The space between images is too large when I zoom in to see them better in the file manager (Nautilus?):
As you can see with my mad Gimp skills, you could easily fit 300% more content (5 instead of 2) if the margins were tighten for the same zoom level:
So, is there any way to reduce this separation between files?
I installed the Japanese language some time ago to attempt to improve my Japanese, however since I had not good enough language I reverted it back. The problem is that now, the programs that I run using sudo as gparted are installed in Japanese. How can I revert this?
I recently bought a Zenbook prime of 128GB and I bought a microSD to SD adapter for macbook air (because of the low profile). It's working great with my SDHC that I had on the phone. I'm thinking about buying this microSD card. However, is SDXC supported in Linux? and is SDHC fully supported? Now I know it just works, but which one is preferred for Linux?
The speed is not that important since it's mainly for music, documents and pictures (programs and videos will be in the main SSD).
As we're on it, would higher capacity, like 128GB micro SDXC make any difference? If I buy any of them, I will write about them here, but I wanted to know if anyone had experience on microSDXC or read any review on these cards. I couldn't find anything relevant about Linux/Ubuntu.
According to Sandisk website, the differences are:
SDHC capacities range from 4GB to 32GB
Default Format: FAT32
SDXC capacities range from 64GB to 2TB
Default Format: exFAT
The section about operating systems that support exFAT File System does not even mention Linux. Furthermore, I'm interested about exFAT on SD cards, not about simple exFAT support on Linux, in case they differ.
I'm going to a LAN tomorrow, however, they all use windows and we're planning on playing some games that are only for windows. I have a laptop with a pretty SSD of 60GB with Ubuntu that works perfect so far. However, with a partition of windows+game, the space might become a problem. So I was thinking about doing this, but wanted to know if it was going to work before spending 2+ hours by asking here.
I have my original 256GB HDD. If I install windows there from the actual laptop, can I swap then to Ubuntu seamlessly by just swapping the HDD for the SSD? The only information I could find in google was changing the HDD from one computer to another, which would not work for the devices installed, but since this would use 2 different disks for the same computer (physically changing them), I thought it might work.
Will Ubuntu and Windows run after installing Windows in that way? My main concern has to do with the BIOS getting modified by a not so play along Windows and not letting me boot Ubuntu then, but I'm not sure how that works and I am not aware of other potential problems. Are you?
Notes:
Do you know how to do it? I know how to do it from my keyboard (Alt+F4), I know how to do it with my mouse (click that X), and I also know that kill X should kill the process with the id X (and killall Y should kill the process named Y). But I want to know how to kill the active window from terminal.
Therefore, from what I stated above, a valid answer would also be to get the id of the active window.
Right now I'm implementing this function from xte (simulating Alt+F4), but I'd like to know if there's a way that doesn't imply installing another app. Thank you all.
EDIT. Here is the full script. First you enable 'show mouse when Ctrl is pressed', then you add this script to Commands in CompizConfig and binding to top-right corner. When you touch the top-right corner, a small notification around the mouse is shown. If you do nothing, the active window will close after 1 second. However, if you touch the corner again within the second, the active window will not be closed.
xte 'key Control_R'; if [ -f ~/.fcont ]; then rm -f -r ~/.fcont; else touch ~/.fcont; sleep 1; if [ -f ~/.fcont ]; then xkill -id `xprop -root _NET_ACTIVE_WINDOW | cut -d\# -f2`; rm -f -r ~/.fcont; fi fi
Note that I still use the xte app named before since this question I made some time ago was never answered.
There's an option for Ubuntu's mouse that says 'Show position of the mouse when the Control key is pressed.'. This function is required permanently enabled for a certain script I run, but on the other side it makes Blender 'Control' key not to work (as in Ctrl+Z, which is annoying) nor in some other apps (like the game Limbo). So, how can I solve this problem?
There are three solutions I can think of, but I don't know how to implement any of them.
show-mouse in a terminal would be great. Couldn't find anything through google though.Thank you so much!
PS, the solutions here didn't work for me.
