Ubuntu :: No Taskbar/launcher In 11.04?
Jun 2, 2011
It seems as if I've really done myself in this time. I recently upgraded to 11.04 from 10.10.trouble (not showing titlebars after I had trie to enable the "desktop cube" feature) so I decided the best plan of action was to get rid of Compiz. That turned out to be a mistake. Now I have no launcher or taskbar, and since I'm somewhat, well, inept at this so far I have no idea how to get my desktop back in working order.e managed to install compiz and emerald once again, but I can't get to the startup application editor to make it run automatically. Is there a way to get the default desktop environment handler to kick back in?

After upgrading to 11.04, I noticed something strange, being that when I want to drag a file or folder from one Nautilus folder window to another which is not visible, I can no longer hold the item over said folder's taskbar button and wait for it to appear. It just shows the + for copy, and when I let go (which I have no choice but to eventually do), it creates a launcher to that item (I assume it's doing that, and not actually copying there, but the + has me unsure).
I've looked in Nautilus's preferences to see if this is some new behaviour that I can revert back to, but could find nothing there.
I'm of course using the Classic desktop with bottom panel being the taskbar. If you know how I can rectify this, please let me know, as the times I would want to create a file or folder launcher without the usual hassle would be rare, but I am constantly dragging stuff from one folder to another, and it would be a real pain to have to line up source and destination folders each time.

In Windows 7 when you hover over an open application in the taskbar, it shows a small image of that application. Is there a way this can be done in Linux?

For some reason the general launcher button (+ in circle) in the unity menu has disappeared. I do not know how to restore it. Which means I have great problems to start al apps that are not standard in the menu.

How do you access preferences for changing size of the launcher bar or icon size, etc? I looked through system settings and could not find it.

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 and at first there was the icon for Open office quickstart and the icon for network connection.After some updates those two disappeared but I was able to switch off the computer. I have managed to get those two icons back using 'notification area' but the computer will not shutdown now.

I am a new Ubuntu user (three months so far on Karmic amd64, and very happy with my new OS). I had to do a force shutdown after a system freeze (while viewing video on my tv - dual display - with vlc). Upon restart, I noticed the network connection icon missing from the taskbar; there was an empty "slot" between the evolution and sound icons so I figured the network icon was simply not appearing correctly.
I right clicked in that empty "slot" and chose to remove from taskbar with the intention of putting it back. After clicking remove, the taskbar started a cycle of constant disappear and reappear (about one second between each). The cycle is too fast to allow navigating in menus but I can access the terminal. Being new and all, I don't know how to configure the taskbar through the terminal... fix my taskbar in the terminal?

I hooked up my computer to a TV via VGA and after I was done my icons moved around on the taskbar. Usually the 'kevin' was on the far right. Is there a way to change it back?

On my desktop, running 9.10 64 bit, when I start up, I get the error message
"cannot update ICEauthoriy /home/local" and after I hit ok to go beyond that, my taskbar and menus flash, then disappear. I get to my desktop, but have no functionality. I installed klamav yesterday, and got this on my next startup. Is there any way to save my installation, and not have to re-install the O/S.

Quite often, at start after I shut down my latptop, my taskbar is completely empty and inactive. I can't right-click on it and add anything. The rest is working fine: shortcuts work, terminal works, software works through terminal, sticky notes are opened

I am very very productive with the new Windows 7 taskbar. The ability to press Winkey + # to either:
1) Minimize that window if it is the window that currently has focus set to.
2) Restore the window the key combination is pressed but the window is not currently open. For example, if Firefox is the third tab across the bottom of the taskbar, and not currently open, I would like <Super> + 3 to restore this window for me, instead of having to do alt + tab, tab, tab, tab [OH! Now I finally got to it!]. I just work much faster with this convenient shortcut.
The Problems
1) I need to know how Ubuntu remembers the current location of an item on the taskbar. It must, as you are able to re-arrange items with a drag of the mouse. I need this to find out what item #, so when I press <Super> + num I can figure out what is the numth window across the bottom currently.
2) I need to know how to execute something like [psuedo-code for bash script]:[ie: How do I minimize? How do I check if a window is currently the focused window? How do I make it the current window?]
I am a programmer, I am willing to figure this out for myself at least partially, but how the hell do I find #1 without diving into thousands of lines of source? I could use some push in the right direction. I just switched to Ubuntu a month ago [from Windows, but I was very much a power-user and know my way around it well].

Take a look at the picture. 1 refers to the mail icon, which has pidgin in it (I couldn't screenshot while open for some reason), and 2 refers to the icon that can be clicked which has the capabilities to set "available, away, invisible, etc" and that type of thing. Problem is, I no longer use empathy, I use pidgin instant messenger. Can I use the #2 icon referred to in the picture to control my status for pidgin?

I really like the way the Windows 7 taskbar icons looks. I'm looking for a way to make the taskbar icons bigger without increasing the taskbar size itself. I'm also looking for a way to show the icons only, without any text beside.

Currently the way tabs on the taskbar look (the bar at the bottom) make it a bit hard to distinguish between them. sometimes they all look like one big clump of text. its quite messy. when you look at something like the windows xp taskbar [URL] its much easier to see between them. I guess its also because the buttons look 3D in that they stick out a bit. Plus the choice of colours used for when you are on a tab helps.
How do I change/find a theme for this?

I am running a new install of 10.10 and have a problem with windows flashing when they need attention. For example a new IM message.
This happens with both aMSN and pidgin. So as far i am aware its not a problem specific to the application.
I'm using lib notify for now so I don't miss incoming messages all together.
Im running compiz with extra visual effects.
