Ubuntu :: Script To Toggle Window Visibility?
Apr 4, 2011
I need a script/tool/whatever to toggle visibility of a specified window. I'm using Ubuntu with GNOME and compiz. I found wmctrl which can maximize, minimize windows and so on, but it couldn't make a window "hidden". There is even a option for it, but it doesn't work (neither for me nor for this guy creating this manual: [URL]
So my question: Is there another way to toggle visibility of a window? Any tool for that or even any commands for a bash script?

Ubuntu 10.04 seems to have lost a feature in window management, or more likely I forgot how I set up the behavior I have. Here's my problem:
The windowshade behavior caused by double clicking the title bar of a normal sized window seems to have disappeared in 10.04.
A double-click on the title bar of a window caused it to roll up, like a window shade. This made the main part of the window disappear leaving only the title bar visible. Another double-click restored the window to normal size.
Yes, there is a setting in the compiz-setting-manager (General -> keybindings -> toggle window shaded) that will toggle window shade from the keyboard. However the double-click toggle has gone away.

How would I demonstrate that the prior content of a memory resource that has been allocated to one user process is no longer visible when that memory resource is freed and reallocated to another user?

I'm trying to run a command or rather a shell script provided by a vendor that installs its products. The script is "installscape". After running the script, the command prompt returns, a window for installscape pops up but immediately closes. No other messages or notification is provided. This used to work on this machine, so I'm being told by the vendor that it's my OS install. Is there any way I can get more visibility into what's going on as I run this?

so, last night i checked my e-mail, jumped on facebook for a minute and went to bed. i got up this morning and my computer seemed frozen; no mouse/keyboard, no network visibility.....nothing. the screen was just frozen. tried too ssh into it to reboot, but the network wasn't up on it. i had to hard reboot. NOW, it just reboots forever....and ever....and ever. i have a WinXP partition on there along with my F12 and that wont boot either. selecting a previous kernel does nothing either. it wont even boot off the F12 install DVD. just keeps rebooting. I've never had this happen to me. so, it seems like a hardware thing to me, but i dont know if its my mobo or the drive. i suspect a mobo issue as the drive still spins up and gets me to the grub menu.

10.04 with LXDE via Synaptic (not actually Lubuntu). I just noticed that in the dialog LDXE Main Menu / Preferences / Main Menu
- the LDXE Main Menu / System / Administration submenu is set as visible, but is actually HIDDEN
- the LDXE Main Menu / Applications / System Tools / Configuration Editor entry always remains VISIBLE, no matter if set as visible or hidden.
So it seems that visibility settings and actual visibility do not stay in synch. Is there a way to resync, either way, visibility settings and actual visibility? Or, which config file(s) may contain error?

how do I toggle between breadcrumbs and location bar? Ctrl L just doesn't do anything, just gives focus to the already existing location bar.
I'd like breadcrumbs back.

I would like to toggle between 2 or more wallpapers on my 4 desktops (Compiz) with a simple hot key. Is there a command I can add to the Compiz command settings that toggles between 2 wallpapers?

I got rid of my bottom panel, but I am still used to 'Show Desktop' button right in the bottom left corner. I was just thinking is it possible to Toggle 'Show Desktop' state just by moving my mouse in that corner?I was thinking of using wmctrl and compiz commands edge biding, but my problem is that wmctrl has two different commands - one for showing desktop one for hiding. But I want to toggle.

I can't use function key combination to toggle between connected monitor and laptop monitor of my Dell N4010, running Ubuntu Natty.This happens in Unity interface only. In gnome (Ubuntu classic), function key combination works fine.When I press Fn+F1, it acts similar to pressing super+F1.

My 3 year old daughter has shown me up and appears to have enabled the 'Visually impaired setting' for the 'Log on' screen; the problem is that I'm not sure how she did it and, naturally am unsure of how to undo what she did.She has her own account which has limited privileges, I'm assuming that whatever she did she did from the initial 'Logon' screen.

