Basically I Ran
killall -9 nautilus
in a (successful) attempt to get Banshee to properly locate my ipod but now i can't figure out how to properly reinstate nautilus.
I ran
nautilus
and
nautilus&
and these got nautilus working until I close the terminal.
My question is: is there a way to get nautilus to work properly again without having to either restart my computer or keep terminal open?
I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on a Sony Vaio following the instructions that came on the cd (obtained from a Linux Magazine bought in the UK) under the misapprehension that i would get a dual boot, (because i specified retaining windows) but instead I got Ubuntu and a Windows recovery partition. I need to access windows for work related issues, so had to try to recover windows which appeared to go well until I tried to reboot when i got an error message, (to the effect Device not found, Grub not loaded, but since this was about 2.00am last night please excuse me for not writing it down). I then used my windows recovery discs, (prepared as soon as I got the Vaio for use in an emergency) but the Sony will not now reboot from the cd. Since by now I had neither windows nor Ubuntu, I then reinstalled Ubuntu (which will install from the cd, although my windows recovery disc will not). This had the effect of reinstating the windows recovery partition, so i went through the same merrygoround, using the windows recovery partition to "recover" windows, which would not boot because of a grub error; then tried to reinstall Ubuntu which now will not reinstall, but prompts me to manually partition the hard drive which is when i gave up and came to work instead! When I now try to boot with no Ubuntu cd in the drive i get a message reading along the lines "Grub recovery: error 22", which is the message i get whether there is nothing in the cd drive or the windows recovery disc in the cd drive.

I'm attempting to use 'killall' to kill all mysql processes, however after using the command mysql processes are still alive. 'killall mysql' says no processes were killed, and while 'killall mysql_safe' gives no message there are still mysql processes alive afterwards.

Whenever I log in, restart, etc... There are no panels shown, I have to alt+F2, open terminal and run killall gnome-panels in order to have panels shown again. Is there a way to fix this?
View 4 Replies View RelatedRegarding the gnome-panel in Ubuntu (64 bit).... I discovered some time ago that I wasn't the only one who routinely (every login) had their gnome-panel appear butchered, for which Alt-F2 then 'killall gnome-panel' would easily fix.
Having become impatient with this over the past 8 months, I decided I would automate the process and so cofiguring the startup applications seemed like a perfectly logical choice to me. Turns out I was wrong. After adding 'killall gnome-panel' to the startup applications not only does the panel fail to load altogether now, but Alt-F2 doesn't even work.
I tried Ctl-Alt-F1 and working with the graphics-free mode thinking I could somehow navigate to the startup apps config file and edit it, but I don't know where it is or how to edit it without logging in as root and I certainly don't know of any 'root password'.

Is it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.

Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic:
http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg
I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.
By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.
I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...

What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
what's the difference between Nautilus and Nautilus-Elementary?

View 5 Replies View RelatedDue to some prior issues which I believe to be self inflicted I decided to wipe my system and start fresh. My fresh install appeared to do the trick for a day or two but after running the update manager recently I found myself in trouble. When starting up I receive the message Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! Nothing seems to jog the computer from this black screen except shutting off the power. I've read through some threads of people having similar issues but can't quite figure out what I need to do. I have a Nvidia graphics card which has popped up as a potential problem, too, but not sure if it is my problem or not.
Here is a little history that may or may not be relevant. I'll try to make it brief. My original install was Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala which always worked great. I upgraded to 10.04 Lucid Lynx (through update manager) when it was available and it too worked great until I tried installing a program one day forgetting that I had the update manager running already running as well. The computer didn't seem to like this and never worked well after, thus, leading me to wipe and start fresh. What's odd to me is that I had made a CD for 10.04 from the Ubuntu website as well as the one I had for 9.10 but I could never get it to work when I needed help. I always have to revert back to the Karmic disc when I want boot help. If I put the 10.04 disc in whatever issue I'm having surfaces just the same. Is this because I didn't originally install from that disc?
here is the promised boot script. FYI, I ran it today 2/16/11. I guess the date is incorrect because I'm running the system from the CD.
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010

I have a Lenovo W500 ThinkPad. It is running XP on first partition, then Ubuntu. I've tried both 10.10, 11.04 beta 2, and now 11.04 release.With the release I just installed, it seemed OK till reboot-after-install, at which point nothing came up. I rebooted several times and just got errors and kernel panics in the ATI video driver. I also saw a lot of these messages:"udevd[80]: worker [XXX] did not accept message -1 (Connection refused), kill it" URL...
I had download updates on, I'm trying again with a clean install without updates. (Although, I said don't download while installing, and it says it is downloading language packs...?)Now, I also had issues with 10.10, where it would intermittently boot and fail to get video, I'd just be at a tty, and have to reboot and try again. I found it usually got video if I had just booted Windows (XP Pro SP3) beforehand, and not otherwise So what's going on there? Something up with the actual video card? I want to run Gnome anyways, is there a way I can specify that during the install?At any rate, if I can't get 11.04 working properly, I'll have to run 10.10, which I didn't want to do. I'm starting from scratch and wish to start from 11.04 if at all possible.
So yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10 and now when I enter Ubuntu only my background image appears. No files, programs, or anything. It worked right after it rebooted to finish the upgrade but when I turned my computer on this morning I got nothing but background.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe navigation buttons in firefox are not working and I can not access File, Edit, View, and History pull down menus. This just started today i think. I have 3.5.pre8 and 3.7 installed. both are affected.
Edit: Actually it is a problem with all apps when window is maximized. I cannot access the first 3 or 4 pull down menus or buttons on the tool bar unless the window is not maximized. This happens with konqueror, firefox and Banshee. Have not tested other apps yet.
Edit2: Upper left corner of desktop is also affected. The icons in this part of the screen are not accessible. seems that anything in that region of the screen is dead. just switched from compiz window manager to metacity and there is a black square in the upper left corner of my screen about 2.5"x 2.5".

View 2 Replies View RelatedI need to tidy up how my PC boots up.
Current sitch:
Windows XP Pro installed to main C drive.
Ubuntu 9.04 installed to an 80Gb USB drive which draws its power from the PC. Switching PC on brings up GRUB menu where I can choose between Ubuntu or Windows. For whatever reason, Ubuntu 9.04 will not boot properly, only getting me as far as the login screen. When I try to type in my username, the screen does not respond - I cannot type anything into the login box. If the USB drive is not connected to the PC when I switch it on, then there is no way to boot into Windows.
I need to change this so that I can boot into Windows without the USB Hard Drive being connected to the PC. The GRUB thing is obviously on the USB hard drive, so I need to keep it connected to the PC just to boot it up. I'm concerned that if I take that drive and try to upgarde it to 9.10, I will mess up the boot sequence etc., and then won't be able to boot up the PC into either Windows or Ubuntu.
How do I install apps? I was following the instructions, but regardless of the app, the install button was shaded. I tried 5 completely unrelated apps wish no success. I'm running 9.10.
