Software :: Vertical Task Bar
Feb 6, 2010
First off, I'd like to thank all the people on these forums. Gotten a lot of help and answers from reading these forums.So I've been trying for what seems like forever to get a decent vertical task bar. So far, KDE seems to be the only thing that manages to get it close, but I don't want to be restricted to KDE to have a desktop that works the way I want it to.I've also tried some dock apps, and while they look nice, I'm not really liking them.
Here's basically what I'm looking for:shows a nice vertical list with a small icon followed by the name of the window.keeps windows from the same application next to each other (but doesn't group them all into one keeps everything reasonably sized; doesn't make a single window take up all the available vertical space support some kind of window notification flashing (ex. an IM window flashing when you get a new message)

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

But, if I close terminal window, jedit dies to. How do I laucnch jedit and completely divorce it from the terminal task?

I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

I have an Asus G51 laptop and for some reason the vertical bar/backslash button produces the greater than/less than symbol (<<>>) instead of the vertical bar. I was wondering what the command is for changing a character that the key produces.

I'm trying to enable a non standad vertical refresh rate of my crt in squeeze/gnome under the radeon driver, which does work under lenny and fglrx out of the box without any additional manual configuration. I already tried adding the VertRefresh option to xorg.conf under the Monitor Section, but that didn't worked out so far. One strange thing is that if i look into the Xorg log file i can see a line which sais as if the driver can see the possible refresh rates, but still in gnome i cant set those refresh rates to be active
# /var/log/Xorg.0.log|less
(II) RADEON(0): Ranges: V min: 50 V max: 160 Hz, H min: 30 H max: 85 kHz, PixClock max 180 MHz
These are probably only the rates which my crt can handle, but still im unable to set 1024x768x100Hz because the max i get is 85Hz for that resolution.

I'm still getting some vertical lines through my splash screen, they are just a little darker purple than the rest of the screen, but disappear over the ubuntu logo/text/dots. I've tried the following from the faq, which made the screen at least show up, which is wasn't doing before.
Bootup/Plymouth.
Users should experience a much faster boot however some users may experience problems with Plymouth after the nVidia graphics driver has been enabled. Users may experience plymouth using lower graphics resolution. [URL]
Graphical solution : [URL]
Command line :
(Some of the fixes put forward dont work for everyone.)
One that works for nVidia and to try is this.
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
and add the line in BOLD.
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1680x1050 Save the file and run
Code:
sudo update-grub
The resolution chosen should be your monitors native resolution.
Other graphics card users may get a black screen with flashing cursor and then a very short duration plymouth. [URL]. One fix for this is to create this file.
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
and add this option FRAMEBUFFER=y, save the file.
Then
Code:
sudo update-initramfs -u

For some freaky reason, my synaptics touchpad no longer supports vertical scrolling! No idea why, it worked fine yesterday.

is there a way to move the cursor upward in Minicom when connected to another machine ?
I have an embedded system connected to the PC via null-modem. The embedded machine is to "redraw" the screen on the PC every second. Right now it sends the Form Feed command (0Ch) and sends the screen data down to the end of the page. The flow in detail as seen from the embedded sytem:
1) send FF (0Ch)
2) send text "blah blah one two and so on .."
3) goto step 1
This approach works but the minicom screen on the PC flickers due to the Form Feed command. So I need to find a way to move the cursor up (like a reverse vertical tabulation) to the upper left corner of the screen without using the Form Feed command. In a HOWTO I found something like "vertical coupling" that may be used for such cases, but no more hints than that.

I am seeing the Vertical screen wrap problem (discussed in [URL]) on a 64-bit Athlon XP desktop with the Ubuntu version that I installed yesterday (10.04 LTS 32-bit).
Vertical screen wrap, with the mouse pointer offset by a few pixels to the north, taskbar partially visible .
The xserver video amd package version is, xserver-xorg-video-amd 2.11.8-4 and the geode package is, xserver-xorg-video-geode 2.11.8-4. Is it possible that the problem lies in the new geode package (and not the intel/amd driver) ?

The screen info says it is 1280*1024*60Hz.I put this into the nouvou monitors hardware control centre. The screen is too stretched in the vertical. Some icons are cut off at the top.The screen is a V7 videoseven.For some reason the menu controls on the screen only work on the non screen movement icons. I cannot access them .how to get the vertical height corrected? If I have I will go back to the NV proprietary drivers but I would prefer not to do so.

