Cant shift virtual desktops after gnome 2.28 upgrade

Im using openbox, it wont work with mouse over desktop, and with keybinding.
And submenu on right click on taskbar (move to #desktop) is gone.
I guess system thinks that there is only 1 desktop. 
Oh! Why did I update, will I ever learn????

I was a joke ngoonee, about updating.
Here:
(openbox:3273): Openbox-WARNING **: Openbox is configured for 4 desktops, but the current session has 1.  Overriding the Openbox configuration.
I have told you its not openbox to blame, but new gnome...
I have tried metacity, and it shows 4 desktops. After that, I did openbox --replace and it also shows 4 desktops.
But when I log out or restart, problem is back.

  • Not able to recreate virtual desktops after migrating to new server

    Hello Everyone,
    I need some help please,
    I migrated our roles and VMs to new system,I basically joined the new servers to the existing failover cluster, installed all VDI roles and after moving all roles and VMs to the new servers, I removed the old servers from the cluster.
    everything seems working fine except recreating the virtual desktops collection.
    when I try to do so, I get this error message:
    "The RD Connection Broker server does not have access to add the
    virtual desktops to the Active Directory domain. Configure access by
    using the Active Directory page of Deployment Properties."
    I did some searches for this error and from AD Users and Computers tool -> security tab of root node (domain/OU) I gave full permission to the new server.
    another strange thing, is that I no longer can modify the domain and OU setting when I click on
    "Edit Deployment"
    the fields are grayed and no longer editable.
    please advise.
    Thanks

    Thanks -TP,
    I got it to work , the first time I tried to create a new collection , the master vm export failed with permission errors, later on It passed. after that I dropped a collection and recreated the vms of the first collection.
    it is not clear to me yet, why this happened and how it got fixed but for now it is working.
    Thanks again.

  • Vlc & chromium contents persist across virtual desktops after -Syu

    I have just completed today's large pacman -Syu which includes upgrades chromium, vlc, a new kernel and nvidia blob  and many others.  On rebooting I  see that:
    (1) The vlc video window persists across across virtual desktops (although its frame is lost away from the desktop on which it was launched). This is using icewm as my WM.
    (2) The content of chromium tabs persist in the same way.
    Is anybody else seeing this please?

    This is interesting.
    I'm using openbox and I have the same problem when playing StarCraft II under wine. Just to clarify, I use the nvidia-drivers.
    I start it on my second vdesktop*, tab to the first one.. persists. Tab back to 2, tab to 3 (all fine), tab to 1 and everything stays fine.
    So I'd have to switch to 3, then to 1 to cleanly access 1.
    What the heck is going on?
    *Virtual desktop as in workspace. They are defined within openbox config.
    Edit: No one in #archlinux seems to know anything so far.
    Another edit: It only seems to happen when firefox is open on the desktop I want to access. Turning hardware acceleration off doesn't change a thing though.

  • Volume keys don't work anymore after Gnome 2.26 upgrade

    I have two pc: a desktop and a laptop. The desktop doesn't have this problem. While on the laptop, a sony vaio fz21s, after the recent gnome 2.26 upgrade, the volume keys don't work. The osd appears on the screen but no change in volume is observed. Through the gnome-volume-applet i set "Principal" as main device. Controlling the volume with the gnome-volume-applet works.

  • Monitor no longer powers down after Gnome 2.26 upgrade

    As the title says, after upgrading to Gnome 2.26, my monitor no longer powers off after my set 10 minutes.  I have fiddled with the power manager settings, but the monitor now just stays on the screensaver forever and won't sleep.  Anyone else?

    It's possible, but one component doesn't necessarily requires another component of the same version. GDM has been on "2.20" for a long time now and it still works. gnome-power-manager 2.26 has just hit the repositories though.

  • Virtual Desktop Apps and Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I'm currently running most recent version of Parallels Desktop and I'm concerned that when I upgrade to Snow Leopard I will lose the use of PD until Parallels' updates their software. Unfortunately, I need to use Windows OS for school! Not much on Parallels' website yet.
    I'm just wondering if I should wait to upgrade until parallels folks catch up?

    According to http://kb.parallels.com/en/6637
    Parallels Desktop 4:
    Parallels Desktop 4.0 is compatible with Snow Leopard and can be installed on Snow Leopard Host, please make sure you are using the latest available build 3844. You might, however, experience some minor issues. We will release fully compatible Parallels Desktop 4 build to be installed on Snow Leopard soon.
    We have following know issues with PD4 build 3844 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
    1. Host Snow Leopard.
    - QuickLook plugin crashes when trying to do preview on PVM bundle (crash invisible for user)
    - Updater download but fail to install PD4 updates (workaround – close autoupdater and run installer manually)
    - Mounter/Explorer fail to open PD4 disk images
    - iPhone client fail to connect
    - Taking snapshots very slow on host Snow Leopard
    - Opening a web link from Windows in Mac Safari using Shared Internet Applications feature results in appending garbage to the link
    - Snow Leopard 64bit host KP when connecting USB device
    Depending how important windows is to you it might be worth waiting.

