Ubuntu :: Kde4: Xterms Start In Documents?
Sep 5, 2010
I'm using KDE because it allows me to customize my window management more than Gnome. I come from a background of TWM, CTWM, and then the various KDE versions.I recently upgraded my main desktop from hardy to lucid, and kde4 is a bit strange to me. First, my session-managed xterms seem to start with a $PWD=$HOME/Documents when I login. I really want them to start in $HOME. Where can I adjust this? I've managed to figure out how to get rid of this nonsense in quicklaunch, but I don't know where session managed xterms are started from.
I also have one of these silly 16:9 monitors, so I have a lot more horizontal space to waste on icon managers than vertical space, so I like to put my panel on the left edge of the screen. Is there any way to make the taskmanager use the text from a window's titlebar rather than the icon? I've looked at a few replacement taskmanagers, and none seem to give as much information when run vertically as the kde3.5 taskmanager did.

I worte somewhere in time here about this, but I cant find it.. I have a problem, when starting KDE, it begins to start applications, usually the ones that were open (thanks God)... however, order is a bit screwed... It opens Skype, KTorrent, Kopete, Sound, Keyboard and finally, NetworkManager...I would like to put Network to be ran 1st.

My KDE4 stopped booting after installing the last (11.7) ATI driver and uninstalling it later (display turned off at all while booting).
I get a login screen, though. When I enter my password and press ENTER, it tries to start but returns to the login screen in a couple of seconds. Here's a snippet from kdm.log:
X.Org X Server 1.8.0
Release Date: 2010-04-02
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

I did a clean install, and so far I haven't noticed any serious problems with KDE4, although I can't find what I'm looking for, usually. I don't use my laptop much though. I also did a clean install on another system to 13.0 about the same time. X won't start on that system, it can't figure out the hardware I guess.
So I've just been using the command line. I don't really need a graphical interface on that system anyway. Right now I'm using the motherboard graphics support, but I will probably install a video card in a PCI-E slot and try X again. The system that I just upgraded from 12.2 (LUKS encrypted volumes and LVM) to 13.0 tonight has a number of problems. This was an upgrade, not a clean install. Based on my experience so far on this system, KDE4 does not seem to be ready for prime time. It is buggy, the menu system is more difficult to navigate than KDE3, and there are some apps I just can't find (e.g., Kedit). Overall it seems to have fewer apps than KDE3. Either that or they are well hidden well enough that I can't find them. My first impression was that KDE4 had clean lines and a modern appearance.......

I switched to fedora to learn. I also purchased several vps (virtual private servers) so I could hack away and not destroy my pc. well I would like to do the following...let me call one server A and the other server B
Put to terminals on my top panel. when I click on A I will automatically via ssh be taken to the server A online and when I click on B (the second xterm icon) I would like to be taken to vps B. Ideally I would also like to bypass my password and just go in a root to both as again these are just things I got to learn on.. I don't know where to start but it sure seems like something that would be possible. Of course I don't care if I am clicking on the terminal icon or a program that just launches the appropriate terminal..

I am completely fed up trying to do it. I had no problems with 11.0. It refuses to start up during boot like tor. I added tor to the kde start menu and it works just fine after boot. Privoxy refuses to start up during boot. I have to go into SU mode in terminal, then it works. I need to be able to start Privoxy the same way. I tried everything from chown / chmod commands, and it made no difference. I have it set for 777, and my name along with root. I also added the group privoxy to my user ID. I need the computer to disregard that it is a root program.

I am using Kde 4.4 and I would like to start one of the applications automatically after every login to the system. How can I configure it? I remember I managed to find a dialog window in one of the previous versions, but I can't find it now.

If I ssh to a remote machine and then lose internet connectivity, the session freezes. I can't control-c or otherwise abort and go back to my local xterm or terminal prompt but if I wait several minutes it will do so.
There must be some way to force it to abort the remote ssh session when connectivity is lost. I'm on a Mac but I believe this happens on cygwin or linux as well.

I can access my windows my documentsmusic by mounting my windows drive and browsing to it. I can then playwatch my movies and pics in Ubuntu.But what I really want to be able to do is re-map the Ubunbu docs folder like so:
Ubuntu Pics = Windows My Documents pics.
Ubuntu Videos = Windows My Documents Videos.
I'm not very unix savy so I've been using Ubuntu tweak PersonalDefault Folder Locations setting and browsing to my Windows folders. But it doesn't work.I have managed to make a desktop 'short cut' and that works but I'd rather set the system wide default document folders.

