GNOME is a desktop environment developed by The GNOME Project.
GNOME 3 has two sessions:
- GNOME is the default, innovative layout.
- GNOME Classic is a traditional desktop layout, similar to the GNOME 2 user interface whilst using GNOME 3 technologies. It does so through the use of pre-activated extensions and parameters (see here for a list). Hence it is more of a customized GNOME Shell than a truly distinct mode.
Both of them use GNOME Shell, a desktop shell and plugin of the Mutter window manager. Mutter acts as a composite manager for the desktop, employing hardware graphics acceleration to provide effects aimed at reducing screen clutter. GNOME session manager automatically detects if your video driver is capable of running GNOME Shell and if not, falls back to software rendering using llvmpipe.

GNOME 3 is available in the official repositories and can be installed with one of the following:
- The gnome-shell package provides a minimal desktop shell.
- The gnome group contains the core desktop environment and applications required for the standard GNOME experience.
- The gnome-extra group contains various optional tools such as an editor, an archive manager, a disk burner, a mail client, games, development tools and other non-critical applications that integrate well with the GNOME desktop. Installing just the gnome-extra group will not pull in the whole gnome group via dependencies. If you want to install all GNOME packages then you will need to explicitly install both groups.
Starting GNOME
Graphical log-in
For the best desktop integration, GDM (the GNOME Display manager) is recommended. GDM is installed as part of the gnome group and can be used by enabling
gdm.service using systemd.
Other display managers can be used in place of GDM if desired.
Starting GNOME manually
If you prefer to start GNOME manually from the console, add the following line to your
~/.xinitrc file:
exec gnome-session
exec env GNOME_SHELL_SESSION_MODE=classic gnome-session --session gnome-classic for GNOME Classic. After editing your
~/.xinitrc, GNOME can be launched by typing
See xinitrc for details, such as preserving the logind session.
After setting up your
~/.xinitrc file you can also arrange to Start X at Login so that you don't have to run
startx manually.
Using the shell
GNOME Cheat Sheet
The GNOME Shell Cheat Sheet on the GNOME Wiki explains task switching, keyboard use, window control, the panel, overview mode, and more.
Restarting the shell
After appearance tweaks you are often asked to restart the GNOME shell. You could log out and log back in, but it is simpler and faster to issue the following keyboard command. Restart the shell by pressing
Alt +
F2 then
r then
Shell crashes
Certain tweaks and/or repeated shell restarts may cause the shell to crash when a restart is attempted. In this case, you are informed about the crash and then forced to log out. Some shell changes cannot be accomplished via a keyboard restart; you must log out and log back in to effect them.
Shell freezes
Sometimes shell extensions freeze the GNOME Shell. In this case a possible strategy is to switch to another terminal via
Ctrl+Alt+F2 through
Ctrl+Alt+F6, log in, and restart gnome-shell with:
# pkill -HUP gnome-shell
All open applications will still be available after restarting the shell.
Sometimes, however, merely restarting the shell might not be enough. Then you will have to restart X, losing all work in progress. You can restart X by:
# pkill X
The GNOME Shell then restarts automatically.
If this does not work, you can try to restart your login manager. For instance, if you use GDM, try:
# systemctl restart gdm.service
Pacman integration: GNOME PackageKit
GNOME has its own Pacman GUI: gnome-packagekit.
Using the alpm backend, it supports the following features:
- Install and remove packages from the repos.
- Periodically refresh package databases and prompt for updates.
- Install packages from tarballs.
- Search for packages by name, description, category or file.
- Show package dependencies, files and reverse dependencies.
- Ignore IgnorePkgs and hold HoldPkgs.
- Report optional dependencies, .pacnew files, etc.
You can change the
remove operation from -Rc to -Rsc by setting the DConf key
Packages updates notifications
If you want GNOME to check automatically for updates, you must install gnome-settings-daemon-updates from the official repository.
Customizing GNOME appearance
The Systems Settings tool (provided by gnome-control-center) is a simple and streamlined panel which covers most basic settings.
More elaborate graphical customization (such as modifying fonts, themes, titlebar buttons and such) can be done using the graphical GNOME tweak tool. gnome-tweak-tool is available from the official repositories. See #Theming below for more information about the subject.
More extensive customisation may require more low-level configuration, using #gsettings and dconf.
To install a new theme or icon set, put it in
~/.local/share/themes or
~/.local/share/icons. You can then activate it using GNOME tweak tool, that is described above.
Alternatively, you can set a GTK (icon) theme via
~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. In this file you can set the GTK theme (
gtk-theme-name), the icon theme (
gtk-icon-theme-name), the font (
gtk-font-name) and more.
Adwaita, the default GNOME 3 theme, is a part of gnome-themes-standard. Additional GTK3 themes can be found at Deviantart web site. For example:
[Settings] gtk-theme-name = Adwaita # next option is applicable only if selected theme supports it gtk-application-prefer-dark-theme = true # set font name and dimension gtk-font-name = Sans 10
It is necessary to restart the GNOME shell for settings to be applied. More GTK options are found at GNOME developer documentation.
gsettings and dconf
dconf is a data store used by GNOME to store its settings. It can be edited with the graphical
dconf-editor or the command line
gsettings tool. See Customizing the GNOME Shell for a tutorial on using gsettings.
Customize top bar
Show date in top bar
By default GNOME displays only the weekday and time in the top bar. This can be changed with the following command. Changes take effect immediately.
# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface clock-show-date true
Hiding icons in the top bar
When installing GNOME, some unwanted icons might appear in the panel. These icons can be removed by manually editing the GNOME panel script.
For example, to remove the keyboard button, comment out the
'keyboard' line in
const PANEL_ITEM_IMPLEMENTATIONS = { 'activities': ActivitiesButton, 'aggregateMenu': AggregateMenu, 'appMenu': AppMenuButton, 'dateMenu': imports.ui.dateMenu.DateMenuButton, 'a11y': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATIndicator, 'a11yGreeter': imports.ui.status.accessibility.ATGreeterIndicator, //'keyboard': imports.ui.status.keyboard.InputSourceIndicator, };
Then, save your results and restart the shell:
Eliminate delay when logging out
The following tweak removes the confirmation dialog and sixty second delay for logging out.
This dialog normally appears when you log out with the status menu. This tweak affects the Power Off dialog as well. This is not a system-wide change; it affects only the user who enters this command. The change takes effect immediately after entering the command:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.SessionManager logout-prompt 'false'
Show system monitor
The system-monitor extension is included in the gnome-shell-extensions package. The git version is available as gnome-shell-system-monitor-applet-gitAUR in the AUR.
Show weather information
The Weather extension can be installed from the official extension website. The git version is available as gnome-shell-extension-weather-gitAUR in the AUR.
