<p>It's been an issue for quite some time to set the number of different desktops (or workspaces if you like) in the new Ubuntu Natty Narwhal (using unity). </p> <p>Some guys figured out a way to overcome it by using the compiz-config(CCSM). For some reason it seems that the CCSM doesn't really work for me. I change the number of desktops, and the expo but it won't work.</p>

<p>My system is using the Ambiance theme in Ubuntu Natty. Everything works correctly except for Nautilus, which appears to have been deprived from its theme. <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/i01e4.png" alt="Grey nautilus doesn&#39;t look healthy"></p> <p>Can anyone help me restore it to the default Ambiance theme? (I've tried setting other themes but Nautilus is still grey)</p> <p>If I open Nautilus with 'sudo' from the terminal, this bug isn't present and the theme is shown correctly.</p> <p>I thought the <a href="https://askubuntu.com/questions/21305/desktop-forgets-theme">Desktop forgets theme?</a> answer would solve my problem, but after restarting, the theme-less Nautilus is back.</p> <p>Something I noticed is that this problem is present in Nautilus and with Nautilus only. As I said, if I run Nautilus as root the problem isn't present, only when running Nautilus as a normal user</p>

<p>I haven't been able to Google up any info on this: <strong>Why doesn't Unity use gnome-panel?</strong></p> <p>Unity's panel has no functionality that can't be implemented on top of gnome-panel (witness previous versions of Ubuntu Netbook). The new panel is missing a bunch of features (chiefly system monitors and a decent clock applet), and since gnome-panel applets aren't supported, we'll have to wait for entirely new stuff to be written--in an environment, I understand, that is too crippled to be able to design nice meters and such.</p>

<p>Everything worked fine in previous Ubuntu 10.10. I installed new Natty 11.04 and wireless started behaving poorly.</p> <p>The performance is so random, sometimes it works fine and sometimes, all it does is connect to the wireless AP and just stall.

<p>While upgrading to Ubuntu 11.04, my google-gadgets framework was removed. I thought at the time this is because it's deprecated because there's some alternative integrated in the new unity framework, but I couldn't find any.</p> <p>Are there any RSS/clock/etc. widgets in Unity? If not - why did the upgrade uninstalled my google gadgets app? What do I do now?</p> <p>Thanks.</p>

<p>I would like to stick to GRUB since it seems to be more actively developed and the entries are automatically updated after a kernel update. However I love the look of the Burg themes (especially sora_clean).</p> <p>Are there themes available for GRUB2 which have a similar look? I especially would like a "folded view", showing only one entry per OS (by default), and a the installed OSes being shown as symbols, instead of listed text.</p> <p>I would also be grateful for installation instructions along with the theme suggestions.</p>

I have made changes to power management to no avail. Also had the same issue when I had 10.10 installed before upgrading.</p> <p>Is this a driver issue of a Linux setting problem?

<p>I was making some changes in CCSM and I activated "rotate cube" plugin which asked me for resolving some conflicts &amp; disabled all of them but with 11.04 something related to Unity were also disabled. I tried to restore it to defaults and then it all got screwed up.</p> <p>And now if I am using the new Unity login, I just end up with my desktop, stuff on desktop and a mouse cursor.</p> <p>I am able to go to terminal (tty) <code>Ctrl + Alt + F1</code> but I am not sure what I need to do to fix it.

<p>I have a weird behavior of my Bluetooth indicator, which does not allow me to use my Bluetooth device.</p> <p>When I plug-in my Trendnet TBW-107UB in my Acer Extensa 5635 with Ubuntu 11.04, the indicator correctly appears (gnome-bluetooth). But when I click on it, the only three lines that appear are</p> <ul> <li>Bluetooth: On <em>(in gray)</em></li> <li>Turn Off Bluetooth</li> <li>Preferences</li> </ul> <p>Though I should see other lines like "Visible" for instance.</p> <p>I tried Preferences, but it claims that "Bluetooth is turned off", and clicking on the big button "Turn on Bluetooth" has no consequence.</p> <p>How do I make my device work? Thank you for your answers, dear community.</p>

