Ubuntu :: Unity - Global Main Menu Doesn't Autohide When Playing Sims3 Fullscreen?

May 28, 2011

When I run Sims3 in Wine, the game happily switches video mode and runs fullscreen... but the global menu bar doesn't autohide, and there's no way to get it to hide manually. I've checked the Unity plugin in the compiz settings control panel, but there don't seem to be any settings at all for the global main menu there.

Ubuntu :: 90% Of The Applications Install - Last Release - Do Not Show Up Later On In Applications Menu

Jul 24, 2010

I feel shy asking this question but, 90% of the applications I install in Ubuntu (last release), do not show up later on in the applications menu, so I cant run them. I know it seems silly, but I can't find the way to handle this inconvenience. Is there a place (like Start> All programs in Windows), were I could find and run all the programs I install?

Ubuntu :: Change Default For Opening Mounted Volumes In Unity Launcher?

Apr 29, 2011

I automount two NTFS volumes on login. These display in both the desktop and the Unity launcher.

The first time I clicked one of them in the Unity launcher, it asked if I wanted to use Nautilus or Thunar. I chose Thunar.

Now, when I open the volumes in the Unity launcher, it always uses Thunar. When I open the volumes on my desktop, it always uses Nautilus.

Is there any way to standardize these, so that I use either Thunar or Nautilus, but not both? And how do I switch back and forth? Where can I reset the Unity launcher to use Nautilus again?

Ubuntu :: Opening Multiple Applications With One Keyboard Shortcut?

Aug 21, 2010

I would like to open multiple applications with one keyboard shortcut but don't get it running. When I add (open "System" > "Preference" > "Keyboard Shortcuts"; clicked "Add" ) a new shortcut and enter many commands in the "Command" field e.g. "gnome-terminal & xeyes" only the first application is started. I also tried to set up a shell script that contains the application calls and then use "gnome-terminal -x "sh /path/to/the/script.sh" but then I get the error message "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal".

Ubuntu :: Applications Display In Unity

Jun 16, 2011

My partner is visually impaired and I have been having a close look at Unity as it could be of assistance to her. Using the dash opens the shortcuts and the display is looking good but at times cluttered. Ideally I would like to be able to arrange things that when she opens up the various section that interest her that only the installed programmes are displayed. I intend to ensure that everything of interest to her is loaded so apps available for download are of no interest and I would wish to have them removed from view.

the most frequently used items will end up automatically displayed and will be easily available to her but in the initial stages having so many items displayed only confuses. What would be the best approach to tackle the problem bearing in mind that I no doubt at times will have to go into her system and correct the odd foul up caused by her disabilities of which vision is one. Ideally I would like to reduce the all applications list so that it only displays the items of interest.

For my own benefit can you advise how I may install the ttf-mscorefonts in order that I can transfer my various templates over from my system as we share certain items. I am only wishing a couple of fonts and found that one could be freely downloaded from Fontmatics. They say that I should be able to copy the .ttf into fonts:.

Ubuntu :: Opening Files From External Storage Devices From Within Applications?

May 3, 2010

Running various applications, including Open Office, I need to open files from my external hard drive, from within said application itself. But the file menus for all my applications list only the files of my primary hard drive, and I can't look at other drives. Surely there must be some way to do this.

Ubuntu :: Opening Applications (only Gnome-terminals) In Defined Workspace?

Aug 18, 2010

Ideally I would like to set a keyboard shortcut to open a set of applications. The applications (mainly different gnome-terminals) should be opened in different, previously defined workspaces. I had a look around but could not find a simple solution (maybe it could be done in devilspie but I would like to avoid that).If I limit myself only to gnome-terminal and instead of using the keyboard shortcuts call the application in the shell the placement of the terminal can be done by using "--geometry" (see "man gnome-terminal" and "man X") e.g. "gnome-terminal --geometry 50x20+200+300". wmcrtl show me that my 6 workspaces are treated as one desktop (my interpretation - maybe wrong):

Code:
$ wmctrl -d
0 * DG: 7680x1024 VP: 0,0 WA: 0,1 1280x1023 Desk 1

Ubuntu Installation :: Navigating Applications Using Navigation Keys In Unity?

Apr 29, 2011

Loading up gedit (as an example) I am unable to navigate reliably using keyboard navigation controls with the new Unity interface. There are times when left/right will work within a document but up/down will not. After a reboot left/top/right will work but down will not unless you physically click on the position you would like the cursor. I'm guessing unity unity is stealing these keys but not releasing them back to the applications?

Ubuntu :: Unity & Netbook Display Size - Applications Are Oversized For The 1024 X 600

Apr 26, 2011

I upgraded to 11.04 about 10 days ago. I have this intermittently weird problem where some of the applications, some of the time, are oversized for the 1024 x 600 display. I can't get to the buttons on the bottom end of the screen, and the window refuses to decrease in size enough so that it all fits on. So far, I've had this problem with Evolution, Pytrainer, Gimp, and another one that escapes my memory.

Has anyone else had this issue? (Except for the Evolution bug, which has been around since 2005 or thereabouts. How on earth is that thing still the default when nobody bothers to fix it up?) how to a workaround? Heck, I don't even know where to go to report this kind of bug.

Ubuntu :: Unity Menu On Two Monitors?

May 1, 2011

Upgraded laptop to 11.04 last night, and it worked great. Unity was pretty good. But upgraded my dual-monitor desktop earlier today, and realized the laptop's single screen of limited resolution was the reason it was working well.

On my desktop, Unity is giving me headaches. First, after upgrade, it appeared on the left-edge of the right monitor (IE, it was centered across the width of the screens). Managed to change my primary screen via instructions on [URL] and now it's more sensibly on the left edge of left screen.

Trouble is, now, I've got 3000-odd pixels between edges. Previously I had a dock along the bottom, and Compiz Scale and Gnome-Do summoned on the screen I was working on. Now everything seems to be so focused on the left screen that the utility of the right screen is severely limited.

What I'm hoping to learn is

1) Is it possible to put the Unity menu along the bottom of a given screen rather than left of a given screen? (Mac/Windows/KDE-style docks)

2) Is it possible to have 2 unity menus, one on left-side-of-left and the other on right-side-of-right?

3) Any other strategies for working with multiple monitors in Unity?

Not really interested in being the Luddite sticking with Ubuntu Classic if it can be helped. Really like global menus (and mirrored global menus at that! Better than OSX) and the repeated indicators on both screens is really useful. Much rather get Unity working well than jumping ship.
