Fix For Some Apps Starting Behind Focused Windows In Ubuntu Compiz
Fix For Some Apps Starting Behind Focused Windows In Ubuntu Compiz
In Ubuntu (w/ Unity), some applications/windows open behind focused windows which can be annoying in some cases. Here are a few examples:
- clicking the "open containing folder" in the Firefox downloads menu, the file manager pops up behind the focused window;
- activating applications through indicators doesnt always bring them to the foreground, for instance Pidgin chat windows, the file manager opened via the "Open Dropbox folder" Dropbox AppIndicator menu item, Rhythmbox from the Ubuntu Sound Menu, etc.;
- if theres already a fileroller window open (Archive Manager, a compress/extract job, etc.), the second window you open is not focused.
I tested the examples above under Ubuntu 15.10 with Unity.
Some focus-related issues were marked as fixed a while back, but some continue to occur and there are comments, as well as bug reports, which suggest a simple solution which should fix this issue: setting "Focus Prevention level" to "Off" in CompizConfig Settings Manager (obviously you need to be using Compiz for this to work).
In case youre not aware, Ubuntu (with Unity) ships with "Focus Prevention level" set to "Low" by default. For instance, to work around this issue, Ubuntu MATE, which allows you to easily switch to Compiz via MATE Tweak, ships with this option set to "Off".
To apply the fix/workaround I mentioned above, firstly install CompizConfig Settings Manager:
sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-managerThen open CompizConfig Settings Manager and under General Options > Focus & Raise Behaviour tab, set "Focus Prevention Level" to "Off":
Thats it! If later on you decide you want to switch back to the default behaviour, simply set the "Focus Prevention Level" back to "Low".
As a bonus, this also fixes the issue with Nemo (with Unity patches) opening in the background when theres a focused window (which I think is a bug in Nemo).

Fix Dropbox Indicator Icon And Menu Not Working In Xubuntu Lubuntu Or Ubuntu MATE
Fix Dropbox Indicator Icon And Menu Not Working In Xubuntu Lubuntu Or Ubuntu MATE
I recently stumbled on an issue with Dropbox and the Ubuntu flavors that support AppIndicators (except Unity), like Xubuntu and Lubuntu: the Dropbox AppIndicator icon shows up as broken and the menu doesnt work. This isnt a new issue though, and it seems to occur starting with Ubuntu 14.04.
The issue occurs with the Dropbox packages in the official Ubuntu repositories (called "nautilus-dropbox", which doesnt depend on Nautilus and can be used to install Dropbox on any desktop environment) as well as the Dropbox package downloaded from its official website.
It does not occur with the caja-dropbox package available in the official Ubuntu MATE 16.04 repository though (but it does occur in older Ubuntu MATE versions if youve enabled AppIndicators), because it was patched with a fix similar to the one in this article.
Below youll find a fix / workaround for this issue. Important: using the instructions below, Dropbox will use a tray (notification area) icon instead of an AppIndicator.
Heres a screenshot with the issue (taken in Xubuntu 16.04):
And another screenshot taken after using the fix below:
Tested in Xubuntu 16.04, Xubuntu 14.04, Lubuntu 16.04, Ubuntu MATE 16.04 (the issue does not occur with the caja-dropbox package in this Ubuntu MATE version) and Ubuntu MATE 14.04.
To fix it, you need to add "dbus-launch" before the actual command for the "Exec" line in both the application autostart file and launcher. For Dropbox this is a bit tricky because it overwrites any modifications to its autostart file. So heres what you need to do to fix this Dropbox issue:
- if youve installed Dropbox by downloading the .deb from its website or by using the nautilus-dropbox package from the repositories:
- rename the Dropbox autostart file, located in ~/.config/autostart/, and edit the file, changing the "Exec" line to "Exec=dbus-launch dropbox start -i";
- copy the Dropbox desktop file, located under /usr/share/applications/, to ~/.local/share/applications/, so its not overwritten when updating the package, and change the "Exec" line to "Exec=dbus-launch dropbox start -i"
- disable the built-in Dropbox autostart (because it automatically creates an autostart file) using the "dropbox autostart n" command.
- for the caja-dropbox package (except for Ubuntu MATE 16.04 which doesnt have this issue):
- rename the dropbox-caja autostart file, located in ~/.config/autostart/, and edit the file, changing the "Exec" line to "Exec=dbus-launch caja-dropbox start -i";
- copy the caja-dropbox desktop file, located under /usr/share/applications/, to ~/.local/share/applications/, so its not overwritten when updating the package, and change the "Exec" line to "Exec=dbus-launch caja-dropbox start -i";
- disable the built-in Dropbox autostart (because it automatically creates an autostart file) using the "caja-dropbox autostart n" command.
This sounds a bit complicated on a first look, right? Well, its not, but to make it easier, you can use the following commands to apply the changes I mentioned above.
If youve installed Dropbox by downloading the .deb from its website or by using the nautilus-dropbox package, you can fix the broken Dropbox appindicator icon and menu by using the following commands:
cp ~/.config/autostart/dropbox.desktop ~/.config/autostart/start_dropbox.desktop
sed -i s/^Exec=.*/Exec=dbus-launch dropbox start -i/ ~/.config/autostart/start_dropbox.desktop
dropbox autostart n
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
cp /usr/share/applications/dropbox.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
sed -i s/^Exec=.*/Exec=dbus-launch dropbox start -i/ ~/.local/share/applications/dropbox.desktopFor Ubuntu MATE (except 16.04), if youve used the dropbox-caja package to install Dropbox, you can fix the broken Dropbox appindicator icon and menu by using the following commands:
cp ~/.config/autostart/caja-dropbox.desktop ~/.config/autostart/start_caja-dropbox.desktop
sed -i s/^Exec=.*/Exec=dbus-launch caja-dropbox start -i/ ~/.config/autostart/start_caja-dropbox.desktop
caja-dropbox autostart n
mkdir -p ~/.local/share/applications/
cp /usr/share/applications/caja-dropbox.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
sed -i s/^Exec=.*/Exec=dbus-launch caja-dropbox start -i/ ~/.local/share/applications/caja-dropbox.desktopThen restart the session (logout/login) and the Dropbox icon and menu should work correctly.

