[ubuntu] Folder not opening.

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, I have been fooling about on my Ubuntu 10.04 PC and now when I try to open a folder with the Places menu, it opens with Totem and the videos in it starts playing automatically. But I cannot get it to open with nautilus. I also tried with Cairo-dock and Gnomenu but nothing happens. I tried removing Totem and now when I open it a Dialog appears saying: Could not open location 'file:///home/ubuntu/.wine/dosdevices/c:', No application is registered as handling this file. The only way to open my folders are by clicking their links on my Desktop. Please help. Thank you (Hardware)

After upgrading to Ubuntu 11.10, I once right-clicked on a folder and told it to open the folder with Movie Player ("Open with other application...").

No harm done there, right? Nope, now Ubuntu opens folders with Movie Player instead of Nautilus. If I plug in a thumb drive, Movie Player opens.

If I click on the trash icon... Movie Player!

Hi. This happened after some pacman -Suy, but I noticed just now.gvfs-open, xdg-open, clicking on a downloaded file in Firefox or transmission-gtk opens a containing directory in nautilus and highlights the file instead of opening it.Clicking the file in Nautilus does open the file.

I connect from Ubuntu 12.04 to a Windows 7 on another computer connected to the LAN using nautilus > File > Connect to server. Most of the time it works fine, but sometimes when I open it and try to open the Windows "Users" folder Ubuntu opens it (or try to because it hangs) with a text editor.

I just setup a new Ubuntu PC. I can see the shares, navigate folders, but when I try to open I cant, says permission denied. Using the new Ubuntu pc, I can connect to a win7 box and open its shares.

Another Ubuntu install can open the shares that the new ubuntu install cant. The shares are open to everyone on the ubuntu machine.
