[Bug 331456] Re: Fullscreen not using whole screen
Update as promised. Went into Appearance and enabled normal effects = worked flawless, the screen was positioned nicely as expected (0,0) - (1600,1200) when I went full-screen I did however, have no 'bars' left in any application.. (calculator, amule, ...) (is this a bug in 8.10 or me not knowing how to use it ??) So I rebooted the machine, same thing I switched to extra effects , same thing, none of the windows show a 'bar', so I have no minimize/maximize/close button either, nor a way to drag windows around... very weird, and those effects seem rather harsh on my gfx card (slowish!). But when I connect with Vinagre, and go fullscreen it's perfect every time. Off course I'm unable to drag the window around, so it might as well be because the top is positioned 'optimally'. Turning off the visual effects brought the window bars back, and it seems that the position of the full-screen window remains correct too now. That is, until I move the windowed version to ca halfway the screen and press F11 again, then it goes into full-screen, but at the 'set' position (ca (800, 600) - (2400, 1800)) very strange Not sure if this is important but I have my menu-bar on the top of the screen and my status/system-bar (?) on the bottom of the screen. If all of this doesn't really make sense I'll make a bunch of screen-shots to explain, feel free to ask if you think that is necessary. (and should I postpone switching to 9.04 or do you rather have me upgrade asap ? (upgrading has always been a hassle getting the nvidia drivers going so I'm not really looking forward to it =) -- Fullscreen not using whole screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 331456] Re: Fullscreen not using whole screen
Hi Robert, There are no desktop effects enabled on my machine. I'll try to have a look at it tonight/tomorrow whether switching it on/off makes a difference... I 'm hoping to upgrade one of these days, although that might not be before next weekend. Once I get there I will post a comment here. Thx for looking into this. PS: in the meanwhile I've changed the way VNC-server works on the WindowsXP side so it only sends through the 'virtual' 1600x1200 screen (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\RealVNC\WinVNC4\DisplayDevice is set to \\.\DISPLAY2) Sadly it remains trial error to get it to go full-screen properly on the Ubuntu side, so I don't think it's because of the enormous resolution I was trying to pass along... -- Fullscreen not using whole screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331456 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vinagre in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 331456] [NEW] Remote Desktop Viewer does not fully go fullscreen
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vinagre I'm 'abusing' my Ubuntu laptop as an external screen for my WindowsXP using Remote Desktop Viewer. The trick is to use ZoneScreen to create a 'virtual' monitor and VNC to copy the contents from one pc to another. I have the VNC client on read-only and panned complete to the right so the visible area perfectly covers the ZoneScreen-monitor. This works flawless, even thought the total screen is rather big (1024 + 1920 + 1600 x 1200), the 100Mbit LAN handles it just fine, I assume it's smart enough to only send through the 'useful' bits. However, more often than not when I try to go full-screen, it seems a 1600x1200 'square' is assigned to VNC (= (native) resolution of the Ubuntu desktop), but it's not properly positioned at (0, 0) but instead seems to try to put itself somewhere on top of the INSIDE of the non-fullscreen (aka windowed) screen. Hence I keep to see the Ubuntu tool-bar on top of the screen, and part of the windows-screen 'falls of the bottom'. Sometimes it helps when I make the windowed version a lot smaller and then try to move it around the screen randomly and try to go full-screen (F11) again : it might jump into the correct position, but it usually takes a lot of tries... I have not found any logic in it (yet), but it seems the offset is (almost) always the top-left position of the windowed-version. Another trick is to move the VNC application to another desktop and try there... again, sometimes it works, often it doesn't. Hope this makes sense, I've included 2 screenshots to make it a bit more clear. Feel free to ask for more details via email. Thanks for making the effort to look at this !
