I notice the colored syntax and keywords in the terminal - the green, the blue etc? I did this in my machine a long time. Now I cannot trace back to how I did this. I need to do this in a new machine right now.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an annoying text color problem. I don't know what to change to fix it. I have played around with System->Preferences->Appearance to no avail. Here is the problem: I am getting very light colored text so only the currently selected item is readable. The funny thing is that in Nautilus, Firefox, Chrome, Amarok, etc.. it's fine. It seems to be in only some programs in boxes with selectable line items, but also in the area that displays status updates in FileZilla. So I'm not sure how to pinpoint the problem.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Kubuntu 9.10 and I have a problem with my screen. I use the nvidia driver downloaded from the website, installed manually as I always do. I wanted to update it, but when I press ctr-alt-F1 to go to the console to stop kdm, I cannot see the usual black screen, but only a very strange blinking screen with lines and colours, strange symbols like $ & %. This happens for every F1 until F6, then F7 luckily brings me again on the graphical desktop.
I tried to install the drivers from the "Hardware drivers" manager in Kubuntu, but nothing changed. I don't know if it's an issue related to the kernel or to the driver. But I don't know how to update it without F1 console, and however it's a serious issue because I cannot do anything in case of desktop failure. The kernel is the last officially released (I don't use the proposed repos), that is 2.6.31-19.
After I succesfully instaled ubuntu 10.04 server, I applied
export PC1="[e[36;1m]u@[e[31;1m]h:w$ [e[32m"

What should I do in order to keep my prompt color settings permanently?
I upgraded to Natty, some images appear in negative colours in Firefox, but not all.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded to Ubuntu 10.4 and, although that installation seemed to work OK for awhile, I have recently encountered a strange problem. I have a dual-boot system with Win XP and two releases of Ubuntu, 10.4 and 9.10. I installed the latter recently only to be able to run some legacy software. I believe the problem occurred sometime around or after the installation of the 9.10 package. Note that the 10.4 install was a clean install on a newly formatted HD, and not a normal upgrade from 9.10, which I installed later separately. The Ubuntu installations are on their own HD. Win XP is installed on its own separate HD.
Here's the problem. I can boot OK up to and including the appearance of the Grub 2 menu, which displays fine. From the menu I can chose Ubuntu 9.10, Win XP or several kernels of 10.4. The 9.10 Ubuntu boots completely normally, as does Win XP--no problems or irregularities with either of those. When I select one of the 10.4 Ubuntu kernels, the strangeness begins, as follows:
1.) The menu disappears, there is a brief period of blank screen, and then a bizarre screen appears. It has a violet/magenta background. The word "Ubuntu" appears in large type, with a couple of lines of text below it. However, all of the type is unreadable. Instead of being normal characters, all the text characters are displayed as blocks of seemingly random multi-colored pixels! I can recognize that it is supposed to be text, but the letters are just a bunch of colored pixels. I can recognize the large Ubuntu word because of its shape. Also, the whole text display occurs twice on the screen, one on the left and one on the right. Both are displayed as colored pixels.
2.) The screen stays there, as if frozen, and does not continue with installation of the kernel. After some experimenting, I discovered that if I press Ctrl-Alt-Del (!), the installation continues as one would expect: I soon get the normal login screen, am able to login OK, and my desktop soon appears as usual.
3.) However, once in the desktop, if I try to invoke a console window by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1-6, the console window appears, but the text on the screen is again rendered as little bunches of colored pixels, completely unreadable. I can, in fact, login at these screens, but the text remains colored pixels. I can escape back to a normal desktop by then pressing Ctrl-Alt-F7, and the desktop comes back completely normal. Interestingly, if I invoke a terminal from the main Applications/Accessories/Terminal menu, I get a normal terminal in a desktop window that is perfectly usable.
4.) If, from the boot menu, I choose the Ubuntu 9.10 choice, everything works fine and as expected, including the Ctrl-Alt-F1-6 console windows. This problem only occurs with the Ubuntu 10.4 menu options.
Since this problem only occurs with the Ubuntu 10.4 menu choices, my guess is that there is something askew in the display configuration of those specific choices. But, I've not discovered what to check for that configuration or how to correct it. I've checked out the /boot/grub/grub.cfg file, the /etc/grub.d number files, and /etc/default/grub, but can't find anything that seems to be the cause or the remedy.
ive been trying to install 10.4 as a fresh install from a LiveCD. I downloaded the 64 bit ISO (I use Win7x64 normally, my processer is a core2 duo 2.2ghz or something along those lines), booted it up, and it starts loading. after a while, the screen chantges to a massive amount of coloured static. I tried reburning the disc, but it made no difference. Im now redownloading the file and the 32bit version too. Is this a problem anyone else has had, and if it is, is there any way to solve it? I would really like to use the 64 bit version.

View 9 Replies View RelatedWhen I boot up F12, after I have decrypted the hard drives and after the services have started but before I get to the login screen my display flashes a series of interlaced lines across the screen.

On first boot up of the day it shows white/gray lines (firstboot.jpg) [URL]. On subsequent shut down, boot ups it shows a blue, almost denim like display (shutdown.jpg) [URL]. Theres no problem if i just do a restart. Maybe related as well, last week some time my computer froze (opening large file, watching dvd and had firefox open, guess I ran out of memory?) So I did a reboot using the button on my computer, at the point where I usually get the coloured lines it instead showed a snapshot of my desktop just before it crashed. Though this happened after I first noticed the coloured lines.
