A bit late this, but if anyone is interested:

I had the same problem but, on advice I downloaded Dolphin. I then ran Dolphin through sudo dolphin in terminal.
Now, right clicking on the Wastebin and selecting Empty Wastebin clears the files rather than producing an error.
This does not really relate to your question, but is simply a work around.

The solution is to add files in ~/Templates directory. For example adding an empty file named Text.txt the New Document option is added.
So we can add there files with different extensions to view them into New Document option.
Command line:
cd ~/Templates
touch Text.txt

You are trying to run an interactive command that requires a tty, and by default, ssh does not allocate a tty when you specify a command to be run on the remote machine. Add the -t flag to force it to allocate a tty.

Rather than opening up multiple windows and establishing multiple ssh sessions (to the same machine?), take a look at screen. You can ssh to a host, start screen and from there open multiple virtual consoles, one for each command you want to run.
What's really nice about screen, is that if you loose the ssh connection, you can create a new one and reattach ...

I have had something similar happen to me. Look in your home directory using ls -al. There should be a file called .Xauthority (its a hidden file). If this file is owned by root this could be causing your problem. You can fix it by using sudo chown <username>:<username> .Xauthority to regain ownership of the file or you can rename it mv ...

You can add it in, just open Startup Applications, and click on add
for the Command enter: /usr/bin/canberra-gtk-play --id="desktop-login" --description="GNOME Login"
For the description you can enter anything you want, the default that comes with it is as in the image below.
Once done you should see it as in the image below.

For not having a 'Appbar' at the top in certain Applications, you can use
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/354/maximus/
But you have to change the config file
in
~/.local/share/gnome-extension/.../..json
and enable Gnome 3.8 Support. Then you can enable a Whitelist / Blacklist.

This can be easily be achieved using nautilus-action & gnome-desktop-item-edit.
STEPS:

Launch Nautilus-Actions and create a new action.
Under the Action tab, check on "Display item in location context menu", then in Context label, enter this: ...

I solved this by removing every config file (~/.*) from my home directory. Previously I had attempted to remove all gnome related files but this didn't help.
(I followed: How do I reset GNOME to the defaults?)
I still don't know what old config file caused this, but I recommend moving all your config files to a backup directory and moving them back one by ...

I had the same issue when I updated to Gnome 3 this week. Get the latest version of flash here (11.2.202.291): http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect . You want the tar.gz version, not the YUM or RPM. The fill will be called install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz if you're running 64 bit for example.

In the login screen, click the Ubuntu icon next to your name.
Next, select Gnome 2 as your environment. I do not have Gnome 2, but you should see it on your menu
After that, Click Back, Enter your password, and that should do it.
Hope this helps.

Only drawback is you need to know how to edit JavaScript for its configuration:

GNOME terminal is also slow for me. From the Wikipedia list the fastest of what I tested was evilvte. That one seems to go all the way to the opposite end of the spectrum in terms of leaving out as many features as possible. (Whereas I sense that GNOME terminal chooses to be quite featureful.)
The other fast alternative for me is to use the virtual ...

One possible cause could be an existing bug in Ubuntu, that's been around for a couple of years already: If you press the keyboard shortcut to change a keyboard layout, it will actually change the layout, but not the indication in the panel. For example, you were using Russian in one window, and are now using English in another window. Then you change focus ...

Your problem is that GDM is starting twice from the console. GDM is a heavier login display manager than LightDM (which is why it's called LightDM), so it might solve your problem of GDM starting twice from the console if at the console you ran:
sudo lightdm
Even if you are using GDM by default you still have LightDM installed, so this command should ...

There are no applications that do that or anything like what you want.
Of course it is a matter of developing a software that does that. If you have the time and expertise to do that go to Launchpad Blueprints, there you will be able to receive help from other developers. You will need to know what you are doing ; they won't do the work for you.
But if you ...

I'm assuming you're using version 2.77 of Transmission. I had the exact same problem. Transmission was losing preferences everytime I started it. I am NOT using any extensions, however.

Looks as if you have a permissions problem.

I found that reinstalling ubuntu and reformatting the /home directory worked. I think that trying to leave the original home directory intact leads to some permissions issues that are hard to detect. Sorry for a less than satisfactory solution, but it worked.

Late reply, but I think this is worth posting:

First I would look to see if your ~/.profile calls your ~/.bashrc
Next, I would type the command below to see what "OpenFOAM" lines are in my .bashrc
egrep -i openfoam ~/.bashrc
If you see the "/home/boudaoud/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-2.1.1/etc/bashrc" in the results, I would open my ~/.bashrc in vim/nano/gedit and use the # in front of the line to make sure it ...

Maybe this helps. They mention http://gnome-look.org as a source for themes. The themes work on both Unity and Gnome.

Each process influences kernel's scheduling by its nice value. These values are from a range of -20 (high priority) to +19 (low) priority, with 0 being (default), so regarding function's template and your first question, the answer is no they are not tool specific.
Linux uses the same priorities for every process. However if you invoke getpriority() system ...

@Francesco It should be on by default if you are using 12.04 or 12.10. If you are using 13.04 it is still installed just off by default. To turn it back on just go to Settings->Appearance->Behavior and check the Enable Workspaces box

it is solved, but why is sensor of screen non-active ?
(in system-settings "brightness and bars" of display-behaviour)
I mean the sensor for work-behaviour at desktop was non-active by default ?
(by default it is set to 10 minutes - then screen switches back to gdm ? )
I set the sensor in system-settings to 30 minutes resp. to 1 hour.

To fix this problem, it should be enough to add your user to the network group. To do it, you can use the GUI in the settings menu (that cog in the top right), or just type something like this in a terminal:
sudo usermod -G network yourusername
Remember to logout/login again to update your user privileges.

I believe that GNOME will still support X in 3.12. According to https://live.gnome.org/Wayland#Proposed_roadmap, most parts of GNOME will still work under X.
If you do not need Unity and Mir/X then Ubuntu GNOME flavor will probably be using Wayland when Gnome switches compatibility. Ubuntu GNOME is a Ubuntu flavor that uses Gnome shell as the default ...

Until someone comes up with a proper fix, you could create an icon on your Desktop which would run your command without having to open terminal first.

Using ALT+F2 type
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop

This shouldn't happen. It looks like a bug, the buttons stay visible when I'm hovering them. Do they re-appear if you hover out of the title bar and come back over the buttons?
Maybe you should open a bug for Unity on Launchpad.
