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
There's no desktop tab in ubuntu's PCManFM, how do I get it to be the desktop manager in this case? Also, pcmanfm -d just opens pcmanfm, doesn't start it in daemon mode.
I have installed PcManFM2 instead Dolphin on my kde4. It doesn't mount hard drives (No icons on sidebar) but can unmount if Dolphin mount it first. Xorg 1.8. I tried gamin and fam but useless.
For not apparent reason, yesterday PCmanFM stopped showing CDROM on the list of mountable devices. Before, it was being listed every time I put some written cd/dvd in it.
I don't think fstab has anything to do with it since there was no change to it AND I know for a fact that the line in fstab for cdrom since 5 months is actually wrong.
I have found a bug, pcmanfm sometimes crashes with any right click, on the desktop or on any pcman window. The kernel.log sows: pcmanfm[1171]: segfault at 1 ip 00bd859b sp bfc189bc error 4 in libc-2.12.so[abc000+157000]
In GNOME one can write an XML document telling the system when to change between various files to automatically change the desktop wallpaper, and then set that XML document as the wallpaper.
I have three I like to switch between, containing the schedules and playoff brackets of my favorite sports teams.
I've been using LXDE far more than I've been using GNOME these days, but LXDE won't let me set the XML as the wallpaper like GNOME does.
So after searching around a bit I thought I'd create a cronjob that would change the wallpaper every 20 minutes.
So I set up this
Code:
But it didn't do what I thought it would in changing my wallpaper automatically.
Since I had never used cronjobs before I thought I was doing something wrong in how I had it set up. Various tries to no avail.
But then I have the real problem none of the various I've treid of simply running pcmanfm --set-wallpaper or pcmanfm -w (the --help says they do the same thing) actually do anything. I've tried both with and without.
I changed the file manager from nautilus to pcmanfm via Ubuntu Tweak in Linux Mint 8. Is it safe to uninstall nautilus completely and just use pcmanfm?
I could mount/umount usb through pcmanfm. Recently I have upgraded my debian to wheezy. The pcman version is now 0.9.8 but now I can't mount/umount usb drive any more. It gives an error "Not Authorized" . I already have this at .xinitrcexec dbus-launch icewm-sessionbut no success. Even I have tried withexec ck-launch-session dbus-launch icewm-sessionIt also not helpful and additionally Trash stops working with this. Has anyone have any fix
I'm trying to familiarize myself with LXDE to help a friend of mine and one thing I just cannot solve, despite many googles, is how to allow a non-root user to auto-mount drives in the left-hand pane of PCMANFM.Everything works just fine as long as I have the root passwd. Not a huge problem but very irritating none-the-less.
Recently pcmanfm crashes more frequently then before. Each time it occurs, I cannot open another instance of it until I reboot my desktop/laptop. But this is not possible if I happen to be doing some long computational work. I have been using it with fluxbox for two years already, and previously I simply reopen another new window and get on with my work.
there is any way (via terminal or gediting a file) to use .flac files instead of .ogg in a sound theme file? I am creating a sound theme (several truthfully) and I would like to use the FLAC format if possible.
I can't access (read/write) to my Windows partition from PCManFM on LXDE. On Gnome it is usually on the left side and you have to click on it and it mounts. I want to do the same for PCManFM. When I installed Debian with "Standard system utilities" it did work like it did on Gnome.
The root password is accepted by yast and the lxde login manager, but not the super user version of the pcmanfm file manager. The user pcmanfm icon in tthe lxde control center works OK.
From the lxde control center the superuser icon gives "permission denied" and reverts to the user version. Invoking pcmanfm from a su root shell gets 3 paragraphs of output referencing this error:
Edit: Changed the title to fit the solution I found (which is to replace pcmanfm), and added some stuff. This was originally about mailcap, which is an exotic thingummy to change preferred applications, but did not work.
So I made a text file on a windows machine and brought it home on a flashdrive. When I opened it in PCMan File manager it did not show, but executing ls in a terminal shows the text file just fine. It is the only one that appears to be missing in PCManfm. I've had a similar problem going the other direction (Linux to Windows, but with pdfs) many months ago. here is ls -l
Code: Select all/media/FE32-A2F6/Translation/Kevin$ ls -l total 2344 -rw-r--r-- 1 feelactthink feelactthink 2374182 Feb 19 11:19 Artigo 3-SAGE V4.docx -rw-r--r-- 1 feelactthink feelactthink 3686 Feb 19 15:21 HP Cable Recall -rw-r--r-- 1 feelactthink feelactthink 3686 Feb 19 15:21 HP Cable Recall.txt -rw-r--r-- 1 feelactthink feelactthink 4891 Feb 20 17:58 Translation.txt
The file is Translation.txt. What is different about this file that it would do such a thing? It doesn't look at all different from above.
Running Fedora 13, LXDE spin. Today, the pcmanfm package updated to version 0.9.7 during a software update. After a reboot, I no longer have desktop icons and I'm seeing the default Fedora wallpaper. Also, if I right-click on the desktop, I get a standard openbox menu instead of the LXDE one.
I have a script where I want to redirect stdout to the terminal and also to a log file aswell as redirecting stderr to the same log file but not the terminal.I have the following code which I found on the net which redirects both stderr and stdout to a file and the logfile,
Is there a command I can use to get the permissions of a folder in a terminal? Everything I've seen says how to change permissions, not see current ones.
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?
I'm trying to run a .jar file from the terminal (so that I can set up a launcher) but I can't seem to get it to work. The file is marked as an executable, and all works fine if right click the file and open with java in gui, but when I enter:
Code: java -jar minecraft.jar ... from the directory the jar is located in, I get:
I have created a file newfile.txt using: touch newfile.txt Now I want to write to that file from terminal i.e whatever I will type after the $ will be written to the file this is what I want. How can I do that?
I 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???
