linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello guys. I'm sorry i post here, the french forum is impossible to reach since i logged in(??). I can't post the verison of my ubuntu, for i - as the title says - i have lost the administration menu with all the options and infos in it. I just don't know why and when it disapeared, but it is no more in my desktop, right to the "applications" and "raccourcis" links (in french). And the trash too ! I just can't empty it and it will promptly cause problems. Could someone please tell me how i can find them both ? Thanks and a very nice end of year to you. (Hardware)

Trash problems 2 years 25 weeks ago

i have a slight annoying problem with my Trash Folder.I'm using Thunar!Some files are giving error messages when I want to empty the trash."File could not be deleted""Items in the trash may not be modified. Do you want to skip it?"When I say yes it delets them anyway.I cheked the folder at my home/.local...

Originally I had issues with my trash folder because often times I would want to batch delete and I would get complaints about the Trash reaching maximum capacity despite nothing being in there. Not sure what to do I deleted the folder from root and now I can't delete anything.

rm moves files to trash 42 weeks 3 days ago

So I figured recently that rm moved files to the Thunar trash (.local/share/Trash) by getting a nice "disk full" warning on my meager virtualbox disk.By all means, I believes it's a good idea, but it's a shame that it isn't documented anywhere.

I'm trying to create a Bash script which will move files to the trash, basically something that does the same thing as "kioclient move file1 file2 file3 trash:/" but more easily.

Thunar Trash 1 year 24 weeks ago

I'm working on an external USB HDD in Thunar. The /media/MOUNT folder now contains a ".Trash-1000" folder. I removed it with Shift-Del, created a dummy file and deleted it, and the folder re-appeared, so it's definitely created by Thunar. I've done some searching, but I can't find a way to empty the trash from within Thunar. Any ideas?

Not earth-shattering, I don't suppose, but have noticed that since installing 11.3 (Fresh install, x64, DVD), the "Recently Used" list in the "Start(? Kicker??)" Menu, doesn't save applications through a reboot...

So, my wireless is flaking out! I'm going through this document to troubleshoot it:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wi...Device_Drivers

I'm stuck when it tells me to go to "System -> Administration". I have Unity desktop - maybe that's not written for Unity desktop - I can find the System Settings OK but there's no "Administration" and no "Drivers"...

I have reinstalled Ubuntu at least 12 times, it's no joke! I keep doing stupid things to f#$% up the sytem. One thing I have noticed is the want of a System > Administration > menu. I have looked everywhere. I just saw a post that said go to "System > Administration > "Synaptic Package Manager"" but of course I couldn't.
