Ubuntu :: Desktop Not Repainted When VLC Exits?
Sep 8, 2010
I'm running VLC (full screen mode) on Ubuntu 10.04 with the gnome desktop. When I exit from VLC, it does not repaint the desktop. It leaves the entire screen white. I can click on the screen, and this causes the rectangle formed by the upper left corner of the screen and the current mouse position to get repainted. So, by clicking on the screen near the bottom right corner will repaint the desktop (mostly). Does anyone know how to fix this?

Whenever I exit certain sites, a prompt opens saying something along the lines of "Wait! You're gonna miss out on a crazy deal! .....!" And you have to press Ok to exit page or press Cancel to stay on site. On Chrome this doesn't show up. What addon will get rid of this. I'm hoping you guys are the firefox experts I think you are.

I am using lucid and the adobe-flashplugin 10 package. When I watch programmes in fullscreen on the BBC iPlayer or Channel4-on-demand player it works fine but switches back to windowed mode after about 5 or 10 minutes. I put it back into fullscreen and the same thing happens after the same sort of time. I read this thread about flash switching out of fullscreen when the volume is adjusted, but I'm not adjusting the volume...how can I fix this?

i know this is normal when you use ubuntu but i was wondering if there was a way to change this or fix this. i noticed when you play a flash movie (like a videos video) in full screen and you change the volume using the volume keys on the keyboard, it exits out of full screen mode.

I had Kubuntu 10.04 installed, I screwed up a bunch of stuff in it and it would hang after the login screen. I reinstalled Kubuntu 10.10 (formatted the partition with Kubuntu on it) but I kept my /home partition in tact. NOw, when I log in, i starts to load, and then KICKS ME OUT, back into the log in screen. The user does exist, I can access the user from the console, but when I try to get into Kubuntu, it kicks me back out to login. What on earth is going on? I've tried failsafe mode as well as regular login. neither works.

I'm planning on writing a BASH script for my website's server that will process data from user input via HTML forms, and then write data to the website's HTML documents. My question regards how to deal with the possibility that two users send form information very close to the same time, thus having the BASH script being called again while the first instance of the script has not yet finished.
I don't even know what happens in general when a BASH script is called while it is still running. Even if that is ok, and a new, separate script process is started (or whatever really happens), how am I supposed to prevent issues that could come from two different instances of the script trying to write to the same file at the same time? Is there a way to force the BASH script to finish its work before launching again, in the event of multiple requests?

openSUSE 11.1
KDevelop 3.5.5 using KDE 3.5.10 "release 21.12.1"
gdb 6.8.50.
Problem: When I attempt to debug my program with breakpoints set the debugger does not stop at breakpoint. Message in gdb window is:
/bin/sh -c libtool gdb .../C++/Graphyxs/debug/./src/graphyxs --interpreter=mi2 -quiet
(gdb) set print static-members off
(gdb) Process exited
Attempted fix: Some forum posts suggest KDevelop upgrade. Upgraded from 3.5.4 to 3.5.5; gdb upgrade not available in openSUSE.
Other posts recommend assurance that debugger options are properly set. KDevelop Project Options has Compiler Flags -O0 -g3 with "debug" configuration.

Is it possible to configure Yast Software Manager module so that it does not completely exit when done installing a package? It get's annoying to search for a package and install it, the software manager exits, you then have to reopen it, install another etc. a few minutes later.
Seems this would be a config option, but if so I can't seem to find it.

I have new hardware (Nvidia Geforce GTX 960) which required new drivers. I'm running jessie but had to install the driver version 352.30 from the experimental repo. Everything seems to work fine, except after a suspend. On resume, the X server exists with errors, and I'm dropped back to the Linux console.
I've done a fair amount of searching, but the problem most people seem to have is corruption or black screen. I'm getting something equally annoying but less severe: I just get dropped back to the shell, but as soon as I restart the X server with startx everything continues to work... until the next suspend.
My full Xorg.0.log is at [URL] .... . Here are the errors that appear after the suspend:
Code: Select all[ 1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: disconnected
[ 1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: Internal DisplayPort
[ 1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0): DFP-6: 960.0 MHz maximum pixel clock
[ 1772.779] (--) NVIDIA(GPU-0):
[ 1772.792] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DFP-6:nvidia-auto-select"
[ 1772.792] (WW) NVIDIA(0): Failed to set the display configuration
[Code] ....
The monitor is a Dell P2715Q running in its native 3840x2160 resolution at 60Hz.

