Ubuntu :: Change Default For Opening Mounted Volumes In Unity Launcher?
Apr 29, 2011
I automount two NTFS volumes on login. These display in both the desktop and the Unity launcher.
The first time I clicked one of them in the Unity launcher, it asked if I wanted to use Nautilus or Thunar. I chose Thunar.
Now, when I open the volumes in the Unity launcher, it always uses Thunar. When I open the volumes on my desktop, it always uses Nautilus.
Is there any way to standardize these, so that I use either Thunar or Nautilus, but not both? And how do I switch back and forth? Where can I reset the Unity launcher to use Nautilus again?

I restart my laptop (running Ubuntu 11.04) my unity launcher reverts back to default! I have to reorganize and remove and add the apps I want on the unity bar/launchpad.

I have played a little of the compize config. Apparently I change something in the setting of the unity launcher. What happen now is that when I resize a windows to be on all screen, I seen big thick black line where the unity launcher is suppose to be. When I move the mouse toward the left side I see again the unity launcher.
Is there anyway to restart compize to default setting. Or at least how can I set it back that I wont see that ugly line.

Do not know yet if unity is something for me, but I will find out .I tried to change the keyboard shortcut for the launcher (default Alt-F2).I did this by changing it in ccsm, under "unity plugin"-"Key to execute a command".

I just started the latest Ubuntu and like Unity a lot but I have a question about the application launcher.I have added a few applications to this launcher but the problem is it now takes up more than the screen. It seems if I scroll through it I can have it scroll down to use more applications.What I'd like to do is either make the application icons smaller so that they can all fit on the screen without me having to scroll or either make it wider so that there can be two vertical rows of application icons.Are there any options to do this or make any other changes to the application launcher?

I've installed Office 2007 under wine, and would like to add launchers for Word, Excel, etc to the Unity launcher bar.
So, I've created a launcher on the Desktop that will run Word with wine. I've changed the icon to the Word Icon and everything works great from the desktop. If I drag that launcher to the Unity bar, it adds it, but changes the icon to the springboard default icon that new launchers use. Please see attached picture.
As a side note, I am really starting to like Unity (puts on flamesuit), but it seems very easy to break the install of 11.04. I've had to reinstall 4 times now.

For some reason the general launcher button (+ in circle) in the unity menu has disappeared. I do not know how to restore it. Which means I have great problems to start al apps that are not standard in the menu.

behavior in 9.04:plugged in a disk, mounted it and it as readable to the world.this is intended because it is shared via samba.behavior in 10.04:the disks have 700, meaning, they are not readable by samba.this is a problem.this is the best solution I've found so far:http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-u.../msg10951.htmlexcept, that the mentioned means to fix this are gone.(gconf-editor -> ..., storage and preferences -> removable media)after 3 hours of googleing and reading I'm rather upset about this bug.so please, if you are thinking of suggesting fixed entries in the fstab or anything else that will not work with every media that is plugged into this box, just close this tab.

I have this problem, however the solution given there is outdated- There is no such menu entry (I tried to see if it was disabled, but it wasn't in the menu editor either).
So how would I do this in Karmic?
Edit: I found it. As a reference: Open Nautilus, go to Edit-> Preferences -> "Media" tab -> Photos -> Your choice.

Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

I'm on OS X and mount a network share from my Windows XP machine. Files by default have the rwx (700) permissions. What OS X option I need to change, that the files will have rw (600) permission?
Maybe this question also applies for Linux mounting a Windows network share.

How do you access preferences for changing size of the launcher bar or icon size, etc? I looked through system settings and could not find it.

I have a bit unusual request.
There are three partitions on my hard drive. Two of them were assigned to mount points / and /home during system installation. The third one was left intact.
After installation the first two partitions were automatically integrated into directory tree and there was a shortcut on the Nautilus sidebar for the third one. Then, I registered the third partition in /etc/fstab for automounting at /home/user/Data directory. For now it works fine, the volume is mounted on startup. But I still have the shortcut to this volume in Nautilus sidebar and icon on my Desktop.
I am interested, if it is possible to disable showing of this items on Desktop and in Nautilus to make the third partition look like registered at system setup time.

