Hardware :: Fedora 13 Not Detecting 2nd Monitor?

Oct 4, 2010

I have ditched Windows and am getting back to Linux after a couple years off the wagon. Unfortunately, my dual-monitor setup doesn't appear to be working. The secondary monitor/card doesn't appear to be recognized. I seem to remember this working automagically in a previous version of Fedora. I have been spending the last couple days trying to get this to work with no luck. The hardware consists of two PCI NVidia cards with an Acer LCD monitor plugged into each card's VGA port. One monitor is 4:3 (primary) and the other is 16:9 (secondary). If I plug the non-working monitor into the working VGA port, it comes up. I just can't get both to show at the same time. My guess is the secondary graphic card isn't being recognized. I have installed the NVidia drivers and that had no effect - other than adding their program to my System > Administration menu.

Here's my info:

Code:

# uname -r
2.6.34.7-56.fc13.i686.PAE

Code:

# lspci | grep VGA
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72 [GeForce 7300 SE/7200 GS] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7300 GT] (rev a1)

[code]....

Ubuntu :: Hardware Sensors Monitor Not Detecting Hdd?

Jun 30, 2011

After several attempts, the Hardware Sensors Monitor cannot detect hdd. The following is what was done. I originally installed gnome sensor applet through ubuntu software center and without paying much attention I also proceeded not to have the hddtemp boot up. After adding to the panel the hardware sensors monitor, the hddtemp was not there so..ive proceeded to do the following in the terminal:

sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp
sudo chmod u+s /usr/sbin/hddtemp
sudo sensors-detect and yes to all
sudo modprobe..there were two chip drivers

when i did sudo hddtemp /dev/sda the temp is detected.I added back the applet to the panel but the sensor is still not there.

sudo dpkg -s hddtemp also returned the status that everything was installed. i rebooted i double checked in the synpatics manager if all the programs are installed. I have lm-sensors, hddtemp and sensors-applet. in the command line..i did dmesg removing and re-adding the applet to the panel proved futile and still cannot see hdd temps. Where did I go wrong?

Fedora :: No Longer Detecting CD

Aug 3, 2009

When I insert a cd into my optical drive, it is not showing up on my file menu. In Rhythmbox, I used to get an icon for the cd which I could click on to play the cd but that doesn't come up any more. I have my File Management Preferences set to ask me what to do when I insert a cd but it no longer asks me what to do. Banshee is the only thing left that shows a cd icon. How do I get my file management system and other programs to recognize a cd when inserted?

Fedora :: External Monitor Won't Work - Both Monitor And Laptop Screen Black

Aug 7, 2011

I am having problems getting my external monitor to work. When I plug in the monitor, both the laptop screen and the external monitor go black. When I unplug the monitor, the laptop screen works again.
When I startup with the external monitor plugged in, neither screen works or teh computer hangs or something.

I have had the external monitor going on a couple of occasions. I did manage to configure my monitors through System Settings > Display. I turned off the laptop monitor as I just want to use the external. But after rebooting, things didn't work.

I have a Thinkpad E420, Fedora 15

Fedora Hardware :: External Monitor Not Detected - Dell Laptop - Monitor

Aug 17, 2011

My software and hardware information are as follows. I have Fedora 12 and KDE 4.4.5 installed on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. I believe it's a 64 bit processor; it's an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The external monitor is a Dell as well.

My problem is that my system does not seem to be detecting an external monitor that I have connected. Everything else is working just fine; however, I would like to have the option of attaching an external monitor. When I plug the external monitor into the laptop, the external monitor remains black and appears to be in power save mode. The results of xrandr -q (with or without the external monitor attached: it doesn't appear to change) are as follows.

Code:

How can I get my laptop to recognize that the external monitor is even connected? Let me know if I can be more specific or provide additional details.

Fedora Hardware :: Fedora 14 Not Detecting Bluetooth Adapter

Mar 8, 2011

I have a Toshiba Tecra M5 that I dearly love; its operating system is Fedora 14 which I ALSO dearly love.I have been running Fedora on this Laptop since Fedora 10. And know it has Bluetooth; in fact, I know I've transfferred files from my laptop to my phone (and vice versa) before. However. It does not seem to work right now. When I go into the gnome-Bluetooth app, it just sits there ominously saying "No Bluetooth Adapters Present" I'd very much like to get bluetooth up and running, but I'm not sure what's wrong.

Fedora :: F14 Dual Monitor - Firefox Starts On Wrong Monitor

Jan 27, 2011

I just upgrade to F14 from F10 on a dual montor setup. Firefox behaives differently on F14 than on F10.
On F10 it followed the mouse pointer's location and show up on the correct monitor

When maximized at close, it is always displayed on the left monitor. When not maximized at close it will open on the monitor where the mouse pointer is located.

