Ubuntu :: Keeping Windows Open When Using "Show Desktop" Button?
Nov 19, 2010
I've created a custom profile for the terminal, and have edited CompizConfig to make it a transparent shell, so now my background is essentially now my terminal. However, when I click "Show Desktop", it minimizes everything, including this terminal. Would I be able to edit the setting for this so it keeps the terminal up

noticed that the button at the bottom left corner of the desktop doesn't work.It is supposed to hide everything on the desktop and when clicked again bring everything back.I was jacking around (learning) with Compiz yesterday, but not sure how that could affect it.

This is a super tiny detail that most people probably don't even notice, but why is the show desktop button icon cut off? It looks really weird.
I don't think it was like that in 9.10. Is there any way to fix it?

I have been trying to active the shortcut <Super>+D to minimize all active windows and show desktop. Compiz is already install on my system,that I have tried all possible combinations of "show desktop" functionality in Compiz and Gnome itself. However, whenever I use the shortcut, it activates(maximize) one window first, and it shows desktop if I use the shortcut second time. Actually same thing happens when I press the "show desktop" button on the panel as well

Why you put off the button in the left down corner to hide/show all windows? It is the must button! How can I return it back?

I'm using Opensuse 11.3 with KDE 4.4.4. When using the task switcher, only programs open on the current desktop are visible. I think it would be handy to have the Launch Bar work in the same fashion.
Is it possible to have the Launch Bar only show programs open on the current desktop?

I have an ESXi session i need to keep going because it kills the cp command when it logs out or times out. So I need something that can press enter in that window every 5 minutes.

Is there a Gnome keyboard shortcut to show all open windows?I'm shamefully running the Macbuntu skin and this will finally give me UI nirvana.

Is there a way for Kwin to Alt-tab only the windows on the current desktop, rather than all windows on every desktop?

I want hidden files to be hidden, so I open the folder that has the hidden files in it and select View, and untick "Show Hidden Files". However, when I access the folder again the box is ticked and the files are showing. How can I get it to stay hidden permanently?

I stream my local police station dispatch on the web using an icecast/darkice configuration [URL]. The downside of using this software is that once you initiate darkice, a terminal has to be open - the process does not run in the background.
I tried placing a monitor on my server (ouch, that hurt) and keeping darkice alive that way, but my mail server kicks the process. Now, I set the KeepAlive variable to something outrageous and keep an ssh session open on my desktop box to keep the stream going. Screen does not work as Postfix boots that as well.
keeping the process going indefinately?

I'm looking at an rc.sysinit:
# Remove stale backups
rm -f /etc/mtab~ /etc/mtab~~
# Enter root, /proc and (potentially) /proc/bus/usb and devfs into mtab.
mount -f /
mount -f /proc
mount -f /sys >/dev/null 2>&1
mount -f /dev/pts
I can't figure out what those "~"'s are doing. From the comments it's keeping mtab open to write the next (how many?) commands?

After a fresh installation of Ubuntu 10.10 I uninstalled empathy (im using skype). The empathy menu in the evolution indicator was gone after that.I also uninstalled gwibber. But the gwibber status indicator remains within the about-me panel... Uninstalling the gwibber package also removes the me-menu which I want to keep actually. Especially the shutdown/restart... part of it. See attachment.I know there is a shutdown panel-app...but its butt-ugly and it doesnt allow to logon/off.
In another thread I read that the gwibber status shouldnt be there if no account for it is configured... which it is not... I do use ubuntu-one though which is in the same menu... I saw that this issue was addressed at some bug report before, but not fixed yet...
Does anybody know a good workaround to get rid of the gwibber status in the panel while keeping the about me and the shutdown button?

