Ubuntu :: Nautilus File Manager Looks Strange In Lucid
May 7, 2010
I need some restoring my Nautilus File Manager back to its original state. I tried installing Elementary Nautilus but for some reason it was not working for me, so I uninstalled it but have been having an issue with Nautilus looking like its former self. Now Nautilus doesn't display the "tree" on the left, there are no back/forward icons, and generally looking strange.Here's a picture to showcase my issue:

I would love to use Elementary Nautilus but can not get it as my default file manager. Since I can't do that I just want Nautilus (the one that comes shipped with Ubuntu) to look and act like it's supposed to.

I have, in fact, stated my problem correctly. I want to make Nautilus as the default File Manager in KDE. I use GNOME on other computers, and don't like the feel of the KDE file manager on my PC. I looked online but most "solutions" are for the other way round and in either case, didn't work for me.
I tried changing the 'inode/directory' file association to Nautilus but it didn't change anything. What can I do ? (I have GNOME as a DE here too .. But I would like to know how to change the association in KDE as well)

I would like to use DropBox, but I really don't want Nautilus on my system.I downloaded the source to compile, thinking it would allow me to use a different file browser, but unfortunately it seems they made it dependent on Nautilus.Is there a way to compile it using a different file browser (Thunar in this case)? And if not, is there an alternative to DropBox out there that works on multiple platforms?

With Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.0.4 I have seen that the nautilus filemanager is extremely slow with folders that contains many files or/and folders.I made sure that "Assistive Technologies" is diable. On the filemanager preference I set all preview to "Never", tried all possible views, but the filemanager remains extremely slow. It seems like it becomes even slower when the subfolders in the folder you are viewing new files are being created by for example a program. Possibly nautilus filemanager is updating continuously ?
I use to be using debian etch nautilus file manager. With the same directories, nautilus in debain etch was working much faster. But contrary to the one in Ubuntu 9.10 and 10.0.4 is is far less stable. It seems like the newer version is more stable but however extremely much slower. I was wondering if I am missing something. Or whether this is a bug. If it is a bug, then I am wondering when this is going to be solved in nautlius filemanager.

Last night I had to re-install Ubuntu. Previously, the header of the file manager had been configured up with the three buttons on the right for icon/list/compact view (see 1st image below), whilst since re-installing, they appear with the drop-down menu instead (as per the 2nd image). How do you change between these two formats? My preference is for the first of these.

Nautilus File Manager search in a directory seems to be corrupted. It's glued to a previous search and you cannot start a new one. Anybody know how to repair?Clicking the magnifying glass goes to this directory (it reads Search for ""under the Title Bar).

I'm running 64 bit Lucid on a HTPC that is networked with a Windows 7 64 bit laptop. Up until this morning, sharing media between these two worked fine. When I attempted to connect through Rhythmbox to play music, the computer couldn't find the files. I attempted to access the network through Nautilus and it was unable to mount the location. So I tried the Create Launcher command and created a link of the network on the desktop. I was prompted to login and it worked perfectly This has happened once before and the only way to fix it was to reinstall Ubuntu.I would very much like to avoid that if possible as the system is setup perfectly.
I wouldn't bother with the issue if it didn't prevent me from adding my music files to Rhythmbox. I have run findsmb as well as smbtree. Smbtree returned nothing and findsmb had a dotted line with nothing underneath. Nothing has been removed. I did install security updates this morning, but since it has happened before, I am more inclined to thing it is a bug or conflict somewhere.

Is it possible to somehow open Nautilus file manager, or favorites, or places items using hotkey(s)? Simply going to the launcher just to open the file manager is annoying, and I'd really find it convenient to somehow launch the Nautilus using hotkey(s)

I've been trying out Nautilus-actions (Gnome 2.28.4), but have been unable to import most config files from [url].
When I attempt to import an action, it complains:
Quote:
Can't parse file 'convert_flv_to_avi.schemas' as GConf schema description file!
This XML file is not a valid Nautilus-actions config file (missing keys: )
So far, the only one that has worked for me is "Move to custom folder" [url].

I would like to backup my files and folders. This is very easy - but just copying the files to another HD loses all the emblems I attached to files/folder with nautilus. So, I would like to backup/restore not only my data, but additionally the emblems I assigned to them in nautilus. At least in Jaunty, there was a xml-file in ~/.nautilus/metafiles/ that contains all emblem-assignments I did with nautilus.
So restoring this folder brought back all my emblems. In Lucid (and in Karmic), this folder is empty. Does anyone know where nautilus stores these information now? I read somewhere in the internet, that the new folder is ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata. But that does not seem to be true. I assigned a emblem to a new folder, but there are no changes in ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata and subfolders.

