[SOLVED] GNOME opens thunar as file manager instead of nautilus ??????

When I click on my home folder from the places menu, GNOME opens thunar ... wtf ????
EDIT:
Solved by setting the preferred app for a folder from thunar back to nautilus.

  • [solved] Xdg-open to open everything with file manager

    I like to screw around with my system constantly and xdg-utils is an annoying utility to have to constantly fiddle with. I know there is a way to get xdg-open to open everything with the default file manager, but my google fu has failed me. As of right now I use pcmanfm, and I'm fairly certain I'm sticking with it for the long haul.

    This helped with a xdg-open anomaly. Before installing perl-file-* packages, pcmanfm used to open everything in firefox (which is set as default browser in xdg-open). Thought could be helpful to anyone having problems with applications using xdg-open.

  • [SOLVED] "cannot open shared object file" but library is installed

    I'm trying to run a digital logic simulation tool called "atanua" but I'm getting a missing library error:
    $ atanua
    /opt/atanua101120/atanua: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
    I tried re-installing both atanua (from AUR) and sdl_image (from repos) but the error remains.
    $ ldd /opt/atanua101120/atanua | grep sdl_image
    libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 => not found
    I can find the "missing" library though:
    $ locate libsdl_image
    /usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0
    /usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2
    /usr/lib/libSDL_image.a
    /usr/lib/libSDL_image.so
    And so can the loader:
    $ ldconfig -v | grep sdl_image
    libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 -> libSDL_image.so
    My initial thought is that the problem is a name mismatch between the program and the system, but I don't know the proper way to fix this.  Does anyone know what I should try next?
    Here's my system specs:
    $ uname -a
    Linux 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 19 10:27:51 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
    Thanks for your help.

    You're right. Some how [multilib] got disabled in my pacman.conf so I didn't spot a 32-bit version of the library.  I uncommented the [multilib] lines, searched again, and found it.  Problem solved.  Thank you.

  • [SOLVED] small tango icons in file manager

    I've installed the tango icons from AUR. But the problem is the size of the icons is too small in the file manager i used (both thunar and rox) even though i've zoom it. I think the picture below will describe it better:
    [URL=http://img58.imageshack.us/my.php?image=thunaroq4.jpg][/URL]
    I've done a search in this forum. Someone said something about recompiling the tango icons. Done that but the icons are still small. Anybody has any idea?
    Thanks!

    tango-icon-theme probably should have librsvg as a depend. Please post a bug report.

  • [SOLVED] Gnome: initial working directory set to / instead of HOME

    Solved: See commentary #6
    Hi there,
    Since some weeks ago, don't know what I touched, everything starts from the root directory instead of starting from the home directory. That is, file managers, consoles, emacs, etc. start always in the root directory when searching for a file. I don't know why!
    I have HOME properly adjusted and if I write "cd" in a console I go to home. Is there any other variable that controls the directory to start with?
    Thanks

    OK, I found the problem... quite stupid. I had all the commands that I typically use (I only use shortcuts, never the mouse) bound with gnome keybindings. Somehow the commands start with the working directory in /, and that was the problem.
    Solutions for Gnome:
    -Use another program for keybindings.
    -A quite poor workaround. Create an executable to call your commands:
    #!/bin/bash
    cd && $1
    and it will force the working directory to HOME
    -Gnome working properly??

  • TS3927 My summary tab has disappeared in windows 8 now it asks me where to open eg file manager?

    My summary tab in Itunes has disappeared in windows 8 when I open ITunes.  It keeps asking me where to open now eg file manager.  Totally frustrated.  Can anyone help? 

    What you're trying to do now is:
    EFI->kernel (EFI stub)
    This is appealingly direct, but it's tricky to get working. What the wiki now recommends is:
    EFI->gummiboot->kernel (EFI stub)
    ...or...
    EFI->GRUB->kernel
    These approaches are less direct, but they're easier to configure. The trouble is that both the EFI's built-in boot manager and the EFI stub loader are tricky to configure. For a newbie to get them both configured correctly on a first attempt at installing Arch is very difficult. Getting the EFI to launch gummiboot or GRUB is easier because these programs don't require the complex parameters that the EFI stub loader requires. Those parameters can instead be specified in the gummiboot or GRUB configuration file, which is easier to manage for quite a few reasons.
    If you want to pursue using the EFI stub loader directly, you certainly can. I've learned from experience, though, that it's not worth my time to try to help with users who want to do this. Using an intermediary program is easier to get working. IMHO, the direct approach has no real benefits except that it gives you bragging rights that you've done it. Your system won't boot any faster or more reliably in the more direct approach. (Well, technically it will be faster, by only by a matter of milliseconds, assuming you use a 0 timeout value in gummiboot.) In fact, it will be less reliable, because gummiboot, GRUB, and rEFInd all offer ways to adjust boot options on a boot-by-boot basis, which is very helpful when fixing problems. You can't do this with the direct approach.

