Ubuntu :: Configure File & Folders / Applications Objects To Display
May 18, 2011
It functions perfectly well, but the Files & Folders object has as a feature a 'recent' section which displays recently opened files. This is much the same as a menu object available in Gnome, except with the latter you could clear recent files for security or privacy purposes - you cannot do this in Unit.I have found that if you drag a file from the 'recent' section in the Unity Files & Folders object to Trash it doesn't just delete the shortcut - it deletes the target as well.
It is not at all clear if and how you can configure the File & Folders and the Applications objects to display what you want rather than the default, and the inability to quickly and safely clear recently opened items is something I think is in need of a fix.

I wanted to know how to determine the encoding of a file which was uploaded by FTP. I found the thread /newbie/47637-how-check-encoding-text.html which points to the right information (by using the command file) but it doesn't help me in my case. Take a look yourself:Code: # file testutf8.phptestutf8.php: PHP script text As you see, Linux (Debian Lenny in my case) detects the file as PHP script text because of the code within the file (that's my guess at least).Is there another way to check how this file was encoded?

I just started using ubuntu and I have a question, is it possbile to install applications on the /media/ folders. That would be the other partitions of my hard drive, and still integrate it with the ubuntu, make it appear on the menu etc.I feel like my linux partition is running out, since I've only put few gb on it and my dvd rom is dead so I can't use gparted to edit the partition.

how can i remove 'applications' and 'files and folders' launchers from unity in Ubuntu 11.04? Because applications and files and folders are already accessible from typing in the search box which gets opened clicking the top most left button.

We have several production machines serving our static content. I want an automatic operation where I would only need to upload to one of them and it will get replicated/mirrored to all machines.Either that or distribute automatically from local source to all machines. First option is obviously better since all machines reside on same LAN and remote to our office.
Another feature I am looking for is to get a full report on what got transferred and if any problems occurred immediately (since usually these deployments can mean downtime for us). Looking around I saw rsync.Using CentOS 5.4-5.5 btw.

I have a 3TB home server storing all my files and a mix of XP, Vista & Ubuntu clients on a Gigabit network. When I access a folder with JPEG photos on the XP or Vista machines and I have them set to display thumbnails that is exactly what I get. The thumbnails load nice and fast. When I access the same folders on the Ubuntu machines with "icon view" it only displays a black icon that says "JPG" but if I copy that folder over to a local drive on the Ubuntu machines then the thumbs display just fine. Does anyone have any idea how to change this on the Ubuntu machines so they load thumbnails for networked photos as well?

My partner is visually impaired and I have been having a close look at Unity as it could be of assistance to her. Using the dash opens the shortcuts and the display is looking good but at times cluttered. Ideally I would like to be able to arrange things that when she opens up the various section that interest her that only the installed programmes are displayed. I intend to ensure that everything of interest to her is loaded so apps available for download are of no interest and I would wish to have them removed from view.
the most frequently used items will end up automatically displayed and will be easily available to her but in the initial stages having so many items displayed only confuses. What would be the best approach to tackle the problem bearing in mind that I no doubt at times will have to go into her system and correct the odd foul up caused by her disabilities of which vision is one. Ideally I would like to reduce the all applications list so that it only displays the items of interest.
For my own benefit can you advise how I may install the ttf-mscorefonts in order that I can transfer my various templates over from my system as we share certain items. I am only wishing a couple of fonts and found that one could be freely downloaded from Fontmatics. They say that I should be able to copy the .ttf into fonts:.

I have a karmic server and a separate karmic desktop (laptop). I want to run a few gui applications from the server to my desktop so they will be centralized. I can successfully ssh to my server from the laptop, but getting the gui stuff launched from the server to display on my laptop is where I am hitting a wall. I did:
$ ssh -Y knipknup@192.168.1.3
enter password
and I get:
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/knipknup/.Xauthority
I also did :
$ sudo chmod -v 777 /home/knipknup/.Xauthority
and that results in the same message.

how to configure it. What I am trying to is this: I have a departmental folder housing two sub folders. The permissions on the parent folder for the department are 770 and the users from that department are all in a group based on their departments name.
One of the users who is granted access as a member of the group needs to be denided access to one of the two sub folders. How do I allow all users in the department into the first folder (this works already) but at the same time allow all but one into the second folder?

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 with current updates. I installed MS Office 2007 suite using WINE - the other users are not comfortable with OpenOffice. There are no issues with the installation, but it is in my user home path so it doesn't appear in the WINE config when I log in as another user. Should I start over with a generic user account and re-install Office/ WINE under that user?

I found a tool made for Ubuntu called Xautoclick. I downloaded it and it is called "xautoclick-0.30.tar.gz" The installation notes say "tallatBe sure you have the proper development packages for your distribution installed (i.e. something like xserver-xorg-dev, gtk2-dev, et cetera). After that, run:
./configure make sudo make install" I have no clue what to do... I typed in "./configure" in the terminal and it says "bash: ./configure: No such file or directory?

Running Jessie 8.2 and Icedove 38.4.0. I just applied some updates and now Icedove only displays the number of unread messages in the folders.
Previously, it displayed the number of unread and the total number of messages in neat columns. Now it is a single number of unread in parens.
Is there any way I can get the display back to the previous format of unread# and total#?

How would i write a script to display permission on each folders in $PATH variable below format.
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 root 4096 Nov 24 14:51 /usr/kerberos/sbin

I upgraded to 11.04 about 10 days ago. I have this intermittently weird problem where some of the applications, some of the time, are oversized for the 1024 x 600 display. I can't get to the buttons on the bottom end of the screen, and the window refuses to decrease in size enough so that it all fits on. So far, I've had this problem with Evolution, Pytrainer, Gimp, and another one that escapes my memory.
Has anyone else had this issue? (Except for the Evolution bug, which has been around since 2005 or thereabouts. How on earth is that thing still the default when nobody bothers to fix it up?) how to a workaround? Heck, I don't even know where to go to report this kind of bug.

Looking for a newb-type step by step process for configuring ubuntu to 1) recognize both the onboard video card as well as the PCI graphics card and 2) how to set up three displays with separate desktops (able to mouse-over from screen to screen). So far the 20+ hours searching online has yielded excessively complex instructions, inappropriate instructions, or ancient posts. Is this config even possible? Again, I am learning so the instructions need to be very deliberate. PNY GeForce FX 5200 PCI 256 MB 2 Port VGA + S-Video Graphics Card VCGFX522PEB and an onboard display apdapter (Intel P4 Chipset 845GV).

Karmic 9.10 latest updates
Nvidia GeForce 6150 LE
Nvidia driver 185.18.36
Monitor Acer P205H - 1600x900 native
I can't configure the monitor. and the display.
I've tried with both the built in display configure and the Nvidia one. Can't choose 1600x900 on either one.
I either can't see all the display on the monitor, or it takes on some weird panning mode and looks like the display is about 2500x1500 or something.
Here's the xorg.conf file. Clearly it does not see the new monitor and the modes are wrong. These settings are for the previous monitor. How Can I fix this so that my display works properly? Thanks.