I am using CentOS 5.4. I created a bash script that does some checking before running any commands. If the check fails, it will simply exit 0. The problem I am having is that on our server, the script will exit the su or ssh session when the exit 0 is called.
#!/bin/bash
# check if directory has contents and exit if none
if [ -z "`ls /ebs_raid/import/*.txt 2>/dev/null`" ]; then
echo "ok"
exit 0
fi
Here is the output:
[root@ip-10-251-86-31 ebs_raid]# . test.sh
ok
[russ@ip-10-251-86-31 ebs_raid]$
I was removed from my sudo session, if I wasn't in the sudo session, it would have logged me out of my ssh session. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here or where to start.

The latter fails, it prompts "File exists" i.e.
~>echo "foo" > bar
~>echo "foobar" > bar
bar: File exists.
~>cat bar

I am having problems install VirtualBox and followed the errors to see that the link for Build (2.6.29) links to a non existent folder.
I also find it weird that there is actually a 2.6.30 kernel folder as well.
Not sure if this is just n00b issue, but VBox won't install and I was wondering why one of the kernels listed would link to nothing...

I have a bash script that launches an application of mine through a gnome terminal with the following command:gnome-terminal -x MyApplicationIf MyApplication launches correctly, a GUI is displayed. If it fails to launch correctly, it reports errors to stdout (the terminal).
My problem is, the terminal immediately exits when MyApplication exits, leaving no time to see the error messages if MyApplication fails to launch.You can also see this behavior by trying:gnome-terminal -x lsThe gnome terminal immediately exits.Is there a way to stop this behavior? I want the terminal to remain until I close it.

I'm trying to build a dual boot ubuntu 8.10 and fedora 10.I have ubuntu sucessfully installed. with a free partition ready for fedora.I cant seem to get fedora past the beginning of the install. Once it says its loading anaconda, my screen either goes blank, or the anaconda fails and the install exits, telling me to reboot my system.I have downloaded the DVD twice. once from the website, and i think when I bruned it it didn't burn right, I then downloaded it from torrent just to be safe and reburned at the slowest speed. It passes the media test.
I have been reading around it may be cause of my video card?My computer is the following.AMD Athlon +2400 XPXFX Nvidia Geforce 6800 GT or something close.80 gig hard drive1.5 gigs of DDR ram.MSI Motherboard not sure of model off top of my head.I really wanna get this dual boot working, As I feel fedora may have advantages over ubuntu. I was going to try to get ahold of another video card, and maybe try that. What do you think I should do

I'm working on getting my myth box hooked up to my Sony flat panel display.Originally the nvidia drivers could not read the EID, so defaulted to only 640x480 over my HDMI-DVI connection.I manually updated xorg.conf with a mode for the resolution I know the thing can handle. Suddenly there are several resolutions avaialble in nvidia-settings and it seems to be communicating with the TV, as it is now listed as a Sony FP display rather than a CRT.I'm able to change the resolution now as expected.my problem, however, lies with the TV itself. I can't seem to get it to actually display the output. I'm able to remote desktop into the box and can see Gnome logged in and everything.However nothing on the TV itself.How do I troubleshoot this? Am I missing something obvious?

I want to make a live-USB containing among others both Ubuntu desktop i386 and Ubuntu desktop AMD64. How do I go about this? I tried using unetbootin, first adding i386 and then amd64, but that failed. My computer with an athlon II did manage to boot, and showed it had booted into the 64-bit version (ram shown was 3.9 GB, i386 goes to about 2.7 I think), my wife's computer with a pentium 4 did not manage to boot, got to a black screen. I think this is because casper has issues, being overwritten (I'd seen something to that effect somewhere), and thus only the latest version added being booted (in this case amd 64).
I'm under the impression that the startup disc creator included won't help, nor won't the multicd.sh script, so how do I circumvent the issues?

1. Is it possible to instead of using the Desktop Folder plasmoid, have a usual Desktop act as a file manager?
2. What is Akondi? There are tons of processes which have Akonadi in their name, and it seems to be using up lots of memory.Can I disable these somehow, or is it safe to do so?
3. Any general tips on how to reduce the amount ram that is used on startup? I am using somewhere around 750MB on startup, which is about double the amount Gnome uses. After a few hours of use, Xorg uses close to 1GB of memory.
4. Whenever I get a notification, they don't delete themselves, so when I click on the (i), I see tons of notifications. Is there a way to get them to delete themselves after they have been shown?

I have my main box, Ubuntu 10.04lts, and I am trying to use remote desktop viewer to see the desktop on a Windows XP machine. The machines are side by side The Ubuntu box is hardwired to my network router, and the XP machine is connected via wireless. Both get to the internet fine, and I can ping the Ubuntu box from the XP box. But, I cannot ping the XP box from the Ubuntu box, and Remote Desktop Viewer won't establish a connection to the VNC server I have running on the XP box.

EVERY SINGLE TIME when I try to close the Nautilus File Browser (ie when I go to my Documents folder), the desktop flashes all the icons on the desktop a couple of times (for a sec you would see no icons on the desktop) before everything goes back to normal.
