General :: Which Distro Would Be Best For Old Averatec Laptop

Jan 17, 2010

I have an Averatec Laptop, the screen was broken so we took it off an hooked it up to a small "E" flat monitor and it works fine. We run the Laptop as a desktop now. It has Windows XP service pack 3 on it and runs using a DLink wireless adapter. Our Averatec has a 1.39 GHz processor with 224 MB of Ram and 27.9 Gb of Hard drive.I burned an ISO CD of Puppy Linux and ran Puppy from the CD. It installed well but when I went to use an online game called Farmville the whole screen froze and I had to turn the computer off to get it going again.
Farmville worked on the computer when it ran XP could it be that Puppy Linux is not the right Distro for my computer or do I need a distro that has Java or flash applications on it and if so where or how can I do this?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.3 Breaks Samsung SCX 4300 Printing?

Mar 20, 2011

I already noticed that others had similar problems with other Samsung scanner / printers. I could not find any solution in any threads (other than going back to 11.2 or buying a printer from a different vendor), so I'll ask again here: I'm running openSuse 11.3 on a 64 bit system.

Here's some error log output from CUPS:

E [20/Mar/2011:15:22:35 +0100] [Job 62] Failed to load the PPM image

Ubuntu :: Kubuntu 10.10 Freezes On Averatec Laptops

Mar 31, 2011

I'm trying to build a system out of some old laptops for some relatives. I have two Averatec laptops a 3100 series and a 3200 series. Neither Ubuntu nor Kubuntu will install or run from the live cd without locking up solid.

Trying to install results in a complete freeze somewhere during the installation process. I've also tried the alternate cds to try and avoid a possible graphics driver problem. However, the problem doesn't seem to be X freezing. When I run the live cd instead of the install, the system freezes after a few minutes and is completely halted and must be hard rebooted. No keyboard combinations work including the alt+sysrq combinations.

I tried to get some output from the kernel log by running the live cd and then plugging in a flash drive. I then dump the contents into the flash drive (tail -f /var/log/kern.log > /media/USB DISK/kern.log). I got no error output, but maybe this is because it didn't have a chance to flush?

I've also tried locking the processor at a slower speed with no luck. These laptops do not have a processor with Cool 'n Quiet. I looked for powernowd as I found a recommendation to turn that off, but I didn't find it in the system.

It seems to be some kind of hardware incompatibility since it happens exactly the same on both laptops, but I am out of ideas.

Slackware :: Setting Up An Old Desktop (Dell Dimension 4300/512mb RAM/20g&80g Hdd) As A Media/file Server And Using 13 For It?

Jan 1, 2010

I'm thinking of setting up an old desktop (Dell Dimension 4300/512mb RAM/20g&80g hdd) as a media/file server and using Slackware 13 for it. I'm completely new to doing anything server-wise,it of background: I'm running current versions of Zenwalk and Vector on two different laptops, with the Zenwalk one multi-booting Vista and Ubuntu. The desktop in question is running XP and Zenwalk. I have DSL hooked up to a Linksys WRT (running dd-wrt firmware) for network. I'm not a noob, just not in my comfort zone. My goal is, in addition to setting up the server, to get more hands under the hood (so to speak) on improving my linux skills. It was a toss up between Slack and CentOS, and being very familiar with Slack-based systems, I'm going that route.

Fedora :: Laptop Display Is Put On The Left And All Other

Jan 8, 2010

I want to change the default behavior of my display hotkey combo (Fn+F7). I can do this in KDE, but in Gnome, the gnome-settings-daemon cycles through the options. Problem is, the option I want is not there. I want the laptop display on the right and the external display on the left. I know how to use xrandr to change this or to use System > Preferences > Display, but I want to use my hotkey combo. I see two ways to do this. Find the configuration file that selects the options that are cycled and manually edit it, or disable this hotkey combo for the gnome-settings-daemon and use my own script in /etc/acpi/actions, etc/acpi/events for the hotkey combo. Currently the gnome-settings-daemon intercepts the hotkey combo, so I can't use my own script. Anyone know anything about this, or do I need to file a bug report?

