Ubuntu :: Windows Without Scroll Bars In UNR?
Jun 4, 2010
I am having a problem with Ubuntu Netbook Remix. I couldn't stand the new UI with the huge icons taking up my screen, and the maximize/minimize/close buttons displaced, so I enabled the normal Gnome desktop on my netbook. However, with my tiny screen I am seeing that some windows have lost all of the information, and no scrollbar is present.
For instance, when attempting to change account settings in Mozilla Thunderbird, some of the options would extend beyond the bottom of the windows where "cancel" and "ok" are found, but the window ends and no option to scroll down to the missing information exists. A similar problem happens when I try to make adjustments to some items in system administration.

Would be nice to have a scroll bar appear on windows, is that possible? or maybe scroll the whole desktop? kinda difficult to alt+rightclick+movetouchpad.

I installed the elementary theme 1.2.1~ppa106~10.04. Unfortunally I still get the old scroll bars. Only on applications I start with sudo, like nautilus or synaptic, I get the new scrollbars.

I am a ubuntu novice. I am running 10.04 LTS on a Lenova laptop. Runs fine. Yesterday upgraded firefox and upgraded Java 6 from update 20 to update 24 so that I could use the Zotero bibiliographic program in FF. After the upgrade and restart, the windows title bar that includes minimize, maximize and close buttons has disappeared from all windows that I open except google chrome. If I open and app, or FF, or the dvd player, title bar is gone. I have noticed that Java updates have caused similar problems before but none of the prescribed steps seems to have changed my system

I just installed Ubuntu 11.04 (gnome flavor ) on my notebook.Everything installed fine except that I'm seeing three problems I'm hoping someone can help me with (or point me in the right direction).
1. When I open any window (gcalc or Firefox for example), the 3 little buttons which are used to maximize, close, etc...) are missing. So basically in order to exit any app, I have to do it through the application rather than clicking the close button. If you go to Themes, you can see what I'm talking about. For example, the theme 'ClearLook' show's the buttons. If I choose this, these buttons are not there.Any ideas why this is happening or how I can fix it?
2. When I open any application, it positions itself in the upper left hand corner of my screen. The menu of the application is tucked under the Gnome menu bar, so basically to use any application requires me to move it first.so I can get to the app menu.
3. When I open any application, I'm unable to position the mouse such that I can resize the window. Its like the mouse cursor can't find the the fine line where it changes so that I can grab the screen to increase or decrease it.

I really enjoyed using Apple's wireless Mighty Mouse and Magic mouse because of their ability to easily touch scroll 360 degrees. Unfortunately, Linux drivers are not provided for these mice.Is there an equivalent wireless mouse that works well in Linux? Ideally with native support or community provided drivers, etc.

The new scroll tab that 11.04 has appears when you hover over the orange area on the scroll bar. The scrolling arrows are gone.Well this scrolling tab often vanishes before I can click on it to scroll down. Is there a way to revert to the old style, like the scrolling mechanism on these forums? It is nice to have the option of the arrows on top and bottom, along with the scroll tab thing.

Today upon booting my Xubuntu 9.04, I see that all new windows I open have their title bar missing and on top of my pannel menu. If I try to run windows manager from the menu, nothing shows up on the screen. Therefore I think my windows manager is not running at all. I have no graphic effects and dont want any. I noticed that nothing shows up on the task bar (bottom bar) when I have anything opened up in the desktop. Can't minimize, can't click close button, ...How do I fix this ? I followed a thread to install Compiz and emerald just so I could get it to work but I do not like this option. I do not want any special effects. The more effects/options I have the more possible problems I may get. By the way I also have this problem on my office Ubuntu 10.04. Both started having this problem recently. I suspect it is an update that was done that is causing this.

