getting trash icon back to desktop.
I am using FireHydrant and I accidentally deleted my trash icon from my desktop, how do I get it back.
fminmexico. Thank you all for your help and patience I have given up and am going to try another linux.I like Ubuntu but every time that I try to install it it locks at checking file system 15%.Again thanks for your help. fminmexico |
lol the irony, in most linux distro's you can make a launcher by right clicking on your desktop, i've never used FireHydrant, but if you can, make a launcher to folder
Code:
/home/username/.Trash |
also you could make your way to that folder in your filebrowser with hidden files visible and re-instate the trash bin from the trash bin :P, i don't mean to sound rude but this is quite funny roflmao

Would you like to create another one (C shell)?
Wait a minute! |
try looking in your home folder with hidden files visible

Example: If your username is bob, you would point your launcher to /home/bob/.Trash Note that a period (.) in front of a file or directory makes it hidden. To see hidden objects in bash, you'd need to use the ls -a command. FYI: In Windows, a launcher is analogous to a shortcut. It's just a pointer that redirects to another file or directory. |
get gconf-editor
run gconf-editor from alt+F2 and go to the tree of file manager whichever u have and search for the Desktop , mark or unmark the value for Trash Icon , you can also take care of other icons

gconf.editor

Get distro information by running uname -d from a terminal (command prompt). Also it would be helpful to mention whether this is Gnome, KDE, or something else. Searching for FireHydrant, it looks like it's based on Puppy Linux, which defaults to IceWM, I believe, which is why gconf is pointing you in the wrong direction (that's for Gnome). As for the /home/USERNAME/.Trash (or /root/.Trash if you're in the root account), that should be the correct path to your trash can. I'm not expirienced with IceWM nor Puppy nor FireHydrant; but I did find this thread for Puppy linux involving the trash can: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtop...2f846b7a5a178f
Hope this helps, -Josh |
Looks like for IceWM, to get the Trash Can on your desktop it requires DFM (http://www.kaisersite.de/dfm/). If you had the Trash on your desktop before, you probably already have it installed, you just have to use it to regain your icon.
