Samsung 2494HM display
The captioned display support 90 deg rotation. Which software do I need to install? Tried editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf as;
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "radeon"
Option "Rotate" "90"
Restart X and rotate the display 90 deg. It doesn't work.
In GIMP, can I rotate an image by only a few degrees? It's a scanned image of a crooked xerox copy, and I want to straighten it. I see options only for rotating by 90 or 180 degrees.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have been using Debian 8 with XFCE for the past 9 months.
Recently I had a simple job of going through a bunch of receipts (several hundred) and rotating them so that they were all portrait. Easy you may say? Linux fails dramatically.
My only requirements are a visual tool where I can see the image and then a button or even better a keyboard shortcut so I can rotate clockwise/anti-clockwise and move onto the next.
Here are my attempts at this:
ATTEMPT 01 - GIMP
GIMP works but you have to load it up everytime, and the save as feature tries to push XCF format onto you. I just want to overwrite it.
ATTEMPT 02 - GTHUMB
GThumb works as well, but its horribly slow, pops up an annoying image distortion prompt everytime you do it, and it moves the image you've just rotated to the end of the filmstrip and takes you there with it. Unworkable in reality.
ATTEMPT 03 - Nautilus
Nautilus simply fails altogether with a GTK error in the background.
ATTEMPT 04 - Ristretto
This is the default viewer with Debian 8 and it works. Or so I thought. When you rotate in Ristretto it just rotates it within the software and doesn't persist it within the image. So I went off and did 50 of them, thought I had and when I went to view them in other software they were still landscape. Incredibly frustrating.
ATTEMPT 05 - Windows 7 - Standard Image Viewer
This just works. I click one button, rotate left/right and then click next and it's saved. Ristretto could do this if it actually persisted the changes but it doesn't. So I find myself doing this job in a Windows 7 Virtual Machine because Linux just simply doesn't provide a working tool for me.
Any software that does the above simple task well in Linux?

Does anybody know of logrotate creates an error log somewhere by default?

From what I understand, it is possible to do via editing xorg.config. As my screen is currently rotated to portrait I want the graphics tablet to rotate accordingly. I am novice with coding, so please keep it simple.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to set up tcpdump to rotate log file every 1 hour and retain files for the lat 14 days but I don't think any combination of -C and -W would allow me to do that (Atleast I haven't been able to figure it out), so I am trying to rotate the files every X number of MB and retain the last 20 files. This seems to be fairly simple with the '-C X -W 20' option but I am having some trouble in customizing the names of the log files. I have tried '-w capture-$(date +%Y-%M-%d-%H:%M-)' thinking that each file would start with the current date and time but all files are using the date and time when the capture was started so the only difference is the number at the end (which is done by -W). if I can customize the names of the file so that it has the date and time when the capture in started. In fact if I can do that, I dont need the numbers that '-W' appends at the end but I dont know how to get rid of them.

I've installed squid 2.7 stable9 in centos 5.4 x32 bit. I've installed and configured it successfully, its working fine. I want to clear few doubts, for that your kind help is needed. Parallely, I've configured another server using binary rpms with same squid version (2.7 stable9). I found that it creates a /etc/logrotate.d/squid for rotating log files (access.log, cache.log, store.log). Which is properly rotating log files using compress, dateext and size options (i manually added the size option).
But after compiling and installing from source code, its automatically not created. I want to rotate the log files in the same way as it is doing when i install using binary rpms. Below logfile_rotate entry is present in my squid.conf file (in source code installation scenario) logfile_rotate 10 Below logfile_rotate entry is present in my squid.conf file which is commented (in binary rpm installation scenario) #logfile_rotate 10 I want to rotate the log files by size (as I've more than 200 users, these logfiles size increasing very fast, ie. approx 80 MB per hour), with compress and dateext option.
I've done a new 10.04 installation and downloaded CCSM but I can't find the option to turn the rotating cube (all options present and correct) into a rotating sphere.Have I just forgotten to download some additional plugins or similar?

My tomcat generate several application logs with date extension as well as .log extension.For eg app.log,app.log.2010-10-23-14,catalina.out,catalina.2010-10-25.log etc.
Currently my tomcat logrotation /etc/logrote.d/
#cat /etc/logroate.d/tomcat/
/usr/local/tomcat/logs/*log {

But its rotating logs only with .log extension..ie app.log.2010-10-23-14 (with date extension) is not rotating.If i put "*" instead of "*log",its rotating all files including rotated files. How can i rotate files which is having date extension.Also i dont want to keep rotated logs for more than 3 days.

