Ubuntu :: Text Unreadable In Some Programs?
Feb 3, 2010I've recently installed the program Sparky for processing NMR data. When I start the program the text is unreadable. For example the top left pull-down should be labeled 'File' and instead I only see the two horizontal dashes in the 'F' and the right 2/3 of the 'e'. Yet the banners above the windows are completely normal. I have occasionally had similar problems with Matlab, but it's intermitant and less severe

General :: Screen Unreadable In Ubuntu 11.04
May 2, 2011Just upgraded from Maverick 10.10 to Natty 11.04 and went smoothly even with the new Unity desktop. But when restarted from shutdown, the screen was jumbled and was only just able to restart (the screen jumbled but could just make out the dialog boxes. Then logged in in safe mode. Ever since, have only been able to run in the 'old' Ubuntu without features mode. I have an oldish HP/Compaq nc6000 with 20Gig disk and 675Meg memory. How or what went wrong since it seemed to run fine just after the install.

Jun 4, 2010When I used slackware 13.0 I installed wine 1.1.40 and then I installed an old program, PowerTAB. The font for the mf, mp, and other symbols was very small and unreadable. To solve this I put sylfaen.ttf in /home/darksaurian/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts and this magically fixed the problem. I don't know why or how I figured it out. But now with Slack 13.1 I do the exact same thing, same version of wine, and the font trick does nothing. The mf, mp symbols remain unchanged and unreadable.

Sep 7, 2011Sometimes when I use aptitude to install or update packages I get an SSH screen such as the below that is mostly unreadable:
Package configuration:
When it happens it looks like there is a selection of options I cannot read, one of which is highlighted, for which I am expected to choose one of. In the above example "+ee-_c¦--e++" was the highlighted option in the list.
How is this fixed to be made readable every time?
When I invoke aptitude without any arguments the screen is readable and looks just like it should.
The SSH window is displayed by my local Windows XP. The remote OS is Debian 5.

Fedora :: Unreadable Characters In Evolution Mail?

Viewing some messages, the character apostrophe'is not displayed.Charset is "iso-8859-1" which is the default in my Evolution as well...

Checking the source of the message I can read at some place :

what is displayed without apostrophe as =92 is shown as a blank square (not printable character) On the other side I see the following source in same message :

what is displayed with the apostrophe: I don't know why the character apostrophe is sent as =92 This did not happen within FC 10 or the earlier Evolution
Ubuntu :: Unreadable WD MyBook Terrabyte Drive On 10.04 LTS?
May 8, 2010I've been using a WD MyBook terrabyte USB drive for several months with no problem. Several days ago, I used the "safely remove drive" option but then unplugged the cable before the removal process had finished.
Now when I plug the drive in, the WD SmartWave section of the drive will mount. This is additional software for Windows computers that came with the drive and that I don't use. The main drive itself, though, will not mount. The drive doesn't show up on the left side of a navigation window, either.
I can see the drive using Disk Utility. It is located at /dev/sbd. (a) mount this drive or (b) recover its data so I can format it? I'd much prefer (a), of course. Regarding my level of tech savvy: I've been using Ubuntu for a couple years, but I chose Ubuntu because it allows me to use Linux while still remaining relatively ignorant about things, which is my comfort zone.

Ubuntu :: Screen So Dim - Almost Unreadable On Boot Up / Proceed It?
Jun 18, 2010I Installed Ubuntu x64 10.04 on an Hp HDX 16 with Nvidia 9600m video card. I am having an issue that the screen is very dim and it gives one a headache to read it for long periods of time, especially in a bright room. I can adjust the contrast and brightness from the nvidia control panel but I can never get it just right it will either look washed out or just muddy. Everything was fine in Windows 7 a day or so ago. Is this a backlight issue?
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Ubuntu / Apple :: Unreadable - Eject It Gets Stuck
Jun 25, 2010i recently got a hold of a macbook 3.1, installed ubuntu 10.04 on it(Single boot). When i got the macbook the OSX that was installed on it had some serious issues, so without the OSX restore disk i had nothing so i hopped on my friends macbook pro and dled Ubuntu burnt it to a disk and installed it flawlessly on my macbook 3.1. During that installation i did remove the old OSX partitions completely and created a new one for ubuntu(the whole HD). later i was able to find a OSX Leopard backup on the interweb so on my pc i downloaded tit and burnt it to a dvd. When i try to boot from startup i just get a blinking cursor it stayed like that all while i took a 2 hour nap. Note that from within ubuntu i could see all the files on the disk so thats issue number one
Number 2 is that im trying to burn a dvd from a iso in ubuntu and when ever i insert a blank disk it says its unreadable and when i try to eject it it gets stuck. i have to hold the mouse button while it reboots in order to get it out. Whats causing this? how do i fix these issues. Eventually i want to startover and put mac osx on there (for steam) and ubuntu for primary use.

