I too am a power user with Unix/Solaris/Linux professional experience starting from the early 1970's. I am amazed at how well the Starling works. I installed my usuals: gvim, ssh, sshfs, vifm, autojump. This was to get the basic command line stuff and network connectivity going. Then the gui intensive apps and games AND Polytonic Greek and Hebrew support. It all worked fantastically well. The only problem was with maximus. I like having windows that I control. I like small windows.
See bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/maximus/+bug/362301 I tried changing preferences and disabling it from startup -- TO NO AVAIL. This is what finally worked (via the bash super user command line): which maximus -- to find the location of the binary file (/usr/bin) cd /usr/bin chmod a-x maximus This forced it to be unexecutable. So no more problems with those full screen windows. It was very annoying. -- ALL application windows only open in full-screen mode https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/362301 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
