Ubuntu Networking :: Restoring Gnome Appearance Settings After Remote Connection Via SSH
Nov 30, 2010
I have a problem with remote connection over SSH and Xming, Every time I connect to Linux host from Windows I have to run gnome-appearance-settings to restore scheme settings to the one set after directly loging to Ubuntu. Otherwise, all fonts sizes and colors are set in such a way that they are barely readable. Is there a way to save this configuration so I will not have to re-set it alays after login? Ubuntu version 10.10.

I tried out the 10.04 beta in VirtualBox, and the tab for Interface in Appearance Settings was gone. This tab allowed you to edit the appearance of Toolbars in Ubuntu. You could edit whether Icons showed up in the toolbar buttons and whether Text shows up beside it. This is kind of a minor annoyance for me; is there any way to edit this option outside of the appearance settings? I'm sure there is (like editing some config file or GConf), but I'm not sure where.

My panels in Ubuntu have changed appearance, and I can't figure out how to put them back to the default settings in 10.04, and I can't use my widgets, like Evolution. How do you restore them to the default settings?

I've installed Lucid, and so far the only problem I'm having repeatedly is that my appearance settings aren't saving. Every time I reboot I have to change the visual effects from "none" to "normal", whereupon it searches for drivers and changes the settings. Any ideas what could be causing this and how to fix it?

I've got Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit on my Dell laptop, and on my Appearance/visual effects tab I've selected None. But when I reboot, it changes by itself to Normal. How can I make it stay on None?Edit: I just created another user on this pc. After reboot it stays on None for this user, suggesting it's a per-user setting I need to fix, not a system wide one.

Here is a description of my problem:I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on my desktop with the default Ambiance theme. I have my bottom panel deleted and instead use Docky.Sometimes on boot/reboot one of a few things happens.Either:1)My Ambiance theme loads, then...unloads?My top panel and all Nautilus windows turn to a flat gray "theme" as if I guess there are no appearance settings enabled. If I open appearance settings my panel returns to theme without doing anything else, but my Nautilus windows are still out of theme.2)My Docky bar never loads up and I have to start it manually, it then loads/works fine as if nothing is wrong.3)Both problems 1 & 2 combined.
My setup is Ubuntu 10.04 64bit running on an Athlon x2 3.0GHz with 8gig of DDR2 dual channel RAM and a Geforce 9800GTX+ video card. I had the latest factory NVidia driver installed and figured that might be causing the problem. I switched an older release of the NVidia driver last night to see if that fixes anything, but being an intermittent problem only a few days use will tell. I would not use the NVidia drivers at all, but I figured I would not be able to use Docky as it requires compositing to be enabled (which I was under the assumption were under the special effects that I need the NVidia driver for).

Is there a way gnome can allow a remote desktop / VNC connection if no user is logged in? If the server gets rebooted I can't access it (remote desktop / VNC). Someone physically has to go there and log in. Surely there must be a way as gnome is running just waiting for a login.

On my Kubuntu 10.04 machine changing the icons is done in the appearance section in menu-system settings-appearance then selecting icons. Can this be done in Ubuntu 10.04 and if so how?

I have a relative who made the mistake of changing the resolution of her display to something that her monitor does not support. The monitor no longer displays anything.If she connects another monitor to the computer, the monitor will work properly. If she boots off the live CD, her current monitor works properly. If she swaps out her graphics card with another with the current monitor, there is no display.Apparently, there is a remembered setting for the resolution of her particular monitor. Is there a way that it can be reset back to the default?

I am using debian testing on my office pc, but i need to access it's desktop from time to time. So i need No machine/teamviewer software that can provide me with possibility to interact my desktop. The problem is, that i want to run shadowed session type, because teamviewer is not good for me. So, when i run no machine in shadowed mode, it crashes with message "The connection with remote server was shut down, please check your network settings and try again." The log is here:

i have a habit of frequently changing my desktop themes in gnome desktop. off late i found that whenever i close the appearance settings window, the process diesnt seem to stop and it becomes a runaway process, increasing fan speed in my laptop and ofcourse the temp that shoots beyond 70, every time i change the theme i have to issue top command in terminal, identify the gnome-appearance process id and kill it. the instant i kill it, temp drops down to 32 / 32....

