Ubuntu / Apple :: Kubuntu Doesn't Display Properly / What To Do?

Feb 26, 2011

I have an Apple iBook (ancient I know) and whenever I boot from the Live CD (Kubuntu 10.10) it boots up in 800x600 (as far as I can tell that's what it is). This would be a problem however it simplely leaves a huge black column on the right side and has a partially duplicated desktop below it.
When I go to display settings it won't let me change to a higher resolution (1024x768 is what the iBook natively runs at).
This is an iBook G3.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Doesn't Display Site Menus Properly?

Oct 17, 2010

I'm using Firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 10.10 with the smooth-scaling ppa (only addons I'm using are Firebug and the Ubuntu modifications pack).Several sites with navigation menus the menu is spread over two lines when it obviously shouldn't be (eg. The Telegraph online, BBC News...) this happens no matter what the zoom level is set to. Chromium renders all these pages normally.

Ubuntu :: Gnome Shell Alt-tab Menu Doesn't Work?

May 14, 2011

I'm trying out gnome-shell right now and for some reason, when I use the alt-tab shortcut, it switches to the next window and then the menu immediately disappears, so I have no ability to look at the detailed menu option. This might have something to do with me having changed a lot of my keyboard shortcuts in regular gnome. For example, I use super-tab rather than mod4-tab. Also, my key to call up the shell is caps lock because my other two super keys (super and right control) are all assigned to various keyboard shortcuts.

Ubuntu :: Firefox Doesn't Display Italic Text Under GNOME 3?

May 7, 2011

I am posting this under "Desktop Environments" because this does not occur under Unity, nor under KDE (tested with Kubuntu live-CD).

I run Firefox 4.0.1 on Ubuntu 11.04, having installed GNOME 3 via PPA. The following HTML file is not displayed correctly in Firefox:

Code:
<html>
<body>
<p>This is <em>italic text</em>.</p>

Ubuntu Installation :: Gnome Shell Replace Doesn't Work - No Application Launcher In Upper Left Hand Corner

Mar 4, 2010

So, supposedly Gnome Shell is available through synaptic. I just downloaded and installed it and then ran gnome-shell --replace. It doesn't work at all. I hit the windows key and get nothing and there is no application launcher in the upper left hand corner and Alt-f2 produces nothing at all. Alt-tab gives me the option of choosing the windows that were running when I ran gnome-shell --replace but nothing else works at all. Just a vast expanse of digital nothingness. Does anyone know why this might be? I have an nvidia video card (see sig below) and two monitors running from "twin view".

Ubuntu :: Switch Desktop Shell From Unity To Gnome-shell?

Apr 14, 2011

Is there any way I can switch my desktop shell from unity to, say, gnome-shell? I can switch using other console shell I like (bash, csh, fish, etc.). Assume that there is a stable alternative desktop shell, I should be able to choose, too.

(For console shell, we goes to /etc/passwd. But for desktop, I can't find the way to config.)

OpenSUSE :: 11.4 Gnome 2.3 Display - CRTC Error That The Display Is Over The Maximum - 1920x1920

Apr 16, 2011

I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4 64bit and I have installed the AMD Display drivers for my Radeon HD 5970. Everything seems to be working quite well. I have a multiple monitor setup (1280x1024 monitor and a 1920x1080 monitor).

I have my primary display set to 1920x1080, however when I try to enable the second display, I get a CRTC error that the display is over the maximum (1920x1920). If I enable both monitors at lower resolutions, there is no problem.

I have done a fair bit of reading and have been unable to determine where this maximum is set, or how to change it. I'd like to be able to run both monitors at their native resolutions.

Ubuntu :: Burg Will Not Display Properly?

Sep 16, 2010

I recently installed Burg on my three sig computers and like it very much. I'm having trouble on one of my desktops (AMD 9950BE Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64), I installed it like I did the other 2 but this one initially boots to the standard grub2 menu, and if I press "c" to enter the grub console and exit from it, Burg starts and works normally for that session.

