I've read and seen cases were Ubuntu 11.04 users can snap their windows to the left or right by default (such that said window fills half the screen). I, however, cannot do this. Is there something I need to enable.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow can I disable gnome's behavior of snapping windows to screen bounds or other windows?
When I'm programming in supercollider, I have some GUI windows I can pop up to expose some real-time controls. For maximum use of screen space, some of the blank space at the windows' edges should be "out of bounds." On the Mac, and also when I've used supercollider in puredyne (an Ubuntu derivative for multimedia that uses xfce4 as the window manager), GUI windows are placed at the exact coordinates specified in my code.
But, gnome is "extra helpful" and says, "Oh, that window is going to be out of bounds. You couldn't possibly have meant that. Let me move the window inside the screen bounds for you." Well, actually I DID mean that and I don't want the window manager "correcting mistakes" that I fully intended. So then I have to move the windows by hand, even though my software put them where I wanted them in the first place.
In GNOME Desktop, sometimes when I go to close a window with the X at the top right, I go a little too far and all open windows snap to a scaled grid so I can see what windows are currently open. Cool little feature, but I'm curious if I can move it to a different corner of the screen. Does anyone know how I can move it, or at least disable it?
View 2 Replies View Relatedwith 11.2 and now with 11.3 (using KDE4) i got two issues with emacs:
1) The emacs window doesn't properly snap to other windows. There is mostly a small gap inbetween.
2) When switching between buffers with C-x b the emacs window shrinks vertically from below!
In Debian 8.1 with KDE, I don't find how to disable the automatic resizing of windows when the mouse drags a window to screen edges; seems that this function is called "aero snap".
I would like to disable this aero snap function.
1) How do I align my desktop icons to a grid?
2) Is it possible to move the close, maximize, and minimize buttons to the left side of the window? I prefer that to the since I'm used to GNOME Unity.
The only tutorial I have found on trying to get Aero Snap type window management in linux is the ubuntu write-up here:
[URL]
I have done everything it says and double checked, but still can't get it to work. I am using Linux Mint 9 amd64.
Gedit windows don't aerosnap left or right. They do upwards (to maximize).
Fedora 15, Gnome Shell, enjoying it.
A classical case for "aerosnapping" two windows side by side, in my experience, is a terminal on one side and a HOWTO in gedit on the other side. This allows easy copy and paste.
Anyway, a gedit window doesn't aerosnap left and right (it only heeds to aerosnapping on the top, for maximizing its window).
Not sure if this is the right sub-forum, but it seems close enough. As stated in the title, how does one go about this? I know Fedora supports this, and was wondering if there was a way to configure it in OpenSuse. I haven't found anything in the Control Center about this, or on the internet for that matter.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI would like to snap windows in GNOME (more specifically, under Ubuntu) to user pre-defined grids.
I have tried the "Snapping Windows" and "Grid" plugins for Compiz, and have also seen demos of PyWO, but none of these tools seem to provide the above option.
i recently upgraded to lucid, but now i can't find the grid plugin within compiz in the advanced settings. did it disappear or did i forget where it was?
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust bought a new computer and installed Lucid 64 bit. On my old PC, I had Lucid 32 bit. There I installed Grid using the instructions on this page: [URL]... But now, on the new computer, i cannot do it. I get the error:
Code:
rumtscho@bradbury:~/tmp/grid$ git-checkout 1281082ba678033e515a19419ca8ffe8641d744b.git-checkout: command not found. I did install everything mentioned in the instruction, including git-core. The git-clone row worked without errors. So why cannot I finish the installation?
I don't care if I get Grid from the git repository or from some other source (I don't understand why it is missing from ccsm in the first place, it got installed automatically under 9.10),
I just installed 10.10 this morning. No major complaints at this point, but I can't seem to find the Grid plugin for Compiz. Is it missing in 10.10? If not what do I need to do to activate it.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a newb on linux and I really need some help on how to get my job submitted through sun grid engine. This is the script I need to submit
#!/bin/sh -f
FILE=$1
LGFL=`echo $FILE | sed 's/.$//' | sed 's/.$//'`
echo "Running -> " $FILE
echo "Octave Output -> " $LGFL".log"
nohup /home/guol2/octave-3.2.4/run-octave -q < $FILE >& $LGFL".log" &
echo "Command Started"
It basically stats Octave and run a file I typed after. So if I need to submit it through sun grid engine how would I type it in command line or how should I do it in the sun grid engine control panel. I tried qsub -o <my path> -e <my path> run_octave Myfile.m (Myfile.m is the file I need to run)
i am trying to install sun grid engine on Linux.And i googled a lot but unable to understand from where i should start.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a linux application to convert video over a network/grid of computers. I currently have 4 new desktops that are just sitting around, all with the latest build of mint linux installed. My network consists of a 10/100/1000 switch, all desktops have matching NIC's. The videos i have are rather large in size and i would like to be able to have a "server" that will send out bits of the video, with a job to each desktop and have it converted and recompiled back to the server, and if it could convert these videos to a dvd that would be great. the videos i have now range from 8GB-11GB a piece, 33 videos all together, and it would take a single desktop ages to do anything with it. (also this is a nerdy way to do it )
I've done grid computing like this with Vegas Studio and After Effects on Windows but me and M$FT dont get along anymore .
In OpenOffice Writer, dragging on a Ruler item does not snap to a grid.E.g. I want to drag the "Indentation handle" by 1.00cm exactly. But it does not snap to a grid. So when I drag it, I got maybe 1.03cm or 0.98cm.How do I set it so the Ruler conform to a coarse grid of say 0.5cm? Then, I am assured when dragging, it will only land on 0.5cm, 1.0cm, 1.5cm, and so on. And it would not be land on 0.79cm, 1.07cm, 1.43cm, etc.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've looked through the forums and found that installing openmotif may fix my problem. I tried it but to no avail. Here is my challenge, I'm trying to install Grid Engine on my VMWare fedora installation. I get this dependency error:

I installed the latest version of openmotif and when I do a search for the two files, there is no libxm.so.3 but libxp.so.6 is there. When I try to install the rpm again I still get the exact same error.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have been using parts of the MRG (kernel-rt, qpid[dc]) package for some time; thanks to Johnny Hughes (hughesjr) for providing the initial binaries. Recently, I discovered that CERN builds MRG for their ScientificLinux distribution, which is a derivative of CentOS.
You can view the package list from their repoview or browse all the packages they support here. I have found these packages to be compatible w/ CentOS. Perhaps something can be done to leverage this work to make MRG available as part of CentOS?It's straight forward to setup a .repo file to pull MRG directly via yum, including updates.

View 7 Replies View RelatedI am somewhat familiar with SGE (Sun Grid Engine, now Oracle Grid Engine) commands but am having a problem when running parallel jobs.
Present Machine configuration:
machine I - 12 cpus
machine II - 12 cpus
machine III - 12 cpus
.... so on ...
One_machine - 16 cpus
(I have all machine of 12 cpus and 1 machine having 16 cpus)
I want to schedule jobs on these machine such that if I ask for 12 cpus - my jobs should execute on any of the machines which has all 12 free cpus (eg machine I or machine II) in this case.
Eg. suppose I ask for 24 cpus
Option I : 12@machine1 12@machine2 ----- I need this
Options II : 10@machin1 10@machine2 4@machine3 ---- I don't need such a distribution
Hence, Option I is ideal here. Also, when running 12 jobs on machine1 (say) - even if all 12 cpus are not being used at some instance of time, none of the 12 cpus should be freed.
In short, until my run finishes, all blocked cpus should remain blocked.
If you may understand, the purpose here is to run some performance tests.
I'm using 'qrsh' to launch jobs.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.04, and it's been flawless until tonight where, after an update, the normal window borders stopped working and were replaced by these ugly never-seen-before borders. I can get the borders back, but it'll kill compiz, but if I have compiz, then I have the ugly weird boarders
View 2 Replies View RelatedFor a couple of days ago, maybe a week or two I beguinne to get a 'snap-sound' in my compurt sound, like an eletrick charge or someting.

View 4 Replies View Relatedi would like to disable the aero snap function when using the mouse to drag a window to screen edges... i like to keep multiple small windows with various sizes at the edges of the screen (i.e. with media players listening to music or watching videos to have the screen in one corner while using the remainder of the screen for something else)
i would still like to keep this function with hotkeys (<super> + up/down/left/right) is there any way to work around this?
