Hello out there in admin land!
It is I, El Di Pablo here to bring you a quick Ubuntu tip for the week. I haven't written on aTa in a while due to my hectic schedule, but I am sure you have seen me milling about the comments quite a bit.
Anyhoo, so there I am last night, screwing around on my Ubuntu laptop surfing porn doing homework when I noticed that all of my minimize and maximize buttons were missing from my windows. The only way to minimize and maximize my windows were to right click on the bottom task bar and select it from the menu. WTF?!?!?
Well, it turns out that those buttons aren't completely controlled by Gnome. For those buttons, Gnome uses a windows manager call Metacity. To get those buttons back I had to open a terminal and run the following command:
Once I did that, my buttons came back, and I was able to minimize and maximize like a mofo! Do you have any good Ubuntu tips/tricks you want to share? Hit us up in the comments!
