Ubuntu :: Corrupted Windows Decoration On Maximized Windows

Sep 20, 2010

I use KDE 4.5.1 on Ubuntu and every time I maximize a window the windows decoration look wrong: there are no more borders on the decoration when maximized. The windows title and the buttons have no space between them and the screen border at all. Not even one pixel.

- buttons & decoration still there
- decoration borders, corners & placeholders all gone!

This happens with every single windows decoration I choose.I use all default settings on the kwin-effects.

Ubuntu :: 'Decoration Windows' Rule Does Not Properly Update With Emerald?

Mar 25, 2011

I am using the Emerald window decorator and want to hide the titlebar of windows that are maximized. In CompizConfig is an option for choosing which windows should be decorated, and since I don't want to decorate maximized windows, I added !state=maxvert. This works well with the default GTK window decorator, but when using Emerald it fails: first it seems working, but after unmaximizing a window suddenly all windows lack decoration. It even stays that way when I readd 'any' to the line, I have to switch to the default decorator or restart gnome. Now is there any way to make this work with Emerald? I would really like to keep my current theme while hiding full-screen title bars.

Edit:

Not exactly related: I am also using Global Menu which is nice, but the window management menu (maximize, minimize, resize etc.) only works if the window list is activated too. Is there a solution or do I have to create a bug report at that project? :v

Ubuntu :: 10.04 And Firefox - Maximized Windows Cuts Off

May 9, 2010

I'm having a slight problem with firefox in ubuntu 10.04. I'm using my (lenovo ideapad y70) laptop with a VGA connected monitor (LED-LCD TV; Vizio), and for some reason when I maximize a window, the 'x' and scroll bar on the right side are cut off. I have the dual monitor situation set up with the resolutions on the recommend levels (1920*1080 and 1400*900) and I honestly have no idea what the problem is, because I've been using the exact same setup since Lucid Lynx was officially released and it worked fine.

Today I just turned it on after being gone for the weekend, and the window was like this. Doesn't quite make sense to me. The only I changed was perhaps downloaded the updates from the update manager... but I doubt that would affect anything. Oh also, another thing I should add would be that when I was gone I left the TV in my apartment and took the laptop, so perhaps switching from dual screens to single screen and back messed it up? Not sure. I would include error output, but there arent really any errors, I think its just some sort of problem with the resolution.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: VLC Freezes On Fullscreen / Maximized Windows?

Nov 1, 2010

VLC which didn't exist before (possibly due to some updates) When viewing a video file (say an .avi file so it has nothing to do with flash)in maximized windows or full screen, playback becomes very slow and sometimes freezes momentarily (with the screen turning grey) On the other hand, if I open the same file in a small screen and then strech it out to the size of a maximized windows everything is fine. I don't notice anything extraordinary in terms of cpu or memory usage (from running top in the terminal) when this happens.

This problem only happens with VLC, Banshee has no problem playing these same files in full screen. I use Compiz, disabling Compiz stops VLC from freezing but it still seems a bit sluggish in full screen. I used to be able to play videos with VLC in full screen AND with Compiz on.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04. VLC is working fine in 10.10 on the same machine.

Ubuntu :: Have Menus In The Regular Place For Non-maximized Windows?

Ubuntu :: Change Default Maximized Windows Size?

Jul 30, 2011

My laptop has a small flickering area at the bottom of the screen, about 1 cm high. It's a hardware problem.It's very annoying but I can just put a bit of dark paper over it. I would like to change the ubuntu (10.04) defaults so that the bottom of the screen is never used - I can change some windows, but is there a global way to stop all windows, menus etc from using that lower area

Software :: Remove Title Bar From Maximized Windows?

Dec 8, 2010

I wish to remove title bar from maximized windows. It's mostly empty and takes screenspace, and now there's this Panel Buttons application, allowing me to have Close, Minimize and Maximize in the panel instead.

The program Maximus does the job, but there's a bug in it, sometimes making the panel invisible when closing windows. Compiz has a function disabling Emerald in maximized windows, but it requires having the ability of activating visual effects - which my graphic card drivers won't allow. The window manager OpenBox has a similar function but it's not permanent and besides I wasn't satisfied with it for different other reasons.

how to remove the title bar? Aternatives to Maximus? Configuring Metacity or instructions how to modify a Metacity theme to remove the title bar from the maxed windows?

Ubuntu :: Get The Screen Corner Clickable To Close Maximized Windows?

