I know how to manage them from a commandline but I was wondering if there are any graphical partition editors that understand and work with lvm2?

I'm not a Linux noob, but I am far from guru. I'm running a single board computer with a slightly customized Debian Etch (customized by the SBC vendor). No Gnome/KDE/X installed. My application is a control application which uses SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) to paint some basic graphics on the VGA. I need to run it as root because the application calls iopl() to access an IO port.If I run my application manually from the command line, life is sweet. From Googling around, I found http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28, and hence I:1) Created a script in /etc/init.d2) Executed "update-rc.d scriptName defaults" to link the script into the boot sequenceAll very straightforward. My application starts at boot. But when I try to SSH/SFTP into the SBC, I get "Connection refused". So I can't manage the SBC anymore, and this is a big problem. I am not sure if it's relevant, but my application starts before the SSH daemon.My script looked like:
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting my application"

Requirements - 1) Should have options to show only graphical packages.2) Easy to use.Software-center is outdated and packagekit doesn't work well (search for 'winff' with graphical packages filter) with any backend.

I tried using the terminal and after few minutes I got the following message:

My desktop machine has U 10.10, Gnome, Compiz, Cairo dock. After a lengthy session with lots of programs and windows open, hitting the shutdown or restart or logout buttons don't produce anything at all. Suspend works. Sudo shutdown -h now in a terminal window works. Why the graphical ways of shutting down don't work?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to switch from debian to fedora (13) and I'm stuck at getting yum to remove leave dependencies.
So far I've installed "yum-plugin-remove-with-leaves" and I'm able to remove leave dependencies if I invoke yum with the "--remove-leaves" argument from command line.
But this doesn't work with graphical front ends and I want to remove unused leave dependencies every time if I remove a package not just if I remember to invoke yum with the "--remove-leaves" argument.
Later on I discovered an option in "/etc/yum/pluginconf.d/remove-with-leaves.conf" named "remove_always = 1" and uncommented it. But yum doesn't seem to care. I still need to add the "--remove-leaves" argument otherwise yum isn't going to remove the leave dependencies.
How to configure yum to handle dependencies the way I used to know from apt under debian? Install a package with a graphical front end and dependencies get pulled in as needed. Uninstall a package later on and dependencies installed in the first place are removed as well if not needed by anything installed in between.
I've tried Linux video editors like Kdenlive and OpenShot, but their text editors for adding text are funky and not very user-friendly.Do any Linux video editors have and easy text editor like MS MovieMaker has?

He wants to use Linux because of wine, ktorrent, xchat, the virus thing, and because of the gui package manager.

because 'at' is such a common word. i found this bug [URL] but the mentioned work around doesn't work.
i can make at work with command line if i enter the a tty to make the output to.
example of what i do is:

ive edited my xorg and now when i start up ubuntu I cannot see the login interface
View 9 Replies View RelatedRecently my Ubuntu has started dropping to bash shell instead of starting the graphical login. It first asks me login name and password(in the shell) then gives me a command line. I can then type startx to start it. It seems to start alright but that is not how it is supposed to work.
Doed anyone know how I can get it back to default behavior?
I am using 10.04. The grub is working properly but i can't login in graphical environment because the system stops at the ubuntu boot logo. However, TTY is working properly and i am able to login in all the tty [F1-F6]. I think the problem is with xserver but I don't know how to fix it.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to start the x graphical interface without using GDM. I may be using the wrong terms here for x. Maybe it is called xdm or x11 or something.) I have set GDM to login without asking me for a password (I am the only user of this machine.) Sometimes, it still pops up the GDM login screen and if I select "actions" "reboot" (my memory tells me that is what it was,) it will reboot without asking to login, but the fonts are all wrong. If I select "apps" "restart" and it DOESN'T ask for my login, all is OK.
I would like to uninstall GDM, and place whatever GDM uses to start the graphical interface into the /ect/rc2.d startup scripts. I know GDM does other stuff then just logs me in and starts the graphical user interface, and I think I would like to maintain some of that, but I think I would like to manually insert the startup sequence in the startup scripts. Question one, can someone tell me where to look to find out what GDM is doing now so I can attempt to replicate it?
#2, does someone know the startup script line(s) to start the x server and graphical interface without GDM? I think this has bees asked before, but it seems hard to search older posts.
I'm trying to run multiple Graphical sessions. How can I do this? I have read the forum article from 2006 but I get an error when executing startx --:2 [URL]

If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.

