View 6 RepliesI have squeeze with Gnome installed. My problem is the monitor goes into "black" and I'd like to disable any kind of of stanby-mode. If I search for screensaver using Synaptic, I have these packages installed:
xdg-utils
gnome-settings-daemon
but in gnome menu cannot find any screensaver options. Power Manager I've disabled already in the "Startup Programs". Howto disable all screensaver and power-save options from the command line?
Before I leave with a bad taste in my mouth forever from the linux communities here, I'd like to ask one more question. I've been snooping around a bit about this issue of how to automount USB Drives, have them show on the desktop in file managers like PCManFM and not have to touch fstab at all.
How do I do this? Without touching Fstab, GNOME, any other DE. I only want openbox around.Another question I also hope to answer: How do I make shortcuts in PCManFM?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to disable automounting removable media when they are inserted, especially CD and DVD. I use F13 and Gnome. I went through System/Preferences/File Management/Media and set everything to "Do Nothing", see below:
I have installed gconf-editor and verified that all automounting options are unchecked:
according to "/sbin/chkconfig --list" haldaemon is off and automount is not installed.
What else should I check?
I would not mind if USB (flash) disks were automounted
It is possible to install this kind of menu on suse? I watched several movies on yt and it seems to be nice usability improvement comparing to standard OS menu - clean,simple, accessible.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the murky world of X11, window managers, session managers and desktop environments I cannot seem to figure out how to achieve the following in Squeeze:
1. Leave Gnome installed, but prevent it from launching when typing startx
2. Have both X11 and my prefered default window manager (blackbox) startup when I type startx (or similar)
My ultimate goal is to leave Gnome installed but "dormant" and when I do a remote ssh -X be able to use X11 forwarding with blackbox.
I am running debian linux wheezy, and recently, all of a sudden, all videos in my iceweasel browser have been refusing to play videos of any kind at full volume. I am, however, able to download the video and play it at full volume on vlc player or sytem video player.Why iceweasel is acting this way?
View 0 Replies View RelatedI'm running a Debian squeeze system on AMD64, and with recent aptitude safe-upgrade the automounting of gnome/nautilus broke. Now if you click on a usbdrive it give this error: "Unable to mount 'volumelabel' Not Authorized".Previous it automatically mounted it, making/removing mount points as needed in /media, or you could mount by clicking on the drive icon in nautilus. (It varied a bit with package updates, but i didn't worry too much)Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong? I'm lost where to start, and systems nautilus or gnome-volume-manager use to mount things.

Now I want to prevent GNOME from starting unless I specify to do so (startx)! Using sysv-rc-conf I've disabled GDM for any run level. Then I have installed BUM to remove GNOME there as well.

However I don't want Gnome to override that shortcut, I want to be able to use it in IntelliJ. Anyway, the obvious way to disable it, that is, remove it in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" option, does not disable it. Alt+F8 still does the resize window thing.How do I REALLY disable it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI like using kopete, but I want to use it in GNOME. When doing so, I have 2 problems:
1) When I login to my computer, kopete starts up, and kde wallet asks fro my password for the wallet, in order for kopete to login to my accounts. This is very annoying. I find it inefficient to have to enter my password twice when turning on my computer.
2) Everytime a buddy signs on/off, a notification (or sometimes numerous notifications) run down the center of my screen and cover all my active windows.I want to disable knotify and kdewallet to alleviate these problems.
I had this problem also in F12, now in F13. Is there a fix for this? It's kind of annoying.

