how did you installed gnome? the appearance menu is owned by gnome-control-center, which is a part of gnome group.

  • [Solved] Can't change resolution in GNOME

    I just installed Archlinux and GNOME. Everythings works find except the resolution is 800x600 and I can't find a way to change it. When I open screens preferences it says my screen is unknown and I can only choose 800x600 or 640x480.
    My video card is a Geforce 8800 GTS and my screen a Samsung SyncMaster 961BW.
    When I open nVidia X Server Settings it get this message :

    There is an error in Xorg.0.log :

    That must be the cause of the problem but I can't find a way to fix it.
    Anyone know how I could fix my problem ?

    did you rebooted? is needed because now in 2.6.34 nouveau is in kernel and is blocking nvidia. nvidia package has a blacklist file for it.
    like a side note, you don't need a xorg.conf at all. remove it

  • My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time

    My Apple ID and rescue email are reversed. How can I change them both at the same time?

    I'd already used this standard tool (exhaustively!), but for the problem encountered it operated in Catch 22 mode - you had to do two things but neither order was permitted. I did find an answer eventually, but am not sure what it was I did that solved it! Thanks, anyway.

  • Can't change themes

    I can't change themes in Firefox 3.6.1.5. All my themes have been updated to this version of Firefox. I am trying to use themes that have been updated but none of them work. When I click on the theme it asks if I want to restart Firefox and if I remember correctly the theme shows up at that point and then Firefox is restarted. The personas work fine.
    Thanks for your help.

  • All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

    All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them.   Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another.   I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition.   The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them.   In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

    There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

    Click here for information. If you can't reset them through the method described in that article or by sending yourself a rescue email(the email may take a few hours to arrive), contact the iTunes Store staff via the link in the 'Additional Information' section.
    It isn't possible to create a rescue email address without correctly answering two of the questions. Nobody on these boards can reset them for you.

    If you have a rescue email address set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have a rescue email address set up then go to Express Lane and select 'iTunes' from the list of 'products' in the middle of the screen.
    Then select 'iTunes Store', and on the next screen select 'Account Management'
    Next choose 'iTunes Store Account Questions' or 'iTunes Store account security' (it appears to vary by country) and fill in that you'd like your security questions/answers reset.
    You should get an email reply within about 24 hours (and check your Spam folder as well as your Inbox).

  • HT5312 I forget the answers to my security question! How can I change them?

    I forget the answers to my security questions, how can I change them?

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    You'll have to reset them.  Go to https://appleid.apple.com, click on manage your account on the right, sign in, click on Password and Security on the left, look for the link to reset your security questions to the right.  This will send a reset email to your rescue email address.
