Ubuntu :: Folders Opening With Wrong Application?

May 27, 2011

Ubuntu 11.04
Gnome 2.32.1

Weird little problem. I've bookmarked several network locations but when I try to open them, for some reason the Decibel Audio Player application opens. And if I use the "Connect to Server", it opens Brasero.

Ubuntu :: Opening And Viewing Folders - Error 255

Feb 17, 2011

I switched to ubuntu in 2008 dual booting it with windows vista. I loved ubuntu but I began to run into a few issues and eventually went to windows only for a while. Well I am back into it as of november of 2010 since my windows Os was just ticking me off. I absolutely LOVE linux but I've run into the exact same issues I had before. The most pressing issue at the moment is the fact that for some reason when I click on anything in "places" such as documents, music, etc. nothing happens. This includes clicking on the HD on the desktop. I click and then menu goes away as if its going to open the folder but it doesn't. Going to computer works and I can go from there but I want to know why this has happened seemingly out of the blue and happened both times I installed ubuntu? When I typed sudo nautilus into terminal I get the following:

Code:
xavier@xavier-Vostro1510:~$ sudo nautilus
[sudo] password for xavier:
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension
** (nautilus:19375): WARNING **: Failed to get the current CK session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.GeneralError: Unable to lookup session information for process '19375'

(nautilus:19375): GConf-CRITICAL **: gconf_value_free: assertion `value != NULL' failed
Nautilus-Share-Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare: cannot open usershare directory /var/lib/samba/usershares. Error No such file or directory. Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

I am not sure exactly what this means but maybe it is a clue. I am actually planning on reinstalling linux at some point because I am dual booting and running out of room so I am gonna kick windows to the curb (it wont load up anyway) but I want to resolve this since its happened twice and will again i am sure.

OpenSUSE :: Folders Not Opening On Desktop

May 30, 2010

The other day Home folder on desktop didn't work, I clicked on it and mouse icon would just load and load, but it didn't open it, i had to go to Menu -> Places -> Home to open it. I created my own shortcut to Home and didn't pay too much attention to it. But today I connected my phone via USB and folders mounted on desktop and I got the same behavior, when I click on it, the whole desktop icons disappear and reload but folder doesn't open. And when I go to network, the same thing happens. I recently reinstalled my openSuse, could it be that it took the settings or something from the old installation?

Ubuntu :: Startup Application Opening Behind Task Bars?

May 11, 2011

im building a small wallboard machine, using ubuntu 10.10 as 11.4 refuses to load correctly on any of my spare machines.but, anyway, thats not the issue, ive installed chromium-browser, and added it to the startup applications with

Code:

chromium-browser -kiosk http://wallboard
where http://wallboard is the wallboard info thats being displayed.

that works, BUT the browser is opening BEHIND the top 'menu' bar, and the bottom 'task' bar, which obviously, is not what i want. how do i set it to either hide these 'bars' or open the browser in front of them like it does if i manually run the command from a terminal?

Ubuntu :: Error - Cannot Open Display - 0 - When Opening Any GTK Application From The Terminal

May 13, 2011

For awhile I have had this issue with the command line and every time I try to complete any command that requires GTK graphics, It always returns the error "Error: cannot open display: 0:" The "EXPORT display" command that I normally use to fix this issue is not working. The only issue that I can think might be the cause for this could be my upgrade to natty (which was in fact a clean installation), or when I edited plymouth so that the startup and shutdown animations would match my laptop's native resolution (by the way I would also appreciate it if I could do the same with the startup animation, only the shutdown really works). If anybody know how I could resolve this issue I would greatly appreciate it. Oh and for specifics on my machine, I am using an ASUS N82 with an NVIDIA GEFORCE GT335M graphics card, running Ubuntu 11.04.

Ubuntu :: Disable "opening Application X" Notification In Gnome Task Panel?

Oct 15, 2010

How can I disable that, please?
Everytime I start an app, the task panel will for a while show a new "dummy" entry "Opening Application X", which is extremely annoying and makes no sense, since I know I'm opening it, because I just clicked on it myself.

Ubuntu :: Opening Downloads In Firefox Brings Up "Launch Application" Dialog

Sep 1, 2011

I had recently reinstalled Kubuntu after breaking it for the n-th time and downloads will no longer open from the Downloads window of Firefox. Instead, it brings up a dialog with the title Launch Application and asks me which application I should open it with. This seems to happen all of the file formats I have tried; namely pdf, zip, deb, and png. This did not happen from before the reinstallation.

Ubuntu :: Hiding Folders Inside Of Shared Folders?

Mar 27, 2010

I am setting up a lubuntu nas with all of my music, movies, etc on it. I want to give my kids access to my mp3 directory, so I can move all of the kid appropiate music into the root of my mp3 dir, in the same order I have all of my music sorted. Under the Music folder, I have them sorted, in folders, by letter. So A, B, C, D, etc... Now, in those folders are the respective artists. So where there may be something approipate in the P folder (say, Paramore), there is something inapproipate (say, Pantera)Now, when the kids go to the P folder, I don't want them to even see the Pantera folder. I just want them to see the Paramore folder. I tried a test using chmod 711 and chmod 700 on a directory with a test user, and the user can't access the directory, but can still see it

Ubuntu :: Linking Content Of Windows Folders To Folders

Mar 31, 2010

The Problem was I wanted to open my /home/Pictures folder and have it display the contents of the My Pictures folder in my windows partition. This way I could have ubuntu and xp using the same set of music files, picture files, etc. I was having a very hard time understanding how to get from here to there because I'm such a newbie. However I have discovered how to do it and I wanted to post it, in hopes it will make things easier for other newbies.This allows me to see every TYPE of document in /dev/sda8/Media (windows My Documents folder) without having to see any of the folders (My Music, My Pictures, etc).

General :: Application Called Impact - Paths In Java Application ?

Apr 14, 2010

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...

[url]

I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,

Code:

This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.

Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )

My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,

Code:

Code:

I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from

Code:

Code:

no avail,

Code:

even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...

I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...

Software :: Segfault In Application / But No Core Or Application Failure

Feb 19, 2009

I am trying to troubleshoot an application that is generating several segfaults with an error 14, but the application is not crashing.The program continues to run. I would assume I can connect to a running process to debug it, but I'm not sure what to gather. The program has several background processes associated with it so I'm sure I'll need to attach to the actual internal process. Does anyone have any experience in this to offer some insight?
