Ubuntu :: How To Exit From Screen Without Closing App
May 5, 2010
I have some screen questions. First, can you give screens names (such as whatever app you're screening), and second, how do you exit from a screen without closing the app (ie exit screen back to the command prompt, do your thing, then screen -r it)?

since I've upgraded to 11.04 on my Dell Latitude E6400, every time I close the lid and open it again, Ubuntu fires up but the screen itself is totally messed up, it's just random patterns all over the screen. The laptop is locked, so I can type in my password, hit enter, and once I'm logged in again the screen is perfectly fine, so the system itself works, only the display is the problem

Whenever I use the function hibernate or sleep - or just generally close my lid on my laptop, my laptop displays a black screen when I open the lid again - though it is turned on.
Basically, it hibernates/sleeps the laptop when I close the lid. When I open the lid though, it turns on the laptop, but brings me a black screen.

My startup screen also says something about a usb problem, and S for skip and M to manually fix it but I have had no problems with my usb. Oh except for my computer won't start

I'm playing a game (fullscreen) and change some video settings, and the game hangs. I always have to power off the computer and restart.Is there any way to just exit that program, like in windows, one can open the task manager and end the process?

I've wondered for years how it works and how I can change it. For example, opening a document with vim, or opening a man page, and then exiting out of it will sometimes (depending on the distro) clear the screen and leave your prompt at the very top. other times, it leaves the contents of whatever you had open on-screen and your prompt is at the bottom.

When I open a pdf file (e.g., beamer file) using xpdf, there's an annoying window on the left displaying section headings. Presumably it's possible to close it, ideally toggle it closed and open with a key binding, but I can't find out how to do this.

I noticed that if I have "exit" in a bash script file., e.g. script.sh,that when the word "exit" is reached, and the script file being executed is not in the PATH nvironment, i.e. ". script.sh", the whole konsole shell profile is exited! What gives here? Is there another command compatible to "exit" to prevent this, or will I just have the leave the "." part in the PATH enviroment, which is, to my understanding, is not recommended? I desire for a "goto" function in bash script files

In linux, creating thread is same as process (clone()), except the virtual address space gets shared with the parent.If a running main process(thread) creates new thread, and if main thread exits, why should the new thread too exit? both are different entities, The same doesn't happen if the child thread exits, the parent thread would be alive.

Since Firefox is cross platform, this is equally Linux and Windows question, but presumably the Linux crowd knows better.
Whenever I go full screen with any kind of video in Firefox I get the "press ESC to exit full-screen mode" warning that plagues my screen for several seconds.
How can I get rid of this?

I have been using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS for several months and recently the system has stopped closing down cleanly. It starts okay and runs just fine, but when I come to closing down it doesn't do anything after I've clicked on the shut down button. The same happens with the restart button. I have been closing the system by pressing the power button on the front of my tower. I have no idea as to why it won't close ... I haven't installed any extra software, so I guess it's a system problem. Closing down by pressing the power button cannot be doing the OS any good, so I could do with a fix ASAP on this one.

Is there a way to stop conky from closing when I click on it? I have a few set up as a system monitor bar on the desktop, and I'd like to anchor them there from accidental clicking so I don't have to restart my script.

This is probably a stupid question, but I haven't been able to figure it out on my own.
If I run Amarok and then click on Amarok -> Quit, the main Amarok window disappears but a tray icon remains:
How do I open Amarok again?
Choosing Amarok from the main menu does nothing. Running amarok in the terminal produces:
multi@aux:~$ amarok
Amarok is already running!

I tried Kubuntu and it have a nice function that not closing all programs when shutting down ("not closing" explicitly) . So if I start the Kubuntu the next day, all the program will appear in the same state. in my Ubuntu, when pressing "shut-down", a message box pops asking : "Are you sure you want to close all programs and shut down the computer?" and I press "yes" (cause you are not leaving me any choice! [the other option is "cancel"] ).

I tested 11.04 beta 1 on one of my computers and was happy to see VmWare workstation 7.1.4 to work fine on it. Then I decided to upgrade my most frequently used computer to 11.04 beta 2, but I can't get VMware to work properly. When I click on some of the function button such as start a VM or maybe change a setting VMware just closes. I can't figure it out, I've tried it with Unity, Gnome with effects, Gnome without. Nouveau driver, Distro nVidia driver, downloaded nVidia driver, and VGA driver. It was nothing to do with Video driver, but that is about the only hardware difference with the other machine that works, it has Intel Video.

Long-time Unix/Linux user, just got a new Xubuntu box set up to be a fileserver using SAMBA. I've noticed that every 8 minutes or so, the fileserver will disconnect any user currently accessing any files. My first instinct is to unload the GUI and tackle it from the terminal command line. However, every time I try to close out Xubuntu using "sudo init 1" I get taken to the Xubuntu splash screen and the box will no longer respond to any commands. I can post any relevant information requested about the system, build, and version.

For the past 3 days skype has been giving me problems for some reason. I start it, the sign in screen shows up and like 5 seconds later it closes, I check if the process is still running but it's not so it just shuts down. I've tried uninstalling it from synaptic package manager, then installing it again and it's still doing me this.

I am encountering a Problem with the TeamSpeak server that I host on my Ubuntu Machine. The Problem I'm having is that when I restart the Computer before Stopping the Service from the Terminal, The Server would encounter an error the next time it is started.
I would like to know if there is a File somewhere that is run when the User want to Reboot or Shutdown the PC, or if I can write a script that runs before Shutting down.

I'm trying to add a network printer. I went to Admin > printing > New...It started searching for printers, then brought up a "New Printer" box... So I expand Network Printer, and go to "windows printer via SAMBA"When I hit browse, it shows my workgroup, so I expand WORKGROUP, and it shows the PC thats sharing the printer... however, soon as I expand that PC thats sharing the printer, the WHOLE thing closes out
Printer configuration, new printer, SMB browser, all of it closes as if i killed the process or something... I can even refresh and try expanding workgroup again and it'll close out

Is there a way to identify and close a given instance of an open nautilus window from a command line?
Or can one identify via a command line that a given instance is open?
I'd like to tag one when it is open with a specific title and then if that is already open not open it again all from the command line.
