Software :: Pcmanfm - Set-wallpaper Does Nothing ?
May 17, 2011
In GNOME one can write an XML document telling the system when to change between various files to automatically change the desktop wallpaper, and then set that XML document as the wallpaper.
I have three I like to switch between, containing the schedules and playoff brackets of my favorite sports teams.
I've been using LXDE far more than I've been using GNOME these days, but LXDE won't let me set the XML as the wallpaper like GNOME does.
So after searching around a bit I thought I'd create a cronjob that would change the wallpaper every 20 minutes.
So I set up this
Code:
But it didn't do what I thought it would in changing my wallpaper automatically.
Since I had never used cronjobs before I thought I was doing something wrong in how I had it set up. Various tries to no avail.
But then I have the real problem none of the various I've treid of simply running pcmanfm --set-wallpaper or pcmanfm -w (the --help says they do the same thing) actually do anything. I've tried both with and without.

There's no desktop tab in ubuntu's PCManFM, how do I get it to be the desktop manager in this case? Also, pcmanfm -d just opens pcmanfm, doesn't start it in daemon mode.

I need to remove pcmanfm but I don't know how I can replace pcmanfm by xfdesktop.
I tried to remove pcmanfm, install xfdesktop and replace in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart @pcmanfm on @xfdesktop. It doesn't work.

I am using pcmanfm.I connect to internet using wvdial.I know that if I write a command in a text file and give it .sh extension and make it executable, then whenever I'll click that file the command will run.In nautilus you have the privilege that when you click a file you can select whether you will run it in terminal or display the contents or just run.But in pcmanfm or konqueror you do not get that option. I want that I will make a file named wvdial.sh and In the file the command wvdial will be written.When I will click it ,gnome-terminal will open and wvdial will run.Please tell me how I can do this with other file managers like pcmanfm or konqueror.know that if I give this command in terminal:./wvdial.sh it will run

This is a strange one... I updated my linux distro and all the software with it and now pcmanfm (my file manager) is broken.
After 98 updates and 4 hours of compiling all the other updates work fine except for the pcmanfm one.
Running it in the terminal says this:

I'm trying to familiarize myself with LXDE to help a friend of mine and one thing I just cannot solve, despite many googles, is how to allow a non-root user to auto-mount drives in the left-hand pane of PCMANFM.Everything works just fine as long as I have the root passwd. Not a huge problem but very irritating none-the-less.

Recently pcmanfm crashes more frequently then before. Each time it occurs, I cannot open another instance of it until I reboot my desktop/laptop. But this is not possible if I happen to be doing some long computational work. I have been using it with fluxbox for two years already, and previously I simply reopen another new window and get on with my work.

For not apparent reason, yesterday PCmanFM stopped showing CDROM on the list of mountable devices. Before, it was being listed every time I put some written cd/dvd in it.
I don't think fstab has anything to do with it since there was no change to it AND I know for a fact that the line in fstab for cdrom since 5 months is actually wrong.

I have found a bug, pcmanfm sometimes crashes with any right click, on the desktop or on any pcman window. The kernel.log sows: pcmanfm[1171]: segfault at 1 ip 00bd859b sp bfc189bc error 4 in libc-2.12.so[abc000+157000]

It is running when LXDE starts but clicking on it in the menu crashes it. I have removed/purged it many times, still have the same problem.
Trying to start it from terminal gives:
Anyone else running LXDE on sid have this issue?
I filed a bug report on Debian and at Sourceforge. [url] [url]
Trying to get a backtrace using gdb doesn't give any useful info:

I can't access (read/write) to my Windows partition from PCManFM on LXDE. On Gnome it is usually on the left side and you have to click on it and it mounts. I want to do the same for PCManFM. When I installed Debian with "Standard system utilities" it did work like it did on Gnome.

The root password is accepted by yast and the lxde login manager, but not the super user version of the pcmanfm file manager. The user pcmanfm icon in tthe lxde control center works OK.
From the lxde control center the superuser icon gives "permission denied" and reverts to the user version. Invoking pcmanfm from a su root shell gets 3 paragraphs of output referencing this error:
a** (pcmanfm:8870): DEBUG: FmJob error: Permission deniedll:
I used the yast SW Manger to update pcmanfm with no change.
If there is interest here, I can insert these 3 paragraphs. I have the stock 11.4 kernel 2.6.37.6-0.5-default.

I changed the file manager from nautilus to pcmanfm via Ubuntu Tweak in Linux Mint 8. Is it safe to uninstall nautilus completely and just use pcmanfm?

Edit: Changed the title to fit the solution I found (which is to replace pcmanfm), and added some stuff. This was originally about mailcap, which is an exotic thingummy to change preferred applications, but did not work.

So I made a text file on a windows machine and brought it home on a flashdrive. When I opened it in PCMan File manager it did not show, but executing ls in a terminal shows the text file just fine. It is the only one that appears to be missing in PCManfm. I've had a similar problem going the other direction (Linux to Windows, but with pdfs) many months ago. here is ls -l
Code: Select all/media/FE32-A2F6/Translation/Kevin$ ls -l

The file is Translation.txt. What is different about this file that it would do such a thing? It doesn't look at all different from above.

Running Fedora 13, LXDE spin. Today, the pcmanfm package updated to version 0.9.7 during a software update. After a reboot, I no longer have desktop icons and I'm seeing the default Fedora wallpaper. Also, if I right-click on the desktop, I get a standard openbox menu instead of the LXDE one.
I would like to get my old desktop back.

Entries from fstab:
Code: Select allUUID=04E2891117C6D1E8 /mnt/Movies auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
UUID=22C19F6A209C7999 /mnt/Storage/ auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0

UUID=2983C8A82A5FEF6C /mnt/Down/ auto user,nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show 0 0
The only one that shows in PCMANFM is the Movies partition. All others listed here are missing.
I checked syslog and it looks like they all mount correctly.
This puzzles me since all of them have the same options set.

While using winamp in windows, you are able to set the visualization to "desktop mode" in which the visualization takes up your icons and covers your desktop while playing music. Is this possible to do in linux?
