I have Kubuntu running as a virtual machine, with Ubuntu 10.10 as the host. When I maximize it, it only takes up a small part of the screen. This is really annoying, especially when looking at large programs that are too wide.
View 3 RepliesI just got Kubuntu 10.10 as a virtual machine with VMware player, with Ubuntu as the host. I've seen some really cool graphics effects with KDE. How can I get these on my virtual machine? Do I need to download a graphic package or something?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am running Kubuntu 10.04 with KDE 4.2.2. I have a problem with "BackingStore", which does not preserve the contents of a window created by another program (actually PAW, producing a histogram). I have created a small xorg.conf, just containing this code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "VMware SVGA"
Driver "vmware"
Option "BackingStore" "true"
EndSection
The contents of the created window is indeed preserved when putting other widows over it and removing them again. This was not the case without the xorg.conf above. Without this file the content covered by another window is not redrawn after shifting the obscuring window.
However, the content is cleared when I switch to different virtual screen and then coming back to the original one. So Backingstore is not working between virtual windows.
In my old 8.04 installation (with KDE 3) everything was fine with the backingstore: Switching between virtual windows did not clear the contents!

Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?
I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to maximize across both of my screens. I am currently running twinview with lucid lynx. The previous build of Ubuntu let me maximize across both of my screens, but now when I maximize i just goes to one screen.
I tried doing a google search to see if I can figure it out and to my surprise the only thing I could find is people complaining because the maximize would go to both screens and not one.
After updating recently, I can't maximize windows properly. There is a gap on the left and top of the window. Any ideas how to fix this?
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust upgraded to 11.04 and this drives me nuts. When an app/window is opened, if it is "sufficiently" large, it maximizes. I use eclipse. Eclipse is a screen-space hog, however I still need to be able to see other windows and the application bar around the edge of the eclipse window. Unfortunatly Unity(?) is fighting me on this set up because every time i relaunch eclipse, it becomes maximized even if I, the user, have explicitly un-maximized it.
How can I disable this auto-maximize behavior.
Just upgraded from maverick to natty

I just upgraded from ubuntu 10 to 11.04, first thing i did was remove unity since i hate it, so i went on login settings ans set Ubuntu classical, this made me start on gnome and not unity, but now gnome has a problem i can just explain with a screen so here it isAs you see when i maximize chrome or even firefox and other apps it does this, i didn't have this problem before, also when i maximize it is impossible to use the mouse, because for the mouse is like that transparent bar is not there, so when i want to click on something i have to click above it, not on it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I click the Firefox icon, normally I can maximize and minimize in the window (either top or bottom panel). This has disappeared and I am not sure why. I had installed [URL... and suddenly after deleting/cleaning it up/restoring panels I cannot see why or how I can easily maximize or minimize any panel, not just Firefox.
View 4 Replies View RelatedSometimes when firefox is open, clicking the firefox icon on the taskbar to maximize firefox rotates my desktop to the next one over. Super annoying, as I have to go and rotate back. Is there a fix to this problem? I think it has something to do with a pop-up that never gets attention when it needs it. Unfortunately, I don't know a good way to reproduce this problem on command yet.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been missing this feature from windows, and had thought I would just have to do without, but today, people have alluded that it is possible to do with compiz. I am referring to the ability to take a window, drag it to the edge of the screen and it to then fill up that side of the screen.. or if drug to the top, maximize itself. I have looked and messed with settings, and have been able to do something to the effect of dragging my mouse to the edge of the screen will kind of tile windows, but it does it to all my windows or all of a certain type and whatnot.
And I want to do it to a specific window, and then another - for the side by side viewing. it also does not vertically maximize it, only taking a portion of the screen from top to bottom. I have been able to do it this way by having only 2 windows open and using a keyboard to do so, but i would like to be able to use only my mouse. Is there a way to drag one window the the edge of the screen and have it maximize to that half-side of the screen AND/OR drag to the top and have it maximize to fullscreen?
Using Ubuntu 10.10.Recently updated to kernel 2.6.38.Strange problem.. all windows display fine when they are not minimized. But as soon as I minimize ANY window, all the contents are wiped out. All I get is a title bar with white window. This happens with every window e.g. browser, games, system windows, text pad etc.I am using Nvidia drivers. Could that be the problem?

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter I completed the upgrade to Lucid, my maximize, minimize, and close buttons disappeared. I looked around on the forums and i didn't see any other posts about this problem. I'm sorry if i might have over looked one though. Anyways, the buttons are not on the left or the right, they just don't show up. I tried messing with the theme settings and I also tried some of the things that were recommended on the main sticky about bugs with Lucid, and i still don't have them. Dose anyone know how to fix this or will it fix itself with updates?
