Altering DPI in xorg.conf solved the problem, see details at bottom.ORIGINAL POST:I used jockey-kde to activate the nVidia (closed-source) driver in order to fix some full-screen problems I was having.It has fixed that, but now everything is really big. I have my resolution set to 1680x1050 but it appears to be lower than it was before - the K menu, for instance, takes up about 1/6 of the screen when I open it. I took a screenshot here:http://i.imgur.com/94lyN.jpgI know this isn't much information, but can anyone tell me why - while the desktop appears to be larger with a higher resolution - applications are actually appearing as though the resolution is lower?

I have it in a Datacenter far away my office, so when it happens I have to ask the provider to reboot it manually because it always happen in working hours and my clients gets mad on that moments. It happens every 15 days (more or less). It is very difficult to get the procesess status, but today hangs again and I could connect (a very very slow connection) and save a "ps aux".

There are some scripts that you can see as "php /var/www/html/call_engine.php ..." that are consuming CPU more than I expect and I will correct, but I would like to know about the other processes like many crond or the "/usr/sbin/sendmail -FCronDaemon -i -odi -oem -oi -t". Or maybe the whole problem would be the php script?
I want to extract a huge .tar.gz file but when I do extract it stalls the server. The server is write heavy and extracting seems to choke the disk. Is there a nice way to extract without stopping the world? I've tried the 'nice' and 'cpulimit' command but they don't seem to do the trick.

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.
I have a huge log file of around 3.5 GB and would like to sample random sections in the middle of say 10 MB for the purpose of debugging what my application is doing.
I could use head or tail commands to get the beginning or end of the file, how can I grab an arbitrary portion from the middle of the file? I guess I could do something like head -n 1.75GB | tail -n 10MB but that seems clumsy and I'd need to determine line numbers for the midpoint of the file to get 1.75GB and 10MB line counts.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI use a program which makes a large image which I have to scroll to view. The program has no way to save the image, and I have no access to the source to modify it. The only way I have to get the image from the program is by screenshot. My goal is to save the full size image without having to piece together individual screenshots. I'm using this script to try taking a screenshot:
#!/bin/bash
window=$(wmctrl -l | grep "Program$" | awk '{print $1}')
wmctrl -v -i -r $window -e '0,0,0,6030,5828'
wmctrl -i -a $window
import -window $window ~/Desktop/screenshot.png
This uses wmctrl to get the window id ($window) for a window named "Program". It then tries to resize the window to the desired dimensions. It uses imagemagick (import) to save a screenshot.png on the user's Desktop. All of this works except the resize step. I can resize the window using wmctrl -r -e, but sizes greater than the screen size don't work. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 and the Gnome Desktop. I run two monitors, but I've tried this with one of them disabled. Is there a way to resize the window larger than my screen to get a huge screenshot?
Part II: I tried using xrandr to set up screen panning, so as to have a bigger desktop than my monitor. xrandr --output LVDS --panning 2600x2500 This command makes the laptop screen pan over a 2600x2500 size desktop, even though it can only show 1440x900 at one time. To turn off the panning, I can use a similar command to set total size and with zeroes for the panning section. This gives me back my original laptop display behavior. xrandr --fb 1440x900 --output LVDS --panning 0x0 This is all done with xrandr, and does not require any Xorg.conf changes (my Ubuntu system doesn't even have an Xorg.conf).
My video card seems to only allow about 6.5 million pixels, even though the maximum dimensions are 8192x8192. That maximum seems to be the maximum for either dimension, but there is a limit to how many pixels can be drawn, which is the width multiplied by the height. Once I did the screen resize, I tried my script again and got a screenshot. The screenshot however is totally scrambled. I'm not sure if it's unable to take a screenshot of an off-screen window or if it is unable to handle the large dimensions of the window. With the panning display, the window should think it is visible, and the window manager should think it is on-screen. So there is a pixel buffer somewhere with those pixels in it, so there should be a way to get a screenshot.

I'm quite new to linux but I have configured a simple ftp server and it's working great. I have a FTP-Shared folder with upload and download subfolders. Under upload's and download's I have identical category subfolders like mp3's, movies, software etc. in both. As the guy's upload, I would like to create a line crontab where I can move all the content under /FTP-Shared/upload/mp3/* older than 14 day's to FTP-Shared/downloads/mp3/ recursively (Like in cp command), but the timestamp must be searched on the first directory and not sub files example: /mp3/Club Dance/CD1/Hallo world.mp3This is how far I got:[root@clients ~]# /usr/bin/find /FTP_Shared/upload/Mp3s/ -depth -mindepth 1 -mtime +14 -type d -exec mv -f {} /FTP_Shared/download/Mp3s/ ;This command moves the directory and files, but it is not recursively
