Whenever I try to open a folder, it opens it in Gimp. Can anyone help? Here is the message I get when I try to open a folder: Opening failed: Is a directory. I tried uninstalling Gimp. I got this: Failed to execute default File ManagerFailed to execute child process "gimp" (No such file or directory)
That's basically all I know. I run a KDE desktop and have not recently upgraded. However, for some odd reason, Gimp just won't come up. I see the bouncy Gimp icon next to my cursor and I see a task manager icon at the bottom of my screen but after about 15 seconds, the icon leaves and nothing ever happens. I am a web designer and Gimp is a must have! I'm sorry I don't really have any more details for you - that's all I know. Is there something that I could look for that may be messing up Gimp?
Somewhere along the line I have managed to get the below error when loading a jpeg in the gimp (either with 'open with' on context menu or directly)Running as an unprivileged user
Code:
Calling error for procedure 'file-jpeg-load':
Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' not found Opening '/home/fortyfourgalena/Desktop/photos/liza/inkosanalodge_20061201/20061201_171151_PC010620.jpg' failed: Procedure 'file-jpeg-load' not found

This happens on a system running 10.04 / 64-bit. As I seem to recall a recent gimp update (might be wrong), I checked a 32-bit 10.04 laptop and it does not show the behavior. For information: the 64-bit system has some additional stuff installed for image processing (ufraw and darktable) but I have been using this already for a while without issues. The other main change on this 64-bit system before I noticed the problem was the installation of a geforce 8400 video card including the 'nomodeset' option in grub and install of the latest driver from the nvidia website. verify that the gimp on a 64-bit system is still functioning.Further a 'repair' from within synaptic throws the following error
Code:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/gimp_2.6.8-2ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb: subprocess dpkg-deb --fsys-tarfile returned error exit status 2
Note: I found some messages regarding this problem on the web but they were referring to older kernels (2.6.8); and people reverted back to an even older kernel. And yes, there have been a recent kernel upgrade.
I hope this is in the right spot, and I have searched but haven't been able to find anything to help me out.
I installed GIMP recently, it worked for awhile, but now it will not open up even after the 'Starting GIMP...' appears. That goes and nothing happens. I've tried un-installing and installing via the software centre as well as via the terminal with no success. Will be happy to go through steps again if someone gives me some guidance.
I'm using Lucid and I installed Gimp. When I open it, the thing on the panel shows up saying Gimp is starting, but then it disappears and the window never comes up. When I type gimp in the terminal, it says "gimp: error while loading shared libraries: libgimpwidgets-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I can't find a package starting with libgimpwidgets in Synaptic. I added "[URL]" to my /etc/apt/sources.list because I saw something about installing Gimp in Lucid that said to do that, but it hasn't helped. I imagine I just need to get this package from somewhere, but I don't know where.
I can't open any files such as .png's or .jpg's in gimp. How can I change this. I installed it via pacman. I don't know if this helps, but I'm running kde with arch. I'm guessing I need to add the path of libpng to the plugins section. What should I do?
I'm trying to open jpeg attachments in Thunderbird in Fedora 13, by choosing Gimp 2.6. I browse to Gimp in /etc and there are a number of files in the folder.
Could you please help with the correct path to Gimp to open the attachment jpegs as I am unable to open them at present.
I installed evince on my Arch Linux system as a PDF reader, and everything was fine for a while. And then I installed GIMP. Since then, PDF files have been opening in GIMP. I've tried reinstalling evince, I've tried editing ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list , I've tried editing /usr/share/applications/mimeinfo.cache, but PDF files still open in GIMP by default.
If you had Gimp 2.6 (with gimp-plugin-registry installed) and installed Gimp 2.7 to try its new goodies, but Layer Effects are not showing, and when executing "gimp" from console you get these *nasty* errors:
Code: This is a development version of GIMP. Debug messages may appear here. gimp-user-install: migrating from /home/user/.gimp-2.6 Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/gimp/2.0/plug-ins/layerfx.py", line 23, in <module> import gimp, gimpplugin, math ImportError: No module named gimp .....
If you haven't install the 2.7 version yet. Before upgrading, backup "python" directory and then just restore it after installing 2.7.
Some of you may have had with issues after installing GIMP on Lucid Lynx 10.04. Which may be directly related to "gimp-help-en", which could prevent you from installing other applications and preforming system tasks. If so, use this method to fix it.
Process: (Terminal > $ sudo apt-get install gimp)
1. After installing Gimp go to the terminal:
2. Then load up the language support application:
3. Then it will ask you to install the "gimp-help-en", confirm it.
4. Fix'd
I think this issue is directly linked to a systems with multiple languages, but I haven't been able to test this theory out yet.
when I click on any folder under places. for example if I click on my home folder or video folder. Or any folder under places. I get a document viewer message in Red. Saying "Unable to open document" "cant open directory" how I can fix this?? im on 11.04
I am unable to open folders like Home,Desktop,Documents,Music .. the ones listed in the file menu. These folders can be opened individually but not through run command.
