I would like to be able to unhide the Xfce panel by pressing a key instead of placing the mouse cursor at the edge of the screen.
I'm running Xubuntu 12.04 but updated to Xfce 4.10
I'd like to install Ubuntu on two drives, one with / and the other with /opt and /home. But I do not want /opt and /home to reside on separate partitions but on the same one. Is it possible to do during the installation?
I'd like to install the latest Moonlight version to use it with Google Chrome (not Chromium)
I wanted to test Cinnamon in my Xubuntu 12.04. After installing it, when I try to add a PPA it is added for "maya" not "precise". I purged Cinnamon PPA but it is still the same... what can I do about it?
PS poking around I guess I should edit /etc/lsb-release but could anyone post its default content?
Xubuntu has both notification area (system tray) and indicators. I prefer the first one, as it allows me to hide items. Is there any way to force the apps that support both (e.g. Tomboy, Dropbox etc) to display their icons in the system tray and not their indicators?
I'm trying to run Unity 2d in xubuntu, I installed the packages but when I try to run it I get
[FATAL] Settings schema 'com.canonical.Unity' is not installed
How can I get it to run? I'd like to install as little stuff as possible.
I would like to add a custom action in thunar, playing a content of a folder in Audacious. How can I do that?
I have installed the AMD driver in 12.04 using the Additional Drivers function. It works fine, fglrxinfo returns correct information, but it seems that there is no Catalyst Control Center, I tried installing fglrx-amdcccle, but still it does not appear when I search installed programs.
I have my /home on a BTRFS partition and I need to shrink it.
Unfortunately, Gparted does not have the resize option for this FS.
Can I resize it in any other way without losing my data?
Because of the high power usage I'd like to downgrade my kernel in Ubuntu 11.10 to the version used in 10.10 or 11.04. How can I do that and won't it cause any problems?
I updated to 11.10, reusing my home partition so also my Thunderbird profile folder and now I see that the Messaging Menu and Unity integration extension 0.8 is not installed.
I'd like to keep my profile and do not start a new one, how do I install this missing extension? It appears as installed on new profiles, so it is on the system.
On my netbook I'm running Xubuntu as it works much faster than Unity 2D. I'd like to have all the apps maximized and undecorated, is there any way to do that without Compiz?
Is there any way to prevent NotifyOSD (or XFCE-Notify) from displaying notifications from one particular application?
As far as I know Xubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 was not released due to some problems with the cd image, but will it be released later or is the beta1 going to be the next development release in 11.10 cycle? I can't find any info about that...
I see that Xubuntu has package Gnome-menus, but I cannot find the command to run the editor it should contain. I found a small editor but it does not allow new entries and alacarte tries to install whole Gnome...
So I'm looking for a menu editor that will allow me to:
- Add new launchers,
- Edit existing ones
- Move existing ones to different categories
- Create new categories
- Won't install bazillion dependencies :)
I'm looking for a dock supporting not only launchers but also a list of currently running apps that is fairly lightweight and suited for Lubuntu install.
I'm running Xubuntu with AWN and I would like to turn off all the XFCE panels, but it does not allow me to do so with the last one. Is there any way to do it?
Is there any compositing built in Lubuntu? I do not mean installing compiz but rather something simple like Metacity compositing to satisfy apps that require it.
If I try to set this option for a file on an external drive it just unmarks itself. Doing chmod +x has no effect. The drive is mounted with default options.
Using 11.04 I uninstalled Banshee from the Software Center, restarted the system but still it's visible in the sound menu. How can I get rid of it?