I am looking for such a tool, very much like the one that is on Windows 7, where you can basically with one glance see how much of a volume is occupied (graphical bar) and that for all mounted volumes. I have been looking for this, but so far I have not found it.Also, important: that it is auto updated. So that it is not like a report that was generated and then does not change anymore, but a live thing

I made a shell script to launch dr. java that works fine, but when I try to make it a launcher, it does nothing. This is the script:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
java -jar drjava-stable-20100913-r5287.jar;
Why is the launcher being difficult?

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04In 10.10, Nautilus showed all my drives/partitions automatically. The same goes for 11.04, but... all the drives/partitions are also shown in the launcher.Because it gets a bit crowded on the left side, I want to get rid of those drive-icons.I can only open them, not remove them from the launcher, except my external drive (safely remove), but than it also disappears from Nautilus Is there any (easy) way to remove those drives?

When Ubuntu 11.04 beta appeared I've read an article describing the way to move Unity Launcher to the bottom of the screen by editing some config files. Now I've upgraded to 11.04 and can't find the article anywhere.

Recently upgraded to 11.04, and I am happy with the intent but unhappy with the bugs.
I have a specific problem at the moment, the unity launcher will not auto-hide, which means I cannot access the left side of any application (such as the back button for instance). Does anyone know of a fix?
A restart fixes the problem, but If I don't want to do that then I have to set the auto-hide option in Compiz to never, so that application windows stop at the launcher, and don't dissapear underneath. (setting back to other auto-hide options doesn't work)

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and have come across a strange bug, where after using Ubuntu for a while, the launcher suddenly appears and will not hide. This occurs when my mouse is no where near the launcher. I have a duel screen display.
This is very annoying as the launcher appears above the windows I am working on as shown in the screenshot:

I have tried changing the launcher hide options in ccsm but it doesn't seem to make any difference. At the moment it is set to autohide.

I upgraded to 11.04. A launcher I had created before the upgrade shows up in the dock and works nicely... but I want to change what it does.
[URL]
says to edit the .desktop file. Fine, but there ought to be a way to do it with the gui, shouldn't there?
[URL]
suggests, after reading between the lines, that you can only edit launchers in the gui when they're not in the dock; the dock is only for pinning launchers that exist elsewhere.
But I don't know where my launcher file is, it's certainly not on the desktop, since I removed it from there before upgrading.
I see that in the new world, deleting a launcher from the desktop removes it from the dock, too.
I am very sad that I can't have launchers on the dock without having them on the desktop, and that there's no way to edit launchers from the dock.
I am aware of the "switch back to classic and stop using unity" workaround.

I love this unity launcher panel on the left. but i think it's taking too much valuable space on my small screen so i set up a super small app dock with everything i use but i can't seem to completely hide this unity launcher the only options i find in CCSM are "always show" "autohide" and two other things i can't seem to understand; anw i haven't found a "Always hide". is there a way to do that ?

I installed Natty Narwhal on a brand new Ideapad Z570 and everything worked out of the box except wifi for which I had to blacklist acer_wmi.
I installed Google Chrome and replaced firefox with chrome in the launcher. So everything works fine until I reboot. Firefox is back. I saw this a couple of times so I though why not just get rid of firefox. Unfortunately now there's nothing in place of firefox.
I tried unity --reset but that just shows a bunch of errors. I have dconf-tools and libdconf0 installed.

I was just wondering how I could reorder/drag n drop/move the unity-2d (qt version) icons in ubuntu 10.10, like you would in the mutter version unity. I can move the launcher up and down, I just can't pull them off the launcher and drag them around. Is this a bug or has it just not been implemented yet? Other than this, I love unity 2d and can't wait for the compiz-based unity 3D to use in 11.04
