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:
Code:
I recently upgraded my vps from 8.04 to 11.04.
When I run apt-get upgrade I get

If I try apt-get install -f I get

Last week I did the upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10 to 11.04. Did it on-line, and it went really well; actually the best upgrade since I started with Dapper I promptly got rid of the Unity desktop and went back to Gnome. Everything worked normally, except K9copy does not work any more. Whether I invoke it from the terminal or the Apps menu, it open the first window and crashes when trying to read the DVD; here is the terminal output:
Code:
jf@mainu:~$ k9copy

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.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
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 could mount/umount usb through pcmanfm. Recently I have upgraded my debian to wheezy. The pcman version is now 0.9.8 but now I can't mount/umount usb drive any more. It gives an error "Not Authorized" . I already have this at .xinitrcexec dbus-launch icewm-sessionbut no success. Even I have tried withexec ck-launch-session dbus-launch icewm-sessionIt also not helpful and additionally Trash stops working with this. Has anyone have any fix

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

Not a huge problem but very irritating none-the-less.
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently 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.
View 1 Replies View RelatedFor 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]

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.
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe 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:

I used the yast SW Manger to update pcmanfm with no change.

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.

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.

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.

I was having a problem with a fresh 11.04 install and the VPN software I use for work. I found the fix was to upgrade the software, so I downloaded an RPM, converted it to .deb and installed it via dpkg. The install worked and the VPN software now works, but Package Manager says I have a broken package and wants to 'upgrade' to the older broken one. How can I fix this without breaking my VPN SW again?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have just got my 10.04 LTS CD from Canonical.
I was too impatient and upgraded to 10.04. The up-gradation was not without its flaws, but I have worked around a number of issues and I am happily working on it now.
I have installed a number of other software on the 10.04 upgraded version like Eclipse, GATE (NLP software), BasKet Notes, Thunderbird etc. If I install the LTS version will I have to re-download and install all of these things? Or is it portable?
I use only Linux on my laptop and so the stability is very important.
