Ubuntu :: Messed Up Task Bar
Jul 30, 2010
I don't know what I have done this time, but on my desktop I have the cube effect, which is working fine. But now when I minimize a page it goes to the opposite end of the taskbar instead of to the workspaces I have.Using Ubuntu 10.04. Not sure if I have explained this properly. Also when I flip the cube to a clean desktop and open a new browser, it doesn't open on that side of cube , but reverts to original workspace and opens in a new tab there.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 with VMware Workstation 6.5.0. The install went fine and I ran the updates and everything was working great. Then I decided to change the resolution to something a little larger that was actually workable and after a restart my taskbars were all messed up. I deleted that machine and then opened up the backup. I changed the resolution again and after a restart, same result. I've tried it with multiple resolutions with different aspect ratios all with the same results. I've included a link below with a screen shot of the desktop so you can see what it's doing. Now, it's not unusable but distracting to me nonetheless.

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04 all of a sudden, the task manager or task bar, keeps changing length. The individual window "buttons" themselves keep changing size - flashing even, and the space between them also changes. It is driving me nuts! The little system tray(?) icons no longer appear in the system tray, but all stacked on top of each other in the top left corner.

I have my task list in evolution (mainly so it can sync with my phone and online task list) but I always forget to look at the task list. Is there an application or plugin which periodically displays the contents of the tasklist or even better, it briefly displays the most urgent/important tasks when I login? Or anything else which automatically displays the most important tasks. Currently I have to open the task list and look at them (which I usually forget). I do not mean some kind of alarm when the task is due but more a daily reminder of what to do.

I wanted to try out the new Ubuntu Light theme that is coming up in 10.10 and I didn't like it because my notification area didn't match the top panel, so I restarted the top panel and my notification area was not there. So I changed back to Elementary and it still wasn't there. Then I tried restarting the gnome-panel again and my name wasn't there. >.< Can anyone help me on how to get it back?

Decided to try Meerkat. Looks great from the USB. With Lucid installed on Dell Optiplex with Windows XP - worked out ok.Installed Maverick Meerkat from USB and now no OS at all. I only get a prompt to re-try booting or to enter set-up.I installed Meerkat to the existing Lucid partitions, a / and /home partition, but I'm not even getting as far as grub-menu at boot.In the first attempt the installer installed grub to sda, (the hdd), and that didn't work, so I tried re-installing with a separate /boot, (sda7), partition, and still no love.
One of the problems is that on the Dell there is a /dell utility partition at the beginning of the disk, so I can't really move that to put a /boot partition at the beginning.Oddly, Lucid had no such problem. Lucid installed and recognised Windows XP, but when I try the same install procedure with Meerkat I draw a blank.

I messed up with my Firefox installation so that I could install a newer version. But when I downloaded from Mozilla it was plain tarball with nothing but a bunch of binary files in it. How do I reinstall Firefox to the exact previous state from repos? And what if I don't wanna install that old 3.0 but the newer version?

I'm not sure why this is so difficult. I decided to upgrade to 10.04 from 9.04 after an update messed up my graphics and I had to get some work done rather then sift threw a mound of sparsely detailed possibilities. Also I'm not an leet coder.
So really I've installed 10.04 on many machine's with many different video card's and many different monitors. But to some magnificently obscure reason I'm unable to set the correct resolution on any single computer. Ati, Nvidia. Not intel on second though.
I've managed to scrounge up some tidbits of info on the new KMS (kernel-mode-setting) technology. I've run threw a few suggestions threw out the forums and across the net. I've tried al sorts of drivers. I've tried removing the xorg.conf but I've seen little info on why that is other then it is not needed. I've added things to /etc/default/grub, I've removed things. I've gone threw synaptic and removed everything Nvidia and reinstalled it. This by the way is always off a fresh install every time.
So here it is. I'm at the end of my rope. I know this must be some new way of doing things but It just seems odd that every computer I've tried has failed me. I need the correct resolution to work. I can't keep burning the eye's out of my head looking for possible solutions on crappy resolutions.
I'm sorry for the rant. I'm frustrated and seriously considering switching to Redhat despite having to pay for there service's. Could anyone shed some light on my gloomy situation. I want to keep promoting Ubuntu with out saying "if you can get such and such working"

My hard drive was a bit of a mess, too many partitions, so I tried to clean it up and have messed up the MBR. When I boot it up now it can't find anything, because (I believe) I deleted GRUB.
Here is the layout
/dev/sda1 fat 32 Windows Recovery
/dev/sda2 ntfs Windows
/dev/sda3
/dev/sda5 ext4 was formerly a working Ubuntu 10.04 install
[Code]...

