On any video I play, the picture is on top of the drop down menus for the player so they can't be seen- they drop down and work and can see the parts that are to the sides of the video picture. This happens on every video player I have tried -Movie player GNOME MPlayer, VLC. The image that shows the problem had to be taken with a camera as using the screen capture looked as though the video picture wasn't even there (image also attached)
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm currently tweaking ubuntu to my liking. I got rid of the "menu bar" and replaced it with the "Main Menu". I don't like the black arrow on the Main Menu so I followed the instructions to get rid of it posted hereI got to the part where I type "sudo make" However, I get the exact error posted hereI tried to follow the solution, I installed libpanel-applet2-dev using synaptic. I tried to edit the "Makefile" in the directory /var/cache/apt-build/build/gnome-panel-2.30.2. However, when I opened this make file I did not find any line calledpanel-compatibility.$(OBJEXT) panel.$(OBJEXT) applet.$(OBJEXT)
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I right-click on firefox, the menu that appears is sometimes quite long depending on where on the screen I click, and usually the top option dissappears under that top Panel of Gnome shell, so that I have to guess and click on the panel to get an "Open in New Tab" (which is usually my first option.) Is there a way to make it remain within the visible area or something? I'm on Fedora 15 64-bit.

Part of the directions included doing -r to about everything connected to the original install. Now I still show "Windows Wireless Drivers" in the drop-down menu, but when I click on it, it "flashes" for a split-second, and then disappears.'ve tried re-installing it from Synaptic, and doing "sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-dkms" but it just returns saying that I already have the latest version.

I just upgraded to 10.04, and now I can't figure out how to customize the color of the system drop-down menus (Applications > Accessories, etc.). After I made a change to the appearance, the colors became all washed out (as in the screenshot), and now I can't figure out how to darken the drop-down menus. Anybody have any tips? My ultimate goal is a darkened version of the new Ambiance theme (think XFCE Dusk colors with Ambiance buttons and layout).If it helps, I just upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04, and I've had KDE, XFCE, and GNOME all installed (and most of each set is still there, as I'm experimenting with each one).Also, the system tray is no longer home to a sound volume button, is it supposed to be that way? How to I get one back up there?

I have Comcast Digital Voice service, which is technically VOIP but I think it interfaces with modems themselves just like any other phone service would.
I have a dedicated Ubuntu server sitting next to a phone jack already, so I'd like to use that if possible.
I've seen FreePBX and Asterisk, and hear that they can do the job. However, I haven't been able to tell just how easily they could be set up. It sounds like they might require me to get rid of all my phones and use soft phones instead... Does anybody know if it is as simple as buying a voice modem and configuring a PBX software to interface with it?
I was wondering how to make, what i know (ok vaguely remember) as a .bat file, or how to add a executable file to the drop down menues.i got freecol 0.9, and i can run it if i go into terminal, cd to the directory then type in java -Xmx256M -jar FreeCol.jarI bit obtuse, looking to know how to streamline.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist
View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is a bit of an odd problem that's been happening to me recently. My home folder is a version of Fedora old, I've been using the same one between Fedora 11 and 12 (which I'm now using).
When booting up, I notice that my system fonts are not the ones I have manually set. They're the ugly version, whatever exact font it is. It's only when I select System->Appearances from the menu that the system seems to detect my seletions to use Liberation fonts in all areas, and then everything instantly switches to the more visually pleasing Liberation fonts. This is a strange bug, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this or can point me in the right direction?
I'm an old-school dinosaur, and I'd like to understand how drag and drop works on the X window system under Linux. Is it build into the X protocol? Is it a function of the window manager? Do applications have to be aware of drag and drop? Is it both the applications and the window manager?I'm looking for a general technical understanding. If I have specific questions about how to modify an app to support drag and drop, I'll ask them over on Stackoverflow.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've just installed the xubuntu GUI on my ubuntu server and by default I only see Applications and Places on my top panel. There is no option to add the system menu under "Add new items", so I'm curious as to how to go about it.
On a side note, is there a way I can have the system boot into the original command prompt by default, and how can I enable and disable the GUI at my convenience?
