General :: Get A Stroke Font On The Desktop?
Aug 3, 2010What i want to do is to have a stroke around my desktop font ( a black one ) since my screen wallpaper is kind of gray and the texts on it get really invisible.
I would like to know if i can do this only on the desktop fonts, since everything else looks fine.
I know it's really a hell of a lot easier to just change my wallpaper ( or edit it in GIMP ) but my moto on Linux has always been "If it can be done, why don't do it" ( I hope is sounds good in English too )

View 4 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Perform Double Click With Single Stroke?
Jul 19, 2010I am arthritic and I have considerable difficulty with a double click. I also have difficulty when using a mouse of moving the mouse as I select something (click the button) from whatever window I am working with and thereby selecting the wrong thing. To compensate for this difficulty, I use a Logitech trackball and program the center button to perform a double click with one stroke. I am currently struggling with Linux Mint 9 in my search for a Windows alternative. Is there any way to program my center button (scroll wheel) to perform a double click in this or any other Linux version? Alternatively, is there any way to program a keyboard key to perform a double mouse click with a single stroke? I do not want any multiple key combinations for this operation, I want something that works with a single click of one button.

Sep 23, 2010Here's a challenge I've been struggling for months with:
I have a bash script that reads URL addresses of our internal server and then executes some test commands on them. Something like this:
Code:
read -p "Enter URL: " url
sh execute-what-ever-to $url
After copy-pasting the URL the user taps the enter key and the script proceeds, but here comes the tricky part: I want this to work without the need to press the enter key after copy-pasting the URL.
"read -n" does not work in this case, as the URLs vary greatly in length. However, the URLs always end to the same string. They could be like "http://url1/END", "http://url2/END" and so on. So this ending string "END" could be theoretically used to recognize that the whole URL has been pasted.
Ubuntu :: Brightness Controls Were Not Working?
Mar 9, 2010I took the courage yesterday to install ubuntu 9.10. Internet was working absolutely fine (wireless), but brightness controls were not working (they still don't). So I went to this page https://wiki.ubuntu.co/Hotkeys/Troubleshooting, and ran following command(s) killall gnome-settings-daemon gnome-power-manager Now since then I cant get the internet working, and cant see the wifi connection on task bar. I have restarted the laptop but no avail.
PS: any help on how I can reduce the brightness of monitor. I am using SONY VIAO VGN FZ38M, with Nvidia 8400M GT. I have tried several threads and tried all sorts of things, like xbacklight, or somthing to do with sudo .VGA/LCD/brightness.etc.
Ubuntu :: No Window Controls After Upgrade?
May 3, 2010I upgraded from Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.4. After the upgrade I noticed the entire title barding the window controls to minimize/maximize/close a window disappeared.Resizing/moving a window is not possible either.At first I thought something went wrong with the upgrade, so I did a full reinstall, but using the same home dir (sda5 mounted to /home). The problem remains.
I can temporarily fix it by changing the visual effects to normal or extra, but each time I restart I have to do this again. The controls appear at the right side, opposed to the left side which I would have expected from this release.I realized that this must be something in my home dir, so I created a new user. For this new user, everything appears as expected, so it's most likely some configuration file left from 8.10 which 9.4 doesn't like

Ubuntu :: Parental Controls Software Available?

Ubuntu :: Seeking Router With Parental Controls
Feb 7, 2010a widow with 4 kids - 2 of whom have severe depression & signs that one may be suicidal and is taking interst in some dark garbage on the net. Overall still a pretty good kid, but he surely doesn't need help online to get further in a hole. The 15 year old boy is highly intelligent (whole family actually) and knows how to get around software parental controls with peer to peer, live disks, etc. There are several PCs - both windows and mac, and an X-box.
I want to set up the household with a router or similar solution that is smarter than the kid and his friends. I figure protecting the network is the most tamper proof, all-encompassing way to go. In the short term, I really want to lock that home net solid, while still allowing mom to do her facebook and the oldest to use the web for schoolwork. Dlink Securespot technology seems to be the best overall solution I have found so far. If there is something better, I'm hoping someone here can steer me to it.
Ubuntu :: Window Controls Gone - Unable To Drag
May 9, 2010Yesterday I adjusted the position of the windows controls back to what it was before, by using the configuration editor to set apps / metacity / general / button layout to "menu:minimize,maximize,close". At the time everything seemed good, the buttons moved, and it all worked. This morning I rebooted back into Lucid Lynx Ubuntu 64 bit, and now I find there are no controls on the windows, and I cannot even click and drag them, or double click the title bar to maximize! I checked, and the string I altered is still the same. I can still move windows with Alt-F7 and the mouse, and can resize by dragging out the bottom right corner.

2. Pause / stop to view something in more detail.
3. Rewind to view something again.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Upload Manager That Controls Speed?
Aug 27, 2010I was wondering if anyone knows of an upload manager, either native or wine, that allows the control of upload speed? I have one of those broadband plans that severely restricts upstream bandwidth, and while I'm uploading there is no room left for upstream communication, so I can't do anything else online but upload (boring). If I can limit my upstream speed to, say, 20KBps, it essentially frees all my downstream bandwidth and I can actually use my computer.
Currently, I've only tried plowshare for uploading, and though it seems to work well, it doesn't allow shaping...
Ubuntu :: Easy Way Of Using Controls In Iscan Or AcquireImages?
Sep 17, 2010I have an Epson Perfection V200 Photo scanner.It works as you would expect in XP.In Ubuntu, using the flatbed, not the transparency scan, real whites (white paper backgrounds) come out noticeably blue.This is annoying anyway & especially when printing afterwards.Note that even the scanner white background (left) is blue.The dark blue (right) is where the paper pulls away from the glass when it overlaps the scan area.Many of the other applications have several colour-correction tools, but I didn't find any simple way of using them to fix my problem.
Is this a common problem?Is there any way I can dial it out, once & for all?Or an easy way of using the controls in iscan or AcquireImages?

Ubuntu :: How To Choose Upper-left Controls For Clearlooks
May 25, 2010In Lucid Lynx, I've chosen the Clearlooks appearance, with customized colors, because of my liking of its overall looks. This choice of System > Preferences > Appearance comes with the "minimize, maximize, and close" controls in the upper right-corner.I'd like to get used to using these controls in the upper left-corner, because I gather that with Maverick Meerkat, this placement will be standard--and also because I think that this placement will actually prove more convenient for me, once I get used to it. How can I modify the Clearlooks appearance so as to put these controls in the upper left-corner?
