Hardware :: Ubuntu On Old Machine Will Not Work With New Widescreen LCD During Boot
Mar 22, 2011
I have a bunch of old machines that a Client has asked us to convert into Citrix terminals. We installed Ubuntu 10 and Citrix Receiver on them, but about 5 of them are connected to new widescreen LCD's and they boot into console mode (older monitors are fine). If we unplug the cable during the boot process and then plug it in, the monitor works fine. It's only when it's auto-detected during boot that it will not load the GUI. I believe it's an old TNT64 chipset.

I am getting this error on the screen when the system boots up...
"The current input timing is not supported by the monitor display. change your input timing to 1920x1080@60Hz or any other monitor listed timing as per the monitor specifications"
This monitor is a Dell U2311H, it's default resolution is 1920*1080.
My motherboard is ASUS M4A785T-M with onboard display card ATI HD4200.
The first time I installed the whole desktop system but it can't enter the gdm and the monitor is black and above error message shown. At this moment, I even don't know how to go back to console. I press CTRL+ALT+DEL, nothing happened. So I have to reinstall the system.
So the second time I only install the base system. Then install X and gnome. Then type "startx". It happen again. But fortunately this time, when I press "ESC", I can go back to console.
I also tried ATI's driver, but it was also an error during installing their driver "ati-driver-installer-10-10-x86.x86_64.run".
I also tried modified the "xorg.conf". But still not working.

I have a really weird one. This may be a putty issue, or it may be a config issue in Ubuntu. I've no idea who to blame. I have four machines involved in my little issue that has me scratching my head on where to even BEGIN to diagnose what is going on. The computer I'm attempting to connect to (For identification purposes, I'll call it the main machine) is running a relatively new install of KUbuntu 10.04, stock install of openssh daemon. ufw is disabled, firewalls are off, etc, and I can prove that later.
The machine acting odd is a Win XP 32 bit running Putty. Haven't had a problem until this reload of the previously mentioned machine. A Work machine that is running RedHad of some flavour. A Virtual Machine running a headless setup of Ubunto 8.04. Now that the introductions are over, here is a quick map of the machines that can successfully connect with. My major problem is that I cannot get SSH (And ONLY SSH) to work between the XP machine and the main machine.
Work -> Main = Works
Work -> VM = Works
XP -> VM = Works
XP -> Main = Fails
XP -> VM -> Main = Works
Main -> Main = Works (IE: "ssh localhost")
VM -> Main = Works
When I try to get the XP machine to connect to the Main machine, I get an error with Putty saying:
"Server sent disconnect message
type 2(protocol error):
baad service request ssh-connection"
I've changed Putty to try using SSH Protocol 1 only, but it says the protocol isn't installed on the Main machine, which is true. I've tried setting just 1, and it gives me the error, and I've tried setting it to "2 only" and it again comes up with the error. I went into /var/log as root on the Main machine, and did a "tail -n0 -f *" and then tried to connect, but nothing relevant shows up.
As for the proof that the firewall is disabled, three of the machines are working with Synergy, I am able to swap between all three of the machines without a problem, I can get to WebAdmin from the XP machine to the Main machine, and I can open a Samba share from the XP machine to the Main machine without a problem. This sounds like a protocol issue, but I can't see anything in WebAdmin that'll put me in the right direction.

I have a roughly 3-year old PC that I put together from parts (listed below) that has been running great with various flavors of Linux as the sole operating system. It is currently running Ubuntu 10.4. A couple of months ago, it started to have intermittent problems booting. The machine will hang before it gets to the Ubuntu "boot" screen with the dots that show progress as the machine boots. If I look at the power on messages from the BIOS, it fails at different points in the process - sometimes during the memory test, sometimes during the search for IDE drives. It fails about 2 out of every 5 attempts to boot. It sometimes takes 2-3 tries at booting before it actually works. Sometimes when it does boot, the Ethernet jack doesn't work and I see errors in syslog about there not being a carrier.
There are no syslog entries when the machine does not boot.The machine is plugged into a UPS. The UPS indicates that it is running at 13% of capacity at 123V/60Hz. I'm in the US.Once the machine boots normally, it will stay up without issues for days.I've checked the 4GB of RAM (I added 2GB to the original 2GB several months ago) using the memory testing application on the System Rescue CD and no errors were found.I've replaced the motherboard battery, which seemed to help for a few weeks, but then the problem returned.I've checked the hard drive for errors using the SMART diagnostics tool in System -> Administration -> Disk Utility and buy running fsck.The interior of the case is not very dusty and all the fans appear to be working.Are there things I can do to investigate and fix this issue other than starting to replace components - starting with the motherboard and the power supply?The parts of the machine:
CPU INTEL|C2D E6850 3G 65N 4M R - Retail (Qty=1, Price=$279.99)
CASE ANTEC|P180B BLACK RT - Retail (Qty=1, Price=$114.99)
MB GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L P35+ICH9 - Retail (Qty=1, Price=$111.99)

