Ubuntu :: Create Folder',and Results In An Empty Folder Being Created On Desktop?

Oct 29, 2010

I have this nasty habit of refreshing desktop in a quick succession by right-clicking and selecting 'Refresh',on my XP system at office.(And,iam sure most of us do the same).With Ubuntu,if a right-click on desktop slowly and select 'align by...',it simulates the XP refresh action as explained above.But,if i perform the same action rapidly,it takes this first option from right-click context menu,which is 'Create Folder',and results in an empty folder being created on desktop.I tried double right-clicking and again it created an empty folder.Is there any workaround to handle this.I mean:Can the right-click context menu items be shuffled so that the 'Create Folder' option is moved from 1st place

Ubuntu :: Fstab Mount Results In Empty Folder?

May 1, 2011

I've recently installed Natty and now I've got a problem mounting two of my partitions via fstab. This is what my fstab file looks like:

Code:
proc /proc proc nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0
UUID=2ea65813-a227-405f-90d2-69598120808e / ext4 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
UUID=6e4f2339-b796-484e-9473-804b4db1531e /home ext4

[Code].....

I CAN mount them by first executing sudo umount -a (which tells me that the two partitions in question cannot be unmounted, because they are not mounted) and then sudo mount -a (which correctly mounts the two partitions). The mount does not work, if I omit the umount command.

General :: Desktop And .nautilus Folder Can't Be Created On Startup?

Feb 20, 2011

I changed some settings to see what will happen ( specifically to login with having to type my password) and now I can log in without a password. The problem is that I think that my password is still required, but now I can't use my laptop. Here is what happens log in (it doesn't ask for a password), then I get the error that it can't update ICEauthority, then I get the error "There is a problem with the configuration server./usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256)I also get the error that Nautilus can't create my Desktop folder and .nautilus folder.The problem is that I do not have another account, as in no root account. Each time I had to do administrative tasks ,like install software, etc, i used the cli with sudo and the command. If I wanted to do a few commands, I usually entered sudo -i

Ubuntu :: Banshee / All IPod 5G-music Is Displayed Under Video Folder / Music Folder Is Empty

Mar 20, 2011

At the moment I use Rhythmbox to acces my music and my iPod 5G. I would however like to use Banshee, but in Banshee all my iPod 5G-music is displayed under the video folder, while the music folder is empty. Any idea why?And also I have several albums with different artists on them, which gets spread out on i.e. 10 single albums even though they belong to the same album. This happens - as far as I can tell - after I've accessed the iPod from Rhythmbox (which is part of the reason why I wanna use Banshee).

Ubuntu :: Create Shortcuts To Desktop From A Folder On NAS Drive?

Like always Linux likes to make the easy tasks in life a little bit more difficult.

I have a NAS and Ubuntu 10.x I like to make a shortcut from a folder on the NAS drive to the desktop.

If i right click on the file and click 'Make Link' it tells me that the target does not support symbolic links.

So what can I do to make it happen?

is there maybe a way so mount the NAS like a fixed system disk? Because from the system disc I am able to make links.

Ubuntu :: Desktop Keeps Crashing When Renaming Folder Under Folder View Plasmoid?

Jun 17, 2011

Running kubuntu 11.04x64 w/ xrender and folder-view plasmoid:

I cannot view "open with" for directories on the desktop (but it is visible w/in dolphin file structure) and whenever I try to rename folders on the desktop it crashes and restarts (but the rename is successful and no open windows crash).

This glitch is reproducible under OpenGL and Xrender; had to switch over to xrender after a recent system update that seems to slow my computer to a crawl after a little time and kept it cause it seems much smoother and crisper.

Is there any way to fix these issues or is there an alternative to the folder-view plasmoid to view a folder content on the desktop that is more stable?

OpenSUSE :: Folder View Appl. Showing Desktop Folder - How To Add Icons

Jan 21, 2010

I have the Folder View applet on the Desktop viewing the Desktop Folder "~/Desktop"

Some shortcuts are outdated because of new installation of opensuse 11.2...

How can I add icons there in?

I can add icons to the Desktop and Taskbar but no in this Folder View on the Desktop (BTW: Is this Panel called "Folder View applet"?)

If I try to move a icon from Desktop to this Panel it is not moved in this panel it is placed behind this Panel...

And how can I get more than one of this panels for example one displays the Desktop folder other the home dir ...

Ubuntu :: System Shows Folder As Empty?

Jun 25, 2010

I have a compaq laptop with a hard disk separated in three partitions:Partition 1: Ubuntu 9.04Partition 2: Windows XPPartition 3: DataI usually work 95% of my time with Ubuntu, but store all my data in the data partition, so the information is always available no matter if I work under Windows or Ubuntu.The system has been working perfectly well for several months, but a couple of weeks ago I detected that some subfolders are shown as empty, but I know that there are several files on them (mostly pdf files document-scanned). When I use windows, all the files are shown correctly. In other folders, the system shows some files, but not all of them. (again mostly PDFs are not shown).My Ubuntu system is fully updated. The data partition is in NTFS format. Linux is EXT4. Windows is NTFS again.I would appreciate to know if any of you guys have detected a similar problem and if so, how to solve it.

Ubuntu :: Mount Into A Non Empty Folder / Achieve This?

