I'm running the netbook remix on my laptop and I really like the user interface. Particularly, maximus auto maximizing your windows. I've figured out that for the apps I don't want to maximize, I can add them to maximus' ignore list. But, with Chrome and a custom app that I'm writing, I want maximus to maximize the main window but not maximize any window that the application opens. The basic use case is when I click my delicious button in Chrome, I don't want the resulting window to be maximized. Is it possible to fine tune maximus this way? tl;dr - Is it possible to fine tune maximus to only maximize an application's main window but not the child windows? - Where can I find more detailed documentation on maximus?
After giving it a try for the last month, I decided to ditch Unity and switch to the EFL version of the old netbook launcher. To gain the ability to modify the panel, I followed the steps on this page to convert the normal Gnome session to emulate the netbook remix session.
It worked... sort of. My problem is that certain applications are being misplaced by Maximus. I first noticed the problem after I set the top panel to auto-hide, at which point certain apps, like gnome-terminal, weren't being maximized. After I disabled auto-hide on the top panel, gnome-terminal and certain other applications are being maximized, but they're shifted down so that there's a sizable gap between the top of the window and the panel. To make things even more interesting, window controls are still where they're supposed to be as far as clicking with the mouse is concerned, so that I have to click where a certain object should be rather than where it is.
I've tried deleting the Gnome configuration directories (e.g. .gnome, .gnome2, .gconf, etc.), but other than resetting my panels, it didn't have any effect.
EDIT: If I unmaximize a window and then maximize it manually, it displays correctly, so it seems like the problem has to be with Maximus...
I like having Maximus working on my netbook for most programs. There are a few I found it annoying for and I was able to successfully tell Maximus to exclude them (Tomboy and the terminal).
However, I can't figure out what the window name for Nautilus is to tell Maximus to exclude it. I've tried Nautilus and nautilus (not sure if case matters)..
If I use the program Maximus and set it to undecorate the titel bar, after a while my panel goes invisible. If I close a maximized Nautilus window, it always goes invisible immediatly. The panel is not hidden or disappeared, just invisible. I can still click everything in the panel.
I have read a million threads about adding exceptions to Maximus, and I know how to do that, but is there any possible way of telling Maximus not to touch any programs except the ones I specifically want it to? Actually, the ONLY program I want it to touch is Firefox.
Is there some secret syntax I could put in the exceptions to the effect of "all and not firefox" (as in, make all programs an exception, except Firefox)?
I've been looking for documentation on the "Ubuntu way" of configuring IP alias addresses, especially in Ubuntu Server (servers being where IP alias addresses would tend to be used). I cannot find any documentation. It seems NetworkManager also runs on the server, and has no means to do IP alias addresses. I shut it down because it interferes with manually configured aliases (takes them back out or sometimes worse). But I am just wondering why all this is. I've had to modify startup/init scripts to get the aliasing working. That's not a problem for me since I have worked in Unix at that level for so long. But I would think there would be some standard way for Ubuntu Server (or any other) to do this. I just can't seem to find it.
I found a forum for Kaffeine but I wonder if there is actual documentation? Although I can play any video or stream with it, I do not understand many things like time shifting or program guide. There are config links in the menu but they really only have 2 or 3 options. Nothing about Kaffeine is explained. I would think that a program that works so well and is so popular would be documented.
I was wondering if there is any documentation available that explains stuff like, The finder is called Nautilus etc... just so new Ubuntu users can equate what is similar/ different between the mac OS environment and the Ubuntu environment?
I am new in Linux. I want some information about the below:
We have 4 half hight blade systems and I want to install Linux on all systems and make one big logical virtual systems. Please share some information and documentation about this technology and what this technology is known as.
When I try to install something VIA Software center, there's always something else installing first. So, I chose the obvious thing, and ran sudo dpkg --configure -a. Here's what it fed me Code: joshua@joshua-laptop:~$ sudo dpkg --configure -a [sudo] password for joshua: Setting up sun-java6-doc (6-15-1) ...
This package is an installer package, it does not actually contain the JDK documentation. You will need to go download one of the archives: jdk-6u10-docs.zip jdk-6u10-docs-ja.zip (choose the non-update version if this is the first installation). Please visit [URL] now and download. The file should be owned by root.root and be copied to /tmp. [Press RETURN to try again, 'no' + RETURN to abort]. I went to the website and couldn't find either file.
