I am suddenly no longer able to run any Nautilus scripts. If I right click a file, select Scripts, then a specific script, nothing happens. No errors, no messages, etc. I have checked permissions, and everything appears to be OK. I am also no longer able to run anything via Alt+F2.Typing that keyboard combination does absolutely nothing.
View 1 RepliesI just noticed that after upgrading to 10.04 Lucid Desktop, nautilus no longer plays MP3 files on mouse-over. It does recognize the file as a music file as it displays the music note icon in the comic balloon next to the music note file icon when the mouse is positioned over an MP3 file, however no sound is played.If I double-click the MP3 file, totem is invoked and plays the MP3 file just fine.

Now if you click on a usbdrive it give this error: "Unable to mount 'volumelabel' Not Authorized".Previous it automatically mounted it, making/removing mount points as needed in /media, or you could mount by clicking on the drive icon in nautilus. (It varied a bit with package updates, but i didn't worry too much)Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong? I'm lost where to start, and systems nautilus or gnome-volume-manager use to mount things.
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen I right click a file or folder in the Nautilus file manager (Gnome3 on F15) and choose "Properties", I no longer get a Properties dialog. Instead, Nautilus just sits there, frozen.I tried running it from a terminal, and this is the output it generated:

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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'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...
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.
I experience this since kde 4, but it never really was that bad because once in a while on updating kde I also deleted the .kde folder in my home-folder and everything was fast again.
But I haven't done this for a while now and kde take really long to load. Is there any folder to clean up there without deleting the whole .kde-folder and loosing all my settings again?
what's the difference between Nautilus and Nautilus-Elementary?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe left hinge on my Dell Inspiron 1521 cracked and broke. Last night, I removed the hinge since it had frozen in an "up" position. I had to remove the hinge plate to do so. Since then, I am unable to boot my computer. Whenever I boot up, I see the Dell Boot Screen (like normal) and then the screen goes blank except for a the words GRUB at the top of the screen. I've tried using the Live Disk to recover, but I don't have a "Recover" option on the set up menu and prior to installing, the set up client advises that there is no operating system installed and that I have only one partition.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm using Audacious as my MP3 player, because I just can't take Rhythmbox any longer.I want to set Audacious as the default player for MP3s and Oggs, but I don't seem to be able to. When I open an audio file, it plays in MPlayer. There's an option in the GNOME context menu to open something with a certain programme, so I do that, and then you can choose the programme and tick a box to remember your choice. But the choice isn't remembered - audio still opens in MPlayer.
So then I went to the Default Programmes option in the GNOME Preferences Menu, expecting to find MPlayer as the default media player, but it's not, it's Rhythmbox, which never opens if you double-click on audio files.How do I sort this out and make it so I can set this from one place? It's a pretty big usability fail. How do I make a bug report about it?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 10.04 and everything went fine. I had a cd drive fail(wtf?) and took it out, now apparently everything is messed up as far as what is what (sda/b/c/d etc). I've got 2 hard drives, the OS drive was sdb2, with sdb3 /home and sdb1 an ntfs parition. sda1 is /media/disk. sdc0 was the cd drive.
On the next boot up, it was unhappy that something was wrong with the /home partition.(wtf is that, there is no /home "partition", it's /dev/sdb3!), so I was like.. ok just need to go into fstab and re-arrange things. I open up fstab and, most everything is commented out... so I guess 10.04 no longer uses fstab? What does it use now?
Here's my fstab:
Code:
I commented the last two so that the system would boot. Now it wants home on sda3 and media/disk on sdb1, which is fine, but when I change those in the commented section, obviously nothing happens. I would go through and make the file legible, if I knew that Ubuntu still even uses it.
i noticed after adding the flashplugin-x64 ppa from ubuntu tweak, when im in the synaptic package manager and go to install it, it appears to be installed but when i check the terminal log i see that it fails to download the plugin. I know that flash x64 has temporally been halted by macromedia
i have tried using nspluginwrapper and the 32bit flash version but with certain videos im unable to use the controls.
I was wanting to know where i could get the latest x64 flashplugin ?? that was made before macromedia stopped creating them.
did some updates on the buntu-box but everytime I start it it now goes to some CMD-like screen that lets you go through F1-FX and comes up with diffrent tty thingies, before the update it used to go into the proper GUI, I have 10.10 installed, I think I updated my GPU driver and looked on here for some hints on what to do, I have tried: cd /etc/x11
Above command did not work for some reason, think it couldn#t find it? Sudo service gdm start Said above process is already started or something
I have been dual booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu for a few years now, and yesterday I successfully updated my Ubuntu partition to release 10.10.
Today my daughter visited and used my computer. She always boots into Ubuntu rather than Windows, and today I suspect that she may have turned off my computer before Ubuntu had completed shutting down.
After my daughter left for the day, I started up my computer, selected Ubuntu from my Grub2 menu, and got dumped to a command-line interface with the following lines at the end:
mount: mounting /dev on root/dev failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /sys on root/sys failed: No such file or directory
mount: mounting /proc on root/proc failed: No such file or directory
Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init
No init found. Try passing init= bootarg
I'm thinking that my Ubuntu partition has probably been corrupted and that I will need need to reinstall Ubuntu. If anyone has any ideas as to how I might be able to repair or revive the partition without having to re-install the operating system,
My mum has a computer that has a dual boot with Windows XP and Ubuntu 10.10. Well Ubuntu will not boot anymore, i just get a bunch of CLI output mentioning missing stuff. But she has really important data that she needs which is on the ubuntu partition. I have tried using Ubuntu & Knoppix live CD's the mount the partition and copy the data to her external HDD. On Ubuntu it couldn't mount, it just kept trying and trying forever. On Knoppix it just gave me a heap of CLI output that I have no clue what it means. How can I save all her data? Is there a program that can sav the data, or what is the best way?

I am guising at this point? It took for ever to boot up in 904 Jaunty. All though I never tried the above then and meant to. Thought the upgrade might get it . Now in Karmic Koala. I can get to the grub. Yet any fooling around here it always says unrecognized command. Well really I don't know what I am doing.I have a Intel graphic processor in this lap top I am sure. When it did boot up in 904 the display would mess up. I had upgraded all the way from 804 because I could never get my Alfa usb wifi to work. As for now it will not boot up? Is there any links on the subject? Not sure why this in red it was not on purpose

Apart from still seeing Windows 2000 in the bootup list. I've never tried this hence the reason for the question