  • [solved] [Cinnamon] Search function in nemo file manager

    Hello,
    Is it possible to have a search function in Nemo which is the default file manager for Cinnamon?
    I saw it in Linux Mint, so somehow it must work.
    Regards
    EDIT:
    Well, there is already a default search function. I was just using files file manager instead of nemo but thought it was nemo. Remember to install tracker as well to make use of the search.

    I just tried theh same thing here and it seems that the option connect to a server does not include an option for smb but ou can do it!
    Just type a smb link in the location (you can type Ctrl-l to edit the location in nemo):
    I just tried someting like  smb://[email protected]/share and it worked! It is old but mabe you'll like it!

  • Linux Nautilus as spatial file manager?

    I've been intrigued by the Linux based file manager known as Nautilus ever since I read about it going to a true spatial style file/folder/window metaphor. As far as I can tell, it behaves almost exactly like the Classic MacOS Finder, right down to folder icons greying out as they open in new windows, relentless window/folder view state retention...even keyboard shortcuts. There's a great article over at Arstechnica describing it...
    http://arstechnica.com/reviews/004/software/gnome-2.6/gnome-2.6-2.html
    My question is, do you suppose it's possible to run the Nautilus file manager app via VMware/Parallels virtualization? Mind you, I'm not looking to abandon the Mac OS. Just considering file manager options since the Finder has become so squirrelly. Have looked at the Finder alts (Path Finder, etc...), but they're all just variations on the browser style Finder.
    Thoughts?

  • Kudos on the File Manager Fixes!

    As a group that prefers the "Develop" file manager interface over Dreamweaver, we're stoked about this week's bug fixes -- works perfectly now!
    If you don't already use the file manager, you should consider giving it another try...
    With the exception of auto-complete tags, it's faster than Dreamweaver in most every way
    Faster saving without the need to upload changes (manual or auto)
    Faster access to module toolbox and data
    If you work in the admin while also working in Dreamweaver, you'll notice that Dreamweaver work logs you out of the admin. Not so if you use the file manager instead!
    Doesn't crash like Dreamweaver.
    Doesn't display the spinning ball of death like Dreamweaver (Mac)
    Doesn't require so much window swapping
    Next, I'd love to see a "refresh" function for both the file structure (if you add a web app now, you have to switch to the Manage view, then back to Develop to see it listed in the "Layouts" folder) and a refresh function for web app data fields.
    BTW, if you don't know what the bugs were, they involved auto code intending issues and an odd window scroll jump when deselecting after a "select all".
    Kudos, BC team -- this is a huge improvement!

  • File manager window remains focused in DW CS6

    If I open the file manager window to display my hard drive and the server files, then click on a file in the hard drive display to edit it, it opens behind the file manager window and I cannot view it properly without moving the file manager window, or closing the file manager window. It used to be that when you click on a file like this it would take precedence. I am on a Mac if that makes a difference. Do not have this problem with previous versions of DW.

    Hi:
    I got this from Adobe:
    The issue that you have mentioned will happen only if you have turned on "Application Frame". You can toggle the 'Application Frame' setting from menu item 'Window > Application Frame' in Dreamweaver.
    If you  turn off the 'Application Frame', the file will get the focus after opening it from Files Panel.
    But full frame, fill my 7" screen is a nuisance. I don't want to have it that big every time I open a file. It is ridiculous. I need to have DW operating in one part of the screen while I bring up mail and web pages in the other, and then cut and paste from an email into a DW file page.

  • [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". )

  • [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.

  • Can't open Adobe Flash for SWF file...keeps opening Install Manager instead.

    Hi, I need to open a SWF file made from InDesign (interactive PDF). And when I click on it, Adobe Flash Install Manager keeps popping up with an uninstall manager. I've re-downloaded it three times, re-installed it 3 times. It's just not working. Any suggestions?
    I'm on a Macbook Pro if it matters.

    To view a local SWF you will need the standalone player (Projector) from http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  • Thunar as default file manager for firefox

    i am using xubuntu 9.04..
    I'm using Openbox as windows manager[pure openbox session], it's working great, but i have a problem ...
    open containing folder doestnt recognize Thunar as my only file manager, it keeps asking to open with...
    how can fix this problem?
    thank you in advance

    I am having a similiar issue... when I hit open folder it pops up sometype of file search program
    EDIT: Perhaps this works for you... for some reason it doesn't for me...
    http://rubylution.ping.de/articles/2007 … nder-linux
    Basically navigate to about:config and create the following three:
    network.protocol-handler.expose.file = true (Boolean)
    network.protocol-handler.external.file = true (Boolean)
    network.protocol-handler.app.file = /usr/bin/thunar (String)
    The program that runs instead of thunar has a title "Find Files" -- I did a quick search of installed programs related to "search" and I only have catfish installed and I know that is not the program... How would I go about determing what this application is or what it is a part of? Is there a way I can click on the program and it output the PID so I can then match it up with the entry in top/htop?
    SOLVED : figured it out... it was pcmanfm search program... for some reason it was not opening the folder but instead opening its search program... removing pcmanfm from my system fixed it and now folders are properly opening with thunar