I'm trying to rotate a whole pdf file 180 degrees usingCode:convert original.pdf -rotate 180 final.pdfBut the resolution of final.pdf is quite bad, not like original.pdf's.Is there a way to mantain the original resolution, or another tool that can do that? I use Slackware 13.0.
View 7 Replies View Relatedwriting a script that would keep the last three versions of tcpdump files.Due to the version of tcpdump I must use -C and cannot use -G. Using -C generates a new file after X MB's have been written and adds a .x after each new one. The problem is that these files are filling up the disk too quickly. The main part of the script will kill tcpdump when a certain condition is met but in the meantime I need to purge and only keep say the three last iterations of the dump file. So for example, there is dump.pcap.1, dump.pcap.2, dump.pcap.3, dump.pcap.4 and dump.pcap.5. I'd like the script to look at the datestamps and delete dump.pcap.1 and dump.pcap2 since the other three are the three newest files. comparing files based on dump.pcap.*, check the dates and only keep the three 'youngest' files?
View 5 Replies View RelatedOS CentOS 5.4 I have a DNS server that is logging all named and dns requests to the chrooted named directory. By default named logs to /var/log/messages but I want to isolate all the dns queries and requests to separate files. I know I can add entries to /etc/syslog.conf to "roll" the logs and logrotate should pick them up but fuzzy as to the syntax. I don't know what "tag" to use in the first fieild. for example
# Log anything (except mail) of level info or higher.
# Don't log private authentication messages!
*.info;mail.none;authpriv.none;cron.none/var/log/messages

I'm having a problem with my screen in opensuse 11.4.Everything is ok until the login screen. After the login, when kde starts, the screen gets inverted, rotating 180 grades. The system performance is very slow when this happens. I tried to disable the KMS to use the default system driver, what worked. But with this option, I don't have the performance and resolution available with KMS.
View 6 Replies View RelatedJust tested the new Maverick rc on this computer. Few issues that I had where.Screen was blank (turns out that the screen brightness is set to 0...), that was easily fixed with fn + f3. It seems that this only happened with the first few boots Wireless doesn't seem to work. Will investigate more in a little Works now with the broadcom propriety drivers Fan seemed to be off or rotating very slowly with the result that the computer started to heat up very fast and started to burn my lap and there started to be graphical issues on the screen. Luckily after turning the computer off and cooling it for a little while things returned to normal. I just wonder what might have happened if I hadn't turn off... (overheating was noticeable after about 3min and turned the computer off in about 5min).
It seems that ubuntu is not able to adjust the fan speed! Resulting in system overheating. So if I boot with hot computer, the fan speeds up at the boot and I'm able to use ubuntu. But if I have "fan always on" option off in bios and boot with cold computer that spells big trouble! Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?
After installing ATI propriety drivers. Wasn't able to startx until deleted xorg.conf from /etc/X11/. One thing that noticed was that after this fan speed is now changing correctly! After deleting xorg.conf lost the right mouse button.

After a motherboard change in my pc, I would like to dualboot Slackware 13 with WinXP. In the old system, (dualboot Win2K-XP), I had "My Documents " on a separate disk, as it was used by both OS's. In the new system, I would again like to share this between the 2 operating systems. (both clean install) --> Is it possible to use the existing NTFS disk as the /home in Slackware?
For the Linux side, I am planning 4 partitions on 3 separate HD's:
I am completly new to Linux and managed to download slackware 13.1 iso and burn it to disk 1 and 2.I installed disk 1 and set the laptop up fine but it could not find disk 2. I can burn again but do i need to burn in a certain format or as an iso? also i do not know how to get linux to read a cd or mount it?

View 11 Replies View RelatedWith the continued growth of SATA devices, I have really been having problems with my boot loader. In the old days, it was pretty easy to make sure that the IDE devices stayed put. However, now everything is an sd device. Specifying a root directory of /dev/sda1 in lilo is no longer a sure thing. If you have a USB device plugged in or an ESATA device, your sd devices are no longer guaranteed to stay put.In reading through the lilo documentation, it appears that you can specify root devices by UUID or even by LABEL.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've got a fresh Slackware 13 install in a sata disk. I am trying to backup data from another sata disk which has Ubuntu 9.04 (or 9.10, not quite sure). Lilo starts, boots ok but for some strange reason it finishes trying to start gnome from Ubuntu, it even says that the "nvidia card is going to run with low config" and freezes there. Fstab in Slackware is set with UUID values, bios and everything points to this disk, even inittab is set with runlevel 3... Why is this happening?? Any idea? Why Slackware mounts the second disk as root and grabs its fstab?

As you can see, the first command gives numbers like C841-0655. But for the optical disks (iso9660) it gives them not. Neither does the second one. This number is known as 'Volume serial number' in MS-DOS, and is printed on console with the command 'dir' not only for the HDD partitions but for the optical disks too. how to get an optical disk Volume serial number? Notice that this number is inherent to the media (is a property of the media, under any O.S.).
