I use Ubuntu 10.04 (64bit) version, after I update system yesterday from 2.6.32-27-generic, suddenly my Nautilus freeze everytime I want to permanently delete files (SHIFT+DELETE).
Remove file to Trash will run OK, but when I empty trash, Nautilus will be freeze and I need to "Force Quit" it.
I've added a new Nautilus action and I'd like to use another icon that those provided in the nautilus item con list (see attachment).
But whatever image I try (some PNG or even SVG files) I can't get them to be displayed. It seems there is a very special format, size, type to match the Gnome/GTK+/Nautilus icon requirements...
I have seperatly tried to install Federa, Ubuntu and Mandriva on a second SATA drive and all three installations freeze at the beginning with a black screen. I tried the Ubuntu text installer and was successfull but was only able to boot into it once because it froze everytime after that. I unplugged my WindowsXP SATA drive throughout.

I did a fresh install of 10.04 a couple of weeks ago, and all seemed well, but lately when I double-click on, say, an OpenOffice (.odt) file in Nautilus, I get the following message:The file '/home/zerubbabel/Documents/Teachings/Queue/2010.05.15-A02.odt' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.(The pop-up window title reads: "Blocked: wine start /unix"). I've repeatedly set the "Open with..." and checked "Remember this application...", but it doesn't "stick".
View 5 Replies View RelatedWhen I am in Nautilus, I want to be able to select a directory, then right click (or some other action) to do a file find on that directory. The gnome-search-tool would be a good candidate for this, if it could be an action in Nautilus. I know I can do a file find through other means, but Nautilus seems to be where I am when I want to search directories.
View 6 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to to do something like creating a new folder in nautilus the screen freezes. i'm still able to move my mouse but clicking has no effect. it also happens when renaming a file or deleting a file or folder. I can access the commandline when the screen is frozen and i found out that the compiz process was taking 100% of my cpu, after killing the process the system works fine again. I also noticed that the file action wich coused the freeze was done, so i try to create a folder the system freezes i stop the compiz process and the folder is there. The problem doesn't occour When is start the session using ubuntu classic with no effects. I tried reistalling compiz and the video driver but whitout any luck. I would really appreciate it if someone has a solution for this because its very frustrating.

In the kde realm, with the dolphin file browser, I can open a terminal in whatever folder is in the gui by using the shift and f4 keys. I'd like to be able to accomplish the same in gnome with the nautilus file browser but can't figure out how to do same. So far I have to open a terminal and then cd to the desired folder. Or do I have to use some other file browser and which one?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll of these freezes happen either while I'm in Nautilus or I'm opening Nautilus. The usual Ctrl+Alt+Fx (x being one to six) to get into the backstage does not work. If I have some music open then it would start looping the last couple of seconds.Now generally I would go check the logs, but I see no nautilus logs so what should I check?This is all pretty recent. I think that this started to happen when one day exim4 (and some packages all marked exim) got updated but I cannot be certain. Major playing-around after that would be some Wine issues but the system froze once before all that Wine fun.So step one, what should I check?
EDIT: OK, .xsession-errors ouput:

I've been using Ubuntu for quite some time now and my context menu has become cluttered with a lot of applications that I don't use or menu items that I have never used - and most likely won't use.
So I want to remove them, or at least disable them.
So, after searching Google (irrelevant or old results) so then I tried Google with [URL] but nobody has had their problem solved.
Edit: I've looked through GConf-Editor, found nothing, and have looked through the directories .Cache/.Config/.Local/.Nautilus in my home diretory and nothing came up of relevance in the first three and the .Nautilus directory was empty.
Package Installation error
Recently I get an error while installing any packages offline.
"Action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated source".
The key icon at top tight corner shows.
I have an FTP server on my network (currently ran on IIS). When I connect with Nautilus to FTP and try to delete folder (files delete works) I get error.I tried Filezilla and Gnome-Commander as clients - they cat delete directories just fine. I tried to solve this problem for months because I like the convenience of having my FTP bookmarked in Nautilus and use it from there.Today I finally found a reason for Nautilus not being able deletedirectories, but I can't find a solution to that. I've checked FTP logs and saw that all working ftp-clients are performing RMD on directory name only, while Nautilus always prepends directory name by / symbol. So, let's say I'm trying to delete folder call "Test"Filezilla and Gnome-Commander are logged as doing RMD on "Test", but Nautilus was logged as doing RMD on "/Test" and server replied that "/Test" folder doesn't exist
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter a hard drive failure I installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS in the secondary drive. The intention was to have keep the machine functional until I could reinstall XP and have a dual boot. I replaced the failing drive and reinstalled XP.
The main reason for keeping windows is for using Itunes and a ton of music on the Ipod. I can get into the Ubuntu using Super Grub2 and did try repairing Grub 2 with rescutux. I can of course use the super grub2 disk to boot into Ubuntu but would like to repair Grub2 so I have the choice at boot without the disk.
Here is the readout from the boot info script.
Code:
Boot Info Summary:
I have been enjoying 11.04, upgraded from 10.10, for the past few days without any problems. Today my left shift button stopped working, or at least changed its behavior. When I run xev, I get 'KeyRelease event, serial 39, synthetic NO, window 0x3c00001,root 0x15a, subw 0x3c00002, time 12813775, (27,34), root94,82),state 0x11, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False'
I am using the usa keyboard layout and have not had any problems prior to the 11.04 upgrade. I have also tried creating a new user and changing to ubuntu classic. The problem with the left shift key persists through all of these changes.

