Fedora Installation :: No Launcher And Status Bar
Dec 27, 2010
I installed fedroa 13 from a USB device to a brand new hard disk.After firsdt reboot, I passed trough the 4 steps:
- License Agreement
- System User
- Date and Time
- Hardware Profile
the next reboot ended up with no launcher, no status bar, just clean desktop with 3 icons:Trash, the user's home and "Computer".I launched /usr/bin/gnome-terminal to try and upgrade to fedora 14, maybe it will resolve this situation.but it will might take some time.

I am having trouble creating a desktop launcher icon for an application that needs to run in terminal mode and is run with "mono". After creating the launcher on the desktop it launches the terminal window and then gives the error "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal", and the terminal window is blank. Here are the steps I use to launch the application in a many step process. click on applications/system tools/terminal then in the terminal window I type, cd /var/opensim/Test/bin mono OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe The above steps work just fine and the instance of the application runs just fine, but it is rather tedious to enter in all that everytime I want to run the application.
1 - place a desktop icon on my desktop to launch the application,
2 - Launch this application when I reboot Fedora so it starts automatically whenever I boot.
The way I created the desktop launcher was to right click on the desktop and select create launcher. I selected "application in terminal" and when I entered in the command line, I added "mono" to the command after navigating to the place the application was with the correct path. Here is the actual command line that is in the launcher that throws the error message.
/var/opensim/Test/bin/mono OpenSim.32BitLaunch.exe

I downloaded F10 x86_64 live Developer Spin ISO file from fedora project spins website and burned it onto a DVD...Now when I try to boot from it, I get a menu as usual. Here I select the 'boot' option. Now it shows a 'loading' page with a progress bar and 'Fedora 10' written on the right side [as usual].. After that, on the next page I get the following error..
error: unexpectedly disconnected from boot status daemon I somehow did a reboot, and again the same problem. Microsoft XP and another Fedora are already installed on the same system..

For some reason the general launcher button (+ in circle) in the unity menu has disappeared. I do not know how to restore it. Which means I have great problems to start al apps that are not standard in the menu.

I have just upgraded to Lucid on Ubuntu. I am a long time Pidgin user. I tried using Empathy with Gwibber, but I can't get Gwibber to update my IM status(es) in Empathy, so I want to go back to using Pidgin. (Additionally, I can't get Skype to work with Empathy.)I installed pidgin-microblog and pidgin-mbpurple, and they allow me to view my Twitter feed in Pidgin and update my Twitter status in Pidgin. However, in Karmic, I was also able to specify certain "status availabilities" (one named "Twitter-Available" and one named "Twitter-Away", for instance) to have the IM status message for these statuses become populated with my Twitter feed. This capability seems missing in pidgin-mbpurple in Lucid (and it seems to be the only thing missing from Karmic).
Is there a way to have pidgin-mbpurple update certain "status availabilities" in Lucid (and I'm just missing something) or is this no longer possible?Equivalently, is it possible to have Gwibber update my status message in Empathy? (I just want to be able to update my status once on one of my three computers - and have it propagate to all my other accounts (IM and social networking) and computers).

Everytime I attempt to install anything, in any way, I'm given the following error message:
E: lib32nss-mdns: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
E: wine1.2: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
I went into Synaptics Package Manager and told it to uninstall WINE in case that was what was causing the problems. It sort of half-uninstalled-it then gave me that exact same error message.I have two threads currently open on the forums - adjusting laptop brightness and flashing BIOS - and both problems hit a brick wall because of this same error message.

How do you access preferences for changing size of the launcher bar or icon size, etc? I looked through system settings and could not find it.

After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 I uninstalled empathy (im using skype). The empathy menu in the evolution indicator was gone after that.I also uninstalled gwibber. But the gwibber status indicator remains within the about-me panel... Uninstalling the gwibber package also removes the me-menu which I want to keep actually. Especially the shutdown/restart... part of it. See attachment.I know there is a shutdown panel-app...but its butt-ugly and it doesnt allow to logon/off.
In another thread I read that the gwibber status shouldnt be there if no account for it is configured... which it is not... I do use ubuntu-one though which is in the same menu... I saw that this issue was addressed at some bug report before, but not fixed yet...
Does anybody know a good workaround to get rid of the gwibber status in the panel while keeping the about me and the shutdown button?

