The distribution I chose came with the GnoMenu, and it's really cool that I can customize it. But so far I only know how to change the GnoMenu button itself to things that I have to download from the internet. How to create my own GnoMenu button themes? And sound themes, if you have a lot of spare time?
View 1 RepliesOn Fedora 13 if I change a theme for Firefox the buttons are always spaced the same way. If I try to install the Vista theme style of Ff the forward and backward page view buttons will not be joined but be separated and placed the same distance apart as the original Firefox theme. Also this concept matches my file manager layout.
So my thinking is there must be an application somewhere up on the chain that controls (template) for windows themes, GTK maybe? Whatever controls the themes must be an API of another program. What is this program and can it be edited to change the control button template?
I'm trying to install new themes on ubuntu but it tells me that GTK + themes 'ubuntulooks'is not installed and won't load up the themes as it should.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a Linux system, RH Enterpise 5, that I must toggle between two different languages, one being English, but when I am in English mode I only want to get capital letters for my user programs. I can't use the Caps-lock key, because then the default key to toggle between the languages no longer works when Caps-lock is on and I need to be able to switch back and forth languages with a single key stroke. So, I need capital English letters but mixed case second language characters and a single key to toggle between the two. I can't figure out a solution for this. I have tried different mods to xmodmap, but can't solve it for both languages.Oh, slight correction, the default keys for toggling languages Alt-R and Alt-L are fine, just need upper case in English mode.

In 10.04, I am able to get to the dialog in NM that asks for the network name and security for the creation of a new wireless network. However, the "Connect" button is grayed out and filling out all fields doesn't allow me to press it. I assume that this means that either there is a problem with my configuration or that my network card is not supported. Here is the lshw entry for my wireless card:
Code:
*-network
description: Wireless interface
product: PRO/Wireless 4965 AG or AGN [Kedron] Network Connection
vendor: Intel Corporation

EDIT2: Well, I was able to make an ad hoc connection via "Edit Connections" This seems to be a bug in the NetworkManager dialog.
I want to play around my .bashrc file, but I can't seem to find a general guide to customizing it. I just want a guide that will show me examples and explain them in-depth.

