Ubuntu :: Invisible Window Causing Dead Zone In Unity

Jun 13, 2011

Every so often a strange window will appear on the screen - well, I say "appear", but it can't be seen. I know it's there though. It creates a sort of 'dead zone' on the screen - always in the same place.

xwininfo: Window id: 0xe1ce72 (has no name)
Absolute upper-left X: 438
Absolute upper-left Y: 299
Relative upper-left X: 438
Relative upper-left Y: 299
Width: 502
Height: 222
Depth: 0
Visual: 0x21
Visual Class: TrueColor
Border width: 0
Class: InputOnly
Colormap: 0x0 (not installed)
Bit Gravity State: ForgetGravity
Window Gravity State: NorthWestGravity
Backing Store State: NotUseful
Save Under State: no
Map State: IsViewable
Override Redirect State: yes
Corners: +438+299 -426+299 -426-247 +438-247 -geometry 502x222+438+299

I can't identify what process has created it, and I can't get rid of it without logging out (xkill does nothing). Ubuntu 11.04

Fedora :: Nautilus Is Dead - How To Fix/remove It

Feb 15, 2010

My part time hobby PC, running FC12, has started misbehaving following some recent updates. I hadn't booted the machine for about 10 days. It booted OK, I checked for updates, applied them, and then my problems started.When I boot now I get LONG delays after logging in and eventually will get the following error:

Could not display "x-nautilus-desktop:///".
Error DBus error.org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply:

Did not receive a reply, etc, etc...Have tried re-installing Nautilus, same problem. Being a relative Linux (though not Unix) newbie, what is Nautilus? Do I need it? Can I just get rid of it? Is there an alternative I can install that does work?

Ubuntu :: Safe To Remove Unity?

Jun 1, 2011

So I upgraded Ubuntu and was greeted by Unity. I was unsure of it at first and figured I would give it a shot. It has failed miserably in almost every way aside from looking nice in some instances. It's slow, clunky, and was a total wreck to my efficient use of the computer. But they can't all be winners I suppose. I can see where it would be useful (since it seems more finger-friendly) on a tablet device, but I'm using a standard notebook, not a tablet.

That being said, I switched back to what is now "Ubuntu (Classic)" and have put things happily back on track. However, since I have no intentions of ever bothering with Unity again, I want to remove it - it's just wasting space. My questions are, would this be safe? Are Unity and Ubuntu entwined to the point where doing so would make future updating/upgrading a problem? If it is a problem for the future, I feel it would be easier to just change distros (Mint, OpenSUSE, or just Kubuntu) - any recommendations?

Ubuntu :: Remove Unnecessary Lefthand Taskbar In Unity?

May 3, 2011

I have taken the largest chill pill I could find and have reinstalled nutty into a spare partition with a view to taking a more forgiving approach... i'll mostly stand by the rants for the time being... Has anyone found a simple (or complex for that matter - I just want it gone!) way to disable the randomly activated lefthand vertical taskbar in unity?It really is an unnecessary irritation when I can put my essential apps down the bottom where they belong with docky (thus reducing mouse mileage on my widescreen) and have everything else a WinKey+App away.Interesting that typing "Configuration" into the search box returns 0 results on a default natty install **** Additional ****Tweaking the Unity Plugin through Advanced Compiz Manager (and gconf-editor) leads me believe that I am after a "feature" that is not available:in gconf-editor:/apps/compiz-1/plugins/unityshell/screen0/options/launcher_hide_modeis the key I would like to have an additional option of "Always" added the currently available options being "0 = Never, 1 = Autohide, 2 = Dodge Windows, 3 = Dodge Active Window"

Ubuntu :: Remove The Trash Icon From The Unity Launcher?

Jul 25, 2011

From what I gather, there's no way to remove the Trash icon from the Unity launcher, or to hide it; is this true? I noticed that if I delete ~/.local/share/Trash, the file re-appears if I click on the Trash icon in the launcher.

Ubuntu :: Links Browser Script - Automatically Fills In The Credentials On The Links Login Page?

Dec 6, 2010

At my Uni, we use a web-based login for our internet connections. Its based off of Cisco, and every Wednesday night every computer on campus must re-enter their credentials to use the network.

Normally on my several computers I simply pull up the Terminal, point links to google.com using

Code:

And enter my credentials when Cisco redirects to the login page.

Literally, the process is

Code:

Then ENTER to accept the redirect, down arrow to skip over the logo image, USERNAME, ENTER, PASSWORD, ENTER, ENTER.

Naturally, this is EXTREMELY time consuming, as I have about 5 computers located around campus and must physically walk to the machines and login every single week.

My question is, How would I formulate a program that does the following;

1) checks for connectivity (i.e. is able to reach/resolve to the greater part of the internet) and

2) automatically fills in the credentials on the links login page?

Ubuntu :: Unity - Hide The Top Panel Or (better) Remove It Completely (I Can Live Without Global Menu)

May 2, 2011

To make Unity useful for me I need to make some changes. I wonder if it's possible to:

1. Hide the top panel or (better) remove it completely (I can live without global menu).
2. Make the Unity Launcher work like a panel - so it won't be possible to move windows behind it.

Programming :: Scripting : Change Markdown Links To Wikitext Links?

