Ubuntu :: Change Gnome Display Setting / Back To My Normal?
Jan 12, 2010
I was using GDE in my ubuntu system. But yesterday i did some thing so my ubuntu system has changed as debian. My login screen changed and i cant access "system->administration->Login window"
when i do this i am getting this error message
"GDM (GNOME Display Manager) is not running.
You might be using a different display manager, such as KDM (KDE Display Manager), CDE login (dtlogin), or xdm. If you wish to use this feature, then your system will need to be configured to use GDM instead."
How to come back to my normal original ubuntu with GNOME.

i'm just installed VirtualBox following this guide:[URL]...then i created a WinXP VM. installed GuestAdditions and everything seems to be fine, display was fine 32bit 800x600. Anyhow after rebooting, the VM only display 8bit and 640x480 for XP... this is really weird. anyone come across this before? i can't seem to figure out a fix to get my display back to normal
I was messing with appearances and inadvertently changed my mouse pointer. Currently it's big and red, I can't figure out how or where I need to be to change the mouse pointer back to normal.
I recently tried to plug my laptop to a TV and adjusted the settings consequently. The thing is now that I want to use it with the laptop screen. I can barely see the first top inch... I'm pretty shure it has something to do with the display configuration since it works flawlessly when I log in as a guestIs there a way for me to reset the screen to it default config without using my regular session?
hen it loads up ubuntu, it automatically detects the settings and resets, but my tv says it can't display the video. I have an old CRT monitor I hook it up to to be able to change settings, but it won't let me change the settings in gnome for the TV. I think the settings it will need to have for the video card hooked up RGB and television would be 1336x768, is there a way that I can program that to where it doesn't automatically detect the monitor?
Despite having the Gnome Power Manager set to put the display to seep after 30 minutes, it always happens after 5 minutes. The display will go blank but still lit, and then it powers off after the 30 minutes. Surely, if I set it to 30 minutes, the display should power off then, and not just blank after 5? I have no screensaver packages installed so it's nothing to do with that.
I just downloaded Ubuntu Netbook Edition 10.04 and am running it from a usb flash drive on my Acer laptop. At times I'd like to use the Gnome desktop. I know with the previous version there was a way to change to Gnome. Is there still a way to change to Gnome on the 10.04 version and if so how do I change to Gnome and back to Netbook Edition desktop?
I am wondering how you can change the view of the classic GNOME menu (Applications | Places | System) in 11.3 to the "classic" view (like in Fedora)? The Applications menu has to much sub-menus. I prefer it flat. The nautilus bookmarks are not directly accessible in Places either, which is not really comfortable.
I have recently played around with Mac4lin a program to change the interface to one that resembles a Mac computer. I did not like the settings then decided to uninstall the program. It reverted to a really ugly looking gnome desktop rather than my previous settings. One thing that I don't like is that I have a foot icon on my gnome traditional menu button on the panel rather than the green ball type icon I used to have. I know it's not the end of the world that my icons do not look like it previously did, everything else is running smoothly, though I'm just more annoyed than anything else.
How do I get my firefox back to normal? It used to have the orange x and the minimize stuff on the left. Now it has the x black and on the right. I cant figure out how to get it back to normal.
I have run powertop to see if I can streamline my system but have one problem, the mouse now seems to go into a sleep state if I don't use it for a few seconds. this is VERY annoying and I have to press the mouse button every time to get it to work again. anyone know how I can restore this back to how it was?
I am unable to return my screen resolution back to the 1024x setting. Somehow I got it stuck on the 340? setting, which is not allowing me to see/access the dialog box save button when I go to preferences, display. Anyone know a way out of this mess?
Xfwm4 has a very nice option when right-clicking on the window decoration to choose a full screen mode... but how do I come back to the normal window size?
I have a problem with GUI under SuSE. As root I can enter but as normal user I can't. So the splash occurs I put user name and password but the system try to enter and later it comes back. I try from CLI, I make startx from command line, the same situation. Sometime the system informs me about a error (a temporary file from /tmp(.X0~ )I must remove, I did but next time it tells me that it can't load one module (it gives me a number).
I had 11.3 running for quite some time without any problem. The upgrade to 11.4 was ruined for some reason (only got commandprompt login) and the message that Xorg.0.log couldn't be copied. Decided to install 11.4 from scratch, but since the install my screen flashes every 20 seconds or so to black screen and and after 1 second back to normal. There is no interruption of any other task like typing. Card: FeForce FX5200 card. Can someone please point me to a solution? Also, my monitor (Philips 150S) is not recognized. How can I change that without changing xorg.conf by hand?
machine boots straight to Windows, Grub2 does not display the normal boot menu choices. Therefore, not able to boot into Ubuntu 9.10.Perhaps someone could look at this Results.txt file and shed some light on what went wrong.This machine was working fine for a long time, then all of a sudden, it starting booting straight to Windows.
I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4 64bit and I have installed the AMD Display drivers for my Radeon HD 5970. Everything seems to be working quite well. I have a multiple monitor setup (1280x1024 monitor and a 1920x1080 monitor).
I have my primary display set to 1920x1080, however when I try to enable the second display, I get a CRTC error that the display is over the maximum (1920x1920). If I enable both monitors at lower resolutions, there is no problem.
I have done a fair bit of reading and have been unable to determine where this maximum is set, or how to change it. I'd like to be able to run both monitors at their native resolutions.
when I boot my pc with fedora 10, it displays the white cube, although i can rotate it but it does not seem to work i cant see any desktops. How can I switch back to the normal desktop view or disable compiz fusion ?
I'm running Fedora 14 and set the screensaver (in System>Preferences on the Gnome GUI) to activate after the computer is idle for 30 minutes. After the screensaver is activated, and a press a key or the mouse, the screen is back to normal -- no problem.After the screensaver has been activated once, however, it comes back on very quickly -- usually in 2 or 3 minutes if the computer is idle. The only way I have found to correct this (and set activation back at 30 minutes again) is to log out and back in again.How can I correct this, and automatically set screensaver activation back at 30 minutes each time the normal screen is reactivated?

