285. Minor bug in ECCE

I'll classify this as a bug, since the specificity of it surely must mean that it is an unintended behaviour. Basically you lose your hand-edited changes in your input files if you're not careful.

By Editor I don't mean the vim editor, but rather then Job Editor in Ecce.

 A demonstation: 

1. Create an input in ECCE. In this case I created a single-point energy calculation of dioxygen. Hand-edit the input file by clicking on Final Edit and add e.g. maxiter 99 in the dft block.

 2. Run the job


 3. Open the Editor. With the Editor open, click on Run Mgmt/Reset for restart. (In spite of the figure below, it has nothing to do with whether the vim editor is open or not.)

 4. Your hand-edited changes are now gone.

 In contrast, if the Editor is not open when you click on Run Mgmt/Reset for restart the changes will be kept.

284. Fix for: nautilus-open-terminal opens in $HOME

Update: due to a change in the exec-arg, if you followed the instruction here you now can't open the terminal (using nautilus) at all if you've upgraded to nautilus 3.4.2. Look at this post to fixing it: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2012/12/another-nautilus-open-terminal-related.html
Everything should now work perfectly.

Original post:
This has been bothering me for the past week or so: if I use nautilus-open-terminal (i.e. right-click in nautilus and select open in terminal) it now always opens in $HOME instead of in the directory I want it to open in.

 Apparently I'm not the only one: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=692518

Luckily the solution is quick and simple: run this in your terminal, then open a new nautilus window:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec gnome-terminal

283. gnome-shell-extension-common 3.0.2 and gnome-shell-extensions 3.4.0 conflict

Not sure how this came about but I might have downloaded and install an unsupported .deb (from here I think) at some point at the beginning of Gnome 3.
Following this post will get you back to a conflict-free system BUT it will also remove debs that depend on gnome-shell-extension-common (i.e. packages that you have have downloaded from the web as deb packages. It won't affect normal gnome shell extensions).

The problem:

Unpacking gnome-shell-extensions (from .../gnome-shell-extensions_3.4.0-2_all.deb) ...
dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-shell-extensions_3.4.0-2_all.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-shell-extensions.mo', which is also in package gnome-shell-extension-common 3.0.2-2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-shell-extensions_3.4.0-2_all.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

and

You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnome : Depends: gnome-shell-extensions (>= 3.4) but it is not going to be installed
 gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab : Depends: gnome-shell-extension-common but it is not going to be installed
 gnome-shell-extension-alternative-status-menu : Depends: gnome-shell-extension-common but it is not going to be installed

 gnome-shell-extension-windows-navigator : Depends: gnome-shell-extension-common but it is not going to be installed
 gnome-shell-extension-xrandr-indicator : Depends: gnome-shell-extension-common but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

The solution:

sudo dpkg --force-overwrite -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gnome-shell-extensions_3.4.0-2_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
sudo apt-get autoremove gnome-shell-extension-common=3.0.2-1
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
