Ubuntu :: Desktop Still Drawing For Two Monitors After One Is Gone?
Dec 10, 2010
I had a dual monitor setup going for a while, then one monitor broke, and I dropped back down to one. In some ways, the computer seems to have noticed this. I have an NVIDIA card and the NVIDIA drivers, and in NVIDIA X Server Settings it shows only one display. I had it configured in the Xinerama fashion, two continuous desktops side by side.
However, my desktop is still drawn as though there are two monitors, the result being that I can only see half. This is easily apparent when I zoom out to the desktop cube. It wouldn't be much of a serious problem, except for some reason, several important applications I use for work are popping up messages on the part of the desktop that I can't access. I installed the latest NVIDIA drivers,driver reset might prompt whatever the problem is to go away (and it's good to do that regularly anyways) but no dice.

I'm a web designer, and a key part of my job is to edit and make images and designs
On windows, I'm used to Fireworks, and illustrator.
Whats the equivalent in ubuntu?
Windows stinks, macs are overpriced, and linux rocks. taht's why im trying to design on linux :-
Also, do you think drawing pads will work on ubuntu?

So have you ever tried a drawing pad for GIMP before?
Do the drivers work?
What image/illustrator editor do you prefer?

I wonder if this is possible/easy/practical to do in Ubuntu: I want to have one computer serve two sets of monitors and inputs in two different (adjacent) rooms. The computer and one monitor will be in my office for desktop use, and a HDMI cable to my TV on the opposite site of the wall (I already have a hole for the cable) will serve HTPC content.
I assume I will need two videocards. But other than that, is this fairly straight forward, or is it difficult?

I experience very poor desktop performance on my system. General clicking responsiveness is poor, taking over second or two to focus to a new window, move windows around, ... etc. The Xorg process constantly uses over 60% of the CPU even when I'm doing nothing, and when I do click around it will quickly go up near 100% usage. Performance is initially OK when I first launch into my Gnome environment, but it soon deteriorates within 30 minutes or so. Eventually, after days of being up and running, my desktop will crash.I am running Ubuntu 10.10 with latest upgrades. I have four monitors attached to my "nVidia Corporation G98 [Quadro NVS 420]" graphics card. I am running the "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version current)" recommended in the Ubuntu "Additional Drivers" app. I get a fair number (hundreds) of these in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
Code:
[862923.098] (WW) NVIDIA(2): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000ba04, 0x0000ba14)
[862923.099] (WW) NVIDIA(3): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000ac44, 0x0000ac54)
[862923.099] (WW) NVIDIA(0): WAIT (1, 6, 0x8000, 0x0000fca0, 0x0000fcb0)
[code]....
though they don't appear constantly while my desktop is running (I assume they may come in batches?). Not sure if they're relevant. A separate issue, though possibly related, is the SpeedCrunch app (a desktop calculator) is guaranteed to crash my desktop as soon as it gets focus. Here's the relevant output of "lspci -v" which shows my graphics card:
Code:
03:00.0 PCI bridge: nVidia Corporation NF200 PCIe 2.0 switch for Quadro Plex S4 / Tesla S870 / Tesla S1070 / Tesla S2050 (rev a3) (prog-if 00 [Normal decode])
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0
Bus: primary=03, secondary=04, subordinate=06, sec-latency=0

My Kubuntu desktop uses 3x24" monitors running on two NVidia cards. I'm using Xinerama to make use of all 3 monitors in one giant desktop. Trouble is I really miss hardware acceleration which I had before with TwinView.
Is there *any* way to make Xinerama use the hardware like it's supposed to? The way it is, it makes the computer struggle; the i7 with 12 GBs of RAM runs like that 200Mhz MMX IBM Aptiva I had in 1995.

I'm using two monitors with an ATI Radeon X600 card in Ubuntu 9.10. I got the duel monitors to work by running sudo Xorg -configure, but now my desktop effects don't work. How can I get them to work again?

Currently I have a perfect setup of 3 monitors,2 GPUs running under Xinerama. I cannot get desktop effects running at Normal or Extra, when I try to enable either one I get the following message "The Composite extension is not available". Without Xinerama it works along with Compiz. I am running Ubuntu 9.04 x64 with a ATI HD4870 and ATI HD4350 GPU. I have the latest ATI display drivers (set up properly to my knowledge). Here is my xorg.conf file.

I recently did a clean install to upgrade to 10.10 and I also got a 2nd monitor recently after upgrading. I want to be able to connect remotely to my desktop like I used to from my phone, but when I connect I get a black screen the size of my full desktop(both monitors) and I can move the mouse/type.

I know it can be done, I just need to know what the hardware is called. There is a community center in the area and I might have a chance to help out. Due to not enough funding the center was only able to get One PC and five monitors. What I hope to be able to do ( and know its possible ) is get the hardware to make each monitor is own terminal with keyboard and mouse.

I'm running 9.04 jaunty. I made a file in gimp and saved it as .xcf. I want it to be a pdf file, so I try opening it with open office drawing, but it keeps opening it with the word processor instead. The word processor starts the file if I do a right-click 'open with' on the file on my desktop, and even if I use open from the file menu in drawing itself. I'm wondering what to do to get drawing to open this file. Is it that .xcf is not supported by drawing?

