I'm helping a friend with his netbook, and he is used to the regular netbook edition before the unity-style. The small netbookscreen is just not good for this new appbar on the left side (it's one of the old eee-pc's).
None of us like that solution, and I wonder if its possible to move the bar on the bottom side of the screen so it will be a bit more Windows 7-ish? I've searched and looked everywhere so I just have to ask.
I like the buttons on the left. I'm running 10.04 & I know how to move them. The problem is that changing themes will move them back right. OK, if the new theme has them on the right that's OK. But going back to the other theme doesn't change them back. They don't seem to be controlled by the theme, or I'm just not doing it right.

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.
I have limited experience in terminal, but let me first explain what I am trying to do to see if there is some easier way to do it. Basically I want to change the skin in aMSN. I downloaded the new skin but am unable to unzip or move it without /root permissions. I don't know how to acquire this without being in terminal. So I figured there had to be some way to go into the terminal and use it to move the unzipped folder from the desktop to the aMSN skins folder.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to move a 250GB IDE hard drive from a PC and repalce it with a smaller 40GB IDE HD. Currently the 250 GB drive is dual loaded with WinXP and Ubuntu desktop.
This PC is a kiosk style touch screen that I use as a home stereo and some other entertainment and household tasks. I have some hardware (touch screen, USB headset, wireless LAN card, sound card) that are proving to be problematic under Ubuntu. Currently this box is very usable under windows and I would like to just continue using the current build but with the new smaller HD.
I want to move that 250GB drive (along with several others) to a cluster and make a shared network space for file storage, music streaming, etc. but that's a project for another day.
Is it the mouse or something else?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have just got my 10.04 LTS CD from Canonical.
I was too impatient and upgraded to 10.04. The up-gradation was not without its flaws, but I have worked around a number of issues and I am happily working on it now.
I have installed a number of other software on the 10.04 upgraded version like Eclipse, GATE (NLP software), BasKet Notes, Thunderbird etc. If I install the LTS version will I have to re-download and install all of these things? Or is it portable?
I use only Linux on my laptop and so the stability is very important.
Whenever I try to uninstall a program, package it up and move it to Ubuntu it won't reinstall. Can I just copy the file over? will it work?

Anyways i only have a few things preventing me from switching, biggest is Ubuntu is currently partinioned on 10gigs of my hard drive, the rest is mostly crap. All i want off vista is music, pictures, and a few videos. how do i get them onto the ubuntu side, or allocate more space to use a friends external harddrive. I know Wine is used for WoW(problem solved) but how about ventillo and the rarely played EvE online? also if possible i need to bring those over as well. other than than Ubuntu kicks the **** out of any windows or mac OS ive ever used. but thats not sayin a whole lot.
View 9 Replies View RelatedJust finished building a new Ubuntu box and have been getting things setup. I have a new SATA 500 gig drive in the new system. My old IDE drive from the previous system is in and mounted. I can currently boot to either by flipping the BIOS info. Not sure if I can mount the SATA while booted to the old IDE tho, get mount errors at startup.
So, my plan is to move the essential bits of my /home into a storage area, and take ownership of them, so I can import my old mail and other essential stuff. When I try to copy from the SATA drives new install I get permission errors, and all the files are owned by #1002. Seeing how my brain is toast due to heat and working on this build for about the past 8 hours, can anyone give me a simple way to copy over the info from the IDE drive (which will be going away) to the SATA drive and have the data usable for import into my home folder.
I'm thinking of moving from an older RH install and Centos 2.6 on two different machines to Ubuntu 10.04.
what do y'all think of this distro / version?
I've currently got an older Gateway 1.8Ghz/512MB older NVIDIA box running Ubuntu 9.10. I'm I'm putting my HDD into another one I acquired, P4 2.2Ghz/2GB/Newer NVIDIA card. Basically the HDD will be the only leftover from the old system (and maybe a cdrom) Will 9.10 re-detect everything ok? Or will things I'm not thinking about be configured wrong due to the switch. Also I should state the the Proc on the new mobo will be replaced with a P4 3.4Ghz within the next couple weeks. But I was thinking since I'm not going to 64bit it wouldn't make a difference, correct me if I'm wrong. my /home is on it's own part so a reinstall wouldn't be too big of a deal if needed, just don't want to do unnecessary work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI had a folder named "Rage Against the Machine" in my Home directory which contained a bunch of music files. I opened my Terminal window and planned on moving it to a folder named "Downloads" inside my home folder, so I used this command:
Code:
sudo mv "Rage Against The Machine" /Downloads
Now I can't actually find the folder inside Downloads, which I think it should be. so I even tried running this to find it:
Code:
locate "Rage Against The Machine"
and it couldn't find it either.
Where did it go??
The folder size was approximately 837.6 MB in size total.
Recently I decided to remove Vista from my Pc and put Karmic Koala in its place. Instead, I formatted C: then created a new partition and put Ubuntu there but now it won't even boot!. All it does is stay on the logo screen and flash the Caps LED. Booting on 'safe mode' only works until the message: gave up waiting for root device.
I'm sure there are a lot of guides to correct this error
I know there is a lot of tutorials about this but I`m kind a new in Ubuntu and Linux. I know that it is good to set different partition for /home. But when I installed my ubuntu 9.10 I made 4 partitions
swap
/boot
/ - 40GB
/usr - 200GB

