Fedora Installation :: No Minimize Or Resize Buttons For All Windows

Jun 7, 2011

I did an upgrade to F15 from F13. I was a little skeptical about the upgrade (I had always reinstalled in the past), but so far it seems to have worked great. What were people thinking when they released Gnome? No minimize of resize buttons for all windows (I downloaded the F15 updates today, and there doesn't seem to be any updates to fix the situation). Ridiculous. Who did any testing on this? Once a fix was found for that, I find Gnome to be non intuitive and inefficient regarding response time and user key strokes required.

Fedora :: Incomplete XFCE Install - Windows Don't Have Minimize - Resize And Close Icons On Top Bar

Jul 8, 2011

I installed XFCE on a machine built with the FC 15 LXDE based live CD using yum groupinstall XFCE. I got a usable XFCE session, but after a period of use, some things have gone missing. The windows don't have minimize,resize and close icons on the top bar. The settings selection for "Window Manager Tweaks" doesn't start any program. The programs that are open in the users session are not saved, even though that option is checked. Can this be explained by corruption of a single file somewhere? Or should I re-install XFCE again.

Programming :: OpenGL And GLUT In Fedora 12: Windows Too Small And Don't Resize

Mar 15, 2010

I have verified using yum that I have the most uptodate glut, freeglut, freeglut-devel etc., yet when I compile Example 2-6 from the Red Book at http://www.glprogramming.com/red/chapter02.html#name16, I get a window that is too small for the program output, includes display from other windows, and will not redraw after being resized.

I get slightly better behavior with the SGI sample program mentioned in the same book, 'checkers.c'. Again, the initial size is too small, but at least it will resize and redraw the checkerboards entirely inside the resized window. What is going on here? Is this some bug in glut? I can't see anything obviously wrong in their glut initialization, which looks like:

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
glutInit(&argc, argv);
glutInitDisplayMode (GLUT_SINGLE | GLUT_RGB);
glutInitWindowSize (350, 150);

[code]...

Then again, since I am such a newbie to glut, I am not sure I would recognize what, if anything, they did wrong. what ARE the valid and useful command line parameters I could have passed to the main() above?

Debian Multimedia :: Keyboard Shortcut To Minimize / Iconify Windows

Aug 7, 2009

I would like to create a keyboard shortcut to minimize/iconify an active window. Tried xbindkeys-config but no luck.

Alt+F2 brings up the run command on nearly any desktop environment
Alt+F4 kills the app being active at the time
Win+D will minimize all windows

How can I get Alt+F3 to minimize/iconify a window which is active? Thin can be achieved by Alt+Space+N but it's to long and I would like to change this keybind on Alt+F3 since it is quick.

I am using GNOME Ubuntu 64 bit Lucid Lynx with Cairo Dock, Compiz Fusion, Screenlets

Sometimes when I start up linux the buttons to close, maximize, and minimize windows and the Application title bar disappear. Restarting usually fixes the problem.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Separate X-screen Suddenly Misses Minimize - Close - Buttons On Windows

May 1, 2011

I did a clean install of 11.04 and I have experienced that my separate X-screen does not have the program-name bar with the minimize, close-buttons etc. It's my third monitor is a separate X and it does not really work since I cant close programs, maximize windows or move them around. I cant even write anything on it. The first two monitors work great as one X-screen, just as they did in 10.10. Ubuntu Classic, no Unity. Two monitors (one X) on a ATI HD6970 One monitor (the X-screen that doesn't work properly) on a ATI HD4870

Ubuntu :: How To Launch Text Editor With Small Windows Size?

Apr 20, 2010

I'm looking for a programmable way to open an editor with a small window size. For example 60 columns and 3 lines. So I need an editor that can take its initial window size from command line args or environment variables, or possibly from an initial command that can be given on the command line.I've looked at documentation and experimented with gedit, gvim (and vi & vim), and nano and I don't think any of them can be controlled this way. Vi and its friends have a "window" option and also a "resize" command, both of which are described as setting the number of rows, but they don't change the graphical window size they just change the number of rows displayed in the window.

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Is Small - Windows Slow Down System

May 25, 2011

I have a problem with Lubuntu. First of all I installed it on my old laptop (amd sempron 1.6GHz, 512MB ram, s3g vga) as windows seemed to slow down my system. Installation was good, but the problem is screen resolution which is only 800x600 and there is no higher res option. Laptop's native is 1024x768. I searched a lot about how to change it but there is no post for lubuntu (everything is for ubuntu, xubuntu, and doesn't seem to work in here). Beyond that isse i I feel Lubuntu is running much better than windows and I want to use it. Using Lubuntu 11.04. Let me add that when I tried Lubuntu 10.04 it didn't have this problem (all resolutions where available).

Software :: KDE Crashes When Windows Too Small (quick Tile, Firefox, Konsole)?

