I'm trying to make a custom livecd for karmic with remastersys for a ready out of the box config and I cannot figure out how to set the following defaults:
I'm trying to figure out how to edit the colours,I would love to make all of Nautilus some shade of green, and the icons too, and the bit there the panel shades the selected app white.
I installed the Elegant Gnome theme/package and I uninstalled it after about a week of use. Even after reverting back to the ambiance theme, or other themes, I've noticed that some elements of the Elegant Gnome theme have remained (e.g. the panel color and icons in Chrome or after right clicking and the system font).Is there a way to restore the Gnome defaults or Ubuntu system defaults so that everything is as it should be?
I have a box that is setup for a Desktop environment. I've full screened terminal, but it still try to sleep the display every few minutes. How do I change this? Or better yet, just boot up in console only mode.
In windows when I install gvim/vim, it automatically installs a context menu in explorer that lets me edit a file in gvim by simply right clicking and pressing v. For someone who edits a lot of files and is really used to vim, it is super-convenient. I want to do the same thing in nautilus. So I installed nautilus-actions and added to the context menu of editing with gvim. That wasn't hard. The hard part is getting that keyboard key to bind to that context menu item. Currently when I right click and press v, it sends the item to trash. I want it such that when I right click a file and press v, it edits the file in gvim. How can I do that? I want a good solution, and am willing to switch file managers/window managers if need be. This particular shortcut key is very important to my user experience.
I am a new Ubuntu user, and I am attempting to set Windows 7 64 bit as my default OS in the boot loader instead of Ubuntu 10.10. I have entered the command gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst into terminal, and the menu.lst file does open. However, this file appears to be completely blank, which does not seem to make sense and is preventing me from changing the boot order.
Powersaving on my desktop is way to agressive, it behaves like a notebook. The monitor switches off after just 4 minutes.Disabling PowerDevill makes no difference. Editing energy profile settings doesn't help either.Is there another way to force these settings?
I have set Nautilus to sort files by type, but for some reason it always, by default, arranges files by size, meaning I have to actually click the "type" column every time I open a new folder. How do I make it sort stuff by type like it's supposed to?
I have an old laptop that I installed EasyPeasy Lucid on. I have never used Grub2 as my other Ubuntu installs still use Grub Legacy. I have studied all the tutorials which instruct that the grub.cfg file should not be edited directly.This old laptop has one of the dreaded Intel graphics chips for which the kernel automatically loads the i915 module. Of course (like a multitude of others with Intel graphics and Lucid) I booted into a black screen but knew the workaround was to enable mode setting through grubI used the
Code: i915.modeset=1 and added it to /etc/default/grub line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX, just after "quite splash", just
i'm trying to make a backtrace of nautilus (as described here: URL...to fill a bug report but it doesn't work.after i "attach PID" to the nautilus-process and do "continue" it's not possible with ctrl-c to return to the (gdb)-prompt. the wiki-page above says:"If the program hangs but doesn't crash you can press ctrl+c in gdb while the program is frozen and then continue with the next step".
I configured Dell Latitude D620 to go to sleep mode (suspend to ram) when i close the lid. It suspends ok and then I open the lid. It wakes up ok, but few seconds after goes to sleep again! So I need to press the power button to force it to wake up.
Sleep button works just fine. /etc/acpi/sleep.sh from console too.
I noticed that it always goes to sleep again when I wake up laptop by opening the lid. For example if I run /etc/acpi/sleep.sh, pm-suspend or press the sleep button laptop goes to sleep, then i close the lid and when i open it back - the problem occurs.
Bit of a strange one - locate is not finding any files ?? I'm running xubuntu karmic and 'locate' is actually 'mlocate' so doesn't allow the -u switch.
I don't know what I'm missing or what I did to break it, but most screensavers that I have end up returning this error message: "X Error of failed request: BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) Major opcode of failed request: 135 (GLX) Minor opcode of failed request: 19 (X_GLXQueryServerString) Serial number of failed request: 16 Current serial number in output stream: 16" This is also the output of glxinfo. Did I somehow break something in my graphics driver?
Im constructing a menu for a program using case. I have all my normal input options mapped out but i want to have a * ) option so that if something else is inputed, it displays "Incorrect input" and then resumes the normal menu function. How do I do this? Ideally, I'd like it to display "Incorrect Input" and then accept more input for the menu.
Is it possible to change my current nautilus window to have sudo capabilities,? e.g. to delete locked files. It may be lazy but if it takes a lot of navigation then it would be handy to somehow activate sudo from the open window without the terminal command (gksudo nautilus) which always begins at root.
I attempted to install Nautilus Elementary...the results were not what I expected however. First of all, it doesn't seem to even have installed correctly, but thats not the main issue...after installing, Nautilus looks like this...
