Ubuntu :: Reduce Number Of Workspaces Through Terminal?
Aug 21, 2010
I tried to check how many workspaces my desktop could have at once, and it got stuck at 36. Now i can't reduce the number. When I click the workspace switcher, and press "preferences", the preferences screen flickers like crazy, and I can't change it. The window title bars and borders are altso gone, but gnome is running. I don't have compiz running.
Is there any way of reducing the amount of workspaces, through gconf, or terminal?

I only use one workspace anyway, so I was wondering if there was any benefit to removing the other three? By that, I mean performance-wise benefits.

On older versions of Fedora, I right-clicked on Workspace Switcher and in Preferences window I could change the number of Workspaces.
I Fedora 10, I can only choose between 'Show only the current workspace' and 'Show all workspaces in <No of rows>'.?
How can I change number of Workspaces from 4 to 6 on gnome in Fedora 10?

I am not sure if this is really a Ubuntu question but lets try it!Received email shows a long header which includes lines of code. I can scroll through it but I can't reduce the number of lines on screen.This significantly reduces the number of lines available for the message. There must be a way to reduce or eliminate this header.

I have a rack of four 1TB drives all partitioned identically with three primary partitions. On each drive
- the first partition is only 64MB;
- the second is a large 900GB partition and
- the last holds all the remaining space
mdadm has been used to set up
/dev/md0 - RAID1, comprised of /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1
/dev/md1 - RAID5, comprised of /dev/sda2, /dev/sdb2, /dev/sdc2, /dev/sdd2
/dev/md2 - RAID5, comprised of /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb3, /dev/sdc3, /dev/sdd3
OK, so it was a silly mistake to make - but I am now need to increase the size of /dev/md0. My thinking is to reduce the size of md1 so that I can grow md0.
On md1 I have two logical volumes. I've successfully reduced the size of the volume so that I can reduce the size of md1. Now I'm at the nervous stage; I can find little written on the topic of shrinking RAID5 arrays - and even if I do this I'm unsure if I can move partitions around to regain the space I so desire.

In KDE's Konsole, I can do the following from the terminal:
dcop kwin KWinInterface currentDesktop
And it will tell me which desktop my terminal is connected to ( per [URL])
How can I determine what desktop number the current gnome terminal in a gnome session is connected to?

I have VNC set up on my desktop. I would like to set it up so that I can sit on my desktop and do things while someone else connects on VNC on one of the other workspaces and do things. Is this possible? I know it sounds weird.

I recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop. I've got access to both the Netbook Edition and the Desktop Edition, so I tried booting into the Desktop Edition since I prefer to use this.
Within it, I cannot use Alt-Tab to move between multiple windows. I don't have access to moving between workspaces; rather weirdly, I can move a window to a different workspace by right clicking on the application and selecting to move it to a different workspace but I cannot use Ctrl-Alt-Right or Left to move between workspaces, nor can I use Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Left or Right to move a window from one workspace to another.
I have checked the Keyboard Shortcuts under the System->Preferences side. Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Right/Left and Ctrl-Alt-Shift-Right/Left are all set as the commands for Moving between Windows using the popup window, moving to the right/left workspace and moving a window to the right/left workspace respectively.
I've seen a lot of people saying that they have problems when they've got compiz installed and alt-tab causes problems with this, but I don't have compiz installed.
Since I used sudo apt-get upgrade -d from my old 10.04 Netbook Edition, am I missing packages to correctly run the Desktop Edition?
Note: Within the Netbook Edition, I can use multiple workspaces and Alt-Tab does work, but the UI is very slow and causes the system to lag whenever I open an application.

I have been told it is possible to alt tab programs on different workspaces. The people that have done this on kde 3. How do you enable this on kde 4? I would really like to use this feature.

I am running ubuntu 9.04, and need to change the number of workspaces to 1 from the command line. I am using this command in a script:gconftool --set -t int /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces 1I can confirm in gconf-editor that the value is changed, but I can still scroll over to the second workspace with the mouse wheel

I had named all my workspaces earlier today, and it was great help in organizing my workflow. However, I went to turn on some compiz effects (to improve the visual ergonomics of my work environment), and now I notice workspaces are acting a bit strange.I can no longer drag a window onto one of the workspace boxes in the bottom right to move the window. Also, if I left click the workspaces pane and go into properties, I can now only change the rows and columns, not the workspace names. This is a bit strange, and I see no reason that enabling compiz should cause this kind of problem.I can right click a title bar and send the window to a different workspace that way, but because they're not named, it's hard for me to organize my desktop this way

in Ubuntu 9.10 I was able to move windows on the fly between workspaces, but now I can't in Lucid! I should right click on a window and tell it to move right or left. I hate to do that!

How can I make workspaces have names under 10.04? Under 9.10 I can given different workspaces different names, under 10.04 I can't. Workspace-switcher-preferences has less options.

So I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to 10.4, and the first thing I notice is that I can't drag the windows to other workspaces except from the small box down on the left, which is too small and annoying for me, I want to drag the window from the title bar. I can't find where to change that in the system, does anyone know how?

I normally don't switch between workspaces. In older versions I had done it just to try it out. And the files that were on the desktop in Workspace #1 were not there in any of the other Workspaces, but now in 10.04 they are. Is this the way it should be? Or is there something I need to set to have a clean desktop in the other Workspaces?

Switching workspaces in Sauerbraten
just love the game, I play when things are quiet on the system. but I can not figure out to swap workspaces. the ctr-alt-right/left doesn't work in Sauerbraten. I run it in it's own workspace, but when I need to change to the other workspace with all my "work" apps I have to exit the game (sometimes right in the middle of a roll) and then I can switch to the work workspace
needless to say, in the middle of lost, level 9 or any others. it's a bummer to have to quit out to deal with a 30 second issue.

Just like the title said, I was fooling around with different workspaces - seeing if I could close a program in one workspace while working in another - and I seem to have either deleted or hidden all of my workspaces!I've already tried the gconf commands and they don't seem to work at all.I'm running 11.04.TYOK... a quick update. I can get to my other workspaces using ctr+alt+ right arrow, so the workspaces are still there, I've just hidden or removed the switcher applet!

I know that there is a way to do this with the keyboard, but I have grown quite fond of having my four workspaces showing in my utility (task) bar at the top of the screen. How do I re-enable this?

Multiple workspaces don't seem to work on this computer in Ubuntu 9.04, though they have in virtually every other distribution (including Ubuntu 8). The relevant specs of this computer:
* 2.0 GHz Pentium 4
* 512 MB RDRAM (arrrggghhh!)
* ATI Radeon 7500 64 MB Graphics Card
I've tried other steps, including adding the Workspace Switcher applet. Indeed it is present. However, clicking on another workspace does absolutely nothing, and "sending" a window to, say, Workspace 3, just makes it disappear. Likewise, CompizConfig Settings Manager seems to be useless in this situation too. I have had success with multiple virtual desktops in almost every other distribution of Linux on this computer, usually right out of the box.
