Ubuntu :: Application Menu Will Highlight But Not Open?

Apr 9, 2011

I noticed a few minutes ago that although I can open the Places and System menus fine, when I click on Applications it highlights but no drop down menu appears beneath it as usual, and when I right click and select Edit Menus also nothing happens.

I have since restarted which did not resolve the issue.

How can I remedy this, and what could have caused the problem to begin with?

Ubuntu :: Right Mouse Click Freeze / When Right Mouse Button To Open Options Menu It Freezes And Does Not Open Menu?

Oct 14, 2010

just want to report "Right Mouse Click Freeze" on Ubuntu 10.10. When I click on anything with my right mouse button to open options menu it freezes and does not open menu. Sometimes when I shake my mouse left/right a bit it opens that menu, but this does not work always. It seems like xserver issue, but I'm not sure since I'm not expert in linux yet. It's very annoying issue that I would like to resolve asap.

My System Specs:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Western Digital 250 GB Hard Drive
Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit (Kernel Linux 2.6.35-22)
(Used Desktop Install CD)

Ubuntu :: Highlight Disk Icons When Mounted (in "Places" Menu, "Computer" Folder, ...)?

Nov 6, 2010

there was once with an older Ubuntu version (Gnome 2.24.1) this beautiful behaviour to highlight the icons of internal and external drives when they are mounted. Unmounted the icons were just silver-grey and when mounted they turned white.Strangely however, I don't see this with Lucid Lynx and Gnome 2.30.2! What is wrong here?

Fedora :: Icons Of "default Application" / Get Predefined Application Icon To Open Same File Types?

Jan 7, 2011

I would like to get the predefined application icon to open the same file types.

for instance: *.avi, *.mp3 to have the VLC icon

and other application to have the icon of their default application.

So far I only found tips to install single icons or to add icon packs. :S

and is there any way to when you install an application make it default for such file types ?

Ubuntu :: Add Shortcuts To Application Menu?

May 7, 2011

I upgraded to 11.04. A app called Pytrainer did not work when downloaded through Ubuntu Software Center. So I downloaded the latest version from their website. It works! However, it did not add a shortcut to the applications menu. Instead, I copied the executable file to the desktop, which is more convenient. But I'd also like it in my applications menu.

How can I do that?

Ubuntu :: Add A Launcher In Application Menu

Sep 18, 2010

I got a problem trying to add a luncher in my application menu. I installed netgen and it works fine. If I try to launch it from the terminal like "$ netgen", it does work. It also works if I double click on the program icon in its folder. But when I try to make a launcher in the menu, it doesn't. I tried both Application (nothing happens) and Application in Terminal (I see a window flash for a second and then it disappears).

Ubuntu :: Global Menu Bar Application Names

Oct 2, 2010

I'm really liking the global-menu bar that I recently installed, except for one thing:
The application name on lots of programs shows up non capitalized or in the picture above the name of Google Chrome shows up as 'google-chrome'. Being the extremely organized person I am (verging on OCD), this bugs me. A lot. Is there any way to change it?

Ubuntu :: Broken GUI In Application When Started From The Menu?

Nov 14, 2010

I have problem regarding when a application is started from the menu-line. If I for example start wxmaxima though Menu -> Science -> Wxmaxima, then the menu-bar is gone. I can access the menu-bar by pressing F10, but the menubar never shows up!

I have the same experience with emacs 23, where the menu-bar starts as it should, but whenever I change major (or minor) mode, the new menu-item appears, but I cannot access the menu-item (it is just blank). As before, whenever I go though F10 the menuitem shows up as it should.

Same goes for eclipse.

Instead of starting the applications though the Menu -> ..., I tried to start them in the terminal instead. Then the applications do not suffer from this menubar behaviour.

Ubuntu :: Menu Bar And Application Launcher Disappear?

Apr 16, 2011

I am running 11.04.

My application launcher on the left side and the main menu bar at the top of the screen have disappeared. When I boot up, all I see is my desktop background and "Computer" icon.

I was messing around with the compiz settings and enabled and then disabled the cube effects. When I did so I disabled some plugins but can't remember which ones.

Ubuntu :: Application Bar Menu Items Missing?

May 12, 2011

My application bars are all missing their menu bars. They were showing up (along with the application title) on the top panel but I ran 'nohup gnome-panel' to at least make my system partially usable (i.e. this restores the top panel and the bottom 'bar' that has the running application icons and it also restored my close/minimize/maximize buttons to my windows).

Ubuntu :: KDE And GNOME Mixed Application Menu - How To Get Each One Seperate

Sep 6, 2010

I have installed KDE from the Ubuntu Software Center. Now I have the following... well, I wont call them problems, rather just annoyances.

1. The mouse pointer is KDE's pointer (I presume) in both interfaces.
2. I have mixed applications in the menus of both GNOME and KDE... GNOME has KDE's stuff and KDE has GNOME's stuff.
3. The Ubuntu screen at shutdown turned to Kubuntu regardless of being in GNOME.

The first and last one is not much of a problem for me, but is there a way of restoring each interface's default menu items? Since I know what I manually installed, I can just enable them again in Main Menu of Administration in GNOME and in KDE wherever that setting will be. If not, can someone maybe just give me a menu list in text or pics (ok, I know this might be asking a lot) so I can at least only have GNOME stuff in GNOME and KDE in KDE.

Fedora :: Put New Application Under Applications->Programming Menu

Feb 4, 2011

I just installed GNAT GPS and would like it to display under Applications->Programming drop down menu. How does one do this? I have read about creating a .desktop file but tried that and it still does not appear under the menu I like. It does appear on the desktop but not because of the .desktop file.

OS: fedora 14 63-bit
CPU: CPU AMD-64

An example file (if needed) would be nice.

Also, just as a extra, has anyone found the GNAT GPS icon (.png) file?
