I have been testing ubuntu 10.10 maverick, it has some nice features. Anyway I am missing the possibility of writing manually the folder you want to go on nautilus using the Location bar.

Ubuntu :: Move Nautilus Location Bar In Nautilus Up By Toolbar?

Apr 11, 2010

Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic:
http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg

I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.

By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.

I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.

Ubuntu :: Location Bar Stops Working After Opening External Link In Firefox 3.6

Feb 6, 2010

I installed firefox 3.6 from the firefox-stable ppa repository and I noticed that the location bar autocomplete stops working after opening an external link (e.g. clicking a link in evolution or empathy). The problem still occurs when starting firefox in safemode, so it doesn't appear to be related to a misbehaving extension. The problem is only fixed with a browser restart or when I open and then close 'show all history'.

Ubuntu :: Opening Executable From Nautilus

Aug 2, 2010

I'm trying to open an executable called qview (a GUI program) from Nautilus. The overall goal is to open a certain file type with it. If I run from terminal, there's no problem, but when I click on it from Nautilus, it doesn't seem to do anything. I changed the ownership to me, to make sure the permissions were set properly.

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Running But Not Opening

Jul 26, 2011

i just turned my computer on a few minutes ago (turned it off due to a storm), and immediately noticed my desktop icons were gone. so i went to places>desktop, and nautilus failed (and continues to fail) to open. i simply see a waiting cursor and a window tab saying "opening Desktop", and nothing happens. i checked system monitor, and nautilus is running, and its not listed as being unresponsive. when running from the terminal, i get no errors or anything, it just doesnt run. i did see that when i turned on my computer, i got a splash screen saying it was checking my discs for errors, but it only took about 15 seconds and didnt find any errors. also, right clicking on my desktop doesnt do anything, either. not sure what happened.

Ubuntu :: Automate Opening Of Nautilus Windows?

Jul 6, 2010

Every time I start Ubuntu, to enable copying files, I open two Nautilus windows and I then have to drag those windows into the places on the desktop where I'd like them to be. It seems silly to manually do this 800 times a year! Is there any way to automate this? Would a script be able to achieve this?

Ubuntu :: Home Folder Not Opening - Nautilus - UID?

Nov 29, 2010

I am helping a friend with his ubuntu PC, and I reinstalled to go from 8.04 to 10.10. In the process I had reconfigured his home directory to be a separate partition, it all worked ok. Although I did have to do the new install as a new username etc as I think is usual in such cases. I am not *convinced* I sorted all ownerships and permissions out. after the new install, I did change ownership of /home/oldusername contents using chown, which seemed to work ok. I do note that for the old username in the original 8.04 installation the uid was 1000, but the same username in the new installation is 1001

the problem is that nautilus does not start from Places > Home folder all that is seen is a waiting circle, which soon stops. But nautilus *does* start from a user terminal with just nautilus

Ubuntu :: Opening Current Directory In Nautilus From Terminal?

May 20, 2010

Like the title says, I want to be able to open the directory I'm browsing in nautilus.To clarify this, as I barely understand what I said, I'll give an example.

Code:
cd ~/what/ever/this/is/complex/path
Hmmm.... A lot of files in here with long complex names and I only want to move certain ones..... Better open it in nautilus with my handy dandy script/alias!

Ubuntu :: Open Folder Opening Terminal Instead Of Nautilus

Apr 29, 2011

I just upgraded from Maverick 10.10 to 11.04 64-bit and I have the following problem: every program that provides an "open file or folder" function such as synapse -> open folder, firefox downloads open folder, deluge open, instead of opening nautilus in the desired folder (default behavior of 10.10), it just opens a gnome-terminal.

Ubuntu :: Toggle Between Button And Text-based Location Bar Nautilus - Lucid?

May 2, 2010

How do you toggle between the button and text-based location bar in Nautilus in Lucid. I can only get Nautilus to show the directory path as buttons and not as as text based in the form of /home/Desktop.Previously there was a button to toggle between them.

