I have a dell inspireon 1501 with Ubuntu 10.04 on it. Sometimes but not always when I boot up I will see colored stripes on the screen that don't go away. The only way to get rid of them is too close the lid of the laptop then open it up again. After I open the lid the stripes go away. Any way to get RID of the stripes?

I have a dell inspireon 1501 and everytime I try to install a version of ubuntu above 9.10 I get colored stipes on the screen. How do I fix this. The dell laptop has a ati Xpress1150 card in it. It came in the laptop stock.

I have a Emachine el1200-05w AMD Athlon 64 2650e / 1.6 GHz NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE 2.0 GB mem. and 160GB HDD
I had to fight to get it to install kept freezing and stopping. I finally got it installed. It runs fine and is fast. I like it alot and then after about 5 to 10 min. The screen locks up or will distort in multicolor stripes across the screen. I cant figure out whats going on!
I did just notice that the specs say it's a 64bit possessor and I'm running the 32bit ubuntu will that make a difference?
I 've recently installed UNR 10.04 Lucid Lynx in my old PC.
Specs:
CPU Intel Pentium 4 2.66 GHz
Mother ASRock P4i45GV R5.0
Chipset Intel 845GV w/ Intel Extreme Graphics (shared memory up to 64 / 256 MB -I don't really get which one-).
Nevertheless, when I start the Pc, Ubuntu loads and, when it's about to load the desktop, the screen turns black with white stripes and "turns itself on and off" (like when it receives no image). I don't really know if this is or not a graphic bug / problem, but it's quite strange, as I've used Ubuntu 8.10 and 9.10 before in that same Pc.
By the way, I get the same error with the normal Ubuntu Lucid. AND, I have a Win XP Professional SP2 installed (I've installed the Ubuntu afterwards, so I have the Grub as default bootloader).
Also, I get the same error when loading Ubuntu in LiveCD mode.
on a cold computer randomly appears black screen with white flashing stripes up to half of the screen preceded by a message "checking battery state... [OK]". - ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- desktop compaq evo d510 sff
- intel 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE chipset integrated graphic device keyboard is not active on that black screen, BIOS settings look OK
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on an old Compaq desktop, and after working on it for a while, screen randomly turns blank, usually with flashing horizontal white lines. Can anyone help? Someone already told me to try memtest, which I already performed, but nothing happened.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've got 10.04 installed on my Blade 1000 workstation. Installed 6.06 first and worked my way up as per other postings. See attached cookbooks I wrote. Framebuffer is Elite3D-lite, and I have done the afbinit install. Using Xorg w/ Gnome and other windowing software to eliminate the possibility it is Gnome. From what I understand, Ubuntu does not require a custom X11 conf file like OpenBSD.
Current screen output shows large vertical stripes, where the stripes overlay on top of the GNOME desktop. Inside the stripes are the prior boot screen output of Ubuntu 10.04. When the screen saver kicks in, the Gnome desktop disappears, but the blue 10.04 stays visible. Mouse cursor moves across the screen, under each stripe as it goes.
My knowledge of framebuffers is limited. Would this then imply that the framebuffer is not fully "refreshing"? The screen does not provide full width even though the correct OpenBoot monitor configuration is set. Haven't found any mention of this issue from other Ubuntu/Linuxes Sparc users. Attached the X11 log. Looking at the log, I suspect this will need a custom X11 config file.
I am using the screen app, and have set bce to on, and issued the following commands to set my background and foreground color: tput setab 4; clear; tput setaf 7; clear;
This temporarily sets everything properly on my screen. However, when I issue any commands that change or set their own background color (for example, when I issue an "ls" command with colorized output), the background color gets lost for any new output and I have to reissue the commands listed above in order to retrieve my background color.Ideally I'd like to keep my background color when issuing these commands, as it serves as a good way to remind me of what environment I am currently issuing commands in.
It started many months ago on wheezy. Occationally I got horizontal stripes on my screen when I used my system for many hours switching from one application to an other. Now, after I installed Jessie this problem hasn't gone away, but got worse. Now I don't need to use my system for hours before I encounter this effect. Different parts of my screen get unreadable without any predictable pattern.
Friens of mine argued this might happen because of a broken RAM chip. I bought my Acer Extensa 5220 in 2008. I'm not sure if it's worth to search for new RAM fitting into this old notebook.
I am testing some boot splash screens but the ones I like most are darker and therefore the black font color during boot, well, shows on dark grey or black background, so I can't see.
I would like to change the font color of the messages, but not the results (green=DONE, red=FAILED, etc., I don't want to change that, only the messages like "doing fast boot", "Loading CPUfreq", and all the ones loading stuff, mounting, etc.).
Apparently I need to edit /lib/lsb/init-functions?
I found a few examples on google, mostly for debian based and the ones I have seen are far more complex than the very simple one opensuse uses. So I am stuck here. 11.2 version.
I'm using xterm/screen/vim, and set them up to 256 color mode. Everything went well, except when background color for the theme I choose is not black.
Here's the theme I use in this example:[URL].. Here's the situation: as long as I only use vim, the background is well rendered, meaning everything is grey in vim background. But when I try this with screen, the background is back to black, and only the text get some kind of highlight with the background color.Here are the magical lines I added to screenrc:
Code:
term screen-256color
attrcolor b ".I"
# Tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=E[48;5;%dm:AF=E[38;5;%dm'
# Erase background with current bg color. Not needed if TERM=screen-256color
defbce "on"
Colors are well rendered in 256 color, I only have a problem with this background. Anyone knows how to 'fix' this?
Problem appears every time I leave my computer for a while and my screen turns off because of inactivity. Then after screen starts again, my desktop looks like it lost color depth. I can see wallpaper that consists of big blocks of color tones instead of being smooth. Temporary I had to disable blank screen during inactivity in Power management settings. I have installed:
Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64

