Installation :: Basic Process For Configuring Single Display?
Feb 4, 2010
I've read through tutorials on xrg.conf and xrandr but I have a hard time sorting it all out.I have two questions:You have installed a distro and you're looking at a desktop, but its off center on the monitor and its in low graphics mode, and possibly the wrong refresh rate. [ I've been in this situation with multiple distros, but lets use Ubuntu for the example.]1) How do you determine the actual current resolution?2) What are the steps -in order- to configure the (single) (desktop computer) display?

I am needing help with two things:
Does anyone have sample 'c' code for a browser basic function, get an address and display the contents? Want to learn bout how it's done.
Second, can anyone point me to the source for "webcam", a webcam capture program? I spent a day on the internet trying to find a home page or source listing.
Sorry if these are "dumbassed" questions, but I am new back to Linux. Been out of the Unix world since 1989.

I would like to run versions of Mozilla Firefox 3.6.5+ as a single process, just as it was in versions 3.6.3 and prior. The reason is that, on Linux, I am running within proxychains - which doesn't bind to forked processes. Because the plugins in versions 3.6.5+ run in a forked process I can't use proxychains to redirect Flash streams. Is there a setting in modern versions of Firefox that allow me to run plugins in the main process?

I'm experimenting with old linux Distributions again, and while trying tostart an x server, I get the following error message:X: unable to open display ''That makes me think that the config file is incomplete, but I would have no idea how to make it. If there is an auto configuration utility that I do not know about for X, it would be great to hear about. Here are some other specifications that might help:*Host: VMWare Workstation on Windows XP Home*Distribution: Debian 2.2 (potato) (Yes, I know it's old.)*Connection: Local. I've heard of people having difficulties like this on remote connections, but I am on the physical computer

In linux, how can I display memory usage of each process if i do a 'ps -ef'?I would like to the 'virtual memory', 'res memory', 'shared memory' of each progress. I can get that via 'top', but I want the same info in 'ps -ef ' so that I can pipe the output to 'grep {my process name}'.

I have to monitor the %MEM that processes are using, so I use the ps and sort command like this ....
ps -aux | sort -nk4
So this will sort by column 4 so I can see the all the processes that are using the highest %MEM. What I really want is to be able to just display the process name and the %MEM next to it. how to do this?

i want a process that can operate as both a TCP echo server and a UDP echo server. The process can provide service to many clients at the same time, but involves a single process that does not start up any other threads.

I using an old 1999 PC 512 MB RAM used to have W-2000. I had difficulties getting CD to be boot drive. I had to remove floppy drive to stop it from being the first drive. I'm using the Linux Starter Kit with Ubantu Live 9.10. My PC was having issues so I skipped the dual boot and went straight to a clean install. I had to double click on WUBI in the disk directory to get the install started. Install appeared to be going fine about 60%... then I got distracted to fix lunch for sick kid. When I came back screen was black and I could not wake up screen with mouse or keyboard. I turned off PC.. restarted and have message that says NO ROM BASIC System Halted.

I installed Mint 8 on my sister's laptop (after her existing Vista, and I did so on a separate partition created during the normal setup process in Gparted) and she now wants to try out another distro and take off Mint, so how would I go about this? Would I boot from the distro's live CD, determine the correct partition, (I'm thinking of Gparted here) and then... what?
- Would I have to mark the partition to be deleted, delete it, then ask it to install on a similar-sized partition?
- Or would I not delete it, just mark to format it as ext4 or some other file system and it would then just install the OS of that live CD over the existing partition?
- What about the swap partition - does that need any changes at all?
- Will Grub/Grub2 et al normally be updated to reflect the replaced OS?
- I may do this on my own desktop machine in the future: I may want to consolidate all my existing partitions into one easy to manage massive partition. Is this also easy to do?
- How can I determine which OSs are on which partitions?

From a friend I received a cdrom with Ubuntu 8.10 and recently I tried to install it on my laptop. The installation failed and moreover the volumetypes of the partitions, including the system partition, on my disc have been changed from "basic" to "dynamic" which is very annoying because now I cannot restore my backup. I have now spend a couple of days trying to restore my disc back to its original state but to no avail. Can anyone tell me how to change the volumetype of the systempartition (which cannot be deleted !!!) from "dynamic" back to "basic". My PC is a Dell Vostro 1720 with Windows 7.

Let me preface, assuming your wireless card works with gnome, doing an install from scratch, what packages do you need to get wireless working? So far I've installed gnome-core, menu, menu-xdg and gdm. network-manager and network-manager-gnome are both now installed, I can setup stuff in network connections, but can't see the nm-applet in the notification area, and it never seems to try to connect to my wireless network, do I need any specific other packages (wireless works fine if I install the entire ubuntu 10.04 live CD).

I've been playing around with various distributions including Arch Linux, openSuse, and Ubuntu with it's derivatives. So far, I feel that Ubuntu flows the best out of them all, offering the best mix of user-friendliness, eye-candy, and performance. HOWEVER, I really like doing things from the ground up and like having complete control over what I am using/spending resources on. OpenSuse was very attractive to me because of it's [URL]... which allows you to start with a basic system and add, manually, each and every package you want so you get exactly what you want. Does Ubuntu offer any system like this? Or, alternately, is there a "barebone" download in which you get basically a command line with networking and can apt-get all of the packages you want?

I updated Lucid yesterday, and when I restarted the user interface was changed to a more simple feeling display. This makes me think I'm stuck in a "basic" mode or something. I attached a screen shot, but to give you an idea ill describe some issues. For one thing the minimize buttons are now on the right. The volume control, which used to appear on the top right of the screen, is gone and my multimedia volume control buttons on my Inspiron 1420 no longer work. Furthermore, the command terminal is now white and the keyboard shortcuts for copy and past don't work.
Immediately after updating I also got an error message at login (which also appears different and gives options on bottom of screen like gnome Failsafe) which said something like "gnome default power management installed incorrectly...". I followed the advice of a forum thread that involved the purge command and that seemed to remedy that message.

If I were to have a situation where I had installed the driver for a printer but when I went into printing on the control panel to "add" the printer the driver didn't show up - could I or should I consider manually editing some configuration file to get the printer recognized/ installed on the machine? If that were a good solution, how would I do it? What file would I look for? What would I edit in it? I know that first sentence is probably hard to read but I don't know how else to say it.

configuring RAID, LVM and my physical volumes for a new 10.04 Server install (used mostly as a windows file server and print server). My hardware setup consists of 2 identical 500GB hard drives. My desired end state is:
An ext4 root partition (20 GB)
A swap partition (2GB)
A fat32 partition (450 GB) (to be accessed via Samba)
The above all to be on RAID1 across the 2 disks
The way I see it, the there are a number of possible ways to configure the above, and I am looking for some advice on the best (feasible) option: Create a single MD0 raid volume accross the entire two disks, and then create a single LVG across this, with 3 sepreate LVs, on for each partition above Create 2 physical volumes on each disk, create two raid volume on these (MD0, MD1), one for the LVG with two LVs for the Root and swap, a the other for the FAT32 partition (this seems like more work?) Other more suitable options?
