Gnome file manager problem

lately I've noticed that in the Gnome file manager when I go to a directory with images in it, 4 will show up and all the rest don't and the cursor is in a waiting mode that it can't get out of.
What causes this and how can it correct it?

Thanks, I later rebooted and that fixed the problem. It was only in one directory.
I just moved a image to a folder and it did it again. I ran nautilus in the terminal and it only opened nautilus.
Is this a bug in Gnome? It seems to happen every time I want to move an image into a folder.
Is there a way to fix this?

Gnome-network-manager problems

Hello all,
I'm trying to use gnome-network-manager to connect to my wifi as it is WEP enabled and I don't know how to get it working in 'network'.
I followed this tutorial: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
However, when I reboot under those settings, I can't connect to anything, including ethernet.
Is there a problem in the wiki or is there a workaround that hasn't been posted there yet? I'm utterly confused as to why it will not work.
Also, if you need me to paste any code from any file, can you also tell me an easy way to copy/paste between aterm and Opera as I haven't found a way to do that yet.
Thank you very much for any help.
Matt

Bash CDE file manager problem

I have the following problem:
I use the CDE and the bash shell. If I start a bash terminal from the file manager file menu, the environment variables are not set correctly. The entries made in the file /etc/profile are just ignored.
However, the following works correctly:
-if I start the bash terminal from the CDE toolbar
or
-if I use the bourne shell (both variants file manager and CDE toolbar work)
It seems that the file manager is not receiving the correct environment information from the CDE.
Thanks for any help.

Audacious File Manager Problem

Hi there,
Audacious file manager thinks himself. Opened automatic file Audacious.
How to solve ?
Thanks.

I can make a pretty good guess what the problem is. Some program is blindly picking Audacious as the default MIME handler for inode/directory, most likely because it starts with "A". Lots has already been said about this issue (try searching Google for "audacious file manager"). For now, you have to set the default MIME handler to something else manually. See: http://redmine.audacious-media-player.o … 102#note-3

[SOLVED] Default Gnome File Manager

Hello,
I installed Thunar and it has become the default file manager in Gnome, how can I change this back to Nautalis?
Thanks.
Last edited by RAH (2009-02-16 20:10:26)

I am new to Arch but not quite so new to Gnome. I'm trying to do the same thing as RAH, I think. If I open Nautilus through the Applications menu as File Browser from the System Tools drawer, and then open a folder in Nautilus, the display in Nautilus jumps to the contents of the selected folder, just as it should.
But if I select a location to open from the Places menu, it opens in Thunar and any subsequent folders opened in Thunar are opened in a new window. I would like to know how to change this behaviour.
When right clicking a folder and then going to properties, I see no 'open with' tab. There is the 'Open With' option in the context menu, where I see "Open (folder name) and other files of type "folder" with:". After selecting File Browser this does nothing to change how the folders are opened from the Places menu.
I realize this is a trivial desire but I would appreciate any help I can get on the topic.
Thanks.
[EDIT]
I found what I was looking for in gconf-editor -> apps -> nautilus -> preferences -> always_use_browser (check mark).
Stumbled upon this looking for options to remove desktop icons.
Have a good day. :-)
(Also what I thought was thunar seems to be a dfferent kind of browsing method in nautilus which is appearantly not "browser". )

Dbus/hal/gnome-volume-manager problem

I've got hal and dbus running but it doesnt even seem that gnome-volume-manager is started. I added it to my gnome session but that didnt seem to do the trick. I'm trying to be able to just plug in my usb key and ipod and have them automount. It works if I restart hal or run gnome-volume-manager from the command line but then work work again unless I restart that stuff again. Here is a cut from my fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod auto user,noauto 0 0

Hi lhoerste,
I had this problem with automount as well. The way I fixed it was adding
dbus hal to daemons line in /etc/rc.conf. You probably did this already.
Next, when you are in the gnome desktop, stick in a cd. Nothing happens right?
Now go to preferences=>removable drives and media (I think this is what it is called. I'm not sitting infront of my computer at the moment). Then make sure that the checkboxes pertaining to "mount automatically" are checked.
Close window.
Now your cd should automount and appear on the desktop. Eject the cd by right clicking on the icon and choosing eject.
Now, restart and ***make sure you save settings*** before leaving.
Get back into the gnome desktop and plug your cd back in. It should automount now.
This is how I got automount to work for me.

File Manager problem

I am trying to assist my mate uploading documents onto his site. He has been set up with Dreamweaver and is more hopeless than I am. It is a case of the blind leading the blind.
I am able to upload and overwrite files using his legacy file manager but cannot do so using his file manager.
After opening file management I then open on web root and then hit go. I am then supposed to be able to click on the upload button in order to be able to browse in order to select the file I want. I am then supposed to be able to upload it. But nothing at all happens when I first hit upload in order for me to be able to browse.
As I have said, this does not happen with legacy file manager, where it allows me to hit upload files and then allows me to browse and then upload without delay.
I contacted the bloke who installed the system and he is unsure as to why it happens. He said it could be something to do with my browser popup settings, but they are okay. I would be very grateful for advice.

I'm not sure which one he's using. I'm at my own computer at the moment and my mate's not around. I'll find out asap. Sorry my question was confusing. I am very much a layman.

File manager problem - weird .tmp folder - PLEASE ...

Every time I try to copy any type of file to my PC using File Manager, the file will not transfer and instead it creates a .tmp folder with a file inside PhoneFiles.
Has anyone also encountered this?

