General :: Screen Broken Into Sections

Sep 22, 2010

I just installed ubuntu 9.1 on an inspiron 4000. The screen looks like like its been split and I can't see the options to try to change display options. I have uploaded a picture from my phone. It kinda sucks but it's there. I have tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". this gives me nothing but an empty prompt. I have also tried "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf". this gives me box where I can type but enter doesn't make it submit, just moves down a line and there is no information there like it seems there should be. I got to the display preferences and it says the monitor is unknown. changing the display resolution does not fix it. FIXED by going here: [URL]...

General :: Ubuntu To Kubuntu - Terminal Screen In The Top Left - Broken

Mar 5, 2011

I have been using Ubuntu for a week and getting on well with it. After reading reviews I decided to try Kubuntu. I installed it from the terminal and all seemed to go well. Now when I start the computer and select ubuntu it goes to a log in screen. I type in my user name and password and all I get is a terminal screen in the top left. If I close this I go through a 'broken screen' and back to the sign in.

Programming :: Gc-sections Remove All Function Not Used?

Nov 18, 2010

This is my file, named xxx.c. And there are two functions in it.

[code]...

When I try to compile the whole project, I used -ffunction-sections,-fdata-sections to generate the .o files, use Wl,--gc-sections -Wl,--print-gc-sections to link to the exacutable file. gcc 4.3.2 ld 2.18 Debian 5 After the first time I compiled it, I got a list of Removed functions. But one second later, I rememberd that I forget to close the Compile Switch: Debug. Then I had to recompile it and got another list. Compare these two lists, I found that , bxx isn't on the second list. First I guess that bxx is a debug function but never used in debug mode, and it won't be compiled in release mode. I check the source and find that there was no compile switch for bxx. But it's caller function axx, is removed, both the debug switch is on and off. I try to compiled the project for several times , but the result is the same. I can't realized it , why? Is that the --gc-sections won't remove all the functions not used?

Server :: Why Mysql Automatically Logging In Without .my.cnf Or My.cnf Sections

May 16, 2010

I've checked and double checked that there is no user and password directive in /etc/my.cnf and ~/.my.cnf but it seems that every time I issue mysql it will drop me into the command line without prompting for a password or giving any pause. Of course, the only table I have access to when doing this is information_schema with read only on most of it and no access on the rest, but I was just wondering where else an auto-login style authentication could be coming from.

Programming :: Python - Parsing Data In Chunks / Sections?

Nov 5, 2010

As a curious side project I'm playing with mzXML data(an xml format for holding mass spec data). A typical scan can be quite large, even up into GB size. I'm wondering how would one go about parsing an xml file in sections, one section at a time. The idea being if the computer doesn't have enough memory to load up the entire data file, work on chunks of it at a time.

Ubuntu :: GUI Is Broken - Just Blank Screen After Login

Jan 28, 2010

Using Karma and kubuntu -single boot. When I restarted my machine, the login appeared as usual and I entered my usual password but it was not accepted . I tried several times including making sure that caps lock / num lock etc were not invoked.

I then rebooted into recovery mode and let it run its course. When I rebooted and input my login password, I can get a bit further. The login is accepted but the GUI opens with a blank wallpaper and the terminal prompt window open at the keevill@keevill-desktop.

The ls command shows the name of the files which are on the desktop but they are not visible on the GUI nor are any other icons for applications. It seems like the kubuntu GUI is broken or something. I tried uninstall and then re-install but just the same. If I am forced to re-install Ubuntu I guess this means I lose all my settings and applications will have to be all installed again ?? How can I avoid this?

Ubuntu :: Broken Packages - 8.04 Crashed On Login Screen

Jun 22, 2010

So, a friend's computer, running 8.04, refused to boot for a while, so I took a look at it. It appeared to boot fine, but when I got to the login screen, it crashed when I started typing. I did a hard power-off, booted it up again, and tried to update the packages (it has been disused for a few months, and I suspected that the problems had been fixed). Synaptic told me that I would have to uninstall a bunch of packages in addition to updating, which was all fine and good, but then it crashed at the end of it's purge, and left me wondering if the system would be stable afterwards. The update manager told me that I had broken packages, but then went on updating a few of them. When I went back to synaptic, it disagreed, showing no broken packages. I tried to open Firefox, but then GNOME crashed. How do I do a mass reinstall of all of the packages, and do I do this before or after I update the packages?

Debian Multimedia :: X Broken After Update - Screen Remains Black

Dec 20, 2010

So I'm pretty awful at keeping Debian up to date, I guess. I'm using cron-apt to fetch updates every night, then apply them whenever I get around to it. Well, I neglected that last part for a month or two, and after some routine downtime to clear the case of dust, I decided it was time to upgrade. So I ran the command, everything checked out fine, and I was on my merry way. Until a half-hour ago when I accidentally shutdown the computer (I use the same zsh prompt on each computer, so I got them confused.) I turned it back on, only to be greeted with a black screen after all the services started up.

Everything works: ircd, MPD, etc. EXCEPT, of course, X. At first I thought the update broke SLIM, but after checking htop and doing a killall slim, it doesn't appear to be running (the screen remains black.) I hit Control-Alt-f2 to get to get back to a terminal, then tried doing startx, which freezes the computer entirely. All the network services stop, I can't SSH in, etc. It's dead. If I'm not mistaken, Xorg.0.log should say something, but I'm not a huge expert on it. The last line isn't an error, I can tell you that. So what's the deal here? apt-get remove xorg and start over?

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub Broken + Black Screen On Boot

Jun 15, 2010

PC specs: i7 920, Ati HD5870, 4GB ram Installing Ubuntu 10.04 from a USB stick. The stick is fine as I installed Ubuntu on my laptop with it no problem.

Problem #1: The grub boot manager is missing. The first time I installed Ubuntu it appeared as usual and let me choose between windows 7 and ubuntu. Due to the black screen issues I uninstalled Ubuntu. Since then, every time I've tried reinstalling it I don't get the grub boot manager, instead my PC goes straight to windows. I have formatted the partition I installed Ubuntu on, as well as installing it on another drive, to no effect.

Problem #2: After the Ubuntu splash screen, I'm greeted by a black screen. After a few seconds my monitor goes into standby. Ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing, and removing quiet and splash from the command line didn't help either. I hear I need to use vesa drivers but I have no idea how to go about this when I can't even get the OS to start in the first place.

Ubuntu :: Broken Grub On Dual-boot System - Get A Flashing Cursor On A Blank Screen When Try To Load

Nov 2, 2010

I installed Win7 after Ubuntu (10.10). I attempted to reload grub so that I would be able to run them dual boot and now I can't load anything.

I followed the guide here: [url] and went threw it a couple of times now to make sure it wasn't user error.

I am using a live cd from 10.04 because it's the only one I have. Any chance that's why it isn't working properly? I wouldn't think so, but I assume that it's possible.

If that is the case; Any way to solve it without using the live cd? I cannot burn a new disk because I have to boot from disk to use my computer right now.

I just get a flashing cursor on a blank screen when I try to load.

Ubuntu :: Package Manager Says Have A Broken Package And Wants To 'upgrade' To The Older Broken One?

Sep 1, 2011

I was having a problem with a fresh 11.04 install and the VPN software I use for work. I found the fix was to upgrade the software, so I downloaded an RPM, converted it to .deb and installed it via dpkg. The install worked and the VPN software now works, but Package Manager says I have a broken package and wants to 'upgrade' to the older broken one. How can I fix this without breaking my VPN SW again?
