Something seems to be replacing some portions of the default gui appearance in gnome with the old win98 look... Wine maybe? I have wine installed and I use it for a few of my pld windows programs, but all the programs in the screenshot are native linux programs...
View 7 Repliesthe other day I was playing around with various GDM themes for the login screen without realizing that they're not really supported in the newest version of Ubuntu (10.10). Somehow though, I managed to install one of these themes (not sure how I got it working), and now I want to restore it back to the default login interface. how to go about this without screwing something up.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed an image editor that I am fond of via Wine. It works fine but now I want to make it the default program when I open an image. I know for most programs how to change this but when I installed this via Wine it is not listed as one of my options for other programs to open that type of file. How do I change the default program to open a file when it's not listed?

I've tried Firefox and then installed Chrome; same thing.CTRL+ALT+F1 unresponsive, mouse is frozen.Note that this is an old build given to me by a friend. The build originally had one stick of 512mb and 256mb. I took out the 256 for diagnostic purposes. Additionally, the computer originally had an nVidia 6200 graphics card, which I replaced with a 6600 I had lying around--again for diagnostic purposes. I installed the recommended video drivers respectively. After three re-installations of Ubuntu, 2 different browsers, 2 different graphics cards, running memtest86 and singling out the RAM, and using a can of air to eliminate any overheating issues, I'm unsure what to do next. I have a feeling this is operating system related, though. In BIOS, the CPU fan seems to be running at fine RPMs, but no temperature is given
Do note I am entirely new to the Ubuntu/Linux OS, and wanted a cheap, nice solution for this salvaged PC that I'm giving to my little sister. edit #1: Left the computer idling on desktop with no browser open; seemed okay for hours on end. I opened Chrome to the google homepage (with the Pac-Man flash theme at the time), and it did not freeze then as well when set to idle for hours at a time.
Whenever I use Ubuntu, the internet seemingly dies out randomly. It never does this for windows 7. Could it be the router coincidentally dying, or is it a problem with Ubuntu?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using linux for a few months now and I love Ubuntu 9.10. I found a link to mspaint.exe and it works fine in wine. It can be found here: [URL]. I downloaded it, and then extracted the file to "/home/christopher/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Paint/". Then in that folder, I right click the file "MSPAINT.exe" and selected "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" and it opens just fine and works perfectly.
I want to put it in the menu panel under "Applications-Wine-Programs-Accessories". I tried doing it by right clicking the menu panel and editing menus, but I dont know how to make the file "MSPAINT.exe" automatically open with Wine. For some reason, when I got Project64 and a few other apps I didn't run into this problem because they were automatically put into the menu and opened with Wine by default.
I'm trying to get yast2 to default to the QT interface. I have used these instructions but each time I run yast from the KDE launcher it still uses the GTK interface. I have also checked that the Yast2-qt package is installed. And have rebooted after setting it up, but it has still not worked.
I know it can work as if I run in konsole /sbin/yast2 it uses the correct interface?
Im trying to achieve the multiple uplinks/provider found on LARTC.org. I have to get the IP addresses from my interfaces (EF1 and EF2) by using a script, but i dont know where to look at for the default gateway from each interface which got their ip address from my ISP.

I don't have wine installed. But I use teamviewer [URL] to remote support my friends. Teamviewer provide an "linux version" using wine wrapper. Every time I run it, some mime types such as .jpg, .wmv, .txt, .ini, v.v... was set to be handle by a "A Wine application". So, nothing happen when I open those file, I have to reset their handler to proper linux application.
1. How can I completely remove those "A wine application" handler? Is there a tool, or a settings applet in gnome that allow me to do that. Currently, I have to find those files in nautilus, right click and change the open with settings, that's frustrated.
2. Can I lock mime type handling settings from being changed by some application? Or even lock it from any changed at all? I don't mind remove the write permission from some settings file, I won't likely to change my current mime type handling settings in near future.
I got a new desktop and figured this would be a great oppurtunity to update to 11.3 (from 11.2) while migrating files.. However I have had lots of problems with it, right of the bat. My first installation got messed up right after it was done, so I had to redo everything. Now the system boots up all fine but I am experiencing crashes every once in a while. By crashes I mean nothing works; the system monitor graphs freeze, the clock freezes, system doesnt respond to key strokes. The only remedy is then to "force an unexpected reboot" (ref: IT Crowd). I have a feeling that it has to do with Yast or something related to Yast, as it is the only common denominator between the crashes so far. However the system doesnt crash everytime I start Yast so I cant really say anything conclusively..
I have also realised that when I attach a secondary screen the graphics get kinda screwed as well.. if that makes any sense... Here are my system details: Dell Vostro Desktop with Core i7 64bit processor

What could be the problem here? btw let me know if anyone wants to see logs from /var/log/messages
I'm not sure how to describe this because no-one else on the internet seems to have had anything even vaguely resembling this problem. I'm trying to install wxPython for openSUSE 11.3 (which seems to be called python-wxGTK which is fine). I don't think it's a problem with that particular package because I seem to remember something going wrong ages ago, the last time I installed something, but it didn't affect that particular install so I paid no notice. I'm sorry, that was a really vague statement and won't help anyone in the slightest. Anyway, the reason I think that event was relevant is that ever since then my Gnome menus have been out of sync - the new package I installed didn't appear on the menu.
Anyway, onto actual useful stuff. Just as a test case (to see that nothing was wrong with wxPython) I installed another small application with zypper (just the standard sudo zypper install moneyplex). zypper didn't complain at all and as far as I know it went perfectly.

