Ubuntu :: How To Remember Wallpaper Settings

Aug 19, 2010

I cane never decide on a single wallpaper so I managed to put together this little script, mostly by stealing from other people, and have it run on start up.The first and most important is that my computer doesn't remember the settings for each picture, it just uses whatever the previous settings were. Is there a way to fix this? and the second very minor problem is that sometimes the script uses no picture so I just have whatever backround color was set as the wallpaper.

SUSE :: 11.2 Does Not Remember Display Settings

Feb 18, 2010

When I plugin a 2nd monitor, the display settings in Configure Desktop allows me to change the display mode to single expanded screen versus duplicate desktop. However, after restart the computer, I have to do that again. I can understand that if I un-plug the 2nd monitor, it should intelligently switch to a single screen mode. But if I don't, it should remember it.

Make the matter worse, if I am in single span screen mode (1 desktop on 2 monitors) and I unplug the monitor while the computer is running, it would not know how to switch back, even in the Display settings of Configure Desktop saying it's in the single monitor mode. This means application and mouse can freely be pushed way over that area of the screen (hidden). I write free software too, and I don't let obvious bugs like this creep into a major distribution like OpenSuse 11.2. It just gives a bad image for OpenSuse and open source in general.

Debian Multimedia :: Xfce 4.6 Won't Remember Desktop Settings

Mar 3, 2011

My Googling about this said to make sure xfdesktop was running. I have.Changes made to the panel, to startup and session persist.But number of workplaces, wallpaper, font, theme and so on revert to what they were before. These settings are from when I used Xfce before in Ubuntu 8.04. (My /home dir is on its own partition and I like to keep all my config files for apps I have used and might want to again.)I suspect I might need to delete a config file but I'd rather not undo all of the other settings that do work. Which? Or is it something else?

Slackware :: Just Installed The Nvidia Driver And Now It Won't Remember My Settings

Mar 15, 2010

I finally got around to installing the Nvidia driver (gotten from Slackbuilds.org).

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it, but it wants to default to 1280x1024 resolution and we prefer 1024x768 on our old 17" CRT monitor.

No matter what I do, though, it starts up in 1280x1024. We start X from runlevel 3 and go into KDE 4.3.1.

It is not difficult to change to 1024x768 using the Nvidia configuration utility, but then the menu fonts are HUGE -- especially in Thunderbird and Firefox.

My xorg.conf is below.

Ubuntu :: Wallpaper Option Not In CompizConfig Settings?

Mar 2, 2011

Brand new to ubuntu and I'm trying to get different wallpapers on different work stations. I've read several tutorials and they all say to go to my CompizConfig Settings and go to the Utilities section, under which you will find Wallpaper. I went there and can not find it. I can't right click on my desktop either for some reason. Ran a quick search and I couldn't find anything in the forums.

EDIT: Solved! Had to download compizconfig-plugin-extras

Ubuntu :: How - Get To Remember Last Session

May 5, 2011

I just upgraded to Natty (11.04) and I want to get my Ubuntu to remember what last windows I had open after I logout and then login.

Due to reasons beyond my comprehension, hibernate and sleep do not work, and I prefer to use shutdown anyway.

I am using Unity and have not changed much of the default environment. I found plenty of guides for 8.04, but the Unity change has moved a lot of things around.

Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it in 11.04?

Ubuntu :: Burg - Won't Remember Theme

Mar 27, 2010

I installed Burg, I then spent a decent amount of time editing a theme to look like I wanted as shown below. Its slightly glitcy but I pretty pleased However burg is refufing to save my choice of theme The configuration file looks like this, I've tried changing the theme to = the specific theme i want but that doesn't work, neither does changing the folding options to = yes.

# Use the previous selected theme, you can also specify a theme to be used
# In the boot menu, use hotkey 't' to popup a theme selection menu GRUB_THEME=saved
# Use the previous folding option, its value can be 'yes', 'no' or 'saved'
# In the boot menu, use hotkey 'F7' to show the full list, 'f' to toggle
# between folding modes. GRUB_FOLD=saved with it.

Ubuntu Networking :: Does Not Remember Wi-Fi Password?

May 13, 2010

I hate to make a new thread for something that has probably already been solved, but searching through all the threads can be a challenge in itself.Every time I log in to Ubuntu 10.04 I am asked for the password to my Wi-Fi connection. About a week ago it was working fine, however after, I think, the second update Ubuntu was longer able to remember the password. Its not a major problem as I can access the Internet its just really inconvenient.

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Won't Remember Application Choice?

Jul 27, 2010

I want VLC to be the default media player in my Ubuntu 10.04 installation. However, even though I right click on a media file and select it to open with VLC and ticks the "Remember this application for ..." box, files of this type still keep opening in the "Movie Player" application. It seems the "Remember this application for ..." box has no effect what-so-ever. Anyone know what might be wrong? Some configuration file somewhere that I don't have the right to or something?

Ubuntu :: Firefox Keeps Asking To Remember Password

Jun 11, 2011

I've got a strange issue here concerning Firefox. Of some sites i don't ant my login and password to be saved by Firefox. The question pops up (below navigation bar) i click no and it's gone. But when i go to the same website, let's say, the next day, i get the same question. This issue is not related to 1 website, it's doing with all kinds of sites i log in to.

How can i prevent that FF comes up with that question to remember my login/password even when i clicked on No, do not remember? Pleae keep in mind that some site i do let FF save my login/password, those sites are regular visited by me. So unchecking the option in preferences i rather don't want that.

Who can tell me why FF keeps coming up with that question even if i click on no?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 - Nautilus Will Not Remember Default Action

May 28, 2010

I did a fresh install of 10.04 a couple of weeks ago, and all seemed well, but lately when I double-click on, say, an OpenOffice (.odt) file in Nautilus, I get the following message:The file '/home/zerubbabel/Documents/Teachings/Queue/2010.05.15-A02.odt' is not marked as executable. If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit.(The pop-up window title reads: "Blocked: wine start /unix"). I've repeatedly set the "Open with..." and checked "Remember this application...", but it doesn't "stick".

Ubuntu :: VLC Playlists - Won't Remember File Association

Sep 21, 2010

I am trying to use VLC playlists.

Either xspf or m3u.

Creating them is fine but the only they will launch is if I "Open With" VLC.

Having "Remember this application for "XSPF playlist" files." checked seems to make the assignment b/c when I right-click to get properties VLC is chosen under the "Open With" tab.

The icon doesn't change from the music note image either (I thought I'd get some VLC icon)

I understand this is a bug and you must edit ".local/share/applications/mimeapps.list"

But don't know what to enter there for XSPF or M3U files.

Ubuntu 10.04.1
VLC 1.2.2

Ubuntu :: Cannot Remember The Password For The Computer If It Locks

Nov 19, 2010

I am running edubuntu in one of the classes of the school i support. My problem is that the children cannot remember the password for the computer if it locks. I have it set to auto login on the class user and I have disabled the screensaver asking for a password on resume, and disabled the powerdown options. So in theory it should stay on the desktop until they shutdown. However there is still the option to lock the computer and i am sure that they will find it and manage to lock themselves out of the computer! I am a linux beginner, but i have followed a few guides on the internet. I could really do with having their user with no password, so if they accidentally lock the computer they only have to click unlock to resume their computing.

Ubuntu :: Change File Permission Settings To Force All Documents To Inherit Parent Document Settings?

Aug 21, 2011

i have a computer with 3 users on it, and a folder using samba that everyone on the network has access to. Lets say that, the folder is stored in /etc/sharedfolder. What happens is, when user1 puts a folder in it, then logs off, user 2 attempts to modify it and fails, because permission is set to 755, and they are not in the same group. (even if they were, it should still need to be 775) Anyway, my current solution is, every 5 minutes a crontab changes permission like so: chmod 777 -R /etc/sharedfiles && chown useradmin:superadmin -R /etc/sharedfiles Which works, but seeing as there is getting close to a gig in there, this is a bad solution, as it eats up the computers resources. Solutions that i think might work:

1) create a script that only changes permissions that need be changed.
2) change file permission settings to force all documents to inherit parent document settings
