Replacing Files in File Manager

Hello,
Im trying to replace a logo for my packing slip .. the address is wrong. I delete the current file in File Manager, upload a new file with the same name, then when I view the file I just uploaded its still the old one? whats wrong with this platform ?!?!
any help is appreciated.

Hello,
We had a caching incident last week, which should not be resolved. If you continue to have issues with File upload, please open a support ticket.
Kind regards,
Cristinel

Searching for a good file manager

I'm searching for a good file manager. Konqueror 3.5 is quite good, dolphin 4.1 and konqueror 4.1 are not. Since konqueror 3.5 is going to die due to lack of support in the future, I kind of need to find a new good file manager...
Do there exist file managers with the following features?
Many of these features are things I thought were quite logical to be in a file manager, but seem to be missing in most "modern" ones...
-independent of any desktop (gnome or KDE), just a standalone program
-preferably not being both a web browser and file manager in once, at least not in an annoying way. Konqueror 3.5 shows that being that combination is possible without being annoying.
-ability to have a tree view of the folders on one side and list view showing the files and subfolders of the folder currently selected in the tree on the other side
-detailed list view showing at least filename, type, date and size, and the ability to sort according to any of these properties
-a non-detailed view showing image contents would also be nice, to browse folders of photos or other images
-ability to open files in certain programs if you doubleclick the file, NOT open it by singleclicking, singleclicking may only select it
-ability to select multiple files by dragging box around files or using keys like "ctrl" and "shift"
-ability to do "open terminal here" or type terminal commands in the current open directory
-must have ability to drag files from one folder to another, from list view to tree view and vica versa, to move or copy them
-and must have ability to use "ctrl+c" and "ctrl+v" to copy files and foldes from here to there
-multiple tabs is a huge plus
-favorites (to local folder paths) is also a huge plus
-preview of files when hovering the mouse over them is nice
-must have ability to zip and unzip (or other compression formats) folders by just right clicking them and choosing a zip/unzip command there
-in addition to that, must also have ability to browse through a zip file as you would through a normal directory, and drag files from the insides of the zip file to the tree view to automatically unzip those files there, and of course "ctrl+c"/"ctrl+v" should also work to copy a file from the inside of the zip file, to some other folder on your disk
-no horizontal autoscrolling in the tree view, that is an invention straight from the abyss...

I know exactly how you feel about KDE 4 vs. 3 -- Konqueror was the best part of KDE for me (pretty much the only part I ever used, actually; my window manager is a slightly modified version of WMII and I generally loathe "desktop environments"). KDE 4 ruined it, completely and utterly.
I submitted about 20 different bug reports about Konqeuror 4, mostly features that they'd deleted or mangled; some of them are starting to be addressed now. I don't think they'll ever fix the speed issues though, because those are dependent on the underlying KDE 4 libraries as far as I can tell -- it's as if KDE 4 were purposely and deliberately designed to be slower than KDE 3. Even if they fix all of its deficiencies, that'll probably keep me from using it...
Right now there's KDEmod, which will hopefully maintain its KDE 3 branch for a while longer. It's starting to show some problems, though; I haven't been able to get kdemod konqueror 3 to work fully out of the box (the settings pages are all blank). On my main machine, I somehow managed to hack together some of the KDEmod3 packages so that I have a functional konqueror 3 running alongside the Arch repository's version of KDE4. I'm afraid to pacman -Syu now, though, because it will probably break horribly :P
I don't remember exactly how I got konqueror 3 going like that, as I did it in my initial fit of rage after I did the pacman -Syu that got me KDE4 (a decision I have regretted ever since), but it was something like this:
1. move /opt to /opt.kde4
2. make a new /opt
3. download several KDE 3 packages from the KDEmod3 repositories manually
4. extract those packages into the new /opt with tar -xzf (NOT pacman!)
5. try /opt/kde/bin/konqueror
6. read reams of error messages about missing libraries, segfaults, etc.
7. try to supply the missing libraries by downloading other kdemod3 packages and manually extracting them
8. goto 5
Then, when everything worked (sort of), I renamed some stuff so that 'konqueror' is konqueror 4 (I think having it konqueror 3 broke something else, but I don't remember what), and konqueror 3 is called 'k3nqueror'.
If KDEmod3 ever goes away and there's no other good replacement file manager by then, I'll probably take the source code of KDE3 and try to make a standalone version of konqueror out of it. (Which will probably be quite a project because of how interdependent all the KDE components are.)
Some features I "need" in a file manager, besides the ones you mentioned:
- Konqueror's tree view (where you can expand folder branches in the file list)
- Infinite view splitting -- I frequently have my konqueror windows split into 4, sometimes as many as 6 or 7 view panes. Very useful for sorting out files.
- Selection rectangles are sensitive only over files -- I find full-row-select really annoying, because there are no guaranteed "blank" areas that you can click on to clear a selection. I also use this behaviour to grab long-named files that are interspersed with short ones, because they hilight first when the rectangle touches them (you wouldn't think this very useful, but surprisingly often you do want to do something to all the long-named files...)
- Right-clicking on a folder and clicking "Paste" pastes into that folder, not the current one -- you'd be amazed at how many file managers get this wrong. I shouldn't have to cd into a folder just to paste some files there.

Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?

Like the topic - "Yosemite is awful- unable to empty trash, volume options are haywire, error codes on file management, and files won't replace when moved. What are my options at this point?"
I installed this OS, and it looks nice, but it's terrible to use. I randomly have the volume controls get disabled, and sometimes the volume menu in the system tray does nothing when adjusted which I've never seen in an OS before. The trash won't empty. When I try to drag and drop newer files over existing ones, nothing happens. The old ones just stay there. I have to delete the old ones and then move the new ones. And when I go into the protected files to manage audio plugins (I make music), the first thing I hit are error codes galore, and password prompts that either don't popup when they should, or don't execute the command after I provide my password.
What can I do now that I installed the flames of **** onto my computer?

Back up all data before proceeding.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Triple-click anywhere in the following line on this page to select it:
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags -h nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown -h $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -h -N {} + -type d -exec chmod -h +x {} + 2>&-
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, you may have to press the return key after pasting.
You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
resetp
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

VFM (Virtual File Manager): End of life and replacement products

In our organization, we are heavy users of VFM (Virtual File Manager) for DFS management and file replication. Unfortunately VFM is going end of life in Nov 2012 and we have not been able to find suitable product(s) to replace its functionality.We have looked at many alternate products, including Autovirt and ScriptLogic SecureCopy for DFS management and file migration/replication and have not found a suitable replacement so-far. The products we have seen so-far do not scale well for larger environments and do not provide the ability to import or batch create tasks. For the DFS management functionality, it looks like Netapp may be able to create a custom tool for us, but we have not found anything suitable from the replication/migration side of things. Either way, off the shelf products would be preferable to a custom made tool if available.Here is a breakdown of the VFM features that we use and their importance to our teams:Feature UsedFeature TypeFeature DescriptionImportanceAvailability PoliciesAdmin View, Namespace PoliciesDFS Link replicationHigh, used to replicate DFS namespace between serversBackup PoliciesAdmin View, Namespace PoliciesBackup DFS namespaceHigh, used for contingencyClient Recovery PoliciesAdmin View, Business Continuity PolicyAlllows failover of DFS links from PROD to DRHigh, used for BCP / DRCreation PoliciesAdmin View, Namespace PoliciesFiler recovery policies Admin View, Business Continuity PolicyDFS link managementVery, currently used for contingencyMigration PoliciesAdmin View, Data Movement PolicyData copy/ migrationHigh, many migrationsReplication PoliciesAdmin View, Data Movement PolicyServer recovery policiesAdmin View, Business Continuity PolicyDFS link managementVery, currently used for contingencyVFM GUILogical View, add linksDFS link addition / update / deleteVery, used to manage all links
We are looking for suggestions for replacement products for the functionality of VFM. Has anyone identified a successor for VFM that would still work within larger environments? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You can get the same functionality that was provided by this product if you take a slightly different approach by using symlinks or CIFS widelinks. I've been using a script I wrote which effectively replaced what we were doing in Netapp VFM. I create symlinks in the main share that I consider to be the primary tier of storage. The symlinks are to the folders residing on secondary SATA tiers of storage. This script parses through the secondary tier, then adds said symlink into the main tier. To enable this you basically change the options in your share to allow external shares to be traversed (though, it's on the same storage system itself). Create a hidden clone share for the primary tier and change the option on that share to not follow external links/only allow internal. That share will then show the secondary tier folders as 0 byte files that are the shortcuts, you can literally manage those by deleting those files, or using the remove-nafile command in the PowerShell toolkit. This is 7-mode still, but you could do this approach all the same w/ cifs widelinks. This script itself only parses and creates the symlinks that point to secondary tiers of storage, it isn't doing any data migration. You could very easily integrate it into a data migration workflow where you scanned your main tier for folders that have files that haven't been modified in say a year, then auto move those to the SATA tier, then run this script. You could go one step further and auto move them back to primary if you detect your SATA share were in use again, just delete the symlink shortcut and migrate back to primary by doing a standard copy from the one share to other. In addition, this in my opinion is better than using a DFS shortcut for reach folder on each tier of storage whereever it was (like NetApp/Brocade VFM did). Essentially the client was handling linking the shortcuts. This moves the responsibility to the server building and presenting the share and the client knows no different. On a Mac system, this makes a HUGE difference as it is only seeing one DFS pointer in this approach.

Using bash as your file manager?

Hello,
My belief is that all file managers suck. There are no exceptions to this. So, for the past few months, I've been sourcing a file with a bunch of tricks I've invented / found through browsing the web to make using just bash as a file manager much more convenient.
Here's what I currently use:
# fm v1.9.1 by Kiah Morante
# A very simple file manager.
# Depends on pycp/pymv, http://github.com/yannicklm/pycp and feh

shopt -s autocd # cd to a dir just by typing its name
PROMPT_COMMAND='[[ ${__new_wd:=$PWD} != $PWD ]] && list; __new_wd=$PWD' # ls after cding
# Shortcuts

Actually, I found this to be one of the best advantages of using bash is that it forces a user to think about file organization and making useful naming schemes for files.
For example, instead of having 1000+ media files in one directory I subcategorize theme by genre or whatever, and then probably subcategorize them again.
Then I usually rename the files to something meaningful, like if I have 50 pictures of my kids birthday, just do a for each loop on the directory and rename all the files donovan_birthdayX.jpg where X is an integer incrementation.
essentially. just don't "have files cluttered all throughout you hard drive and folders all over". and your life will be much happier regardless of how you manage your files.

Changing the default file manager in XFCE

How would I go about using Nautilus as the default file manager in XFCE instead of Thunar? I know it can be started up with 'nautilus --no-desktop', but how do I make this the default when opening folders from the desktop, menus, etc..?
The main reason I want to do this is because Thunar doesn't seem to remember a folders last setting. For example, there are folders which I would like to permanently view as a list, sorted by date; but there are plenty of other folders where this is not suitable. Nautilus remembers settings for each folder, Thunar doesn't, and it gets annoying changing the view mode each time. Also network browsing is easier in Nautilus, and I also like the way it tells you how fast file transfers are going.
Thanks very much,

Well, it might be considered a dirty hack but it has worked for me in gnome before so it should also work in xfce. Just edit the thunar.desktop file in /usr/share/applications and replace the Exec=thunar to Exec=nautilus --no-desktop and save the file. Then any time thunar is launched, nautilus will be launched instead.
Otherwise, you can edit the menu with the menu editor and change the File manager command and do the same in the panel icon properties. Both methods will work.

