Ubuntu :: Disabling Start Notification - Entry In Taskbar
Aug 19, 2010
I recently moved from KDE (the latest developments didn't satisfy me) to Gnome but I cannot find the option to remove it. That is, how to remove the temporary entry in the Gnome taskbar, that appears when you start some applications, with the text "Starting <app name>" (like "Starting Terminal"). This feature seems to have enough names (launch notification, startup notification, etc) to get lost among random discussions.

I am running opensuse 11.2 KDE, and for some reason on the taskbar all the notification area/clock has moved from the right to the left, and all my open windows aren't appearing on the taskbar.

I want to install ubuntu 9.10 into other partition, but I want the win xp boot.ini file to configure my boot settings, not the GRUB. First I want to ask is it possible to install ubuntu, but add a boot entry in boot.ini? If not, then I know how to remove it, i found a file called ms-sys, with it I can remove GRUB. So let's say grub is no more, what should be an entry to ubuntu. When it was installed into Windows it was
Code:
c:wubildr
now what should I enter, my guess would be
Code:
m:ootgrubmenu.lst

I'm currently using Debian 5.04 Lenny, and I trying to figure out how I stop things running at boot time, in the simplest way, if possible.
In Redhat/SuSE all I had to do was 'chkconfig xxx off' and it was done, is there an equivalent in Debian? A tool or something.
To find a list of items in Redhat/SuSE all I had to do was 'chkconfig --list' and it displayed a list, is there also an equivalent for this? A tool or something.

I am using preupgrade to update Fedora 9 -> Fedora 12 following these steps: -
Code:
yum -y update
yum clean all
yum install preupgrade
preupgrade-cli
preupgrade-cli "<FEDORA VERSION>"
reboot
I successfully upgraded this box from Fedora 6 => Fedora 9 and I guess I got too confident when this worked without a hitch and went straight from Fedora 9 => Fedora 12. Everything works up until the very end of the upgrade process when I get this error.
Code:
(process:2227): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Parsing primary.xml error: Couldn't find end of Start Tag rpm:entry line 15303

In Windows 7 when you hover over an open application in the taskbar, it shows a small image of that application. Is there a way this can be done in Linux?

I just installed the netbook remix 10.10 on my laptop. I have been using Unity and I would much rather prefer a standard GNOME desktop. I know there was a way to change the netbook interface to a standard GNOME one on the 8.04 remix. Anyone know if there's a way to do it in 10.10?

I upgraded a working Ubuntu system that I'd previously configured to accept tcp connections for the X server, which it's magically gone and added back in again. I can't now figure out how to disable it.
I've edited /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas and changed DisallowTCP to false. I've edited /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc and removed the nolisten tcp line, but it still comes up with it.
The System->Administration->Login Screen has no option for security (pretty sure that's how I fixed it last time).

It seems as if I've really done myself in this time. I recently upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10.trouble (not showing titlebars after I had trie to enable the "desktop cube" feature) so I decided the best plan of action was to get rid of Compiz. That turned out to be a mistake. Now I have no launcher or taskbar, and since I'm somewhat, well, inept at this so far I have no idea how to get my desktop back in working order.e managed to install compiz and emerald once again, but I can't get to the startup application editor to make it run automatically. Is there a way to get the default desktop environment handler to kick back in?

I have disabled the screensaver from locking the computer and asking for a password. I did this by unchecking the box in System > Preferences > Screensaver which says 'Lock screen when screensaver is active.'
However, the screensaver still locks the screen.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit on an HP Pavilion dv5.

I'm running into some weird behavior while using xinput to disable the keyboard that might be an underlying bug, and I'm wondering if anyone could reproduce it or provide any insight into what's causing it. I'm running Ubuntu desktop 10.10 64-bit in a VMware Workstation VM running on a Windows 7 64-bit host.First I use "xinput list" to find out which keyboards are present in the system. In my case there's only one with id=9. Next I execute "xinput set-prop 9 "Device Enabled" 0" to disable the keyboard at id=9. Now, if I type this into the terminal and hit enter, the keyboard gets disabled but at the same time the enter key becomes stuck. The system thinks the enter key is being held down.
However, if I make a script with the same command and execute it by clicking it in Nautilus, the keyboard gets disabled and no keys are stuck. It seems if the keyboard is disabled with a press of the keyboard, then whatever key was pressed to trigger the disabling of the keyboard becomes stuck.
You might ask why I would want to disable the keyboard in the first place. It's because I'm running Ubuntu in VMware Unity mode, where the system in the VM is integrated with the host desktop system, the VM's windows appear as individual windows on the host desktop,etc. In this mode, whenever I close a VM window by hitting a key on the keyboard (for example, hitting Ctrl+D while in gnome-terminal) and focus goes back to a host window, then that key becomes stuck the next time I open a VM window. If I close a VM window by clicking the mouse then there's no problem. I'm pretty sure now that this is caused by the above mentioned bug from disabling the keyboard. I think in Unity mode VMware workstation runs a script to disable the keyboard in the guest whenever VM windows lose focus, so key presses don't continue to be piped to the guest OS. However, if this action is triggered by a press of the keyboard, then that key becomes stuck in the guest OS.

I am having a problem using my laptop's special keys to toggle my touchpad on and off on my ASUS G73JH laptop, running Ubuntu 10.10 (2.6.35-28-generic-pae).
First, some preliminaries:
My touchpad works just fine, but it does not respond to my laptop's special key, Fn+F9.
In /etc/acpi/events I have the following script, "asus-touchpad":
Code:
# /etc/acpi/events/asus-touchpad
# This is called when the user presses the touchpad button and calls
# /etc/acpi/asus-touchpad.sh for further processing.

I've just upgraded to 11.04, but Unity is unfortunately not my cup of tea. I use the classic desktop but I cannot find a way to disable a certain graphical desktop effect... I'm thinking of how the current workspace quickly slides into the next when I choose a different workspace.
If my recollection is correct, you could turn effects like that off in 10.10. This makes me dizzy, does any of know how to turn this off?

I can't figure out how to prevent Zend Server starting at boot up. My temporary solution is to issue the following after boot-up:
Code:
sudo /usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh stop
I'd like to:
1. Prevent it from starting during boot
2. Create two launcher icons to Start and Stop Zend Server

I am a new Ubuntu user (three months so far on Karmic amd64, and very happy with my new OS). I had to do a force shutdown after a system freeze (while viewing video on my tv - dual display - with vlc). Upon restart, I noticed the network connection icon missing from the taskbar; there was an empty "slot" between the evolution and sound icons so I figured the network icon was simply not appearing correctly.
I right clicked in that empty "slot" and chose to remove from taskbar with the intention of putting it back. After clicking remove, the taskbar started a cycle of constant disappear and reappear (about one second between each). The cycle is too fast to allow navigating in menus but I can access the terminal. Being new and all, I don't know how to configure the taskbar through the terminal... fix my taskbar in the terminal?
