Ubuntu :: To Many Items At Boot Up?

Sep 9, 2010

I have asked this question several times but I think that I am not asking it correctly. I have umbutu 9.04 and Windows 7.0 on my C: drive. When I start my machine I have approximately 9 or 10 items on my boot list and I would like to have 2.It has been suggested that I determine what version of grub I am using and I am using /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-19 generic. I have no idea what that means.It has been suggested that I install some various items of software and I am sure that it would solve my problem but to me it would be like looking down a cows throat. Please, don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the input but its like when you go to the doctor you kind of wonder "just what the heck is he talking about". Maybe someone could just tell me how to accomplish what I want to do so I can understand!My daughter uses this machine and she goes to places that I didn't know I had.

Ubuntu :: Panel Items Rearrange Themselves

Jul 3, 2010

I have a bit of a minor niggle with ubuntu 10.04. The items in my top panel seem to rearrange themselves at random whenever i logout and then log back in again. For example, i normally have indicator applett session in the top right hand corner of my screen, but if i logout and log back in again it has occasionally jumped across to the left of the active panel items.

Ubuntu :: Edit The Menu Bar Items?

Aug 13, 2010

I installed a dual boot Windows 7 / Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 yesterday.So far so good, everything works fine.

However, i would like to get rid of the little enveloppe in the menu bar, more precisely in what i think is called the notification area. i have found some stuff online about how I'm supposed to delete a package and restart, quite unsuccessful method really, since the envelope is still there.

Plus whenI right click on the menu bar to pin / unpin items, it doesnt work, all the submenus are greyed out.

Ubuntu :: Unity Sidebar - How To Add Items To It

Oct 11, 2010

Deleting unwanted items from the Unity Sidebar is easy.

but how do you add to it? I'd like to add Terminal, Calibre and some other things to the sidebar for easier access.

I would also like to move Google Chrome to the top of the bar, instead of the middle.

So how does one customize this side bar in Unity?

other than not knowing how to customize my applications in the sidebar, Unity is pretty awesome.

Ubuntu :: Where Do The Menu Items In Preferences Come From?

Nov 6, 2010

When I choose System --> Preferences --> Screensaver, it runs x-screensaver instead of gnome-screensaver, BUT, in /usr/share/applications, I have the file:

gnome-screensaver-preferences.desktop

And the contents are:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Screensaver
Comment=Set your screensaver preferences
Icon=preferences-desktop-screensaver
Exec=gnome-screensaver-preferences

[Code]....

So it should be launching gnome-screensaver, not x-scrensaver. Where on earth is x-screensaver getting launched from? I thought the menu was determined by /usr/share/applications. (By the way, I did previously have x-screensaver instead of gnome, I am trying to put it back how it was. I have more-or-less succeeded, except this Menu item which is puzzling me.)

Ubuntu :: Remove Items From The Launcher?

Feb 19, 2011

I can see how to add programs to the Launcher. I can also remove some things from the launcher. But there are some things that Ubuntu evidently thinks should never be removed from the launcherFor example I don't like "Files and Folders". It doesn't show the entire folder structure. I can't see how to remove it. Instead I prefer "File Manager".

Ubuntu :: Add Different Items To My Side Menu Bar

Apr 4, 2011

I don't like Windows 7 Starter, nor Microsoft. I'm in the process of ditching them for Ubuntu. I'm trying, I really am. I've successfully installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition, and I'm now stuck. How the hell do I use this? I can't figure out how to add different items to my side menu bar. I can't figure out which version of Ubuntu I have. The documentation page says, "To check which version of Ubuntu you are running, click System -> About Ubuntu. The first line of the page that loads will tell you the version number, for example Ubuntu 10.04 LTS." I DON'T EVEN HAVE A "SYSTEM" BUTTON! How am I supposed to use this clumsy OS? I can't find any sort of "beginner's guide" or help like that on the internet.

Ubuntu :: Changing The Order Of Desktop Items?

Jan 28, 2010

I just started using the Ubuntu Netbook Remix (9.10 Karmic) a couple weeks ago. I've added my own and removed a few of the default icons in the simplified, menu-driven desktop interface. However, the icons are in the order in which they were added (particularly in the "Favourites" tab. How can I rearrange or sort these icons?

