how to add launchers on the "dock". Anyone knows how to do it? Drag and drop does not work yet. I hope they'll make an auto-hide feature for the "dock" to save space on the screen
View 2 RepliesI installed ubuntu-10.10-netbook-i386.iso hoping I would get the Unity User Interface, but to my dissapointment I got the regular one.
I checked the user settings and 'Netbook Edition' is selected as my default view.
What can I do to get the Unity Interface?
I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and this is my first experience with Unity. I have managed to create launchers in .local/share/applications and drag them to the launcher to add desired shortcuts. Here are two questions I have:
1) I am adding many shortcuts to various directories I frequently use; the shortcut's have commands like nautilus /home/user/some/dir. Despite the fact that I change their icons, when I drag them to the launcher they all use the Nautilus icon. Is there a way to fix this?
2) Is there a way to group the launchers? For example, having a group for office applications, and a group for directory launchers?
Since next launch will have Unity desktop, I decided to install the netbook and available unity edition for 10.10, but my experience has been less than pleasant. :-/ I'll post a few comments about my worries, perhaps you know how to solve them already. The left bar is nice: but so far I've been unable to customize it! Not intelhidding, nor control over the size. The pick into the dock problem has already solve for unity but not for Netbook. Personally, I rather prefer a docky panel instead of an un-customizable bar.
Mension by a lot of people, the <Alt>-F1 and <Alt>-F2 binding are not working. I've never used <Alt>-F1 but <Alt>-F2 is quite useful for the intermediate or advance user. The Super-key: In netbook desktop somehow I loved that the super-key allows us to select a launcher from the bar. However this functionality is not in Unity. Worse, each time I press super-key, it sends me to the menu... How could I use the compiz functions so? like Super-a My compiz-configuration from Gnome is used by Unity... so when I press the show desktops I can see only one. How do I get 4 of them? I really, really love the fact that in the upper bar are shown the menu of the current selected window, specially because one can un-maximize the window and the menu remains in the panel. Perhaps the upper border of the graphical windows could be made thiner.. since there is no menu there any more!
I think this is mostly it! Anyway... I'll keep in touch Although all my possible negative comment, I think you have done a remarkable work with this environment... but we all know that mind breaking changes should support crisis! Don't they?!
Some app launchers can't be placed in the dock. The ones i have trouble with are the three games from Humble Frozenbyte Bundle, namely Shadowgrounds, Shadowgrounds Survivor and Trine. Their launcher icons look fine on dash, but when i start dragging them and the dash disappears, the icon turns into a question mark. Items on dock make room for the question mark icon, but after dropping it, it disappears and the dock icons return to where they were.
I guess there's something non-standard about the launchers. The games are installed under my home folder, and the game icons are xpm files in the game folder, like /home/veepee/.trine/Trine.xpm for example. The executables are in the same folder, like /home/veepee/.trine/trine-bin.
Too bad the print screen key doesn't take screenshots when the dash is up. What's up with that anyway?
cairo 2.2.0-4(no-OpenGL)
ubuntu AMD64 10.10
gnome + compiz
Launchers indicators only work when I check the "Mix launchers and applications" box under behaviour/taskbar menu option. I already set the class of the launchers with the "grab" button in the "modify launcher menu"
can i install ubuntu 10.04 Netbook edition in my laptop? Is there any drawback in installing in laptop? which one is better-netbook edition or desktop edition?
View 4 Replies View Related1. I didn't like the icon theme and changed it to Ubuntu Mono Light. But is there a way to get the Min/Max/Close buttons to how they are in Radiance when maximized, or is that dependant on something else?
2. Is there a way to disable the Unity dock, but not the Unity feature where the Min/Max/Close go into the command bar?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble installing Ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix edition onto a Acer Aspire one netbook. I am attempting to install the OS from a 16GB PNY usb drive w/ the usb-universal installer and ubuntu 10.10 netbook remix .ISO
The reoccurring problem that I am encountering is that when I boot from the USB-drive and begin to install everything seems to be working, and then it is stuck at the menu where it asks who are you?; and of course i have filled in everything asked and at the bottom where you can look at what its doing in the terminal/detail section all it says is ready when you are, and the forward tap is unselectable.
Anyone know how to configure the launcher for an app in unity? In Gnome, you could just right-click the icon, select properties and go to town. In Unity, all right-click gets you is (for example):Terminal Keep In Launcher Quit
I'd like to change the geometry for new terminal windows.
I would like to remove the launchers for trash and files & folders from unity. I prefer to just have a launcher for nautilus.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using Unity 0.2.46 on Ubuntu 10.10. Installed from a ppa. The only way I have found to add an application launcher to the panel is to actually launch the app, then right click it's icon on the panel and click "Keep in Launcher". This is great but I've noticed at least one of my applications (Mumble) doesn't give me that option. Is there an alternative method? (see screenshot for example)