If I select "Failsafe Gnome" when the desktop boots all is fine.Why is this Happening. Shouldn't everything show when I boot normally (Using Gnome).I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS - lucid Lynx which I just onstalled a few days ago.

I have a problem with keyboard mappings on F13. I have the following in my .xmodmap file that is run from .bash_profile:
[code]...
The problem is that at seemingly random times the roles of the caps lock and control keys (and the other customisations) gets reverted back to normal - which makes for an awful lot of confusion! Running xmodmap again switches them to how I like it, but again after a seemingly random period it resets itself. This occurs under KDE and Gnome in F13, but did not occur in F12. Using the KDE keyboard settings dialog to switch caps lock and control does the exhibits the same behaviour.
I just installed 10.04.1 i386 into a friend's computer, but I can't properly log in! Every time I type the password into the login screen to start Gnome Session, it goes right back into the login screen! FAILSAFE Gnome and XTerm works, but the normal Gnome does not.

I am trying to install Fedora 12 using the x86-64 DVD. My problem is everytime I try to install with the normal settings or basic video deriver setting it says "X failed to load" and so Anaconda never loads. How do i fix this problem. I have an Nvidia 7800GTX.
I am stumped. I get random "freezes" for like 20 seconds, then back to normal. Then again the same thing randomly. I thought it was my hard drive...replaced it, reinstalled 9.10 and same issue. Thought it might be the memory...nope!, thought it might be my motherboard, tried to update my bios and it froze and now I can't get in to my bios at all. I bought a new motherboard and did a fresh install of 9.10 and same problem!!! I took my hard drive out and put it in another computer and it ran the same ruling out hardware issues all together.
