After installing latest version of dockbarx(0.41) today my cursor pointer automatically captures the links in browser and other icons on my desktop and performs automatic closing or opening window. I want to disable that features. How to do that?
I am trying to add a launcher for Guayadeque music player on my DockbarX, so I clicked on the icon of the running application (RMB) and chose the 'Create new activator' option. It does not work at all, creates no launcher. What am I doing wrong?
The touchpad on my laptop being ultra-sensitive, I like to use the Pointer Capture applet in the mousetweaks package when typing. I've tried adding this to the taskbar in XFCE but get a message that "Assistive Technology Support is not enabled."
When I enable it, log out and back in, however, there is still no luck. The larger question is: Can this Gnome package be used in XFCE?
Edit: Pointer Capture works fine in Gnome but I would like to use it in XFCE.
how to permanently disable the 'Pointer can be controlled using the keypad' accessibility function?There was a post about it on launchpad, that I used before and since updating to 9.10 I can't find it.It may be a Gnome bug, and its getting very irritating - maybe 10 - 12 times a day...
I'm using Ubuntu on my Lenovo laptop which has a pointer mouse and trackpadt looks exactly like this:How do I disable just the trackpad, but not the red pointer mouse or the buttons above/below the trackpad.I did do a search and found a file I can download, but isn't there a keystroke or something built into Ubuntu that would avoid me having to download a third party solution.
I have been googling trying to fix this ... basicly I have a (int **) variable, and when I try to pass a (int) value to a specific position, I have seg.fault.Resuming what I have is:
I've been using AWN for awhile but with the latest news surrounding dockbarx I'd like to return to gnome-panel. Unfortunately certain applets like time and session control look terrible when the panel is to the right (you have to read the text vertically). Does gnome-panel have any icon based appllets for time and session control? much like awn?
I installed DockBarX via the PPA on OMG Ubuntu. However, when following instructions, the only thing I can access is the preferences for the app, and not the app itself. What's up with that?
I edit a lot of stuff using GIMP, and tend to have about six windows open at once and I switch between them constantly, but I use dockbarx as my window list and it always groups windows making it harder to choose which window I need, So my question is, Is it possible to stop dockbarx from grouping windows? I looked through the settings in the preferences window, but I couldn't see a setting, I was thinking that I could achieve it by editing some sort of config file, except I don't know how.
Show previews is checked. compiz settings: KDE Compatibility and Plasma thumbnails are checked output when running in window:

Edit: In all the threads about it, the selection Extras>Window Previews wasn't required. Selecting this under compiz-settings-manager worked for me.
I decided to try DockbarX in XFCE to see how it worked compared to Talika. It runs a bit smoother, and looks a lot better, the only problem is, I can't pin any open programs to my dock. If I click "pin application" and then close the window, the icon disappears as if I never pinned it. This has happened with every program I've tried. I've also tried running it as a stand-alone dock, and while I can pin programs that way, the dock itself likes to move around on its own. I am using the version from the WebUpd8 repos, which is version 0.46.
I thought for a second that maybe it was because i had added the unity ppa to the repository but i removed that and i still have no more dockbarx in the awn applets. i can add the applet but it won't appear in my AWN which is a shame because i was really liking the thumbnail window previews.
I just installed dockbarx and had an error. It says that the package is broken. When I start Ubuntu Software Center i get a message that i have to repair the package catalog. When i go to the terminal and execute the "apt-get -f install" i get this error:
So, Dockbarx leaves icon almost always, as I close any window, it disappear only if I move the cursor over it. Does anyone know how to fix this? Here's a link to demonstrate it, [URL]I have ubuntu 11.04
NOTE! To use previews you need to activate KDE Compability in compiz settings manager and under KDE Compability check "Support Plasma Thumbnails". (Alternatively you can use kwin as window manager instead of compiz. That will give you previews for minimized windows as well.)
