View 9 RepliesI keep trying to use Ubuntu Tweak to change the start button logo, and for some reason it did before, but now it just won't change. Its a 24x24 png with transparency.

I have created a file .lircrc in my home share and added the following
begin
remote = mceusb
button = Home
prog = irexec
repeat = 0
config = /usr/share/applications/XBMC Media Center
end
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.

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.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI've just installed Ubuntu and noticed that there are two tool bars.The one at the top says applications, places, system and then there is also one at the bottom.Is it possible to have just a single toolbar that has a "start button", "quick launch icons" and open applications?
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow would I do this? First part of the thread title is because I'm not sure if the install of Debian Squeeze would even detect the Start key. (Btw, is there a small enough sticker of the GNOME logo I could buy and put over the Windows logo? )
I read this thread: [URL] but I'm confused about what linmix is saying. Is there a way to get the power key to do the equivalent of what it would in Windows?
I don't find this an essential task, but it would make life a lot easier.
Edit: I mean Super Key not Power.

I'm running Kubuntu, updated to 10.04. After working OK, today Windows started disappearing whenever I click to minimize them. They're still running, but I have to go to System Monitor, locate the program in the list and click "Show Window." That's a nuisance.
I think this began after I tried to move panel icons to the right with an adjustable spacer. I've hunted all over the place for some setting to get windows to operate properly. The "Window Behavior" item in System Settings doesn't have anything. I removed the spacer and that didn't do anything, either.
I've seen people use the fire effect when minimizing windows and even saw someone setting up the fire effect to fit their needs in compiz but I do not have the fire effect in my compiz effects manager. Where can i get it??

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm on the Ubuntu Natty Narwhal and on a netbook. Hardware details are given on the signature.
Well, I'm trying to learn how to use Unity, but this bug is freaking me out. When I minimize any window, the menus are kept on the top bar 'till I click on anything else (or on the desktop), also I can't recover the window till I click on anything else (It's like it haven't been minimized, just hidden).
After restoring the window, if I try to maximize, the window borders will be maximized, but the actual window won't. I'll be attaching pictures for better understanding.
Also, if I try to un-maximize, the Close-Minimize-Maximize and the menus will be unavailable (Visible, but like they didn't exist, cant even move the window around)
If I maximize and THEN minimize, then it goes crazy. When I recover the screen, it will look ok, but if I un-maximize, there'll be a huge ugly black border around the window that follows it, no matter where I push it around.
Couldn't find anything related. I'm using the Natty Beta 1 (installed yesterday thru updates). I'm also using the latest Intel drivers (from intellinuxgraphics.org). Everything else works fine.
Hope there's a fix out there. Should I fill a bug report?
I have around 150 images and each one of them has the size of 3.3 MB.I need to shrank them to small size. What I need is, is there any way to minimize them in few minutes ?

So If I want to view that window again, the only option I can view that again is by using Alt+Tab. How can I make these windows to populate in the bottom panel whenver I minimize those.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using the Messaging Menu and pidgin, and generally I like how I can get notifications. My biggest gripe is that when I click the close button (not quit) on pidgin instead of quitting the program like it used to it will minimize to the Messaging Menu. Is there some way to disable this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAfter installing Maverick 64 bit (clean install, used to be 32 bit Lucid) any applications I run in WINE disappear when I minimize them. They don't crash, they're just impossible to reach as they're no longer in task manager, they don't show up through alt-tab but I can see them if I run ps -x from a terminal. I tried with mIRC and the client is still responding, it'll still accept files with auto-get on so it's working fine, but the UI is gone
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I minimize windows they completely disappear. Doesn't matter if its a program or my home folder, anything I open disappears when its minimized.I can run the system monitor and check running processes and they are still running. I just cant see them. All I can do is kill them with the system monitor.I can log on as another user and they work fine. It's just in one account. Is there a way to fix this, or to completely reset my desktop to the default settings? I know it's something I did but I can't find out where to fix it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been running Ubuntu on my laptop for a couple months now and I've been using compiz settings manager. For some reason I can't seem to get the window effects for minimizing, closing, etc. to work. I have followed a few tutorials and nothing seems to make any difference. As far as I can tell, that is the only thing in compiz that is not working. I am running Ubuntu 10.10
View 4 Replies View RelatedToday my minimising, maximising, and closing buttons on the window border moved from the right to the left without any apparent reason. (At least i dind't ask them to). The other computer I work on didn't change though.
I use Gnome, Dust Sand theme on 10.04.
I really dislike having them there, how can i move them back where they belong?
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 as a full install from a USB flash drive. In other words, I've installed to the flash stick just as though it were a normal hard drive. This is not a Live USB/Persistent install.
The drive is an off-the shelf 8GB Gigaware stick, and its read/write performance is pretty slow. Any time I do anything that requires disk access, it's very sluggish and tends to hang.
I'm looking for advice on things I could do to minimize the amount of disk-access made in the course of using the system, so that it will feel snappier and more responsive.
Some things I've done already:Installed 'preload', which is a daemon that monitors what programs you use frequently, and pre-loads them into RAM to reduce startup time. Mounted /tmp as a tmpfs (RAM disk) and moved my Firefox and Chrome browser caches into RAM. Set noatime for my root and home partitions.
Should I be trying to disable the filesystem journal as well? I'm less concerned with potentially burning out the flash drive with too many writes than I am with just making the system more responsive and nicer to use.
One other thing I was reading about is the so-called "Laptop Mode" that appears to be kernel settings to allow you to spin down a laptop hard drive: [url]
Obviously a flash drive doesn't spin, but it seems like some of those same techniques could be helpful here. Is there anyone who has experience running Linux in a situation with a very slow hard drive?
The computers I'm using this flash drive with all have between 2 and 8 GB of RAM, so moving more stuff into RAM is unlikely to be an issue.
When I connect to my Ubuntu box from any Mac OSX 10.6 client (Snow Leopard) using Nomachine, the 'd' key minimizes all windows on my Ubuntu box. I found another post here that says the issue can be fixed by changing some settings on the Ubuntu box when connected. However, I cannot find the location of the settings indicated in that post [URL].
Does anyone know how to resolve this 'd' key problem?
So I have a intel wifi link 5100 , the drivers should work BUT iwconfig doesn't show my card ..

I'm trying to minimize windows from the CLI (not tied to Gnome/KDE). wmctrl mentions it can set a `hidden' option for windows but this doesn't seem to work. Also found this: [URL]

View 1 Replies View RelatedMost discussion of lightweight desktops seems to focus on cpu and/or gpu load. I want to ask a different question (though it may have the same solution): how to set up a secure remote desktop server for students to minimise network load. My current setup (gnome plus vncserver, tunneled over ssh) is certainly a bad choice, but I'm having trouble finding the right information about what to choose. My current best guesses:LXDE (not too unfamilar to students used to gnome)NX (generally said to give better compression) Is this a reasonable compromise? Is there a better solution? host server settings to reduce network load client settings the students could use to minimise network load security implications of distributing the nx ssh session key widely
