If you're subscribed to the Ayatana mailing list (or you can look here - look for "Menus hidden by default"), you probably know the huge discussion behind the AppMenu (Global Menu) which is set to autohide by default in Ubuntu 11.04 (in both Unity and the classic desktop). Apparently even quite a few Ubuntu developers find it confusing. I didn't find a way to disable the autohide only, but I was reading on Ubuntusecrets.it about disabling the AppMenu altogether and though I'd let you know about 2 ways of disabling the AppMenu: either for a specific application or globally, for all applications but using a different method which should keep you error-free.
Please note that on the "Ubuntu classic" desktop (that's the name of the session in the login window for the classic Gnome desktop in Ubuntu 11.04 - without Unity), you can simply right click the panel, deselect "Lock the panel", then right click the AppMenu and remove it. But for Unity, it's a bit more complicated. Ubuntu 11.04 Unity: How to Disable Unity Autohide. Ubuntu 11.04 comes default with Unity, a slick new user interface that helps for users with limited space, i.e. Netbooks. However, I have dual 23 inch monitors, I have more than enough space for menus and options, and when things are shrunk to please the un-power-users, it really pisses off the power-users. So, instead of griping and disabling Unity altogether, and going back to pure Gnome, I'll stick it out with Unity, lest I be ridiculed for being resistant to change.
Plus, lots of man-hours went in to Unity, so I'll give it an honest attempt. First Major Gripe: Unity auto-hides, and thus my taskbar is gone. I do FAR MORE on my computer than just surf the web. FEATURE REQUEST: Allow me to right click somewhere in the Unity bar launcher and have an option for Preferences that takes me to the setting manager, and have the setting-manager installed by default. 2b) Find compiz config (so we can then find unity config) From the System Settings, search for compiz, and click the first result. Php - phpunit require_once() error. Disable the auto-hide functionality of Ubuntu Unity 2D | Katastrophos.net Blog. The current version of Unity 2D that comes with Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 does not feature any sort of configuration panel and unfortunately there is no easy way to disable the auto-hide feature of the Unity 2D panel.
Here is a short script that will give you an icon on your Unity panel to toggle (enable or disable) the auto-hide functionality: Copy the following script to/usr/local/bin/unity-2d-toggle-autohide.sh : if [ $(gconftool-2 --get /desktop/unity-2d/launcher/hide_mode) -eq 0 ]; then autoHide=1 useStrut=false else autoHide=0 useStrut=true fi gconftool-2 --typetype=int --set /desktop/unity-2d/launcher/hide_mode $autoHide gconftool-2 --typetype=bool --set /desktop/unity-2d/launcher/use_strut $useStrut #! Now create a menu entry for this helper script and save it as/usr/share/applications/unity-2d-toggle-autohide.desktop : Clicking on it will toggle auto-hide.
Encryption for online backup services [Archive] Manosx December 17th, 2009, 05:54 AM This is a guide on how to use encryption with the encfs in online backup services like dropbox and Ubuntu one. I guess it can be used for other online backup services. Encfs is used because it is pass through. This means that the encryption is happening per file, allowing us to change files without the need to upload the hole block device.
The instructions: 1. Sudo apt-get install ubuntuone-client 2. Sudo apt-get install encfs fuse-utils 3. Cd ~ mkdir Ubuntu\ One/encrypted/ mkdir Ubuntu_secure/ 4. Encfs /home/[your username]/Ubuntu\ One/encrypted/ /home/[your user name]/Ubuntu_secure Change [your username] with your username! 5. Fusermount -u /home/[your username]/Ubuntu_secure In any other system you go and set up the online backup service, you will have your files encrypted. Do it automatic with a script! #! Copy this code in a file ubuntuone.sh in your home directory for example. Cd ~ chmod +x ubuntuone.sh The script checks if the volume is mounted.
