Software :: Ubuntu 11.04 - Nautilus Tab Size Stretches For Each Directory
Jul 8, 2011
Just installed Ubuntu 11.04, which has Nautilus 2.32.2.1. When more than one directory is open, the tab for each directory s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-s way across the screen, so all tabs added together take up 100% of the width. So with two folders open, each tab is 50% of the screen width! In previous Nautilus versions, each tab was just normal size. Cannot find a Preference to change this, and Googling for any solution brings up someone's previous query of this nature: [URL] and the fact that no one has responded! Is this an option that can be changed? Anyone come across this new "feature" before?
I was getting low disk space notifications so I used LVM to increase Ubuntu's volume from 10GB to 50GB. LVM and Disk Utility show the correct new size, but System Monitor and the Properties of the File System (in Nautilus) show the old, smaller size. Do I need to update something to get them to see the new size?
I just installed Lucid Lynx and everything is running smoothly except one thing: The desktop stretches out of the viewport of my monitor. By desktop, I mean the menu bar and such (the UI), not the desktop background image.
I played around with the screen resolution, but if I set it to anything other than what the system defaults to (1600x1200), the display repeats the windows and such with a whole bunch of noise overlayed atop.
As a side note, this is a fresh install, not an upgrade of previous system, and I've installed all updates. I'm not sure what hardware information would be useful, so I'll just give you my model: Gateway W323-UI1
When zooming to 100% in listview the font gets huge, but only in the listview panel (see image). Where to reconfigure this to normal behaviour (I'd like the 100% fontsize to be the same as in the treeview in the left panel). I had this behaviour already with the previous relase of Ubuntu, and upgrading to 10.04 did not solve the problem.
some reason I lost my default icon sizes in Nautilus. This only appears to affect any graphic files like .jpg, .png, etc. that I keep in my "Pictures" folder. I also have this issue with video files that I keep in my "Video" folder.Currently I am running Ubuntu Natty and using the Ambiance theme that is customized with Faenznt icons. Nautilus is customized with Nautilus Elementary. Changing themes has no effect. The folders all appear normal and other icon file types appear normal, it's just my graphic d video files that are appearing small.Running dconf editor shows my icon setting is set to normal. I am enclosing a pic so you can see the folders display at a normal size, but the graphic files do not.
Just wondering if it's possible to change the size of icons when Nautilus is in List View. I tried playing around with gtk-icon-sizes in the gtkrc file of my theme, but there doesn't seem to be a setting for it there. I could just zoom in/out, but when I have the icons the size I want them to be, the text is too small (see attachment).
How do I get Nautilus to "remember it's window size? It seems that with F12 when I open a nautilus window it starts at some preset default size, and even though I change it and then close it. It returns to the default size when I open it again.
No Matter what I do and change in gnome-tweak-tool, the window title bar won't change to anything else, won't go smaller, even the downloaded themes won't change the bar, and I cant seem to find the needed codes in xml to change them. photo is attached to illustrate the things I need to changeI need to change their size in the first place, and maybe change them to like ambiance or whatever. i've seen many guides on the net, and It still don't find the neeeded solution
I have set Nautilus to sort files by type, but for some reason it always, by default, arranges files by size, meaning I have to actually click the "type" column every time I open a new folder. How do I make it sort stuff by type like it's supposed to?
It stretches the parts of the 3d object to the sides of the viewing area. This makes Google Earth almost impossible to use. I have a video of Google Earth's problem here: [URL] Here's a screenshot of it in GLChess: screenshot_001.jpg I am running Ubuntu 10.06 Lucid Lynx on an old HP dv5000 laptop. It has ATI Radeon graphics.
I have 2 directories in my home folder that I would like to set a size limit on. The directories are ~/backup and ~/temp. Is there an easy way to limit the size of a directory without having to make partitions?
When I open a directory from the Places menu on the Gnome panel, two Nautilus windows open up. One is the location I asked for. The other is always "/media/Data/ZZZMaint/PC/R stats pkg". I think it may be to do with the fact that some time earlier I had created a launcher in the Main Menu - called "R documentation"', with command "nautilus --no-desktop '/media/Data/ZZZMaint/PC/R stats pkg' " (the idea was to have a menu item that opened up a folder containing a set of documents I refer to). I have since disabled that menu item but the problem remains. I would very much like to stop Nautilus opening this extra window.I've tried looking through gconf-editor but haven't seen anything that looks relevant. The extra window doesn't get opened when I run Nautilus from other places, but it always happens when Nautilus is opened from the Places Menu, regardless of whether I'm opening a drive or a bookmark.