View 3 Replies View RelatedSometimes when adding an application link to the Unity dock it does not display an icon in the dock, just a blank space.
An example would be the image manipulation app 'Pinta'. Installing this from the Ubuntu Software Centre, finding it in the apps menu and dragging it to the Unity dock results in a blank space being put in the dock.
I am happy to report a bug but can anyone explain why this happens?
Temporary work around for anyone with this problem:
1. Create a launcher for the app on the desktop
2. Move the launcher to ~/.local/share/applications
3. Drag it to the dock from there
I recently installed Ubuntu 11.04 but when I installed chromium and opened the application, it opened as usual but the icon did not appear in the dock. The only way I could switch to the chromium window would be to alt-tab.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'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.
I would like to know if I could burn Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition with a CD-R & not use my flash-drive for install. Has anyone used a CD-R & Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition to install on a new hard drive? How come it ask you to use a flash drive & not a CD-R?

View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there a torrent for the netbook edition of ubuntu.
I'm running it in VirtualBox because I only want it to faff around with, I tried the full desktop version but it was a bit slow so I thought I'd give the netbook version a go. (I'm on a laptop)
I'm asking this because the download is very slow.
I'm on a 20mb connection and it starts off around 400k but then goes down to 30 so it will take hours.
So, I was wondering if I can replace my 10.10 desktop edition with Netbook edition? I loved the interface of Netbook edition, so I want to get. If get it on my normal laptop, will there be any problems? Can I install, Apache or Nginx on it? What are the main differences between them?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently been given my dad's old netbook which is a toshiba nb100
I installed Ubuntu Netbook Edition onto it as i have some experiance with linux and have used ubuntu before and thought it would speed up this little machine. After the initial grind of the instal, it seemed to be running fine, however i didnt really like the netbook layout.
I noticed on the log in screen that i could select the desktop or netbook edition, is that normal? i have been using the desktop version since.
I have been doing some research however into the 11.04 release that is almost ready, and is ready in alpha stages. And what i understand is that the netbook layout is called Unity, and will be replacing gnome.
If and when i upgrade to 11.04, if i upgrade on the netbook login, will it replace both the logins i have access to currently, because the ubuntu install is changed and that was basically just choosing which display to use, unity or gnome. is that right?
Also i heard that for the 11.10 release they will be bringing the gnome desktop back? and that ubuntu netbook edition is being scrapped as they are basically merging
At the moment i prefer the desktop layout as i know where to access everything, although im sure i could get used to Unity, if its not too graphically demanding.
Either way i think i will wait till the end of april to upgrade to 11.04 as this laptop is fairly slow to begin with.
On the Ubuntu website, under the alternate downloads, there is a link for 11.04 netbook torrent download but clicking on the link gives an "unobtainable" message. On the "error" page, Chromium provided a link to the ubuntu page with all the 11.04 versions and checking through those there is not a netbook version.
Does this mean that there will be no netbook version of 11.04 and the desktop version will be OK on a netbook or is it simply that it is not available yet? I am intending to upgrade my current Acer Aspire One to 11.04 and am considering a clean install rather than upgrading via the update manager. I have downloaded the desktop version just in case.
I have an Acer Aspire One D250 with Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Edition installed. The system hangs the majority of boots at the exact same place. Here is what I see when system hangs:

How can I install Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 to a USB drive so I can run it on any computer.
