Ubuntu :: KDE: Enforcing Desktop Margins?
May 31, 2011
I don't think I've messed up my settings because this is happening on both my computers. But it is still always a possibility. When I open a program, whether by command-line or by clicking somewhere, the windows don't always open completely inside the available desktop space. I mean the total space minus the task bar along the bottom. Firefox always opens with the bottom margin unreachable. kdenlive opens half out of the screen towards the right and the bottom. It is easy to drag them back where they belong, but always having to do this, with eventually a resize needed, to see the whole window of the program is getting tedious

I've been trying to get SELinux working in OpenSUSE 11.2. So far I can get to runlevel 3 with enforcing=0. Before I start tinkering with audit2allow, The 11.2 repository gives me these policy rpms:
[URL]
But that version of policy has some issues in OpenSUSE:
1) failure to allow the graphical desktop to load (even with enforcing=0) . The following message appears in the console during boot:
** (gdm:1073): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to system bus: A SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had sender "(unset)" interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello" erro name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus") startproc: exit status of parent of /usr/sbin/gdm: 1 Since enforcing is off, I'm surprised to see a message like that. SELinux shouldn't be preventing anything, so I don't see how modifying policy will solve that. Ideas?
2) Attempting to boot to runlevel 5 with kernel parms "security=selinux selinux=1 enforcing=0", I'm dropped off in runlevel 3 instead. I'm getting a couple of pages of AVC errors after boot (see below). I've tried several other versions of the policy without luck:
- the version included in Fedora 12 (refpolicy-2.2009117
- the latest release from Tresys
- the latest from the repository at Tresys
[Code]....

I must be losing it because I can't seem to find my answer on the google mechine. I need to enforce password complexity in ubuntu. I need min length, upper case, number and or special characters. I don't want to have to install pam_cracklib on all these boxes. I have looked at he common-password and it's not much.

I tried to log in to my xguest account and it asked for a password, which it shouldn't, so there's a problem with SELinux.When I type getenforce it says it is disabled, yet when I go to /etc/selinux and look at the config, it is in enforcing mode and not commented out, type is strict.When I go to the SELinux management GUI I can't change the current enforcing mode and it's set to disabled and default to enforcing.

I am using RHEL 5.4 in VMware. Recently i have made changes in /etc/sysconfig/selinux and made it to be in "enforcing mode". Now when I rebooted my system, It is showing the following error:
"Unable to load SELinux Policy. machine is in enforcing mode.
Kernel panic- not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"

I am having trouble converting a latex file to pdf with the precision I am looking for. I want strict control of the margins for both the outputted pdf and the printed page but currently it looks like there is a discrepancy between the two. I set the margins with the geometry package, i.e.
Code:
usepackage[left=.5in,right=.5in,top=.5in,bottom=.5in]{geometry} and then have tried converting to pdf by both the dvipdf route and the dvips --> ps2pdf route. All of these output files look identical through evince, however when I physically print the pdf the margins are roughly double the size I want. When I print the ps version the margins are exactly what I want. Therefore I expect the problem is obviously in ps2pdf.
I am printing on letter paper (8.5 x 11), which I have tried to explicitly set using
Code:
ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=letter foo.ps
with no luck.
My goal is to have a pdf for the sake of compatibility. I also do not want to use pdflatex for various reasons. Does anyone have any idea why this would be happening? What options have to be set that I don't know about. I tried searching around for a while but mostly found solutions involving a mistake papersize (a4 vs letter) changes, so sorry if this is RTFM.

I have a small office network here which consists of three machines running Fedora 10 and a dev server running CentOS 5.2. I have no Windows machines, and have no intention of having any. I would like to use the CentOS server as the Linux equivalent to a domain controller in Windows. Use case is simple - I will still have a local root account on each machine, obviously, but I want the three staff users to be network accounts. I want them (like a Windows domain) to be able to login on any computer using their network user credentials and *not* have local credentials on any computer.
I've been Googling like mad on this, but I can't find a definitive answer or a sensible HOWTO for this use case in Linux. Others have suggested I do it all in Samba, but I cannot find an example Samba configuration that behaves as I describe above. Another article I found suggested OpenLDAP.I'm lost. What's the best way to do this with a CentOS controller machine and Fedora 10 workstations? Can anyone point me to some good resources on the matter?

