Ubuntu :: Can't Delete Templates - Sent Folder In Evolution
Jul 29, 2010
A friend running Evolution on Ubuntu 9.10 lost her "Sent" folder. I soon discovered that she must have accidentally dragged it to "Templates", because inside that folder was another "Sent" folder containing all her sent e-mails. The main "Sent" folder was still there, but empty.
I moved all her sent e-mails back to the main "Sent" folder, and then tried to delete Templates-Sent, but Evolution just says it can't do that.
I try to install C support and it get this errorC/C++ template file '/home/perlsyntax/.vim/c-support/templates/Templates' does not exist or is not readableI get that after i make the dir ~/.vim and ~/.vim/plugin i put c support in my ~/.vim/plugin anyone know why i get the error message for on fedora?---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 AM -------------------- Post added at 01:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:06 AM -------------------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------[/COLOR]Anyone out there?
Make a new user Delete the "$HOME/Templates" folder Create a "$HOME/Templates" folder
Now, no new templates will be recognized in the right-click menu.
problems: Files created in the Templates folder are not found in the menu of <Right-Click> -> New Document.
In Nautilus, Go -> Templates sends me to /home/$USER/.
Non-solutions:
Restarting the computer does not solve this. I have done about an hour of searching on the internet and I have searched through the Nautilus source code.. I an not good enough with Linux to be able to understand the Nautilus source.
Recently I setup a system for a non-technical user. He is only using Firefox, Pidgin and OpenOffice for about 2 hours a day. I have created a folder "/home/jim/myFiles" where he can save his document files. But Jim has accidentally deleted his myFiles folder on 2 occasions. He had intended to delete a file in that folder. Is there a way to lock the folder so that the user and create/read/write documents in that folder but not delete the folder itself?
SO after using Testdisk to recover some images, the folders recup_dir.1 & 2 have saved in my FIle System area, when ever I try to press delete noting happens. I have also tried rm -f -rrm -f -fIt still dont delete, I have also deleted my user account and made a new one, but the files are still there.
I'm using ubuntu server 9.10 for a home build NAS. Everything is working great just have one more thing to figure out. I have Samba set up to access my files and I set up a recycle feature so anything deleted will get moved to a Recycled folder. (I learned this the hard way after hitting delete key by accident while browsing the shares in windows. Lost 100 GB of data)
Now it is for the most part working but the permissions on folders isn't getting set right. If I delete a file in a share I can go to Recycle bin folder and delete the file for good. But if I delete a folder I can not access that folder to delete or restore from the Recycle bin folder. I have to chmod the folder before I can do anything with it. Anything I can change to get folders deleted via windows to have the right permissions when it is moved to the Recycle bin folder?
I have Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 updated to 9.10 and have downloaded Remaster from Remastersys. I followed all of the instructions, which were simple enough. However, there must be some instructions missing as the process failed. Working with Remaster through Synaptic Manager, the iso was downloaded into my "home" folder into its own Remaster folder. It was not the iso, like you get when downloading a distro from the Internet, which downloads just an iso onto the Desktop. Inside the folder were a bunch of empty files (I know, because I opened them) and an iso . At this point the Remaster instruction stop. They do not say what to do with the other files, or what they have to do with the iso of my Ubuntu layout. So, like any other iso (once I knew which one was the iso of my setup), I double clicked on it and it ran me through the process of accessing the DVD to burn it. Which I did. I tested it and it failed with some kind of message to the effect that certain files were missing or it could not read it. So, I thought, I would have to do the 'hunt and peck' method and experiment a few times like I did with the ordinary distro downloads until I get it right. But first, I would have to dump the Remaster folder in the "home" folder since it took up so much space on my hard drive. Wrong! I come to find out it is in something called "root" and that I do not have permission to do anything with it but "copy" it. Great. Just great! Now what do I do. I tried to change permissions, but was not allowed to do that either. The only thing I could think of - and dread - was the idea of having to wipe my hard drive and go through the whole reinstall procedures, which takes me days, just because Remaster has locked itself into my system - and there is no 'back door' to get out of it.
Basically I messed up setting up Evolution with my Hotmail account, and I want to start again...however I can't do that. I have uninstalled it from the software centre, but when I reinstalled it, Evolution has remembered all my settings
There are 6 unread emails in my inbox but hey have no body, when I open them I get the following: Unable to retrieve messageCould not find message body in FETCH response.When I access the emails through my browser they are not on the server. I am using IMAP to sync my mail. I am running ubuntu 10.04 and Evolution 2.28.3Is there a way to purge the list of headers and then get them back form the server?
I've got a problem with my evolution here at work, which is running on a vanilla Ubuntu 10.10 install. Yesterday we received an email from a supplier with some tiff attachments. When this email is clicked on it freezes Evolution. The further problem is that I can't even browse into the inbox folder where it is since that email is the last thing that was highlighted. What is the best method for removing a single email from the Inbox? I thought about into the .evolution/mail folder, but I wasn't sure which files to modify to solve the problem.
Somebody has sent me an email that crashes Evolution. When I click on the email, that's it - I have to end the Evolution process and go back in again. Definitely can't double click it, or right-click to delete or simply delete. It just freezes. I can't see any of the text of the email, but I can see that there is a .tiff attachment.
I've poked around in the .evolution/ folders and can't find the right thing to delete to get rid of this specific email.
