Currently on KDE 5 the KRunner dialogue brought up by Alt-F2 key, is not focused solely on desktop windows. It brings shortcuts to programs, search results etc, as well as the active desktop windows.
Other some alternative programs focused exclusively on window switching task, or can KRunner be configured to be restricted to desktop windows alone in certain contexts?
Microsoft Windows enables you to activate a window's system menu using the Alt+Spacebar key combination and do so for an internal window ie (MDI) via Alt+- combinations. It is equivalent to clicking the icon on the application's title bar to activate the menu.
When I press Alt+Spacebar in KDE, the KRunner dialogue (Alt+Spacebar) pops up.
Does KDE have an equivalent for the Alt+Spacebar and if not how can I change the mapping from KRunner?
Where are the settings for disabling Nepomuk and Akonadi in the UI?
It used to be possible to disable Akonadi and Nepomuk from the desktop UI, but I can't seem to find them anymore.
Have they been removed?
I am using Ubuntu 12.04 with the KDE 4.13
Does Ubuntu 12.04 have a stock sounds folder with some sounds I can use to set my email notification and other kind of notifications?
I am looking for something centralized, like in /usr/share not a custom one in my own home folder.
How do you drag stencil symbols from the palette into the drawing with Calligra Flow 2.8?
I am just trying to drag and drop and it doesn't work. Is there some mode switching step I have missed?
I want to restrict the packages installable from a repo, eg restrict some packages to the main Ubuntu repos, even if they are available from launchpad or some other third party repos, something like pinning some packages to certain repository.
Normally the repository last added repo takes over all the packages which were available in other earlier repos.
I use lot of x2go sessions and I find the x2goclient in Ubuntu rather wasteful of screen space.
Is there an alternative more streamlined version of the x2goclient? I am not interested in an alternative to x2go itself, just an alternative to the client it is bundled with.
By alternative client I mean an alternative session launcher and manager
When I open Konsole the settings in .profile are not executed, and it means the ~/bin is not added to the PATH.
Is there a way to get Konsole to do that?
PS. Is there a way to tell whether Konsole is running bash or dash
Does the search field on the application launcher depend on Nepomuk?
I had to disable Nepomuk on shared systems because it takes too much CPU and I/O and I have noticed that on some systems the search field for programs does not show newly installed programs. Does that function depend on Nepomuk file indexing?
I was trying to fix some settings on the taskbar panel and all the tray icons, such as the clock, the clipboard, the search service etc have all now moved to the left side of the taskbar. Is there some way to get them back to the left?
I have tried changing the alignment via the Panel Settings>More Settings>Panel Alignment menu, but that doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Where and how are the Ubuntu equivalent of your personal Windows configuration stored? Something akin to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run as well as the Start Up menu.
I have spotted the System --> Preferences --> Startup Applications menu entry which seems to do some of it, but it doesn't appear to cover most of the things.
I am more concerned with those which a pertinent to a graphics login, either directly at the computer or remotely through NX or x2go for instance, as well as those that apply to every user such as this xrandr and those the user might configure personally
For instance I have got an xrandr script to set my screen resolution and I also need to configure Firefox to allow me to use multiple profiles. Currently I do all from the gnome terminal after logging onto the desktop.
Is there some guide where I can configure all these settings at logon time? The main thing is the should only apply to logging to Ubuntu or Gnome destkop, not logging on at the console.
I am developing a set of scripts, which I want to be present for all users, when I set up a server. But I don't want them in the standard locations like /usr[/local]/[bin],[sbin] etc.
Is there some existing convention for where such scripts should be placed?
I have noticed that some of my files have an asterisk at end.
Does the asterisk at the end have any particular significance? I think they are mostly executable and displayed in green by the ls command.
You will see that ./bkmp* and ./bkmp0* have an asterisk at the end. They are executable bash scripts.
Here's my output:

This seems to be so obvious and simple but I can't see any quick way to achieve it in Lucid. Because Nautilus does not appear in a menu there seems to be no obvious way of right-clicking and showing it on the panel.
