Q: How to correctly enable Desktop Cube in Unity 3D?

I have read several questions regarding how to fix an already enabled desktop cube or the problems it had in 11.04. But in 11.10, how can I correctly enable desktop cube in Unity 3D?

Be warned though, the cube is a dangerous friend.

Q: How to fix missing panel indicators in 13.10

After moving from 12.04 to 13.10 (with unity), the majority of my applications no longer have panel indicators. e.g: - xchat - sonata xchat gets a link in the mail menu, but this is useless because it opens a new xchat instance each time it's clicked, rather than bringing up the existing one. I...

Hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to install nemo without having it do anything with the desktop.

Is parted installed by default?

Not really, you have to undo all that stuff after you install it.

Is this viable? askubuntu.com/questions/362650/…

I can probably fix this question if it's opened again. askubuntu.com/q/362722/10698 we shouldn't ignore answers from new users just because they made the THIS-IS-NOT-A-FORUM mistake...

Braiam

@Alvar he needs to "ask" a question ;)

Alvar

well yes

there is a slightly vague question in there, and if I or he can answer his question with the answer he posted it can be pretty good...

thanks @fossfreedom :)

Braiam

I gave him this meta.superuser.com/a/7186/235569 since is almost what I do when doing selfanswered questions

jokerdino

how can he post an answer if you close the question?!?!?

Alvar

corect.

Braiam

10:08

it didn't has a "question" when was closed IMHO, nor details of the problems he's facing nor how to identify the problem, so it just got closed

jokerdino

the OP should be commented and asked to move the answer down. After another day or two, we can move it if OP hasn't done it.

I would have posted a community wiki answer if the OP didn't post an answer him self.

hello

I am trying to make a file executable and opened in terminal. I used this tutorial digimantra.com/linux/… and found the same on askubuntu.com but no luck. My file is still being opened in text editor

can someone help me please?

jokerdino

check the file manager settings for executables

what happens if you run it with ./script.sh?

gentmatt

Hi guys, has anyone of you gone through the process of compiling chromium from source? There's no regularly updated PPA and the instructions are a bit cumbersome for someone that does not actively develop software like me. I want to give it a try anyway, but beforehand I want to gather some feedback by users who have successfully compiled chromium on ubuntu. I welcome any comments!

jokerdino

@gentmatt Bad idea.

gentmatt

@jokerdino why?

IceD

10:40

@jokerdino one second please

jokerdino

@gentmatt OK may be not. I was imagining myself doing it.

gentmatt

The idea of running an up-to-date chromium is good, isn't it?

jokerdino

@gentmatt only if you don't do the work

IceD

@jokerdino it does the job it's suppose to do. I made the fie .sh

gentmatt

@jokerdino :P Well, I have no other option. So I'm going for it. I really seems though that very little people go though this extra work.

jokerdino

10:42

@gentmatt most of us use either firefox or chrome.

@IceD so, what was your question now? It opens the file when tried to execute from file manager?

IceD

I want to double click on it and it opens the file

and executes it in terminal

it's for automation

i've written a line of commands in .sh file and I want it to double click and get opened >> executed in terminal

gentmatt

@jokerdino The official instructions are very much to go through. But I found more compact instructions to follow on ubuntuusers.de (German) wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Chromium/Kompilierung.

jokerdino

@gentmatt good luck

@IceD using nautilus?

IceD

I don't have nautilus

just simple text editor

gedit

I will install nautilus

jokerdino

how are you clicking on the file?

@IceD nautilus is a file manager.

IceD

10:46

double click with mouse

gentmatt

@jokerdino Well thanks, I'll need it! If anybody out there has any tips on how to build chromium on ubuntu, please report!

IceD

@jokerdino Okey so what do I do next?

jokerdino

@IceD go to preferences in your "Home"

IceD

next?

jokerdino

@IceD Behaviour tab

and choose "Ask Each time"

IceD

10:48

@jokerdino @IceD go to preferences in your "Home" Do you mean Home as folder ?

jokerdino

@IceD Home as the file manager.

@Braiam yours is a script. mine was about apps

Takkat

Alacarte is not installed by default.

