I had installed Ubuntu 10.10 and there was a dim spot on the left side of the monitor. I could move the window to the right, but anything on the left was dim, and if I set the window to full screen, the whole screen went dim. I was able to find a fix online, I followed the instructions, and Voila! It was fixed, so I knew it was not a hardware issue. I installed 11.04, and have the same dim screen issue, but I can't find the instructions that fixed it last time. I tried to download and install the latest driver from NVIDIA, and I get this error:
ERROR: You appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing. For further details, please see the section INSTALLING THE NVIDIA DRIVER in the README available on the Linux driver download page at www.nvidia.com. If anyone has any fix for the dim screen
I am new to this forum. I am a both rhel5 and fedora user.I can not configure my Samsung syncmaster 632nw monitor to display full screen at 1360X768.There is huge blank space on left and right portion of the monitor.The maximun resolution is 1024*768 and minimum is 640*480.
I have tried many times to solve it using xorg.conf but still unable to do it.
Here is xorg.conf's content :
on a 6-7 years old compaq laptop, connected to a brand new hp monitor i am having a mismatch with computer/monitor resolution.
before i had ubuntu 10.04 which could only run in x's safe graphics mode - allowing for full screen resolution but with handicapped graphics - for example videos fullscreen would be quirky and run with cpu at 100%, something which was no problem before 10.04.
then i tried ubuntu 10.10 and later lubuntu 10.10 (which had exactly the same problem); the monitor is running 1440x900 while the computer is rendering to only 1024x768 - leaving a huge black border on right and bottom of screen. the gfx is still crippled; videos fullscreen is quirky as before.
Can anyone help with me configure my dual-screen monitors for rotation? I have xrandr 1.1. Have tried various approaches, nothing takes. I can't even get the xrandr options to show up in KDE's Display control panel.

If a file gets created in the user's Desktop folder, or if a drive is added to the machine and a Desktop icon is correspondingly created, they will by default appear on the left side of the desktop (unless, in the case of the latter, the specific drive has been created before and dragged to the right side, in which case GNOME will remember to put it in the same place).
Because I have a terminal window embedded onto my Desktop in the top left corner and occupying most of the screen), I keep my icons on the right side of the Desktop instead of the left (Mac style) - Any time I add a new drive or a file is sent to the Desktop, however, I have to kill the terminal window to be able to click on the icon, then drag it back to the right side, then restart the terminal.
Is there any way to tweak GNOME so that these icons are added from the top right corner and down instead of from the top left, automatically?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm using KDE 4 under Slackware 13.1, and I'd like to move the minimize, maximize, and close buttons to the left side of the windows titlebar. Is there any way to do this on KDE? I've looked under all the windows options, and the 'Buttons' section only contained a list that didn't seem to have what I was looking for.I've only been using KDE for a couple of weeks, so I apologize if the answer is obvious, or if moving the buttons to the left is simply not an option. Any help would be appreciated.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI did a LiveCD to USB install, following the directions I found at [url] When I went to reboot to the USB stick, all I get is a black Screen (monitor is on and lit, just nothing on the display) No cursor or command prompt. I've tried holding shift to bring up the GRUB menu, changing splash quiet to nomodeset, or just adding nomodeset after the splash quiet thing. I've even tried xforcevesa instead of nomodeset still black screen. Looking at the logs nothing is current as of the last time I tried to boot the computer, it's strictly what was written when I installed it to the stick. Other things I've checked/tried, Pressing CTRL+Alt+F1 at GRUB to get TTY, all I get is that blank screen. I've Checked etc/default/grub to ensure the timeout was higher then 0. The Install CD seems to be OK but I have (as it did another install successfully) but I haven't done any throughal checking of it (there was no check this disk on the first screen of the LiveCD) The USB sticks also seem to be ok (in windows though). Using the disk utility on the live CD I did check the file system on the USB stick, the "/" partition came up clean. Anybody have any other thoughts on this install, any thing else I can check?

