Fedora :: Keep Aligned Check Box - Clears After Reboot
Jan 3, 2010
I have Fedora 12 & GNOME. But, this actually is an issue with many Linux distro's and GNOME. If I set the Keep Aligned Check Box Off - the next reboot it is back too set on. (Right click empty area on GNOME Desktop). I have searched many forums and search engines, I must be doing my search wrong there must be others that have noticed this, And the posts I do find on it are sometimes pretty old, so it does not seem like a bug would be around so long. I saw some notes about Nautilus also but no answers. FYI In CentOS 5.4 & GNOME it works properly.
I use with 11.2 a network without problems.Now I installed in the same PC on another hdd 11.3 and get in yast2 network the messages:eth0 not aligned and for wlan too.My driver realtek r8192s_usb What can I do? adda7,
When I deactivate "Keep aligned" for all icons on my desktop it works fine - until the next reboot. Then the entry is enabled back again. How can I permanently the feature int he future?
todays update required a restart an then it went into check disc mode but i dont have time to wait and ended it.is there a way to force a check disc on a reboot when i do have time?
my goal is to run Ubuntu from my USB as I go to lots of different computers. I would like to save files and settings to my USB each time I boot from a different computer. My USB is only 8GB but I figured it would be fine for what I am wanting to do.Anyway, when I boot into a computer, I am told that my USB only has 500mb of storage. That already irritated me. I decided to create a test word document. I save it to Documents and take out the USB. Once I am done, I boot into another computer. Not only are my background settings no longer in position, but that word document is not there.
Nothing gets saved at all to my USB. It isn't even letting me utilize my 8GB.Please help. I realize there are limits to booting from the USB, but a portable OS is the perfect solution for my circumstances.
how can i prevent erase of screen data while scrolling. When i use the ANSI cursor movement commands(27[PnS , 27[PnT etc) say for scroll down the top lines get erased. i.e. if i scroll up after scroll down, i am unable to view top lines again.
I'm having a minor inconvenient issue with Suse 11.2/KDE4.3.From a cold boot, and then the first login, the desktop and WM [Compiz-Emerald] loads ok, but the plasmoids/icons are not 'clickable', although I can use keyboard, Command Line and 'right click' menus ok.If I restart X, then log in again, everything is ok, and stays ok until the next cold boot.It's as if the plasma desktop is masked [if that makes sense?], but only on the first login, as if there is a boot sequence issue or something.
It seems that something is causing the memory cache to be cleared when the screensaver launches. Then when moving the mouse or hitting a key to stop the screensaver it takes forever for the already launched and minimized applications to redisplay. I am using the ubuntu classic desktop.
Now time to rant.
Natty has so many bugs it is impossible to work around them all. This memory issue is one of the worst. The dead zone caused by the static application switcher, and the application switcher plugins for compiz (and probably any override redirect window) is another big one. There is not a single window decorator for compiz that works right. I have encountered two packages with binaries that won't even run (emerald and xpdf). The nvidia drivers seem to have issues (this may be related to this memory clearing issue).
Without a doubt more bugs than any other release of Ubuntu to date. I have worked around most of them by recompiling, and etc., but this is a real pain.
This is all aside from the idiotic switch to unity, when it is clearly not ready for release. The general direction of Ubuntu is really starting to look bad. By the way, what is up with the decision to uglify the desktop with gray scale icons (I know this is an old one, but I haven't really ranted on Ubuntu yet).
In Fedora 14, is there a setting in Configuration Editor that you can't uncheck, to uncheck Keep Aligned in right click desktop? Or, is there a piece of code that destroys that indelible check? When that box is unchecked, it's back on the next boot. It always messes up my desktop icons.
OK, I admit I'm a little OCD about icon placement on the Desktop - I want to do it myself - so this is driving me a bit nuts.I have right-clicked to disable the option 'keep aligned'. I have made sure it is disabled in gconf-editor. BUT IT KEEPS COMING BACK!ince I don't mess a lot with my desktop, I'll notice it's reverted when I add something new, can't place it exactly where I want to and once again have to untick 'keep aligned'.It seems to be random so not quite sure what might be triggering it.
I installed openSuSE 11.3. By default, man pages blocks are justified (block-aligned). Example:
Code:
WARNING Improper use of this command may seriously damage your system,so read this manual carefully to understand how to use it correctly and prevent yourself from destroying your system. Instead, I would like all manual pages would be displayed left-aligned, like this:
Code:
WARNING Improper use of this command may seriously damage your system, so read this manual carefully to understand how to use it correctly and prevent yourself from destroying your system.
I definitely would not like to reformat all the manual pages one-by-one. but rather just changing sometnihg in some macro-definition file or something similar? .. Is it possible achieve that simply and quickly?
I'm currently running a Ubuntu 9.10 64bit machine with one of those 2TB WD disks that does have 4KB blocks.Unfortunately the current partition layout is misaligned, so I plan to back up my home directory and start fresh with a 10.04 install, trying to make the partitions aligned as suggested here:what I'm wondering is, does the 10.04 partitioning program take care of the alignment today or I have to resort doing manual partitioning with a separate tool?
After reading Markus Ewald blogpost on http:[url]...n-ssd-on-linux about Aligning an SSD on Linux I decided to give it a try.I have bought two 80 GB Intel X25-M SSD for my home server. The plan is to install Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit server and use the SSDs as system discs and vmware data storage using software raid for redundancy.After reading the blog post I am not sure how to make all my partitions aligned and set up on EBS (Erase Boundary Size)I am planning for four partitions:Boot, size 1GB
Root, size 25GB Swap, size 4GB Data storage for vmware server, size 40GB
According to Markus Ewald I should use 32 heads and 32 sectors.Using the live CD, I started using fdisk -S 32 -H 32 /dev/sda.Fdisk can create partitions using cylinders or sectors, and now I ran into trouble.