I installed the newest Flash player in an update a few days ago, and now ever since last night, every time I watch a Flash video I get graphics problems. It looks as if the Flash video is stuck in the centre of the screen and if anything black (text, notifications) are in the way, they show the video behind them. Hard to explain what I mean Nothing shows up when I run ps ax.
In addition, all Flash videos are now jumbled up with pixels and weird looking glitches.
- Happens with Firefox, Minefield, and Chromium.
- Using latest proprietary NVIDIA drivers available in Jockey
- NVIDIA Geforce 8400m graphics
- Restarting or using Ctrl-Alt-Backspace always fixes the problem.
i saw few themes in some demo videos.in those themes after pressing close button window collapses or breks into pieces.in some themes window closes with a flash light.it gives a look of disappearing.what are these themes called?where can i download them?or can we get those effects by changing settings?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a 500GB hard disk, /dev/sda. On it, there is /dev/sda1 for /boot, /dev/sda2 for an LVM PV (physical volume), and /dev/sda3 for another /boot (multiple Linux distros, one boot partition for grub legacy, another for grub2). so the LVM2 partition, /dev/sda2, is taking up ~465GiB. I want to add another OS (non-Linux), so I resized the *lvm2 physical volume* to 320GiB, successfully, using pvresize.
However, I now need to resize the partition so the lvm2 physical volume only just fits on it, ie to 320GiB. My plan of action is to use gparted (the partition table is GUID, so fdisk won't work), to first delete the partition from the partition table, then re-add it but this time with a smaller value (~320GiB). The problem is that I need to know exactly how many MiB/cylinders the physical volume is taking up. So, I run:
Code:
root@sysresccd /root % pvdisplay
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sda2
VG Name vg0
[code]....
What one of these values do I need to set the new lvm2 replacement partition to?
When I installed Ubuntu, I created an 52 gb encrypted partition which shows up in the disk utility, and in the window that opens when I click on the "home folder" icon. I get my normal windows partition, and under that the 52 GB LVM2 partition. But when I try to access it, I get this error.
Unable to mount 52 GB LVM2 Physical Volume - not a mountable file system
This is what fdisk -l shows
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 52 409600 27 Unknown
Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.
/dev/sda2 52 30452 244193280 7 HPFS/NTFS

How can I fix this, and be able to access that 52gb partition? This is only my second day that I work with Ubuntu, so If more information is needed then let me know
I just installed the Catalyst drivers under FC13 (package xorg-x11-drv-catalyst-10.9-1.fc13.i686 ) and I am superhappy, as it worked straight out of the box.

I have a question, that may be super dumb as I couldn't find anything related while searching. But is it possible to run Linux with a window manager without GTK+ or Qt and still have a graphical web browser, music/movieplayer? I ask because I am trying to load a slim, streamlined linux without any part of KDE or Gnome for my eeepc 1000.Unfortunately a lot of apps seem to require GTK+ or Qt (which I believe requires some part of Gnome or KDE respectively). I would like to keep it as slim as possible.If it is not possible to completely separate from the toolkits I will look into deciding on which one would best fit my needs. Currently I have LXDE Salix OS and it seems to be doing OK. Although, to be honest I find even LXDE kind of busy for the little screen.I'd like to dual boot straight Slackware with Fluxbox or Openbox and one or two dockapps or some such to monitor battery, network connections and a clock.