About minimize/maximize Firefoxe before closing and it seems to work in some case, but not for me.

Fedora Hardware :: 12 Not Detecting Printer?

Apr 1, 2010

I have Fedora 12 installed and fully updated. For some reason my printer is not detected by the system. The printer is an HP932C Deskjet connected via parallel port, vanilla stuff.

Other current distros (openSUSE, Ubuntu, Scientific Linux) are also installed and locate the printer with no problem.

Per the info listed on the "Common Fedora Bugs" page I installed the foomatic package. Also, ran yum update system-config-printer which reported this package was installed and up to date (system-config-printer-1.1.18-2.fc12 (i686)).

When I go to System -> Preferences -> Default Printer no printer is displayed in the window. Clicking on the Printer or Location buttons lists nothing.

how to get the printer detected/working?

Fedora :: Compiz Is Detecting The Outputs?

Jan 27, 2011

Since i upgraded to F14 I have been having an annoying problem with compiz: I have twinview and an nvidia 8800GTS. Windows like transmission and pidgin that i put on my second monitor and then hide, have their position reset to the center left side of the screen on the absolute border of the first monitor. this is probably a problem with how compiz is detecting the outputs.

EDIT: Any windows that have their position saved to the second screen will be reset to hug the center left side of the screen.

SOLVED: I manually set the outputs in compiz and the selected use largest output first in Place Windows plugin.

Red Hat / Fedora :: Detecting Symbolic Links ?

Oct 9, 2010

I have a linux server, and use symbolic links a fair amount. I'm also merging some of my php code
library to another location.

My question is, is there any way to get a list of symbolic links that point to a specific directory which I am going to be moving? that way I can manually go through them and re-point to the new location of the physical folder.

Fedora Installation :: F11 Not Detecting Storage Devices

Jun 14, 2009

I've been running F10 with a four disk RAID5 setup that has been working fine, however when I tried to do a fresh install of F11 I can't get past the "Select Country" and "Select Keyboard" screen of the GUI as a message will say "Detecting Storage Devices" and then throw up an error. I can't give you the full error, because when I click Save The Detecting Storage Devices box appears and I can not select anything under it or enter my Bugzilla account.However, when I plug just the hard drive that has XP on it then the installer continues swimmingly.I've backed up everything, so if I have to I could zero out the drives however they're all rather large so it'd take an inordinate amount of time.

Fedora :: Detecting USB Devices On Virtual Machine

May 21, 2010

I am running federa 12 and just recently installed virtual Machine Manager. I've created Virtual machine and installed Windows XP on it. Everything is running OK, as far as I can see. I've installed software to manage and download pictures from Cannon camera, but I am not able to make USB port available to this Virtual machine. I tried to add hardware in VM, but not sure if I should go for STORAGE option, or PHYSICAL HOST DEVICE. I tried second option, and selected USB device. Now I've got UB hub available, but still cannot see anything attached to it (camera in my case, or USB stick with pictures).

Fedora Hardware :: Rhythmbox Isn't Detecting MP3 Players?

May 18, 2011

I'm using rhythmbox as my music manager of choice... but it's not detecting one of my MP3 players. Admittedly its a relatively unknown brand name. It picks up my creative zen mp3 player without issues. Is there anything else I can do to make it a little more compatible? I already have the "portable players" boxes checked in the configuration menu.

Also, when I try to transfer a song to the creative player, I get an error that says, "PTP Layer error 2002: LIBMTP_Send_Representative_Sample(): could not send sample data."

Fedora Networking :: FC11 Not Auto Detecting Ethernet Interface

Jun 10, 2009

On FC10, when system boots up, it would auto detect (from DHCP) and configure eth0.

This does not happen on FC11, but I can manually configure the interface. The entries in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 are identical on both OS releases.

Don't know if this is related, but when I run System->Administration->Bootloader, it fails system-config-boot - missing module kudzu.

Apr 30, 2010

Getting very frustrated trying to install F12 to my work PC. Its a dell precision 670 with a 3ware 9550sxu raid controller running raid 5. Its consistently crashing at the point when it says 'finding storage devices' with a message about : Mismatched Sizes. What I could try? I had no problem on this machine with fedora 11, so whats changed? Just for info by the way, theres two raid volumes on this system a 750Gb that contains my windows vista installation in a 500 Gb partition (NTFS) and the free space I'm using for fedora. The second volume is a 2TB data volume with a single data partition (NTFS).