Jul 19, 2010

I need to do the following things and googling didn't help much:

1.mount a volume(or windows share, whatever) into a non empty folder
2.both the original content of the folder and the content of the newly mounted volume is accessible
3.updated and newly created files can be written to the mounted volume or the original folder determined by something like a switch at mount time
4.if files with same names exist both in the folder and on the volume, then which file to be presented to the OS is determined by their last modified date/time.

any one can give a walk-through on how to achieve this?

General :: Finding Out Why/how A Folder Is Being Created

Jun 22, 2010

There's a folder on my Linux desktop which shouldn't exist. The first time I saw it, I thought I'd accidentally copied it from somewhere else, so I deleted it. Now it's back again. So it must have been automatically created by some process, but what can I do to figure out which program is creating it? I think it's likely that if I delete the folder it'll eventually be created again, so I should be able to catch this program in the act if anyone can suggest a technique for doing so. By the way, there are no files in this mystery folder, and its name is the same as another folder I created months ago to hold my personal documents, not something that a program would create to hold its own configuration files or the like.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Delete Or Empty .Trash-1000 Folder?

May 5, 2010

Straight to the problem on my [Ubuntu 9.10].I cannot delete or empty my .Trash-1000 folder on my flash drive. I tried changing permission with chmod but no way, I cannot empty the folder via the Ubuntu main trash option 'Empty Trash'. I read a bunch of threads but no way.Do you know a solution that works to this problem?Even further. Do you know a way to tell nautilus to avoid using that folder in my USB devices and use instead the normal trash folder on my system?

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Log In After Reboot - Empty Home Folder

Dec 19, 2010

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my machine. I logged in and installed a few programs like wine. Everything went fine until I rebooted. Now, after I log in, it gives me 2 error messages: One about how it could not update ICEAuthority or something

Another about how usr/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check2 returned status 256. Then, something else pops up about how Nautilus can't find or doesn't have permission to write to home/user/Desktop and ome/user/.nautilus. I tried booting in recovery mode and did a dir on /home, but nothing showed up, which makes me think that they somehow disappeared or they aren't being shown.

Ubuntu :: IPhone Won't Mount Anymore - Folder Is Empty

Mar 9, 2011

I have an iPhone 3GS that was mounting a couple of weeks ago but now does not. Looking in /mnt I see a folder for the phone but the folder is empty. Phone is listed when I perform

Code:
steveneddy@machine:~$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
[Code].....

Also of note - I took a couple of photos off of the phone at work using an XP machine - just browsing the folder in Explorer, no iTunes. I believe this is where the trouble started. I will monitor this thread the best I can through the week and weekend - I will do my best to post any terminal output or commands at the earliest possible opportunity.

Ubuntu :: Folder Appears Empty Even Though It Isn't. I/O Error On Ls Screenshots Included?

May 17, 2010

multiple issues started happening on a partition of mine. (probably whole installation and i haven't noticed since most of my files are on that partition)the most important one is that a certain folder appears to be empty even though it isn't. (screenshot "issue1")

the second issue is that files that are no longer on on the root folder of the partition (for example, lynx5.jpg on the screenshot "issue2") appear to be there. on "issue2" screenshot, it's the lynx image and the Gr_trees folder. removing them by deleting them doesn't work. moving there somewhere else makes them temporary gone - they reappear on reboot though. (the screenshots seem to be automatically converted to jpg when uploaded, if there is a problem you can find them here as well:[URL]..

edit : even though it's not the normal way to solve a problem : if reinstallation is definitely going to solve the problem, i have nothing against it.

Ubuntu :: Deleting Files Based On Number Created (or In Folder?)

Jul 21, 2011

I'm dipping my toes into some bash scripting and was wondering if there was a way to delete a file not based on how old it is, but rather how many other files are currently in the folder... or something to that effect....

What I'm doing is creating a script to back up a folder nightly. I'd like to keep a maximum of 3 backups. However in case the script for some reason fails to run one night (computer turned off possibly) I don't want to set the condition for deletion to be the date.

I know that if I run:

Code:
find /path/to/files* -mtime +3 -exec rm {} ;
that it will delete everything older than three days. -atime and -ctime don't seem to be what I"m looking for... is there another command I can use to achieve what I"m trying to?

Fedora :: Disappearing Files - Open A Folder And It's Empty ?

Dec 27, 2010

I've using RedHat/Fedora for years now, and every now and then I encounter the following situation :

I open a folder and it's empty. The folder was containing files and I'm 100% sure I didn't deleted them myself. Each time the folder is deep inside the hierarchy and is among other untouched folders. Sometimes it's a folder I never use, sometimes it's a folder I use almost everyday. The missing content is not large (a few regular files).

I'm currently running F13 but I've seen this behavior before on previous versions. This is kind of scary all my work is there and my backups are also done on a a linux backup server.

I'm puzzled, I cannot see any specificities to these folders, I had no crash or cold reboot, nothing I see can explain that. Could it be related to ext3?

Programming :: Know Which File Under The Folder Is Being Opened / Created For Writing?

Apr 23, 2010

My program need to monitor the foler to know which file under the folder is being opened/created for writing. I add the folder into watch list using inotify_add_watch, when a file -- say 'AA' -- is created, I'll get the event through read api call. But the inotify_event only have file name 'AA' and a event mask. these parameters can't help me to know how the 'AA' is created/openned. So I have to scan the /proc folder to get to know how is 'AA' created/openned. I don't think this is a efficient way, especially if there are lots of files are openned/created in a short time span.
