Hope this is in the right place and I apologize in advance if it is not.
Many people would like not to have to open a terminal or have more granular control over permitions that can be achieved using PAM permissions(read the man pages for PAM for more information) and the consolehelper.
Good Afternoon
The scenario is :
Fedora 10 - latest update ( all but one from today with dependency problem - libnetfilter_conntrack.i386 )
Anyway.
The fedora boxes are authenticating to windows ad. works fine.
User Documents folders are being mounted via pam_mount. works fine.
I would like to configure gedit so that everytime I double click on a text file it will open on a new window instead of a new tab. How can this be done?
Something like,
gedit --new-window "file name"
, but with a double click
Using ubuntu 12.04 with cinnamon, and gedit - Version 3.4.1
Thanks
I have vim.desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ directory with these lines:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Vim Text Editor
Comment=Edit text files
TryExec=vim
Exec=vim
Terminal=true
Type=Application
Icon=terminal
Categories=Utility;TextEditor;
StartupNotify=true
MimeType=text/plain;
This .desktop file works fine at this point (i.e.
I save links as files, rather the using bookmarks. I just drag the URL field from Firefox onto my desktop/folder.
Recently these stopped opening in Firefox, and started "opening" in Gedit. Even in Gedit, the file errors.
i'm trying to come up with a good .desktop file for sublime text 2, but middle click isn't opening a 2nd window, and when I specify an Exec line with --new-window sublime opens 2 windows to start!
Is there any way to specify a different command line when you middle click (shift click etc) on the unity launcher?
I've seen this issue on both computers I've installed fedora 18 beta on, both fresh install and after all updates. Double clicking a text file in nautilus often doesn't open nautilus, instead there's just a busy cursor for a minute and nothing happens. If I double click the file again it will open. This is incredibly annoying.
I am running Firefox 15 on Ubuntu 12.04.
If I go to a website with a .deb link, Firefox downloads the file, then tries to open it with gedit. If I use Nautilus to open the .deb file, it runs it in either gdebi or Ubuntu Software Center (I've experimented with both).
Oddly, no matter what I've done I can't seem to get Firefox to believe that debs should not be opened by gedit.
How do I manage to find all files in a directory and subdirectories and run a command on them?
For example,
find . -type f -name "*.txt"
finds all txt files and:
find . -type f -name "*.txt" | gedit
sends it to gedit, but inside a text file. I want gedit to open all text files.
