Ubuntu :: Fullscreen Application Hangs?
Apr 6, 2011
ll the time for me and when they do, I can't do anything.The typical case for me:Trying to run something, application hangs.The screen is either black or an image of the previous used app (aka not responding).This is when i try all sorts of key-combinations to get out of it to either get to a console or some other way to shut the crashed application down, but since the application is crashed and all the keys are overrided (either that or not responding), I cant do anything.Things I've tried pressing:
ctrl+alt+delete (you never know if something useful will happend (: )
ctrl+alt+f1 (I actually thought this would work, but no)
alt+tab (this was my second hope!)
[code]....

When I click on fullscreen (.....) PC hangs completely. I need to hard reset it. This is happening almost everyday.
Tried deselecting the hardware acceleration but no improvements.
Even in window mode flash is making the system very shaky.
Using FF 5.

I have two Ubuntu 10.4 machines (and Ubuntu continues to hide more and more xorg.conf config such that I no longer know where to find it). One is a laptop running dual headed - DP1 is the internal screen, and VGA1 is an external monitor; both are running at 1600x900. The other machine is a desktop running both VGA1 and HDMI1 (which is actually a display port with a DVI adapter) at 1600x900. So in both instances my desktop is 3200x900. I run a VNC server on the laptop and connect to it (via SSH tunnel) from the desktop - when I press the full screen hot key, I get a 1600x900 view of the remote machine on one monitor, and half of my local desktop on the other monitor - the "full screen" only expands to fill one local monitor.
Normally this is exactly what you want when you full screen a web browser, email client, or other application. I'm sure there's some X magic to make it clear what a full screen actually entails, and the vnc client application is just dutifully accepting what it's told. While I would like to keep the normal full screen behavior for regular applications, but when I'm VNCing to another 3200x900 machine, I'd really like full screen to stretch across both local displays. Resizing the window to be "close" isn't quite good enough since I still have local panels at the top and bottom of one display (though I can set them to autohide), plus the VNC client application window border (since it doesn't appear to respect -notitle).
Is there any good way to have X lie to a single application about the "full screen" size? Can I get it to lie to all applications? xrandr --noprimary appears to have no effect.

Currently using a 37" Visio as my main monitor I'd like to have the menu popout to fullscreen instead of just a quarter screen box. Is this possible? I've seen writeups on several configuration changers but non offer such an option.

I have developed a proprietary multithreaded application using Qt library version 4.2.1 on RHEL 4 platform. The application communicates with different external interfaces using serial communication using well defined protocols. For each system I have a thread that handles data acquisition and processing, it sets an update flag which is read by the GUI thread to update GUI after specified number of seconds. The incoming data from external systems is processed and updated on GUI at certain intervals. Each system update rate on GUI is different. Generally it is 1 second. Their rate of sending data is different and is generally 1Hz, 5 Hz and 10 Hz. For systems with string data I have no issues. But some systems send raw data and I have to process every byte of the entire packet, for which I have to use for loops. Now my problem is if I keep the update rate of GUI for such systems less than a fixed number of seconds (which I have to calculate by hit and trial) the application hangs after sometime. I have tested this system exlusively by switching of all other systems and it hangs standalone.
This leads me to conclude that timing of GUI update is what is causing the application to hang. Also I read somewhere on the net that in multithreading application timers play an important role and slight variation in timing can lead to hung applications. As of now I have kept 5 seconds as the GUI update time and app runs fine. Can somebody suggest something else which might be the cause?Note that I have used mutexes, wait conditions and all necessary tools which are used in multithreading app. But it is only the timer on which I could pin down the issue.

I am facing the following issue. My application runs perfectly in red hat linux(32bit, 64bit physical m/c and 32 bit vmWare m/c) and in one version of centOS(32bit physical m/c - don't remember the version:Sorry). However when I am running the same application in CentOS 5.4 (64bit version) I face the following issues -
a. the application gets stuck in the conditional wait even though the signal is sent after the application has moved to conditional wait. b. vsftpd service start fails from within the application even though the service starts and stops peroperly from console.

I am trying to install Ubuntu 10.10 x64 on a HP Pavilion p6565uk.
My PC is x64 compatible, although ubuntu will not install.
I don't get to any gui, it says ubuntu will continue install in 5 seconds, at 0, nothing happens. The CPU light is flashing, but nothing happens.
After about 10 minutes, it reboots, but when the HP splash screen shows (Before the boot selection screen) it just hangs. I have to do a hard shutdown to boot back up.
I am using wubi for install.

I've downloaded VideoLan (VLC) via Yast but the icon was placed in the audio folder. How do I move it to the video player folder? Also, where are additional icons stored? I run SuSE 11.2 (boxed version) with KDE.

