I have two applications that I would like to always open up in Workspace 2, even when i restart my computer. Is there a GUI solution that can do this? One of the apps is the Sound Preference window I would like set to open with the input tab selected.
View 1 RepliesHow do tell an application to open in a specific workspace?
More info:
I like to have my C++ IDE in workspace 2, my Java IDE in workspace 3, and my email, browser and miscellaneous in workspace four. I also use a shell script that executes upon log in code...
Of course currently it all opens in the current workspace... Is there a way for me to specify which workspace each command should start in?
I believe I may have found a bug in Unity. Under the right circumstances an application will jump from the workspace where I left them to my current workspace. This is most noticeable with VirtualBox. I built an Ubuntu 11.04 virtual machine so that I could test out new packages before I push them out to the rest of my machines. But the window for the virtual machine constantly appears in my current workspace. It may take a few minutes, or 30 minutes, but it will happen.
I can kind of understand it if a new window appears, but at least with VirtualBox, this happens on a running virtual machine seemingly randomly.
I am using ubuntu 10.04 and opensuse 11.3. I would like to know how to assign each application to a specific worksapce. For example，when I open a pdf file, it will be moved to workspace2. When I open a movie, it will be moved to workspace3. In Leopard, "Space" have such features. I would like to know the way to achieve this in ubuntu and opensuse, in an easy way, meaning that just need to install a small package, not a big one , like compiz

gnome-terminal -t mytitle; wmctrl -r mytitle -t 3
but this just causes the terminal not to launch.
I'm trying to make every workspace its own workspace basically including the bottom panels and their windows, e.g firefox, gimp etc... I want every workspace to to truly be its own workspace. If I open a window in work space 2, it should stay only appear in workspace 2. 1.How would I do that using compiz? I'd love to be able to have my virtualbox windows, go specifically to workspace 3. 2.Whats the best way to have a program go to a specific workspace using compiz?

When I have my primary monitor occupied with games I would like to keep evolution open on my 2nd monitor, however I don't see a way to:a) Drag it across the screen into the second monitorb) Have it automatically load into that second monitor workspacec) Change permissions to move it directly into a second monitor workspace, only workspaces within the primary monitor

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is a problem I encounter since I use workspaces (Since I use Linux) - and I never got used to it.When you click an icon of an application that needs some time to load before it spawns its windows, but change to another workspace during that time, the application will spawn its windows in the newly active workspace.This can't be the expected behaviour, because application load time decides where its windows spawn.In most comparable situations the behaviour is that the applications visuals are located where you "started" them.
For example, start thunderbird, then immediately Ctrl+Alt+F1 - Thunderbird won't appear in the text terminal.Or lets say you have a KVM-Switch - two computers, one screen. Even if you switch to the other computer while the application is loading, the application won't appear on the other computer.
Ideally I would like to set a keyboard shortcut to open a set of applications. The applications (mainly different gnome-terminals) should be opened in different, previously defined workspaces. I had a look around but could not find a simple solution (maybe it could be done in devilspie but I would like to avoid that).If I limit myself only to gnome-terminal and instead of using the keyboard shortcuts call the application in the shell the placement of the terminal can be done by using "--geometry" (see "man gnome-terminal" and "man X") e.g. "gnome-terminal --geometry 50x20+200+300". wmcrtl show me that my 6 workspaces are treated as one desktop (my interpretation - maybe wrong):
Code:
$ wmctrl -d
0 * DG: 7680x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,1 1280x1023 Desk 1

I'm used to use several workspaces (6) for completly different tasks. In the netbook edition, the merged launcher/taskbar shows always ALL programs running on all workspaces. I don't like it, because it becomes confusing to have too many symbols from every workspace, even when on the active one only a few applications run. So is there a way to hide application symbols for applications which don't run on the active workspace?

