Tips: Gnome File Manager

Tips & Tricks

I can never decide which I prefer, a desktop gui or simply a shell.  To complicate matters, I can never decide which shell I like from the many that are available or which desktop I like from all of the various flavors (lightweight to bloated).

So, I had been using gnome lately and one thing I hate about the default mode of file management, is that every time you click on a new folder, it opens up in a new window.  By the time you have clicked and opened up about 10 different folders, now your desktop is a mess with a bunch of open folders.

Well, this tip will help you get the single-window mode most people prefer (I am most people...lol).

Click on anything in gnome to open up the file manager.  The click on Edit > Preferences.  Click on the Behaviour tab. Simply tick the Always open in browser windows.  Close the file manager.  Open it back up.  Click on any other folder and now it opens in the same window.

Tips: Rolling out the same software across multiple systems

Tips & Tricksewiget writes "Whenever I run across something new that I feel will save people time, create less headaches, or improve a days work....I like to share it.


This little tip deals with rolling out software across multiple systems. For instance, at one location I manage a combination of Windows and Linux systems. I manage both operating systems using SSH. I recently had to install software across 38 Linux Desktops and servers, and I was not wanting to do this one at a time. I estimated the one-at-a-time method would probably take the better part of the day having to log into each one via ssh, copy the required files, run the commands to extract the files, actually install the files, configure the program, etc. I started looking for a better way. Hence, this article on something called ClusterSSH"