Activity view
Remove entries from Applications view
Like most desktop environments, GNOME uses .desktop files to populate its Applications view. These text files are located in the
/usr/share/applications folder. It is not possible to edit these files from a folder view ‒ Nautilus does not treat their icons as text files. Use a terminal to display or edit .desktop file entries. You will need root privileges to edit the .desktop files.
# ls /usr/share/applications # nano /usr/share/applications/foo.desktop
For system wide changes, edit files in
/usr/share/applications. For local changes, make a copy of foo.desktop in your home folder.
$ cp /usr/share/applications/foo.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/
Edit .desktop files to fit your wishes.
To hide an application launcher open its .desktop file in a text editor and add the following line:
Sort applications into folders
Gnome 3.12 allows the user to sort applications into folders. A GUI for this is provided by Gnome Software, which Arch does not package (due to PackageKit incompatibilities). However, applications can still be sorted into folders manually via dconf. To add a folder, navigate via dconf to
org.gnome.desktop.app-folders and set the value of
folder-children to an array of comma separated folder names:
['Utilities', 'Sundry']
To add applications to these folders, use
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ apps "['alacarte.desktop', 'dconf-editor.desktop']"
This adds the applications corresponding to
alacarte.desktop and
dconf-editor.desktop' to the Sundry folder.
This will also create the folder
org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folders.Sundry. The constituents of the folder can be updated from dconf or from
gsettings, by appending applications to the list.
To name the folder (if it has no name it will simply appear at the top of the applications), set the name key via
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ name "Sundry"
Applications can also be sorted by their category (specified in their
.desktop file):
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ categories "['Office']"
If certain applications matching a category are not wanted in a certain folder, exclusions can be set:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.app-folders.folder:/org/gnome/desktop/app-folders/folders/Sundry/ excluded-apps "['libreoffice-draw.desktop']"
For further information, refer to the app-folders schema.
Change icon size
For applications in activity view
To change the application icon size it is necessary to edit the GNOME-Shell theme.
You can edit system files directly (make a backup first) or copy theme files to your local folder and edit these files.
- For the default theme, edit
- For user themes, edit
Edit gnome-shell.css and replace the following values. Afterward, restart the GNOME shell.
... /* Application Launchers and Grid */ .icon-grid { spacing: 18px; -shell-grid-horizontal-item-size: 82px; -shell-grid-vertical-item-size: 82px; } .icon-grid .overview-icon { icon-size: 48px; } ...
In dash
GNOME's Activities view has a dash on the left hand side, the size of the icons in this dash will scale depending on the amount of icons set to display. The scaling can be manipulated or set to a constant icon size. To do so, edit
... let iconSizes = [ 16, 22, 24, 32, 48, 64 ]; ...
For switcher (alt-tab)
GNOME comes with a built in task switcher, the size of the icons in this task switcher will scale depending on the amount of icons set to display. The scaling can be manipulated or set to a constant icon size. To do so, edit
... const iconSizes = [96, 64, 48, 32, 22]; ...
For system tray
GNOME comes with a built in system tray, visible when the mouse is hovered over the bottom right corner of the screen. The size of the icons in this tray is set to a fixed value of 24. To change this value, edit
Disable hot corner hovering
Activity view
To disable automatic activity view when the hot corner is hovered, edit
/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/layout.js (that was panel.js in GNOME 3.0.x) :
this._corner = new Clutter.Rectangle({ name: 'hot-corner', width: 1, height: 1, opacity: 0, reactive: true });icon-size: 48px; }
and set
reactive to
false. GNOME Shell needs to be restarted.
Message Tray
The message tray is shown when the mouse hovers at the bottom of the screen for one second. To disable this behavior, comment out the following line in
//pointerWatcher.addWatch(TRAY_DWELL_CHECK_INTERVAL, Lang.bind(this, this._checkTrayDwell));
GNOME Shell needs to be restarted. The message tray is still visible in activity view.
Reduce title bar height
- global - edit
/usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml, search for
title_vertical_padand reduce its value to a minimum of
- user-only - copy
/home/$USER/.local/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml, search for
title_vertical_padand reduce its value to a minimum of
Then restart the GNOME shell.
To restore the original values, install the package gnome-themes-standard from the official repositories or remove
At present this setting can be changed through dconf-editor.
For example, to move the close and minimize buttons to the left side of the titlebar, open dconf-editor and locate the org.gnome.shell.overrides.button_layout key. Change its value to
close,minimize: (colon symbol designates the spacer between left side and right side of the titlebar). Place the buttons in your preferred order. You cannot use a button more than once. Also, keep in mind that certain buttons are deprecated. Restart the shell to see your new button arrangement.
Hide titlebar when maximized
The command below will hide the titlebar when windows are maximised:
# sed -i -r 's|(<frame_geometry name="max")|\1 has_title="false"|' /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml
After entering the command restart the GNOME shell. After this tweak, you may find it difficult to un-maximize a window when there is no titlebar to grab.
With suitable keybindings, you should be able to use
Alt+F10 or
Alt+Space to remedy the situation.
To prevent
metacity-theme-3.xml from being overwritten each time package gnome-themes-standard is upgraded, add its name to
/etc/pacman.conf with
... previous lines ... # Pacman will not upgrade packages listed in IgnorePkg and members of IgnoreGroup # IgnorePkg = # IgnoreGroup = NoUpgrade = usr/share/themes/Adwaita/metacity-1/metacity-theme-3.xml # Do not add a leading slash to the path ... more lines ...
To restore original Adwaita theme values, install the gnome-themes-standard package.
Miscellaneous settings
Power Management
Turn off Suspend-To-RAM (S3) when closing the LID
This setting is not available in GNOME, gnome-control-center and dconf make this available. The current approach is to manage this on the level of systemd. Edit
/etc/systemd/logind.conf, uncomment the
HandleLidSwitch line and set it to
See the Power management#ACPI_events article for more information.
No reaction on lid close
When configuring the lid close events via Power management#ACPI_events, the settings may seem to have no effect. If you have an external monitor connected to your laptop, this is default GNOME behaviour. Disconnect the monitor and the settings should work, otherwise your
/etc/systemd/logind.conf may be incorrect.
To change default behaviour open the
dconf-editor and change
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xrandr.default-monitors-setup to
Change Critical Battery Level Action (for Laptops)
The System Settings panel only allows the user to choose between Suspend or Hibernate. To choose another option such as Do Nothing open the
dconf-editor and navigate to
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power. Edit the
"critical-battery-action" value to
Switch back scrolling behavior
If you do not like the new scrollbar behavior just put
gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false under the
[Settings] section in
[Settings] gtk-primary-button-warps-slider = false ...
