Ubuntu :: Gedit Always Opens A Blank Document?
Nov 25, 2010Any time I'm following a tutorial or guide on something that involves gedit, the files I'm attempting to edit are opened as blank and I can't save them even if they weren't blank because it strangely thinks they aren't there. (see attachments)

May 17, 2010I'm using Fedora 10 with XFCE. Every time I open Gedit, it opens a instance on every workspace. The circle icon on my window border is selected (meaning, enabled on all workspaces). When I disable it to appear on one workspace, then close and restart(program), Gedit opens normal (current workspace). Question is: How to keep this current configuration? If I restart my system, and start up Gedit, it appears on all workspaces again.

Jun 24, 2010gksudo nautilus sets the background to default (Because nautilus is rendering the desktop) I set the gconf key to stop it rendering the desktop, but this only affects the icons. How can I get it to give me back my background? Edit: Fixed the desktop (--no-desktop option on nautilus command) - need to find how to kill the nautilus process automatically when I close it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Grub File Not Found - Try To View The Contents Says Do Not Have The Permissions
Apr 27, 2010I already had ubuntu 32 bit version 9.10. but due to some tool compatibility reason I need even the 64 bit version 9.10. I dint want to delete 32 bit version so I wanted to install both on my system. I have windows vista as well.
So I booted with 64 bit version of Ubuntu, went on with the installation, until the point were it asks to choose the partition. 32 bit version had 16GB allocated and 10GB free. so I thought I will make new 8GB partition from the 10GB free space. So I selected the partition and clicked on change, and specified 8GB and ext4 format and mount point as "/". I clicked on continue and in a few seconds it popped up with an ERROR message, which I can't remember exactly, but it meant to say that it could not make the changes as the disk to which the changes were made is in use. So I should not use it until I reboot. So I rebooted and now I have grub error : file not found and grub rescue> prompt.
I tried to boot with the 64 bit CD again with the option of trying ubuntu without making any changes and it does show the 16 GB partition, but when I mount that partition I do not see any folders in the partition except for a folder named "lost+found". I try to view the contents of this and it says I do not have the permissions.
Ubuntu :: How To Edit The /etc/default/grub File
Oct 22, 2010I've been using 10.04 for a few months without any problems, but today, I tried to boot into Ubuntu and just got a black screen. I tried the tutorial on this site, and it worked.
I have to do this after every reboot unless I edit the /etc/default/grub file (the second part of the tutorial). I'm not sure how to go about doing this since the article is very vague.
Ubuntu :: Default Directory For Gedit?
May 8, 2011I configured the shortcut Alt+G to fire up mini editor gedit, which is fine. But when I press Ctrl+O to open a file, it searches directory /, the very root. While I want it to open automatically in /home/urdata/java/, for instance. The man-page doesn't tell me and the Preferences... inside gedit do not cover it, it seems.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Servers :: /etc/default/grub File Does Not Exist?
Jun 10, 2011Due to a motherboard issue, I need to edit a parameter in the "etc/default/grub" file.
However, the problem is, that file doesn't exist.
Grub does seem to be installed, I can get into grub from the command line etc.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu Server - 10.04.2 LTS
Brand new box, no previous installs of anything, no other operating systems etc.
Is there somewhere else that file could reside ? I tried find -name '*grub*' and got plenty of files, but none are the one that I need.
Is there someway to generate this file ?
I remember when installing from the CD it asking about grub, but I don't recall which option I chose, it was whichever one was the default.
This thing won't reboot right after power loss etc until I can edit that value... which at the moment seems to not exist....
Btw, I'm not a total linux noob but far from an expert, so I may need any answers "dumbed down" a bit.
EDIT (more info):
It seems that I have regular "grub" and not "grub2" installed... I'm assuming that is part of the problem ?
My version: grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
Does this version of grub allow you to edit options etc ?
Specifically, what I need to do, is edit this value: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT
I need to add "reboot=a" to this line.
Ubuntu :: Adding Irqpoll To /etc/default/grub File - Installation 99%?
Mar 14, 2011I have been helped by repo in this post [URL]..Here's a quick resume: I made changes in the grub menu for just one boot I selected the first option Ubuntu with Linux 2.6.35-27-generic edited the Linux /vmlinux ro quiet splash by adding irqpoll to the end. I rebooted and the system booted correctly into the GUI.
I then tried to edit the /etc/default/grub file by booting into the recovery mode, opening a terminal, using command sudo vi /etc/default/grub and adding irqpoll to the end of the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX DEFAULT="quiet splash". Followed by update-grub to update the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file
Unfortunately when I try to reboot I find that the system will not boot and hangs as before on the purple screen after a logon. I know that I have edited the /etc/default/grub file correctly because I have confirmed this by reviewing the file. So my question is why does the "one boot method" work but the edit file method not work ? I must be doing something wrong.

