No Run Dialog after pressing ALT + F2

Hello,
Sinds yesterday the run dialogbox doesn't show up anymore after pressing ALT + F2.
I know that i can add a button to the gnome panel to start the run dialog but i just hope that i can restore the ALT + F2 key combination.
i searched in the gnome configuration editor and there it's still ok "run_Key = <ALT>F2".
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that i installed xbindkeys yesterday, but i removed it again and it still doesn't work.
Can somebody tell me how to restore this odd behavior.......... thanks

ha beautiful.  Did a reinstall of arch earlier in the week with ext4 file systems and found myself with the same problem as Nick.
overlooked the compiz fusion option, thanks for pointing that one out!

  • The bar that opens up after pressing alt doesn't go away

    The bar that shows "File", "Edit", "View", "History", "Bookmarks", "Tools" and "Help" won't go away.

    Does the Menu Bar entry in View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options ave a check-mark?
    The menu bar will only auto-hide if the menu bar is hidden.

  • When i press "Alt" imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?

    Good day!
    I have this problem: when i press "Alt" my imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?
    Thank you.

    Hi, thank you!
    For example when I work in Nuke, and press "option" (for navigation), after I will release the "option", selected node will be duplicated.
    The same issue, but with copying happens when I'm working in blender and hold the "option" to navigate - I see the message "copied selected objects to buffer".
    Maybe it's some additions to the finder, which I could set a long time ago? In any case, how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

    You got me experimenting ... and it was viewing the display with the green button (rather than amber) on the left that revealed the menu bar.  Hovering didn't do it.  Thanks for your help.  First time in Apple Support.

  • After install Windows 7 i can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm pressing alt at start I have just Windows OS. How to return to MacOS?

    After install Win7 I can't find MacOS in bootcamp menu. And when i'm press alt at start I can watch just 1 OS. How to return to MacOS

    Hmm, then it seems Windows is trying to use a video driver that doesn't work with the one in your Mac.
    Try a safe mode start in Windows. Restart and boot to Windows. If you're doing that from the startup manager (holding down the Option key and choosing the Win 7 partition), select the Windows disk and immediately start pressing the F8 key. If the Mac is trying to boot to Windows right at a restart or startup, then start hitting F8 the instant the hardware chime bongs.
    Rather than the normal Win 7 splash screen (which from the sounds of things, you're not even seeing that), you will get a DOS screen of boot options. Chose Safe Mode and continue. This will force Windows to use the bare bones video driver and you should get to a desktop you can see.
    Now install the initial Boot Camp drivers.

    so I have called HP tech support 12 times over the last 6 weeks and still my HP Officejet 4620 loses connection overnight. Of course becasue it was a birthday present I spent more time than I normally would have on this issue. While the tech are very polite they have not fixed my problem and now it is too late to return printer to store. This is a lot of money wasted and I think they need to admit this is a bug in this printer and resolve the problem!!!!!

  • [SOLVED] Strange behaviour of XFce after pressing certain keys

    I noticed that when I press 'Ctrl' and hold it for a while all my currently opened windows will close and I am no longer able to access the Applications Menu on my panel until reboot.
    I also noticed, that when I press Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination my xfce-session is 'terminated' and I am in console environment (with a login prompt).
    Now, I don't know if this type of behaviour is normal, but I do not like it at all.
    I know Ctrl+Alt+Delete should lock the screen, but why I am in console then?
    And why after pressing 'Ctrl' all my currently opened Windows are gone? (or at least not visible and not minimized)
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    P.S. I have slim set up to auto-login my user account, but I do not think this is relevant.
    EDIT: Ok, fixed - I realized that I pressed some keys when I was changing the battery on my laptop and did not lock the screen :-) [Stupid me].

    Well, it doesn't. To make things worse, my sight is not good either. The devices are present in /dev and I did change configuration.
    It turned out to be a permissions problem. I was doing some cleaning in /etc, getting rid of *.pacnew and *.pacsave and I apparently overwrote /etc/group so my user account lost its group assignments. The errors thrown by mplayer were a little confusing because they mentioned "no such file", while in reports from other users with similar problems I could clearly see "permission denied". Only when running mplayer with "-ao oss" it correctly reported "permission denied" on /dev/dsp.
    KDE must be simply assigning permissions when it detects a new device, perhaps it has something to do with ConsoleKit. It would also explain why you have to actually be in Konsole when modprobing because it wouldn't work in a text console even with KDE running in the background.
    Anyway, sorry for bothering. Have a nice day, or good night, depending on your timezone

