Ubuntu :: Uncontrolled "Starting File Manager"?
Oct 22, 2010
I am not sure what the problem is with Ubuntu (could be operator) but I dont make any changes to the system just the updates. Heres the low down. I was running 10.04 and somehow out of the blue it wouldnt boot up so I get unetbootin usb with 10.10 and do a fresh install and right off the bat 2 things are wrong 1.) the gnome icons are corrupt so i reinstall them 2.) I get infinite "Starting File Manager" windows opening. Everytime I restart or startup the same thing. I have to killall nautilus in terminal on start up. I also can not right click on the desktop and trying to open nautilus after the fact is useless.

I 'installed' Fedora12 nine days ago. Everything went smoothly until I booted-up today when I got a message in the top right corner of the desktop saying "WARNING, A CRASH PACKAGE NAUTILUS - 2.28.1 - 2 FC12 HAS BEEN DETECTED."All my icons have disappeared from the desktop.In the tool bar I have a continuous row of moving identical icons for "Starting File Manager".

I have a problem with 'Starting File Manager' completeley filling my taskbar on startup.There could be 100 of them for all I know, as the taskbar ends up dividing into tiny slices for each.How do I find out what is causing this? Is there a log file I can check or some way to repair ubuntu off the Live CD?Recently installed some updates. Last night tried reinstalling Nautilus and Gnome (did that with commands from Ctrl Alt F1 ) but that has not helped.I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (64bit)Dell Inspiron 530I'm no Ubuntu / Linux expert, but I can try to find any info / logs required

I don't know what I did differently before this happens. Now I cannot access files or see icons on the desktop. The "starting file manager" continuously loops in the bottom panel, continuing to load forever. in the system monitor, if I kill the process "gnome panel", it resets itself, then continues the process. Only thing different I did was install that one thing that gives you System->Preferences->Windows by hitting "yum install control-center-extra".

Not sure where to post this, I am runing 10.04 LTS, 64 bit and things have been great, until..... I activated a Ubuntu One account and once I did, my Ubuntu One folder would immediately close upon opening and my downloads folder would immediately close upon opening. I delt with it, no big deal. So I decided that I need to get my crap off the Ubuntu One account so I downloaded them all from the website onto my desktop. Now none of my folders immediately close upon opening and ever couple seconds my desktop flashes and a windows quickly opens and closes stating "starting file manager".
I found a couple of posts the looked like fixes, but nothing has worked. clicked off show_desktop in gconf-editor which stops the "starting file manager", but does not stop the folder from immediately closing. I also found this, [URL]... but I don't know hoe to apply the patch nor if I should. I have tried some other things, but I cant find the threads again to provide. I believe one was the killall Nautilus then apply Linux Essentials, which I don't think even ran at all.

I have a generic PC (VIA chipset, AMD 1.8 GHz, old NVIDIA card, etc) running Ubuntu 10.04 side-by-side with a Windows XP box. The Ubuntu box can see and mount some of the Windows disks via SAMBA. Recently, I had a little hardware problems with the Ubuntu box but cleaned the fans and reseated cards and things seemed better. Today the Ubuntu box rebooted and when it came back up I could log in OK but then the X11 GUI locked up in a continuous "Starting File Manager" loop. If I click anything the taskbars go away showing only a blank wallpaper screen then the taskbars return but but will recycle if I click on anything. I can reboot in recovery mode and have applied all updates from that screen. The underlying Linux seems to be fine. I can CTRL+ALT+F1 and get a terminal screen that works fine.

Running 10.10. After installing Screenlets from the software center, I opened the screenlets manager to start the GCal widget that I wanted to run. However, when I click start/stop nothing happened. I was hoping that it was something simple so I moved my dock around to see if the widget was starting behind the taskbar or dock, but no such luck. I have the widget layer enabled in compiz, but the screenlet is not showing up there either.. Just a blank screen when I hit F9.
I've installed compiz, conky, compiz-fusion, compiz-plugins-extra and I can see all the options that seem to be necessary for the screenlets to function. I just don't see anything for any of the screenlets when I try to enable them via start/stop....

