[SOLVED] Gnome Places Menu - Home, Desktop, etc folders open with...

Hello, I somehow managed to get EasyTag to open the links in Gnome's Places menu, but it's driving me insane.
I've tried:
-removing EasyTag, which doesn't fix the problem, and leaves me with the error "Could not open location file:///home/james"
-setting folder properties from within nautilus to open folders with "File Browser", but that does nothing
-looked in gnome-conf in /desktop/gnome/applications/component_viewer
-searched for easytag in gnome-conf
I've look high and low for answers, but none of which seem to help me out.

Transmission-gtk: "Open Folder" opens Gwenview instead of... (Solved)

This might be a silly question.
I'm running KDEmod. I recently switched from vuze to transmission-gtk, and when I click on "Open Folder" in the context menu of a torrent, the folder opens in Gwenview instead of Dolphin. There's nothing in Preferences about pointing to a file manager, so I'm stumped.

To answer your question, I get a "Launch Application" window allowing me to choose which application with which to open it, and giving me the option to have my choice be remembered by the system.
However, your solution worked
Now I just have to figure out how to get Firefox to handle file links properly without bringing up the annoying window--or decide whether or not to make the effort.
EDIT: Scratch that . . . it just took some playing around in Preferences. Now, no more annoying dialogue box

[solved] Gnome / Nautilus: Open With CLI programm

Hello,
How can I add CLI programs such as sxiv Image Viewer to the Open With context menu entry in Nautilus?
In particular I want to open images with sxiv by default when clicking on the image in Nautilus.
Thanks
Last edited by orschiro (2013-08-09 20:21:56)

I think the list of "Open With" applications is created by reading the ".desktop" files that are on your computer. You can read about them here. The sysem files are in "/usr/share/applications" and your personal ones are in "~/.local/share/applications". Just create a .desktop file for sxiv that uses a command similar to the one cellisten posted.
GNOME probably also has a way to create .desktop files with a GUI (I think it used to be called "alacarte").

Did you copy your OWN file into a directory that's controlled by pacman?

Gnome, Nautilus / Pcman Main menu Opening Find File instead of Home

Hi there,
I am running two user, mine on Compiz-standalone with Pcman as it's lighter.
The second user is using gnome and therefore need and want to keep using nautilus,
The problem is when trying to open the Home folder from the Gnome main menu, a dialogue box "Find File" is opening instead of the Home folder by Nautilus.
Now after searching the forum, I edited the /usr/share/applications/mime.cache
However this hasn't change the problem, I try restarting the PC for the change to take effect but without success.
Any suggestion on how to resolve this annoying bug?

I am having the same issue, using regular Gnome with Nautilus. I started noticing it after the upgrade to Gnome 2.30. Clicking any of the top section buttons under the Gnome panel's "Places" menu brings up "Find Files" searching inside the folder, instead of Nautilus on the folder. Clicking on "Computer" actually does bring up Nautilus.

Cannot open folder files in browser window

Since the last 5 or so firefox update, i notice i am unable to open folder
files in the browser window on most of the websites i
have been on. Therefore if i need to upload a file on a website
when i click the open folder button on the website, i am
not seeing the folder window open with all my files on my
computer that i need to select. Instead i have to use another
browser to do all my uploads, and that breaks my momentum.
How can this be corrected?

Hi hardworker2014,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.

Downgrade to an older nightly that works for a week or so, then test again to see if the bug's still there. In the mean time, report the bug on Bugzilla if it hasn't already been. There's really nothing you can do about bugs in nightlies.
(A similar sort of bug that triggered 60 seconds after opening, every time, was what got me out of using nightlies as my main browser.)

[SOLVED]New .pdf files won't open in Gnome

Hi all,
Just noticed this today; seems easy to replicate, just print a pdf somewhere, or download one, and attempt to open it with nautilus. I don't get a preview of what the file looks like before opening, and upon double-click, evince merely flashes up for a moment and closes. ePDFviewer has a similar effect. Deleting ~/.thumbnails/fail doesn't regenerate a preview either. Also, old pdf files keep their previews and open fine.
I'm going to blame something within the very recent gnome update. Any help with this one?
Apologies if this is somewhere else; I couldn't see anyone mention it, and it seems like an obvious bug :S
Last edited by o1911 (2010-10-07 14:55:24)

I have the same problem. I can't open some pdf files with evince. But I don't think it's a evince problem. I tried with apvlv and both give me segmentation fault. There is a problem with some package that avoid me to open some pdf files? This start to happen, if I notice, after the upgrade of gnome related packages I think.
I can open all my pdf files in my computer and as well some of random pdfs found at internet.
This is one of the the pdf I can't open: http://www.fct.unl.pt/estudante/datas/2 … _final.pdf
I tried on debian squeeze (I have installed on a virtual machine) and I could open. That's why I think this is related somehow with the new gnome packages.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3 : Nautilus won't start from other application

Hi everyone!
Ok I search everywhere and I found nothing. I have this problem for a long time for now. My interface is in french so I'll try to translate the message but they could be differente in an english gnome.
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

Need help! how to open a shared folder thru web browser

Hi to all LV'ers,
as the subject implies, i am trying to find a way to view the shared folder w/in the company network thru web browser. is this possible? is there a much easy way?? i never been used FTP vi's before or any other vi's to deal with this situation but i successfully used web publishing tool to make an access of LV front panel remotely using "web publishing tool". btw, im using LV 8.5.1.
my purpose for this is to let our boss to have a quick access of the data from excel files (w/ "s" because many excel file report is generated everyday for data updates) resided in remote computer (this computer runs the LV program and we can view its front panel remotely thru web publishing tool but i also need to view the folder of this computer that contains files). that is why im finding a way to have an access not only a specific excel file but a specific folder. ofcourse, we can access the shared folder thru "my network places>>entire network>>microsoft windows network" if the folder is shared but our boss is far more convenient if we LV programmers can create a button to automatically lead them to the folder containing files they needed.
I hope anyone already done dealing with this can shared their solutions.
deeply appreciate your help!!
regards,
ivel

