When I go to "/home/scribe/.config/session-state" I see several files that begin with the word "nautilus" and they have various date time stamps that lead me to believe they are snapshots of the nautilus folders I had opened on that day.
Is there an easy way I could "execute" on of those files so it would open up all of the nautilus windows I had opened on a particular day?
Do you know where the Gedit saved sessions are located? In my case I saved a session and titled it 'Redit'. I'd like to backup this 'Redit' file.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using Nautilus file browser in my fedora 11 desktop to browse Samba shares of our servers. Let me explain my problem.
We have two users test1 and test2 who can access Samba shares for downloading and uploading files.
test1 has read only access.
test2 has read/write access.
When I initially connected to the samba share through test1 user through Nautilus file browser I clicked on remember password.
But now when I try to access the share again, its not prompting for password. It is directly taking test1 user's password who doesn't have write access to share.
How to get the password window back to fill test2 username and password.?
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.

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.
what's the difference between Nautilus and Nautilus-Elementary?

Earlier today I logged in successfully and I uninstalled a couple of unused programs (pitivi, evolution, fspot, and another that I can't remember). I then shut down the computer. Later when I booted the computer back up, I was greeted with the usual ubuntu login screen but I noticed that there were no options in the sessions drop-up menu. I entered my login information and pressed enter, and the screen went black, then went back to the login screen again.
I'm using gnome.
I did it in 8.04, my question is when I left (opposite) click the desktop CD/DVD icon and select Copy from the pop-up menu where does the extracted image end up.Its always worked well enough I never worried about it, but today I needed some copies of a DVD a coworker authored that had one of those lame "Stomper" labels stuck on. It was applied off center and made the disk so unbalanced it appeared to read at 1X or less I was expecting an option to save the image but didn't get one. Anyone know if its still on my hard drive somewhere so I can avoid the tedium of ripping it again?

I'm setting up a single stand-alone computer in my classroom to be used by my students at the school where I teach. I've installed Ubuntu, as it smashes Windoze out of the court every time.
I want the students to be able to log on to the computer using just one account: 'Student'. This computer will be attached to a printer so they can type up and print oOfice documents,web pages, etc. However, once they log out, I want any files they might have saved (such as a word processed document) to be removed/deleted from the account so that when another pupil logs on to the 'Student' account they start with a clean slate. I suppose you could call it a sort-of Kiosk account.
How can I get Ubuntu to clear any saved documents on log-out?
For various reasons, I have reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04 three times on my laptop. The 2nd time I reinstalled it, when I would connect to a wireless network, it would say connected but the network manager icon at the top panel said disconnected. What confused me is when I booted up during the 2nd install, it connected to my wireless without a problem. Is wireless info (saved networks, etc) saved in the home directory somewhere??
I didn't have the icon problem the first time, so I thought hmm, I have my stuff backed up, let's try it again except let's format everything this time. The third time I had no issues with the icon saying disconnected. My partitions are split with /root and /home. The first 2 times, I did not format home. The third time I did. Even though the first time I didn't have this issue, I couldn't understand why it popped up the 2nd time. Now that I formatted EVERYTHING, the issue isn't there.
AKA:
1st try - no issues - did not format home.
2nd try - icon says disconnected when connected - did not format home.
3rd try - no issues - formatted everything.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently installed a base system from a 10.10 alternate cd and then selected a few packages to build myself a light install. I'm using lxdm as my login manager (desktop manager) and openbox as my window manager, with lxpanel and nm-applet autostarting after loading openbox. that's it so far.
My problem is that almost any changes I make as a user are not saved. ie I tried to make a wireless network available to all users with network manager but it immediately reverts. I tried to make changes to permissions through the gui 'users and groups' tool, (with i installed visa gnome-system-tools package in synaptic) but all changes are immediately forgotten. I also cannot mount another partition using pcmanfm. I get the response 'authentication is required.' These sound to me like permissions issues. what groups do I need to be a part of? update: I checked my groups and I wasnt a member of any so I googled around for whats normal and added myself. Im now a member of the groups:
Code:adm disk dialout cdrom sudo audio www-data video plugdev games users fuse lpadmin admin netdev But still nothing. changes are not remembered.
i have tightVNCserver running to provide me with a means of working on my machine whilst the wife watches mythTV on the (physical) display.
in 8.04 i used to have "gnome-panel &" as a line in my /home/mike/.vnc/xstartup file, and it worked fine, when i logged in via VNC i had a nice gnome panel to start apps from etc.
since 10.04 this stopped working and i had to change gnome-panel to gnome-session. this works... but now it loads everything up in the VNC window just like it does in my main window. this is a problem because it loads things like mythTV front end and so on... i don't want it to do that in my VNC window.
does anyone know how it might be possible for me to have two different 'types' of gnome session? Settings i change in System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications are common to both my VNC and my physical displays so i can't turn off mythTVfrontend in there to solve the problem.
i'm not sure why gnome-panel stopped working in my xstartup file, but it happened when i upgraded from 8.04 to 10.04. if i try it in the ugly xterm window on VNC i get:
Code:
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":1.0".
** (gnome-panel:26161): WARNING **: Cannot register the panel shell: cannot connect to the session bus. the RANDR stuff i get when i launch gnome-session too so i think its the second bit that's the real problem.
Is it way to have more "guest" sessions (more than one)?

Will it be possible to maintain multiple sessions from Ubuntu?Actually we are working on one open source application and we have setup this application on one of our Ubuntu machine and this would act as a server for other developer's windows machine. Is any utility available(preferable open source) using which we will be able to access the Ubuntu server from all 4-5 developer's Windows machines?
Our requirement will be to access the whole system including console and GUI (same like remotely access) by using different sessions so that all 4-5 developers can start work together on the same Ubuntu machine.
i've been searching for an hour and i have no idea how to list that. the closest thing to what i need is ck-list-sessions, but it doesn't show my freenx display. i need something that would show all my displays running.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI assume that any .desktop file that is found inside code...
but I do not see an entry for it in the list of sessions. The same is true if I go to "System -> Administration -> Login Screen" - I don't see all sessions in the list for the default sessions.
what's going on here? Do I need to tell GDM to go through this list again? I've tried restarting GDM but no success. This is ubuntu 11.04 btw.
