See what's comming to linux desktops

look at this:
http://www.gnome.org/~seth/blog/xshots

The only reason to have this is to close the gap between what you can get on those other operating systems and linux with X. Most people only relate to eye candy and don't see what is hidden under the surface. Granted, Mac OS is a contender when it comes to inner workings but the one from the other company just isn't there yet.
People will NOT come to linux from other systems if they can't have graphical user interfaces that look like they are carved from toothpaste and jelly beans. Hell, everytime I boot into WinXP I starting thinking about the Jelly Belly assorted collection sitting next to my 2 liter Dr. Pepper in the pantry.
Mmm... sour, buttered, passion fruit jelly beans.

I there a way to see what apps open in which desktop?

Since installing Lion, the loss of "Spaces" took a little while to get used to, but I'm over that now.
It would be nice to see a list of desktops and what apps appear / open in those desktops.
Is this possible to see in Lion?
-TIA
-jP

Not like it was in the old Spaces preferences, no. The best you can do is go through the apps in the Dock and check whether they are assigned to a specific Desktop in the Options menu. The Menu Bar has no reminder of what Desktop you are in, either.

I updated my iPad software to IOS 5, and now it doesn't see my WiFi. The IP addresses seem to be different on my "Sanders Family" network on my iPad than what shows up on my desktop

Help. I just updated my iPhone and iPad software to IOS 5. Now my iPad isn't connecting to my WiFi. It "sees" it, and the network name even shows up under WiFi, but it's like it just keeps grinding and grinding. Sometimes it will let me click on the network and see the IP address. When I can see it, the address on my iPad is different from the one showing up on my desktop, but I can't figure out how to change it on my iPad. Any suggestions to get me hooked back into my wireless network?

If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using. Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

What do you mean by you "cleaned" it?
Try booting into Safe Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
If you can boot into Safe Mode, try clearing off some space while booted there.

How do I see what I plug into the macbook on the desktop?

When I got my macbook pro 13 I was able to see what was in my diskdrive and also whatever was plugged into it. How do I turn that back on? Funny thing is I do not even remember turning it off.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
By default, OS X doesn't show disks in the desktop. To turn this on, open a Finder window, go to Finder menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and tick "Hard disks" and "External drives". After doing it, all the drives will appear on Desktop

Back in the days of leopard, the dashboard widgets would come to the foreground but you could still see what you were working on. Now I've updated to mountain lion and the work is no longer visible when I activate dashboard. Can I change that back?

Go to system preferences, mission control, and unselect "Show Dashboard as a Space". While you're there, you may want to make dashboard set to a hot corner "Hot Corners" button at the bottom.

Keyboard won't come up in moodle reply box, FireFox beta. can't not see what I type in FireFox regular. this was fixed a week it so ago latest version now not working again.

when I get into the moodle reply box in the beta version no keyboard comes up. In the regular version, this was fixed, now I can type but I don't see what I type as I type it. the word are there however when I close the keyboard. all this was better last week.

Now up to Firefox 8 and the problem persists. Cannot go to the www.turnitin.com page and login as I used to do -- Firefox does not remember my username or password.
Still works on Windows, and with other browsers... It would be great if a fix is available.

How come I have to highlight Certain screens in order to see whats on it ?

When I reply to a E-mail, lots of times I have to Highlight the section where I am typing in order to see what I am typing. Do you know why this is ???? there is other things that make me to have to highlight , also.

I think you somehow got your default colors set to white-on-white. Could you check here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content
Click the Colors button and check the "Text" color and "Background" color to make sure they have enough contrast.
Note: Even when you do not override page colors, when pages do not specify a particular color, Firefox uses the ones set in this dialog.

Could somebody see what is wrong that does not come to my eyes?

Hello,
I can't see what is wrong with this code:
I have eleminated excessive codes to make it easier to read... When this code is run I can see the first 3 dialog of app.alert but nothing after than... I can see p is not equal to nP... or at least I should have fallen one time into the do While loop? shouldn't I? The red app.alert is not displayed why?
var inch = 72;
try
{   nP = this.numPages;
    var p = 0;
    var x = 0.5;
    app.alert ('p='+ p);
    app.alert ('nP='+ nP);
    app.alert ('this.numPages='+ nP);
    do
       switch (nP)
          case 1:
               {app.alert ('case 1 nP = '+ nP);
               Add2LastPage();
               p += 1;
               break;}
          case nP > 1:
               {app.alert ('case nP > 1 = '+ nP);
               switch (p)
                   case 0:
                        x += 0.3;
                        p += 1;
                        break;}
                   default:
                        x += 0.3;
                        x += 0.3;
                        x += 0.3;
                        p += 1;
                        break;}
    while (p != nP);
    Add2LastPage();
catch (e)
app.alert(e);

Why not use a for loop to go thorugh your pages?
You can use the switch within the for loop.
Some comments within your code will show others what you are trying to accomplish.

I am ready to throw my computer out the window! I loaded the latest safari to and now at random pages will freeze. I can see what is going on, but cannot type anywhere! I have to shut down safari and go back in to even attempt to do anything. Please help!

Please help! I updated safari and yes it is an older desktop, but now all of the sudden tabs I have open will freeze on me. I can see what is going on, but am unable to type anywhere on the page! I have to shut down safari and then open up a whole new window to even attempt to get it to stop! It is driving me insane not to mention I need my desktop to work properly. I beg for someone to help me with this.

SRSS 4.2 Kiosk for Virtual Linux Desktop?

Hello All,
I currently have SRSS 4.2 with SRWC 2.2 installed on Solaris 10 and I able to get everything working for a full virtual Windows XP desktop running on ESX 4U1in a kiosk session. My question then is, does SRSS 4.2 support full virtual Redhat/Linux desktops? If so, what is required? Is there and add-on that I need to install like SRWC for windows? Or can I simply enable the remote desktop feature in RHEL.
Thank you all for your help.

Hi All,
After a few days of researching, then trial and error I was able to use this [http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/point_and_shoot_vdi1|http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/point_and_shoot_vdi1] as my kiosk session. I was then able to send a windows vm session to my DTU. For Redhat linux I installed this [http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/|http://xrdp.sourceforge.net/] , which enable me to use the windows remote desktop protocol, thus enabling me to use the linux vm session on my DTU. For your information, the xrdp so far logs in with a KDE desktop. I am looking into switching it to the GNOME desktop.
Well that does it for me. I can now get either a windows or linux vm desktop to my DTU.

Trial copy of Linux SBS 9 and the Linux Desktop

Hi Everybody,
May I know how I can download or get a Trial CD of Linux SBS 9 and the Linux
Desktop?
Many Thanks
Billy

If you purchase SBS 6.5 with the upgrade protection now, you'll have to
wait for future releases of Linux SBS. You only get the download now if you
had upgrade protection prior to Linux SBS release date.

I am running out of memory on my hard drive and need to delete files. How can I see all the files/applications on my hard drive so I can see what is taking up a lot of room?

Either of these should help.

Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

Hello Solid Buck,
Thank you so much for providing the details about the duplicate song issue you are experiencing. It sounds like you would like to remove the duplicate songs that will not play on your iPhone, but when you connect it to iTunes, iTunes only shows you one copy of the song on your iPhone.
In this situation, I recommend deleting the individual songs that do not play directly from your iPhone. I found the steps to do this on page 61 of the iPhone User Guide (http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf):
Delete a song from iPhone: In Songs, swipe the song, then tap Delete.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.
