General :: Find Out How To Load Graphic User Interface In Jaunty
May 20, 2011
I am a newbie to Jaunty, so please forgive my descrip. terminology. I am experiencing a great amount of grief with my Jaunty install. I can no longer get a login screen in Jaunty. When I try to boot normally for this install I get an unclean shutdown screen & it goes into the "checking drive" mode. I uninstalled some applications such as has to do with touchpad, remote desktop, xorg-driver-fglrx etc. I reinstalled xorg-driver-fglrx, which I later found out that I do not need. I have an AMD64 HP system with ATI graphics onboard.
I need to find out how to load graphic user interface in Jaunty. Some of the necessary files have been completely removed by me & I need to reload the repositories and update my current install.The partition is encrypted but I have been able to login with the username & password for THIS encrypted install using the "repair broken system" part of the GRUB screen.
How do I go into the terminal and load repositories, and maybe the kernel so I can do an update/upgrade? I do not know if upgrade is part of what I need to do I wanna keep my Jaunty install so I can access 50G of data that is on this install. I have made no backup of this data!!!
I am able to login to my install using my username & password after I get to the "#" prompt, (option "fix broken system" in GRUB) so I know login can be done under username of install. I just need to know what to TYPE into the terminal to restore the necessary files in the right place to make it run. (Is it called terminal at that point?)
I am having an annoying problem with ubuntu 10.04. with SSH, I get connected to a linux server. The command line works well. But I can NOT get a graphic interface from it. For example:
i'v installed centos 5.4 on vmware, but their is no graphic interface so i try: yum groupinstall "Gnome Desktop Environement" "X window System" but it says no packages in any requested group available to install or update the commande: yum grouplist gives me Trixboxcore actually avery time i try to do a yum install <package> it returns no package <available>
I'm an absolute beginner and I've recently upgraded to 10.04 Lucid on a Dell laptop. Upon booting I get only a terminal window instead of the usual ubuntu graphic interface.
I cannot start my ubuntu 9.10 from graphic interface now. The system can boot into the graphic interface, but will stop response at the point just before the login window appears. I've triyed reinstalling the gdm, and rerun gdm from the character tty, but it did not work.
what the best free linux graphic design interface was? Possibly one from the ubuntu one software center. I tried boa constructor and it was glitchy and kept crashing. I want something very easy to use and as simple as possible as i am new to programming. I want something that also supports the major programming languages like python C++, etc and was also wondering where i could go to learn codes for python.
My system will not start. It reaches "Grub loading stage 1.5" and "Grub loading please wait....", then the machine tries to restart from scratch. I have tried using my bootable Heron CD but it gets to "Loading Kernel 100%" then tries to restart. I used the Normal option; the other options do not seem to work. Other symptoms are that the wireless mouse has been double clicking for one btton press and resuming from hibernation has often led to the system freezing within a minute or two. Memtest shows the RAM to be OK.
Lost the KDE graphic interface in root. Everything works perfectly for the default user but when I start a new session as root all I get is the standard green Suse backdrop with a white terminal window in the top left hand corner of the screen. what I need to type in this terminal window to get back to the graphics window?
I am using the sudo command to log on locally as another user by the following command:
sudo -u theotheruser -s or sudo -u theotheruser sh
As I see it, this initiates a new shell with the mentioned other user.However, this doesn't load that users profile from his home directory.Is there a way to automatically read the users profile when login in with selected command? I am mostely interested in getting a working prompt when logged in.
working on KDE, I cannot shutdown, reset, logout or switch users through graphical interface (you know, bit blue button, 'leave' tab and all these buttons).I've googled the problem, and here's what I have found:[URL]Guys on the Arch forum related the problem to the OGG files and phonon-xine - indeed, I cannot play OGG files anymore.I tried to install phonon-vlc, but the package is not in any of my repositories. I tried to remove libqt4-phonon, but it would also remove half of the system, which isn't the best idea. Someone else suggested to install speex, but it's already installed on my Kubuntu.I'm out of ideas, and I'm not really sure how to reinstall xine and phonon without deleting half of the system like this:
Code: The following packages will be REMOVED: akregator amarok apport-kde apport-qt apturl-kde ark calibre digikam dolphin dragonplayer
grub editor program or graphic interface that's in a repository. i would prefer that to having to do say KGRUBeditor from source, plus i dont want to install the kde requirements for it.
I have a problem with my graphic interface, it wont work any more, its just black i cant type password and login to get in the session, what can i do ?
Mac and Windows Vista have such pretty user interfaces with all the transparencies and stuff. Is there anything for Ubuntu Linux to improve the way it looks?
When I installed Ubuntu, I installed the Hardy Heron version. I kept on forgetting to upgrade my system when a new version of Ubuntu came out and now I am considerably behind. I want to upgrade to Karmic, but I can't find out how to do it without upgrading to Impala, then Jaunty, then Karmic. Is there a possible way I can avoid upgrading three times and only do it once?
Does any body knows how to disable the root login to the GUI , like i am running my redhat server on runlevel 5 and i dont need tht root to get login to the GUI , i ma talking about redhat 5.
Been using since summer 2009 the xserver no backfill from PPA: [URL] and it was working fine with my ATI video card. No heavy CPU usage when restoring from minimized and a general performance boost were the results of that use.But recently made an upgrade and realized that xserver-xorg-core package (check it from synaptic manager) has been upgraded to a jaunty-proposed version and the problems started to appear again!So using Synaptic I selected this package and hit CTRL-E key in order to choose the nobackfill version. This way things got back to normal!
Specifically, I'd love to know what the valid values of:
And, where I can find this information? I've always wondered if it was documented somewhere, or if there was an interface into the kernel to query for it.
i bought an ebay usb obd2 interface and i could not get it to work in ubantu netbook i want to use my laptop to use when i fix a car to be able to read the codes well i just installed ubantu i never used linx before but for some reason i got it to install on my laptop i allways used xp but i am sick of the crashing and read that ubantu was very good way to use linux.
I created new desktop account for my wife but it is not loading and I get an error message on log in that ICE.authority failed to load and than nautilus give an error message that nautilus unable to create folders in home directory. And then I get a blank desktop without any panels.
I burned a copy of the netbook 10.10 edition to a CD and tried to run it on my Acer Extensa 14" laptop to see the new interface. After loading files and about to load the interface nothing happened. I was left with the background and nothing else. What could be the problem? Can't you run it live from a CD as well as USB stick?
I have installed the Compiz program and after 30 seconds the main bar disappear...so I restart the computer but when I log in my account ubuntu doesn't load the interface...there's only the desktop..

I use a desktop with an unsupported VIA graphic card which lucid cannot find resolution higher than 800x600so I have to use generic video driver to get resolution higher then 800x600. My question is, which generic driver is better, vesa or fbdev or any other generic driver.