I have read and read and googled for my specific problem and nothing exactly matches. I have a Nvidia 8400GS, running SuSe 11.1, kernel 2.6.27.45-0.1.1,, Nvidia Drivers 193.5, KDE 3.??. It seems like about every third or fourth time I boot up I have to rebuild and install the Nvidia drivers (the hard way). When I get up and running again, use the Nvidia Control panel and save the settings to Nvidiaxxxxxxx.RC file. Why does this keep happening, any suggestions or threads that might answer this problem?? Also I can't get my wallpapers to fill the desktop, they are tiled sometimes and I can't change them. One other thing is I am having trouble with the screensavers, they won't start, and I like to delete some of them?

Ok For some reason I open my ports in security and firewall. I open ssh and other ports and port 7001 for example but when I go to check to see if they are open or try to connect to them. It shows that they are still closed. I am using - [URL] Also yes my ports are open on my router. I know my router works fine with opening ports because I have shoutcast setup on another computer with xp that is currently running. I am willing to pay for who can ever get this fixed for me...
I open the ports in graphical mode.

I've finally had enough of Windows and have decided to go with Ubuntu. However I hope someone can help me with this query... I currently have a single hard drive which I have partitioned under Windows into two. The old C:drive holds software & the windows O/S and the D: drive is where I stored photos, documents, etc. Can you tell me if it is possible to install Ubuntu into the old C: partition and leave the d: partition in tact (for a few weeks to ensure I have backups of everything on here). Alternatively, if I add a new drive and install Ubuntu onto there, will I still be able to access the old D: partition (or would I need some kind of dual boot config)?

Ok so I have been using Ubuntu for a few months, but considering how I am a total noob at doing alot of things on it i wanna get some background info about a few things before I start screwing with it.1) On deviantart i see alot of people will totally customized desktops using something called GTK2, questions: how to get and how to use? (a nice tutorial page might help lol i cant seem to find it on google)
2) I have a computer running vista and I have Ubuntu installed onto it using Wubi. I am keeping the Windows because I need it to run the latest version of iTunes (unless wine can run it but I havent tried yet because my media folder is larger than the 30 gigs i have for ubuntu). I also want to keep my windows folders and Ubuntu folders completely seperate, so my question: is there a way to increase the partition size of Wubi to past 30 gigs? I have tried to use wubi-add-virtual-disk, but when i used it it successfully repartitioned but than i rebooted and it said that root.disk was missing and my entire Ubuntu was gone (lame i know). I also did all the recent updates from the update manager, but that shouldnt cause that problem should it?
2) a) lol if possible i would like to entirely create a new partition on my computer and install Ubuntu from there (simplifies alot of things), but i cant seem to shrink my existing hard drive... the max i can shrink is it 1.4 gigs. Does anyone know how to increase that space? (I have a 300 gig hard drive with 230 gigs free i wanna create a new partition with 210 gigs for ubuntu leaving windows with only 20 gigs of free space). I have looked at using Gparted to redo the partitions, but it destroys windows and I dont have a Vista reboot CD and cant get one cause i live in china o.o

I'm currently running ubuntu on my netbook, and vista on my desktop. Earlier i had an ubuntu installation alongside my vista, this has resaulted in my desktop making a countdown at booting. After the countdown it boots up vista. So i'm aware that there still are som leftovers from my earlier umuntu adventures.... here is my objective: I want to keep my vista installation intact, BUT i need to clear all earlier grub and ubuntu installations...and finally I want to install a fresh ubuntu 10.04.

I have a fubar'd Windows 7 install I need to get working on another partition so I can do some development stuff. I use Ubuntu 95% of the time though and so the machine has an option at boot for what OS I want to go into. Does anyone know if I boot up with the Windows disc in and choose the repair option if it will screw up my boot options and I potentially lose my ability to boot into Ubuntu?

I'm currently running a Vista machine, but would like to switch over to Linux, Ubuntu in particular. My question is can I switch over to Ubuntu, keep my Windows partition and use VirtualBox to access the pre-existing Windows partition? Or does VirtualBox require me to create a new install for Guest operating systems?
If not, are there any other free alternatives to accomplish this?
