My Ubuntu goes to sleep after 5 minutes. When I wake it up, and enter Firefox, and try to type in an address, it does not bring the dropdown menu with the history of the URLs that begin with the string I just typed. Is there anyway to get it to stop forgetting the history after Ubuntu comes back from sleep?
View 3 RepliesIt took me a while and maybe someone else already know this, but I recently added RGBA to give me more transparency. But when I did this the shadows on the dropdown menus on the panel and in nautilus were not shadowed.
To correct this in Compizconfig Settings Manager: Turn on Window Decoration is you haven't already. Copy/Paste this line in the Shadow Windows info box:
[Code]...
That should be enough to get your drop shadows back on the drop down menu items. worked for me. Even works on the menus in Chromium even if the GTK themes window border is off, but is still won't shadow the window if GTK window borders are turned off.
I have been having issues with the Firefox browser for the past few months. Firefox version: 3.6.11 Ubuntu x86_64 OS: Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64
Add ons: Flash block, Ad Block+, image block Occasionally on booting up and starting Firefox, the top menu bar, the location bar drop down do not work. Clicking them has no effect. Though I can enter a URL in the location bar, the drop down that gives recently browsed sites is unavailable. Using the keyboard shortcuts for these doesn't work too. So essentially all my browsing history, bookmarks, saved passwords are not accessible.
Restarting the browser/system doesn't . Deleting the whole profile folder restores the functionality, though it takes me back to a blank slate as far as my personalisation and browsing history is concerned and everything needs to be rebuilt. Restoring the profile folder causes the issue to reappear. So it appears to have something to do with the profile stored. Would like to look if any one has has similar issues but can't get a hang of how to best describe this or how others would have described it. I am sure you understand how bad it feels when all the history, bookmarks, passwords etc are in a way lost when this happens. Also how and where to post this or search if already similar bug is posted with Ubuntu and Firefox.
P.S: Is there a way to separate the personal info like history, passwords and bookmarks from the profile somehow?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu 10.04 (Lucid), GNOME 2.30.2. After some time of correct operation, my dropdown menu from "Places" in the GNOME Panel has gone wrong.
If I click Places and then click on any of the dropdown shown, Home Folder, Desktop, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, Downloads, before the horizontal line separator, Banshee launches. Those after the separator, Computer, Floppy and my Hard Drives, launch correctly.
I have tried restoring the Panel to its original setting with no luck.
I have a Hp Touchsmart Tx2 with AMD processor and ATi graphics. I installed Ubuntu 10.10 (64 bit) last night for the second time, the first time i had this problem so i thought maybe another download and another install would help, and i have dual boot setup with windows vista on the other partition. So the install went fine but when i am at the home screen in Ubuntu and i click something like the wireless icon at the top, or the time at the top, or any of those icons the dropdown menu is displayed at a 45 degree angle or something.
Also the drop down menus in firefox will do it too, i'm sure others will as well. It is really wierd and i already installed the flxgr Ati driver (i think thats what its called) via the additional drivers application. Also when i open the terminal it is displayed at this same angle. The outline is perfect put the content inside is skewed. Also I should mention overall its just slow and laggy and the wifi cuts in and out. I took some pictures with my camera cause when i took a screen shot the menu for that was slanted and i couldn't see what the options were.
when we type mpd & to bring up ring on a single nodethe output is a random number,like this:>>mpd &>>[1] 5450anybody knows what is this resulting number?ps: i dont think its a port number because when i type >>mpd -eits prints out the port number mpd takes

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just upgraded to lucid and the first thing that I noticed was that the different shutdown options (Logout, Restart etc.) disappeared from the user-switch menu (at least that's how I think it is called) where they were located previously under karmic. Logout and Shutdown are placed under the System menu currently, and they work fine, but my question is how to show all (or some) of the shutdown options in the System or user menu? I dislike going through the dialog and prefer to choose my action directly from the menu.I have tried removing and readding the user-switch applet, to no avail. I tried adding menu items to both the system menu and the user menu, to no avail either

But I don't want that because I want choose Windows, and now I don't have any Idea how should I bring the Menu back.

I would like to set my FireFox up so that when I type something in the address bar that is not a url, it will automatically do a google search. I have done this before, but that was a while ago and I can't remember what settings to change in about:config.Currently, when I type something that is not a url, it performs a search and then automatically opens the first web page that it finds, like a "I'm feeling lucky" search. I just want to see a google list.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'd like to implement a dynamic menu which will allow me to specify an IP address and read it into memory. This is what I've got so far (it's fairly basic...)
Code:
IPS=`ifconfig -a | grep 'inet addr:' | awk '{print $2}' | tr -d "addr:"`
PS3='Select an option and press Enter: '
select i in $IPS
do
case $i in
$i) echo $IPS;;
esac
done
echo $IPS
At the moment it just says "Which IP would you like to use" and then freezes, most success I've had is it showing all the IP's listed in ifconfig and then showing the same menu.

When running Firefox 4.0b13pre (2011-02-25) Minefield occasionally and suddenly I can't access any item in a drop-down menu. The menu appears but just disappears when attempting to move the mouse cursor into the drop-down items list. When the problem starts it applies to all menus. The only solution is to close Firefox and reopen when, of course, all is fine until next time. The problem seems to begin entirely randomly and I can't reproduce it at will.
View 9 Replies View RelatedThere used to be a dropdown menu at the bottom right corner of the main window of GIMP (the window with whatever image i'm working on), where i would be able to select between zoom levels (such as 50%, 100%, etc).

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an app with a Drawing window that gets partially overwritten by the drop down of a combo box. When the combo box closes, the drawing window does not get any window invalidate type messages and that section just stays blank until something else happens that causes the drawing window to repaint. I want to trap the close of the combo box and queue a redraw of the drawing window. However, I can't find any signal that happens when the combo closes without changing the active selection. When the selection changes I get the changed event and can repaint. When the selection does not change, nothing happens.

After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