I've been looking for a simple 3d drawing programme, and found a video on ..... of Rhondaforever, which seems to be just what I wanted.It is written for windows, but a post in their forum indicates that it works in Wine.To get to the download, you need to register,which I did, but no download page appeared.I've sent an email to the moderator,and another to someone who registered after me, but no replies yet (2 days).

I would like to adjust Xinerama to place 1 desktop on each of my 2 monitors and not stretch a single over both. With the current set up there is a problem with window placement upon opening new widows or context dialog boxes. I realize that I could adjust placement properties and select window placement with the mouse but this is still lacking in productivity. My monitors are not next to on another so this is more of a problem than it seems.

Is there some way to enable drawing a Japanese character with the mouse ?
something like IME pad for windows would be perfect. I looked at Anthy and the romanji to kanji works fairly well but it is lacking a direct mouse input method.
Anybody know if this is possible to setup on 9.10 Ubuntu ? I tried upgrading and that resulted in a big mess.

I am looking to draw a curve for a given set of coordinates using java. For example;
(1,2)
(2,4)
(3,6)
I am aware that a straight line graph can be drawn for a given coordinates using Jfree, but I am not sure about drawing the curve. Any hints on what might be a good java class to use.

I'm on F12 and looking for a CAD program that would allow me to design simple 2 dimensional scale drawings, that I can hand over to somebody else to follow my plans and make something from the plan. Can anyone recommend a suitable package that would allow me to do that?

I was wondering if there is a good program for drawing charts of fx programs. Flow charts, Gannt charts and such.I'm sure I can get openoffice to do it, but somehow I'm not comfortable with drawing anything in that program. I don't really know why. There is a nice program for it in the OpenSuse 11.2 with gnome, but I run KDE4. Is there a good recommendable program for this under KDE4?

A few months ago I found a program / tool that essentially used a scripting language to specify diagrams, but I can't find it anymore and cannot remember for the life of me what it is. It's not the python interface to dia. This program did not have any gui.

On my terminal only system ( no Xorg or guis ) I have a font rendering issue. In place of some symbols ( eg double-lines and some other miscellaneous line-drawing shapes) are generic diamonds. Attached is a fbgrab ( png format ) of elinks showing the problem. I have now configured elinks to only use single lines drawing characters ( which work fine ) for now as a work around. Here is my /etc/default/console-setup
Code:
# Change to "yes" and setupcon will explain what is being doing
VERBOSE_OUTPUT="no"
# Setup these consoles. Most people do not need to change this.
ACTIVE_CONSOLES="/dev/tty[1-6]"
[code]....
The numbers in the FONTFACE show the size of the font matrix. For example Lat2-Terminus20x10.psf is a font for codeset Lat2 with size of the font matrix 10x20 (i.e. 10 columns and 20 rows). If the number of columns is 8 then only the number of rows is specified. For example the font matrix of Armenian-Fixed15.psf has size 8x15.
In text video mode or if you use the RadeonFB kernel module only fonts whose font matrix has 8 columns can be used (that is the size should be a simple NUMBER rather than a NUMBERxNUMBER combination). The other fonts can be used only with framebuffer video modes and with the package 'kbd'. The console package 'console-tools' can not be used
with such fonts.
THE TERMINUS FONT:
The aim of the Terminus font is to reduce the eyes-fatigue when one has to read a lot. Currently this font supports only the Latin, the Cyrillic and the Greek scripts (the Lat15, Lat2, Lat7, CyrAsia, CyrKoi, CyrSlav, Greek, Uni2 and Uni3 codesets). The fonts with font face TerminusBold and size 14 or 16 are optimized for 8 pixels width glyph matrix (in most cases this means framebuffer). The fonts with font face TerminusBoldVGA and size 14 or 16 are optimized for 9 pixels width glyph matrix and can not be used with
framebuffer video modes.
The fonts with font face Terminus and size 14 or 16 can be used both with 8 and 9 pixels width glyph matrix. In the regular text video modes the width of the glyph matrix is 9
pixels. If you use the package svgatextmode then the width is 8 or 9 pixels and you probably know it. The Terminus font in this version of console-setup is version 4.26.

I upgraded in Ubuntu from 2.6.28-13 to 2.6.30 and now I get no line-drawing characters in applications like alsamixer; instead they are replaced by 127-bit chars like 'lqqk'. As a coder, I'd really like to understand what happened - what changed (file in /etc?) affecting terminal capabilities, and what does the kernel have to do with it .
PS: the distro is Jaunty and I used the debs at http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-mainline/:
Code:
linux-headers-2.6.30-020630_2.6.30-020630_all.deb
linux-headers-2.6.30-020630-generic_2.6.30-020630_i386.deb

I have a Dell inspiron 1525 laptop with a 1280x800 display and an external 1280x1024 monitor. I'm using 9.04 with openbox. I've done a loooot of online reading about how to get a dual monitor setup using xrandr, and I really don't know what I'm missing here. So here's the deal: I want to have my external monitor on the left of the laptop's display, and of course I want each of them to display different parts of the desktop.
First I set up the right resolution to each one of them (I do it using lxrandr). Typing xrandr -q in a terminal, I get the following:

When I plug in my second monitor the 3D cube disappears and I only have the desktop wall thing with a rectangle box from which to select which desktop I want to go to.
I have enabled multi monitor setting in Compiz, tried both one big cube and two separate cube settings but none work.
