I guess I didn't. :) In hindsight that seems obvious. But I'm a Gnome refugee, and in Gnome you don't have to add %f to get the launcher to pass that info, so it never occurred to me to try that...

I guess I didn't. :) In hindsight that seems obvious. But I'm a Gnome refugee, and in Gnome you don't have to add %f to get the launcher to pass that info, so it never occurred to me to try that...
That solves my problem. Marking thread solved. Thanks!
Well, almost. The problem with that is that changing the mime type icon association would change the icons for ALL shell scripts, not just the particular ones I'm interested in altering.
Aha....
Let me see if I have this correct.
You don't know how to code, and you think no one should ever have to use the command line. You think Ubuntu is too complicated. And you want to build an OS...
Thank you, but as I said originally, I cannot use launchers. The scripts must actually be located on the desktop to function.
There is a good reason for this. These scripts are designed to act...
Nobody?
I'm using Xubuntu 11.10. I've got a couple of script files on the desktop and would like to assign them different icons than the default "page" icon that shell scripts usually have. I don't want...
You are missing a space between the URL and the word "lucid" in line 6 and 7.
You also don't need to have the same pair of repos repeated three times. Once each will suffice.
Boot from a live CD, mount your hard drive to /media, and edit /media/etc/hosts as root. Save and reboot.
Banned for putting the Microsoft logo on a Linux forum, Xed out or not.

As I recall, plymouth is so tied into the boot process that it's difficult if not impossible to extricate it.
Why not just use the nosplash option in your boot instead? That'll give you your...
Probably just a brute force bot attack on hotmail, trying passwords and accounts at random. It happens. You're lucky they didn't change the password and lock you out of the account completely once...
Good point. I think mine has only 8.
He'd probably have to install a PCI-E SATA controller to get the extra ports. He could get away with a cheaper PCI controller if he just needed one extra...
I think those who blame it on the interface change are correct. Unity lost Ubuntu a lot of supporters and momentum.
Look at what's happening with the downstream distros. Crunchbang, which used...
I prefer Linux's software RAID over hardware RAID controllers. The goal of giving RAID control to a dedicated piece of hardware was to take the load off the CPU, but that was years ago when CPUs...
Banned with a fade into transparency.
Banned for an avatar that makes Tux look like Crazy Frog with a gun.
Some distros do. There are legalities surrounding proprietary formats like Flash, audio/video codecs, hardware drivers, and other stuff. Some distros play it safe with those things and ask the...
Banned for non sequitur.
The best way to see the difference is to boot from a Kubuntu live CD and try it out.
Personally, I'm not a big fan of KDE in general or Kubuntu in particular. KDE is very complex and...
Banned because I'm allergic to cats.
Which version of Ubuntu did you install, and can you describe the conditions leading up to the freezing?
I assume you mean DVDFab HD Decrypter, right? As someone else already pointed out, that works fine in Wine. But if you would prefer a native Linux app, k9copy works well.
If you add an untrusted repo, and that repo contains later versions of things already installed on your system, the next update will try to update them from the new source. This is likely the reason...
