Obex:// in nautilus? [SOLVED]

is it possible to browse bluetooth devices like mobile phones via obex in nautilus?
i can use obexftp and exchange files, i bond the devices via bluez-gnome.
i tried gnome-vfs-obexftp, gnome-bluetooth and obexfs (fuse module was loaded aswell), but nothing works. whenever i try to open obex:/// in nautilus, i'm told i should check the spelling.
hopefully this will get better with gvfs, which can use a fuse backend.
but until then i'd like to know if and how obex devices can be browsed via nautilus.
thanks in advance.
edit: the gnome-vfs-obexftp PKGBUILD in AUR is borked: it says glib is needed where glib2 is a dep and it still installs to /opt/gnome, which is why it didn't work

I'm not sure why this thread was marked as solved, as the "solution" was to use a different wm...
I am doing the same thing with openbox, so I have a feeling the wm is not at fault here.
Perhaps a dep from XFCE corrected the issue? If so, which one?
Here's my log;

    Nope.. Doesn't change anything
    Maybe your icon theme doesn't have special icons and use the same as normal folders...
    (I don't have xdg-user-dirs-gtk installed, but for me, nautilus shows the icons... if the icon theme has them)
    Yeap.. You're right. Tried Humanity theme. Nautilus shows...
    But pcmanfm still doesn't...

  • [Solved] Nautilus bookmarks - Gnome Shell Doesn't Start

    Hi there.
    I've tried to search and have been scratching my head by what probably has a really simple solution but I have not found it so far.
    I've made a fresh install of Arch, system is up to date, with Gnome 3 (shell and whatnot).
    I've set my locale in /etc/rc.conf to pt_BR and have properly generated locales.
    $ locale -a
    C
    en_US
    en_US.iso88591
    en_US.utf8
    POSIX
    pt_BR
    pt_BR.iso88591
    pt_BR.utf8
    Gnome is localized to pt_BR
    Everything is fine and dandy except for a really annoying thing.
    xdg-user-dirs-update
    Creates folders with incorrect characters when viewed on Nautilus (but appear correct on Nautilus sidebar).
    I tried editing the .config/user-dirs.dirs file with gedit, it showed the wrong characters but allowed me to write the correct ones. Saved it and ran xdg-user-dis-update, the output is borked characters. Tried editing it in nano, same results.
    I've managed to manually delete and create the correct folders using
    xdg-user-dirs-update --set MUSIC /home/$USER/Foldername
    but, while it displays properly on nautilus when navigating, it doesn't display properly on the sidebar.
    I'm linking to a screenshot so it is easier to understand. The music folder should read "Músicas". You can see I'm inside the Videos folder but the sidebar name doesn't match the folder name.
    http://i453.photobucket.com/albums/qq25 … _issue.jpg
    Any ideas?
    EDIT: After this post, I rebooted and gnome shell would no longer start - at all. I would get it to log in and display the wallpaper but that was it. I could get into xfce4 from gdm so I knew the issue was with gnome.
    Nonetheless, I went ahead and did yet another reinstall (I always assume I borked a package or hard-to-find-configuration).
    Feeling frustated but being a tad wiser I noticed a weird behavior on ~/.xsessionerror
    [Error initializing libicu support]
    This went on forever until I aborted the command.
    Changing my locale on my rc.conf from pt_BR to en_US fixed gnome-shell. I was once again able to boot into it without a problem. I then, from within gnome, choose portuguese as the default locale (gnome-control-panel, not rc.conf). This fixed the Nautilus issue above and has not stopped gnome-shell from working. I don't know *how* they implement their localization but heck, it works.
    Solved and maybe it might help anyone with the same issue.

    Hmm, since yesterday I'm fumbling around with those settings too. It seems this is not settings related at all (at least not to old package settings), but rather to nautilus' behavior. Just a few minutes ago I've set "view all hidden files" to true in it's settings. It instantly crashed. After a reboot gnome-shell is gone. This is really annoying.
    Also there is no taskbar, no menu bar, no nothing in fallback mode!... Is this even fallback mode?
    Trying to launch gnome-shell from terminal then gives:

  • [SOLVED]Nautilus not "zooming" video thumbnails

    Hi!
    When i set Nautilus to more than 100% "zoom", the icons of video files get bigger but the thumbnails drawn on them stay the same size, so the video files look like a big white rectangle with a small (regular sized) thumbnail in the middle of it.
    Setting Nautilus to less than 100% zoom has video thumbnauls scale down correctly. Inside the .thumbnails folders, the png's belonging to videos and other files look both ok and exactly the same way, but the ploblem only occurs with actual video files.
    I noticed, that pictures in big folders first show the same way, shortly after the thumbnails are generated - but they are shown appropriately after a few seconds and video file icons stay that way permanently no matter what.
    Any idea how to solve that? thx!
    Last edited by whoops (2009-03-23 16:40:35)

    Found inside: abs/extra/libgnomeui
    File: gnome-thumbnail.c
    changed:
      size = 128;
      if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE)
        size = 256;
    ...to:
      size = 256;
      if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE)
        size = 256;
    compiled, restarted nautilus: WORKING FINE NOW
    But i don't think this is like it's supposed to be (and I've got no idea what else I changed by doubling that value). So, whatever that part I altered does - shouldn't there be something like...:
      size = 128;
      if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGE)
        size = 256;
      if (factory->priv->size == GNOME_THUMBNAIL_SIZE_LARGEST)
        size = 512;
    or something?
    Well, I've got got big thumbnailed video icons again, so I'll leave all the sourcecode I don't understand alone for a while now. I'm not marking this thread as "solved" yet, as the method I used to get where I want is most likely very, very, very wrong.
    (edit: jupp, still working after reboot. source messy, thumbnails big, me happy. )