I'm using an IOGEAR KVM Switch to switch between my newly built PC and Xbox 360. I've been using it for a while on my 360 with no problems, but to switch inputs you have to use a hotkey on a keyboard that is connected to the KVM switch (there is no button on the KVM switch to toggle between inputs). My KVM switch is compatible with Linux, but each time I plug in my Logitech Wired Wave keyboard into my KVM switch and use the hotkey it fails to switch the input. The hotkey is the Scroll Lock key on the keyboard, and the Logitech Wired Wave keyboard doesn't have a key dedicated to that function.
So I use the key combo for Scroll Lock, which is Fn + Pause/Break. I haven't mapped out all the keys on this keyboard yet, but I figured it should already be mapped out, since all the other basic keyboard keys are working. I managed to switch the toggle key from tapping the Scroll Lock key (combo) twice to tapping the Control key twice, after finally figuring out the manual's long and convoluted key combinations to change the input toggle key setting. If anyone else encounters this problem I would direct you to the Page 11 of the product manual, which is available at the product page linked to above.

I need to read and write to a serial device. When I connect via gtkterm, I need to toggle DTR before I can communicate with the device . My problem is that I cannot emulate this in C++.
I want to write some code that can setup a comport, toggle the DTR, then read and write strings to the port. However all my attempts have been fruitless. My serial settings are B9600, No parity, no hardware control, 8 bt characters and 1 stop bit:
Code:
#include <iostream>
#include <SerialStream.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
using namespace LibSerial;
[Code]...

Now that nVidia is up and running, I'm curious to do a comparison with Nouveau. I there an EASY way to do this? Like a simple on/off switch? Major system/kernel changes are not an acceptable option. If it can't be easily done, I'll just stick with nVidia.

How do I get the middle button on my X220 to toggle scrolling with the Trackpoint?
And when I installed I couldn't get it to boot from USB in UEFI only. Why is that? How do I fix that so I can do a quick reinstall before I do too much else.
And before I do that reinstall is there anyway to backup the 300MB+ update that I just downloaded because I have appalling internet?

I often have a need for an icon on my panel or any place that toggles between two states. Example: click the button once and it turns on the Internet (1), click the button again and it turns off the Internet(2), click the button again and it turns the Internet on again (1).The only way I know is to have a script create and delete a file. If it finds no file, it runs operation 1 and creates a file. If it finds the file, it runs operation 2 and deletes the file.

How do you toggle between the button and text-based location bar in Nautilus in Lucid. I can only get Nautilus to show the directory path as buttons and not as as text based in the form of /home/Desktop.Previously there was a button to toggle between them.

Background: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.
When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.
In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.
I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.
I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:
Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1366x768 59.99*+
1360x768 59.80 59.96
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
[Code] ....
Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?
I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...
The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.

Powerdevil has been a pain for me for as long as I've use it, since KDE 4.3.1(Even Pre 4.3.1, up to 4.4)... It doesn't toggle when I unplug the AC adapter and doesn't toggle between power management modes, so in-turn shuts off immediately without any notification that power has ran out. When I ran 'acpi', AC Adapter indicates properly when I unplug it and plug it back in, so I would rule out an ACPI issue, no? Is this a bug in Powerdevil?

I want to create a script which toggles a daemon (here proftpd). On the first execution it should start it and on the next one it should stop it but first check if proftpd is already running or not (and make the decision to start or stop on that).I have created this script:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
# proftpd-toggle

as many others I don't need CapsLock. I want to reassign it such that it has the function of AltGr. I use Kubuntu 9.10 but I think there must be a solution which is distribution independent.
I already tried to use setxkbmap or xmodmap. Using xmodmap at least I managed that CapsLock to behaves like Del by following this description.
But I could not achieve assigning the AltGr behavior to CapsLock.

Is there a DBus command (or some other way from the command line) to toggle auto-hide on a panel in KDE Plasma? (I'm running KDE 4.6.)
I have a game I run in WINE that doesn't work right if it's autohidden and it would be nice to run it from a script that takes care of that for me.

I'm on a Dell Inspiron 6000. I installed i8kutils and it works. Fan speed reduces CPU temp from 50C to 44C. A start-up script invokes the i8k module: $ udo /usr/sbin/modprobe i8k force=1 which creates /proc/i8k. The man page for i8kctl is straightforward: a few simple commands to read info from the aforementioned file.So. I know nothing about writing even basic bash scripts. I gave it a go here but I know this is way wrong. Would anyone like to help a guy out? This is my starting point (don't laugh):
Code:
#!/bin/bash
# script to toggle fan speed low/high
[code]...