I have gpointing devices 1-4 installed on ubuntu 10.10. The vertical and horizontal scrol both used to work. I have the latest 1.1.1 dkms synaptics driver posted in that bug forum. But now the horizontal scroll using two fingers does not work at all. I have it checked under mouse settings AND in gpointing devices. Is this a known bug?
Apparently I can't delete this. It has been solved. Smooth scrolling in Chrome kills horizontal scrolling

I am using LibreOffice 3.3.2 Final on a 10.10 Ubuntu Laptop.Everything I print from LibreOffice and Openoffice is printed ~2 cm too high. Printing from other programs as Document Viewer and GIMP is just fine. It's not a settings problem, Ive checked everything hundred times. I am printing on HP Deskjet connected to a wireless router with CUPS 1.4.4 Driver.

I (very!) recently installed Mandriva (10.1) on my old-ish HP tx1000 laptop, and cannot connect it to my TV (via the usual external VGA connector) without considerable picture distortion: the image scrolls and wobbles, as if the vertical adjustment is faulty. (One used to get this effect with one's TV if the antenna wasn't properly adjusted.)
I can see both monitors in "Monitor Preferences" - and have tried playing with the parameters available there (there is a general refresh rate setting, but nothing to adjust vertical rate alone), without having any effect on the scrolling distorted image. I can drag windows back and forth between the two monitors, though only the laptop one is usable.

I'd like to widen the width of the standard vertical scrollbar in firefox 3.6 or above. I know now that it is not an edit in about:config and appears that you have to edit in user.js, prefs.js, or in the Profile folder but I 3 prefs.js in my profile folder -
prefs.js
prefs-1.js and
prefs-2.js
Secondly, I cannot find the user.js file. its location if it is still a viable file to edit. which (or what) prefs file I should concentrate on for this edit.
Plainly, it shouldn't be this tough to adjust the vertical scrollbar width, in a perfect world it would be adjustable though Windows. Anyway, this old fart's having difficulty grabbing that scrollbar.

I need a better tutorial than the out of date books I own or I can find using Google. If someone has a place they would recommend, please provide a link. I have a web page that is 3 column. I would like each column to vertical scroll separately. I would also like to keep the jump code in the left column if that is possible. Go here for the my web page and source code. [URL]

I installed the slack 13 in an old Toshiba Qosmio F10, and everything was ok...but then,like 2 or 3 days after,I got a display problem at boot time: the screen is flashing, in vertical lines,so I read 2 letters,and then the next 2 are flashing. And it can't boot. 'Loading the kernel' is the last message.
I tried booting from the slack cd, the huge.s, but I got the same.
The strange is that if I use an old (very old) live cd, Kurumim 4.0, a dead Debian-based Brazilian live-cd, it boots. And then I have the vertical lines in graphic mode, but the notebook works.
I think that this is a hardware problem, but since it works with an old debian livecd,I suppose it should also be bootable with Slack.
EDITED: Ok,I tried Ubuntu and it couldn't boot,but eith the 'grapfical safe mode' it booted.
Since I can't believe that even Ubuntu would boot, but not the Slack, I tried
Quote:
# VESA frame buffer console @ 640x480x256
vga=769
and it is working...so the problem must be really hardware, the graphic card..Now I will try some others graphic definitions to see which one is the best

I have sixteen workspacess arranged in a 4x4 square. When the Compiz desktop cube is enabled, I can only switch between four of them on a row. All keys that would otherwise allow me to switch up and down between rows are disabled, even the ones I set outside of Compiz.
What is worst is that even the Window switchers are unable to change the current row I am on. If I use the Ring, Shift or Static switchers' "All Workspaces" modes, I can see the windows on all sixteen workspaces - but trying to switch to a window that is above or below the row I am currently on will only rotate around to the correct workspace's column, but not actually bring up the workspace the window is on. To navigate between all workspaces, I have to use the "Expose" feature.
Is there any way I can have a cube for horizontal navigation, but keep ordinary vertical navigation?

I want to add a vertical slider to a JTextPane component. When I do, I get the slider but I don't get a thumb - i.e. the slider doesnt do anything here is my code
Code:
JPanel dataPane = new JPanel(); // create panel dataPane
ta2 = new JTextPane(); // textpane
if (true)
[Code]...
the (true) lets me do something like ifdef to try out my new ideas as you see, this code comes when I create the object but before I populate it. maybe I need to do something after I populate the textpane?

