Ubuntu :: Can't Find File-roller In Xubuntu Applications Menu?
Jun 3, 2011
find file-roller (aka 'Archive Manager') in xubuntu's Applications menu. I surely have it; it is the default application for opening archives, I can invoke it from the terminal but I can't just... run it from the Applications drop-down.I even tried the Application Finder with no luck using the keywords file-roller, archive, file, roller, .zip. .tar, etc. No luck.Can anyone else find it on their Applications dropdown menu? Or at least tell me that they can't find it either?I'm curious if I have some configuration glitch, or if this is a bug, or maybe there's just something in the water here.

Applications working properly with SUDO only UBUNTU Noteboox 10.10 XUBUNTU I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick notebook version on my HP Compaq nc6400 (Intel core2 CPU T5600@1.83GHZ). Later installed Xfce4. So, I am now on Xubuntu on top of Ubuntu (it seems).Coming to my problem, even though application working fine normally, Menu is not displayed in most of the applications. Ex: Transmission, GIMP, Mousepad, Pinta, gedit ........ No application shows the file,edit.. menus.
Also file sharing is also not possible in normal mode. When I right click on any folder or file sharing option is not visible. But if I run these applications with SUDO the menus are appearing. When I open nautilus with SUDO , I am able to get sharing options in right click. I tried the below command as advised in thread.php?p=6474144 But it failed

I was messing with Openbox, LXDE, and Pekwm a couple days ago to see if I liked any of them, but I ended up coming back to gnome.
But it seems that, somehow, some of my preferred apps settings got wiped during this process.
The most annoying one, is I have no default application for archives (zip, tar.gz, etc). I can tell Ubuntu to "Open With..." and that works... but it doesn't stick.
How can I return this back to normal Ubuntu behavior?
UPDATE: It appears that nearly ALL my preferred application settings are gone. Pretty much everything except couple filetypes show up with the standard "file" icon and won't open unless I use "open with".

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I started to have a kind of annoying problem with file-roller. I do not know what I attempted to unpack or pack form my USB HDD a couple of days ago, but when I did I got a message from the archive manager, the message was: "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." Well, I just shrugged, and continued doing whatever I was doing, but later I noticed that whenever I tried to open the HDD for whatever reason from "PLACES" in the main panel, I was getting the same error message over and over again.
It is not produced when I open the HDD from the Desktop link in my Desktop, that link will open the HDD with no problems. But if I try to access the HDD from "PLACES" in the main panel I will always get the same error message. Ok, what have I tried: since the archive manager window shows the "file-roller" logo in the menu button, I assumed that file roller is stuck with the previous process for which it produced an error, therefore I tried to "kill" any pending processes by several ways: Login-off, re-starting and turning the computer off.
That did not worked. Whenever I attempted to open the HDD from "PLACES" the same error "Could not create the archive, Archive type not supported." will return. Assuming that nautilus was stuck with the process I tried to kill any pending processes by using Alt+F2 and trying to kill the pending nautilus process using:
ps -e | grep nautilus
and then the command
kill {####}
That did not worked either. I was tired and uninstalled "file-roller" using the software manager, this solved the problem. But I actually use "file-roller" so I re-install the program and the problem returned. I tried to uninstall the program using synaptic manager using the "Mark for complete removal" option, uninstall, re-install and the problem was there. I uninstalled all the other recommended packages that were installed along with "file-roller" using synaptics and then just tried to install "file-roller" alone, the problem is still here.
Then I thought it was a problem related to the HDD. So I went ahead and re-formatted it using the EXT4 file system with no partitions. Re-booted and the problem is still here. Whatever process I started with "file-roller" or one of its companion pkgs is still active somewhere, I believe is "alive" in the system's HDD, because it returns after a complete uninstall/reboot/install process. I do not want to mess with "nautilus" itself, Do I need to uninstall/reinstall "nautilus-data" pkg?
System: Ubuntu 10.10, running solo in an EXT4 single partition.
Desktop: Gnome v2.32.0
Programs: file-roller v.2.32.0-0ununtu1; unzip v6.0-4; zip v3.0-3; xz-utils 4.999.9beta+20100527-1
USB HDD: 500GB, single partition, EXT4 file system.

