Ubuntu :: Cannot Delete A Shortcut On Desktop?
Jan 25, 2011
I'm having this problem when i want to delete an icon on my desktop.The icon won't allow me to delete it as it will show error "The specified location is not supported. I attached a screenshot of my desktop. The file that i want to delete is "g on 192.168.0.182.volume". It was a link to my shared network.I've tried delete via terminal but when i viewed my desktop using "ls -a" , the file didn't show up.Or maybe easy solution is my removing my gnome-desktop

I thought it would be a great idea to make Ctrl+Alt+Del a keyboard shortcut for the System Monitor (counterpart of Windows Task Manager). (So it wasn't really accidental)I want to revert to default, how do I do that?

I accidentally changed a keyboard shortcut in GNOME to the "delete" key. I changed the shortcut back, but now my delete key is disabled.

I have been trying to make a shortcut to my downloads folder on my desktop but I only seem to be able to create "link to downloads" folder. I thought this was just the same thing as a shortcut but when I run some programs from the folder they do not work correctly. They only work from the real 'downloads' folder and not the 'link to' folder

I just installed Kubuntu with my ubuntu install via Synaptic, just to try it out, and so far it's working great, except for one thing: I have no idea how to make a desktop internet shortcut in Rekonq (The default web browser), and I've tried opening a shortcut I made in Firefox, but it opens it Kate! And when I changed what to open it with to Rekonq, I just got an error page in Rekonq!

I have been trying to active the shortcut <Super>+D to minimize all active windows and show desktop. Compiz is already install on my system,that I have tried all possible combinations of "show desktop" functionality in Compiz and Gnome itself. However, whenever I use the shortcut, it activates(maximize) one window first, and it shows desktop if I use the shortcut second time. Actually same thing happens when I press the "show desktop" button on the panel as well

I am using Lubuntu 10.10 and have installed my application that I need. What I need is a link to the desktop that will execute the program from the /usr/share/test directory. When I execute the program I need to use "Sudo" in order to run in. how would I add a symbolic link the desktop with the appropriate permission to run the executable without compromising security. I tried everything but cannot get it to execute under ubuntu:
PHP Code:

I'm using Zorin OS 4 Lite, which is a variant of Lubuntu 10.10. For some unknown reason, the desktop shortcut on PCManFM is pointing to my home folder, so I have all my personal files covering my Desktop (kind of annoying to be honest ). And when I try to add a shortcut to the Desktop it adds it to my home folder instead. Seems like there's some kind of hard link between the Desktop shortcut in PCManFM menu and my home folder. However, I can't find where it is or how to fix this. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix this?

using the command ln -s ~/Desktop ~/.local/share/Trash I get this message.ln: creating symbolic link `/home/denish/.local/share/Trash': File exists But the link isn't in my desktop. So I tried accessing the Trash folder using cd. I cd into ~/.local/share then try the following command.cd Trash I get this message. bash: cd: Trash: No such file or directory When I type ls in the share folder I get the following.
gsettings-data-convert gvfs-metadata Trash
So the trash folder is in there but i can't access it. Why? Also I want a computer shortcut in my desktop like in windows where I can access all the folders from.

When ctrl alt d or the icon on the bottom left corner is pressed, it sometimes doesn't show the desktop and instead restores hidden windows. Is there a way to access the desktop directly, without only one shortcut ? I was also wondering how useful are these hidden windows (sometimes, the icon in the application bar is bar after being idle for a while).

I am attempting to recreate terminal commands with a Fedora desktop launcher shortcut to start x360mediaserve. The commands in the terminal work as below:
Code:
cd /opt/x360mediaserve-0.0.2
./start 192.168.2.126
But attempting to run from a desktop launcher, it doesn't work, with the command line:
Code:
sudo /opt/x360mediaserve-0.0.2/start 192.168.2.126
I have also attempted to create a shell script, from which to launch via desktop launcher:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
cd /opt/x360mediaserve-0.0.2
./start 192.168.2.126
which also doesn't work.

This should be simple, but I just don't see it. KDE 4 desktopI have an application located in /usr/Kompozer that I'd like to add a shortcut to on my desktop. It's not on the menu. Runs fine from the command line. Right clicking on desktop doesn't seem to have what I need. I tried using Dolphin file manager, but still no joy. Can copy, but again can't paste a shortcut on the desktop... or so it seems.

I installed matlab for linux via the installer. When I type into the terminal as normal user:
Code:
matlab
the program starts perfectly fine. I want now a click-able icon on the desktop (KDE3.5). So when I produce the application shortcut, no matter how I do define the command, it will not start. I did put Command: matlab (tried also matlab glnx86) I joined in advanced: start in terminal (but it does not work either) I did join the complete and correct path...... Somehow....I do not understand why it starts from the console in user-mode without problems with the command but not while using a shortcut.

In (Gnome) Ubuntu there is a keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+(Up|Down|Left|Right) that allows the user to quickly move a window from one workspace to another. I've been looking for a similar way to accomplish this in (KDE) Kubuntu. I know that you can right-click on a window in the Task Manager and use "To Desktop" to move a window, but I'm just curious if the same thing can be accomplished with the keyboard.

I installed opera10 and I can start it from a shell script from the opera folder but when i try to make a desktop shortcut it does not work. Either from xfce or by right clicking and choosing to send it to the desktop as a shortcut.
I did not install opera system wide, only under one user. Do I need to set some kind of path or link or something?

I'm trying to create a web shortcut (desktop file) by dragging the icon from the Firefox address bar to a Thunar folder or desktop. This worked with older versions of Thunar and Firefox, but now that I'm running Xubuntu Natty (Firefox 5 and Thunar 1.2.1) it fails. Depending on the web site I try, it either creates a file containing the page's html instead of creating a .desktop shortcut file, or fails to create any file at all.

I removed pulseaudio save for the libs, and now I can't lock down my desktop with ctrl+alt+l anymore. I can still lock the system with the menu (System > Lock Screen), but it's kind of annoying. Removing pulseaudio has cleared up all of my mplayer stutter issues, but I would like to be able to use the keyboard shortcut keys. Here's the command I used to strip out pulseaudio:
rpm -e --nodeps alsa-plugins-pulseaudio-1.0.18-3.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-bluetooth-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-utils-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-gconf-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 xine-lib-pulseaudio-1.1.16.3-2.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-libs-glib2-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 pulseaudio-module-x11-0.9.15-14.fc11.i586 gnome-bluetooth-2.27.5-1.fc11.i586 bluez-4.37-2.fc11.i586