Apr 18, 2011

I'm running KDE 4.6.00 on openSuSE 11.4. The system is nearly perfect in my mind, minus some weird KDE crashes. I've set the meta+left/right keys to perform the "quick tile" operation. When I have a firefox (or konsole) window tiled on the left or right half of my screen, un-tiling it (for example, pressing meta+left when it is tiled to the right) will sometimes cause the window to become too small to see. In about 90% of the times that this happens, the program crashes. In case this is not clear, I'm starting with a window which is tiled on half of my screen, and I want to either move it to the other half, or just get it to the not-tiled state in the middle of my screen, then it shrinks, and usually crashes.

I tried setting the startup geometry for both konsole and firefox. Otherwise, I'm at a loss. I can avoid the problem by manually resizing a quick-tiled window from half-screen size to something smaller, in lieu of using the meta+right/left keys to undo the quick-tile and put it in the center of the screen

Debian Hardware :: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M And 4k Display - Small Icons / Windows And Texts

Mar 5, 2016

I have recently bought a new notebook, an ASUS K501UX, and I have encountered some problems installing Debian 8.3 on it.

In fact, already during the installation process it looks like there are some problems with the video card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M), since the lower part of the screen is just black (even if it still "exists", that is the mouse can go "behind" it and click the "next" or "cancel" buttons which are "covered" by the black stripe): [URL] ....

This problem persists also after the installation. Furthermore, since the screen has a 4k resolution (3640x2160) all icons, windows and texts are painfully small: [URL] ....

As you can see, however, if I take a screenshot all the desktop is visualized. This is what the screen actually looks like in the lower part: [URL] ....

I tried changing the resolution from the Settings, but apart from 3640x2160 no other options are available. Furthermore, the display is labelled as "Unknown display": [URL] ....

I then tried to change it with xrandr, but the output of xrandr command is the following:

Code: Select allxrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
Screen 0: minimum 3840 x 2160, current 3840 x 2160, maximum 3840 x 2160
default connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 0mm x 0mm
   3840x2160      0.00*

I then looked around the web, and found that this is a problem related to the video card driver. So, I followed the DebianWiki on the subject to install the driver, namely I installed the nvidia-driver package and then configured xorg with nvidia-xconfig. However, rebooting Debian, all I got is a blank screen with a flashing pointer, and xserver not working at all (if I press Alt+F3 and login and then try startx I get a long list of deadly-sounding errors like "screen not found").

What should I do? Should I try installing the drivers from the NVIDIA website? I've read (also in the DebianWiki) that this can cause problems to the system. Or is it really a driver problem? Why doesn't it detect the screen?

Ubuntu :: System Text Replaced With Squares

Aug 12, 2010

Yesterday, while surfing a web forum with ~6 tabs open and music playing, I noticed that the top of my Firefox window, next to the minimize/restore/close buttons, was displaying the wrong name. It was displaying my second tab while I was on my fourth, for example, and this error continued even as I switched tabs, picking a tab for the name at seemingly random. The menu bar next to the "click here to hide all windows and show the desktop" button continued to show the right name, however. Within a minute or so, the browser started to hang, my computer started to slow, and the top of the browser became entirely obscured. I was eventually forced to power down the computer by use of the power button, as I was unable to access the shut-down menu.Upon booting up again, I noticed that the computer took longer to get to log-in. Once I did log in, I noticed that the text at the top of the window now consisted entirely of squares, with about as many squares as there would be proper characters normally. Furthermore, this had spread to other aspects of my system. I have all current updates.

Examples (attached pictures should illustrate):

- When in the File Manager, there are tabs that show your movement through the system; for example, if I start by opening Home, then Pictures, it'll show my Home folder and Pictures there. The currently-selected tab has the erroneous display of squares, but the non-selected ones do not.
- The shutdown menu has squares where the names of the individual options should be and at the top window, but the descriptive text below continues to function normally.
- The update manager has squares at the top line of the "loading" prompt, the top line next to the update manager icon (just above "The package information was last updated X hours ago"), and the name of each individual update consists of squares, in addition to the text just below "changes for the versions: 2.2... etc" text but above the changelog.
- The "Users Settings" options menu has squares at various areas, such as the name of the user, account type, and password. (The area with the name and colon, such as "Password:" is correct, but the area after the colon is all squares.)
- Black box system notifications - for example, the name of the wireless to which I have just connected - have the first line made into squares.
- Authentication prompts - for the package manager or update manager, for example - have the first line as squares, but the second works normally.
- The package manager seems completely fine, other than the aspects of it previously mentioned that extend to other applications (the name area at the top of the window, the authentication prompts).

(Looking back, I actually meant "rectangles" when I said "squares." Oops; apologies for any confusion caused.)It seems obvious that SOMETHING has become corrupted, but I'm not educated enough on the subject to identify and solve the problem, or to know much of the standard procedure for this sort of situation.
