This issue just popped up one day, and I can't think of anything that I upgraded or changed. It work one day, and then it didn't. I've done a fresh install of 10.04, and even switched to Linux Mint 9...
Hello. I am looking for a way to (via bash script) set a custom directory icon for a number of directories. All of these directories contain a "cover.jpg" image. I can accomplish this manually by...
Maybe everyone else figured it out too, but it took me a while to do this and I found very little help online.
I wanted to customize my "Guest" session's default appearance (i.e. icon theme,...
Did you simply copy and paste what I had? If so, you may try searching for the file named "press_to_select" and making sure that is is located in the same place on your machine as it is on...
Figured it out...if anybody else wants to know.
First, open as root: /etc/gdm/Init/Default
Just above the final "exit 0", I added :
echo -n 1 | tee...
I found the command:
echo -n 1 | sudo tee /sys/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/press_to_select
This command makes my trackpoint work as desired as "Press to Select". There are two problems...
Hello, I have an IBM X31 with internal Atheros wireless that I'm trying to make work with the Fn+F5 wireless toggle. I can find NO commands that will kill my wireless (i.e. ifdown ath0, as root). If...
Intrepid Ibex installed and up to date. If I create a file, let's say via gedit, and save it to a directory, Nautilus does not automatically update the directory with it's new contents. It requires...
Hello, when I am using Rhythmbox it displays "SongTitle by ArtistName from AlbumTitle" both in the player and in the tooltip on the tray icon. I want to remove the "from AlbumTitle" part of that...
I need to completely redo my rhythmbox setup I think. I had moved some custom icons into /usr/share/rhythmbox/icons etc...and they didn't work out right. So i deleted them and restarted rhythmbox,...
Exactly what I needed! Thanks for the help. Now to find a way to make the screensaver settings button in the settings manager open xscreensaver-demo...I am a man on a mission.
I am using 8.04.2 and have both GNOME and Xfce available as sessions. In GNOME my screensaver follows the settings I input. In Xfce, however, when I use the screensaver settings menu it doesn't...
Not a total fix but I'm happier. I used the "xfce4-datetime-plugin" instead of the regular panel clock. It allowed me to make the time bold, and have the date available. I just wish it would let me...
So I'm toying with XFCE now...I like it, but I want to customize my clock in the panel. In GNOME I went to the gconf editor and under apps>panel>clock something I could enter a custom format (and...
That's it! How I missed it I'll never know. Happen to know if it has to be replaced with another SVG, or would PNG suffice?
I want to change the little icon that pops up as I hover over an audio file. (The one that looks like a speech bubble with a music note in it.) Does anyone know where that icon is located or what...
I'm in need of some help. Upon a clean install of 8.04.2, I ran the update manager and got an error "packages can't be authenticated". I haven't added any third party repositories, nothing but the...
Hello. I have a custom icon for Pidgin and it is in use everywhere except for when my "Buddy List" is visible on my Window List, and as the window menu button (which I have deactivated). Does anyone...
I wish I could say I had the idea first, but I didn't. I got the fever from someone else mentioning it, but now I feel that I have to figure it out. I just recently got my wife and brother converted...
I tried that also, and it gets the same result as above with an error message before opening,
"Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'.
Without the GNOME settings manager...
Hello, I am trying to make apps running as root (Synaptic, gksu nautilus, etc.) have a distinctly root-ish look. I was successful in part of this by enabling the root login function and using the GUI...
I use my conky to advise of my network status. It references the /proc/net/dev_snmp6 directory to display the active interface Wireless or Wired). I have a problem though. On a fresh boot, this...
I'm looking for a way to automatically start a recording at 1300hrs and stop at 1600hrs using the line-in input. Also I need to save the file as RadioShowNameDDMMYYY.ogg. Trying to figure out command...
Wow. Great help, and so quick. I guess my only remaining question is this...Will the swap use percentage gradually go back down on its own, or just keep filling up till I reboot (currently at 7%)?...
I've searched thoroughly (I think) to find a satisfying answer or fix and have been unsuccessful. My "problem" is this...my conky keeps me abreast of my Swap usage and after about a 4 day uptime my...
