Thunar vs qtcurve

Hi,
to achieve a consistent look of both qt and gtk apps I'd like to use qtcurve as my gtk-theme.
The problem with this is that thunar no longer uses an icon theme. The entry in the gtkrc.mine isn't read anymore. With any other gtk theme I have no problem. I also tried different icon themes but had no success.
The terminal doesn't give me an error message, too.
Any ideas?

When I've used thunar I have always added the icons to .gtkrc-2.0
It is also what the thunar web page says, but it may be out of date as it hasn't been modified since 2007...

Qtcurve toolbar icon size too large for GTK2

I'm using qtcurve for a unifed look of gtk and qt apps, however I have a small problem which seems to affect only thunar (which I use as a file manager)
The icons in the toolbar are way too large! Here is a screenshot:
How can I reduce their size ?

Try Pressing and holding down the keyboard key Ctrl and then pressing 0 <br> the Control key is on the bottom left (& right) <br> 0 is the number Zero
Using Ctrl + 0 should reset the zoom, note it is set for each individual site.
* see [[how do i use zoom?]]
To get your toolbar back try pressing the keyboard Alt Key (that is probably next to the spacebar) and may temporarily cause the menu toolbar to display, pressing V then T should give you the options to set the toolbars you wish to display such as the bookmarks toolbar. Note your sone may well have been making use of the firefox button, that also give similar access to features
* see [[how do i get the firefox button?]] <-- clickable links (blue)
You may be in full screen viewing mode,that also causes the menu bars to disappear,try pressing keyboard key F11 (wait a few seconds for screen to redraw) that should toggle you in and out of full screen mode.
One thing you may considering in future is setting up on your Vista Operating System separate '''accounts''' for your self and your son, that way each can to some extent make changes the way they like without unduly affecting the other.
When setup like that each user has their own firefox [[profile|profiles]] and again changes can be made separately.
There could be other reasons for your problems, but I am presuming your son just forgot to return the setting to the ones you had been using.

[SOLVED]Mounting usb drives "not authorized" with thunar-volman (XFCE)

Hi,
I'm new to Arch (even though I must be approximately at my 15th try at installing it properly) and I have a problem with thunar-volman.
Whenever I log in as user, and try to mount a usb drive with thunar, let's say I want to plug a drive labeled Ext3_8Go, I get the same message in a pop-up window : "Failed to mount Ext3_8Go (or anything close, not in English in the text), not authorized (that part is in English)"
My install is :
- net install
- partitions : 9Go for /, no swap, no separate /home
- packages : base and base-devel. The only modifications in the package list is that I remove ppp, pcmciautils, and xfsprogs.
- config : at the install stage I only modify rc.conf to change LOCALE and HOSTNAME, and pacman's mirrorlist to allow all French mirrors in addition to the one at the top.
When the usb installation is over, I run this script :
"installation_xfce.sh" (there may be some errors left, I modify this script as I learn) :
#!/bin/bash
# expected environment : freshly installed archlinux, login : root.
echo "Are you connected to internet ? If not, please Ctrl+C and reload this script when connected"
echo "Otherwise, press ENTER to continue installation"
read var_dummy
echo "Creation of the user : please type in your user name :"
read var_username
useradd -u 1000 -g users -G audio,lp,storage,optical,video,wheel,games,power,network -d /home/$var_username/ -s /bin/bash -m $var_username

Any idea ?

Thanks a lot !
That worked !
I stumbled across this part of the wiki several times before, but didn't really understand so I had not tried.
If anyone's interested in the script, here's the corrected version :

echo "Otherwise, press ENTER to continue installation"

Problem with Xfce-svn & thunar

Hi, I've got a problem with Xfce-svn installed via pacman from
Server = http://arch.os-zen.net/pkg/xfce-svn
After logging, Xfce is loading and after while I can see 2 panels and black screen (and without icons on desktop) although I set the wallpaper. It shows up after ca 5 minutes. What's more - when I want to start Thunar I must wait few minutes. I thought it was caused by some error with thunar package, but I've updated thunar few times since it happened first time.
I post this problem on polish forum, but it's unsolved... Can somebody help me?

How did you start xfce? Was it using CPU while you're waiting? You could try to start xterm after x (without desktop), then run the following to see if each of them works:
· xfdesktop &
· xfce4-panel &
· xfwm4 --daemon

HAL Error - Thunar-volman / USB Hard Drive

On my last arch setup, I installed hal,gamin, thunar and thunar-volman. I could then plug in my usb HD and when U turned it on it would mount. I could then read and write to it as a user. This time when I installed the same programs, added hal to my rc.conf, added my user to groups storage and optical, and plug in my drive, I get an error that says

device descriptor read/64, error -110
I just got that same error message (but not some of the others you have) after a system update to kernel 3.4.3-1-ARCH. This happens for me when using a (slow) USB drive... but only under a heavy read/write load. I'd never had this problem before using the same applications and hardware.
So I poked around in the kernel source code. That message occurs when the kernel tries to send a Control Message to a USB device, but the operation times out. But... you can change the timeout value.
If you do a "modinfo usbcore", you'll see that one it's parameters is "initial_descriptor_timeout" and it defaults to 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds)... which is forever in the kernel world, but like I said, I've got a slow USB flash drive... and there's a comment in the code that one particular device needs a 10 second timeout.
So I'm going to try a larger value.
You can change it temporarily by entering "echo -n {some-value} > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/initial_descriptor_timeout" with root authority.
Or permanently, in a file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory and put an "options" line in it... see "man modprobe.d".