How is this done? I have CompizConfig Settings Manager and I can't find kde anywhere.
how come blinking effect on dockbarx when someone messages you on emesene doesn't work with awn (installed in ubuntu 10.04)? but on my 10.10 laptop it works nicely. Any workarounds?
I tried out DockBarx on my previous Ubuntu computer and really liked it. I installed openSUSE not too long ago and I just decided it's about time to get it back! However, I'm having some trouble installing it. My initial attempt was to simply download the tarball of dockbarx from GNOME-Look, untar it and run setup.py. Unfortunately, it will not run for me..not as root, standard user, anything. I do have Python-Base installed, and my "cnf python" does return a successful response. My PATH has /python's location in it and everything.I then tried the .rpm but I need to install python-keybinder, pyxdg and dbus, but I cannot find any downloads or repo's with it. I could simply be missing it though. So, basically, I'm asking all of you who have successfully installed it on your openSUSE system to inform me on how you did it.
Ubuntu 10.04 fresh install on eee 900. I had previously tried Cairo-Dock and AWN (successfully but I like that DockbarX is integrated into the panel) I installed Dockbarx like so:
Then I uninstalled Cairo and AWN with Synaptic.I got a notification of an error in the panel saying I had broken packages - see broken package filter to check it out.I can't find filters in Synaptic.Then I noticed DockbarX was empty (and I had pinned Firefox to it) So I tried uninstalling and reinstalling via terminal. No problems with that but when added it to the panel again it was still empty . I rebooted several times during these attempts.

I am using Debian Jessie x64 with XFCE 4.10: Code: Select allnickolay@nickolay-pc:~$ uname -a Linux nickolay-pc 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt9-2 (2015-04-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
And am having a problem with dockbarx.
Whenever I try to launch it as a regular user, I get:
I few weeks ago DockbarX upgraded tyo 0.43, and since then it hasn't worked at all; not just no window previews, but no icons for open applications - absolutely nothing. This also applies when there's an applet in a panel, not just AWN. I've been through the forums, tried going into Compiz Settings and unchecking, then rechecking KDE Compatibility etc, but it does nothing. Edot - installed awn-applet-dockbarx and gnome-dockbarx-applet from Synaptic but it doesn't help.
I have Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome. Whenever I put in a blank CD/DVD an icon on the desktop appears named "Blank CD/DVD" and a window appears asking me what I want to do with it. How do I disable the window and the icon from the desktop?
i've just installed a fresh copy of 10.04 on my laptop, and, with the default "ambiance" theme, i can't change the pointer to dmz-black: i click on it to select it, but it stays white, even after rebooting and stuff.
Is there any equivalent for Linux to the "Edgeless" software for Windows that lets the mouse pointer wrap around from one screen edge to the opposite edge? That is, if you move the pointer off the screen to the right, it comes back in on the left side.
i have many mouse pointers in the .ico also .ani and .cur format from my old windows days SEE image attached would also like to make new ones and really want to turn them into a format which works on ubuntu since the choice of pointers is only 6 i found a way to install X11 cursors from gnome-look.org download then save to .icons in the hidden part (control H) of my home folder then go system/preference/appearance/customize/pointers
but even then you have to install a whole lot of files to change one pointer and i see no way of making/installing my own is there a more straightforward way? ubuntu/linux are about freedom and here i am at the moment very restricted
I've just upgraded a Compaq D510 from 9.10 to 10.04.During upgrade I got a message:-Code: Missing Resources.The NetworkManager Applet could not find some required resources.It cannot continue.However it did continue, and the system seems to work OK except the mouse pointer is invisible.I can use <ctrl> to highlight where it is, and I can click on menus and run apps.If I VNC in from another machine I can see the mouse pointer on the remote screen.With at least one Theme/Icon/Pointer configuration combination I can get the pointer to appear after boot, but only by launching either Firefox or Gimp.
I'm trying to make my mouse invisible permanently ,i tried to make a custom mouse cursor with lot of tutorials ,but it did not worked for me ,i tried to delete completely but i can not find how , to disable completely Mouse Cursor on X11 that would be great (not using unclutter)
