Software :: Very Large Icons On Desk Top?
Jan 30, 2010
Has anyone had or run into a problem with Very large (2.75sq) Icons on the desktop at boot up that you pretty much can not do any thing with anything. It happened just after a update and then it restarted, which was weird cause I can't remember the last time Ubuntu had to restart after an update. Sad thing is I can't recall what the update was but I do know that It asked me for permission to restart Mozilla then the whole thing shut down for a reboot

I just did an install from opensuse 11.0 to 11.3 using the live web install. After the install, I found that the monitor always reverts to 87hz refresh rate and must be manually adjusted to 60hz. Also, there is no adjustment for the monitor resolution beyond 1024 x 768. I can not find the video card info in yast like it was before. Do I need to add the ati sources in yast? Will that give me a way to adjust the video card properties? Video card is the ati rage. Box is a dell optiplex pentium 3.

It is really clear that someone spent a whole lot of time figuring out how to show the desktops in an animation when you switch from one to another. Unfortunately, that person did not think about how annoying that might be when one needs to switch back and forth between a couple of desk tops. I am forced to hold my thought for several annoying seconds while this unhelpful animation shows me the desktop path I have taken. Even worse, it also often leaves holes in my windows that remain obscured until I change window content. Sometimes, it is simply too inconvenient or even nearly impossible to refresh the content. So I have to live with this hole in the window. I searched for "switch" in my desktop settings and I've googled for "switch desktop animation", but I'm not thinking of the keyword that the inventor thought of. I don't know how to turn it off.
Brief version: How do I turn off this misfeature?

I had remote desk running on a machine and I went downstairs the other day, turned it on, and someone was controlling the machine. Of course that's partially my fault since there was -zero- rd password set. However, my question is how did this person figure out my IP and get past the router to the machine? I don't have any forwarding setup. My router admin password is (has always been) strong. I guess my question now is: Is there anyway to restrict rd access to the local network?

I want to sync several directories between my laptop and desktop both at home and away from home. It seems like the tool to use for this is unison (I use rysnc for backups, but union seemed, better for this sort of thing - let me know if I'm wrong).
I found several posts that appear promising, however I was little confused about the details as I don't have much networking experience up to this point.

1) Is a reverse ssh connection the way to go? If I only wanted to do this on my home network I could just use ssh right, however in order to get around the router outside my home network the reverse ssh is necessary?
2) How do I handle changing IP address of my laptop?

I want to add service desk feature with my existing OpenNMS installation. For that I have already installed OTRS and SiT. But I gone through the OpenNMS wiki, and I can't find the OTRS plugins for the OpenNMS. The link provided in that site which is an SF link, also not working.

how big and widespaced the fonts on Clementine playlist are and how good they look on the appmenu (where my mouse pointer is). This is not because Clementine is QT4, I've got the same problem with Chrome, Opera etc. I've been messing with system-settings (KDE settings tool) a day before the fonts become that widespaced in order to make my KDE apps look more native on my GNOME, but I haven't touched the fonts settings there.

I already restored regular icons by going to gconf. However, the icons on top right where the "power" button is located, still have no icons. Is there any way to add icons to the hibernate/ shut down , etc words?

I recently installed virtual box on debian and after it had finished my terminal informed me that I could remove some "unnecessary" software by use of sudo apt-get autoremove. When I did this, some of the icons on the desktop changed and all of the icons in the drop down menu on the bar at the top of the screen also changed to ordinary folder symbols. The theme that I was using also went away. I restarted the computer and it booted back into a shell prompt with no GUI. I tried to get back to the GUI using alt+f7 but it didn't seem to exist

yesterday I upgraded my Fedora installation via preupgrade from 11 to 12.Now there are some icons missing! If I go to the 'System' menu in the panel, there are no icons at all.If then I select the 'Settings' submenu, all of its icons are visible.I figured out that the package redhat-menus and fedora-icon-theme make up the representation of this icons and reinstalled them. Then I additionally executed 'gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders-64 > /etc/gtk-2.0/x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf.loaders' (I read this somewhere in the forum).
But nothing happend so far?!
I made further efforts trying to find out the icon of the System Configuration Menu (Syst -> Administration). The file '/usr/share/desktop-directories/SystemConfig.directory' contains the icon that should be displayed for the System->Administration menu. This file contains the line: Icon=preferences-system Good so far.I thought that selecting the gnome icon theme would fix this problem, but this also didn't help!Now I'm at the end of my knowledge (or I don't want to rename single icons to match the names required)...

