Ubuntu :: Thunderbird Icon Gone From Workplace Switcher?
May 8, 2010
I have noticed the Thunderbird icon is missing from my workplace switcher. It just shows a blank box in whatever workplace Thunderbird is. The Firefox logo works and the icon displays in the panel.Is anyone else having this problem, and does anyone know how to get it to display in the workplace switcher.Ubuntu Studio:2.6.31.21 64 bit.I have seen old threads where the icon is missing from the panel, but none relating to the workplace switcher.

I've attached 2 jpeg screenshots. Look at the center of the top panel and you'll find my Workplace Switcher. In the Ambiance screenshot, the Workplace Switcher clearly shows that Google Voice is open in the 2nd workspace because it shows that icon there. In the Custom screenshot, the Workplace Switcher shows there's a window open in the second workspace, but no icon to identify what's in the window. I've checked all available controls, and only Ambiance and Radiance correctly show icons for most open windows in the Workplace Switcher. Does anyone know how to make controls from other themes work with Workplace Switcher the way that Ambiance and Radiance do?

I did my best to search for any solutions but came up empty-handed. Is it possible to reduce the size of the dash icons in Natty? They are unnecessarily massive for my taste. Please note that I am not talking about the launcher icons which can be resized in Tweak.
Is it possible to remove the workspace switcher icon from the launcher? [solved] I've removed the places icons as per this thread and wouldn't mind removing this icon as well.

switched to Lubuntu from Ubuntu - HW problems. I have run into several problems.1. I can't search for files in my system. I knew how to do it in Ubuntu, here I have no idea.2. How do I add another keyboard layout to "Keyboard Switcher"? What if I want to switch keyboards by CTRL+Shift? Is it possible?3. I would like to put my Pidgin into the panel so I could close it. I am used for it to go to the indicator applet but when I installed it it was empty

I have installed 11.4, and it seems (seemed) to work OK so far. I installed Thunderbird via the opensuse "1 click install". the installation ran smoothly, but now a click on the Thunderbird icon does not activate any mail client; the only success is that Thunderbird icon jumps joyfully and then disappears.

I've been using natty for a few weeks. I can't remember to add something to the launcher, other than dragging it. I had thunderbird in the launcher, but accidentally removed it.Now, when I drag it back to the launcher, it's there in the launcher, but as a blank space. The thunderbird icon is missing. I can click on the blank space to launch it, but would like to add the icon

In the XP version of Thunderbird, a try icon appears when new mail arrives. I noticed in the Linux version I don't get the tray icon. Is there anyway of getting it to show or is it not available in the Linux version?

I've tried, I really have. Been using Ubuntu for years at home, love it. Been trying to use it at work, but I will always come back to Windows for 1 simple reason. There is no Outlook replacement capable of working with Exchange.Don't suggest Evolution, its a regular crasher on my system, OWA has promise but need re-written from the ground up seemingly.
Canonical is looking for ways to monetise Ubuntu, create a propriatory Thunderbird/Evolution plugin (Thunderbird is my choice), with a free trial for 30 days. If after 30 days it doesn't crash, I'll pay 50 for it.I find it really astounding that this isnt brought up more often.

My mother runs Ubuntu 10.04 on her home computer, but on her workplace they use some version of Windows. Her IT-guy sent her a .rdp-file for logging in to her workplace server. This file doesn't work in Ubuntu, and the IT-department at her job can't solve the problem. Ergo; She's unable to log on to her workplace computer/server from home.

Thanks to Lucid not working properly on i845, i855 and other 8xx chips, had to re-install Karmic on my mum's computer.I saved all the data from her old install and I ve managed to get all her old emails from thunderbird, but I cant import her address book.In Thunderbird/tools/import/addressbooks it only allows importing of LDIF, .tab, .csv and .txt files, but I cant find any of these files in any of the Thunderbird, .Thunderbird, Mozilla-Thunderbird or Mozilla folders in Home folder or anywhere, all I can find is "abook.mab" which IS supposed to be her address book, but when I try and import it the entries are blank and/or indecipherable (prob cos not a compatible file type).
Its one of those "simple" things to do, thats taken hours and hours of time, but that I cant actually find out how to do.