I have set up an HP 5M networked printer. The test page works fine, and the defaults are all set correctly. But when I try to print from my own java programs, the paper size is set to letter, and the margins are all set to 2.54 mm. I can change the paper size to A4 (but I have to do it EVERY time). And the margins won't even let me change them. I type in 0, click in the next field, and the value changes straight back to 2.54. It has been this way for at least the last two releases of Ubuntu.

I have an HP Deskjet D1460. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and HPLIP 3.10.2 that came with the distro. I am in a plan of moving my windows PC to ubuntu in my bussiness, and this is the first of them. Trying to solve all the problems before converting a second one. All seems to work quite well and almost out of the box... and that is a huge step from the last distro i tryied 2 years ago. So, my difficulty now resides on the printing. I am using a small VFox program that manage some of the aspects of the bussiness, in wine. It works without problems, but... when I print, all the pages get printed like 1cm below than when it was printed under windows. The problem is, that I use the printer to fill some forms that came pre-printed, and now, I am printing over the other text instead of the white spaces. I read a little, and try to adjust the HWMargins and the ImageableArea in the ppd of /etc/cups/ppd/ but it was like if I was doing nothing. Do I miss a step? Do I need to restart a service or something after changing the ppd? The margings when using the printer gui from Ubuntu are all in 0, and for that i need like a minus something.

Since upgrading to openSUSE 11.4 (x86_64) KDE: 4.6.3 I find that any changes made in the KDE Printer --> Properties --> Margins dialogue with Konqueror, Kate, Kwrite, etc. are not persistent. Such changes are persistent in openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) KDE: 4.4.4.
Consequently I must open the Printer --> Properties --> Margins dialogue and change the default margin setting (4.23 mm) four times (TBLR) for each print job.
A similar issue with non-persistent duplex printing was solved by installing system-config-printer but that does not provide an option to reset the default margin settings.
I have made the usual searches and checked the printer pages in the SDB. There are some related bug reports on openSUSE, KDE and QT bug tracking systems that make interesting reading (!) but I did not find a user level solution for non-persistent margins.
How are the default KDE print margins set and can they be changed?

I'm trying to print a PDF from Evince it don't work at all...
When I try to print in grayscale it send a blank paper to the printer...When I try to print anything in color I can't change the margin of the paper, it always put like ZERO margin and the text go throw the end of the paper.
The paper size is A5 (Half A4) and the printer is in LAN in a Windows computer.
It's me or when I print in grayscale it print faster? So, it's an update or something? Because last time I printed from Ubuntu (like a month ago) it printed perfectly OK in grayscale (I don't know about the margin).

I use kate for almost all my text editing (not word processing). I love it, but it defaults to margins that don't work on my printers. Things get cut off at the top and bottom of the page. The printer works fine with all my other applications - most of those allow the margins to be set in the application.
In kate, I can go to printer properties and set the margins to something that will work, but I have to do it every time I print.
Is there some way around this?
I read some posts elsewhere about using enscript. I know how to do that, but not from within kate.

With the printer I am using, the text always extends part of the way into the margins, resulting in it getting cut off. Is there any way to change the margins for a printer?

I'm working on getting my myth box hooked up to my Sony flat panel display.Originally the nvidia drivers could not read the EID, so defaulted to only 640x480 over my HDMI-DVI connection.I manually updated xorg.conf with a mode for the resolution I know the thing can handle. Suddenly there are several resolutions avaialble in nvidia-settings and it seems to be communicating with the TV, as it is now listed as a Sony FP display rather than a CRT.I'm able to change the resolution now as expected.my problem, however, lies with the TV itself. I can't seem to get it to actually display the output. I'm able to remote desktop into the box and can see Gnome logged in and everything.However nothing on the TV itself.How do I troubleshoot this? Am I missing something obvious?

