Ubuntu :: Empathy Not Interacting With Evolution Envelope Icon Thingy?

Apr 22, 2010

When I got Ubuntu 10.04 beta the first thing I did was to uninstall Empathy as it was crashing a lot and I was used to some other application.Currently I want to use Empathy and reinstalled it.My problem is that instead of chat conversations "merge" with the evolution envelope icon Empathy seems to have it's own static icon. It's annoying because the icon is the same "green orb" whether I have a new message or not. The problem is not the version (2.30.0.1) as a personal friend has the same version and has it working fine.I already searched google and forums and tried re-installing empathy, indicator-applet, indicator-messages or evolution-indicator, cleaning cache and all.

Ubuntu :: Community Plasmoid Thingy Is Broken On 64-bit Kubuntu 11.04 Syste

Jun 9, 2011

The Community plasmoid widget thingy is broken on my 64-bit Kubuntu 11.04 system. The last time it worked was sometime in the 10.04 era. I will gratefully receive any suggestions for fixing it.The symptoms are these: It opens with three tabs: Nearby, Friends, Messages. I expect this.There are no entries in the "Nearby" tab. When I log into opendesktop.org w/Firefox, I can see about a dozen people nearby in my town.When I click on the configuration button, it shows me my username and obscured password for opendesktop.org.When I click on the widget again, it there are more tabs! "Friends" and "Messages" are repeated twice each, giving me seven tabs: Nearby, Friends, Messages, Friends, Messages, Friends, Messages.When I click on the configuration button again, the username and password fields are empty.

Fedora :: Missing Root Privilege Key Thingy

Apr 8, 2011

When I started using Fedora (with Gnome) a week ago, I noticed a key symbol in the system tray, or however you call that in the linux world ;-). I can't remember what it was called, but it appeared after I loaded a program or administrative function that required root privileges. If I understand correctly there's a certain timeout after you put in the root password that allows you to run more than one program with elevated privileges so you don't have to put in the root password all the time. I remember reading somewhere that you can change that timeout. This key symbol basically was a "screw the timeout, i'm done being root".

This key symbol doesn't appear anymore though and I'd really like it back.
I'm pretty sure, I didn't do anything to make it go away, as I didn't play around with any security settings.

It was a little tricky to search for this as I can't recall the actual name of this... key thingy..

OpenSUSE :: Downgrade That Xorg-X11-driver-video Thingy?

Jul 2, 2010

I'm running OpenSuse 11.2 KDE 3 Initially FireFox was absolutely fine, But recently It became utterly slow. I searched plenty of forums and tweaked the about:config and played around with ipv6. Some threads suggested downgrading some x-video thingy coz of an update sadly I haven't got a clue how to downgrade, in addition all these threads were talking about rather old OpenSuse versions. I installed the newest Nvidia driver as some suggested it might have to do with the desktop effects, actually I just turned them off (literally just this moment) and FF ran utterly quick, hmm I would like to keep em though. Does this mean i need to downgrade that xorg-X11-driver-video thingy? I don't seem to have a downgrade option I can only update delete and so on...When clicking on versions it doesn't show any of the 7.3 only 7.4s. I kind of depend on some firefox plug-ins which is why I would rather not use another browser..

OpenSUSE :: Kde Screen Edge Thingy Once For Firefox With Another Application

Jun 9, 2011

so have used the kde screen edge thingy once for Firefox with another application, but now every time that i launch Firefox it uses the half window option and have to maximise it every time. Is there any way to tell KDE that I wish to use maximised screen every time that Firefox launches.

Have tried putting Firefox window to middle so screen edge would maximise window, then close Firefox that it would save that setting, but not listening. Does it maybe have something to do with Kwin?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sony FP - No Display But Desktop Accessible Via Remote Desktop?

Mar 18, 2010

I'm working on getting my myth box hooked up to my Sony flat panel display.Originally the nvidia drivers could not read the EID, so defaulted to only 640x480 over my HDMI-DVI connection.I manually updated xorg.conf with a mode for the resolution I know the thing can handle. Suddenly there are several resolutions avaialble in nvidia-settings and it seems to be communicating with the TV, as it is now listed as a Sony FP display rather than a CRT.I'm able to change the resolution now as expected.my problem, however, lies with the TV itself. I can't seem to get it to actually display the output. I'm able to remote desktop into the box and can see Gnome logged in and everything.However nothing on the TV itself.How do I troubleshoot this? Am I missing something obvious?

Ubuntu Installation :: Make A Live-USB Containing Among Others Both Desktop I386 And Desktop AMD64

May 1, 2010

I want to make a live-USB containing among others both Ubuntu desktop i386 and Ubuntu desktop AMD64. How do I go about this? I tried using unetbootin, first adding i386 and then amd64, but that failed. My computer with an athlon II did manage to boot, and showed it had booted into the 64-bit version (ram shown was 3.9 GB, i386 goes to about 2.7 I think), my wife's computer with a pentium 4 did not manage to boot, got to a black screen. I think this is because casper has issues, being overwritten (I'd seen something to that effect somewhere), and thus only the latest version added being booted (in this case amd 64).

