For some reason this doesn't work anymore. I can run the command from the terminal and it works fine. Is there something that I'm missing?
I recently recovered Unity after purging the Gnome3 PPA and running a dist upgrade again back to Unity. My problem now is that when I boot into Unity, all I get is the desktop, background and a cursor. I can click on and launch any apps that happen to be on the desktop, but I can't see the unity launch bar, or the action menu, or the top panel - which leads me to believe Unity isn't actually launching. The theory is further supported by the fact that if I launch Unity manually in a terminal ("unity") - it launches, after a brief loading period, and works perfectly. How can I make this happen automatically again?

A window opens to log in, but if I close that window skype disappears instead of minimizing to the panel like it used to. When I click the launcher it tells me there is another instance of skype running. (oh really?) Where?

View 9 Replies View Relatedkate is my favorite text editor, and everything was working fine until recently. Whenever launching Kate, whether by opening a text file or by clicking the Kate icon, a dialog box pops up that KDEInit could not launch 'konsole'. In the background, a konsole window flashes briefly before disappearing.The baffling thing is, that if I click the "run Kate" shortcut, instead of the Kate shortcut, then Kate launches normally. I'm running 11.2 with all the updates installed

I own a Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 1000 which I'm overall pleased with. The keyboard has some extra media and application launching keys which I try to assign in systemsettings>Input Actions. I believe the application is called khotkeys, however I'm not sure. Four different cases occurred as follows: The keys are recognized and can be assigned a command to run. When settings are saved the specified application launches. Examples of keys that works:
Code:
Physical key symbol : Recognized by khotkeys as : HEX code send by keyboard (obtained by showkeys)
Headphones : Tools : keycode 171 press, keycode 171 release
House : Home Page : keycode 172 press, keycode 172 release
All media keys (play/pause, next, prev, stop, vol-up, vol-down & mute)

KDEInit could not launch '/usr/bin/kwrite

Problem one: My keyboard wasn't working. Solution one: Needed a new xorg.conf file.
Problem two: How to open a programme in terminal without rendering the terminal unresponsive until that programme is closed. Solution two: Append a '&' at the end of the command. For example: gedit test-file & [/SOLVED]
The problem is, my keyboard doesn't respond when I first boot into Ubuntu. None of the keys seem to work except the 'power' key (which helps me turn this laptop on or off). During the second boot, I incessantly press the space bar hoping for something to happen. Only when the boot process completes and I see my desktop does the keyboard, finally, respond. That is precisely how I'm typing this very moment. I had not faced this problem on Windows. I use a laptop (an old one but not too old).
Nothing happens during the first boot regardless the key I press on any time.
It is a nuisance to restart my laptop and periodically strain my space bar for the keyboard to respond on the second boot (It refuses to respond on the first boot, regardless of what I do).
When I, sometimes, open files using gedit through terminal by typing: ~$ gedit PATH, what happens is that I am then unable to use any other commands on the same terminal until I close gedit or open another terminal. I can type in the terminal but nothing happens until I exit gedit. I would like my terminal to be responsive whilst I am working on gedit simultaneously. I hope it is not impossible...
The mouse has been working fine ever since we got Ubuntu 10.04, until I switched monitors. For some reason, after changing monitors from 4:3 to 16:9 and back, (changing the output res in the process), the mouse doesn't appear when starting up the computer. It still highlights things, and it will pop up completely when searching for something on Google Chrome, and a few other things. But for some reason, the mouse doesn't appear right away when starting up the computer. I'm not sure why this happened -- I'm new to Ubuntu, (used to Windows)

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am still new to Ubuntu but I am having a problem when booting into Ubuntu 10.10. When I turn on the computer, after a few screens go by I see a boot manager giving me the option of:
1: Earlier Versions of Windows
2: Windows 7
3: Ubuntu
All OSes are working with no trouble. But when I try to boot into Ubuntu, I get another boot screen that states:

When I choose 1 or 3, quite often it doesn't load up the startup GUI, it loads up some command line crap that I don't understand yet, where I type in reboot until I finally get Ubuntu loaded, this happens several times then finally works to the point I can log in. What could be going on, my install is inside Windows 7, not a full install if that matters. What is the difference between line 1 and 3?
A lot of times when I start up my computer, instead of the graphical login screen I'm brought to a CLI login. If I log in and do "startx," it'll start KDE, but sound doesn't work and the shutdown/restart options disappear. (The logout option is still there.) It's inconsistent; sometimes it'll start the GUI and sometimes it won't. I have yet to find out what causes it to work right and what causes it to bring me to the CLI. When it doesn't work, if I run "shutdown -r now" or "shutdown -h now," it'll start the GUI as the computer is shutting down. I've tried Ctrl+Alt+F7 when it's brought me to the CLI, but it didn't do anything

I have been an Ubuntu user for a few years now, and in the previous versions I have made numerous bootable USB devices, I always thought it was so useful, and I never have had any problems.I just installed version 9.10 the other day, and it seems to be working well, but the USB bootable disk creator is messed up big time.When i try to select an .iso image to add to the source disk image area, it is just unresponsive. And when i try to do something else, like format a USB device, it says i cannot format because the device cannot mounted. But i know its mounted because i can access the contents of the drive.Anyways this was a huge disappointment as I was showing a friend how useful the UBUNTU tools are, and it does this. Does anyone know anything about this bug?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently updated to Ubuntu 10.04. On this same machine I've used Ubuntu for 3 or 4 years now. Upgrading from 8 - 9 - 10. I love Ubuntu and use it as my everyday work environment. Anyway, recently when I start my machine in the morning it boots to commandline instead of the desktop. For the last couple days I boot to safe-mode and do a package repair. Sometimes more than once. Eventually I get the desktop to start but it is annoying. When trying to boot to Fail Safe Graphics Mode(?) I get an error stating: "Fatal Server Error: No Screens." The message referred me to /var/log/Xorg/failsafe.log.

i just installed Ubuntu from an ISO about a year old and of course i updated it to the latest version and when i get that screen at startup where i have a choice of which version to load i get something like this: My current version, memtest, an old installation of Ubuntu and some really old versions. The problem is i also have Windows7 and Vista installed(vista really needs to go) but i don't have either of them as a choice in the bootloader. How do i get it back? Also before the update i had it on the list.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to help my dad, who's recently got a computer that had Ubuntu 10.10 preinstalled. After some problems while I wasn't in a position to help out, I think a reinstallation is necessary. But when I make a USB drive to install it from, it only has .exe files, and nothing Ubuntu can use, so it doesn't boot on startup (even though it's set to boot from USB first) and it can't be run later either. This happens when I download the ISO from the main download page on the Ubuntu website, so is there a link to download one without Windows files?
