View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Pin Apps To The Sidebar?
Oct 11, 2010I've been searching all over ubuntu-land the last two hours for anything about configuring Unity and I'm coming up a little short. Can anybody point me to some documentation that I may have missed?
I figured out how to pin apps to the sidebar, but I'd like to configure the "Favorites" folders and just see what other options can be customized.
I would have thought right-clicking (anywhere) would have helped, but I get nowhere.
Ubuntu :: How To Remove The Sidebar
Feb 19, 2011The left sidebar has been annoying me since the must recent Ubuntu update for Ubuntu Netbook 10.10(?) and I want to know if its possible to remove the darn thing and go back to the old view (or just remove it in general). Is this possible without reverting to Ubuntu 10.04? And if not, can someone tell me how to revert to Ubuntu 10.04? A picture of the sidebar I want removed is attached.

May 12, 2010I've seen a lot of screenshots on gnome-look.org of themes that have nautilus without the ugly sidebar border. However when I install these themes I still get that border.
Example of a theme without the ugly border: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=124462
I've attached a screenshot of my nautilus with a red stroke indicating the border I am talking about.
Can anyone tell me how to get rid of this?
Ubuntu :: Unity Sidebar - How To Add Items To It
Oct 11, 2010Deleting unwanted items from the Unity Sidebar is easy.
but how do you add to it? I'd like to add Terminal, Calibre and some other things to the sidebar for easier access.
I would also like to move Google Chrome to the top of the bar, instead of the middle.
So how does one customize this side bar in Unity?
other than not knowing how to customize my applications in the sidebar, Unity is pretty awesome.

May 21, 2011I am a relatively new user Ubuntu 11.04. I just installed this version and i tried to customize it using Compiz. And after i did that, it appears that i have been zoomed in to my desktop and i can not access the sidebar or even the topbar....furthermore i cant access the terminal or anything to reset Ubuntu. I also do not think that i was giving full admin access when i installed 11.04, i think i have the "Custom" setting/access.

May 22, 2011I recently upgraded to 11.04 and the sidebar seems to not be functioning as one would expect.
I removed unwanted applications that come by default and added my own applications by clicking "Keep In Launcher".
After a reboot the sidebar returns to default applications. I did a quick Google search but wasn't able to find anyone else reporting the problem.
Has anyone heard of this happening to anyone else and can you think of anyway to fix it?
Installation :: Unistall Windows Vista From An Ubuntu / Vista Dual-boot?
Mar 18, 2011I have a single hard-drive on a spare computer and I decided to try out Ubuntu on recommendation from a friend. I really like it now but at first I just dual-booted it, and now I want Vista gone. I know it's unnecessary to have just one OS but my hard-drive isn't particularly big and I'd prefer to have Ubuntu by itself. Can anyone tell me how to eliminate vista and leave Ubuntu as my sole operating system (I've all my files from computer on another computer so I don't have to worry about losing anything).

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Put Computer Icon In The Sidebar In Unity?
May 11, 2011I see many people are a little uneasy with the new desktop of Ubuntu. I think it's marvelous, though... Not because of a reason other than just that a change after a short while is always good.
So, in the Gnome desktop, I would go to gconf-editor and set some keys and I'd get my computer folder and home folder shortcut on my desktop.
This time since the unity desktop has come with a nice sidebar, I'd like to put the same icon there, in the sidebar. But I can't even access computer as Computer:/// anymore... What to do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Repairing Vista By Booting Vista From A USB Stick
Mar 22, 2011I am trying to boot up Vista Home Premium from USB since my internal (bootable) CD-RW drive has failed and I cannot boot up Vista from CD.
I have Ubuntu running in the Windows partition and all my windows files are in there so I don't want to do a full installation of Ubuntu (yet).
I formatted an 8GB USB stick into two partitions
I then copied over to /dev/sdb1 all files from a Vista CD using an external CD-RW drive (which is not recognised as bootable on USB port).
In my Dell BIOS settings I changed the boot sequence to be bootable from USB disk first.
then I tried to reboot Vista installation in the USB stick.
But I get this message ..."this is not a bootable disk .. insert a bootable floppy"
So I could not boot up the Vista installation files.
When the boot flag is "on" in a GParted created partition does this make the partition DOS bootable for Vista installation?
My question is - What utility in Ubuntu 10.10 can create a DOS bootable partition on a USB stick? It seems that the MBR might have been overwritten when I installed Grub 2.0.
I can Grub dual boot between Windows and Ubuntu but I can't get very far with Windows .. stalls in safe mode.
So a Vista repair is called for. I would prefer not to reinstall Vista afresh at this stage.
There is a thread here explaining how to repair Vista bootloader
[url]
But it assumes that I am able to boot from CD-RW drive.
Ubuntu :: Hide Partitions From The Places Sidebar Even If Mounted
Jan 24, 2010How do I...
* Prevent the sdb1 + sdb2 ext4 partitions from being shown in Nautilus/Thunar Places sidebar.
* Prevent the Western Digital SmartWare VirtualCD, sdr1, from being shown in Nautilus/Thunar Places sidebar. It is just a VCD that is part of the firmware of the external (sdb) hard drive. *GAG!*
I don't care if they are mounted or not, though I prefer if they aren't. As long as they don't show up on the Places sidebar AT ALL, I'll be happy. I never use them, but keep mounting them by accident.
Here's my fstab, can you tell me why it's not doing the above?
Code:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
[Code]....

