I have a dual monitor setup, and I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
I have changed the positioning of the monitors several times, and now for some reason some of the windows open up off-screen (outside of both screens), Update Manager, for instance.
How can I position the windows on one of my screens?
You can get the window back on your screen by using
ALT + spacebar
This would show you the maximize/minimize/ ... options. Click maximize and it would occupy your screen.
You can also hit "move" and then either your mouse or arrow keys to move the window to your current window.
Be sure to have the off-screen window selected (use Alt-Tab or Super-W for example). Then hold Alt+F7 and move the window with the cursor keys until it appears in the viewport.
When this happens to me the hidden window is usually below the screen (I occasionally use two screens with one on top of the other, a setup that agrees well with a laptop on a desk). If you use Super-W to select the window, you can guess where it is by looking at the animations. Holding Alt+F7+Up brings the window into view for me.
I made a little script to fix a similiar bug I have in ubuntu 15.04 with two screens: https://github.com/mezga0153/offscreen-window-restore
The script makes use of the wmctrl command line tool to find the offscreen windows and then uses wmctrl to place each one back into a visible area.

I am running the latest version of GNOME and Wayland on my Manjaro computer. When I connect my second monitor and extend my display, one screen flickers and the mouse icon leaves a trail, with a black background. However, I can still open applications and drag them to the second screen, which works fine. Mirror mode for two screens works great. What could be causing this issue and how can I fix it?
After trying some more things, it seems everything except the background is working, the bottom bar is working, when i press super key it will take me to menu where I can move.
When I try to screenshot the buggy monitor it just screenshots the normal background. (The background picture)
I tried updating GNOME and Wayland, also tried to update the whole system with pacman -Syu to no avail. Tried looking it up but couldn't find anything.

Ok so I know it's a weird case but hang in here with me.
So the thing is I've got an very old laptop running ubuntu 14.04 server without any desktop aka shell only. BUT the laptop also has a touch screen so we want to be able to use the "mouse"/touchscreen/touchpad to select text inside the terminal and/or click/copy/paste/cut/etc. It's part of art project with some students and also one of the tasks is to run as less as possible. So running a desktop in the background is not really an option. My question is:
Is there a way to start the Ubuntu terminal as UI application in fullscreen without the actual desktop in the background but giving the functionality of an mouse cursor.
(If someone knows a even better solution for adding a mouse without starting the desktop its appreciated)
Try this: create a ~/.xinitrc with content : exec gnome-terminal, then run startx
Or another solution is to stay in tty and install gpm for mouse control

I'm currently using an extra monitor so I'm running two tmux sessions in two separate terminals (one for each screen). The problem is every time I want to move between screens I have to manually move my cursor and click the other screen before my cursor will move over, this is super annoying. I'm on MacOS 10.12, using v2.7 of Terminal and v2.2 of tmux.
I've currently tried:
cmd + shift + arrow keys, but that only works when the tabs are actually stuck together on the same screen
Using tmux switch -t [] or tmux attach -t [] doesn't manually move the cursor over, it just changes the current screens session, syncing the one session onto both screens.
Just using one session, but there's this annoying quirk where the external monitors dimensions fit to my macbooks smaller screen size. From here it states that tmux "limits the dimensions of a window to the smallest of each dimension across all the sessions to which the window is attached. If it did not do this there would be no sensible way to display the whole window area for all the attached clients." So there's no way to fix that I think.
Is there some easy command to move between the two terminal windows?
Command-backquote (⌘-`) cycles through the open windows in Terminal.

I am not a big fan of the "pinnable" taskbar feature that was introduced in Windows 7 and which has carried through to Windows 10.
I tend to customise back to classic taskbar items. However, in Windows 10 there seems to be default items (Microsoft Edge and File Explorer) pinned which cannot be removed (normally which I do through a right click -> Unpin):
Is it possible to remove these?
EDIT:
Right clicking produces a menu with no "unpin" options. I also do not have Edge or File Explorer running:
Whilst I see that you have tried to right click, the Unpin option is available for me when I right-click:
I have tried this in Win 10 Enterprise RTM.
Edge is running, with a couple of tabs open.
What version of Win10 are you running?
Can you try same again with Edge running and a few pages open? (long shot)
This also "works on my machine" for unpinning folder explorer too:
August 12th... I can't right click on any icons in the taskbar. I currently have the search icon, File Explorer icon, Firefox, Chrome, CCleaner, and "Edge"... no menus appear for any of them. I will never use Edge or whatever the latest incarnation of IE is. No unpin option, no menu at all. Just installed Win10 last night.
edit: Restarted, turns out there were updates I was unaware of. I am able to pin and unpin as usual... problem is fixed.

I am connecting to a Linux system via PuTTY. I am using GNU screen.
Once I input a command on the screen, I am unable to create a new one or do anything else until this command gets completed. I have a feeling I am going about this all wrong.
When it says Ctrl + A, C, what does this mean? How do I get those keys listed on How To Use Linux Screen?
I am currently having to create multiple sessions of PuTTY.
Once you have executed the command screen you're now in a screen session. You can create new windows (think of them like tabs) and switch between them. To create a window, you use the command Ctrl-a c. This means:
Hold down Ctrl and a simultaneously (this tells screen you'd like to issue it the following command...)
Release the keys
Press c (create new window button)
This should create a new window in the screen session (you now have two).
To switch between windows you, again, use the Ctrl-a command followed by the number of the window you'd like to switch to. E.g., Ctrl-a 0 will take you home.
Ctrl-a " will list the windows you have active.
Ctrl-a k closes the current active window.
Ctrl-a d "Detaches" the screen session, you are moved back to the terminal where you invoked screen. Your screen session is still running in a background process, to return to it use Ctrl-a x.
