Ubuntu :: Does KDE Work Differently / Can Different Xserver Be Cause Of KDE Not Working
May 29, 2010
Now I tried installing the KDE destop enviremont, the install went just fine but when I try to log into KDE I see the startup screen for a second then everything goes dark.It stays that way in the background i think the desktop is there because the mouse cursor is there, I can move it around but that's all.Does KDE work differently and so can the different xserver be the cause of KDE not working?

It does this all the time whenever I reboot and I hadn't rebooted my PC in months simply because it's a GOD DAMN pain to figure this crap out. I need a REAL fix.
My computer turns off and boots, it goes directly into Recovery Menu. It refuses to boot normally. I load low graphics mode, it doesn't even let me make changes to the configuration file, OR let me have ONE session in low graphics mode. I've tried reconfiguring xserver, re-installing nvidia drivers, STILL the same effing garbage. It's starting to **** me off. I'm mostly a Linux noob, and I hate trying all these "tips" that don't work to make my stupid display work. I use gnome. Any advice, tips whatever to make this work? If you need something, I'll try my best to get it but I'm on my other computer right now so displaying my configuration files will be a pain. :/ Before I installed vesa, low graphics mode wouldn't work because it said the vesa module didn't exist and it also said no screens.

I had my Lenovo T60 laptop working on Ubuntu 10.10 with visual effects and everything except for one thing the screen would flicker constantly I began to fiddle around with the Xserver trying to fix the flickering but I somehow regressed and am now unable to use visual effects. The Xserver fails to load any devices when I try to start it. Included is a copy of my xorg.conf file.
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 260.19.06 (buildmeister@builder101) Mon Sep 13 07:06:38 PDT 2010

I'm running Linux Mint 10, although I've had this same issue with other variants of Linux. I've been told/found while researching that if the X server hangs or otherwise errors, one can drop to a root prompt, usually at another tty, and execute init 3 (to drop to single user mode) and then init 5 to return to the default, graphical session. Needless to say, I've tried this before in multiple configurations on multiple machines to no avail.
The only feedback I receive form executing those two commands is a listing of VMWare services (from a kernel module) that are stopped and then restarted. If I run startx (either before or after init 3), then I am told that the xserver is still running and that I should remove /tmp/.X0-lock. Having tried that, it removes that error message, but claims that the xserver cannot be attached as another instance is running. How do I kill the xserver completely? Can I killall some process name?

I made some changes to the Nvidia Xserver settings and now I get no signal to my monitors. I also have grub configured to only display the main ubuntu kernel and windows so there are no recovery options. How do I restore Xserver to working or default values?

I'm trying to generate MD5 hashtext within gnome-terminal that will match that generated by PHP running on a live web server. However, when I hash the same text I get completely different results!
Code:
<?php md5('testing123') ?> ===> 7f2ababa423061c509f4923dd04b6cf1
bash$ echo 'testing123' | openssl md5 ===> bad9425ff652b1bd52b49720abecf0ba
Could this be a character set problem? My terminal is running UTF-8, but even if I change it to ISO-8859-1, the hashtext that's generated is the same. Also tried using md5sum with a text file, saved in various character encodings, but still got the same [wrong] hashtext. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10, tried running the local hash in both gnome-terminal 2.28.1 and the CTRL+ALT+F1 console.

I have plugins for viewing pdf files in both Opera and Firefox. Most pdf files opens embedded in the browser, just as I want. But there is some pdf files I am prompted to save before I can open, just as if the pdf is not recognized as a pdf ? A closer look shows that this pdf's are made using pdf-printers, drawing programs and other non-Adobe programs. It probably misses some Mime coding or other things that Adobe distiller puts into native pdf's ? How can I make the browser/system/plugin/acroread only care about the extension, and not the creator ?

