Ubuntu :: Difference Between "(XYZ)buntu" <-> "ubuntu Server - Window Management"?
Oct 29, 2010
If there is a difference between the following installations:
Ubuntu <-> Ubuntu server + gnome
Kubuntu <-> Ubuntu server + KDE
And so on
I don't mean the difference for each and any distri but the difference in general: (XYZ)buntu and ubuntu server + window management.
The reason I'm asking is because I really like Ubuntu and I really like Openbox. But since im running into many troubles using Lubuntu (PLUS theres way too many apps preinstalled for my taste) I'd like to try a Ubuntu server installation + Openbox.

My desktop is running 'buntu 9.10 and I have recently aquired a couple of half decent servers running Windows server 2003. I have a few windows app's that I use regularly for work that I have had limited success in running with wine or in vm's. I stumbled upon a how to to call apps in a vm to run seamlessly on the host desktop and did some playing and have succeeded in calling app's on my servers from my 'buntu desktop, the command I have set in my launcher for one of them (DIALux)
My question is, can I change the default application/file association in 'buntu with a custom command so I can double click on a file and have it open in one of these remote app's??If I can, what is the correct custom command to be using as using the above doesn't work at all, it just tries to open the file with rdesktop not the remote app.

I usually have many windows open when I use Ubuntu, and I find it tedious to manage them with the mouse. Is it possible to configure the Windows key so I can call specific, open windows to the screen? Suppose I have Nautilus and a terminal open for example, and suppose Nautilus is "first" (that is: to the far left) on the window bar in the bottom of the screen, and that the terminal is to the right of it. Can I then configure the Windows key so that if I press [WINDOW]+[1], I call the first window to the front (Nautilus), and if I press [WINDOW]+[2] I call the terminal window to the front? It would be very neat if I could do this somehow or in a another intuitive way.

I'm not sure about anybody else, but I have spent many hours today trying to figure out how to get Compiz as a window manager. Alas, I have tasted success. Once compiz and Emerald are both installed, simply go to Code:Configure Desktop > Default Applications > Window Management and then select from the drop down menu.Now those beautiful emerald themes will work. I have seen many other 'solutions' for KDE4 and they may have worked for some, but not for me. I hope this will help somebody who may be as frustrated as I was.

since yesterday when I open up an explorer style window, say I browsed folders in Gnome for each folder it opens a new window. However; when I go to change it so it does it in the same window either through edit properties or system/preferences/file management it does not open and instead a bugzilla window opens as it crashes (taking my desktop with it until it refreshes)

I wanted to migrate from ubuntu karmic to the latest ubuntu 10.10, but i already have a lots of data on my hard disk in home directory. i was thinking if it is possible to transfer all the data to one directory and make a separate partition of it , so tht when i install a fresh copy of ubuntu 10.10 on my system i need not format this new partition ,which contains al my data.is it possible tht this new partition will automatically get mounted on the new system without the need to execute commands from terminal every time i start my system. if there is any other alternative way for solving this problem i would follow tht too.the reason for my migration is that karmic is really troubling me a lot and so many applications including my sound device have failed to work and i am not able to rectify them..

I'm attempting to add an additional partition through KDE's Partition Manager, but my RAID 0 is not recognized by that program. I'm wondering what partition utility is used during *buntu installation, as this properly recognized my RAID 0, and I was able to successfully manipulate the partitioning scheme.

I setup a file server using Ubuntu Server edition following the guid by Xam @ [URL]. With only a few exceptions to minor tweaks the guide worked perfectly. The difference is I use a USB terabyte for data storage but that's not an issue. It works FANTASTIC right now. I can manage files from any computer in the house (vista xp linuxmint, ubuntu etc).
The USB is mounted as /dev/sdb1 /media/store ntfs 0 0 in my fstab file. It's sharing the root directory of the disk and users have access to the entire thing. Now that it's all working, I want to know if anyone knows a way I can not let the entire disk be shared but only select folders off the root for example /media/store/Music or /media/store/Videos.

i started to look into upgrading my LTS ubuntu server instances to Lucid. one the notable things that i have discovered is the lack of support for Webmin; it seems that Debian is no longer supporting packages required by Webmin. But it also appears that ubuntu team believes that Webmin may actually cause problems as it works in a different way than that presumed by Ubuntu. so i am now left with no way to manage my 10+ instances of ubuntu server that i used for studying and research. it seems that i am left with cluster-ssh as an alternative. but are there other alternatives, ideally similar to webmin?

some weeks ago I've installed ubuntu 10.04 beta desktop, in that version the module sg was present using modprobe (the sg.ko file was not present). I need the sg module because of some scsi driver that require it.
Today I've installed the 10.04 server and modprobe sg returns a not found. I would like to install it or make it visible as in the beta version.

I wanted to implement a server for a small network, but am a bit in-experienced. The server that I want to use should be able to do load-balancing (two connections) and also act as firewall/proxy. And also it should be able to do some bandwidth management. The network that its going to serve has two parts. One part of the network should be served, say during day time,and the other during night time. The one that is going to be served at night-time should not have access to internet during day-time, but should have access to, say local mirror-server. I am a bit confused what software/hardware to use. I am planing to use EndianFirewall, but since I don't have experience, don't know if it can do all that I need (?).

I don't like the fact that, when the dock is hidden because I am using other windows such as opera, it appears again when, with the mouse's icon, I go across the region where the dock is. Is there a way to solve it? I want that, if there is another window open, the dock is always hidden. what is the difference between "intellihide" and "window dodge" for the behaviour?

I installed Ubuntu Server recently and really liked the ability to customized everything that was installed on it. Although I'm a little cautious about installing the server edition on my laptop, is there a Debian based distro that comes as empty as Ubuntu Server? If not, what's the difference between the server kernel and the one that ships with Ubuntu Desktop?
