I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 and found that menus for many applications do not show on the menu bar, as it is configured in 'Settings > Appearance'. For example: menus for Filezilla, Geary, Libreoffice Writer and Software center do not show. I have not tested every app, but I can tell you that browsers (Chrome, Firefox) do have their menus on the menu bar. In addition, if I change the configuration to show menus "in the window's title bar", they don't show either.  Any clues?  Best regards.

Is there commercial-grade computer animation software available for Ubuntu, similar to the professional software sold for the Windows operating system?  This question goes out to those of you who may be using such software professionally.  My daughter recently graduated from the Art Institute of Seattle, and needs to put together an animation portfolio in order to interest employers in the field.  As you know, such software is usually provided by the employer and the costs are high - several thousand dollars.  I suggested that she investigate Ubuntu as a possible way to acquire the tools she needs.  But, since I have no idea what might be available, either as open source or proprietary animation software, I am reaching out to the Ubuntu community for help in the hope someone who is using such software can help her.  Thank you for reading this post, and for any information you might have.

I accidentally opened too many menus (or windows) and I want to reset them to default.  It is really annoying, and effecting my animation.  Thanks

I believe my question says what I am trying to achieve.   Steps I tried to make gdm my default display manager:   sudo dpkg-reconfigure than select gdm as my default. Edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and change its content to  /usr/sbin/gdm    After the above two steps I logged out myself and after that when I see my login screen it still shows lightdm as my display manager.  What am I doing wrong here.?

I am trying to run an Ubuntu guest on Windows 10 using VirtualBox. I found the Ubuntu guest was running with slow response after the installation. I found some previous solutions for this problem by changing the settings under machine (like activating 3D acceleration, etc.), but I find my settings are locked. What is the solution for this? How to make the options active?

I have tried installing fspy in blender 2.81, however it says it is 'installed' (as can be seen in attached image) but then doesn't appear in add-ons list, and hence cannot be enabled.

I have Ubuntu 18.04 with the gnome-desktop  and parallel the Ubuntu MATE desktop installed. While I can easily change the size of the mouse pointer (DMZ-White) in the Gnome3 desktop , this does not work on the MATE desktop. I use for this the dconf-editor.  Maybe someone knows a solution?  Thanks a lot.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 but since some weeks I'm stuck with the old 13.10 lockscreen design for some reason.  I already tried compizconfig-settings-manager but it doesn't offer me any option for changing the lockscreen design and even resetting Compiz and Unity with   dconf reset -f /org/compiz/   didn't help.  Are there any other ways to get the new lockscreen back?

I set export UNITY_LOW_GFX_MODE=1 in my ~/.xprofile and it no longer has any effect in 13.04. Is there a way to disable all the eye candy? I'm running in VirtualBox and the Unity 3D mode with all the visual effects is overwhelming for the VM. Unity works and is usable, it's just very slow to render, so I'd rather have it off (is this 2D mode?).

I have my object selected and don't know why the settings are not there. I've tried different objects and it's the same problem. Can somebody help? Edit: I can see all the settings in the Shading tab..

Just got a new keyboard, the Microsoft comfort curve 2000, and everything seems to work fine except for the 'back' and 'forward' multimedia keys.  I am running Ubuntu 11.10 and have tried going into system settings -> keyboard -> shortcuts, then I try and hold down the keys to set the action I want them to perform, but nothing changes.  Any thoughts on where else to look?   -- UPDATE --  I rebooted and the options to change the keyboard shortcuts seem to be working now. Now I can tweak the whole thing and I managed to assign the media keys correctly.  Thanks to everybody for the suggetions

I have opened up  on launchpad too, but in the interest of getting a bigger response base I am posting it here, hoping someone will pick it up.  Natty doesn't behave very well with the Intel 82845GL chipset. I booted my old machine with Natty today to test drive it. The specs are:  Processor: Celeron 2.4GHz Video: Intel 845GL RAM: 1GB  The first problem is that the display is borked! What do I mean? Well, see for yourself:     If that gets fixed (and it did for a while but is back now), Unity is disabled.   I think these issues are owed to hardware acceleration being disabled...or in other words not the right driver for my hardware. A google search on 'intel 82845GL ubuntu' does return other users having similar problems in the past but I haven't been able to pick out a solution in the many many discussions on the subject- partly owed to my 'linux naivety' I guess...but maybe you can help?

So we all know its there, and we all know how to fix it, but adding the extra steps to have to change the interpolation on every new animation just plain sucks. To be honest I don't find this feature useful as a default at all because more times than not we have to correct for it.  Is there an option somewhere to turn auto ease in off? (I personally think this should be the default and should require user to turn it on if they want it).

I tried to move my "close, minimise and maximise" to the right + add the macOS theme to it. However, I have not been able to find any settings for that. In GNOME Tweaks > Windows the settings to put the buttons to the right are missing completely.

I use Ubuntu 18.04.  When i boot up the system and login screen shows up, it loads some settings that i don't like and would like to change them.Namely   keyboard layout mouse sensitivity screen resolution   However at the login screen i don't have any option to change settings. And as soon as i login to an account, i can only change settings for that account and the login screen remains unchanged.  Obviously the settings has to be loaded from somwhere. Is there some hidden user that stores these settings? Or is it stored under root? Or any other special configuration file?  I tried to google this problem, but such question does not appear anywhere.  So can you please help me to change those settings for the login screen?