Jun 22, 2010

Before I go any further let me make it perfectly clear that this post is not in regards to Shuttleworth's recent decision to move the "titlebar buttons". I honestly don't care and in fact it saves me time since I've always moved the close button to the left side and then removed the minimize and maximize buttons anyway.This problem is made even more annoying because I thought we were all done with it. I've been back and forth between distros, KDE, and GNOME since 2000. . . I would run head first into this issue often out of nowhere. . . I feel like I'm back in 2003 again.

According to Fitt's Law, corners and edges have infinite width as far as the user is concerned, one of the reasons I have loved GNOME for so long now is because of the use of corners, so imagine my surprise when I can no longer simply throw my mouse cursor up into the corner and simply CLOSE the maximized window that I'm currently using, instead it drags the window. This is obnoxious and useless. I can already grab at any other part of the top edge of the screen outside of the far corner in order to drag a window, why is this happening again? It is SO frustrating particularly since GNOME is supposed to be so damned concerned with usability.

I think this change might have something to do with that monstrosity known as gnome-shell. I guess they were figuring that with the proposed 2.30/3.0 switch over to this new window manager, they could simply do whatever they like with metacity. . . or maybe gnome-shell USES the same configurations as metacity (seems plausible), all that I know is that this truly pisses me off.It may seem trivial but it's a daily use factor for me and I have no way of changing the behavior. I just want to be able to throw my mouse in a corner and click, it never seemed that big of an issue in the past, I don't see why the developer(s) saw the need to change this.

And to forestall all those that would ask me to switch from metacity to compiz or vice-versa, it's with both and I am NOT going to use compiz's own digusting window manager themes, I like my metacity themes.My other choices are KDE, enlightenment, openbox or Xfce, Well the first two are travesties since I'm used to my GNOME applications and they don't look good in those DE's, the third looks like crap (to me) and Xfce has corner close button functionality only per theme (some themes do and some don't)

OpenSUSE :: 11.4 - New Windows Open At Wrong Maximized Size

Mar 30, 2011

OpenSUSE 11.4 / kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop / Gnome 2.32.1
Video: Intel 945G (on motherboard)
Monitor: Acer AL1716 @ 1024x768
Driver: whatever 11.4 auto-installed for the card

Having a strange video problem after recently up-ing to 11.4. When new windows open maximized, they are opening at the wrong size (slightly too small) resulting in a distorted view including 'broken' fonts (missing pixels). If I unmaximize the new window, and then re-maximize it, it now maximizes to the correct size and everything is fine.

Ubuntu :: Twinview - Previously Maximized Windows Open To Wrong Display?

Dec 15, 2010

I am currently running ubuntu 10.10

I have a panasonic 50" and a samsung 23" both of which are 1080p displays. I have twinview setup so that the samsung is my main and the panasonic plasma is my secondary. For some reason every time I open a windows of lets say mozilla and it was maximized prior to closing before, it will "jump" (briefly display on the samsung monitor for a split second and then automatically move to the plasma) from my main display to the secondary panasonic plasma. If mozilla was minimized before closing prior and I reopen it will open to the samsung in the state it was in on the prior close (aka minimized), which is fine. Only when it was maximized prior does it "jump" to my secondary display.

How can I correct this issue? I would like to have programs open (and stay) in the display they were launched in whether it is the plasma or the samsung.

Ubuntu :: Configure Indicator Applet Appmenu To Work Only On Maximized Windows

Jan 14, 2011

it was possible to make the Appmenu work only on maximized windows. Appmenu would then liberate vertical space on maximized applications without the inconvenient mouse movement for unmaximized windows. Should this configuration be done in compiz or is it an Appmenu option? I have attached two screen-shots to illustrate the effect I would like to get:(Compiz already turns window decorations off for maximized applications)

OpenSUSE :: Prevent Maximized Windows Being Dragged And Resized (kde4)

May 8, 2011

The Mrs is not so accurate with the mouse and playing kpatience etc.. she seems to click the top or bottom edge of the maximized window ( as if to drag a card ) but ends up dragging the window, which moves and re-sizes

I tried it in Gnome and my maximized windows don't drag.

So is there a solution for kde. I guess it's a feature. I had a stab around in systemsettings, but couldn't put my finder on it.

Ubuntu :: Corrupted Windows Partition Through Gparted?

Jan 8, 2010

I was resizing my windows partition and accidently turned my computer off. When I went to run a disk check from gparted I get multiple filesystem errors. Chkdsk /r when run from a recovery cd says it can't determine the size of the partition so it can't continue. Is there anyway to get my files off the corrupted partition from within linux. Right now Gparted shows that it has been resized but that it is corrupted and i can't even attempt to mount it. There are only a few files I need to get off the partition but they are really important.

Ubuntu :: Windows Corrupted, CLAMAV Does Not Work?