Ubuntu :: Nautilus Location Bar - Switch To Text Mode Button Missing

Jul 1, 2010

I just installed 10.04 on a computer I put together, I noticed the button that allows you to switch back and forth to the 'text entry mode' on the nautilus location bar is missing. Is there a way to get this back? I found you can use CTRL+L or use gconf-editor to switch but I used that button quite a bit and want to find a way to get it back.

Fedora :: F13 - Make Location/address Bar In Nautilus Look Like A String?

May 31, 2010

In Fedora 12/11 there used to be a button in the Nautilus to the left of the address/location bar which would let me switch between two representation of location bar: 1) buttons 2) as string that I can type in.

In Fedora 13 I cannot get the same behaviour. The button is missing and location only shows up as a set of buttons.

I have looked in the settings of Nautilus, but couldn't find anything related to this. How do I get location bar to show up as a string where I can manually type the path?

Ubuntu :: Slow - Opening A Folder Takes A Long Time To Open Nautilus

OpenSUSE :: Nautilus Address Bar Doesn't Show Filesystem Path / Text Location Bar

Aug 22, 2010

I have openSUSE 11.3 Gnome installed. The nautilus address bar shows the "Button Bar" and if I press Ctrl+L it swaps to the "Text Location Bar". The Text Location bar is where you see the full path to the directory that you're viewing.But I can't set the default addressing to the Text Location Bar.What else should I do to get the text location bar (i.e. the full path) to be the default view in the address bar?

Fedora :: Fc14 Amd64 Gnome - Hiding Hidden Files In Dolphin And Showing Full Location In Nautilus?

Apr 4, 2011

Trying the various settings (and noticing ubuntu gnome users recently had the same exact OPPOSITE problem -- they can't SHOW hidden files in dolphin) to hide my hidden files in dolphin is not working. The settings are saved OK, but those damn (ending in tilde, ie "~") files do NOT ever hide! I even see the correct little green recycling symbol on them, indicating they're identified as such, but no actual hiding goes on..

Nautilus, which I've used before (but have grown tired of, and was looking forward to dolphin), also has a weird issue that seems to have appeared with FC13 (I'd been using FC12 'til now mostly because of this) - there's no way (AFAIK) to tell it to show the location; to see it, you have to click Go->Location each time. Previously I could set it to print out the whole file or server path and it would stay that way when I opened new windows.. This is on fresh install & update.. kernel is 2.6.35.11-83.fc14.x86_64.

General :: SMB Share Access In GUI But Not In Cmdline?

Jul 2, 2010

I have a Debian Etch system. From the Gnome file manager, I can easily browse to SMB file shares on the network. So the SMB redirector is apparently present on the system.

Question - how do I access SMB shares from the command line? smbmount command is not available, trying to cd into a smb://... path gives a "No such file" error. I'm not looking for a persistent mapping, just a brief look. Better yet if root access is not necessary.

Ubuntu :: Screen Flickering After Opening Laptop

Whenever i close and then open the lid of my Compaq nc6220 laptop the screen will flicker when actions are made like moving the mouse, opening a program or typing. This is a known problem for the Intel 915 card and the solution is to disable the RANDR process. The thing is i cannot get to the service managaer and the RANDR doesnt come up in BUM which i installed. Does anyone know how to disable RANDR or any other solutions to this very annoying problem?

Ubuntu :: Installed Program Opening With Blank Screen

Sep 9, 2010

I am using ubuntu 10.04 and after installing some programs using the package manager I try to open the program and all I get is the title bar and a blank white screen. I searched the forums and found a thread from awhile back saying to create a new user and see if it persists. I tried that and it does the same thing in the new user. One in particular is gnucash. The program sometimes works but the tutorial does the white screen. I also reinstalled the package several times with no luck. Other packages do the same thing like thunderbird.
