Ubuntu :: Customizing LiveCD With Zenity And Window Position?
Jan 21, 2011I've been making a "gui" for a script to help automate some of the steps involved in customizing a live cd with zenity. I have a menu with radio buttons for each option. When I pick "Remove a package manually", I have it show all of the installed packages as well as a text box for me to type the name into. The only downside to this method is that the package window overlaps the text box. Is there a way to change the window position of zenity windows?

May 20, 2010I am very happy with Ubuntu 10.04 that I downloaded, burnt to CD and installed (I am a newbie to Linux), but I am finding a little problem on an old Sony lap-top, with a rather old-fashioned almost square screen.The top bar of any screen image is just off the top, and I can only see a quarter of it, which makes using the max/min and cancel buttons a bit hard to use. I know I can resize the screen, but it goes back to the original next time it is used. Is there a permanent fix?
View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Screen Position A Few Pixels Off?
Oct 24, 2010In 10.04 on a Shuttle the screen position is a few pixels off. I fix this with xvidtune for the session. I also get a new modeline. I build a new xorg.conf file (go virtual terminal, stop gdm, Xorg -configure, etc) and move it to /etc/X11. I introduce the modeline in the monitor section and reboot (I could do a service gdm stop...). Guess what, my screen is still a few pixels off. The documentation clearly states that if there is an Xorg.conf, it will be used. So what gives?
This problem has existed since the xorg.conf file was dropped. It is just plain silly that one has to engage in a geeky treasure hunt to correct a few pixels. This adjustment should be present in the System/Preferences/Montors. This is why Linux does not make it with ordinary users, making (superficially) simple things difficult.
Ubuntu / Apple :: Adjusting Screen Position With Xrandr?
Apr 9, 2010I am running a dual boot conifg with OSX and Ubuntu PPC (karmic) on a 2004 G5 and everything is working pretty well - very well actually. The last thing I am trying to adjust is such a simple thing, but I just can't seem to get it. In Ubuntu, the screen position is shifted to the right, covering the scroll bar of windows and the trash can.
No problem, just use xvidtune, adjust the screen as I want and create a custom modeline right? Well, it does not seem to work.Here is what I did:Using xrandr I created a --newmode and then used --addmode to add it to the output I am using (default):
Code:
mieren@G5-Ubuntu:~$ xrandr --output default --newmode 1680x1050_new 146.25 1680 1820 1996 2268 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
mieren@G5-Ubuntu:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050
[code]....
Notice how the new mode now lacks the rest of the config information specified in the --newmode above, not sure if this is normal.I can change to the new mode, and the resolution is correct, but the screen is still not adjusted. There is no difference switching between the 1680x1050 and the 1680x1050_new modes - the screen may flash, but the position does not change.
(I also tried adding a mode line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf screen section, but it also has no effect. Actually, there was no xorg.conf existing at all, so I created a minimal one.)It is really annoying to have to adjust the screen position using the monitor controls on every reboot.
Debian Multimedia :: Screen Freezing When Launching Flightgear
Apr 7, 2016Few days ago I did a major update to Jessie and now I can't use Flightgear simulator. The screen freezes and cannot even switch to another terminal using CTRL+ALT+F1. I can SSH from another machine and see that the CPU is stuck and it has to do with X.org. I bet it's a video driver issue that came with the update.
Did some memory, SSD and video card tests from within Windows and it passed. Flightgear can be loaded on Windows without freezing.
The PC has an integrated Radeon HD 4250 graphics card.
Tried dpkg-reconfigure firmware-linux-nonfree. Flightgear can start but it freezes after a short while. Same happens if I reinstall that package. Without the nonfree driver, I have very low FPS but it works.
Also, I put in another Radeon card (almost same generation) and had the same result: computer freezes completely.
Solved it by upgrading to kernel 4.4. This proves that a bug has been introduced with the latest kernel update. And it tastes like Ubuntu when they break drivers...
Ubuntu :: Memorize Application Position On A Dual Screen And Workspace?
Dec 15, 20101) I got a dual screen and I can drag applications on screen No2. But if I log out, reboot or close the application, it will go back to screen No1. Is it possible to memorize the position of an application on Screen No2?
2) I use workspace a lot. I like to split them by function. I got "Development": Netbeans, firefox (one on each screen), "communication": Evolution, gwibber, empathy (Evolution on 1 and the rest on 2) and "Entertainment" (anything not involving work)Every morning, I have to move my applications to the diferent workspace. It would be great if on startup they just go where I told them to be!

