View 2 RepliesI recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix on my Gateway LT3103u. I noticed shortly into using it that it has a graphics bug every so often. Especially when I change the background image. Everything will change to a warped mix of colors and pixels. Everything is affected. My mouse, the bar at the top of the screen, text and all. My netbook runs on an AMD Athlon 64-bit processor with ATI Radeon X1270 HyperMemory up to 256MB graphics.
So far I have tried reinstalling, and even the 64bit desktop edition which had the same problem. Ive noticed that it freaks out when i scroll too quick, when changing background images, and on certain websites. Then other times its completely random. When it happens it looks similar to these: [URL]
I currently have a Windows XP OS which i want to dual-boot with Ubuntu Linux 10.10 . I put the disk in the drive and chose the option to install Linux through Windows. But it hangs in the middle. I am also unable to change my BIOS settings due to which i can"t change my boot preference. My first Boot is the HDD. I want to change it to CD-ROM. Any suggestion? I also have another PC where i can boot through the CD...I tried installing there by booting from the CD but i get this error message after seeing the purple Linux screen with the loading dots. "(Process:286):Glib warning**:getpwuid:failed due to unknown user id (0)
P.S.- I am not able to see any options while the boot is going on
I'm new to Ubuntu Linux but have many years on windows platform. Please can someone help me with how to change the following items.
No.1 I would like to change the HORRIBLE!! YAK!! brown background color behind the word Ubuntu in the start up screen when the machine loads up (before the login). I have located the image file for this which I have found to be: /usr/share/images/xsplash/bg_2560x1600. jpg but the OS says that root is the owner and that I don't have permission to change this. So how can I change this for a color I do like.
No.2 I would also like to change the login dialogue screen style. I know this is possible but again I'm fumbling to see how I can do this. I have tried with the start up manager but every attempt fails, the settings don't take. Once again I suspect permissions are at the bottom of the problem?
No.3 Would like to have a colorful splash screen image on boot up, I've managed to remove the old one (small white 3 ring ubuntu logo on black background) but havent been able to install or replace with a new one. Its been incredibly frustrating, I'm feel sure I'm missing something simple here. Wondering if its permissions yet again?
Anyone who can offer help on any of the above, guidance or advise me would be much appreciated. Please bear in mind that I'm still very much feeling my way with Linux so keep it simple.
I changed it and got it working a long time ago but i installed 10.10 (great work BTW ) and have forgotten completely.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI had issues with changing the pointer when compiz was active in ubuntu 10.10. it would not change when on the desktop, only when hovering over a window.I solved this issue by doing the following:
Hit alt f2 and enter-> gconf-editor
Then goto-> /->apps->compiz->general->allscreens->options
Then in "cursor_themes" type in the name of the pointer theme(Eg. DMZ-White)
This should resolve the issue with compiz.I am not going to go over that here.Oh yea don't forget to logout/login or press ALT F2 and enter compiz - -replace to refresh the pointer...

I'm using crunchbang (jaunty) on an old desktop at home that I intend to use as an ssh server. I have everything set up and ready to go, I can ssh just fine if I'm on the same network (on my laptop) as the server, but when I tried remote access, I realized that I had the general IP (192.168.1.100) and that I needed to change the IP address to ssh remotely.I have tried to manually change the /etc/network/interfaces file but have only gotten confused.The question is what do I change and where in order to get a unique IP address for my ssh server to ensure a successful remote connection?

Notify-osd is one of my favorite things about ubuntu but the pop ups last _WAY TOO LONG_. I've been googling for an hour and can't find any way to change it. Is this true? This is literally a big enough deal that I might just un-install it. But, that would be terrible because I think it's a fantastic app if it didn't sit there for five god damn minutes telling me about messages I read five minutes ago...
No, not literally five minutes, so don't respond saying "There's no way its five minutes" or "if it lasts that long something's wrong with your computer". If I really can't change the timing then that's an awful call on the part of the programmers who made it. Who the hell wants an app that can't be adjusted in any way?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been running Ubuntu 9.04 on my netbook for quite some time.
Everything was fine hibernation and suspend both worked.
I changed out one of the hard drives (SSD) that contained my swap partition for a bigger one.
I recreated the swap partition to twice the amount of RAM
I finally got around to figuring out how to reactivate the swap file and using free it shows up.
When I set it to hibernate and close the lid I can tell by the hdd LED that it is hibernating then powers down.
But when I restart the system just boots normally instead of coming out of hibernation.

[Edit/SOLVED]: No longer an issue in Lucid Lynx for me. See this HOWTO. Note that 1280x1024 isn't the only option. You can use any resolution supported by VBE of your video card. Use vbeinfo command in Grub shell to see the list of available display modes.
Is there any way to change Dynamic IP on Linux ? as smeagol271006 mentioned in his thread , we have to disable avahi daemon to get this above code to work properly. dhcpcd trick worked like a charm for me but i have 2 major problem.
problem 1. I always get the same dynamic ip. I need to change dhcpcd -r IP by hand to get a new dyn IP.
problem 2. since i disabled avahi and network manager , i can no longer use DHCP feature . I have no choice but to enter dhcpcd code snippet manually to assign a dynamic IP for every system restart. Is there any clean way to get a new dynamic IP without using dhcpcd ?
I can't change my GDM theme any more nor will I be able to in the next version of Ubuntu! I know why (the gnome developers took the feature out in the re-write of GDM). I have two questions. Why is GDM so bloated that they can't re-write all of the features? It also seems to take a lot of resources (more than the others). My second question. When, if ever, will I be able to customize my gdm theme again?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI think this is a bug but I wanted some feedback from the community before going to launchpad with this.
I had a new user call me up with a question on how he might change his password on his Ubuntu 9.10 system. I walked him through the steps of going to System->Administration->Users and Groups->Click on his user account->Properties->Change Password. Everything went well, but when he logged out and went to use his new password it clearly didn't reset the password. He had to use his old password to get into the system.
I verified it on my system as well - changing my password through the GUI does not actually change my password. The only way I was able to change it was through the passwd command, which is what I walked the user through.
So the question is: Is the GUI method (gnome/ubuntu) for changing one's password broken? Or did we miss something?
As a follow-up to this - it appears that changing a user's password through the command line with passwd does not change the password for gnome-keyring, which then asks the user for his/her password before NM can connect to wireless networks. The only password that this dialogue box will take is the user's old password - which could be really confusing to an end user.
Is there a better, more comprehensive way of changing one's password in Ubuntu that would update the keyring settings at the same time?
