Ubuntu :: Launch Manager Not Visible?

May 29, 2011

I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 on a USB stick, using the Universal USB installer.
I managed to boot from USB but one of the problems seems that the new launch manager, I think it's part of unity, is not visible. I tried pushing the mouse pointer to the left edge of the screen but the launcher does not appear.

I did go into system settings -> Launcher and Menus and all seems fine.

Ubuntu Installation :: No Launch Bar Visible After Restart

Sep 22, 2010

This 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?

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Network Manager Not Visible In Panel?

Dec 16, 2010

New to 10.04, not to Ubuntu. Fresh install of 10.04, recommended proprietary nVidia driver installed because text rendering in Firefox is terribly with the 'standard' non-proprietary driver.Also new to Vodafone / Huawei modems. My previous experience with a Vodafone modem (type unknown) was with 9.04 when I helped my daughter-in-law fixing her Windows computer. It worked out of the box from the live CD and she is now a happy Ubuntu user

Optimistically, I recently bought a Vodafone K3765 modem as backup for my standard internet connection. I eventually got that to work after installing the USB mode switcher. So no it works out-of-the-box experience here Problem:The network manager (I assume that is what it is called; little antenna with signal strength indicator is not visible in the panel (right top). It is there but it's only one pixel or so wide (at occasion a one pixel wide vertical line occurs at the position where it is supposed to be). So when I want to connect I have to click a number of times in the panel till I hit it and the menu shows. Once it is visible, it will stay visible till the user logs off.

Ubuntu :: Network Manager Icon Isn't Visible On The Top Panel?

Jul 15, 2010

I have had a bit of experience with previous distros but I am pretty much a newbie. So I setup 10.04 but I can't get my net to connect. It's working fine on Win7 (posting from it). It's a dsl connection. I use an ethernet wire to connect to the net.

I opened terminal and used the 'sudo pppoeconf' command and followed the instructions. This is how I used to get my net working on previous distros but it dosen't seem to work in 10.04. The terminal says that my connection is active but it isn't. The network manager icon isn't visible on the top panel.

Ubuntu :: Audio CD's Not Visible

Sep 8, 2010

I have installed Ubuntu for a friend and find that on that installation Audio CD's are not automatically visible.

Data CD's appear fine and audio CDs are visible with some software (e.g. with RipperX) but they are not visible in the file system and cannot be played directly (e.g. with RythmBox).

With my installation of Ubuntu (also 10.4), as soon as I insert an audio-CD, I am prompted as to whether I want to open the CD with RythmBox. This does not happen with the other installation.

Does anyone have any tips here? Do audio-CD's demand that a certain package is installed for them to be visible/playable?

PS: I have recently changed the DVD-drive to a CD-drive. Do I need to re-declare the drive parameters?

Ubuntu :: Folder Visible In 10.4 Not In Win 7?

I have a folder on a fat32 partition that is mounted in both os's on my system.(Ubuntu 10.4 and Win 7) When I go to windows 7 the partion is mounted but I can not find the Music Folder on the drive. When i have it booted in linux I have access to the Music folder. The last change on my system I made was I ran edna-0.6 for a day so I could stream the contents of the folder. I need to figure out how to get access to these in windows again.

Ubuntu :: Menu Not Visible On Panel?

May 20, 2010

Ubuntu 10.04 I removed the Me Menu from the panel and then put it back (right click -> Add to Panel -> Indicator Applet Session). The Me Menu came back, but my name is not on the panel. When the Me Menu came back it was just a small blank on the panel next to the Power Button. There was no name, no icon, no nothing to tell me that was the Me Menu. In fact, I only accidentally found it when I happened to click in that blank space. I checked to see if there was any sort of Preferences setting for the Me Menu so I could get it to display my name for me to click on (like it did before), but could not see a setting like that. How can I make the Me Menu to be more visible than just a blank spot on the panel?

Ubuntu :: Nm-applet Not Visible In Xfce?

I'm trying to switch from my legacy network configuration scripts (/etc/network/interfaces) to NetworkManager, but I haven't been able to start the nm-applet in Xfce. I'm running 10.04 with the latest updates. I have purged and reinstalled all NetworkManager related packages and still nothing.

If I start nm-applet from a console, I get the following output:

Ubuntu Installation :: No Partitions Are Visible?