I installed openjdk-6 on my ubuntu 9.10 system along the the documentation package and some other, related packages that looked promising but I cannot figure out how to access and navigate the documentation. (This is veering out of the scope of this forum but I also cannot figure out whether I have SJSXP installed or how to acquire and install it in case I do not.) Would one of you be gracious enough to help me figure this out so that I can get started?
I'm used from Gentoo that the documentation (info-/man-pages) is installed by default (or at least it's possible to enable it by default for packages that don't do that). However I notice on my Ubuntu installation regularly that a lot of documentation is missing, for example info gcc gives me just the man-page of GCC and not the GCC manual, and for bison I don't get any info documentation.I'm aware that for these packages there are always *-doc packages, but most of the time I'm realizing that the documentation is missing when I'm offline, so there's no way to just install it then.

I've been attempting to install GEANT4 (a physics simulation program thing) however, I keep running into an issue. I've attempted to find answers within GEANT Documentation, but this seems to be experienced often by users, but not addressed within their documentation. Anyways, when I try to build it says I have installation errors, and the only one I can find within the output is this:
Code: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [/home/zach/geant4/geant4_9_4_b01/lib/Linux-g++/libG4FR.so] Error 1 Creating shared library /home/zach/geant4/geant4_9_4_b01/lib/Linux-g++/libG4visHepRep.so ... /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
How does one report bugs in the Ubuntu Documentation wiki? For instance, this page [URL] say there is a a tree entry /apps/gnome-system-tools/users yet I do not see any gnome-system-tools entry.It would be preferable that any Ubuntu documentation about gui related interface also list a how to do the change via command line, since that is more reliable than the ever changing gui stuff.
I am using LibreOffice under Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP, and trying to record some macros. I can find no documentation with for recording macros. There are some forum threads of individuals, but the replies all recommend external programs. LibreOffice has its own macro recorder, doesn't it? It is on the Tools menu, as in previous versions of OpenOffice, but "record macro" is blanked out. Is this because LibreOffice 3 can't do macros? I have no idea why an external program should be needed.
create documentation with screenshots that have stuff on them indicated with arrows, circles, highlighted areas and the likes. I attemped to use the Gimp for this, but found out the app is clrealy not intended for such use. Then I tried LibreOffice draw, but it seems page-orientated, saving a whole bunch of whitespace I don't want after I imported an image and put stuff on top of it. A few quick searches did not yield anything looking very promising. So I'm looking for image editing apps in which doing these kind of simple operations is trivial, or even apps geared towards such tasks.
Does anyone know where to get documentation for KPackageKit? I've searched on KDEs web site and this forum without success. Also on Fedora.org and googling but nothing so far.I recently loaded this distro (F13) to try it out after using mostly openSUSE and some of the minimal distros. I'm finding there is quite a learning curve, even I started in linux with RedHat 5.1.
I use OpenSuse 11.3 with Kde. I've downloaded some documentation of applications in .pdf and .html. I've installed it with yast and see it has been extracted to /usr/share/doc/... Is there any tool for indexing and searching for that documentation? Tried with khelpcenter, but only indexes KDE documentation.
I am looking for a similar script like sydi-linux.py that will work with a Debian box. I want to document my server setup & just looking for an easier way to do it since I have to do this x12.Or do I just need to try & make this script work and shut up about it?
So I need to make an IPsec vpn. I've been told to use Shrew Soft. But I'm completely lost on where to begin. I've gone trough the documentation and stuff but I have no idea what to do next.
I can't find anything on the site how to install or configure the shrewsoft shizzle. The only thing I could use is something about ipsec-tools because all the rest is using a graphical interface (which ofc I'm not seeing how I'm using a server edition).
It is sad to see so many tools undocumented, that even makes it hard for a professional to use it. Why write a tool if you are not going to tell anybody how to use it?
Is there a guide somewhere that covers all the security module topics for Linux, somewhat from top to bottom. Such as LDAP TLS RSA secure auth... generating certs etc etc. All of it and how it all ties together. Sure I can find you should use this etc., or guides that don't explain much or how they work together to complete the sweet. TLD seems to suffer from the same thing that I just stated...
