I see this question is "answered" by stating that there is no way to do this in GNOME:  I have doubts that it should be impossible and I really want to do it.  Is there really no way to do this is Gnome? This is my output from xrandr that I don't know how to use:  $ xrandr xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 3840 x 1200, current 3840 x 1200, maximum 3840 x 1200 default connected 3840x1200+0+0 0mm x 0mm    3840x1200      50.0*

On MS Windows we can use Super + Arrow to move a window to the right and the left of the screen, maximize, minimize and even move it to another screen. Is there a way to configure this feature on Gnome?

When I move a window close to the top, it snaps to maximum size. I am using Ubuntu 18.04, GNOME 3.28.2.    How do I disable that? I searched about six months ago, no way to disable back then.  1/5/19 Yes, solved!  Thank you!   These two worked on my Ubuntu 18.04     gsettings set org.gnome.mutter edge-tiling false   dconf-editor   These did not work     GNOME Tweaks  (disable "Edge Tiling" not available)   gsettings set org.gnome.shell.overrides edge-tiling false    Thank you Kulfy, Hamza Saeed, vanadium, PRATAP.

I am setting up Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome3 for a computer lab.  I don't want the users to be able to change the background of the computer.  Is there a way to prevent this? Or to revert the background back when the computer reboots?

Is there any way to get a command window larger than the monitor (screen) size. I have multiple monitor, so the desktop size is wider that the monitor, but even after using MODE CON COLS=300, CMD.EXE won't let the window size be dragged larger than the monitor size. It adds scroll bars instead!  I suspect the answer is NO!

I use dual monitor setup with diffrent screen layouts. So I have a "Default_l" screen layout and a "Default_r" screen layout. Is there a way to automate the change of the screen layout: When I change one screen layout for example from "Default_l" to "Compositing_l" the other screen layout also changes from Default_r to "Compositing_r"?

I know I can do this in Unity with compiz. But didn't find a way to do same in KDE. I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 with full kubuntu-desktop installed.   Btw, I noticed an option for inactive window. But I wanted for active window.

I'm on ub20LTS and I really dislike how much top space the topmost bars use. Any idea on how to remove or reduce their numbers?  Edit: Thanks to everybody's support, this is how my workspace looks like now. I've :  Installed gnome-extensions for firefox. Turned off menu bar in ff. Installed dash to dock. Installed hide top bar.  This way you can better utilize your screen space.

I didn't install anything myself, but only Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Acer 4741g.  I use Fn+left/right to change the brightness, but failed.  How can I control the brightness levels?

My screen has 1280 x 1024 resolution. But unfortunately, rightmost belt of 200 pixels is damaged and unable do display any image.  How can I set that the Xorg will treat my screen as 1080 x 1024 device?  Now I have tried:  Virtual 1080 1024 Viewport 0 0   It doesn't work right - image is scaled to fit vertically, and horizontally I can pan with the mouse.

In ubuntu 11.04 there was a workaround using gconf-editor and setting key /apps/gnome_settings_daemon/plugins/xrandr/active to false.  However there is no such key in gconf-manager using ubuntu 11.10 (gnome 3).

I use a large monitor as primary and laptop screen as secondary. Is it possible to move the launcher to my big monitor or do I have to turn off my laptop monitor?   "Monitor Preferences" (Launcher search -> "Monitors") does not have a way to set the default/primary monitor. nvidia-settings which I just installed says "You do not appear to be using the NVDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run nvidia-xconfig as root), and restart the X server.  sudo nvidia-xconfig says sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found.  I guess I don't have an AMD driver because I don't have "AMD Catylist Control Center" in the launcher search.

How do I switch from the default display manager (Lightdm) to the older display manager (GDM)?

Is there a way to merge to two bars in GNOME 3? Best case scenario would be to have one single bottom or top bar that has all the symbols on the left side and the rest like the time indicator, connections, on/off button, etc. on the right side.  Is that possible in any way?

I would like to setup dual screens.  I've done multiple searches but there is nothing beginner-friendly for me to grasp exactly what I need to do to get the setup working.  I've picked up a few commands and here's what I have:  xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 DVI-I-1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 476mm x 268mm    1920x1080      60.0*+    1680x1050      60.0      1280x1024      60.0      1440x900       59.9      1280x960       60.0      1152x864       75.0      1024x768       75.1     70.1     60.0      832x624        74.6      800x600        72.2     75.0     60.3     56.2      640x480        72.8     75.0     66.7     60.0      720x400        70.1   DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)   I suspect I should see either one of the following connected since I have the second monitor plugged in correct?    DP-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)   DP-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)   I seem to have an NVIDIA graphics card as per the following:  lspci -nn | grep VGA 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GK107 [Quadro K2000] [10de:0ffe] (rev a1)   Some system information:  No LSB modules are available.
