I am trying to run the SDK for Meego with Qt. When I try to launch my simulator I get the error message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". The answer I got on Meego's forum is that I am missing glx extensions. I have tried to find a way to get the glx extensions but I do not seem to get it. My searches on the web all point to Nvidia, but I have got ATI. I run Lenny 5.0.6 amd64.

I am trying to get xinerama to work with x11vnc on Xvfb and I am getting:

Xlib: extension "XINERAMA" missing on display ":0.0".
XINERAMA extension not supported by server
I am using the latest version of x11vnc which says XINERAMA is on by default. I have tried xf4vnc as well and get the same issue.
Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1024x2048x24 &

x11vnc -display :1 -bg -nopw -xkb -N
I get a screen that looks like xinerama and windows pass from display to display fine, however xdpyinfo says otherwise and we have software that looks to xdpyinfo to get information about how display guis. When x11vnc was compiled it said it found libXinerama. Not sure what is going on. Does vncviewer need to support xinerama as well? Is there any way to tell if vncviewer does without downloading a newer or different version?
I am having trouble writing an Xlib application that displays a window. The most frustrating thing is that I've written applications like this before, and never had any problems. For some reason I cannot get this program to work properly. I'm running KDE and when I launch the program, a "button" for the application will appear on the application panel, however, no window will display. It is possible to right click on the panel button and select the Close item which will successfully close the window.
The following is source code that when built will exhibit the behaviour described above code...

View 2 Replies View RelatedHow could xorg be set-up such that different monitors work with different DPI but still compose the same extended display?
I have a 15 inch laptop display extending to the right the main display which is 23 inch. The resolutions are comparable, but the difference in pixel size is very large. Thus, either the external display has too large fonts and UI, or the laptop one has them very small. Moving them at different distances is not entirely possible.
xrandr info:
eDP1 connected primary 1920x1080+2048+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 194mm
VGA1 connected 2048x1152+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 287mm
I heard that Windows has a hack (which I can't check) for extending displays with different pixels sizes: it computes in which of the displays a window has most of it's surface and sets the DPI for that window based on that. Thus a window will change DPI when crossing monitors, (and will look too small/large on one of the monitors if it is in the middle).
I am using xfce4 and in this image
The top bar only shows the bottom half. the bottom bar only shows the top half. i also can't see anything after the r in centre on the right. part of the initial picture on the left also does not display.
My thought is that the tv it has a resolution of 1920x1080 and this is causing the issue. i have this in my xorg.conf:
Code: Select allSection "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "metamodes" "nvidia-auto-select +0+0; 1920x1080_60 +0+0"
[Code] ....
The graphics card is
Code: Select all02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation C77 [GeForce 8300] (rev a2)
Changing metamodes to 19200x1200 doesn't change anything.
I've been dual booting Lenny and Squeeze but after replacing Lenny with a fresh Squeeze using ext4, the video display has been strange. The effect is similar to running a live CD, where a click does nothing for a few seconds while the CD winds up and gets to the application, but slower than that. Sometimes the display has patches of several windows all mixed up, zig zag patterns like a TV that is too far from a transmitter to receive a good signal and sometimes the mouse freezes in moving around. When I boot and don't start X, everything works perfectly, no delays, no messed up windows.
My video is ATI x1300 with Radeon driver. What is the best way to get the system to use only vesa, to see if that works, instead of ati or radeon? is possible to use grub.cfg or /etc/defaults/grub or /etc/grub.d/ ? I couldn't find any reports of problems with Xorg used by Squeeze, so it seems to be the ATi driver or the radeon driver.
I have an ATI Radeon 5850 card with 2 17" monitors, plus a 46" TV via HDMI (disabled, except for BD plaback under windows) under Debian 6.0/Squeeze. When I first installed this system, it worked fine with all 3 screens (only 2 enabled at a time). Sometime in the past few weeks though, it's decided to revert to a single-display setup. I can't find any errors in the logfiles, and it works perfectly fine when I re-enabled the secondary display via the ATI Catalyst Control center.
The auto-generated xorg.conf isn't configured to use the second display (even after re-generating one using "aticonfig -initial=dual-head"), and it is not being modified when I change settings in the Catalyst Control Center.Updating display settings after every boot is just a bit annoying.
Is it possible to display a thumbnail for the *.png image in Nautilus ?It works fine for *.jpeg, *.tiff,... What are the requirements to do that ? (librairies...)

I have a problem with my Debian 8 installation. This morning I was playing around with libvirt and virt-manager while I was routinely installing updates using apt-get. While doing that, my system crashed (probably because of the running Win8 VM). After resetting (in hardware), I got access to the emergency console where I tried executing "dpkg --configure -a" which worked.
After restarting, I first noticed that the login screen background (just the normal Jessie one on LXDM) was missing and the screen was black instead. After logging in, I saw that nearly every image/icon/whatever is missing. For example:
- the icons in lxpanel (I use LXDE)
- the copy and paste icons nearly everywhere
- the New Tab icon in Firefox
- many more icons
- the desktop and login background
A few images are still there:
- interestingly, the lxpanel icons are replaced by "icon missing" icons which still work
- most icons in Firefox except for New Tab
- all images of LibreOffices (so this problem might be Gtk+ only)
Some programs don't work (obviously because they can't load their menu icons and don't a fallback). An example for this would be Inkscape. It crashes at start:
Code: Select all(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
[Code] .....
Note: I use a German system. "Format der Bilddatei unbekannt" means something like "Format of image file is unknown", "Bildtyp 'xpm' wird nicht unterstützt" means "xpm image type is not supported".
Concerning the desktop background, I looked at /etc/alternatives/desktop-background and found a correct SVG image which was the one I had before.
How I could restore these images?
Every time I install Jessie, I also install gufw as a graphical firewall frontend for desktop users, but I've also always had to create my own menu icon because the default one never showed up. I opened up the .desktop file today and took a look to see why it was never displayed in Gnome.
There was a line next to the bottom that basically told it to only appear in Unity. Deleting this line allowed it to appear in the Gnome menu. My question is this. Why is this line even in here?

I am testing LXDE on my test-laptop and it looks quite nice and fast. I am thinking of switching DE from Gnome.
My question: are there features in Gnome that are missing in LXDE? I can not think of any, so far. The only thing I miss so far is a possibility to edit the menu, as the menu is huge
I just got my new version of Debian, and under System>Preferences, near the top of the list, there should be a CompizConfig Settings Manager. But it's not there. I've tried apt-getting compiz, but it says I have the latest version out there. So I don't know what to do next.

View 11 Replies View RelatedBackground: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.
When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.
In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.
I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.
I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:
Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
1366x768 59.99*+
1360x768 59.80 59.96
1024x768 60.00
800x600 60.32 56.25
[Code] ....
Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?
I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...
The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.
Noticed that gdm 3 updated to new version (2.30.5-1) which displays nice avatar for each user on the login prompt. Now there seems to be only placeholder pic for every user on this computer, but of course I want to have real picture there to greet the users. So the question is, where can I change the pictures?

I use Debian Jessie which includes a gnome shell version 3.14.1. The problem is that icons of some applications such as Viber or Starcal are not shown in the tray while the icons of other applications (e.g. Skype of Dropbox) are shown without problem.
By the way, the problem does not relate to loading, because all applications are loaded and a space is considered for each in the tray, but the problem is that for some of applications the pictures of their icons are not shown.