Oct 18, 2010

My Windows Installation is infected even with Eset installed! I don't know how to clean it. Already tried safe mode scan, but that doesn't even clean it. The only reason I installed ubuntu was so that I could download infected files without any conserns of my windows parition being infected. When ever I download a file, I move it to the NTFS partition from where windows can access it. But just about a week ago when I booted into Windows, my whole drive was infected, not only windows installed partition but also all my NTFS partition. Can anyone please tell me how can I CLEAN the files rather than qurantine all the files which CLAMAV does!

Also, what steps should I take in advance before downloading a virus infected file? I know the virus could've have gotten in when I disable eset for some software installation but it should clean after boot or after being booted.But there should be a way to clean all my NTFS partition .... how? I don't know how to used CLAMAV properly because whenever I try to scan anything, it always returns with '0 files scan' because I think the directory scan doesn't work the way it should!

Ubuntu :: Windows Corrupted NTFS External Usb Hdd - How To Recover

Nov 13, 2010

I had a perfectly working Western Digital 250GB external usb hdd about 30 minutes ago. It has about 130GB of data I spent 3 hours copying to it yesterday from my Ubuntu laptop. Just to test it, I plugged it into an older Windows XP machine, and it seemed to work just fine. Then I tried to do the "Safely Remove Hardware" thing. It told me that it could not remove the external drive because another program was accessing it. So okay, I just wait a minute or two. Try again -- same thing. Tried it several more times, waiting a minute or two between each try -- same thing. Then suddenly a message pops up -- cannot write to drive. I also get another error: drive is corrupt, run chkdsk utility. Makes no sense. I was accessing files from the drive from within Windows just fine minutes before.

So since it won't "unmount safely", I just unplug it (probably a mistake, but I didn't see that I had any other choice at the moment), then try mounting it using a LiveCD of Puppy Linux -- Puppy will not mount it, just gives an error but no details.

My Ubuntu laptop, however, is no longer usable -- after I copied the 130GB of files I wanted to save to my external hdd, I attempted an upgrade of Ubuntu. It hosed. I'm still on that Puppy Linux LiveCD right now as I type.

So then. I KNOW this external hdd should be recoverable. I didn't do anything to it except let Windows screw up its ability to be mounted/unmounted, somehow. But I do not know how to go about trying to rescue it. What are the tools I should use? Is there something I can download somewhere that I can burn to a bootable CD or something that can fix a broken NTFS drive/partition? It would almost have to be something bootable at this point since I don't know how to install anything new on Puppy. Wasn't there an "Ultimate Linux Bootable Rescue CD" or something like that a while back? I can't remember it's exact name now.

If worst comes to worst, I suppose I could always reformat the external hdd and then copy the files over to it again. I still have all my files on my laptop's hard drive and Puppy can see them -- the Ubuntu upgrade I attempted did not overwrite all my stuff. But....I would just rather avoid having to spend another 3 hours or more today doing that. All my files are already on the external....I just want to fix it so that I can see them again.

Ubuntu :: Windows Corrupted GRUB - Unable To Reinstall

Dec 26, 2010

for some reason Win7 has gone and run a startup repair (there was two boot options in GRUB, perhaps I chose the wrong one by accident) which has corrupted my GRUB. Now, the only way I can get anything to run is by booting Ubuntu of a live-pendrive/flashdrive! I tried following a couple of walkthroughs that claimed to fix the problem; and I don't doubt that they work - on someone elses computer! I receive errors whenever I try to use things like 'sudo grub' and often (but not always) with 'mkdir' and 'mount' - and I have very little idea what some of them are doing (I gather 'mkdir' is making a directory and 'mount' is mounting a device virtually, but some others are a little harder to guess)

So, I am wondering if someone has a little insight as to how I can fix this and perhaps point me in the correct direction to learning about making my way around ubuntu and these fancy terminal commands! Currently, I am at the stage where I can boot into my flash drive by spamming escape before the bootloader. However, when GRUB loads it tells me there is an error and gives me a command line; through which I have been unable to get anything to happen. I am running Ubuntu 10.10, I believe, and Windows 7 on the same hard-disk and possibly the same partition (though, I am unsure of how Ubuntu works itself into partition's). I also ran a little code (seemed somewhat like a batchfile in windows) that made a txt file of my boot info; I'm attaching it below if that helps at all. Boot Info Results:

Ubuntu :: Screen Graphics Corrupted Overlay On Top Of Other App Windows

Jun 14, 2011

Once I launch google chrome

14.0.792.0 (Developer Build 88942 Linux) Ubuntu

(problem happens across various chrome versions and firefox too)

and I visit a site with graphics, still image or ....., I get a screen overlay of the website image positioned near top left of my monitor which overlays its graphics on top of windows of other applications. Interestingly, when I kill chrome the image disappears, then reappears on re-launch of chrome. Somehow chrome is controlling the rendering of its video memory, from killed tabs, outside of its own window.