Braiam

11:09

heck, I read it backwards, yours is the same as takkat's

jokerdino

@Braiam yeah

@Takkat true

Takkat

In fact the easiest way is to copy & paste the .desktop to ~/.config/autostart.

Braiam

the problem is: not all applications peolple wants to run at boot has .desktop or they don't know how to find it ;)

Takkat

That's why I only made reference to the non GUI approach at the bottom.

argh this 20 Cent Desktop mouse in my office is auto-clicking everytime I touch it.

Okey here it goes. I will write the code

cd ~/Desktop/folder

chmod 755 startfile

./startfile

i have this inside command.sh file

and I want to execute it via double click

and it worked fine the first time

inside startfile i have 10 commands to open 10 terminals

so gnome-terminal and then it opens 10 terminals

When I applied what you wrote the first time it went great

buit now I can\t execute the .sh file

and when i open 10 terminals manually they close within seconds

Chat really needs to refresh flags better.

Thomas W.

@Braiam I don't think you have to worry about the repos immediately being moved to oldreleases. However, I would talk to the release team about that, and poke them on #ubuntu-release on IRC, or talk to the devs or the Technical Board. Unfortunately, I think the issue isn't going to be one which you can just "stop" the moving of the repositories off the main mirrors, there's probably a timeline for it.

@Braiam I can ask around on IRC for a general timeline from EOL -> Repo Move to OldReleases if you'd like, later.

@Elysium read that question there and test the answers there, the update manager python error is because of the problem with mergelist error you see. also medibuntu is gone

@Elysium i don't fully understand it, but apparently, it's a common problem nowadays but it's fixable

Elysium

ok, thanks

Bruno Pereira

@ThomasW. lies, my mother told me they existed, it was confirmed by the nice doctor that gives me my purple pills, not cause the pills are purple, but because they clear the purple heart shapes that replace every sight of clouds.... Purple shaped hearts in the sky, everywhere... nice hearts, dont go away... no mom, I dont want the pills! I like the hearts!

thinks he overdid himself right now, people will soon start to believe his sarcastic rants are actual facts of his mental reality

Elysium

nah, doesnt solve it. Thanks anyway Thomas

Seth

How many times must I?

Elysium

does anyone know if they have changed the repository location or something?

I also get this: "Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/quantal/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'packages.medibuntu.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)

@Seth you missed a few errors in the post's body

Seth

@BrunoPereira Being called "Askubuntu" must have temporarily blinded me ;)

btw, @BrunoPereira the two top answers here are complete duplicates of each other.

Bruno Pereira

@Seth AU, askUbuntu, Askubuntu, Aksobontu, seen it all :D

Seth

@Elysium You removed the file?

@BrunoPereira Oh the horrors!

Bruno Pereira

@Seth mmmmh, why one has 100+ votes and the other 30+ beats any logics from my side, specially because the second was created before the first...

probably the OP select one random as correct and that generated extra votes?

I would leave it like it is

Seth

Why? It makes the other different answers harder to reach.

Bruno Pereira

@Seth So you are suggesting I remove Alan's answer? Because I am certainly not removing the 30+ votes one, it was the "original"...

dam it! hard decision

Seth

@BrunoPereira Yes, I am suggesting you remove it.

AFAIK, he won't lose any reputation.

Bruno Pereira

what are the rules again for that? ;) cause if it applies 1/5 of his rep will go down the drain...

sec, I would like to double check that before actually doing anything.. can I, please?

Seth

@BrunoPereira I'm trying to figure that out myself ;)

@BrunoPereira By all means :)

I'm wondering how that rootdelay got there....

@Seth and both are wrong... or incomplete

the partial directory should be created after you remove the files... none do that :(

wait... mmm.... no recursive...

ok, but the partial directory apparently should be removed in some cases :(

Braiam

lol @Seth, you should be in shame right now

the 3 +1 upvoted answers here are exactly the same with another coating :(

Looks good, just a few minor grammar errors and one weird sentence.

> (@NathanOsman made a duplicated on a question is SO which he may have found earlier if it has a better title).

Could you rephrase that? It doesn't make sense atm.
