I get used to have shadow for tooltip window in my desktop environment. But from Ubuntu 10.04, the defaut setting disables shadow for tooltip. And I don't feel good about such minor change.So how to enable shadow for tooltip window again? (ubuntu 10.04 + gnome 2.30)

I'm using this metacity theme along with the included (and AMAZING) emerald theme for the window borders. Just wondering if there's any way I can keep the window borders as they are, but put shadows on for the gnome-panel and my stickynotes? See HERE.When I try to adjust the shadow settings in emerald, it changes everything -- including the window borders, which make the theme look horrible.I know I can specify certain types and classes of windows when using compiz as default window decorator with ccsm, but is there any way to do something like this with emerald?

I have desktop effects on and window shadows enabled. The main windows don't seem to follow this, nor does any taskbar pop-ups when you hover your mouse over them. I even set the shadow settings to high/annoying settings but I only see it on context/right-click menus.
I don't like the blue shadow because it is too light, but I can't seem to find where to change it. This seems to also apply to in-active windows as far as the size of the shadow but with a gray shadow instead. Still, if the desktop effects were effecting this, then the shadows I see should be large. Plus, desktop effects only give you one color choice with it just being darker on the active window. How to change this?
I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but this is the biggest pain when I'm trying to read XKCD. When I mouse over an image in Firefox and the tooltip appears, and I scroll down when it's still there, the tooltip is replaced by a gray box.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI tried changing my tooltip background to a lighter color so that I can read the font, or to something that has some contrast with the font, but I have been unable to do so. What am I missing? Seems like a rather intuitive operation. I haven't been able to do so as of yet. Could I please get some help with this.I went to Settings > Appearance > Colors, and changed the setting. But, the change was not reflected in my windows. How come?

Rebooting or reinstalling Deluge seems to have no effect.Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

I've also heard that the service may be available to users in Windows 7. Is there an equivalent of this in Ubuntu? Something I could set up that would snapshot files on my hard drive every so often, and let me recover deleted files or earlier versions of files?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am moving my Linux server from Suse 10 to Ubuntu 9.04 and I moved the significant parts of /etc/shadow, /etc/passwd, and /etc/group over to Ubuntu 9.04. I am not able to login into the computer with the old accounts. The only problem I see is that the old accounts use Blowfish and DES to encrypt the passwords in /etc/shadow, and Ubuntu uses SHA512. If I change the passwords, the accounts will work. However; I have about 300 accounts to move, and I don't want to do that to all of them. I have tired Ubuntu Forums and talked to every linux expert I know, and no one has an answer.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to F14 from F13, and when the process was complete, I noticed on my desktop, I have a strange drop shadow on the left-hand corner. As if it's shadowing an invisible window. You cannot interact with it, it's not "really" there.It is very annoying, and I can not figure out what it is, or what is causing it. I've checked all my plasma widgets and things like that, but it still persists.
Anyone run into this before or have any ideas?Here is a screenshot showing the shadow, I intentionally set my background to white, so you could see it best. But it shows up on top of any wallpaper. and you can clearly see it underneath translucent term windows/etc.
i am new to debian. I need to know after booting sequence login shell appears to get username and password. so what happens when user puts username and password ?? how this given username and password are matched with /etc/shadow file ??
my another question is what is role of /etc/pam.d/ authenticating username and password ?? does it work with shadow file or not ?
I noticed that file /etc/shadow changed it's timestamp.Why it is changed? Is it "normal"?
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday i was going through some of security guides written on linux .Under shadow file security following points were mentioned.1)The encrypted password stored under /etc/shadow file should have more than 14-25 characters.2)Usernames in shadow file must satisfy to all the same rules as usernames in /etc/passwd.3)password for application Username should display * if username is not locked.4)If a user is locked it should be displayed as ! as the first character in second field of shadow file.
Confusion for point 1 and 2:Now i m confused as why the encrypted password should be more than 14-25 characters.Also what rules to satisfy How to check it?Confusion for point 3 and 4:There are lot of users with * as second field i guess they are not locked but according to 4th point there are lot of users with ! as first characters.How would i check whether they are actually locked or not.I m posting the output of /etc/shadow and /etc/passwd files for the account.
I am just wondering what encryption method the shadow file uses, so that I may be able to manually change it. I ask this because I am trying to make a web page that will allow people to change their linux password via a browser.
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe /etc/shadow file contains an id of $1$, $2$, $5$ or $6$ to show the encryption method used.A salt follows this,followed by the password hash.When a user is created and a password is set, a hash is RANDOMLY generated and used as the salt to the password hash. Everytime that user logs in, login checks /etc/shadow for the $id$ and salt and runs the password given by the user through the hash mechanism ($id$) using the salt in /etc/shadow.So basically does login look at /etc/shadow for the $id$ and salt to create a hash with which to compare to the /etc/shadow hash?question 2 - If my $id$ was $5$, which is sha256, how would i go about changing this? Like is there a shadow.conf or crypt.conf or something? Can i change it per user?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been working on this console-based game (in c) in which the player walks around touches floating orbs which do things etc. And I want to make it so that an object on the map blocks the sight of the player, which is something I haven't tried until now. This is the part of the code which handles this sort of thing :
void uncover(int shadow)
{
int wp,
hp,
xp,
yp,
pp, // point placement
mp, // maximum pp value // (that's what she said)
lp; // light placement .....
This <works> but isn't very nice. What I would like to do is to change the third to last if statement, which is really more of a geometry problem, which could be frased as :
given points (x,y) , (plist[pp].x,plist[pp].y) and (wp,hp) create a conditional which tests weather or not point (wp,hp) is within the shadow cast by light-source (x,y) being blocked by an object at (plist[pp].x,plist[pp].y), [with some width, ~1]
but there isn't a geometry forum, and it's somewhat more related to programming.
