Fedora :: Make Video Settings Persistent

Sep 4, 2009

I just did a fresh install of Fedora 11 and the only video resolutions available were 640x480 and 800x600.

The native resolution of the monitor is 1280x1024 and that's what I'd like to use.

I was able to get the display to the proper resolution with the following commands:

Code:

However, rebooting sets it back to 800x600. I have seen the edits to xorg.conf but that file wasn't created.

Is there a way to make the 1280x1028 resolution persistent without creating a xorg.conf file?

Jan 10, 2011

I am running a live (4gb) USB of Fedora_14 with 768mb persistent storage. I am trying to add firmware for broadcom wireless link, as it is not natively supported.

Fedora :: Persistent DNS Cache - Make It Permanent?

Mar 10, 2010

i has setup a persistent DNS cache to improve my web-browsing. it works wonders and with my ICC built firefox my web-browsing is laser-fast, pretty much like using internet explorer in windows! however, everytime i reboot, my modifications to /etc/resolv.conf have been replaced... 1st. the file must contain:

# Generated by NetworkManager (obviously modified by this)
nameserver 127.0.0.1 <----this is lost on reboot, and is needed to make it all work
nameserver 209.226.175.223
nameserver 198.235.216.134

i have tried to add this to - System/administration/network, but it doesn't seem to fix the problem. 2nd. my next problem is that when fedora 12 starts up,i need it to start "dnsmasq".i have tried to add it as a startup application, but it doesn't start automatically.so i end up having to start it manually everytime:

sudo /etc/init.d/dnsmasq start

it is annoying, but so far i just deal with it, because my browsing is that much faster! i am planning to post a tutorial for those interested in faster web-browsing in linux, but until i can make the changes perminent there isn't much point.

PS: i have tried to write a shell script to do this and every which way i try it fails

OpenSUSE Install :: Non-persistent Display Settings In 11.2 / Kde?

Apr 4, 2010

My default display (DF-770 monitor) comes up something like 1280x960. In the "configure desktop" > display I set the display to 1152x864@75Hz. Next I accept the setting after the preview. When I reboot, the display is back to 1280. Do I have to manually edit some file to make my selection permanent?

Sysconfig editor has a variable that starts off with 1024x768, but that doesn't seem to be my problem, so I didn't mess with it. How do I get my display preferences saved?

General :: Make Slitaz USB Automatically Persistent?

Mar 24, 2010

I installed Slitaz on my USB. However I can't figure out how to make it persistent automatically. There are different sources telling me different ways to make it persistent.

One told me to add "slitaz home=usb" to the syslinux.cfg file like this:

append initrd=/boot/rootfs.gz rw root=/dev/null vga=normal autologin slitaz home=usb

but it didn't work for me.

http://www.slitaz.org/en/doc/handbook/liveusb.html gave an example of how to do it manually but I didn't try it and I also want it to happen automatically.

custompc.co.uk/features/602451/make-any-pc-your-own-with-linux-on-a-usb-key.html is an older article that also explains how to make the USB persistent but I don't want to try it cause it looks outdated (from 2008)

does anyone know the best way to make the USB automatically persistent?

Ubuntu :: How To Make Time & Date Persistent

Aug 26, 2010

I've noticed that every time this desktop is turned on the date & time are as they were the last time I used it, and then have to put in the correct date & time again (this is why I chose the word 'persistent' within the tittle). When I try to change those have to write in the password for the date as well as for the time as if 'login-in' once were not enough! What I want to know is how to put in the date & time and receive the correct amounts the next time I turn the unit on again, as it should be? Do I've to open a terminal & do it with administrator's authority/credentials?

Ubuntu :: Video Projects On 3TB USB Drive - Persistent Rsync?

May 30, 2010

I have a slow 3TB usb drive that I keep my video projects on, but when I'm working on a project I want to have the files on my main HD so that the video editing is less painful. So here is my question: is there a way to have a folder on my main computer that syncs files *as they are needed* to my main drive, then when they are edited sync them to the USB drive again?

