Jul 15, 2010I installed deskbar and really like it as a multi search tool. But I would really like to have the actual search field present at all times in my lower panel. Right now, I just have the deskbar icon, which is like a magnifying glass with an orange little "electrical shock" (kind of reminds me of like a cardiogram line) coming out of it. I have seen screen shots before of other people's desktop with the actual search field constantly in the lower panel. And it was mentioned in those screen shots that it was in fact deskbar.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Modify Screen Size From 11'' To 10'' In 9.10?
Apr 8, 2010I've installed Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix on my girlfriend's computer, and everything went fine except the computer *thinks* it's got an 11'' monitor when it's actually something like 10.2". As a result, since Ubuntu windows now relies heavily on the screen size parameters, everything goes "out of the monitor": browser window, background image, etc In System -> Display, I see it's set as an 11'' monitor...do you know how I can modify this value to be 10'' ? There used to be an Xorg.conf that one could edit to permanently modify these values but now it's nowhere to be found
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Modify Menu.lst From Windows?
Apr 22, 2010I would like to be able to change which OS is the default for grub to boot, and I would like to be able to do so easily from either Ubuntu or Windows. I suspect that this may be possible if I put /boot on an ntfs or FAT32 partition (though I do not wish to install Ubuntu itself on such a partition). There I would put multiple versions of menu.lst specifying different defaults. Then, before a restart, I can run a script which will copy, as the 'true' menu.lst, the one which specifies the desired default for my next boot.
Is this possible? If so, what do I need to worry about? (I must admit that it is unclear to me how the code in the MBR even finds the correct menu.lst.)
There is a thing I have worried about with a dual booted system and which I suspect I do not need to worry about. However, I would like to be reassured. I have ntfs partitions and removable drives which both Windows and Ubuntu can access. If a crash occurs which leaves a drive "dirty" (e.g., after a power fail), I am assured that if I reboot the OS in which the crash occurred, it will realize that the drive is "dirty" and will take measures to assure that no corruption will ensue. However, I am not so sure about the correct response if the next OS I boot is different from the one that crashed. I think Ubuntu and Windows both use the same convention for noting that a drive is "dirty", in which case I am worrying about nothing.
The relevance of the above worry in this menu.lst context is that, if it is important to reboot the same OS after a crash, then I would also include for each OS on _startup_ a script that would make itself be the default for a next boot.

Ubuntu :: Can't Modify Login Screen In 10.10?
Feb 24, 2011I installed Ubuntu onto my computer, I downloaded all of the major appearance applications like Tweak. Using Tweak, I modified the login screen to have a custom wallpaper and no sound to play when I login, and it worked perfectly. When I re-installed Ubuntu after that first time (I re-installed it because I totally screwed with the GUI) and every time after that, I go to use Tweak and it still allows me the option to modie login screen.However, after I make the modifications and restart the GUI, the login screen background is just a blank purple wallpaper and the login sound still plays when I login (both are things I didn't select). I open up Tweak and the modifications I made are still there, but they don't apply. What's up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Modify Lilo From Boot Cd?
May 28, 2011Is there a way to run the lilo command from the ubuntu 10.10 boot cd? It doesn't get the directories right, as it has / mounted as the ramdisk memory file system, and / can't be demounted since it's busy. I can install lilo in the ram after booting from the cd with sudo apt-get install lilo. Mounting / to my sdb1 partition (where Ubuntu is installed) does not get the proper "maps" for the lilo command, since the cd ramdisk / takes priority. I prefer not to use grub, as I wish to use windows vista's bcd(edit) as the main boot selector and it won't boot grub from bcd to a partition; at least I couldn't get it to work in 11.04. I got lilo to work from the vista's bcd menu in 11.04, but had many glitches. Windows allows this type of proceedure from its recovery cds.

Ubuntu Installation :: Kernel Parameters : How To Modify Them
Feb 4, 2010Bottom line first: Is there a GUI or otherwise friendly tool to modify the kernel parameters? One that will give help on a highlighted parameters?
Now as to my reason for this question:
In preparing for an Informix installation, I may need to change some kernel parameters. I could follow the advice of G�rard BIGOT from a couple of years ago at this URL. However, messing with the kernel this way, by directly editing /etc/sysctl.conf, is a bit scary. I have already backed up the current one and started editing according the Informix machine notes. However, I have commented out my new settings. [:Chicken]
The scariest aspect of this is that the notes recommend settings to kernel parameters that I do not find in /proc/sys/kernel. for example, it recommends setting SHMMIN to 1 but when I can /proc/sys.kernel/shmmin, there is no such file. (I did find shmmax.) Similarly for the very logical shmseg (max number of shared memory segments) - not found. I am afraid to add these into sysctl.conf if the equivalent pseudo-files don't exist.
Additional question: Where [on-line] do I find all kernel parameters documented? This is so that I am more certain of what I am doing instead of relying on my memory. For example, I don't recall the names of the parameters that control Kernel-Asynchronous I/O (KAIO) events.

Ubuntu Installation :: Can't Modify Partition On Netbook?
May 27, 2010I'm trying to install Ubuntu Netbook Remix (which is amazing btw) on my brother's new netbook. The problem is that when I try to install it, there is no option to partition the hard drive (which is currently saturated with Windows XP), I couldn't do it via GParted either, the option to modify the size of the Windows Partition is just greyed out/not there. I don't expect him to be using Windows XP much but I want to keep it on there just in case, does anyone know why I can't edit the partition?
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: How To Modify Grub To Boot Into Vista
Aug 24, 2010I've previously had a dual boot Vista/Ubuntu machine that was working fine. Fast forward, I'm not able to boot into Vista at all and decide to reformat, return to factory settings after which I'll simply reinstall Ubuntu to get my functioning dual-boot back. I reformat the drive, everything seems to work fine and when I reboot I'm met by the GRUB screen rather then the Vista bootloader screen I expected. I select the Vista option and rather than starting to boot, seeing the Windows splash and then breaking (as it's been doing for a few weeks leading up to my decision to reformat), I'm promptly given a message that it can't find the disk 5252-ACFA (that Vista was previously on). After further inspection, my Ubuntu partition is still in tact and untouched, so I think the 'reformat' simply reformatted the Vista partition not the entire HD as I'd wanted. How do I modify GRUB to point to the new correct Vista boot?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Modify Xorg.conf Directives In 10.10?
Feb 21, 2011I'm trying to improve the functionality of my mouse in my installation of Ubuntu 10.10 desktp 64-bit running inside a VMware workstation VM running on a Windows 7 64-bit host. I stumbled upon some instructions suggesting changing a xorg.conf directive (specifically, change the mouse protocol from "imps/2" to "explorerps/2") which I'd like to try out. However there is no xorg.conf file in Ubuntu 10.10. I tried using Xorg -configure to generate the file and placing it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but it seems to make no effect. Using "xinput list" the mouse is still listed as imps/2 even after I changed the xorg.conf file and rebooted. It seems Ubuntu 10.10 ignores the xorg.conf file completely? If that's the case, is it possible to manually specify this setting that used to belong to xorg.conf at all?