I'm trying to replicate the behavior of the sha1sum executable in some java code, however, in the process I've discovered that sha1sum appears to behave differently given the same input in two scenarios.
Assume input of '12345' without the single quotes and with no newline.
If I put this data into a file (file1) and run sha1sum from the command line:
However, if I do this, I get a different result:
Using the apache commons-codec jar, I'm able to read in file1, get it's contents, and perform a .shahex() on the content and get the first result. However, I need to get the second result (due to legacy code) and I can't figure out why sha1sum is behaving differently, or what grep is doing to the input.
The system is running CentOS 5.4 with sha1sum 5.97

Some time ago I optimised my fonts following dugan's great tutorial. I mostly used Seamonkey to browse so I didn't notice the difference until today I ran Firefox. The font preferences seem to be identical, yet the fonts look differently on each browser. See the attachments (the browser on the left-hand side is Seamonkey)

Why does on some computers my terminal window have a background I can see through and on others its a solid color? I have Ubuntu 10.04 installed on 4 machines as base OS and I have many virtual machines of it also. I havent changed the terminal preferences on any of them, however on some computers the terminal background which is purple is not solid in that you can see what is in the background behind it. On others the background is truly solid purple; you can not see behind/through it.
Is there any way to change the terminal window for these machines that are displaying solid to the 'see-thru' way? Ive been using some ebooks and things and really like opening up vi/vim in the purple see-thru window that allows me to write and see the text in the background...however on some machines I can not do this because the terminal display is truly solid. ? All my computers have the same profile settings for terminal..
color = use system theme
background = Solid color
Note - I am making a distinction here between what I call see-thru and the 'transparent' setting in the terminal preferences as this seems to use the desktop background and is different from what I am talking here.

So I ran a software in both KDE and Gnome respectively and it seems both of them have separate displays. By that I mean, one is displaying a part of the string(a Label) and the other is not displaying the string at all. I will include some relevant information such as the software uses SWT kit. Also the string is displayed perfect in Windows. If it's still not clear I will sum it up in a sentence. I am trying to display a label using SWT kit and, its being displayed correctly on Windows,partially correct on KDE(Half of the string) and not displayed on Gnome.
I have tried GridDat.grabExcessHorizontalSpace=true, but it didn't. how to approach the problem otherwise?

I have an initscript that behaves slightly differently in the UK than it does in the US. Not a huge issue, but I'd like to know why and how to fix it. I imagine it has something to do with localization, but I'm at a loss as to what it could be, as it's just bash.
in the UK:
Code:
[root@server ~]# /etc/init.d/worker
status}
in the US:

I am making a backup on an ntfs disk, mounted with:
using the following command:
Running this (or rather the shell script containing it) from the command line is OK, but if I run it as a cron job, I get thousands of messages:
(without line breaks, actually).
These files are all ordinary files made under Windows; the above should read "offici�le stukken", and from the command line it does, but not in cron.
I guess I need to set an environment variable, but which one?

I have created a simple menu driven script for our Operations to take care of the basic monitoring and managing of our production application from the back-end. Now, the script when tested in UAT environment was fine, but when deployed to production it kind of behaved oddly.hen the Operator chooses an option from the menu he is given the output and at the end is prompted to return to the main menu by using ctrl+c. In production, this return does not occur for some strange reason and the program just sits there.The session becomes unresponsive after that and I'm forced to terminated it by closing the PuTTY.I tried enabling the debug mode too (set -x) and still was not able to find any useful hints/trails as to why.

I'm opening this thread following the topic forum organization. The original thread are onAs above described, I changed all my system root to bind user and getting back to root. But a consequence of that are vary and maybe take some time to get resolved, but the topic of the thread is:I can't see the mount points on Places for all my drives (included HDD, CD/DVD and USB's). I doesn't use mkdir + mount strategies, because, I had some estrange troubles with, about that later, when I want to use the front end the drives don't mountEx.:Graphical: Click on Places > Filesystem 1GB = mounted on /media/MYBRANDon terminal: mount /dev/hda1 /media/usbstick = mounted on /media/usbsticGraphical: Click on Places > Filesystem 1GB = mounted randomly on /media/usbstick or /media/MYBRAND or doesn't mount.