<p>Yesterday I upgraded to 11.04 and I found out the new Linux kernel 2.6.38 did not work. The maverick kernel however did. Searching at askubuntu I found some tips which suggested to disable quiet splash in the grub config (<code>/etc/default/grub</code>).</p> <p>I supposed it had something to do with the video driver, so I disabled the nvidia proprietary driver and rebooted. This didn't really work and eventually I ended up with a the non-graphical tty1.</p> <p>With <code>startx</code> I tried to start the graphical environment again, but this resulted in an error like:</p> <pre><code>Failed to load module "nvidia" (module does not exist, 0) </code></pre> <p>After that I booted in recovery mode and reinstalled the nvidia driver again, after the classic gnome worked again, but Unity doesn't work yet. Also in classic all (compiz) effects are disabled.</p> <p>I guess I have to get that working again and Unity will work after that too, question is: how?</p>

<p>Is there a GUI-based program on Ubuntu that compares two files line by line and indicates where two lines do not match? If not, any console app that does the same thing?</p>

<p>I've tested Ubuntu 11.04 clean installs in two computers, an eeepc netbook and a hp pavilion t3010.es, which is an old desktop computer (6 or 7 years) with the specs of a netbook approximately. The issue is that 11.04 runs on these two much slower than 10.10 did, almost as Windows 7 in the desktop pc. By slower I consider a general decrease on the overall performance: longer boot time, longer log in, longer startup time on almost every application I use (chromium, nautilus, banshee,... common use ones), much longer update time... I tried both unity and classic desktop modes, with barely no difference in performance on both. Is this normal? Thanks!</p>

<p>There's a funny joke going through my class: Wait for a colleague to leave his laptop and restart the laptop / change user. Then, at login screen (GDM), enable all possible accessibility features and enjoy an unusable laptop...</p> <p>Is it possible to hide the little accessibility icon at the lower right edge? I've once tried to change the theme somehow, but didn't succeed.</p> <p>Thank you Tom</p> <p>PS: Yep, I was the first to do that funny joke. :)</p>

<p>Okay. So I did a clean install of Natty yesterday. The problem is that it freezes randomly. I can still move my mouse, but not do anything. I can also go into the terminal, but doing a gdm restart doesn't help either (makes the terminal running the GUI display some info about how it shut down the network manager).</p> <p>So is there a way of solving this?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>EDIT: As suggested, filed a bug report: <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/775060" rel="nofollow">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/775060</a></p>

<p>This problem occurs with Ubuntu Classic desktop not Ubuntu Classic (No Effects) desktop.</p> <p>The windows bear some similarity to maximised windows under the new Unity desktop where the top border merges with the bar at the top of the screen. I can't stop this effect. Launching a new window causes it to appear at the top left of the screen with no top border so I can't move it to expose the window below.</p> <p>I have read the post of a similar problem with a netbook under 10.10 where the culprit is a program called maximus. I have tried to find it in the list of processes by ps augx | grep maximus but it is not there; neither does it appear in the list of start up programs nor the list of current processes in the system monitor. So I guess it is not maximus that is causing the problem.</p>

However I cannot use the Ubuntu One name in a script as the resulting script when run reports 'no such file or directory', presumably due to the space in the name Ubuntu One.

Even after Rescan Music Library.</p> <p>Any idea why?</p> <p>I can see when I update an album or track it will update the file and folder names and move them from sub-directory I have them in to the Music folder.</p> <p>So</p> <ul> <li>How can I have my entire library's folders renamed?</li> </ul> <p>and</p> <ul> <li>How can I maintain the subdirectories I have now?

<p>I've noticed a couple surprising blue icons in the new Unity panel.</p> <p>I think I noticed the envelope glowed blue when I had a new message, and I think the BFB glowed blue when I had a wiggling application, but I can't be sure. I even think the volume indicator glowed blue at some point, but I can't get it to do so again.</p> <p>I'm sensing there's some subtlety here that I'm missing. Is there a list/explanation? </p>

<p><br> Today I tried to speed up my computer disabling unwanted processes. In system monitor I can see there 150 processes. Almost all of them were sleeping but still consuming a little but memory.<br> I've checked many tutorials, how to disable unwanted processes (I have used sysv-rc-conf, boot-up manager, renamed services in /ect/rc*.d), but all of them are old and some files seems have been deprecated or renamed. After reboot, in system monitor there are still about 150 processes sleeping. What am I doing wrong, or maybe I do not understand something.<br> If it so, please explain me what is the need of these sleeping processes and why are not they running ?<br> Thank you!</p>

