Hello not found! It's Age of Kings!

Hello everybody,

I'm running Wine 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 13.10, I've installed AoK, the game plays fine, except that I cannot get to group units with the CTRL+number hotkey, and before you start...

No clue? :(

Hello everybody,

I'm running Xubuntu 13.10 on a HP Pavillon gseries laptop, and the power status icon on the notification area says that the adapter isn't plugged in. But the battery is indeed...

Hello everybody,

Since I upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bit), from 12.04 (64 bit), aMule cannot access anymore my customized download & temporary directories on a removable eSata drive. Actually it...

Hi there,

I do have album images in the same directory as the songs, but somehow Rhythmbox just don't get it. Should I give them a particular name? They told me I just had to drag & drop those...

Hi Temüjin,
My output is:

ffmpeg: ffdec_escape124: FFmpeg Escape 124 decoder
ffmpeg: ffdec_ape: FFmpeg Monkey's Audio decoder
ffmpeg: ffdemux_ape: FFmpeg Monkey's Audio demuxer...

Hi there,

I'm running Rhythmbox on Ubuntu 12.04, I'm experiencing a buggy reproduction of ape format. Even after having installed the Monkeys' Audio codec and relevant needed packages from the...

Wonderful!!! I simulated a crash and with
metacity --replace & unity-2d-shell & unity-2d-panel Crash Handler started Unity 2d, I can see the sidebar, the upper panel and the window borders. Almost...

Yeah, but metacity alone won't provide me with a working desktop environment. I crashed Compiz on purpose to test the Crash Handler and it effectively started metacity but this alone doesn't suffice...

Hi,

I shut down Compiz on purpose and, indeed there's no way to get the terminal opened without Compiz. Are you sure it's possible to get back to the login screen in the worst-case scenario,...

Yeah, as I was saying. Just curious: which DE is it possible to load on top of metacity? Maybe GNOME?

And to conclude: which command line do you suggest I should add to Crash Handler > Alternative...

Thanks stinkeye, that explains lots of things, but I still don't understand what's the use for that blue icon of Compiz Fusion on my sidebar, which does nothing. Shouldn't it be placed on the...

OK, I installed fusion but I just have a blue icon on the side bar (not the notification zone as expected) that always says installation in progress and I cannot do anything with it. ](*,)

About...

Hi Simian Man,

No, it doesn't crash normally, only when I tease Compiz :tongue: with strange options that sometimes don't work. Otherwise it's just fine, but I'd like to test its limits without...

OK, now I finally understand, at least. But, it's a vicious circle: how can I log out and re-log in if there's no desktop environment? :biggrin: That affects also your suggestion of making use of...

Besides, metacity +unity2d doesn't work, it gives me some error messages which unfortunately I cannot copy/paste because there is no side panel. It's true the upper bar appears but the shut-down...

OK, but pardon my ignorance, what's the need for metacity if I have to start also unity2d? I thought metacity would be a stripped-down window manager, like XFCE, I'm puzzled. :-k

Hi zombifier25!

All right, so Window Manager Command Line should looke like this:

metacity --replace & unity-2d-panel & unity-2d-shell

Correct?

Hi there

I have Compiz 1:0.9.7.8-0ubuntu1 on Ubuntu 12.04, so it should theoretically support previews of minimized windows, I even turned on the option: Keep previews of minimized windows on...

Hi there,

In Group & Tab Windows SUPER+S in used to select windows, but it is used also by Expo to display the workspaces. Naturally, I told Compiz to disable this shortcut of Expo after turning...

How can I save my work if there is no window manager? I thought I'd get something like the old GNOME or XFCE in Lubuntu, with an upper bar containing all the menus. This way I can't even find the...

OK, there's a still a problem. I tried to execute metacity --replace in a terminal and... gulp! The side bar and upper bar of Unity disappear and there's nothing that replace them!!! I'm forced to...

:roll: LOL :mrgreen:

Thanks

OK, I would like to familiarize with it in case of an actual crash, is there a way to start it manually?

Thanks
