Ubuntu :: AWN File Browser Launcher Doesn't Match Theme
Jun 2, 2010It doesn't matter what theme I use, the AWN file browser launcher applet always looks the same...I strongly dislike inconsistencies.

View 6 RepliesI backed up .themes from /home, but on trying to install them (files don't show as theme packages) it says "There was an error installing the selected file, index.theme doesn't appear to be a valid theme". Did I backup the right thing?

I was using dd_rescue to make a copy of a drive with a corrupt and unfixable Partition Table. I was a fool, and had a drive mounted to /media/Storage, but ran the backup to /media/storage.
Thus, dd_rescue completely filled my primary drive before informing me that there was a problem.
I don't really trust myself with command line work, so I foolishly sudo'ed nautilus and deleted the folder /media/storage.
Unfortunately, I didn't realize it, but the available space on the drive still read 0bytes.
I tried Terminal work to do a sudo apt-get clean command, but for some inane reason, the laptop screen won't support the display setting for the Terminal login, so I just had to hope that I was doing it right.
I wasn't, and decided to try working from a Live CD so I could see what I was doing.
the folder /root/.Trash/ doesn't exist on Ubuntu's install drive, and I can't figure out why the properties of the drive say "contents: 241310 files, 3.7 GB" but also "Total capacity: 52.8 GB. Free space: 0 bytes"
Any suggestions on how I can get this to shake out?
I've just started out learning to program and I'm making a "Radio Scheduler" for my brother as a mini project. I wanted to make an "install" script, which would add an item to Ubuntu's Main Menu. I believe all that is necessary is to create a .desktop file and place it it /usr/share/applications/? This seemed to work fine when I tried it out on 10.10, but I've now tried it on two 10.04 systems (one virtual) and despite it being in the applications folder (so it moved in okay), it isn't showing up at all in the menu. code...
I'm not entirely sure about some of that (categories for instance), as I just used another file as a reference. But it seemed to work fine on my 10.10 system, so I don't understand why it won't show up on the others? Should be in Sound & Video if I'm correct... I'm still pretty new to Linux, so sorry if I've got anything completely wrong.
Thats looks like a DSL icon, but I am using wired. It was looking normal before and now this ugly icon keeps showing up.

I've red the description on Ubuntu's site how to bring apache2 and PHP together, but it simply cannot find php module. How on earth can I force Linux to act as a normal OS?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI installed Fedora 12 yesterday. After installation, I added some packages like gstreamer*, amarok, vlc etc.
Once I rebooted, all desktop icons became invisible and I'm unable to open file browser and browse files/folders.
When I log out, I get this message saying "File Manager not responding!"
I initially thought I messed up with settings, and created a new account. Still no use.
BTW, I use Gnome Desktop Environment.
I went further and installed Fedora 12 again. And did the same package installation. And after reboot, no desktop items is visible and can't browse files/folders using file browser (nautilus).
I use several different browsers, and I don't have a lot of memory, so I try to only have one open at a time. I wanted web pages to open in whatever browser was open at the time, so I created a shell script and set it as the default browser. It checks to see if any other browsers are running, and if not, it opens the page in Swiftfox (an optimized version of Firefox). This worked for quite a while, but recently it stopped working. Now it opens URLs in Swiftfox regardless of what else is running, and I can't figure out why. As far as I can tell none of the process names have changed, and I haven't edited the script.
The script:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
if pidof swiftfox-bin
then swiftfox $*
else if pidof firefox
then firefox $*
else if pidof google-chrome
then google-chrome $*
else if pidof opera
then opera $*
else swiftfox $*

