I'm using linux fedora 12 dell inspiron 1545 . But today suddenly touch goes weird.

I can't click( say menu ) - but clicking on firefox tab closes it.
scrolling works.
I can put my MacBook into clamshell mode by just close it and sending some USB/Bluetooth signals.
However, sometimes I want to get into the mode directly without those actions. Is there no button or menu written "Get clamshell mode now"? Or utility?
I want a dock like MacOSX Leopard's, for my Windows 7.
Required features:
display all open windows, not just minimized ones
when I maximize windows, I don't want them to go under the dock. The bottom part of my screen should be empty except for the dock there.
a "start menu" button
a clock of some sort
So far I've tried RocketDock and RK Launcher. They lack some of the above.
In my Ubuntu 8.04 'Other' menu, it has 'OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime', 'Sun Java 5.0 Runtime' , 'Sun Java 6 Runtime'.
Can you please tell me where are these actually installed?
I can only fine 1, the OpenJDK :
$ which java
/usr/bin/java
$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)
How can I find the others?
Thank you.
Hello, my computer (a Dell XPS M1330 - Vista x64) hangs randomly. When it happens I can't run the task manager (or another app), nor the Start menu, and when i try to close an application the title bar shows "Not responding".
In the event viewers, nothing particular, excepts the hard shutdown.
(I apologize in advance for my bad english..)
I use Scientific Linux Release 6.1 (Carbon) with GNOME 2.28.2.
When I double-click on a folder on the Desktop it is opened in "File Browser".
When I open a folder via "Places" on the Main Menu Bar, the folder is opened in "File Manager".
I dislike "File Manager" and I don't understand why there are two different programs (file managers) running depending on how I open a folder.
How can I get rid of "File Manager"?
I have outlook 2007 installed (12.0.6514.5000) on my work computer.
I just installed Bowie to allow integration with outlook and TFS.
Most of the features for that plugin are based on the Ribbon. But I don't have the ribbon. I have the old menu and toolbar structure.
How do I switch to the ribbon view?
Is there an easy way in windows to set a given string, like "sidb" to run a program or open a given folder in Windows?
My original idea was to be able to run commands like that in the "Execute" start button menu (or Win + R),so I'd just have to do WIN+R and type "sidb".
What is the best way to accomplish this?
EDIT:
May I rephrase this as : Is there a way to define for example, in systems variables, sibd="C:.......blabla\ and then I'd just have to type "sibd" in Run?
There is a computer with Internet Explorer 8, Tabs are disabled completely.
When the bookmarks on bookmark toolbar is clicked, they are opened in a new window. The need is; they should open in the current window.
Note that, bookmarks menu works as expected and opens bookmarks in current window, the same is needed on bookmarks toolbar. How can this be achieved ?
I recently upgraded to the release candidate of Ubuntu 10.04. Since then, two problems have occurred and persisted: the boot splash screen has reduced down to a black screen with random color blocks/text/gibberish at the top; and the themes are broken, as in the light themes have checkboxes in menus the same color as the background, and the dark themes don't correctly change the font colors in the top menu.
Help?
On a side note, is there a need to upgrade from 10.04 RC to LTS?
While installing the fedora desktop I had unchecked the Games and Entertainment section but I can still see the same Games options available in the menu.
I tried checking the same in the Add/Remove Programs but I was not able to get the option for uninstalling the same.
Games which are present are: AisleRiot Solitaire, lagno, Mines and Sudoku
I would like to delete the games options available. Can someone help me doing the same?
I'm trying to connect from my Mac to a directory on a Windows server.
Here is what I'm doing from the finder :
menu Go->connect to server->smb://srv-fichiers1/Personnel/conujer
I get an error (error code -36).
But, from the finder window, if I click on Shared->All->srv-fichier1->Personnel->conujer, I have access to the directory.
I don't understand why I cannot connect straight to conujer.