hy I can't make a 7z archive with file roller? I have already installed p7zip, p7zip-plugins, and 7za. I don't understand what the problem is. I can make a 7z archive from the command line with no problems. I keep getting this message but it doesn't tell me what the error is. Quote:An error occurred while adding files to the archive.

Only "Favourites", "Run Command" and "Leave" is shown on the classic KDE menu, same thing when switching to Launcher Menu Style. Missing Applications and everything else. File associations is not working. Double clicking any type of file it asks to install the program and the known applications menu is empty.
I tried to add a new user, same problem with that. I also noticed that when running Chrome it asks to be the default web browser each time even when I say yes.
I have not been messing with anything, I suspect it happened during a update, but I got the exact same repositories on 2 other x64 machines where there is no problem.
I'm using KDE 4.6.0 from the factory repository.
I tried to reinstall some KDE4 packages without any luck.
I do not want to reinstall the entire system or downgrade KDE.
Code:
# | Alias | Name | Enabled | Refresh

I am using Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.
I remove the applications which i don't use from main-menu. Now i can not see them from "open with" menu when i right click to a file.
Also it will be very nice if Ubuntu can show me on the "open with" menu the possibilities of applications which can open properly the file type which i want to open. I try to configure with ubuntu-tweak's "file type manager" but it is not possible to configure all of file types. I think Ubuntu's applications must to know which applications has to show for which file types. And i don't know how to do that. I need an application like this : url
I get a new user from the same OS, and i see that the same problem still there... For example many many compressed files, audio or graphic files are not associated with vlc or gimp.
I try to configure from system files of gnome but it is very complicated.

I want to make a file called file roller for Ubuntu 9.10. The folder has a file called install.sh and some others that are make.
I figure first I need to make a file and then run install.sh to install. But I don't know how to do this.

I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

I've switched from Ubuntu Hardy to Xubuntu using the terminal. The only problem is I can't find my WinXP partition any more. In Ubuntu I used to mount it by going to 'Places' menu and clicking the folder icon. It's now gone. I can't see the icon in Xubuntu.Been reading other threads trying to find out what to do, but I'm relatively new to Linux. I can't find the folder under /media either. Also, I don't know what types my partitions are. Is this important? I figured I could access my Win folder in Xubuntu the way I would in Ubuntu.

I am using xubuntu and there are a few types of files on website that instead of downloading and saving and then opening with emacs, I would rather when the radio button choice comes up say open with emacs. I am using xubuntu with xfce, and there is no line for a command to be entered as some ubuntu editions have. In the choice of changing the opening program from mousepad to something else, it says search and allows to navigate to find a program, but I cant find emacs anywhere not in etc/ or elsewhere. So where is its executable to direct the program chooser to?

I have already read the related threads but unfortunately, none of the solutions works/ applies to my problem: Having Ubuntu 10.10 as bootable DVD, I am trying to upgrade from Jaunty. When I do so however, after selcting "Install Ubuntu 10.10" in the installer menu I get the "unable to find medium containing live file system" error. I already installed grub2 and set acpi=off, my DVD is on primary master and, obviously boots as well.

This may be elementary to some, and prolly should to me. Quiet awhile ago I took off wine and deleted EVERYTHING wine from my /home. Now I want to try wine again, and I know it's installed, but it don't show up in applications. I've tried "edit menus > revert" but that don't work. I hear wine has made some progress and don't want to format my /home partition.

- open terminal and type gconf-editor - apps -> metacity -> global_keybinding and look for panel_main_menu - right click and edit, change value to "Super_L" without the quote.
