I have my 10.10 Unity completely installed, working just fine. I reboot and presto all of my launch bar icons have sequential numbers that weren't there before. Anyone know how to remove the numbers.

I recently installed Windows Bookshelf through Wine and although the Bookshelf Icon appears in Applications, I cannot drag and drop it onto the new Unity Launch Bar in Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal). Is there a way of adding Icon's of this nature to the Unity Launch Bar?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to edit the themes in Ubuntu with more control then with the Customize feature? Customize lets you change the all the icons and folder icons to a particular set of icons but does not allow you to individually specify what icons to use for folders and file icons and what icons to use for the icons on the top launch panel that are on the right side of the panel by default like the Bluetooth Icon, UPS Battery status icon temperature and current condition icon in the calendar. Older versions of Ubuntu gave the user more control over how the launch panel looked, I thought I remembered an option to use 3-D icons on the launch panel in older versions of Ubuntu.

So far the only way i have managed to do this is by adding "nautilus &" to the "autostart.sh", however, this, of course, launches an instance of the nautilus file browser.Can anyone help me to get Nautilus to draw the desktop automatically at startup without having to first launch the file manager?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know how to change the Unity Launch icons file association. For example; when i click the 'Files and Folders' icon and the side menu pops up with recent, favorites, etc. I click any of them and they associate those files or folders with Vuze. It also associates the trash can at the bottom of the menu, and any external hdd that i attach; but this only occurs when i open them through the Unity Launch Bar. I can go to the Home icon and open a folder and they open, or open the hdd off the desktop and its fine. It seems to only happen when i try to open them through Unity.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Ubuntu and noticed that there are two tool bars.The one at the top says applications, places, system and then there is also one at the bottom.Is it possible to have just a single toolbar that has a "start button", "quick launch icons" and open applications?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have some files, named E000.svg, E001.svg, E002.svg, ... E07D.svg, E07E.svg, E07F.svg . When I open them in Nautilus, and choose the option Sort Alphabetically, they are sorted:
E000.svg
E00A.svg
E00B.svg
E00C.svg
E00D.svg
E00E.svg
E00F.svg
E001.svg
E01A.svg
E01B.svg
and so on.
This is totally useless for me, so I searched for a solution in Google, and found lots of bug reports. It looks like it's a 'feature' for sorting 10 after 9; but clearly they have forgot that many people don't like or don't need that option. Thinking it was a Nautilus thing, I installed Thunar, but it has the exact useless algorithm. And then I installed PCManFM, but it's also the same. If I can install a file manager that correctly sorts my files? Or will I need to switch to Windows to have it fixed? (not joking here, Windows Explorer doesn't suffer from this feature).
I currently use cp to backup data. I prefer it over rsync. I use the -b switch to make a backup of data and recently found you can use --backup=t to create numbered backups.Using --backup=t means that I could end up having 100 versions of a file if I change it 100 times. With the -b switch I will only ever have 2 versions. Is it possible to limit the numbered backups to 5 for example? So I would only ever have 5 versions?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis should be easy but despite all the hints and tricks I've read, I cannot make this work. I have 130+ files with the names filename.avi.001, filename.avi.002, filename.avi.003 all the way up to filname.avi.132. How do I join them? A simple cat command does not work, neither does avimerge or any other utility I can find. I'm guessing because the file extension is a number and not .avi. Is there and easy way to rename them all and then join them? I can't be the only one with this issue but I've scoured the forums and found nothing.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm sure this is possible but I can't figure it out. I have a file formatted like this:
Code:
>SEQUENCE1
FGFD665:?@663:BBBBAA?A@<<4!1004699<7444399>???888455555?AAA?AABBB@@@<<<34
>SEQUENCE2
>&<4!1004699<7444399>???888455555?AAA?AABBB@@@<<<34BBB@@
>SEQUENCE3
???888455555?AAA?AABBB@@@<<<341004699<7444399>???888BBB@@
The odd-numbered lines containing >SEQUENCE# are the headers and the even-numbered lines containing a variety of characters represent DNA sequence read quality scores.
I want to replace all of the greater-than (">") symbols in the quality scores (even-numbered lines) with a "0" but I want to leave the greater-than symbols on the odd-numbered lines alone. I would just use sed -i '/^>/! s/>/0/g' $FileName but sometimes the quality scores begin with a ">" as well.
I'm sure there is a simple modification of a normal sed command with an "n" inserted somewhere but I can't figure it out.
I'm looking for a command to swap the even/odd numbered lines in a file. Example input file:
Code:
1
2
3
4
[code]...
Example output file:
Code:
2
1
4
3
[code]....
I'm sure there's a way to do it with sed, awk, grep and the like but it's been many years since I've used these commands on a daily basis and I can't seem to figure out the correct syntax.
i am reading a database flat file with the "awk" command which has 4 fields separated by colon ":" .I want to show the output of these fields in a certain way that every record is numbered e.g
1.some text
2.some text
Is there a way to do this?

