ibus works in a freshly installed wheezy with gnome, but it doesn't work in another system where I use openbox without desktop environment. The ibus-daemon is running and the icon is shown in the panel but the key sequence Ctrl+Space has no effect.
When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox-session My displays will turn off like there is no video output. I cannot switch to a TTY (or at least there is still no video when I try). I can however ssh into the machine. Alt+SysRq+K does not seem to kill the X session, but Alt+SysRq+B will reboot the machine.When my .xinitrc contains exec /usr/bin/openbox and I manually run sh .config/openbox/autostart.sh everything seems to go smoothly. I really don't understand the discrepancy.
Im currently fitting Openbox to my needs.I want to autostart my email-app (Icedove) on the second desktop, if possible with a given size and position.I googled that already and searched th forum, but did not find anything related to it
Running Debian Squeeze and OpenBox. I added the command: "gdm-control --suspend" to my OBmenu but nothing happens. When I run the command from the terminal, also, nothing happens. Yes, I did actually Google. Anyway, proper suspend command from the OpenBox menu?
Is it possible to run Openbox/Gnome in 10.10? My goal is to change virtual desktops with the mouse scroll wheel. I've installed Openbox, but Openbox/Gnome will not work.
I'm using Openbox, and I'm working on some scripts to automatically change several things at once (wallpaper, theme, idesk icons, wbar, etc), and I've started with a simple script for changing the wallpaper. I have three different scripts, each one connected to a different wallpaper. The scripts are in my /usr/bin file, so I just have to type the script name and it goes. Trouble is, I've tried assigning it to a keybinding in Openbox's rc.xml, and I can't seem to get them to work.
It's supposed to make it so I type ctrl+F10 to switch to a steampunk wallpaper I have. I can do the script from the command prompt, but I can't get the keybinding to work. Anybody know why? Will Openbox not allow for scripts to be in the rc.xml file?
I've got a task: make time server, that gets time from gps, shows it on display and send to different systems through different ports like com, ltp, etc.
Solution is qt program, included in hybrid iso image.
I've created my binary-hybrid.iso debian, added my program and installed it on pc sudo dd if=/media/cdrom/binary-hybrid.iso of=/dev/sda then i restarted and everything is ok, but...
I also need: 1) to make my pc works as ntp-server, to do this i must change file ntp.conf in ntp****.deb before i build my iso how can i do this?
as i realized according to live.debian.net/manual it's possible to do by putting smth to /live-build/config/packages.chroot and by adding some parameters to lb config but i can't find how and what
2) to save my program parameters after reboot. for example, i have such parameter as gmt. it defined as +3. i can change it while program is running to -5 for example and i want to have gmt -5 when i next time turn on my computer
When in programming it is simple - program creates ini file in it's directory and read/write parameters from this ini-file, but how to make possible to do the same thing when it works from iso?
I installed mythbuntu 9.10 this week on some old hardware, I had a Hauppauge 500MCE PVR in and made it work fairly easy. I'm used to gentoo
However, I want to record HD signal, so I plugged in a Eyetv hybrid and followed this guide url.
I extracted the driver, put it in into /lib/firmware, modprobed em28xx, rebooted. When I plug in the device, it is not recognised. I tried both usb ports. The ID is "0fd9:0018", which is somewhat different from similar hardware e.g. Hauppauge wintv-hvr-950 (ID 2040:6513 url.
I think the hardware has been updated, hope someone knows how to crack this one
I have added some additional information below! # uname -a

Does anybody use USB HDTV (digital or hybrid) tuner ?
1) does teletext work in digital TV ? - Do teletext pages appear immediately after page numbers entering or - must you wait every time because of counter rewinding ?
2) Does analog FM radio (88 - 108 MHz) work in that kind tuners ?
I have an AverTV Hybrid Volar MAX.I really would like to get the FM radio tuner working with this on my laptop. When I do 'sudo fmscan' I get the following:ioctl VIDIOCGTUNER: Invalid argumentI have downloaded and installed the drivers from AverMedia's web page (TV is working).This is on a Compaq Laptop (Presario V5305WM) on a fresh install of Jaunty.
I am also new to ubuntu but have manage so far,except for my tv-card. Seems like Metv and kaffeine cant see the tv-card ?! I have a asus mycinema-p7131 hybrid,does someone have info on installing this ? except for this i think ubuntu 10 is great.
On both Karmic Koala as well as Lucid Lynx, I am having massive problems getting my nvidia card to register properly. I am on an Acer Aspire 5953 laptop pc with a Gt130m discrete GPU in a hybrid installation with an onboard GPU.Freshly installed, both 9.10 and 10.04 runs smoothly, I can enable desktop effects, I can even see the screensavers that run openGL - although they run laggily in fullscreen, since they're obviously using the onboard, and very weak, GPU.The problem however, appears whenever I install the suggested NVIDIA drivers that Ubuntu finds for me - after doing this, I am asked to reboot the system and on both systems, I am treated to a black screen, instead of a login-screen. The only way to get the system up and running again, I have found, is boot in fail safe mode and edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf, erasing everything. This lets me boot back up in a regular mode.