I do like a lot of the changes they've made in Lucid (especially the aesthetic ones), but there is one change they made that I don't like, and I can't figure out how to get around it. I have Ubuntu set so that, after 10 minutes or so of inactivity, my screen is blanked, in order to save power. In Lucid, though, whenever I come back to my computer after the screen has been blanked, it requires me to entire my password in order to resume use of my computer. Is there any way I can turn this off?
This next question is unrelated, but I do still feel the need to ask. Why, exactly, did they move the minimize/maximize/close buttons from the top-right corner of the window to the top-left? I know that it probably feels natural to Mac users, but every previous version of Ubuntu has had these buttons in the top-right corner.....why on earth did they feel the need to change it? I've been using Ubuntu for a while now, and it's kind of annoying. Surely most people who've been using Ubuntu for a while were thrown off by this, as well? I doubt that there is any way to change it, but does anyone know if there is?
I've added a new Nautilus action and I'd like to use another icon that those provided in the nautilus item con list (see attachment).
But whatever image I try (some PNG or even SVG files) I can't get them to be displayed. It seems there is a very special format, size, type to match the Gnome/GTK+/Nautilus icon requirements...
Does anyone know how I can move the location bar in nautilus up by the toolbar, as shown by this pic: http://i39.tinypic.com/2qdsyll.jpg
I'd rather not have to download the source of nautilus and edit the code / compile it myself.
By the way, a guy on Ubuntu Forums thought this was a mockup. It's not. It's the regular version of Nautilus, only I removed some toolbar buttons through the /usr/share/nautilus/ui xml files.
I just want the location bar next to the toolbar to conserve screen space, and be a bit more like Finder.
I am facing the problem of calling cfitsio library from C program in linux. when i am givingthe option "gcc -o CreateLevel1DataFitsFile CreateLevel1DataFitsFile.c -lm -lcfitsio "i am getting following error

I've recently done a fresh install of 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 5720 and it went pretty well. However I've a problem with the logon appearing twice. If I leave my computer idle for too long the screen locks. when I return I'm asked for my password which unlocks the computer but within a few seconds the screen locks again and I need to enter my password for a second time. This time the computer unlocks and stay unlocks.. but it's annoying I have to unlock it twice !
How can I extend the length of time before it unlocks or disable it all together.. until the problem gets fixed?
I am returning a computer to the dealer and I want to remove all stored passwords from firefox. How do I do that? This is version 3.6.I also would like to remove bookmarks and history.
I was transferring data from one computer to my laptop and crash error came up on my laptop...

What could be the problem? Is it serious issue? I have been having security issues with Windows and are those issues begun once again? I have been under targeted attack since 2005.
I am developing a script to automate some database setup, but I have an issue I cannot figure out. I prompt for some input with whiptail and select a default if nothing is entered. However, if you do not enter anything, it normally returns 0, but this time it is returning an empty value.
I have a linux box, which was given to me by a company with 3 dedicated IP addresses. My goal was to setup ssh tunnels on all three dedicated IP Addresses.
Via Putty, i am successfully able to create a tunnel to the box's on IP1 IP2 and IP3 - that is i can make incoming connections on all three IP's.
However, my problem lies when i attempt to USE the tunnel. AIn all instances, regardless of the IP i actually tunneled into the box with, it returns IP1 as an outgoing connection, i.e if i setup IE to use the tunnel, it will return my IP as IP1, even though i have created the tunenl via IP2/IP3.
What id liek to accomplish is that when i create a tunnel via IP1, then outgoing connections go via IP1, and when i create a tunnel via IP2, then outgoping connectiosn go via Ip2 etc.
After discussing this with a colleague of mine, he infomed me he had the same problem at one point, and that some configuration on the box was required - however he was unable to recall.
I'm building a very small netbootable client, using a stripped down custom kernel and busybox v.1.18.4 (stable) with the embedded ifconfig and udhcpc applets
after startup, the initrd is loaded, and the proc, sys, dev and pts folders are properly created and mounted.
/proc/net/dev properly contain eth0 as an ethernet device.
in the init script I execute a background call to udhcpc passing the dhcp.script properly to udhcpc, and dhcp.script is then executed when the bound event occurs.
what I cant get past is udhcpc is passing back the interface evironment variable as etho0 (thats, 'eth' lowercase 'o' and a zero '0', when it should be passing 'eth0', thats 'eth' and zero '0')
I know I could hardcode the eth0, but i was hoping for a somewhat smarter system.
I'm having trouble with my pam_mysql authentication.'ve double checked my md5 password but its correct.What should I be looking at? My /etc/pam.d/system-auth is completely identical to my other server (that works), but this one is somehow reporting that my password is wrong.I've bolded out the questionable output.Here's my error log while trying to connect:
