Ubuntu :: Restore Previous Compiz Settings?

Ubuntu :: Back-up And Restore Compiz Settings?

Jul 1, 2011

to back-up and eventually restore compiz settings, is it enough to back-up and restore the .compiz directory in $HOME? Reason is that the setting in my classic gnome set-up are different and partially conflict with the unity settings. Since I want to be able to run both environment (to give Unity a chance) I'd like to be able to switch settings easily.

Fedora Installation :: Restore Previous Version Of A RPM?

Mar 2, 2009

Is there a relatively easy way to restore the "previous" version of an RPM in FC10? The last set of updates killed my GUI and I'd very much like to get back to whatever I had before I got updated to:

xorg-x11-server-common-1.5.3-13.fc10.i386
xorg-x11-drv-evdev-2,1.3-1.fc10.i386

General :: Way To Restore Previous Desktop / Need To Reconfigure Everything?

Jan 10, 2011

Don't know what I did but while moving the cursor around fast, suddenly my desktop reverted to the default openSUSE 11.3 background (circles) from a custom jpeg image and all the icons disappeared. Rebooting did not solve the situation. Never had this happen before in over twenty years.Is there a way to restore the previous desktop or do I need to reconfigure everything?

OpenSUSE :: Restore Evolution Data From A Previous Version?

Aug 25, 2010

This is to request assistance or information as to why the evolution application will not accept the evolution-backup-tar.gz file from a previous version.

Situation: I upgraded by way of a fresh install from openSuSE 11.2 to 11.3 (GNOME desktop).
Before upgrading, I produced the above mentioned backup file so that I could import all the mail, addresses etc. into the new application.

Result: it does not work. The process starts up seemingly normal but then simply sits there forever with the message "evolution shuts down" - but it does'nt. I have to kill it to stop it.

I am looking forward to a resolution since it would be a real pity if I lost the mail history.

Ubuntu Installation :: Saving Settings From A Previous Install?

May 24, 2010

Over the last two months I've been trying out Ubuntu 10.04 32bit using Wubi under my current Windows 7 32bit OS, and I'm at the point where I want to reformat and partition my HDD making Ubuntu my main OS (with a very small partition for Windows 7 on the side for certain things).I was just wondering if it is somehow possible to export all my current settings and preferences for my current installation of Ubuntu so that once I've reinstalled it, I can import them and everything will be the same as it is now (I hope that made sense...).I'm not too fussed about reinstalling apps and things, just all my current settings and preferences.Oh and also, (this might not be the place to ask, but I know you'll probably be able to answer this as well) is there anything I can use to do the same export/import process with my Windows 7

Installation :: Want To Preserve Settings From Previous Version Of Ubuntu

Apr 26, 2011

I am now using ubuntu 10.10. I am going to install ubuntu 11.04 on April 28 (after it is released). I want to preserve:
1) the list of extra programs installed by me on ubuntu 10.10 (I want to install the same programs in 11.04 also)
2) program settings

My questions:
1) From synaptic package manager menu:
File -> Save Markings (save full state, not only changes)
saves in a text file the list of programs installed on my system. I used that file to install the same programs in several computers running ubuntu 10.10. Is there a way to use that list in 11.04 also.

2) Copying the directory ~/.mozilla preserves all settings of firefox from previous installation. Like that what files should be copied for gnome applications (gnome-panel, nautilus, etc.)

OpenSUSE :: Change Gnome Desktop Icons Back To Previous Settings?

Jan 15, 2011

I have recently played around with Mac4lin a program to change the interface to one that resembles a Mac computer. I did not like the settings then decided to uninstall the program. It reverted to a really ugly looking gnome desktop rather than my previous settings. One thing that I don't like is that I have a foot icon on my gnome traditional menu button on the panel rather than the green ball type icon I used to have. I know it's not the end of the world that my icons do not look like it previously did, everything else is running smoothly, though I'm just more annoyed than anything else.

Ubuntu :: Way To Restore Only Application Switcher From Metacity When Using Compiz?

Aug 19, 2010

Is there a way to restore only the application switcher from metacity when using compiz?I generally like compiz on, but there is not an application switcher within compiz that provides the usability of the standard metacity switcher.They are fine when you have only a few windows open, but if you are running many apps (some of them with multiple windows) it becomes quite hard to identify the app you want.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unclaimed Display, Compiz Won't Run After System Restore?

Aug 1, 2010

I tarred my system (NVidia based) and restored it on 2 other different machines. (Intel g965 and SIS 661/741/760) On both of them I see

Code:
$ sudo lshw -C display *-display UNCLAIMED As a result I can't enable compiz (visual effects), cairo dock is unusable (noGL version, GL won't run at all) - it shows a huge black rectangle as its background even when the dock is hidden. I think the problem is that the video driver is not enabled, I need your help making it work. After the restore during the 1st boot X complained that it can't find NVidia and showed me the options use default settings generate new settings (I used this one) So now one of the PCs:

Ubuntu :: What All Settings Mean' And 'using' Compiz

Apr 9, 2011

I've been looking around on the Internet for a comprehensive tutorial on 'how Compiz works', 'what all the settings mean' and 'using' Compiz; but, so far, have only seen things describing how to do a certain thing or other. I've gone into Compiz Configuration Settings Manager and poked around but what I've seen in there seems extremely technical (in other words - I don't know what the heck these settings mean or what would happen if I changed one of them).So far I've manged to get the magnifying glass thing and I have wobbly windows (don't know if I can take credit for that though). So I see all these amazing demonstrations of it on you tube and whatnot and I wish I could do some of that stuff but I'd really like to approach this by learning all about Compiz from A to Z rather than learn this thing and then that thing, etc.

Is there anything out there that you know of? Ann ebook or something? I saw a book called: "Compiz Fusion" URL... that really, interests me but it is not available as an eBook (believe me I looked and looked and looked) and it's pretty expensive.

Ubuntu :: Custom Compiz Settings Will Not Save?

Jan 23, 2010

I am experiencing a similar problem as this thread but I do not use the fusion-icon.[URL].. Compiz will not save custom settings when compiz-settings-manager is used. It will save setting thru "Simple-settings-manager". In addition, some settings will not take effect immediately. Example: The "viewport switcher" in "Desktop-wall". Color changes will not take effect unless I change the "preview scale".Quote:
