Software :: Desktop Display Not Working After Installing Qt4, Mandriva 2009?
Jan 29, 2010
I wanted to installed Skype on Mandriva 2009 x64, but qt4 was a pre requisite so I installed it first (from the control panel). I still got an error when trying to install Skype (downloaded rpm), so I tried to reboot. However, now I just get a black screen instead of a login prompt. I have had a lot of issues with X11, but I usually get at least a prompt, I don't even get that now. Just a black screen... If I hit ctrl+alt+F2 I can log in as root, and I tried to start x, but I get a message saying there is a problem with D-sub.

I've been trying to get familiar with this over the past 24 hours or so. I assume I've been somewhat successful in what I'm attempting to do, as I can work my way around a bit now and use some terminal commands. However, there is this display problem I seem to be encountering with certain windows which is extremely putting off. When I click options like 'File' or 'Edit' in a window, this is what I get. Here are the screenshots below.
This is what I get when I click the 'Volume' button in the Panel at the bottom of the screen. I have tried changing the Desktop Appearance Settings, Theme Settings but nothing seems to work. Although this is not a performance issue, it is hampering my vision of the various available options, and I would like to resolve it at once.

I have a completely new desktop and I have installed Ubuntu on it. That happened yesterday, today morning there is no internet connection on my desktop. I don't know what happened.
Anyway after all I have decided to put Mandriva over Ubuntu - that was the original plan - but now I am facing problems with installing Mandriva.
1st. The oriiginal cd drive is not recognised by Ubuntu Therefore I am using an old drive which at least is working.
2nd I cannot run Mandriva dvd.
My questions:
How can I delete Ubuntu and replace it with Mandriva? If this is too difficult, I would switch back to Windows 7. At least in Windows I have a bit of experience. The windows 7 dvd it cannot be run also.

I have been using Mandriva2010.1 on my laptop and I love it !
But today (just for fun), I removed the laptop harddrive and connect to my desktop via sata1 (so it will boot up the same "sda1").
It boots up.. i even see the STARTING UDEV..
but it bring me to ..
Code:
INIT: going to single user
sh-4.0#
I typed "startx" and it booted up to Mandriva desktop.. but keyboard and mouse doesn't work ! Maybe because it was looking for the laptop touchpad / keyboard.
Is there a way , while its BOOTING UP, to interrupt the bootup process and make it detect new hardware ?

I successfully Installed nvidia graphics driver version 173.14.12 for Geforce FX5200 on Mandriva 2008 (It couldn't find a precompiled header, so built the driver against devel) .
It worked OK, everything became faster(than not having a driver) and OpenGL games were acceptable too.
Then I enabled 3D desktop effects (to it's medium level), it said it should log off, it did and restarted X server and then (autologin) Gnome didn't come. It's the screen in loading desktop, and cursor shows "working in background"(busy but shows the cursor itself too).
I'm not very interested in 3D effects, I just wanted to see how it is, now I want to know how to get it back.
I tried to go through Alt+Ctrl+F1 and close the program supposed to do 3D effects, or restart to runlevel 3 and change XF86Config but nothing seemed relative to 3D effects.

have very limited experience with command line interfaces in Mac OSX (the OS that I'm used to). Please pitch any replies at the appropriate level My problem:I've installed Mandriva Spring 2010 Free in a Parallels Desktop 5 VM running inside Mac OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard).Parallels has a set of tools that I need to install to make the VM play nicely with my host OS. It is here that I'm running into problems. When trying to install Parallels Tools I get a warning that 'Some components needed for parallels tools installation are missing in your system;. I'm offered the chance to download them automatically. This download always fails and I'm told that I need to download 'kernel sources' manually and try again.
After some considerable research (remember I'm TOTALLY new to Linux) I found out what this means and have installed what I believe are the correct files using the 'install and remove software' window. As I understand it, I need to download the source files of the kernel I am using (exactly the same version), so I now have:kernel-desktop-latest - Version 2.6.33.5ernel-source-latest - Version 2.6.33.5These are 'virtual rpm's that make sure i always have the latest kernel versions, which as I understand it means that I should have the latest kernel and corresponding kernels sources... but I still get the damn error message telling me to install 'kernel sources' when I try to run the parallels tools installer.

I have just migrated from windows to linux(Mandriva one 2010 with KDE4) and am a noob to linux.I Had never used Linux before. while everything is going on fine and am learning about it slowly. My problem is that though I am getting sound from my rear audio jack which is working perfectly, my front audio jack is not working at all. I am not getting any sound from it.... When in windows to disable front audio panel detection to get it warking. So I think there might be a similar workaround here... but that's just a guess. i am using a Gigabyte- GA31 MES2L motherboard which uses Realtek Audio Drivers.

So I just installed Mandriva and was trying to install alien so I don't have to deal with source anymore. This happened, tried other sources and the same error. Maybe I'm overlooking something simple, but this is killing me.
so, First I wget (url for alien). It finishes.
Then, I start the installation
Code:
me@localhost ~]$ tar xvzf alien_8.1.1.tar.gz
me@localhost ~]$ cd alien
that takes me to where it should. then
[Code]....
Am I doing something wrong with this? Why is the ./configure not recognized?