Solved!
Go to Solution.

i think what i told in my 1st msg makes things more complicated than what i really need, sorry for that.. but for sure, i need this to be done in LV because the data from excel files was generated by LV program and this LV program is displayed in our web (thru web publishing tool), see picture below.
what i want to do is to add a button here in front panel that when pushed, will show the folder consisting of several excel files. with this, i can choose what particular excel file to be opened. sorry guys i make you confused in my situation. here i attached i simple VI to let me open the excel file but unfortunately when i select the desired excel file, the dialog says "path not found". when i browse and open the excel file manually using "entire network>>microsoft windows network>>remote computer name>> shared folder>>excelfile", i can successfully opened it.
i dont know why i cannot make a valid path using my attached vi. maybe there's something wrong with my program,please let me know. the attached vi is LV 8.5.1. i will used this vi as a subvi later in the front panel shown above.
thanks in advanced for help..!

[SOLVED]Gnome 3 | There is no application installed for _any file type

I just installed arch and gnome 3. I'm trying to open files via nautilus, but get "There is no application installed for ..." for any type of file I try, including plain text files, binaries, etc. Do I have to configure gnome manually for it to open these files? I've read the arch beginner wiki and the gnome wiki, but this problem is not mentioned there. Any help would be appreciated.
EDIT: Solved
There were three things I needed to do to get this working correctly:
1. $ pacman -S gnome-mime-data
2. For text files, pacman -S gvim #This conflicts with vim, but the package gvim now contains vim (and vice versa, but nautilus won't open files unless gvim is installed instead of vim)
3. Binary files: I tried running some binaries I programmed on Ubuntu, but they wouldn't run until I recompiled them. Duh.
Note: I still have a small issue when opening a file that has no mime data associated with it. I can click "select application," but I am forced to choose from a very limited list, and there is no option to enter a command or browse for other programs.

........ I still need to install some packages, including libre office, a music player, an image viewer, etc. I'd like to get back much of the functionality that I had on Ubuntu, just with a little less bloat.
Cheers.
Regarding your music player, I recently had a struggle deciding which way to go.
Banshee, no, pulls in gnome and mono stuff (running as pure a Xfce desktop as I possibly can here). Exaile, have tried and really don't like it. Rhythmbox, again, too ingrained with gnome libraries for my liking. Amarok, unfortunately the love affair ended with 2.0. Clementine (read Amarok pre 2.0), yes please, but a gtk port would be nice, I have no other use for Qt. Songbird, yes please again, but no longer linux supported. Nightingale (read Songbird fork), seems to have lost momentum.
Of course, this is all just my personal opinion, but you can see the problem I had. There does not seem to be a 'large project' desktop agnostic music player/organiser for linux. They all seem to be deeply tied into Gnome or Kde.
My solution, if you want something lightweight, is MPD and Ario. MPD is just your background daemon that looks after managing your library/database, and Ario is a gtk 'frontend' that will let you search and sort your MPD database, and create the playlists to be played with MPD. The beauty of this system is that you do not need a music app to be running to play your music. Just the lightweight MPD daemon. Once a playlist has been loaded, you can close Ario and just let MPD do it's stuff.
I know Xfce has a panel app that lets you control MPD and even launch Ario to change playlists. I'm sure the other desktops will most likely have some sort of panel app too (I have even written a simple little python script that monitors MPD track changes and diplays a notification).
Anyway, just my thoughts on the issue. For more MPD info, see the wiki at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mpd
Cheers.

File browser crashes frequently during Open/Save

My late-2011 15" MBP running Mavericks recently started exhibiting a new bug.
In many applications (Postbox, IDLE, PhotoShop CS5, Lightroom, etc) the file browser crashes almost (but not quite) every time it's used.
If I choose > File > Open and start navigating the directory tree, it crashes the application (sometimes showing a generic error message, sometimes just quitting, depending on the application). If I open a Recent document the problem doesn't occur, but if I then try to > File > Save As and navigate the directory tree, it recurs.
This doesn't happen all the time, but once it's started to occur it continues until I reboot.
I've installed a 3rd-party SSD in the primary drive bay, and the standard Apple HDD in an Optibay. But I made this change a while ago and the problem is only new. I'm also running Windows 7 via a Parallels VB (and also Bootcamp) but the problem also occurs even if I don't boot up the VM.
I can attach a crash report if that's any use. I haven't seen any similar problems reported online.
Thanks for any advice,
Steve

Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful.

How to add a new right-click menu entry in Nautilus file browser?

I want to add a couple of new context menu entries to Nautilus File Browser.
So when I e.g. right-click in View Pane on a file "foobar.conf" an menu entry "edit with gedit" should appear (among the other default entries).
When clicked the file "foobar.conf" should be passed to gedit (and gedit editor opened).
How can I achieve this?
Under Ubuntu there are nautilus-actions but when I try to install them in Solaris with
pkg install nautilus-actions
then this package is not found.
How else can I create my own context menues?
I would appreciate to have one script with all my context menus, which when run add them all in one step.

To manage selected files or directories, you can use specific Nautilus variables like NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS.
For more details and which variables exist, please read the content of the following URL :