I'm a little new to ubuntu. I installed a video driver and after restarting I got as far as the login screen where I saw that the driver did not work: screen is mostly black with random bars of color. I was only able to restart in recovery mode mode. I tried the fix graphics option, which did not work and also some commands that I've seen posted in other threads. So far, still cannot delete the problematic driver or boot up normally successfully.

Why?
I use ssh via KDE 4.4.3 konsole to connect to a 2.6.28-18-generic Ubuntu SMP machine,on which I use vim 7.2 and screen 4.00.03jw4. Within a screen session, the background color persists on the screen session even after closing vim. I dont know if this is a konsole or bash or screen or vim colorscheme problem.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a problem for which I imagined a radical solution. Okay, I have a script that uses Alltray's "menu" feature as an interface. It's working greatly, EXCEPT sometimes lxpanel (the panel and tray of LXDE) has a hiccup and restarts, at which point the alltray menu is still running, but the icon is gone from the tray.
I want to somehow test the screen for the existence of a color, a color that is likely only to exist in the icon I've chosen for the chat menu. If the color exists on my screen, then the script can continue to do nothing, but if the color doesn't exist, then that means the alltray icon with my custom icon has disappeared, at which point I should have my bash script close the alltray process and start it again.
How to accomplish the checking of my screen for the existence of a particular color? To simplify, I already have simple screenshot scripts (scrot is good for it), so it would be fine if I could simply analyze an image.

I've installed Silkypix (tried 2.0 and 3.0SE) through Winedoors in Linux Mint Helena and keep getting coloured stripes across the photos. It actually works if I ignore these stripes but I wonder if it could be fixed...? I also tried Linux raw converters Rawtherapee and UFRAW but they don't seem as good, especially the noise reduction function. Can I fix Silkypix or is there another Linux software that is comparable?