[SOLVED] Thunar 1.6 doesn't drag-and-drop with the right mouse button

Hallo all.
It might be something I've done (though I did delete my ~/.config/Thunar directory before upgrading), but Thunar doesn't let me drag-and-drop with the right mouse button, thus stopping me from copying something instead of moving it, etc. Has anyone else had that too?

Come on! Read what GordonGR wrote!
Microsoft Windows, Nautilus, the Haiku Tracker, and probably many other file managers have a feature where, when you right-click or middle-click and drag an icon to a new location, a pop-up menu appears and asks what you'd like to do (Move, Copy, Link). I thought I used to use this feature in Thunar too but it seems to have stopped working in recent versions. Has anyone else had any experience with it?
EDIT: Here's random blogger talking about the feature in an older version of Thunar: http://jeromeg.blog.free.fr/index.php?p … and-tricks So that's good, I wasn't just imagining the feature.

Thunar can not open samba shared

Hi! I installed samba to share files to my Windows VM, I need to run some software to works. I share my home and /run/media/ to share all usb mounted in Linux.
With my VM I have not issues. Windows can see and access to files. If is a usb first I need to access them in linux to mount. not issues.
But when I try with thunar, I use XFCE, I got to browse network I have Windows Network, xpsl421x, XPSL421X (File Sharing). When I try to enter some of them, I receive the next messages:

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

[SOLVED]Can't open shared files in Thunar

While waiting for Gnome 3 I decided to give Openbox a spin in a separate Arch install, using Thunar as the filemanager. Everyting is working fine except opening files from samba shares. My permissions are fine, because I can delete and write files and everithing is fine in Gnome. However, none of the apps (VLC, VIewnior, Gnome-MPlayer, Leafpad are a few I tried) can open them. One exception is evince, but I think it copies the file to /tmp first.
Vlc says:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'smb://depbox/down/anime_file_here.mkv
and prints this to stdout:
access_smb access error: open failed for 'depbox/down/anime_file_here.mkv
' (Permission denied)
I noticed that unlike Nautilus, which mounts shares in ~/.gvfs, Thunar does not actually mount the share anywhere locally, it just passes the smb:// URI to the app.
Is there something I'm missing? Can it be fixed or it's just a missing feature?
EDIT: I just updated vlc and vlc-plugin and everything is working now. Gvfs now mounts shares in ~/.gvfs. No idea what the issue was, as I had it since I installed the new sistem.

I did a:

and a:
lsblk -no UUID /dev/sda1
then recieved the output:

and added this line to my /etc/fstab:

The problem persists. What have I done wrong?

Thunar, Tumbler and (un)mounting

Hello everyone,
I have the following problem, and I suspect it's a bug of some sort.
If I insert a USB stick, memory card or any other sort of removable media, and I access a folder which contains images that can be thumbnailed by Tumbler, it will run tumblerd, which is its daemon, and won't stop even if I try to unmount. It will thus keep the drive busy (possibly for a very long time). I don't even want stuff on removable drives to have thumbnails.
I can unmount by killing tumblerd, but that is hardly a user friendly solution. I suppose the logical thing would be for Thunar to do that itself. What do you think? Are there solutions? Can I disable thumbnailing for removable devices?
Thanks,
Nanthiel

I searched for documentation for tumbler but couldn't find anything. It seems that there is no configuration available either, and the only option in Thunar is the boolean "MiscShowThumbnails". Maybe a quick hack would be to patch Thunar to call "system("pkill tumbler")" or something similar when unmount or eject are clicked...
From the gnome doc about dbus thumbnailing:
Cancel/Dequeue thumbnail requests
<method name="Dequeue">
<arg type="u" name="handle" direction="in" />
</method>
The Dequeue method removes thumbnail requests from the queue. A service implementation is only guaranteed to cancel requests that have not started processing yet when it receives the Dequeue request. A service implementation may cancel an in-progress request if possible, but clients should not depend on this behavior being available.
... which seems to indicate that there is no "good" way of stopping the thumbnailer...

