Ubuntu :: Nautilus Does Not Display Space Taken Up By SD Card?
Aug 22, 2010
I have a miniSD card that I use for my BlackBerry. It's 8GB large so I decided to put it in an SD jacket and use it in my camera.
When I plug the SD card into my computer, Nautilus and Disk Usage Analyzer show 1.4 GB yet `fdisk -l`, `df -h` and gparted all show 2.8GB being used.
Code:
$ sudo fdisk -l
{snip}
Disk /dev/mmcblk0: 7969 MB, 7969177600 bytes
221 heads, 20 sectors/track, 3521 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 4420 * 512 = 2263040 bytes
[Code].....
The files shown on the disk are only 1.4GB and my BlackBerry files, yet when I put the disk into my camera, I can see the unaccounted for photos and videos.
I've used gparted to see if there was some unknown/invisible-to-nautilus partition and I can't find one (just as `df -h` says).
I tried doing a `dd` of the entire disk, but that does me no good when I mount the image... it still shows me 1.4GB.
What can I do to see the other files? I'm a computer science undergrad, so you can be as technical as you wish.
After moving to Lucid Lynx, I've noticed, that when I view Folder Preferences, Nautilus no longer displays the free space available, but instead displays "Free space: Unknown".
In some cases it still appears to show the free space, for example when viewing properties of Home folder, or viewing the properties of a detachable HDD in media-folder (but not when trying to view the properties of any of the folders _on_ that HDD).
i just got fedora 13 from the dvd 64 bit and when i looked at how much space it took up in computer in it said i only had 43 gigs left out of a 610 gig hard drive then i go to my home folder it says 504 gigs of free space but then i look at my system monitor it said i had 547 gigs is this a bug.
Is there a way to display and edit the full path of the current directory in nautilus? I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and I think it was possible with an older version.
Is it possible to display a thumbnail for the *.png image in Nautilus ?It works fine for *.jpeg, *.tiff,... What are the requirements to do that ? (librairies...)
I have recently disabled nautilus from showing up on my desktop. Now I can't seem to start nautilus. Starting it from gnome-terminal doesn't display anything, and it never shows, and it never terminates. The way I disabled nautilus from showing up on my desktop was by following Xmonad/Using xmonad in Gnome - HaskellWiki
I've looked all over the internet for an answer to this problem. Maybe I am the only one experiencing it. I am running ubuntu 10.10 and have problems getting pictures from my camera using any photo program (f-spot, picasa, etc). When I plug in the camera, it shows up in "Places" and under "Computer", it even brings up f-spot or whatever I have set to open under media handling in the nautilus preferences, however, when f-spot or picasa open, the camera is listed, but there are no pictures detected. I have removed and re-installed f-spot and picasa with the same results. I believe I even removed the config files for them before re-installing them.
I can open the camera in nautilus and drag them to a folder from the card. If I remove the card from the camera and use a card reader I can import the photos using fspot, picasa or any other photo program. I just cant figure out why f-spot or picasa cant get them from the camera as they have in past verisons. This is not limited to one camera, it happens with a canon and a Nikon. I hope thats not too much info and is not too confusing. The camera(s) show up in lsusb.
I am running 10.04 Lucid on a Toshiba Satellite A105. The onboard video is an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950. The issue is that when I connect it to my Panasonic widescreen TV (laptop is widescreen as well) the display is shrunk and has a lot of unused space on the sides/top/bottom. So like, if I wanna watch something from Hulu, I plug in the S-Video, and I can watch on the TV, but it's not using all the screen available... I have not found a way to resize the output so it fills the screen.
I have this card reader, it works perfectly on Win7, but when i try to put my xD card in it whilst on Linux, it wont read it, nothing shows up in nautilus nor on the desktop. If it's any use, it's an external, with a USB cable.
I am a both rhel5 and fedora user.I can not configure my Samsung syncmaster 632nw monitor to display full screen at 1360X768.There is huge black space both left and right side of the monitor. I have tried many times to solve it but unable to do it.The max screen resolution is 1024*768 and minimum is 640*480.
Currently when I connect a card reader (with a card inside, of course) gnome auto-starts gphoto. However I don't use gphoto and I would like gnome to auto-start nautilus instead
I try to boot up Ubuntu.It seems like everything goes on as normal (I can tell from sounds), but the screen becomes just a jumble of randomly colored lines (see photos; I couldn't get screenshots for obvious reasons).I also included some info about my computer (see pic), but I don't know anything about my graphics card, how do I find that?