<p>I attempted to sleep the computer and it doesn't even turn off the screen, it just blank and the fans continue running loudly. The only way to get it back on is to hold down the power button until it shuts down completely then power on.</p> <p>The touchpad is constantly jumping around and navigation is incredibly hard. It's a clickpad which is probably the issue. Right click is non-existent, though I read you can tap the lower right corner for it - you have to be incredibly precise. It's a massive pain. Click and drag rarely works as well. I can't find current synaptics drivers anywhere. (I've also seen the fix that enables right click but ruins vertical scrolling, that'd drive me crazy - is there anything else??)</p> <p>I was hoping the issues would be fixed in the brand new version of Ubuntu but I guess not, I'm tired of windows but it seems to be impossible to use linux on a HP Envy.</p> <p>Any help would be greatly appreciated,<br> Michael</p>

<p>I'm experiencing problems with the 'Ubuntu classic' interface, after I recently updated my ubuntu to version 11.04.</p> <p>First of all, a small glitch. Just look at this screenshot of the dropdown menu that appears when I right click the clock applet (but also any other gnome applet).</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/2pLNg.png" alt="Screenshot"></p> <p>Look at the gradients...</p> <p>Second, there's a more severe issue that I'm not able to debug. Sometimes, on an occasional apparently random basis, I cannot logout using the commands provided by Gnome GUI. When I choose "logout", completely nothing happens. The same if I choose "restart" or "shutdown". Last time I had to shutdown opening a Terminal and using "sudo shutdown -h now".</p> <p>Is there any way I can inspect this mysterious behavior?</p>

<p>It seems that Ubuntu 11.04 (and Lubuntu, and probably others too) seem to detect a DVI monitor even if I don't have anything other than this VGA monitor plugged in. It never happened in earlier version of Ubuntu. </p> <p>I'm not using a laptop though, I'm using a desktop with an Intel Atom. Maybe thats why it's detecting (or trying to detect) another "monitor"</p> <p>Any way how to fix this?</p>

<p>I'm trying to perform an update using the normal sudo apt-get update. However my main ethernet does not have access to the outside world (long story I think I purposely did this and forgot how I did it to undo it). I have another network card in there that I plug in for just to get internet. When I ping using the second network card I can ping www.google.com and with the first I can not. So after that long story, apt-get will only try to use the first network card and fail to get a reply back from the internet. I was wondering if there was a way to force apt-get to use a certain eth to retrieve updates?</p>

<p>I installed Ubuntu 11.04 yesterday using the Wubi installer and I've noticed that a few of my programs will disappear when I minimize them. For example, I can't minimize Eclipse because it will disappear and I won't be able the load a 2nd one because the 1st is using my workspace (if you're familiar with Eclipse you know that you can't use the same workplace twice as the same time). I also just noticed that if I minimize a terminal then it will disappear as well.</p> <p>Does anyone have any idea why this is happening and what, if anything, I can do to prevent it?</p>

<p>I did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 and everything went fine.<br> The sound was working without a problem with the on-board device <em>Azalia (Intel HDA)</em> from the <em>ASUS Crosshair IV Formula</em> motherboard.</p> <p>Then, i installed the proprietary drivers for the <em>AMD Radeon HD 6870</em> through this <a href="http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Natty_Installation_Guide" rel="nofollow">guide</a>.<br> Now the sound is gone.</p> <p>If i go to <strong>Sound Preferences</strong>, on the <strong>Output</strong> options i see two devices for sound output: </p> <ul> <li><em>Internal Audio Analog Stereo</em> (selected)</li> <li><em>Barts HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6800 Series]</em></li> </ul> <p>Is there anything i can do?<br> If you need any more information, let me know.</p> <p>Thanks!</p>

<p>At some time, Gwibber is causing a ghost process, which causes an increase in consumption of the processor, so increasing temperature. Already deactivated accounts, he had configured it, but to no avail. This occurrence continues. That bothers me, because I need to kill these processes opened by Gwibber of nowhere.

