View 2 RepliesWith Lucid I gave evolution another try (actually the fourth time I installed a new Ubuntu version) and after some fiddling it worked (the first time, sadly). I like the idea to gather all "message" like things in one tray icon, so basically I like the indicator-applet. However, there is no way to customize it and many users complain about this. One particular issue is that evolution cannot be minimized to this tray icon. There are a lot of workarounds, all of them (to my knowledge) circumventing the indicator-applet and using an individual tray icon. But today, I found out how to do it. So... You want to use the indicator-message icon, but minimize evolution without an entry in the window-list? Devilspie has the "skip_tasklist" capability. So, install devilspie and create a script for evolution mail, e.g. $HOME/.devilspie/evolution.ds like this:
[Code].....
When evolution is started, the script pins evolution (so its available on all workspaces), enables skip_tasklist (so it is not shown in the window list), and minimizes it.
In Ubuntu some applications can be set to minimize instead of exit on close. For example, Empathy minimizes to the system tray (mail icon) when the close button is pressed in the application window. How do I make Evolution do this as well?
Essentially I would like to have Evolution hidden in the system tray instead of having to re-launch it every ten minutes to check for new messages (or leave it open and clutter the taskbar).
I have Thunderbird setup with the minimize to tray add on. I have it setup to start on boot but I would like it to start and then minimize to the system tray without me having to manually minimize it. I just can't figure it out. I have mounted a windows share with smbfs and it is in the fstab file but when the computer boots I have to type in terminal
[code]...
then terminal asks me for root password and then another box comes up after that that just says password. In the second password box it doesnt matter what you type in it will still mount. Even leaving it blank mounts. I read in some other threads about editing rc.local and also visudo. Neither one of those fixed it. I also made a script to run the above command and then added it to system>preferences>startup applications. That didn't work either.
Can I minimize the rhythmbox so that it appears only as a item in the system tray in fedora 11?Ctrl + W seems doesn't work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhenever I click minimize in rhythm box, it just goes to its own box in the bottom bar like most programs. But when i click the X while music is playing, it keeps playing, but it just disappears. The sound button has no options other than volume, and the only way to bring rhythmbox back up is starting it back up. Why doesn't it minimize to the sound button like its supposed to?
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am having troubles with my printer.
I have to use the manual feed, as the tray jams.
When set to manual feed, it prints fine in B&W and color.
However, page 2 goes from manual to tray 1! One page at a time works great.

Seems quite a lot out there are finding it simple enough getting Thunderbird/Davmail to work, yet I've been at it for days now and still no luck. I've finally given up altogether with Evolution last week, as it seems from weeks of reading and trying, there just isn't a solution for it to work with Exchange Server mail. Yes I tried brutus and its web sites are down so to get additions such as Brutus Keyring is impossible. (its all a long story for another day)Evolution is now uninstalled and in the bin.So now Im into the 5th day trying with Davmail and Thunderbird to get emails from my company mail exchange server.I am sure Im going to have better luck with Thunderbird from what Ive read so far, but it still eludes me how to set it up with Devmail and the information Ive found so far is not very clear. I am sure I am just missing the most simplest step somewhere along the line.
Can someone please post a detailed instruction on how to configure both Thunderbird and Devmail to work together and also how to test if Davmails is working?I can easily access my company emails via OWA with URl... from my home internet, so no issue there.From the efforts of trying to get Evol to work where it came up with the error. "Evolution connector is not compatible with Exchange 5.5", I assume our company server is running an MS exchange server version 2003 or older.
I am using thunderbird and evolution on my computer at work using IMAP and have been trying to configure both of the clients to access the global address book from the companies exchange 5.5 mail server.
I read this but cannot get any results when I search for a name.

How can I obtain the information that I need from the Exchange 5.5 server to setup my GAL on thunderbird or evolution.
What can I run to get this information?
It should be a simple thing to change to print from tray 2 instead of tray 1. Tray 1 is a manual feed tray, how do I change this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my netbook from 9.10 to 10.4 LTS. The installation seemed to work just fine, and after the reboot all things came up as expected. However, when I click on a program, it will appear, then immediately minimize in the upper-left corner. If I click on it, it will reappear then go back within a second.
I also noticed that if I move to a different area and run another application within there (OpenOffice for example), again the application will appear and minimize, but also the desktop is moved back to the Favorites.
It's very flustrating, as my mouse skills are not as good as the PC minimizing. The only thing that I noticed (may or not be relevant) was when I finally got it good enough to log off, a quick popup showed up about an Unknown program unable to end. Has anyone else experienced this. Is there something I can do to resolve this, or am I stuck on building 10.4 from scratch?
and i know of course i could just get used to it. but the X minimize and expand buttons on the windows is flip flopped on 10.04 now i dont have a clue how to change it back. it kept all old settings but changed this one little thing and its bothering me. ive been through compiz and appearance and whatever else i thought might change this. but just couldnt figure it out. i prefer my escape to be at the top right of my page. as i expect a majority of u do as well. anyone wanna point me in the right direction?
View 2 Replies View Related1. how I can "roll up" a program window by using the mousewheel? At work we have SLED 10/KDE (Ubuntu/Gnome is "better"), and there I can do it that way. It would be nice if I could do it here at home, in Ubuntu 10.04, too.
2. in "Gutsy Gibbon", I could turn the Compiz cube with the mousewheel. Can this be done with the mousewheel in 10.04 too, and if so, how? I don't seem to find it in the CompizConfig Settings Manager (or I'm missing it, which wouldn't be so strange, considering the countless things one can change in Ubuntu).
OK I feel silly having to as this as it probably some setting I changed but cant figure out where I did it..
So when I click on the minimise button of an open window instead of dropping to the bottom panel it disapears completely. Likewise if I have say a folder open and then open something new the new one replaces the old one instead of al being available in the panel.
Where do I reset this?
I am running the NBR using the Gnome interface, instead of the default netbook interface, but the problem happens even if I switch back to the default.Whenever I click on the MINIMIZE to desktop [v] button, the program abends (i.e. it disapppears, is NOT visible mimimized to the desktop, nor shows in the task bar or lower panel.The default buttons are in order of placement are:x [close], v (downward pointing arrowhead)[minimize to desktop] and [^ / ] (upward pointing arrowhead / square) [minimize /maximize]. I realise that on a small netbook screen such as my Asus EEE 1000 PC one might easily click on the "close" (x) button my mistake.
However, I UORPOSELY click on the down arrow button, and the current program / window disappears completely. As per my description above, I cannot find the application, so I have to relaunch it from the program menu. If it had been minimized, the system would inform me that the program was already running. Since it does not, it is a safe assumption and statement to say that the application / window / program has abendedMy only workaround is to adjust the maximixe size of the window using the rightmost button (downward arrow head = smaller window, square = fully maximized).