View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter screwing up my current UNR install, I have decided to get a fresh installation of regular Lucid without all the BS that comes with the netbook remix, BUT when I boot from usb and start the process I can't get past the keyboard selection phase... it just hangs there forever. I tried making a usb with the alternate text based version too but it halts at the same spot, namely detecting hdd's. Now, I've installed the UNR previously from usb without any problems so something is wrong here, I just haven't got any wiser from reading whats online either.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have recently added a couple of HDDs to my system and wanted to try 11.04 on one, so installed on my smallest empty hard drive. The installation went fine, but upon booting to that drive the system froze at the 'Verifying DMI pool data' screen, and didn't boot. I thought it could have been that drive, so I tried installing on my 500gb drive which had 10.10 running on it. After backing up files etc., I tried a fresh install of 11.04 on this drive, but with the same result, same freeze at the same screen.
During this process I noticed that the Live USB I am using has been quite glitchy (eg. selecting a menu option and it hangs for about a minute before any action), which makes me suspect that it could be the image I'm using. I've downloaded it a couple of times just in case it was a bad image (has happened to me before), but that hasn't fixed it. Both times I used the image in the Internode mirror repository, [URL]...
I started the upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to 10.04 LTS last night and it seems to have frozen during the "Installing the upgrades" portion. My mouse works and so do my Application menus, etc. Just the upgrade process has frozen.
In the upgrade window, there is a drop down box showing the terminal. Below is the last install it shows and at what point it froze:
Setting up dbus (1.2.16-2ubuntu4)...
Installing new version of config file /etc/dbus-1/session.conf...
Installing new version of config file /etc/dbus-1/system.conf...
The system user 'messagebus' already exists. Exiting.
What should I do now? I left it overnight and nothing has changed. Should I reboot?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI just tried a dual installation. Win7 sits on my internal HDD, Ubuntu has a partition on my external HDD. The external Hdd is set up to have ~900GB of NTFS file storage and ~100GB for / (ext4) and a seperate swap partition. I partitioned it that way from the livecd installer. I have to say that I'm basically fresh out of ideas. I can boot Ubuntu 9.10 64bit just fine from a Usb stick. Installation also worked fine, I had the installer install Grub on the external Hdd. I am quite sure that it actually *is* on the external hdd, since unplugging it as well as changing the boot order to internal hdd first results in a straight boot to Win7.
Anyways, booting from the external device, I get as far as the grub OS selection prompt. Windows 7s loader can be started without any problem from here. However, choosing Ubuntu (recovery or not) results in... nothing. The system plain simply freezes up (I gave it some time) and can only be reactivated by resetting it. So far, I tried manually editing the boot entry by pressing "e". I changed the root entry from 2,2 to 2,0 to 2,1 to 2,3 and 2,5. Afterwards I tried booting by pressing ctrl+x. The result always stays the same. No boot, frozen system. Pc: C2D E6750, Gf8800GT,4GB Ram. Pastebin of grub.cfg: [URL]
[I'm not sure if this is the right forum. This is the closest I've found]. I've installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (dual boot with Windows XP SP3). After Ubuntu starts, it takes about 10 seconds, and the computer halts. No screen/mouse/keyboard activity. If I start Ubuntu under Recovery Mode, with failsafeX, it doesn't happen.
In the Windows all is fine. What did I wrong? [My CPU is: Intel(R) Pentium(R) Dual CPU E2140 @ 1.60GHz, if it matters...]
I burned ubuntu 10.4 desktop onto a CD and tried to install it on an old compaq. It was really slow but got to the popup window that asks your language and if you want to demo it or install it. I click on the try it button, but then it doesn't respond. I can move the window, but nothing else. It only has 128 meg of RAM, and hard drive shouldn't matter. The processor (I think) is a "AuthenticAMD AMD-K6(tm) 3D. I couldn't find the processor speed. Would it help if I tried the netbook edition?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a AMD processor with a nvidia graphic card in dual boot with windows xp. First the live-cd was already freezing after a couple of minutes so I had to install Ubuntu with the alternate cd. Now it freezes whatever I do after 2 or 3 minutes. I had exactly the same problem with the 6.04 version but I had only to remove powernowd from /etc/init.d/ to make it perfectly working. But unfortunately this file seems not to be there in this version.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am a Ubuntu user since a few years (Breezy Badger was my first) now but I still don't know much about computers or commands so please bear with me. I used 10.04 on my HP pavillion PC of two years old without any problems. Now I upgraded to 10.10 with update manager. And it boots fine, but whatever I do, after aprox. 10 minutes everything just freezes. And I don't remember the magic phrase for soft reset, so I hit the power button.
I have searched the forums and could not find a satisfactory answer to my problem. I found this thread [URL] but have no idea how to do what's requested. Could anyone please tell me what to do?I know how to open a terminal, and type a command or two but that's basically it.
Today I tried to upgrade from 10.04 to 10.10. It got through probably 50% of the install and then everything froze. I had to hard restart the computer, but when I try to boot to ubuntu, it just gives me a prompt and acts as if everything is wrong. I have tried a few things (sudo dpkg -configure -a; sudo dpkg -reconfigure; etc..) but it all seems to lead back to the prompt with no success. Is there anyway to recover my upgrade? Do I have to resort to a reinstall of ubuntu and lose all my data?

I am getting system freezes, but the mouse pointer still responds (moves arounf).
I suspect that it is the Sandy Bridge video. The freeze is preceded by video corruption.
How do I proceed to get this resolved and report the errors to the development people?
