To get that exact dialog, the only way is through dbus, since gnome-sesion-quit only shows the generic four-options dialog. I got this by looking at dbus-monitor. This is the command:
dbus-send --print-reply --dest="org.gnome.Shell" /org/gnome/SessionManager/EndSessionDialog org.gnome.SessionManager.EndSessionDialog.Open uint32:2 uint32:0 uint32:60 ...

Install CCSM

If it is checked you may have another issue. Try restarting compiz:
kill -9 `pidof compiz`
This will kill it, it should start up again, if it doesn't, CTRL+ALT+F2 and ...

If you use an acceleration graphics card alongside the default graphics card, it's possibly due to the installation of their drivers. A few updates of acceleration graphics cards drivers in systems that have two graphics card tend to present unstable behavior in some systems. I have an Nvidia card and an Intel card. It used to happen with me when I installed ...

I have an Asus U36SD using an "Optimus" (Intel + Nvidia GPUs) set-up. I had Ubuntu 12.04 working just fine, but upgrading to 12.10, this problem appeared and persisted in 13.04.
I have managed to fix it trough the following steps:
Install Nvidia drivers from https://edge.launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa.
I would really prefer the stable PPA at ...

One way to do it simply is to create a custom shortcut.
Access System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Custom shortcuts
Then click '+' to add a new shortcut, and in the command box paste:
dconf write /org/compiz/profiles/unity/plugins/unityshell/launcher-hide-mode 0
This will create a shortcut for showing the launcher. Now to hide the launcher, you ...

First, because you're about not to use terminal, I change sudo to gksu. And then, if you've created a script like this:
#!/bin/sh
gksu openvpn --config /home/ubuntu/Documents/vpnbook/vpnbook-euro2-udp25000.ovpn --auth-user-pass /home/ubuntu/Documents/vpnbook/password.txt
and named it your-script.sh, you can create a file like this (taken from this ...

Same problem for me with Starcraft II launched throw playonlinux. There is first a application launcher:
(WM_CLASS(STRING) = "Blizzard Launcher.exe", "Wine")
and then the game itself:
(WM_CLASS(STRING) = "SC2.exe", "Wine")
I guess that wine is setting the class with the binary executable.
I had a look in bamf code (bamf_matcher.c, ...

In a terminal, install the following:
sudo apt-get install libgtkglext1 libc6 bzip2 zlib1g libexpat1 openssl libgtk2.0-0 libglade2-0 freeglut3 sqlite3
Then type openscam in the terminal to open it up.
Source: OpenSCAM Install Guide. Though I've added the package libgtkglext1 because it also needs it.

Compare environment variables in terminal (env) and by running a script through desktop shortcut.
Script
#!/bin/sh
env > ~/myenv
Check if value of DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS is different, because it seems to be the problem.

Getting a progress bar to work will (I believe) be hard, and will have to be implemented on a case by case basis for different applications (apt-get, dd, etc.).
On the other hand, changing the icon when a prompt is available is easier. Assume that there exist two scripts iconprompt and iconnoprompt which change gnome-terminal's icon on execution. [I've ...

The script should read:
#!/bin/bash
cd $HOME/MCserver
java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame
After writing it, you should make it executable, so open a terminal and if the script
is in a file called minecraft.sh (check if the casing is right, upper and lower
case matter!):
$ cd $HOME/MCserver
$ chmod +x minecraft.sh

Get to a TTY (Control+Alt+F1), check if ubuntu-desktop is installed:
$ apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop
ubuntu-desktop:
Installed: (none)
Candidate: 1.299
Version table:

500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring/main amd64 Packages
In my case it is not. I assume you've triggered a cascade removal of certain packages and that ...

When creating a .desktop file for your launcher you may want to give a path to the application's icon there:
Icon=/full/path/to/icon
In case you just want to change an icon to other than default you can do so by opening the Preferences menu with a right click on the .desktop file. This will show the following dialog:
Click on the icon to open a file ...

When you are logged in on your administrator account, can you access a tty console by pressing CTRL+ALT+F1? If yes, run sudo apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade. When finished, reboot and log in again. If the problem remains, enter the tty console agin and try sudo apt-get install --reinstall unity and reboot again.
