Is there a way to lockdown the panels in xfce so they can't be edited? There used to be a way using an xfce kiosk mode but the documentation for it is really outdated and the files it references don't exist anymore.
See http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/kiosk_mode for the outdated documentation

View 4 Replies View RelatedI find that I prefer have both panels located at the screen top. That way I don't have to go to the bottom of the screen for one thing, then back to the top for another. I arranged the panel so the regular top one is on top,then the panel that contains the open applications is underneath.The problem is, when I reboot, the panels lose their order. First, the regular top panel initializes, then the bottom ones starts and pushes the first panel down, which becomes what you see in the picture: I would like to find a way to keep them in the opposite order of what you see in the picture, but every time I reboot they end up in that order.

Like for instance, if I have Ubuntu Lucid Lynx installed with XFCE, and it has an applications made for XFCE. will the applications also work on say some other distro like, Wolvix, that is an XFCE-based distro~????
What I am trying to say is: Do applications that are made for XFCE, work on ANY distro that has XFCE installed?
I just installed Linux Mint Debian Edition on my friend's laptop. The biggest problem is getting his iPhone 4 to mount. On libimobiledevice.org it shows a cool video of a guy managing his iPhone with Linux thanks to libimobiledevice. libimobiledevice.org also says libimobiledevice supports the iPhone 4. But when he plugs it in, he gets an error that says:
Quote: Unable to mount location: Unhandled Lockdown error (-5) It's a serious issue and needs to be resolved ASAP. ***EDIT*** If this is a hardware topic, any mods can feel free to move it.
Last week I attempted to install some software on my computer (on ubuntu) and I edited a couple of files now I can't update ubuntu. I get 2 error messages:
1. Not all updates can be installed.
- I select partial update
2.Could not calculate the upgrade
An unresolvable problem occurred while calculating the upgrade:
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.
This can be caused by:
* Upgrading to a pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Running the current pre-release version of Ubuntu
* Unofficial software packages not provided by Ubuntu
This is most likely a transient problem, please try again later.
How can I resolve this issue. I don't remember what files I edited to reverse the damage.
Is there any way to make an OpenOffice spread sheet open to the last cell that was edited? I have a friend that has a very large spreadsheet, and would like to have it open to where he left off, rather than cell A1. He says excel does, or can be made to do this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy PC running 11.04 was showing a blank screen after every 10 mins while watching BBC iplayer (with all the screensaver and power saver settings switched to over 1 hour). The picture returned when I moved the mouse but it was still annoying.
So I googled for a solution and found this page [URL]. Based on this, I did the following in terminal:
"sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
Then when the text editor came up, I deleted 'EndSection' from the xorg.conf file, and added the following lines:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "blank time" "0"
Option "standby time" "0"
Option "suspend time" "0"
Option "off time" "0"

My problem: upon rebooting the computer, I just got a purple screen with the Ubuntu logo, it went no further. I tried booting with the livecd and removing the lines I added, but it wouldn't let me save the file. I also tried booting into recovery mode but I'm not very adept at the command line navigation stuff, so I don't know how to find or re-edit the file.
Two video files on my external hard disk refuse to be deleted, renamed or moved. They keep giving the following error message

I have been editing MP3 tags with Easytag and it has worked for nearly all files but I have some files that when I open them with Easytag, gtkpod Manager, or MusicBrainz Picard, they display the new tags. But when I open these files with Rhythmbox player and when I look at the file properties I see the original pre-editing tags. I know I can change the artist, album, etc. in Rhythmbox player but that just seems to be a local change and I was more concerned by the audio properties of the file showing the old value because I don't want to have to go back and edit the tags again.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have Natty Narwhal and everything was working. Then I moved it to my HDTV, and I had overscan issues. Following some advice I found online, I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf with new information including a ModeLine.
Upon restart, I get my BIOS screen, the Ubuntu splash, then... nothing. The display goes to sleep. I can ping the computer, and everything seems to work except I have no video.
I did backup my xorg.conf file, but I don't know how to get to it without a display. Hindsight tells me I should have given myself a way to remotely control my computer before messing with xorg, but you live and learn.
I've read online that there is a way from the login screen to get to Terminal without loading the desktop environment, but I can't get to the login screen.
I've also tried using a Linux LiveCD to access my filesystem, and that works to view files, but I have no root privileges.
Is there...
...a way to get to Terminal without loading the login screen?
...a way to give myself root access to my harddrive from a LiveCD?
...something else to try?

I'm taking over as a Linux admin where they use sendmail last week. I've done very little with email on linux, and haven;'t touched sendmail since 2000 so I am really out of my element.Basically the sendmail server for many months has had performance problems, disk, and load.Looking into it I found this doing a tail on /var/log/MaillogAug 25 17:11:49 web8 sendmail[1531]: o7OGF2VH002566: to=postmaster, delay=1+01:58:10, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=2388694, relay=[xx.xx.xx.xx], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: [10.10.20.107]:No route to hostAnd that was all it was spewing, I edited the config files because xx.xx.xx.xx doesn't exist. And running m4, then restarting sendmail.It is still spewing out that message, but I do see some things connecting to the new yy.yy.yy.yy address. I even greped the entire /etc looking for the old machine.

I have been having trouble setting up a daily backup script with cron. It would basically never worked. Searched the net for answers but didn't find anything. I finally figured it out !! When root crontab is edited the execute flag is removed from #/var/spool/cron/crontabs/root. I change it with #chmod a+x /var/spool/cron/crontabs/root and all is good.

As a photographer I'm constantly taking photos and storing them in folders. Now occasionally I'm using two cameras (either for different settings or an assistant is also taking photos) which means that for one event I can have differently named images.Both cameras have the same time set (which always helps in Windows) but in Ubuntu when trying to sort my folder by date taken I can't.The options I'm given are to sort them: Manually, by Name, by Size, by Type, by Modification date and by Emblem.Now none of those are helpful to me once I've done a few edits to the images.So please if anyone knows, how do you organise a folder with images taken on different cameras by Date Taken rather than Date Edited?
