Ubuntu :: Burg Will Not Display Properly?
Sep 16, 2010
I recently installed Burg on my three sig computers and like it very much. I'm having trouble on one of my desktops (AMD 9950BE Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64), I installed it like I did the other 2 but this one initially boots to the standard grub2 menu, and if I press "c" to enter the grub console and exit from it, Burg starts and works normally for that session.
I've spent quite a bit of time comparing files to my Laptop with a working burg and except for HD and partitions these files compare:
Code:
grub.cfg
burg.cfg
/etc/default/grub
/etc/grub.d/*.*
/etc/burg.d/*.*
[Code]...

and I did a silly noobish thing. I have been using Ubuntu in various flavors for a little over a year now, and decided to install it alongside my Win7 Install on my desktop. Last week I read about BURG on omgubuntu.co.ukI am fairly certain I botched the install of burg somehowWhenever I turn on the computer, there is no display, not Mobo splash screen, not post, no GRUB menu nothing. the Display light is orange, indicating no input detected. But I know the OS is loading, I can hear it bootup, I can login, just by pressing enter, then typing my password, then enter again. Once I hear the login screen drum beat, if I turn off the monitor, then turn it on again, I get a super low res display. the driver works, compiz effects work, but everything is at 640 x 480. when I go to system-> preferences-> monitor the display is labeled as unknown and I can't change the resolution.I can access the BIOS, but the screen still does not detect the input, even if I power cycle the monitor after access the BIOS, so I won't try to change any settings, as I can't see what I am doing. The only reason I know I am in the Bios is that I can press f10 and then y to cause it to reset to default settings and cause a reboot.My system:ATi Radeon hd5870AMD Phenom II X4 3.4 GHzWD Velociraptor 300 Gb4 GbRamASUS M4A78-E

I've recently started using burg (a modification of grub that shows pictures instead of/with text), and I really like it for booting into Ubuntu and Vista. After many failed attempts of trying to get OSX on my PC, I'd like to try Macbuntu (a theme for Ubuntu that makes it look like a Mac). Unfortunately (fortunately?) my parents have taking a liking to Ubuntu and hate when I change anything, so installing Macbuntu would be a big no-no. I made a copy of Ubuntu and will put it on another partition of my hard drive, but I don't want to have two Ubuntu pictures when burg boots up. Are there any bootup lines I can put inside burg.cfg to fool it into loading an osx picture, then loading Ubuntu?

Has anyone played with Burg? I'm a bit apprehensive about trying it.This laptop had 10.10 as the only OS but I shrank the partition and installed 11.04 in the empty space.So 11.04 re-wrote the Grub with itself at the top of the list.So now I have 10.10 in sda1 and 11.04 in sda6.Do you think that Burg will cause any problems?

I have downloaded and installed these icon sets most of which I got from [url] and [url].
AquaFusion
Beos
Glossy-Glass
Lush
Nature
Noia
Noia Warm
Vista-Inspirate_1.0
My problem is they do not display properly. When I select them all the icons for the folders etc revert to the default Gnome ones. How do I fix this? They all have an index.theme file.

I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on an Intel 1.5GHz, 500 MB RAM, 128 MB video card system, 80 GB hard drive (it's a 5 year old system)....My system meets the requirements according to this [URL]
But for some reason, things aren't displaying correctly. The best way to describe it is that it's almost like Xubuntu can't "repaint" the graphics correctly. So I see distorted lines or text that doesn't render completely.

I am new to Ubuntu.I have used Gentoo Linux for about ten years, but got to a point in my life where fixing problems is not as much fun as it used to be. I just need something that works, and so I switched to Ubuntu.So recently, I decided to hook up my desktop computer to my 40" LCD TV. It's running an onboard Nvida geforce 7150 with 256 MB of RAM. It's got an HDMI out put that I'm running directly to my TV. The problem is, it's not detecting the size of the TV quite properly, and I lose the top and bottom of the screen, where my gnome menus and icons are. I can't boot into recovery mode because it no longer shows me my grub menu. I can't reconfigure X because I can't stop X from running. Not sure that it would help anyway. I do still have the LCD that it worked with before that I could hook up if need be, but I'd really prefer not to have to move it to where the TV is.I'm running the latest Ubuntu for AMD64, with a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM. Any advice?

I recently upgraded from Maverick to Natty (64-bit NOT a clean install).
Now when I start Gcompris I get a white rectangle on a black screen.
I tried to uninstall - reinstall, but that did not work.
I switched to the gnome desktop and everythinh worked fine, so I suppose this is a Unity problem.

