I can't use function key combination to toggle between connected monitor and laptop monitor of my Dell N4010, running Ubuntu Natty.This happens in Unity interface only. In gnome (Ubuntu classic), function key combination works fine.When I press Fn+F1, it acts similar to pressing super+F1.
View 2 RepliesWhen I first started using Unity, I configured the dual monitor system under the settings program. I then changed my xorg.conf, but Unity is ignoring that configuration and switching to its own. I think this might have something to do with RandR, but I'm not sure. Is there a way to make Unity use the xorg.conf configuration?

View 2 Replies View RelatedThe title says most of it. I've got an Optiplex 755 (Dual 20" Dell Monitors) on my desk at work but have access to a 780 if I want it. The 755 does NOT work with Unity, simply won't handle it. I'm not interested in doing an OS Reinstall and data transfer of all my work stuff if Unity doesn't work (KDE is fine on my 755...well sort of, I have Konsole windows popping up through my Firefox and KRDC windows but that's a somewhat minor issue). Anyone have an Optiplex 780 that they have the most recent Ubuntu installed with Unity running (Dual Screen) without a problem?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need a script/tool/whatever to toggle visibility of a specified window. I'm using Ubuntu with GNOME and compiz.

Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.
However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).
This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.
One - where is the setting so when I click into a file it opens in the same Window instead of a new one?
Two - how can I toggle the side bar on and off like Ubuntu/SUSE nautilus have?
My 3 year old daughter has shown me up and appears to have enabled the 'Visually impaired setting' for the 'Log on' screen; the problem is that I'm not sure how she did it and, naturally am unsure of how to undo what she did.She has her own account which has limited privileges, I'm assuming that whatever she did she did from the initial 'Logon' screen.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm using an IOGEAR KVM Switch to switch between my newly built PC and Xbox 360. I've been using it for a while on my 360 with no problems, but to switch inputs you have to use a hotkey on a keyboard that is connected to the KVM switch (there is no button on the KVM switch to toggle between inputs). My KVM switch is compatible with Linux, but each time I plug in my Logitech Wired Wave keyboard into my KVM switch and use the hotkey it fails to switch the input. The hotkey is the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard, and the Logitech Wired Wave keyboard doesn't have a key dedicated to that function.
So I use the key combo for Scroll Lock, which is Fn + Pause/Break. I haven't mapped out all the keys on this keyboard yet, but I figured it should already be mapped out, since all the other basic keyboard keys are working. I managed to switch the toggle key from tapping the Scroll Lock key (combo) twice to tapping the Control key twice, after finally figuring out the manual's long and convoluted key combinations to change the input toggle key setting. If anyone else encounters this problem I would direct you to the Page 11 of the product manual, which is available at the product page linked to above.

Example: click the button once and it turns on the Internet (1), click the button again and it turns off the Internet(2), click the button again and it turns the Internet on again (1).The only way I know is to have a script create and delete a file. If it finds no file, it runs operation 1 and creates a file. If it finds the file, it runs operation 2 and deletes the file.

Background: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.
When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.
In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.
I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.
I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:
Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1366x768 59.99*+
1360x768 59.80 59.96
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
[Code] ....
Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?
I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...
The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.

Powerdevil has been a pain for me for as long as I've use it, since KDE 4.3.1(Even Pre 4.3.1, up to 4.4)... It doesn't toggle when I unplug the AC adapter and doesn't toggle between power management modes, so in-turn shuts off immediately without any notification that power has ran out. When I ran 'acpi', AC Adapter indicates properly when I unplug it and plug it back in, so I would rule out an ACPI issue, no? Is this a bug in Powerdevil?

as many others I don't need CapsLock. I want to reassign it such that it has the function of AltGr. I use Kubuntu 9.10 but I think there must be a solution which is distribution independent.

But I could not achieve assigning the AltGr behavior to CapsLock.
