My intention is to load Oracle 11g, however I know I will need to be able to export an X display back to my desktop (Solaris) to run the Oracle installer. What do I need to load to get X working enough to export the display back to myself. I need to provide additional information. Since I'm new I may not have adequately covered what's needed.
View 4 Replies View Related I am trying to run matlab on a remote mac through my laptop at home, which is a linux-based. I am not able to export the display. Here are the steps I followed.
1. xhost +remotehost
2. Log into remotehost (i.e., the mac machine)
3. export DISPLAY="192.168.2.2:0.0"
4. matlab
But I get the following message,
"unable to open display 192.168.2.2:0.0"
The reason I typed in that ip address in step 3 was that is the ip listed in the "wlan0" block when I typed "ifconfig -a" on my local linux laptop.
Exporting display from a Linux terminal to a Linux desktop is easy; you do the following:
On 192.168.90.121 (localPC):
xhost + 192.168.10.164
On 192.168.10.164 (remotePC):
export DISPLAY=192.168.90.121:0.0 <br/>
firefox
The Firefox window appears on my localPC. In the above case both PCs are Linux.
Can I similarly export the Linux display to a Windows PC? In the above example, localPC would be Windows and remotePC would be Linux.

I am now using PCLinuxOS as the monitoring host (where nagios is installed). PCLinuxOS returns this error :

When I start up my computer Xubuntu is asking me to login (which is strange as I have login disabled). Then, when I do enter my password, it is accepted and after a few screen changes I am returned to the login screen. (I know the password is correct as the login screen informs you immediately if you enter it incorrectly.) Also, I can see that my display settings have been changed--the monitor resolution is wrong--my cursor is way big as are buttons, text etc..

Is there any way to use "export" inside a bash script that will affect the variable in the parent process (i.e. the terminal where the script was run)?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to "export" the progress bar from wget display using sed. Basically, we have an app that starts wget to download a large file and we want to show a progress bar. Our application has a dbus interface to receive the download progress.
So we were think of a command like:
wget [] | sed [] | dbus-send[]
The problem at the moment is, how do you get the matched string out of sed and into dbus-send? I can get the progress string by:
sed -u 's/[0-9]*%/&/'
This populated '&' with the correct percentage, but I cannot seem to get this out of sed.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm running PC/OS 10.1, which is based on Xubuntu, I've got Compiz and everything installed on here. However, if I've got Compiz activated when I log out, I find myself with no titlebar or frames whenever I log back in. Thankfully, this is easily corrected by opening the Fusion Icon and going back to Xfwm and then going back to Compiz, where I have the titlebar and frames and eye-popping effects and the whole nine yards. But it'd be a lot nicer to not have to deal with having to correct that every time I log in in the first place.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently installed ubuntu 10.10 and am completely new to linux. Something I recently noticed is that my whole system will freeze 2 times after logging back in, but after that it works fine. I will log in, then it will work fine, but shortly after it will completely freeze. After about a minute, it will unfreeze and everything will work fine. Then after a little longer, the exact same thing will occur. After the second freeze and unfreeze, it never occurs again until I log out and log back in. I do not believe this occurs when first starting the computer.

Right now I edit this from the pocket drive in Windows 7 on my laptop with Sony's Vegas movie studio HD 9.0 I'm having issues with the laptop lately and with out bogging down in too many details I have to burn the edited video back to the mini DV tape and transfer speeds are causing me problems.
Is there a Linux video editing software that would let me export back to the camcorder? OpenShot doesn't seem to have that option and from what I remember of PiTiVi it doesn't either.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had problem with installing Nvidia, I install all available packages for Nvidia from Synaptic, restart the computer, and that is it. I can not access the windows interface anymore. Every time I restart my computer I got to TTY mode. I run Xorg.0.log and It seems that I have problem with the graphic card. I tried alt+ctrl+f7 and no luck. How can I get to safe mode or x interface (I believe it is called GUI or GDM!!!)? Do I need to reinstall ubuntu again?

Also On Friday 6-24-11 I added a device line to the /etc/fstab so that my CD/DVD device would load up at boat time. I would not think this to be causing the problem.Please advise me on how to get back my regular GUI interface for this Desktop.
Having just upgraded to 10.10, I've discovered Unity, and I'm afraid its not for me. I absolutely loved the previous interface, and was quite shocked and saddened to see it disappear. But I'd like to keep all the other new software that comes with 10.10. So my question is, can I install the old 10.04 beautiful interface to run on the 10.10 edition? Re-installation is a MS solution, that turned me on to linux in the first place!