I was upgrading our lab's dhcp server to Lucid and it totally died. I have it running on a Debian recovery cd right now. I ran into a bug in gtk which I seem to have fixed, but now I have more serious errors. If I boot without a CD, I get dumped into a busybox shell after the machine fails to boot. From the live CD, I tried dist-upgrading again and it dies trying to build and install rsyslog with a broken pipe error. I am at a loss as to what to do from here short of reinstalling (which is the last option as this server has a lot of custom configs on it)

I picked up a Soyo inc. (GOVideo) Model GVKL 3278 AB t.v. a while back.
Well I think my current monitor is starting to go so I thought wouldn't it be nice to have a 32" wide-screen?
Unfortunately I can not figure out how to make this work work. I am currently running Ubuntu 9.10. This, I can honestly say is the only thing I have found that windows works on and not my Linux
Oh on the back I also found
Power -110V - 240V AC
60Hz 180w

I was wondering, how much hassle would it be to setup a PXE boot so I can boot a machine from the network.

I'm currently experiencing some problems when plugging my linux box into a Widescreen monitor / HDTV (using the VGA slot). The problem is that it the driver only seems to support 640x480 and 800x600 resolutions on this Full HD TV / Monitor; however, when plugged into a standard monitor the 'xrandr -q' command shows a vast array of resolutions from 640x480 upto 1280x1024.
This is a pretty skinny install of Debian Lenny using just LXDE desktop and hardly anything else.
Can Linux support widescreen / HD resolutions and if so, how do I configure this install to work with my spanking HDTV using the VGA port?

Ive installed Lucid in my vaio. The vga is 4350 ATi.
The videos and games have two black stripes at the monitors edges this is due to Widescreen monitor.
At windows you can go at catalyst control center and in monitor configuration has the option for scaling so i can configured my vga to play the videos and the games at full screen with out any black gaps (right-left)

I am running linuxmint . Trying to configure my start-up resolutions using the Startup Manager. But they only offer 4:3 resolutions. (My screen is a widescreen, 1600 by 900). So I could check the 1600 x 1200 option but that is not the correct resolution. And I get a reminder from my screen that the resolution is wrong.

I have some experience using linux systems, but my recent Fedora 10 (x86_64) install is my first attempt at installing and maintaining my own. I installed it to a clean second hard drive in my computer (Vista and XP partitions were previously installed on the first drive).The install was a bit of a fight, anaconda seemed to dislike my graphics card (ATI HD2900) and I finally got this issue resolved by running the install with 'linux xdriver=vesa'. Once the install completed I had to run a repair install to get a functioning grub, and even that I had to manually fix during the boot process because grub mixed up the two hard drives.
In Fedora I cannot choose any widescreen resolutions. I think this is either related to my hacky install process or ATI driver incompatibilities. I followed the URL... guide to try to update the drivers and have run a full system update. Neither has resolved my problems, and now I am fresh out of ideas.
Is there some other driver update process I should try, or should I just reformat the drive and try again with crossed fingers and a clean Fedora install?As an infuriating side note, I helped a friend install from the same DVD after my install fearing he might have the same issues, but the installer seemed to do everything automatically (his install was also on a second drive with Vista on the first, but his video card is a newer model ATI card than mine).

Qemu works normally for me, but the available resolutions do not include a widescreen option. Is there a work around or a command line parameter I can add to enable widescreen resolutions?

I have a nice widescreen HPL2045w monitor. My system has an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 card and I'm using the NVIDIA driver for X (Linux AMD64) and it's GREAT ... except I have A HUGE PROBLEM when I try to use xrandr to rotate the screen over to the left!
(And that it the whole point of this monitor, since it's so wide... I want to have a "long" screen for viewing lots of text and stuff!)
Ok what happens is when I do "randr -o left" it rotates, but there's a huge chunk of the X desktop off to the right of the screen and I can't see it. Is there a way to resize it? Also, most of the time the desktop ends well before the bottom of the monitor. I can see the background image that I have on my xdm screen peeking through, so it MUST be possible to utilize the whole screen ... I found a few modes where I can get to the bottom of the screen, but ALWAYS no matter what about half of the desktop is lost and hidden to the right.
I have been trying to create a new mode with xrandr but this has not been working.
What do you do when you have a widescreen tilt monitor and want to rotate it and use the long vertical screen for your X session? Shouldn't the X session just resize everything to fit? Or can this be done? I don't need super resolution guys, I just need to get everything to fit in the screen... would love your help!
I'm using stable Debian (lenny), with all the latest X, xrandr, the nvidia package, etc. I'm not afraid to experiment but I'm coming up empty!

