I want to remove all the .jpg files from my Music folder in order to save room. My Music folder contains subfolders, and I would like to know if there is a command to remove all the .jpg files from all these folders regardless of their level. Thanks for your help!
I'm using Gnome Shell with the following extensions: weather, dock, window-navigator, user-theme, alternative-status-menu, noa11y. I checked "Have file manager handle the desktop" in Gnome Tweak Tool, at first the desktop icons were shown regularly, but upon reboot they went awol. Is there anything else I need to do or could it be a conflict with any of my extensions? Thanks for your time.
I downloaded a couple greeters for LightDM, but I have not figured out how to enable them. Is there a way to switch greeter, either by graphical or command-line method?. I do not intend to change display manager, nor the background, but to change the layout and appearance of the login screen through a different "theme" (greeter is the name for LightDm themes). Thanks for your time.
I need a notification applet/daemon for Gnome Shell (on 11.10) that supports both Gmail and Hotmail. I tried mail-notification which is supposed to work with Hotmail, but I get an error and only Gmail works properly; I also tried Mailnag but it does not seem to run at all. Are there any viable alternatives? I know there are some Firefox extensions that can do this but I use a different browser. Thanks for your suggestions!
I'm running a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 running Gnome Shell, everything working as it should.
I just installed Midori from regular Ubuntu repositories using Synaptic Package Manager, but when l attempt to launch it, despite the appearance of the Midori icon and the "whirl" in the top panel, the browser does not start. Switching GUI does not change the effect.
As requested, starting Midori from the terminal generates the following output:
giulio@giulio-laptop:~$ midori midori: symbol lookup error: midori: undefined symbol: webkit_web_view_get_selected_text
I have to write a dissertation for my university. I have to respect various format guidelines, and my professor uses MS Word on his workstation. In my experience, LibreOffice has been faulty when it comes to MS Word compatibility, with many incorrect parameters (happened earlier this month). I can't afford a MS Office licence to install it in Wine, so I'd like to know if there are any alternatives for Linux.
I use Gnome and Xfce sessions, but whereas in Gnome I have application shortcuts on the panel, in Xfce I prefer having application launchers on the desktop.
I don't need the desktop launcher in Gnome, so I would like to have them hidden in the Ubuntu Classic session. I tried to append the OnlyShowIn=XFCE option at the bottom of the .desktop files in the Desktop folder, but to no avail.
I installed the Ambiance Evolution Theme from a custom PPA, which overwrote the original Ambiance. Same for Midori, Flash and other apps. Is it advisable to downgrade these packages to the Ubuntu-provided versions before an upgrade?
As you can see, this blank Commands lens is now on my Unity Launcher, without installing any related software. It launches the Run a command dialog (like Alt+F2) but it has no icon...how did it get there? Is it related to recent Unity updates? Or maybe to some application? If so, how can I get rid of it, since there's no file under /usr/share/unity/places? Thanks for your time!
This is the example: I want to install elementary-desktop (from PPA), but it requires to remove esound in order to install pulseaudio (which I removed because it was causing problems with many apps). I already pinned both esound and pulseaudio and held them through sudo aptitude hold esound and sudo aptitude hold pulseaudio but, in Synaptic, the prompt still states that esound must be removed. Thanks in advance for your help!
I installed Lubuntu on my netbook and I'm wondering whether it is safe to install GNOME3 via PPA or if it will break the system just like in Ubuntu. My logical thought is that since there is no GNOME, there's nothing to break, but I' d like to have this confirmed. Thanks for your time!
I'd like to know which folder the Unity Launcher .desktop files are stored in, as they're not anymore in /.gconf/desktop and I need to add a custom application to the launcher bar (adding it in /usr/share/applications doesn't seem to be enough).
Where are the Unity Launcher .desktop files?
I'm about to purchase a laptop with this graphics card (cheap deal) but I read that ATI cards have issues or may even not work with Natty. Is this true? Is there a way to fix the eventual problem? Are proprietary drivers needed or the included drivers will do fine? Thanks a lot for your advice, if I get the laptop and can't run Unity, it would be pretty much a waste of money to me.
I long removed Firefox, Evolution, Brasero and other apps that originally came with Maverick. Will the upgrade bring them back? If so is there a way to prevent this? Also, will other 3rd party apps still work even if they're based on Maverick dependencies? Thanks for your help!
I'd like to try GNOME Shell on Ubuntu 10.10 again, after having discarded it due to the waste of space the non-configurable fonts were causing (I'm using a netbook). I read about GNOME Tweak Tool so I wondered if I could use it to customize the Shell interface. Any help appreciated.
I' m running 10.10 and I would like to upgrade to 11.04 as it hits Beta. Would performance be better with an installation through running the upgrade script or with a fresh install after a format?
I've installed Midori to work in an Elementary mockup. Midori works just fine, but, on a few domains, it opens mobile websites instead of the regular pages. A of now, this happens with gmail.com, facebook.com, paginegialle.it, and others; yet other websites which do have a mobile version, as gazzetta.it, show the regular version. I couldn't find a solution through settings and I didn't find any mention of this problem on forums or else, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Unity Dash shows some big buttons by hitting the Ubuntu logo: Internet, Mail, Games, Music. I'm currently using different programs than the original ones included in Ubuntu, but these buttons have become useless, not opening any application. Is there any way to fix this?
I've installed Unity 2d, and therefore I'm able to use the Launcher and Panel in standard Gnome Panel desktop. I would like to know whether there is a way to launch the Dash only, and if so, if it is possible to assign a shortcut to it. What I'm thinking of is a Wingpanel + Slingshot combo on Elementary or Gnome-Shell style 'Activities' button. Thanks for your help.
I've installed wingpanel, but as I launch it, the regular Gnome Panel won't disappear. I also tried wingpanel --replace but it doesn't change the situation. However, when executing killall gnome-panel, for those few seconds of a panel free desktop, the Wingpanel appears on the top right corner, just to disappear as Gnome Panel is restored. Any advice on how to make this work is appreciated.
