linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I am probably not the first person with this problem, I have hunted around for a solution but had no luck finding an answer. I am using lubuntu 12.10 fully updated. pcmanfm will not launch from the shortcut in the menu. Code: pcmanfm %U entered in a terminal also does nothing. Code: pcmanfm /home/username works. All help greatly appreciated. (Hardware)

They can be launched from there too.In the pcmanfm arch wiki it sais to install gnome-menus to achieve this.

Maybe it is my fault because I wanted to use pcmanfm 1.0 that i have installed like this but in fact for a

I seem to have some problems with pcmanfm (openbox took over my desktop) and I would like to reinstall in Synaptic but it says it wants to remove (reinstall eventually) lubuntu-core, lubuntu-default settings and lubuntu-desktop. Is that safe?

Lxde (+ wheezy powerpc) here, pcmanfm 0.9.10. When i right click in pcmanfm on a file or a folder and then choose "properties" nothing happens.

Hello all,I recently installed Arch and was setting up PCManFM, but I have run into a few problems. At first, I had no icons, and couldn't see the other internal drives on my system, but thanks to the PCManFM wiki page, I managed to sort those problems out.

As explained here, it is possible to add custom actions to PCManFM's "Open with" context menu, not only programs but various commands.
