General :: What Is It Called When You Move A PDF Window While It Is Loading
May 18, 2010
1. What is it called when you move a PDF window while it is loading and the window manager does not keep up with the image, (it gets all blurry when the window is moved?)Why does this happen?
2. Why is it that when a browser window is clicked to load a new address it won't always go to it. It has to be clicked again.
3 Why is it that sometimes IE is the only browser that will work on XP. FireFox and Opera will not load a page but IE will.
4 Why is it that Firefox on Linux sometimes everything inside the window is slow to appear. It has to be closed to fix it. When the contents does appear it is all at once.
5.Why is printing different things on Linux a problem. I have a lot of inconsistency with trying to print things from Evince. Some docs print and some won't. Copying and pasting is also a problem for Evince.Why?
6. Is there a way to have Linux Shut down after computer activity has stopped and not just with a timer. Lets say I'm trying to download something and I want it to turn off after it has finished with the down load.
7. Why are some Web pages biased towards Windows. I notice that some java scripts will only run right on Windows machines with IE. A lot of on-line forms are like this.
8. Can (MOVIES, PICTURES AND MUSIC) torrents be downloaded on Linux without risk?
9. It seams that Linux browsers do not keep previous web pages in memory so if you want to go back Linux always has to reload them from the server. Why is this?
10. Why is it that browsers sometimes won't indicate that the page has finished loading, "ever".
11. Why does Linux turn on the number-lock when loading its self?
12. Why can't the brightness be adjusted in Totem? There is a menu to change it but it does not work.

Script programming question for the experts. I have written a bash script that works fine if I execute from the shell interactively. However, once I schedule it to be executed via cron, it just wouldn't work. I believe this has to do with cron running in a different environment than the one I am in when I putty in.
The bash shell script does refer to environment variables in the .cshrc file. I guess these aren't available to the cron? How can I load them into the script if I want them to be available to the cron locally within the script?

How do I move the Window control buttons when the window is in full screen mode? I.e.: I know how to go into gconf-editor:
Code:
gconf-editor --> apps --> metacity --> general --> button layout = ":minimize,maximize,close"
(I've intentionally disabled the menu...)
What I want is my window controls to be on the right side of the window when the window is in full screen mode.
Also I've had an issue with the Unity dockbar glitching out. I can still click on the buttons (i.e. the logout button) but it displays like a nintendo game inserted crooked. Is there a way to 'restart' unity without log out/ log in?
Any one else experienced any glitches with unity auto hiding/showing?

I feel there's a bit of a misunderstanding going on between C++ and me...My problem is that I have a deque of pointers to a class, and create objects then add them to the deque in a for loop. However, the destructor is called on the object as soon as the loop quits.
Code:
This prints:
Code:
Now, if I change the deque from deque<Test*> to deque<Test> then it works fine - I get:
Code:
However, I can't do this with my actual code, because I am creating a deque of pointers to an abstract class, so it won't let me instantiate the class. (This is all so that I can take advantage of polymorphism, and call functions on a set of similar objects without worrying what type of object I'm dealing with).
So, I suppose my question is: what is the correct way to create that deque of pointers to the abstract class? I don't seem to be barking up the right tree currently.

Upgraded from Karmic to Lucid (no clean install so to speak). Changed the visual effects to normal, but I somehow can't move a window to my 2nd desktop.
Changed the window manager from Compiz to metacity using the compiz fusion icon, but no result.

I can't move/resize/decorate/restore the vlc window. It takes up the entire screen (even though it is not in full screen mode) on one of my monitors. I'm using Openbox. This doesn't happen with any other type of window.[URL]..

After installing SuSE 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4 "release 2", if find the followingrather annoying behavior:After dragging a window by its titlebar along the top edge of the screenand releasing it, in invariably maximizes. Dragging the same window belowthe edge and then moving it vertically up, it stays as is (and as desired).Found no related settings in "system setup - window behavior".

i just installed openSuse and i have very little experience with linux OS. I used this guide to setup my two monitors and they are both running ok but i have the following problem:My mouse pointer can go to the second monitor without a problem, but i can't move a window there. When i move the window to the edge of the screen it just resizes it. it doesn't move it to the next screen.

I have two windows A and B open unmaximized such that their area overlaps with A in front. If I click window B it gets the focus as I expect, but window A stays on top of it. All my keyboard events get sent to window B correctly, but I need to click on the title bar for it to appear on top of window A. Switching windows using Alt+TAB or taskbar click works as I expect - window B will appear on top. I encountered this in 10.4, not sure if it was there before or I only noticed it now. Is this a bug or some setting somewhere I need to adjust?

