Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit. I tried 11.04 and did not care for it. I like to keep icons to start the browser, terminal, and gedit, on the panel. Up until recently, that has not been a problem. The browser and terminal icons work. But, the gedit icon goes away when I shut down my system, and bring it back up. The icon will stay in the panel for as long as I'm using my system, but once I shut it down, it's gone.
I have installed Fedora 14 with gnome. My problem is that in some applications the archive menu doesn't appears. Some of this applications are geany, tux commander, filezilla ... nevertheless in other applicationas like firefox, chrome, vlc ... the menu appears.
I'm using Fedora 15 on my Dell Inspiron 17R (dual booting with Win7) I'm trying to edit the GRUB menu after an update, but when I try to gedit the menu.lst file, I'm getting an error.

I have reinstalled 10.04 several times and have the same result. After the install everything works and looks great. Then after the first power down and reboot the top menu bar and bottom panel are gone.
The desktop wallpaper (bare of anything) is there, still responds to right-clicks, etc, and the system seems to function, but the menu bar is missing. The extents of the desktop are still the same, so it's not the desktop extending outside of the screen display area (mouse doesn't disappear over the edge).
I can alt-F1 to get to the menu bar menu items, and they function - appearing from the top edge of the screen, but cannot activate them via mouse. I have reinstalled several times and this consistently happens every time. I had 8.10 on this box and it didn't do this. I reinstalled 8.10 and it was fine again, and then back to this with reinstalled 10.04. The 8.10 was a virgin install and I reformatted the drive on every install so there's no legacy crap clinging on.
I can use ctrl-alt-del to shut down/restart/etc., and alt-F2 gets me the command line. All seemingly functional.
I've just installed Lubuntu 10.10 to an Asus A2400H laptop. It has a Celeron 2.6 Ghz CPU and 512mb RAM. In the past I have installed Ubuntu and more recently Xubuntu 9.10 and 10.04. This time round I wanted to try out Lubuntu to get more speed out of this laptop but it's giving me crazy problems.When I run the Live CD all seems to work well and quick and there are no problems I can see. Then having installed it -- no errors during install -- when it boots up the fan goes at 100%, the only items on the menu are log off and something else of no use, but neither work. I can't load any of the main programs, but I can get to terminal and the update manager works, although it works extremely slowly.
I typed the 'top' command from the terminal and it says CPU usage is only 35% and only half the memory is in use, and no swap file.I have tried a reinstall and it's exactly the same. I've done the 'check disk for errors' and given the CD lens a clean because sometimes this has caused problems in the past, but it doesn't seem to be the case here given there are no errors during install (I watched the whole install... all 50 minutes of it).I have previously istalled LXDE on this laptop side-by-side with Xubuntu and it did have some fan issues and bugs but still worked for the most part, so I would have thought just having the one system would create less conflict.
I installed a new theme and my menu bar glitched. I restarted and when i boot up, there is no more menu bar or application bar (running 11.04) I boot into classic or safe mode and the bars are there. i already tried right click > change background > changed theme with no success.
Recently downloaded 10.04 I've just installed to a spare hard drive. The problem I have is after I do the latest system updates to Ubuntu my windows 7 selection disappears from the boot menu. It's there straight after the install. The only way I got it back was to re install ubuntu. Currently I'm not using Ubuntu as I don't want to lose the windows 7 selection again and have to re install. Has anyone seen this problem before and any advise on what I should do to ensure I can still select windows 7 from the boot menu after I update ubuntu.
I increasingly use Ubuntu so swapped SATA ports 1&2 around so now 7 boots from BIOS F11 pop out menu. Windows did not complain so far but hibernate is missing from Ubuntu's power down options. I installed Ubuntu Tweak, but cannot see an option to re-enable. Is this something to do with the swapped HDDs &/or the swap partition? Or more likely a recent update?
When I right click my desktop for example, to create a folder / change Desktop Background, my right click menu appears, but the moment i move my mouse onto it (mouse over) it disappears. Changed to 3 different mice with the same problem. I've just worked out that switching to console and back (CTRL + ALT + F1) then login and CTRL+F7 fixes the menu?? So I'm guessing this could be a bug with something gnome related?
I am trying to make wine work for explorer. I followed some instructions on this link [URL] To follow this link, I am supposed to

When scrolling down in nano with keyboard (holding "down" key), nano scrolls several lines at once each time. Is there any possibility to configure it so it will scroll one line each time like gedit does when scrolling in gedit?
I'm trying to install F10 on an Abit VP-6 mobo with an old Lite-On DVD drivethe install begins, it loads the kernel, it asks for keyboard layout, asks for languagethen it says it can't find the installation media and offers to let me pick from a bunch of drivers that look to be mostly for wireless cards and SATA controllerswhat gives?it had to read the drive to get this farwhat changes part way through the install to cause this?just for grins I tried installing openSuse and had similar resultsthis ring any bells?
Last Saturday, I made a fresh install of 64 bit Fedora 12. Here's my problem:
I can set the desktop background; however, when I switch from one workspace to another, the background disappears from all workspaces! I have six workspaces, and clicking on anyone of them makes the background disappear.
