I'm running Ubunutu 10.10 (64-bit) and used the Synaptic package manager to install CompizConfig Settings Manager a few months ago, thus enabling lots of shiny window manager effects. I haven't touched these settings for months, but within the last few weeks I have noticed that I can no longer reposition any windows. This may have happened after applying some updates.I can still maximise and minimise windows, but I cannot move any of them - dragging the title bar has no effect whatsoever. How can I make my windows movable once more?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just had a really frustrating week of trying to get ubuntu and windows 7 to place nice together. Finally got both running correctly on the same machine.Problem I am having now is in ubuntu the nvidia drivers it told me to download and install use something called x server.I have played with every option I can find in the settings, and I dont see one to fix my problem.
Put simply I can not move any window from one screen to the other. It acts like two septate desktops. This wouldn't even be so bad if when I opened firefox or chrome on the other monitor it would open on that monitor. But neither does. They both open on monitor one no matter what screen I open them from.Ideally I would like to be able to grab a window and move it to the other monitor and vis versa just like you can in any windows install.Can anyone help me do this please? Or at least tell me how to make a browser stay open on the screen I open it from?
Having an issue with the new distro. I can't stand the new default UI (too cluttered) and don't currently have the time to learn how to customize it the way I want it, so I've reverted back to Ubuntu Classic.
I've now noticed that I cannot move or resize windows. If I try to click and drag on the title bar of a window, nothing happens. If I try to resize a window using the mouse, the mouse cursor will change to the resize cursor, but beyond that nothing will happen.
I've also noticed that some windows, like terminals or the "Shut down the computer" window are completely missing the title bar.

I was messing around with trying to install themes and I must have knocked something important in compiz settings as now I am unable to move my windows around on my desktop.
Now whenever I open an application, however it opens I can't move it.
how I can enable window movement again?
I cannot move any of my open windows. Also, the "X" in the corner of the title bar is gone.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've had enough with the malware that finds it's way into Windows. I currently have our home desktop (WinXP) which is plugged into our high speed cable modem. We also use a laptop (Windows Vista) downstairs which currently shares the internet wirelessly from our main desktop upstairs. Whenever we want to view pics, listen to music or surf the web, I just plug in my wireless router which is connected to the cable modem and my XP box.
How is it that I can still view my desktop's pictures, listen to my desktop's tunes and surf the web on my Vista laptop downstairs once I install Ubuntu on my desktop?
I'm trying to move from Windows to Linux, and one of the main things I need is working television. I'd like to ask: Is it possible? If so, what kinds of Linux can deal best with this? What exactly should I do? Should a newbie like me try this at all? I don't know if it helps, but my TV card is KWorld Global TV Terminator PVR-7131RF and the program I used to use for this on Windows was PVR Plus

I am able to view my windows network from my UBUNTU desktop after being prompted for a username and password to the windows network. No problem. But how can I accomplish this from the command prompt?
Here is my windows directory; smb://corpserver/d$/Data

Code:
mv /var/lib/mysql/RSecuredData.csv smb://corpserver/d$/Data/Common/Secured%20R%20Reports/$(date +%Y%m%d)_RSecuredData.csv
Basically taking a csv file and moving it from mysql directory on my Ubuntu machine to a network folder on my windows server. (Windows Server 2003)

i've switched over from windows7 and a feature that i really miss is to be able to use the Key Combination of Win(Super)+Arrow Keys to move the windows about.iE if i did super+Left the window would move to the left side of the screen and super+up maximized it.im pretty sure that there is some way to mimic this in ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a Wubi install of 10.04 in my C: partition. I had given it 20GB of space but over the months my C: has become almost full, so I need to move the Wubi install to another partition (say E. I looked around for instructions on how to do it, but I could only find instructions for grub-legacy (that ask you to modify C:/ubuntu/disks/boot/grub/menu.lst) and not grub2 (which doesn't have menu.lst) used by 10.04.
how to move a 10.04 Wubi install to another partition in Windows is appreciated. Kindly note that I'm not trying to remove Wubi and convert it to an actual installation, but rather simply move it to a different location in Windows.
I was wondering if it was possible to move your firefox settings from Windows such as bookmarks etc over to Ubuntu?
View 2 Replies View RelatedThough I am Linux user for sometime I only recently started using Ubuntu (starting from 10.10). So far so good. Last week I was suggested by the update manager to upgrade to 11.04. I went for it. After the upgrade it worked nicely; I was so happy. It provided Mac like menus and stuffs. An auto hiding side bar. With overwhelming interest, I started paying around with it. In that process, I turned on the Compiz cube. It warned me that it was going to disable the compiz wall; I confirmed that. And that was it. I lost everything.
Now no keyboard shortcuts (like Ctrl+f4, Alt+f4, Alt+f1, Alt+f2, Alt+tab) work. No Window borders; no task bar. There was a blank desktop. All I could do was right click and get a context menu. With that I created a shortcut to run gnome-terminal, started the terminal, typed google-chrome and then typing this in the forum. As I said earlier, I do not have any short cut keys. I f I want to go back to the terminal, I have to close this browser. I can't move/resize windows.
This problem on my user settings only - must have caused it myself in compiz
I also have nvidia card - I had to change the driver to the non recommended one

