Ubuntu :: Can't Hide Launcher - Ccsm ?
May 10, 2011
So I can't seem to get my launcher to work right after a fresh install of ubuntu 11.04. No matter what I do, I can't get my launcher to hide. I went into ccsm, and under ubuntu unity plugin I tried all four options under the hide launcher menu (never, autohide, dodge windows, dodge active windows) - nothing gets it to hide! The launcher covers up a good chunk of whatever window is open (i.e. a website, or more importantly, the back and forward buttons in chrome). In unity 2D, I don't have this problem. I also saw that when I enabled and disabled the unity plugin, I got this error when I re-enabled.I tried resolving the conflicts favoring the unity plugin, and when that didn't work, the desktop wall.

I've just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and have come across a strange bug, where after using Ubuntu for a while, the launcher suddenly appears and will not hide. This occurs when my mouse is no where near the launcher. I have a duel screen display.
This is very annoying as the launcher appears above the windows I am working on as shown in the screenshot:

I have tried changing the launcher hide options in ccsm but it doesn't seem to make any difference. At the moment it is set to autohide.

In Unity is there a way to have the launcher hidden at all times and only pop-up(out?)when you press the super key? It's just annoying when it keeps popping up if i accidently hit the top corner whilst moving back and forth from web pages?

I love this unity launcher panel on the left. but i think it's taking too much valuable space on my small screen so i set up a super small app dock with everything i use but i can't seem to completely hide this unity launcher the only options i find in CCSM are "always show" "autohide" and two other things i can't seem to understand; anw i haven't found a "Always hide". is there a way to do that ?

I have been unable to set the launcher on the left of the screen to auto-hide. With only 1024 px wide, the launcher takes in space, which I would like to reclaim when using apps full screen

1st, I got the OS install. I just want to hide some program launcher from menu bar. In the old Gnome, it work this way, I put the mouse on the menu bar, and then right click, choose preference then I can hide everything I wanna hide. But I can not do that on F12 any more, I tired to refer to Gnome instruction manual on Gnome web site. It seems like they did not change anything on Gnome 2.28. Since the instruction remain the same.
2nd I also want to ask, how do I change the default interface language setting in F12? In previous version I just need to do that in SYSTEM-->Preference. But I can not see the option any more either.
3rd I can not install the NVIDIA proprietary driver even though I got GCC and kernel development header in place. The install log said:" The binary file is not for the kernel" Well, I just use the regular i686 kerenl as usual. It does not make sense it will not work.
I got the driver running by using the rpmfusion driver, not the one from Nvida
By the way, The nouveau driver in F12 works far from OK on my GO 7300. It just like a slave driver that whip the GPU at full out all the time, let alone it does not have 3D capability.
The live cd does not include GCC and kernel development header. That made me feel like walking on the moon but forgot to put the gravity suite on.

The Compiz Setting page for Unity will not let me set the launcher to autohide or other hiding option, and the Experimental page will not let me reduce the icon size. The lack of hiding is another as the left edge of windows can disappear under the the Launcher.

I can't hide the launcher in unity 3D. In 2D, it works fine, hides when i open a program, looks normal, everything. In 3D, it stays on top of whatever program I'm running. What I've tried Reinstalled unity 2D. (apt-get remove, apt-get install) For whatever reason, when I log into 3D without 2D installed, it looks like gnome, but the screen is garbled, the images disappear, menus come up as plain black squares, i literally can't even open a program. Once I install unity 2D, 3D works fine, but I can't hide the launcher. Messed around with CCSM. I tried each option under hide launcher in unity plugin (never, autohide, dodge windows, dodge active windows). None of them change anything. Updated everything through update manager (last night actually). Both 2D & 3D look and work fine, no lag or sluggish behavior. All of the effects look normal. I just can't get rid of the big launcher covering up everything I do! I've just been using 2D, although I would like to use 3D.

I recently upgraded to 11.04 and I've been tweaking Unity to get the desktop just the way I like it. I've come across two minor problems though:
1. When I tweak the icon size settings in the Unity tab of CCSM, the icons do not change size; they remain at the default "48" setting regardless of what I type in.
2. When I set the Unity launcher to auto-hide (also in the Unity tab of CCSM), it stays at the default "dodge windows" setting.
Are there any workarounds to change these settings when tweaking them in CCSM's interface does not work? (Or is there some trick I don't know to get CCSM to work properly?)

I've upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 some weeks ago and after some minor tweaking everything has been working fine. But all of a sudden, it seems after some package upgrades, I'm experiencing strange behavior: The first thing I noticed is that after reboot the default application that should be kept in the Unity Launcher have all disappeared. The unity launcher doesn't hide itself anymore. The unity launcher does not react to changes I make via the 'System Settings'->'compizConfig settings manager'->'Ubuntu unity plugin' menu (icon sizes in launcher, hiding method, etc.). Even after logout/login or reboot the changes aren't applied, although the corresponding settings in the configuration menus remain changed.
One application that used to work as a charm started giving the following error on startup: The program 'VESTA' received an X Window System error. This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'. (Details: serial 489 error_code 3 request_code 138 minor_code 4) Since yesterday everything was still working properly and today I get this strange behavior, it seems that something must have changed in between. The only changes on the system in the last 24 hours are the upgrades of the following packages:

Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

For some reason the general launcher button (+ in circle) in the unity menu has disappeared. I do not know how to restore it. Which means I have great problems to start al apps that are not standard in the menu.

Just bought a new computer and installed Lucid 64 bit. On my old PC, I had Lucid 32 bit. There I installed Grid using the instructions on this page: [URL]... But now, on the new computer, i cannot do it. I get the error:
Code:
rumtscho@bradbury:~/tmp/grid$ git-checkout 1281082ba678033e515a19419ca8ffe8641d744b.git-checkout: command not found. I did install everything mentioned in the instruction, including git-core. The git-clone row worked without errors. So why cannot I finish the installation?
I don't care if I get Grid from the git repository or from some other source (I don't understand why it is missing from ccsm in the first place, it got installed automatically under 9.10),

I tried using ccsm to get the cube desktop working on ubuntu 10.04. After reading through many of the forums here on how to get the cube working I still could not find an answer for 10.04. Changed my settings with gconf-editor to disable Nautilus show desktop and a few other recommended setting and nothing worked. Also, for some reason, ccsm did not have the Wallpaper option (its supposed to be under utility), and I think it was necessary for the cube in some way.

a) what does the green check mark do in simple-ccsm? It seems to undo all the settings changes I have made. And what is the "Advanced" Profile?
b) say i want to tweak something that simple-ccsm can't do. Slow down the animations so I can actually see them, enable or change edge snapping , et cetera. Does changing settings in this one disable my profile in simple? I seem to wreck everything whenever i try to work with ccsm but simple is just too simple--I'm not even looking for eye candy so much as functionality. b.0.1: can i do half screen snapping on the side like vista does?

Yesterday, I installed a new theme for my laptop (Ubuntu 11.04(32-bit)) and soon after, I noticed that the animations I set up were not showing up anymore. Before the installation, everything worked fine. The theme is called MacBuntu 11.04. (Not the original one)

Just got my 11.04 and tried to use some settings in Compiz. I`ve made these steps: Install the CompizConfig Settings Manager (ccsm) application from the Software Center. If you need assistance with installing the application, consult the software installation help, or review the Ubuntu Software Center Manual.
After you have installed the program, click the power icon at the very right of the panel and select System Settings. In the Personal section, click CompizConfig Settings Manager. In the Desktop section of the CompizConfig Settings Manager, click Ubuntu Unity Plugin, and select the Experimental tab.
I`ve clicked on the left side there was something like "enable plugin" or sort of. And my launcher, and the pane on the top dissapeared! I got nothing. Just the screen. Nothing is workin. What the f>..?

How do you access preferences for changing size of the launcher bar or icon size, etc? I looked through system settings and could not find it.

Since i've touched the "set back to defaults" (or the like) in compiz configuration manager (CCSM), unity does not appear after logging in. I'm stuck with a complete blank screen, with my wallpaper and an mouse pointer. I have attempted the following:
- restore unity by the steps in askubuntu.com: unity --reset
- reinstalled unity packages
- created another account, to see if the user configuration was the problem
Another hint:
- Ubuntu classic with effects shows my screens outside of the viewport and i'm unable to use them
- Ubuntu classic without effects operates properly
Environment: HP Compaq 8710p, Nvidia Quadra 320M, Natty 64bit updated to 4 may 2011, Unity 3d

I understand this kind of defeats the purpose of the NBR setup, but i have 4 workspaces and I want to have 3 different apps open in 3 of them, and the NBR startup in workspace 1.
so is there a way to disable this interface in specific workstations or no?

Running The GNOME Panel 2.30.0, and since I'm using Avant Window Navigator, I'd like to hide the last panel.
I want to keep the shortcuts (like alt+f1, f2, etc...) so killing it isn't what I need.
I've been looking around but I always end up getting a 1px panel on top. Anyone has any suggestions for this?
