[solved] dolphin file manager losing all custom places entries

Hi all,
I am getting phantom problem with dolphin file manager, i added custom place entries there but suddenly they diappear from dolphin.
There is no any pattern in disappearance. They appear for few days without any problem, even after shutdown/reboot. But suddenly some day they disappear and i have to add them again.
I want to find cause of this problem then fix it.
Or at least find config file where dolphin store configuration about custom places that i can backup and restore to get back entries.
I checked ~/.kde4/share/config/dolphinrc but couldn't find there anything about custom places.
I am using KDE 4.14.5 and Dolphin 14.11.97

Hi samtech09,
dolphin stores the configuration of the custom places in ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel.
The problem you described has already been reported upstream: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343735

After KDE 4.4, the Dolphin File Manager Doesn't Run [RESOLVED]

After I successfully upgraded to KDE 4.4 and removed all old KDE configuration files, I then ran KDE 4.4 and the Dolphin File Manager doesn't run at all. Any suggestions? Thanks.

@flamelab - Here is what I get when running Dolphin from the terminal:
[ejm@Galicja apps]$ cd /usr/bin
[ejm@Galicja bin]$ ./dolphin
<unknown program name>(4364)/: Communication problem with "dolphin" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." "

Plasma and Dolphin file manager

Hi,
I'm missing the Dolphin file manager for KDE Plasma 5.2 desktop environment. The one that I find is 'kdebase-dolphin', but when I try to install it, it reports a conflict 'kdebase-runtime and khelpcenter is in conflict', and I assume that 'kdebase-dolphin' is KDE 4. I don't want to erase khelpcenter to install kdebase-dolphin. Is there a dolphin file manager ready for plasma yet?
Kind regards

I use dolphin-git (from AUR) wich is build against of KF5. I haven't any problems with it.

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.

Dolphin file manager flickers when viewing certain folders

Like the title said: when viewing certain folders (my home folder and /) Dolphin flickers. When viewing any other folder there is no flicker at all. I found a post on the Ubuntu forums which claimed this is a qt3 problem, but if that is the case Dolphin should flicker when viewing any folder, right? The same holds for my video driver (fglrx 8.3).
Anyone got any suggestions?

We once had a patch for qt3 applied to our packages, which prevented the flickering in konqueror by creating a small buffer for the icons... It was exactly the same scenario you are describing here...
However, this patch does not work properly anymore (it does apply, but there are some small rendering issues, especially when moving icons on the desktop), but if you are a programmer you could take a look at it
Here is the patch: http://www.kdemod.ath.cx/svn/branches/k … view.patch
Apart from that, i have no idea...

Changing icons in dolphon file manager

I am a little lost. I recently installed the oxyfaenza icon theme on my kde desktop. It is looking great except for the fact that the split view in dolphin file manager stays the same as with the oxygen icon theme. I have tried changing the icon via configure toolbars dialog in doplhin but the icon reverts back to the oxygen icon after one use. Does anyone know of a solution, any help would be appreciated.

Was you able to resolve above issue , if yes please let me know. I am experiencing the similar problem of loosing connection frequently with the network connection.

How delete unwanted system sync in file manager?

Hello! As a result of testing Z10 10.1.0.2014, Blackberry Link wifi sync of files with my Windows PC, I have extra repositories listed in File Manager on the Z10. The list shows "Device", "Media Card", "Box", and also "LT2", "LT2-1 (offline)" and "LT2-2". The string LT2 represents the PC's hostname.
I would like to delete the "LT2" and "LT2-1" entries from File Manager's list, as the Link feature does not work for them (early tests). Also I would then like to rename "LT2-2" (which does work) to just "LT2".
How can I do that? If not presently possible, please consider this a feature request.
I think this is a File Manager feature request, not a Blackberry Link request.
Thanks,

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.

Konqueror as file manager

Is there anyway to get a root version of konqueror as file manager.
On other distros I have used a terminal as root but that doesn't work here. It takes me to a bash shell.
I have a passionate distaste for Dolphin and can't invoke Krusader as root -- same as above.

Ok, why not use sudo?
Would you create a user account for me on your computer and give me rights to run konqueror as root using sudo?

How do you set the default file manager in kde?

I'd like to set dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, how would I go about doing that? I have an installed working copy of dolphin on my comp right now.

pressh wrote:
associate dolphin as default for directories in control center.
kde components -> file associations -> inode -> directory
Thanks, but for some reason when I go in there and change it as a user, it doesn't save the setting, and it doesn't work. However, when I do the same thing as root it works, but of course, it only works for root then.

grizz wrote:but, it's several months waiting
and dolphin is nice
actually i think konqueror is more powerfull in kde3. However, the dolphin version in kde4 trunk is shaping up nice and looks promising.
Dolphin is a little bit less cluttered, and seems to be faster too. Most of the features in konquerer I never use.

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] Auto-open a file manager after mounting with udev rules

Hellooooo,
I followed the udev Wiki for auto mounting USBs and it now works great.
The only problem is: how can I automatically open a file manager of the mounted directory? I tried putting this at the end of the "ACTION=="add"," section in "/etc/udev/rules.d/11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rules" but for some reason nothing happens:
, RUN+="/usr/bin/dolphin /media/%E{dir_name}"
Even if I just try to open dolphin with the "ACTION=="add"," section nothing happens either way.
So what am I doing wrong?
Last edited by algorythm (2011-05-05 12:35:56)

In that case, the best choice in my opinion is to use Automounting UDisks Wrappers :
devmon is a script developed by IgnorantGuru. He left Arch Linux, but the package in AUR is still there and is the last version. For a future new release, it should be available at his blog site. The script is distro independent.
My udisksvm script, in its default state, doesn't launch a file manager after automounting, but it is not a big thing to let the automounting be done and then manually open a file manager (a new entry in the traydevice right-click menu can also be added for that).
If you can do without automounting, there is also the bashmount script from jnguyen.
All these scripts don't require writing any udev rules, they use udisks instead.
I hope you could find something you like and which will suit your wishes.

(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?
