When I hover over an open programme which is on the task bar I get a pop up, but instead of a picture of the actually programme I get a grey box like this

Where is the loginscreen picture in F13? I want to change it, but can't find the directory where the picture is.I mean that picture that comes up after boot and loginscreen, blue with 3 white stripes.Is there any other way to change that loginpicture or is that loginpicture permanent to the F13 system ?
I installed 10.04 on a lappie the other day, and it all works nicely! BUT, there is also XP on another partition of the hard drive, and the Ubuntu install has taken some properties from the XP accounts on there. One of the properties it has taken is a picture associated with my account. (You know the thing, XP has them built-in. A cat looking through a mousehole, a kid on a bicycle, a chess board etc etc etc). And I can't remove it. System > Administration > Users and Groups shows me a list of all the accounts, and the picture associated with my account, but it doesn't have any method of removing the picture (or of associating a picture with any other account, come to mention it.)
I could create a new Ubuntu account without the picture but that would involve swapping settings between the accounts, which would be a pain.
i saved all my files onto an external hard drive before i installed ubuntu. I have dozens of pictures saved on a works processor. however, when i go to open it, all i get is a OBJ character. How can i retreive the picture?
I have a few problems with my graphics card (these exist in all distros that I used except Fedora): Hardware acceleration doesn't work. I am using the xf86-video-ati driver (that worked in Fedora).
Dual-head doesn't work. All I get is the same picture on both monitors. (that worked in Fedora automatically). I've asked these questions so many times before, but never got useful answers.
Just wondering if anyone knows how to put a picture in the header in LyX. Doing a document for work and want to put the company symbol in the header on each page at the top left.
I have done the whole lhead{insertgraphic{FILE PATH}} thing but it doesnt seem to want to work when I do that so just wondering if anyone has any tips for my in terms of something I am missing?
I have a set of images on my webpage,and when the mouse goes over them, I'd like a thin box around each image to tell the viewer that it's been selected (when clicked, it'll open a new window). How do I do this?
Problem: In Fedora 7 picture offset about 5 mm to righ on screen. I solved this with xvidtune and insert modeline in xorg.conf. In section Monitor..... I'm not sure. Why I can't use this trick in Fedora 12?
I'm able to set it up but everytime I reboot or logout it goes to the default Fedora12 picture. My pictures is in the list so have to select it everytime in system/preference/look & feel/apparence/background. I didn't find any file to edit in my home folder to fix this.
btw I'm unable to edit the menu when I right click on mainmenu icon
I got a digital picture key chain and it comes with windows software. I plugged it in and it's detected as a read only usb storage, so I can't upload any pictures in it
I'm converting my parents to ubuntu, so they stop complaining about how slow there windows installation is. I've only come to one problem now. my mom is in love with this Microsoft Picture It program, where she can fix red eyes, chance colors, contrast, tints, ect. Is there a program I can get for ubuntu thats very simple like Picture it? she is extremely computer illiterate, so the easier the better.
Im running ubuntu 10.04 on a Acer TravelMate 5520, ATI Xpress 1250. The Sony 40" TV is connected to the laptop with a VGA plug, but with 10.04 im finding the output picture is wobbly, distorted regardless of resolution.
It does work fine on ubuntu 9.04, picture perfect. Ive booted into both and checked the resolution and their identical.
Cheese Webcam Booth used to work fine but now it just closes after I open it, Facebook wont load my webcam (but other websites can, and I wanna take a picture. I'm using a Logitech Webcam. I don't know what kind because it doesn't say anywhere on the stupid thing, but it has a spinny thing (to adjust the focus I think) that says "Right Sound" on it, and it also has a microphone.
I miss seeing my picture in the MeMenu. Now that I've upgraded from 10.04 to 10.10, I notice it doesn't display there anymore. Does anyone know how I can add this feature back in? Not sure why this was removed, I thought it looked nice with the picture there.
I have successfully registered to ubuntu one. The sync is working in the /home/lovo/Ubuntu One folder but I would like to sync my Picture folder, as it says in this picture there: When I click on this button, nothing is happening. Nothing appear neither in [URL]. Is folder sync working ?
So some videos works correctly played in VLC (1.1.9), but some doesn't.For instance I tried to play a VMW file (the video codec for that video in particular is : Windows Media Video VC1 (WVC1) ).The file plays with sound, but the picture is just black so no video picture. Now I have the regular codec package installed and in most cases everything works fine, but for instance this video doesn't and there have been similar cases in the past aswell.
In order to develop an application on Ubuntu, i'm trying to configure the screensaverI get the logo of the application, and I would like to launch the screensaver with the logo (moving or not, it's not important).On windows we can execute a specific file and it run, but i don't find the same command on linux. Some tutorials speak about specific folder on /usr/share/background, and do some settings on gconf-editor.. Does it exist a more easier method ?
A bit back the "Pictures" folder used by the screen saver disappeared. I created a new one, and since I had the files backed up, I put my series of pictures in.But since then in screen saver mode a tremendous variety of pictures are showing up. Some from web pages I have looked at, some from another folder where I store personal fotos, some from pdf files I have looked at, and some I have no idea where they came from... and of course some from my Pictures folder.
This is not a "serious" problem, but I am left very curious as to what happened, or how to correct the situation.... if there is a correction.