<p>I am running a dual-boot system with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.10. Initially I allocated about 20GB for my Ubuntu partition; however, I quickly ran out of that space and am now looking to expand my partition. Currently my NTFS partition (450GB) has about 130GB of free space. I tried using GParted to shrink the partition but encountered the following error. I booted into windows so I could run <code>chkdsk</code> but the countdown freezes at 1 upon reboot. I tried multiple methods to resolve that issue but nothing seems to work. Finally I gave up, and now I just want to know what is the best way for me to force GParted to shrink the partition regardless of the errors. I don't really have anything important and I don't mind risking the data. I just don't want to wipe the entire NTFS partition because I don't have a Windows install CD and might require Windows later on for some programs. I tried using <code>sudo ntfsresize</code> but that spews out the same error as GParted... Any ideas?</p> <pre>Check and repair file system (ntfs) on /dev/sda2 00:00:09 ( ERROR ) calibrate /dev/sda2 00:00:00 ( SUCCESS ) path: /dev/sda2 start: 36944325 end: 976771119 size: 939826795 (448.14 GiB) check file system on /dev/sda2 for errors and (if possible) fix them 00:00:09 ( ERROR ) ntfsresize -P -i -f -v /dev/sda2 ntfsresize v2.0.0 (libntfs 10:0:0) Device name : /dev/sda2 NTFS volume version: 3.1 Cluster size : 4096 bytes Current volume size: 481191318016 bytes (481192 MB) Current device size: 481191319040 bytes (481192 MB) Checking for bad sectors ...

<p>I use Teamspeak everyday but the teamspeak files are on another partition that i have to load manually before running teamspeak from the Desktop shortcut. Without obviously loading the partition with fstab, how can i load the partition (auto mount it) when i click on the link to teamspeak. For example, i click on the teamspeak shortcut, this checks that the shortcut points to a not mounted partition, it loads the partition and then executes the program.</p> <p>Is there a way to do this?</p>

<p>I have an Radeon HD 4870 video card, and I have just update to Ubuntu 11.04. Before I was using radeon free video driver, and all hardware acceleration I used was to watch movies on my TV. My TV is permanently attached to the PC, alongside the monitor. I have configured X to have 2 screens, the main one is the monitor. The second one, the TV, is only used to play movies and such. Free driver sucks at gaming, so I missed (but not that much) being able to play some games in my old installation.</p> <p>Now that I have updated Ubuntu, free driver still sucks at games, but provided a fluid and awesome desktop performance, with all eye candy and special effects compiz is capable of. On the other hand, video playing performance is worse than before. V-sync no longer works, so there is a constant horizontal tear, and periodically video refresh freezes for half a second, making it extremely annoying to watch a movie with an interruption every few minutes.</p> <p>So I have tried the proprietary driver. Good game performance, I was able to play Penumbra: Overtrue, Trine, Shadowgrounds, Enenemy Territory: Quake Wars, etc. All cool advanced shaders and special effects works. Including movie playback, no periodical freezes and no horizontal tear due screen refresh gives me perfect movie performance. But desktop sucks. I can not use compiz because it is slow, bumpy and fullscreen does not works. But if I do not use compiz, I can have at most one OpenGL application at a time -- and it mus be fullscreen. I can no longer watch a movie on TV while my mother uses the terminal to surf the net, because everything except the OpenGL application freezes. All worse if the OpenGL application is windowed, it won't display what it is supposed to unless it is bellow another X window, what makes the OpenGL to render <strong>over</strong> that window, a total mess.</p> <p>When I bought this card people said: buy Radeon because it will support free drivers. Well, radeon free drivers lacks manpower, OpenGL is incomplete and my card has always been underused. Proprietary drivers sucks. Now I want nVidia, at least they don't lie saying they will be well supported by free software.</p> <p>I am frustrated. I do not know what to do. Do you have Ubuntu 11.04 with Radeon? Does it work? Do you play? Do you use OpenGL applications? What driver do you use? For now I am using proprietary driver (fglrx), without desktop effects and refraining from using windowed OpenGL applications. Now I am happy applications are not taking advantage of hardware acceleration.</p>

<p>I don't always know the name of a file I'd like to run. Often, I'll know the name of its parent folder, or its parent's parent's folder.</p> <p>This was easy to work through in Gnome-Do. I simply search for the name of the parent folder, then navigate using the arrow keys to the file I want within that folder and hit enter to open the file.</p> <p>I can't figure out how to do this in Unity. I can only open the folder, and cannot seem to navigate within a folder's contents to open the file directly. Is there a way to do so? Thanks.</p> <p>*****Edited to add user stories, deleted screenshots since imgur killed the images (10/2)*****</p> <p>"I don't remember the name of the song I'm thinking of.

<p>In the Unity Dash, when I click "Find Files", it has two sections: "Downloads" and "Favorite Folders", but the "Downloads" section is showing files from the desktop instead of "~/Downloads", which is where Chrome downloads files by default.</p> <p>Is there any way to change what shows up there? It seems like the actual Downloads directory would be a lot more useful.</p>