How can I change the mountpoint of my partition /media/documents to /documents.This is a partition of sdb and a fixed disk.The reason is that /media/ sometimes creates ghostdirectories while /Windows/C never does so, programmes writing/reading from this partition therfore don't work if a ghostdir_ exists.(BTW Suse is on sdb5 and sdb6. on sda is windows and used to be Ubuntu, the Suse-swap is sda5. Windows is out of use.)

I have installed Jaunty on my laptop. I have a dual boot with Windows 7 and I've set up access to my windows partition. I can read and write to the music and photos directories but I can't write anything to My Documents in the windows file system. I have tried in Gnome and from a terminal and checked that I have write permissions set correctly.
For example in the My Documents directory:
Code:
$ mkdir test
mkdir: cannot create directory `test': Operation not supported
I get the same message if I try to rename My Documents using either mv in the terminal or the Rename option in gnome.

I was trying to install Ubuntu on a USB stick. Here is my problem. So I went to the ubuntu site and downloaded Ubuntu. Now I have the .iso file on my computer but if I click on it, it asks me to burn but I want to save it on a USB stick. I did that with Universal USB-Installer. It goes smooth but when its finished its not the .iso file thats in it but just some documents and stuff... How do I get the .iso ? ( I want to use it with VirtualBox but you need the .iso for that...)

So my windows 7 partition got all messed up. Fortunately I have a working Ubuntu partition so I mounted the windows partition in Ubuntu and went in to pull my files over to linux so I could wipe the windows partition and reinstall windows 7. Everything is going great until I try to get into my documents.
I go into documents and settings so I can get at said files and it's empty. I figure it's a security issue so I try to alter the security settings and of course it doesn't let me. At this point I realize "crap my windows user account has a password on it".
So to the point at hand, is there any way to mount the windows partition and get around the windows login so I can get at the secured files (and copy them to the ubuntu partition)?

I reinstalled 9.10 yesterday and put the home folder on its own partition. Now it has my home folder as owned by me but all the files in it including Documents are owned by root. I did tell it to change ownership on enclosed files with no luck. So I can't paste my backup files into the Documents folder. I can do GKsudo nautilus but it times out every 15 minutes and I have to restart copying the 67GB of files constantly.

So I just realized that I am not allowed to access my documents folder which I backed up but I get an error saying I do not have permission or something along those lines. I remember a while back that there was something I could do along the lines of changing my ubuntu user and group and that would make the mac folder think that I am the owner of it. How do i do this and will this work?

I have just upgraded from Jaunty to Karmic. Mostly it's gone okay; a few things broke but I can fix most of them. One thing I can't figure out, though: 'lpr' stopped working properly. Printing via a GUI (i.e.: using the "print" option from an application) works fine. Printing to CUPS-PDF works fine. But printing via the command line (ie: lpr myFile.txt) doesn't work. It consistently cuts off the first line of text. For what it's worth I have a Dell Inspiron connected wirelessly to an HP OfficeJet J6480. HPLIP is installed and working fine.

I just need to view the documents, editing is no required. A OneNote (*.one) to *.pdf converter will do just fine, but I couldn't find one. Why do I need to open MS OneNote files? A friend is taking notes in class with a touchscreen laptop (Windows 7, MS Office 2007) and I can't really complain about his choice of software when he's being nice and sharing his notes.

I have somehow 'disappeared' my Documents folder.I was working on an Open Office document, when I chose "File/Save As" this is the very unwelcome message that came up:/home/ray/documents does not exist. Looking in Places, sure enough it is gone! Looking in Trash the newest file / folder is April 17. Today is April 26.How I may have done this?I guess I'll find out how good my backups are..I need to hit the road for the rest of the day and may not see your responses until tomorrow.Ubuntu 10.10 on a Lenovo R61iEdit:Well, now I've really embarrassed myself. I did find the contents of /home/ray/documents. I'll have to put it down to 'mouse tripping' Earlier I had needed to empty out a USB drive so I could use it this afternoon.
1 - Using Nautilus I created a folder in /home/ray/documents called called "8G holder" to hold the contents of the 8GiB USB drive for the evening.2 - The new folder did not appear to be created, so I did it again.Moved all of the USB contents over, wiped the USB drive and set it aside for use.It now seems that through mouse tripping I some how renamed documents, to "8G holder", created a second folder named "8G holder" in the first one.So now my question is much simpler. It is OK to rename the top "8G holder" to "Documents" and expect all to return to normal?Given that Linux is case sensitive should the name be "documents" or "Documents" ?
