Now my desktop wont even boot up... I get stuck on a flashing input dash... or whatever, but cant type anything. It looks like this _ only flashing. How do I go about fixing this?
I have just recently installed Linux Lime along with windows 7 Home Premium. Before, there would be a menu asking me which operating system I would like to use. When I click linux it goes to linux and windows 7 goes to windows 7. Now when I click Linux, the black screen you get at the beginning shows a - (dash) constantly flashing on a black screen and won't boot to linux. This is normal as it does that for a second then boots. Now its stuck on that flashing dash on a black screen and won't boot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an old machine running Ubuntu 9.10 and XP.t is a P4 and Nvidia FX5200 card.Yesterday all of a sudden the screen started flashing black, the same type as when you install new graphics drivers and the resolution is changing. Only here it keeps happening over and over, the mouse isn't usable fully, the icons and menus are distorted, and I basically can't do anything.
I ended up reinstalling 9.10 and everything was working fine until I installed EnvyNG to get my nVidia drivers. It required a restart, and once I logged in the same thing started happening. So I said screw this, and installed 8.04. Yet even in 8.04, once I used EnvyNG to install the drivers, the same thing happened.A few other detailsP works fine, although one time a similar thing happened on XP (not as bad), and was fixed with a reboot.- This PC runs through a KVM switch, but I connected it directly and the same thing happens.I've found no help via Google. Sounds like a possible hardware problem, but it seems to work fine in XP and only acts up in Ubuntu once I install drivers.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIn my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive
I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);
In Fedora 14 I used to have some links to often used folders in the top panel, and now I would like to have some shortcuts in the Gnome 3 dash. I tried adding a custom launcher to the applications menu using alacarte, but it doesn't show up there. There is, however, an entry in alacarte-made.desktop. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Code:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

I have this crazy idea to map an em dash to AltGr+Dash, replacing the yen symbol currently produced by that key combination. Is there a way to do that?
Unless, of course, there is another way to produce an em dash with the US International keyboard? Not including OpenOffice's autocorrect feature.
when I try to enter an escape sequence in the interactive mode of dash, it keeps on spewing out the <ESC> character as ^[ displayed in plain text instead of catching it as a control character. I vaguely remember encountering this on some UNIX shell but for the life of me I can't find anything on it. So how do I properly enter escape sequences in dash's interactive mode? (it supposedly supports vi line edit mode but I can't access it at all because of the ESC situation)It's not a make-or-break thing.
View 2 Replies View Relatedim having some trouble with Md5sum, when i run
Code:
echo -n AlBgNb5Q5gic | md5sum
i get the hashed string with 3 white spaces and a dash, how do i remove the 3 whitespaces and dash? I need it to match with md5 over at mysql server but it fails, i'm guessing the problem is with the whitespaces and the dash
I have Ubuntu 11.04, upgraded from 10.10, and I'm logging into the default Ubuntu, Unity. In Dash, if I search for "firefox", I get three results:
Firefox Web Browser
Mozilla Firefox
Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)
Clicking Firefox Web Browser brings up Firefox just fine. But both Mozilla Firefoxes do nothing. I have a feeling that they're left over from Wine, but I'm not sure. The Uninstall Wine Software program doesn't show Firefox, but I may have uninstalled it through there a long time ago.
I want to remove these shortcuts from Dash. I tried checking the Main Menu program, but Mozilla Firefox isn't in there (though Firefox Web Browser is). I looked in /usr/share/menu/, and found a file called "firefox". That file specifies a title of "Firefox Browser", so I'm not sure if it even applies. The command it gives, "/usr/bin/firefox", is good, anyway. I don't see any other firefox related file there.
So, does anyone know how I remove those shortcuts from Dash?
why does md5sum return a dash at the end:
Code:
$ md5sum
string290350295 -
How can I remove this using the md5sum tags?
I have read about it, looked at screen shots of it but I don't think Unity runs on a virtual machine yet so I have not laid hands on it. Still it looks to me like a remake of the old Windows 3.x "program groups" concept (at least it was called something like that back before the fall of the Roman empire). Looks like a waste of space to me to have all the program and file icons in a box instead of tucked out of the way along a panel.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to 11.04 with pretty much no issues. But, I do have one: When I opened "Files and Folders" in Dash and clicked on a .jpg image, a GNOME-looking dialogue popped up asking me which program I wanted to use to displayed the image. So, I went to make sure that opening an image on my desktop had the correct results. It did, and opens in Eye of Gnome. I messed up and made a typo, and now when I try to click on ANY folder or file in Dash, it says that it can't find the program "E" (which was my mistake/typo/whatever/I didn't finish typing and had a twitch or something xD). I cannot figure out how to set Dash to open [x file] with [x program].
View 9 Replies View RelatedStarting today, I have a new problem with "Files & Folders". No matter what file I click on, I get the same error message. For example, "Could not display "/work/photos/2011/March_LA/DSC_1585.JPG" The location is not a folder." Of course it's not a folder, since it is obviously an image file. If I navigate to this same file via Nautilus and double-click, it is opened properly. Is there some way to reset everything Unity back to some sort of default state? The only thing I did recently was to uninstall Thorin (XFCE file manager) which I had previously said to use for folders selected in the Dash. By the way, actual folders now work fine (and come up in Nautilus), but it now thinks everything is a folder. It doesn't make any difference what kind of file (.JPG, .mp4, .gnumeric,...) always the same "not a folder" error.