Using nautilus as a file manager in xfce

I decided to use nautilus as file manager in XFCE because I'm having some issues with thunar (slow mounting of removable drives etc.). I've assigned a keyboard shortcut to launch this command "nautilus --browser --no-desktop". The first time I run it everything works as intended, but when I press the keyboard shorcut second time 5 nautilus windows open and nautilus replaces thunar on the desktop (switches to the background used in gnome, raplaces the xfce right click menu with the gnome one, etc.). I am truly confused with this. Anyone has any idea what could be casing this behaviour?

Tfman - text file manager, much different then others

Tfman - text file manager.
Performs operations on files through textual representation of file system.
Textual representation is in the form of plain text, editable with any text
editor and may contain multiple operations of every kind. Tfman can be
used from command-line or from within Vim as multi-window file manager.
It can be combined with tools like Sed or Awk.
. written in C fo Unix-like operating systems
. no dependencies (except gcc/clang and GNU Make for building)
Features in short:
- scan filesystem to create its textual representation
- parse textual representation and perform retrieved operations
- use favorite text editing tool to edit textual representation
- scan, edit and parse in one step
- use Tfman from command-line or from within Vim as multi-window file manager
- integration with other decent text editors should be easy
- available: brace expansion, globbing, entries grouping, whole directory operations and more
Project's homepage:
https://chiselapp.com/user/machel/repository/tfman/home
Installation procedure (AUR or sources tarball) - see Project's homepage
Documentation, sources, report issue - see Project's homepage
Warning:
Tfman is in an early state, it didn't receive sufficient testing yet. Please
be carefull when manipulating sensitive data with it.
Note:
I do not know any file manager that manipulates file system in similar way.
Therefore usefulness of this kind of approach is not proven.
Help me prove it.
Screenshots:
Screenshot1
New version pushed to AUR:
- changing entry ownership and permissions now associated under one action tag
- few other action tags changed
- Quick Start Guide now available, see Project's homepage
- bug fixes

Well, for start: Is there really a reason to use different character for directory and its subdirectories? As far as I can tell, you could just use '%' for all directories and decide what is top-level directory and what is subdirectory based on the indentation. Also, it would be nice to reserve '#' for comments, as it is common in many languages.
machel wrote:2) Use action tags to specify operations. They apply to single entries, groups of entries or whole directories
Here the complexity begins. There is 13 operations, if I counted it correctly in the man page. To be fair, some of them are just adding '*' enforce overwrites. Fine, that leaves us with about 9 operations to learn. I could probably do that But it would be better if it was less... Would it be possible to simplify operations that don't affect file location by allowing user to simply change the value in the text representation? It would probably require some kind of header (or some clever trickery), because the order of columns is not fixed, but it might be worth the trouble. You could also extend this to changing file times and perhaps other properties (those from '-F proper'). The linking and moving operators look good, with little exception of '))' - that just looks odd to me But that is definitely my personal taste... I'd prefer something like single '>'.
machel wrote:3) Entry names and action operands - I believe using them is quite intuitive:
Name relative to directory/subdirectory above:
'name'
If you want absolute name:
'/name'
If you want name relative to current working directory (where Tfman was invoked):
'./name'
No problem with this, I like that.
machel wrote:
dolik.rce wrote:ability to execute commands on the files/directories
What do you mean? Shell commands?
Shell commands would be best, but generally just ability to execute command with given file/directory as input or parameter. Example usage would be something like this:
# Dir
file1 ^ sed -i -e 'some sed script here' becomes: sed -i -e 'some sed script here' < file1
file2 ^% touch % becomes: touch file2
The syntax is just an example, but in this case ^ would feed the file into the standard input of the command, and '^%' would replace '%' in commandline with the actual file name. For globing, command gets executed for each matching file.
machel wrote:
dolik.rce wrote:execute some actions conditionally
Interesting idea. I must think about it.
Tfman already have tags to stop parsing file, stop parsing line and goto next,
disable whole dir/group or single entry, exclude entry from under directory/group,
perform action on previous action's target, ignore errors.
But it works unconditionally.
I can imagine wanting to do something based on the properties of file or even based on output of external command. E.g. 'move file only if it's older then N days', or 'ask remote server if it has file X, move the file to directory upload/ when the command returns non-zero exit status'
machel wrote:--- Tfm ---
Remember about 'tfm' utility which is simple Tfman wrapper scanning given directory,
opening it in editor defined in EDITOR shell variable (Vim is default) and parsing
result after you save and quit.
It just compress 3 steps into 1.
This is definitely handy, and probably only reasonable way to use tfman interactively. However, I'm not a vim-person - as I already said I'm lazy to remember anything, so you can imagine that learning enough vim commands to use it effectively would be a nightmare for me The same goes for tfmvi, I'm just not the target audience for that. But my EDITOR variable is usually set to nano, so I could easily use it with that, probably just with slightly more typing.