Ubuntu :: Laptop Has No Display After Upgrading?

Jan 10, 2011

I attempted to install ubuntu 10.10 (64x) on to my Dell Inspiron M5010. it booted to cd, and got to the main menu. i clicked install ubuntu, and it thought for a little while, then turned to a black screen and it had a cursor in the top left that blinked. it didnt do anything for a while. wouldn't let me type or anything.

my brother said it might have been the cd, so i made another one. same thing happened. i assumed ubuntu 10.10 (64x) didnt like my computer, and i gave up. until, i attempted to install an earlier version of ubuntu. I managed to get ubuntu 9.04 (64x) installed on to my Dell Inspiron M5010 with no problems. now here is where the problem lies...

i went to upgrade ubuntu 9.04 to the next avail (ubuntu 9.10) and the updates went smoothly. but when the upgrade was finished and the computer restarted, after booting the computer wouldnt show any display. but i could tell ubuntu was okay because even though i couldnt see, i logged onto my user name. so ubuntu works, it just doesnt have a display.

so i reinstalled 9.04 (64x) that way i would be able to get some insight on this situation, and maybe make some changes before i upgrade again. because ultimately i want to have Ubuntu 10.10 upgraded on here.

Ubuntu :: Invert Display On Laptop Screen?

Jan 3, 2010

I have a busted laptop, case that is. The internals are great. So I stripped the screen and built a large box. I used a cnc router to build a lid that would flush mount the screen, and have a lip of wood left to cover the metal edges of the screen.

Ok, what happened is that the measure twice cut once rule or one of its variants went into effect, and I put the hinge on the wrong side of the box. Normally I would say just flip the screen around, but one edge is wider than the other, so that will not do. I want have the hinge towards the couch so that I can tilt it up and be able to easily see the screen.

So I need a way to invert the screen, and I can't seem to find a way to do it. The coffee table is an Emachines N-10, and my video driver is the Nvidea one, because karmic told me my onboard card is not quite up to the task of the other one.

Debian Multimedia :: Using Xrandr To Toggle Laptop Display

Jun 3, 2015

Background: I am running Debian 8 with the Xfce DE on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop.

When at home I will connect my laptop to an external display. I did the same while I was running Ubuntu; however, with Ubuntu I could activate my laptop display by simply disconnecting the external monitor. With Debian + Xfce, unplugging the external monitor leaves my laptop screen blank.

In order to activate my laptop display, I have to open Display settings, turn on laptop display -- which still leaves my laptop screen blank -- and then switch resolution: there are two listings for 1366x768 under resolution, and only the second one restores my laptop display. Please note that if I have both displays on at the same time the size of the output on my external monitor will be reduced to about the size of my laptop's display.

I would like the create a Bash script which can automatically switch between my displays. After some Googling it seems like xrandr is the tool I need for the job. However, I have been having trouble getting it to work.

I tried the command Code: Select allxrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --primary --output HDMI1 --off. This however just turns my external display off without turning on my laptop's display. I suspect this has something to do with the fact that LVDS1 has two modes at 1366x768; perhaps only one of them can actually display? I'm not sure, but anyways here's the output of xrandr:

Code: Select allScreen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm
   1366x768      59.99*+
   1360x768      59.80    59.96 
   1024x768      60.00 
   800x600       60.32    56.25 

[Code] ....

Is there a way I can specify that xrandr should use the second 1366x768 mode?

I just realized that the second mode is, in fact, 1360x768 rather than 1366x768...

The good news is that I fixed my problem. It turns out that my backlight was not turning on, giving the appearance that my laptop screen was not displaying anything.

Fedora :: Make The 10 Display Span A Laptop And VGA Screen?