[SOLVED] XFCE + Thunar: "Send to" mail recipient doesn't work

Hi all,
I'm not able to use the "Send to" -> "Mail recipient" Thunar's feature. Right-clicking on a file (or a group of files) and selecting the option, the following error is returned:
Failed to execute default Mail Reader. Input/output error.
I use Thunderbird as e-mail client (correctly configured into the "Preferred applications"), but the same happens with Sylpheed too, so I think this isn't an application-related issue.
Any hints?

I found the following:

It's not very clear to me if this is an Arch or Thunar or Exo bug, anyway installing 'perl-uri' works for me.

Open urxvt in the current working thunar folder

I had a thunar custom action defined for opening a terminal in the current directory but it was opening xfce's terminal emulator called terminal
What would be the command for opening urxvt in a given directory ? sorry for the noobish question

fuscia wrote:
stonecrest wrote:sh -c "cd %f && urxvt"
can't help being ignorant: what is that?
A shell script for entering the working directory and launching urxvt.
Try it and see if it actually works.
I think I tried something like that but wasn't successful...

[SOLVED] Openbox+Thunar, how to show usb devices in thunar?

Hi. I've been running a pretty standard Xfce environment for a while. When I plug in a usb drive, I get a new item pop up in the "DEVICES" section of the left panel in thunar (note, it doesn't automount the device, it just shows that it's there and only mounts it when I click on it...I like this behaviour).
Now, I'm setting up an even lighter-weight environment, just openbox and tint2 with thunar as the file manager. But when I'm logged into the openbox environment, I don't get the item in the "DEVICES" section in thunar (but it still works fine in xfce).
If it run thunar from the command line and plug in a usb drive I get this message in the terminal
(thunar:21205): thunar-WARNING **: Failed to launch the volume manager (Failed to execute child process "thunar-volman" (No such file or directory)), make sure you have the "thunar-volman" package installed.
I don't see why I would need thunar-volman if it works fine in xfce. If I install thunar-volman and do the same, I get this message
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type.
thunar-volman: Unknown block device type.
So I'm wondering if maybe there is a daemon that is autostarted during an xfce session that makes thunar probe for devices to be plugged in or something like that. Why does it work in an xfce session, but not in an openbox session?

Thanks for your replies.
henk: I tried installing polkit-gnome and creating the rule as per the wiki, but it didn't work. Volume detection seems to work fine in xfce without this package.
jv2112: I added udiskie to .config/openbox/autostart and it seems to work. I've had problems with udiskie in the past; it seemed to have some trouble unmounting the drives properly after a write as I would find that the newly written files were corrupt. But it seems to be working fine.
I'll mark this as solved, but I'm still curious as to how xfce-thunar is mounting the usb devices.
One clue is that with udiskie, devices get mounted to /media, whereas in xfce they get mounted to /var/run/media/username/ (or something like that).

Xfdesktop copies files into Thunar instead of moving them with mouse

Running Xfce4 with Thunar as the default file manager.
If I drag a file with the mouse out of a folder in Thunar, onto my desktop, it moves from the folder to the desktop (normal behaviour).
But if I drag a file from the desktop into a folder (either into the Thunar window or straight on-top of the folder icon), it COPIES instead of moves.
That is slightly strange behaviour. Is there something wrong somewhere?

Found a quick workaround but it doesn't 'fix' the original question.
You can drag with a right-click and when you let go, a menu will pop up asking what you want to do (copy, move, link).

Missing text in many programs - Rox, Thunar, Deluge, etc [SOLVED]

Hi all,
I'm having a very confusing problem. Basically, text is just missing from certain programs. Here are a few quick examples:
Thunar:
Rox:
Deluge:
It's very strange. First of all, this just started happening recently, and I don't think after an update or anything. But I know "it just randomly started happening" is a dumb thing to say.
Here is the info I think could be useful:
-I have the ttf-freefont package and the xorg-font family of packages
-I have updated and restarted since this happened; nothing has changed
-The filenames look perfect if I just list them in the terminal (no newlines or anything)
-The filenames that have disappeared aren't anything special, it's seemingly random (no weird characters in them)
-The icons are totally fine
-All the things with missing text are still totally functional if I use them
-I thought this was a file manager issue, but it happening in Deluge too, so nope
-I downloaded and tried Nautilus, same deal, but some files had random words from their name appear. Just as bad basically though
-I also downloaded and tried Midnight Commander (a text based file manager) and everything is perfectly fine in it
Any suggestions? This is very mysterious, and driving me nuts.
Thanks!!
Edit: To clarify, in the Thunar and Rox pictures I just took screenshots of a small portion of a folder. In the Deluge pictures, in the first one those 3 blank looking buttons in that menu should have more words (like "Remove Torrent"), and in the second one, those + and - buttons should also have text.

Cairo 1.12 was just moved into [extra], so chances are this bug will reappear the next time you -Syu. If you're running Nouveau drivers, then the underlying cause of your issue might be this bug:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29495
If this is indeed your issue, then you need to install the xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_git20120512-1 package from [testing]. If you re-enable [testing] and do an -Syu, it should automatically install this package.