View 6 Replies View RelatedI work for a seismic company that has recently experienced a security issue. Because we have an isolated network that is used for HPC work we have a very open security structue ie password less accounts rsh rlogin etc. We had, seemingly,a user that has maliciously deleted another user's files but I still haven't figured out how. So far I have been able to prove that this user has remotely logged into another host under that user's account... or at least that their workstation did. The /var/log/message file shows logins from their workstation as that user multiple times durring the times that these files were being deleted. There are wildcard searches for these files in the history in this host. There is a vi session initiated on this host for a file called delme (delete me) and then a chmod +x for this file. and then a deletion of this file (rm delme). Funny things: this user has no business in this acct. this user was bounced off the other host (permission denied) when trying to log into the other host and then as root logged into the other host as the other acct. repeatedly... ie. rsh -l xxx (permis den) then as root rsh -l xxx (logged in) why not su xxx and then rsh? password less acct?! why use root privs (which they sholuld not have) to log into a passwd less acct? Can't see any remote logins to their workstation from elsewhere. can't find smoking gun. no execution of delme script or any other rm /*/xxx/* sort of command that proves when file deletion of striped files happened?!
changing root passwd soon.need proof that no remote logins to a CentOS 5.3 workstation could be responsible.
Could mean someone gets fired.how can I be sure that no other users logged into this machine and then into another machine for sure?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI installed Ubuntu with a partition that was too small for any practical use, so I installed it again, thinking it would simply overwrite the other one as Windows would do. Obviously not. Now I have two Ubunto installations, neither of which work. I get a White Screen after the Ubuntu thing that shows its progress. If I try to boot from the CD, the Ubuntu thing works again, then I get a completely garbled screen which is totally unreadable and unuseable. I should also mention that I originally installed with a 19" square flatscreen from HP, but have upgraded to an Acer H233H. Since I have no clue what to do whatsover Ubuntu is just taking up space. I'd like to be able to use it, and I'd like to be able to get rid of one or other of the installations.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI just installed OpenSUSE 11.4 on a new system. Everything is plain-jane default KDE4, but there is a video problem. Driver? Hardware? KDE? Some menu's, most notable the right-click on the desktop, but also k-launcher and other programs have a transparent pinstripe background letting whatever is behind show through. This makes the menu unreadable. A couple screen shots of the problem in on this photo stream:
snapshot1 | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
It is really weird, and makes the system unusable, so I am surprised I can not find any prior references. If it is a driver problem, then surely I am not the first to encounter it. That makes me suspect hardware. (I know, it's never hardware...) If you look close at the photos. you can see that there are pinstripes that are OK, and in between it is transparent and the dark desktop is visible. This is only for first 6-8 items in drop down menu's, but menu bars sometimes have a pinstripe two tone effect where i think same thing is happening.
1. The disk checks out, MD5 verified, and reinstalled with same results.
2. I ran a memtest and memory checks out.
3. It is consistent, in that the same menu's have the problem in the same place for a few days now, but there are occasions when the menu is readable for an instant.
4. Not much to try in BIOS, but no effect from changing video memory size.
5. No other issues. Firefox menu's are fine, and firefox browsing is fine.
6. The system is an Intel i3-2100 with graphics on the CPU. Motherboard is an MSI-H67. Everything is new, recent manufacture (B3 stepping)
If I switch Open Gl mode from "texture from pixmap" to "shared memory" the whole display becomes unreadable, but I have no idea if that is expected or relevant. ++++++ OK, while writing this I found a workaround, but I still want to know what is happening. If I switch System settings -> Application appearance -> Style -> Application -> Widget Style from the default of "Oxygen" to any other option (CDE, Cleanlooks, Motif,...) the problem goes away. Oxygen has a slick look, but I can live without that, I still wonder if it is using a graphics feature that is not working on my hardware. Or maybe just a driver problem, but this is a very common graphics system.
I am using Ubuntu 10.04.1 and I run it 24 hours a day. Recently one morning I went to my laptop and opened the screen but the login screen wouldn't appear. Anytime the cursor appeared, HDD activity would go to 100%. I'm assuming this because the HDD light on my laptop was permanently on. So I made the dumb decision of just holding the power button down and turning it off. When I turned it back on, I noticed it came to a command prompt type screen listing "initramfs" at the bottom apparently wanting me to input a command. I did a lot of research and couldn't find much of anything that would help me. I read about GRUB, superblocks, fsck, e2fsck, etc.. . I tried all of those and nothing has worked so far. Any ideas? I did notice one thing. When I went into the actual install with the livecd, it told me the drive was /dev/sda5, but in Disk Utility on the livecd, it told me it was /dev/sda1