Down loaded the Ubuntu 10.4 ISO for this site when download was complete, got a screen telling me to insert a writable cd which I did. It went through a Format process and then asked me to drag the files to that directory. When I tried to do that I got a message saying that I was 138mb short of space. the Iso was 704mb and the cd had formatted to something over 500mb. the disk is a CD-RW rewritable cd.

I have only one OS ( Debian 'Squeeze' 6.0.1 ) installed on this system. I observe a time lag which gradually grows. I was asked to install ntpd to prevent this from happening in the future and I did install it which seemed to work for a few days but now I observe the lag again. Just to note, I notice it only when I hibernate my system.

I use Brasero/K3b but both of them showed that the ISO is too large (4.7GB) - while the DVD capacity of the disk I'm using is 4.3 or so GB (Princo). Then I figured I'd try to extract the files and burn them like that (extracted iso being 4.2 GB). So then I encountered another issue, usually one would find boot.catalog, which wasn't the case here. Any ideas on how I should burn my DVD ISO ?

Well I was looking into backing up my system and with some excellent help from remeeraz in another post just realized how big the filesytem for fedora was. On my system at least its showing 10GB of used space. Now im not sure if that includes the swap file aswell but as explained in another post I have the 210MB filesystem location and the the 320GB LVM2. From my limited understanding it seems the lvm2 location ecompasses the swap and the filesystem but does not explicitly show the swap location and in any event shows the full size of the drive.
once i have backed this core system up so I dont have to worry about ballzing it again how can i strip the installation to a more managable size like to fit on a DVD, im not talking about saving pictures or movies just the base install as thats all i have right now anyway.

Just have upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 13 and now fonts in KDE are too large, so my 1280x1024 desktop resolution seams like much lower. Such apps like Thunderbird, Firefox, Opera and others have their own font settings, but they affect only on text inside browser or e-mail. All menus, toolbars and other elements are big. Other apps which don't have own font settings have all fonts big. I tried to change font sizes in system fonts parameters, set all them to 10, but no any effect. It's especially inconvenient in Thunderbird, because it has big fonts not only in menus, but also in names of all folders and even in messages subjects. Only message text itself is customizable in its settings.

SuSE 11.2 = 2.6.31, ntpd 4.2.4p7. My offset and jitter are large compared to what I see on the internet. I have also been trying to use a GPS+PPS but that doesn't seem to matter one way or the other. They usually start out with offset and jitter in the single digits and drift / move to something like -400 and 80 over a couple of hours. I have tried various remedies under ntp.org like HZ=100, setting clocksource to tsc, hpet, or acpi_pm. I do not know what to do with acpi so i didn't test that. One of my systems has drift of < +-20 which is good. I have tried it on another identical system and also an 11.1 system. One of the systems is not behind my firewall. They do not run a firewall themselves or VM or pretty much anything as they are not being used.
I have used ntp.conf with/without 'prefer'. Here is a recent ntpq -p:

Is there something wrong with 11.1 and 11.2 ?
Here is the ntp as run from /etc/init.d/ntp start (also with yast):

Problem is with files greater than 4G onto dual layer or BD disks.mkisofs crashes. I believe the problem to be when this requires udf filesystem and disk does not get written to. As yesterday version is suse11.3 patched to date. k3b writes standard dvd disks ok. I am seeing a lot of searches saying this is because of cdrkit rather than cdrtools, can I replace this easily? Is this the case? Tried setting the k3b options when burning to udf same error. Other searches show k3b has fixed probs with these issues, so appears to point to underlying mkisofs stuff full error log in yesterdays post if it helps. I will also try on ubuntu to see if it works there

I am trying to use a large LCD TV as a monitor for movies, etc. I have the user set up and working. But, I'm struggling with GDM. I rather miss the days where a few cryptic settings in XORG.conf file made everything work correctly.
I added some lines to /etc/gdm/Init/Default and /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default. In both cases I added:
xrandr -newmode "1360x768_60.00"
xrandr -addmode VGA1 "1360x768_60.00"
xrander -output VGA1 "1360x768_60.00"
The next line is original and is
/sbin/initctl -q emit login . . . . . .
I'm not sure if I'm not adding the xrandr info to the right files/locations or if my xrandr stuff is wrong. For the user, I just logged in via VNC and changed the resolution. That part was easy.
