Ubuntu :: Control What Buttons/menus Are Listed And Which Icons Are Listed Under Each?
Jul 26, 2010
i just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 the netbook distro. at the desktop view there is a list of about 10 buttons/menus listed on the left hand side, is there anyway to control what buttons/menus are listed and which icons are listed under each of them? having a netbook i would like to remove and unclutter the desktop view as much as possible but i dont want to remove those apps i still want to be able to open those apps if i want to even if by removing those icons and menus/buttons makes it a pain.
consider reading this [URL]..Ubuntu-Tweak doesn't have the option Startup which includes Session Manager Session Control and few other options are not there. I am running the latest version available to download. I remember having all those menus in lucid. for a better difference comparison see the menus in the ubuntu tweak homepage [URL]..how can I get these option back. here is the error I get when I run Ubuntu Tweak from terminal
I just did an install from opensuse 11.0 to 11.3 using the live web install. After the install, I found that the monitor always reverts to 87hz refresh rate and must be manually adjusted to 60hz. Also, there is no adjustment for the monitor resolution beyond 1024 x 768. I can not find the video card info in yast like it was before. Do I need to add the ati sources in yast? Will that give me a way to adjust the video card properties? Video card is the ati rage. Box is a dell optiplex pentium 3.
I have installed 9.10 and do not have any sound at all. i did do a list of playback devices with aplay-l and it did not list anything. I looked in sound props and didn't find one either. I have had other versions of Ubuntu and had no problems. the machine I've loaded is a Toshiba laptop.
I'm trying to use this thread to set my laptop's resolution to 640x480. To do this, I need to use the addmode command which expects me to list an OUTPUT. What OUTPUT do I list? The "xrandr -q" command doesn't list any outputs.Here is the result of me typing "xrandr -q":
Code: Screen 0: minimum 800 x 600, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
I did some searching, but haven't found a good solution to this problem I'm having. While there are a lot of issues with syncing between my desktop and netbook (we'll get to them another time), I am really trying to get two folders from my desktop to sync to Ubuntu One. I followed the reinstall steps here a few times and it has almost fixed the problem.
My last issue is that my .mozilla folder won't sync at all. If I right click on it in Nautilus, I get a greyed out "stop syncing with Ubuntu One." I can't stop it and can't start it. If I do u1sdtool --list-folders, then this folder isn't shown. I've tried disconnecting, reconnecting, and a lot in between.My question is, is there a config file or something like that where maybe this .mozilla folder is still set up that I can just delete? Clearly, it thinks it's set up when it isn't and I'm not sure if there's somewhere on the filesystem that can be checked or cleared. One thing I did notice when I was going through the instructions above is that I don't have a .share folder and thus no /local/ubuntuone under that.
For some reason, my CD/DVD drive is not visible in Nautilus. I I can't see it either as a top-level item in Tree or Places views or in File System > /media. There is a /media/cdrom entry, but nothing in it, even with a DVD in the drive. When I type "sudo blkid," there is no entry for the DVD drive. It is physically connected and I can read from it when I dual-boot into Windows XP; just can't find it in Ubuntu
1: In my grub menu Windows 7 is listed, I don't know why. Win7 was installed on this computer before,but I formatted the HDD before I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.10. How to remove it?
2: When I boot I don't get a boot image, only a blinking cursor in the upper left corner. Not a big deal, but I would like to have a normal boot image. Any ideas how to fix it? I tried googling but I only find old threads. My laptop is a Acer Aspire 7735Z
Graphic card is ATI Radeon HD 4570. BTW; I got no other problems what so ever. Everything works great really.
How do i run applications that i have installed, that are not listed in the application menu? ive installed many programs with no problem-- then, i couple that i have installed from the package manager state that they have installed successfully, yet i have no idea where to find them in any menus.