View 10 Replies View RelatedI recently got a real fancy unidirectional microphone, but when I go and use it, something strange happens. The mic is a mono mic, but when I record something, it appears to think it's stereo. Instead of having the same thing on both channels, it puts it all in the left channel, and silence on the right channel.
I tried fiddling with alsamixer. In capture (F4), adjusting the "Capture" device has an effect. However, it doesn't do anything useful. Lowering the right channel to zero does nothing, lowering the left channel to zero creates silence, and disabling the right channel creates silence.
In my System>Preferences>Sound (or pavucontrol, or what-have-you), there are "Analog Stereo Input" and "Analog Stereo Duplex" options there, but no "Analog Mono Input" or "Analog Stereo Output + Analog Mono Input" options (the latter being ideal).
Something interesting, though, if I do this:
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 1 -vv -V mono /dev/null
it works correctly and outputs on both channels. But if I do
Code:
arecord -r 96000 -D pulse -c 2 -vv -V stereo /dev/null
then it's back to the same behavior. The VU meter on the second command shows the left channel going up and down as I make noise, but the right one always at zero.
The machine does have a crap internal mic built in to the screen bezel. If I do either of the above commands, they both work correctly. The stereo VU shows the same activity for both channels.
The machine is a Eee 1015PED, which has Intel integrated sound. Something probably insignificant is that the mic has a 1/4 inch mono plug, and to get it to plug into the Eee, I needed to get a 1/4 female to 1/8 male adapter. The mic's 1/4 plug is mono (duh) and therefore two-conductor, but the adapter I got is stereo, or three conductor (L, R, GND). I don't know if this is tripping something in hardware to tell it it's stereo or something.
I tried the mic on my desktop, which has a SB Audigy 4 (the non-pro flavor) and that has the "Analog Mono Input" function, so that works fine. Is there some way to turn this stereo input into mono input?
Some programs will take options like this:$ someprogram -orange apple
And other programs will use something like this:
$ otherprogram --orange apple
Is there a "rule" or convention for this in Linux/Unix/OSX?
I just installed Ubuntu on my cr-48 laptop and i wanted to map the Search button to open the Unity Dash. It was initally mapped to it, but when I tried to map some of the function keys to control volume and screen brightness it changed it when I imported the Cr-48 keyboard using keytouch.When I go into the System Settings> Keyboard Shortcuts I've tried to add a custom shortcut but I don't know what command to put into the prompt when I make it so that the Unity Dash will open. At the moment all the special keys (forward, backward, refresh, backlight, and volume) are working like i want them to, its just the search button i want to change.

I've read, the SCIM input program should start up automatically when loading a program, it doesn't. When I have it loaded I cannot seem to get the input working.
if i run /bin/dash at the command prompt I get the message /bin/dash: Bad substitution shown repeatedly until I kill the process
