My display on fedora 13 freezes, key board stops working, when I connect projector to my laptop. I see the display settings mentions "DVI monitor, resolution 1280X800 refresh rate 60.0". Do I need to set the resolution to some other number before plugging the projector on and do I need to change it back to the default resolution after unplugging projector

If I plugin a USB drive (external hard drivee) into my running Fedora 13 64-bit system - it occassionally freezes up. This behavior is intermittentI could not trace it to any /var/log/messages yet.
View 3 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'm currently a windows xp user but am making the switch over to something open source. My friend said fedora is excellent and so I might give it a shot granted I can get my aaxa p2 pocket projector to work on it. I use my laptop for a LOAD of presentations so it is of the utmost important that my OS can sync my projector. here is what I need it to do:
in those pictures, it is simply acting as a USB drive where I can drag and drop images from my desktop on to the projector itself. This is what I need it to do on the fedora platform as well. I want to say it should work no problem but i am unsure. I know the easiest answer would be to stick to windows because it works, but i'm sick and tired of having to reformat my computer every year because it becomes so cluttered with windows attacking spy/malware and viruses.
I've even been thinking about moving over to a *gasp* mac for this issue, but I hear that macs don't sync up to the aaxa projector very well. there is info on the site but i can't find any support so someone with more experience might be able to find it. [URL]..
oh, and I ask if it would recognize as a monitor because if I can't just put files directly on, i suppose I can throw it VGA to VGA and dual monitor my presentations - this is worser case scenario.
I'd like to know if it's possible to automatically mount, and fire up rsync to sync a USB drive with a directory? Specifically, I'd like to copy as much data as the drive can hold and only delete the oldest files if space is needed. I would assume I'd do something like this with a script, but my problem, is where to start.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I try to connect a projector to my laptop (already running) and hit the fn+f7 (the designated button for switching screen), nothing happens. I see "no source found" on projector screen and my laptop screen works perfectly. Now if I restart the laptop with the projector connected, I see all the intial booting messages on the projector screen (not on my laptop), then the gnome login screen appears on both the projector screen and laptop (when the login screen appears on laptop it looks like it has lower resolution than my usual laptop resolution). But immediately after I log in, my laptop screen goes blank, and projector screen becomes the only active screen.
If I restart without the projector, again all normal operation on laptop screen is restored.
I feel like I am missing some very silly options. Any help is appreciated.
Here is the output of xrandr when the laptop is connected:
Code:
We are having a cluster with couple of disk servers, compute nodes and a head node. Disk server is nfs mounted on all the compute and head nodes.
The problem is that if any of the disk servers hangs, it freezes rest of the cluster too which is dangerous. Ideally, cluster should not care about the hanged server and run without any problem except files from that server is not visible.
Is there any way I could avoid the problem of freezing cluster because of one hanged server?
When I connect my laptop to projector, its not detecting. But when I log-off and then log-in it automatically detects the display. I tried function key, but its not working.

I tried searching net, but couldnt find a good answer.It would be helpful if some one explains what exctly is happening and an easy work around for this problem.

My Graphic card is Nvidia G330M,and its driver is installed
A friend whom I turned on to Ubuntu with 9.10 recently connected a projector to watch a movie off her laptop. When it was connected, the laptop screen changed and it was clear that desktop effects through compiz were disabled. Thing is, since disconnecting the projector, I cannot get the effects back.If I go into Preferences - Appearance and click to enable Normal or Extra Visual Effects, the same thing happens. I.e. I get a popup saying Searching for hardware driver...and after about 20 seconds, the screen flashes a bit, and says
Desktop effects could not be enabled. Not sure why it's searching for a hardware driver. The computer doesn't require any 3rd party hardware drivers to be enabled - it doesn't have an nVidia card or anything like that.If it makes a difference, she yanked the VGA cord out without setting the display mode back to just her laptop with the FN and F key combo.I've tried:
-Reinstalling compiz
-Tinkering with options under Preferences - Display
-Ensuring that nothing is available under Preferences - Hardware Drivers
I am trying to communicate to a Sanyo projector using pySerial and am having issues. I have verified that my baudrate and parity are all set correctly. Here is my code (using COM13):
import serial
ser = serial.Serial(12)
ser.baudrate = 19200
[code].....
I have also tried variations using "CR0", "CR0", "CR0x0D" and nothing seems to change it. I'm using another application to ensure that I can speak to the Sanyo projector, and I get a correct response.CR0 is a status read of the hardware that should return something like "80" which would mean "STANDBY"However, the responses that I keep getting are things like 3,4, or 5 which seem to be errors, given that they are returned apparently based solely on the length of the String I send, not based on the actual command.
There's several threads dealing with overscan, but I've got an interesting twist in my setup that (I believe) is putting a kink into the proposed solutions. I'm trying to set up a media center PC with Ubuntu 10.~. The motherboard has built-in ATI graphics (3300 series), and connects to my television (Panasonic capable of 1080i) via HDMI. As can be expected, the overscan makes the top and bottom bars nearly invisible (as well as a portion of the sides).
When I run the Catalyst Control Center, it informs me that the monitor is a projector, not a TV. Try as I might, I can't convince the thing it's attached to a TV. When I run "aticonfig --tv-info", I am informed that a TV is not connected.
One question I could ask, though: does it matter? The reason I'm asking is that I can't find the "Configuration" menu option in the CCC that all the other threads talk about. I know where the little black triangle menu is, but there's no "Configuration" item in it. There's also (as best as I can tell) no way of adjusting overscan for a digital projector.
Here are the details:

This is the info from lspic:
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
(There is a sticker on the computer that says Mobile Intel GMA X3100, however.)
When I booted up the computer with the projector attached my bootloader appeared on the wall but not on the LCD. When I logged in my desktop appeared properly on my computer and is duplicated on the wall. However the wall image is very blurry. Part of the lower image is cut off and the right side is too short and there is a green band on the right edge a half dozen pixels wide.
When I booted (dual boot) into windows XP I got the same thing. Then I installed the proper drivers for the graphics adapter (they had not been installed because I hadn't used XP for anything but updating the BIOS) and the image lined up neatly and fit properly, and I could set the display to extend my desktop (instead of duplicate) it on the projector image. (This is what I would like to do under Ubuntu).
I'm concerned that my VGA controller doesn't have the right drivers or is set up incorrectly, but since I'm new to Linux I have no idea how to fix it.
Ubuntu 10.10Asus UL30Agraphic chipset Intel GMA 4500 MHDNative LVDS1 display resolution is 1366x768, but my laptop now boots at 800x600. Using xrandr to set resolution at 1366x768, I get the right dot pitch but the screen is still 800x600 px wide, left-top aligned on a 1366x768 display, so that I see a 168px black belt on bottom and a 566 black belt on the right. A vertical screen offset of 168 px affects also the pointer (touchpad) in the following way - I can move and see the pointer arrow all the display wide including the black region, but input (click) is taken for a position 168 px above the pointer visible position.
This is happening after having used the laptop with an external projector and gtkwhiteboard (wiimote based infrared pointer management). I then removed gtkwhiteboard to no effect.Everything works fine when booting in failsafeX, recovery mode. Here is output of uname -a

I'm having trouble starting Fedora 14 on my computer. The startup procedure freezes while starting system logger. Before this started happening, I had formatted one of my logical disk partitions which is supposed to be mounted under the /var directory. I think may be the cause of this problem. However, I don't know how to fix it, as I can't get into the Linux command line to do a umount. I don't have a CD with which to repair the system, so is there any way to fix this problem without one?

So when I first boot the pc, the 3 versions appear. Normally, that wouldn't seem like a problem "although I don't know why don't the new ones simply delete the old ones"..However, the new ones don't work. Only the oldest form which I installed through a CD is the one that works. The others just cause the computer screen to flash a couple of times and freezes.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.10 32 bit on my desktop and I've encountered a curious and somewhat frustrating issue. It appears that when I plug a flash drive, external hard drive or MP3 player into a USB port my computer turns off. Sometimes it happens instantly, other times it occurs a minute or two later when I'm transferring files. I'm not sure how to approach this issue. I've searched the forum and haven't found any mention of this. I am working on said desktop and all other hardware seems in good working order. If it helps, This is a 3 year old desktop with an AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600 cpu, a ABIT NF-M2S AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 motherboard, an EVGA GeForce 7600GT video card and a SATA harddrive. I can post a log if someone wants, not sure which one to post though.

I had an old Windows disk I wanted to see if I could get some files off of. I was a Windows XP installation, but it got a virus of some sort and eventually died completely. I had always wanted to try to get my files off of it so I could wipe it and use it as another drive. Well, I plugged it up in my computer and thought that it would just recognize it as a regular data disk, but instead somehow it got automatically set as the boot drive. The computer went from the BIOS splash screen to blank and back a couple times before booting Windows. I then tried resetting the other drive as the boot drive and also unplugging the Windows disk with the same result: an MBR error screen.
I fixed the issue by reinstalling the MBR with the repair tools in the openSUSE disk but I am really curious if anyone knows why this happened. Is it a Windows issue or a motherboard issue or perhaps something else?. My old computer was about 7 years old but this new one is well, brand new. So I haven't had much experience with newer motherboards but I know they have come out with a lot of new features so for all I know they may have something that can detect a Windows install and rewrite the MBR or something. I also wouldn't put it past MS to influence($) MB makers to include such a feature.
The one problem I have now is that the boot options no longer display the kernel version, and the splash screen with the progress bar no longer shows, just the standard text.
