I have just upgraded to ubuntu 10.04 and am having problems. I used to use super+tab (aka windowskey+tab) to view and move between windows, but i havent been able to get this working since this new update. alt+tab still works as well as alt+shift+tab, but nothing with super.

i've switched over from windows7 and a feature that i really miss is to be able to use the Key Combination of Win(Super)+Arrow Keys to move the windows about.iE if i did super+Left the window would move to the left side of the screen and super+up maximized it.im pretty sure that there is some way to mimic this in ubuntu.
View 2 Replies View Relatedhow to use the <Super>ButtonX (<Super>Button1 for example for the enabled Compiz Screenshot plugin)? I also notice there is configurable buttons 1 throught 20 under the various options. At first I thought the ButtonX was a mouse button. Maybe it is with some anticipation of there being eventually being a possible 20 buttons on the mouse. I know the Super key is the Key with the Windows logo on it. But I don't know what to do to get the needed Super Key / Button combination. After having enabled Compiz's Screenshot plugin by its default, I don't get an image after hitting any of the Super key and mouse button combinations. I'm running Ubuntu 11.04.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't know if this is a known issue, but when I want to copy/move a file to a folder containing lots of sub-folder displayed as list, I can't do a simple drag&drop, because there is no empty space to move this file. It will always go into one of the sub-folders. So obviously I have to go up one folder or to change view from list to Icon or Compact. Is it a known issue? Is there a solution?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a Centos 5.3 server with Samba file shares and a shared Samba printer. I am not running a domain.
I recently changed my windows desktop pc from an XP machine to a vista 64 machine... It has a different user name. Everything went pretty smoothly - and the and the vista machine found the smba printer - and even downloaded the driver from the samba server. he printer works OK - and the file shares are fine.
The only thing which is quite odd - is that the Printer Properties dialogue takes more than 30 seconds to come up - and every action you attempt with the dialogue takes a similar amount of time.
I will include below the essence of my smb.conf:

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a FreeNAS server running CIFS shares. I just tried out Deja Dup on my home directory and backed it up to my CIFS share. This is about 200gb worth or so, I believe.After it was done, I went to browse into the directory. I've restarted the CIFS service on the server, rebooted the server, and rebooted Ubuntu,I STILL cannot browse my directory. It says:Sorry, could not display all the contents of "jason": Invalid argument.Yet I can SSH into it and do an ls listing and see all of the .tar.gz packages that Deja Dup created. Likewise, I can browse to it just fine in Windows.What is Ubuntu doing that it doesn't like to see these files? It's a huge, huge pain in the rear... How can I fix it?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm running Ubunutu 10.10 (64-bit) and used the Synaptic package manager to install CompizConfig Settings Manager a few months ago, thus enabling lots of shiny window manager effects. I haven't touched these settings for months, but within the last few weeks I have noticed that I can no longer reposition any windows. This may have happened after applying some updates.I can still maximise and minimise windows, but I cannot move any of them - dragging the title bar has no effect whatsoever. How can I make my windows movable once more?

Put simply I can not move any window from one screen to the other. It acts like two septate desktops. This wouldn't even be so bad if when I opened firefox or chrome on the other monitor it would open on that monitor. But neither does. They both open on monitor one no matter what screen I open them from.Ideally I would like to be able to grab a window and move it to the other monitor and vis versa just like you can in any windows install.Can anyone help me do this please? Or at least tell me how to make a browser stay open on the screen I open it from?
I have Windows XP installed in C: drive. C: - 80 GB NTFS And I have installed Ubuntu inside windows in E: drive with 15GB disk E : - 80 GB I have data inside E: drive 60GB
Now I need to remove windows and Move Ubuntu to the C: Drive then Expand the Ubuntu to 80GB..
How to do this ?
Having an issue with the new distro. I can't stand the new default UI (too cluttered) and don't currently have the time to learn how to customize it the way I want it, so I've reverted back to Ubuntu Classic.
I've now noticed that I cannot move or resize windows. If I try to click and drag on the title bar of a window, nothing happens. If I try to resize a window using the mouse, the mouse cursor will change to the resize cursor, but beyond that nothing will happen.
I've also noticed that some windows, like terminals or the "Shut down the computer" window are completely missing the title bar.
ubuntu 11.04, sony vaio laptop
I was messing around with trying to install themes and I must have knocked something important in compiz settings as now I am unable to move my windows around on my desktop.
Now whenever I open an application, however it opens I can't move it.
how I can enable window movement again?
I cannot move any of my open windows. Also, the "X" in the corner of the title bar is gone.

UPDATE: I'm looking to visually, securely and with as small a footprint as possible manage a remote Linux system via an GUI. It's not clear to me if Linux has a default method for streaming the desktop. Before installing something on the remote Linux system, is there a grep or find I should run to see if there's existing support on the computer? looked at Xming, but couldn't tell what it's doing; meaning if like WinSCP it's just creating an interface on my end and running CMDs remotely, or if it's streaming the desktop.

We also use a laptop (Windows Vista) downstairs which currently shares the internet wirelessly from our main desktop upstairs.

Is anyone else aware of some advanced techniques in which I could view it by the ServerName instead? I would assume I have to hook it up to some sort of DNS server? I know I can also edit the hosts file in my Windows XP and point certain urls to my IP address, but it will always resolve to the primary default virtualhost.
