Ubuntu :: When Go To " Places" And Click On A Folder Videos For Example - The Display Shows "No Images"?
Oct 31, 2010
I have a strange problem that has "Just" appeared. When I go to " Places" and click on a folder Videos for example - the display shows "No Images" however if I click on the image icon - all the videos on file are displayed.If I insert a USB memory stick - open this - ALL my folders are displayed as normal in the side pane.Equally if I go to " Computer " open this - all folders are displayed in the side pane.
I renamed /home to /localhome and I'm getting an error message when I run 'Places->Videos'. The error is: 'Could not open location 'file:///home/<username>/Videos' Error stating file '/home/<username>/Videos: No such file or directory.
I'm using /localhome because /home is used for automounting home directories at my work. I prefer to use a local account rather than the NIS/NFS account.
What do I modify to have this reflect my new home directory location?
Running 10.10 Meerkat gnome desktop, Is it possible to add the App/Places/System menu to the right click on gnome desktop? I have looked around but only found old threads that went no where.
When my laptop boots it successfully mounts the NFS NAS and I get an icon "My NAS" on my dekstop that points to the NAS. If I double click on the icon it opens my file browser and I can browse thru my NAS fodlers.
What I see on the left hand side of the file browser is that I have to entries for My NAS. One of it has a button to shows that it is mounted and the other does not.
If I go to Places I also see 2 entries for "My NAS". One of it takes me to browsing the NAS and if I click on the other it says "Unable to mount ... busy or already mounted". Which makes sense.
When I try to access my personal folder Music by clicking Places>Music I get the Appearance Manager instead, actually if I click on Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, or Downloads the only thing that appears is the Appearance Manager. I cannot find out why this is happening it happened before and I reinstalled Ubuntu, now it has happened again is there any other way to access those folders besides through Places.
i have no problem. But with user2, when i start to read a video file, i have no image, just a black screen.The sound is ok, the time is running normally, but no image. *It tested with vlc and gnome-media-player, it is the same. *I have no error message, when I start the program in a console. *I suspected a permission problem, and i checked all the groups, but i don't see any difference between user1 and user2.
In Lucid I was in the Change deskop Background window When i noticed that the cosmos option was a slide show. is there a way I can make my image slide shows for use as the background?
Until a few days ago [updates perhaps?] I was able to right click on images to save as desktop backgrounds and now suddenly that option is no longer in my right click menu on any image anywhere including my own.
Just installed it on my laptop.Videos are appearing grainy (like boxes)-no sharp images.Should I be considering some video codecs? I am using VLC Player and PS3 Media Server (dlna server)
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and I recently have wanted to start changing some of my taskbar items around. The problem is, when I go to right-click on the taskbar, all I can see are the "Help" and "About" menu options. No preferences, no options to get rid of a taskbar item, no options to add a taskbar item.
I basically am hoping for a line of bash script I can put into "Open With" for folders so I can get a terminal with the right path. I hate manually typing in paths to places when I am looking right at them in nautilus. "gnome-terminal" doesn't work - it just opens a terminal to ~.
I installed "flash-plugin-10.0.32.18-release.i386.rpm" manually to my system in order to let firefox enable watching animated images and video ,but even though firefox still not able to do so. I'm running RHEl 5.
OPENSUSE 11.2 KDE - I love this distro , but a minor problem .......i am using firefox 3.6 version ,firefox doesn't show save window when i right click on a wallpaper or image and then I click save image button, so i have to do "CTRL+S" to save an image.this was an issue with the version 3.5.7 too.i thought upgrading from YaST would solve the problem , but it didn't.GOOGLE CHROME UNSTABLE, KONQUEROR & EPIPHANY BROWSERS DON'T HAVE THIS ISSUE..........
11.3, firefox 3.6.8 and kde 4.4.4 r2. the right-click save image as does not bring up a dialog box. this seems to be an old problem going back to 11.2. have i missed an update or patch to firefox or kde with my 11.3 install?
I've recently discovered a little problem with Firefox: if there are those multiple choice fields with arrows on the side on a webpage, I can click on the arrow but nothing shows up. Check the attached images to see what I mean, does anybody know where this comes from or how to get it to work properly again?
Why does Fedora 11 Gnome have two places to set display attributes, one under System -> Preferences -> Display and the other under System -> Administration -> Display?
