Ubuntu :: Need Another File Manager Feature / Add-on Or Replacement?
Nov 30, 2010
I'm running Nautilus in standard Ubuntu 10.10, but it lacks a feature that is very important for my usage. If there is a modification for Nautilus, that would be best, if there is another Linux file manager that provides the feature,When I save a file in a directory by starting to type what I want to name the file in the Windows file manager, at least from XP to current, then a list pops up below the typing line with a list of the files that match that string of characters. I don't know if or how Nautilus can be made to do this.
Why important: I use a Firefox add-on to download songs from some internet radio websites. Because I download so many, I follow the naming convention ARTIST- ALBUM- SONG. Because I've already got over 4000 songs so downloaded, I usually don't know if, when I hear a song, whether I've already downloaded it or not. By having the feature, I just start typing to name the file, and I quickly discover if I already have the song so I can skip the song until I get to one I have not downloaded.

Is this a Bug or a Feature? I have 8.04 LTS installed on several systems. "/etc/update-manager/release-updates" contains "Prompt=lts" In the Graphic menu "System->Administration->Software Sources" under the "Updates" tab for the "Release Upgrade" option I have "Long Term Releases Only" Both of these indicate to me that "update-manager" should show me new LTS releases. Then why doesn't "update-manager" notify me that a new LTS release is available? "ATL-F2" "update-manager -d" shows the new release.
All I can conclude is that in order to show new releases "update-manager" requires the "-d" option but the default menu doesn't include it. That seems like a bug to me for software that is supposed to "just work". Is there any way to add that option to the "launcher"?

I have Soad Linux installed. E17 environment really works fast for me. But I have a question, how do the one make window manager to be more feature filled? For example other e17 Linux distributions has a full path of file directory on the window tools frame so you can simply click on any directory from this list like "Home/Media/Movies" and you are brought back to the selected directory (Home for example). I managed to find how to enable it, but that section of windows manager doesn;t seem to work well, it is too small horizontally so in order to see other directories the one has to click small arrows and scroll. Resizing doens;t allow to make it bigger, how could I fix that?.
Also how do the one make the mounted mediums list on the left, similar like in gnome windows manager? I found a control panel which lets you choose between KDE, Gnome and LXDE (I think) for e17 But changing between them doesn't seem to change anything. Yes I rebooted the pc so it could take the effect, but no changes were made.

Does anyone know what happened to the Multiseat feature that had been in the feature list at one point?To briefly summarise, a single machine with multiple graphics cards, sound cards, keyboards & mice provides multiple seats for users. Each user gets their own monitor, keyboard, mouse & perhaps audio. The rest of the machine resources are then shared.
The last I saw on the topic was this discussion, although I have a recollection that there was going to be support in a newer version of X.Org. I've googled around quite a bit, but can't seem to find anything.
Anybody know anything? It would be a great feature to have and it's frustrating to have had such an omission since F8 :-o

What is the vim command I have to use when I want to perform a text substitution not on the current line or on the whole document or on lines from number x to number y but just from the current cursor position down to the end (or up to the beginning) of the document?

Non-root user cannot launch "shortcuts" (sorry I grew up on windows, don't know the right term) from the file manager or plasma desktop manager.They have full permissions to the shortcuts, even ones they create do not work.If I log in with root permissions they work fine

I have recently switched to using LXDE on my PC and I am on the whole pretty pleased with it. However,PCMan is giving me a really odd problem. Some of the files/folders are being displayed in the wrong order where they contain numbers. They are being ordered by their first digit not the whole number.

I am going to be given an old "piece of junk" and would like to turn it into a speedy little "toy" to use for things, along with my os x and xp.The computer has windows 98 installed and only has 32MB RAM (could be 64, not sure until im given it) and a 1gig HDD. It also has a CD drive and a Floppy.I would like to speed it to the max, to make it perform (in comparison) as nearly as good as my mac. eg. when apps are opened, they only take a few seconds to pop up. I am looking at Linux distros but am struggling to find one suitable.
I was thinking of Puppy but DSL would probably be more suitable.I would like some recommendations to whether I should give windows a fresh install and try to delete whatever is unnecessary, or just clear it and download a linux and use WINE.

