This happens on every video player I have tried -Movie player, GNOME MPlayer, VLC. Running Mint 9 on an Elonex webbook.Completely new to Linux so may be missing something obvious.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI would like to know if there is a solution to this problem. The multimedia hotkeys (play/pause, stop, volume up/down, volume mute, ecc) stop working when i open any menu (for example mintmenu, that i use, or any menu of firefox like bookmarks) or if i start an application, such as openarena. The major problem is for volumes keys, that stop working in these cases.
Any ideas? I tried to change keyboard model, disable hotkeys mapped in prefereces->keyboard shortcut (with this they just stop working), but nothing changed.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I right-click on firefox, the menu that appears is sometimes quite long depending on where on the screen I click, and usually the top option dissappears under that top Panel of Gnome shell, so that I have to guess and click on the panel to get an "Open in New Tab" (which is usually my first option.) Is there a way to make it remain within the visible area or something? I'm on Fedora 15 64-bit.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently tweaking ubuntu to my liking. I got rid of the "menu bar" and replaced it with the "Main Menu". I don't like the black arrow on the Main Menu so I followed the instructions to get rid of it posted hereI got to the part where I type "sudo make" However, I get the exact error posted hereI tried to follow the solution, I installed libpanel-applet2-dev using synaptic. I tried to edit the "Makefile" in the directory /var/cache/apt-build/build/gnome-panel-2.30.2. However, when I opened this make file I did not find any line calledpanel-compatibility.$(OBJEXT) panel.$(OBJEXT) applet.$(OBJEXT)

Part of the directions included doing -r to about everything connected to the original install.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm an old-school dinosaur, and I'd like to understand how drag and drop works on the X window system under Linux. Is it build into the X protocol? Is it a function of the window manager? Do applications have to be aware of drag and drop? Is it both the applications and the window manager?I'm looking for a general technical understanding. If I have specific questions about how to modify an app to support drag and drop, I'll ask them over on Stackoverflow.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo I've kind of got sick of the stock Ubuntu 10.10 GDM theme, so I really want to change it. I Googled how to, and every tutorial brought me to the "Login Screen Settings" dialog and told me to either drag and drop the .tar.gz theme into the window or press the "Install" button. However, drag and drop wouldn't work, and there was no "Install" button.

View 9 Replies View RelatedThe menu bar - and pretty much everything else on my desktop - has disappeared after I let the system update itself.
Only the bar at the bottom is still there, and I can't start any applications, not even a terminal. No icons, no background, no anything (I got Firefox running by clicking on a link in the About KDE menu item in the task manager, which i started with ctrl-alt-del)
During the update the system just restarted, and afterwards it was like that.
How do I get it to work again?
