Ubuntu :: How To Associate Theme File Type
Sep 11, 2010
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.
When I double-click any .theme file I get the error message: "Could not display such-and-such.theme. the location is not a folder."
When I right-click any .theme file there is no option to "Open With", and no "Open With" tab in Properties.
When I create a text file and save it with a random name, I can change the filename extension to wav, jpg, png, txt, or theme, and Properties shows that the OS thinks it is that filetype. But all those filetypes except theme give "Open With" options, and allow me to change the extension again to anything. Once a file has been given the theme extension, it is stuck as a theme file.

any way to make a certain file extension (.etxt) open with a certain jar application (enotes.jar) that uses files with that file extension? i tried (for the custom open command on a .etxt file):
Code:
java -jar /home/me/Programs/enotes.jar "%1" %*
which was proposed (for windows) here: [URL]but it doesn't work when adapted to linux...

I want to make vlc the default application for opening avi files.
I tried 'open with a different application', selected vlc and checked the box 'Remember this application for "AVI video" files' (see attached), but the next time I double-click on an avi file it loads in Movie Player.
I've searched the Ubuntu documentation for "file associations" and "default programs" with no success. I'm probably using the wrong search terms, but somewhere, in all the configuration files and tables, there must be a way to assign a particular program to a given file-type.
(If you're wondering why I want to use vlc, it's because, after hours of research and tinkering, I finally got it to respond to my mceusb remote via lirc.)

I backed up .themes from /home, but on trying to install them (files don't show as theme packages) it says "There was an error installing the selected file, index.theme doesn't appear to be a valid theme". Did I backup the right thing?

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

there is any way (via terminal or gediting a file) to use .flac files instead of .ogg in a sound theme file? I am creating a sound theme (several truthfully) and I would like to use the FLAC format if possible.

I am writting a script to allow uploading of certain files. I want to limit the files by their filename and mime type, and by making sure the two match up.The first thing I need to do is make sure I've got all the mime types I need added. I have never done this before, but I understand that 'file' (which is what PHP's mime-type finding is based off of) uses magic databases that tell at which point in the file should have signatures of the filetype.
My trouble started when I was unable to determine the filetype of any of my video files. Currently, I have some .MOV and .MP4 files that I am using to test.

I want to be able to play a video file on my pda(Tungsten T5) but from memory the only video file i have seen playable on it was the asf file that is used when it starts up/reboots. I tried other file types in the past that were suggested in maybe a manual or forum or something but they never worked/played. I think it is because of the player installed and i tried installing another player but from memory that didn't install properly or just did not play anything. So if anyone knows of a way to convert files maybe using winff or mencoder i would love that info. I have been googling and have found nothing specific to what i am asking. I do not see anything in winff to convert to asf and cannot remember ever using mencoder.

I found an icon theme I want to use. The problem is that it has no index file. Is there some kind of script I can run to automatically generate the index file? Or do I have to go about this manually?

A while ago, I installed a windows application (on wine) called Max/msp. I have uninstalled it, and removed wine from my system (deleting ~/.wine as well), but now I'm left with some files thinking they are "Max Externals." How do I fix this/restore to the default file types?

Hi! I'm an opensuse noob, and I'm having trouble figuring out how to associate .avi files with VLC. In Yast, I've tried to use the custom command setting to start VLC instead of Totem, but a double click on any avi file starts BANSHEE instead of Totem OR VLC. No clue, here. I can't find where to specifically associate a file extension with an application, as opposed to the very high-level settings in Yast.

