If I was to make any changes or download anything I have to switch to gnome, because in fluxbox the menu dialog boxes are not appearing.
I'm assuming they are coming up because if it's a dialog asking for my user password the window will unfocus and I can not click on it but no dialog box pops up!
Anyway, here is something that is puzzling me and cannot think up a good way around it: I call the constructor and show elements of LoginDialog in the constructor of my QMainWindow, like this:
PHP Code:
MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow){ ui->setupUi(this); LoginDialog *lid = new LoginDialog(this); lid.show();}
LoginDialog is a QDialog and it does show up on application start... but...
It is not active! The QMainWindow is the active window, even if I put lid->activateWindow();
So, the question is: how do I pop up this dialog on application start in such a way that it will show the LoginDialog on startup as active window?
I am a total novice to Ubuntu OS. I am running 10.10 on a Eee PC 4g.
Some dialog boxes are too big for my monitor. I have tried re-sizing using mouse's middle button but there seems to be a limit to the amount you can reduce, which leaves them still too big??
I have hidden both top/bottom bars.
I am prevented from setting up a wireless connection. 1. Because the 'Editing Wirelss Connection' box/window is too long to be able to click apply?? 2.Because all the tuts I find are for older versions and don't seem to apply now?
I starting to think maybe Ubuntu is not for me, I am not a programmer?
I can't seem to run Evolution. Whenever I try to open it, I get a box asking for the password for my email account as well as a box asking whether I want Evolution to be the default mail client. The answer in either box is not acknowledged, and the only was I can figure out to close it is to "killall evolution". I'm having a hard time searching for bug reports--nothing seems to come up with the terms that I have used.
How can I reset this? I kind of want to try out the Contacts manager feature and the MS Exchange compatibility, but I use Thunderbird for my main email and I don't want Evolution to be the default. Incidentally I'm actually using Fedora 13 but I imagine most of the commands I might need are the same.
after googling around there doesnt seem to be a fix for this its madness
you go to open/save a file, the box comes up - and i'f im looking for a picture theres no thumbnail view?
i have hundreds of pictures in some folders and theres no way to tell which is which i have to click each one for the preview

I reinstalled Fedora 11 last night because i saw that I could leave out packages that I don't need by unchecking everything in the software selection screen. Anaconda installed about 179 packages and I rebooted. I installed X, GDM, and LXDE, but whenever, I start GDM, all the fonts show up as random boxes, ie. there's no english on the sceen, just boxes. I'm pretty sure that i forgot to install a font that fedora uses for gdm but i don't know which one to install.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having some major problems with some popups and all of my notifications:
Ubuntu Karmic 9.10
Video Card: ATI Raedon Mobility 7500 (open source drivers)
Running GNOME up to date version for 9.10, no compiz for now (on laptop)
The main problem is that, after updates, I have been getting popups and notifications that look like the attached... Which is problematic if you want to use popup/notifications such as those popped up.... These include Pidgin notifications, Sound Notifications, and whenever I attempt to open System Monitor, as can be seen from the snapshots.
Not sure if this is where to put this but I have tried googling to find a fix but couldn't find anything.
When I go to Travelocity to search for airfares a popup comes up. It is a small window and often it is for Netflix.
I can't figure out how to not have this popup show up. I have checked the Preferences/Content. I have block pop-up windows checked. I also looked to make sure travelocity is not listed, it isn't.
how to make this pop-up go away?
I go to turn on my laptop this afternoon and it boots up fine, but then I get a 'Save Screenshot" Popup that is using, most likely, 100% of my cpu. So I can't do anything, mouse doesn't move, shortcut keys do nothing, all I can do is a hard shutdown.

If you could just tell me what causes these messages to display like this I'm sure I could do some investigating of my own.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to connect a projector to my laptop (already running) and hit the fn+f7 (the designated button for switching screen), nothing happens. I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.

When you hover your cursor over in icon often you get some info about it.
Now I have the problem that this info is unreadable in all the KDE apps I use and in Skype. (see the sceenshot I attached to see what I mean)
I uses Ubuntu 10.10 with Gnome the radiance theme.
When switch to another theme and then immediately switch back to radiance the colours are good but after a reboot I get back the unreadable colours.
What can I do to solve this problem?
Is it even possible to do this? I cant find any files or settings in the themes folders. What I want to do is change the ugly grey/black popup in the top right to a different color and change the font color as well. This is 10.04 Netbook Remix.

What happens is that every new window including popups become black. It seems if I turn off the desktop effects it goes away. I'm using T500 with intel graphics, and tumbleweed with KDE 4.7

I'd like that script to create a popup message saying "Download Complete" (including the name of what was completed if possible otherwise just generic "DL complete")
I tried 'man notify-osd' and 'notify-osd --help' but it is not found.
Yet it is installed by default.
The message must stay up until clicked on so that if something finishes overnight, the msg is still there in the morning.