I have an ATI Radeon 5730 HD graphics card. I know the open source drivers for ATI cards do not do well with the Plymouth splash. So now I am having a text based splash and a really horrible tty resolution. A few months back, I was running Lucid on a Laptop with nVidia card. I had the same problem then and I posted in Ubuntu forums and was directed to a page where some method was given to fix up the issue. I don't remember exactly but it had something to do with grub, probably explicitly telling it the graphics card parameters and forcing it to load graphical splash.
However, shortly after that I installed Maverick on the same laptop and tried to hack it with the same method... It didn't work with Maverick and my system refused to boot and kept going dark right after the grub menu. I posted in Ubuntu but the reply was a little bit late and I had to sell my laptop.
Then I bought a new one, with the mentioned ATI card... Now I have the same problem and I want to fix it but I don't want to try that method which caused me trouble last time. I know it doesn't work with Maverick and I don't wanna go there. But I am sure a workaround exists. I googled it and found the same old thread which I am weary of. Does anyone know of such a method which works with both ATI and Maverick?

Somehow my language/locale setting has gotten messed up, and I don't know how to fix it. Several applications complain with a message like: "No matching locale found for 'C'."
The contents of /etc/default/locale is code...
How can I fix this?

For some odd reason when I logged into Ubuntu Lucid Lynx today, Caro dock is all messed up and the close, minimize, etc buttons are on the left on all of the windows.Yesterday all was fine. The buttons were on the right side and cairo dock was fine.Now, it is all messed up. I even brought the compiz icon up and clicked reload WM and that did not even fix it.

How to get my desktop back to normal. I wanted to get my desktop cube back and stuff and I ended up disabling some things that I'm guessing were needed by the sidebar and stuff. Now when I start it up all I get is the wallpaper and nothing else. Not sure what to do from there.

I need to say that this is not my computer, so I don't know all of the details, but I know all it is really used for is Internet and reading .pdfs, and the main user is not an advanced user at all, so he wouldn't have messed with anything important. The picture pretty much says it all. It does not look like this at startup. This computer is set up to go to sleep after 15 minutes, and sleeping is how it spends most of its time. I don't know if sleep is what causes the problem or not. It just does it randomly after some time. The only way to fix it is to restart the computer.

While doing some experiments with my partitions I must have messed up something and I am unable to mount or unmount USB devices graphically, it simply says I have not the permission...Apart from playing with pysdm settings, the only bad thing I did was to change the permissions....(suggestion from another forum)$ sudo chmod -R 777 /Datasudo chown -R fred:fred /Data

I installed the Ubuntu 10.10 beta and after intalling, it installed Unity from the Netbook edition.
I thought it was normal so I tried it out for a while but it was glitchy and I didnt like it so I tried disabling it. I couldnt find a way how to do it, and I didnt have any Panels on my desktop and my background was just plain white, all that was visible was the Unity bar on the left side of the screen.
I decided to just reset my ubuntu settings to default without losing any of my Apps, movies, music, pictures etc etc
After doing that I restarted Ubuntu but now all i get its a white background without any panels and only Docky pops up at the bottom.
Is there anything I could do?

My old man wanted to try linux, and he got an Ubuntu install (ill check version tomorrow).Anyways, we installed it, but during boot of either it (going though a boot slector menu, hitting F it shows only two lines on the screen (something vaguely similar too):GRUB loading stage1.5GRUB error 21 (or 27 cant quite remeber)
I did, unfortunately, have to step out while it installed leaving him at the helm. now the main problem is this: Ubuntu will not boot, and neither will the previous (contained on a totally different harddrive) Windows XP. A third OS (Vista) still boots, but unfortunately my dad had all his apps on his XP drive. Now, the ubuntu we put on a third Hharddrive (Both Vista and XP boot from two IDE docks in the machine (one Primary master and one secondary master)), but the ubuntu was installed on an enclosed (In the case) SATA drive partition. it seemed to have installed but when selecting to boot form it, or the harddrive with the XP system, i get the above error. however, vista boots completely without problems. Anyone ever seen sometihng like this? the computer responds to no commands beyond ctrl-alt-delete at this lock up, and no dos/command prompt opens up. it just sits there at these two lines until either ctrl=alt=delete or a hard reset are pressed.

At first my internet was really choppy just using the default network manager, but I switched the kwlan and that was going pretty well, til I had to reboot and it decided to not work anymore. Now my kernel has no network manager, and I just need some guidance.
I tried downloading the original network manager deb packages from the ubuntu archives, but I couldn't get the core application to run (though I could get the GNOME applet) even wtih chmod I didn't have permission to do anything with it.

I am trying to install Xubuntu on a old toshiba satellite A55. I threw in the live CD and did the try without any changes to your computer. The starts to load, when it finishes loading, and I can finally start poking around it freezes right away. When it freezes the graphics get a bit messed up, little ghost images next to their actual image appear (like a second icon of the same thing slightly offset, and blue/white) I had the same problem with Mint. Only thing I have been able to get running is puppy linux.
Laptop info:
Celeron M CPU
roughly 750mb ram
ata-100 western digital drive
Toshiba Satellite A55-S3062

I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. I just installed HP drivers for my printer tonight, and now my laptop is acting a little "buggy". Some applications have froze, and my system tray icons are getting messed up. Sometimes the little power button dissapears and my username appears there instead, but it's not clickable. This means I have to shut down by using the power button on my laptop.
Also, as I am typing this message, the letters onscreen are lagging quite a bit behind my actual typing. It's as if there's something running in the background that is slowing everything down and messing things up.