When I check the logs, both the onboard GPU and the gt130m GPU is located, the onboard as PCI:0:0:2:0 and the nvidia gt130m discrete gpu as PCI:0:1:0:0 - I have tried adding BusID: ("PCI:0:1:0:0") to the xorg.conf, too, to no avail. I am continously treated to the black screen (a flicker at most) and the logs always tells me that no xserver could find no screens.So far, I have only been installing Ubuntu inside windows - I am hesitating to install on a fresh drive, since I am afraid of the nvidia black screen putting me in a position where I can't access the system. Is it possible that the fact that I install ubuntu inside windows might somehow affect Linux's capability of accessing my discrete GPU?
I've got an Atom-based EeePC1000 with 2.6.34-0.slh.11-sidux-686.The DebianEeePC wiki ( as the following information.As of kernel 2.6.30, the "Super Hybrid Engine" is supported: /sys/devices/platform/eeepc/cpufv contains a value which is 256× the number of available settings plus the current setting; you write a number n (0 ≤ n < number of available settings) to it to alter the setting.
I'm on an HP envy with with hybrid graphics configuration. I installed debian 7.7 from DVD, but it failed to load i915 driver on its own. It loaded nouveau. But gnome falls back to classic mode. There is not brightness control either.I tried adding i915 to /etc/modules and also blacklisted nouveau at the command line. Now i915 gets loaded, but with some hickups as shown in dmesg. Still I'm in fallback mode in gnome.
Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ dmesg | grep drm [Â Â 16.152467] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810 [Â Â 16.161706] [drm:i915_init] *ERROR* drm/i915 can't work without intel_agp module!
So I went ahead and added intel_agp (before i915 line) to modules file, but still no luck. I suspect there is no module called intel_agp at the first place, because :
Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ sudo modinfo intel_agp [sudo] password for jay: ERROR: Module intel_agp not found. URL....
to set up my usb, digital TV Tuner, an AVerTV Hybrid Volar HD (H830) , to work with MythTV? I note that the 'MythTV backend set-up', only refers TV Tuner cards, not usb sticks. Nevertheless, the link above provides a 'Linux x86' driver for my computer � a .tar.gz file. The link also provides an accompanying text file that asserts 'This package is tested with MythTV against Ubuntu 10.04'. I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.04.The accompanying text gives its pre-requisites as a. support linux kernel 2.6.29 or later. b. make sure /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build exists c. make sure "dvb_frontend.h" exist in your Ubuntu. d. kernel modules dependency: videodev, video buf-core, v4l2-common.
For (b), my computer shows the following path /lib/modules/2.6.38-10-generic/build$ I'm note sure what (c) means with 'in your Ubuntu' Needless to say, its later instruction doesn't work Install driver to system sudo ./xxx_LinuxDrv_x86_vxxx-beta_Install.sh I'm told that this 'command not found'
I'm a black screen guy, so i dont give to much to appearance, i always do a minimal debian install and build from this with openbox...but this time i get to test xfce and damn indeed has good looking, i just went to xfce4-settings-manager put as full and rgb and voila...good looking. Patched libcairo and better still.Back to Openbox i cant achieve the same result..no matter what i do, tried fonts.conf but in xfce just looks better....Any tut to appearance in Openbox.....what fonts do you install.
I installed openbox and obmenu with everything seeming to run smooth , but I managed to mess something up. When right clicking my screen I get an error stating that I am missing root-menu. I cannot open terminal while inside openbox. So while out I used apt-get purge on both applications , and reinstalled. The problem is still there and cannot right click or super+t for terminal. I've found other problems same as mine , but with being able to access the terminal while in.
I'm currently using the default Gnome desktop environment on my server when I connect via VNC, but I've been trying to Openbox on Crunchbang lately and I rather prefer it for being so light. I'm a relative noob and don't want to cock anything up - what's the simplest way to switch to the Openbox environment for when I connect via VNC, and once that's working, whats the safest way to remove Gnome?
I can't seem to get the options halt and reboot working in my openbox right-click menu. I've tried following the guide here from post #11, where the code he says to use in the /etc/sudoers file is:
%users john=NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown -h now, /sbin/shutdown -r now
...but I can't seem to get it to work on my end. In obmenu, I have for halt, to run "sudo halt" and for reboot, "sudo reboot" but they only work after I've already entered my sudo password, such as when I work with terminal to edit a config file.
After doing a aptitude full-upgrade I no longer have the Debian menu showing in the Openbox menu. According to Obmenu, Debian is listed; it's just not showing when I right click. The upgrade brought a new version of Openbox so I assume that has something to do with it.
I want to put some info on my all black background, for instance i do a lot of vpn connections, so it would be cool that i do startx and a xterm console was on the background (without the window ofcourse) with the tail -f /var/log/messages or my dropbox status and so on Like tilling....but on background...i hate wallpapers
[Code]....
now a problem to do the command line above and put it for instance in autostart.sh from openbox i need to do it as sudo and give the password......damn..it will not work
I installed debian with minimal packages (without an any X components). Later I installed xserver-xorg-video-intel , xserver-xorg-input-mouse, xserver-xorg-input-kbd ... and other X components through apt-get. Created a Xorg.conf file.
On execution of X, I see black screen without cursor. What are the other minimal packages that I need to install in order to run any window-manager like openbox.. ?
