Ubuntu :: Gdm Using Incorrect Desktop Icons Folder / Correct This?

Feb 23, 2010

I mistakenly moved the /home/user/Desktop file to another location so now when my desktop starts it used the entire contents of my /home/user/ directory (except for the hidden contents) to create icons all over my desktop.
I have restored the Desktop folder to the correct location but it ignores it now and continues to show every file under /home/user as an icon.

How do I reset it to point to the original Desktop folder?
(Using 64-bit Ubuntu)

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Some shortcuts are outdated because of new installation of opensuse 11.2...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 Multimedia :: Volume Range Incorrect / Correct It?

Jul 29, 2010

I spent hours and hours digging through this thread, and other random ones, where everything succeeds. I have an onboard Intel ICH6. Its details are located at: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.p...x:Vendor-Intel (btw, the part of about going and finding your chipset from a dropdown and the green text is a broken link. I think it should point here, instead: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main).

My resolution ended up being, in the sound preferences, to change the Connector under Output from "Analog Output/Amplifier" to "Analog Mono Output/Amplifier" (No Amplifier works too).

I didn't find this advice anywhere. I was going to give up, and was poking around, and saw the mono options. Since onboard speakers are mono, I gave these choices a try. So, hopefully, this helps someone else. I appreciate this sticky; maybe there should be some information about how to find the appropriate sound settings in the guide ... somewhere in the beginning, around where you should check that your volume is up and your mute is off

This is a quote from sound solutions thread. i had this problem too with ICH6 but now that i have sound i have a new issue. While a normal sound range is 0-100% my sound range is about 0-10% meaning that about if i put my volume on 3% it it as loud as about 30% should be normally.

Ubuntu Installation :: Incorrect Ambiance Icons After Upgrade / Remove Them - Get That Default Theme?

Oct 12, 2010

I recently upgraded from Lucid to Maverick... I did not notice this earlier but the icon theme (for example, in the nautilus toolbar) is not the same as ambience theme. Although I chose all the defaults for ambience theme by going to 'System' > 'Preferences' > 'Appearance'. I think the current icons I have are remnants from some previous installations. How do I remove them and get to the ambiance default theme?

Ubuntu :: Incorrect Folder Path Definitions

Feb 5, 2011

I have somehow managed to wreck the definitions /paths for my Home and Desktop. If I click on Places I now have a "Home Folder" displayed as "Open Your personal Folder", a "Desktop" displayed as "Open the contents of your Desktop in a folder" and a second "Home Folder" displays as "Open '/home/ian'"....and they all point to the same folder which is my personal user file "ian". This is kind of OK except that every file I have now gets displayed on my screen because "Desktop" has a view of these files. Is there any easy way to reset my file directory ? or do I have to backup my files and reinstall Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Moving Downloaded Files To Correct Folder?

Sep 1, 2011

I'm looking for a script or a bittorrent client which is able to move a file after downloading and placing it in a specific folder depending on the file type. E.g. moving a newly downloaded movie to "Videos" and an ISO-file to "Files".

I feel as if i have used a client with this functionality before but can't remember the name.

Since I at the moment use Transmission as my bittorrent client a script would also work since Transmission can run it after finishing the download.

Debian :: Some Of The Icons On The Desktop Changed And All Of The Icons In The Drop Down Menu On The Bar At The Top Of The Screen Also Changed?

Jun 19, 2010

I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

CentOS 5 :: VHOSTS Not Resolving To The Correct Folder Location

Mar 30, 2009

having a bit of trouble getting domains to resolve to their own folder properly on my new server.

this is a plesk/centos server that is pretty much out of the box.

Problem I have is that all the domain names I add to Plesk, are all pulling files from /var/www/html . All 5 domains Ive added each got their own /var/www/vhosts/domain.com/* folders created ...

Is there something I am missing in order to have the server grab files from each domains respective folder?

What I noticed was that if I edit /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and add the virtualhost lines to it, then the one domain name resolves properly.

i replaced my domain with 'mydomain.com'

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin youremail@yoursite.com
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/
ServerAlias mydomain.com *.mydomain.com
</virtualHost>

Ubuntu Servers :: Correct Permission Handling Apache Virtual Hosts In Home Folder?

i use virtual hosts to develop several web applications. These are located in my home folder under /home/user/projects/project After a fresh installation, i always get a 403 forbidden error. After googling and reading on this forum, several solutions are mentioned for this problem. But i can hardly believe putting using a chmod 755 on my home folder is a correct solution. What is the correct way of doing things in this situation?

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 :: 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?

Ubuntu :: Folder Icons Won't Change / What To Fix It?

Jul 17, 2011

I'm using Ubuntu Studio 10.10 and I was installing some programs the other night. After I had finished installing the programs, the folder icons (and their respective windows) changed to this god-awful beige colour. I'm using the "UbuntuStudio" theme which has these nice glossy blue folders by default, but they've changed as I said to this ugly colour that, quite frankly, sickens me.
I've gone into the Appearance Preferences and tried to work it out there, but no matter what I do, the folders never change.
If any of you know how I can fix this.

Ubuntu :: Icons For Subdirectories Of User's Folder?

Nov 24, 2010

I figured I'd try out the Ubuntu Minimal install; I liked the concept of minimal distros like Arch-Linux (with a what-you-need-is-what-you-get type of system), but I really liked the community and general support of Ubuntu. Anyway, everything went fine after I got GRUB working properly, up to the point when I found that there were no subdirectories in my user's folder (Templates, Documents, Videos, etc).

I just decided to create the folders I needed. However, there were two issues I came across when doing this: The items in the 'Templates' folder don't show up in the context menu like they should More importantly, the icons for each folder would have to be manually changed for every new icon theme (if I wanted to use a new icon theme, I would have to navigate to the theme's folder every time for each icon I wanted changed) I'm not too concerned with the templates at the moment, but I was wondering how I would make these icons dependent on the current icon theme. Is there some package I missed installing?

By the way, if it makes a difference, I'm trying to set up the default Humanity icon set (well, not default for me, since I'm using Ubuntu Minimal). Also, sorry if this question has been posted before (or if I find the solution immediately after posting, which almost always happens to me), I didn't know exactly what to search for...

Ubuntu :: Correct BIOS Setup For Desktop Built?

Sep 6, 2010

So I just recently built a desktop and the main purpose is directed toward gaming, etc. But I guess I haven't set-up my BIOS correctly, but when it comes to knowing what I'm doing in the BIOS it's nada. Anyways, I'm having mainly a timing and voltage issue, I start the PC up and it wants to start, shuts down and restarts successfully.

The hardware:
P55 EVGA SLI motherboard
Intel core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95w Quad-core
Visiontek 900301 Radeon HD 5750 1GB 128-bit GDDR 5 PCI express 2.0 x16
8GB 240-pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Folder Icons And Emblems Not Being Remembered?

Sep 15, 2010

I've recently acquire a new HDD and I've decided to use it for multimedia files.
So I've edited my fstab so it mounts this disk at startup.

What's more important, I've bind the folders in that disk (i.e. media/theDisk/Music) to a folder in my home directory (i.e. /home/me/Music) so I can have all the folder mounted at home (Mount the disk in /home/user is not possible because Nautilus start to whim about not being able to set some files in .nautilus or something, I believe its because it does not know which disk to save to or something like that)

So everything works fine, except for folder icons. When I open the home directory, all folders in the disk are shown with the Desktop default icon. Even if I change them (whether from home or from the mounted disk) the next time I open the home directory they are shown with the Desktop icon. Emblems are lost too.
