[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
Confirmed for Plank-Marlin pair: https://bugs.launchpad.net/marlin/+bug/792733/comments/5 Same workaround - "marlin ." This bug also haunts Slingshot. The funny thing is that if I set Marlin as the default file browser, put a file or folder in Plank and open containing folder via right click, everything works. ** Changed in: plank Status: New => Confirmed ** Also affects: slingshot Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - Nautilus not start + Can't launch file managers -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511511 Title: Can't launch file managers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/docky/+bug/511511/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
The workaround that involves making a launcher that points to /home/user seems to end up having two nautilus icons in the dock when I click it which is quite annoying. Very silly that this bug still exists, especially considering the program has been rewritten. I can't believe its considered low importance, being able to launch things properly is pretty essential for a launcher. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511511 Title: Nautilus not start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
@Peter, it is very deterministic. The problem only manifests when Docky auto-starts. When that happens, Nautilus fails to launch. I believe the issue is that some environment variable(s) are not fully set at that point, Docky inherits that (incomplete) environment, and then passes it on to Nautilus when it launches. The solution is to start Docky after your desktop has loaded. If you auto-start, close and restart Docky and it works perfect. The other solution is to edit your launcher to add the 'space period' at the end of the exec. With this solution, Nautilus always launches. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511511 Title: Nautilus not start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

oKtosiTe's solution works perfectly on Ubuntu 10.10 x64, no side effects! Simply copying the existing File Manger launcher from ~/.local/share/applications and changing the command from "nautilus --no-desktop --browser" to "nautilus --no-desktop --browser ."

[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
I am using Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. I also could not open nautilus from docky with the command: "nautilus". I had to change the command to "nautilus /home/[user name]" What worked for me was... 1. created a panel shortcut for my home folder 1.1 rt click on panel (brings up menu) and select "Add to Panel" 1.2 choose "Custom Application Launcher" 1.2.1 for field "Name": [type in any description you want] 1.2.2 for field "command": nautilus /home/[user name] 1.2.3 for field "comment": [type in anything you want] 1.3 Drag new shortcut icon to Docky Chad -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511511 Title: Nautilus not start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
ANOTHER WORK AROUND I've tried the solutions mentioned above without any luck. So I did a bit of experimentation and found a workaround. I copied the "File manager" launcher found in usr/share/application and renamed it. (In my case "File Browser Docky") I opened the launcher in g-edit:- sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/"File Browser Docky".desktop and edited the entry to look like this -- [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=File Browser Comment=Browse the file system with the file manager Exec=nautilus /home Icon=system-file-manager Name[en_GB]=File Manager docky --- Notice that I have added a file path at the end of the Exec line which points the the folder I want to open, change this to the one you want to open. for example Exec=nautilus /home/reginald/music/sugarcubes OR Exec=nautilus /home/ronny/pictures/muckypictures Save the file and drag it to Docky.

[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
I tried the mentioned hack by kevin consisting of dragging an
application launcher to docky. This worked at first, but for some
reason doesnt work anymore, and I didnt upgrade. The nautilus icon just
bounces up and down and nothing happens.
I really don't understand how this bug can be considered new or of low
importance. I second what karlrt said that this is the hottest bug in
docky. Is anyone developing this project anymore? It seems like a
program designed to launch programs should be able to launch a file
browser if it can launch anything. All this button action needs to do
is perform something like system("nautilus");
I really love docky and it comes much closer to meeting my needs than
the competition, but an obvious atrocious bug that renders the program
virtually useless which has gone on unfixed for this long makes me
seriously doubt the abilities and motivation of the developers. It's
time for a fork.

[Bug 511511] Re: Nautilus not start
I can confirm this. Is there anyone accually having no problems with nautilus integration in docky at all? I had this with gnome-do in 10.04, and now the same again with docky in 10.10, on different hardware and installations, so it looks like a very general issue! I also think this is a serious issue, because it is wide-spread (everyone uses a file-browser every day, and wants to use it in docky) If you look at the bug heat, this bug is the hottest in docky, so IMHO it shouldnt be considered as "low" importance! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/511511 Title: Nautilus not start -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
