If so how would one do this? If not why does the switch have to be fibre channel?
I am using a Fling KVM switch (by Belkin), to connect 2 computers to my monitor One computer is running XP and the other is running Linux. My wireless switching mechanism has just gone the way of the saints but Belkin has supplied a software solution for this occurrence. There is a small app called Fling (surprising) that allows me to switch from the XP machine to the Linux machine but nothing to switch back to the XP. What I need to know is there a similar app for the Linux computer. (NB I have tried Synergy but have no idea how to set it up - I've been told that synergy might work).

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have been having problems recently due to the changes to the Display configuration between various Fedora versions. They used to have the "system-config-display" application which only real fault was that it was not terribly good at setting up multiple monitors. Now they have "gnome-display-properties", which is better for dual or triple head, but worse for everything else and has been given me mostly pain since the switch.
At any rate, "system-config-display" had the option of changing the display to only have 16 bit colours, which I need for certain older games or games made with old engines. This option is not available from "gnome-display-properties". Is there a nice desktop environment or distribution agnostic command that one can put into a terminal to change the display between 16-bit and 32 bit colours?
So, how do I switch from Gnome to KDE safely? Every time I attempt this, I crash the whole thing and have to start over.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently fallen in love with the speed and great performance of the xfce desktop. The only problem I have is that the default file manager is Thunar.
How can I change it to Dolphin?
The answer seems like it would be easy but I seriously can't figure this out.
Edit: I upgraded system form fedora using yum...
Edit: Very strange, After I installed the NVIDIA drivers, It is OK...

View 2 Replies View Relatedsometimes (not often, like once a week) in my F13, X freezes: the pointer still moves but I can't click and I can't switch to VT. The only thing I can do is power down holding the power key! The system is not frozen (Once I've ssh into it), so I think I can avoid this drastic shutdown. I remember the option "DontZap" was used in Xorg.conf to permit the use of the CTRL+ALT+DEL to kill X, now is missing. Can I restore it, somehow? Otherwise can I have a way out from X? In my opinion the use of the power button is unacceptable
View 2 Replies View RelatedAs everyone knows, the graphic user can be swithed with Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or F1 in Fedora). There are also a few text mode consoles - Ctrl+Alt+F2...F6.
Fortunately, there is a Switch User button when the screen is locked from Gnome with the default screensaver.
The question is how can a new graphical user be switched from console (Ctrl+Alt+F2...F6) if the screen is locked by some other screensaver which does not have this function?
So I was using Minecraft and it was working just fine, but then I got a rather common error. The fix is always to switch over to java sun. I did this, but now it has a black screen when I start the game. I realized after this that I hadn't tried simply reinstalling minecraft. reinstalling it did not fix the new problem. Can anyone tell me either how to switch back to jdk or how to fix the black screen?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy laptop is now running F15 and I'm so far satisfied execpt for one thing. As I expected, a problem with Mutter (Gnome 3 window manager) is 3D performance. Compositing window managers cause a serious hit in OpenGL applications. So: No playing 3D games.
On my desktop computer I use Compiz-icon's menu to quickly switch between Compiz and Metacity. I use Metacity during playing OpenGL games.
How could I do something similar in Gnome 3 without using the fallback mode all the time? Using scripts to start a separate X session for games might be a usable hack, but doesn't sound very appealing. I'm going to eventually upgrade my desktop's F14, but I think I'll wait at least until G3 gains a few more features.
Using Ubuntu Linux for some years now I love CUPS functionality to switch on the printer (at least my USB connected HP Deskjet) automatically when a new print job has been submitted to CUPS. This does not work in Fedora 15? Does anyone know how to enable this or has the new CUPS or any other component lost this functionality?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using F14 (preupgrade has an unhandled exception) x86_64 version with Gnome desktop, and I think after some updates I'm unable to go directly between app toolbar to os toolbar and vice versa. For example, I can start opera fine. Once it's started, I'm not able to change tabs or basically do anything in opera, but I can still access the window tabs on the bottom (OS or buttons on top). I need to right click somewhere on the OS, and then go into opera to use mouse there.
Once I do that, then I can't access the OS buttons, (switch windows/screen on bottom, volume controls on top, open new apps) until I right click somewhere in opera. It seems like there's a right focus button that is stuck somewhere. I'm not sure which recent upgrade caused it (if it was an upgrade), as it was working fine for a long time before. Keyboard shortcuts are ok though. It seems to be a gnome problem, as when I logged into KDE desktop it is ok.
i just installed fedora 9, but realized that i had installed the x86 version (it came on a dvd in linux format magazine). i didn't know that the "only-3gb-of-ram-for-x86" applied to linux, as my previous machines i used it on had under 3gb anyway. so anyway, is there a way to switch to the x86_64 version without downloading and reinstalling it? kinda like ubuntu's distro upgrade (not sure if other distros have it?)

How do I use the proprietary graphics for my nvidia card?
I use KDE, and I've installed both kmod-nvidia and akmod-nvidia, and when I went to activate the special affects I ran into problems. I had to use Xrender for it to work at all (and that just went really slow) whereas OpenGL just made my screen go black, with a mouse and window borders if I alt+tabbed.
I reinstalled and only have the default video driver installed (nouveau or something like that) and I'm a bit scared to try prorprietary graphics without a step-by-step guide that works, which I haven't been able to find.
I downloaded the KDE version, now I'd like the gnome version. And does fedora have a package management similar to ubuntu like 'sudo apt-get install firefox'? I'd like to know.

1. It seems ok when all users quit using browser,and it doesn't matter how many times you switch between users.
