View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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 just installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu on my small 64GB SSD alongside my main drive for storage. I got everything set up just how I like it (customized clearlooks with Ubuntu Mono Light icons) the same as I have it on my laptop. I disabled all system sound effects.This morning, I wake up to it having a different icon set, and the menus having an identical grey scheme. In addition, the Ubuntu system sound effects are playing, even though in the settings it says they are disabled.I'm not really sure what's wrong! It's the same in both compiz and metacity.Here's a screenshot. Note how the boring old-style theme is applied in the update window and the menu at the top, yet the customizing themes window has the correct appearance for the buttons (funny coincidence)EDIT: I think I've narrowed it down to gnome-settings-daemon. When I try to initialize it via the terminal I get this:
** (gnome-settings-daemon:3852): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.SettingsDaemon
** (gnome-settings-daemon:3852): WARNING **: Could not acquire name
I use a custom theme on Gnome. I use "New Wave" controls. Next i customised colours to get the Ubuntu purple, rather than orange. This however does not apply everywhere. If i hover menus, highlight text it's OK. On buttons and other controls it remains orange however.
I tried with gnome colour chooser and it seems to override the text only. How can i get read of this (in my opinion ugly) orange and see my (in my opinion far better ) purple tint on my controls?
I'am trying to change the color scheme of kate, using ./install.sh or append the content to that archive explained here:
zenburn - eye-gentle Kate color scheme KDE-Look.org
but doesn't seem change nothing, and doesn't appear "zenbur" in "Default Scheme", or even directly in kateschemarc but it is empty!
I need to change the default color scheme in Ubuntu's terminal. Or at least turn the colors completely off because this lime green hilight / light blue text is killing my eyes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just installed Ubuntu10.10 64bit on a DELL Inspiron Laptop dualboot with Windows VISTA. May be I did a bit too much: I resized the Win partition (wit Ubuntu Installation tools) and Win was not shut down but in sleep mode.Now in grub I can choose between Ubuntu, memtest and "Windows Recovery Environment" - first time Win came up fine (continued the session). After I shut windows down, it does not boot correctly (shutdown after half way Win boot).

I have read that installing ubuntu 10.10 will inevitably install grub2 with it(unless you use flash drive workaround). i am wondering how slackware 13.1 reacts to grub2.
Does it go on like nothings changed (if configured correctly)? Or does it freak out and have a fit? If slackware doesn't play nice with grub2. i don't think i will use ubuntu 10.10.

Ok, this ol' fudge is trying to figure out how to save some files to a Live Thumbdrive USBboot of Kiwi10.08 which is running on the Ubuntu 10.04.1 desktop. Using the included File Manager, I can access the fat32 USB flashdrive, read the folder named "Buk" I created in XP at the root of the drive and displayed as "isodevices/Buk" when viewed through "System Files" or "Files System", which ever it is. The options to copy/move itesm to that folder are greyed out or missing. Both copy and move options seem to work as normal otherwise on the desktop. I should check and see if it is even saving/modifying items there but I would almost guess to be correct in saying... NO! As i said this is a kind of Live boot from the Kiwi ISO.I was told about "Chown" but I have not a clue of it and the Wiki just made my head ring.One more question, where can I find a good ol' Linux Dunce Reference that wont confuse you more. Don't get me wrong, I tried math for dummies once, it confused me more, so I re-wrote the pages as I went, or thats what we're suppose to do ?

I just tried UB10's Startup Disk Creator under Admin drop down to install Ultimate Edition 26 and it worked like a charm. Now I have this distro. on a USB stick and can install it for friends rather than via disk. Also helpful for those with netbooks who do not have a CD/DVD reader. It was surprisingly painless and very fast
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubuntu Lucid formatted ext3. It boots with Grub (old Grub) in sdb6 (hd1,5) It mounts at /, and its partition, sdb6. is flagged boot.
I created a new partition for Fedora 13, 64bit. I installed Fedora in sdb8 (hd1,7), formatted ext4, and created a separate /home in sdb7, formatted ext3, so I might share it with Ubuntu, in sdb6.
Fedora installed with Grub2. It booted fine, and after adjusting references in fstab Ubuntu booted OK too, but rather roughly.
That is when I shifted the boot flag to the Ubuntu partition. So now the original Ubuntu Grub is handling boot once again. Ubuntu boots as before, but I can't get Ubuntu's Grub to boot Fedora. An earlier post suggested this code, which generated error 13, Invalid or inappropriate executable:
Code:
I tried the following code, pasted from the Fedora Grub, but it doesn't work either:
Code:
I've got alternative lines invoking the kernel, because someone had suggested omitting the direct reference to root= ....
Either way I get error 2 - Bad File or directory.
I suspect the problem may be that I'm booting Grub in an ext3 partition and trying to invoke Fedora in an ext4 partition. Does anyone know if that is the likely cause of my problem? If so I can reinstall Fedora formatted ext3.
Alternatively, can I create a Fedora /boot partition, and move/reinstall Grub there? Either way -- should I use old Grub, so both Grubs are the same?
Should I have assigned mount points to sdb8 (Fedora) and sdb7 (home)? Currently I'm not using sdb7 at all.
I'll attach a screenshot from GParted of my partitions.
I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on machine but wanted to choose RAID and LVM during partition scheme. Unfortunately I couldn't find such option during partitioning. Is it true that for Ubuntu 10.04 LTS it is unable to use RAID and LVM ?
