Ubuntu :: Stop Inactive Windows From Loosing Their Opacity?
Jun 6, 2011
turn off the feature that causes the inactivate windows to loose their opacity. I use two monitors and have a number of applications running on each monitor. All the windows on the monitors have important information that I use. However, all the windows that are not active loose opacity and it's very hard to read their content unless I constantly click on the windows. One of my next upgrades for this year includes adding a Video card that has support for more than two monitors so that I have easily have even more windows in view. With the opacity lost it's going to be very hard t work in the environment.
I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 with the default Unity desktop. By the way, I'm sure if I boot into Ubuntu Classic or Unity 2D the problem would go away. However, I'm trying to use the default Unity desktop, as much of my reading appears to indicate some of the alternate boot options might be eventually be removed as an option. Also, I would like to experience the Unity as suggested by the developers. So hopefully this is a feature of the Unity 3D that has a user adjustment control.

I like the compositor options I get from Xubuntu rather Ubuntu because I havent really found a way to make the inactive windows transparent in Ubuntu. But I also like the transparency options I get for the panels on Ubuntu. I can make the panel transparent but keep the icons and text and Im pretty sure launchers not. Is there a way I can edit the panels in such a way in Xubuntu or vise versa for Ubuntu with the compositor options on Xubuntu?
First Screenshot is Ubuntu
Second Screen shot is Xubuntu
I want the red transparent panel from Ubuntu on Xubuntu or the compositing style from Xubuntu to Ubuntu.

I want to install Ubuntu 10.10 in SDB without loosing the data in SDA and SDC. When I try to install it, when I choose specify manual partition, I only find this: Where is SDB abd SDC? What do I choose in Device for Boot Loader Installation?

this might not seem a big issue but I'd really like to know whether it's possible to stop Nautilus from unfocusing windows when pressing on an item in another windows and draging it to the first one. For example, I want to move a file from one window to another. I click the middle mouse button on that item and drag it to the first one which looses it's focus so often it's quite irritating.

All I want to do is fade some text in and out via the opacity attribute, and change the text when it hits zero. My script changes the text on time, but ignores the formatting effects. I'm not worried at this stage about the else statement in the startFadeEffect() function. I just want the fade effect to work here the way it should.

When pressing Alt+Tab to switch between applications, I notice that it's actually all open windows that are presented, including tool windows in Gimp. Is there a way I could configure this so only document windows are presented, or better still, only applications like on Mac OS X? Or a third party solution?

One thing that really annoys me with Ubuntu 11 is that every time I move a window and it touches the top of the screen it maximizes
I have been looking for a while now to find a way to stop this from happening but couldn't find anything
I'm running version 11.4 with Unity in classic mode

When I connect to my Ubuntu box from any Mac OSX 10.6 client (Snow Leopard) using Nomachine, the 'd' key minimizes all windows on my Ubuntu box. I found another post here that says the issue can be fixed by changing some settings on the Ubuntu box when connected. However, I cannot find the location of the settings indicated in that post [URL].
Does anyone know how to resolve this 'd' key problem?

I upgraded to 13.1 from 13.0 a few days ago. I have a Toshiba Satellite L3655D that I leave on constantly. Twice now, I have woken up to windows (urxvt and firefox) that don't accept keyboard input. I can paste into them and they respond, clicking is fine, but the keyboard either barely sends or is completely ignored - if I tap a bunch of keys, one or two might go through, eventually. New windows work fine, so I have to replace everything I have open.
edit:I switched to XFCE for 2 days and the issue didn't appear, but my other laptop with the same fluxbox settings also did not have any problems. I switched the original laptop back to fluxbox (and happened to upgrade the ATI drivers around the same time) and haven't had it happen since. If this happens to you, try restarting X.

I installed windows xp on my tobisha satellite l305, then installed ubuntu 9.10..my friend's laptop had vista and was SOOO bogged down from viruses, so he wanted to try ubuntu. We installed ubuntu, leaving the other half of his hard drive unallocated.Afterwards we installed xp, on the unallocated space, but it wouldn't let me dual boot... it would boot directly into xp, however, the ubuntu partition was still there because through the file system in xp we could find it.So then run gparted on a live CD, delete the ubuntu parition, leaving it unallocated, then installed it over that unallocated space.
now, when i dual boot it shows on the grub page the option to boot to ubuntu, ubuntu (recovery) and these two memory test things that when i ran it just shows a BIOS looking screen.testing my memory. However, on the desktop i have mounted 79gb which has all the windows files in it.so how do I tell ubuntu to stop hoarding everything and share the boot screen with windows xp?

I first booted into Fedora and it connected to the Interneting was working brilliantly. I then booted into windows for a session of TF2. After I booted back into Fedora, it wouldn't connect to my network.I did fix this by doing a hard reset on my router, BT homehub. It's just that I don't want to reset and apply custom settings all the time.

When i insert my XP cd before i could get to the install or repair screen i get this error I found this and i am unsure what the problem is. Does it not like my HD? XP installed on my laptop in the past but i just got it back today from warranty service and they changed the HD. It should be the same type. NOTE: I did mess up the MBR badly. Bad enough to not be able to install Win7 which has been solved since. I broke my MBR/Windows doesnt let me reformat!

I am using Linux and Windows 7 on the same machine and my on-board NIC is functional under both. However, the weirdest thing happens when I browse the internet under Linux and then return to Windows; my NIC stops being recognized! This happens under Windows but also in Linux when I return! This problem is then easily fixed by resetting the CMOS, but inevitably occurs again. Why does this happen? Update The CMOS reset works but is not necessary for me. Shutting down and unplugging the power cord works as well.

I'm migrating a server form CentOs to Ubuntu 11.04. I migrated the users, moving the config files and gaining the access prompt for all the users just when I modified adduser.conf and login.defs, changing valid uid and gid to start from 500 instead of 1000. When I try to copy the files from old server to the new one, either with rsync or cp -br, the system set to 0 uid and gid. If I explore the mount point, connected with sshfs, I can see the correct configuration, either as names or as numeric data.

I would like to transfer the settings and list of installed applications to a new partition as I propose to do a fresh install into a new partition.
Can it be done?
If I could run ubuntu from the old partition I would do:
SUDO dpkg -- get-selections >/home/robin/package.selections
but
I can no longer boot from the old partition. I can access it from within the live cd. Is there an application which will extract a list that will set the old application selections into the new partition?

It seems to happen when I use memory-intensive applications. Sometimes it happens if I'm browsing and I have several Iceweasel windows opened on pages displaying multimedia content. Now I am working on a big Open Office drawing (large file, lots of stuff on the page) and it has happened twice. No warnings, no error messages, the keyboard just suddenly becomes completely unresponsive. I reboot and it functions again. Until next time.
I've got an up-to-date stable Lenny on a Dell Vostro 1520 and no other OS. I've got some extra stuff from non-free repositories but AFAIK these deal with multimedia applications, not keyboard control.

I have 64-bit ubuntu 9.10 server edition running in a media server for my house. But over the last few months I've discovered that its loosing files! Its not all files, Just music. It will lose anywhere from about half an album the every song in the folder, leaving the artwork if it was in there. At first i thought It was iTunes reorganizing my files, but thats not the case, as i've looked around for them, and told iTunes pretty much to stop messing with my file locations. My boss who's pretty Linux savvy says that 9.10 is really buggy. I've tried doing updates (sudo apt-get update/upgrade) but its still losing music.
