Installing Thunar in gnome causes Nautilus to show a “the location is not a folder” error.

The problem is a thunar dependency called exo-utils.

Removing exo-utils also removes thunar. Some of us need to have both thunar and nautilus installed in gnome:
Since the problem is exo-utils, I have built a thunar .deb without the exo-utils dependency.

Here is how for 64bit:

wget http://launchpadlibrarian.net/69753654/thunar_1.2.1-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb
dpkg-deb -x thunar_1.2.1-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb tmpdir
dpkg-deb --control thunar_1.2.1-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb tmpdir/DEBIAN
gedit tmpdir/DEBIAN/control

Remove ‘exo-utils’ from the ‘Depends’ line and save

dpkg -b tmpdir thunar_1.2.1-3ubuntu2_amd64-no_exo-utils_dependency.deb
sudo apt-get remove exo-utils
sudo dpkg -i thunar_1.2.1-3ubuntu2_amd64-no_exo-utils_dependency.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

Or

Download the package from here:

http://queleimporta.com/downloads/thunar_1.2.1-3ubuntu2_amd64-no_exo-utils_dependency.deb

Done!

I have been looking for something like this.

I can finally deal with dead/weak signal spots.

How the Super Cantenna performs compared to other antennas:
Omni-directional whip antenna
Flat panel semi-directional antenna
Super Cantenna directional antenna

The importance of beamwidth:
Omni-directional whip antenna				360°–Signal travels in all directions for a short distance
Flat panel semi-directional antenna				90-180°–Signal travels in a broad direction for a short distance
Super Cantenna directional antenna				30°–Signal travels in a narrow direction for a long distance.
The Super Cantenna focuses your signal where you use it the most.

By default, every application runs in its own Linux process. Android starts the process when any of the application’s code needs to be executed, and shuts down the process when it’s no longer needed and system resources are required by other applications.

• Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when more memory is needed.
• Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when it’s done doing what it needs to do.
• Android is hard coded to automatically kill a task when you haven’t returned to it in a long time.
• Most services (while possibly running in the background) use very little memory when not actively doing something.
• A content provider is only doing something when there is a notification for it to give. Otherwise it uses very little memory.
• Killing a process when it isn’t ready only causes it to have to reload itself and start from scratch when it’s needed again.
• Because a task is likely running in the background for a reason, killing it will only cause it to re-spawn as soon as the activity that was using it looks for it again. And it will just have to start over again.
• Killing certain processes can have undesirable side effects. Not receiving text messages, alarms not going off, and force closes just to name a few.
• The only true way to prevent something from running at all on your phone would be to uninstall the .apk.
• Most applications will exit themselves if you get out of it by hitting “back” until it closes rather than hitting the “home” button. But even with hitting home, Android will eventually kill it once it’s been in the background for a while.
