Indeed, this has not been solved in the Nautilus file browser. But in the place where you are (Places... Search for files), you can make hidden files appear in the results by default. Read the very...

You could install wmctrl and try to work with that: as a final startup command after the launch of all those programs, you'd have it run a list of commands like

wmctrl -r firefox -e...

It looks a bit messy, but I think you can get it to work.

I assume from your description that you have gone into the CompizConfig Settings Manager, into the Place Windows section, into the Fixed...

I can confirm this works on Ubuntu 10.10 too.

I got sort-of halfway with this, but I'll need some help to get the rest done.

What works is using ifuse to mount the device automatically when it is connected to the computer's USB port. What...

I installed ifuse (a utility to mount your iPhone or iPod touch via the USB cable) and I want this to be the default way my iPhone is mounted when I connect it.

Currently, when I connect it, it...

Hm... this didn't work for me with the instructions you gave, but it does if you name the file autorun and construct it as a typical shell script. For instance, if the contents of autorun are...

Oh well, why not... I've submitted it in the official GNOME bug reporting system. Don't get your hopes up, it's not looking like they care much...

Yes, same problem here. I have lost hope that the Nautilus developers are going to take this issue up any time soon. But it annoyed me so much that I took the trouble of installing the entire...

I happen to have installed a DCP-7010 printer/scanner today; it was not all that difficult but there are a lot of instructions to follow.

For the DCP-7030, you'll need the scanner called brscan3...

I guess the quick and easy way to do this using Ubuntu Tweak has eliminated the need for this manual solution, but still... you might want to know exactly what you're doing, or you might want to use...

Oh, actually, what cboese says here is not true for me. With the LC_COLLATE environment variable set to "C", the hidden files are sorted before the other ones.

I still don't understand why sort...

I'm bumping this question -- on other Unix/Linux systems I have the 'hidden' files first, or last: the leading dots are not ignored but interpreted as characters. On Lucid, commands like ls and sort...

That's amazing... does it actually find hidden files like .gtk-bookmarks? What settings did you use?

I've just tried it again, in a freshly installed version of Ubuntu 10.04. Here are the steps:

Open a file browser (Places... Home Folder)
Click the magnifying glass or choose Go... Search for...

For the record (in case other people find this thread), the setting as default happens automatically. So firefox -P is probably the fastest procedure (though the other one works too -- you just lose...

Close Firefox, hit ALT+F2, type firefox -P and choose to create a new profile.

I guess that would mean you hand-edited some of Nautilus's configuration files (since I nor anyone else had found any relevant "official" configuration elements, like Edit... Preferences or the...

Yes, we all know that, but it has nothing to do with the problem described here. If we already "suspect" a file to be in a certain place, we don't need a search function.

Thanks for that.

Apparently the description in Add/Remove Applications forgot to mention that you also need unixodbc.bin. Moreover, a connection to a database must be configured separately in the...

(Depending on your country settings the , might be a ; )

When you install OpenOffice.org Database (3.0) through Add/Remove Programs, there is a reassuring message in the description: it can handle SQLite files, if you install a few packages.

That sounds...

File browser = Nautilus. I agree, half solved. ;)

Did it help?

The answer to your original question is: You can't.

There are other solutions, most of them mentioned above: find, locate, Places... Search, but the most useful thing of all -- hitting the...