Hi,
This post was started in april. Did any one found the solution for this? PC suite just doesnt allow to copy files directly from the Nokia file manager to PC. It creates the .tmp folder, with a 'PhoneFiles' named file in it. I just upgraded to Nokia pc suite 6.83.14.1.
Phone model: Nokia 6630
Phone firmware: Never updated
PC suite ver: 6.83.14.1
OS ver: Win XP prof with SP2
It will be very helpfull if somebody knows a solution for this.
Thanks in advance.

SOLVE strange problem with suspend and resume with gnome-power-manager

I have pm-utils and gnome installed.
Suspending and hibernation works well from the command line ($ pm-hibernate and $ pm-suspend). Resuming works without any problems.
Suspending from gnome "Shutdown dialog" works perfectly as well.
However, if suspending is initiated by gnome-power-manager something strange happens: After pressing the power button resuming switches to hibernation and my laptop turns off. Resuming from disk works fine again.
Now, suspending works fine again if I change and save any config file in /etc/pm/.
Here comes the strange thing: It doesn't really matter what I change as long as I save it.
However, as soon as I reboot resuming fails again the way I described above.
Anyone have a clue what's going on?
I get no error messages and I've tried all sorts of boot entries.
Last edited by mehldutt (2007-12-26 19:42:31)

After some try and error my guess is that "HAL" is responsible for this problem:
I deinstalled ACPID and 'pm-utils' and switched to 'uswsusp'.
I made the appropriate changes to the appropriate hal-scrips
usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-suspend:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/s2ram --force
usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate:
#!/bin/sh
/sbin/s2disk
After these changes I still have the same problem: immidiatly after resuming form suspend (via power-button) my laptop hibernates (s2disk).
However, if I delete all entries in "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" resuming from suspend works fine again, but hibernate doesn't of course. So, some script must be calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" emmediatly after resuming from suspend.
A couple of weeks ago everything worked fine. My guess is that one of the recent hal-updates is causing this.
How can I figure what script is calling "usr/lib/hal/scripts/hal-system-power-hibernate" after resuming from suspend?

Problem with File Management in InDesign CS4 on Win 7 64-bit Machine

I have Adobe CS4 and just today have encountered a new problem for which I have no solution. When I open InDesign CS4 and choose the Open File menu, and then attempt to change the way the menu diplays items (e.g., Details rather than Small Icons, ec.), the program crashes and I get the "Adobe InDesign CS4 has stopped working" error message. I first encountered this after attempting to open a folder containing InDesign CS file that I need to open and update. In *that* case, the program crashes as soon as I open that folder (from within InDesign). What I have done so far to solve the problem: I tried using Bridge to browse to the problem folder and open the files from there. Bridge does not crash when I open the folder, and I am able to open any file in the folder *from Bridge* into InDesign CS4. However, when I attempt to, for example, export text from the file, while it does not crash when the window (where I get to specify the name of the exported file and change its location [if I wish]) opens, when I attempt to change how the file menu is displayed (cf. my comment above), the program crashes. *However*, if I simply export the file to any folder other than the one the opening of which crashes the program, too, everything is fine. So the problem seems to afflict the one folder, and any attempt, in any folder, to change how the folder's contents are displayed in what amounts to InDesign's use of the Windows file manager function. Any thoughts would be greatly apprecatd.

Dear Peter,
This is me (PottsJazz) under my (foolishly misplaced) original username (potterjazz) here on Adobe Fora. For various reasons, I decided to do a ground-up reinstallation of Windows 7 64-bit and Adobe CS4 and, initially, the ability to specify the way folders are displayed from within InDesign's own File Manager worked as it should. However, at some point as I went along installing all the software packages I use (Office 2010, Firefox, WordPerfect, some file converters, DVD/CD burning software, iTunes, etc.) the problem reemerged. I think it is probably a glitch with Windows 7 64-bit and one of my programs, but it is definitely not CS4's fault. I just have to create folders, specify folder display styles, etc., from outside CS4 and then maneuver within its programs to the folders and file locations from inside. It's a small price to pay for not spending days reinstalling software and testing testing testing. I'll let you know if I ever get a solution.

Having problem uploading files with file manager

When i use file manager and try to select a file from desktop then desktop disappears quickly so you can't even select the file you want. I'm using firefox 25 and i thought it was that so i deleted firefox and reinstalled firefaox and get the same problem.
It tried with safari and it works ok. Any ideas on how to fix this? Its really annoying.
Thanks,
Den

Well, since you didn't mention exactly what the problem is, I have to assume you have not set up your website definition properties correctly. There are plenty of good step by step instructions in the help files for setting up your website definition.

E62 file manager & memory problem

Hello
I have an E62 from cingular, with a 2-gig extended memory.
I have a problem with invisible data -- mostly email messages -- that are using up all but 80 mb of the phone memory.
It appears I mucked things up by uninstalling blackberry connect and then reinstalling it to the 2gig extended memory card. There are still messages somewhere on the phone memory but I cannot access them. There are some other things too, but absolutely no data shows up in folders through file manager. It's as if all files are empty, this is true for both phone memory and the extended memory and has been since I got the phone -- it didn't raise any questions for me because I didn't quite understand the OS and I had not yet added much stuff to the phone then. But it seems to me that stuff ought to be visible. For example, I had created some audio files with the recorder. They were visible through the recorder software, but they did not turn up in file manager. So I'm wondering if that program even works.
I would like to avoid resetting the phone completely, but if that is the only way to get rid of this invisible data, or to get file manager to work properly, I guess I'll have to do that. Has anyone ever had this problem? Suggestions?

Try using the Y-Browser to access these files:

You would need to set the certificate check in the app-manager to not to validate the certificate to install this.
