Jan 12, 2009I have a pc with 1 GB RAM,Intel Core Duo CPU(1.86 GHz).Recently during formatting of the pc with new windows , I (accidentally)powered off the pc during the process.Due to which what has happened is there is no screen during the time computer boots up when switched on.Only when there is a login window,the screen becomes active.I even installed UBUNTU (which I am still using) on the whole hard disk but problem persists.The problem seems to be independent of the OS.

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Fedora 12 How To Specify Monitor Type On Bootup
Jan 15, 2010I have a cheap usb kvm that doesn't pass the EDID data back to the computer from the monitor. And now Fedora 12 seems to rely on autodetection of the monitor to start up at the proper resolution. When I have my samsung 712N on the kvm, fedora 12 boots to only 800x600 max resolution. If I connect the monitor directly to the computer video card, fedora sets the screen resolution to the desired 1280x1024 properly.
When booted through the kvm, fedora won't let me detect or select the correct monitor, and I haven't found any way to work around the problem other than pulling the monitor off the cable, connect to the cpu, reboot. After it's booted I can reconnect the monitor to the kvm and the video is fine.
My question is does anyone know how to manually tell Fedora 12 at startup what kind of monitor I'm using and skip the bootup monitor detection? So far I've spent a couple unproductive hours with google to discover this isn't a totally uncommon problem and no site I've found seems to have any solution.
General :: Install On Old Desktop - Cannot Get It To Work From A Bootup Off Of CD Or USB
Jan 20, 2011So my friend dropped off an old Dell (from when the Pentium 4 was the best). The user password has been forgotten, and the User Accounts page will not display anything, so simply removing the password has been blocked. It has Windows XP installed. Unsure of what build and SP. Due to lack of interest to buy an OS, I decided to go with Linux. However, being new, I am unsure what Linux distro is best.
I tried Puppy already, but cannot get it to work from a bootup off of CD or USB. I was hoping for an ISO with a setup.exe type file in it, so I can simply log on in safe mode, and install. But with how many different versions and distros of Linux there are, you can see my reluctance to download and extract every ISO...
General :: Mounting Samba Shares At Bootup?
Sep 3, 2010I'm using ubuntu 10.04 (gnome) - at some point, I had manually mounted a samba share on the home fileserver,
mount -t cifs //homeserver/sharename /serverfiles
It now boots up automatically every time, which is definitely convenient but I don't know how it's being done. I'm going to be mounting the same share using sshfs when I'm away so I'd like to know how it works. When I googlify this, there is mention of altering fstab (which has not been done) or gnome-mount (which does not seem to be it). There is nothing in preferences/startup applications, what is the automounting mechanism being used?
General :: SD Slot Recognition Post Bootup?
Feb 21, 2010I have an Acer Aspire One "netbook" that has 2 SD slots. If I insert and try to mount an SD card post bootup it can't detect the card (not listed in fdisk -l, and no messages generated to dmesg). Almost as if the slot isn't functioning.
The weird thing is, if I boot the computer up with the SD card IN the slot, it picks it up no problem, shown in fdisk as /dev/mmcblk0p1, and I am able to mount it no problem. I am also able to unmount and remove the card and the SD slot continues to function normally. Although I can boot up the computer with the SD card in the slot with no issues, I'd like to be able to have that "slot" active on boot even if I don't have a card in it.
A few more details, Im running slackware 13 with fluxbox wm.
General :: Get Files From The Remote System During Bootup?
Jun 22, 2010i was browsing one of my friend hard drive using knoppix live CD, i was amazed to find that all the folder which he uses was empty, there was no files present in them, for example there was a folder in /usr/local named web, but when i browsed that folder using knoppix it was empty.I searched for files in every partition but still no result found.
After some time when i placed hard disk back and booted the PC normally, everything was in its proper place. Then i thought to make image of the hard drive and use it on my PC, the image booted well, but still those particular files were missing. I want to know how is that possible? Is there any way to get files from the remote system during bootup?

Programming :: Bash-shell-like Less Functionality In The Python Shell?

I'm hoping so as I hate scrolling and love how less works with simple keystrokes for page-up/page-down/searching etc.