I had Windows XP and Suse 9.2 running in a 486 Optima MyPC.A toggle switch connected to the master pins of 2 40GB hard drives allowed either operating system to be selected for boot up.The Optima recently died, the 2 hard drives and selector switch have been located in a Dell Dimensions 8300 Bios Rev A04.Needless to say Windows will not start but Suse does and the data on both drives is viewable and Open Office 1.1 useable.The 2 DVD/CD drives in the Dell unit are not detected.How do make these drives operational?You will appreciate I am not too familiar with Suse Linux, having tried several methods I often get "You don't have permission" or similar.How do I change to the Top Level Permission?
We have a cross-platform file manager Acelet Filer (for linux, solaris and Windows) at URL... It looks like WindowsExplorer of Windows XP. So Window-ers do not need to change their finger habits.It is freeware: free to use, free to distribute. We publish it as a deb package and Java installer. How to make it be listed in Linux repositories?
I recently installed ubuntu 9.10 and a day later updated with all the suggested security and recommended updates. Now I notice that in my Grub there are two different kernel versions listed. Are they both necessary? Can I / should I get rid of the older one, and if so, how?
I ask because after all these updates I notice my computer runs much slower, so I don't want it overloaded with unnecessary software.
I'm trying to install Ubuntu 9.10 on a Asus P5KPL-VM mainboard. However the installation doesn't recognize my partitions. If I just boot Ubuntu the partitions are recognized with GParted and by just mounting them and browsing in file explorer. I'm using a SATA disk. I've tried boot option pci=nommconf irqpoll as found in this thread [URL] with no success.
I have a dual boot desktop with WinXP on C: and Ubuntu on D:. GRUB 2 handles the start-up. Having installed multiple updates to Ubuntu, my GRUB menu now lists:
and (recovery mode) for each of the above, along with the mem test and WinXP.Is there any reason I need to list all these variants of Ubuntu? If not, can I simply edit them from the GRUB config file or must I do something else to actually uninstall them?
I was trying to install some Windows applications in Wine/PlayOnLinux. The result was not very useful for what I wanted and I removed all the application including wine and Playonlinux completely from my computer (9.10 64bit).But I was not really able to completely clean up what I did because when I right click on any files and use "OPEN WITH", I got a LONG list of application with many of them are uninstalled and duplicated.
KDE partition manager reports /dev/sda3 is currently type "unknown".I have tried reformatting this partition as linux swap, it says successfully done, but both Kde partition manager and gparted still immedietly report this partition as "unknown" again.
How do I edit the Versions listed in GRUB? I have at least 25 different Versions listed in my GRUB Screen but they are not in the menu.lst !? I only use 2 of them.

I'm trying to make the changes listed in post #5 here to my Inspiron 8000: There's no xorg.conf in Xubuntu 10.04. But I figured out how to create one, and I edited it as suggested. But there's no menu.lst in Xubuntu 10.04 either. That is, the file called "menu.lst" is located in
/usr/share/doc/memtest86+/examples
and it has no "defoptions" line. So how can I make the poster's suggested changes (i.e., do something functionally equivalent, assuming that's possible) to my newer system?
The title says it all really. I run Empathy, have used it for a while with both Google-chat and MSN protocols. I've been using it for a few months now and suddenly my MSN contacts have all disappeared.
People are able to contact me via MSN, and when their message window pops up I am able to respond. It says they are offline however.
I have tried listing all offline contacts but they still do not appear in the list.
I have tried uninstalling (including config files) and reinstalling but this wasn't successful either. When I reinstalled it still had details of my accounts so clearly the cofig files were not removed properly.
When I first started to install Ubuntu to my system, I got an error that told me Ubuntu was not successfully installed, so I restarted my computer and tried again. That time it works, and I'm thoroughly enjoying the OS. I noticed that when I start up my computer and I have the OS boot list, Ubuntu and Ubuntu safe mode are listed twice. How do I remove the 2nd one, and is it still installed on my other partition even though it said failed?
I have a problem with my built-in microphone in ubuntu 10.04, its not listed in mixers like other notebooks that have anologue microphone 1 / 2, I have only Analogue microphone (that works only with external mic), analogue line-in and analogue input. Also I updated Alsa drivers to 1.0.23, but nothing changed.why my built-in microphone is not listed by mixer, is not view at all?

what exactly is SSH Agent as listed in Startup Applications? And can I safely disable it? I've read around a bit and get the impression is has to do with others connecting to my machine/network which is not an issue for me as I'm the only user, but I'm not clear.

Launching Ubuntu 10.10 (guest OS) from Windows 7 (host OS) using Virtual Box 4.0
In the host OS (Windows 7), i have enabled USB Device Filter for Samsung_Android, and i could see that device in Ubuntu 10.10, but when i use 'lsusb', it doesn't list the samsung device.
After having problems with grub2 and windows seven and being forced to reinstall both windows and Lubuntu, I got grub to work. So after some hours of work, everything is working fine. Today, I was trying to use windows again and windows is no longer listed on grub. What can I do to keep it permanently on the list?
