Ubuntu :: XFCE - Configuring Startup Apps / Adding Custom Keyboard

Jun 20, 2011

I am new to XFCE and I'd like to ask few question about usage:
1. How can I disable dragging windows through workspaces? I like them to stay at one.
2. How do you configure startup applications?
3. Why XFCE menu doesn't show some of my custom icons? (png, tried more than one, for custom launcher - eclipse)
4. How do I add custom keyboard? (ALT+SHIFT switching)
5. I restarted laptop and all my applications re-opened after restart. I do not want that. How to disable this?

General :: Adding A Custom Keyboard Layout In Kubuntu?

Feb 28, 2011

I have written a custom keyboard layout that I'm trying to install in Kubuntu 10.10. This is the layout: [URL]

I have added the layout as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/dotan and made these changes:

In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst I added this:
! layout
dotan Dotan
Of course, the !layout line was already there, I did not touch it.
In /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml I added this:
<layoutList>
<layout>

[Code]....

However, after a reboot I do not see the new layout in KDE's configuration for these things.

Note: this is a repost of a post on the geekhack forums. After posting I realised that LinuxQuestions is the better place to ask this. For reference, here is the original geekhack thread: [URL]

OpenSUSE :: Are KDE Apps Compatible With XFCE Or Icewm

Sep 23, 2010

I gave it 6 months, "Plasma" is still as disappointing as it was on day 1 :-( , even more so on SuSE 11.3, but I love the KDE apps. Any suggestions on a lightweight window manager (XFCE or Icewm) Don't care about effects, I like dark and minimalistic where I can define colours, window size and placement, before I rototill this installation.

Plasma has too many irritating features that I cant turn off, just too much like Windoze

Fedora :: GNOME Apps Don't Respect XFCE Theme (F15)

May 24, 2011

Just upgraded to Fedora 15 this afternoon, and for the most part there weren't any serious issues with it (except for rpmfusion lagging on a F15 yum repo). I installed the XFCE spin, and a lot of GNOME-specific apps don't respect my GTK+ theme at all. Screenshot: [URL]... On the left are two "XFCE" apps (Mousepad and Task Manager), on the right are two GNOME apps (gedit and the NetworkManager "Connection Information" window). Is there an easy way to fix this? I have a custom Murrine theme set, but the problem is still there using the built-in themes such as Glossy too.

Ubuntu :: Adding A 576i Custom Resolution?

Dec 7, 2010

I am trying to add a custom resolution (576i) when connecting an ASROCK ION330HT to a panasonic SDTV CRT.

I have previously had success connecting a laptop to the SDTV using powerstrip (Vista). Now that I am using Ubuntu I dont have that option.

I have used xrandr to try and add a 576i resolution (using --newmode, --addmode, --output). When I view the available resolutions using "xrandr -q", for the new 576i resolution I see the following:

720x576_@25i (0x19f) 14.0MHz
h: width 720 start 728 end 792 total 864 skew 0 clock 16.2KHz
v: height 576 start 593 end 598 total 625 clock 25.9Hz

Can anyone explain (0x19f)? I am wondering if that is an error??

If it matters, I'm using 10.04.

Programming :: Adding Job From Script (Custom Built RPM)

Mar 10, 2011

I'm building an RPM that requires adding a cron job into a user's(service account) crontab...from what I see in the manpages, this isn't possible, as the only viable option is to replace the crontab entries already there for previous scripts being run. Either way, as an example I've found I can make it work by directly modifying the crontab file using:

Code:
echo "* * * * * /bin/ls -la ~/ >> ~/ls.log" >> /var/spool/cron/userName

I'd just like to know, is there any MAJOR issues with modifying a the crontabs like this? This is running on a Redhat Enterprise Linux server by the way.

Slackware :: Adding - Geometry Parameter To Launcher Not Working Xfce 4.6.2 On 13.37

Jun 14, 2011

I'm finally getting around to configuring my Xfce desktop environment and I'm having a lot of trouble having applications remember their last position. I did some Googling and found this is either not a supported feature or it depends on the application if they want to support it or not.

I'm trying to make my default terminal start in the center of the screen.

I found that you can add the command line parameter

Code:

For example and it should open at a 70x20 size in the 20+30 position. I added that to my panel launcher's command and ended up with

Code:

However the terminal isn't opening at all.

After further reading, I discovered the default launchers use your preferred applications so I just used replaced the launch command with the following and it worked perfectly:

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Adding Custom PJL Instructions To Print Job

Sep 18, 2010

Getting sick of always having toner saver active when printing in Linux, I've used windows today to "print to file" and examine how the windows driver for my printer manages to override the toner saver settings.

It turns out that the windows driver prepends some PJL commands to the PostScript file that is sent to the printer. Nothing really fancy, so I would like to:Define two logical printers: one that uses the "toner save" feature and one that prints with the highes quality. For the "high quality" printer, prepend the same PJL commands that the windows driver adds.

Any hints on how I can do that (especially adding the PJL commands to the data that is sent to the printer)? My search skills seem to let me down on this one :-(

Hardware and software details:OpenSuse 11.2 HP LaserJet 6MP Printer networked through a D-Link one-port printer server (of the type you are supposed to plug into the printers parallel port)

General :: Adding Custom Files And Rebuilding Live CD

Jul 13, 2011

I have been able to successfully build a live Linux CD, the problem is during the course of setting up my new linux instance on my latop I had to install a few items (intel drivers). So got all the files and everything worked after manually installing, but wanted to try to rebuild the CD with all the files in the CD, rather than having to use a USB drive to put the file onto my laptop. When I made the changes to the configuration that I previously used(just edited the chroot file and did lh_build again) nothing happened the binary was no rebuilt. So some questions: If I am wanting to add files into a live CD build how do I do this? How do I rebuild a CD? or Is it possible? (i.e. I have to continually start from scratch each time).