Feb 3, 2009

I have a personal wiki of notes, with now thousands of links in markdown format:

[link text](http://example.com)

but now that fckeditor is available for mediawiki (very beta), it has become much better to just stick with wikitext format. There are only a few conversions to do: tables, links, and bulleted lists. The lists are a fairly simple regex and fckeditor magically reformats the tables, so all I'm left with is the links. But I'm not a regex master. How do I reformat code...

Ubuntu :: Unity - Mythtv Or How To Hide Unity Launcher

May 8, 2011

Just moved to Ubuntu 11.04 with unity and only have one problem...For most of my desktop needs I prefer to have the Unity Launcher up all the time (fullscreen apps don't cover it), and have set this option with ccsm.

However, when I watch mythtv, it is also under the launcher (and the top panel as well). How can I force mythtv to cover the launcher?
What I really need is a keyboard shortcut to hide the launcher, but the only shortcut is for "show launcher". (I guess the devs assumed everyone would want it hidden by default).

This, by the way is not my usual way for viewing mythtv. I have a projector attached to the desktop PC and it doesn't get a Unity Launcher by default (in Twinview), so no probs. However, occasionally I want to watch something on my computer screen, and that is when this issue arises.

Ubuntu :: RAM / Motherboard And CPU Dead?

May 5, 2010

I used my old RAM in my new PC. The RAM was rated for 533mhz but the motherboard could not run it below 667mhz. Today I was using tdfsb (3D file system browser) in my music folder (which has a lot of files/folders) the PC froze. After 20min I pulled the plug and it started back up properly. After some updates later that day, I tried to reboot. All it did was shut down and light up the fanlights instead of restarting. I tried resetting the battery. With the old motherboard, bad RAM would cause beeps and I hear no beeps. The board is a Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H. The CPU an Athlon II x2 255. RAM failure would cause beeps or not.

Ubuntu :: Computer Dead After Failed Apt-get

Nov 17, 2010

I was running some python code, and I wanted to RAR some result data. I did a sudo apt-get install rar, but the installation got stuck so I killed it with ctrl-C. Since that might result in a broken package, I tried opening synaptic with sudo synaptic but it wouldn't start because apparently apt-get is still running in the background.

I tried to kill the process with kill $(grep apt-get) but it didn't work. Then I tried turning off my computer but it got stuck at a loading screen saying something about an incomplete install. Finally I just pressed the reset button, but instead of restarting normally, it beeped 2-3 times and nothing would show up on the screen. I repeatedly turned it off, wait a while, then turn it on, but nothing works. I tried unplugging everything (mouse, keyboard, internet, etc) except the monitor, but that didn't help. I tried hooking it up to another working monitor, but still got no improvement. The cause seems to be software-related but it's behaving like a hardware problem. By the way, the computer is dual-booted with Windows XP and Ubuntu but Windows wouldn't start either. Nothing at all shows up on the screen.

Ubuntu :: Dead After Gnome 3 Install

Jul 17, 2011

After upgrading to 11.04 I did not like Unity. I found procedures to switch to Gnome 3 and, without reading reports about problems with it, I followed one. When it called to reboot I get good purple then blink then purple with word ?? UBUNTU..? then black screen with some misaligned messages about batteries and last one about CUPS. And this screen is a dead end.

I found advices to remove ?gnome-accessibility-theme? and install standard theme. My problem is that my only system is plain Unix without network from ?recovery mode?. I tried to ifconfig but I don?t know how to get WiFi to start on this Dell laptop. I remember I spend a lot of time to get right drivers for my first Ubuntu. I have no way to remember what I did to have it working.

My question is: how to switch back to Unity (and wait for fixed Gnome 3) or how to fix Gnome 3 from ?recovery mode?? (I would like to avoid install from scratch because I don?t remember what I did to install all drivers to have functional Ubuntu).

Ubuntu Installation :: Firefox Dead After 9.04 To 9.10 Upgrade

Jan 8, 2010

Did an upgrade today from 9.04 to 9.10. As far as I can tell, everything is working, with the exception of Firefox 3.5.6 with new install. I've attempted an uninstall and install. Tried the following with 3.5.6:URL...I finally found that if I use sudo (or gksudo) I can run firefox at the command prompt. Any other time I run it, it just shows an icon on the lower bar and then it disappears, but within the system monitor it shows Firefox and will show as many as you run the icon with.

I've deleted the entire .mozilla directory, and manually removed all the firefox info fro /usr/bin also before a reinstall. I assume it is either a strange permission issue or some link related issue."which firefox" shows:/usr/bin/firefox and the 3.5.6 files are located /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.6 . Any help would be great, I'm at a loss at this point. I'm sure it's something simple, but it's a royal PITA.I have nxserver on the machine, if that means anything and there was a session locally as well as one remote during the upgrade (using the same account).

Ubuntu Installation :: Upgraded To 9.10 And Now At A Dead Screen?

Jan 12, 2010

I've got a toshiba A135 series. I installed 9.10 from a live cd, and the installation process went fine.

When I rebooted the computer, it loaded up giving me the option to select one of the following:

Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic
Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.31-14-generic (recovery mode)
Memory text (memtest86+)
Memory test (memtest86+, serial console 115200)

I chose the first one, hit enter and the computer went to a black screen with the cursor up in the top left corner blinking away. Then nothing. I've read that this distribution is giving folks a lot of trouble. Has anyone had this same thing happen to them after a clean install?