I'm under the impression that the startup disc creator included won't help, nor won't the multicd.sh script, so how do I circumvent the issues?

Ubuntu :: Possible To Instead Of Using Desktop Folder Plasmoid / Usual Desktop Act As File Manager?

Nov 12, 2010

1. Is it possible to instead of using the Desktop Folder plasmoid, have a usual Desktop act as a file manager?
2. What is Akondi? There are tons of processes which have Akonadi in their name, and it seems to be using up lots of memory.Can I disable these somehow, or is it safe to do so?
3. Any general tips on how to reduce the amount ram that is used on startup? I am using somewhere around 750MB on startup, which is about double the amount Gnome uses. After a few hours of use, Xorg uses close to 1GB of memory.
4. Whenever I get a notification, they don't delete themselves, so when I click on the (i), I see tons of notifications. Is there a way to get them to delete themselves after they have been shown?

But, I cannot ping the XP box from the Ubuntu box, and Remote Desktop Viewer won't establish a connection to the VNC server I have running on the XP box.

Ubuntu :: Light Desktop - Install Desktop Command Only + Xfce?

Jul 19, 2010

Looking for a light desktop for a P3/512MB I installed xubuntu and I felt it slow. For a test, just tried installing lubuntu and it was so fast compared to xubuntu. The word here is I would like to move to xfce. Doing another test, I installed Debian Lenny + xfce and was way much faster than xubuntu.

My question: Can I install Ubuntu Desktop command only + xfce ? Is it going to be faster than xubuntu? Is there another recommendation for a debian based distro with xfce which runs faster than xubuntu?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Doesn't Correspond To /home/user/Desktop?

Sep 25, 2010

While I was trying to drag the Desktop icon to the places sidepane in nautilus file browser so that I can have it above Documents icon, I accidentally dropped it in Documents icon. I immediately deleted the "Desktop" shortcut that was created in "/home/user/Documents" but it was too late already and the damage has been done. When I try to create a new document on my desktop, it says "Error while coying to Desktop There was an error getting information about the destination. Show more details Error stating file '/home/user/Documents/' Desktop':No such file or directory" Now, I know that my desktop now is pointing me to a location in Documents folder which doesn't exist at all. I tried looking for any available settings/options in gconf-editor, but only in vain.

Ubuntu :: Can't Remotely Access Desktop / When Desktop Is Asking For Keyring Password

Nov 20, 2010

I can't remotely access my desktop when the desktop is asking for a keyring password. Why does this happen? it means that remote access is useless because you would need to enter the password locally before you can vnc to it. I do not wish to disable the default keyring but is there a way of making vnc work so I can enter the password.

Ubuntu :: Don't Have A Desktop Anymore - Boot Into A Full-featured Desktop?

May 2, 2011

I guess I messed around with Unity on Ubuntu 11 a bit too much without knowing too much about it. Here's what's been happening: I chose the 'cube' setting in CCSM, but after switching to it, Unity crashed. So I rebooted and X11 started, but no Unity. Which means no window borders or anything.

how I could set it up again? I disabled the login-screen, as I'm the only user, so I guess I have no chance to simply choose Gnome for example to boot into a full-featured desktop.

Ubuntu :: Remote Desktop Without Opening New Desktop Session

Nov 25, 2010

I am using 2 PCs, both running ubuntu. I want to connect via remote desktop (vnc, ssh -X, etc) form one to the other. However, what the solutions I found until now offer me, is the possibility to create a new desktop session and view that one (or run an application an view that one). I have an application running on the server, and I want to see that application, without needing to restart it or running it again in a new desktop. Is this possible?

Ubuntu :: Desktop Locks Up When Try To Change Desktop Background?

Jan 4, 2011

After installing gnome-color-chooser for Ubuntu 10.10, I followed all the steps to enable transparent gnome menu. When I logged out and logged back into my user, the gnome panel menu was transparent as It should be however, the desktop background changed color and I cannot change the desktop by right clicking the desktop. If I do right click and try to, the entire desktop and all programs freeze. The mouse works but that is it. Whenever I try to open gnome-color-chooser, I get this error message : ERROR Could not open or create file /home/User/.gtkrc-2.0-gnome-color-chooser. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both gnome color chooser and gnome panel with no luck.

Ubuntu :: Minimal Desktop Install And Remote Desktop

Apr 8, 2011

I am trying to setup my HTPC. I wanted to have the most minimal overhead possible so I installed Ubuntu 10.10 server from the mini.iso and just added the ssh option. I then used the following command to give me a desktop environment because I will want to run firefox and it apparently requires this to run.

Here is the command that I ran:apt-get install xorg gnome-core gdm gnome-applets gnome-system-tools gnome-utils ubuntu-artwork compiz-gnome firefox sysv-rc-conf.The desktop works fine and I can open fire fox, however, the remote desktop is missing from the preferences menu.How can I install this? I would like to add the remote desktop option from a command line.
