I have installed a virtual machine with Linux Mint 20 XFCE. I access it with Remmina VNC client over Opennebula's built-in VNC server. Everything if fine, except Vivaldi browser is crooked. (See attached screenshot). It does not behave like that all the time, just sporadically. All other programs behave. Any idea why?

I developed a GUI program which runs automatically in full-screen mode on ubuntu 16.04 computer after login. The user must not switch to other program, and never logout. So I needs to remove or hide the top bar(panel) of ubuntu desktop. I searched the ubuntu forms, found no answer. Does anybody know how to do it?.
I have a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Wheezy installed. I'm using TightVNC server on the Raspberry Pi and RealVNC on my MAC to connect to it. However, when I log in with RealVNC, I'm given a new session, with my own desktop, applications etc.
I want to login to the SAME session as the already running Raspberry, so I can refresh the browser etc (We're using this to display a company desktop application).
How can I achieve this?
I don't believe this is supported by TightVNC (which I think only does "Virtual" sessions). But I may be wrong...
The answer here: https://serverfault.com/questions/27044/how-to-vnc-into-an-existing-x-session suggests a few alternatives (at least ones which work on Fedora based Unix distros)
I know RealVNC can do it (it's known as "User Mode" or "Service Mode" as opposed to "Virtual Desktop" mode), but depending on your users, you may have to license it, or the free mode may suffice.
I just got a beaglebone today, loaded with the angstrom distribution of linux, and have hit a wall. Here is what I have done since opening the box:
Downloaded and installed 64 bit windows driver from http://beagleboard.org/static/beaglebone/latest/README.htm to allow me to attach my beagleboard via USB.
Downloaded putty from http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html
Set up putty with my COM (COM8) and a speed of 115200, then opened up my serial USB terminal to interface with the beagleboard.
At this point, whenever I do a wget command such as:
wget http://example.com/file.py
I get an error of:
wget: bad address 'example.com'
I am connected to the internet via wireless... is there a port I should be opening up or something? It seem as though wget just can't get to the web at all.
Am I limiting myself because I am not connected to the internet via ethernet? If that's the case, am I better off downloading the files to my windows box and transferring them manually?
The problem was, not surprisingly, the wireless connection.
My windows machine was connected to the beaglebone via USB, and to the ethernet via wireless.
Plugging an ethernet cable into the beaglebone solved the problem. Still, I would like to be able to do it through my windows box.
I am trying to run an app I created at work (I sent myself the .exe file) so that I could see how it looks on Windows 7.
My laptop (running 64-bit Windows 7) won't even open it, though. It opens some compatibility wizard to try to rectify whatever the problem is, but that doesn't work either.
Is there anything I need besides the .exe itself, that I should have copied over?
A team member using Windows 7 can run it (by checking it out of Subversion and running it in the VS IDE, anyway), but the display if "off" (The FlowLayoutPanel's controls are experiencing a kind of "wardrobe malfunction"). But I, as mentioned, can't even run it.
What might be the problem/solution?
If you are running the Professional edition of Windows 7 or higher then it will include the option to install the "Windows XP Virtual Machine". You can then run your app as normal under the virtual machine, quckest and easiest way to resolve these sort of issues in Windows 7.
I come from a Linux/Unix development background and my latest job uses a Windows XP based development environment. I find that I'm missing a lot of functionality that I got used to when working with Linux and KDE 4. Particularly the Konsole application. I noticed that there is a beta of KDE 4 with several ports of KDE applications for Windows XP/Vista/7. Does anybody here have any experience with these ports?
Konsole is not available as part of the Windows KDE port, because Windows doesn't provide the Unix "pseudo terminal" (pty) interface that terminal emulators need to communicate with the programs running in them. For that, you need Cygwin (or one of the other Unix layers for Windows, but I'm not aware of KDE ports for them). Cygwin of course also gives you all the usual Unix command line utilities.
The Cygwin distro itself does not provide KDE, but an additional package collection called Cygwin Ports does. This includes Konsole. You'll need an X server, with x.org provided by Cygwin being the obvious choice.
Note, however, that getting the X server and KDE working with Cygwin requires quite a bit more fiddling than it does with the likes of Kubuntu or OpenSuse. For something simpler, although lacking tabs, you might want to have a look at Cygwin's mintty, which is an xterm-compatible terminal with a native Windows user interface that doesn't require an X server.