This I have seen for firefox as well. Its been happening for few months, not on every browser launch but daily nonetheless. The video corruption also prevents mouse cursor cut N paste of text on any application which happens to have its window overlayed in this manner.

I have all the latest updates

ubuntu 11.04
nvidia driver 270.41.19

screen captures of offending overlay do not show up, though I could photograph my screen if need be. Have stopped using beta chrome daily builds, now using default google chrome to verify whether symptoms disappear.

I see no apparent errors in system log or X server log

Ubuntu Installation :: Netbook Crashed / Windows XP System Files Corrupted?

Sep 1, 2011

My HP Netbook crashed. The Windows XP system files corrupted and Windows absolutely will not run. I planned on using Ubuntu to recover it, and then install Ubuntu permanently to save it in the future. Before you ask, every other utility has failed on me. UBCD included, which did nothing but provide me with errors upon errors just trying to run it.

The netbook has no CD drive.The only internet around is a wireless signal... my netbook has a broadcom wireless card that is never recognized. I'm using someone elses working laptop to connect online and get things I need, make boot devices, research for help, etc.This laptop has barely any hard drive space. Currently it has 1 gb remaining for doing anything.I have three flash memory devices:2 gb SD card. My netbook refuses to recognize it as a boot device.2 gb flash stick (that's actually an mp3 player). My netbook refuses to recognize it as a boot device.512 mb flash stick. This DOES work as a boot device.

So far my 512 mb flash stick has run Damn Small Linux and Ubuntu Minimal on my netbook. Of course, both are useless because the netbook cannot access internet, nor does either OS recognize my wireless card. This flash stick is, obviously, too small for a regular Ubuntu installation or any other Linux distribution that can help (as far as I know).

So, in order for this to work, I have to be able to do one of the following:

Install Ubuntu from a different OS, like Damn Small Linux or something small enough to boot on my 512 mb stick. Ubuntu can be put on one of the other, larger devices, maybe to be accessed for installation. No idea how to do this, let alone safely.

Install Ubuntu Minimal OFFLINE. This question was asked multiple times on these forums and none were answered. Is there a way to run minimal, and use offline sources for the install?

Get the normal Ubuntu installer under 500 mb. Its overwhelmingly frustrating that I'm just barely unable to do this. I've read of Ubuntu Customization Kit, which ended up being lots of useless files and reams of gobbldegook. I've heard Ubuntu is packed with additional, nonrequisite software which makes it so large. Why can't there be a halfway version between normal and minimal?? Not everyone has internet and not everyone has a CD drive or large USB stick! Is there a way this can be accomplished? Does this version exist?

I have limited time and resources. Before you ask, no, I cannot afford a larger USB stick. I'm pinching pennies right now and there's nowhere near here that sells them anyway.

General :: Windows 7 - HP Laptop, Corrupted Graphics, Not Booting Win System Board?

Aug 3, 2010

My friend has a HP Pavilion dv2699ea (dv2500 series - somehow *shrugs*) that has stopped working. It's a Core2Duo laptop with a Nvidia GPU. The unit is no longer under warranty. Problems first started a few days ago with the laptop showing corrupted graphics in Windows and BSOD'ing after a few minutes of use. I tried booting to an Ubuntu LiveCD which worked for a while before succuming and crashing as well. The freezing/graphics corruption/BSODing does seem somewhat heat related (CPU runs at ~95'c under load) however I believe that if it is heat related, then it's already damaged components inside.

Now the system has corrupted graphics on bootup[1], including booting Ubuntu[2], and neither operating systems will boot at all (Windows can sometimes get logged in before showing a black screen and becoming unresponsive. Ubuntu just looks like [3] after X starts). (See comment below for links.)

The fact the problem occurs both under Linux and Windows says to me this is not a driver issue. I have run Memtest which passed fine and none of this seems HDD related as I managed to get ~30GB of data off the system before it finally gave up the ghost.

She has been using it repeatedly without giving it adequate ventilation for years (i.e. on the bed, or on a pillow), so it's my opinion that the system board has probably warped over years of cooling/heating and that's causing this current problem. If that is the case, then I can buy a replacement system board and fit it myself, saving about £200 over the cost of an out-of-warranty HP repair. Of course, I don't want to make her spend £100 on a replacement part for it to be the wrong thing, hence asking for a second opinion here!

