Ubuntu :: Change Position For The Notifications?
May 2, 2010How can I change the positions for the notifications? It is at a weired place after installing 10.4 and I need to move it. I have been googling about it and it seems like the position is hard coded in the source code, can this really be true? If it is, I am starting to question my decision to use Ubuntu. How can i serous skilled developer hard code something like that in the source code? Can I trust the developer to know what he is doing?
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Screen Position A Few Pixels Off?
Oct 24, 2010In 10.04 on a Shuttle the screen position is a few pixels off. I fix this with xvidtune for the session. I also get a new modeline. I build a new xorg.conf file (go virtual terminal, stop gdm, Xorg -configure, etc) and move it to /etc/X11. I introduce the modeline in the monitor section and reboot (I could do a service gdm stop...). Guess what, my screen is still a few pixels off. The documentation clearly states that if there is an Xorg.conf, it will be used. So what gives?
This problem has existed since the xorg.conf file was dropped. It is just plain silly that one has to engage in a geeky treasure hunt to correct a few pixels. This adjustment should be present in the System/Preferences/Montors. This is why Linux does not make it with ordinary users, making (superficially) simple things difficult.
Ubuntu :: Change GDM Greeter Position In 11.04
Jul 27, 2011I have a dual monitor setup using TwinView running an up-to-date Ubuntu 11.04 amd64. The GDM (login) greeter is displayed in the center of the screen, and thus, one half of the greeter is on the left monitor and the other half is on the right monitor. I've been trying to find away to move the greeter to only one monitor. I've searched Google and the forums for an answer.
Here's what I've tried:
1) gmdsetup => does not have an option to position the greeter
2) gconf-editor => does not have an option to position the greeter
3) ubuntu-tweak => does not have an option to position the greeter
4) Tried these settings in
/etc/gdm/custom.conf, /etc/gdm/gdm.conf,
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom, /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf:
Code:
[greeter]
SetPosition=true
PositionX=200
PositionY=300
5) Mucked around with
/usr/share/gconf/schemas/gdm-simple-greeter.schemas ,
/usr/share/gdm/gdm-greeter-login-window.ui,
/var/lib/dpkg/info/gdm.conffiles

Mar 16, 2011For the last year I was using the version of Firefox that came with 32-bit Karmic Koala. Recently I installed 64-bit Maverick. Meerkat, so I'm now using Firefox 3.6.10. Previously, when first opening Firefox, the window aligned to the left edge of the screen. Now it is centered. The window dimensions are correctly retained between sessions, but not the position. Can I get it to open at the left again?

Feb 25, 2010In X windows, for both a window you're opening in a terminal at the time, and for one that's already open, how can you set the window to a precise location? That is, is there a parameter you can add to the command of opening a program to set the window to a specific location, say pixel 30x30? Likewise, is there a way to set the position of a window that's already open to a specific location?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu / Apple :: Adjusting Screen Position With Xrandr?
Apr 9, 2010I am running a dual boot conifg with OSX and Ubuntu PPC (karmic) on a 2004 G5 and everything is working pretty well - very well actually. The last thing I am trying to adjust is such a simple thing, but I just can't seem to get it. In Ubuntu, the screen position is shifted to the right, covering the scroll bar of windows and the trash can.
No problem, just use xvidtune, adjust the screen as I want and create a custom modeline right? Well, it does not seem to work.Here is what I did:Using xrandr I created a --newmode and then used --addmode to add it to the output I am using (default):
Code:
mieren@G5-Ubuntu:~$ xrandr --output default --newmode 1680x1050_new 146.25 1680 1820 1996 2268 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
mieren@G5-Ubuntu:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050
[code]....
Notice how the new mode now lacks the rest of the config information specified in the --newmode above, not sure if this is normal.I can change to the new mode, and the resolution is correct, but the screen is still not adjusted. There is no difference switching between the 1680x1050 and the 1680x1050_new modes - the screen may flash, but the position does not change.
(I also tried adding a mode line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf screen section, but it also has no effect. Actually, there was no xorg.conf existing at all, so I created a minimal one.)It is really annoying to have to adjust the screen position using the monitor controls on every reboot.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Multimedia :: Getting Ffmpeg Time Position Rounding?
May 16, 2010I've written a bash script that extracts the audio out of a movie file and saves it out in separate .wav files using ffmpeg. Here is the key ffmpeg command:
Code:
ffmpeg -i $movie_file -vn -ss $start_time -t $duration ${file_name}_${counter}.wav
$start_time and $duration are floating point numbers that contain time information in the form of seconds and milliseconds (ss.xxx). It is important that I am able to control the time down to the millisecond.
My script works exactly as hoped on .avi files. My script needs to work on an existing archive of .mov files. when I try to use it on a .mov, the audio files created always have start times and durations that have been rounded up to the nearest half-second. This breaks up the audio in the wrong spots, and creates files that last too long and have too much extra audio. What can I do to make my ffmpeg command create .wav files from .mov files that properly recognize a specific number of milliseconds? Or, asked another way, how can I eliminate the rounding behavior?

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: USB Digital Camera Static Mount Position
Dec 14, 2010I have digital camera (Canon EOS 550d) which I connect to my computer using a USB cable. I can see that the camera file system is mounted under "~/.gvfs/gphoto2-XYZ" where XYZ seems to be a dynamic device dependent string that changes every time I connect the camera.The thing is: I need the mount position ALWAYS to stay the same, so my photo management program (Bibble) knows where to download the images from.I am not sure how to do this, but I guess there must be a way to configure GVFS/FUSE or whatever is responsible for mounting the camera to use a fixed mount point (like /media/camera or something).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Any Music Players That Remember Last Position?
Feb 17, 2011One of the things I love most about SMPlayer is that it will pick up from the same spot at which the file was closed previously i.e. if I watched 20 minutes of a movie then had to go out, when I open up the file again it starts right at 20 minutes. I was wondering if anyone knew of any music player programs that do the same thing, I mostly listen to audiobooks so that feature would come in very handy. Currently I am using Rhythmbox.

May 23, 2010Getting tired of gnome, I decided to switch to kde4. I finally understand how it works (the idea of plasmoids), but I'm having some pretty irritating issues with them.
Whenever I try to move my plasmoids to another part of the screen, or even try to resize them, they immediately snap back to their original position / size.
My first thought was a permission error on my ~/.kde directory, but a quick chown/chmod indicated this is not the case.