i installed ubuntu 10.4 on my samsung n110 netbook, the regular one, not the netbookremix
so far it looks good, some little inconveniences though, my main one right now is: i used to be able to grab a window with the mouse on one desktop and move it to another desktop just by dragging it (i.e. drag it to the right side of the screen and then it would switch desktops automatically)
now that doesnt seem to work anymore, i can only move the window but then i have to switch desktops manually and move the window some more
this really sucks, i know for now i can use ctrl+alt+shift+left/rightarrow but im used to doing it with the mouse and i quite like it
so my question is, is this a common issue? is it specific to my environment, if that's the case i'd be happy to give you more info on it...
right now i m using ubuntu 10.04 installed on virtual hard disk (wubi), but now i want to move it to dedicated hard drive partition. i found is to use LVPM however that software is NOT compatible with ubuntu 10.04. . .

OPTIMIZATIONS NOT RELATED TO STARTUP
Move your temporary files /tmp folder to your RAM if you have loads of memory. This will also provide you greater privacy. Edit /etc/fstab and add the following line to it
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0
Is this not normally implemented since some users don't have a lot of RAM?
Also, would it make that much difference if the system didn't have a lot of RAM to work with?
I am going to move my ubuntu to a different drive. Right now I have it on my primary sata drive in an extended partition. I want to move the whole installation to a different drive. Is there any way to do this without reinstalling ubuntu. Grub is installed onto my 100mb windows 7 boot partition. Is there a way to make grub point to the moved ubuntu installation on the different drive?

View 2 Replies View Relatedtoday I obtained a computer from a friend who had just bought a new computer, and they were getting rid of the old one. Being a linux user I couldn't let a perfectly good albeit slow Windows XP computer go to waste. With Ubuntu 10.04 install it is lightning fast. I've noticed it is faster than the current computer I use as a server, and want to migrate the HDD over to the new machine. I know there are issues when doing so with Windows as it registers the hardware and has major heartburn with this, so I was wondering if Ubuntu or linux in general will have any problems. I simply want to move it over.
I don't have a problem with reformatting as it has it's own /home partition, but for obvious reasons I would like to minimize down time. I did a search on google and on the forums here and I didn't find what I want to do.
My install of 10.10 went fine with the exception of Audio. If I attempt to use audio with the Rythmbox application or through Adobe Flash (in firefox), it sounds like an old fashioned 33 1/3 rpm phonograph record playing at 45 rpms. This problem has been around for a while and I had hoped that it would be cleaned up by now.
I'm running an AMD 64 processor (in 32 bit mode) and my audio card is a "Sound Blaster Live Value" (EMU10k1X). My on-board sound card is turned off in the bios. It works beautifully under Ubuntu 10.04 and FC13 with Pulse Audio.
Originally I thought that it might be a problem with Rythmbox which is now at v 0.13.1, a later version then I have been using in 10.04. However, with the Rhythmbox application off, I still get the same effect when trying to use audio in firefox. I also noticed that my cpu utilization climbs to about 80% when Rhythmbox is on.
i have installed Compiz and can get everything working fine there is no errors or such but i cant spin the cube manually with the mouse (like free looking) when i press "Alt-Ctrl-mouse button 1" .
im guesing there is an option that im missing to do it, but for the life of me i cant do it. when i press "Alt-Ctrl-mouse button 1" it zooms out like i want it to but no manual movement
it will spin to the next workspace if move a window or mouse to the edge of the screen , but i want to be able to free look at the cube.
i have ubuntu 10.10 and running gnome
I have a 2 screen set up and would love to be able to move my taskbar to my second screen therefore maximizing space on my big main screen, I cant see any options to do this.