Hopefully I've covered all the bases here. I'm a former IT support guy myself, so I've tried all the dumb stuff (driver updates, examining memory dumps from BSODs [one 'unrecoverable hardware error', three relating to the graphics card], etc).

Ubuntu :: Lynx: "Install Alongside Windows" Corrupted Both Partitions

May 14, 2010

I was using Windows 7 (I know...) and decided to Give Lucid Lynx a try. Popped in the CD, and was pleasantly surprised to find an option to "install alongside windows". So I followed the installer instructions, and the system rebooted as expected. Brilliant, or so I thought. Machine POSTed and I could feel a tinge of excitement up my spine as the thought of an open source OS was about to become a reality. Except that in reality, I got a BIOS error stating that no bootable drive had been found (I didn't even change any boot settings, but checked that they were as they should be and that the CD was removed.

I used to work as a PC technician so I knew instantly that something had gone wrong - although spent some considerable time trying to prove otherwise! OK, worst case scenario has happened, a corrupted boot sector/MBR - no worries, I thought, I've got a SATA -> USB connector, I'll use that and my laptop to recover my data (freelance work). But my HDD was not recognised (even though the same method successfully showed me data from an old drive I had around). So I open up the windows MMC and head to disk drives section and to my display I see that the drive's filesystem is "RAW".

OK, so maybe windows isn't playing fair with the linux partition? Time for a clean install of Lynx on another HDD, Boot lynx, plug in the USB > STA connector with a test drive, works perfectly, so next (praying) I plugged in the corrupted drive. Nothing. Disk utility shows my corrupted drive (partition type: HPFS/NTFS) but will not allow me to do anything other than format. Definite no-no there. I have browsed the forums extensively and could not find a useful thread, The linux dream has turned into a nightmare; I love my new desktop OS (awesome work since Hardy btw), but without my data it might as well be a netbook!

Ubuntu :: Windows Licenses - Wipe The Disk, Install Lucid, And Run Windows In Virtualbox?

Sep 28, 2010

Background: I'm a 20+ year Mac user, switched four years ago to Linux.I have NO experience with Windows to speak of. Whenever I've gotten a new box, it's either been home-built or a Mac.Now I have a new Acer Aspire AS7551 laptop, and although I have not yet booted into Windows, it comes with a Windows 7 Home Premium license. I've been running it with Ubuntu 10.04 off a flash drive and everything works perfectly.

What I want to do: I want to wipe the disk, install Lucid, and run Windows in Virtualbox (for the sole purpose of watching some Netflix and learning a little bit about Windows 7). For the purpose of this question, please accept that I DO NOT want to dual boot.The problem: From what I can find, I can't use the "recovery discs" that came with my laptop to create a virtual machine. This is confusing, because it seems like I paid for a legitimate Windows license for use with this laptop.

Questions:

1. Would MS exchange my recovery discs for a regular install disc to go with my license code if I explained this to them?

2. If not, is there a source for Windows ISOs that I can safely use with my license? (I am aware that the legitimacy of that approach is questionable, but I am quite comfortable with the ethics since I paid for Windows 7, own the license, and only want to use it on the same computer.

3.If not,is there any way in heck I can use my recovery disc to create something Virtualbox can work with?

4. If not, how are all of you people getting your Windows virtual machines going??

(I have read that Acer is a major hassle to get a refund from for the "Windows tax" so I might as well be able to use it--this is MS' chance to win over a fan if only they will let me!)

Ubuntu Installation :: Windows 7 Overriden By Old Windows XP Entry - After Reinstall Grub

Oct 7, 2010

I am actually facing a vague problem here. I was previously running Windows XP and Ubuntu . Ubuntu was installed Windows XP The problem is

1. First I tried to do some disk partitioning. That ended up with some error.

2. Ignoring that, I went to install Windows 7 over Windows XP but I was not able to proceed with Windows 7 , because the partitions were corrupted.

3. So I used Ubuntu LIVE CD (Grub was lost at this point )and used 'testdisk' and recovered the partitions.

4. Now installed the Windows 7 successfully.

5. Now again I moved to Ubuntu Live CD to write the GRUB. After which I tried restarting

6. Now Ubuntu is booting perfectly as before. But the problem is with Windows

7. The GRUB loader instead of showing Windows 7, it shows Windows XP !!! . and there is no other entry for windows. When I tried opening it, it says "error, cant read file" and further inout moves back to the grub loader list again.

"How do I change the entry to Windows 7 from Windows XP and boot Windows7 successfully " I tried it a couple of times, same thing happens . So how to change the entry?