    OK- I think I've SOLVED all my Nautilus problems, which included the endless respawning "Starting Filemanager windows" on the panel, the hal daemon related GDM 3 for 1 key repeat prevents login problem, and the Nautilus refusing to launch problem!
    After reviewing the Gentoo Hal documetation, and realizing I had the xf86-input-evdev driver installed on Arch, I had forgotten that in order to get the mouse/keyboard to function I had to previously add a line in xorg.conf that was now conflicting with hal/dbus and the new xorg server version.
    I just commented out this line in xorg.conf, like this
    Section "ServerFlags"
    # Option "AllowEmptyInput" "false"
    Option "DontZap" "false"
    EndSection
    and added the hal daemon (which calls dbus) to my /etc/rc.conf, which allows evdev/hal/dbus to do it's thing.
    Along with the edits to the /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop file (which is strangely named "File Manager" in Thunar, one of three files of the same name).  The edits made are:
    X-GNOME-AutoRestart=false    # changed from =true
    AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop    # added this line
    Now, I can boot from GDM into a normal gnome session, and Nautilus launches normally, without endlessly repawning itself in the panel.
    The fix itself was quite simple, but tracing the cause down and understanding it was not!

  • [SOLVED]My Nautilus does not has window borders!!

    Hi,
    I have installed ArchLinux for the first time. I have installed GNOME (GNOME Shell + Mutter + Metacity + Nautilus + ETC...)
    I noticed that among all installed applications Nautilus is the only application that does not have Window Borders (Decorations) and if I wanted to close it I have to press SUPER key in my keyboard then in the activity (dashboard) I click that X appearing to it.
    Is there a way to solve this problem?
    Thank you,

    As far as i know you can define the size of the titlebar in the theme. The default theme can be found in /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml.
    Back when i used gnome shell, i edited the theme for not to show the titlebar, which is the complete opposite of what you try to do. But maybe you can find a way to edit the file so that the statusbar is always shown.
    This part of the file is relevant for the maximised titlebars:
    <frame_geometry name="max" has_title="false" title_scale="medium" parent="normal" rounded_top_left="false" rounded_top_right="false">
    <distance name="left_width" value="0" />
    <distance name="right_width" value="0" />
    <distance name="left_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
    <distance name="right_titlebar_edge" value="0"/>
    <distance name="title_vertical_pad" value="0"/>
    <border name="title_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/>
    <border name="button_border" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"/>
    <distance name="bottom_height" value="0" />
    </frame_geometry>

    (Still the opposite of your intention, but maybe helpful)

  • [solved] Nautilus freezes when opening "properties"

    Heya,
    unfortunately I can no longer open the "Properties" dialogue when right-clicking on any file in Nautilus. Nautilus just freezes and sometimes Mutter notifies me about the freeze and asks if I want to kill nautilus.
    When opening Nautilus in a shell I don't get any specific error messages...
    Any ideas?

    Ok, I did some further research:
    The problem is definitely related to tracker and can (temporarily) solved by uninstalling tracker. There are two corresponding bug reports on the bugzillas of Novell and GNOME.
    Although one post on the Novell bugzilla claims
    JFYI, the tracker patch has been included in GNOME:Apps. I think it'll be in
    GNOME:STABLE:3.0 soon.
      the corresponding bug report at the GNOME tracker is still "UNCONFIRMED".
    So hopefully a future update will fix the problem...

    I can start nautilus directly from the console or from the menu, no problem. But when I connect a usb drive or any external drive it pop me : "Impossible to open a folder for 'usbName'. No application are register to execute this file".
    Another exemple is when a download a file from internet and then from the browser I click "open the containing folder" it do nothing.
    If a open Baobab and I right click a folder and "open folder" it pop me : "Impossible to open the folder 'folderName'. No viewer are install"
    So well.... I really don't know what to do... Maybe it is in a kind of default application editor but well.. I find something that was kind of this but there was no option for the default system explorer.
    Help me please!!
    Thank you ! Hope someone know what to do! :-(

    right-click on a file / file-type that has no registered application, then click 'properties' and then navigate to the 'open with' tab ~ if there are no applications listed then click 'show other applications'... after that find the proper application to open a given file, then click 'set as default'.
    this should solve your problem. The only one i am not sure about is the USB thing, but the rest are easily solved. Gnome by default will not automatically associate all mime-types to applications. you need to do some of this yourself.
    for example; in order for .html files to open in gedit by default, I first had to associate .html to gedit, and 'set as default' ~ otherwise, all html (local files) automatically would open in Firefox. 
    hope this helps

  • [SOLVED] Nautilus + Samba

    I have a little question about nautilus and samba:
    ive recentelly installed samba following the wiki guide.
    I managed to configure everything and its seems to work. In windows i can see my notebook with its netbios name, but it doesnt happen the same in Nautilus.
    When i check at network from nautilus nothing is shown. neither if entering ie smb://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx . Am i missing something?
    as you can see nautilus-share is currently installed.
    community/nautilus-share 0.7.2-5 [instalado]
        Share files through Samba with Nautilus
    need suggestions, thanks and sorry for the english, if you dont understand please let me now.

    Ive solved the problem by using this command
    exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session
    instead of exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
    thanks to all.
