Ubuntu :: Taskbar Item Key Mapping

Mar 3, 2010

I am very very productive with the new Windows 7 taskbar. The ability to press Winkey + # to either:

1) Minimize that window if it is the window that currently has focus set to.
2) Restore the window the key combination is pressed but the window is not currently open. For example, if Firefox is the third tab across the bottom of the taskbar, and not currently open, I would like <Super> + 3 to restore this window for me, instead of having to do alt + tab, tab, tab, tab [OH! Now I finally got to it!]. I just work much faster with this convenient shortcut.

The Problems

1) I need to know how Ubuntu remembers the current location of an item on the taskbar. It must, as you are able to re-arrange items with a drag of the mouse. I need this to find out what item #, so when I press <Super> + num I can figure out what is the numth window across the bottom currently.
2) I need to know how to execute something like [psuedo-code for bash script]:[ie: How do I minimize? How do I check if a window is currently the focused window? How do I make it the current window?]

I am a programmer, I am willing to figure this out for myself at least partially, but how the hell do I find #1 without diving into thousands of lines of source? I could use some push in the right direction. I just switched to Ubuntu a month ago [from Windows, but I was very much a power-user and know my way around it well].

Ubuntu :: Remove Grub 2 Menu Item?

Mar 2, 2010

I am dual booting Windows 7 sda1 and Ubuntu 9.10 on one hard drive. The second hard drive is data only. My grub menu shows at the end of the menu

Windows 7 sda1
Windows 7 sdb1

I think this is because I had a bad "A" drive that I just replaced and before that I did a lot of changing of the mbr and grub commands. So there must be something on the "B" or second drive that is causing this. Right now everything is fine with my computer and this is just house keeping. I would like to delete the "Windows 7 sdb1" menu Item if possible. Just to be clear, windows boots with the sda1 command (first menu Item), and the "windows 7 sdb1" does nothing at all.

Ubuntu :: How To Remove A Menu Item From Terminal

Jul 12, 2011

I'm looking for a way from the terminal to remove certain menu items from the System | Administration for certain users. I'm working with a CyberCafe style application so user accounts come and go and I wanted to see if I can set it up that after an account is created that it will do some customisations.

I've found examples of adding menu items but nothing specific to removing via the terminal.

I think I may already know the answer to this. The Alacarte application simply manages the XML in the settings.menu to hide menu items and that if I want to do any customisations from the terminal I will need to play with this XML file to hide things.

I'd like the customisation per user rather than a blanket removal for all users

Ubuntu Installation :: How To Add Item To System > Administration Menu

Jun 20, 2010

I just upgraded my Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 10.04. Part of the Ubuntu 9.10 installation was GParted (version 0.4.5) and I saw, after upgrading to Ubutnu 10.04, there was a more recent version available: 0.5.1.

After installing that version, GParted was still part of the System > Administration menu (just as it was before).

But then I saw the version 0.6.0 of GParted was recently released and there was also a .deb distro available.

After downloading and installing the 0.6.0 version of GParted, the item GParted disappeared from the System > Administration menu and appeared in another menu (Applications > System Tools).

My question: how can I get GParted back as part of the Systems > Administrations menu?

Ubuntu :: Manually Configuring An Applications Menu Item?

Mar 6, 2011

I've tried to create a menu shortcut to start the application by using various commands:

sudo /usr/local/netbeans-6.9.1/bin/netbeans

and I also created a sh script that essentially attempts to execute the above command in a bash script so the command line states:

/home/myaccount/startnetbeans.sh
(startnetbeans.sh is defined as exectuable, also tried "sh "/home/myaccount/startnetbeans.sh"') and in all cases when this menu item is select it does absolutely nothing.

If I try any of these options from a terminal windows they work fine. Why the difference?

Yet another problem, I have to use EDUROAM in university, when i use Debian, with the same strength of signal, it can not make a connection, but can be very well used in Windows. I am suspecting 'Network manager'.

General :: Possible To Queue An Item In Postfix By?

I'm wondering if it's possible to create mail packages and put them into the postfix queue simply by writing files to the hard drive.Currently I have a script which uses a socket connection to dump the data in, but if I could write it directly to the hard drive this would speed things up considerably. Is this possible?

Programming :: Bash Array - More Than One Value Per Item?

Nov 28, 2010

Is it possible to have an array in Bash that can hold more than one value per item?

For example I would like an array like this:

Entry 1: apple, green
Entry 2: banana, yellow

And be able to call the fruit names and their colour in a list. Something like:

for fruit in "${array[@]}"
do
echo a $fruit is $colour
done

If that is possible, is there a limit to values per item? For example some entries in an array could be:

Entry 1: apple, green, round, pips, tree
Entry 2: banana, yellow, long, skin, tree

And I would like to pick out the values such as #3 being "round" and "long".

Ubuntu :: Remove A Menu Item From The Indicator Applet Session?

Apr 6, 2010

The indicator applet session gnome-panel applet (the one that lets you change your status for empathy/pidgin, logout, switch user, etc.) has the suspend and hibernate options. My computer will not suspend or hibernate properly (every time I try to wake it up, the hard drive will work for about 4 minutes and the screen will stay blank so I have to restart) and I would like to remove those items from the menu. I would just like to know if there is a way to remove the hibernate and suspend items in the indicator applet session menu. I've already tried browsing around gconf-editor to no avail. If it is not possible, let me know

Ubuntu :: No GNOME Login Sound Item In Startup Applications?

Aug 5, 2010

In Lucid Lynx, I am trying to change my GNOME login sound, and I find you can't do it under System -> Preferences -> Sounds anymore. So I followed the recommendation of every search result relating to "gnome login sound" and tried to modify it under System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. However, there is nothing relating to the GNOME Login Sound or any other login sound in my startup applications list.

How do I add GNOME Login Sound to make it an option in the Startup Applications list? How could it not be there to begin with?

Ubuntu :: Removing Item From Nautilus Places Menu - Not A Bookmark?

Aug 28, 2010

I was trying to install Sim City 4 Deluxe when somehow through my mounting an un-mounting of the two ISO's nautilus decided to make an entry in the places menu. I've searched through the forums and most of what I'm finding is how to remove things like the network and desktop items.

Here are three screenshots showing what I mean. Number one shows the entry I am talking about, specifically the SC4DELUXE1 entry. Number two shows that just right clicking and selecting remove like many threads suggest does not work here as it is grayed out. Lastly number three, this is the error I'm given when I left click the entry.

I finally figured out how to fix this. I simply went into the disk utility. Under peripheral devices the unwanted device was listed. Click the check file system button after selecting the device. It reports back that the file system is not clean and removes the device.