Autostarting / Automatic program launch upon logging in
As of Gnome 3.12
gnome-session-properties is deprecated. Specify which programs start automatically after logging in using
alacarte provides a more complete menu editor for adding/editing menu entries.
Gnome Terminal
Inner padding
To move the terminal output away from the window borders create the stylesheet
~/.config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the following setting:
TerminalScreen { -VteTerminal-inner-border: 10px 10px 10px 10px; }
Disable blinking cursor
Since Gnome 3.8 and the migration to gsettings and dconf the key required to modify in order to disable the blinking cursor in the Terminal differs slightly in contrast to the old gconf key. To disable the blinking cursor in Gnome 3.8 use:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-blink false
If you prefer dconf to the gsettings CLI then open
dconf-editor, go to org -> gnome -> desktop -> interface and untick the option labelled cursor-blink.
To disable the blinking cursor in Terminal only use (make sure profile uid is correct one):
dconf write /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:b1dcc9dd-5262-4d8d-a863-c897e6d979b9/cursor-blink-mode "'off'"
Make new tabs inherit current directory (for Gnome Terminal 3.8+)
In Gnome 3.8, the behaviour of how current directories are tracked has changed. To restore this behaviour, you need to source the
/etc/profile.d/vte.sh file, put this in your
~/.bashrc or
~/.zshrc for zsh users:
source /etc/profile.d/vte.sh
For more information refer to the Gnome wiki.
Move dialog windows
The default configuration for dialogs will not allow you to move them which causes problems in some cases. To change this you will need to use gconf-editor and change this setting:
After the change you will need to restart the shell for it to take affect.
GNOME shell extensions
GNOME Shell can be customized with extensions. These provide features such as a dock or a widget for changing the theme.
Many extensions are collected and hosted by extensions.gnome.org. They can be browsed and installed simply activating them in the browser. More information about gnome shell extensions can be found here.
See when an extension breaks GNOME for troubleshooting information.
Default Applications
While one can right click any file and set the default applications in 'Preferences', the settings are actually saved in
$HOME/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list and
/usr/share/applications/mimeapps.list file yourself.
File browser/replace Nautilus
You can specify a different file manager in the mimeapps.list file as shown below:
User only: add the line
inode/directory=myfilemanager.desktop to
Systemwide: add the line
inode/directory=myfilemanager.desktop to
Where my filemanager.desktop is the correct .desktop file for the file manager of your choice.
Alternatively you can trick GNOME into using another file browser by editing the
Exec line in
/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop. See the correct parameters in the
.desktop file of the file manager of your choice, e.g.:
[...] Exec=thunar %F OR Exec=pcmanfm %U OR Exec=nemo %U [...]
PDF viewer
In some cases when you have installed Inkscape or other graphic programs Evince Document Viewer might no longer be selected as the default PDF application. If it is not available in the Open With entry which would be the GUI solution, you can use the following user command to make it the default application again:
xdg-mime default evince.desktop application/pdf
gsettings (which replaces
gconftool-2) is used to set the default terminal. The setting affects nautilus-open-terminal (a Nautilus extension).
To make urxvt the default, run:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec urxvtc gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "'-e'"
-e flag is for executing a command. When nautilus-open-terminal invokes
urxvtc, it puts a
cd command at the end of the command line so that the new terminal starts in the directory you opened it from. Other terminals will require a different (perhaps empty)
By default, GNOME 3 disables middle mouse button emulation regardless of Xorg settings (Emulate3Buttons). To enable middle mouse button emulation use:
$ gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.mouse middle-button-enabled true
Display dimming
By default GNOME 3 has a ten second idle timeout to dim the screen regardless of the battery and AC state:
# gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-time
To set a new value type the following
# gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power idle-dim-time <int>
where <int> is the value in seconds.
Changing hotkeys
Certain hotkeys cannot be changed directly via the System Settings panel. In order to change these keys, use dconf-editor. An example of particular note is the hotkey Alt-Above_Tab. On US keyboards, this is Alt-`: is a hotkey often used in the Emacs editor. It can be changed by opening dconf-editor and modifying the switch-group key found in
It is possible to manually change the keys via an application's so-called accel map file. Where it is to be found is up to the application: For instance, Thunar's is at ~/.config/Thunar/accels.scm, whereas Nautilus's is located at ~/.config/nautilus/accels and ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus on old release.
The file should contain a list of possible hotkeys, each unchanged line commented out with a leading ";" that has to be removed for a change to become active. For example to replace the hotkey used by Nautilus to move files to the trash folder, change the line:
; (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Trash" "<Primary>Delete")
to this:
(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Trash" "Delete")
The file is regenerated regularly so do not comment the file. The uncommented line will stay but every comment you add will be lost.
Hotkeys in Nautilus 3.4 and older
Firstly, use dconf-editor to place a checkmark next to
can-change-accels in the key named org.gnome.desktop.interface.
We will replace the hotkey — a.k.a. keyboard shortcut, keyboard accelerator — used by Nautilus to move files to the trash folder.
The default assignment is a somewhat-awkward
- Open Nautilus, select any file, and click Edit on the menu bar.
- Hover over the Move to Trash menu item.
- While hovering, press
Delete. The current accelerator is now unset.
- Press the key that you wish to become the new keyboard accelerator.
- Press
Deleteto make the new accelerator be the Delete key.
Unless you select a file or folder, Move to Trash will be grayed-out. Finally, disable
can-change-accels to prevent accidental hotkey changes.
Screencast recording
Gnome features the built-in possbility to create screencasts easily. Thereby Control+Shift+Alt+R keybinding starts and stops the recording. A red circle is displayed in the bottom right corner of the screen when the recording is in progress. After the recording is finished, a file named 'Screencast from %d%u-%c.webm' is saved in the Videos directory. In order to use the screencast feature you need to have installed the gst plugins which are:
$ pacman -Qs gst
Modify Keyboard with XkbOptions
Using the dconf-editor, navigate to the key named
org.gnome.desktop.input-sources.xkb-options and add desired XkbOptions (e.g. caps:swapescape) to the list.
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg for all XkbOptions and
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/* for the respective descriptions.
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace combination to terminate Xorg, use the gnome-tweak-tool from official repositories. Within the Tweak Tool, navigate to Typing > Terminate and select the option
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace from the dropdown menu.
Toggle keyboard layouts
Since Gnome does not consider any configuration in
/etc/X11/conf.d/*.conf you have to set the command for layout switching either via the control center with the options Switch to previous source and Switch to next source or if you want to use Alt - Shift combination you have to use the Gnome-Tweak-Tool and set Typing -> Modifiers-only input sources -> select Alt-shift. For more information see also the forum thread.
HiDPI Support (Retina Screens)
See HiDPI.
Other tips
See GNOME Tips.
