Ubuntu :: Walkman Doesn't Automount In Nautilus 10.04?
May 9, 2010
It worked fine in every other version of Ubuntu, but now when I plug it in, it will appear in the 'devices' section in Rhythmbox, but not anywhere in nautilus. I am using Ubuntu 10.04, with my Sony Walkman (looks like a USB drive with a screen and buttons)
Is this some Apple-like music security feature? is there any way around it?
I want nautilus to automatically mount my external drive when ubuntu 10.04 starts. This drive is encrypted, but the key has already been stored and all I have to do is click on it in my Places menu for it to mount.
It mounts to: /media/Will's Drive
I feel like I shouldn't have to edit fstab or anything like that. If I can add it to my startup programs, that would be great, I just need to know the command to get nautilus to open up /media/Will's Drive at startup.
It seems as though k3b will only recognise my burners when the system first boots for about 5 minutes. Once time is up k3b will not see my burners.. I tried burning a disk using k3b soon as I booted and it lost the drives mid burn.
The drives are ide and I've read about the drivers for cdrdao possibly not being correct but when I check to see if cdrdao sees the drives using command line it does give me both drives. So I assume that is working properly. When a cd is inserted it doesn't automount the cd either. Am I having issues with HAL? or is k3b just that flaky? ISB thumb drives mount fine..I have checked the fstab and there is no mention of cdrom mount points. IS this normal with the newer versions? Is this possibly my issue.. I was under the impression that with HAL the mount points are for ease of use in the fstab.. (not that you could mount a blank cd anyway...)
With the GNOME desktop environment, when I plug in my iPhone, Nautilus automatically mounts it and I can browse and download my photos from it, as though the iPhone were a digital camera. Also the F-Spot auto-run dialog pops up asking if I want to import photos from the iPhone.In XFCE though, plugging in the iPhone doesn't do anything at all, except begin charging the phone. No auto-mounting is done in XFCE, no auto-run dialogs, nothing.
What is different here? Is it possible to get XFCE to auto-mount them? I thought XFCE uses GVFS like GNOME does? This is Fedora 12, by the way, with XFCE 4.6.To be sure it isn't just that XFCE doesn't mount digital camera type devices, I tested it with an actual digital camera that plugs in via USB. Once I connect it to the computer, it auto-mounts, I get a run dialog to import photos and I can browse the photos in Thunar just like I could with Nautilus.So it seems as though the iPhone sort of looks like a digital camera enough that GNOME mounts it as one, but it's just different enough that XFCE doesn't mount it at all.---------- Post added at 01:25 PM CST ---------- Previous post was at 12:03 PM CST ----------Apparently if I run F-Spot manually and go to import photos, it lets me select "Apple iPhone" or something from a source menu and then can import the photos that wa
The first set of links under Places in the menu bar applet open Picasa instead of nautilus and their associated folders.I tried reapplying the applet from the "add to panel" menu. No go. Also when I get into nautilus (using "computer" below the separation line in the places menu) I can access the bookmarks just fine.
Nautlius doesn't show all the files that are in a folder From the screenshots below you can see that there are more files in the folder (ls from the terminal shows them all), however nautilus doesn't. Other .mkv files show up in other folders so its not that
I've tired turning off previews and that didn't work. Running nautilus as root didn't work either
I have a NWZ-e344 Walkman and I'm trying to to get it into mtp mode. I have created a .mpi file that that shows the Walkman as a music device instead of a flashdrive.
While in root account it shows up as a mtp device but not in my regular account how can i get it to read as a mtp device like it does in root in my regular account?
After moving to Lucid Lynx, I've noticed, that when I view Folder Preferences, Nautilus no longer displays the free space available, but instead displays "Free space: Unknown".
In some cases it still appears to show the free space, for example when viewing properties of Home folder, or viewing the properties of a detachable HDD in media-folder (but not when trying to view the properties of any of the folders _on_ that HDD).
i recently purchased a sony walkman nwz-b153f... i can directly create a folder and copy songs, but i want to copy songs in playlists.. like its done for ipods in i tunes... the guide says use windows media player 11 or 12..
I have a problem with the system detecting my Sony Walkman NWZ-S639F. When I plug the device, the player's screen says 'Connecting', however nothing shows up on the laptop screen. When I was running Linux Mint 10, the player connected with no problem, and since Mint 10 is basically Ubuntu 10.10 with extra software, I think that I miss certain software packages.
I have a home network consisting of a Desktop running Windows 7 Ultimate and a laptop running Ubuntu 10.10. Nautilus won't allow me to open Windows shared folders from the browser by just clicking on the icons. That is to say, clicking on Network in the bookmark pane and opening Workgroup doesn't do anything. Sometimes I get a "can not mount: failed to retrieve share list from server" error, sometimes my Windows box just isn't visible at all. All my shared folders on the laptop are visible and rw accessible from the Windows desktop.
I should add that if I hit ctrl-L in Nautilus and manually enter "smb://<server-name>/share/" in the address bar, it mounts and opens the specified folder just fine. I have some of the folders already manually mounted to various locations in fstab.
I've found the issue with Games for Windows Live, and uninstalled that from the Windows computer. I'm not using firewalls on either computer for now to eliminate that as a possibility. Since the Ubuntu Laptop seems to be the one with the problem, I'll focus on that for now.

