Ubuntu :: Kubuntu: How To Get A Plain (no Image) Task Bar
Jul 2, 2010
Kubuntu 10.04, how do you get rid of the background image for the bar? I want my desktop functional and not visually interesting. The taskbar (sorry I forget the correct name) background makes it much harder to see the useful content, especially the icon for selecting between desktops, that uses the same shades as the default image.
I took a few google searches and a bunch of experiments just to get rid of the image (in favor of a solid color) for the main desktop. That dialog was not where I expected it and I wasted lots of time in dialogs for configuring the desktop appearance that don't offer that basic option. But I did find it. That still leaves an image as background for the bar, and I have no clue how to get rid of that image.

I have seen tutorials all over the web on how to use this, but I can't find the Task Scheduler anywhere on my system. I'm using 9.10.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

XP Pro SP3
Ubuntu 9.10
Kubuntu 9.10
Tri-booting. They were installed in the order I listed above. I ran into a few bugs with Kubuntu, so I no longer want to use it. I want to use GParted on a LiveCD to format Kubuntu and expand my Ubuntu home partition to sit on top of Kubuntu's space right now. If I nuke Kubuntu, will Grub still exist with my Ubuntu/XP entries to boot?

I would like to apply KDE on my Kubuntu because the current one blew up. But each time I to sudo get-apt it seems to be fetching from the cloud. Is there a way I can make it to read from my local Kubuntu CD? I have both Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Kubuntu Live CDs.
I believe the local disk read should be faster to translate than to bite the bytes across thousands of miles over the wire right?

I've been using openoffice.org a lot recently and I was hoping that I'd be able to cat the contents of the file solely through the terminal.What's the best way to do this? My thought is to use a command in a terminal to convert to plain text and cat the file.

With the gpg command I used to encrypt files so they saved as plain text (the encrypted files were viewable in a plain text editor though were a encrypted nightmare)
I just forget the option in the gpg command to do this and I can't find it in a hurry either in the man file

I used synaptic package manager and downloaded E16 (enlightenment)
Then I found out I couldn't get back into gnome without it. It puts its little windows in gnome EVEN when I select session "GNOME" without the -E16 tagged on.
I tried to remove it but that removes all the window borders title and minimize, close, maximize buttons(When I log out and back in)
Then I tried restarting would not boot back into ubuntu until I reinstall E16 in a new created account in root. Its got me trapped and I really do not want to reinstall..

I recently installed Xubuntu on a 5+ year-old Acer Aspire laptop. In spite of how the root, swap and home are volumes in an LVM2 group on top of a fully-encrypted harddisk, it's quite swift this computer isn't for me, however; it's for my old man. It's been my pet project for the past few weeks, as an exercise in making Linux both highly secure and user-friendly, so that even a technophobe like him could use it without fear of identity theft if it ever gets lost or stolen. I recently shipped it off to him...
The weakest part of security, however, I fear may be the screensaver, which is why I ask. I've searched and searched and cannot manage to find any information on security hardening practices (apart from banal advice such as "always choose a secure password" and "never log in to an X-session as root"). What I want to know is, just how safe is a locked screen? Also...is it technically possible with the right tools to get a core dump of a running computer and thus extract the block device encryption key from memory? I know that your run-of-the-mill thief will just try hitting the power button and throwing in a livedisk, but hey, you never know. Edit: found. [URL] I guess I need to tell him how to set the BIOS password to thwart that sort of thing next time I talk to him on the phone...

I've got a batch of MOV format videos, I want to convert them to the MP4 format (I've heard these two are similar, and MP4 is more plain form of MOV?). Can I do this in Fedora? I've also heard that converting from MOV is generally difficult.

I am really not very Linux savy. Have been using Karmic for about a year and wanted to test Lucid NBR on my netbook by running it from a USB stick first. Had loads of problems and bugs with it - However even an idiot like me can work out most of them. However I am suffering from this bug (I think)

Basically, I have a selection of .rdp shortcuts to various machines, but they are considered the file type "plain text document (text/plain)" so if I change it to open with to tsclient, all of that file type opens with tsclient. And if I change it to gedit, all the rdp files open with gedit. Is there a way to create a custom file type dependent on the extension rdp, or is there a way to set tsclient to open by extension rather than filetype?

I just had my pc updated with the latest Ubuntu 11.04.. but since im very curious with the new appearance (which i think really nice and neat), i started to configure Compiz and opened the 'compiz configuration setting manager'.
since i thought it was OK, i just changed the desktop configuration to 'Desktop cube' just like on my previous Ubuntu (10.10).. and i just clicked to change to desktop cube whatever popped there to confirm it.
but later i found i can't open any programs anymore, just plain wallpaper on my 'desktop'.

I somehow managed to screw up my lucid lynx system so that all files show up under Nautilus properties as Type Plain Text. When I double click a file, any file, the system tries to open it as plain text with gedit. Everything worked correctly until yesterday when I tried to install a new version of PyQt4. If I reboot with an old (karmic) version of Ubuntu and bring up Nautilus Properties on the same file (my data partition can be opened in other OS's) the files show up with the correct file type (PDF, ODT, etc) So the problem is not in the file itself, but rather in the lucid OS, which is mis-interpreting the file type. As I said I somehow messed it up when installing the new version of PyQt4.

i have a big file of random numbers i generated at some point in time, after working with it with different things(how fun that was)... i want to remove duplicate lines and i'm not sure i'm doing this right
heres the command
Code:
sort random.txt | uniq -u > rand-shorter.txt
the file is pretty big, everything on a new line. i found the command on a web site so i'm sure its correct(bit of a command line in linux newbie)
can anyone confirm if this will remove lines duplicate lines (keeping one copy) and dump what is left in a file named rand-shorter.txt?
EDIT: i think its actually working, just taking a reallllly long time (on an old pen 4 from 2000)

When I print receipts from certain company's emails, they span three pages or more bloated with images, links and overly large text. I can view the message in plain text by setting the preferences to only display text instead of html, but it doesn't affect what is printed. I still get the full HTML page printed. Is there a way to force evolution to print in plain text instead of HTML?

How to easily convert to/from plain machine-readable HEX (without anpaddings/offsets/character view) with xdd or hexdump?I'm tired of digging of some special format strings (and finding out that it suddenly starts wrapping lines after N characters or skip lines) or writing Perl oneliners every time.Why is it not as simple as base64/base64 -d?

I want to setup Exim to only allow sending mail from the localhost and externally with Plain authentication. I know I should use TLS but not all software supports TLS, I want Exim to use its own userpass file not the local system.
