Ubuntu :: Always Start Certain Applications In Inverted-color Mode?
Jul 15, 2011
I know that you can hit super + n to invert colors of the currently active window. Is there a way to start an application, let's say for instance nautilus, always in this mode?What's the actual command behind super + n?

I used to use the negative filter (Compiz) with Eclipse in order to have a dark background, but I wasn't satisfied. Then I ended up changing the Appeareance for all gnome windows (and applying a color scheme to Eclipse editors), so my background is black and the text is white.
It works perfectly for most of applications, but some (i.e. the crappy Celtx) are unreadable, as they keep the white of the font but use a white background. For Celtx, I'm still searching for the css to modify. But, overall, it could be great if there was a way to define one -more standard, black on white- color theme to be applied only on some applications (the conflictive ones).

I have installed ubuntu 11.04 just yesterday and have installed the necessary nvidia graphic drivers too. But when I maximize any application(be it chrome, firefox, vlc, media player), the whole screen becomes white and when I escape from it to make it of small window, it again runs normally. Sometimes it work fine, but most of the times it is like what I told above. Please tell me some solution or I will have to go back to windows.

I am just starting out with ubuntu.
I downloaded emacs, and wanted to use php-mode, so i downloaded something called php-mode. I would have posted a link, but this forum restricts me from doing that.
Inside are a bunch of files, and no readme. I tried to ask google how to install this, but found nothing that made sense to me (i am still a n00b).

I am using the screen app, and have set bce to on, and issued the following commands to set my background and foreground color: tput setab 4; clear; tput setaf 7; clear;
This temporarily sets everything properly on my screen. However, when I issue any commands that change or set their own background color (for example, when I issue an "ls" command with colorized output), the background color gets lost for any new output and I have to reissue the commands listed above in order to retrieve my background color.Ideally I'd like to keep my background color when issuing these commands, as it serves as a good way to remind me of what environment I am currently issuing commands in.

After upgrading to Natty/Unitiy I was having problems with very slow and choppy window motion. I tried reinstalling fglrx, and now some of the colors in firefox are coming out inverted (e.g. yellow -> purple) or perhaps just scrambled in some other way (see attached screenshot). There are no other issues I've seen other than some colors in firefox. Most colors look okay.
I downloaded chromium and there are no problems with colors there. I've also upgraded to the latest fglrx drivers from the ATI website and nothing changed. I also uninstalled and reinstalled firefox and still the colors are coming out strangely. Some info. I have an HP Pavilion tx2500ca, with ATI Technologies Inc RS780M/RS780MN [Radeon HD 3200 Graphics].

I'm running the latest 10.10 and loving it, former Windows user I noticed just shortly after installing 10.4, that a few select applications would open and I would see "Starting (application name)" and then it would close and nothing else would happen. I suspect this is related to the fact that I recently took my Video Card out of my PC and Ubuntu is not detecting my Intel Chip?

I rediscovered a concert I converted ~3yrs ago but playback inverts the colour. It plays ok on Windows and virtualdub reports the avi as DivX though I believe I was using xvid & ffdshow at the time. how to invert the inverted colours?
I discovered the extended settings in vlc. I guess it just doesn't show the colour blue. Kind of ironic because of the concert.

I have a HP mini 2133 with Ubuntu 10.04 NBR installed, but because the CMOS battery went flat and the date on the BIOS got reset to 1980, I now get a failure starting the machine (Superblock failure: Last mount time is in the future). I've already googled on this error, and the general advise seems to be "run fschk and let it complete", but my question is...I don't get a grub screen come up when Ubuntu boots, and Contrl/Alt/F* doesn't bring me to any login windows. So how do I interrupt the startup, and get to a login window before I get the mount error.

I have it set up to start my music player (RBox) and torrent program (Transmission) when I log in. The problem is all my data is set on my 1TB external hard drive, because my internal hard drive only has 80GBs of space. When I start up the programs open but the external hasn't had time to link the file directories which messes screws up my torrents into having to verify every time and my music has to "recalibrate" as it were.
This isn't an issue when I manually open the programs after a minute or so but what my question really comes down to is... Is there a way to delay an automatic startup? Say, run application 3 minutes into boot up?

I have a problem in my Ubuntu box. The applications defined in "Startup applications" fail to start. On another user's account, everything works fine. I think that's some configuration problem. Where are the data of of the startup applications stored? (i suppose it's .xx file that I could just delete to restore defaults)

I have Asus Eee PC T 101 mt. Running SuSE Linux 11.4, KDE version 4.6.0 (Release 6).
The image from integrated webcam is inverted. The image can be upturned to correct orientation by ticking the "Upturned" effect in Webcam (wxCam) application. However, these options are not available in Skype or Google video, or probably in all other services using webcam. Other person in video chat sees my inverted image. Is there a way by which I can correct the situation?

I am running Sid. After a dist-upgrade, when I boot into a DE, trying to run applications doesn't work.
If I click on an icon, I see a "Starting <Application>" icon on the task bar and then it dies. If I try running Alt-F2 and then typing the name of the application, nothing happens.

I have been wanting conky to run at start up... fortunately I got that part done (I am very new) but after that, even though my conky was not configured to stand on top of my applications it would, and I didn't want that so I added some more code, and now it disappears if I click over it, it is still running, just not visible.
Here is my code...

I use Terminator as my terminal and in the last couple of months, I need to either run
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 /usr/bin/terminator
or
symbolic link /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 to the above file
In order to have the application run without the error message: You need to install the python bindings for gobject, gtk and pango to run Terminator.
I have been using the symlink method for the most part, but when I run an apt upgrade, often the /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6 symblink changes to point to /usr/local/lib/libfreetype.so.6.5.0 and I have to manually re-link.
I have tried reinstalling gobject, gtk and pango packages for python but nothing has worked.

Have been running F 15 with Gnome, no problems. Decided to install KDE to compare to Gnome. (I used KDE several versions ago). Desktop appears normal, however only some applications would open. Reinstalled KDE, again desktop appears normal, however now no applications open (including settings and file system).