I've spent quite a bit of time comparing files to my Laptop with a working burg and except for HD and partitions these files compare:

Code:
grub.cfg
burg.cfg
/etc/default/grub
/etc/grub.d/*.*
/etc/burg.d/*.*

Ubuntu :: Xubuntu - Won't Display/render Properly

Jun 26, 2010

I just installed Xubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx on an Intel 1.5GHz, 500 MB RAM, 128 MB video card system, 80 GB hard drive (it's a 5 year old system)....My system meets the requirements according to this [URL]

But for some reason, things aren't displaying correctly. The best way to describe it is that it's almost like Xubuntu can't "repaint" the graphics correctly. So I see distorted lines or text that doesn't render completely.

Ubuntu :: Xorg Not Detecting Display Properly

Aug 10, 2010

I am new to Ubuntu.I have used Gentoo Linux for about ten years, but got to a point in my life where fixing problems is not as much fun as it used to be. I just need something that works, and so I switched to Ubuntu.So recently, I decided to hook up my desktop computer to my 40" LCD TV. It's running an onboard Nvida geforce 7150 with 256 MB of RAM. It's got an HDMI out put that I'm running directly to my TV. The problem is, it's not detecting the size of the TV quite properly, and I lose the top and bottom of the screen, where my gnome menus and icons are. I can't boot into recovery mode because it no longer shows me my grub menu. I can't reconfigure X because I can't stop X from running. Not sure that it would help anyway. I do still have the LCD that it worked with before that I could hook up if need be, but I'd really prefer not to have to move it to where the TV is.I'm running the latest Ubuntu for AMD64, with a 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo and 2GB of RAM. Any advice?

Ubuntu :: GCompris Does Not Display Properly In Unity?

May 5, 2011

I recently upgraded from Maverick to Natty (64-bit NOT a clean install).

Now when I start Gcompris I get a white rectangle on a black screen.

I tried to uninstall - reinstall, but that did not work.

I switched to the gnome desktop and everythinh worked fine, so I suppose this is a Unity problem.

Hardware :: Shell Not Properly Visible On A Samsung LCD?

Feb 14, 2011

In our classroom we have a Samsung series 4 LCD Monitor (don't know the exact size but i think its > 32"). It is used as a secondary display and it is connected to a computer running Red Hat 6. When our teacher uses the GUI, it runs perfectly fine on the desktop monitor and the LCD monitor that is fixed on the wall, but when the terminal is opened it shows fine on the desktop monitor but on the Samsung LCD the output is cropped. I mean the left part of the terminal where the hostname and the shell prompt is displayed is not visible properly.

P.s. Also there seems to be a new problem with the display. Previously we used Red Hat 5.5 and the LCD monitor produced colors accurately. Now we have switched to Red Hat 6 and there seems to be a yellowish tinge to all the colors. Even the white font on the terminal looks like yellow! Is this a driver error? If so how can it be fixed.

Ubuntu :: Tripple Monitors In 10.1 - Cannot Get Display To Function Properly

May 20, 2010

I have been using an XFX 5770 with Windows 7 in EyeFinity and running a 5760x1080 resolution. My setup is as follows for Windows

x3 Viewsonic VA2223WM monitors (vga/dvi only)

I have two monitors connected connected with DVI and my 3rd monitor is connected with a DVI to Active Display port adapter, bizlink brand. This works wonderfully in Windows 7.

I cannot get my 3 displays to function properly in Ubuntu. I have tried removing the display port adapter and connecting my 3rd monitor with a DVI to HDMI cable and still no success. I can only use any of my 3 monitors in a dual configuration...how do I get the 3rd extended? Using the ATI driver that was auto downloaded for me...

Ubuntu :: Xorg Finally Properly Display Any Of Computers?

