Ubuntu :: Moving Buttons To Left - Keep Moving Back
Mar 27, 2011I like the buttons on the left. I'm running 10.04 & I know how to move them. The problem is that changing themes will move them back right. OK, if the new theme has them on the right that's OK. But going back to the other theme doesn't change them back. They don't seem to be controlled by the theme, or I'm just not doing it right.

Mar 4, 2010I have limited experience in terminal, but let me first explain what I am trying to do to see if there is some easier way to do it. Basically I want to change the skin in aMSN. I downloaded the new skin but am unable to unzip or move it without /root permissions. I don't know how to acquire this without being in terminal. So I figured there had to be some way to go into the terminal and use it to move the unzipped folder from the desktop to the aMSN skins folder.

Jan 6, 2011I want to move a 250GB IDE hard drive from a PC and repalce it with a smaller 40GB IDE HD. Currently the 250 GB drive is dual loaded with WinXP and Ubuntu desktop.
This PC is a kiosk style touch screen that I use as a home stereo and some other entertainment and household tasks. I have some hardware (touch screen, USB headset, wireless LAN card, sound card) that are proving to be problematic under Ubuntu. Currently this box is very usable under windows and I would like to just continue using the current build but with the new smaller HD.
I want to move that 250GB drive (along with several others) to a cluster and make a shared network space for file storage, music streaming, etc. but that's a project for another day.
Ubuntu :: Moving The Unity Bar?
Mar 10, 2010I'm helping a friend with his netbook, and he is used to the regular netbook edition before the unity-style. The small netbookscreen is just not good for this new appbar on the left side (it's one of the old eee-pc's).
None of us like that solution, and I wonder if its possible to move the bar on the bottom side of the screen so it will be a bit more Windows 7-ish? I've searched and looked everywhere so I just have to ask.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Moving To LTS From Upgraded 10.04
May 18, 2010I have just got my 10.04 LTS CD from Canonical.
I was too impatient and upgraded to 10.04. The up-gradation was not without its flaws, but I have worked around a number of issues and I am happily working on it now.
I have installed a number of other software on the 10.04 upgraded version like Eclipse, GATE (NLP software), BasKet Notes, Thunderbird etc. If I install the LTS version will I have to re-download and install all of these things? Or is it portable?
I use only Linux on my laptop and so the stability is very important.
Ubuntu :: Moving Files From Different OS's?
Jun 26, 2010im switching. Vista is......yeah nothing needs to be said. Anyways i only have a few things preventing me from switching, biggest is Ubuntu is currently partinioned on 10gigs of my hard drive, the rest is mostly crap. All i want off vista is music, pictures, and a few videos. how do i get them onto the ubuntu side, or allocate more space to use a friends external harddrive. I know Wine is used for WoW(problem solved) but how about ventillo and the rarely played EvE online? also if possible i need to bring those over as well. other than than Ubuntu kicks the **** out of any windows or mac OS ive ever used. but thats not sayin a whole lot.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Moving Old Home To New Pc?
Aug 5, 2010Just finished building a new Ubuntu box and have been getting things setup. I have a new SATA 500 gig drive in the new system. My old IDE drive from the previous system is in and mounted. I can currently boot to either by flipping the BIOS info. Not sure if I can mount the SATA while booted to the old IDE tho, get mount errors at startup.
So, my plan is to move the essential bits of my /home into a storage area, and take ownership of them, so I can import my old mail and other essential stuff. When I try to copy from the SATA drives new install I get permission errors, and all the files are owned by #1002. Seeing how my brain is toast due to heat and working on this build for about the past 8 hours, can anyone give me a simple way to copy over the info from the IDE drive (which will be going away) to the SATA drive and have the data usable for import into my home folder.

