Debian Multimedia :: Can't See Windows Open / Make It Possible?

Mar 9, 2010

I've had this for a while now and though I might as well do something about it.
When I have more than one or more windows open none of the show up on the taskbar, I'll show you what I mean.:


Although you can't see it from the picture, I actually have two windows open, both of which should show up on the taskbar (1.).
I can open windows by clicking on the button marked 2.

Is there something simple that I have missed?

Debian Multimedia :: How To Make Certain Windows Open Same Size Every Time

Jan 13, 2016

I have been using windowmaker for some time now. I really love this wm, but I've one major problem; how do I make certain windows open the same size each time I open that program? For instance, I have a certain size I prefer for Pcmanfm, Vlc, deadbeef, and geequie, but every time I run them, they open anywhere on the desktop at all sorts of sizes. I especially hate resizing a video window when the video is playing.

I can do this in fluxbox, but I have a different set of problems with that window manager, namely, I can't organize my dockapps the way I want, despite editing the slitlist and some won't work at all. While I love Openbox, I can't get the windows sized right each time, either.

Ubuntu :: Make Windows Key Open The Panel?

Mar 9, 2011

I'm trying to find a way to make my Windows key the shortcut to opening my start panel in Lubuntu. I've found easy instructions for Ubuntu, but Lubuntu doesn't have the keyboard shortcuts utility that Ubuntu has (at least I can't find it).

I found some instructions for editing a config file but I can't find the command for opening the panel, and I've seen conflicting information about how the Windows key is written (some say W, some say Super_L), so I hesitate to start playing around with that file when I'm only guessing.

Debian Multimedia :: When Open An Open Office Document From An NFS Share It Always Opens As Readonly

Apr 27, 2010

When I open an open office document from an NFS share it always opens as readonly. This was a problem I had on Arch linux and the fix was to change the locking options in the soffice script but I've tried that fix here and it doesn't work. I've seen a lot of discussions but they all go back to changing the locking options in soffice, has anyone got any alternative fixes or one that definitely works with locking?

Debian :: Make Java Default Application To Open JAR Files

Feb 4, 2016

i cannot seem to find a proper way to make Java my default application to open .jar files. I just made a new Debian 8.3 install on my laptop HP Pavilion G6 and the default application for opening .jar files is the Archive Manager. But when i go to "Open with.." section on right-clicking the .jar file, i get no JRE or JDK option to choose. I just installed the openjdk 7. I can manually run them from the bash, but it would be much more convenient if i just double-clicked it. Here is what i get when i run several commands in the bash :

1) which java ->Code: Select all /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
2) java -version -> Code: Select alljava version "1.7.0_95"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.4) (7u95-2.6.4-1~deb8u1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)
3) echo $PATH: Code: Select all/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/bin:/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64/bin: /usr/local/ sbin:/usr/local/bin:/ usr/ sbin:/usr/bin:/ sbin:/bin
4) javac -version : Code: Select alljavac 1.7.0_95

Debian :: Programs Open With (Blacked Out) Windows?

Aug 10, 2015

Long story short, been using Debian for 2+ years. Recently did a Clean install of Jessie (which worked fine). I wanted to test out Ubuntu 14.04 so I distro hopped for a couple weeks. Now I'm back on Debian Jessie (did a clean install again).

Problem is: Everything works fine, but after the computer runs for a while (like 2+ hours) any new program windows that I open are completely blacked out. Just like opening a big square black tile. They are unusable until I restart the computer, then everything works fine again for another 2+ hours.

I've never had this problem before, not even with my previous clean installation of Jessie. This time I installed it in the same way that I did the last time.

Debian :: How To Make Windows-loader Default And Hide Grub If Possible

Mar 11, 2015

Background: I am dual booting Debian and Window 7. Wanted to make windows-loader default and hide grub if possible. Google search took me here: [URL].... (third answer, about editing grub)

Make Windows (ANY variant) the default Grub2 menu option.
Description: This sets Windows as the default boot option, and (with NO user action) the PC will auto-launch Windows on startup.

STEPS:
A. sudo update-grub #List your current menu items
B. Edit setup file
sudo gedit /etc/default/grub
GRUB_DEFAULT=”Windows 7 (loader) on /dev/sda1″ #Set the boot default to your Windows boot partition
[WARNING: Just setting 'GRUB_DEFAULT=n', will NOT work after kernel updates, etc.
Save the file and close.]
sudo update-grub

Question: I must have done something wrong, for update-grub (as root) now gives this: "/usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig: 6: /etc/default/grub: 2: not found"

What should I do now to make grub as it was in the beginning?

[By the way, it's been very difficult to get Debian related pages...]

Debian Multimedia :: Can't Open Any Programs On X (i3)

Feb 18, 2016

I use gdm3, Debian Jessie (Not sure if 8.2 or 8.3, I did a dist-upgrade so maybe 8.3), and i3-wm.

I went to shower and came back to find my hard drive full due to the syslog and daemon log being filled with 76GB each worth of the same 7-line error message about NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant. (Earlier that day the 80% of my CPU was being consumed by those two, and my battery life fell from 7 hours to 2 hours)

After I shortened those log files to 700 and 1200 lines, and I rebooted and then logged into i3, I found that I couldn't open any graphical programs, except Emacs24, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft, Minitube, and Wireshark. I also noticed that the log files that I shortened have disappeared, so I cannot recover the 7-line error message.

I haven't tried all the graphical programs that I have, but Terminator, Pidgin, Hamster Time Tracker, Iceweasel, and gnome-terminal will not open (although Emacs24, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft, Minitube, and Wireshark will, and NetworkManager seems unaffected as well). By "won't open" I mean that when I run the programs from dmenu or any Emacs shell (eshell, shell, ansi-term), the process runs (as visible in ps aux), but it does not show up in i3. Pidgin and Hamster Time Tracker will reserve space in the i3bar, but it doesn't get populated.