Code:
kstart --desktop 3 evolution
Is there an equivalent for GNOME/Compiz? I would preferably like to avoid using anything like Devilspie.
I have a number of applications that I like to have start when I log in. Is there a way to have them automatically open in a specified workspace? For example, I normally keep my e-mail in workspace 2 ('E-mail').
View 14 Replies View RelatedI use the workspaces a lot.It helps me de clutter my desktop.One thing that does bug me about it though, is that every time I start my PC or laptop I have to move the auto start apps to the workspace I want them on. They always kick off in Workspace 1, I want them in specific spaces.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have recently dual booted an Old Toshiba laptop with Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) It was recommended to me by a friend after XP was becoming unstable. To the Problem : I have downloaded Chromium as the web browser as I am not a fan of Firefox, but every time I launch Chromium... It launches into a random work space and not the one I am working in.. So I cannot open multiple Chromium windows.. So to find where it has launched it, I have to click work space switcher and find it.. If I click Maximise, instead of maximizing it to the work space limits... it makes it go over 2 seperate work spaces..

-Proteus ISIS (I don't know any linux application to do the same work)
-Modelsim (simulation for VHDL) and the same, I don't know any good replacement
-Xilinx (for validation and compilation of VHDL file and also creating test bech files)
-step 7 for Siemens automates programming (I don't know if there is any linux program related to this)

I am running a windows game on Ubuntu through Wine, but it is running slowly. My computer is only a year and a half old, and it has 4 GB's of RAM. Is Wine not receiving enough of the memory? If so, can I direct a larger amount of my ram to the program?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a while(1) loop, and the error is: glibtop: open (/proc/stat): Too many open files This error occurs after about a half hour to an hour of running. I've tried running this multiple times, both with using glib_close() at the end of the loop, using glib_init() and glib_close() at beginning/end, and just using glib_init(). The strange thing is these have no effect on the actual glib_get functions.

View 4 Replies View RelatedIf I am correct there is an official list(probably by Fedora itself) of packages/software included in each Fedora version, but I can't find it. I also have a couple of queries below.
1. There are always new applications, packages, games etc. being released for Fedora by open source developers and companies. Is there a good website where I can get a list of all these new packages etc, if possible an official one? I visit some sites such as Linux.com, but based on your own experience, I think you can guide me better.
2. In order to know which packages are installed on the Fedora machine one can type the following command, is that right?
Code:
rpm -qa
And this one gives the exact number of installed packages.
Code:
rpm -qa | wc -l

Is there any way to have workspaces on multiple rows without the workspace switcher added to a panel? I have limited screen space so i want to try and remove any unnecessary items. I have tried using a drawer, but the workspace application is not loaded until the drawer is opened once. Also note I am not running compiz as the computer is a netbook.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a workstation dedicated to monitoring. The goal is to have multiple web sessions and other applications running across dual screens on multiple virtual desktops. I have a nice Perl/TK/wmctrl script that will automatically rotate the desktops. All is working great.
The problem is, I need a solution to automatically start the applications on the correct desktop, with the correct window size, in the correct location on the desktop. That way we can start the monitor boxes in the morning and have everything start in the correct place. It is a really cool effect to have wall mounted monitors with cube rotation showing off multiple graphs and more.
Do any of you pros know how to start an application with a specific window size and define where on the desktop it is placed? The box is running OpenSUSE 11.4 KDE. Is that kind of control possible?
Just like the title says, it always asks me to go to the direct path.

My firewall , wich is an Ubuntu server 10.10 , have 3 interfaces:
eth0(192.168.0.254):linked to the DMZ
eth1(192.168.1.254):linked to the LAN
eth3(212.217.0.1):linked to the Internet
-The DMZ have one web server with a static address (192.168.0.1).
-My LAN address range is (192.168.1.2-192.168.1.100) managed by a DHCP server in the same firwall machine.
There are some of the rules that I need to set up :
-Allow HTTP between the LAN and the internet
-Allow HTTP between the web server in the DMZ, and the internet.
Is there a way to tell the firewall , to redirect all incoming HTTP requests only to the web server in the DMZ ?
Is there a way to change my resolution to something specific? I was trying to make my display "less-widescreen" when I accidently made it completely changed.
From the sax2 command, there is only 1400*1050 and 1600*1200, both that are not what I'm looking for and messes up my display. Now, I can't change it back to the original, much less the one I'm looking for (1600*900).