Ubuntu :: FileZilla Not Opening Remote Files And Not Recognising The Default Editor Gedit?
May 26, 2010I just started using FireFTP instead of FileZilla because I got fed up with FileZilla not opening remote files and not recognising the default editor Gedit.
I really want to use keyboard shortcuts with FireFTP, which is possible according to the help docs on-line, but there is no option to use shortcuts anywhere even having enabled FireFTP to open in a new window. I tried it in Shiretoko 3.59 and Firefox 3.18 with no luck.
I just tried removing FileZilla and it does not appear in my list of installed apps. It appears in the full list as uninstalled but when ticking the box to install gives this message. FileZilla FTP client cannot be installed on your computer type (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. I already have FileZilla..so how is that?
Debian Multimedia :: Can't Make Default Paper Size Stick In Gedit?
Jun 1, 2010I am using the Gnome desktop in Lenny 5.03The default Gedit paper size is "US Letter", which is almost right for my HP Laserjet 4L, except that about .5 inch at the top and .25 inch at the left margin are cut off.I have defined a "Custom Size" under File -> Page Setup -> Manage Custom Sizes... with margin settings that solve the problem, but this "Custom Size" only remains the default Paper Size for printing until Gedit is closed.Using what appears to be the same gnome dialog from epiphany and evolution, the Papersize settings stick, but not from Gedit. I cannot locate any configuration file to edit, and nothing in the gconf editor seems to apply.

Ubuntu Installation :: Adjust The Default Setting Via /etc/default/grub?
May 29, 2010I have already had Vista installed on another drive and from what i've read on the webs you get to dualboot if you install ubuntu after vista. when i did install it (i installed on a blank hdd with no partitions, choosing the "erase entire disk" option since for some reason default option was attempting to eat a part of my windows 1 gb drive instead of using disk i specially made for it) and the grub 2 loaded for the first time, there was NO option to run vista. only 2 linux (normal and recovery) and 2 memtests. I've ran linux and went to google this. I found that i should add something to some config files in /etc/grub.d/From reading the readme file i understood i could add my own files that are named like NUMBER_SOMENAME and insert code into them. Because it said:Quote: For example, you can add an entry to boot another OS as01_otheros, 11_otheros, etc, depending on the position you want it to occupy inthe menu; and then adjust the default setting via /etc/default/grub. But then i found a file 40_custom that said:

Ubuntu Installation :: Does Grub Make Copy Of Contents Of MBR?
Feb 26, 2011My system is an Acer Aspire One Happy netbook. It runs Windows 7 OEM. I installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix, which works fine. Unfortunately, I put GRUB in the MBR (I wanted it on Ubuntu partition in order to use Win 7 bootloader). Acer netbooks seem to have a particular MBR (in order to run e-Recovery Management), which is different to the standard Windows 7 MBR.
Moreover, in the internet there are instruction to restore Acer MBR, but they do not seem useful, since I do not find the MBRWRWIN.EXE and RTMBR.BIN files on the hidden partition. Is there a way to tell GRUB to remove itself and restore the previous content of the MBR (something like the old "lilo -u")? Does GRUB make a copy of the content of the MBR before installing itself? Where is it, if it is so?