If not, is there a way to manualy edit a config file or something to move it to... the top left for example ( 0,0 ) or (100,100)?

I just upgraded to ubuntu 11.04.
Before, I could move windows between screens by pressen "Strg-Alt-Enter" (a shortcut I configured myself). Now that does not work anymore.
I remember configuring this shortcut somewhere in ccsm, but now I can not find it anymore.

when i move a window around on my desktop its splited up into two where the bottom half sluggishly follows the top half i.e. the top half of the window is leading as i move the window around the desktop rather than moving around smoothly(i.e. moving the say vlc around without the window splitting[moving it around as one]. this issue also persist in fire fox where when i scroll down a web page, the page is split in two where one half of the webpage overlaps the other dependant whether i scroll up or down.
my computers configuration is:
64bt UBUntu 10.04
MSI 870A FUZION......
AMD phenom II x6
ATI HD 4550(XFX)
[Code]...

I use Xubunt 10.04, today when login, I found:
1)I lost ability to move application window. eg, The firefox window is stuck and anchored at the upper left corner. I can still resize by dragging the lower right corner. I notice the upper right corner resize tab disappears. If open another application, it is again anchored at upper left corner and cannot be moved.
2)under Settings>Xfce Setting Manager> Window Manager, all the icons are gone. Same inside Window ManagerTweaks. I used "xfce4-panel" in terminal, it doesn't help.

I'm relatively new to Ubuntu and I have a question. I have compiz config settings manager and I did some changes there but I've noticed now that for example when a skype chat window is open and when I move my mouse pointer away, the window disappears. It's not exactly like disappearing cause when I hover over the window, it shows itself but it's pretty annoying ;/ I've changed so many settings but no result

Upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 which trashed my useful desktop.
Synapticed gnome and changed login preferences to ubuntu classic which basically fixed the desktop except...
If I open a program, say LibreOffice or firefox it opens correctly.
If I move the window to the second screen, it switches to fullscreen mode.
If I click on the resize button, then it opens correctly, but on the first screen

On my main PC (10.04) I have Alt+1,Alt+2 etc configured to jump to that specific workspace and ctrl+Alt+1,ctrl+alt+2 etc to move the focused window to the specific workspace and it works fine. Trying to replicate that on my netbook (11.04/unity) however fails. I can set the keyboard shortcuts up to switch to different workspaces but the shortcuts to move a window to a specific workspace just dont seem to work. The default RSI inducing default ctrl+shift+alt+(up,down,left & right) to move a window to an adjacent workspace does however. Is this specific to my install? If not how do i file a bug report?

on desktop, my mouse works normal. i can open programs normally, BUT, when i try to click inside some window, pointer turns into closed hand, that symbols dragging. i can move the window that way, but can't click anything except when holding shift, alt or ctrl.it's probably my fault, but i don't remember pressing anything different than usually. oh, and, it started in the middle of the session, i tried to reboot several times, tried recovery too, after that updated but no help there.i was looking for solution on google but can't find anything for days, i cant think of anything but reinstallation

I got everything configured from my compiz settings eye candy to animations on my cairo dock and cairo dock will close and go down when I maximize a window. My problem is when I have a small window and I wobble and move them to the dock, the dock wont disappear and the window looks dumb behind the docks/widgets. I tried many things and clicking on different options in the behaviour section. Could you just give me a heads up on what to do so I can get it done.

I don't know if this is a known issue, but when I want to copy/move a file to a folder containing lots of sub-folder displayed as list, I can't do a simple drag&drop, because there is no empty space to move this file. It will always go into one of the sub-folders. So obviously I have to go up one folder or to change view from list to Icon or Compact. Is it a known issue? Is there a solution? (Using GNOME nautilus 2.30.1)

I'm fairly new to ubuntu and I've been messing around with customizing my desktop/UI over the past week or so and I must have messed something up. After I got sick of how slow Wallpapoz was to change backgrounds between workspaces (I'm using GNOME) I turned on the Wallpaper plugin in Compiz and turned off the nautilus desktop. That worked great for the backgrounds but now whenever I try to drag windows around the cursor shudders and shakes and the wondows won't move smoothly. I eventually get them to where I want them to go but it's very annoying.
So far, I have re-enabled the nautilus desktop and reinstalled nautilus with synaptic, neither of which did anything.

So I was fooling around with compiz settings manager and was trying to get the cube to rotate around, and by doing so I disabled some plugins (because I was prompted to do so) and now Unity is gone and everything opens in the upper left hand corner so much so that I can't move the window. It was pretty rash for me just to disable plugins,how to get everything back to normal.