Tracker (search program)
The tracker provides the Tracker program, an indexing application. You can configure it with
tracker-preferences, and monitor status with
tracker-control. Once installed, indexing should start automatically when you log in. You can explicitly start indexing with
tracker-control -s. Search settings can also be configured in the System Settings panel.
Totem (movie player)
Totem is a movie player based on GStreamer. For information about adding codecs or hardware acceleration, see GStreamer.
Empathy (integrated messaging) and GNOME Online Accounts
Empathy, the engine behind integrated messaging, GNOME Online Accounts, and all other system settings based on messaging accounts will not function correctly unless the telepathy group of packages or at least one of the backends (telepathy-gabble, or telepathy-haze, for example) is installed.
These packages are not included in either the gnome or gnome-extra groups . You can install the Telepathy and optionally any backends with:
# pacman -S telepathy
Without telepathy, Empathy will not open the account management dialog and can get stuck in this state. If this happens -- even after quitting Empathy cleanly -- the
/usr/bin/empathy-accounts application can remain running and will need to be killed before you can add any new accounts. Likewise, without telepathy installed, the 'Add an online account' button in GNOME Online Accounts will do nothing.
View descriptions of telepathy components on the freedesktop.org telepathy wiki.
Avahi daemon is required for connecting with the People Nearby account, and also in order for some desktop extensions to work correctly like Chat Status.
Cannot change settings in dconf-editor
When one cannot set settings in dconf, it is possible their dconf user settings are corrupt. In this case it is best to delete the user dconf files in
~/.config/dconf/user* and set the settings in dconf-editor after.
When an extension breaks GNOME
When enabling shell extensions causes GNOME breakage, you should first remove the user-theme and auto-move-windows extensions from their installation directory.
The installation directory could be one of
/usr/share/gnome‑shell/extensions or
/usr/local/share/gnome‑shell/extensions. Removing these two extension-containing folders may fix the breakage. Otherwise, isolate the problem extension with trial‑and‑error.
Removing or adding an extension-containing folder to the aforementioned directories removes or adds the corresponding extension to your system. Details on GNOME Shell extensions are available at the GNOME web site.
Extensions do not work after GNOME 3 update
Locate the folder where your extensions are installed. It might be
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions or
Edit each occurrence of
metadata.json which appears in each extension sub-folder.
"shell-version": ["3.6"]
|Instead of (for example):
"shell-version": ["3.4"]
"3.x" indicates the extension works with every shell version. If it breaks, you will know to change it back.
Remove Gnome Shell Extensions
If you have trouble with uninstalling Gnome Extensions via https://extensions.gnome.org/local/, then probably they have been installed as system-wide extensions with
pacman -S gnome-shell-extensions before. To remove them, you have to be careful, because the following instruction removes all extensions from other user's, too:
# pacman -R gnome-shell-extensions
Following that, you refresh Gnome Shell by pressing ALT+F2 and entering
Then go to https://extensions.gnome.org/local/ again and have a look for your installed extensions list. It should have changed.
All other extensions should be removable by pressing the red X icon to the right. If not, something may be broken.
As a final step, you can remove them manually from
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/* and/or
/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions. Restart Gnome Shell again and you should be fine.
The "Windows" key
By default, this key is mapped to the "overlay-key" to launch the Overview. You can remove this key mapping to free up your
Windows Key (also called
Mod4), which GNOME calls
Super_L, by utilizing
gsettings set org.gnome.mutter overlay-key 'Foo';.
You can leave out Foo to simply remove any binding to that function.
Alt+F1 to launch the Overview.
Keyboard Shortcut do not work with only conky running
The gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts like
Alt+F1, and the media key shortcuts do not work if conky is the only program running. However if another application like gedit is running, then the keyboard shortcuts work.

This is possibly a bug in GNOME Shell which causes new windows to open behind others. Unchecking "workspaces_only_on_primary" in desktop/gnome/shell/windows using gconf-editor solves this problem.
Multiple monitors and dock extension
If you have multiple monitors configured using Nvidia Twinview, the dock extension may get sandwiched in-between the monitors. You can edit the source of this extension to reposition the dock to a position of your choosing.
/firstname.lastname@example.com/extension.js and locate this line in the source:
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-2, (primary.height-height)/2);
The first parameter is the X position of the dock display, by subtracting 15 pixels as opposed to 2 pixels from this it correctly positioned on my primary monitor, you can play around with any X,Y coordinate pair to position it correctly.
this.actor.set_position(primary.width-this._item_size-this._spacing-15, (primary.height-height)/2);
"Show Desktop" keyboard shortcut does not work
GNOME developers treated the corresponding binding as bug (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643609) due to Minimization being deprecated. To show the desktop again assign ALT+STRG+D to the following setting:
System Settings --> Keyboard --> Shortcuts --> Navigation --> Hide all normal windows
Unable to apply stored configuration for monitors
If you encounter this message try to disable the xrandr gnome-settings-daemon plugin :
$ dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/xrandr/active false
Some laptops have a touchpad lock button that disables the touchpad so that users can type without worrying about touching the touchpad. It appears currently that although GNOME can lock the touchpad by pressing this button, it cannot unlock it. If the touchpad gets locked you can do the following to unlock it:
- Start a terminal. You can do this by pressing
Alt+F2, then typing
gnome-terminalfollowed by pressing
- Type in the following command:
$ xinput set-prop "SynPS/2 Synaptics TouchPad" "Device Enabled" 1
Consistent cursor theme
You may find that the cursor theme used in GNOME is not consistent. For example, it may change when moving the cursor across different application windows. To fix this problem, set the cursor theme by creating an
index.theme file which defines the cursor theme according to the XDG icon theme specification. See the following section of the Cursor Themes article: Cursor_Themes#Using_an_index.theme_file_.28recommended.29.
Tracker & Documents do not list any local files
In order for Tracker (and, therefore, Documents) to detect your local files, they must be stored in directories that it knows of. If your documents are contained in one of the usual XDG standard directories (i.e. "Documents" or "Music"), you should install xdg-user-dirs and run:
# xdg-user-dirs-update
This will create all of the usual XDG home directories if they do not already exist and it will create the config file definining these directories that Tracker and Documents depend upon.
Passwords are not remembered
If you get a password prompt every time you login, and you find password are not saved, you might need to create/set a default keyring.
Install seahorse. Open "Passwords and Keys" from the menu or run
seahorse. Select View > By Keyring. If there is no keyring in the left column (it will be marked with a lock icon), go to File > New > Password Keyring and give it a nice name. You will be asked to enter a password. If you do not give it a password it will be unlocked automatically even when using autologin, but passwords will not be stored securely. Finally, right-click on the keyring you just created and select "Set as default".