I want to make a live-USB containing among others both Ubuntu desktop i386 and Ubuntu desktop AMD64. How do I go about this? I tried using unetbootin, first adding i386 and then amd64, but that failed. My computer with an athlon II did manage to boot, and showed it had booted into the 64-bit version (ram shown was 3.9 GB, i386 goes to about 2.7 I think), my wife's computer with a pentium 4 did not manage to boot, got to a black screen. I think this is because casper has issues, being overwritten (I'd seen something to that effect somewhere), and thus only the latest version added being booted (in this case amd 64).
I'm under the impression that the startup disc creator included won't help, nor won't the multicd.sh script, so how do I circumvent the issues?

1. Is it possible to instead of using the Desktop Folder plasmoid, have a usual Desktop act as a file manager?
2. What is Akondi? There are tons of processes which have Akonadi in their name, and it seems to be using up lots of memory.Can I disable these somehow, or is it safe to do so?
3. Any general tips on how to reduce the amount ram that is used on startup? I am using somewhere around 750MB on startup, which is about double the amount Gnome uses. After a few hours of use, Xorg uses close to 1GB of memory.
4. Whenever I get a notification, they don't delete themselves, so when I click on the (i), I see tons of notifications. Is there a way to get them to delete themselves after they have been shown?

I have my main box, Ubuntu 10.04lts, and I am trying to use remote desktop viewer to see the desktop on a Windows XP machine. The machines are side by side The Ubuntu box is hardwired to my network router, and the XP machine is connected via wireless. Both get to the internet fine, and I can ping the Ubuntu box from the XP box. But, I cannot ping the XP box from the Ubuntu box, and Remote Desktop Viewer won't establish a connection to the VNC server I have running on the XP box.

EVERY SINGLE TIME when I try to close the Nautilus File Browser (ie when I go to my Documents folder), the desktop flashes all the icons on the desktop a couple of times (for a sec you would see no icons on the desktop) before everything goes back to normal.

I have my Unity desktop just how I like it, but sometimes I like to log in to the Gnome (Ubuntu Classic) desktop. However, I was playing around with CCSM while in Gnome and I've totally messed it up, I have the Gnome panels and also the Unity launcher, it's a total mess. Is there a way to reset my Gnome desktop to default without affecting my Unity desktop?

Looking for a light desktop for a P3/512MB I installed xubuntu and I felt it slow. For a test, just tried installing lubuntu and it was so fast compared to xubuntu. The word here is I would like to move to xfce. Doing another test, I installed Debian Lenny + xfce and was way much faster than xubuntu.
My question: Can I install Ubuntu Desktop command only + xfce ? Is it going to be faster than xubuntu? Is there another recommendation for a debian based distro with xfce which runs faster than xubuntu?

While I was trying to drag the Desktop icon to the places sidepane in nautilus file browser so that I can have it above Documents icon, I accidentally dropped it in Documents icon. I immediately deleted the "Desktop" shortcut that was created in "/home/user/Documents" but it was too late already and the damage has been done. When I try to create a new document on my desktop, it says "Error while coying to Desktop There was an error getting information about the destination. Show more details Error stating file '/home/user/Documents/' Desktop':No such file or directory" Now, I know that my desktop now is pointing me to a location in Documents folder which doesn't exist at all. I tried looking for any available settings/options in gconf-editor, but only in vain.

I can't remotely access my desktop when the desktop is asking for a keyring password. Why does this happen? it means that remote access is useless because you would need to enter the password locally before you can vnc to it. I do not wish to disable the default keyring but is there a way of making vnc work so I can enter the password.

I guess I messed around with Unity on Ubuntu 11 a bit too much without knowing too much about it. Here's what's been happening: I chose the 'cube' setting in CCSM, but after switching to it, Unity crashed. So I rebooted and X11 started, but no Unity. Which means no window borders or anything.
how I could set it up again? I disabled the login-screen, as I'm the only user, so I guess I have no chance to simply choose Gnome for example to boot into a full-featured desktop.
