I seriously have no idea what I've done to my Ubuntu 10.10 desktop, but now my desktop looks like. As you can see, on the top-left corner of the screen, all my menus in "Application", as well as "Places, Systems" are missing now. How can I get all these back? Urgently.
View 5 RepliesI would like to use two monitors with my desktop, so connected them the other day and it worked straight away, which is good but... The monitor configuration app always want the primary monitor to be on the left hand side, thus it always extend my desktop right. Can I do anything to extend my desktop to the left instead of to the right so I can have background application on the screen to the left?

I work on OpenSuse 11.3 (64bit), on the latest kde.I work on an extended 1680x1050 screen on the left of my laptop screen (1280x800). I set this with Kxrandr and it worked great,a while... Now, it shows a black band on the right side of my laptop screen. I can live with that. But the mouse does not recalculate for this difference, so that I need to click 1 inch to the right of where I want to click.

Can't move the panel from top to bottom, Firefox did not have pull down menus for bookmarks etc. Where the did the Application ,Places and System panel menus go? In 10.10 and before I could right click on the desk top and add to the panel but, 11.04 does not even respond to right click.If this is a bug that has a fix please help but if this is normal for 11.04.please let me know how I can make 10.10 the default partition to boot.

I am using Ambiance Theme Can I move those options somewhere else on the top and get back the application logo at its place(which kind of looks smart and helps me differentiate between the applications in open windows faster) I haven't checked it in KDE but I am using Gnome(default with Ubuntu 10.04).

When I open a folder on the gnome desktop or within a subfolder everything seems to work fine. However, when I open a folder from the "places" menu on the top screen panel, it opens the folder in a different app (emacs). Is there a way to fix this behavior?

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, supposedly Gnome Shell is available through synaptic. I just downloaded and installed it and then ran gnome-shell --replace. It doesn't work at all. I hit the windows key and get nothing and there is no application launcher in the upper left hand corner and Alt-f2 produces nothing at all. Alt-tab gives me the option of choosing the windows that were running when I ran gnome-shell --replace but nothing else works at all. Just a vast expanse of digital nothingness. Does anyone know why this might be? I have an nvidia video card (see sig below) and two monitors running from "twin view".
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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.
Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.
Here is the output of df -h:
Code:
As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?
If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(
In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:

As per the title, the per application volume mixer has disappeared and I can no longer unmute things i have previously muted.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI updated to 11.04 recently, no problem. Chose to merge the old and new Grub files together. Rebooted to finalize everything, and my Grub menu had lots of doubling up of options, the old kernel, as well as two options of Windows XP (the old option that I'd put on Grub, and what I suspect was 11.04's recognition of another partition, as it was titled "Windows XP ... (on dev/sda2)")Then I fired up Grub Customizer, re-read and double checked everything, and removed all the doubling instances. All good. Shut down for the evening.
Booted up the PC this afternoon and my Grub menu looks thus (adjusted with artistic license, just so you get the picture):Windows XPUbuntu 11.04 (recovery mode)MemtestMemtestDell Utility PartitionWindows XP (on dev/sda2)I've lost the option to choose regular Ubuntu.I've gone into recovery mode, tried the "Update Grub" option, rebooted, but nothing changes.Now, there's a terminal login on Recovery Mode. I am effectively an Absolute Beginner when it comes to the terminal - I know a couple of commands, am eager to learn more when I have the time, but really couldn't tell you what the hell I'm doing. The last thing I want to do is make this worse by fumbling through code. This isn't Zork.If anybody would be kind enough to provide the terminal commands to change the Grub menu to add regular partitions, I'd be very grateful. If there's a different fix, equally good. If anybody's got any comments, diagnoses, verbal abuse, heap it on. I'm here to learn.
I'm not sure if I should post this question in "hardware & laptops", or "Desktop Environments", because this is a hardware problem on a desktop computer.
Description of Problem:There is another thread that discussed this same problem that I'm having: However that thread is so old that the suggestions in it no longer work in Ubuntu 10.04 and for whatever reason I can not make a reply to that thread.As in the above thread, I've tried other input devices and rebooting the computer and using other USB ports, and my mouse still intermittently double left clicks randomly at times when I've only clicked the left mouse button once and at times and places when it should only produce a single click such as when selecting a drop down menu.
Has any one else had this problem, and does any one have any idea how to fix it or to trouble shoot this a bit more? Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide to further clarify or troubleshoot this issue.
The first is about implementing function calls. The way I currently have it is that functions are called with a C++ std::vector of nodes as the parameters. How would I turn a comma-seperated list of expressions into a C++ vector in the grammar?Second, how do you implement left-associative operators in a parser that does not allow left recursion?
And third, what would be the best internal representation of integers? A C++ int seems simplest, but limited. Using GMP seems more versatile, but I'm afraid it might seriously slow down the interpreter compared to C++ ints.
is there a way to have gnome open in the upper right or left corner instead of the lower left corner when i start it?

I am trying to troubleshoot an application that is generating several segfaults with an error 14, but the application is not crashing.The program continues to run. I would assume I can connect to a running process to debug it, but I'm not sure what to gather. The program has several background processes associated with it so I'm sure I'll need to attach to the actual internal process. Does anyone have any experience in this to offer some insight?