Ubuntu 9.04 works fine, I have just installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx without problems, it runs fine but after a while the screen starts flashing and the only way out is to reboot with ctrl-alt-del. First of all I get a pale purple screen with blocks of random colour in the middle then it goes on to flashing between two screens. In one the top half of the screen is vertical black and white stripes and the bottom half is black, in the other it is a terminal screen with this distributed across it:
Starting common Unix printing system cupsed
Pulse Audio configured for per-user-sessions
Enabling additional executable binary formats binfmt support
Checking battery state
On the latest occasion the text was "could not write bytes: Broken pipe" repeated all over the screen, followed by "checking battery state".

Just a day ago I did a clean install of 10.04, after wiping the disk clean of 9.10. So far everything's working great. Except for my old dual-screen configuration. A year or two ago I badly wanted to have 2 monitors, where both would share the same desktop/workspace allowing me to drag windows back and forth between the two. After a lot of research, I finally was able to put together (although a probably quite sloppy) xorg.conf file that did the trick for me.
My case is somewhat unique in that my left monitor is horizontal, while my right monitor is rotated 90 degrees, and is vertical. In 10.04, my old xorg.conf file sort of works, but I have problems on my right, vertical screen:
- when I move my cursor onto the vertical screen, when I try to move it above where my left, horizontal screen's boundaries end, my cursor jumps down to the bottom of my vertical screen. I can't access anything with my cursor above this boundary on my vertical screen. Note that my vertical screen's bottom is in aligned with my horizontal screen's bottom, and that the vertical screen sticks up above the horizontal screen, as both have a 1680 x 1050 resolution/widescreen aspect ratio.
- however, it appears that only my cursor is having issues accessing the upper part of my vertical screen. When I maximize windows in this screen, they properly fill it up entirely like they should. (but I still can't access the top parts of these applications with my cursor).
So obviously there must be some boundary managing where my cursor is allowed to go, and another set of rules defining the boundaries that the windows themselves can be shown/take up. Also note that because of my right monitor being rotated vertically, I'm forced to use Xinerama. Can someone help me go through my xorg.conf file, below, to help me get this "simple" cursor issue fixed? I'm sure it's just one minor thing that has to be changed, but I'm not sure what:
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Sun Feb 1 20:21:04 UTC 2009
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder57) Thu Jul 17 18:39:19 PDT 2008
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
[Code]...

I don't seem to have an "xorg.conf" file.
Gateway SB400a computer with Edubuntu Lucid installed. The problem first cropped up when I installed the Edubuntu packages on Ubuntu. I did a fresh install with Edubuntu and the problem persists. I don't want to go back to Ubuntu since this computer is for my Grandkids and I want to the Edubuntu stuff for them.
I don't have the specs handy, but I can get them. what I have to do to get them. (it happens when you get old)

I'm using the default Ambiance theme with 11.04, but my bottom gnome panel has strange white vertical lines as well as a very light background on active windows. It's almost as if it's using the Clearlooks theme for open applications and Ambiance for everything else. Also when I right click some of the systray items I get weird backgrounds in the tooltip. So far I've tried deleting all my .gnome config folders in my home directory, logging in/out etc. and nothing seems to work. Attached screenshots of the problems.

I've got 10.04 installed on my Blade 1000 workstation. Installed 6.06 first and worked my way up as per other postings. See attached cookbooks I wrote. Framebuffer is Elite3D-lite, and I have done the afbinit install. Using Xorg w/ Gnome and other windowing software to eliminate the possibility it is Gnome. From what I understand, Ubuntu does not require a custom X11 conf file like OpenBSD.
Current screen output shows large vertical stripes, where the stripes overlay on top of the GNOME desktop. Inside the stripes are the prior boot screen output of Ubuntu 10.04. When the screen saver kicks in, the Gnome desktop disappears, but the blue 10.04 stays visible. Mouse cursor moves across the screen, under each stripe as it goes.
My knowledge of framebuffers is limited. Would this then imply that the framebuffer is not fully "refreshing"? The screen does not provide full width even though the correct OpenBoot monitor configuration is set. Haven't found any mention of this issue from other Ubuntu/Linuxes Sparc users. Attached the X11 log. Looking at the log, I suspect this will need a custom X11 config file.
