G`Day, I`m getting corruption of some kde apps in gnome. While k3b & vlc look fine, others like KRDC & kolourpaint are corrupted. Problem remains if I enable compiz or not.Ubuntu 10.04 nvidia card . Have two boxes (32 & 64 bit) both with nv cards, and problem happens on both
View 1 RepliesI've tried to research my issue as best I can before posting here. System is 10.4 32bit on Acer Aspire 5720. Here's the chain of events: First noticed Firefox couldn't create a file under /tmp to download Virtualbox. Hm. Try to reload Firefox, it won't restart; freezes with one tab open, blank with transparent square in top-left, not a chrome loaded if I remember right. Both latest stable and Dev Preview. Maybe a reboot will work...Normal Ubuntu loading screen appears, but before anything else a message box appears near top right of screen: Quote:
Install problem! The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. contact your computer administrator. Shortly after, an abnormally styled pop-up appears asking me for my default keyring password - seemingly skipping the account login step. When I put in the keyring and click 'Ok', the button stays pressed down and the system hangs. Have to switch off. Boot into recovery mode, root with networking. I read somewhere that "dpkg --configure -a" followed by "apt-get -f install" might help. However, "dpkg --configure -a" fails thusly:

I recently upgraded from 11.3 to 11.4 using the "zypper dup"-method, because I have made good experiences with that approach with my last upgrade. However I have some strange visual artifacts throughout the system now. When a button is in its pushed state, then at the left and top edge, where normally a drop-shadow would be drawn, is a white bar, as shown in the picture below.This also applies to progress-bars (for example when starting eclipse but also for all other applications)Also the systems feels slower than usual when switching between applications. Can't tell if this is important, but I have a Nvidia Quadro NVS 160M graphics card with the latest driver (version 260.19.44).

[URL] I'm guessing it belongs to an item that isn't there, but if I start an additionnal tray program, the new app doesn't take this place, instead it adds itself to the left of the tray. And it doesn't belong to a program that I used and closed, since it's there after a fresh boot.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWith the installation of 11.4, my video driver changed over to the nouveau driver from the proprietary nVidia driver. Now I get a grid of vertical lines following my curser in both KDE and Gnome, a similar grid over icons and as background fill in KDE. In KDE the grid lines appear over icons within application windows. Is anyone else seeing these? Or, not seeing them while using the nVidia driver?

