Ubuntu :: 9.10 Newly Installed Doesn't Detect Proper Screen Resolution?

Jan 2, 2010

My monitor is the hp pavilion f1703. The 9.10 only offers 2 resolutions 800 x 600 (4:3) and 640 x 480 (4:3)The native screen resolution is 1280 x 1024 @ 60Hz which is obviously not offered. I did my homework and followed this guide found here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-adj...on-ubuntu.htmlall i got was 'xrandr:cannot find mode 1280x1024' when i try to set the resolution manuallyThe weird thing is ubuntu 8.10 detects my monitor native screen resolution just fine.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Monitor Won't Detect Proper Resolution / Solve This?

Dec 27, 2010

This has been happening with the majority of screens I try to plug into, but the proprietary nvidia driver never detects the correct resolutions -__- the open-source driver works perfectly with a little xrandr magic, but I'd like to have some 3D acceleration going on. I'm using the desktop version of Nvidia ION and ubuntu 10.10, with the current nvidia driver (from the repositories). The native resolution is 1440x900 @60 Hz. Any thoughts on this? Again, the nouveau driver is great but I'd like to have VDPAU and the like working. code...

Debian Multimedia :: XOrg Auto-detect Failing To Detect Max Screen Resolution

May 29, 2011

I've installed Squeeze 2.6.32-5-amd64 on my laptop (Alienware M17X R3, Intel i7 Sandybridge, ATI Technologies Inc Broadway [ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6800 Series])The screen is 17", with maximum resolution of 1920 x 1080. After a default install of the operating system, the maximum resolution I can select is 1280 x 1024.My research so far has suggested that I need to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and provide xorg with the necessary resolution.

Again, by default, the xorg.conf file is not created. This leads me to believe that xorg is scanning my hardware at startup and providing me with whatever it thinks is appropriate. I tried following these instructions to generate an xorg.conf file. This process created an xorg.conf file under /root/.

When I copy this xorg.conf file to /etc/X11, I get a blank (i.e. black) screen. Deleting this file restores the default resolution 1280 x 1024.This system is dual booting with Windows 7. Under windows I am able to get a 1920 x 1080 resolution, so I know my hardware is up to it.At this stage I have yet to install the drivers for the Radeon graphics card.What are my options regarding configuring xorg to give me a higher screen resolution?

Ubuntu :: Unable Getting Proper Screen Resolution?

Apr 30, 2010

My machine is dated, that's for sure, but it's never given me problems. Ubuntu has worked flawless until the 10.04 update. Now I'm not getting my proper screen resolution of 1024.768, and Ubuntu won't recognise my screen. Also, when I try to load up my nvidia drivers on the Hardware Drivers app, and reboot the computer, when GDM loads I get an error that the nvidia module fails to load, and there is no such driver.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Set Proper Screen Resolution (GeForge 8100)

May 2, 2010

I have installed Lucid on a PC with integrated graphics (GeForce 8100 on a Biostar GF8100 M2+ TE). On a fresh install the resolution is 1024x768, but that's no surprise as the Nvidea drivers are not installed. Immediately I get a notification of HW drivers available. I install the latest (recommended) ones (195.36.15). Reboot, and I can see other resolutions available:
1152x864
1360x768

I'm using a 19" Dell LCD (4:3 ratio) which supports up to 1280x1024. I can actually set the 1360x768 but, obviously, the screen looks ... squashed in the X axis. I noticed that the type of display is not identified (Nvidia panel says "CRT-0"), so I tried to manually add the 1280x1024 resolution. Below you can find the xorg.conf and the Xorg.0.log. It seems to me that the mode 1280x1024 is considered not valid for some reasons. The string for Modeline in the xorg.conf was determined using "cvt".

Here's the xorg.conf (after a few iterations, it became a bit busy ...):
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder5 Fri Mar 12 02:12:40 PST 2010
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"

InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
Option "Xinerama" "0"

Ubuntu :: Flashing Splash Screen Of Newly Installed Program

Nov 25, 2010

I have recently installed a program called IDA-STEP (manually off the web) on my Ubuntu 10.0.4 system. I unzipped the program folder to /usr/local/ida-step, and ran the executable to install (sudo ./ida-step) it. Now, every time I want to run the program I have to type "sudo ./ida-step" from within the folder to begin the program. However I also recently modified a copy of an existing *.desktop config file so that I can launch ida-step from the applications menu (and its in /usr/share/applications).

When I use this latter method to launch ida-step all I get is the programs initial splash screen flashing on and off (everything else in the background remains unaffected) - but the program never launches. I can replicate this behaviour if I launch the program in the terminal by typing "./ida-step" (rather than "sudo ./ida-step" which works fine).