Fix Large Black Borders Around Header Bar Apps With Some Themes In Ubuntu 15 10 GTK 3 16
Fix Large Black Borders Around Header Bar Apps With Some Themes In Ubuntu 15 10 GTK 3 16
In Ubuntu 15.10 (which uses GTK 3.16), theres a bug which causes some themes, like Numix, to have large black borders.
This bug only occurs for applications that use header bars (client-side decorations) and it affects Ubuntu (with Unity), while Xubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Ubuntu GNOME dont seem to be affected (at least in my quick test). Update: MATE with Compiz enabled is also affected so I guess any desktop environment under which you use Compiz is affected (thanks to pawelp!).
Heres a screenshot with GNOME Clocks (an app that uses header bars) under Unity (Ubuntu 15.10), using Numix GTK theme:
Im not sure when/if this bug will be fixed but until then, you can fix it yourself. Below youll find a simple fix which will remove the black borders no matter what GTK theme youre using.
To fix the large black borders bug in Ubuntu, open ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css (create the ~/.config/gtk-3.0 folder if it doesnt exist) with a text editor (Ill use Gedit below):
mkdir -p ~/.config/gtk-3.0
gedit ~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css.window-frame {
box-shadow: none;
margin: 1px;
}This forces any theme you use to have a 1 pixel border. You can use any value you want - for instance, use "0" for borderless windows.
Then save the file and close all the applications affected by the black border bug (or you can log out and log back in), then try them again and you shouldnt see large black borders any more.
Heres the same application Ive used above to show the bug (GNOME Clocks, running under Unity), after applying the fix:
Thanks to Phaeilo @ GitHub for the fix!

Enpass Password Manager Gets ownCloud WebDAV Sync Support Debian Ubuntu Repository
Enpass Password Manager Gets ownCloud WebDAV Sync Support Debian Ubuntu Repository
Enpass for Linux was updated today with ownCloud/WebDAV sync support, improved search functionality and more. Theres also a new Debian/Ubuntu repository for easily installing and updating Enpass.
Enpass is a multi-platform password manager which had its first Linux release back in February. The application is available for iOS, Android, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and for desktops: Windows, Mac and Linux. The desktop apps are free to use with no limitations while the mobile apps offer in-app purchases (Android, iOS) or cost 9.99$ (Windows Phone).
While Enpass is not open source software, it uses SQLCipher, an open source extension to SQLite that provides transparent 256-bit AES encryption of database files.
For more information please see our previous Enpass article.
The latest Enpass for Linux brings two highly demanded improvements: ownCloud/WebDAV sync support (the app could already sync to Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, Box or a folder, for use with other apps) as well as a Debian/Ubuntu repository which you can use to easily install the app and receive automatic updates.
Also, while Enpass is only available for 64bit on Linux, the newly released repository provides both 32bit and 64bit packages.
Other changes in the latest Enpass 4.6.0 include:
- Password fields will now keep history of last 5 passwords;
- Password Strength detection algorithm is improved;
- Search functionality is improved;
- Show number of items in Sidebar;
- Option to change Enpass data Location;
- Search can be restricted to titles only;
- Translations are improved;
- Other bug fixes.
Download Enpass
Debian, Ubuntu (as well as other Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions like Linux Mint, elementary OS, etc.) users can install Enpass for both 32bit and 64bit by using its new official repository. Add the repository and install Enpass using the following commands:
sudo apt-get install curl
curl -s http://repo.sinew.in/keys/enpass-linux.key | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb http://repo.sinew.in/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/enpass.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install enpassDownload Enpass Password Manager (available for desktops: Linux 64-bit only, Mac OS X and Windows as well as mobile: iOS, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry)
