Ubuntu :: Temporarily Disable Shortcuts On The Desktop ?
Dec 14, 2010
I'm currently trying to learn how to get around Blender, but I keep running into the same problem. Blender relies heavily on shortcuts and keystrokes to navigate it's GUI, but very often they clash with the shortcuts on my desktop. The result is that the desktop shortcut wins, making Blender impossible to use effectively.
Is there any way to disable the desktop shortcuts temporarily while using the software, and then setting them back when I'm done?

I'm looking to temporarily disable NetworkManager while I configure some things in a shell. It's interfering by auto-reconnecting and using the network interface in the process. I've tried killing the process but that just seems to disconnect the network not kill the NetworkManager applet. I don't want to uninstall, and I don't want to have it disabled on startup. I just want to "close" it or "turn it off" temporarily! How can I do this? Also, I'm using 10.04

Having an issue with PlaneShift in regards to this error in terminal:
Code:
Inconsistency detected by ld.so: dl-close.c: 731: _dl_close: Assertion `map->l_init_called' failed! On search of the PlaneShift forums, I saw someone state disabling OpenAL would fix this.
I've searched Google and these forums, but still can't find a guide to disable OpenAL. So how would I go about disabling this temporarily so I can get PlaneShift working?

Is there a way to just temporarily disable pulseaudio and use alsa instead?
Or run a program under alsa while letting pulse sit in the background?
I'm getting sick and tired of not being able to play any platinum games on wine...

Is there any way to temporarily "switch off (and back on)" the internet connection on a system (that runs linux)? The following methods are not allowed:Turning off the router. That would lead to a lot of angry young individuals. This method must be particular to my workstation.Use root privileges (coz I do not have them).
Yank the ethernet cable from the system.Why: Sometimes the internet proves to be a distraction.I am using the following system: Fedora release 11 (Leonidas), linux kernel 2.6.30 and GNOME 2.26.3

I've been playing WoW on my Ubuntu installation, but I'm having a bit of a trouble using certain keybinds. When holding down alt and pressing one of the mouse buttons, a shortcut button of some form is enabled and negates the keybind; ie: Alt + Right mouse button shows a grabbing hand, Alt + Middle Mouse button shows a diagonal arrow in a corner, and Alt + Left mouse button shows the context menu.
Surely this is something simple I've missed, but I didn't see anywhere to disable these in either keyboard shortcuts or keyboard / mouse options.

Is there any way I can install an older version of kde like the on on suselinux 10.1 because the newer desktops are very unstable on my computers. stuff closes, stuff freezes temperarly, fortunetly nothing perminent has happened yet but its been threating to abolish my computer. Ive had other cases like this end up making me reinstall my operating system and Id really like to just fix the problem before it happens. page down is overrun with this horribly lagging scroll.buttons look like there clicking occasionally and again it closes programs and has logged me out once already.

Is there any way to disable shortcut keys in XFCE Terminal ? I can't seem to bind the shortcut keys, and F1 especially really gets in the way for some programs. Have no clue who thought it would be a good idea to bind F1 to a stupid help screen, when many terminal programs need this. I am using fluxbox, so maybe this has something to do with it.

i cant't seem to find a way to do it.
I successfully add a keyboard shorcut to launch konsole manually with khotkeys, but i don't know what command to bind to move to right, left, up, down desktops like in ubuntu.
For example in ubuntu there is ctrl+alt+arrow and ctrl+alt+shift+arrow to move through workspaces and move windows between them. Not so in kubuntu.

Ubuntu 11.04 When I right-click a shortcut there is a selection to 'Resize Icon' but nothing to edit/change the icon. Going into properties, I cannot find anything there either. How is this done?

I simply cannot find anyway to create a simple desktop shortcut. I am Using Linux Ubuntu 11.04 with the Unity Interface. I love the panel on the side, but I would also like simple desktop shortcuts also. I can't do it. I tried dragging them on and nothing, I tried right clicking to see if there was an option and nothing. Where can I do this?

Like always Linux likes to make the easy tasks in life a little bit more difficult.
I have a NAS and Ubuntu 10.x I like to make a shortcut from a folder on the NAS drive to the desktop.
If i right click on the file and click 'Make Link' it tells me that the target does not support symbolic links.
So what can I do to make it happen?
is there maybe a way so mount the NAS like a fixed system disk? Because from the system disc I am able to make links.

