I would like to add an emblem to a file/folder via terminal. The idea is to be able to select certain folders/files via nautilus and then using a nautilus-script, add a predefined emblem to them. Is there any way to do this?
View 1 RepliesDoes Unity have a symbol or emblem? I know Gnome has the little foot with "gnome", but does unity have one of those? If not, can we make one? I propose we/I make a thread were people post their own ideas for a symbol. If one becomes popular should we adopt it?
View 4 Replies View Relatedi want to backup some of my personal settings. for work i used emblems in nautilus to flag files i already processed (manually). now, i do not find any possiblity to back up the emblem-assignments. from older threads i figured out, that these assignments were in an .xml file in the ~/.nautilus/metadata folder, which is empty since newer versions of nautilus.i also tried to get some useful information out of the
.local/share/gvfs-metadata/* files, but i did not succeed with this approach either (just used the "strings" command on them).edit: i'm aware, that i could write a script reading the metadata of the files via gvfs-info. the problem is, i cannot access the files from home, only at work via windows share.
Is it possible to remove the "ubuntuone-synchronized" emblem from files and folders that are being synchronized with Ubuntu One? Seeing the check mark on all my files and folders is just really annoying and distracts from the thumbnail preview that nautilus provides.I've tried going into folder properties -> emblems and de-selecting the emblem but it won't let me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm just curious as to if anybody has figured out a way to hack the ability to add a background and/or pattern for Nautilus while in List view. As it stands now, it won't work while in List view. Sadly, that's the only view I ever use, and so I always have the boring white background. I would love a brushed metal look or something.

I am using pcmanfm.I connect to internet using wvdial.I know that if I write a command in a text file and give it .sh extension and make it executable, then whenever I'll click that file the command will run.In nautilus you have the privilege that when you click a file you can select whether you will run it in terminal or display the contents or just run.But in pcmanfm or konqueror you do not get that option. I want that I will make a file named wvdial.sh and In the file the command wvdial will be written.When I will click it ,gnome-terminal will open and wvdial will run.Please tell me how I can do this with other file managers like pcmanfm or konqueror.know that if I give this command in terminal:./wvdial.sh it will run

View 6 Replies View RelatedI would like to capture all output spewed to a terminal session including processes that are terminated that were invoked from a script running in a terminal window. this is beyond capturing just stderr and stdout . for example
{
./script
} 2> stderr.cap 1>stdout.cap
if script is terminated (including because of memory violations) I get spewed output to the terminal I would like to capture that spewing to a file automatically or to a bit bucket /dev/null Is there another filehandle which can be redirected to do this? If so how or is there another way???
I have some output on the console on the gnome-terminal.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWell i downloaded a program with many .deb files ( At least 15 ) so i wanna execute them all trough the terminal so i typed
Code:
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~$ cd /home/patowlmc/Downloads/i386
patowlmc@patowlmc-desktop:~/Downloads/i386$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Readme.deb: command not found
As you can see all files in the folder are .deb packages, but one: The Readme file, wich is a text file.
I know I just have to move the file to somewhere else, and everything should work, but i wanna know if there's a command for excluding a file or something.
P.D. I totally trust the program, so don't worry about so many .deb files.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI sometimes stick my neck out and provide somewhat detailed, and often risky, "Mr-fix-it" remedies for boot problems. Now, I know it's possible to amend each command with "whatever_command > whatever.txt" in which case it'll place the command output in a file in /home.
But if you're directing someone to run a lot of commands as I did here is it possible to save the output of all commands to a .txt file without amending each command?
Or is it already saved somewhere that I'm not yet aware of? I wouldn't be surprised if the latter were true, I just haven't yet found it

View 2 Replies View RelatedOccasionally Ubuntu runs a file check, and I assume repair if necessary, at start-up. what do I type into Terminal if I want to run a file check without waiting for the automatic file check to start? The reason I ask is that my system wouldn't boot last week and after several attempts to reboot, the automatic file check came into play and corrected whatever was wrong. This process of rebooting my system several times before Ubuntu fixed itself was very time consuming and frustrating. I dare say that there is a command line to trigger this file check.

I want to change the Alt+F key in terminal to not access thefile menu (can't think of what it is called but File, Edit, View, etc...at the top). Alt is bound to access the first letter of the names in the file menus. This eliminates the Alt+F shortcut to move forward a word. I don't even mind so much if I permanently remove the alt binding to access the file menus.