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Unreadable Files From Windows After Installation
Sep 19, 2010Our school introduced this OS called UBUNTU. I actually liked it, very much. They gave me an installation disk named Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Desktop Edition. So I asked somebody to install it for me. But there were some problems before he could even completely finish the installation. So I was the one ordered to complete the installation. There were 3 choices on the 3rd or 4th step of the installation process. By hit-and-miss, I choose the second one. The process went on safe and sound. It was alright for me to loose windows 7 loader but not the files and programs inside it. After the installation was done, I then started to explore.
I cant find my old files from windows 7. The whole disk was occupied by Ubuntu. My friend told me that Ubuntu will only occupy about 4G of the Disk only.My disk has a capacity of 250G. So if that's the case, then it should have left a free space of 246G. But when I took a check on my disk's availability, it showed that there is 210G of Memory Left. I was then wondering if that big memory are my old files from windows 7. Another thing is that those files are unreadable. I cant even see those files even if I "show hidden files". Can they still be recovered or not? I choose to reformat my whole drive.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 11.04 Server - Screen Becomes Unreadable After Login
Jul 6, 2011I've got a new installation of 11.04 server. Everything was apparently working just fine, and then the system hung. I rebooted, and everything looked good up to the login screen. After I typed my password, the screen started looking good, and then got all fuzzy and messed up (nothing was readable). The only way I could get anything back was to reboot. (I am able to work via ssh at the command line, though). As the graphics were fine before (using GDM), and since the GUI looks fine at the login screen, I know the system can do it.
I tried to find information on what might be going wrong, and haven't been able to find anything that fixes the issues. I thought there might besomething in my config, so I tried logging into another account on the system that doesn't have any user-level configuration, and got the same result (the machine's main purpose is to be a mail and file server). So it appears to me that something is happening to the graphics configuration after login when GDM loads. What I need to change?

View 1 Replies View RelatedGeneral :: Cat Made The Screen Permanently Unreadable
May 2, 2011Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0. I have a file named juan34. I was sure it was a plain text file so, instead of running first 'file juan34' I directly did 'cat juan34'. The result was everything echoed to the console are the ascii caracters greater than 127 decimal. In other words, the screen is unreadable.
I typed 'exit' but this did not remedy the situation. The login prompt was written with these strange chars. In another console I'm running a program which I estimate will terminate execution in 20 hours or more, so I do not want to reboot the machine.
When I worked in MS-DOS, I had (made) a program that reinitialized the 6845 CRT controller, fixing this problem (for this could also happen under that O.S.). But, if there is a solution for MS-DOS, all the more so there must be one under unix/linux.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 - Unreadable Video (Higher Resolutions)

When I boot into the failsafe the screen has a lot of gitter and the monitor tells me it's not in preferred mode of 1680x1050 at 60hz. All resolutions higher than 1280x1024 are unreadable. Tried booting nomodeset as I've read previous ... no luck. I'm still learning linux.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Dropped Laptop, Lost Unreadable Partion?
Jun 13, 2010I just dropped my laptop while it was on. It is a dual boot vista and Ubuntu machine (9.04) and Ubuntu was running at the time. The machine didn't go down and after I got done using it I shut it down normally. Now it will not come back up because grub is saying there is something wrong with the disk geometry. It did give me a command line, I forgot the exact error message but I can look it up if needed.
I tried plugging the hard drive into a different machine under a live cd but everything was in the lost and found folder (80 GB) and the folder was unreadable. I backed up the windows partition successfully using windows explorer and now have been looking at testdisk and Stellar Phoenix Linux Data Recovery ($80) for the Linux partition. I don't know if it is ext3 or ext4, I may have bumped it up to ext4 from the default ext3 during the install. Also a few files on the windows partition were unreadable, so the disk definitely has some physical damage. I'm getting a new one along with a back up system for sure after all this is over.
I got tired of figuring out testdisk so I let the paid app run its free test overnight to see if I could recovery anything before I bought it, but it got hung up on a sector halfway through.
Going forward I think I will try Photorec next and then testdisk again if that doesn't work. Does Photorec get almost all the normal office (doc xls), music (mp3) and video files (mp4) not just pictures?

View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Navigating Folders With Unreadable Characters In Terminal?
Nov 12, 2010I'm trying to get more acquainted with the terminal but have run into a problem. I have a flash drive that originally had a name that consisted of numbers and letters. After using the flash drive on Windows recently, I saw that its name had changed and now contains special characters (the name is now �NPM=:�N). It poses no problem when navigating through folders graphically, but because I usually have multiple external drives and the first character of the flash drive name is a special character, I have no idea how to 'cd' to the flash drive from the terminal. So the only solution I see is to either type these special characters in the terminal or somehow cycle through all the folders in /media with the keyboard.

View 6 Replies View RelatedUbuntu / Apple :: NTFS Formatted Unreadable Partition By Any OS
Jun 10, 2011My colleague needed a backup for some of his loose media, so I assured him I could back it up on our Lab's Lacie 2TB external. His windows partition was incredibly sluggish, so he booted into ubuntu 11.04 and we partitioned and formatted an NTFS volume for him to transfer his stuff to. The format went fine, space was available, and I left him to transfer all of his stuff from his dell studio1555. He finished and reformatted his computer completely.
The NTFS is not recognizable by any of the OS now. Ubuntu sees it as a single partition without any data, whereas before the transfer, the partition map was clearly visible. Windows does not recognize the drive at all. OS X does recognize the partition, but it shows up as an apple_scratch volume, which is quite a bit frightening, considering a scratch volume is essentially blank. To elaborate, all of the files were in his windows partition, and were transferred within a relatively fresh install of ubuntu (not much had been done on it). The partition was made in diskutility in ubuntu (the GUI), but the rest of the drive was HFS+ formatted.