I had a portable apps version of Thunderbird (windows) that runs off a thumb drive and wanted to take the settings and transfer them to my Thunderbird that's on my Linux computer.
This is what I did:
First, I installed thunderbird on my Ubuntu 10.04 Linux box and opened it, and closed it (so that it would create the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder in the user account).
Then, I renamed the linux /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder to .thunderbird_ORIGINAL
Then, I created a new /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder
Then, I took the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableDataprofile folder and copied it to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
Then, I looked into the /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL folder and wrote down the name of the folder with the ".default" extension.
Then, I renamed the profile folder (that came from the windows e:ThunderbirdPortableData folder) "<name-I-wrote-down>.default".
And then, I copied the profiles.ini folder from /home/<username>/.thunderbird_ORIGINAL to the /home/<username>/.thunderbird folder.
I opened up Thunderbird in Linux and everything seems fine! (I'll definitely be keeping a backup just in case)
My question is: is this fine and dandy, or a recipe for disaster?

I run version 10.04 GNOME. My problem is (after substantial searching) that I need to have both users ('juliusz' and 'sarah') running Thunderbird but with the same profile (settings, email, accounts etc. preferably of 'juliusz'). The only results on the internet are share Thunderbird between Windows and Ubuntu.
I have two users juliusz and sarah. I need either of them to have the same profile, always in synch whenever they logon to own account. When I tried to edit sarah's /home/sarah/.mozilla-thunderbird/profile.ini by inserting: Path=/home/juliusz/.mozilla-thunderbird/xxxxxxx.default after i run Thunderbird for 'sarah' I get message: "Thunderbird is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Thunderbird process, or restart your system." I checked with "ps aux" there is no Thunderbird running in sarah's session. There is no Thunderbird running in juliusz's session when I reloged to juliusz.

Maverick 10.10
I believe these are bugs or omissions.
When using the Workspace switcher you can no longer drag an application from one screen (workspace) to another. I like to use 8 different screens to avoid clutter.
You also were allowed on the Preferences menu to change the default name of the workspace from "workspace 1" to just "1".
Before Maverick you could hover the mouse over a workspace and the name would appear. Now the only things that appears is workspace 1 without regard for whatever workspace you are on.
To me an omission of a necessary or important feature is a Bug. If this was done by design than it is a design bug.

I'm pretty sure I saw this described on this board, with a screenshot, but I simply can't find anything about it: A window switcher (probably a compiz plugin) that displays a 3D view of all windows lying flat on a receding surface, with the selected one flipping up upright.
I assumed it was built in to compiz, but when I went to look it was not any one of the ones I can find in ccsm - must be a separate package. And by then I had closed the post.

Does something like this exist?[URL]..I don't like much the default alt+tab application switcher. I would like to delete the bottom panel and leave only the upper menu. I would like an alt+tab app switcher similar to that one, icons instead preview of windows plus icons, and when there are windows group show them in the arrow. Then colors, for example blue for the window where you are and yellow if the window wants to highlight due a change or something.

I've been using Natty(unity as desktop) since the beta now and it is really growing on me except for the workspaces. Is there a way to see what workspace I am on? *When typing I usually switch with ctrl-alt-"left/right/up/down" but after some work i don't always know what desktop i am one so switching is usually trial and error jumping from desktop to desktop or pressing super-s to get an overview. Seeing which desktop I'm on (maybe in the unity workspace button) would help with that.
*When just using the mouse I used to click on the workspace launcher and I would be on the desktop of my choice in one click but now I need to click on the switcher, identify where I am and where I need to go and it breaks the flow of fast switching, its no advantage anymore compared to just opening all programs on 1 workspace and using super-w I guess there are upcoming changes on the switcher as unity is still in its infancy so is there a way to put the old switcher in the top panel again?

I recently fixed a problem i had with Ubuntu which was the missing title bars but as soon as i enabled them on Compiz, my Desktop switcher app will not work. I've tried removing it and re-applying it but this does not solve the problem.Its there, in all its glory, but i cant click any of the other desktops it seems unresponsive when im left-clicking it but it responds and works fine showing blips of what it is or even adding or deleting rows and columns is optional.I know this happened immediatly following the compiz change so it has something to do with that and i think it might only have 1 desktop that it knows of because i can highlight desktop 4 and it still says 1, but im probably wrong.

I've installed Office 2007 under wine, and would like to add launchers for Word, Excel, etc to the Unity launcher bar.
So, I've created a launcher on the Desktop that will run Word with wine. I've changed the icon to the Word Icon and everything works great from the desktop. If I drag that launcher to the Unity bar, it adds it, but changes the icon to the springboard default icon that new launchers use. Please see attached picture.
As a side note, I am really starting to like Unity (puts on flamesuit), but it seems very easy to break the install of 11.04. I've had to reinstall 4 times now.
