After spending more than an hour searching the Web for an answer I've decided to resort to the help of my favourite forum. I run KDE 4.2.4 on Linux Mint 7. In the past (in KDE 3) I found "Enable sticky switching" option of kxkb very useful, but for some reason it's missing in this version. I wonder therefore if there is a way to enable it manually.

Situation is that there are two users on a Linux server- say A and B.A has been operating a shell script that in turn makes use of and exe file.The script and exe both are owned by user A.My problem is that I want user B to make use of the script and exe in exactly the same way user A does.So I have set suid bit of the script, exe and all the library files that the exe uses.But the exe is still not executing from user B.I did a man of chmod on Linux server and it gave an indication that SUID is disabled on new Linux servers.Now the question is, is there any other command that can perform the same task as SUID did on Unix.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to use a combination that avoids alphabetic/punctuation characters because that way I have a consistent physical position on different layouts. Control_R+Menu fits that requirement and is also located at a very convenient position.This combination used to work in KDE 3.5 for the global kxkb switch action, or any keyboard action for that matter. In KDE 4, trying to assign Menu by pressing the Menu key always activates the keyboard trap widget's context menu, in this case giving me the What's this?How do I work around that problem?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI started using gnome sticky notes along with the Compiz widget layer in Ubuntu 10.04. The problem I'm having is that word wrap on the sticky notes is hit-or-miss. Most of the time the notes will automatically stretch horizontally (even beyond the size of a workspace) rather than break at its current window size. The only other problem I've noticed is that if I right-click on the title of a note, the resulting menu doesn't display correctly (it's looks like a line).Should I reinstall the package it belongs to?

Does anyone else have a resource monitor appearing on their KDE desktop? My is in the upper-right corner, and lies on top of all other windows. I can work with windows beneath it alright, but it is always showing.
The resource monitor is always translucent, and appears to have some sort of vertical "thermometer"-style usage scale on its left side. Beside that are two scrolling graphs. The only text/label appears to be a percentage that matches the thermometer bar, but there is nothing to tell me what resources are being monitored. Regardless, I use other resource monitoring software and I do not want this one on my desktop.

How does Compiz automatically decide which windows should be sticky (i.e. should be visible on all workspaces)? Windows such as gnome-panel and cairo-dock always stay on the visible workspace, without requiring additional configuration. How does Compiz figure this out?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a folder that contains my group's website. The ownership of the entire directory is set to "www-data.website" (website being a group). I want to set the sticky bit on this directory such that if anyone creates a new file, either in the main directory or subdirectories, the ownership remains like above.
Q1: I have the sticky bit set on the main directory (drwxrwsr-x). But for some reason, some of the subdirectories don't have the sticky bit set. Is there a command I can use to change the sticky bit on Directories Only (i.e., not on the files)?
Q2: Is there a sticky bit that I can set for the ownership (not group) so that it is always set to www-data?

I have tried the tips, and to the best of my ability understand the later posts from the sticky post "Graphics Resolution" however I seem to keep reverting back to the blank screen. I did this:

The above only works for some but not all, depending on what card you have and whether it actually is supported by additional drivers (proprietary). All at the moment, mostl seem to need "nomodeset radeon mode=X", where x= 0 or 1... Some ATI cards are not working with the current natty kernel, but are working with the older 2.6.37 kernel or the proposed 2.6,38.9 kerne (please see post 2)l Sometimes (rarely) it'll work but more often it won't, and in the two times it's worked I haven't known how to get it to remember the setting permanently- keep in mind I have no idea what that last paragraph about x= 0 or 1 means.
I am looking to install a c++ compiler. I run 11.4, and was told to look in the Software Manager for easy installation. I have no repositories installed, as the repositories in the Application sticky only applied to Suse installations through 11.3. I found the package "gcc45-c++" (Version Number 4.5.1_20...208-9.8) when I searched the Software Manager. I proceeded to install it, and had no problems, but when I looked in "applications", the compiler was not there. I'm aware that I may be revealing some great ignorance here, so I'll ask, should gcc appear? If not, how do I execute the program?

It seems to do the "click down" correctly, but hasn't always been doing the "click up" when I release the pressure on my stylus. This leads to a bunch of problems when Ubuntu thinks I'm holding down the mouse button, when in reality I'm not holding anything down.I have an older Wacom GD (Intuos 1) USB tablet. I finally figured out how to fix the problem tonight. Here is what I did:1) Determine that "name" of the tablet:lsusb | grep -i wacomBus 002 Device 003: ID 056a:0022 Wacom Co., Ltd Intuos 9x12So in my case, I'm dealing with an Intuos 9x12 tablet.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to OOo v3.3.0, but it feels more like a downgrade; a real disappointment. In my previous version, I could choose 'Tab' in the 'Paste special' dialog and the choice would stick between pastings as well as between sessions. No longer so. In v3.3.0 I have to tick 'Tab' and 'Detect special numbers' each and every time I paste something. I am working with OOo all day and this regression is tiresome, to say the least. So, I am wondering whether there is a way to make the choices sticky? If not, I shall have to go back to the previous version, or perhaps try out LibreOffice.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI got a new 64 bit computer and in my infinite wisdom I installed the server edition of Ubuntu 9.10. I managed to correct that issue and now I'm running the 32 bit version of Ubuntu on my new machine on a dual boot with Windows7.
What I'm wondering is if there is a way that I could possibly switch to the 64 bit version of Ubuntu 9.10 and still be able to boot my Windows OS. I know that I could remove the 32 bit Ubuntu and start fresh, but I'm concerned that if I do that I might not be able to boot the Windows OS, due to the replacement of the Windows boot with GRUB.
So I did a

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop && sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-netbook*
To switch from UNR to the Desktop version.
Everything is fine except for the fact that when I have a maximized window, I do not have the minimize, maximize, and close buttons.
