Ubuntu :: Image Distortion Using Live CD?
May 27, 2011
I can barely use the live session CD of Ubuntu 11.04 because,everything gets corrupted,i cant open new windows because it starts to get horrible, like if i had a graphics problem, managed somehow to open Mozilla and write this, but its impossible to do anything else that needs to open more windows layers...
I never had this problem with ubuntu before... my graphics are intel extreme graphics 2.i cant even use the terminal because it is in few words... invisible, unless I move it but then, disappears.I can work normally using windows. Also i have ubuntu karmic live cd and works perfectly.

After installing Ubuntu to a flash drive, and customizing it heavily, I am running out of room (8 percent remaining on a 4GB flash drive). While I could go buy another flash drive, I already have plenty of storage between a 500GB external hard drive and a DLink NAS. What I would like to do is use unionfs to mount an image (around 6GB in size) over my 4GB flash drive. When it is mounted, all file changes should be synced to the unionfs image, thus "archiving" my flash drive. I have created the 6gb image, formatted it as Ext4 (same type as my flash drive), but when I mount it (using 'unionfs-fuse /media/SG_EHDD/devices/unionfs.dev -o cow /') any changes that I make are not made on the image. I think I am missing an option, namely the -o chroot=SOME_TEXT, but when I put -o chroot=/media/SG_EHDD/devices/, it says it cannot load /media/SG_EHDD/devices//media/SG_EHDD/devices/unionfs.dev. It also gives me the same errors when I cd to /media/SG_EHDD/devices and run unionfs-fuse with ./unionfs.dev for the path to the filesystem image.

Just got Ubuntu 10.04, Ive had some experience before with it but this is the first time I have completely removed Windows (7) from my system....
Okay, short and sweet, I have a Gateway Lt31 series netbook, It has a {Ati X1200 Graphics/video card}. I get really bad distortion on the top of my screen at all times, and at others the entire screen becomes Distorted. Sometimes the text becomes no mre than mere blurs and I cant see particular letters ( I cant see the "v,n, or o" right now).
Im downloading the 9.10 iso now and will downgrade if necessary

I know that the second dot release of Squeeze has been released (6.0.2). Why live images still point to 6.0.1?Is that update not going to be released as live?

Does anybody know of a program that can make make images of the entire hard drive while it's in use? Like Ghost and Acronis can do? I have a production ubuntu system that I need backups of, however, I can't power it off.

I upgraded via the terminal from 9.10 to 10.04 and after the upgrade I've been having these weird horizontal screen distortions. I was wondering if there will be a fix to this, and if I'm the only one experiencing this.

I am using Natty and its favoring me with too much of screen and cpu overloading problems.After some usage with movies or browsing, it gets a distortion and whole horizontal lines appear on the screen like a 8BIT distorted Video game. The background actually runs good, since i tried playing mp3 and got the error after wards. After distortion, the windows start flicker and changing. Is there any way to stop this?Second thing,The cpu easily becomes full while mounting drives or surfing itself.

i feel like this is a stupid question as i have seen many different ways to make a debian live cd, but the only way i understand is remastersys.i am trying to make a snapshot of my own debian unstable (sid) to be capable of re-distribution. remastersys will ONLY work on ubuntu, lenny, and squeeze.if anyone knows of any relatively simple tools i could use or could write an easy how too that would be very much appreciated. i am attempting to stray away from ubuntu and ubuntu based distros and use debian instead, although i cant find any distribution based on debian that i really like (maybe linux mint debian edition based on debian testing), but i really want the software right out of unstable (sid) and i would like to be able to make a distribute-able snapshot for myself and others that may be interested. (xfce + compiz + others, hopefully plymouth, out of the box). i have made some very good headway on this, but i dont know how to make a live cd out of an installed system without remastersys.

The KDE live CD image that I downloaded is defective. That's great. Just great. What a waste of 700mb of my Internet usage.

I've seen some tools available for taking image backups (amanda, bacula, ...) of the O/S. I have a nas drive and want to back up the the entire disk to it (while running preferrably). Can someone recommend what tool would be best to use (free of course) and hopefully not too complex.

I am having trouble both installing or even just booting the live CD. I have to interrupt the boot to give the nomodeset boot option.
Once I get the Ubuntu splash with the oscillating red and white dots for several moments, I get the Busybox with the error message "Unable to find a medium containing a live file system"
If I do a dmesg I then see a lot of sr0 errors. I have an onboard SCSI controller but no scsi devices. I am not sure if this matters.

Selected mixer 0/M Audio Delta 44
Known controls are:
mon.out1/2 [<leftvol>:<rightvol>] (currently 108.0:108.0 dB)

I have a 64bit desktop and 64bit laptop. I upgraded both to 10.10 and they both have the same problem with compiz. Even though I selected the cylinder distortion, the rotating desktops will not deform to a cylinder unless I select "Wallpaper" in compiz but when I do that, the cylinder is completely transparent AND objects (like windows or bouncing/squishing icons in AWN appear not to refresh. Like a window will not disappear after closing.
As an aside, I have four different wallpapers selected for the four different desktops, but none of them display when I select "Wallpaper" in compiz, I just get the transparent cylinder.
If I deselect "Wallpaper" in compiz, the problem with the refresh disappears immediately, as does the transparent wallpapers but the cylinder becomes disabled and I am left with a cube with a single wallpaper and no ability to decrease opacity during rotation.
This has happened with both my desktop and laptop. I have tried uninstalling all compiz components in Synaptic Package Manager and adding them back one at a time in case I added some conflicting components but this doesn't seem to help.
I did not change settings in the updates, so I have to assume that the problem has something to do with a bug in Compiz. The two computers have different video cards and the drivers are up to date, so I'm at a loss.
Has anyone else found this problem? Has anyone been able to display the cylinder distortion with four desktops with different wallpapers?

I recently started trying fedora 10 out on live cd (in my case usb ) and loving it. I want to install it, should I get the dvd image, or would it be okay for me to just install off live cd (usb) and install whatever I want through the package manager later... Why/why not? Also on live usb, I can't find the package manager under applications.

I've a headless custom device that boots from USB using live image. Since I cannot access the device through the network, I need a way to persist boot related log files (dmesg, boot.log, messages) to view them on another computer.

I installed Fedora 13 and on my new laptop and tried upgrading to F15 and it gets stuck at "Late init script for live image".I've been searching and seen threads in the F15 Dev forum that I cannot reply to. I do not have akmod or kmod on this machine.I can get to a terminal, I have an SSH Server I installed before it broke. When I press ESC at the boot screen the last thing I see says "Late init script for live image"

F12 current updates. The Gnome Desktop Background images are compressed in the horizontal axis enough to make a cessna 182 look like a disney cartoon. I am running 1280X1084 75 hertz update rate. The Gnome Image Viewer gives a correct image. The image I am running had to be stretched to fill the screen. I suspect the stretching algorithm is at fault. Is this a bug that need reporting?

i'm looking for a webcam viewer/recorder that can remove the perspective distortion. (ie a square looked at from an angle becomes a trapezium). Mplayer can remove the distortion but it can only view the webcam, not record to file. Mencoder can record, but not view. But I need to view and record simultaneously (sigh). ...
