Ubuntu :: Colours On Desktop Popup Notifications / Solve This?
Mar 3, 2011
When you hover your cursor over in icon often you get some info about it.
Now I have the problem that this info is unreadable in all the KDE apps I use and in Skype. (see the sceenshot I attached to see what I mean)
I uses Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome the radiance theme.
When switch to another theme and then immediately switch back to radiance the colours are good but after a reboot I get back the unreadable colours.
What can I do to solve this problem?

the pop-up notifications that usually appear on the top-right of the screen when I increase/decrease the volume via media keys on my laptop (among other notifications) are gone.
Is there a way I can restore those?

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.

Is there some kind of Ubuntu desktop application that notifies you when your WAN ip address has changed? I don't care about my LAN ip address. I need some kind of popup on the desktop when my ISP assigns the next dynamic WAN ip address.

For the past few days, my Ubuntu server (it is a desktop that functions as a server, Desktop installed) have been very slow.
Today, it stopped responding to ping, I could not SSH into it (once, I managed to come so far that it asked for my password, but I got timed out) and I could not connect via VNC.
I switched it off, to boot it up again. Post completed, and the screen went black, before the white text "Read Error" appeared on the screen.
I shut it down again, waited a minute or so, before switching it back on. This time, the "read error" did not show up. The "text only" startup for Ubuntu showed up, so I hoped it was all okay. It turned out it wasnt.
I have some pictures:

The top lines are code...
Any ideas on what could be the issue here, and how to fix it?

I didn't post this thread in the hardware section because I got my ATI propitiatory drivers installed successfully and my problem seems to be with KDE. I'm trying to enable Desktop Effects for KDE.
The story is that ATI drivers installed correctly but when I go to "Application Launcher" => "System Settings" => "Desktop Effects" I can't enable Desktop effects and it has the following message:
"Desktop effects are not available on this system due to the following technical issues:
Required X extensions (XComposite and XDamage) are not available."
First of all I don't really know what this means. I have done some Googling around and have found a few places suggesting that I should enable the "Damage" and "Composite" extensions in my xorg.conf. I have done that, as you can see in the attached Xorg.conf file. It still doesn't work.

Normally, I use Opera and never have these problems, but in FireFox and Epiphany, I cannot see most of the text unless I select it.
Here is an example:

I tried plying around with Preferences/Appearances but everything seems to be ok there. Also, if in FireFox I choose 'Use System colours' everything looks ghastly.

I would like to ask how to change the colours on the screen. I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10 (04?) I think ... well that is what it said on the download page, so I guess it must be But it is terribly dull! All black, is there any way to make it a litte less boring, please. I am not a Goth and my computer would not be black were it not for the fact that I haven't gotten around to spraying it blue. Or green. Well, that is actually part of the problem. So many to choose from.Anyway - I looked in the system and the administration but there was no manner to do this.

I use Ubuntu Karmic 9.10, been trying to change the font colour with regards to time/date, and the 'Applications, Places and System' buttons, along with the wireless network, battery life, volume control and the indicator applet. I have it as 100% transparent because I prefer that look and feel about it, but I can't find the controls to change the colour of the text etc on the pannel..

Just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. The upgrade took hours and in the end wasn't able to take across my existing applications. Fair enough, I don't mind too much.However, although everything works fine, i'm left with a bit of an odd colour situation on the top panel of Unity. The application title/menu bar, along with the clock on the top panel, is set to a text colour of black - which is pretty illegible on the dark background.
There doesnt seem to be any obvious settings anywhere for this - the normal Appearance settings do not affect this (set to the default "New Wave"), and i cannot find any other relevant settings in the GUI.

In other Fedora machines I've had I get some default colours at the terminal for showing thinks like links/directories/broken links etc.On this machine, FC12 64bit, I don't seem to have anything set. I've seen a number of articles explaining how to customise the terminal but I'm quite happy to accept a default set.Any idea how to reset the terminal so it uses a default theme of some sort?

I have been having problems recently due to the changes to the Display configuration between various Fedora versions. They used to have the "system-config-display" application which only real fault was that it was not terribly good at setting up multiple monitors. Now they have "gnome-display-properties", which is better for dual or triple head, but worse for everything else and has been given me mostly pain since the switch.
At any rate, "system-config-display" had the option of changing the display to only have 16 bit colours, which I need for certain older games or games made with old engines. This option is not available from "gnome-display-properties". Is there a nice desktop environment or distribution agnostic command that one can put into a terminal to change the display between 16-bit and 32 bit colours?

Anyone know what the 'ls' command means when it outputs the file name in red on black, with the permissions, owner, etc. all missing? The 'man' page was of no help. In the example below, from a DVD ROM, the third file was OK and I could read it. The first two could not be read, even as root.
?--------- ? ? ? ? /media/dvdrom/DVD_RTAV/VR_MANGR.BUP

As you can see, in the virtual machine, the colours work fine. In Linux, I think I'm on an acid trip.

Green on black = general shell
red on black = shelling in as root to a server
gold on black = media, irc

I searched the menu-bar of gedit, i searched the web, i searched the help of gedit.(try a search on "change background to black for gedit" and similar and you know what i have gone through).If i use the embedded terminal in gedit (the only reason i use gedit at all) its background color is set to white.I barely can read it and it is useless.This is not a gnome-installation. Perhaps i miss a package needed ?
