Fedora :: Gnome Desktop Background Distortion?
Jan 27, 2010F12 current updates. The Gnome Desktop Background images are compressed in the horizontal axis enough to make a cessna 182 look like a disney cartoon. I am running 1280X1084 75 hertz update rate. The Gnome Image Viewer gives a correct image. The image I am running had to be stretched to fill the screen. I suspect the stretching algorithm is at fault. Is this a bug that need reporting?

Fedora :: Gnome: Applications/Windows Starting Always In Background?
Feb 12, 2011all programs and windows that I start on my F14 x64 machine getting either started in the background or minimized. This is driving me insane. My Gnome (no compiz) has that annoying behavior since F13 and I've already gone through any windows/appearance/effects settings - w/o any success.

Ubuntu :: Blank Background In Gnome - Cannot Do Anything In GUI?
Feb 4, 2011I was changing a few options in Compiz-Fusion today. When I saved one of the options, the X Server restarted and then suddenly, I had no taskbars or anything. I could run F2 to get a GUI Run dialog box to come up, but I can't run any GUI programs. I try GEdit, Google-chrome but nothing comes up. There's no taskbar, no AWG Dock, nothing. Just my wallpaper and I can't do anything with it.
I'm kind of annoyed that one little change can cause the whole X Server to crash and not start up. I tried booting into "Recovery Mode" but Linux doesn't automatically detect my drivers in this mode so I can't boot up into it. I've tried rebooting and I still get the wallpaper.
In TTY1 terminal, is there anything I can do to revert these changes?
As in, can I:
- Revert the changes of Compiz by somehow reaching a Compiz GUI (even though I can't open any GUI windows in GNOME)?
- Uninstall Compiz? (I tried this and it said it supported gnome-desktop..I decided not to get rid of it, any ideas? If I uninstall Compiz, will it revert and restore all the changes Compiz made?)
- Uninstall and reinstall GNOME? (if so, how can I do this?)
- Access the Compiz config through the terminal so I can perhaps find the option I set and revert it?
This is pretty urgent because I can't use my machine at all, so any help would be really really I'm still able to use the Cube and switch between workspaces (CTRL+ALT+<left/right>) which leads me to believe Compiz is working. I can also open the GUI run dialog, but just no other windows. I think Compiz must have an error and I'll have to restore to Metacity to view windows again.. any ideas?
Ubuntu :: Set Weather Map As Desktop Background (gnome)?
Jul 7, 2010I wanted to use a regularly- and frequently-updating weather map as my desktop background (extreme desktop tweakers can stop reading here: yes, I'm committing the unspeakable act of using a 640x480 image as the background for my 1280x1024 desktop. What can I say? I'm a pragmatic kinda guy . . .). I came up with the following solution for doing this, but wanted to post here to see if someone else might suggest something more elegant and/or superior.
First, I created an extremely simplistic bash script that downloads the weather map image (640x480 a gif) and writes it to a file in my home directory called wmap-bkgrnd.gif. It's only two lines, as follows code...
So now cron downloads the image every 10 minutes and writes it to the wmap-bkgrnd.gif file in my user's home directory. Finally, I right-clicked on the gnome desktop and selected "change background," selecting that image as my desktop background.
It works, and gives the desired effect. I now have a weather map that updates every 10 minutes as my desktop background.
So, my questions. Is there a simpler/better way to accomplish this task? I have to say I have nothing against higher-resolution images and would use one if I could find something suitable. But so far, in the way of frequently-updated maps, I've only been able to find this low-resolution one.
Ubuntu :: Changing Background Crashes GNOME
Jul 9, 2010Been trying to get mac4lin to work, and in the process, I attempted uninstalling, rebooting, then reinstalling gtk-engines-pixbuf. This has now screwed my system so that the background is a light grey and any attempt to change the wallpaper just makes X crash, forcing me to Ctrl Alt Backspace. I'd rather avoid a reinstall of the system since I have it customized to my needs, so is there a solution to this? I tried reinstalling the pixbufs package, but no dice.

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: GDM Background Covers Gnome Desktop?
Apr 1, 2011This is so bizarre I'm not even sure what to search google for. When I log in, the GDM background stays on one of my screens. It appears, however, that Gnome and my applications are running properly on that screen - as I move the mouse around, the pointer changes just as I would expect. The GDM root window is simply covering everything. I've tried logging out/in and rebooting, but that hasn't helped. I assume that if I simply kill the GDM processes that my session will exit. This seems to have started since I last installed updates (that's why I rebooted the first time earlier today).