I'm currently trying to get the game "Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory" working on a second XServer. So far, it runs nicely. However, I've got no sound which probably definitely isn't even connected to the game itself but rather PulseAudio, the XServer or the Ubuntu implementation:Sound on the 1st XServer (desktop) works perfectly. As soon as I start the game on the second XServer (and automatically switch to it), desktop sound is suspended (Totem even crashes) while there is no sound coming from the game. Also, people can't hear me talking on Mumble. When I switch back to the Desktop I can hear the game's (i.e. the second XServer's) sound, can listen to music again and people also hear me on Mumble again (and vice versa). A look at pavucontrol tells me that Enemy Territory is accessing and using the correct audio device. Switching back to the game yields the same result as 2)
Further notes:I have added my user account to the audio group. When started on the first XServer, Enemy Territory runs well and with sound. However, this is no solution for me as it affects the game's performance and I can't minimize the game then.)
Ideally, I'd like to continue listening to music and using Mumble while playing Enemy Territory. But first of all, sound in ET has to work at all.
At the moment I'm completely confused and don't even know where to look for an answer. I have found several bugs that might be involved in this which I'd like to mention for documentation purpose. The proposed solutions (1. using ck-launch-session, 2. running PulseAudio in daemon mode) haven't worked for me, though: [URL]
Unfortunately, I can't remember whether sound worked on the second XServer when I installed the game the last time (because there were other problems preventing me from playing it). According to this guy it did.
I'd be grateful for any hints that might point me in the direction of solving the issue. If necessary, I'd also get my hands dirty and look for the bug in the source code. If I just knew where to start? So, even if you don't have a solution for me, you can maybe answer the following? In Ubuntu, is sound (PulseAudio) supposed to be associated with an XServer instance? If so, is it only the X session currently being displayed which is allowed to play sound? Or should the sound of all sessions get mixed and be played no matter which X session is active?
PS: I'm running Ubuntu 9.10.

I have compiz fusion and an ATI card (FGLRX driver) installed. This means that my windows are painfully slow to resize/min/max. This has bugged me for awhile, but apparently someone found a fix, as specified in: 107_fedora_dont_backfill_bg_none.patch
[Basically, they commented out most of a function].
how do I apply this patch? It causes problems for people using KDE on intel cards, but that won't bother me since I'm AMD on gnome.

So, after the last Update, my PC crashes when trying to load Xserver. I can boot in the "recovery mode" from grub and then choose "resume" from the menu. This takes me to tty1. From there if I try to startx my computer crashes again and I'm left with a black screen with no hints as to what went wrong. I even tried
Code:
But the file stays empty because apparently my computer hangs before it has the chance to write anything to it.
Finally, I went to the /etc/X11 directory and searched for any xorg.conf backup files. I only found a xorg.conf.fglrx-0 which I renamed to xorg.conf and tried to load xserver again with the exact same result.
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't work either.

Recently upgraded to 11.04 - everything was working well in 10.04. However, running programs in wine (or running wincfg) now causes the xserver to lockout after a random interval. At best, I get dumped back to the gdm, at worst it needs a hard reboot. I've tried using wine versions 1.3 and 1.2, but both cause the same problem. I've also tried installing ldfontconfig from 10.04 as I read that this was a resolution for people having similar issues, but no joy.
I'm running 64 bit ubuntu, and have an ati graphics card
This is a real deal breaker for me - I need MSOffice, but really don't want to go through the hassle of downgrading to 10.04.

Have to say I am loving the new Ubuntu (Lucid), however I have the same problem I do every time I upgrade and that is the maximize/minimize delay in Firefox or any open window for that matter. In the past I have installed a deb file called xserver-nobackfill and it fixes the problem, but I cannot find one for Lucid. I try an older version and it tells me a newer version is already installed. I know Lucid just came out yesterday, but I wondered if someone knew where to look, or something to try
