Jul 8, 2010I'm looking for a way to hide the icons in the Gnome menu bar.
The only thing i've found is the gconf-editor and unchecking /desktop/gnome/interface/menus_have_icons, but that only affects the System menu and not Applications and Places...
Example:

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: GNOME Window Darkening Behaviour / How To Turn It Off?
Apr 5, 2011GNOME has a feature where it darkens windows when the program is hung up on a calculation (I think this is the condition under which it darkens anyway.)Not sure what this feature is, but I want to turn it off. Don't know how to go about this, as I don't even know what the feature is called. Anyone know how to turn it off?(It tends to darken a program I use when the program is actually not getting hung up in any appreciable way.)

It worked fairly well in ubuntu though.

Apr 13, 2010I'm running GNOME (gnome-session under xmonad). I want to turn off antialiasing (i.e. use monochrome mode) for fonts in gnome-terminal. But I want to retain antialiasing for other applications, like Firefox. Is this possible?
Antialiasing is great and almost necessary for using Firefox or Chrome. But it makes the fonts in gnome-terminal blurry at sizes around 12 or smaller.
Otherwise, I'll just have to use xterm, which seems not to anti-alias its fonts under any circumstances.
Software :: Gnome Screen-saver Does Not Turn On When System Is Idle - FC-11
Dec 1, 2009My Gnome screensaver doesn't work, although it once did.
I have searched for a solution to this problem but no luck. I am running FC 11 and out-of-the-box gnome. At first the screensaver worked normally, shutting off the screen after 5 mins. Now it does not do so. I found the following command line suggestion in the forums, and it looks like it may point to a problem -- the screensaver is inactive, but how to make it active? I may be misunderstanding the term inactive, of course. Logically, the screensaver would have to be inactive if I am typing a command.
In any case, the query command shows:
Just in case the screensaver really was not running, I tried this command (which I found in another post):
But the query returns the same thing as before.
The only thing I can think of that might be an issue is that using the "appearances" background facility I added a couple dozen pictures that I thought I might use as screen background. Not long after that I discovered that my screen did not go black after 5 mins as expected. Not sure this correlation has any causal meaning, however. I then tried various things, finally returning to the plain (blue) default. That seemed to fix it for a short while, then after a couple of days, the bad or non-behavior returned -- the screensaver does not work.
(update -- I removed all the extra background pics and it makes no difference.)
My system runs all the time, but I don't want the screen to be on all the time.
Ubuntu :: When Turn On The Computer, The GRUB Menu Appears, Press Enter, Then A Little Flashing Underscore Appears On The Screen?
Dec 21, 2010I recently removed Winblows Vista from my laptop and replaced it with Kubuntu 10.10 (I left the recovery partition on there, just in case). When I turn on the computer, the GRUB menu appears, I press enter, then a little flashing underscore appears on the screen in the top left hand corner. After a few seconds, the Kubuntu logo appears and I can log in.But yesterday I replace Kubuntu with Ubuntu 10.10. The Boot process is the same, but the little flashing underscore in the top left hand corner flashes for about 10 seconds longer then Kubuntu 10.10 did, and then a few paragraphs of text appears for a few seconds, then I am logged in automatically.Is this "unusual" boot process anything to worry about, or am I just being a noob.

Nov 6, 2010I'm using 10.04, and gnome-terminal GNOME Terminal 2.30.2 . I have irssi running on screen session on remote host. And I've been struggling for quite many days to configure it to produce either visual feedback or ring terminal's bell when I receive a private message or one of those that are highlighted.
My compiz settings window in General tab has 'Audible bell' checked.
My GNOME terminal has 'Terminal bell' checked.
I also added 'set bell-style audible' to my ~/.inputrc
And I also tried to manually load pcspkr module into my kernel.
No of the above helped or at least I haven't been able to notice any difference.
I also used some commands for irssi to produce bell sign.

Ubuntu :: GNOME Menu Shortcuts Are Gone?
Jun 8, 2010yesterday I was moving some launchers in the menu editor, going a bit too fast, and I accidentally hit delete on the "Internet" menu. In an attempt to get it back, I deleted ~/.local/share/applications and ~/.gconf/apps/panel, assuming they'd be automatically replaced. I ran the updater today and it updated gnome-panel, so I $ killall gnome-panel 'd just in case, and once again nothing. I have all the custom launchers from ~/.local/share/applications saved onto my desktop, but right now I need all the original launchers back. I don't even have the software management launcher! It just shows me a little tiny black stripe because it's completely empty. BTW, I'm running Lucid 64.
View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Persistent Changes To Gnome Menu
Jul 6, 2010I'm trying to figure out how to make persistent changes to the Gnome menu. I know I can make user-specific changes, as defined by Alacarte, but that's not what I need for this machine. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with Gnome 2.30.2.
Per freedesktop.org specs I created an entry for a new sub-menu under Applications called Social Networking. I simply copied an existing menu entry and made the appropriate changes.
For example:
<!-- Social Networking -->
<Menu>
<Name>Social</Name>
<Directory>Social-Networking.directory</Directory>
<Include>
<And>
<Category>Social</Category>
</And>
</Include>
</Menu>
Next I created a .desktop file in /usr/share/desktop-directories/ called Social-Networking directory.
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Social
Comment=Social Networking Applications and Utilities
Icon=preferences-system-network
Type=Directory
X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=gnome-menus
Now, I'm stuck. I can't seem to figure out how to make an application's menu appear in the Social Networking sub-menu. For that matter, I can't even get the Social Networking sub-menu to appear under Applications. I assuming it will appear once I "associate" an applications's menu to the sub-menu, but I'm only guessing right now. I've logged out and back in; I even restarted my machine. Though I am not new to Linux, I am new to Ubuntu and Gnome.
Ubuntu :: Slim Down Big Gnome Menu?
Aug 5, 2010i've posted and read and been through metacity forums, and still cant find a answer to slimming down the Gnome menu. The only way i can get the list shorter (less wasted space between menu entries, going top downwards) is a certain GTK theme (LK OS-K Blue) but i dont care for the metallic theme. i have spend 6 hours tonight tweaking .gtkrc files here and there, with varying results, the spacing is really horrible and makes an otherwise good desktop look horrible.
the fonts are small, unused entries are hidden, resolution is 1600x900. it can be done via a certain Metacity theme, but x=thickness and y=thickness & Treeviews in gtkrc have either no effect, or affect the wrong widgets, scrollbars,buttons or checkboxes. etc. i have compared both themes gtkrc files side by side,too. no progress. i have been chasing this UI 'feature' for months, but now i'm getting fed up. anyone have any better / more detailed info ?
Ubuntu :: Gnome Menu On Right Click?
Aug 10, 2010I have configured my gnome-menu to come up on right click, and ctrl+right-click for the nautilus pop-up menu using this command
Code:
xte "keydown Alt_L" && xte "key F1" && xte "keyup Alt_L" in compizconfig, and setting the button binding to button 3. I had to install a package before this, I don't remember which one though (copy & paste hehehe)
It all works great and it looks good, except for one annoying problem I didnt think of. When I'm playing a game that I need to right-click to perform an action, the menu pops up. (Think StarCraft. Right click to move) Basically what I'm asking is if there is a way to add exception to this? the menu will come up as long as it is not clicked on certain windows?
