View 5 RepliesI am using Natty and its favoring me with too much of screen and cpu overloading problems.After some usage with movies or browsing, it gets a distortion and whole horizontal lines appear on the screen like a 8BIT distorted Video game. The background actually runs good, since i tried playing mp3 and got the error after wards. After distortion, the windows start flicker and changing. Is there any way to stop this?Second thing,The cpu easily becomes full while mounting drives or surfing itself.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have this situation: I installed F13 on my laptop having an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator. The screen of my laptop was flickering and i did a 'yum update'.

Please help.
After discussing in #fedora in freenode, some people asked for these (i'm posting in case you need them too):

I dont use Network Manager to connect, but the nm-applet wireless icon wont go out of the system tray. Ive tried to do it through the GUI by unchecking Network Manager in the startup applications: didnt work. I tried to do it by editing the .desktop files in /.config/autostart and /etc/xdg/autostart: didnt work. I deleted all the .desktop files: didnt work. I can get rid of it by killing nm-applet, but then it comes back next time I log in. Is there any way to get rid of this stupid thing outside of purging Network Manager?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I just installed HP drivers for my printer tonight, and now my laptop is acting a little "buggy". Some applications have froze, and my system tray icons are getting messed up. Sometimes the little power button dissapears and my username appears there instead, but it's not clickable. This means I have to shut down by using the power button on my laptop.
Also, as I am typing this message, the letters onscreen are lagging quite a bit behind my actual typing. It's as if there's something running in the background that is slowing everything down and messing things up.
Is anyone else getting a non-transparent icon in the system tray when TrueCrypt 6.3a loads on Ubuntu 10.04 with the default theme? Annoying white bars on the top and bottom of the icon. This didn't occur with the same version of TrueCrypt on previous versions of Ubuntu. Any way to resolve it? It looks out of place...
View 5 Replies View RelatedI removed the bottom panel and killed gnome-panel process. After that the icons are shown in random order on the panel. The clock is sometimes in the middle, sometimes at the end. This is very annoying I locked it to the panel, but it keeps moving randomly after restart. And I can't move it after the panel is loaded.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Kubuntu 11.04, the system tray has gone wild. It contains network manager, volume etc. icons, but applications cannot add theirs. For example Skype status icon positions itself in the top left screen corner; Pidgin icon floats in a small window on the desktop. What could be wrong?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've done some searching through google and can't seem to find a fix for this.
I installed skype on my computer and couldn't figure out where the tray icon went after i closed the main window so I started playing around with all my taskbars and stuff. Being new to ubuntu and all (I'm using version 11.04 with the gnome theme) i accidentally deleted the Skype icon, my windows list on the bottom and everything up top. I successfully restored my windows list and have system monitor so i can easily kill skype if i accidentally restore it (i haven't been able to figure out how to restore the icon up there) and got rid of all my stuff in the top right corner. Upon reboot everything returned except for my shutdown/restart/log off list which i loved (it fit in esthetically and had all the options).
I have noticed that Kupfer will not show up in the system tray in Kubuntu 11.04. I also had this problem with Linux Mint 11 GNOME.Because of this,I cannot access the Kupfer preferences

I have a gateway, p 7915u with an nvidia 260gtx graphics card. im trying to install ubuntu 9.10 64-bit on it but the screen keeps flickering before I can even install it or try without change.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIn Ubuntu some applications can be set to minimize instead of exit on close. For example, Empathy minimizes to the system tray (mail icon) when the close button is pressed in the application window. How do I make Evolution do this as well?
Essentially I would like to have Evolution hidden in the system tray instead of having to re-launch it every ten minutes to check for new messages (or leave it open and clutter the taskbar).
I installed Skype only because it is necessary to Pidgin to handle the Skype service/protocol. I use Pidgin for many protocols included the IRC, so I don't need Skype icon in the system tray at all. Honestly I hate Skype, but unfortunately it seems that all the world use it. how to take off that terrible icon/indicator/applet from the systray. I searched in all system to find a configuration file, I opened few named Skype using vi to avoid to damage them, but I have not found nothing interesting for my scope. PS: don't tell me how I will switch on or off Skype, because a plug-in of Pidgin do it w/o user interaction.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.10, fairly fresh install. The order of the icons in the system tray changes each time I reboot. It's worked fine since install a few weeks ago until today when I booted and the wireless wouldn't connect. I rebooted and they came up in a different order so I rebooted again and the order changed yet again. Maybe I should just keep rebooting until I find an order I'm happy with then never switch my machine off.I've attached a printscreen to show what I mean.
View 9 Replies View RelatedSince I installed Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick in a new computer (my lab's computer), there are three broken icons in the system tray. They are black rectangles, with white borders, and a forbidden sign in the middle. I can't figure out what program is related to them, and they don't respond to left or right click. Can anyone point me in some direction? I thought about using programs like xprop/xwininfo to figure out what program they are related to and kill it, but these don't work for system tray, only for windows.

I am using Ubuntu 10.10 32-bit with a GNOME Environment.
I have Thunderbird setup with the minimize to tray add on. I have it setup to start on boot but I would like it to start and then minimize to the system tray without me having to manually minimize it. I just can't figure it out. I have mounted a windows share with smbfs and it is in the fstab file but when the computer boots I have to type in terminal
[code]...
then terminal asks me for root password and then another box comes up after that that just says password. In the second password box it doesnt matter what you type in it will still mount. Even leaving it blank mounts. I read in some other threads about editing rc.local and also visudo. Neither one of those fixed it. I also made a script to run the above command and then added it to system>preferences>startup applications. That didn't work either.
I don't know what I did, or maybe it was some update. I'm running Kubuntu Maverick 64-bit. Kmix in system tray disappeared. Sometimes it shows up after some long time, but I haven't seen it for the last month. Kmix process still runs, and it takes one entire thread of my Intel i3 processor. Killing kmix and restarting it does not change anything. Sound applications work as expected, but I cannot change volume. They work well also when I kill kmix. When I invoke kmix from xterm, I get the following messages:
Code:
QMetaObject::invokeMethod: No such method KMixApp::

At the same time, phonom complains that some devices have disappeared (they do not show up in other places anymore):

What should I do to get my mixer back?
I'm using Natty, and I would like to get email notifications in the system tray area. I have all the correct settings marked, and I read that Evolution needs to be running for the notifications to work so I installed this:[URL].. Nothing works. Evolution will not tell me when I have new emails. If I open Evolution it works fine.