View 4 Replies View RelatedThis is my second Ubuntu installation so I am not a pro. I downloaded and installed latest Ubuntu Desktop version (10.04.1 I think). Installation went fine without any problems until rebooting after completion. During shutdown the installation CD was ejected and some error occurred. I had to do a hard shut down in order to restart. Start and login no problem. The problem I have is that there is no Program/status bar visible (where Application, Places and System menues are). I tried to move the mouse around in order to see if menues are outside of screen but it's not.
The only thing I can do is:
- right-click to bring up "Create folder, launcher etc" menu
- press F1 to bring up Help screen
- press power button (on pc) to bring up shut down dialog
I search for some answers here and the only one I found wass SHIFT+F2 to bring som launch bar but that didn't work. Is there something wrong with the installation or am I missing some secret keycombinations to bring up program bar?
I have partitioned my hard drive into three parts: 1 lean section for windows 7 (50 gb), another section for ubuntu 11.04 (50 gb) and one final massive section for 'storage' (360-ish gb). I have been following the following guide to accomplish this process:I am lost in the final stages of the process. The article says that:"Ubuntu won't "mount," or make available, your Windows 7 and Storage drives on boot-up, however, and we at least want constant access to the Storage drive. To fix that, head to Software Sources in the System->Administration menu. From there go to Applications, then the Ubuntu Software Center at the bottom. Under the "Ubuntu Software" and "Updates" sections, add a check to the un-checked sources, like Restricted, Multiverse, Proposed, and Backports. Hit "Close," and agree to Reload your software sources."
I completed this but I did not get the "reload your software sources" option. Then the article says:"Finally! Head to the Applications menu and pick the Ubuntu Software Center. In there, search for "ntfs-config," and double-click on the NTFS Configuration Tool that's the first result. Install it, then close the Software Center. If you've got the "Storage" or Windows 7 partitions mounted, head to any location in Places and then click the eject icon next to those drives in the left-hand sidebar. Now head to the System->Administration menu and pick the NTFS Configuration Tool."I was able to install NTFS Config. However, when I click on it and enter my administrative password, it does not launch.
I do not know how to get around this, I did some research online but was not able to find any solutions.I do not fully understand what ntfs config will accomplish, but I think it has something to do with accessibility to the storage partition from both windows 7 AND linux.The article says:"You'll see a few partitions listed, likely as /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2, and the like. If you only want your storage drive, it should be listed as /dev/sda3 or something similar--just not the first or second options. Check the box for "Add," click in the "Mount point" column to give it a name (Storage, perhaps?), and hit "Apply." Check both boxes on the next window to allow read/write access, and hit OK, and you're done. Now the drive with all your stuff is accessible to Windows and Linux at all times."
I already restored regular icons by going to gconf. However, the icons on top right where the "power" button is located, still have no icons. Is there any way to add icons to the hibernate/ shut down , etc words?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm completely new to the Linux OS. It is very foreign to me, i'm very used to the way windows does everything, including how windows does installation. I know that Linux doesn't understand .exe files like windows does... which is part of the problem. I have a linux zip file of a program (Jgrasp) that I want to install. I unzipped it into my home file and then wanted to run the program, but I have no idea what to do next. How the heck do I run the program if i can't access the .exe's what files launch a program in linux?Also how do i get it to recognize the JDK files?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI installed GRE test preparation software prepare by Cambridge University Press on Ubunuto 10.4 using wine. My laptop has two partition, one has windows C: and the other is E: has Ubuntu.
By default, it get installed C:admgr , unless stated otherwise. I didn't change this setting. After installation, a message pops up that:
double click the program icon ....
But I didn't find any icon on the desktop (which is the case in windows) nor any link for application section of the ubuntu. Installation is done correctly, but I cannot launch the program due to unavailability of the icon.
I have looked into the directory admgr, but couldn't find anything except there are two exe files. One is for uninstalling and the other 'CADM.exe'. I don't know what is for.
I also tried the changing of directory from C: to :homeadeelgre in the ubuntu partition. The software shows that files being copied to the directory mentioned above but on checking it later, I found out that directory is empty!!
E:Type '--2010-06-27' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list, E:The list of sources could not be read.
The above message laughs at me. Anyway, looked through the forums, couldn't find a problem similar to mine.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid not on a separate disc partition but installed right on my Windows (7) partition. Everything was working fine until yesterday. I restarted my computer and then the system was scanning the disc then suddenly after the disc check, the computer restarted and when it was supposed to launch Ubuntu, the screen went completely white. I tried restarting again, I manage to get to where I choose to boot with Windows 7 or Ubuntu. I choose Ubuntu and the same happens again: white screen. It doesn't go any further than this and the only thing the computer can do is boot with Windows 7. Has anyone had the same problem? Also, is there a way I can access my files (saved in Ubunutu) from Windows? If I can manage to copy these files then I don't mind reformatting the whole disc.

I want to download and install Ubuntu to run alongside Windows 7 in a dual boot configuration. and downloaded the Windows Installer, but when I try to launch it I get an error message which I captured and attached to this post. What's really wierd is that once the message is displayed, I can't get rid of it. Even running the Task Manager to try to close the message doesn't work. I literally have to restart the computer to get rid of the message!
Am I suppose to be downloading the Windows Installer (Wubi) to a CD first where I run it from there? If so, the instructions don't mention that. Can't I download it directly to my C: drive and then run it from there? If so, why am I getting the error message?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've noticed that a lot of laptops these days have fast web access buttons that quickly launch a linux os, or recovery buttons that seem to launch some other stripped down os.
So I was wondering, would it be possible to get these buttons to launch a normal ubuntu distribution? Have one button for ubuntu and the normal power button for windows?
That would be really sweet for dualbooters.
Or is it just technically/physically not possible?
I just installed Natty, its ok so far. How can I keep applications from launching full screen? I know if I resize the window below 75% or some thing like that it does not start full screen however I need the window to launch at like 85% and not full screen. This is the most frustrating thing I don't know what Canonical was thinking. I put it in if you have to however make it easy to undo..