Nov 2, 2010Got a really strange one here. Can connect fine to my 10.10 Netbook Remix desktop over OpenSSH & x11VNC.However, I cannot left-click on the sidebar (Unity). For example, if I click on one of the icons (say Firefox), nothing happens. Clicking anywhere else on the desktop is fine.
Clicking on the sidebar icons when at the netbook is fine. Furthermore, over VNC I can click on one of the sidebar icons and drag it, but can't click to open!
Ubuntu :: 11.04 - Panel And App Launcher Sidebar Not Loading Upon Login / Fix It?
Apr 29, 2011I just updated from 10.10 to 11.04 about an hour ago and I've already managed to crash it. (currently running from my old 10.04 Live CD)
the first restart from the update worked fine. i had a look around and tried to orientate myself to the new dash etc.
this is where the problem comes in.
All i did was open the control center and have a look at the new Unity and Gnome 3 settings etc.
My computer froze and so i had to force shutdown and restart.
I then discover my two main problems.
- the new grub menu/splash screen is displaying at too high a frequency for my monitor to display (if i wait long enough it loads 11.04's login screen by default.)
- upon login, all i can see is my desktop background and my cairo dock from 10.10 but nothing else. (no panel or app launcher side bar)
Ubuntu :: New Desktop Environment - No Sidebar Or Taskbar / Menubar At The Top
May 20, 2011I just upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04 on my compaq laptop, My Issue is this, the upgrade went well for being over the internet, rebooted, got to the kewl new desktop environment, then tried to enable compiz fusion desktop cube, and darn it if I didnt lose the desktop environment. The pic I installed as desktop background is still there, and the desktop icons are as well, but no sidebar or taskbar/menubar at the top,I dont know if this is a resolution issue, or if unity is the desktop environment then it maybe' isn't enabled?,...
while trying to fix this issue(in recovery mode) I got an error message saying that my hardware doesn't support unity, I do not know if that is the problem or not, everything worked fine until I tried to run compiz fusion, now all I have is a desktop background and icons?? I am still learning the Linux environment and how to do things with the command line

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Launcher / Sidebar Keeps Reverting To Default - Sort It?
Jun 16, 2011I'm having a problem with Unity on 11.04. I had installed Gnome 3 just to see what its like and kind of play around with it. I didn't much care for it so i uninstalled it using ppa-purge. It uninstalled, i rebooted and loaded up Unity. It loaded fine but the side bar/launcher/whatever was back to default, with just frefox, libre office, and ubuntu one on it. So i put all my programs back on the launcher (chromium, vlc, clementine etc.) and everything was fine. Until i rebooted, and the sidebar again reverted to default. Every time i turn my computer off and then back on, the sidebar goes to the default programs (but stays the smaller size i changed it to using compiz). No idea why or how to fix it, but it's only happened since i uninstalled Gnome 3...so i assume that has something to do with it.

Nov 18, 2009i have recently started my masters degree program and i have to install fedora 11 for one of my courses. The problem is when i try to install fedora 11 on my laptop, it wipes out my windows vista installation. I want to keep vista. I have a sony vaio laptop model VGN-FW340D. 4GB RAM and 400 GB HD. i first shrink my hard drive to free up around 100 GB. Then i run fedora 11 DVD and let it make the partitions on my free space.. I have tried everything.. I chose use free space the first time, but i didnt work, it wiped out my vista, next time i chose custom layout and defined boot, root and swap partitions , but again it wiped out my vista.. I have read many guides to dual boot vista and fedora and have carried them out step by step, but nothing works.... Also i dont have vista installation DVD, i just have the recovery CDs, so everytime it wipes out my vista, i have to do system recovery, ive been trying for a week now, and its driving me crazy, i asked a friend of mine to help me out, he has dual boot system, and he tried it and it did the same thing, wiped out my vista... i just have one drive C: with two partitions, one small partitions which contains recovery files, and the rest of the partition has vista.......

Jul 31, 2011I really prefer Konqueror to Dolphin, but as it is I have six external harddrives that are connected to my computer, and Dolphin has that sidebar that shows all connected storage devices and you can go straight into them by choosing one. This is the sole feature that keeps me using Dolphin, because I use it constantly. Does Konqueror have a similar feature? If it has something thats even remotely close to that sidebar, I'd switch over in a heartbeat. I looked through all the options I could find but didn't see it anywhere.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Disable Showing Of Mounted Volumes On Desktop And In Nautilus Sidebar?
May 1, 2010I have a bit unusual request.
There are three partitions on my hard drive. Two of them were assigned to mount points / and /home during system installation. The third one was left intact.
After installation the first two partitions were automatically integrated into directory tree and there was a shortcut on the Nautilus sidebar for the third one. Then, I registered the third partition in /etc/fstab for automounting at /home/user/Data directory. For now it works fine, the volume is mounted on startup. But I still have the shortcut to this volume in Nautilus sidebar and icon on my Desktop.
I am interested, if it is possible to disable showing of this items on Desktop and in Nautilus to make the third partition look like registered at system setup time.