I'm in the process of installing OpenVAS Manager on 10.04, but when I try to start it nothing happens, no message, nothing. That's quite frustrating, to say the least. And I can't seem to find anyting on the matter when googling.

I installed Plymouth Manager a while ago and have had no problems with it until now. I want to change my splash screen (it's currently set to the Macbuntu one), but it won't start up when clicked on. I have the Screenlet Sysmonitor, and it doesn't even show the process as starting when clicked on as if I did nothing. Running Ubuntu 10.10, Acer Aspire 5520.

I had Ubuntu 10.04 installed and used Gourmet Recipe Manager and all worked fine. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 and after that GRM would not start. I tried to start if from the command line and got the following:
Code:
/usr/share/gourmet/gourmet/backends/db.py:294: SADeprecationWarning: The Binary type has been renamed to LargeBinary.
Column('image',Binary(),**{}),

recently i did a reinstall of debian lenny with gnome. My laptop has the broadcom wireless chip, and went and got the squeeze broadcom-sta deb packages and installed them, following the debian wiki. Everything seems to be running. iwconfig shows lo, eth0 both with no wireless connections and eth2 that seems to be running.My issue seems to be with the wireless configuration with network-manager. I have used this in the past and like it well enough and didn't have any issues with it. But for some reason, it is not working with this installation. It doesn't show up as a panel addition and when i try to command line call it up (nm-applet), the terminal just sits there doing nothing. I try to call it up as root, no dice - gives me the gtk-warning cannot open display issue that a xhost +localhost doesn't fix. Reinstalling network-manager and associated packages didn't work. So, fine, i tried the network monitor applet. I cannot select eth2, but by typing that into the connection name, i get a signal strength % - another indicator to me that the wireless chip is working - and then i'll click on the configure button, i get the root password prompt and nothing at all. I am currently seeing about setting the network up command line style, but the 'ol command line is not a strong point for me and everything i read sets things up differently. Other gui applications that require root privileges like synaptic work fine.

I would like to stop network manager from starting up on boot. I have tried moving
Code:
/etc/init.d/network-manager stop
to rc.local and it did nothing but boot me into the CLI
I have also tried to put
Code:
sudo service network-manager stop and that did nothing also.
After I get network manager to stop on boot up. How do I make it so it will not auto connect to networks? My computer keeps on joining a different network on boot up. And I don't like this as some times I go to my banks website and I am on there network with out realizing it (because of the auto connect) Is there a way to stop this also?

I have upgraded to KDE 4.3.4. Network manager now works but whenever I reboot or tun the computer on I have to start it manually. I have added it in "system settings > autostart", but it has made no difference.

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've tried "rename" off the right context menu in XFE (ver. 1.32.1)
I've tried Krename.
I've tried quoting;
$ mv ' Outlander - 2009.avi' 'Outlander - 2009.avi'
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory
I've tried escaping;
$ mv Outlander - 2009.avi Outlander - 2009.avi
mv: cannot stat ` Outlander - 2009.avi': No such file or directory
I've tried forgetting about it & hoping it will go away...

I am trying to copy all files under directory A to directory B. All files under directory A are starting with dot, for example:
A/.a
A/.b
A/.c
which I found if I use: cp A/* B, always get error:
cp: cannot stat 'A/*': no such file or directory
It seems there is no option for cp as ls to handle entries started with dot

A function by name abc is called in many files. I want to copy all the lines with the function call to an output file.A simple grep on function name doesn't help me as the function call is spanning across multiple lines as follows:
abc(parameter1,
parameter2,
parameter3);
So I want to copy all the three lines (till semicolon) to the output file.The problem is because there are more than 200 calls for the same function and I cannot do it manually

I have upgraded to 11.04 today. I am somewhat dissapointed for various reasons, but my worst problem is the fact that file manager (nautilus, I think?) no longer works. When I try to open a folder, it will display "Opening [folder]..." on the taskbar, but it shortly dissapears and nothing happens. When I log out, something informs me that File Manager is not responding.