Note the huge space between the 1st and 2nd Column..
This is because currently I have some NAS drives mounted which are not showing due to grep. When they are not mounted. The output is fine with equal spaces between each column (like between col 2 and 3.. or 3 and 4). I want to do a (dare I say) sed or awk or something to reduce the space between 1st and 2nd col. So that it has space like between col 3 and 4.. or 2 and 3. This is because I am showing this output somewhere and because of the space its not showing up correctly.Also I hope the command will still work when the NAS drives (afp) are not mounted.. basically consistency. The spaces are not showing properly in the quote tag. Changed it to CODE tag.
Just did a fresh install of Natty B1 (previously had alpha 2).. I noticed this issue w/ A2, as well.. plugging in the exterminal monitor (via mini-displayport-to-vga connector) will do the following:
1) turn the screen on the laptop's display entirely black (but not turn it off).. i can move and see the mouse cursor.. but everything on the window appears to not rending or "painted" black..
2) external monitor never becomes active..
the only way to recover is to kill/restart X or reboot after disconnecting the extmon.. having extmon plugged in from boot produces the same results (and it doesn't seem to ever become active during boot up). sometimes this won't happen right away if i plug in the external monitor.. but opening the Monitors system prefs dialog will definitely cause (or detect displays) ,etc I waited to see if the issue would fix itself w/ the beta update, but it hasn't.. Any other 8,1 owners out there that can verify this issue? My (totally uninformed) guess is that it's due to differences in the display/gfx hardware and thunderbolt integration(?)
(I've seen a verification verifications of working-out-of-the-box.. but they were from 8,2 and 8,3 owners (which have discrete graphics cards))... If anyone's gotten this to work with some config stuff, I'd love to see that as well (since the wiki page for 8,1 says it works ootb). If someone could let me know where I should look to capture error output when the above issue occurs, that would be awesome.

I have a nice widescreen HPL2045w monitor. My system has an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 card and I'm using the NVIDIA driver for X (Linux AMD64) and it's GREAT ... except I have A HUGE PROBLEM when I try to use xrandr to rotate the screen over to the left!
(And that it the whole point of this monitor, since it's so wide... I want to have a "long" screen for viewing lots of text and stuff!)
Ok what happens is when I do "randr -o left" it rotates, but there's a huge chunk of the X desktop off to the right of the screen and I can't see it. Is there a way to resize it? Also, most of the time the desktop ends well before the bottom of the monitor. I can see the background image that I have on my xdm screen peeking through, so it MUST be possible to utilize the whole screen ... I found a few modes where I can get to the bottom of the screen, but ALWAYS no matter what about half of the desktop is lost and hidden to the right.
I have been trying to create a new mode with xrandr but this has not been working.
What do you do when you have a widescreen tilt monitor and want to rotate it and use the long vertical screen for your X session? Shouldn't the X session just resize everything to fit? Or can this be done? I don't need super resolution guys, I just need to get everything to fit in the screen... would love your help!
I'm using stable Debian (lenny), with all the latest X, xrandr, the nvidia package, etc. I'm not afraid to experiment but I'm coming up empty!
My old 19" LCD Samsung monitor has given up, I find it is very expensive to replace it with a new LCD monitor of the same size and geometry as most new monitors on the market are now "widescreen".
My question is: is there anything odd I should expect if I buy one of those (Samsung S20A300B) for word processing applications (no interest in graphics)?
At first glance, the wide screen seems to be a bonus as it displays more of the layout of (my) HTML pages but I need more crisp characters than good and nice colors.

Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.
Here is the output of df -h:
Code:
As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?
If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(
In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:
Code:
You would think it would be easy to do this (and essential to maximizing and predicting the usage of tapes), but apparently this isn't so. The program MT(1) actually had some commands that give the block positition (if supported by the drive) from which the remaining space could be deduced (even if you couldn't predict exactly how much space the next archive would take up). However I'm using MT(1L) which no longer has such commands.