So if I have a folder with 100 clips on my USB drive, can I sync just the directory listings to the local folder, then when I add a video to my project file and it is read by the video editing software, then just that file is synced to my local folder? Then, when I close the terminal with this app running, or some other signal the local folder is destroyed (all of the files are synced to the USB drive once they are changed).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Unable To Make Monitor Setting Persistent?

Mar 8, 2011

My system boots in 1024x768 screen resolution. I'd like to change it to 1280x1024 for all users. I can change the setting to 1280x1024 and it's persistent between sessions, but is reset back to 1024x768 on reboot. In the old days, I used to edit xorg.conf to set the the mode I want, but now there's no xorg.conf. I created one using

xorg -configure

but this created an xorg.conf which has no modeline settings at all. The file just looks like a template. Here's what I got:

Quote:

Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"

[Code].....

General :: Make System Partition Letter / Number Designations Persistent?

Aug 15, 2010

Everyone who deals with Linux knows that partitions on hard drives are designated as "sdx#", i.e., sda1 sdb2, etc. I know through experimentation that the number portion of the designation is assigned not according to order on the disk, but chronologically in the order they are created.

Further, if you have several partitions on the disk-say, sda1 through sda3-and you delete sda2, the designation of sda1 will remain the same, but sda3 will become the new sda2. The creation of any further partitions on the drive will start with designation sda3 and increment from that point.

At times this creates a conundrum, especially concerning bootable partitions. Some time back I rendered a partition containing OpenSUSE unbootable because of this, even though Ubuntu owned the GRUB bootloader in the MBR. Ubuntu's GRUB could find and point to the partition using the command "sudo update-grub", but when OpenSUSE took over the boot-up process, its GRUB was pointed to the wrong partition and would freeze up.

My question is this:

Under Windows, one is able to make a Drive letter persistent. Windows will keep the drive letter for that partition and assign around it. Is there a way to change a drive designation number, or at least make it persistent, under Linux? It would be a handy method to forestall these types of booting problems, among other things.

Presently, when a person has installed Linux side-by-side with Windows and want to delete the Windows partition and expand the Linux partition into the free space, I will tell them to format the partition, then shrink it to next to nothing instead of deleting it. This preserves the partition ID scheme while giving them the space to expand their Linux partition into...especially helpful with a seasoned Linux installation that would be a PITA to reinstall and set back up.

Oh, and I already know about UUID. This article explains it, but if you look down through the comments, you will see reasons that it is problematic for desktop application and usage. I want to make it as simple as possible for new Linux users (and myself! ).

Slackware :: Video Settings On Dual-dvi Out Card

Feb 2, 2011

Finally replaced my incredibly antiquated Ti 4200 with a GeForce 9600 GT, but I'm having a few problems. The main one would be that I can't see anything when I drop to terminal (the monitor shuts off)- I could when I had a spare svga monitor hooked up through an adapter, but now I'm using dual DVI monitors. Do not have an svga cable to spare at the moment. The second seems to be a doublethink problem- a good while back when this computer was a fresh install, I could have sworn I had the option for the resolution 1680x1024- this is an *essential* resolution for twinview, because my second monitor is 1280x1024, and setting this widescreen to 5:4 is just... wrong.Simple restart solved the terminal issue (I hotplugged the monitors). Resolution thing is still a standing issue. I have a 1050 capable monitor, but the display portion is an inch shorter than the widescreen.

Fedora :: Persistent Yum Update Error Dejavu

if the dejavu updates are selected then updates fail. I uncheck the dejavu updates and everything else updates fine. Trying to update dejavu by themselves results in "no transaction to process" error. I was kind of hoping that this would be noticed upstream and dealt with, but after several update cycles the problem persists. I can't remove the dejavu fonts because half the software on the machine would be removed as well.