View 3 Replies View RelatedCentOS 5 Hardware :: Launching X11 Sometimes Crashes Core I5 Clarkdale With Black Screen
Aug 23, 2010I am having a problem with my Core i5 system running Centos 5.5. The system will lock up with a black screen on occasion when launching X11 - this could happen at any time, from the install CD the first time it's being installed or trying a live CD, or the 3rd-10th time I launch startx from tty1 or sometimes just switching from tty1 to display0 or display1. When the crash occurs, sometimes the systems fans will all turn on loud, and the reset button becomes non-responsive. Other times the screen is black and it just sits there and I have to hard power off. There's nothing in /var/log/messages.
I tried a fix from an old post for 5.4 adding the option for "DDC" "false" in the xorg.conf file, and this did not help. I also ran all the system updates, no help.
The system is totally stable so long as I don't switch between ttys and X11 or launch new X11s (it's also stable under other OSs and has passed Memtest86+ 4).
Is this an instability with the Core i5 driver? The "Video Card" in the display options is set to "intel - Experimental modesetting driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets" - the "experimental" part is a little scary. Should I try setting the driver to "i810" as the 5.5 release notes recommends (again there's no onboard "chipset" this is an embedded graphics processor on the i5 CPU).
here's the getinfo.sh dump

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Dual-monitor Mouse Position Jumps When Moving Off-screen
Nov 4, 2010I have a dual-screen set-up with Ubuntu 10.10. I have an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 video card. I use my lower-resolution laptop screen on the left and a larger monitor on the right. The monitor is also physically higher than the monitor. See attachment for a screenshot.I have correctly set up my displays so that if the mouse is in the middle of the screen it can move from one screen to the other without jumping. The jumping happens when moving off of one screen in an area where the other screen is not directly next to it (some people call this 'the void').
Example: (See the attachment for a visual example of this.) My mouse is in the external monitor (right monitor). As I move the mouse to the top-left of the monitor (position 1), I by mistake go a little too far and instead of hitting the Ubuntu applications menu, I ended up at the top-right of the laptop monitor (left monitor; position 2). I quickly realize my mistake and move the mouse back to the right monitor, but now the mouse is at the middle-left position (position 3).This same error occurs by moving the mouse on the laptop monitor (left monitor) passed the bottom-right position. This is a big problem when scrolling vertical scroll bars on the laptop monitor (left monitor).I am looking for a fix that if the mouse is at position 1 in the attachment and I move the mouse left, it stays at position 1 and does not go to position 2.
Ubuntu :: Locked Toolbar - New Position For The Toolbar That Sits At The Top Of The Screen
Mar 30, 2011I have been working for the last three months with Ubuntu 10 on a destop. Doing just fine and loving it. I decided to try a new position for the toolbar that sits at the top of the screen. I did a right click and moved it to the right side of the scree, didn't like the look of that. Right click on the bar and moved it to the left, didn't like that either, so moved it to the bottom. having done all that I thought I could put it back at the top but alas, I can not right click on the Toolbar.
It seems as though the two bars are fighting each other at the bottom of the screen.I would like to go back to the default position at the top of the screen. I do have a terminal window available to me on the desktop so if I could find out the command line to type in, I should be able to reset my tool bar. Being new I have no idea what this command would be.

General :: Launching TMUX Using Gnome Terminal
Oct 18, 2010I'm a little confuse regarding how one launches tmux. When I launch my terminal (current gnome-terminal), I would like to have tmux up and running. I'm currently doing this by calling "tmux" in my .zshenv (kind of like .bashrc in bash). This does in fact launch tmux, but has some annoying side effects. First, hitting Ctrl-D to exit the shell, only kills tmux, and leaves the tmux-less gnome-terminal still running. An additional Ctrl-D will kill that as well. Second, when ssh into a box with this setup, I get a second, nested instance of tmux. I don't want tmux to launch again when I ssh. Is this the right approach, how should tmux be launched usually?

General :: Nvidia Module Not Launching After Update
May 8, 2011I don't seem to be able to launch the nvidia module. It is installed with
# apt-get update

# m-a purge --force nvidia-kernel-source
# m-a prepare
# apt-get install nvidia-kernel-source/unstable
# m-a a-i nvidia-kernel-source
All seems to be fine, the build and install is successful, but launching xorg fails. The log shows, well not what it use to since my last attempt. Now it is trying to load several other drivers before it defaults to the vesa driver. But that may not be the case if I reenable xorg.conf. It was saying something about not being able to "open" the nvidia module. Not that it was not there but it was not able to read it, like the permissions were not right. I checked the permissions and they are 644. A different debian install I have on the same machine has those same permissions.

Nov 15, 2010I lastly used KDE (version 1.x ). Now I'm using KDE 3.5 for several weeks and one thing really annoys me: there are a lot of programs that don't remember their last window position and/or size. They always default to a specific location/size when I close and open them again. I give you some examples:
Program that doesn't remember anything:
- Konqueror
Program that remembers window size, but not position:
- KMail
Nice Program that remembers everything:
- Basket Note Pads
Is there a way to tell these programs to remember their position/size?And a second question about konqueror: Can I tell konqueror to remember the view mode? I prefer MultiColumn view, but it always defaults to Icon view.
