Ubuntu :: Programs Crash Whenever Close The Last Window?

Sep 21, 2010

I've recently installed ubuntu, and right away from a fresh install programs would crash whenever I closed the last window. It doesn't give me any error messages, so I don't know what the problem is , just poof the programs is gone and I have to launch it again. This happens in almost every program, I've used except rtythmbox. it's not a big deal for the small programs that load instantly, but for firefox or openoffice it's big pain in the neck.

my hardware:
Motherboard: INTEL LGA775 DDR-3 PCI-e X16 SATA MBOARD
Intel Core 2 Quad Processors: Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 2.5Ghz 4MB
CPU Processor Fan: REGULAR COOLING FAN & HEATSINK COMBO KIT
DDR3 240-pin MEMORY: 1GB DDR3 1333MHZ PC3 10600 SYSTEM MEMORY
Hard Drive: 1TB 1000GB 7200Rpm SATA HARD DRIVE

General :: Disallow Closing Last Emacs Window Via Window-Manager Close Button

Jul 8, 2011

I like to start Emacs as part of a login script and leave it running for the duration of my login session (which is typically weeks).

I have scripts to call emacs-client which will allow me to use a file-manager or Windows Explorer to locate files and right-click to edit them in Emacs.

I often end up with a lot of emacs windows (frames) open and I like to just be able to close them by clicking on the MS-Windows or KDE X button at the top-right.

The trouble is, if the window is the last one, this will shut down emacs which will lose all kinds of interesting history information.

As a work-around I use C-x 5 0 which won't let me close the last frame but this is often not as convenient as using the mouse

Does anyone know how to configure Emacs so that it can intercept the Window-Close button of the last frame to either request confirmation or simply disallow it?

On MS-Windows, disallowing closing of the last window may cause logoff to hang if emacs is still running but I'm not too worried about that.

Ubuntu :: Evolution Seems To Crash / Close Randomly?

May 27, 2010

Evolution for quite some time now, seems to be crashing n burning. Back when I had Karmic on, I lost a hard drive to that because it caused HD errors that became impossible to repair (at least beyond my knowledge on how-to). So I buy a new HD, and install Lucid Lynx, but the problem seems to continue...

I've been using Ubuntu on my machine dual-booting it since Jaunty.... but with Lucid I decided to drop Windows completely... I wasn't using it anyways... Ubuntu does all i need, and then some.

If only there was a fix for these random Evolution crashes... the program does not go grey, or unresponsive, it just vanishes, and I have to re-run it.

Ubuntu :: Wine - All Programs Close When Shut Down One

Dec 18, 2009

I'm having some trouble getting all my wines programs to work together. When I change workspace or minimize dvd decrypter it disappears but is still running in the background, this is fixed by running it in an emulated desktop but I would like to have it working without the emulated desktop. When I have dvd decrypter in an emulated desktop and autogk running if I close dvd decrypter it closes all wine apps. I think wine shuts down everything when its emulated desktop is closed.

Ubuntu :: Programs Close Randomly - Result Been Crashing Most

Feb 17, 2010

I've never seen this before, but for the past few days whatever I'm working on has had a tendency to close out with no warning. Just in the last two days evince, empathy, and eclipse have closed randomly. Since I use eclipse constantly and as a result it's been crashing the most I went ahead and started it from the command line. Here's the output I get when eclipse closes:

[code]...

it appears to have something to do with the "decorator," but disabling compiz all together doesn't fix it. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit. The issue seems to have started shortly after installing a triple-core processor - but I'm not sure that's related.

Ubuntu :: Installed Todays Updates Now Can't Close FF Window

Oct 12, 2010

Everything was fine and dandy then I installed tonight's updates (about 6 of them - 2 or 3 for GTK and a couple of others) and now the close button at top right of the Firefox window doesn't work The buttons are still there, and the minimize and restore work ok, but the close button just flickers and leaves the window open. Also, if I right-click the tell-tale in the bottom bar of the desktop and slect "close" nothing happens. The FF window stays there

I can't think of any other way to close the window besides ending the processes in System Monitor. I can open other windows (like Home folder or Synaptic) and close those without a problem by clicking on the close button. It's just Firefox with the problem, so I don't think it is a Window Manager problem.

Ubuntu :: Lost Window Title Bar And Min/max/close Buttons

Apr 30, 2011

Just recently,on occassion when I log in to my main user, I don't get the Title Bars, or windows minimize, maximize, close buttons.

I have tried changing theme

I have noticed that running the "compiz" command from the main manu will restore the title bars etc, and that my second user (created yesterday) does not have that problem.

How can I diagnose what is going wrong ?