I'm using Filezilla in Natty and it keeps bringing up its own menu bar in its own window.
Obviously I want all my applications to only use the top new Global Appmenu Bar. It currently makes Filezilla look ugly and take up additional unwanted screen space.
Libreoffice fixes are all I can find. Does anyone know how to stop an application from using its own menu bar, and force it to only use the Global App Menu?

So I've been testing Gnome Do and I now want to activate docky. To do that I have to activate the desktop effects, so I installed drivers for my graphics card which work fine. But I have an infamous issue with my compiz which causes all title bars of windows to disappear. Is there a solution in which I can activate docky and still have my title bars?

It's a lot more laggy and jerky in GNOME/X, even with GL-render on. Is this normal with nVidia cards or should I try tweaking some settings?

Everything worked 100% great untill I change color depth to 16 bits.I do not want 24 Bits, I want 16 Bits. I have good reasons. Never had this problem in Gutsy 7.10 ...I deeply regret in upgrading to 9.10 ...
My video card:
Gforce 7950 GX2
Changes to xorg.conf file: Firstly, I saved it at 16 color depth with the sudo nvidia-settings and by clicking on the save to xorg.conf file Button. Rebooted computer....... It worked, saved file, and I got the following bugs:
*Cannot move windows by dragging their title bars.
*Cannot see close "X" Button in the title bar.
*Cannot see Minimize Button in the title bar.
*Cannot see Maximize Button in the title bar.
Went back to 24 bits and problem got resolved. Then i tryed: I did sudo gedit xorg.conf I changed all the 24's with 16's ... Rebooted computer....... It works GOOD... BUT: I got the same bugs from before. I will retype them below
*Cannot move windows by dragging their title bars.
*Cannot see close "X" Button in the title bar.
*Cannot see Minimize Button in the title bar.
*Cannot see Maximize Button in the title bar.
My xorg.conf file:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
# nvidia-settings: version 1.0 (buildd@palmer) Sun Feb 1 20:21:04 UTC 2009
Section "ServerLayout"

I've been running Xubuntu for the past month or two on my Acer Aspire One netbook with very few problems, and generally I've been happy. But this morning, I went to boot up my netbook to check my email and when it booted, I got to my desktop, but the bars at the top and bottom of the desktop are missing. I thought at first that it was hanging during the loading of Xubuntu and that there was a serious problem at hand that might've demanded a reinstall of Xubuntu, but upon further study once I got back to my campus, I discovered that the bars have simply disappeared and that everything else runs fine. When I try to click "Panel" in "Settings", which I'm assuming is where I'd adjust settings for said bars, nothing comes up.
As I think about it, it doesn't seem like a major problem, considering everything else still seems to function fine, but I would like to have them back again.

Whenever I boot into Ubuntu Karmic, the visual effects are turned off and any window I open has no title bar.The cursor keeps displaying the Busy wheel, even if nothing's happening. I have to go into Appearances and manually set my visual effects.I don't know how this happened, but it started around the time I installed CompizConfig.Karmic Koala, 1.6GHZ Intel Atom processor, 1GB RAM, dual-booting with Windows XP.

I didn't like the bar on top so I switched it to be on the bottom while the bottom bar was still there. On top of that, I wasn't thinking and dropped the pixel size for the bar from 24 to 23. I guess I assumed that the bars would either combine or one would be replaced; I don't know. But now I can't use anything from either bar, even though it shows some of the information from the first one. When I click it, it doesn't do anything. It's "under" the other bar, so to speak, rendering both of them useless.
Luckily I am dual-booting from Win7, so I can still use my system. I noticed that Ubuntu loads much slower than Win7, which really surprised me. It could be that the drivers need to be installed on Ubuntu, but I can't get to the driver installer.
should I do an uninstall, reinstall, and try not to be such an idiot next time?

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on my Cr48 (google beta laptop), which is downloaded from Google.
After a while of using it (it varies, and has been about 30 minutes recently), the menu bars at the top and bottom of the screen disappear.
Webpages perpetually load... but never do. Browser chats still work with people, I just cant load new web pages.
When I hit the power button and am prompted with three shutdown options, the top and bottom icon are red circles with a white X (like it cant load the icon), and all the text is just boxes like it cant load the symbols.
I have to hard reset the whole computer by pulling the battery.