When you open up a file browser, if there are tons of files in some directory, it will be tedious to locate the desired one mannually. For most of the file browsers, the desired file will be located automatically by obtaining the focus when you type the filename. I don't believe that Nautilus doesn't have this feature.So, there must be something I can configure with. Note that I'm just using the default Nautilus with fresh Ubuntu installation.
Im having a rather bizarre problem with the gnome panel in ubuntu 11.04. When i go to places and try to home folder, desktop, etc with a mouse click, Nautilus does not open. Instead a really old looking program called textedit opens. The only thing that doesnt cause textedit to open is clicking on computer.
Like with OS 11.3 I used Yast software manager to install "nautilus-search-tool" extension to put "search for files" on the context menu of folders. But nothing works, extension doesn't appear on context menu. Is it a bug to be resolved or is there any special issue about?
Got this player just a week ago and Linux have already shown it's dark side. Ubuntu doesn't recognize it.it uses some kind of a getaway which works just fine with Windows Media Player but as soon as I try it on Linux, nothing happens, unless I install Wine, and even then, it just shows the file list .. no way ( Nautilus / Rhythmbox just hangs ) I could remove/add any files.
I have this little problem: when I open a folder with images from my network drive, I can't see the previews of the files.If the folder is on the local drive no issues, but with the remote one... no luck.I checked around for a solution, without results.. do you know if there is a solution for this little issue
All of these freezes happen either while I'm in Nautilus or I'm opening Nautilus. The usual Ctrl+Alt+Fx (x being one to six) to get into the backstage does not work. If I have some music open then it would start looping the last couple of seconds.Now generally I would go check the logs, but I see no nautilus logs so what should I check?This is all pretty recent. I think that this started to happen when one day exim4 (and some packages all marked exim) got updated but I cannot be certain. Major playing-around after that would be some Wine issues but the system froze once before all that Wine fun.So step one, what should I check?
I recently switched my desktop environment from KDE-4.3.4 to GNOME-2.28-2 and I did that by installing most of the gnome-packages and uninstalling pretty much all of the kde-ones. After reboot everything worked fine except the file browser that doesn't seem to care about my feelings. It launches and when I try to kill the process the status changes from sleeping to uninterruptible and then back to sleeping. The only way is to reboot but that isn't a solution.Error while sending message: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
I have recently disabled nautilus from showing up on my desktop. Now I can't seem to start nautilus. Starting it from gnome-terminal doesn't display anything, and it never shows, and it never terminates. The way I disabled nautilus from showing up on my desktop was by following Xmonad/Using xmonad in Gnome - HaskellWiki
I have a Sony Walkman NWZ-S545. I have Rhythmbox 0.12.8. I have a System 76 amd64 computer. I have run Ubuntu (now 10.1) for a couple of years and before that Linspire and haven't had MS Windows for years.
What I want is to be able to simply transfer music files from my computer to the Walkman. Nothing fancy. Drag and drop is fine. (I was hoping that it would be shown on the desktop, that I could open it and access it and drag files to it.)
I looked in Ubuntu help and found: "Ubuntu will work with most portable audio players, including iPods. Normally, all you have to do is plug the player into your computer and then use Rhythmbox to copy songs to and from the player."
When Rhythmbox didn't recognize it and no icon appeared on my computer screen indicating it was plugged in as an external device, I went back to Ubuntu help and found and installed the mtpfs and mtp-tools packages and made sure that the MTV plugin in Rhythmbox was checked. Now Rhythmbox could see the Walkman BUT could not play any songs! And there was no Walkman icon on the desktop.
When I tried to play the 5 sample songs on the Walkman, I got one of these 3 errors: a. Couldn't start playback - no file name specified for reading b. No URI set c. Unable to copy file from MTP device: PTP Layer error 02ff: LIBMTP_Get_Filemetadata(): call to ptp_mtp_getobjectpropssupported() failed.
(BTW, my Rhythmbox setting under preferences - music is for .ogg - can see other options under edit but cannot switch to them. My mp3 songs transferred from my external hard drive to Ryhthmbox beautifully and play just fine)
After further searching, I read I should confirm that libmtp8 was installed and I found that it was.
So I went to Ubuntu Rhythmbox help and read: "If Rhythmbox Music Player does not detect your device as a portable audio player, you can create an empty file named .is_audio_player at the top level hierarchy of the filesystem of your player."
OK - I am stuck here at several levels: 1) Is this what really needs done? 2) If so, how? (I searched ".is_audio_player" and came up with several comments and how-tos, all seeming to involve going into the root directory and inserting an empty file somewhere. First of all, I can't get into my root directory even as the administrator with full privileges! Secondly, I know enough to know that even if I could - I shouldn't!
There's something very annoying about how Nautilus opens "image viewer" windows. They open, I can see them, but when I press the keyboard, it's still Nautilus which gets the commands. This is because Nautilus stays the active window!
Most annoyingly, when I want to have a quick look at an image, and then close it, Nautilus closes instead (Alt+F4).
Does anyone know what I'm talking about? How to solve it?
I have a Sony MP3 player which is a SOK-NWZ-B512F(B) model that couldn't detected by OpenSUSE. I did try on other pen drive which is a Kingston brand, it is detected and a pop-up message mention that I have an USB drive connected.
After upgrading to gnome 2.28.2 and Nautilus 2.28.4, nautilus leaves text file(including .php .jave etc,.) icon blank while it works well with image and pdf files.
