Debian :: Debian Menu Bar Not Visible
May 4, 2009
am new to this Linux world and a full time windows user. Now planning for a switch over and installed Debian into my PC as a parallel OS with windows.However, am facing the following problems after installing the os.
1. The menu bar is not visible, nor the application bar. I use Gnome and have attached a screen shot of what I see when logged in.
2. I am not able to play any movie files as it says that there are no drivers for that.
3. I do not see anything through which I can see the applications installed.
4. I am not able to access any drives of windows through this. It says access denied.
5. How do I log in as a root user?
I have used Puppy Linux before this and it was simplistic.

i am having a problem on Ubuntu 10.10. In system menu, there is no Administration or Preferences menu.Also, application menu does not show anything. I am using Ubuntu since 2 weeks and still not used to to the terminal commands for running applications and admin tools.
one more thing.When i booted my PC today it reported an error and process terminated before reaching the login window. So i restarted and chose recovery mode. it also reported some errors and tried to fix the problem. it deleted some files i think. and my system is working again but with above mentioned problem.

I have ssh and http server running on a linux box.The interface is DHCP configured, using dyndns.org to register its assigned IP, my ADSL modem does not do routing.When i reboot the system none of the servers are visible from the outside...Recently i got a hint to add "ping google.com" to cron run every 5mins. With this hack the servers become visible, and i can see/connect from the outside; - but for obvious reasons ont like this solution.Anyone is able to shed some light why the server needs to do outgoing tarffic to become visible?

I am trying to replace an existing ubuntu installation with the current debian testing release. But when it comes to select partitions to install on none of the existing partitions is visible. I only see my SATA hard drive empty. The existing installation of Windows is still bootable and fdisk as well as cfdisk correctly recognize the partition table while parted (which I assume is used by the installation process; all tools run from a live cd) is not:
[root@localhost liveuser]# cfdisk /dev/sda
cfdisk (util-linux-ng 2.18)
Disk Drive: /dev/sda
Size: 160041885696 bytes, 160.0 GB
Heads: 255 Sectors per Track: 63 Cylinders: 19457 .....
[root@localhost liveuser]# parted /dev/sda unit s print
Error: Can't have overlapping partitions.
I am not sure what parted's error message means. I can hardly imagine that it complains about the logical partitions with in the extended one. The reasons for the trouble might come frome the fact that sda4 is marked as primary partition (see cfdisk output). If this is the case, how can I repair this?

I have a laptop running Debian stable. I have used xfce for a long time, but in an attempt to get away from needing to haul a mouse everywhere, I decided to migrate to xmonad (raw, with no DE), a tiling window manager that is extremely keyboard-friendly. I've also switched to conkeror (not konqueror, mind you), a very keyboard-friendly firefox-based browser. I have completely eliminated my need for a mouse on this laptop and have even disabled the touchpad by blacklisting the psmouse driver. There is still an annoying visible cursor sitting in the middle of the screen upon starting X. Is there anyway to (probably in the X config files) disable the visible cursor, or if not, have its default starting location be the bottom right corner (where it's least visible)?

I have a problem after installing Debian and running it on my machine. Instead of taking me to a splash login screen, it instead remains a black screen like a console where I type in my username and password, and it remains in this black command line mode beginning ben@ben-desktop:~$. Like it does in a terminal. What can I do to resolve this? This is completely new to me and hasn't happened to me in Ubuntu or Mint. I am familiar with using the terminal for the odd task but obviously I can't use it like this without a visible desktop.

Everything default.Everything works nicely with one exception. I can't connect to MySQL from the network.nmapping localhost tells me 3306 is open but nmap from the outside shows only ports 22 and 111 open. To my knowledge I have no firewall, iptables -L gives an empty set.I have several similar installations on the same network without any problems of this nature.

Debian 8.1
Kernel 3.2.0
xfce4
I own a secondary SATA disk I used without problems. In the last days I updated to 8.1 and after that I was not able to read the disk. The fdisk -l command has the output:
Code: Select allDevice   Boot Start    End  Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdc1Â *Â Â Â Â 63 117194174 117194112 55,9GÂ 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
Disk /dev/sdb: 37,3 GiB, 40020664320 bytes, 78165360 sectors

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x00087e23
The disk is mounted on:
Code: Select all/dev/sdc1 on /media/stefano/MobileSata type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2)
When i access to the disk, i always have the error:
Code: Select allstefano@GhilbaDebian:~$ ls -l /media/stefano/MobileSata
ls: impossibile to access to /media/stefano/MobileSata: input/output error
In the dmesg there is no particular message.