In the clock display (Kubuntu 10.10 32-bit defaults at the lower right in the task bar) I have been having a problem. When I right click on the clock (is there a name for right-clicking when referring to both right and left handed people?) or sometimes when I just run my mouse over the clock, it changes from CDT to UTC. Doing it again reverses that. I'm speaking about the actual clock on the task bar, not the pop-up panel (tool tip?) that comes up when you roll your mouse over it.
I have both time zones selected so that I can see them in the pop-up info panel when I run the mouse over the clock for a second. But, normally, I just want the CST/CDT displayed always, in the task bar.
I've looked at all the options I could find and haven't found what I missed. It started up recently, so it was probably some setting I changed, but now can't find.
A minor problem, but annoying. Anyone? If the answer is already out there, link me up!
I have a Dell Latitude D610, and am running a 2.6.21.7 kernel. If I close the screen on the laptop, the display output switches to the external VGA output. When I open the screen, the display output does NOT switch back. This occurs when running X and when in command line mode. Is there any way to get the output to automatically switch back when I open the screen?

View 2 Replies View RelatedFedora 13, x86_64, up to date. Trying to get nVidia Quadro NVS 140M to display on a projector the same as it does on the laptop screen, which is 1680 x 1050. I failed to do so with the nVidia driver (latest version), so I want to go back to the nouveau driver and try with xrandr. I have always used the nouveau driver with Fedora without an issue, but in my former life in Ubuntu I sometimes switched back and forth between the "nv" driver and the nVidia driver.
Doing so was trivially easy - just edit xorg.conf replacing "nv" with "nvidia" or vice-versa, then restart X. However, after installing the nVidia driver via Yumex and using the nVidia config utility, I find that now I have an xorg.conf file that is loaded with stuff I don't understand, except that at the top it says it was created by nVidia, and there are two places where it says the driver is "nvidia." I have searched and all I can find is instructions for installing the nVidia driver.
Apparently that is meant to be a one-way ticket, because I can't find any instructions for how to return to the nouveau driver. Except stuff that is over a year old, and complaints from users whose systems failed to start X. What would happen if I just replace "nvidia" with "nouveau" in the xorg.conf file and restart X? I know if it won't start X I can boot to rescue mode and re-edit xorg.conf, but I'd rather ask first and do it the right way than have to repair a broken system.
I recently tried to plug my laptop to a TV and adjusted the settings consequently. The thing is now that I want to use it with the laptop screen. I can barely see the first top inch... I'm pretty shure it has something to do with the display configuration since it works flawlessly when I log in as a guestIs there a way for me to reset the screen to it default config without using my regular session?
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo, I just installed Fedora yesterday. I have been trying out different Linux distros and Fedora was next after Ubuntu and SuSE failed severely. So, I installed F14 yesterday and everything has been great... until I tried to set my JAVA_HOME variable. I followed the instructions here.
After editing $ vi ~/.bash_profile as the site instructs, I proceeded to log-out and log back in...except I can't log back in. I have repeatedly gotten the login screen, selected my account, and entered my password. When I enter my password incorrectly, it says 'Validation Error' and that is not what is occurring. The display goes black for a couple of seconds and I am redirected back to the log in screen.
I have XFX ATI-HD5670 and use proprietary catalyst 11.2-1 in 64-bit Fedora 14.
I am not sure when this started, or if it ever did work before, but when I started noticing that the screensaver will not turn off the monitor, I set the gnome power manager to make the monitor sleep after an hour.
Now, the display will not turn back on after it has been in sleep mode. I know the system is still running fine as I can ssh from another PC and see that everything seems to be normal, no error message in dmesg, /var/log/Xorg.0.log, etc.
/var/log/Xorg.0.log shows that monitor DPMS is not detected but still enables DPMS:
Is this a problem with catalyst driver? I know it's not the PC or the monitor, because I have a 2nd PC with the same video driver with the same problem, but others without this driver don't (ati open source, nvidia, etc. all work fine.)
I'm wondering if the problem always existed before, but I just didn't notice it because the display sleep mode was never set? If that's the case, my hunch is that it looked like it worked because the monitor was smart enough to turn itself off when the screensaver kicked in and just showed a blank screen, and the video driver was never involved with sleep mode until I set it in gnome power manager, at which point it started showing this problem of not waking up? And because the screensaver was no longer set to blank the screen, but to show some animation, that's why the monitor will never sleep anymore?
I was using GDE in my ubuntu system. But yesterday i did some thing so my ubuntu system has changed as debian. My login screen changed and i cant access "system->administration->Login window"
when i do this i am getting this error message
"GDM (GNOME Display Manager) is not running.
You might be using a different display manager, such as KDM (KDE Display Manager), CDE login (dtlogin), or xdm. If you wish to use this feature, then your system will need to be configured to use GDM instead."