Ubuntu Installation :: Cannot Reinstall - System Doesn't Detect Its Own Screen ?

Jul 12, 2010

I'm new to linux and having a lot of problem, and I would really apprecaite the help. It all started when I connected my laptop to an LCD. Since then, my system doesn't detect its own screen. So I have to escape as the start of reboot and go to a recovery mode and select failsafe screen. Ubuntu then set to lowest graphic mode. It's no way to keep a set up for the long run. I've tried to reinstall Ubuntu from a CD but that doesn't work. .

Ubuntu Servers :: TC Doesn't Provides A Weird Screen Resolution At The LDM?

Oct 20, 2010

Trying to connect an intel atom based TC which uses the Intel D945GSEJT motherboard. We have several old AcerPower F1 PCs which connect OK but the new TC doesn't provides a weird screen resolution at the LDM - 1152x864. I've logged in and looked at the monitors section and it thinks there is a laptop monitor for some reason in addition to an undetected monitor. If I try to change anything I lose my mouse which is VERY strange.

If I boot 10.04 using a USB memory stick on the TC everything is fine - I can get 1280x1024, the monitor is detected and all is well. I've tried changing monitors, fiddling with lts.conf etc with no success. For info, my current lts.conf is as follows

[default]
X_NUMLOCK = True
X_COLOR_DEPTH = 24
LDM_DIRECTX = True

Ubuntu Installation :: Won't Display The Proper Resolution

Feb 2, 2010

I installed 9.10 on a computer I'm working on, and right away the graphics went out. It won't display the proper resolution without shoving the display significantly to the left.

After MUCH Googling, I found that this can be fixed by a driver called i915. After much MORE Googling, I found [URL], which as you can imagine filled me with relief.

And THEN I try to follow the instructions and discover to my pure horror that GRUB has been gutted and made unusable in 9.10. GRUB2 just simply does not seem to have an option to insert the i915 driver into my boot command.

should I just forget this unstable release and burn a 9.04 disk instead?

Fedora :: Second Monitor Not Showing Proper Resolution?

Oct 1, 2010

It seems that whenever I boot my laptop (hp probook 6450b) without a monitor attached, then boot with a monitor later attached, the configuration gets all messed up.

Currently, if I boot with the monitor attached, right after the blue loading screen (at the login prompt) i get two black monitors and a mouse, with no login screen. Unplugging the monitor shows the login screen on the laptop.

If i boot without the monitor attached, log in, then plug it in, i see the following from xrandr:

Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2390 x 768, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1366x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 310mm x 174mm
1366x768 59.6*+
1024x768 60.0

[Code]....

However, now when I reboot, all settings are lost, and if the monitor is attached, i get the black screen with a mouse at login.

I did notice that when I shutdown, it hangs on "Running guests on default URI", and i get a stack trace. It will keep dumping stack traces, and i have to hold down the power button to force it off.

CentOS 5 :: Cannot Get Proper Monitor Resolution To Display?

Jan 7, 2010

I am having video issue with ubuntu 9.10 and centos 5.4 cannot get resolution higher than 800x600 on Viewsonic vg930m monitor...The first time I installed ubuntu 9.10 worked great, since then no better than 800x600 on both linux distros. Any ideas it is very annoying, like using web browser on a small tablet pc....This monitor works great with opensolaris, though.

Using both distros in virtualbox right now but even if not virtualized install on hard drive I cannot get higher than 800x600...Driving me nuts.

Ubuntu :: Newly Installed 9.10 Keeps Crashing

Feb 8, 2010

I have recently switched entirely to Ubuntu. I love Ubuntu and everything I need works fine, except the whole thing keeps crashing on a regular basis - screen goes black or white in a blink and totally hangs, requiring a hard reboot. How to starting trying to figure out what's happening? - I don't think it's hardware, as this laptop has worked fine with windows for a few years now. What sort of scans or checks can I do to investigate?

Ubuntu :: Get Grub2 Find Newly Installed O/s

I'm playing with my hard drive partitions and trying out different O/S versions so I want Grub2 to be aware of them on its boot menu. Currently I'm using the maintainer's version of Grub2 that came with karmic. Do I have to do a re-install of Grub2 or is there a makefile I can use? Specific commands that I would need be nice.

Ubuntu :: 9.10 - Cannot Find Newly Installed Application

Nov 23, 2010

I am a beginner Ubuntu 9.10 user. I downloaded and installed the latest version of the sun VirtualBox. My problem is I cannot find where it is installed and that's why I could not run it. Generally, when I install a program the shortcut appears in the menu "Applications->ClassOfInstalledFile". But Virtual Box did not appear. How to find the icon, or simply how to run this application and have a shortcut of it on the "Applications" menu?

