-database ~/.local/share but nothing seems to be working.

Changing a default application really shouldn't be this difficult. What should I try next to change my default application?

, however, shows something different

My .local/share/applications/defaults.list file, however, shows the following:

application/pdf=AdobeReader.desktop

General :: Changing Grub Boot Order And Make Win7 Default

Aug 13, 2010

I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from earlier versions. I have a dual boot system with Windows 7. Grub was set to boot Windows by default Things were working fine. I decided to upgrade to Grub2. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Now when booting up,the name at the top of the Grub menu is 1.98, which is Grub 2. When I run grub-install -v, it comes back grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97) which is not Grub2. Now when I boot up, Ubuntu 10.04 is the default. I have to manually choose Windows if I want to use that system. I have been unable to change the boot order following instructions from this site. Any Way changing the boot order to make Windows 7 the default. I am using a Toshiba Satellite.

General :: Executing The Default Application Assigned To A File Type?

Dec 10, 2010

Using gnome terminal (Ubuntu 10.10), is there a way to execute the default application associated to a file type, only by typing its name, as it is possible with Windows ?

For example, say I create a mime type associated to every file with the pattern *.abc. Lets say I associate this file type to application 'my_app'.

If I have file 'my_file.abc' in current folder, what I want is that when I enter only 'my_file.abc' at the prompt, it executes 'my_app' feeding it with 'my_file.abc' as first argument. (assuming of course 'my_app' is in the path)

I'm using Ubuntu now, and when I ssh into the same Linux machine, I can't open up gedit and mess with some files.

Is there a Linux version of Xming I have to get? I'm sure there's an easier way, I just don't know it.

General :: Copy A (big) Directory Over Another Changing Only The Files That Differ?

Feb 3, 2011

I have directory a and directory b. They are big. b is almost identical to a. "almost" means that 4-5 files differ, and I don't know which they are. I want to copy b over a, but only the files that differ. i'm in bash.(no, I can't simply delete a and replace it with b, because 1) a is version-controlled 2) a full copy (or a mv) would take too much. I want to copy only the files that differ).

I'm trying to setup an alias, that when I change to another directory, any directory, it will also display all its contents like ls -al:Well, that doesn't work. I guess it's an issue with the use of wild-cards.Maybe I should define a new, so far unused, name for the alias like cdl for example.Would be great if someone could help me. I search in several examples for bash aliases but couldn't find the right solution.