I have an IBM T60 with Intel 3945ABG WNIC:
Module for this WNIC is loaded:
Code:
Code:
If I execute "iwlist wlan0 scanning", I see the cell I'm interested in:
Code:
I'm able to connect to this cell using Gnome "Wireless Networks" manager, but not with iwconfig. At first I tried to connect to this "bq" network while wlan0 was active("ifconfig wlan0 up") using the iwconfig but this didn't change any of the wlan0 parameters.
Then I tried to shutdown wlan0("ifconfig wlan0 down") and executed:
Code:
Now the changes applied and "iwconfig wlan0" gives following:
Code:
Everything seems to be correct, but I'm still "Not-Associated". I have tried with "iwconfig wlan0 essid bq", "iwconfig wlan0 ap 00:24:14:F9:0B:92", "iwconfig wlan0 essid "bq" mode Managed" etc, but whatever I try, it does not connect. I even did "/etc/init.d/gdm stop" in order to be sure, that Gnome "Wireless Networks" is not interfering with "iwconfig", but this gave no results as well. I can associate with this AP using the Gnome "Wireless Networks" just fine, but for some reason I can't connect using iwconfig.

I have a Nook ebook reader and would like it to automatically open a certain application when I plug it in.As standard it just opens a nautilus file browser.I cannot find any settings that will let me associate a drive name/uuid with a certain application and google results came up saturated with how to make bootable USB drives.The only solution I actually found was to make a .autorun script in the root of the drive to start my application, but it still requires user interaction and is not ideal since I would like to implement this across several machines with different users/applications.

For some reason, from time to time on login, as my normal theme starts to load, it changes to some sort of silver theme (a very basic one), and I am unable to change it over to any other theme. Checking the theme being used, it still says my desired one is set, but it is not. Also, no matter what theme I change it to, that basic silver theme is the one being used. This includes a default icon theme, not the one I prefer.
The only option that seems to fix things is a restart, and the hope that on this login it won't mess up like before.I am using Natty, from a fresh install, with Ubuntu Classic as my desktop, and have reinstalled things more than once to try and fix a few of the Natty-related issues, but this one keeps coming back.

I am unable to double-click a file of a given type, e.g. .pdf, and have it open in the appropriate application. While some file types have the correct associations, others do not, and I am unable to assign apps for some file types.
An example is Adobe portable document files ending in .pdf. If I right-click on a .pdf in Nautilus, and select "Open with," I get a dialog containing two tabs. One lists applications already associated with that file type, which at present is blank. The other tab seems as if it should allow me to assign an application to that file type, but when I click it, the dialog simply closes suddenly, as if crashing.
What is going on here, and how do I fix it?
(Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit)

I have some .loc files from geocaching's website. I wrote a special script that takes these files and converts them to my Bushnell GPS format and moves them into the correct folder. Now I'd like to associate a double click with my script. However, the .loc file shows up as "XML Document". yes, it's an XML document, but I only want .loc XML documents to be executed by my script. How can I give .loc files their own "type" so I can give them their own "Open With" application and not mess up every other xml file?

we have a dual server setup: Windows server 2003 and Ubuntu 10.04 with apache installed with all the goodies. This is all virtualized. What I'm wanting to do, is make the new website we've created run on the Ubuntu machine, which it is, and be accessible outside the office. However, by doing this, we forfeit being able to use remote access or web exchange on Windows server 2003.
How can I create a link from the new website on Apache point to the internal server and it work outside of the office?

I was messing around in the Window Manager Theme settings area and changed the theme to another one and I was immediatley logged off and now I cannot log back in. It seems like X is having a hard time displaying whatever theme I chose.I want to manually switch back to Albatross but I am unsure of where that setting is stored. Where is the configuration file for these themes stored?

Is there a way to set Firefox to place downloaded files in different folders based on the file type?e.g. in my Downloads folder place all .doc files in a sub-folder called ".doc", all .jpgs in a sub-folder called ".jpg"I'd assume there's probably a rule, or a script that can be used to accomplish this, but being a graduate student, I don't have alot of free time to poke around and figure it out myself

I have installed Gantt Project (project management application) under 10.04. The system identifies the .gan files produced by the program as xml files. How do I tell the system to open .gan files with the GanttProject application?
I tried right click on the file to open and using "Open with other application" but the GanttProject application does not appear to be in the list of available programs.