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had an older PC on which I had two SATA drives and an IDE one and on the latter I had Windows 7 installed (I kept it on that drive since I'm not using Windows 7 that often, I'm primarily using Debian as my daily go-to OS), but since then I got a new PC which has no connectivity for IDE, so I had to decommision the drive, and before I did that, I backed up the Windows 7 partition (and the second partition which I used mostly for storing sofware and stuff that I wouldn't want to get wiped after a fresh Windows install) using dd.
Not reading up on this on the internet, doing so with the intention to restore the partition image on the same spot on the disk, but since the SSD is larger than the IDE drive, I made the partitions on it bigger, so there's no chance the Windows 7 partition to be on the same spot on the disk. I tried booting into Windows 7 from GRUB after it successfully detected the Win7 install on the second partition on the SSD, but it just leaves me with a blank screen with a blinking white cursor, so I'm guessing it's not going to fly again. So my question to you: is it possible to ressurect the Windows 7 installation, avoiding having to reinstall Windows? (which would severly complicate things, having to backup and wipe the Debian install I have on the first partition...)
So far I've tried this to fix the Windows 7 install by pointing at the right disk "coordinates": [URL] ...., but I can't seem to get it to work, all I get is some error in regards to not being able to detect the disk's geometry (I think it was the number heads I couldn't figure out to input in the command line), so I couldn't fix it.
Alright, on my last Linux installation I know I did not get graphics lag this bad.
So I go to move a window around, Nautilus, Firefox, a Terminal, and when I move it it takes a second to reach the location and refresh on my screen, and if I move my mouse within that time period then it will move the window somewhere I did not want it.
I disabled Smooth Scrolling in Preferences => Advanced => General for Firefox but I do not think it helped. It takes ages to scroll to where I want it and by the time it gets there it keeps going because I scrolled too many times. I receive scrolling lag on seemly any document of text, this includes gedit as well.
I'm working on finding out what graphics card I have so I can see if it has Linux drivers. I know it is an ATI, but I have no idea how to get its name using Linux commands.
Graphics is getting distorted whenever I move windows along the screen. This happened soon after I installed KDE desktop and compiz fusion on my pc. I am having 1GB ATI MOBILITY RADEON HD 54 graphics card (Seems like that was the problem). The first fix that I tried: Installed qt-devel compat-libstdc++-33 and then created an xorg.conf file by installing system-config-display and edited the file to include radeon under drivers then restarted --> this didnt work Compiled ATI drivers for linux ---> this also dint work However, I can view the o/p clearly when I type glxgears Seems like the issue is with this. But I donno how to change this
glxinfo | grep direct -i
glxinfo | grep OpenGL -i
When I run the above command, the o/p includes direct rendering: yes" and also various OpenGL information concerning for "Mesa" but not for "ATI Technologies" I am facing this issue on KDE as well as Gnome.. In KDE, if I check activate Desktop graphics then I would get automatically logged out. In gnome if I select "Desktop Effects" then I get a message "3D acceleration not supported".

I edited fstab so that my Windows disk partition will be automatically mounted when I log on. However, when I delete a file from said partition, I am told that the item(s) cannot be moved to trash - I can only permanently delete files from the Windows partition. Here is how I configured in fstab: Code: /dev/sda1 /media/Vista ntfs nls=iso8859-1,umask=000 0 0 I suspect I mis-configured the options. Can anyone see an issue?