Windows cannot be modified with Alt-Key + Mouse-Button
Change the dconf-setting "org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences.mouse-button-modifier" from <Super> back to <Alt>. It is not possible to change this with System Settings > "Keyboard" > "Shortcuts", you will find there only the regular keybindings. The developers of GNOME decided to change this from 3.4 to 3.6 because of this bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=607797
Gnome-shell 3.8.x fails to load with a black screen + cursor
If you have a non-UTF8 language enabled, Gnome 3 can fail to load. Disable non-UTF-8 locales and perform a locale-gen until this is resolved. For more information see this bug report.
Additionally, if multiple locales of different languages are enabled, it may be necessary to disable all locales except for one (which is UTF-8).
UI elements scale incorrectly
Gnome introduced HDPI support in version 3.10. If your display does not provide the correct screen size through EDID, this can lead to incorrectly scaled UI elements. As a workaround you can open dconf-editor and find the key
scaling-factor in
org.gnome.desktop.interface. Set it to
1 to get the standard scale.
Tear-free video with Intel HD Graphics
Enabling the Xorg Intel TearFree option is a known workaround to tearing problems on Intel adapters, however the way this option acts makes it redundant with the use of a compositor (adds up memory consumption and lowers performance, see the original bug report's final comment).
On the other hand, GNOME Shell uses Mutter as a compositor which has a tweak known to address tearing problems (see the original suggestion for this fix and its mention in the Freedesktop bug report): the line
CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling must be appended to
/etc/environment and Xorg server restarted. This tweak solved tearing problems.
Logging in through GDM or lightdm quickly returns to the login screen without any feedback
As discovered by the person in this thread, some aspect of checking for the existence of and then sourcing a bash_completion script seems to cause this issue. In addition to the bash completion setup in package bash-completion, the Ruby Version Manager (RVM) includes the invocation of a bash completion script as part of it's init. It's worth keeping in mind that whatever causes this issue likely exists outside the exclusive realm of bash completion scripts, and that /etc/profile* is still worth poking around in while debugging even if a completion script isn't found.
Gnome System Icons are not loaded properly
Problems with the loading of system icons, such the ones in the title bar of Nautilus, might be solved by (re)installing the package gdk-pixbuf2.
This may also fix the "oh no" screen and/or very slow loading and login with GDM as described in this thread.

Hello blog friends!
Hope you're having a great long weekend & Happy Easter to those who celebrate 🙂
I would like to thank everyone who participated in last week's Q&A post! I received amazing and thoughtful questions 🙂 I'm having a hectic week due to some tedious assignments for grad school so I will try to post the answers to your questions next weekend, hopefully 🙂
I've put together some DIY Homemade Face masks that would help everyone to have a healthy, glowing, and nourished skin. Especially, these face masks ideas would definitely help those with oily, dry, or acne prone skin and act as very good moisturizers. I'm currently struggling with a lot of whiteheads and acne and so far have been using these home remedies which def really help! These are very easy to make and are natural remedies using fruits that would result in beautiful, shiny skin. You can skip the trip to the salon for a facial and try these homemade face masks instead 🙂
Note: Make sure to test a little bit of the homemade facial mask on a small part of your skin and leave it for 24 hours to see if you are allergic to any of the ingredients or not.
DIY Face Masks
- Turmeric and Honey Face Mask
Take a dime size drop (1 teaspoon) of just plain yellow Turmeric and mix with 2 teaspoons honey and just apply it all over your face especially the areas where you see acne or dry skin. Leave it on for about 10 minutes and wash it off with lukewarm water. If you try this face mask everyday, you should see results within 2 weeks for clear and glowing skin. Turmeric is a very healthy herb found in South Asia that can be used as a ingredient for cooking to give many dishes an exotic flavor and is very powerful which can be used to heal many health related problems. Its ingredient is also known as an antioxidant and can also be applied to any parts of the skin as well. Turmeric and honey mixture both have amazing health benefits such as reducing inflammation and lowering risks of diseases such as heart diseases and cancer.
2. Avocado & Yogurt Face Mask
Take about 1/2 of a peeled avocado and mash it really well in a small bowl so that it becomes a solid green paste. Mix the avocado paste with 1/2 teaspoon of plain yogurt and honey. Blend all the ingredients really well until it forms a nice mixture. Apply all over face for about 1o minutes and rinse your face gently with lukewarm water. Applying this face mask twice a week should do wonders, leaving a natural dry free skin. This remedy is really good for people who have really sensitive skin especially in the months of the winter season. Avocado is a nice moisturizer and extremely helps to soothe and soften dry skin. It deeply penetrates the skin cells, opening the pores, and cleansing the skin for a healthier face.
3. Coconut Oil & Honey Face Mask
Mix 1 tablespoon of Raw Honey and 1 tablespoon of Coconut Oil (lemon juice is optional) so that the mixture becomes a sticky texture and apply all over the face for about 15-20 minutes. Rinse well with warm water. Use this remedy for everyday for about a month and will do wonders. Coconut oil will really help exfoliate the skin, eliminating the dead skin cells, and leaving the face very smooth and soft. This natural remedy would also brighten up the complexion.
I use coconut oil everyday for my hair and face and it has helped me so much in getting rid of dry skin and hair. My face and hair is much more nourished and healthier. For those of you who have very dry skin, your #1 home remedy suggestion is definitely coconut oil!
Note: If you have an oily T-zone, then try to avoid using coconut oil everyday as it could clog pores and lead to breakouts
4. Oatmeal Facial Mask
If you want a quick last minute homemade facial mask, then the oatmeal facial mask is the one to try! This facial mask should take maximum of half hour and can be done first thing in the morning before taking a shower. This can also be used to brighten your face if you don't have much time to take a shower before going to school or work. Take a 1/4 cup of oatmeal (Quaker's or something you like) and add 1/2 cup of normal hot water. Mix it so well so that it becomes a bit of a paste and let it settle for about 2 minutes. Then add 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt, honey and 1 small egg white and mix really well for about 5-7 minutes. After it has become well mushed, apply it all over the face like a facial cleanser and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then rinse with warm water as usual. Your face should be very soft, dry free and you are ready to apply the rest of your makeup. This facial mask is a much better deal than a cleanser which is full of chemical ingredients. This remedy is chemical free and no cost at all 🙂
There are a lot more out there that you will help you get more nourished, beautiful, glowing skin but these are a few that I believe are the good ones. I have a lot of acne and I always used to buy the acne products called Proactiv which I been using for a long time. That acne product does have chemicals and sometimes my acne just keeps coming back. I tend to get blackheads and very dry skin. I used the first remedy once (honey and tumeric) and I saw a huge difference.
So, I recommend to all of you who have bad skin, or acne to stop using the store products (creams and cleansers) and start using natural ingredients and methods. Hope this would have been helpful for all of you!