I'd like to configure Evolution (or Thunderbird) to delete Gmail messages. When I select messages and hit "Delete", the messages go to my local trash and they loose their Inbox label in Gmail. I would like that in Gmail, they loose their Inbox label and go to [Gmail]/Trash so that they'll be deleted after a month. Could I configure the "delete" key of my keyboard to move msg to [Gmail]/Trash ? Could I configure another key to move msg to [Gmail]/Trash ?
What other solution ? Because moving to the trash is not convenient, it takes a lot of time without a key shortcut.
is there anyway to have mail go to a diffrent folder in evolution.. here is what i mean... i have my main email go to inbox.. i would like other accounts to go to another folder i have a seprate email address for facebook cause it gets bogged down, it would be nice to have this go to my Facebook folder by default instead of filling my inbox..
I am on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS and using Evolution mail client.My folder named "Sourcng Validated1" is missing from Evolution. please help me to recover it.But in evolution I am not able to see...... I have lot of info in this folder....
I have 2 different distros on 2 partitions. I have Evolution on both distros and want to utilise the same .evolution folder from both distros depending which one I am using at present.In other words, if I have something changed in evolution in distro 1 I would like to see that change and work on in distro 2 and vice versa, because they work from the same /home partition. Possible?
I came home, having left Evolution running all day, to find it frozen and unresponsive. I killed it, opened it back up... and same thing. It opens, checks through my folders (I have one imap account, and one MH folder that Evolution dumps my pop mail into.) and freezes.
In the status bar, when it freezes, this is what it's doing:
I'm using my free 2Gb of Ubuntu One space to back up some stuff and synch files between a laptop and desktop.
I synched a folder ok to try it out. Then I used the FAQ at
[URL]
to manually unsynchronise the folder as the right click option was greyed out.
But now I want to delete that folder from Ubuntu One using the Web site. The 'top level' folder does not have a 'delete' option. I've deleted everything under it but just want to get rid of the husk.
I've got a folder on my disk that I simply cannot interact with at all. It was created while extracting an archive. It has a special character in its name: "�". But all those other characters work fine. Can anyone give me a hint on how to delete the folder?Tried in terminal with rm -r which gives me an error:Code:rm: cannot remove `03 - Und die unertr_glichen Schmuggler/': No such file or directory
I have a 500GB iomega portable HD. I used Gparted to split the drive into two partitions, a fat32 of roughly 400GB and an EXT4 partition of roughly 100GB.
On my EXT4 partition, there is a folder called lost+found. I can't delete it because I need to be root, yet my account has administrator priviliges (but I CAN rename the folder). I can't create other folders on this partition, nor can I copy-paste and files on there either.
Basically, that partition is unuseable. In the properties of the folder, it says that I am not the owner so I cannot change the permissions. (It is definitely MY hard drive) All options are greyed out.
How do I give myself permission to use this EXT4 partition?
I accidently selected the wrong folder to sync with ubuntu one. It has now added .u1conflict to all my files (around 8000 of them ) and now I can't stop the folder syncing. I've followed these instructions This just returns an error:
I am a newbie to ubuntu. I just have a simple question: I used wubi to install ubuntu and the installation procedure was perfect. One problem arose after installation, the c:/ubuntu becomes almost 30G! Can I delete it?
I installed a program in /usr/share on Ubuntu 10.04, but the program was actually bigger than there was room on that partition. It gave me some trouble, because when I tried to delete the folder, it said it couldn't move it to the Trash. When I restarted, it won't let me log in Ubuntu again...
Is it possible to delete this folder (/usr/share/IDE_SE) from Windows? or some other workaround to delete this folder in Ubuntu?
I find it gets stuck at refreshing folder and I have to close it and re-open to get it going again. It did not use to b a problem in the past, we seem to be regressing in its usability since the early versions of ubuntu. I hope someone there knows what the problem is, otherwise have to start experimenting with other email clients, what a pain.
I've been organizing my pictures (i.e. deleting the bad ones). However, I've recently got hold of those same pictures on a higher resolution and I'd like to delete the same pictures of the higher resolutions.This means that I'll have two folders, High Res and Low Res. I'd go through all files in the High Res folder and I'll check if there's a file with the same name in the Low Res folder. If there is, the file in the High Res folder will be kept. Otherwise, I'll delete it.So I wanted some quick way to delete PIC1.JPG, PIC3.JPG and PIC4.JPG from the High Res folder.
I backed up my information from 10.4 to an external hard drive before I switched to pinguy using sbackup. Once I installed pinguy, I made sure to download sbackup and hit restore. So far, all fine and dandy, except when it restored my information, it extracted all the information to a new folder in /home, which is root-restricted, so I can't even access it normally. I got annoyed, and just manually extracted the music and documents (which were the only things I really cared about anyway), and now I'd like to delete the 15 or so gigabytes just sitting on my computer, taking up space. The folder being root, I couldn't just drag it to the wastebasket. so I started terminal, entered root, typed rm /home/tmpuWiQlI (the folder in question), only to be told it's a directory and can't delete it! What gives?
I copied a folder from /media/memory_stick into a folder /opt/openerp/server/bin/addons. Trying to open the copied folder I discovered that it is impossible because it is owned by root.I should like to delete the copied folder.To avoid this ownership I copied the folder in /home/cristian/Downloads and I will copy it with:sudo cp -R folder_name /opt/openerp/server/bin/addonsMaybe in this way the folder will be not more owned by root.I tried already but because in the destination folder already exist one owned by root nothing is happening.
Is there a way to remove individual deleted e-mails (as opposed to having to empty the entire contents of the folder) from the trash folder in the Evolution e-mail program? If not, you can do this in Outlook, why would this option not be included in Evolution?