Ubuntu :: Old Gnome Background Appears When Coming Out Of Screensaver?
May 25, 2011Everytime I unlock my screen in KDE from the screensaver the background for the Gnome interface momentarily appears before the KDE plasma workspace returns.

I initially installed ubuntu 10.4 then installed kubuntu through the package manager and have since upgraded to 10.10 and now 11.4. I think this problem has been here since install of kubuntu

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Transparent Gnome Tray Icons Have White Background?
Mar 12, 2010This is how my Firestarter and Pidgin icons appear in the tray against a panel using an image background, even though the icons are transparent. What can be done to fix this? According to this five year old thread, GTK libraries didn't support transparency in the tray area back then, but surely this must've been fixed by now? There are even some links to bugfixes in that very thread, but I'm hesitant to apply something that old. What to do?

Jan 17, 2011I'd like to change the default transparency level for the gnome-terminal.The gnome-terminal has this setting in: Edit --> Profile preferences --> Background tab, called "Use background settings from system theme". Indeed, I can simply uncheck this setting and manually adjust, but then my changes would apply to all themes, if I were to change my theme in the future.How can I edit the transparency of the GTK theme itself so that it applies to gnome-terminal?I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 with the "Ambiance" theme, and I'm seeing these files which are probably relevant. Am I on the right track? (those files don't contain anything obvious like "transparency" or "opacity" to change ... so I"m not exactly sure what/where to change)
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Change Gnome Background To Random Image (perl)?
Apr 8, 2011First, I wrote a bare bones bash script to change the gnome desktop background to a random image [URL] Then, I realized there are dozens of bash scripts posted in the ubuntu forums just like this one [URL] next, rothalem & I rediscovered the drama of processing files in bash that have spaces in the name [URL] Finally, sflitman suggested dumping bash all together & just using perl [URL]
Result :
A pretty little perl script to change the gnome desktop wallpaper / background to a random image. - If you are unfamiliar with perl :
[URL]
The completed script isn't bullet proof but it will :
- accept command line arguments
- accept files & dirs with spaces in the name
- catch most errors or use the defaults.
Step 1 : Inherit the appropriate CPAN library ( from command line )
- Main Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
Code:
sudo cpan File::Random
Step 2 : Cut-n-Paste this code into a perl script & change red line to the path_to_your_wallpaper_images
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# rocuan & sflitman

Ubuntu :: 10.04.GNOME (Classic) Why Does Some Terminal Window Background Appear Differently
May 22, 2011Why does on some computers my terminal window have a background I can see through and on others its a solid color? I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on 4 machines as base OS and I have many virtual machines of it also. I havent changed the terminal preferences on any of them, however on some computers the terminal background which is purple is not solid in that you can see what is in the background behind it. On others the background is truly solid purple; you can not see behind/through it.
Is there any way to change the terminal window for these machines that are displaying solid to the 'see-thru' way? Ive been using some ebooks and things and really like opening up vi/vim in the purple see-thru window that allows me to write and see the text in the background...however on some machines I can not do this because the terminal display is truly solid. ? All my computers have the same profile settings for terminal..
color = use system theme
background = Solid color
Note - I am making a distinction here between what I call see-thru and the 'transparent' setting in the terminal preferences as this seems to use the desktop background and is different from what I am talking here.

View 14 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 :: GNOME Desktop Icons And Background Not Loading / Get Them To Work?
Jan 13, 2010I am running CentOS 5.4, which I am occasionally managing via VNC from windows machine. This all occured after one long VNC session although I can't confirm this was the real reason. I also must say that I've seen some posts from people that had the same problem, but not anything helpful. Here is what happens:
Even if I start the machine from scratch I get the following error messages just before the login prompt and type of session window shows:
COULDN'T RECOGNIZE THE IMAGE FILE FORMAT FOR THE FILE '/USR/SHARE/GDM/THEMES/TREEFLOWER/BACKGROUND.PNG
THERE WAS AN ERROR LOADING THE THEME AND THE DEFAULT THEME COULD NOT BE LOADED. ATEMPTING TO START THE STANDARD GREETER.
If I choose GNOME and login I get more errors (for every icon I guess) saying:
COULD NOT LOAD ICON. UNRECOGNIZED FILE FORMAT.
Desktop then loads but there is no background image (other backgrounds don't work either) and the icons are question marks. All the menus and programs work normally.
KDE on the other hand works normally with all visuals, so I assume there must be something wrong with GDE PNG library or something, maybe GDE corruption. If I make another user it's the same story.