I've been seeing a lot of posts on Plymouth and I was wondering a few things:
1) What exactly is Plymouth supposed to do? Is it supposed to make a fancy splash screen to replace the scrolling Kernel messages (Which is now just a blinking cursor at the top left), and for that matter...
2) Is it supposed to replace bootlogd (Which has been deprecated - by what, who knows?)? I've seen something about "Plymouth Logger" when I was running the updates on Lucid but I'm not sure how it's supposed to work.
3) I do see a splash screen for Kubuntu when I log off, is the same one supposed to be there when the computer is booting. Also is anyone here familiar with Backtrack? In Backtrack when you boot, you get a splash of the Remote Exploit logo, but in the middle there's a box with the kernel boot messages. Can something similar be implemented in Kubuntu? (Forgive my noobishness)
4) If indeed Plymouth has replaced bootlogd as the boot time logger, will it also fix the problem of incomplete boot logs that existed with bootlogd (And spare us from having to use serial consoles in order to check what modules or drivers are failing at boot time so we can optimize our kernels).

I am looking for a FTP server replacement that is web based. Something like you see services have out there. I looked at a product called SynaMan from Synametrics Technologies and it really looked like it would do what I wanted but I could never get it to work with Ubuntu.Does anyone have any suggestions. This is for corporate use.Average users just don't get FTP

There are two things that evince does not do that I need it to do:
1) In dual page viewing mode, it needs to know what to do with the first page. Sometimes the first page is a cover, and sometimes it is not. The facing pages are not correct if the first page is not a cover page, then evince does not place the facing pages on the same screen for me
2) I want to view pages using the best fit mode. I then click on a page in the side pane and the document suddenly changes back to fit page width mode. The "save current settings ad default" does nothing
Because of this, I would like either a fix or a recommendation for a better pdf reader.

I had a Huawei e1752c O2 Mobile Broadband dongle working fine in Ubuntu 9.04 using usb_modeswitch, with settings taken from After renewing an annual O2 contract, I have a new e1752c and it does not work in Ubuntu 9.04, even after installing the latest usb_modeswitch package and data. The new dongle does work perfectly on an identical laptop that has Ubuntu 10.04 with a freshly installed Network Manager and usb_modeswitch.I am guessing that there is a rule (udev or whatever) hanging over from somewhere that needs deleting, but I don't know where to look, and don't see any useful error messages - the device lists as Vendor 12d1, Product 1446 before and after usb_modeswitch runs, but becomes Product 140c in the Ubuntu 10.04 system.

present we have a folder shared between branches (Approx 10G of data) and we're using Windows 2003 with DFS but this has had a number of issues and thus is scheduled to be replaced with a Linux solution for various reasons.I would need a scalable system that will allow me to start off with 5 servers each having a samba?hare to Windows pc's. The 5 servers though must replicate any changes made to the folder. So if server 1 received a new file, it should replicate the change to servers 2-5 etc... Ideally I would also like the shares to allow for AD based permissions.Can anyone recommend a way forward with this? I am currently looking into GlusterFS and lsyncd as two options for the replication

I love foobar 2000 but I'm always trying to shy away from windows apps. What are your recommendations as "good" replacements for foobar 2000? So far I have tried:
Amarok - Crashes all the time, and keeps saying it can't play mp3s. Used to love this app, but seems broken for me now. Even if I reinstall it.
Rhythmbox - Great, but reports the wrong bitrate on all my songs. It is very important for me to know the correct bitrate for uploading to certain sites.
Audacious - Way to simple and winamp like.
Bangarang - No.

I have been trying to figure out a way to use a usb flash drive as a substitute for an ipod in my car... I have a female usb plug for the data, but it will not take a regular flash drive.
So, here is my plan. I want to take a flash drive and use a linux ipod interface program to populate it with both the mp3s but also the other itunes crap. Has anyone done this or something like it before?

The on-board NIC on my machine died this morning, so I've just gone out and bought a replacement PCI card. The card has been recognised by Karmic, but it's not working. /var/log/messages says:
Code:
May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082324] r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 2.3LK-NAPI loaded
May 9 11:21:58 ian-desktop kernel: [ 2.082334] r8169 0000:04:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 18 (level, low) -> IRQ 18
[Code]....
how I install the appropriate driver (noting that I have to sneakernet files across via usb stick), or any other diagnostics I should try?
