Ubuntu :: How To Make Gmrun For Windows+r

Jul 26, 2011

I want to launch 'gmrun' with the key combination of Windows+r(like how we launch run dialog box in windows)..but i am not able to do..

Here i am attaching the screen shots of what i am doing..

1) Launched Keyboard shortcuts application

2) Click on Add button

3) Entered name as 'gmrun'

4) command as 'gmrun' (because i am able to launch gmrun from terminal by just entering 'gmrun')

Here is the screenshot of what i have done so far. [URL]

5) Clicked on Apply button

6) Then i selected the gmrun action and entered 'Windows+r'

Here is the screenshot: [URL]

Still, I am not able to launch gmrun using Windows+r key combination.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Unable To Make Windows 7 To Boot

Mar 17, 2010

So here is the deal, I have my wifes computer set up to dual-boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Windows 7. She uses a HP G60-445DX laptop, and something very funky is going on.

1. I first installed Windows 7, and it boots fine multiple times with no problem.

2. Next, I install Ubuntu 9.10. After installation is finished, I select reboot, and choose Windows 7. It boots fine.

3. Then, I reboot into the newly installed Ubuntu for the first time, get to the desktop, and reboot.

4. Now when I select to boot Windows 7, it gets about half-way, and suddenly reboots the computer.

I've troubleshooted this thing for days on end trying to isolate exactly what is causing Windows 7 not to boot. After reinstalling Windows 7 again, it once again boots fine, even after I use the live CD to restore Grub 2. It's only after I boot the fully installed Ubuntu 9.10 that her Windows 7 install starts acting weird. All I can narrow it down to is that after I boot into Ubuntu for the first time (after an install), Windows 7 no longer boots properly.

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Does Not Detect Windows XP On U9.10 / Make It Possible?

Apr 2, 2010

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 yesterday on my computer. I had Windows XP and Windows 7 (I deleted the Windows 7 partition and installed Ubuntu 9.10). However, after installing Ubuntu, I couldn't access the grub boot menu. So I googled, and I found out how to make the menu show up again. That was okay. But Windows XP didn't show up. So I googled a bit more, searched the forums, and I added the following entry to my 40_custom file code...

As far as I know, that should work. The uuid I entered there is the one that gparted told me was the uuid of the partition. However, this isn't working. I get a disk read error when I try to boot my Windows XP.

According to my gparted, my Windows XP drive is inside an extended partition? I wonder if that has any influence on why I'm getting the disk read error, or anything. It's either that, or my 40_custom entry is wrong. I've been trying to sort this out for a while now, and I'm afraid I'm not getting anywhere with it.

Ubuntu :: Make These Types Of Windows Smaller?

Apr 25, 2010

I've noticed this issue for a long time now, and it's always bothered me. Whenever I have to open a file within a program or upload something to a website, etc., the window that pops up is always HUGE. The reason is due to the list of file types at the bottom. Instead of cutting off with an ellipsis at some point, every single applicable file type is listed. I can't resize these windows, either, so they always take up my entire screen. Is there any way to fix this so that these kinds of windows are a more reasonable size?

Ubuntu :: Make Windows Key Open The Panel?

Mar 9, 2011

I'm trying to find a way to make my Windows key the shortcut to opening my start panel in Lubuntu. I've found easy instructions for Ubuntu, but Lubuntu doesn't have the keyboard shortcuts utility that Ubuntu has (at least I can't find it).

I found some instructions for editing a config file but I can't find the command for opening the panel, and I've seen conflicting information about how the Windows key is written (some say W, some say Super_L), so I hesitate to start playing around with that file when I'm only guessing.

Ubuntu :: Make Inactive Windows Transparent ?

Mar 19, 2011

I like the compositor options I get from Xubuntu rather Ubuntu because I havent really found a way to make the inactive windows transparent in Ubuntu. But I also like the transparency options I get for the panels on Ubuntu. I can make the panel transparent but keep the icons and text and Im pretty sure launchers not. Is there a way I can edit the panels in such a way in Xubuntu or vise versa for Ubuntu with the compositor options on Xubuntu?

First Screenshot is Ubuntu
Second Screen shot is Xubuntu

I want the red transparent panel from Ubuntu on Xubuntu or the compositing style from Xubuntu to Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Make Windows XP The First And Default Option On Grub 2?

Feb 7, 2010

I was wondering how I can make Windows XP the first and default option on my Grub 2. I use Ubuntu 9.10 through a semi-dedicated partition on my second hard drive, if that helps. I use Grub 2 just cause I have a grub.cfg file, and here it is.

Code:
#
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE
#
# It is automatically generated by /usr/sbin/grub-mkconfig using templates

Ubuntu :: Computer Runs Slower Than Windows / Make It Up?

Oct 1, 2010

I have a 2-year old DELL XPS M1330. I used to have Windows Vista on it, but over time, I believe it became clogged with too many programs and so I wiped the hard drive and installed ubuntu 10.04 LTS about 2 weeks ago. However, ubuntu many times seems to run slower than vista did. I have 4 GB of RAM, an Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (2.1 GHz, 3MB Cache, 800MHz FSB), 320GB HDD, 128MB nVIDIA GeForce 8400M. Ubuntu recognizes me as having dual processors at 2.1 GHz and 3.4GB RAM, but when I'm watching a simple video, whether online or locally on the computer, my CPU usage invariably jumps to 100% and it lags. Sometimes, even simple word processing makes it slow significantly.

Ubuntu :: Make Windows 1st Choice (not Just Default) In Grub?

Mar 4, 2011

I am dual booting Windows and Ubuntu 10.10. I installed StartUp-Manager so that I could easily make Windows my default OS upon Startup.I did a sudo apt-get update / sudo apt-get upgrade and now I have a new kernel. This moved Windows down in the list, so now MemTest86 is the default OS upon Startup.I want to make Windows the default always, not just until the next Kernel upgrade comes through.