I am working on Fedora, I am trying to figure out if there is any way we can set limitations/rights to linux desktop, so that we can control which things user can access, like if i dont want user to have access to kde control center, and should not change the settings in it, or disable changing wallpaper,or disable changing screen saver. How that can be done in linux?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have used "Gnomenu" in the past and thought it was quite good. I did have some stability problems with it, or it seemed that way. My question is as follows.
Is Gnomenu available for Ubuntu 11.04.
Is it stable and lastly is there anything better.
I don't like to use Compiz or Emerald or anything fancy as i find
I end up with problems with my title bars etc.
This guide will show you how to install GnoMenu 2.9 on Fedora 12/13, & how to install custom themes for GnoMenu. I will cover the install feature that is built into the software, & the manual install procedure. Because personally I have NEVER been able to get the built-in install feature to work. If it works for you, Great! If not, you can still install manually.
Download & Install GnoMenu 2.9
1.) Visit the Official GnoMenu site and download the latest version of the program. (2.9 at time of writing)
1a.) https://launchpad.net/gnomenu. (notice: This is also a secure site)
1b.) DO NOT download and install this program from any unofficial source.
2.) Open the archive you just downloaded. (gnomenu-2.9.tar.gz)
2a.) Copy the entire folder (gnomenu) from inside the archive, to your /tmp folder.
3.) Open a terminal and run the following commands.
Code:
3a.) This is the actual install process. It should not take very long at all.
4.) After the installation is finished, browse to your /tmp folder and delete the /gnomenu folder. It is no longer needed.
5.) Right-click your panel and select 'add to panel' from the context menu.
5a.) In the "Add to Panel" window select GnoMenu and click the 'Add' button. (as shown)
GnoMenu 2.9 is now installed. So first of all, you should remove the standard 'Menu Bar' from your panel and move the GnoMenu button to the far left of your panel (kinda like the windows start button). You can of course place the button anywhere on the panel. The choice is yours.
Now, lets right-click the GnoMenu button and select 'Properties'. The dialog box that opens lets you choose & install various theme elements, as well as setup all other options and features... Lets take a quick look at the tabs on the Properties dialog before moving on to the manual theme installation procedure.
The 'Themes' Tab.
This tab allows you to select the themes you want to use, & install new themes. The 'themes' are divided into four categories: Menu, Button, Sounds, and Icons. To install a new theme, press the Install button for the type of theme you are installing and select the theme archive you have downloaded. You DO NOT extract the theme files from the archive. I cannot get this method to work so I have included a manual install guide at the bottom of this thread.
The Preferences Tab.
This tab contains a LOT of various settings! You will just have to play around with them and find the setup that works best for you and the theme that your currently using. With some menu themes I like to increase my Icon Size, or use my system icons instead of the theme icons. These options are all personal preference.
The Commands Tab.
This tab allows you to set custom commands for all of the various buttons on the Menu's. Such as Shutdown, Restart, Lock Screen, Help, Search, ect., I suggest leaving these values alone unless you need to change one of them for some specific reason...
GnoMenu 2.9 is now installed and configured. Lets move on to installing a custom theme...
Manual Installation for Custom Themes.
If your built-in install feature works as well as mine does, then you will have to manually install all of the themes that you download. In order to do that you must copy files into a directory that needs Root access!! We could Log in as Root, but this is not very safe, and it would be very inconvenient. So we are going to make a Launcher that will open a new instance of Nautilus with Root permissions. When you close that instance of Nautilus the Root permissions will no longer be active. So this makes it easy to access directories that need Root permissions, & it does not create a security issue...
1.) Download a custom GnoMenu theme...
1b.)Download: 'Carbon' Menu Theme (carbon.tar.gz) - I uploaded this file - Find more @ gnome-look.org
2.) Create a new Launcher on your Desktop.
2a.) In the 'Type' box select 'Application in Terminal'.
2b.) In the 'Name' box type 'Browse Files as Root'. (or anything you want)
2c.) In the 'Command' box type: sudo 'nautilus'
2d.) Leave the 'Comments' box empty... and click 'OK'
3.) Extract the 'Carbon' folder from the archive you just downloaded. (carbon.tar.gz) unto your Desktop
3a.) Dbl-Click on your new Launcher and open Nautilus with Root permissions. (You may or may not be prompter to enter a password. Depending on how you have SUDO configured on your machine)
3b.) Inside Nautilus copy the entire 'Carbon' folder from your Desktop and paste it into the following location:
/usr/share/gnomenu/Themes/Menu
Your Custom Theme has now been installed and you can set it to be used by entering the GnoMenu properties and selecting it on the 'Theme Tab'. You can download hundereds of different Menu, Button, Icon, and Sound themes for GnoMenu by visiting the GnoMenu Theme Area at: www.GNOME-LOOK.org
NOTICE: each type of theme has it's own folder that it has to be installed into, or it will not work at all. Here is a list of the correct directories..
Menu Themes:
I had a theme with Gnomenu before where there was a small black apple for the start menu with a gray panel. The rest of the menu was in the style of the default menu. I have reinstalled since and can't find this any more. Do any of you happen to have the theme I'm talking about?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm still on that steep learning curve but have been enjoying playing around with the desktop environment. I've installed gnomenu and would like my win key to open it.
How do I manage to do this? I notice in the Gnomenu Settings that the "Bind keyboard key ex: Super_L" is ticked but not sure what this means exactly.
I have had GnoMenu since 10.04 and have had no problems with it and for a while in 10.10 it was working fine but not to long ago I started getting and error message saying:
The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_GnoMenu".
I've looked far and wide and cannot seem to find an answer.
I am having a hard time trying to install "gnomenu". Can u give me the commands and generally what do I do to install it via the terminal?

Does anyone know what might be causing this problem?
I decided to bite the bullet and install AWN 0.4 beta, because it supported GnoMenu. However, adding the GnoMenu applet to AWN triggers a UnicodeDecodeError, which looks something like this:
Code:
UnicodeDecodeError in GnoMenu: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xb5 in position 1: unexpected code byte
The traceback is as follows:
Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/awn/extras/awnlib.py", line 1462, in init_start
[Code].....
I've done a quick google search and didn't really find anything that I understood. I DID find a reference to the bug on launchpad, but supposedly it was fixed as of version 2.1 and I'm running the latest version I could find which I believe is 2.9 so I'm a bit lost.
Any help would be great, if you need more info, just tell me how to get it and i shall do so as I really am missing gnomenu. If it makes any difference, I'm on ubuntu 11.04 64bit running in classic mode
While searching the net I found how to complete disable the functionality of the middle mouse button but I need this button for many other uses.I want to disable only it's paste action.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI decided I would try to custimize Fedora to my liking (which proved to be overwhelming). I installed Compiz-fusion and enabled "wobbly windows", which forced me to disable "snapping windows". After doing that, I rebooted to enable the effects and it starts up to a command line.I pressed CTRL+ALT+F2, logged in and ran "rm -rf .gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity" which I was told would reset my gnome shell, which it didn't. I know Compiz Fusion caused this crash, how can I revert back or at least get my GUI back.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm experiencing weird issues with Gnome themes. Basically, when I use gnome-theme-manager and I choose a theme it... does not work. Nothing happens, nothing changes. Everything is working for pre-installed themes.
