Ubuntu :: Dragging Firefox Url Icon Fails To Create Desktop/shortcut File
Aug 16, 2011
I'm trying to create a web shortcut (desktop file) by dragging the icon from the Firefox address bar to a Thunar folder or desktop. This worked with older versions of Thunar and Firefox, but now that I'm running Xubuntu Natty (Firefox 5 and Thunar 1.2.1) it fails. Depending on the web site I try, it either creates a file containing the page's html instead of creating a .desktop shortcut file, or fails to create any file at all.

using the command ln -s ~/Desktop ~/.local/share/Trash I get this message.ln: creating symbolic link `/home/denish/.local/share/Trash': File exists But the link isn't in my desktop. So I tried accessing the Trash folder using cd. I cd into ~/.local/share then try the following command.cd Trash I get this message. bash: cd: Trash: No such file or directory When I type ls in the share folder I get the following.
gsettings-data-convert gvfs-metadata Trash
So the trash folder is in there but i can't access it. Why? Also I want a computer shortcut in my desktop like in windows where I can access all the folders from.

I just installed Kubuntu with my ubuntu install via Synaptic, just to try it out, and so far it's working great, except for one thing: I have no idea how to make a desktop internet shortcut in Rekonq (The default web browser), and I've tried opening a shortcut I made in Firefox, but it opens it Kate! And when I changed what to open it with to Rekonq, I just got an error page in Rekonq!

running a virtual machine with Ubuntu via VMware Player at my Windows XP desktop.Instead of running info utility from the terminal, I would like to run it from the GNOME desktop by double clicking. I first created an icon by using "create launcher...", then I fill "info" for Command. However, there is no response when I double-click this icon

I recently installed a Suse Studio build and trying to customize it. When I login as an ordinary user, there are 2 icons on Gnome desktop (or nautilus); Home and Trash. These appear to be undeleteable and I want an undeleteable Firefox icon on my desktop as well. When I create a Firefox shortcut; it can be deleted no matter what I do; i.e. giving read-only permissions or chown to root. So, I think these desktop icons are different than ordinary app

I've used this approach to install Firefox 3.0.1 on my stock EEE PC, which has worked very well. I've since downloaded and installed version 3.6.12 for Linux, and I can start it up through the terminal with the command ~/firefox/firefox However, I can't start up 3.6.12 using the desktop icon; instead, it reverts back to version 3.0.1. How can I get the desktop icon to start 3.6.12?

I want to insert a CD-ROM and have it automatically be mounted to someplace like /media/cdrom and create an icon on the Gnome desktop, while logged in as a non-root user under SLED 11.
How can I accomplish this?

As you probably noticed, the "Light" themes (Ambiance and Radiance) as well as quite a few other gtk themes now enable moving windows by grabbing the menubar, which is quite useful with the unified titlebar/menubar style of certain themes.
So does anyone know of any way I can force Firefox to behave the same way.
I would prefer to do it through userChrome.css rather than adding an extension but whatever works.
Firefox is the only non-gtk app I use extensively so I'm not too bothered about any other apps that don't follow the behaviour.

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, downloaded Adobe reader '.bin', from the terminal
It extracted and asked me for a installation location, to which i put [~]
It then finished the installation.
But when i click on the icon in the start menu or on desktop it fails to start, when i also click on a .pdf document it also fails to start!

For what its worth: Probably mentioned someplace but I did not find it.
I am using 11.04 64 with the Classic desktop. I found that dragging windows was terrible rough. Consumed CPU when dragged.
I loaded CompizConfig Settings Manager. Go to the bottom where the 'Work Arounds' are. Enable 'Don't wait for video sync'.
Made a huge difference for me. Able to make it look and work like 10.10 for the most part. But I like a clean old Gnome look and feel.

Since I have upgraded to to 10.10, I've noticed that I can no longer drag programs to another desktop. Somehow this setting must have been disabled. How does one reactive this setting? (I'm guessing its Compiz related...)

I just downloaded flock browser as a tar.bz2 file. I extracted into a drive other than home in my pc. Then in system>preferences>main menu, I created a new item under menu>applications>internet and pointed to "flock-browser". The application works fine but I don't get that flock icon in the menu. Is there any way to get it? Its actually present in "icons" folder inside the flock folder.

Is there some way that I can change the icon for a shortcut on the panel at the top of my desktop? I'm running Photoshop CS4 in Wine but I couldn't install it so I just copied the program files folder from my Windows 7 installation. Then, I just just drag-and-dropped Photoshop.exe on the panel, creating a shortcut to it. However, this will just show a generic icon for an executable file.

As an absolute novice I am finding it difficult to understand Linux. There seem to be FAR too many variables to get a grip on how thing work. Anyway, I am trying to find out how to create a "desktop" shortcut icon which will open fbreader for ebooks. I have tried searching for the answer but keep running into "gnome" "kde" "Ubuntu" "debian(which might be relevant)" etc. My AsusEee 701 4G Surf runs Xandros.

I removed my top panel with the menu (applications, places, system) because all icons were on the wrong place. Then I restored the panel and all applets I'm using, but when I log in to Emesene, the shortcut icon is not showing up. Does anyone know how to restore the Emesene shortcut icon?

I tried xdg-desktop-icon command. It does install a shortcut. The shortcut works when double clicked. But the shortcut is shown as a standard icon, not the icon defined in the .desktop file. Do I miss something?

I turned my home PC running Ubuntu 10.04 into a server, and so i am so lost, after reading like a 10-20 different guides and/or official docs, I am totally lost.
All I wanted was to create a custom 404 error page...i read about how people edited .htaccess files to customize error pages, i tried and failed also, editing apache2.conf, I got lost and i dont wanna mess up everything and also, how you're supposed to not touch either of those as its not how it should be done and instead you need to edit httpd.conf and i did and FAILED! again...
Also how do I make it so that I can make subdomain(s) on my site? and wth is a name server and where do I get one?