Jan 6, 2009

Based on much internet searching, I've found that I was/am not the only one struggling to get Fedora 10 to span the display across a laptop screen and an external monitor. So what I have here are instructions to do so:

1) Fedora 10 does not (by default) use an xorg.conf file to configure the display. So type the following command into the command line: yum install system-config-display

2) Go to the menu bar and navigate to System>Administration>Display. I left all the display settings as they were and hit OK (repeat this step twice to make an xorg.conf backup). This will generate the xorg.conf and back up files in the directory: /etc/X11/

3) Now we need to see what size virtual screen you need. Type the following command into the command line (without the quotes): "xrandr --output VGA --auto --right-of LVDS" It will tell you that you are asking for a certain size screen. Write those numbers down. I have a 1600x1200 external monitor so my number is 2624x1200 (1600+1024 x 1200).

4) Change directories to /etc/X11 and type (without the quotes): "sudo gedit xorg.conf" Scroll down to where the device section is. Mine looks like this:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "intel"
EndSection

Some videocards need to turn 3d acceleration off in order for dual screens to work. It is important that you turn off desktop effects if you turn off 3d acceleration!!! So under the driver line add the line (with quotes): Option "NoAccel" "true" Mine looks like this:

[Code]....

Scroll down to where the screen section is, and then find the display subsection. It should look something like this:

OpenSUSE Hardware :: Cloning Display Not Working On Laptop?

May 31, 2010

I am having trouble getting my Dell M6400 laptop display to be cloned with the Hyundai LCD display I have connected to my docking station.

I have an Nvidia Quadro FX 2700M graphics card and have installed the proprietary driver according to SDB:NVIDIA drivers - openSUSE. I have tried using sax2 (found out today it is depreciated so will stop that) and running nvidia-xconfig from both init 3 and init 5 followed by nvidia-settings to setup cloning mode.

When I run nvidia-settings, it doesn't detect the laptop display it seems. It says the max resolution is 640x480 even though the max is 1920x1200 and this does get used if I boot the laptop without a monitor attached.

Also, when I try and select cloning nvidia-settings crashes with a segmentation fault.

openSUSE 11.2.
Linux 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu :: No Laptop Screen After Connecting External Display

Jan 2, 2010

I have tried to connect my GMA500 based Acer 751 to an external dsiplay via VGA connection. I couldn't get the right resolution on the external screen (1920/1080) so I disconnected it and rebooted. Now there is only an "unknown" screen in the display menu. I have rewritten the xorg conf file per instructions for enabling GMA500 but to no avail - conf file looks right but screen is "unknown", low resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio, instead of 16:9. How to restore to laptop monitor - I think I can take from there to enable the right resolution.

Ubuntu :: Switch Between Laptop Display And External Monitor?

Mar 1, 2011

I am looking for a way to switch quickly and easily between my Laptop Display and my External Monitor, in Windows I had it configured so that when I plugged my Monitor in it would switch to that and when I removed it it would switch back to Laptop Display. From what I have tried it looks like this isn't possible with Linux, but I would like to get to the stage when I can click an icon to switch (or 1 to go to External and 1 to go to Laptop) My Laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series Graphics Card and I have so far noticed the following issues.

1. If I use the Gnome Monitors instead of ATI Catalist Control Centre it seams to cause some strange issues include confusing Linux on what the max screen res supported by my External Monitor is.

2. When I try and enable/Disable either Display or change Resolution, I am told that I have to reboot before the changes take affect.

Red Hat / Fedora :: 13 Does Not Recognize Laptop Display With Nvidia Installed

Jun 9, 2010

boots fine if an external monitor is plugged in, otherwise the laptop screen just flashes white till it dies and reboots. lsmod says nouveau is loaded, however it lets me rmmod it as though its not in use. rmmod on the nvidia mod says it is in use. nvidia settings can change the resolution of the external monitor

used yum to install and built from scratch, both have the same result. reason i want to get rid of nouveau is because it detects my laptop resolution as larger than it is and even if i lower the resolution it still stretches it further than the boundries of the screen. without the nvidia driver my laptop display is recognised correctly aside from size issues.