View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm running 9.10 on my laptop hooked up to an external monitor via HDMI. However gnome places the name of each screen in the upper left corner of each screen so that my laptop has a "laptop 13" icon and my external has an "ACI 22"" icon blocking gnome's Applications Menu. Is there anyway to disable these icons?
They are detailed here: [URL] "GNOME 2.24 has upgraded its screen resolution controls to make this possible. Utilising the new XRandR 1.2 specification from X.Org, this dialogue enables users to easily set up individual monitors in a number of configurations. Monitors are named and the names appear in the top left corner of the screen for easy identification."
I wanted to know if there's a way to remove the icons (including the ubuntu icon in the Applications Places System menu).
I've followed directions in [URL] but this only works for icons under the system menu.
I wanted to have a clean, text only feel in my Ubuntu 9.10 computer. i'm using gnome Version: 2.28.1 by the way.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI was browsing the Internets trying to figure out how to completely disable the right-click button on my mouse. I am running openSUSE 11.3 with just Gnome and using a basic USB Dell model mouse with a scroll wheel. I am creating a Kiosk image and I have everything locked down except when a user is in Firefox they can still use the right-click button to bring up the menu to Bookmark this page and Save Page As, etc (If you right-click a webpage in Firefox you'll see what I'm talking about). I thought I could find an add-on for Firefox to disable this behavior but no such luck. I did find some references for Debian and Fedora, other distros besides openSUSE where you can modify the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to disable the right mouse button. When I look in that directory on my openSUSE 11.3 system I just see /etc/X11/xorg.conf.install.
how can I disable the right-click ability on my mouse? This is the last step and I'll have a nice locked down Kiosk image ready to go running openSUSE 11.3.

View 5 Replies View RelatedHow to permanently disable the gnome-keyring-daemon.
I've seen posts where there was a work around to store passwords in clear text. That's not a real solution. I've seen posts where killing the process and removing ~/.gnome2/keyrings is a temporary solution until next time you log in or reboot machine. Removing the package, will force removal of the whole kitchen sink. That's too intrusive.
There must be a way to stop this thing from starting up, ever.
I tried commenting out the entries in the /etc/pam.d/* files that refer to "pam_gnome_keyring.so", and have also unchecked the 3 keyring related entries under System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications, which are affiliated with these 3 files:
But I still get this one process once I log into the console window:
There must be one more file somewhere that says, "hey when someone logs in and starts up gdm, start the gnome keyring daemon".
I have a StreamZap IR remote control and receiver.It is setup with LIRC and I use it with MythTV. Around a year ago some update caused Gnome to respond to a few of the remote's button presses.For example, using the volume buttons on my remote will have the same affect as using the volume buttons on my keyboard, or playing with the panel applet.It didn't do this before, and I liked it that way. But I see no way to disable Gnome's responses to my remote.I tried Googling to no avail.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am running Ubuntu 10.04 with Compiz enabled (Visual Effects = Normal, in the System-Preferences-Appearance)
The gnome-terminals are transparent. I would like to disable the transparency, because I have a lot of terminals open at the same time and I don't want to be able to see one below another one.
In the gnome-terminal preferences, Background is set to "solid colour". However, Compiz seems to be over-riding this somehow.
I have the CompizConfig Settings Manager installed. I have looked through it but I can't find an option which disables the transparency for terminals. I tried the Opacity, Brightness and Saturation plugin, but it only allows you to vary the transparency level, not disable it entirely, and there doesn't seem to be a way of setting a default.
I like Compiz very much, so I don't want to disable the desktop effects. Does anyone know how to just disable the gnome-terminal transparency?
I'm not using lubuntu. Somehow I selected that and I can't get rid of it now. I'm on Ubuntu with Gnome.
I am on Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit version (Gnome). I am running an NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT graphics card with the NVIDIA proprietary drivers. I have dual screens running at 1920x1080. I am dual booting with Windows 7 but I don't think that should make a difference (BURG is my bootloader). When I first boot up into Ubuntu and log in, my desktop looks just great, like this:
But if I log out then log back in, my theme reverts to a grey blockish theme that seems to be reserved so weak video cards or something like that. I'm somewhat new to Ubuntu desktop. This is what it looks like:
Is there any option to disable mouse right click on ubuntu 11.04 in Gnome.