So I saw there was a button on update manager that said new version available. I say what the heck, I'll upgrade. I am (was) using 9.10 netbook remix. After I did a few tweaks with synaptic etc to get the upgrade to go through, I am left with no launcher, and an error popping up saying cannot load applet GNOME-GoHome (or similar).
Did the automatic upgrade thing just install desktop 10.04 over my 9.10 NBR?
How the heck do I fix this? Should I burn an ISO of 10.04 netbook and attempt to upgrade from there?
I cannot lose the files that are on this partition, I have access to them currently and would like to keep them available.

I just upgraded my Ubuntu install from 10.04 to 10.10, seems pretty decent so far in fact my old netbook seems a little snappier, could all be in the mind.
I'm running on a 1000h eeepc which has a lowly 1024x600 resolution, one of the reasons I liked Ubuntus netbook remix was due to the lack of clutter allowing me to make the most of my machines poor resources, this new launcher is a complete waste of valuable screen real estate, wouldn't be bad if it auto hid, or something but it just sits there being buggerall use most of the time.
Is there a way to configure it to be unobtrusive.

I just had my pc updated with the latest Ubuntu 11.04.. but since im very curious with the new appearance (which i think really nice and neat), i started to configure Compiz and opened the 'compiz configuration setting manager'.
since i thought it was OK, i just changed the desktop configuration to 'Desktop cube' just like on my previous Ubuntu (10.10).. and i just clicked to change to desktop cube whatever popped there to confirm it.
but later i found i can't open any programs anymore, just plain wallpaper on my 'desktop'.

I upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04In 10.10, Nautilus showed all my drives/partitions automatically. The same goes for 11.04, but... all the drives/partitions are also shown in the launcher.Because it gets a bit crowded on the left side, I want to get rid of those drive-icons.I can only open them, not remove them from the launcher, except my external drive (safely remove), but than it also disappears from Nautilus Is there any (easy) way to remove those drives?

I recently downloaded Firefox 5.0 Aurora (alpha). I just extracted the tarball in my home directory and the program itself seems to work okay. However, when I add the shortcut to the launcher it does nothing more than blink when clicked. The only way I've found to get the Firefox to open without running from terminal was to add a symbolic link to the desktop, which is fine I suppose. I was just curious if there is a way to edit the launcher icon itself to make it work, or a more sophisticated install procedure that I need to use.

I dual boot F13 and Win7. I usually use F13 for my daily OS, but I have been taking some classes and have not been able to get the software to run on Fedora. I remember reading a post a long time ago that gave a command to boot out of Fedora and directly into Windows without having to select it from Grub. I would like to put a launcher on my desktop that will run this command, but I can not seem to find it.

On another machine, I upgraded a 8.04 desktop to 10.04 using the update manager. The update went well, but after the reboot and login, the default desktop background is loaded, but there is no status bar to select programs, access system settings, etc. How can I fix the desktop to include the status bar so that I can use the system? I can right click on the desktop and it gives me options to create launchers, etc.

Can't boot into Ubuntu. Using recovery mode, I get fsck exit with status 3 error. I did man on fsck and there is no reference to status 3. Same issue as [URL]
I have my data on sdb3 which is having this issue. File system is ext4. I can't go into shell or anything, I get the fsck error and the system reboots right away and stuck in that loop.

1st, I got the OS install. I just want to hide some program launcher from menu bar. In the old Gnome, it work this way, I put the mouse on the menu bar, and then right click, choose preference then I can hide everything I wanna hide. But I can not do that on F12 any more, I tired to refer to Gnome instruction manual on Gnome web site. It seems like they did not change anything on Gnome 2.28. Since the instruction remain the same.
2nd I also want to ask, how do I change the default interface language setting in F12? In previous version I just need to do that in SYSTEM-->Preference. But I can not see the option any more either.
3rd I can not install the NVIDIA proprietary driver even though I got GCC and kernel development header in place. The install log said:" The binary file is not for the kernel" Well, I just use the regular i686 kerenl as usual. It does not make sense it will not work.
I got the driver running by using the rpmfusion driver, not the one from Nvida
By the way, The nouveau driver in F12 works far from OK on my GO 7300. It just like a slave driver that whip the GPU at full out all the time, let alone it does not have 3D capability.
The live cd does not include GCC and kernel development header. That made me feel like walking on the moon but forgot to put the gravity suite on.

For Python 2.6.4 on Fedora 13, I created a desktop launcher and then browsed to the Python 2.6.4 doc index.html. But when I try to launch this file, I get permssion denied. Huh ? I can not create a desktop item which brings up my Python docs in a browser ? This is frustrating to say the least. What has Fedora decided I am doing wrong now ?