Enabling the nvidia driver / etc / rc.d / init.d / functions line 526 1484 Segmentation fault "$@"

Debian Hardware :: Changing Display Brightness Causes Laptop To Restart

Jul 15, 2015

Today I installed debian-8.1.0-amd64 on my older Samsung Laptop (Model r560). The installation without a desktop environment worked fine and the system booted without any problems into the virtual console. There was however one problem: when I was away from keyboard for some time, the screen turned black and when I came back and hit a button to wake the system up, the laptop immediately restarted. Later I installed the gnome desktop environment. This also worked fine.

But whenever I try to change the screen brightness in the gnome-shell, my system immediately restarts and successive attempts to boot debian fail. Some time later and after countless attempts to boot debian, it finally does boot again. By "debian fails to boot" i mean the following: The initial ram disk is loaded and fschk runs. Usually the system suddenly reboots at this point. SOmetimes, however, the video mode changes, the console font is changed and some services are getting started, but then at some point the system also restarts. I don't reach the point where a login prompt appears, or the graphical environment starts up.

Assuming, it has something to do with buggy acpi implementation of my hardware, I tried the following:

I tried to disable acpi completely by using the kernel parameter "acpi=off". This doesn't work and causes the kernel to hang

I tried to start debian without using a GUI using the single parameter. This also didn't work.

acpi_backlight=vendor also did not fix the problem.

Ubuntu :: Back To Karmic From Lucid Using Laptop With No Internal Display?

Laptop only has external display. When karmic boots 2.6.31-21 and initrd.img has finished loading, and I have taken quiet splash out of boot line, I get nothing on the external display until gnome come up. Does the kernel driver only recognise internal displays until X takes over, or is there something wrong with the karmic 855GM kernel driver?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: 10.10 Doesn't Display On Vaio Laptop's Screen

Oct 23, 2010

Recently I install ubuntu 10.10 on my Sony Vaio laptop. After the CD boot I always got a black screen, after a week i figured that there's nothing wrong, it's just the screen doesnt show up on my laptop's screen. So I use an external monitor and It showed up as normal.

But I need to have it show up on my laptop's screen. I tried to use "additional driver" to activate latest Nvidia driver but after that even my external monitor doesnt work too. Latest driver doesnt work properly i guess. I did try to install older driver version manually but after I turned of gdm, install driver and reboot, my ubuntu always starts with tty1 command terminal. tried ctrl+alt+7 but it stucked at (checking battery state), startx doesnt help me return to graphical screen too.

I got help from a moderator here but the best result so far is to edit my /etc/default/grub. Change

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
to
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="nomodeset"
Sudo update-grub

after the reboot I have it shows up on my laptop's screen. But it seems low-bit color,a bit grand to me(compared to external monitor, both w/o driver). Anw i checked system/preference>monitor . It showed up that my monitor:unknown. I can't choose other resolutions, refresh rate = 0.

I always know its my widescreen is the problem. I have had a lot of problems dealing wgames/application (on windows) can't work on 16:9 mode. install a stable Nvidia driver

Everything I tried in the past weeks is in here [URL] My laptop is SONY VAIO VPCCW19FX, Nvidia GeForce GT 230M, widescreen monitor

Ubuntu Multimedia :: NVIDIA Multiple Monitors With 16:10 Laptop Display And 16:9 HD TV

Dec 3, 2010

I'm using a NVIDIA 9600M GT on my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10. The laptop has a 16:10 display, I also connected my 16:9 LCD TV via HDMI. I would like to use them as clones. The problem is, as my TV has a different aspect ratio than my laptop display, the image does not fully fit on the TV. For example, when using a resolution of 1280x800 (16:10), one tenth of the width of that image is missing on my TV, as it has an aspect ratio of 16:9.

In Windows, the NVIDIA software stretches the image so that it appears a little distorted on my TV, but at least I see everything. Is it possible to do that in Ubuntu?