Ubuntu :: Remove The Newly Installed 10.10 Without Damaging The Other OS?

Mar 22, 2011

I had a dual boot system (Ubuntu 10.04 and XP) and had a problem with my XP and had to reinstall it. Unfortunately I forgot to backup the boot file. After the re-installation of XP, I can't load Ubuntu 10.04 anymore, so I booted up Ubuntu 10.10 using USB, during the install, it didn't give an option to do a repair, so I did an install along with other OS. After the install, the GRUB showed now 3 OS:

Ubuntu 10.10
Win XP
Ubuntu 10.04

How can I remove the newly installed Ubuntu 10.10 without damaging the other OS? I'd like to keep the 10.04 because it's all customized and have several apps already installed.

I just installed ubuntu 11.04 on my PC from CD.I selected the option for it to run as dual boot with my windows xp (SP1 - don't laugh). I changed the boot priority order in BIOS to hard drive.The problem is the boot menu where i select the OS doesn't appear and I go directly into winXP. I have rebooted ubuntu from the disc and checked that all the ubuntu files are there and the drives are partitioned as set. So where is the boot menu?I notice the grub.cfg file refers to windows xp do need to change something here?

At the installation time, I choose French/French keyboard.

Ubuntu :: Getting The New Grub To See Newly Installed OS (on Other HDD) And Setting Defaults?

May 20, 2010

So I just had gotten to know the old Grub a little when I upgraded Ubuntu to find the new Grub, which I barely understand at all! My use of Ubuntu is mostly for learning and recreational as my bread and butter is working on people's messed up Windoze systems, since that is where the work is. Naturally I've got to use and work with Windoze to know how to fix it and keep it running cleanly, but Ubuntu was the first Linux I found that to me seems like something that could be potentially be embraced by "non geeks". I have as yet to get anyone to try it; it is all about keeping up with the Joneses and having what they have. There is also that old pervasive myth that you get what you pay for, which with computers, I find the opposite is so often true, that the good stuff is mostly free.

In any case I dabble a lot with Ubuntu for fun and personal knowledge, but since I put 10 on I had only Windoze 7 on my machine at the time. It picked it up and I purposely installed Grub to my Ubuntu drive (I used separate physical drives, so that if you removed the Ubuntu drive, 7 would boot as if Grub and Linux were never on the machine and that is the way I like it since I tinker a lot.). The trouble is that I need Win 7 to be the default and I don't know how to do that with Grub 2 (is it 2?) I used to know with the old one. Also, I have since added a 160GB PATA drive with XP on it, since so much of the help I am asked to give over the phone is with XP and I am not one who can talk others through things unless I can see it myself. Plus there are some things I do that just plain old work best with XP. So I also need to add XP to my boot menu, and it is, on a separate physical drive as well, and I wanted that the same too; if you made the XP drive the priority boot device it will boot XP as if it was the only OS on the machine.

What the ideal for me would be is to have the Ubuntu drive as the one it boots from, Windoze 7 to be the default OS, and XP to be on the menu too. I have been able in all of the time with Ubuntu and Linux in general to find precious little info on how to do things with multiple physical drives. It seems to be taken for granted that the only way people multi boot is with separate partitions on a single physical drive

Fedora Hardware :: Setup Nvidia On Geforce 5700LE - Monitor Doesn't Support Screen Resolution

May 13, 2010

First off, let me say: I'm a long time Linux hobbyist and recently installed Fedora 12. I've been looking (some say "lurking") around these forums for a bit after I loaded it up and let me say: Leigh, You're an amazing young man! Keep up the great work! I've a question: I've just put together a hobby computer: Pentuim 4, with 1 Gig of RAM and a Nvidia Geforce5700LE. When I install Fedora from a fresh install, everything works great: nice screen resolution, good graphics, etc. but no 3d or acceleration, so I'm very limited on my programs.

So I decided I need to upgrade my Nvidia driver. I followed Leigh's Nvidia setup guide after installing Fedora 12 (all four steps!) everything seemed to go fine, but when I reboot, I quickly see the Nvidia splash screen, but the screen then goes blank. Well, not really blank, I can see what appears to be a kind of cross-hatch pattern, plus I can see what should be my mouse cursor on screen (it also is a square shaped pattern). I suspect it may be at a screen resolution that my monitor doesn't support. Once there, the computer pretty much doesn't do anything else. Usually I can break into the x driver loading and go to the command prompt, but this latest time I can't even do that.
