Ubuntu :: Desktop Rendered Upside Down (Radeon HD 3200)?
May 9, 2011When the desktop effects are turned on by default, my desktop is rendered upside down, although the task bar stays at the bottom, even though the favorites bar got cropped off by the panel. Here, I'll demonstrate:Desktop is now rendered properly without desktop effects enabled, as a workaround. Removing .kde or renaming .kde to .kdebackup will not fix the problem. Same as for .config.
Code:

Nov 12, 2010I'm currently building a ubuntu distro and would like to run a script on GNOME startup. I've read about doing it through the session manager but I have to do it through chroot so I'll need to set it up as a terminal command. Is there a way to add an item to the Session Manager from terminal or, even better, a directory where I can put the script so it will run on start?

Aug 12, 2011is it would be possible create a Ubuntu dvd that contains the ubuntu server desktop and alternate install opptions, as well as all four main desktop environments (gnome, kde, xfce, lxde) and unity. since much of the data is redundant between each version cd's it would probably all fit on one disk. then all that would be needed is two disks one for 32 bit and another for 64 bit. i really think that this could work.

Software :: .avi File Plays Reversed And Upside Down?
May 13, 2010I have an .avi file that is a clip from a security camera recording of an incident. I am trying to edit the video with an editor and I have an issue in just playing the video. When playing the video it opens and plays just fine but reversed and upside down. I don't see any settings in any of the players I have tried (VLC, etc.) to correct this. It plays fine from the Windows computer at work. I believe there may be some special codecs related to this particular security camera software. Does anyone know how I might deal with this to correct it?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Upside Down Video And Skype With Cairo Dock On Asus K52J?
Feb 13, 2011I just bought an Asus K52J a couple of days. I of course got down right away to installing Ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine except for a couple of problems with Skype.
In the past I already had the problem with Skype video not working while Cairo dock was running. I found a solution which consisted in changing the command line and making a custom launcher for Skype alone on my desktop. The command line was
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype Now, on this new laptop I have a new problem.....the webcam image is upside down! For this too I found a custom command line for skype to run properly.
export LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS=3 && LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype My problem is combining the two commands in one line so that Skype will run properly and this would thus solve my problem. Seeing that I am running Cairo dock as well i need to solve the incompatibility issue and also the inverted video in Skype.
I tried just copying and pasting them but it only solves the incompatibility with Cairo dock, the image in the meantime, remains upside down!

Ubuntu :: No GNOME Login Sound Item In Startup Applications?
Aug 5, 2010In Lucid Lynx, I am trying to change my GNOME login sound, and I find you can't do it under System -> Preferences -> Sounds anymore. So I followed the recommendation of every search result relating to "gnome login sound" and tried to modify it under System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. However, there is nothing relating to the GNOME Login Sound or any other login sound in my startup applications list.
How do I add GNOME Login Sound to make it an option in the Startup Applications list? How could it not be there to begin with?
Ubuntu :: Gnome Terminal Startup Slow (11 Natty Edition)?
Aug 16, 2011After several upgrades (from 8.xx) I noticed Gnome terminal took about 4 seconds to open an window and another 4 seconds to give me a prompt. This is excruciating when blasting out CLI in dozens of terminals ssh'd into dozens of machines. Tabs were no different.
Fix was: Comment out anything in ~/.bashrc that references xterm. BOOM less than 1s total to prompt.
If it's faster than I can get my mouse hand back to the keyboard to start blasting CLI, it's good enough
Debian :: Startup And Rc's - Run Different Desktops - Gnome - Xfce
Jul 16, 2011After an error occurred i can log in using the recovery console and startx manually.
If i understood correctly recovery mode uses /etc/rcS.d which starts the computer with minimal services and the normal startup is /etc/rc2.d. What can rc3, rc4 and rc5 be used for? Can anyone run different desktops (gnome, xfce, etc) using these runlevels (i am considering that the base system install is the same for all desktops)? Where i can find information about the services that are listed in the rc folders, since some (hibernate, bluetooth, apache2) are not useful to me at the moment.
I am also interested to find out what makes the computer start at it's default runlevel. Is there a way to start rc2 (or rc3, etc) from the recovery mode? When i used to start my computer, it would load into grub, and then it used to get me to the login screen. This is something i would like to avoid (the login screen), and start at the command prompt. My startups are minimal since the computer is always on. I was thinking of 'copying' rcS into rc2 for a normal console start and then start rc3 or rc4 or rc5 to load a desktop.
I am using Squeeze, Gnome, default installation.