I have been using an XFX 5770 with Windows 7 in EyeFinity and running a 5760x1080 resolution. My setup is as follows for Windows
x3 Viewsonic VA2223WM monitors (vga/dvi only)
I have two monitors connected connected with DVI and my 3rd monitor is connected with a DVI to Active Display port adapter, bizlink brand. This works wonderfully in Windows 7.
I cannot get my 3 displays to function properly in Ubuntu. I have tried removing the display port adapter and connecting my 3rd monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable and still no success. I can only use any of my 3 monitors in a dual configuration...how do I get the 3rd extended? Using the ATI driver that was auto downloaded for me...

i've finally given up playing with xorg.. i've been with ubuntu since dapper, and wasted countless hours configuring ubuntu to properly display on 3 different computers. the old xorg configuration used to at least provide a functional xorg.conf to work with, but in lucid all i get is a bunch of gibber jabber (as Mr. T would say). why does my mouse need to load dri and xgl modules? this is just a mess.. the nouveau drivers don't display properly on 2 of the 3 computers and leaves all kinds of artifacts, nvidia drivers dont display proper resolutions on monitors that nv and nouveau do, and leaves artifacts at boot and shutdown, and nv doesn't display proper resolutions on 2 of the 3, and previous xorg.conf files that i've saved sometimes work with upgrades, and sometimes don't [end rant] Anyway, i give up, it's too much pain and wasted time, so i'm wondering if i overlooked a program or something that can actually properly create a new xorg.conf that will work with the newest ubuntu, or if any other linux distro can configure displays better then ubuntu..i've heard suze is much more friendly for nvidia users (can anyone confirm?) and i know puppy linux has an excellent configuration wizard for this that's worked on all 3 computers but puppy isn't what im looking for as a main os. will ubuntu EVER start providing reliable tools for this, rather than assuming that people arnt having problems because many of those that are simply go back to windows...?

Right now I'm getting little boxes with hexcode instead of text-critical marks in my Greek texts that have been marked up. Also, I can't get xml to display in my firefox browser. What am I missing? Shouldn't Firefox parse xml and display something like an html page?

I have an Apple iBook (ancient I know) and whenever I boot from the Live CD (Kubuntu 10.10) it boots up in 800x600 (as far as I can tell that's what it is). This would be a problem however it simplely leaves a huge black column on the right side and has a partially duplicated desktop below it.
When I go to display settings it won't let me change to a higher resolution (1024x768 is what the iBook natively runs at).
This is an iBook G3.

I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 10.10 with the smooth-scaling ppa (only addons I'm using are Firebug and the Ubuntu modifications pack).Several sites with navigation menus the menu is spread over two lines when it obviously shouldn't be (eg. The Telegraph online, BBC News...) this happens no matter what the zoom level is set to. Chromium renders all these pages normally.

On Linux Mint FBReader (both the latest version and the one in the 10.04 repositories)displays Chinese characters as boxes(see screenshot) for some reason, but on Windows it works fine. Is there any way to fix it?

The startup and shutdown displays are a series of vertical black and white lines, and the text displayed on them appears as more or less white blobs. Otherwise, the displays when 11.04 is running are fine, but this startup looks so naff it would be nice to change it so that the diplays can be read. I would hate to demonstrate Ubuntu to someone and have to explain such a display.

I am using firefox 3.6.18 in Ubuntu 10.04. My problem is that if I try to save some webpage in postscript or pdf format, I go to file>print>print-to-file option and choose output file as ps or pdf format. Now if I click to print, I do get the corresponding page saved in ps/pdf format but only the first page is printed(i.e., saved in ps/pdf format) this way, leaving major portion(may be eight pages for example) of the corresponding webpage unsaved. (the option: range of printing: all pages is chosen by default.) Why is this happening and what should I do to print the entire page? (one example is the following page which you may try to save in the way I described above: [url]

I recently intalled Debian lenny and I'm having issues with some of the unicode characters. Instead of displaying the symbols properly it shows one of the following depending on font/app:
1) Square outline with four letters/numbers arranged inside
2) Just a blank square outline
3) Just a blank space
I haven't been able to test all possible characters, but from a quick check it seems that Cyrillic works properly, Japanese doesn't.A few Google searches later and I'm no wiser on how to fix the issue. Any help?

