View 6 Replies View RelatedI am installing lucid, have installed nautilus-actions, and am trying to install a "Search for file in the active folder" function into nautilus-actions.. I brought up Nautilus Actions Configuration under System>Preferences and did the following:
Under Action tab
Checked Display item in selection context menu
Unchecked Display item in location context menu
Label: Search For File In Active Folder
[Code]....
when I right click a folder and select "Search For File in Active Folder, it brings up the search tool, but the folder setting is always my home folder--not the active folder. Of course I can change the folder to be searched, but the point was to search in the active folder. I got this Search For File in Active Folder function from an Internet site that I don't remember. However, I thought --path=%M would get me the active folder.
I have never posted here because i never cared to read the rules or understanding how the forum actually works. That being said, before 10.04 there was a button on nautilus that let you change the path buttons for a text box so you could type the path you wanted to go. Now that it has been removed how can i get it back? I know you can use control L to get a text box but pressing control L again does not return the buttons.

~/Dir1/file1.txt
~/Dir2/file2.txt
Then I use the following command:
cd ~ zip out.zip /Dir1/file1.txt /Dir2/file2.txt
In the out.zip i can see two directories (dir1 and dir2) but want only these two files (file1.txt and file2.txt) were in the root of out.zip! I thought the "-D" option is what I need, but it doesn't work
Is there a way to get the full path of a file in C? I have a method that accepts a file name as an argument and is supposed to read the content of the file. The file name might include "../" so this might lead to accessing files outside of the current directory. I tried to use fstat but I could not figure out how to get the full path.

Why do you have to press ctrl-L to use the location text box in Nautilus? There used to be a setting in preferences where you could have it always use the text bar. Now you have to use some gconf command in the terminal. The gconf command I've used also will only work for normal users. If I want to open a root nautilus terminal to move files around between my mounted drives then I have to hit ctrl-l every time. It is really annoying because if I am in a Nautilus window there are lots of times where I need to copy the path to something I am doing in the terminal.
Why does it seem like everything involved with Ubuntu is simplifying things at the expense of having options? I thought GNU/Linux was all about options. I guess it still is, but I just cannot understand why you would completely remove options instead of just putting them in an advanced section or something.
when i search in nautilus folder browser it search in my home path,how i can say to search in the current path?
View 2 Replies View RelatedUsually when i did, for example:
:~/> vi documents/<tab><tab>
i would get list of files in 'documents' dir on my konsole.
:~/> vi documents/
doc1 doc2 doc3
Bu now in 11.4 when i do that i get whole path, like this for example:
:~/> vi documents/<tab><tab>
:~/> vi documents/
documents/doc1 documents/doc2 documents/doc3
how to make it look "old" style?
- When using SU - , I need the option to show the full user path (root user, home dir, etc..), not just root@name. Is there one?
-If not in sudoers file, how can a user get in to edit a file for example. Is that possible?
-Does service ssh restart disconnect users?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a problem on my installation of Ubuntu 10.10: it shows 0kb space remaining in nautilus. When I delete files (also out of Trash) it shows there is again space, but within minutes this free space is full again. When I look in Disk Usage Analyzer it says there is 140 GB available and it is impossible that the complete partition of 190 GB is full. But I cannot save or download anything anymore and the system is not very responsive. So it seems to act as if the disk is completely full.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI 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.
need to know, how we can display the whole (till current directory) path in below highlighted way. normally it shows only the name of current working directory after the server name.

Trying the various settings (and noticing ubuntu gnome users recently had the same exact OPPOSITE problem -- they can't SHOW hidden files in dolphin) to hide my hidden files in dolphin is not working. The settings are saved OK, but those damn (ending in tilde, ie "~") files do NOT ever hide! I even see the correct little green recycling symbol on them, indicating they're identified as such, but no actual hiding goes on..
Nautilus, which I've used before (but have grown tired of, and was looking forward to dolphin), also has a weird issue that seems to have appeared with FC13 (I'd been using FC12 'til now mostly because of this) - there's no way (AFAIK) to tell it to show the location; to see it, you have to click Go->Location each time. Previously I could set it to print out the whole file or server path and it would stay that way when I opened new windows.. This is on fresh install & update.. kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64.
Code:
# echo $PATH
/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin
How would i write a script to display permission on each folders in $PATH variable below format.
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 root 4096 Nov 24 14:51 /usr/kerberos/sbin
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 root 4096 Nov 24 14:51 /usr/kerberos/bin
This is what i did but since it require awk programming i m stuck.
Code:
ls -ld <directoryinpath>
Code:
# echo $PATH | awk -F ":" '{ print $1 }'
/usr/kerberos/sbin
im installing ubuntu onto a friends ibook, but am first running it live off the disk. it runs well, except for one thing, the display has a problem,i guess it seems like its tiled on the monitor, instead of fullscreen, it has a full desktop taking about 2/3 of the monitor, a sliver of the same desktop right below it, and a line of black to the right.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am working on a gym class display screen which was built by others. It is operated under Ubuntu. Everytime I click on Firefox, the page goes to fullscreen, but the problem is that the gym class display is not zoomed to full screen (which is what we need). there are black blank parts on both the right and the bottom of the screen.There is no shortcut key working under firefox either, which means I can't zoom the screen or even enter url for any websites.I checked the gym class website on my computer, everything looks perfect. I think there must be some setting wrong on the operating machine.