Ubuntu :: [11.04] Keyboard Shortcuts Do Not Work After Window Close

May 10, 2011

1. I open an application e.g. terminal

2. I close the application's window

3. Keyboard shortcuts do not work at all and if I want them back working, I have to click on the desktop's background I bet it has something to do with focus or compiz settings, because I've already had some problems with those in Unity. Now I'm on the "classic" ubuntu desktop. It didn't happen before upgrade..

Ubuntu :: Programs Silently Crash When Mem Use Is High

Feb 4, 2010

I'm a Linux noob. I'm using Karmic on a laptop with 1.5GB RAM and same as swap partition. Generally I'm happy with the mem usage. I have MySQL, SVN, Apache/PHP/xdebug, firefox w/ dev addons, Eclipse PDT and, of course, my music :) running at the same time, generally ok. I have the System Monitor's mem display on the top bar (dunno proper name) and can watch usage increase. Also the swap file's often only 100 - 300 megs.

However... from time to time I notice that as the programs' mem use gets close to 100% in the little sys monitor display the HD thrashes for 5 - 10 mins, after which some progs have silently crashed. AFAIR it always involves Eclipse (so maybe I should post on their boards), but not only. This last time I lost VLC and therefore my music. Obviously losing your music's far more important than losing some coding, so that's why I'm trying to resolve it now:)

I'm running Munin on my system (tho not because of this issue) and took a look at mem usage immediately before it happened. Here's the pic - you can see the sudden drop as the two progs (only AFAIK) closed on the very right side of the image. I'm not a guru here and am not sure if there's much to infer. I know some recommend 2xRAM for swap, but max committed was only 2.29 compared to potential 3, so that shouldn't be a problem? In fact the swap file never got large at all AFAICT. (Btw swappiness = default = 60.)

Ubuntu :: Double-click Menu Button To Close Window?

Apr 22, 2011

I've been using this feature since Win3.1 days. Double-click the menu button on the top-left of the window to close it.It doesn't work for me right now in KDE, and I can't find any option to enable it. Googling gave a few hits of people requesting this feature in gnome, but no clear instructions on how to enable it in KDE or whether it's possible. (Though perhaps my Google-fu is just weak...)

Fedora :: KDE Becomes Not Responding Everytime When Close A Window

Mar 21, 2010

I'm using KDE. I installed codecs for playing songs today, and tried to play a song using amarok. It didn't work, rather flooded my tool bar and the system hanged and I rebooted. It was fine before, but after I rebooted, a new problem raised.

Every time I close any window, something changes, and the windows lose their title bars (minimizing, maximizing, closing option), and neither it can be closed from the tool bar (bottom) panel, nor can be moved. The Kickoff Application launcher is also not working. Every time i close a window, I got to log out and re log in. I tried to change in the System Settings>Appearance but nothing works, and even when I close that window, the same happens.

Ubuntu :: Closing 3 Window Bars - Dont Have The Minimize Maximize Or Close Buttons

May 20, 2010

So I have these three bars that I suppose are some kind of left over fragment of windows I had up the last time I rebooted. Anyhow, whenever I boot now, these three bars show on my desktop, and I cant get rid of them, they dont have the minimize, maximize or close buttons. Yet when I click the, "show desktop" buttom, they then minimize. HOwever, they don't show up on my window list. I've tried restarting my xsession and that didnt work, I've restarted nautilus that didn't work, I cant right click on them, I already tried xkill and force quite and that doesnt work. They're just always there.

Fedora :: Minimize Resize Close Buttons Window 15 Gnome 3 Gconf 2

Jun 4, 2011

No where are how enable get back minimize resize close buttons windows top tab Fedora 15 Gnome3 gconf2

There is a question about this in this thread but the thread title did not have any of the above words in it and since most "new" folks don't think to use the "posts" option, I thought I'd make a new titled post.

This seems to be a big irritant of a lot of people around the net with Gnome 3 so I'm going to confirm what other people have said about how to fix the situation.

In "add software" enter this search term:

gconf

You will see quite a few returns, you should click the following:

A process-transparent configuration system (G Conf1-2.3 yada yada)

Graphical Gconf untilities (it may be pulled with the above however).

Install it/them.

One can then type "Gconf2" in terminal and it will open but then close when the terminal is closed, or one can go to activities/applications/tweak advanced settings( the symbol will be the same as for settings in Gnome 3).

In the "Shell" button one will see "Arrangement of buttons on the title bar". Surprisingly, "All" will already be apparent. One need merely verify that it is on "all".

Close gconf.

Nothing will have happened in terms of new buttons even if one closes and opens, say FireFox.

Then reboot.

After the reboot, all three buttons will be present.

There are not a LOT of configuration items in gconf2 but this one seems to be of paramount importance to a lot of people.

One can also do it from command line, and if someone wants to post that please feel free it won't hurt my feelings.