I haven't extensively tested what happens in Gnome3, but I have noticed that I can't open the activities overlay.

Debian Multimedia :: GDM Won't Unlock On Lid Open?

Jul 2, 2010

I recently installed Debian Squeeze on my HP laptop (I had been using Ubuntu) and most everything has been operating just as one would expect. There has been one noticeable problem though. If I set the power management settings, in Gnome, to suspend on lid close, and also have the screensaver set to lock the screen when active, when I reopen the lid the screen just stays black. No matter what keys I press there is no response at all, and I have to switch to a console via Ctrl-Alt-Fn and then back again, which will finally bring up the login box.

Debian Multimedia :: System Settings Will Not Open

Dec 23, 2014

I have a user who has recently switched to Debian 7 (from Windows). While reinstalling his PC I foolisly went straight to install the ATi proprietry drivers (as every computer I have come across this in this building is running with an ATi card). Once install I found out that the computer actually had on board Intel Haswell graphics. So I installed the correct driver and uninstalled the ATi one. Since then System Settings refuse to open they are forever "Starting". The user is running on Gnome Classic as Gnome 3 refuses to start (in what I am starting to suspect is a linked issue).

Running "gnome-control-center" from the command line details the following error:

(gnome-control-center:4583): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'gnome-control-center' received an X Window System error.

This probably reflects a bug in the program.

The error was 'GLXBadContext'.

(Details: serial 158 error_code 171 request_code 154 minor_code 6)

(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously; that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it. To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Debian Multimedia :: Force Firefox To Use Xdg-open

Dec 28, 2015

Firefox keeps trying to download docx files with my default text editor. Is there a way to get Firefox to just open everything using xdg-open?

There seems to be no way to get this browser to consistently open files with my chosen default applications. My mime-type settings are only obeyed sometimes. The pertinent file type isn't in the Application list of browser preferences, and there's no way to add it. The "Do this automatically..." option in the file download dialog is greyed out, so I have to go through my file system and choose the desired application every time I download a file of that type.

Debian Multimedia :: Make KDE More Responsive And Faster ?

May 27, 2011

I am a GNOME user but because of the release of GNOME 3 i decided that i may have to start using KDE. So i installed KDE 4.6 from the qt-kde debian repository. It works more or less OK but i have a problem with the performance. It just doesn't feel as snappy as GNOME. For example if i have minimized Firefox when i maximize it it takes about a second for the window to draw and until then i just see and empty window. Or when i open nautilus it too takes a little to open and draw the window. Overall KDE seems a little unresponsive. Is this normal? And second, from time to time there seems to be huge performance issues - KDE suddenly becomes very slow - programs take a while to open, and the windows draw even slowlier than what i described previously. Also whenever there is a slowdown (like for example when i start a program) i hear some kind of scratching noises from a my laptop - like there is a heavy hard disk activity. I've heard that kind of noises before when doing something very demanding like compiling or archiving something.

Is there any way to make KDE more responsive and faster. I have disabled strigi and nepomuk.

I am running KDE on Debian Unstable with kernel 2.6.39-1-amd64 and NVidia driver 270.41.19 on a Thinkpad T61 laptop with Intel Core 2 Duo T9300, Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m and 4GB of Ram.

Debian Multimedia :: How To Open Bookmarked Webdav From Iceweasel

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 with Linux 3.16.0-0 (x86_64) from backports and XFCE. I am using nautilus for the default file manager because thunar is not able to connect to server. My problem is that when i want to upload a file from iceweasel, the bookmarked webdav location on nautilus is not shown. This mean that iceweasel doesn't use nautilus? If so how to change this? Nautilus is checked in the default programs.

Debian Multimedia :: Gnome-terminal Refuses To Open

Jan 30, 2015

I updated my Jessie system today. Nothing crucial in the apt-get list as far as I can see, perhaps it's unrelated. Anyway, now I cannot open the terminal any longer. Launching `gnome-terminal` shows the app name in the menu bar, a spinning wheel, and then after a few seconds nothing. It doesn't appear in the list of processes, either. I can still log into the text shell via ctrl-alt-F1.

I also added `LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"` to `/etc/environment` to get rid of the American date format. Could it be the cause? I just tried to launch the terminal from the JVM. I get this output:

Code: Select all(process:2629): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library.
Using the fallback 'C' locale.
Error constructing proxy for org.gnome.Terminal:/org/gnome/Terminal/Factory0: Error calling StartServiceByName for org.gnome.Terminal: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildExited: Process org.gnome.Terminal exited with status 8

I will delete the environment variable again and reboot, but I wonder if I can still have the British date format?

Debian Multimedia :: File Association For AVI Does Always Open Totem

Nov 13, 2010

Since I installed my new debian squeeze system with gnome 2.30.2 I got problems with totem and totem-xine application.

Problem 1: The file asociation for .avi does always open totem! I changed the .avi file asociation unter -> preferences -> "preferred applications" for example to vlc... but no chance it always open the totem player. I looked also in the gnome configuration tool (gconf) and there is the file asociaton set on vlc, but he still opens totem.

Problem 2: All .avi files with video content I cannot see the video and I hear only the audio stream. If I open the video I got a popup with the message that the codec is not installed, then I click on search codecs and totem search for it and does not found anything. I have the codec installed because I see it in avidemux...
- If I install only totem I install also all gstreamer packages ...
- If I install totem-xine I install all xine plugins packackages etc ...
- If I use vlc or mplayer all works fine ...
- If I start totem over a console shell and I open the video, I get no error message in the shell.