When I go to Main Menu>Places, nothing but Computer and Network works correctly. Choosing Main Menu>Places>Downloads, for instance, generates a little disk activity, but never displays a window with the contents of the Downloads directory. In an effort to fix the problem, I just upgraded from 10.4 to 1.10, but the same thing still happens. How do I get the Main Menu>Places icons to display the appropriate windows?
I'm not sure this is the correct place for this post, but since it involves a keyring, I'm making my best guess. Feel free to move it if I am in error. I have had a "tmp" directory appear under Places in the first grouping which contains "Home", "Deaktop", "Documents", etc. When I open this folder I find the attached png file.
When I look for this folder I find it is owned by root, but it appears in what should be my home directories. The only guess I have as to it's origin is that I recently formatted a USB stick as an encrypted device. I don't know if that is when it appeared or not.
Can anyone shed any light on what this folder is, and why it appears where it does? Somehow it just doesn't seem a correct placement.
I have a folder in my Home folder and called "Projects". I want to change the icon of the folder Project so the icon changed in everywhere. In "Places", Open Dialogs, Save Dialogs and Normal View in Nautilus.
What I have done: Change the icon using Right-Click -> Properties -> Basic Tab -> Clicked the current icon and changed it.
But this changed it only in Nautilus. If I added this folder to "Places" it will appear with the Default icon. The same thing if I browsed to it using Open Dialogs or Save Dialogs.
I'm keeping my documents, music, and videos etc. on a separate partition from my home directory, formatted with encrypted fat32 so that I can access it from both my windows and my ubuntu installation. So I've made the folders, transferred the files, and I selected custom icons (by right-click, properties, click on custom icon, then select the file from /usr/share/icons/Humanity/places/4.
So far so good. The problem is that the custom icons don't appear in the Places sidebar in Nautilus or the main Places menu in gnome. It just comes up as a regular folder.
See a screenshot of it here.
Does anyone have an idea/workaround so that I can use my custom icons in the Places menu as well? I have tried it with scalable icons, with no difference. I've also tried looking for a configuration file which might have the details in, but I haven't found it - I suppose this probably has something to do with how the Places menu is automatically generated.
Suddenly, my "Places --> Desktop" folder is identical to my "Places --> Home Folder". This happened by accident somehow, and the folders and files in my Home Folder "/home/rj" are displayed on my desktop, and I don't want them to be.
When I click on "Places --> Desktop" it's as if I've clicked on "Places --> Home Folder" (the "File Browser" directory opens, the location is set at "/home/rj", and the title at the top is "File Browser").
Elementary stuff for a lot of you, I'm sure, but I'm blanking on how the Desktop folder can be restored to what I'd like it to be (basically empty, except for a "Downloads" folder), and my folders and files kept off the actual desktop (except for the "Downloads" folder).
I am having this odd problem since I did a clean install of Maverick. I installed Exaile music player but after that when I click on 'Home folder' (or any subfolder in it) under 'Places' menu Exaile pops up instead.I uninstalled exaile for a while and everything worked fine but reinstalling it caused the same problem again.
So this morning I went to the places menu to open my home folder and it launched the movie maker...
It does that for all of the folders I have listed under places. If I open a mounted partition from my desktop it works fine and launched the file manager.
My latest problem: (Ubuntu 10.04)My "pictures" folder is missing from the "Places" menu. It used to be there....I didn't do anything...but now it's gone. I liked having it there- I can access that folder through "home folder" but it was nice having it where I could get to it with just one click. How can I get it back? (There is no option to edit the places menu in the "edit menus" thingie)
Yesterday I burnt a couple of CD's with Brasero. Project completed successfully. But.. now if I try and open Nautilus and go to any of my folders under Places>Home/Music/Documents, in fact anywhere, it goes straight into Brasero and seems to think I have an uncompleted project. There is also a box open which promts me to rename/not rename for full Windows or Linux comaptabilty. As of right now I cant get rid of Brasero and get to any folders/files.
i have a problem with th home folder button. When I click the button from the drop down ''PLACES'' menu i get this "Error File not found'' but if i go to places>computer>home folder, then it opens. If i type in ''CWD" i get this "/home/piepie''.so the home folder does exist, and if i type /home/piepie is a directory.