Aug 28, 2010

I have a machine (Asus P4PE + 120GB SATA HDD) which has been running Karmic very successfully for a long time. I recently made the decision to upgrade to Lucid via the Update Manager. The upgrade seemed to go OK - no obvious errors - but the resulting version of Lucid had some weird problems: desktop messed-up, printers wouldnt work any more, etc. So I concluded I had been unlucky - the upgrade had gone wrong and I tried to install Lucid afresh from a CD.

Every time I try this, the install gets to the page to specify partitions but this page is blank. No partitions are visible. The buttons to create a partition, etc. are all greyed-out. I have tried various boot options like removing quiet splash, setting noapic/nolapic, etc. but nothing seems to work. I can happily run Lucid from the CD, no problem. I have also checked I have not got RAID accidentally installed, as mentioned elsewhere on this forum.

I am able to reinstall Karmic so I know theres a filesystem there but the Lucid installer cannot see it. Any suggestions on how to proceed very welcome!

At the moment my only option seems to be to regress to Karmic.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Only 1/ 6 Of My Music Visible?

Nov 24, 2010

I just installed Banshee v1.80 on Ubuntu 10.10 and was looking to import my music from my external HD. I pluged the HD in and copied all of the music in it to my music folder, (ALL 2,604 SONGS).I then went into banshee and set the folder for my music library to be /home/matt/Music, where i put THE 2,604 SONGS.Banshee started to scan the songs, all the way up through THE 2,604th. After it was finished i navigated to all music in the banshee side pane and there was only 394.

After some research i found that this was because only 394 of the songs actually had .mp3 or a similar extension at the end of the file name.I've spent the past hour trying to figure out how to either append the appropriate extension to all the files, or how to get banshee to see the files without any extension, to no avail.

Ubuntu Servers :: Make Visible For WAN ?

Jan 16, 2011

I downloaded Ubuntu Server. I absolutely love it. It is easy to set up and I've already learned alot while doing so.

Now, I want to get a bit further. I want my Ubuntu Server to be accessible from the internet, so I can access my files and webpages from everywhere.

Everything works locally, but I don't have any clue to maken it visible for WAN. Is everything from here set in the router settings? Or will I also have to make adjustments in the Server's settings?

Ubuntu Networking :: Server Not Visible From Outside

May 3, 2011

I've been searching around the internet for the last two days trying to solve this problem, because I know how much everyone hates people who ask questions without looking first. Alas, I haven't found anything.

I have Ubuntu Server 11.04 running on a spare machine, which I've configured and got running just fine. I am trying to set up an IRC server on this machine for some friends of mine using UnrealIRCd. I have built and configured the server program, and am able to run it. Anyone who is connected to my home router (wirelessly or hard-wired) can connect to the server while it is up using either the internal IP, external (router) IP, or the dyndns.org name which is tied to the external IP.

However, anyone outside my home network cannot connect to the server. I DO have ports 6660-6669 forwarded on my router (IRC standard port is 6667). When connected to an external network, I cannot join the server by using the external IP, nor the DNS name.

I also have OpenSSH set up on the server machine, and have port 22 forwarded on my router. I CAN ssh into my server machine from within my home network, and I CAN ssh into my server machine from an external network.

Strangely, I can successfully ping my DNS name from inside my network, but not from outside. This doesn't make sense to me considering I am able to successfully ssh into the machine.

Ubuntu :: Unity Not Visible After Upgrade?

Jul 30, 2011

I am a competent Linux user for a little over a couple years now, having run several versions of Fedora, Mint, Xubuntu, and others for about a month before settling on The Ubuntu Netbook Remix when it was version 9.10. Loved it. Used it as long as I could until I was informed that my version could no longer be supported. So I went to 10.04, and used that for a while... but didn't know at the time that I could switch between desktop environments... and it stuck me with the classic view. This was OK, but I'm using an Asus Netbook (1005PE)... And sorely missed the Netbook UI.

So I went and upgraded to Version 10.10. Mutter was a MESS. It was so choppy and unpredictable I only used it a few times before getting frustrated and switching back to the classic compiz UI.

But I still like the idea behind the UI, so I downloaded and ran the 11.04 version live off a flash drive (I LOVE that ability!)... and Unity worked fine. I actually liked it. So I upgraded to version 11 and booted up to find that Unity is not visible.

I can log in to the classic view just fine... But logging in under Unity will display the background and provide seemingly full functionality (If I know where to click!), but I can't actually see the UI until I click an invisible button. Once I do that, the program or menu alone becomes visible, and works fine. I just can't see Unity.