Jinx knows all about the things that go bump in the night. They're the reason she exists. Being a humanoid in a city full of mysteries was a smart move. Still, her creator is hunting her down and what might be her only salvation is getting on her last nerve. Jinx finds herself at the mercy of one of the most "ruthless" men ever to walk the earth. An alchemist with a lot more power than anyone thinks. She wins his heart easy enough, but his love for her means nothing to his older brother. The man who calls all the shots seems to have taken an interest in Jinx. Now Jinx keeps a few secrets. She has powers she's been suppressing for years and for a good reason. Running has never been an issue, but now it is. Not only because she's being held against her will, but because this time she might just care about someone other than herself. Love, family, honor and loyalty is on the line in this twist and turning adventure. Can one of the most dangerous witches be stopped?

PHILADELPHIA — In the first study to examine discussion of drug side effects on Internet message boards, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that breast cancer survivors taking the commonly prescribed adjuvant therapy known as aromatase inhibitors (AIs) often detailed in these forums troublesome symptoms resulting from the drugs, and they were apt to report discontinuing the treatment or switching to a different drug in the same class. The findings are published online this week in the journal Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety. With 2.5 million breast cancer survivors living in the United States today – the largest group of cancer survivors – researchers say the findings have broad implications for physician communication with patients about these issues to help to promote proper adherence and inform patient-to-patient discussion online.
"Both the availability and anonymity provided by message boards – and increasingly, other forms of social media such as Twitter and Facebook – offer patients a place to voice concerns and connect with an audience of peers in similar situations. This type of social support can be very valuable to patients who are struggling with side effects like joint pain, and may serve as a forum where they will be encouraged to seek help from their physician," says the study's lead author, Jun J. Mao, MD, MSCE, an assistant professor of Family Medicine and Community Health, who directs the Integrative Oncology program in Penn's Abramson Cancer Center. "However, our findings indicate that message board discussion of the side effects of AIs may also have negative consequences for adherence to therapy, or make patients reluctant to begin taking these drugs at all."
AIs are the most commonly used medications to prevent recurrence among post-menopausal women with hormone receptor positive breast cancer, leading to an annual revenue of over $3.5 billion worldwide. Previous studies have shown that nearly half of women taking AIs do not complete their recommended course of treatment, and that those who stop taking the drugs or don't take them as prescribed have a higher chance of dying of both breast cancer and other causes.
Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the researchers analyzed 25,256 message board posts related to AIs hosted on 12 popular web sites, including breastcancer.org, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Oprah.com, and WebMD. They found that more than 18 percent of authors mentioned at least one side effect. Most commonly, patients reported joint and musculoskeletal pain, also known as arthralgia, which was mentioned by about a quarter of those who wrote about side effects; along with hot flashes and night sweats, osteoporosis, and weight gain.
Among authors who wrote about taking AIs, 12.8 percent mentioned discontinuing the drugs with no plans to take another kind, and another 28 percent mentioned switching to a different type of AI. Patients often cited severe joint pain as the reason for their discontinuation of the therapy, which is typically prescribed for several years following active treatment. A qualitative analysis of 1,000 randomly selected posts revealed that 18 percent of messages were from authors seeking advice from other message board users on how to cope with joint pain, and 27.8 percent gave advice, with about a third of those messages including tips for dealing with that side effect. Forty two percent of advice-givers recommended prescription or over-the-counter drugs for pain relief, and 44 percent mentioned herbal or mineral supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin. Thirty percent of women who gave advice reported using exercise to get relief or prevent pain from worsening. Twenty-seven percent of the advice-givers urged others to seek help from their own physicians, but only 8 percent explicitly urged others to stay on AIs.
Typical responses among those who reported struggling with side effects spoke of a shift in their identity since being diagnosed with cancer, coupled with a profound fear of discontinuing the therapy: "I hurt, ache, swell, pain, shuffle, have significant join pain, have cognitive issues, and feel like I'm 80 when I'm mid-50's. But I'm also so afraid of the breast cancer that I shuffle alongside of everyone, like you do." On the other end of the spectrum, some women described feeling that the benefits of the therapy outweighed the risks: "The way I look at it, at 53 years old, I was likely to get arthritis anyway, and any discomfort as a result of treatment is well worth prolonging my life." Advice-giving messages often included sentiments of hope, including reminders that there are multiple types of AIs that women can try if they have problems, and they underscored the importance of taking the drugs for a few months before making a decision about switching or discontinuing the therapy.
Mao and senior author John Holmes, PhD, associate professor of Medical Informatics in Epidemiology, suggest that their findings reveal that mining social media discussions about health issues may provide novel insights about patient perceptions of drug side effects and their potential impact on adherence to recommended therapies.
"On the internet, patients come together from a broad swath of geographic areas, from many racial and socioeconomic backgrounds and from treatment in different types of clinical settings," Holmes says. "This range of perspectives would be difficult to capture in a typical clinical trial or survey, and may provide valuable data to guide health care providers seeking new ways to engage with patients and help them make decisions that will improve their health and provide them with a good quality of life."
Funding for the study came from the National Library of Medicine (RC1LM010342), the American Cancer Society (CCCDA-08-107-03), and the National Institutes of Health (1 K23 AT004112-04).
Penn Medicine is one of the world's leading academic medical centers, dedicated to the related missions of medical education, biomedical research, and excellence in patient care. Penn Medicine consists of the Raymond and Ruth Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania (founded in 1765 as the nation's first medical school) and the University of Pennsylvania Health System, which together form a $4.3 billion enterprise.
The Perelman School of Medicine is currently ranked #2 in U.S. News & World Report's survey of research-oriented medical schools. The School is consistently among the nation's top recipients of funding from the National Institutes of Health, with $479.3 million awarded in the 2011 fiscal year.
The University of Pennsylvania Health System's patient care facilities include: The Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania — recognized as one of the nation's top "Honor Roll" hospitals by U.S. News & World Report; Penn Presbyterian Medical Center; and Pennsylvania Hospital — the nation's first hospital, founded in 1751. Penn Medicine also includes additional patient care facilities and services throughout the Philadelphia region.
Penn Medicine is committed to improving lives and health through a variety of community-based programs and activities. In fiscal year 2011, Penn Medicine provided $854 million to benefit our community.

This is a picture of which car logo?
Mazda can betio traced back to the foreman of the Toyo Cork Kogyo company in Hiroshima, Japan in 1920. After a name change in 1927 to Toyo Kogyo, the company initially manufactured machine tools under the brand name Toyo. In 1931, the company produced its first three-wheeler, called the Mazda-Go. Their first passenger car, the R360 coupe, was introduced in 1960.

Full ride at Southwestern (3rd tier)- to UCLA, USC or Berkeley- Transfer???