Changing Default file manager Nautilus to Thunar

I am running Gnome, but want Thunar as my default file manager. Last time I did this my desktop froze. I did it with some Ubuntu script https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DefaultFileManager. Is there someway I can do this without my desktop freezing?

Maybe these methods:

Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
Is this possible?

OK then. Install nautilus.
control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
I bastardized KDE, i know
It was worth it! hehe
BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.

(SOLVED) Firefox and Sublime calling Cervisia as file manager

I'm using KDE 4.13
Problem In Firefox :
When a download is completed, it shows up in Downloads window. When I ask "open containing folder", it will display a warning:
http://up.vbiran.ir/uploads/10587140621 … a-warn.png
"This is not a CVS folder.
If you did not intend to use Cervisia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror."
and then open `Cervisia` :
http://up.vbiran.ir/uploads/10584140621 … ivitia.png
Problem in Sublime Text Editor :
When I running Sublime and then `Pereferences > Browse Packages`
(Same as Firefox)
It will display :
"This is not a CVS folder.
If you did not intend to use Cervisia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror."
and then open `Cervisia`.
Any ideas?

replace nautilis with whatever the default file manager is for KDE and you should be ok.
Solved Tnx
I'm using `Dolphin` and tried :
xdg-mime default dolphin.desktop inode/directory
Worked like a charm.

File Manager Pro.....Advice from other users please

I uploaded much of my music collection to Skydrive in anticipation of iPad ownership.
I planned to hold a small selection on the device and refresh/replace albums from Skydrive whilst on my travels using Hotel WiFi.
I have discovered that even using the "Skydrive App" one can only stream such media content, not download it.
Enter "File Manager Pro".
...This promised to be the answer to a maiden's prayer.
...alas, no.
Though I can now download music using the App, it remains imprisoned within the application, only being playable on the "One Shot" rudimentary in-built player.
Does anyone know of a way to transfer these music files to the iPad library where I could then access them from the iPad player?
Alternatively, is there some other way of downloading music from Skydrive directly to the iPad music library?

If you are seeing Save to Remote Server, then your site is
not properly
defined. It should be defined as an FTP site, NOT as an FTP
and RDS Server
site (unless you REALLY know what you are doing).

File Management

Hi. This is my first time at the forum for many years.
I use and own two computers, one with Win98se and one with Linspire 4.5.
I gave my wife a G4 iMac for her birthday about 4 years ago because Windows was too confusing for her. She is able to do most of what she wants to do, but sometimes she needs my help. I have never owned a Mac, but I bring my non-Mac PC experience to the table.
Now to the Question (Finally):
I have a hard time managing files on her iMac. Does anyone know of a file manager that will give me a PC-Tools type layout? I use "Ztree Gold" and Laplink on my Windows PC, and Linspire has it's own file-manager.
I would even welcome a Windows Explorer clone even though it is not as powerful as the 3rd party app's I use on Win98.
OR:
Is there a way of making the Mac OS change it's method of file mamagement by changing some preference.
I want to be able to search for files by name and to change attributes (ie: dates) of the file.
G4 iMac Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Freddie. Welcome back to the Discussions.
1. re: File Managers. You can take a look at:
• Path Finder.
• Macintosh Explorer and the related Macintosh Explorer Aqua. This one gets mixed reviews, but is touted to be more like Windows Explorer.
You can investigate other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
2. You wrote: "Is there a way of making the Mac OS change it's method of file mamagement by changing some preference."Finder is the default file manager. Some have substituted Path Finder for this, though it's best to simply use a utility like Path Finder when desired vs. replacing Finder with Path Finder.
3. You wrote: "I want to be able to search for files by name and to change attributes (ie: dates) of the file."That's where Spotlight comes in. In particular, Find (Finder > Command-F or Finder > File > Find) provides the ability to search for files with very specific criteria. Find is implemented in Spotlight.
4. My "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that both you and your wife will find helpful including books, online training, and more.
Good luck!

How to disable CD-DRIVE checking, while using a Dolphin file manager

Hello.
I would like ask for a help. I have one problem that's quite annoying. It is related to checking cd-drive when using a dolphin file menager. It always cheecks it when Dolphin is launched from K or launcher on taskbar for the first time, again it happens when i close it and open again.
Is there a way to disable checking of cd-drive in Dolphin? This behaviour occurs on KDE with all linux system that i checked: Slackware, Arch, Kubuntu. Look at this:
Disabling CD-DRIVE checking, while using a file manager
I would like to disable it in order to speed up opening Dolphin, launching it.

Udisks2 is what dolphin uses to handle external drives of all kinds (USB, optical, etc). Udisks is an automounting tool that allows normal users to mount disks. The permission handling before was handled with consolekit and has now been replaced by systemd-logind (which is much better anyway). So what I am suggesting is that it might be that dolphin is using udisks2 as the tool that polls for the existence of a disc in your optical drive.
Unfortunately, it is a bit more confusing than that because udisks2 is the replacement for the original udisks. It is totally different and not compatible. So I remember seeing a way to turn off optical drive polling, but I cannot remember if it was udisks or udisks2. But it was done with a udev rule.
So I think if you tried to google for "udisks optical (or cd or dvd) polling" or something like that, you might be able to figure out how this is done.
Edit: unfortunately, I do not use dolphin or udisks2. But I do have the original udisks installed.
Edit2: It seems that the method I remembered is for the original udisks.

DB2 Log file Management is not happening properly

Hi experts,
I am running SAP ERP6.0 EHP4 on DB2 9.5 FP4
I have enabled Archive log by providing First Log Archive Method (LOGARCHMETH1) =DISK: /db2/PRD/log_archive
I have brought down SAP & Database and started database .After starting DB , taken full offline backup.
Didnu2019t change below parameters as these are replaced by LOGARCHMETH1 in newer versions as per documents.
Log retain for recovery enabled=OFF
User exit for logging enabled =OFF
/db2/PRD/log_dir (Online transaction Logs) is 25% full but I couldnu2019t find even single file in /db2/PRD/log_archive
I am suspecting DB2 Log file Management is not happening properly as I couldnu2019t find any offline transaction logs in /db2/PRD/log_archive file system
Request you let me know where it went wrong & what could be the issue
thanks

Hello,
From your post it seems that there is a space character between "DISK:" and the path you have provided.
Maybe this is only a wrong display here in the forum.
Nevertheless, can you check it in your system, it should rather look like DISK:/db2/PRD/log_archive.
Can you initiate an archive command with the "db2 archive log for db prd" command.
What does the db2diag.log tell for this archiving attempt?
