My brother runs storage server over our LAN,I connect to it via smb.(I'm not sure if it's called Samba or just pronounced that way) Rather than hitting ctrl+l in a file browser window, and typing smb://000.000.0.000/drivename each time, I'd like to know how I can add a launcher to the gnome panel which will do that for me I know this is possible, because I have done it before, I just forget how. I was going to try creating a launcher application in terminal, but I'm not sure what code to use.
Gnome 2.30.0 (Ubuntu 10.04) I wish to create a launcher to a particular subdirectory.- right click on Panel and select Add to Panel- choose Custom Application Launcher- Set Type to Location- input desired NameNext to the Location text box is a Browse... button. I would expect to be able to browse to the subdirectory which I wish to access with my launcher. However, the Browse... button brings up a window which is titled "Choose a file..." and which will only "Open" a file, not a subdirectory.Is this a bug I should report or just an example of poor user interface design? If the latter, is the issue with the Create Launcher program (for bringing up a file locater) or with the File Locater program (which should have the option of selecting a location as well as a file?
On Xubuntu, I right click something like I did on Ubuntu, to add to panel.. It just clicks the program. There is NO options when I right click a program in Applications. It's frustrating.. re's an incredibly unnecessary way that is different than Ubuntu to put an application to my panel.
I accidentally removed my little speaker (volume control) and internet buttons from my launch panel. I can't seem to figure how to put them back. They are not listed in the 'Add to panel' right click option.
I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 and Samba 3.4. I've shared a folder and have accessed the share from a Windows 7 client. However, I've struggled to configure the share and folder so that the Win7 client can create files and/or folders in the share. Kept getting Permission Denied errors. Finally, (using Webmin) I set the permissions on the file folder so that "Other" had write access. I don't understand why this was necessary (and how unsecure this is). I already had the write access checkbox ticked for "User" but it wasn't enough.

I upgraded to 11.04 already. Everything worked fine but after a few reboots suddenly the launcher and the top & bottom panel have disappeared. Anyone an idea how to solve this?
I just updated from 10.10 to 11.04 about an hour ago and I've already managed to crash it. (currently running from my old 10.04 Live CD) the first restart from the update worked fine. i had a look around and tried to orientate myself to the new dash etc. this is where the problem comes in. All i did was open the control center and have a look at the new Unity and Gnome 3 settings etc. My computer froze and so i had to force shutdown and restart.
I then discover my two main problems. - the new grub menu/splash screen is displaying at too high a frequency for my monitor to display (if i wait long enough it loads 11.04's login screen by default.) - upon login, all i can see is my desktop background and my cairo dock from 10.10 but nothing else. (no panel or app launcher side bar)
Before upgrade to 11.04, I can drag and drop some *bin or *sh file to taskbar as quick launcher. So, I want to drag these applications to the launcher panel in ubuntu 11.04, but it's rejected. I searched and only found that I can drag an application from app list to the launcher instead of.
I'm running xfce and I'm trying to create a launcher on the panel that will open a document directly. Is there any way to do this? Do I just need the way to open that document from a terminal?
This question concerns the system panel/launcher panel / the panel with the launcher that normally appears across the top or bottom of the screen. The default system panel layout was nice, but, I screwed it up by accidentally deleting the task manager. I put the task manager back but now my clock & system tray are to the left of the task manager, and, I can't just drag things around. Is there a trick to organizing the widgets on this panel or is it broken? Every time I try to move something, it basically ignores me and adds it to the right of everything else.
I have a program which launches by a command but the command is not valid if i dont cd/ to the location of it first, is it possible to make the lancher (terminal) first go; cd /home/user/x then the program?
How do I automate the creation of a launcher from a bash script?I can easily create my launcher by drag and drop or right-clicking on the menu panel, but I would like to fully automate this from a bash script.I suppose it is a Gnome question rather than a general Ubuntu question, but all searches typically ends explaining how to create a launcher that runs a bash script.
I decided to try and find a home inventory application. I found one called "Attic Manager" that works in Ubuntu. [URL]
The instructions are to run it from the terminal. That's ok for once and a while, but a pain if used regularly. So I tried to set up a launcher for it. I couldn't seem to get it to work. In the command, I simply put in the path and file name, but can't seem to get it to work.
I am wondering how to create a launcher with 2 functions in Ubuntu 10.04. The functions I want are both in terminal, and I want them executed in this order:
# sync # echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
The echo 3 command requires root privileges to run, and I haven't figured out how to do that yet. I am brand new in ubuntu, and have only been using it for about 2 weeks. The reason behind this is that I want a launcher in the bar at the top of the screen that I can click periodically to dump my ram cache, since I have 4 gb of ram, and do not see the point of using 100 percent of that when just sitting on the desktop.
I have a programme known as OpenRep which can be launched by executing the file named OpenRep.jar by OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime programme This programme can also be launched through terminal by the command
Code:
java -jar OpenRep.jar
The location of the programme is in my Home folder. Well I would like to create a launcher for that programme.
Now, the reason I have to delete the .ini file, is for some reason the file gets corrupted every time (it's a well known problem, from what I've read.) and I can't start up the program until it's removed. Now, it works fine in Terminal, but when I run it through my Launcher icon, it does nothing.
im trying to create a launcher for flatout 2 and i dont know how. I have tried every thing and it ether comes up with a error or doesn't start or do any thing at all. My problem is that flatout 2 needs to load files from its whole folder. Other wise i would have simply made a launcher of the .EXE but it comes up with a error saying its missing files.
Im trying to create a launcher within Fedora. The path I need to excute is "python /opt/GNS3/gns3". Ive added this to the launcher but nothing happens.
To launch easy tether I need to open 2 terminals and type some command, not all that hard, but I can I do this with one launcher? "Open Terminal and run "easytether enumerate", then "easytether connect". Once it says the connection is established, do not stop the running "easytether connect", open another Terminal and run "sudo dhclient easytether0". "
I am having trouble creating a desktop launcher icon for an application that needs to run in terminal mode and is run with "mono". After creating the launcher on the desktop it launches the terminal window and then gives the error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal", and the terminal window is blank. Here are the steps I use to launch the application in a many step process. click on applications/system tools/terminal then in the terminal window I type, cd /var/opensim/Test/bin mono OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe The above steps work just fine and the instance of the application runs just fine, but it is rather tedious to enter in all that everytime I want to run the application.
1 - place a desktop icon on my desktop to launch the application,
2 - Launch this application when I reboot Fedora so it starts automatically whenever I boot.
The way I created the desktop launcher was to right click on the desktop and select create launcher. I selected "application in terminal" and when I entered in the command line, I added "mono" to the command after navigating to the place the application was with the correct path. Here is the actual command line that is in the launcher that throws the error message.
