Ubuntu :: Top, Bottom Window Toolbars Have Both Vanished?
Sep 19, 2010
I turned on my computer today and logged in only to find discover that both toolbars on the top and bottom of my screen have disappeared.This is problematic as it has become impossible for me to connect to the internet without the wireless toolbar at the top of the screen, and as well I no longer have the ability to select different windows without alt+tabbing. I didn't modify my system in any way to the best of my knowledge, nor was I messing around with my desktop config. Luckily I can still access my applications (including the Terminal) by right clicking, but it's still a less than ideal setup.

I have just booted my Ubuntu Karmic and got to the login part and the top & bottom menus have vanished. Any thought as to how i get them back, short of doing a clean install. I had just installed startupmanager, but dont know if that caused the problem or not.

I've been researching on how to fully decorate the window borders and toolbars but I can't seem to get a clear as day answer. The threads I've found that have plenty of information are quite old (usually 2006), and others lead to things I already had tested with, such as Gnome Color Chooser. GCC was very nice, but it didn't really do everything I wanted. For one, I could only change the colors of the Main Menu, but not other menus such as the menus within Firefox (those are still grey with white letters and an orange highlight when hovering). It also wouldn't change the colors for the factory clock in the taskbar without messing up a bunch of other things. The list goes on.
What's even more confusing and the reason why I haven't begun is the following. Some people mention GTK+2, others Metacity, and others COmpiz and others Emerald. I know what COmpiz and Emerald are, but I don't understand how they're related (or unrelated) to the other 2 terms. Some threads mention how Emerald offers better functions than the rest, others just talk about editing Metacity themes. In short, I'm completely lost in the terminology. I do understand that the editing to get the exact look I want has to be done by hand, and I'm willing to do that. It's a bit pointless though if I'm stuck with the terminology I've mentioned. I want to know which themes I can search and be able to edit them to the looks I want.

[URL]... Screenshot above kinda explains what's happened, I have no window title bars so cannot move windows, or close them without going down to the bar at the bottom and right clicking which is very very inconvenient. I was playing with options in CompizConfig, which is what I think caused the problem, but I can't find a way to reset it to defaults at all so I'm kinda stuck with it.

Is there a way to make bottom-right window resize handles disappear in Ubuntu 11.04? I run a tiling window manager and thus have no use for them, especially since they can distract and cover information. How do I make them permanently go away?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, with the default appearance of a top and a bottom panel. You know how window titles appear in the bottom panel, and you can re-maximize minimized windows by clicking on that window title?ell, those window titles are no longer appearing. So when I minimize a window, I don't know how to bring it back.The bottom panel is still there, with the "show desktop" and the trash can icon on it.But no window titles.nd I don't have any idea what I did to make this happen.

I was looking for a duplicate file-finder that will allow me to delete the duplicate files directly from the program. After seeing several recommendations in this forum I installed Fslint from the repositories. It easily found the duplicate files that I needed to remove. The problem is, if I select a duplicate file and if I click on Delete at the bottom of the Fslint window, nothing happens. The duplicate files that I selected are not deleted.
I thought there might be something wrong with the repository version, so I downloaded the latest version of Fslint (v. 2.40-1), and I have the exact same problem. Fslint will not delete any files. Maybe Fslint is being interfered with by some other program. I am using Ubuntu 9.04.

Window buttons in the Fluxbox panel have dynamic width depending on the open windows' amount. Is it possible to make their width like in Gnome so that the buttons will have maximum width (but no minimum)?

While screwing around with my settings trying to get 11.3 setup the way I wanted it, I accidentally removed the portion of the bottom panel which displayed the titles for all the current open windows....and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it back.Can anyone tell me how to add it again? I'm sure its something incredible simple, but I haven't been able to find it

So about an hour ago I put my computer on standby. For whatever reason I couldn't bring it back so I restarted it. It works fine except now Ubuntu has pushed my display down. This means that the bottom of my tool-bar on the bottom of the screen is cut off, and there's a black bar on the top. I'm using a T.V. screen so there is no way I can manually adjust it. I also plugged my desktop back into an old monitor and it was off-center downward too.

I've got a Ubuntu 10.10 installed on an Acer Revo 3700 and it's attached to a 32" Toshiba TV via a HDMI cable, but unfortunately I can't see the toolbars at the top and the bottom of the screen.
I've tried changing the resolution and refresh rate but nothing seems to work.
Unfortunately this problem is rendering my new PC almost useless as I can't navigate around the toolbars.

I often run two of my computers, a dual-booting Ubuntu 11.04/Windows Vista desktop and a laptop running exclusively Ubuntu 11.04, side-by-side. To easily switch between the two, I use a program called Synergy, with a frontend called QuickSynergy. The program allows you to simply move your mouse between the two computer screens, and then the keyboard and mouse of the host can be used on the guest. My problem is, when I simply want to show the Unity menu on the left side of the right machine, I usually end up going back over to the left (host) machine. I have to move my mouse very carefully to get to the single edge pixel that triggers the menu. Is there any way to fix this? When I use Synergy when the host is booted into Windows, I can set up dead corners, which is pretty much what I want. The frontend on Windows is called Synergy+.

With my Kubuntu Hardy install there are plenty of settings I can change in Kaffeine but with Ubuntu Lucid I cannot adjust the brightness or add/remove items on the toolbars.
Is there some other way to change these settings ?
Kaffeine is excellent for watching and recording Dvb/T television (multiple channels etc).

I often use the option in Chromium to create 'application shortcuts'. These are instances of Chromium that make a website look more like an app by not including most of Chromium's toolbars. I use it for gmail and google docs and spreadsheets and calendar. In 11.04 I have set up Desktop launchers and copied them across to the Launcher (what an odd way to add something to the launcher, why no right-click 'add launcher' option?)
The problem is that the launcher thinks all these apps are chromium (which they are really, but I would like them to be seen as separate apps). If I minimize my gmail window, a little triangle appears next to the chromium icon, not the gmail icon. To get the window back, I have to click on the Chromium icon. Clicking on the gmail icon launches a new instance of it (also tied to the Chromium icon).

I have been experimenting with Ubuntu and created a folder a couple of days ago, and messed around with the permissions so that only 2 of us had access to the folder. Must point out that i am a newbie to Linux... so in all likelihood, I screwed it up. Today when i went to search for the folder, it seems to have vanished i tried searching for it, but came up with nothing, i even searched for some of the documents that i have in that folder, and also came up with nothing.

I had just gotten dual boot to work yesterday (had tried both OSs and they both worked). Then I went into Ubuntu to install apps. When I was done, I tried to load windows again and it told me there was a problem that needed to be fixed with the recovery disk. I put it in, it fixed the problem and windows started. Then I did some routine windows updates and now the MBR seems to be gone.I have to restart by holding off for 5 secs. Is there some way to restore the grub from the Ubuntu live installation disk?

My father saved a document in openoffice.org on our Ubuntu computer, but it seems to have vanished. There is no icon in Documents (where he said he saved it) other than a zip file which doesn't have it in it. The only place I can seem to try to open it from is in OpenOffice itself under "Recent Documents", but when i click on it, it says "filename.odt does not exist", and i cannot right-click to open it with another word processor. I don't have backups enabled I noticed in OpenOffice's settings, but surely the document is somewhere! I checked in the trash but it's not in there. It's very important and he spent hours and hours on it, it would be terrible to try to write it again. I am very unfamiliar with the Ubuntu operating system as I myself have Windows 7,