I'm in a situation where we might see a few Ubuntu machines added to the fleet of systems here at work (school district). A problem that I'm facing is I would like to do a very, very simple task in Ubuntu, which is to create a shortcut share to a network resource. On Windows, you can right click - new - shortcut - \servershare, done. Then when you click on it, you have the appropriate permissions within the folder based on what permission settings exist on the actual server where the folder resides.
In Ubuntu, the closest I can get is to create these shortcut links on the left side of Nautilus in the bookmark pane. Here's the part that rages me to no end. If I log out and back in, they're ALL renamed to "smb". LOL. What. Really? I'd like to create shortcuts for several network resources. I'd like these links to either be within the Nautilus bookmark area, or within the desktop itself. Ubuntu is on the domain,

I know about hotkeys and setting up keyboards shortcuts.But say I had no keyboard like say a tablet.I have an s10-3t and I got compiz on it. I would like to be able to create shortcut icons for executing keyboard commands for use with compiz. All I would have to do is click the icon and it would execute. I would not have to remember all the keyboard shortcut commands I setup. I could also impress people I meet with it far easier.

For years I've had ctrl + alt + 1-4 (keypad) as shortcuts to desktop 1-4. It's worked flawlessly under everything from Slackware, through Debian and even the gnarled mess that Ubuntu is becoming.But now, ctl + alt + 1 dumps whatever window is active on my desktop to the bottom left corner of that desktop. Ctrl + alt + 3 dumps it to the bottom right corner;A7 goes top left and you can guess the rest.

I've started using the keyboard shortcuts in Linux Mint with the Gnome desktop, and I've found that they don't work unless I first click on the desktop with the mouse.
The problem occurs if I start with no application windows open, then open a single application, and later close it leaving an empty desktop. If any other app windows are open the keyboard shortcuts still work. But if there are no other windows open the shortcuts fail to work until I click on the desktop. It's as though the system fails to return the input focus to the desktop when the last remaining app window is closed.

I've used it recreationally in the past but am now attempting to deploy an OpenSUSE LTSP server in my wife's computer lab at her school. really like to make it easy for her to give the kids instructions for the day via a text file/pdf located on the kid's desktop. What I'd like to do since there's 500 kids that she teaches is create a shared folder for each grade that she just drops the assignment instructions into. I'd like to avoid having to add a link manually in each user's /home/*/desktop folder, so is there an easy way to do this?
In case the above isn't clear...
1) Create folder on teacher's desktop that is set to share
2) Create a link on each user's desktop to enable them to access said folder
3) Ideally, all new users will have a specific folder based on which usergroup they belong to (1st grade, 2nd grade, etc

I just installed XMMS and I want to create a shortcut on the desktop to run it. I found a how-to video for creating shortcuts so I have the gist of it (I was able to create one for Firefox) but I don't know where to find the executable file for XMMS to do the same. I just don't know enough about Linux's file structure to know where to look.

Non-root user cannot launch "shortcuts" (sorry I grew up on windows, don't know the right term) from the file manager or plasma desktop manager.They have full permissions to the shortcuts, even ones they create do not work.If I log in with root permissions they work fine

I'm managing a desktop that is several states away. The person I'm working with has no internet and the computer IQ of a twig. We're running Ubuntu 10.04 It's a Dell 230 Slim tower. Ubuntu keeps trying to suspend the machine randomly for no reason. I had him disable suspend in the BIOS because the computer was just suspending sporadically. Now he gets a popup that says "Failed to Suspend, the computer failed to suspend. The failure was reported as cannot suspend"
He is running a custom Ubuntu distro I made. I have this same distro running on dozens of other computers with no issues. I can't figure out why this is happening. Is there anyway I can completely disable anything that would make the computer suspend from the CLI? Or where are the logs that I can look at to see what may be causing this? I can SSH into his machine but nothing more.

I was experimenting with desktop sharing on my kubuntu and now the 2 windows opens after every login.How to disable it?
Also whats with the keyring manager? can I configure so that it does not ask password every time I login? It feels like I have gone back a decade in desktop computing dealing with these nagging features.