I tried troubleshooting this on the Ubuntu forums, but my thread went nowhere, so here I am! I'm REALLY hoping someone can help, because this is immensely frustrating.I just moved to a new house, with a new ISP. All of a sudden, all the machines running Ubuntu (there are 4 of them on my network) are having trouble rendering websites properly. Some websites are perfectly fine; some render with things missing (e.g., no photos or no CSS); some render as text-only; and some won't display at all - I get a "server not found" error.If I boot into Windows on any of these machines, there's no problem.To complicate matters more: Sometimes the "server not found" sites will decide to connect, then they'll fail again. This has been changing day to day (sometimes even hour to hour). Anything within the google.com domain is a good example of this.Two of the affected machines are desktops (one running headless as a server), and two are laptops. All four are running Ubuntu, but they're all running different kernels. The ONLY things these machines have in common is that they're running Ubuntu, and they're all connecting to the internet wirelessly.
Because things work properly in Windows without exception, and because (at least on the laptops) things work fine in Ubuntu on any other internet connection, I can rule out wireless network adapters. I have tried using two different wireless routers - no change. I have tried using 4 different web browsers - no change. I have tried plugging a laptop directly into the incoming connection, bypassing the router entirely - no change. I have tried purging and reinstalling Flash on one of the laptops - no change. I have tried to connect to affected websites using their IP addresses to rule out DNS issues - no change.This one has me completely stumped. The only thing I can think is that this is something to do with my ISP, but I can't imagine what it would be. I called the guy who runs the ISP (it's a local outfit run by one or two guys, as I'm living in the middle of nowhere), and he said there's nothing he's aware of at the ISP level that would be causing a problem like this.

I recently got a Canon Powershot SD780 IS. It takes HD video at 780p. It's great, except that the videos won't display properly in Ubuntu Netbook Remix (Lucid) on my Dell Mini 10v.I've tried using Gstreamer (Banshee), Xine (Totem-xine), and MPlayer (GNOME MPlayer). These all should have worked, which makes me think something may be wrong either with the files themselves or my computer. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?FYI, when I pull up the Properties dialogue for one of the videos and look in the Audio/Video tab, it says:
Video
Dimensions: 1280 x 720
Codec: H.264 / AVC

I'm trying to make my BURG boot loader look better, right now it has the Ubuntu and Windows icons, but for name it has things like "untu 2.6" because the name won't fit. I am trying to change them simply to "Ubuntu" and "Windows 7", but I'm having some trouble. Using this guide, I am able to change the entries for GRUB2,but it has no effect on my BURG entries. Even if it was just removing the names all together, and just having the icons, that would be fine.

im totally new to ubuntu and recently installed it alongside windows 7 just now i tried to install BURG by copying a code i got from a website (dont remember which) into a terminal when i restarted my computer to see if it had worked the following came up
BURG version 1.98+20100623-1 Minimal BASH-like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists possible device or file completions.
iv looked at every solution from every related forum post but i still cant get into either operating system on my computer. i dont have either of the installation discs which is why i really need to be able to get back into windows, as well as my files and settings. i dont mind if i have to completely remove ubuntu and everything to do with it, as i can easily set that up again in a matter of minutes. right now i just need a way to return my computer to how it was before i installed ubuntu

I installed Burg, I then spent a decent amount of time editing a theme to look like I wanted as shown below. Its slightly glitcy but I pretty pleased However burg is refufing to save my choice of theme The configuration file looks like this, I've tried changing the theme to = the specific theme i want but that doesn't work, neither does changing the folding options to = yes.
# Use the previous selected theme, you can also specify a theme to be used
# In the boot menu, use hotkey 't' to popup a theme selection menu GRUB_THEME=saved
# Use the previous folding option, its value can be 'yes', 'no' or 'saved'
# In the boot menu, use hotkey 'F7' to show the full list, 'f' to toggle
# between folding modes. GRUB_FOLD=saved with it.

I installed Burg and it worked for some time. I installed some apps that I can't remember anymore and closed my comp. I restarted my computer today and Burg does not work anymore, Grub just start like before. I tried to reinstalled Burg and it changed nothing. When I check Burg-emu it shows me the right thing, like if Burg was working. Did it happened to somebody else?

Thought BURG would be cool so I installed it. Something is very wrong. (See attached photos) all I get is the 1st photo, BURG version 1.98+20100623-1+karmic. If I tab I get photo 2. At this point I'd be happy just to restore GRUB2 & forget BURG but I can't even boot to any OS. I haven't had Ubuntu on this PC for long so maybe the best, or simplest option, would be to re-install Ubuntu- which would rewrite grub2.

I've installed burg with no major hassle. Started up the computer to see a pretty new boot menu, but Ubuntu fails to boot. The screen immediately turns black and the computer reboots. Fortunately, I have grub backed up on a usb flash drive so I can boot.
