I have just finished an install of Cent 5.5. I loaded up a trunk for a software application I want to compile on cent, but I cannot read the .cpp files. The issue seems to be with the file extension. If I change the extension to .txt, they open just fine. My .FOR, .FPP, and .DAT files display fine, but the .cpp and .h give me an error, "Couldn't display...". What is the problem here that won't let me open these files in gedit?

View 5 Replies View RelatedWhy is it when I run gedit, there are always tonnes of error or warning messages? (Even though my gedit ran successfully)
To name a few:
1. GConf error: failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you ned to enable TCP/IP networking for 0 RBit, or you have stale NFS lockes due to a system crash.
2. Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply among others.
Just to mention again my gedit is running fine though. Is there any configuration that I missed out? or I can disable to avoid these nuisance?

I've set up a low cost box with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx at home behind a router, and managed to get remote access running. My goal is to be able to host a small website and work on it remotely, so I isntalled ftp (vsftpd). When I tried to edit the vsftpd.conf file in Vinagre from work, I could only open it read-only, no surprise. When I tried 'sudo gedit' or 'sudo gedit /etc/vsftpd.conf' from terminal in Vinagre, I received the prompt for the password to elevate privileges (again, expected); however, after I hit Enter, nothing happens. I've tried a bunch of different things, but I can't get it to work. I can stop & start my ftp service with 'sudo service vsftpd stop/start' and it seems to work fine.

After I closed it and open it again, strange things happened, there were no Chinese words at panel , and could not display Chinese.....
Later, i have tried to logout session and login with Gnome session and set the default language as Chinese. This time, file names , program names can be showed in Chinese perfectly, somehow for gedit, nothing has changed, and English panel, no Chinese can be displayed.
Hello everyone,
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop (32-bit) and everything has been working fine out of the box (even the wireless card!), but there appears to be something wrong with NetBeans 6.8, whichI installed through the Software Center.
I set the font to Monospace size 12 and you'll see on the screenshot that the letters in NetBeans are way smaller and thinner.
I did some googling and tried to use start NetBeans with -J-Dswing.aatext=true and -J-Dawt.useSystemAAFontSettings=on, but that did not change anything.
Is there anything I can do to force NetBeans to display the font the same way gEdit does?
running 10.04 netbook lucid lynx and I have couple of simple plain gedit text files. Wheenver I open them I am always prompted "this is an executable file, with the the choice to Run in Terminal Display Cancel Run how do i get these simple text files (which are not executables unless file type got messed up) just to automatically display in gedit (they're set to open wtih gedt app).

I have a few .txt files that when opened in gedit give me an error "Could not open the file - gedit has not been able to detect the character encoding" HOWEVER, I can see some of the contents of the files (a few words) in the icon preview in nautilus. Also, I can open these documents in notepad (using wine) though I'd prefer to use gedit.
These might not all be txt files. I know one is directory of important phone numbers that was in some obscure format that could only be opened on a nokia phone.
Ok, so I'm trying to do this: [URL]
The problem is, when I get to the part where I have to open the file in gedit, it says it can't open it, file not found, or something or other..So, when I manually browse to the directory '.local/share/..' there is no folder named 'applications,' only a text file. When I open it, it appears to be the home launcher file, but its in the wrong place and has the wrong name. What's going on? Shouldn't there be a folder there with my applications in it?

I know GEdit has a bug which prevents it from opening a file with null () characters in it. This is a huge inconvenience for me because I frequently have to open big log files with only a couple rogue 's in them.
Sometimes I just run a quick tr -d '' < file.log > file.log.correct and open the correct file. This is a big nuisance. I would like to have maybe an external tool in GEdit that would execute the above command. I tried writing an external tool action (GEdit plugin) using just:
#!/bin/bash
tr -d ''
Input is "current document", output action is "replace current document". But this isn't working. When I open the file, GEdit shows the familiar red warning; activating the external tool with the warning showing apparently has no effect (I think the script is being called but its input/output are not set).

The only way to get it to work is to open a terminal, run 'su -', and then open it from there.As another example, I tried creating a nautilus script to open files as root with a command like this:
Code:

I'm pretty sure the problem is that it's granting privileges, but not using the full root environment, or something along those lines.
