I have via Nautilus (Places->)Network, mounted a remote NTFS file-system from a Windows Server and it brings up the Nautilus Browser showing the contents of the file to be viewed. What I would like to do is to do a 'tail' on a log file therein which is a text-file that has embedded ANSI Color Escape Sequences (ACES) (of which tail is the only application that I know of that supports ACES) but for some reason or another I simply cannot open the ACES file with a custom tail or with any application provided by the items in the Open-With menu. If tried to use 'Open-with: "Text Editor"' (which 'gedit'), I get the following error message: Could not open the file /home/dant/.gvfs/d$ on o…ventSink/Logs/Tracker.log using the Unicode (UTF-8) character coding. I tried all sorts of other locales, but nothing I tried seemed to work. I noted, that gedit had no problems opening a non-ACES log file right next to the ACES and it worked. So it seems that ACES is a problem with the editors that I have tried. So, I copied over the ACES file from the NTFS filesystem onto my desktop, and tried to open this ACES file with gedit, and it crashed quite horribly - and it did however popped up a dialog box saying in effect that the file in question was not a text file, but a binary file. The next thing I tried was to open a Gnome terminal window, and issue a tail -f Desktop/Tracker.log and no problems, it worked - just that I haven't figured out how to do this over the mounted NFTS file-system. So, my question is, with what application can I use, if any, that supports ACES, preferably with a tail?