Like the title says, I want to be able to open the directory I'm browsing in nautilus.To clarify this, as I barely understand what I said, I'll give an example.
Code: cd ~/what/ever/this/is/complex/path Hmmm.... A lot of files in here with long complex names and I only want to move certain ones..... Better open it in nautilus with my handy dandy script/alias!
what I'd like to have is a way to open a terminal directly from Nautilus and the terminal's active directory should be the one that is opened in Nautilus. Does Nautilus have a plugin system or is there another way to add this functionality?
Is there any way we could display dicrectory's size in terminal? Because I need to copy directories to external devices like USB, so I need to know there is enough space left on my USB for those directories or not. I tried ls command but still couldn't find out.
I work on Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome.When I open a directory, I can search with Ctrl-f (edited Ctrl-F instead of F3). However, the search starts in my home directory (the home directory is the default). That can be fixed by adding new criteria in the search results. However, I would like to change the default directory always to the directory or folder from which I start the search.How can I convince Nautilus to search by default for files and folder names in the current directory or folder (the one from which I start searching)?
Nautilus File Manager search in a directory seems to be corrupted. It's glued to a previous search and you cannot start a new one. Anybody know how to repair?Clicking the magnifying glass goes to this directory (it reads Search for ""under the Title Bar).
I was trying to encrypt a USB flash drive, but truecrypt shows me two usbs. Here is wht is says Quote:/dev/sdb: and then it says the size is 3.7GB and then the mount directory is blank.owever is also list another one that says Quote:/dev/sdb1 the size is 3.7Gb and the mount directory is /media/USB20FDI have a PNY 4GB flash drive.
I need to increase the size of my /home directory. I am working with Ubuntu(2.6.35-22-generic #33-Ubuntu SMP Sun Sep 19 20:34:50 UTC 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
I checked the partitons with df -h command...the output is :
Clearly /usr has loads of space here...and I dont know /home is mounted with which partiton...I read somewhere that tune2fs command could be useful here...I dont want to experiment and mess up here..
Yesterday after downloading a file I tried to find it on the desktop where downloaded files are saved. It does not appear in nautilus but when I look for it from command line it appears to be there. I simply do 'ls' for this and that means its not hidden.Googled it for an hour to find a suitable answer but most of the posts focus on removing the in front of file name which is not the case here.
I need to set size limit for shared directory. Actually i am unable to set directory size for my NFS shared foldermy Dir locate in /root/ESSR_logex : This ESSR_log Directory size should be 20GB. that mean NFS client only can store up to 20 GB files. NOT MORE
What is the minimal size for a home directory?I did a manual partition install in VirtualBox. My vdi had these settings: RAM = 500MB & HDD = 10GB.Does this look correct.I am never certain as to the options for Primary, Logic, Beginning and End.Does it matter the order in which you make partitions in Ubuntu?
I have a problem from time to time. Now is such a time. Nautilus is not able to read/enter my own home directory. It can enter/read ANY other directory, but my own home directory. Killing the Nautilus process, doesn't help. Logging out doesn't help. I need to reboot to get nautilus to read my home directory. Sometimes, it suddenly appears after a couple of minutes, but not always. What is taking so long time or causing the hanging? What should I do?
I have a 4gb USB thumb drive with Ubantu 9 on it and it looks like I have over 3gb free but I only have 4mb free in the documents Directory. w do I increase the size of the directory so I can add my Doc files?
As example, I have directory in /root called as "shared". i already shared this directory using NFS. i want to limit this directory size into 20 GB(20*1024*1024).That means "shared" directory reserved 20 GB disk space from the HDD.how can i solve this problem
We have a problem where there is not enough space in our /tmp partition. We are trying for fix our mysql database, and keep running in to the space issue... the error we are getting says:
myisamchk: Disk is full writing '/tmp/STGL3SGd' (Errcode: 28). Waiting for someone to free space... (Expect up to 60 secs delay for server to continue after freeing disk space)
Our /tmp partition is current set at 485M, but it is not large enough to handle the database fix...
Does anyone know of a work around - perhaps to assign different directory for the temp files?
