all my compressed files have gedit icons, and when I right-click them, instead of having the "unzip here" option, it just says "open with gedit". Why would this be the case??? How do I fix it? it's really inconvenient to have to open up my terminal and unzip everything that I want uncompressed, when I used to be able to just right click it and say "extract here".
View 2 RepliesI am using GEDIT and I would like to have a shortcut key that allows me to tell GEDIT (on Ubuntu) to force reloading from file system the currently opened file.
How can I do that?
I recently downloaded vlc to my Linux OS distro Ubuntu 10.10. player, but am unable to skin it. I have dl'd several packages and they will not extract, even from root. Every time I attempt to extract the .vlt files from zip, I briefly see the extraction progress bar followed by this error: "An error occurred while extracting files."
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf i wanted to tar a directory into individual directories (but only one level) how would i go about it? example would be
MainDirectory
|---dirA
|---dirB
|---dirc

would produce
dirA.tar
dirB.tar
dirC.tar etc
organizing where I put source directories:
1) Is there any convention or best practice as to where to store source tars for packages that you have to build yourself, as well as for where to store the source directories that are extracted (the ones containing the generated Makefile)? I'm getting to a point where there are tars and source directories all over my home directory and elsewhere, and it's becoming disorganized very quickly.
2) Are the entire source directories needed to be kept around, or could simply the Makefile be enough to perform a 'make uninstall' if necessary?
3) Is there any problem with moving around the source folders after a package has been built and installed? Meaning if I install a package, move the source directory, then do a 'make uninstall' from that new location, would it successfully remove the package?
4) Now that I think about it is there any reason to keep around the tars after installing a package? As long as you have the source directory, what point would there be?

This is a new issue since 10.04 (9.10 did it right). I'm on 10.10 netbook right now. What I would like to figure out is how to tell the system to go into suspend when idle even though the lid is open. I don't know if this problem is hardware specific or just a config file edit. Just to get it out of the way, it does suspend correctly when the lid is closed - and I can tell it to suspend when the lid is open, but what I need is for it to suspend when I fall asleep working or forget I left it open without overheating / running out of battery and losing my work. I'm pretty good at doing things on linux, despite the fact that I'm running the netbook remix, so don't be afraid to tell me to open a file in the terminal or whatever.

When I play any video in VLC or any other player my video is on top of everything.
For example, if I open a video and play it - everything looks ok. But, if I open another window "above" VLC, video suddenly appears at top and I can't see window opened in front of VLC.
This print-screen will make it more clear.

Then, I've open my Windows 7 and play the mkv files with the KMplayer, everything is fine. No lagging, no distractions.
I've already updated the ubuntu-restricted-extras. I've already installed the libxine1-ffmpeg and nothings good appeared.