I'm using Image Viewer to go through a bunch of pictures and most of them need small fixes which I'm doing in GIMP. At the moment, I'm going through the right-click menu to open them in GIMP, but I wondered if there was an easy way to add a keyboard shortcut to do this. Think I figured out how to make a keyboard shortcut to open GIMP in general, but not sure how to do "Open With"
how I can gain access to folder in Ubuntus 9.10 terminal. when I use a command like ./ Documents or ~/ Documents The terminal only states that "There is a folder named Documents" but never lets me enter. I can create a folder using the mkdir command and I can navigate that folder as long as that terminal session is active. When I close out the terminal and try to reopen it denies acces the same way as mentioined above. Do I need to set some type of access permissions or?
I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, and I can't open any folders. Nor can I put any files onto my desktop. I read on another thread that you should try reinstalling Nautilus, so I did that, and nothing changed. I also tried to open a folder in the Terminal, in this case the downloads folder, and I got this.
(nautilus:2172): Eel-CRITICAL **: eel_preferences_get_boolean: assertion `preferences_is_initialized ()' failed Initializing nautilus-gdu extension ** (nautilus:2172): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'UploadFinished' ** (nautilus:2172): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'DownloadFinished'
I accidently bumped keys whilst in a folder and it changed the view to a "Split/Shared" view where I can have two different folders open at the same time. How do I change it back to just the single folder? I can upload a Screen Shot if needed.
Something very strange has happened to my system (Lucid / Gnome / 64 bit): when I try to open a location from Gnome Menu, message pops up saying: "Can't open location [file:///...]. No program is registered to open this type of file." Or something in this vein, I'm translating the message from Polish. So I can't open locations via the main menu, but the bookmarks work fine in an open Nautilus window. It looks like the system doesn't know it should open a location with Nautilus... I looked through file associations in Ubuntu Tweak, but couldn't find anything corresponding to "file:///..." or anything resembling opening a location (I'm not exactly a Linux guru). Also, the folder shortcuts in Cairo-Dock don't work, the same goes for the FolderView screenlets. However, in the MainMenu screenlet, the location shortcuts do work. There has to be some obvious explanation of this anomaly, but I lack a deeper knowledge of the system to work it out. I can't say at which point it started exactly, I think it was around the time I started dragging extra shortcuts to the Cairo-Dock shortcuts applet, but that may be a coincidence.
When I need to view my desktop, or other folders, I usually go up to Places>Desktop. Don't know why buy when I turned my computer on today and I tried it, it would open firefox showing the files instead and it is very annoying.
Whenever I try to open a folder from my places menu, xterm opens for a moment with the error:xterm: could not exec /home/username/Music: Permission denied
I rely heavily on Gnome-Do to open folders in Nautilus.
This worked just fine in Ubuntu Desktop. However, in Openbox it opens folders in Chromium.
This is annoying for two reasons:
One, obviously i would like to view the selected folders in Nautilus.
And, two, i would like to set Firefox 4 as the browser of choice when opening anything via Gnome-Do. It is set as my browser of choice in Preferred Applications.
I have searched for configuration files, but see no entry i could modify, and would not know where to begin writing my own commands.
I am sure many people must use Gnome-Do in Openbox. If you are one of them, did you encounter similar issues? If so, how did you fix them?
i'm having a problem with my bottom panel, after changing from ubuntu 9.10 to ubuntu lucid lynx it does'nt display the programs or folders open on the system
Everything was going fine until about an hour ago. I havnt changed any settings on the computer. I can't open any folders, they all give a "File not found" error. Also some pics in Firefox have inverted colors. I doubt they are related though. Im running 10.10 and have been for about 2 weeks. I am completely new to linux prior to downloading this.
Is there any cmd to open file in .rar format or we have to download softwares for that to open? Many softwares are shown in the web but I require is there any cmd ro open rar format?
I have the problem that when I want to open a folder in Places, mplayer opens and tells me that it cannot open that particular folder. The only place where this does not happen is when I click on the "Computer" folder.Can someone please help me out with this problem? I found all sorts of forums but seeing that I am not really a computer genius;
Nautilis is very good at hiding or showing 'hidden' files and folders (names starting with .) but using any other program to save or open a file, I have to scroll through reams of hidden to my storage folders. Is there a way to make the save and open dialogs 'hide' the 'hidden' files? Is it different for different programs?
Anybody know why fedora 14 is so slow open partitions on same the hard disc as the OS and other hard discs. Is there a problem with Nautilus, the kernel or the nvidia driver or something else? On average it takes me 10-15 seconds to open a new partition in nautilus.The system as it stands is not up to scratch and i am sorry to say it is really unusable. Do i hang in there for a while and hope for a fix or do i go back to fedora 13?
I've recently upgraded to 11.04.Till now, I could select an option to make the open folders on shutdown, to restore on startup.There was an option to restore running applications