Just did a fresh install of fedora 14 (laughlin). I want to run gedit as root ... that's my prefered way for creating and adjusting system config files. Now I'm very stuck ... can't even access yum.conf to set keepcache. I get:
Code: (gedit:2598): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported ** GLib-GIO:ERROR:gdbusconnection.c:2270:initable_init: assertion failed: (connection->initialization_error == NULL)
I'm trying to use gedit as root to edit some config files, but everytime I try to open it, I get this mess. I had a similar issue with debian, and someone solved it by telling my to run gksu nautilus. I tried to run gksu gedit, but apparently that doesn't work on Fedora. I really like Fedora, and I want to stick with it, but if I can't edit these files, I'm going to have issues.
Code: [kevin@senbonsakura ~]$ su Password: [root@senbonsakura kevin]# gedit
The problem in a sentence: a F10 machine seems to disappear from the network after running for a couple of days, however, the network is accessible from the machine itself. My setup: A router with two machines connected via ethernet. Both are essentially desktop computers, one is a standard machine that is booted every day (let's call it Desktop) and the other runs continuously, having only a keyboard attached (let's call it Server).
After running for a few days, Server becomes inaccessible from Desktop. It doesn't respond to ping, ssh fails etc. Even the router shows that Server is disconnected from the network. There is a ping running in Server that pings a machine in the internet with an interval of 60 seconds, the output is directed to a file. The file shows no failed pings, it even succeeds when the router shows that Server is disconnected.
The most peculiar thing: a random keyboard event (e.g. pressing Shift) will make Server reappear. I don't have to do anything else, just press Shift on Server's keyboard and a few moments later everything is back to normal. The router shows that Server is connected and I'm able to do ssh to Server.
I'm running 12, not 11. I don't know why I had 11 in my head. Can this be moved BACK from EOL? If not, I'll start a new thread. Sorry. My wife and I have matching HP EliteBook 8730w "mobile workstations" (laptops that need a donkey to move them). We also have matching LG second screens. Unfortunately, we have matching mouse pointer issues too, as you might expect.
99% of the time we work away without issue. 1% of the time, Fedora suddenly stops showing the mouse pointer in the separate LG screen. The pointer is there, you can use it (if you can guess where the hell it is!) but you can't see it. Only a reboot seems to solve the problem.
It's worth noting xorg.conf is not being used. It's an nVidia card in these laptops and I tried the latest drivers from them - they totally wiped out the display, I mean total FAIL, unusable. Had to boot up in without GNOME, run level 3, to fix it. After much messing around, I think I used the FirstAidKit plugin for xserver to repair things. Since then there is no xorg.conf:
[Code]....
If I restore *any* xorg.conf file it all goes wrong again, so I'm guessing there are either some defaults at play or there's another system currently managing my display. Either way, restoring/editing xorg.conf won't help me with the current set-up.
This works just fine for Fedora 14 but on Fedora 15 the mount point disappears on reboot ie there is no /media/a500 folder. a500 appears under devices in Nautilus and mtpfs is ok as I can mount the device via the command line by creating the mount point setting ownership and running
Sometimes after I reboot, by desktop background is just a black screen. When I go to the settings folder, it shows the image that it previously was, but i have to change either the "zoom" or "tile" settings, or just change the image in order for it to reappear. I really have no idea why this happens, and certainly does not happen with every reboot. If it helps, I am using Intel Ironlake Mobile.
If i type gedit while as root it give this warningQuote:(gedit:5655): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supportedGConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)And over the time, the paragraph block from GConf Error.... to ...was broken is repeated again and again
i did the right thing and posted this on the mac fedora list, but it seems too few people hang out there and there were no replies at all for quite some time, so i have no other option but to try the general support list.problem:on both fc10 & 11, sound works within a browser e.g. [playing flash such as videos cnn and fox videos etc.problem is, as soon as i play a cd or a dvd, then the sound is completely dead afterwards.somehow dvd's and cds completely disables sound.
I have a problem with samba machine disappearing after I restart smb or the server where samba is running. Lets say I name my samba server ABC and set it up via system-config-samba utils. I follow basic steps and fill out everything according to most guides that are available for fedora. After that everything works great, I can connect to samba server ABC form any machine through smb://ABC (mac) or \ABC (win), however as soon as I restart smb services or my server (subsequently restarting the smb service ...) I no longer can connect to it via samba server name ABC, I can only do smb://SambaServerIP or \SambaServerIP (have to put numerical internal ip to connect)
The application is Conky running under Fedora 12 Alpha. This application is set to start upon logging in to the desktop and it does just that. It appears for a second or two and then disappears from view. Although I don't see it, top tells me it is in fact running. As a result of this unexpected behavior I kill the process and restart the application using the ALT/F2 run application tool. When I do this Conky appears on the desktop and stays in view.
Whenever I minimize a window, it disappears into the right corner of the screen. There is no sign of it in the panel(bottom) also. What should I do so that I can relaunch the windows from the panel.
I have just installed F13 and encountered a very annoying problem with KWrite/Kate. Every time I select the text in KWrite/Kate, then switch to another windows for pasting, the text in KWrite/Kate disappears. I cannot even undo to recover the lost text. I have to close the document without saving, then reopen it.
You all know this beutifull boot up screen you get after fresh Fedora install. And i have home encryoted so i get also beautifull screen (with cute lock icon) to type my password in.
