Ubuntu :: Way To Bring Back Unmount Right Click Option?
Nov 2, 2010
When I right click on my mp3 player it gives me the option of ejecting or safely removing. If i do either it appears too the computer as though I unplugged it even though it's still connected to the computer. Is there a way to bring back unmount so that it will still appear under places? I would really love to have that behavior back
Yesterday I upgraded my Ubuntu 10.4 to new version 11. In during installation I don't really remember which option I choose for installing Ubuntu root direction, but after installation completed computer asked for restarting. I restarted computer, and after I restarted the computer, computer should bring up Menu to choose Windows Or Linux, but this time automatically after a few second screen turn black and than Ubuntu show up. But I don't want that because I want choose Windows, and now I don't have any Idea how should I bring the Menu back.
I lost boot option for Opensuse. I am sure it is still installed, only thing I want to know is how to bring the boot option back. I had duel boot option for vista and opensuse now after switching on vista starts by default and I am not having any option for choosing one of them as I had before.
Ubuntu(9.10) does not let me the permission to mount/unmount any NTFS partition with a normal click . I have to do it by using sudo mount command like below every time.
"sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/sda6"
and a similar command to Unmount When I try to mount using the normal click I get the following error message Error unmounting: umount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: umount: only root can unmount /dev/sda6 from /media/sda6 And a similar error for mounting This problem started when I used storage device manager(pysdm) to mount the drives I have the same problem with all the drives
I was expecting that notify-OSD bubbles behavior to bring the app displaying the notification, when you click on them. But in my case, when the mouse pointer enters the bubble, it fades out a little, and when I click on it, nothing happens.
Is that normal? Why doesn't a click bring the related app to front?
I've been holding out on the recent few versions of Ubuntu because of the recent changes, so I was just wondering if 10.10 will bring back some of those lost features.
1. Will we see a way to have a customisable login screen?
2. Will there be an option to move the close button as a standard setting?
I need to use php to run some scripts locally. I tried it with system, exec But it only brings back on line. Ideally I want to take all the out put back on my browser.
PHP ------>shell scripts ------> error + plus out put ^--------------------------------------------| some thing like that.
I had a make file which deals with hundreds of thousand jpeg images. I submitted this job by using: nohup make & Is there any possible way that brings this program back to foreground? I can only use ps to monitor the status, command jobs cannot find it.
I have just upgraded to lucid and the first thing that I noticed was that the different shutdown options (Logout, Restart etc.) disappeared from the user-switch menu (at least that's how I think it is called) where they were located previously under karmic. Logout and Shutdown are placed under the System menu currently, and they work fine, but my question is how to show all (or some) of the shutdown options in the System or user menu? I dislike going through the dialog and prefer to choose my action directly from the menu.I have tried removing and readding the user-switch applet, to no avail. I tried adding menu items to both the system menu and the user menu, to no avail either
How to bring Desktop back again on Fedora 15. We have developed an application that places some shortcuts on Desktop. With Desktop disappearing in Fedora 15, those shortcuts will become useless. Can we shorten the learning process in Gnome 3?
After doing a #yum update and updating 451 updates, after rebooting its gets to the white bar going to Fedora 15 at the bottom of the screen and just stops. No error messages or nothing.
I start a process, put it in the background running, then log out, then log in again, and want to bring the process to front again. I've looked in "ps aux" for the PID, but it won't be put in the foreground with "fg ###". What's the correct way? (I use the same account for both login sessions.)
I hate using Software Center. I can't pick more than one program to install at one time. It downloads only one program at a time.The downloads take longer. I'm not able to look at all available programs at once. It doesn't categorise the programs on the sidebar, but instead you have to use another icon window. Gnome-app-install was just easer to use. Anyone else feel this way?

-You can install gnome-app-install from this ppa repo.

I"m thinking of trying out Cairo Dock with Ubuntu for the next 2 weeks until Meerkat comes out, but if I prefer the gnome panel I'd like to bring that back. I can right click the lower task bar in Ubuntu and "remove this panel." if there is there any way I can bring it back? Also if anyone here uses Cairo Dock could you let me know your thoughts on it?
yesterday i upgraded my Maverick Meekat 10.10 to 11.04. When i was exploring new features of Natty Narwhal i by mistake disabled Unity in CCSM.

I had started a process through ssh and then i did 'cntrl+Z' and 'bg' and 'disown' before closing the ssh connection. That process kept running in the background in the other machine and now i want to bring it back to foreground in that machine. However running the command 'fg %<process_id>' is not helping. What do i DO!?
Our office housing keeping guy sat on my linux (Fedora 7) system and somehow removed the main panel. By panel I mean where all the menus are there - Applications, Places, System etc. and contains a tab for every running application. I brought back the panel but now I don't see the terminal launcher and I can't find it anywhere.It used to be there in "Applications -> System Tools -> Terminal" but now the System Tools option itself is not present there. System -> Preferences -> Look and Feel -> Main Menu. There one System option is unchecked but I can't check it and apply. I am logged in as root.
How to format hard drive (with ubuntu 10.10 maverick, 32-bit vs.) and, after it will have been formatted, bring all system settings and programs which I run know back e.g. Compiz, browsers and other (of course without installing each one of it separately)? Is it possible to copy some parts of the HD and copy it after format?I can add, that I'm using now three partitions: dev/sda1/ (with Win7 OS � 64-bit, NTFS); dev/sda3 (with ubuntu 10.10 32-bit vs.; ext3) and dev/sda4 (linux swap); dev/sda4 (NTFS for storing files).
I have a custom LXDE installation with mostly the core applications. (Read my signature for a better picture.) Because it is custom I do not have the option to double click and run a Linux (not Windows) executable file. When I try to open the application it says choose an application to open it with. Do I have to install an application like gdebi (except for Linux executable) to be able to just double click and run it?
I would like to find a way to have an option appear to open the on screen keyboard when I click in a text box.the moment I am using a ginn multi-touch gesture to bring up 'onboard', is there another way do this?
I'm a Fedora user, and recently I switched from KDE to Gnome. Since then I'm experiencing a nerve-wracking problem when I use the right-click. Almost every time when I right-click the result is the automatic selection of the option in the context menu which is at the same level as the cursor. This happens more than 50% of the cases. Is that normal in Gnome or am I the only one that experiences this kind of problem?
