I have just installed Gnome 3 on my Ubuntu 11.04, and I noticed that nautilus is not generating any new thumbnails. All the old thumbnails are till showing, but if i get a new movie or rename an old one, it does not even attempt to create a new one. Totem is able to play all the movies without any problem. Ive also tried installing totem-xine, but it still makes no difference.

How to disable thumbnailer for text file such a txt, c, cpp, py, etc..i use ubuntu 10.04.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI try to implement thumbnails for files from a Wine program in order to integrate it better in Ubuntu. The Program is Sketchup which creates *.skp files in a binary format, but I found a ruby script that can extract the thumbnail (*.png). Now I wanted to register it in the gnome configuration according to the following instruction:[URL].. It works perfect if I execute the script manually (package ruby installed, script is executable):
Code:
ruby ~/.wine/skp-thumbnailer.rb /home/user/test.skp /home/user/test.png Creates successfully a thumbnail test.png from the file test.skp. With the following commands, I registered the script, but it doesn't create thumbnails automatically:
Code:
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@wine-extension-skp/enable --type=bool true
gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/thumbnailers/application@wine-extension-skp/command --type=string "ruby ~/.wine/skp-thumbnailer.rb %i %o"
Now my question is how to find the mistake. Do I need to copy the script into /usr/bin ? Apart from that, would it be possible to create it as a shell script (without ruby requirement)? If I knew how to translate it into .sh, I would prefer that.
I am very visual when browsing for files, so the icon that is displayed is crucial to me. At the moment it seems that the mime-type is the overriding factor for displaying the icon in Dolphin and Konqueror rather than any content. There appears to be something for GNOME for this.

Is there anything for KDE? OpenSuSe 11.3 KDE 4.5.2
In kubuntu, I know of a package kffmpegthumbnailer for video thumbnailing support. For Gnome on Debian, ffmpegthumbnailer is in the repos. I cannot however find kffmpegthumbnailer for my KDE Squeeze in the repos. Where is it? Or, is there a good replacement?
View 1 Replies View RelatedSuddenly nautilus stopped working on my Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. I can't left/right click on the desktop nor open any folder from the 'Places' menu. When I try running nautilus from the terminal here's what I get:
Code:
(nautilus:1574): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.24.1/gobject/gtype.c:2706: You forgot to call g_type_init()[code]....
Also, I've tried creating a new user but the problem remains.I really don't want to reinstall.
I got a call from a friend who did the distrubution upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 and all was well for about 2 weeks and then his desktop icons disappeared. He kept running it that way and never looked for help until a couple of days ago he tried to plug in a card reader to get some pictures from his camera and nothing happened. that was when he discovered that he couldn't run Nautilus at all. I had him purge nautilus and reinstall it but then he couldn't even log in to Ubuntu. Very strange indeed. Anyone else experience this? After going over all the settings and finding them what they should be, I just installed 10.04 and all is well except that he lost a few photos.

I am using Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a Dell Inspiron mini 1012.
I'm trying to write some nautilus scripts. I have a file (script) called fileType, on the scripts folder, that shows when i right click over a file, on the context menu, but it does nothing.

My system (ubuntu studio 9.10, 32bit) was working just great. Then I installed dropbox via synaptic -- and it worked just great.Then I got some very strange behavior in how my tabs (firefox) worked, and the windows on the system would no longer respond.I restarted.... and the behavior got worse.. my menu would not show up, and when I opened dropbox -- the windows would not move, their menu(s) did not work, and I could not close them.

-- reinstall nautilus

I try to use equinox revolution light them with nautilus elementary but I notice the context menu is not correct (right click menu). There should be a drop down shadow on the context menu but mine seem not having that. If I use with default nautilus, it was ok. Please see the screen shot attached. The context menu has no drop shadow and very difficult to notice it's window pop up from the background. I also attached another screenshot to show the drop shadow i am talking about.
View 3 Replies View RelatedHere is a segment from a script (the script is complicated so I'll just post the problem)
Code:
echo "sudo mount -o loop $eFile $eMount" > syntax.txt
sudo mount -o loop $eFile $eMount &> error.log
For debugging, I have the first line that echoes back the command being run (so I can find obvious syntax errors) and the second line runs the command.
The first line returns:
Code:
sudo mount -o loop /home/abigail.dunning/Training/1994-2010 Linux Journal Master Collection.iso /media/iso/1994-2010 Linux Journal Master Collection
If this line is cut and pasted into a bash shell it runs and the mount occurs fine.
However, this is being run in a nautilus script and the output of the same mount command is the syntax for mount?
Code:
# contents of error.log
Usage: mount -V : print version
mount -h : print this help
mount : list mounted filesystems

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?

Got a Dell GX280, and it is not seeing any usb drives.

Since a couple of days back mostly all the folders and files I had on my download directory are not visible in Nautilus. Some of them are still there, but the majority it's like vanished. The folder is where everything I download with Transmission goes into. The tricky thing is that all those files are visible through the terminal, pcman file manager or konqueror, but not Nautilus, which is very annoying. I've tried reinstalling Nautilus from Synaptic, checking the 'show hidden files' option, checking and changing files and folder permissions and I also checked that there's no hidden instance of Nautilus running. I have Ubuntu 10.04 (upgraded from a 9.10) and the files are on a ext4 drive. Nautilus version is 2.30.1