I use some kde applications in gnome such as k3b, basket notes, kover kreator and amarok. These pull in a large amount of dependencies and need the occasional tweak to get them running smoothly. Although I prefer the gnome desktop would I be any better installing the kde desktop and then running the applications from the gnome menu? Would there be any advantage to this rather than installing them individually into gnome?
View 5 Replies View RelatedEver since I upgraded to 10.10, I've been having problems with running KDE apps under my Gnome desktop.Problem one: Apps start in full screen. With Amarok, I was able to set a shortcut key to un-fullscreen the program, which worked. BasKet does not have an option for setting such a keyboard shortcut, and it's pretty much just stuck in fullscreen. Since I'm running Gnome, I do not have an option for un-fullscreening it via the window list bar/right click window menu.
Second problem: My KDE apps seem to use my GTK theme/color settings, but only partially. This results in a situation where I have black text on gray background, which makes it pretty unusable unless I change the GTK theme to something more black-on-white. Before 10.10, KDE apps used to run with what I assume was some sort of a KDE theme, completely different from my GTK theme. I was OK with that, and if possible, would like to remove whatever Gnome-KDE compatibility thing that is causing this.
I use a few KDE apps in gnome, and I like them to look as in KDE with elegant qt style buttons and controls,however they look like whatever but what qt applications look like.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Ubuntu 11.04 with Gnome 2 (a.k.a. the "Ubuntu Classic" shell) and the "New Wave" theme from the official repositories.
This installation started out as 10.04, and was then immediately upgraded to 10.10. I had to do that because 10.10 wouldn't install directly because of some bug.
It worked fine until I upgraded to 11.04, now I've got a bug whereby Qt apps don't render properly.
See the image here:
Now if I open the "Qt 4 Settings" tool and set it to Cleanlooks:
As you can see, it works correctly with Cleanlooks, but with it set to "Desktop Settings (default)", it is impossible to see the current selection, dividers etc.
This affects all Qt4 applications.
I have tried installing the package including the theme from 10.10 and that didn't help so I'm inclined to think it's not New Wave that is at fault here. Perhaps it's something that was changed for Unity?
(I'd rather not switch to a different theme, this one works for me. And I'd switch to Linux Mint but I've got all my stuff set up on here )
I have a keyboard&monitor damaged laptop which I've converted into a media server/HTPC with a large external monitor. I've installed Ubuntu 9.10, and attached an external 1TB HDD with my video collection. As a media player it works perfectly fine. I can connect to it through my home network, both with VNC and with SSH. I can use VNC on my current laptop to access the player's desktop and play video files. However, this is awkward as the screen resolution of the playback monitor is 1920x1080 - much bigger than the laptop's screen - which means I either end up scrolling the viewpoint around, or scaling the virtual screen down to make reading text very difficult.
What I'd like to be able to do is to trigger Gnome applications - specifically the Totem video player - via a SSH session, on the current Gnome desktop. The idea is that I'd like to be able to browse the directories which house my video collection in SSH, launch the player in the session, and have it appear on the monitor. Ultimately, I'd like to be able to invoke this from a PHP script - thus allowing me to create a (simple) web application on a LAMP installation which would allow me to browse & play my video collection. Currently, when I try and invoke totem, it seems to want to connect the invocation of the software to the SSH session, which - of course - it can't do. Where I might start in trying to set this up?
it was difficult for me to get it set up. So, when Squeeze became the stable release, I strayed. Tried Ubuntu, Mandriva, PCLOS, Mepis, both KDE and Gnome, and after using Lenny for several months, they all sucked. So I'm back, and although it took me several hours, over a few days, and 50 searches, I have Squeeze set up just how I want. I love how fast and stable it is!!
I've become a big fan of Gnome over the past year, because of how simple, fast and stable it is. But, there are a few KDE apps I prefer over the ones available for Gnome. I want to install K3b, KTorrent, digiKam/showFoto, and probably Amarok (although I haven't given Rythembox a fair chance). I realize this will install the KDE base, but other than the space taken up, is there any disadvantage to doing this? If there's a chance it will affect the speed and stability of the system, I'll learn to live without them.
Is there a way to extract the MD5 SUM from a .iso I download in Gnome?? K3b does it automatically before the burn. Does Brasero do this and I'm just missing it?
I've tried using Transmission a few times before to download torrents, but never with success, yet with KTorrent, I just click on the file and it starts downloading it.
I am about to install Linux Mint 8 and Fedora 12 along with Win7 on my Thinkpad T500.
I will mostly be using the following programs:
-Firefox
-Thunderbird
-VLC Player
-Amarok
[code]...
Which desktop should I go with? KDE or Gnome? I used Gnome on Ubuntu so far and I like it. I am just wondering if Kdenlive and Amarok might run more smoothly on KDE?
For some reason, Gnome keeps opening some programs that I frequently use (Gedit, gnome-terminal, and a document viewer) at startup.I have disabled the"remember my open programs" option from the Preferences menu and it still happens!
View 3 Replies View RelatedRunning 10.04 very nicely, but I have applied a cursor theme - Comixcursor - which appears fine in my Gnome apps, but does not in my KDE apps, i.e. Amarok, and I get the default cursor. Each time I restart my lappy, I have to go into the KDE System Settings to apply it again.
View 1 Replies View RelatedSince I switched to lucid (clean install), the interface has become very slow, unresponsive. I had no such problem in karmic. Switching from one window to another, displaying menus, browsing files, resizing windows etc... take ages to display.Now what is strange, is that this problem only affects native gnome applications.For instance Scribus or Blender run very smoothly, whereas Nautilus, Rhythmbox, Gimp or Inkscape, to name a few, suffer from those horrible lags.I'm pretty sure it's not a driver problem, I'm using the latest nvidia-current drivers, and I tried everything : disabling compiz, disabling metacity compositing, using nouveau, using latest kernels, using xorg server 1.8. No change.
So I know the problem only affects native gnome apps, but now how can I find which package causes this mess ?I just installed a few repos to have some recent graphic apps (gimp, inkscape, openshot, scribus... that's it), but I can't see in what way they could have messed with my system.
Whenever I want to print a document from within a Gnome application (e.g. Evince, Evolution, etc.) the printing dialogue has the wrong printer selected. I'm in a network that has multiple printers connected, and one of them I set as "standard" in system-config-printer. This is working fine in programs like OpenOffice. Whenever I want to print something here, the printing dialogue has the standard printer selected. Not so for Gnome applications, here the (different) dialogue always has another printer selected (always the same one by the way). Now I can print just fine, but it's annoying having to choose the right printer everytime.

Hi
I'm using Gnome 2.3 under 11.3 x64.
Whenever I minimise an app, it disapperas from the taskbar. I've fixed it by installing the window selector; however, it only works for apps running in my main monitor. Anything on the external monitor doesn't show.
How do I fix this?
And a Merry Christmas to all!
I'm trying to install a minimal Gnome setup without any of the usually installed apps. Last time I tried this it worked fine but that was a couple of years ago (see this thread if you're interested). The closest I've got so far is to install a CLI system from the alternate install CD and then run:
Code:
sudo aptitude update
sudo aptitude -y full upgrade
sudo aptitude -y install xorg gdm gnome-core plymouth-theme-ubuntu-logo ubuntu-artwork jockey-gtk network-manager synaptic
The problem is that one of these packages (I think that it's gnome-core) installs Epiphany, Evince, Evolution, Gwibber and Ubuntu One which I don't want. how to get a minimal system installed without these apps?
What desktop environment should i install to develop Gnome apps? As i cna see ,the required tools are
Anjuta - 3.0
Devhelp - 3.0
Glade - 3.10
and most of these versions are not available for ubuntu. Tell me what DE to have in order to do that!

Just upgraded to Fedora 15 this afternoon, and for the most part there weren't any serious issues with it (except for rpmfusion lagging on a F15 yum repo). I installed the XFCE spin, and a lot of GNOME-specific apps don't respect my GTK+ theme at all. Screenshot: [URL]... On the left are two "XFCE" apps (Mousepad and Task Manager), on the right are two GNOME apps (gedit and the NetworkManager "Connection Information" window). Is there an easy way to fix this? I have a custom Murrine theme set, but the problem is still there using the built-in themes such as Glossy too.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI don't want to install alacarte to do this. I've copied the .desktop files from /usr/share/applications to ~/.local/share/applications that I don't want appearing in the gnome 3 applications list (e.g., email settings for evolution), and added 'NoDisplay=true' to the end of each desktop file. Restarted gnome shell, even tried logging out and back in, but they still appear there. Previously, in gnome2, desktop files under the home dir superceded the global directory. Do I need to edit them directly as root to effect the changes, or could this be a selinux problem?