Ubuntu 10.04 I removed the Me Menu from the panel and then put it back (right click -> Add to Panel -> Indicator Applet Session). The Me Menu came back, but my name is not on the panel. When the Me Menu came back it was just a small blank on the panel next to the Power Button. There was no name, no icon, no nothing to tell me that was the Me Menu. In fact, I only accidentally found it when I happened to click in that blank space. I checked to see if there was any sort of Preferences setting for the Me Menu so I could get it to display my name for me to click on (like it did before), but could not see a setting like that. How can I make the Me Menu to be more visible than just a blank spot on the panel?

Applications working properly with SUDO only UBUNTU Noteboox 10.10 XUBUNTU I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick notebook version on my HP Compaq nc6400 (Intel core2 CPU T5600@1.83GHZ). Later installed Xfce4. So, I am now on Xubuntu on top of Ubuntu (it seems).Coming to my problem, even though application working fine normally, Menu is not displayed in most of the applications. Ex: Transmission, GIMP, Mousepad, Pinta, gedit ........ No application shows the file,edit.. menus.
Also file sharing is also not possible in normal mode. When I right click on any folder or file sharing option is not visible. But if I run these applications with SUDO the menus are appearing. When I open nautilus with SUDO , I am able to get sharing options in right click. I tried the below command as advised in thread.php?p=6474144 But it failed

I have a clean install of openSUSE 11.4 64 bit using gnome as the desktop manager. When selecting applications from the gnome menu, randomly the application will appear to not launch. However, if I click anywhere in left, upper portion of my desktop it becomes obvious that the application has launched and is not visible. For example, yast will not appear but clicking in that portion of my desktop causes various windows to appear that correspond to the different options in the yast home screen.

Menu sometimes will stay visible on the desktop or on top of other windows after selecting them. To fix it I normally log out then log back in. Its been doing it for a few weeks. I install lots of eye candy/themes etc and have Avant, docky and cario-dock and think it be may some eye candy I installed, not sure. I have a ATI graphics card thats been tested by the distro.Using the latest 10.10 as I update security and recommended updates via update manager.

The top and bottom menus appear after running gnome-panel in a terminal, but it does not fix the left had side launchbar.If i click in the area where the launch bar is I can start some applications, and sometimes the bar will flash ever so briefly.I am really excited to move away from Microsoft, but I wont be able to until this last piece of the puzzle is fixed.My system details are as follows:

I run a minimal Lenny install, with icewm. Everything works, but I'd like to change the menu around a bit. I've spent months reading all the docs I can find, both Debian and Icewm, and Googling for other hints. But I cannot find on my computer a file whose contents correspond with what actually appears on the screen. Is there such a file? Or does the menu get sort of assembled in situ from the various bits and pieces scattered around the filing system? Looked at: /etc/X11/icewm/menu, /usr/share/icewm/menu, /home/gerry/.icewm/menu (doesn't exist), /usr/share/menu/. None of these appears to be the right one, they all have items missing, or items for non-installed programs which don't appear. I'm perplexed.

Just recently after update Squeeze, Adobe and Google chrome disappeared from my gnome main menu, and even I wanted to add them by myself, nothing worked out.
Yet another problem, I have to use EDUROAM in university, when i use Debian, with the same strength of signal, it can not make a connection, but can be very well used in Windows. I am suspecting 'Network manager'.

I am not sure if this is a qGIS issue or something to do with my desktop themes? In both KDE and GNOME Classic qGIS 2.12 does not have a menu bar, but only toolbars. What can be possible causes of this? In KDE the Windows Decorations are set to BE II preview, with a customized Desktop theme. Could this cause the menu bar not showing?

I think I have uncovered a BUG in the APPLICATIONS -> GAMES Menu system. I have UN-Checked all Games except for:Sudoku, DosBox, Chess, and AisleRiot Solitaire. But all the Games are still displayed that were installed from DVD.I have done a Logout, and Login, and Power Off. The games still do not show only the ones selected.See attached Games1.pngI have tried to submit a BUG Report but obviously I don't understand how that system works, as it just closes the window.

So I'm using Iceweasel 4 from the mozilla.debian.net repos. I recently upgraded a friend's computer from Windows Vista to Debian Linux. I went over to his house to chill and hopped on his computer to check my Facebook and noticed that his Iceweasel has the Firefox 4 single menu button at the top left of the window. He's not a tech-savvy user so he probably enabled this feature by accident, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. He's using the same version of Iceweasel as myself by the way.