I've been trying to get familiar with this over the past 24 hours or so. I assume I've been somewhat successful in what I'm attempting to do, as I can work my way around a bit now and use some terminal commands. However, there is this display problem I seem to be encountering with certain windows which is extremely putting off. When I click options like 'File' or 'Edit' in a window, this is what I get. Here are the screenshots below.
This is what I get when I click the 'Volume' button in the Panel at the bottom of the screen. I have tried changing the Desktop Appearance Settings, Theme Settings but nothing seems to work. Although this is not a performance issue, it is hampering my vision of the various available options, and I would like to resolve it at once.

Once I bring up alsamixer, or mixer from menu, how do you save the settings and have them restored next boot so you don't have to always set them again after a re-boot up?

I dont know why but I cant open the appearance properties anymore.The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.(Details: serial 693 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

I just can't set any proxy settings in Gnome 3 Network settings. Is it a bug or...?
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and then used a PPA to install Gnome 3. Some other "problem" is I can't set single click opening of folders...

I'm looking for a newbie friendly guide on tuning stuff like TCP and whatnot. I installed a program on my sister's Windows computer called Internet Cyclone and it did all the settings itself, but I can't seem to find such a program for Linux. I kinda want to learn to do it myself too, so can you point me to a newbie friendly guide on how to optimize my Internet connection settings?

I have a Windows XP Professional desktop that I would like to remote connect to from my Ubuntu 9.10 laptop. I would like to connect in such a way that the current user of the XP machine doesn't get logged off when I connect. I have googled this subject and have been unable to find this exact subject. I am fairly comfortable using the terminal although I am still learning it. I have heard FreeNX is a good program but from what I can tell it's only used to connect from Windows to Ubuntu. Is this correct? I would also like to remote connect from the above mentioned laptop to the XP machine while at work over the internet if that's possible.

I really have no idea why this happened, but when I logged in GNOME the appearance is different. At first it looked like this:
[URL]
and now it turns into this:
[URL]
Notice how it's more square. System->Preferences->Appearances doesn't seem to help.

Does anyone know what could be causing a Remote Desktop connection to a 10.04 box to be closing after some period of time? I have three systems all running 10.04 with Remote Desktop enabled. I'm using UltraVNC on Windows 7 to connect to them. If I open a connection and leave it open for a long time (like overnight, for example), when I come back in the morning, I still see the VNC window but as soon as I click on it, it closes. I can immediately open a new connection to the box but it now shows two active connections. At first I was thinking maybe there's an idle timeout value but given that Ubuntu still seems to think that the original connection is active, maybe the problem isn't on the Ubuntu side but on the UltraVNC side?

Failed to fetch [URL] Could not connect to 127.0.0.1:8118 (127.0.0.1). - connect (111 Connection refused)----when tor and polipo are not running---
Possible causes:
I just installed tor, privoxy, and polipo and set them up for web browsing anonymity. Other than that I don't recall making any system wide changes.
Other Info:
I can access the internet via a web browser and other programs just fine because i can manually edit each program's internet connection settings. apt-get works when tor and polipo are running. I have used tor and privoxy/polipo in the past and this has never been a problem, so I must have done something different this go around. Obviously I am not sure what that is. Attached are the applicable config files.

what I have: Belkin G Wireless Router Model F5D7234-4. To attempt to get Subsonic working, I changed the port forwarding settings (Belkin calls it Virtual Servers) to forward port 4040 to my desktop computer. I then saved changes, and my wireless disconnected. I waited about 3 minutes, and nothing was happening, so I restarted my router. This left me in the position that I am in now. Even when the router and modem are fully booted, the router does not broadcast my SSID. In addition, a wired connection will not connect to the network through the router. This leaves me completely unable to use wireless, and unable to change any settings in the router.

I've been able to use connect to my home laptop from school using VNC (and the Remote Desktop Connection program in f10), but since the graphics take forever to stream, it's almost pointless to use it.Is there any way to connect to my home computer, and ONLY get a Terminal?I've googled around and haven't found a concise way to do this... i'm so confused about how this stuff works (esp how it relates to SSH)

I am trying to connect to my Company network through VPN. I use a Lynksys router which is most likely not the problem, as I can get the VPN and Remote Desktop to work from a WinXP Pro laptop connected to the same router. I have tried several RDC clients, none of them establish a connection. The VPN connection is active, I can ping and Traceroute to it , but I cannot get the RDC to work. The RDC should connect to 189.0.0.10 on the company network.