I'm working on getting my myth box hooked up to my Sony flat panel display.Originally the nvidia drivers could not read the EID, so defaulted to only 640x480 over my HDMI-DVI connection.I manually updated xorg.conf with a mode for the resolution I know the thing can handle. Suddenly there are several resolutions avaialble in nvidia-settings and it seems to be communicating with the TV, as it is now listed as a Sony FP display rather than a CRT.I'm able to change the resolution now as expected.my problem, however, lies with the TV itself. I can't seem to get it to actually display the output. I'm able to remote desktop into the box and can see Gnome logged in and everything.However nothing on the TV itself.How do I troubleshoot this? Am I missing something obvious?

How do I get it to display a different desktop background for each desktop? I'm sure I saw this option somewhere, but I can't find it again.
Secondly, it defaults with 4 desktops in a 2X2 grid layout. I changed it to 2, then back to 4 and now it has 4 desktops in a linear layout (1x4). How can I change it back to 2X2?

My computer boots up but just as its about to load debian I lose video output. Where do I start with troubleshooting this?
Also there was an option to install debain as "graphical installation" or just "installation". I chose just "installation", whats the difference? I dont know if that has anything to do with why i cant get output.

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell m65 mobile precision laptop w/ nNvidia card.
I booted up my system. Login screen appears. I login. I can hear the login sounds. I can hear my notifications telling me I have email. My mouse works. My keyboard works. But I don't see my desktop. All that's in front of me is the background that I had at login time. I don't see the panels nor the desktop icons. I don't see the interactive grouping/stretchy rectangle thingy when clicking and dragging on the desktop.
I've never experienced this before. I never had a problem w/ this before. I had always been running in hi-res mode.
I did update my system earlier this morning and it wasn't until this afternoon I had to reboot it.
These are the things I've tried, none of which worked.
1) Downgraded my nVidia driver version
2) Changed the xorg.conf to a generic version with basic resolution (I had been running 1900x1200)
3) Tried restarting nautilus. I did this from the command prompt. I just get "Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon.
4) Tried an older kernel
5) Turned off compiz
These are the things I've tried and they do work
1) Boot to recovery menu. Run in failsafeX mode. I can see my desktop but everything is huge.
2) Run Desktop Edition (Safe Mode). I can see my desktop but everything is huge. I also notice that my desktop icons had been moved around. I think I was doing this when I couldn't see them!!
3) When in Safe Mode, I can configure my nVidia settings to be hi-res. But I can't these settings to stick when booting to normal mode.

My problem is about 10% of my desktop is off screen. So I cant see my task bars but they are there. If i move my mouse pointer all the way up and off screen and click, the menu will drop down into view but I can't see the task bars. The desktop displays bigger than what the screen is. Adjusting the resolution just makes the icons bigger but does not fix the problem. Is this a video card incapatablity maybe? Running ati x1650 pro. I am also using Hdtvs for monitors. Tried sony bravia 32 inch and hitachi plazma 42 inch. Svideo and dve to hdmi cables. both tvs and cables have the same problem.

I'm using ubuntu (and compiz, though I'm not sure it's relevant) and I've been wondering something : how to display the desktop, as you would in windows using windows key+D ? In system-> preferences-> keyboard shortcuts there's an action called "hide all normal windows and set focus to the desktop". What does "normal windows" mean ?
When I press this shortcut (which seems to have the same effect as if you press the bottom left corner), the desktop is displayed, but there are some small squares in the corners that seem to be pieces of windows. What are these exactly, and if they're not useful, how can I make them disappear? Plus, if I press this shortcut twice, all windows disappear from the bottom panel (I don't know the proper name).

I'm a comp systems engineering student who's been running ubuntu on one of my machines for about a year and can do basic command line stuff but I'm stumped.I tried to hook a 2nd monitor up and ubuntu said it needed to install a pkg so I let it and then it said to re log in, I did. It now comes up acting like a terminal instead of a gui. I rebooted a bunch of times loading the old system snapshots (pressing esc during boot) and got kernel 2.6.28-15-generic to boot with normally which was great.But the only mouse that worked was the little button one in the middle of the keyboard and there was no sound and a couple of other funny things. Being more used to windows still I figured I'd reboot it from the same kernel and see if that fixed it. Now all of my kernel images act like the 2.6.31-19-generic one and only boot command line.I spent about 6 hours trying every command I could find in the man and help pages and consistently got three errors:1:failed to load apparmor2: Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic- ... with about 30 different endings followed byTemporary failure resolving ' *.ubuntu.com'3: RuntimeError: could not open display

I have downloaded a command line version of Ubuntu so I can install everything I want almost from scratch. Problem is, when I install an x display manager it wont let me login. It just flashes for a second with a cross, then returns back to the login screen...stuck in a loop."sudo startx" works but not "startx". I have tried lxdm and xdm.

I have a karmic server and a separate karmic desktop (laptop). I want to run a few gui applications from the server to my desktop so they will be centralized. I can successfully ssh to my server from the laptop, but getting the gui stuff launched from the server to display on my laptop is where I am hitting a wall. I did:
$ ssh -Y knipknup@192.168.1.3
enter password
and I get:
/usr/bin/X11/xauth: error in locking authority file /home/knipknup/.Xauthority
I also did :
$ sudo chmod -v 777 /home/knipknup/.Xauthority
and that results in the same message.