  • Press Alt to popup Menu Toolbar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item does not come up AND the Tool Bar closes

    Options-->Menu Bar is Unchecked(off) (so, TABS are at the top of the screen):
    Press Alt to popup Menu Bar, Click on a Custom Icon and the item clicked on does not come up -and- the Menu Bar closes.
    So, Alt->Popup Menu Bar->Click a Custom Icon does not function properly.
    see Troubleshooting Info below-->

    First off if you have Firefox4 you probably also have an earlier version such as firefox 3.6.15 installed. By default firefox installs these in slightly different locations, but it leaves it up to you to create a separate profile for each version. The profile is where firefox stores data and settings. I am not sure that firefox explains this clearly, but you will run into problems if you do not have a separate profile for each version of firefox. See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Testing_pre-release_versions
    To try to get the toolbars working correctly, after you have ensured you have separate profiles in use for each version ( the following action will make changes)
    # use the restore default set from the customise / customize toolbars dialogue
    # if that does not work then
    #* use [safe mode] and the option [X] reset toolbars and controls

  • I uninstalled bootcamp but when my MacBook Pro starts up, I still have to press "alt/option" when the screen goes grey. Otherwise, a black windows screen pops up. What am I doing wrong?

    At one point in time, I believe I had attempted to install bootcamp on my MacBook Pro. My university support center said that I had to press "alt/option" when starting up everytime, otherwise it would be a black windows screen and I had no idea where to go from there. (So I never was able to fully utilize the Bootcamp application. Unfortunately, even after I uninstalled bootcamp, this is still happening. How do I fix this? Thank you.

    You should have asked us and looked at 10 posts a week -- same as yours.

    And no to needing to hit Option every time. Obviously they never actually booted and used Mac.
    All it was is the startup parameter was saved and still set to look for a partition that does not exist and got lost.
    ZAP PRAM is also helpful but you would still use Startup Disk.

  • Can I use xbootmgr to measure what causes a failure to present credentials screen after ctrl-alt-del?

    Hello,
    I have several machines that are producing the same issue that when a user reboots, they are greeted as usual with the "please press ctrl-alt-del to logon" screen.  When that key combination is hit, the info screen is gone, but the "User
    logon box" never appears.  By never, I mean it doesn't appear within 2-5 minutes, and the users tend to hard reboot their computers (generally leading to more problems).
    I've read that this can be caused by a variety of issues, such as DNS, cable, speed negotiation with the switch port, etc.  However, I am interested in learning if I can use xperfmgr to determine the issue.
    From my testing, the ETL is only written once a user logs on to the system.
    The invocation I used is as follows:
    "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Performance Toolkit\xbootmgr.exe" -trace boot -traceflags base+latency+dispatcher -stackwalk profile+cswitch+readythread -notraceflagsinfilename -postbootdelay 10 -nopopups -resultPath C:\Boot_Trace
    Is it possible to use xbootmgr to measure this situation?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    Hi,
    Yes, this tool could to be used to record the boot information.
    Let's make clear something below.
    1. Could you see this screen after pressing "Ctrl+Alt+Delete":
    2. Did you mean that the password inbox disappear?
    3. Could you see above login screen when you start the computer normally？
    If all is Ok when you start computer, the xbootmgr.exe - trace boot is not applied.
    Meanwhile, go to  Clean Boot
    to see if there is some third-party software to troubleshoot.

  • IPhoto crashed after pressing Buy Book

    Hi,
    My friend has just spent a few hours designing a book in iPhoto 6 on my OS X Powerbook running 10.4.8, I attemtped to consolidate all my photos in just the iPhoto library recently but for some reason it has made aliases of all my files and not actually copied all of them into the library folder for some reason?
    Anyways, now I get error message that iPhoto cannot find these certain 30 or so movie files. Normally you can click cancel and after pressing it 30 or 40 times it goes away (once for each file it cant find). This came up after the account details, which is a result of pressing 'Buy Book' but then clicking on cancel has brought up the spinning wheel.
    Unfortunately we did not quit from iPhoto first ....
    a) is there any way that the book might have auto saved?
    b) is there anyway to recover a temporary book file I can then load again in iphoto
    c) any ideas how I can get iPhoto responding again (force quit says not responding)
    d) am I screwed and will have to make the book again...
    Thanks!!