So, I have this application called Impact, it is an explicit time integration Finite Elements code written in Java...
[url]
I untar the pack, and launch the application calling a script, from within the untarred folder,
Code:
This launches a gui which allows me to setup a case, which needs some setup file, tipically some *.in and a mesh file, tipically some *.msh.
Other mode of executuion consists of calling the setup file as argument to Impact.sh script ( CLI execution mode, for g33k5 )
My problem is : I have packed the whole stuff into a Slackware .tgz, that places it in /usr/local/Impact, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin,
Code:
Code:
I decided to hack the ImpactGUI_OGL_linux_amd64.sh script from
Code:
Code:
no avail,
Code:
even after adding /usr/local/Impact/bin to PATH... won't go...
I can run this thing from within its directory... but I do not like messing within the directories of my applications, this is why I sent this to /usr/local, and placed a calling script in /usr/local/bin...

How do i fullscreen wow across two monitors in ubuntu? I am running ubuntu 10.04 with two 1024x768 lcd monitors running from a Nvidia 9800gt graphics card running in twinview. I ant to maximixe WoW(World of Warcraft)(running under wine) as fullscreen across both screens. The WoW client recognizes a resolution option of 2048x768, but when i apply it, it squeezes it onto one monitor. how to fullscreen across both?
And i have removed the touching sides of the monitor cases so the screens touch directly so it is feasible to play.
also, i am using the latest nvidia drivers

I have been running into trouble with SDL programming. When my program hangs in fullscreen mode I can't find any way to get back to xwindows. Several times I have had to shut off my computer and restart. Is there some way to minimize or window a fullscreen application? I am using Ubuntu 9.10.

I have found on two computers that in AisleRiot, if you remove the status bar and menu bar, and go to full screen, there is no way back. Every time the program starts it is full screen, and even if you can get to the "Leave fullscreen" button, it still reverts to full screen almost immediately.I have tried deleting all the aisleriot folders under .gconf/ but it still behaves in the same way.

I am trying to troubleshoot an application that is generating several segfaults with an error 14, but the application is not crashing.The program continues to run. I would assume I can connect to a running process to debug it, but I'm not sure what to gather. The program has several background processes associated with it so I'm sure I'll need to attach to the actual internal process. Does anyone have any experience in this to offer some insight?

Why does flash perform so badly in fullscreen mode but not when out of it? [URL]... that is a 1080p flash video that runs completely smoothly for me when not in fullscreen mode, but after entering it the frame rate drops significantly. Am I the only one affected by this? Is there a way to fix this?
My computer is 64 bit and is running flash 10.42

1. while playing any video file in VLC or any other player, i try to fullscreen or back to normal then the VLC just stopped for 5-7 seconds, video is running but in the screen it does not show running just sound comes.
2. while i open firefox or maximize it from clicking on taskbar, it take time similar thing the nautilus do when its going to maximize.
i don't know what the problem is, sometimes i feel it is because of compiz and emerald effact, but when i was ubuntu8.10 user, there was not such problem, it runs smooth.

Any 1 who uses Linux knows that one problem with many distros (if not all) can't play flash videos fullscreen and change volume at the same time. Very very very very annoying.
But I think I might have come across a fix possibly probably not but who knows!!!
Here is the story. I was on my windows partition playing some games, but i also wanted to watch hulu on my second screen. To my amazement flash would exit full screen (on second screen) when it became out of focus because of a click on my main screen. so i did a search on the web and they have a flash hack that keeps it from exiting when it loses main focus. This is what we need!! can some1 with slightly more hacking know-how then me make this hack work for us over on linux?
here is the link

When I run apps like ZSNES or XBMC in fullscreen their output is clipped at the bottom. It's like their output is shifted down about 20%.Here are some screenshots of the two appsI'm running Ubuntu 10.04 64bit with an Intel card. I get the same behavior with desktop effects on and off.uname -a Linux fry 2.6.35-25-generic #44-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 21 17:40:44 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linuxy video is output to my TV via a VGA cable. nless one of these apps is running in full screen, everything is fine. In fact, I can even run VLC or Movie Player in full screen with no problems.

I run Ubuntu 10.10 netbook edition. Whenever I start Firefox, the window is displayed in fullscreen without the usual controls (close, maximize and minimize). It even covers up the application bar on the left. As far as I can see, this issue only occurs with firefox. Other apps are not affected.

Whenever i maximize the view on both VLC or MoviePlayer, the applications crash. When i maximize Nautilus, it gives me a black screen. It doesn't even happen all the time (sometimes maximizing VLC will give me audio, but a black screen).I helped myself with disabling compiz by entering "metacity --replace", but i sure want compiz on.