My gnome menu bars suddenly froze for no reason. On the top, the system menu is open, but I can't click on anything. I tried Alt+F2, but I can't type anything in the popup or even close out of it. The bottom bar is also frozen, so I can't even switch between programs. The only thing that is working is nautilus, which I used to open Chrome. So without being able to run an application and since I don't know how to open a terminal with nautilus.

'm running Windows 7 and Ubuntu 11.04 dual-boot. After installing Ubuntu, I installed CompizConfig. So, here's my problem. I tried to enable the 3d workspace seitcher and when I did the title bars for all the windows disappeared. And I couldn't disable the 3d switcher. Not knowing what else to do, I restarted the computer. Now when I log in, it goes to my wallpaper but nothing works. All can do is shut down/restart by pressing ctrl alt delete. Is there anything I can do other than reinstalling?

I was setting up my Ubuntu 11, installed drivers and stuff.the last thing I installed was Wallpapoz - I was willing to have different backgrounds for different work spaces.I dunno exactly what happened, but when I restarted the computer, all the bars were gone: both the new apple-style dock on the left of the screen and the classic one in the top.I really don't know what to do know.I got into recovery mode, where the top bar is present, and I removed wallpapoz, but nothing has changed when I restart the computer normally.

After starting up today, I noticed that nautilus has suddenly become quite minimalistic (see screenshot). Additionally, each folder opens in a new window (didn't before) and turns gray when it is opened. It looks the same running as root (except not themed, of course).
I've already done
Code:
sudo apt-get remove --purge nautilus
sudo apt-get install nautilus nautilus-share gnome-session
Also, gksu no longer works properly. It always reports incorrect password, even when the password is correct. Luckily, gksudo does work. I don't know if this is related.

I'm still getting some vertical lines through my splash screen, they are just a little darker purple than the rest of the screen, but disappear over the ubuntu logo/text/dots. I've tried the following from the faq, which made the screen at least show up, which is wasn't doing before.
Bootup/Plymouth.
Users should experience a much faster boot however some users may experience problems with Plymouth after the nVidia graphics driver has been enabled. Users may experience plymouth using lower graphics resolution. [URL]
Graphical solution : [URL]
Command line :
(Some of the fixes put forward dont work for everyone.)
One that works for nVidia and to try is this.
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/default/grub
and add the line in BOLD.
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480
GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=1680x1050 Save the file and run
Code:
sudo update-grub
The resolution chosen should be your monitors native resolution.
Other graphics card users may get a black screen with flashing cursor and then a very short duration plymouth. [URL]. One fix for this is to create this file.
Code:
gksu gedit /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
and add this option FRAMEBUFFER=y, save the file.
Then
Code:
sudo update-initramfs -u

After being on the computer for awhile, it suddenly stops and goes to the purple screen like one would see when turning the computer on, only slightly distorted. after a few moments it switches to a black screen with a flashing _ but you can't type anything, and then it changes so it's blank, and these white bars start to flash on the screen. I just put 10.04 on my computer about two days ago, it's been doing it since. When I first tried to upgrade from 9.10 I encountered a huge error of some sort so I just put a brand new install onto the computer from CD.

Eclipse has too thick title bars (see attachment), even when changing the default font size from 10 to 8 the font changes, but the borders remain the same.Tested with Eclipse 3.6 in Ubuntu 10.04, Kubuntu 10.04 and Fedora 13.In Windows XP the title bars are thinner (in Eclipse 3.5 and 3.6), and also remain the same when changing the default font size from 8 to 10.
So the default font size differs in those two OS'es.It looks like the title bars under Linux are designed for 10px fonts, whereas in Windows for 8px.What are your experiences with Eclipse?