I had too many desktop carcasses laying around so I combined what I could into one box with too much hardware in it and discarded the rest. I installed Meerkat on it and it runs like a charm besides a few bumps in the road that I was able to correct. I get no sound on the thing. I have done pretty much everything indicated on this page: [URL] with no success and came to the realization that the problem had to be elsewhere.
Here's what I am working with:
Code:
01:0b.0 Multimedia audio controller: Rockwell International Device 4310
Subsystem: Risq Modular Systems, Inc. Device 4310
Flags: bus master, fast Back2Back, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11
I/O ports at 2000 [size=64]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: RIPTIDE
Kernel modules: snd-riptide
01:0b.1 Communication controller: Rockwell International Riptide HSF 56k PCI Modem
Subsystem: Risq Modular Systems, Inc. Device 4311
Flags: fast Back2Back, medium devsel, IRQ 11
Memory at f4100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Like I said, everything should be installed properly because the card is recognized and alsamixer is working and nothing is muted, and actually when I plug my speakers into the modem's jack, I do get sound output. Extremely crappy because it's probably not meant to carry sound above 8-bit. Is it possible that it is interfering with the rest of the sound card? And if so, how do I fix it? I have been looking around GNOME for a way to remove the "Communication controller" but have not found a way to disable just the modem or force the soundcard to recognize 2 outputs instead of one.
when I scroll around in the editor window these annoying lines appear and block out text (see the attached pic). They disappear only when I click on them. Its absolutely maddening when you are trying to debug. I thought it might just be the editor I was using (DrPython), so I tried another and the same thing started happening. Theses lines have never appeared in any other application I have used.

View 1 Replies View Relatedafter many a tear I just by sheer chance found out that, when logging in to my gnome-session (or any session really) from kdm I can do something that has eluded me for quite a while now: change screen-configuration between 1 screen and 2 screens as I please without having to log out, shutdown x, copy xorg.conf I need, restart x, log back in.
So question is: what could it possibly be, that makes GDM break a feature like this for the nvidia-settings dialog? Can anyone confirm this? *wants that error and shoot it in the face... er... code!* I still don't feel like reinstalling the whole thing, just to find out if this is due to this system being... well... OLD. Also call me a bit oldschool, but reinstalling is just lame.

I recently switched my openSUSE 11.1 install from KDE 3 to KDE 4.4 via the one-click-install from [URL]... I was trying to add a German keyboard layout to the default US layout. But as soon as I enable keyboard layouts (via Configure Desktop-> Language & Regional -> Keyboard Layout -> Enable keyboard layouts), the default layout gets messed up (arrow, pos1, end keys etc. no longer work). I'm running openSUSE 11.1 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T61. Several keyboard layouts worked fine with KDE 3. Could it be that some KDE 3 settings are interfering with the KDE 4 settings?

View 1 Replies View RelatedActually I had a folder called Lib, in which I had a few libraries installed and configured.(MPI, PETSc, SLEPc) I accidently deleted (by rm) the contents of that folder.
Then I reinstalled MPI,PETSC,SLEPC using the same tarballs as earlier(thus, the version etc. is the same).
I already had a fortran program with many modules and subroutine files, and the corresponding makefile which used to compile and run fine. But now when I type "make" in the same directory as before, I get this: (shortened, many similar errors)
Code:
Firstly, why is mpif90 compiling my program when I didnt tell it to? In my makefile, I have specified gfortran as my compiler....nowhere have I even mentioned mpif90. Such a thing never used to occur before.
Also, if I rename file_variable.f to file_variable.f90, these errors dissappear (I understand why, but that is not the problem), but a new error comes:
Why is the new MPI installation interfering with make ? I want to go back to how things were before I stupidly broke all installations. The errors themselves are not the problem, the problem is why the new mpi installation is interfering with make.
It seems as if mpif90 has taken over make and gfortran. I suppose I didnt install it correctly, or probably I didnt uninstall the earlier one correctly.
Everything that worked earlier doesnt work suddenly. I use ubuntu 11.04 MPICH2-1.3.2
I've ran into something rather odd. I've installed wine and Office 2007. If I am to open a office 2003 (doc) or office 2007 (docx) file, it will open wine and office 2007 to edit the file. This is the desired behaviour. If I am to open an office 2003 (doc) file in firefox, openoffice will be opened. If I am to do the same with an office 2007 (docx) file, wine and office 2007 will open.where to start to get wine/office 2007 to open files from firefox?

I want to use a wireless network.
The problem is that network manager keeps insisting on asking kwallet for permission to start up the network. As a consequence boot hangs because the nfs network can't find the files in /etc/fstab because the network can't start because you can't see kwallet until it finishes booting.
I have options set in networkmanager to store the password in connection secrets in secure storage, and it insists on asking kwallet!
I don't want to get rid of kwallet because it's very useful otherwise - just not at boot time?
How do I modify the behaviour shown here?