Oct 7, 2010

i've finally given up playing with xorg.. i've been with ubuntu since dapper, and wasted countless hours configuring ubuntu to properly display on 3 different computers. the old xorg configuration used to at least provide a functional xorg.conf to work with, but in lucid all i get is a bunch of gibber jabber (as Mr. T would say). why does my mouse need to load dri and xgl modules? this is just a mess.. the nouveau drivers don't display properly on 2 of the 3 computers and leaves all kinds of artifacts, nvidia drivers dont display proper resolutions on monitors that nv and nouveau do, and leaves artifacts at boot and shutdown, and nv doesn't display proper resolutions on 2 of the 3, and previous xorg.conf files that i've saved sometimes work with upgrades, and sometimes don't [end rant] Anyway, i give up, it's too much pain and wasted time, so i'm wondering if i overlooked a program or something that can actually properly create a new xorg.conf that will work with the newest ubuntu, or if any other linux distro can configure displays better then ubuntu..i've heard suze is much more friendly for nvidia users (can anyone confirm?) and i know puppy linux has an excellent configuration wizard for this that's worked on all 3 computers but puppy isn't what im looking for as a main os. will ubuntu EVER start providing reliable tools for this, rather than assuming that people arnt having problems because many of those that are simply go back to windows...?

Ubuntu Installation :: 11.04 Startup And Shutdown Screens Do Not Display Properly

May 2, 2011

The startup and shutdown displays are a series of vertical black and white lines, and the text displayed on them appears as more or less white blobs. Otherwise, the displays when 11.04 is running are fine, but this startup looks so naff it would be nice to change it so that the diplays can be read. I would hate to demonstrate Ubuntu to someone and have to explain such a display.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Save Firefox Display Page Properly ?

Jul 16, 2011

I am using firefox 3.6.18 in Ubuntu 10.04. My problem is that if I try to save some webpage in postscript or pdf format, I go to file>print>print-to-file option and choose output file as ps or pdf format. Now if I click to print, I do get the corresponding page saved in ps/pdf format but only the first page is printed(i.e., saved in ps/pdf format) this way, leaving major portion(may be eight pages for example) of the corresponding webpage unsaved. (the option: range of printing: all pages is chosen by default.) Why is this happening and what should I do to print the entire page? (one example is the following page which you may try to save in the way I described above: [url]

Fedora :: Screensaver Doesn't Kick In Or Display Doesn't Suspend/sleep?

Jul 25, 2009

Anyone noticing intermittent problems with the screensaver not kicking in or the display not sleeping? This is in gnome under F11.I have the Power Management Preferences set to put the display to sleep after 30 minutes of inactivity and gnome screensaver is configured for 5 minutes idle time.On a regular basis, I'll leave my computer come back anda) the screensaver hasn't kicked inorb) the screensaver kicked in, but the power management features didn't kick in to put the display to sleep.It seems to be an intermittent problem and usually it goes away after I restart X, but then at some point it comes back. In the past, I've gotten in the habit of being logged in for weeks/months at a time but I find that I can't go more than a few hours without logging out and back in or else the screen won't go to sleep.

Ubuntu :: Gnome 3 Vs Gnome Shell Vs Unity?

Apr 28, 2011

Please excuse my ignorance, but I need to get it straight. I've been reading and trying to find out more about these three new desktop environments, but still am rather confused. I have had Unity on my netbook for a couple of months now and know it inside out (more or less by now). The problem is: what is the main difference between Gnome 3 and Gnome Shell?

To my understanding Gnome 3 will be a continuation of the panelled Gnome we are so used to? But then I read the panels will be gone forever, so I'm confused again Gnome Shell is somewhat similar-looking to Unity, but I haven't had a chance to try it properly yet.

Debian :: Getting Unicode Characters (Japanese) To Display Properly?

Mar 3, 2009

I recently intalled Debian lenny and I'm having issues with some of the unicode characters. Instead of displaying the symbols properly it shows one of the following depending on font/app:

1) Square outline with four letters/numbers arranged inside
2) Just a blank square outline
3) Just a blank space

I haven't been able to test all possible characters, but from a quick check it seems that Cyrillic works properly, Japanese doesn't.A few Google searches later and I'm no wiser on how to fix the issue. Any help?
