Ubuntu :: Logout / Shut Down Button "Greyed" Out?
Jul 25, 2010
I'm running Ubuntu 10.2 running Gnome. I have notice the last couple of times I have started my desktop that the Shut Down button is greyed out, the button does not respond when the mouse goes over it nor to being clicked. When this happens I remove the non-functioning button and add it again fresh and the following restart it happens all over again. I added this button manually to a panel by right-clicking on it and selecting "Shut Down" in the first menu that appears.

I'm trying to burn the .ido of Mepis 11 to a DVD. I have a 4.7Gb DVD-R in the drive. Usually, I would just navigate to the .iso and select it, and K3b would do the rest. Now, when I do that, K3b does check the md5sum, and it's correct, but then it just sits there with the Start button greyed out.

Just installed Centos 5 and I'm wanting to learn. However I also need this machine to VPN to work. When I go to Network Connections and click on the VPN tab the button to "Add" a connection its greyed out.I've googled and tried a few things in terminal with openvpn, pptpd client, poptop, but now I'm more confused than ever. I think the problem is most of the pages I hit are how to create a SERVER on the Centos 5 box, I just want to be able to vpn into work, so I'm assuming a client?My question is
1. Is there a gui interface for a quick VPN connection?
2. If not, what is a help doc with just the connecting side of the puzzle?
I have a 2nd computer with Windows on it that was preset up on VPN for me.

We are planning the migration fro Karmic to Lucid for our systems, these systems are custom Ubuntu installations, we create them using debootstrap and then running a script that installs desired packages, mainly X server and (optionally) fluxbox.
I've set up a hard drive with our current scripts (the only modifications were the change of lucid instead of karmic for update servers and removing usplash from our scripts), but I've found that pushing the power button would not shut down the system (we have no GDM or similar), the system does not respond to this event as used to do under Karmic.
Do you know where I can check/enable the system to shutdown when pushing the power button?

Running Debian lenny. If I use the lpr command from a regular ssh client (ie. not using xterm), I get a printout from a IP printer without problems. But if I am using an xterm and issue the exact same command, a window named "LPR GUI" pops up. The problem with the gui window is that the "OK" button is greyed out and nothing I do seems to allow me to print.

I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad X201i. The problem I have is (since I've installed Xubuntu) every time I start up my laptop it just hangs with a little flashing white stripe in the top of the left corner (like every start up). Then when I shut down the laptop using the power button and start it up again it works. How can this be possible? On start up, it hangs, while on the restart it always works. Which means I have to restart my laptop every single time.

As a normal user I have activated the functions of the Quit applet, i.e. Logout, Shutdown and Restart are active buttons. I am able to restart or shutdown, no problems. But when I use the Logout button I don't get logged out, just returned to the login shell & I am still logged in as my user. I don't have a display manager installed and I do NOT want to use a display manager such as XDM or GDM. How do I get the Logout button to actually logout the user? It appears I am only getting logged out of the x-session, but I want complete logout.

Offlate I installed F11 i586 on my laptop. F11 shares the hard disk with Vista Home Premium 32-bit. The problem is that when running F11 (or even Ubuntu), my system shut off suddenly(not a normal OS shut down, but a sudden power off without any warning). This could have been a hardware trouble(heating) but it doesn't happen with Vista.
Machine specifications:
Maker: Toshiba
Model: Satellite L305D-S5881
AMD Turion X2 Dual Core Mobile Processor RM-70
3072 MB 800 MHz SDRAM
I don't want to open up my machine unnecessarily, if it isn't a hardware issue.
I am not sure how to verify the bit length of the machine and the OS and does it create a compatibility issue ?
Your advise would be highly appreciated.

I've searched for this a fair bit but everyone seems to have a different cause.
I constantly get applications greyed out. (I understand this is when ubuntu sees them as 'not responding') It happens to Firefox a lot, but that may just be because I use it alot. It happens to Nautilus a lot too, and sometimes the everything gets grey at once.
Windows, every other OS I've ever had installed (including older Ubuntus) and the 10.04 live-cd all run fine. So I'm under the impression that it's something either that i've installed or that ubuntu did when it installed.
It's done this pretty regularly from day one, so it doesn't seem to be something I've done lol.
What possible causes are there for this? Is there a log or something I can check that may enlighten me?

I know how to make another button act as the middle button but how can I map several mouse buttons to the middle button? xmodmap complains if I repeat button numbers in the pointer option.

I'm trying to use Open Office presentation, and it makes me angry and a little disappointed because it feels like it is everything else than user friendly...Like 50% of all the options are grayed out and it is really irritating!It started when i tried to view the presentation, and advance to the next image by pressing the mouse button like in power point, and it is so bad layout i don't understand how, and it makes it even worse when i can't click 50% of eventual solutions.

I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop. However I don't like Evolution mail client and installed Thunderbird from the repositories. It installed fine and comes up with the wizard to fill account details in but for some reason you can't input anything from the keyboard - it seems greyed out. I tried uninstalling and re-installing but it's still the same. Everything else is fine and working.

Running Evolution 2.23.3.1 on a laptop with 8.04 installed. (Running 8.04 for good reasons - please don't query). I've been running perfectly for some time, but today when I booted up and opened Evolution to check my mail, the first sign of something odd was that it didn't ask me to unlock the keyring. Then I noticed that the send/receive was greyed out.
I rebooted several times with no change. I've clicked on Permissions in the File menu, but that doesn't then show any window, which is what I would expect, thinking that something has changed. Other than accepting all the usual update manager's recommended installs, nothing has changed on this laptop for several weeks.

ubuntu 11.04,Windows 7 dual boot. Almost total linux / ubuntu novice.I just installed ubuntu 11.04 this afternoon. The installation went smoothly but I did not get wireless internet connection. In the top panel : Network device not working (firmware missing)Some hunting indicated that one needed to remove some files and install some others using synaptic. Found synaptic, loaded it by clicking and found the file to install. However the Package Tab was completely greyed out. Any suggestions where I am going wrong?
BTW the 11.04 is different enough that I have not yet even found the terminal so any suggestions re it, please include a suggestion on how to find it.

Recently upgraded to Karmik and use KphotoAlbum version 4.0.2 for photos.On startup error messages says "exif2 library" not installed. Synaptics package manager indicates it is installed. The end result is that "Images" plug-in is grayed out and exif searches cannot be done, resulting in photos being displayed out of order.I used "Ubuntu Software Center" to install package.

I'm the only one using this pc, so I want to enable automatic login. When I open the "login screen settings" though, it's greyed out (inactive) and the "unlock" doesn't do anything.
I also have something about "keyring" asking my password each time just after login, which isn't pleasant.