February 18, 2012, 06:43:40 PM »
I'm on a full ride at Southwestern and ranked second in my class. To transfer to UCLA, USC or Berkeley would cost 80k for the remaining two years.
UCLA, USC and Berkeley are all top 9-18 schools with a 90% bar passage rate, while Southwestern is at a mere 50%. Job prospects are also going to be much better. However, after transferring I am likely to be closer to the middle of the class, after competing with the top notch kids at a premium school.
Because my class rank is so high at Southwestern, (provided I can maintain it for two more years), is it worth it to transfer and pay the money (I may be able to avoid taking out student loans, via a loan from my parents- but it's still going to cost) in the hopes of getting that higher paying job, or will I do just as well having come from a third tier school, but at the top of it?
Another consideration: I have not yet applied to transfer to these schools, but any student who applies to transfer from Southwestern is forbidden from being on Law Review, even if they're not accepted to the new school- so I need to decide if I'll go if accepted before I apply.
Another (small) consideration is happiness for the remaining two years. I'm currently in a part time evening program, with people a little closer to my age (I'm 30), and I'm a night owl. I take 9 hours a semester, and don't have the grind of studying for 5 finals twice a year. I also wait tables to pay my rent and I love my job, and if I transferred and took on a full load I'd most likely have to quit (and take on that additional financial burden.)
I would be switching to a full time program but graduating in the same amount of time, an early morning trek to school, with people likely much younger than me, and a menacing finals load. I can suck it up for the remaining two years (I've made it this far, haven't I?) but it's just a small factor to consider.
So, to sum it up: Full ride top of the class third tier school, or 80k, middle of the class, but a top school?
If anyone has any insight as to my conundrum, I'd be eternally grateful.

I sympathize with the decision and situation. I know it's a big decision. However, you haven't applied yet right? So why not cross that bridge when you come to it. Apply and see what happens (it will only be a few hundred dollars). You may or may not get in (though I suspect you will being ranked so highly). If you don't, your choice is simple, right? If you do, then weight the pros and cons. I was like you. Though I didn't have a job, I took fewer credits at my first school. Turns out studying for 5 finals isn't exactly that difficult. You're not alone because all other classmates have the same workload. If you had a successful work ethic at your first school, it will likely translate to a successful work ethic at the next school. I feel that half the battle is work ethic. I went from tier 4 to tier 2 and did just as well. Honestly though, I would bet you would be better than middle of the class at any other school. I know being ranked highly in a class is of great value to employers, but big firms seem to like to see big name law schools rather than high ranks at lower ranked law schools. It depends a lot on what you want to do after graduation.
That being said, happiness is a very high price to pay for a mere chance at switching schools. If you are truly happy where you are, why fix what's not broken? Two years may not seem like a long time in the grand scheme of things, but two years being miserable seems much longer.
Just my 2 cents.
*Edit* One of the schools you mentioned is Berkeley, but you also mentioned an earlier trek to school if you transferred. Southwestern to Berkeley isn't an earlier trek, it's a move. I'm sure you're aware that they aren't even remotely close to each other. I'm not sure about your personal life (family, etc), but moving cities like that isn't a decision to be taken lightly.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response!
Just to clarify, the reason I'm mulling this over now, is because if I EVEN apply to transfer, Southwestern disqualifies me from Law Review and Law Journal, even I decide to stay, or don't get in to the schools I want. And as of now, I'm automatically eligible. And yes, I could suck it up and move to Berkeley if I got in- it's a great great school, but I would be paying double what I do now for rent. But if I got in, I could find a way to make it happen.
One more factor I'm considering is the fact that I don't want a huge firm, meat grinder, 100 hour week, suck out your soul job. I know these kind of employers want people only from the best schools, but what about the smaller firms? I haven't been able to lock down an answer from anyone on that.
But thank you so much for responding.. my nerves are a mess!

I hear ya. Never an easy choice.
I guess it depends on how much you want to do law review. Big firms love law review, but it seems like this isn't what you want. From my limited experience, small firms don't care so much about law review. I transferred and couldn't do law review because of strange rules like that. I feel that had I done law review, I'd be better situated. However, I still get interviews without it. I don't think it's quite "make or break" for small firms as many make it out to be. Their biggest concern is the school. It seems to me that small firms love to hire from the schools they attended. Of course, others may have different opinions, especially in other locales.

Full time programs at the schools you mention do not accept transfers from part time programs. You gpa as a part timer is not a good indicator of how you will perform in a full time program at a 1st tier school, and it's likely that for this reason, they will not consider your application. You can, however, transfer to other part time programs at T1 schools (Georgetown, George Washington, Fordham)

Nissan to Use Advanced High Tensile Strength Steel in up to 25 Percent of New Model Parts
Expanded application of advanced high tensile steel, including the use of 1.2 gigapascal Ultra High Tensile Strength Steel with High Formability, in production models.
(YOKOHAMA, Japan; 03.12.13) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced its plan to expand the use of Advanced High Tensile Strength Steel (AHSS) in to up to 25 percent of the vehicle parts (measured by weight) installed in its new production models. Nissan will make use of advanced high tensile strength steel starting in 2017 as one of its initiatives to help reduce vehicle weight.
|Nissan has developed*1 1.2 gigapascal (GPa) Ultra High Tensile Strength Steel with High Formability and has employed it in the new Infiniti Q50, which goes on sale in North America in 2013. Prior to the development of 1.2GPa ultra high strength steel it had been difficult to use high tensile steels for vehicle parts with highly complex shapes. Nissan continues to be the only auto manufacturer*2 using 1.2 GPa Ultra High Tensile Strength Steel with High Formability.
With the active adoption of 1.2 GPa ultra high strength steel, which is one grade among several types of advanced high tensile strength steels, Nissan will increase the adoption rate of AHSS as far as 25 percent of the gross weight of the parts installed per vehicle. This effort will begin in 2017 and aims to reduce the weight of Nissan's vehicles by 15 percent with corresponding body structure rationalization.
Through an optimal combination of materials, the jointly-developed*2 1.2
In addition, employing 1.2 GPa high tensile strength steel leads to fewer materials used per vehicle produced, and existing production lines can be used without a big modification. This results in a reduction in total cost per unit.
Under the Nissan Green Program 2016, Nissan's mid-term environmental plan, the company is aiming for a 35 percent improvement in fuel economy compared with 2005 on a corporate average for all Nissan vehicles by the end of fiscal 2016. To that end, the extensive use of Advanced High Tensile Strength steels, including the new 1.2GPa ultra high tensile steel, will contribute to reduced vehicle weight and better fuel economy.

NEW ORLEANS — Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards returns to the spotlight with Sunday's premier of "The Governor's Wife," a new reality television series that puts his romance with wife Trina Scott Grimes out there for all to see.
