I'm running Ubuntu 10.4 with Gnome and installed the netbook-remix so I could log into that as its own session when I'm just doing basic stuff.I log into the NBR session and all looks good, but when I run a program or open a window, it automatically minimizes the window. I maximize it and it just re-minimizes it. What can I do to stop this?
View 2 Repliesi updated tis morning to 10.04 on a compaq netbook and only problem is that the system minimizes all windows.... Can't kee a window on top for more than 2 secs. It seems that all is ok,any program i klick runs but it immediatly minimizes and won't stay open. I cant do anything,i have to type one character at a time.

I have set Xubuntu (10.04) to auto login
Both Darkice and sc_serv are command line apps and I would like them to each run in their own terminal window so I can monitor any status messages they produce. For instance sc_serv displays connections disconnections with time connected, and current number of listeners, and I want to see that.
One important note: sc_serv must be up and running before Darkice can be started.
I am using Ubuntu Maverick and I wanted to try the xubuntu desktop environment, so I installed xubuntu-desktop package from synaptic package manager. There were many programs automatically installed with the xubuntu-desktop.After trying the xubuntu desktop, I didn't like it and removed it from synaptic package manager but it didn't remove the programs which were automatically installed with it.Is there any way to remove those programs without having to remove them one by one?

View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen accessing the server from any client, the 'd' key minimizes the current window on the server (not the VNC client itself). Every other key seems to work fine and I can use the key combo <ALT>-d to issue a 'd', but that is less than convenient. I saw this post [URL] which said to use gconf-editor to set a keyboard layout, but that didn't fix the problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to key information into an OpenOffice spreadsheet that is being viewed in another application, typically Firefox. Both windows are sized such that they fit on the screen at the same time. Prior to a week or so ago, this was very straight forward. Now when I click on an app in the Task Manager after opening OpenOffice, other open apps are minimized - sometimes all of them, sometimes just the most recent. I usually have Dolphin, a terminal window, Firefox, OpenOffice and sometimes a spreadsheet open. A friend who is far more familiar with Linux than I, suggested that the memory manager may have gotten confused and that logging out should clear this up. I tried that to no avail, as well as rebooting. I've also looked through the options in each of the apps that I've got open to see if there's any obvious user options that might be affecting this. I've found nothing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedIm setting up a Mythbuntu box as a HTPC, and I want to be able to stream my media from my Windows box to the Mythbuntu box. I got the windows shares mounted fine, everything works. But I want them to auto mount so I modded my /etc/fstab file to mount the share. The problem is the Mythbuntu box uses wifi, and during boot the computer can't connect to the Windows box, and it hangs on

Error while mounting /blah/blah/ press s to skip or m for manual recovery and I am planning on not having a kbd hooked up to this computer once it is done.
1) Is there a better way to auto mount Windows shares - one that does the mounting after the computer is booted up? Furthermore, the Windows box may be off, so I want it to just skip the mounting on error.
2) Right now when I mount the share, I have to specify the Windows computer by its IP address. If I do it by PC name, it doesn't work, says it can't find the computer. Is there a way to mount using the computer name, so that if my router decides to give the windows box a new IP I wont have to reload everything?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI want to do a clean re-install of Windows 7 but there are files and installed programs which need to be backed up and restored. I tried using the Windows 7 backup utility to do a full backup to an external usb drive. The problem is that whenever the backup gets close to finishing, it always crashes. The system I am backing up has been compromised by viruses, which might be causing this. I already used several utilities to get rid of the viruses but some of the damage they did can not be undone. I tried doing the backup in safe mode but Windows 7 does not allow this. What other methods can I use to backup and restore important programs and files on Windows 7? Perhaps there is a way to do it from outside Windows 7, like say, using a Linux live cd? One of the main problems I see is restoring installed programs since those make use of the registry so simply copying the files probably won't work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI know this may be just me being a little bias on OS's but... I quite honestly believe that "some" programs run faster on linux than on windows.
Open Office for example, It runs amazingly fast on my linux distro but runs horribly (laggy) on my Vista machine.
Firefox also appears to run faster on my linux machine than on my Vista machine.
There are several more examples but I could go on and on with this.
My point is, do programs run faster on linux than on windows? Or is it just me that is in denial?
I am not sure if comparing linux to Vista is a good comparison in terms of program speed or not...
Also it should be noted that the Vista machine "hardware" is "several" times faster than my linux machine's "hardware".
I am not trying to start a flame war or anything like that, I am just trying to make sure I haven't totally lost my mind.
I work for a school district. We are running in a Windows environment with a Windows domain. It was asked of me if I could get an Ubuntu system on our domain and running without issue, as we would like to tinker with the idea of slowly introducing Ubuntu systems to the network.I have a test system here. I added it to the domain using Likewise-Open. I have Samba installed, etc. Here's the next curve ball that I need answered.All user documents are stored in their individual shares on the same Windows server. In Windows, we use re-directed My Documents, so their My Documents actually points to \serverusersob_dole instead of C:/Documents and Settings/Bob Dole/My Documents.
How can we do this in Ubuntu? I don't care if it re-maps the home directory or creates a folder on the desktop that is linked. Either way, I want to log in to ANY Ubuntu system and blam - I have a link to \windowsserverusersmy_share. I want any user on the domain to be able to do that to any Ubuntu system and have a link to THEIR folder on the Windows server.
I have just recently installed Ubuntu Server 10.10 32-bit onto an old Gateway Solo 5300 laptop to run as a test server. Since I want it to use all of the disk space, how do I remove the other OS and its existing programs.
View 2 Replies View RelatedLong story short, been using Debian for 2+ years. Recently did a Clean install of Jessie (which worked fine). I wanted to test out Ubuntu 14.04 so I distro hopped for a couple weeks. Now I'm back on Debian Jessie (did a clean install again).
Problem is: Everything works fine, but after the computer runs for a while (like 2+ hours) any new program windows that I open are completely blacked out. Just like opening a big square black tile. They are unusable until I restart the computer, then everything works fine again for another 2+ hours.
I've never had this problem before, not even with my previous clean installation of Jessie. This time I installed it in the same way that I did the last time.
Some windows programs won't run after I have installed them with Wine. They either won't run or they make the screen go to a black painting screen (screen goes black and you can paint over it with your mouse to make the desktop reappear). I have tried changing the windows version and made no difference. I have even tried opening it in a virtual window and made no difference (Window opens then closes)