I've tried right-clicking the tab and desktop, but no sort option appears. I've tried dragging the icons to the desired spot in the window, but that doesn't work either. Is there a control panel in the "System" tab that will let me sort the icons, or is this not possible in the netbook remix?

Ubuntu :: Restricted Items Don't Initialize Fully

Feb 10, 2010

It's my CPU scaling and dual mode modem that aren't initializing properly on startup. The CPU scaling starts up in 'performance' mode and doesn't throttle back to 'on demand' like it should, and like it used to. Also the modem starts up as a usb mass storage device and the boot process should, and used to, toggle it into modem mode.

It certainly looks like it is a user rights issue as both devices require me to sudo the change from userspace. I'm on 9.10 64bit with a fairly new install, I havent done anything abnormal to the system except change the default lang from UTF-8 to ISO-8859. other than that I've only installed packages from synaptic, and done the recommended updates. I don't know exactly where the problem started.

I'm a noobee at reading log files. I generally only get about a half a screenfull read before I realize my eyes are crossing and my brain has gone completely non-functional. Here is the output from dmesg... Very near the end I see it recognize the Cricket(modem) device, but I see no errors...

Ubuntu :: Renaming Wine Menu Items ?

Mar 18, 2010

Alright, after trying to organize shortcuts in Wine's menu (which did not work), I ended up hitting the 'Revert' button, which changed the names of most of the folders:

Screenshot

As you've probably guessed, I want to remove "wine-Programs-" from the beginning of the folder names. I've tried using the menu editor to do this, but the 'Properties' button does not seem to work on anything I did not create myself. How do I go about editing the names?

I would also like to know how to move the MS Office shortcuts into a custom folder/menu. They refuse to drag into any folder I make.

Ubuntu :: Items In Xfce Panel Are Disappearing

Apr 1, 2010

Items in my xfce panel are disappearing. First it was the networkmanager launcher which disappeared in xfce but still appeared when I used GNOME, then it disappeared in GNOME. My "x updates are available" icon and volume control icons are also gone, and just now my entire "applications" drop down menu disappeared. I frequently use xmonad so I know all the /bin/ commands for critical programs, but this is really annoying. Also, my desktop keeps changing back to a certain image without me changing it. If I was on windows I would think I had a virus. Maybe I dowlnoaded some bad games I was trying to play in wine? xubuntu 9.10, not updated for a little while since the icon disappeared, Thinkpad T61...

Ubuntu :: Items In Synaptic Which Are Shown As Upgradeable ?

May 2, 2010

About items in Synaptic which are shown as upgradeable. (see attachment)The first item is, according to the description, used by ATI cards. I use nVidia. Can I just uninstall the package without problems, or will my system fall apart?

The next item is gimp-gap. When trying to upgrade it says it depends on another package which:

Code:

How to upgrade this package?

The last one is xul-runner-1.9.2. In the past when I updated this package, the package OpenFTD which I use doesn't want to start anymore. According to the person who writes this, it depends on the way Mozilla and Ubuntu are building the package xulrunner. This could be a "cheap" answer but what to do? Do I need xulrunner when I don't use Firefox? I do use Thunderbird however.

When I don't do anything these three items will be presented as upgradeable all the time and I don't want or cannot install the upgrades.

Ubuntu :: Emptying Deleted Items In Evolution

I'm using Evolution, latest version for Linux. For some reason, I can't get the deleted items folder in the mail view to expunge. Is there some reason why emptying the trash suddenly doesn't work? It worked for the first few days of using Evolution, but now it just doesn't work -- the deleted items just stay there.

Here's the error message:

Ubuntu :: Add Menu Items To Search And Launch

May 30, 2010

I just loaded KNE 10.4 onto my Dell Mini and I'm trying to get it configured. Some apps that I have installed using Synaptic (Kpackage seems pretty useless, even aside from the fact that the package names are illegible) are not showing up in the Search and Launch, and I would also like to add an additional category and add some items to the favorites list at the top of the page.

Right clicking does not seem to provide any options to change what used to be the menus, and middle clicking puts strange little yellow boxes at the bottom of the screen. (I haven't figured out how to make those go away.What config files hold the data I want to update? Are they not under ~/.kde for some reason?
