Ubuntu :: Opening Applications (only Gnome-terminals) In Defined Workspace?

Aug 18, 2010

Ideally I would like to set a keyboard shortcut to open a set of applications. The applications (mainly different gnome-terminals) should be opened in different, previously defined workspaces. I had a look around but could not find a simple solution (maybe it could be done in devilspie but I would like to avoid that).If I limit myself only to gnome-terminal and instead of using the keyboard shortcuts call the application in the shell the placement of the terminal can be done by using "--geometry" (see "man gnome-terminal" and "man X") e.g. "gnome-terminal --geometry 50x20+200+300". wmcrtl show me that my 6 workspaces are treated as one desktop (my interpretation - maybe wrong):

Code:
$ wmctrl -d
0 * DG: 7680x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,1 1280x1023 Desk 1

Ubuntu :: Applications Jump From Their Workspace To The Current Workspace

Jul 20, 2011

I believe I may have found a bug in Unity. Under the right circumstances an application will jump from the workspace where I left them to my current workspace. This is most noticeable with VirtualBox. I built an Ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine so that I could test out new packages before I push them out to the rest of my machines. But the window for the virtual machine constantly appears in my current workspace. It may take a few minutes, or 30 minutes, but it will happen.

I can kind of understand it if a new window appears, but at least with VirtualBox, this happens on a running virtual machine seemingly randomly.

Fedora :: Terminals Opening In ~/Documents Instead Of ~

Aug 25, 2011

Graphical terms and xterm start up in ~/Documents. Konsole starts at ~ (as expected). I know I'm missing something (probably long forgotten) but I can't seem to find where the Documents is coming from in the other terms. I thought xterm ALWAYS started in the user home. Is it a bash thing? I have a ~/.bashrc with

Ubuntu :: Stop Opening Links In Firefox In A Different Workspace?

Dec 23, 2010

When I click on a link in say Evolution, in workspace 1, the page will open in an open Firefox in a different workspace, say 7, but a item will appear on the panel of my current workspace. When I click that item I will be moved to the workspace 7. I find this very confusing.I would prefer the behaviour to be, if there isn't a Firefox in the current workspace to start one and use that rather than reuse one in a different one.

Ubuntu :: Applications Appear On Newly Active Instead Of Original Workspace?

Jun 11, 2011

This is a problem I encounter since I use workspaces (Since I use Linux) - and I never got used to it.When you click an icon of an application that needs some time to load before it spawns its windows, but change to another workspace during that time, the application will spawn its windows in the newly active workspace.This can't be the expected behaviour, because application load time decides where its windows spawn.In most comparable situations the behaviour is that the applications visuals are located where you "started" them.

For example, start thunderbird, then immediately Ctrl+Alt+F1 - Thunderbird won't appear in the text terminal.Or lets say you have a KVM-Switch - two computers, one screen. Even if you switch to the other computer while the application is loading, the application won't appear on the other computer.

Ubuntu ::show Only Applications Running On Active Workspace In Launcher?

Mar 1, 2011

I'm used to use several workspaces (6) for completly different tasks. In the netbook edition, the merged launcher/taskbar shows always ALL programs running on all workspaces. I don't like it, because it becomes confusing to have too many symbols from every workspace, even when on the active one only a few applications run. So is there a way to hide application symbols for applications which don't run on the active workspace?

Ubuntu :: 10.10 - Gnome Terminals Open At 80X23

Jul 8, 2011

In 10.10 I could open a terminal and it would open to the ordinary size 80x24. After upgrading to Natty, all my terminals open at 80x23 instead. Someone told me that it was due to the font size being large, but I don't want to use the obvious fix and decrease the font size. (I'm using the GNOME desktop, I hated Unity.)

Ubuntu :: Set Workspace Names Missing In Gnome 10.10 Maverick?

Nov 7, 2010

What has happened to the option to display names of each workspace on the lower panel bar?

Normally it was just a case of 'right click' any of the workspace and selecting 'Preferences', setting number of workspaces required and then using the name listbox to name each to desired title. In Maverick only the number of work places can be set; the list of names facility has been deleted from display. The current workspace name displays in the tooltip display as "workspace n", but there seems to be no easy way to change this title.

In 'gconf-editor' under schemas>apps>workspace_switcher_applet>prefs>displ ay_workspace_names it only gives the system message "...can't be edited..."

Ubuntu :: Gnome Classic - Lost Workspace Switcher After Upgrades?

Jun 16, 2011

I use the Gnome Classic DE in 11.04. Last night, safe-upgrade made a small number of package upgrades (three or four). When I rebooted my PC, this morning, my workspace switcher (the four tiny squares in the bottom panel on the right side of the screen) are gone. I use them regularly.Also, is there any history to identify what packages were upgraded last night so I can look for bugs?

Ubuntu :: Opening Multiple Applications With One Keyboard Shortcut?

I would like to open multiple applications with one keyboard shortcut but don't get it running. When I add (open "System" > "Preference" > "Keyboard Shortcuts"; clicked "Add" ) a new shortcut and enter many commands in the "Command" field e.g. "gnome-terminal & xeyes" only the first application is started. I also tried to set up a shell script that contains the application calls and then use "gnome-terminal -x "sh /path/to/the/script.sh" but then I get the error message "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal".

Debian Multimedia :: Dragging Windows To Another Workspace In Gnome?

Jan 9, 2010

I am an old XFCE fan, but would like to give Gnome a serious try (it has several things I like a lot).One XFCE feature I am missing is the intuitive capability to drag a window directly to another workspace. I did a bit of research and installed compiz (I am running debian testing on my laptop), but I am still unable to drag windows to another workspace.
Maybe I should tick the right option in compiz configuration manager, but I do not know where to start from. note that I am not after any eyecandy, I just would like to have this cute little feature of XFCE in my gnome environment.

OpenSUSE :: Workspace Switcher Bugged After Gnome 2.32 Upgrade?

After doing the upgrade per this thread my gnome panel gets bugged when the workspace switcher applet is attached to it. Also the Cairo Dock bugs out with the workspace switcher applet attached to it. I can change desktops with key commands fine. It would just be nice if this could be fixed. I am sticking with gnome 2.32 because of my affinity with Evolution which performs better in 2.32.

Ubuntu :: Opening Files From External Storage Devices From Within Applications?

OpenSUSE Install :: Gnome Panel Disappears When Switching To Another Workspace

Jul 16, 2010

Linux 2.6.34-12-desktop x86_64
Gnome desktop

I updated from v11.2. to v11.3.I have 4 workspaces defined. The Gnome panel shows only in the first workspace! When I switch to another one, the panel disappears. As you may imagine, this is rather inconvenient. Once I am in another workspace other than 1, my only option is to reboot since there is no way to navigate anywhere. How do I set up the Gnome panel to show in all workspaces?