P.S. I just installed a fresh version of 10.04 Lucid (dual-boot with WinXP), and as far as I remember, I haven't changed any settings or even installed any software yet!
First, my set-up -Intel i5 quad-core CPU 16GB RAM.Two Radeon HD5450 video cards, each with two monitors.Multi-boot - Windows7, Ubuntu 10.04.2 and Ububtu 10.04.2(not a typo, the second instance is for experiments)Both the 10.04's have the proprietary ATI video drivers.
On the first set-up, everything works beautifully.All four monitors are alive, and configured with Xinerama as a single large desktop.In the second Ubuntu 10.04 set-up, I have two problems -The second video card is not recognized -it shows up as an unrecognized card.Of the two monitors connected to it, only one is detected, with a resolution of 640x480, not the 1920x1080 the first set-up sees.When I try and switch to the virtual terminal - ctl-alt-F1, I get a blank screen.The terminal is alive and well - I can log in, and enter commands which are executed. For example, when I enter 'ls -l > dir.txt', I see a 'dir.txt' file in my home folder; nothing shows on the screen.how I got the first set up to work!I have tried copying the xorg.conf from the first (working) set-up to the second, but still no joy.The Grub GFXMODE and GFXPAYLOAD are common to both the set-ups, so that can't be the difference.
Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?
I have just installed SUSE 11.4 GNOME X86_64 live cd on a 64 bit machine. after the installation and reboot, I got the following error:
Could not display "X-nautilus-desktop:///" Error Dbus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.Execfailed:failed to execute program /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd:success please select another viewer
Certain icons were missing from the desktop. not be able to open my Computer or network icon. the same error is coming again and again. even there is no menu on desktop except a few folders.
i found ubuntu 904 can work on my old computer machine with a built in ati display card.updating as it return a message saying that the repository may not be available..
how to display the modules related to my wifi card, using lsmod all the kernel modules are displayed but I would like to display just the related to my wifi, is there a way to do this?
After the "Welcome to Fedora 12!" screen, I then click on either: Install or upgrade an existing system [or] Install system with basic video driver [both display the same following screen and then the machine halt on] Loading vmlinuz . Loading initrd.img . .ready. Probing EDD (edd=off to disable) ... ok The number and cap lock have no responses. When I changed to another display card, it has no problem at all.
I have an averatec laptop 4300series. I've installed linux suse-11 on it but problem with display adapter card. I couldn't find on Averatec site any appropriate display adaptor card for linux.
The display card of my notebook is ATI rd 6370m ,the OS is fedora14. After I installed the driver download from ATI web site, it says that my computer can only run 2D can't run 3D. I want to know if some one used the same card with me in fedora14 has run 3D sussesfully? After the installlation I run "#aticonfig" it says "can't find the adaper".
I have a Dell Dimension 3000 with an integrated Intel 865g graphics card that I am trying to use in X on Centos 5.4 i386. The "810" driver (what Centos configures by default) works, but will not display at 1600x900. Strangely enough, it will actually work at higher resolutions such as 1600x1200, but 1600x900 fails, even with 915resolution and 855resolution. The "intel" xorg driver (included with Centos) locks up the entire machine when starting X, so thats a no go as well.
The "fbdev" driver works but, once again, won't display 1600x900, because that resolution doesn't work properly with the version of the intelfb kernel module that Centos bundles. Fedora Core 12 works perfectly fine at 1600x900 on the machine. I think that if I could get a newer xorg installation (or perhaps just a driver) going under Centos, it might fix the problem. I couldn't find any 3rd party repos containing such packages. I'd really rather run Centos on the machine, due to the package stability (yes, I see the irony here).
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.
I attempted to install Nautilus Elementary...the results were not what I expected however. First of all, it doesn't seem to even have installed correctly, but thats not the main issue...after installing, Nautilus looks like this...
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...
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...
Error 1:
Nautilus-2.32.0-1.fc14 Reason: Process/usr/bin/nautilus was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV)
Error 2:
Openoffice.Org-Brand Crash
Reason: Process/usr/lib/openoffice.org3/program/soffice.bin was killed by signal (SIGABRT)
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.