OpenSUSE :: CUPS: Adding Custom Page Size To Ppd File?

Mar 24, 2010

I have a Canon i560 printer, which is rather well supported by Gutenprint drivers. I have been using those for a while and they serve my regular printing needs. However, when I try to print a good quality photo on glossy photo paper, strange stuff happens.The colour doesn't come out nice, but somewhat faded. Worse, no matter how I specify that I want to make a print on 10x15 glossy paper, the actual print is always cut off, printed landscape when I specify portrait, etc. The printer is shared via CUPS and when my wife prints from her Windows XP machine, the printer works normally and the colours look brilliant so there's no problem with the machine itself, it has to be in the driver.

I googled this problem extensively and in my search, I found out that Canon does in fact have a Linux driver for this printer, though it can't be found through their website. It is on their ftp server, however: ftp://download.canon.jp/pub/driver/bj/linux/I installed the driver from there, following instructions that I found on the web and I have the printer working. But...the photo paper size that I want to print on (10x15 centimetres) isn't available in the ppd file. I can also not specify a custom paper size to print on in digikam or gwenview, since that option is greyed out...Since a ppd file is a text file, I decided to see if I could add a custom paper size. I googled some more and found this page: Adding Custom Paper Sizes to a Custom Printer File Using a Text EditorWith the help of that page, I thought I had it nailed. I added the following to my ppd file:

*PageSize photo/Photo 10x15: "<</CNPageSizeName(photo)/PageSize[283 424]ImagingBBox null>>setpagedevice"
*PageRegion photo/Photo 10x15: "<</CNPageSizeName(photo)/PageSize[283 424]ImagingBBox

Ubuntu :: XFCE - 20 Nautilus Windows Upon Every Startup

Jun 6, 2010

Whenever I start XFce, about 20 Nautilus windows also start up, choking the system and generally being a nuisance. I don't even use Nautilus as my file manager under XFce, and whenever I try to delete it or set it not to run on the XFce session manager, it still appears on next startup. I've tried to find where XFce stores its session information - deleting Nautilus shortcuts from ~/.config/session-state did nothing - and had no luck. I'm using Ubuntu (not xubuntu) Lucid.

OpenSUSE :: LibreOffice Impress - Adding Custom Effects In Text Transition

Jun 29, 2011

I have an extremely urgent support request! I need to create a presentation by Friday. I have selected the template, the elements etc. But, I have to add transition between each text Outlines and each page. It's very easy to add page transition effects. But, so far I have not managed to add automatic custom effect in text transitions (with click).

For example, let's say that I have in page the following format:
Text 1
Text 2
Text 3
I want to present the elements as Text 1, then I click the mouse, Text 2 click the mount Text 3 etc. In MS PowerPoint this is done via Master pages.

I tried the same on OO/LibreOffice 3.3: Edit the Slide Master, modified the fonts etc. Then, I tried to add a custom animation in each element. But with no success.
First of all, it seems that any effect is named: Outline Text 1: Click to...
Second: Even If I accept the fact than there seems to be no way to add an effect for Outline 2 etc, I save and show the presentation. But, instead of a page transition then a blank page that requires a click from me to present the 1st element, I see ALL elements. So, is it possible to do that in OO?

Ubuntu :: Executing The Custom Startup Script?

Apr 17, 2010

I created a script, named mount_share.sh (in /etc/init.d), to mount the shared VirtBox dir at boot so I don't have to do it manually every time I load the VM. The script contains the following:

#!/bin/sh
sudo mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000 osx_shared /home/rob/ubuntu_shared

I made it executable:

sudo chmod +x mount_share.sh

Then I assigned it to run at startup:

sudo update-rc.d mount_share.sh start 51 S .

I'm thinking it may be either:

1) A pathing problem to the ubuntu_shared dir but, if I run "ls -al" from inside /etc/init.d, it does find the ubunt_shared dir

2) Trying to run as sudo from inside the script. But, since all startup scripts run as the root user, I shouldn't even need the "sudo" in there which I have tried to no avail.

Ubuntu :: Creating A Custom Keyboard Layout

Jan 22, 2010

There have been some posts on this forum about custom keyboard layouts, but the latest one was more than three years ago, and is outdated. I found the following code for a custom dvorak international keyboard layout here, but it directs me to copy this code into the folder /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc, a folder which does not seem to exist in 9.10 or 9.04.

Code:

As this is the only thing I felt Windows did better than Ubuntu (custom keyboard layouts), I would love to be able to change the layout and finally seal the deal with Ubuntu.

Debian :: Startup And Rc's - Run Different Desktops - Gnome - Xfce

Jul 16, 2011

After an error occurred i can log in using the recovery console and startx manually.

If i understood correctly recovery mode uses /etc/rcS.d which starts the computer with minimal services and the normal startup is /etc/rc2.d. What can rc3, rc4 and rc5 be used for? Can anyone run different desktops (gnome, xfce, etc) using these runlevels (i am considering that the base system install is the same for all desktops)? Where i can find information about the services that are listed in the rc folders, since some (hibernate, bluetooth, apache2) are not useful to me at the moment.

I am also interested to find out what makes the computer start at it's default runlevel. Is there a way to start rc2 (or rc3, etc) from the recovery mode? When i used to start my computer, it would load into grub, and then it used to get me to the login screen. This is something i would like to avoid (the login screen), and start at the command prompt. My startups are minimal since the computer is always on. I was thinking of 'copying' rcS into rc2 for a normal console start and then start rc3 or rc4 or rc5 to load a desktop.

I am using Squeeze, Gnome, default installation.
