I just upgraded to 11.04, and I'm having a recurring problem with the menu bar. You can no longer see it, instead it's all black with some strange grey lines. It still works, you just can't see anything.
View 1 RepliesI'd like to install Fedora 14 64bit as a dual boot on an existing win 7 32bit system. When I boot with the Live CD, after selecting "boot" in the Fedora boot selection menu, I get a grey screen with a white cursor, and the system freezes. I checked the Live CD on my laptop and it worked perfectly.

I've just installed Kubuntu 11.04, switched on wobbly windows effect. It runs very smooth on my Nvidia GeForce 7600 GS with dual screen twinview turned on. However, I get these lines when I drag/move the window upwards - see screenshot:

Reloading helps but has to be repeated when pageing down. Mail is no problem; it is supplied by my network provider. OS is openSUSE 11.2 which I update when advised. Below is a sample from the error console:

I've come across an unusual requirement for a service in my Ubuntu system.Simply put, I need to find a way to search for all instances of a term in a file, delete lines containing containing that term, and delete four lines below each instance of that term. ither that, or copy the entirety of a file to a new file and skip over all lines containing the term plus four below it.This sounds kinda weird, I know. Without going too far into detail, I either have to change the logfile format for a server I'm running which is a huge pain in the butt, or I can just run a script to edit an HTML report generated from said logs. (Said report is really just for managers to peruse, and I like my log format, so I'm pursuing option 2.)

After a few seconds the colour returns and functionality returns.This does not happen after a period of inactivity so I have no idea why this happens or for what reason.I've seen a similar post dated 2008 so it is surprising it is still occurring.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWell, the problem here seems to have started after I installed Gnome color changer and followed some directions on gnome-looks.org to install a certain theme (This one). Well after a while of messing around, and this not happening (I was never able to install the skin), I rebooted. When the desktop loaded, the background was covered by a big gray rectangle that covers the desktop. I say it covers because I can still see the original wallpaper through the transparent panels. Also, when I try to change the wallpaper, the computer becomes unresponsive and I have to force it to restart.
Anybody have any idea what it could be?
I was changing some settings in ATI Catalyst Control Center on my laptop; when I had my cursor on the contrast slider, the mouse slipped and slided the marker to the far left, removing all contrast; now, everything is dark grey (once I'm at the login screen, the very first bootup screens work) and I am unable to use my laptop.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis has been bothering me for a very long while now, but not enough for me to bother asking about it. I've looked up about the grey background in the tray in lucid, but I can't find anything where all my icons have the wrong background. This happened after I upgraded from karmic, and the problem only exists with the new themes.

I am having the problem enabling Bluetooth on my Dell studio 1555.
When I start System->Preference-Bluetooth Manager, I get message Connection to Bluez failed :

Bluetooth works perfect, when I boot lucid using live CD, So I guess there is some problem with the installation. I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4. It never worked with 9.10 and its continuing the same way.
After a restart, I see bluetooth icon, but its grey all the time. Two more screen shots..

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 powerpc on my powermac G5 and I am noticing some erratic behavior. I pressed ctrl + mute to see if there was a keyboard shortcut assigned to those keys and suddenly all the icons and theme changed to a nasty grey style. I can get the basic theme to go back minus the panels applications and icons. I had this problem on my laptop too and never found a solution (please see pic below of ppc). Also subsequently (and I don't think its connected necessarily) my keyboard has been not responding sporadically. I unplug it and wait for a min and then plug it back in and it seems to work again? Below are a few error messages that i found from the logs:

While using FireFox the application will sometimes turn a shade of grey. Almost as if the entire application is locked. Most times if I wait for a while it will "colorize" itself after a moment or two and I'm right back to doing whatever I was doing.,I was just wondering if anybody could tell me why this happens?
I have noticed that the AutoTen program does the same thing while an application is being installed. The terminal-style window will open and start doing all the important stuff, and the GUI will grey out until it's done... I just don't understand why FireFox would be doing this...
I've been messing around to try and play runescape (Java based) on my laptop. I run Lucid Lynx (in dualboot with vista) and have Java installed. Now I'm trying to get Runescape to work so I have even more reason to ban Vista completely. So I installed Java, and tried in firefox (3.6.6). It loads the log in, I log in, but then I get a grey screen with "applet started" in the status bar but nothing more.
When that didn't work I did some googling and tried it with SeaMonkey(2.0.4) - same result. Would another browser help or is there something else wrong?
I am a NOOB and I have just installed Fedora 14 as Ubuntu 10.04 crashed with low graphics mode and now no version of Ubuntu will install, anyway thats another issue. I decided to try fedora as it seems clean and very easy install but it seems to have some share of issues that I am discoving. To the point, Fedora 14 Network Manager shows the wireless tab as greyed out, I have googled about it but I am unable to fix this issue. I would be very grateful for anyones help as this computer has to stay connected to the cable until I am able to fix this.Computer is Dell laptop 1gb vr, 4gm ram, with Belkin n+ router

$ env | grep TERM
TERM=xterm
COLORTERM=gnome-terminal
I had to edit both my .muttrc and my vim colorscheme to change the background color from black to none in order to get a proper black background (or, more accurately, to retain the terminal's default black background). Setting it to black resulted in a dark grey background. This only happens with gnome-terminal; konsole, xterm and rxvt are fine.
I just installed Moonlight but except for the clock that starts running, buffering and connecting to the video server nothing else works.The screen stays grey and there is no sound. I thought it might work when I install Java applet, but also that doesn't fix.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I play a flash video in x86_64 with the latest 64bit flashplayer I will often get a grey rectangle after a few secs rather than playback. This is 100% reproducible if I restart firefox after playing a flash video and try to replay it.If I start firefox from a terminal I can see "invoke_NPP_Destroy: assertion failed:" type errors. Logging off and logging back on fixes, so I investigated which process needs to be restarted. Turns out to be gvfsd, so if you get a grey box do this in a terminal (as a normal user NOT as root)
Code:
killall gvfsd
/usr/libexec/gvfsd &
then refresh the page and all should be fine. (In fact the problem does not recur for an entire session until I login again) If others could report whether this fixes the same problem I can submit a bug report.
EDIT: I am using libflashplayer-10.0.32.18.linux-x86_64.so from here
Changing background to black and text to light seems to work I execute a command, sometimes the output comes out in this faint shade of grey.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI did not have this problem with OpenOffice in OpenSuse 11.3, it came after upgrading to 11.4. When typing some characters (these three: ?"!) a blank space (grey box) in inserted before them. If the next character is a "normal" one, the grey box disappears as soon as such next character is typed. But, if the next character is one of these three, or a space, the box stays there.
Being a local keyboard, I have to use the Shift key (? = Shift + key next to 0; " = Shift + 2; ! = Shift + 1). But, as you can see, only one of them (?) does differ from the USA keyboard, the other two ("!) are the same as for the USA keyboard. On the other hand, other characters requiring the Shift key (�$%&/()=) do not raise the grey box, so I do not think that the point be the local keyboard.
When I am using flash a lot of times it will just display a grey screen or just stops. I wanted to use Turbotax today but I can not because of this.