  • I currently have leopard and I want to upgrade to snow leopard. My question is will I lose my documents on my desktop after I do the upgrade?

    Please help

    Not if you make a backup first.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Be sure to repair your hard drive and permissions before upgrading:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Icon in Top Left Changes After Gnome 2.10 Upgrade

    I upgraded to gnome 2.10 and the icon (the foot) in the top left on the apps menu changed from my custom (apple) icon back to the default.
    Any idea how to fix it?
    It's a minor thing, but I can't figure it out and it's annoying me.

    In GConf editor, go to apps -> panel -> objects -> menu_bar and click on the custom_icon checkbox. That will allow you to specify a custom icon.
    Hope that helps,

  • Mpd not playing after gnome 2.28 upgrade

    I upgraded to gnome 2.28 today and now mpd wont play any tracks. I tried using both sonata and mpc but neither of them can play a track. I was getting this error...
    Oct 14 12:40 : avahi: Client Disconnected, will reconnect shortly
    Oct 14 12:40 : avahi: Could not reconnect: Daemon not running
    So I started the two daemons that are related to avahi in the rc.d folder, avahi-daemon and avahi-dnsconfd, now the mpd.log file says...
    Oct 14 15:38 : avahi: Service 'Music Player' successfully established.
    Oct 14 15:38 : avahi: Service 'Music Player' successfully established.
    But still mpd doesn't play anything. Can someone help me solve this problem, do I need to provide you with more information? Thanks for any help.
    PS: Exaile works just fine.

    Thanks, that link helped me out, I guess I will just run mpd as a user now instead of the daemon or root.

  • Win 2102: existing number of virtual desktops is not valid after errors while deleting , how to fix it ?

    Hello everyone,
    I created a virtual desktop collection with a name format like this , prefix = VDI-, suffix= 1 .
    so when I created the first VMs , I had VDI-1 and VDI-2 , later after recreating the VMs, adding new ones and deleting others, the suffix numbers are no longer in sequence , like I started having VDI-1,VDI-2,VDI-8,VDI-9.
    I realized I had one problem that probably caused this, because when I delete a VM , I get a warning message:
    "RD connection broker could not delete the computer account object from active directory."
    so I searched about that error and I added the needed permissions and now deleting seems to work without any warning.
    now I have two VMs, when I go through the wizard , the first page it shows I have 2 VMs but in the second page it shows I have 11 ! is there a way to reset the count ? if I delete the entire collection and create it again , will I have any problem with the
    roaming users profiles ?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    You can specify the count for RDVH as how many desktop wants for particular host. You can do this “Specify Virtual Desktop allocation” while creating virtual desktop collection. Other than that you can also use PowerShell command to achieve your task.
    For more details you can refer beneath article.

  • GNOME 3.10 no virtual desktops

    If you grab one of the windows or desktop with your mouse and drag it to the right, a new empty desktop should appear. you can now move the window or launch application on that desktop by dropping the window/app on it.
    If this doesn't work, you should be able to configure virtual desktop settings from gnome-tweak-tool

    There are two different versions of Flash, the one for IE (ActiveX) and the plugin version that other browsers use. You need to install the plugin version.
    1.Download the Flash setup file from here: <br />
    [http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. <br />
    Save it to your Desktop.<br />
    2. Close Firefox using File > Exit <br />
    then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, <br />
    {XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
    3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

  • Virtual desktops

    I have got two questions about gnome virtual desktops.
    Is it possible to have every application in the application bar anyway, even if they are in different desktop? The same for Alt-Tab, is it possible to make the application switcher switch between applications in different desktops?
    The second thing is more about compiz. I have the expo plugin activated, and it displays every desktop in a single row. Is it possible to make it display the desktops two 2 elements rows?
    Thanks,

  • How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

    Hello,
    i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
    30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
    virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
    new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
    Option Explicit
    Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
    strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
    Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
    WScript.Sleep (20000)
    objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
    Set objNetwork = Nothing
    Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
    used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
    Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
    have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
    printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
    bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
    environment?

    Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
    print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
    Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    Or done manually:
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

    Hi Krishna,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    When you are configuring RDVH initially, please see that you have meet prerequisites. Remember that you need these pre-requirements:
    • Database based on SQL Server 2008 R2
    • Static IP Address for all Broker
    • Round Robin DNS
    • All RD Broker must be members of AD Windows Group (es. RDCB Server Group)
    • The group must be insert into SQL Server as sysadmin ONLY for the DB creation. After that DB will be created give the db_owner permission only for their DB
    More information.

    In addition, we need all RD Broker must have the same SQL Native Client as main SQL Server (es. SQL Server 2012 SP1). The Connection Broker server's computer account MUST be a member of the local administrators group on the Virtual Host (RDS Host) machine and
    then reboot the server. Finally check the result.
