I keep getting "Starting File Manager" flashing on and off on the bottom tool bar in Ubuntu 10.04. The icons on my desktop keep blinking on and off and I can't access any folders! It happened after saving an SVG file to my desktop in Inkscape. Not sure that's anything to do with it. I rebooted twice and it is continuing to do the same thing.
View 4 RepliesIs there a way to identify and close a given instance of an open nautilus window from a command line?
Or can one identify via a command line that a given instance is open?
I'd like to tag one when it is open with a specific title and then if that is already open not open it again all from the command line.
I installed the two-panel Nautilus version to Karmic and it added a "start_with_extra_panel" key to gconf. Now, after an upgrade to Lucid, the key is still there but it has no mapping. So, is there a way to tell Nautilus to always start with two panels in Lucid? Also, how hard is it to replace the current version of Nautilus with the one from ppa:berndth/ppa as I really like that one?

Is there a way to automatically have Nautilus start up in a specific folder? I run it out of the desktop not out of terminal.

All went fine, everything appears to be running smoothly.. but I can't get the wireless working! All it does is ask for the WPA/WPA2-Personal key repeatedly. I know I've got the code right, as I've typed it whilst "Show Characters" is on multiple times. Every time I enter it, the networking icon looks as though it's working, and then after a moment it'll ask me again.

Im running Ubuntu 10.04 with the latest updates and im connecting from windows xp using tortisesvn.When I do svn+ssh//Connection_name/var/svn/repoI can connect just fine. The problem is that im asked 3 times for my password before the folder will display. I guessing its 3 times because the repo is 3 levels deep. In tortise if I click a folder to go another level deeper im asked for my password again. "Connection_name" is the name of the onnection profile I setup in Putty which is used by tortise via plink. I tried setting up a auth key but that didnt help either. If I use putty to open up the "connection_name" ssh connection, im only asked once for my password and can operate as normally expected.

It is also repeatedly asking for me to re-input the WEP Key despite it being correct and always automatically inputted.

I've been looking around for hours on the Internet to try and find a solution but to no avail, even though people do seem to experience similar problems.
I recently installed Ubuntu (the full version). I liked Wubi a lot, but that's because I just had to press down and enter during startup. After uninstalling it, I went to the full version, but that's been giving me more trouble than Wubi, lol.
First, it replaced my Windows Boot Manager with GRUB (which IMO sucks because it takes like 15 seconds to load the menu and it lags when you want to press an arrow key). Second, it screwed up my Windows (the first time I started up Windows I got like 50 lines of errors and after that I had to do the disk check thing but now it works). I use Vista x32, and when I try to boot into Windows it gets to the (C)Microsoft with the green loading bars thing and after about 5-10 seconds my computer randomly (without warning, the screen just turns black) restarts. Goes back to the BIOS menu, a full restart.
My first priority is to get Windows fully running without restarts during boot time. Then I'd like to use Windows boot manager to start Ubuntu (I checked with EasyBCD, Ubuntu doesn't show in WBM.
Oh BTW, dual-booting ubuntu 10.04 and WinVista SP2.
I did a clean install of 10.10 just under a week ago and something is really wrong with my wired connection. I keep loosing all connectivity and have to connect again from the panel app. After that, every thing works again for about 30 to 60 seconds and the the connection goes again. No lost connection notification pop up or anything like that, but i cannot browse the web or download upgrades while the connection is gone.
Then the really weird part. Sometimes my connection works just fine. On some boots everything is fine for a long time (hours?) but then the problem comes back. My network card is an Intel 82567LF-2 and it uses the e1000e kernel module. I dual boot to Windows Server 2008 R2 and there I have full connectivity all the time.
Every time I go to start up my system, it asks me for my video type and says the video type '31b' is not a recognized video type. Another important thing to note is that I just recently had to do a fsck after my system refused to boot out of nowhere. Most other things on the computer run fine except that Compiz or Emerald will crash slightly more often, but can be fixed by reloading the window manager. Compiz and Emerald did crash every so often before the fsck, so it is not that out of the ordinary.

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 5 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu on an old desktop last night and am having some problems with my wireless connection.I've searched around a bit and tried a few solutions but nothing seems to be working so hopefully someone can help. I'm using a Netgear WG111v3 wireless USB adapter and am attempting to connect to a Sky Broadband modem, the connection shows up in the list of avaliable networks after clicking on the network symbol and after attempting to connect for a while it then asks for the WPA password.
I enter the password and then this repeats over and over again continuously asking for the password and me continuously entering it. I know the password is correct as I'm using it on my laptop and other home computer right now.I've tried connecting to a hidden wireless network and inserting the network name and password as some have suggested and I've also tried adding the details from my router into the connection; so that I have manually entered the information rather than automatically finding it, this also hasn't worked.I should probably add that earlier today I seemingly randomly got connected and then managed to run some updates but since then it has disconnected and the same problem is repeating over and over. Sorry if thats quite a long explanation but I thought I'd try and make it as clear as possible,
I need to play a info movie on a monitor through VGA. When done, then re-start the movie and continue to run it, forever. How do i do this? If I install a ubuntu 10.04 server, or a very stripped down ubuntu version (i dont know one) then how do I setup VLC to do what I want it to? All I can find is stuff about streaming over a network, and nothing on how to stream (local) over vga.

Once and awhile, my monitor goes into standby when this happens, but if I turn the LCD (a Dell 2007FP) off and back on, the display is back. This happens when using the internal LCD at 1280x800 or my external monitor hooked up via E-Dock.

My wireless connection ran without issue when I ran Ubuntu 9.x on a windows dual boot loader. Liking Ubuntu, I wiped the system and installed a 10.10 with no dual boot. After the upgrade, my wireless connection is no longer reliable.
Wireless seems to stay connected when traffic volumes are low. As soon as any significant traffic is generated such as a download, torrent or video stream, the network disconnects. Disabling and re-enabling the connection at the GUI recovers the connection. Disconnect can be generated on demand.
If I can somehow roll back to the 9.x network setup I was running. Unclear to me (n00b) if the windows dual boot was impacting that setup or not.

I just upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 because I was facing internet problems with previous Ubuntu 9.04 after I upgraded it with downloaded software. And now, 10.10 connects to wireless, but shows web-page some-times and repeatedly disconnects. Earlier it wasn't reaching Internet at all. Some of the topics here helped a lot. But this intermittent internet seems not going anywhere. Wired Internet connects easily though.
I've tried :-
-disabling ipv6..... first in Firefox, then in Kernel also
-Setting DNS.....System> Preferences> Network Connections
-setting static Ip
The system still gives trouble.

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).

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.