Is there a way to convert a block of text to title case in Notepad++?
It should turn
asdf ASDF aSdF
into
Asdf Asdf Asdf
I see upper case and lower case on the edit menu, but those aren't quite what I'm looking for.
Hi,
I want to have multiple OS installations and I have been advised that chain loading using GRUB is a good way to handle this. I have looked at tutorials on the web but I still have some questions before I can start.
I want:
Windows XP: 20 GB. For running some school stuff and a game which does not work through WINE.
Xubuntu 9.04: 85 GB. My main OS.
Another Linux distribution: 15 GB . For experimenting and trying Linux distributions out.
I will:
Wipe and install various distributions quite often on the 15
Use dd to make a copy of my Windows partition after installing it and getting things to work as I like. My experience is that Windows needs to be re-installed maybe once per year to not get bloated and slow.
I have been told:
To use GRUB chain loading. It will make it easier when kernel upgrades are made in the Linux distributions, as they modify the GRUB boot-menu.
To my understanding I need to: (I might very well be mistaken)
Install Windows first.
Then install Xubuntu and let it write over the MBR with GRUB (I guess this is the default).
Get the GRUB on the MBR start Windows XP if I want to (it's done by default), start Xubuntu using the kernel of my choice or defer execution to the boot sector of my other Linux distribution. The actual chain loading will only occur when I want to start my experimental install of Linux.
I wonder:
Is step 3 above correct and a good way to handle this?
Is it also a good way to use chain-loading for both Xubuntu and my experimental Linux installation?
How do I get a Linux distribution to install the boot loader it comes with to the boot sector of its partition and not to the MBR?
If I can't get it to not touch the MBR. Then I could make a backup of the MBR using dd and then write it back after installing my experimental Linux installation. But then, how would I get the boot loader (lets say GRUB) into the boot sector of the experimental Linux installation? How would it work if said Linux installation gets a new kernel update and needs to update the GRUB menu?
Is there a utility to map a keyboard key to middle-click?
In particular, I'm trying to map the useless Context Menu key to the middle-click on my laptop.
I have a system with Ubuntu 9.10 installed.
I can connect to remote windows shares by using the "connect to server" under "places" menu.
I can't figure out where these mount in the file system. And how can I get this to mount automatically on startup?
And I can't install smbfs or anything else. I need to use only what comes on the live CD, as there is no internet connection and no way to get in packages.

I am looking for a Windows utility that can copy the currently selected filename, including the path, to the clipboard, ideally through the right-click menu.
Some degree of flexibility would be useful, like the ability to copy just the filename, path+filename, filename minus extension, etc. This isn't essential, though, as long as it can copy the path+filename.
Must be compatible with XP, Vista and Win7.
Free and/or open source would be ideal.
Thanks!
In word 2007 I click office button top left I click open, I get the open box, in the top address bar, I if I click on the down arrow far right (previous Locations) the drop down menu is empty just a box with nothing in it. To go anywhere from here I have to navigate via the left had pane, on all other windows systems this dropdown has enabled me to go to any location on my computer. I'm wondering if because all my word documents are on my D drive that windows 7 doesn't like it.
It seems my HTC Magic running Android 1.5 (Cupcake) has three home screens I can switch between. I can't find any kind of option to add additional home screens (the "home screen" menu only lets me add Widgets, Shortcuts and Folders or change the Wallpaper). Is there any way I can add more?
Hello all,
I'm using Windows Vista, and I was wondering if I can put shortcuts for applications.Like for example, if I press a certain combination of keys I get notepad, or something like that. If those shortcuts were already there, how can I know them?
Another thing, if I have an application that runs on media files for example, can I add it on the " Right Click" menu when I right click on media files. I hope you got that :)
Thanks alot :)
I have enable the following plugin that allows me to make a screenshot of selected by me area:
Screenshot plugin
Ubuntu 12.04
Unfortunately, I am not able to make a screenshot of my launchers sub menus (after right click of icon on the launcher a menu appears).
Actually, I have enable this plugin because I was not able to make a screenshot of this sub menus using the ordinary print screen button.
Is there a way to fix this?