Ubuntu :: Moving HDD To New Computer?
Feb 3, 2010I've currently got an older Gateway 1.8Ghz/512MB older NVIDIA box running Ubuntu 9.10. I'm I'm putting my HDD into another one I acquired, P4 2.2Ghz/2GB/Newer NVIDIA card. Basically the HDD will be the only leftover from the old system (and maybe a cdrom) Will 9.10 re-detect everything ok? Or will things I'm not thinking about be configured wrong due to the switch. Also I should state the the Proc on the new mobo will be replaced with a P4 3.4Ghz within the next couple weeks. But I was thinking since I'm not going to 64bit it wouldn't make a difference, correct me if I'm wrong. my /home is on it's own part so a reinstall wouldn't be too big of a deal if needed, just don't want to do unnecessary work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Moving A Folder In Terminal
Jan 23, 2010I had a folder named "Rage Against the Machine" in my Home directory which contained a bunch of music files. I opened my Terminal window and planned on moving it to a folder named "Downloads" inside my home folder, so I used this command:
Code:
sudo mv "Rage Against The Machine" /Downloads
Now I can't actually find the folder inside Downloads, which I think it should be. so I even tried running this to find it:
Code:
locate "Rage Against The Machine"
and it couldn't find it either.
Where did it go??
The folder size was approximately 837.6 MB in size total.
Ubuntu :: Moving From Vista To 9.10 - Can't Boot
Apr 4, 2010Recently I decided to remove Vista from my Pc and put Karmic Koala in its place. Instead, I formatted C: then created a new partition and put Ubuntu there but now it won't even boot!. All it does is stay on the logo screen and flash the Caps LED. Booting on 'safe mode' only works until the message: gave up waiting for root device.
I'm sure there are a lot of guides to correct this error

Ubuntu :: Moving Windows From One Desktop To Another?
May 13, 2010i installed ubuntu 10.4 on my samsung n110 netbook, the regular one, not the netbookremix
so far it looks good, some little inconveniences though, my main one right now is: i used to be able to grab a window with the mouse on one desktop and move it to another desktop just by dragging it (i.e. drag it to the right side of the screen and then it would switch desktops automatically)
now that doesnt seem to work anymore, i can only move the window but then i have to switch desktops manually and move the window some more
this really sucks, i know for now i can use ctrl+alt+shift+left/rightarrow but im used to doing it with the mouse and i quite like it
so my question is, is this a common issue? is it specific to my environment, if that's the case i'd be happy to give you more info on it...

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Moving Tmp To RAM - Performance Increase
Jul 15, 2010I've found this page: [URL]
I've followed several suggestions on my system and overall performance is better.
My question is related to the following:
Quote:
OPTIMIZATIONS NOT RELATED TO STARTUP
Move your temporary files /tmp folder to your RAM if you have loads of memory. This will also provide you greater privacy. Edit /etc/fstab and add the following line to it
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0
Is this not normally implemented since some users don't have a lot of RAM?
Also, would it make that much difference if the system didn't have a lot of RAM to work with?

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Moving HDD To New Computer?
Oct 3, 2010today I obtained a computer from a friend who had just bought a new computer, and they were getting rid of the old one. Being a linux user I couldn't let a perfectly good albeit slow Windows XP computer go to waste. With Ubuntu 10.04 install it is lightning fast. I've noticed it is faster than the current computer I use as a server, and want to migrate the HDD over to the new machine. I know there are issues when doing so with Windows as it registers the hardware and has major heartburn with this, so I was wondering if Ubuntu or linux in general will have any problems. I simply want to move it over.
I don't have a problem with reformatting as it has it's own /home partition, but for obvious reasons I would like to minimize down time. I did a search on google and on the forums here and I didn't find what I want to do.
Ubuntu :: Audio Is Moving Too Fast?
Oct 10, 2010My install of 10.10 went fine with the exception of Audio. If I attempt to use audio with the Rythmbox application or through Adobe Flash (in firefox), it sounds like an old fashioned 33 1/3 rpm phonograph record playing at 45 rpms. This problem has been around for a while and I had hoped that it would be cleaned up by now.
I'm running an AMD 64 processor (in 32 bit mode) and my audio card is a "Sound Blaster Live Value" (EMU10k1X). My on-board sound card is turned off in the bios. It works beautifully under Ubuntu 10.04 and FC13 with Pulse Audio.
Originally I thought that it might be a problem with Rythmbox which is now at v 0.13.1, a later version then I have been using in 10.04. However, with the Rhythmbox application off, I still get the same effect when trying to use audio in firefox. I also noticed that my cpu utilization climbs to about 80% when Rhythmbox is on.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Moving From One Partition To Another
Dec 9, 2010I work with ubuntu 10.10 64 bit on a hp pavilion 2713ca laptop. Everything is fine presently, except for the fact that I will be soon out of space on the actual sda6 partition (only 2 gig left).
I would like to move the ubuntu partition with all its content to a second one where there is a lot of space, that is sda2. So my question would be twofold.
1) What software can I use to do that (gparted, clonezilla, ... ) and is someone is familiar with the procedure?
2) Will there be an easy way to change the grub.cfg file? (for example, will the command grub update be enough to boot to new setup)