First partition /boot must start on cylinder 2 (or sector 1024). Size is 1 GB and the following partition should be aligned and start on a new EBS block. How do I do this with fdisk?Should the next partition start on a new cylinder? Otherwise, after formatting, fdisk gives a warning that the partition is not aligned to the cylinder size? The overall question is how to format four aligned partitions which all are aligned with Intels X25-M EBS. EBS for Intel X25-M is either 128KB or 512KB (Have not found a confirmed value yet)
recently my window list in the bottom panel (where it shows all the minimized windows, etc.) got removed. When I added it back,'s not aligned all the way to the left as expected, it's more towards the middle
I'm on Ubuntu 11.04, and am trying to overlay a static blue coastline image onto a geostationary animation with 12 frames using imagemagick. I have received no replies from them on their forums.The code I used to create the composite animation is as follows:
I want to write a function which calculates the space needed between fields, to generate a table with aligned fields, like when you type "ls -l", the operating system generates a table with beautifully aligned fields. I've got this code so far:
Code:
for line in $(cat tmpSearch) do line=`echo $line | tr ":" " "`
I'm on Ubuntu 11.04, and am trying to overlay a static blue coastline image onto a geostationary GIF animation with 12 frames using imagemagick. The code I used to create the composite animation is as follows:
It's a bit hard to see, but the blue outline should be aligned much farther to the left on the image, but the vast majority of it is cut-off to the right because it is shifted so far. It should be centered. Both the outline and the background are actually cropped regions out of respectively larger images that are identical in size and are designed to be overlaid.
If I choose a cropped region farther to the right on the background animation, the cropped blue outline of the same region won't even show up at all after the overlaying, as if it is shifted completely off the screen for some reason. I have had success overlaying outlines before with the above command, but here it is not working. I tried appending "-gravity center" to the command with no success.
I doing malloc and getting the chunk of dynamic memory. Now I want it to align that memory to 64KB. This means that the address of the memory starts from 64KB or multiple of 64KB.
The lines beginning with greater-than symbols are the sequence descriptors and the lines immediately after each descriptor with A-Z characters, dashes, and question marks are the aligned DNA sequences. The sequences are always the same length within a file and never span/wrap across more than one line.I am trying to write a script to remove positions in the sequences that are only represented by a -, X, ?, or N (these represent gaps or missing data). Also, if there is exactly one non-gap/missing character in a position it is also useless (there is nothing to compare it to) so I would like to remove those positions as well.
Position 5 (from the left) was removed because it was all gap/missing characters. Position 9 was removed because only one character was a non-gap/missing character. Position 10 was retained because there were 2 non-gap/missing characters.I'm really not sure where to start here. My first concern is I can't figure out how to tell awk to treat each character in lines not containing a greater-than symbol as a separate field. After that, I'm thinking I should use set up a counter to count the number of lines with gap/missing characters comparing that to the total number of lines not containing greater-than signs?
I am new to Debian but not Linux-based systems. I have been experimenting a lot with Debian Lenny/Squeeze. I am growing more comfortable each day with the Debian design. Yet there remain many unexplored areas. I am creating a migration check list. Things to check, prepare, or reconfigure when moving from one Linux-based system to Debian.
I have a good computer background and my current check list probably is fairly good. Yet I would appreciate input and opinions from experienced Debian users of things to watch in such a migration. Login defs, passwd/group files, different directory locations, keymaps, services and daemons, etc. I am not too concerned with the desktop as I plan to stick with KDE 3.5 for a while and I can basically move those settings across.
I am using sda1 as /, which is a bootable drive. I do not know if my problem is that I did not create a /boot drive. After removing the iso dvd, I tried to reboot and I get this back: -bash: /sbin/reboot: input/output error Then it returns me to the terminal prompt.
What does the "Keep Aligned" option for the desktop do in Ubuntu (Nautilus)? I was expecting it to work much like what I had previously seen in other operating systems, but it doesn't.So for example, I can drag an icon and drop it two pixels away from its original place, and it is not aligned back to the previous place automatically, however, if I disable and re-enable the Keep Aligned option, it is aligned to the grid.Is it that Keep Aligned option is not working on my installation, or is it generally supposed to work like that?
Today I installed starDict in my Fedora LiveUSB, after I reboot machine. The system backtrack the original one, and then I update the kernel, the system also backtrack.
Why LiveUSB have this function. Can you explain theory about LiveUSB.
In Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) right-click the desktop and uncheck the "Keep Aligned" checkbox.Then reboot. Now the Keep Aligned checkbox is checked again. Keep Aligned automatically reverts to the checked state. I didn't have this problem with Ubuntu 9.04.Why can't I permanently uncheck the Keep Aligned checkbox?If you search Ubuntu Forums for the term "Keep Aligned", you will find several discussions about this bug, some dated almost 6 months ago. As yet no one has offered a solution. Several people, including myself, are very irritated by this bug.
I hav got RHEL 5 installed on my system. i have two nic cards in my system. one of the ethernet card is connected to internet provider and another nic to another system in lan. I have configured one of the nics to get ip automatically from internet service provider and another nic has got static address. on reboot the static dns and dns search path assigned on second ethernet is also changing, may be coz i hav configured dynamic ip on another nic. in this situation am able to get internet but am not able to communicate with other system in lan. can we not have two different setting as we can hav in windows.