My old 19" LCD Samsung monitor has given up, I find it is very expensive to replace it with a new LCD monitor of the same size and geometry as most new monitors on the market are now "widescreen".
My question is: is there anything odd I should expect if I buy one of those (Samsung S20A300B) for word processing applications (no interest in graphics)?
At first glance, the wide screen seems to be a bonus as it displays more of the layout of (my) HTML pages but I need more crisp characters than good and nice colors.

Windows (XP and 7 at least) come with a RPD (remote desktop) software already installed.Can I connect to that somehow?I though that NOMACHINE was the answer, but I think that it requires an independent server app to be on the remote machine. I just want to be able to use the one already there if possible.
I CAN run my virtual XP box inside my Ubuntu, connect via work's VPN and then use its Remote desktop app, but I'd rather go though Ubuntu instead if possible.My machine is a Ubuntu 9.10 x64 box. Not sure what other information is you need, so feel free to ask.

Just bought this monitor and it doesnt have widescreen support like my old Dell one but the crystal display in it is leaking across the screen. Maybe its just too new or something. I have little experience in configuring Xorg.conf although I'm pretty adept in other areas of Linux. Running ubuntu 11.04 gnome not unity or gnome-shell. The resolution is 1920x1080 (16:9), 60 Hz. with the default recommended nvidia driver. Maybe ran into the same situation or knows how to configure X.

I have just installed Fedora 12 (64 bit), and I'm having troubles getting it working on my widescreen LCD TV. Before I installed the nvidia driver, it worked fine. After I installed the nvidia driver, it showed output on the screen until it gets to the logon screen (I never actually see the logon screen), where it goes black.
I'm assuming this is to do with my xorg.conf file, but I cant for the life of me work out what I need to change. I have been playing with all sorts of options, with no success.

i have a fairly outmoded system:
mb gigabyte ga--m57sli-s4
cpu athlon 3800
memory corsair ddr2 xms 2gb
graphics nvidia gforce 8500gt
hdd western digital 400gb sata
monitor hp lcd hp1740
the screen plays up sometimes. it gets a yellow line down one side. it's the office type 4:3 aspect monitor which seem to be getting rarer. if i switch to a widescreen 16:9 format, would i need a new graphics card?
i don't play games. but sometimes there'll be stuttering when i'm watching a videos video. whether this is the screen or something else i don't know.

When I do use Internet Explorer on a computer with widescreen (which is rare), it will automatically accomodate sites to the widescreen. I cannot get this behaviour from Firefox, however (version 3.5.13). Is there any way to get this behaviour going in Firefox?

cant I simply take a working ubuntu hard drive and dd copy it onto another disk. Then put the disk in the other pc and it will work?
This way I could configure a machine at home, take the disk with me and use it at a place with no internet access.

I got a Ubuntu machine running a local web server. It is connected to an archaic 10mbit hub, and I'd like a little bit faster network. I got a new 100/1000mbit switch connected to my router. I have 3 other PC's running off it, no problems at all. No configuration was necessary, and all existing cables worked fine.
Since the router and hub are located at the opposite end of the house, and the switch is in my PC room, I made up a new cable to connect it to my Ubuntu machine. It's just a straight-through cable, just like the other cables connecting the switch to other PC's. Okay so, when I plug the cable in to the machine I get no ethernet lights on either the machine nor the switch. But here's the kicker: I plug the cable into my laptop (running Windows 7), and it works perfectly. I restart the machine with the cable in, and get a green light. As soon as Ubuntu loads up, no lights, no connectivity. It shouldn't matter, but I'm running a static IP on the machine. I also have static IP's on the other PC's connected to the switch and nothing had to be changed.

I finally clicked on the upgrade to fedora core 11 notice.The upgrade seemed to go absolutely fine, but when I opened up a terminal, the aspect ratio of the text was all wrong. I tried "gnome falling blocks" - it looks awful.I have a 64 bit machine and a acer widescreen monitor. Fedora 10 was fine!

New subversion user here. I've run into a nasty problem. It seems that nautilus chokes any time it tries to display a directory containing .svn files. There seems to be some sort of timeout involved per object under version control. The larger the directory, the longer it takes to display. I'm talking minutes here for a fairly ordinary sized directory.
Now I know that nautilus is painfully slow even at the best of times, but this is just ridiculous. These delays are crippling. I have no problem with nautilus and svn files on my work machine, which has centos. So it looks to me like something is misconfigured somewhere. And it is something specific to .svn files.

When the machine name is used to ping itself it will resolve and the ping completes. When the machine name of other computers on the LAN are used they don't resolve. You have to put in the raw IP numbers (192.168.1.x). I have a router at 192.168.1.1 that seems to be configured fine. It uses the MAC address of one of the machines (cloned in) to keep the cable modem happy. Everything else works fine on the network, it's just that I can't use the names. The router sees those names, btw, and lists them as "attached devices".