i've installed cairo-dock to have some eye candy on my openbox desktopso everything's been good, and installed lxappearance so i won't have gnome daemon running all the time, the thing is that when i use the nautilus launcher from cairo dock, the window keeps the default theme of nautilus which is... in lack of a better word "ugly" you know is all gray and looks like the one that came with win$h!.. 98, but actually lxappearance works 'cause i can see the theme i chose when i execute rhythmbox or other application.so my question would actually be.. why it looks crappy only when i launch it from cairo-dock? the launcher uses the command nautilus --no-desktop, so maybe i have to add something so it will apply the theme?? i don't know.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to implement a chroot directory for a group of sftp users who all manage a shared directory. The relevant portion of my sshd_config file is below:
[Code].....
this is the latest yum reports as available. according to the error is would seem both 'Match' and 'ForceCommand' statements are not supported in this version of ssh? Do I have any options aside from installing from tarball from openssh.org? If I do that would that mean I could not use yum to maintain ssh on my system anymore? Not sure what to do, I have to chroot this group of users, I can't just chroot at the global config level because I need to still be able to ssh as my admin user to this box to administer it. I need the chroot'ing only for sftp purposes.
If I have a panel larger than standard size, the notification icons scale accordingly but the indicators stay the same size so it looks pretty rubbish. I would like the notification icons to stay the same size.How can I fix it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a weird/stupid question. How do you know what command would start an application after installing it, if the synaptic package name doesn't match?
For example google chrome and lmsensors. The first appears as Chrome in Synaptic and the second as lmsensors, but to run them you have to type google-chrome for the first and sensors for the second in the console to start them.
When I did locate sensors or locate chrome/chromium, nothing came up in the search that would hint me that I need to run those commands. I had to rely on a google search and look for someone else's answer. Is there a better way, one that I can figure it out on my own?
I upgraded from F11(x86_64) to F12 with no reported errors. (expected an update session to follow, but it didn't.)
Tried a manual "yum update" and it aborted with a notice that libssl.so.8 was not found (required by python-2.6.2). I didn't find anything useful at wiki.linux.duke.edu/YumFaq.
The DVD installs python-2.6.2-2 (8/21/09) and openssl-1.0.0-0.10.beta3 (10/16/09). /usr/lib/libssl.so.10 is a symbolic link to libssl.1.0.0. libssl.so.8 is not found, really.
I thought of replacing openssl with one from F11 but it was required by too many packages - couldn't remove.
I tried to find a later rpm of python, but couldn't locate any Fedora directories with individual packages.
I've searched the web and the forums. What am I missing?
I got Songbird here: [URl]... I've been trying to make a launcher for it and everything i've tried doesn't work. I've tried browsing for it and i've fiddled around with a few commands, but I can't get anything to work.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to Natty this weekend, so don't have much experience with Unity yet. I tried to create a launcher, which starts an application on a VMware virtual machine using vmware-unity-helper (lot's of unity here .
Anyway, so I created the launcher, e.g. MS Project code...
The Exec command is just a little python script, which checks whether the VM is running and then executes the vmware-unity-helper command with the correct path and all.
The launcher works, when I double-click in in nautilus. But when I drag'n'drop to the unity bar and click it nothing happens. I pulses some (as if the application would start) but nothing happens.
I love the Ubuntu launcher and am currently using it.However I was wondering if it'd be possible to have it stick to the left and not push back into the side.So when a program is maximized it doesn't go over the launcher.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have the following query:
Code:
$sql="SELECT table1.datetime, table1.user_id, table2.ip, FROM table1,table2 WHERE id='$id' AND (table1.id = table2.id AND table1.datetime = table2.datetime)";
In table2 the datetime fields are about 1 to 2 seconds off due to the source of the data, which I cannot change.
Is it possible via a query match table1.datetime & table2.datetime by HH:MM (ie. to the minute instead of to the second)?
The Compiz Setting page for Unity will not let me set the launcher to autohide or other hiding option, and the Experimental page will not let me reduce the icon size. The lack of hiding is another as the left edge of windows can disappear under the the Launcher.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 some weeks ago and after some minor tweaking everything has been working fine. But all of a sudden, it seems after some package upgrades, I'm experiencing strange behavior: The first thing I noticed is that after reboot the default application that should be kept in the Unity Launcher have all disappeared. The unity launcher doesn't hide itself anymore. The unity launcher does not react to changes I make via the 'System Settings'->'compizConfig settings manager'->'Ubuntu unity plugin' menu (icon sizes in launcher, hiding method, etc.). Even after logout/login or reboot the changes aren't applied, although the corresponding settings in the configuration menus remain changed.
One application that used to work as a charm started giving the following error on startup: The program 'VESTA' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 489 error_code 3 request_code 138 minor_code 4) Since yesterday everything was still working properly and today I get this strange behavior, it seems that something must have changed in between. The only changes on the system in the last 24 hours are the upgrades of the following packages:
[Code]....
#!/bin/csh -f
source /xxxx/
set $spicedir = `sim_${1%.*}`
printf "Output folder is %s
" $spicedir
toolcommand -i $1 -o $spicedir
(-o output directory, -i =input)
I got spicedir: Undefined variable in my xterm
How could I match a file name without extension in csh
I'm trying to find the correct sed syntax to match from a given pattern to the end of the file and then append that pattern to the end of the file.
I was trying:
But that prints each line right after its original occurrence. I want to match the block and then append it to the end of the file.
When I log in locally, sometimes my theme isn't applied. This problem started a few weeks ago, but before that the same theme would load just fine every time. In order to get my chosen theme to load, I go System > Preferences > Appearance. As soon as I click "Appearance"...boom. My theme loads and all is fine. I don't have to change settings or anything....just start the "Appearance" utility.
This doesn't all of the time, only sporadically. Another thing to mention is that I'm using AWN. When this happens, AWN doesn't load all of the launchers. I killall and restart AWN and all is good there. Anybody have a clue what could be going on? Compiz related?
Sometimes when I log on, I find that the theme (specifically the window borders and icons) didn't load properly, and that I instead get a set of grayish window borders (Raleigh, I believe) and the gray GNOME icons. Sometimes the window borders corrects itself, but the icons stay the same. Reloading compiz doesn't help, and the only solution I found was to logoff/logon.

When I change the theme, the window decorations change accordingly, but the contents of the windows (controls, panels) are in the raw X look (I don't know how else to put it) and do not change regardless of theme selection. I've tried customizing the theme and selecting something different on the "Controls" tab, but it doesn't work.
X is working properly with Nvidia driver, Compiz is working properly as well. Killing Compiz didn't help with the theme problem.I used 64-bit Lucid, so I guess it upgraded to 64-bit Maverick.
Some thing is using up a huge amount of my disk space about 10G and I can not determine what it is. When I look at my disk usage in system monitor it say I have used about 25G and when I scan the directory in disk usage analyzer the entire file system used is 15G.