Karmic there was a tab inside "System->Preferences->Appearance" called "Interface" which allowed me to modify the keyboard shortcuts. I had <Backspace> to move backwards in Nautilis and <Shift><Backspace> to move forward.
Without this tab can anyone tell me how I can modify the shortcuts to do this? I have spent some time looking at gconf-editor but nothing is jumping out at me, particularly with regards to the back and forward browsing.

How do you toggle between the button and text-based location bar in Nautilus in Lucid. I can only get Nautilus to show the directory path as buttons and not as as text based in the form of /home/Desktop.Previously there was a button to toggle between them.

My installation went fine. Apache, PHP, and MYSQL all work independently. My trouble getting PHP to serve MySQL content. The first thing I did was look in the PHP.INI file to check that it was set up correctly. Then I discovered my install of PHP does not have the expected directives, namely extension_dir or any DLL comments where I can enable MYSQL. Instead my config file has a PHP.D directory. In that directory there are no files for MYSQL. I look at the PHP.net site and I can't find any info on how to write this file. And there's the issue of the missing extension_dir directive.
As I said, I visited the PHP.net site and could not find any specific manual pages explaining this change to PHP 5.2.11. I downloaded "the latest php.ini" development file from the site. As near as I can tell its for PHP 6.0.0 and it does have the extension_dir directive, and it still uses the DLLs in Dynamic Extensions section. (EDITED= The introduction of the PHP.INI file doesn't give a version number, however later under error handling there is a note: "as of PHP 6.0.0"). Why I can't find more information about this on any forum or at PHP.net?

In a fresh install of 11.4 I see a file named "1" (the number "One") in the / (root) directory.
Code:
vodoo@host:/> ls -l 1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 May 31 11:29 1
Who creates this file and what is it good for?

I like the "Ubuntu" sudo philosophy and wanted to setup this sudo the same way on my Debian system. I was happy when I found that I just have to do the following:
-create a group 'admin'
-adduser christian admin
-visudo
-add the line: %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL
Then I tried sudo rm -rf / to check if sudo works. All worked fine. No, seriously, I can move around files that belong to the root and such, so sudo somehow works. But when creating new files with sudo, like e.g.
tar xzf myZippedTarball
these files belong to user 41034 and to the group users instead of root root:
drwxr-xr-x 7 41034 users 4096 2009-11-01 01:07 libsvm-2.9
Certainly, this is not the way I want to have. The user 41034 doesn't even show up in /etc/passwd...

every time this boots now, I get that message. If I hit cancel, then the screen locks and the mouse moves but nothing happens. The only way to get it show the desktop, is to select 'logout anyway'
Plus the boot takes forever at least 4 times longer than karmic.
all of this is in reference to booting up the PC

I was messing around with different GUI sessions, and I wanted to try XFCE. Well, I switched to XFCE for a session, and I played around in it. When I went back to a Gnome session, however, it appears that Thunar is now the default filesystem explorer.I get the Thunar explorer. I want the Nautilus explorer. How do I fix this issue?

So I decided a while ago to download the newest distribution release, Lucid Lynx, and try it out on a LiveCD. The first thing I installed onto the LiveCD environment was CompizConfig Settings Manager. One question I have about it is... Why are so many of the plugins missing or limited?
In 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, there are many plugin options, and to be honest, I use a large quantity of them. For example, a plugin I use on 9.04 called "Reflection." For those of you who don't know, reflection allows you to show an image in window decorations and shadows. This plugin is completely missing from CompizConfig Settings Manager in 10.04!
Another example, this time a limited one, is the Animations plugin. It's missing the option for closing animation called "Burn." This is an animation I LOVE showing off and using, yet it's... Gone.
Am I missing something? Did I do something wrong on installing it? Is there a way to get the parts that are missing?
Just in case you're wondering how I installed it, it was the popular method of using GNOME-Terminal and typing:
Code:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

Have you guys had this weird nautilus error? When I su to root and run "nautilus" in terminal, errors popped out:
Code: (nautilus:3979): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported(nautilus:3979): Eel-WARNING **: GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