NEW ORLEANS — Former Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards returns to the spotlight with today's premier of "The Governor's Wife," a new reality television series that puts his romance with wife Trina Scott Grimes out there for all to see.
The couple — he's 86, she's 35 — has a child together. Eli was born in August. The series follows Trina and Edwin's decision to get pregnant and ends with the baby's delivery and introduction to the world.
"I call (Eli) my 'Cajun Prince,'" she told The Associated Press. "That's what most in Louisiana used to call Edwin."
Trina Edwards said the series shows how their unconventional blended family interacts. The cast also includes Edwards' grown daughters: Anna, 62, and Victoria, 60. Trina's sons from a previous marriage — Logan, 15 and Trevor, 13 — participate, too.
"We enjoy each other's family," Trina Edwards said. "We mesh well, even as difficult as that can be at times."
Edwards served four terms as a Democratic governor in the 1970s, '80s and '90s. He married Trina in July 2011, shortly after his release from federal prison, where he served more than eight years for his role in a bribery and extortion scheme to rig riverboat casino licenses during his fourth term, which ended in 1996.
Edwards said the show doesn't dwell on his prison stint, trials or terms as governor.
"This is about my life, our lives, outside of all that," he said. "It's about my interaction with her children and her interaction with my grown children. If not unique, it's certainly an unusual situation for a person my age to be doing. Most would say I should probably be looking forward to a nursing home rather than a nursery, but I'm very happy and very excited. It should make for great TV."
Trina Edwards said she hoped the show would dispel any speculation that she married Edwards for "something other than love."
"People have such a huge misconception about me, about us," she said. "People believe that Edwin and I live this extravagant, over-the-top life. I wanted to show people that isn't how we are. We're normal, even though normal is a relative term. We live a normal life just like everyone else."
She said they have a strong and healthy marriage.
"We never get tired of each other," she said. "He's my best friend and we have a lot in common, even though there's a large age difference."
Anna Edwards said the best thing about having the cameras around 24-7 was that she "got to spend a concerted amount of time with my father. I would not have done that or been able to do that otherwise. That was great."
She said she hoped the show would make people laugh. "I think, once watching it, people will know for sure just how crazy and dysfunctional my family really is."
Victoria Edwards said that what she's seen of the show is funny. "There's a lot of truth in the show, but there's also some embellishment," she said.
She said she was not in favor of her father and his new bride having a baby. "Mostly because I don't want to split my inheritance," she said. "But it's a different story now that Eli's here. Daddy just adores that baby. I didn't have that when we were growing up because he was not always around."
Asked how she thought audiences would receive the show, she said, "It will be the same way people receive my daddy: 33 percent absolutely love him, 33 percent are in the middle and 33 percent think he's done something wrong and should either be dead or back in jail."
Both sisters said they would not be opposed to a second season, but Trina Edwards said such talks have not begun.
"I'm not sure if they will offer it, and I'm not sure if I'd be willing even if they would offer it. It's much more work than I thought — six days a week, 12 hours a day," she said.
The show debuts on A&E at 9 p.m.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: MACK) today announced that research evaluating two novel compounds for advanced cancers, including breast, ovarian, gastric and bladder, will be presented at the ESMO 2012 Congress (European Society for Medical Oncology ), Sept. 28 – Oct. 2 in Vienna, Austria. The medicines are some of the first therapies developed using Merrimack's proprietary scientific approach – Network Biology – focusing not on gene expression but on underlying cancer signals that trigger tumor growth.
"At Merrimack Pharmaceuticals, we believe the key to finding new treatment options for cancer is to start closer to the source of the problem – with signals in the cancer cell that turn specific processes on and off, triggering tumor growth and drug resistance," said Robert J. Mulroy, President and Chief Executive Officer, Merrimack Pharmaceuticals. "By charting and modeling these molecular pathways and signals, we can identify the most sensitive points from which to attack the cancer and then develop medicines and companion diagnostics to disrupt or slow tumor growth."

Reconstructive surgery
Set of 50 artificial eyes, Liverpool, England, 1900-1940
Plastic surgery since 1600 BCE
Surgery has the power to cure and repair. It can also be used to minimise deformity after injury or illness. This is called reconstructive or plastic surgery and, surprisingly, has been with us since around 1600 BCE - surgical papyri have been found describing methods for repairing a broken nose and providing instruction in suturing to minimise scarring.
The spread of nose surgery
Reconstructive surgery was also practised in India from around 500 BCE. A Hindu doctor, Susrata, developed a technique to reform noses that had been cut off as a punishment or hacked off during battle. Called rhinoplasty, this technique spread widely - the Byzantine Emperor Justinian's statues bear evidence of the scars of his rhinoplasty after he suffered a traumatic nasal amputation some time around 700 CE.
The affects of syphilis
Such techniques spread to Europe and Britain in the 1700s and other innovations followed, including an improved treatment for those with syphilis. One of syphilis's appalling consequences could be the loss of one's nose. This was so stigmatising that many patients were willing to undergo surgery without anaesthetic in an effort to repair the damage.
The long history of reconstructive surgery
But reconstructive surgery had first appeared in Europe as far back as the 1400s. A Sicilian family of surgeons, the Brancas, practised new suturing techniques and developed methods to repair wounds to ears and lips. Later in Bologna a surgeon called Gaspare Tagliacozzi experimented with cutting flaps of skin, called pedicles, from one part of the body and sewing them to another. Even so, the procedure was not performed regularly until the 1800s. The first successful skin graft was attributed to Sir Astley Cooper in 1817.
Plastic surgery with antiseptic and anaesthetics
The name 'plastic surgery' was not actually coined until the 1800s, and the first book describing the surgical techniques was published in 1845. Antiseptic techniques and anaesthetics allowed the surgeon to operate with far greater precision, which naturally had less disfiguring results.
The impact of war on plastic surgery from the 1900s
The 1900s saw many significant changes in reconstructive surgery. War was a catalyst for improvements in techniques in this field. Shrapnel wounds, burns and traumatic amputation were common and plastic surgeons such as Harold Gillies in the First World War (1914-18) and Archibald McIndoe in the Second World War (1939-45) developed new methods to repair disfiguring wounds.
Isabelle Dinoire - the first successful face transplant
Reconstructive surgery continues to make a huge difference to the quality of people's lives. In 2006 the first successful face transplant was performed in France on Isabelle Dinoire.
Cosmetic surgery
Cosmetic surgery, which is often confused with plastic surgery, is an elective procedure designed to alter a person's appearance. Individuals can now choose to undergo cosmetic surgery for a number of reasons: to conform to contemporary notions of beauty, to preserve a youthful appearance, or for other personal reasons - a choice few would have made when surgery was in its infancy.
