Ubuntu :: Change Position For The Notifications?
May 2, 2010
How can I change the positions for the notifications? It is at a weired place after installing 10.4 and I need to move it. I have been googling about it and it seems like the position is hard coded in the source code, can this really be true? If it is, I am starting to question my decision to use Ubuntu. How can i serous skilled developer hard code something like that in the source code? Can I trust the developer to know what he is doing?

I have a dual monitor setup using TwinView running an up-to-date Ubuntu 11.04 amd64. The GDM (login) greeter is displayed in the center of the screen, and thus, one half of the greeter is on the left monitor and the other half is on the right monitor. I've been trying to find away to move the greeter to only one monitor. I've searched Google and the forums for an answer.
Here's what I've tried:
1) gmdsetup => does not have an option to position the greeter
2) gconf-editor => does not have an option to position the greeter
3) ubuntu-tweak => does not have an option to position the greeter
4) Tried these settings in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf, /etc/gdm/gdm.conf,
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf:
Code:
[greeter]
SetPosition=true
PositionX=200
PositionY=300
5) Mucked around with
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/gdm-simple-greeter.schemas ,
/usr/share/gdm/gdm-greeter-login-window.ui,
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.conffiles

I noticed that by default most of my programs start with their window on the top left (at least with my configuration) and I'd like them to start at the middle of my screen.Here's an example. I open (for the first time after logging in) System monitor, and it appears there:URL]How can I do this? I would also like them (the windows) to remember where I've placed them the last time I've used, for example, I want pidgin to start on the right and at the bottom, chrome in the middle, nautilus a bit at the top right, ... how can I do thisDIT: Ok, in Compiz there's an option to put it on the middle, with a 'smart' position, ... but nothing to remember the last position and size!

Since I have my mp3s on a windows directory (C:UsersmagodiafanoMusic) I used to create a link in order to have a direct access to this directory from the ubuntu's desktop. The problem is that everytime I log into the pc, the link does not work anymore as if the position of the directory was changed. So I have a lot of problems with the library of rhythmbox too. What is my error?

Does anybody know how I can change the way the icons in my panel react when they need attention? For example if I get an IM, how can I adjust the way the IM box in the task bar acts? I put a new theme in I really like, but my IMs and other windows that would normally flash to show they need attention now do nothing, so I don't know when I get an IM or anything. Is there any way I can tweak that?

I am using ubuntu. I have Cairo clock on my startup list, but after logging in cairo-clock appears on left top corner, but as it is the position reserved for computer, my home, mounted volumes etc. So I want to change default position of cairo-clock to left but there is no such option in the preferences of cairo-clock. My cairo-clock version is cairo-clock 0.3.4. Can I edit any config file of cairo-clock.

I'd like to make Gnome Terminal always start using this command line: gnome-terminal --geometry=92x49+0+0 However, when I right-click the icon either in Start Menu Favorites or in Application Browser, there is no 'Properties' option where I can configure this. Nor does there appear to be any option in Gnome Terminal Profile Preferences (other than to run something other than the shell when starting Terminal). Anyone know how make this modification so Gnome Terminal will always start in the same size and position?

I've been wondering about how I can change settings on the notifications that show on the screen when a wireless connection is established, when I get new mail, etc. They look a lot like growl notifications from OSX, but clicking on them doesn't show me anything. If someone could explain a little about what they are/do

in unity, I would like to change the position of the "system settings" entry in the menu list: from the last entry, as it is now, to the top one, before the "lock scree" option.

In 10.04 on a Shuttle the screen position is a few pixels off. I fix this with xvidtune for the session. I also get a new modeline. I build a new xorg.conf file (go virtual terminal, stop gdm, Xorg -configure, etc) and move it to /etc/X11. I introduce the modeline in the monitor section and reboot (I could do a service gdm stop...). Guess what, my screen is still a few pixels off. The documentation clearly states that if there is an Xorg.conf, it will be used. So what gives?
This problem has existed since the xorg.conf file was dropped. It is just plain silly that one has to engage in a geeky treasure hunt to correct a few pixels. This adjustment should be present in the System/Preferences/Montors. This is why Linux does not make it with ordinary users, making (superficially) simple things difficult.

I recently upgraded from Kubuntu 9.10 to 10.04, and I've noticed that all my KDE notifications now appear at the top of the screen, in the middle. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there an easy way to fix it?

Is there a way to log the notifications that show up in the desktop? For example:
a)When pidgin notifies you that you have a new message can you "save" that notification?
b)When transmission informs you that a torrent finished downloading can you log that notification?
Or if you can't log them can you make a script that "catches" those notifications? What I want to do is that when a certain notification pops it triggers an app or a script. So if I can log the notifications I can "watch" for changes in the log file and trigger something; or if can "catch" the notification I could also do that. I think it can, somehow, be done with d-bus but I can't find my way around the documentation.

I removed the bottom panel and killed gnome-panel process. After that the icons are shown in random order on the panel. The clock is sometimes in the middle, sometimes at the end. This is very annoying I locked it to the panel, but it keeps moving randomly after restart. And I can't move it after the panel is loaded.

Is there a way to arrange icons from terminal? Was thinking to make a bash scripts as sometimes(quite seldom) my icons just rearrange on their own and it's damn annoying having to drag them to the place they were.

For the last year I was using the version of Firefox that came with 32-bit Karmic Koala. Recently I installed 64-bit Maverick. Meerkat, so I'm now using Firefox 3.6.10. Previously, when first opening Firefox, the window aligned to the left edge of the screen. Now it is centered. The window dimensions are correctly retained between sessions, but not the position. Can I get it to open at the left again?

I use pidgin for IRC regularly and am wondering if there is a way for it to show notifications when others talk?
I have "others talk in chat" selected for the sound notifications, but I'd really like it to use the visual notifications (the notification applet?), like it does when I'm chatting with someone over IM. Is that possible?
I'm running standard ubuntu 9.10

I can't figure out for my life how to turn off notifications in Pidgin Internet Messenger. I have looked all over in the Preferences menu for a way but can't find anything. It is killing me because every time someone logs in to Facebook or MSN or whatever, I get this popup at the top-right corner of my screen.

When something comes in that gets sent straight to my junk mail folder, a notification STILL pops up... Also of note, I would like to stop notifications for my RSS feeds... I love my RSS feeds but this is ridiculous.

When I receive an instant message from someone and I click on the mail icon and click on their message to open it, their message is multiplied. For instance, if someone says:"Hey, what's up?"
And I click on their message to open it in the messaging menu, this is what will appear: "Hey, what's up? Hey, what's up?"...Take a look at the screenshot to see this in action. This happens in Empathy on Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit.

I've noticed when someone calls attention to my name in xchat or if I get an instant message, I don't get a notification about it unless I happen to go into the dash. Then I see someone highlighted my name or instant messaged me. Is anybody else having this?
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the Gnome 3 PPA.
