This period of time is more use of Ubuntu to work, mainly because of the camera data acquisition, this processing is planned to be placed in the background Hadoop cluster machine, so need to compile the Linux version, so in passing using Linux to work.

Switching from Windows to Linux, it's hard to change the operating habits of windows, package commands and software, but now has installed the WINEQQ, but also with wine installed RTX, is still relatively normal. But the daily transmission of data in the local area network, how to say all is not to fly autumn Ah, so installed Iptux.

Yesterday, the hand is cheap, opened the Iptux configuration window, accidentally saw an option "automatically hide the panel after the program started", thought to be automatically minimized, so it was checked. Today after the boot, found that the window is a flash past, and then can not find out, with PS check see the process is running, this is how I send files to others ...

After Baidu, or see someone said the solution, just a few lines of description

(1) Kill the process Iptux

(2) CD ~/.gconf/apps/iptux

(3) Rm-f%gconf.xml

(4) Gconftool-2-recursive-unset/apps/iptux

It is true that the initial configuration can be achieved through the above steps, but the instructions are missing the instructions "Restart the computer after the operation is completed" , and we do not know what the last operation above is doing and what it does.

After Baidu and hands-on operation, finally understand some, the following in accordance with their own understanding to write down to do a memorial it.

The first (1) (2) (3) is a simple operation, not much to say.

Step (4) to use the gconftool-2, what is this, what is the use of it?

Specific description can look at this link inside the description: Based on the GNOME2 Desktop GConf configuration system, and Gconftool-2 is a command line tool, can provide data manipulation in the GCONF, specific parameter description can look at this page: Linux system GNOME 2.2 Desktop Administration Guide.

Applications can keep some of their configuration information in gconf, which can be managed as a unified setup, similar to the registry under Windows, where many applications under Windows use the registry to record configuration information.

gconftool-2-recursive-unset/apps/iptux do is to restore the configuration information to the default configuration so that it does not come with the records I have manually configured.

Let's use--all-entries to see how the data changes before and after the operation:

A. After the first installation after Iptux, all configuration information is as follows:

B. When the "Auto-hide panel after program starts" tick is checked in the Iptux configuration window, all the configuration information becomes:
