Ubuntu Installation :: Karmic Recovery Menu: Detects No Screen After Trying To Adjust To A Previously Recognized Resolution

Oct 18, 2010

I booted Hardy, because Karmic detects no screen, after trying to adjust to a previously recognized resolution. As good as it is, does it seem like some basic computer functions just do NOT improve?

Ubuntu Installation :: Karmic To Lucid : Screen Resolution

Apr 29, 2010

On the 28th of April I upgraded my system (laptop with "SIS Mirage 3 Graphics" video card) from Karmic to Lucid and my screen resolution was reduced from 1024*768 to 800*600. I tried during one day to find the suitable driver but no luck on SIS web page.

I eventually found it on the followwing address : [URL]

It works very well and the resolution has jumped now to 1280*800. The only remaining and identified problem is with grub2 : my system is dual-boot (Windows XP and Ubuntu) and the "recovery" mode does not work anymore for ubuntu, I will maybe have to wait for a next update.

Ubuntu :: Adjust The Boot Up Screen Resolution?

Aug 7, 2010

I just want to know how to adjust the screen resolution of my boot up screen. My PCs maximum resolution is 1366x768 but I think my boot up screen only uses 600x400. I doesn't look nice for me. The logo of Kubuntu is too big and the colors are not the true colors of the Kubuntu Boot up screen.

Ubuntu :: GRUB2 Resolution - Cannot See The Recovery Mode Menu

Apr 24, 2011

I recently reinstalled Ubuntu 10.04. Since I did that I have had a problem with GRUB: I cannot see the Recovery Mode menu - at least not anything intelligible.

I can see the normal first GRUB menu with all installed operating systems, recovery modes, and MEMTEST, etc, but cannot see the Recovery Mode menu. What I do notice (if I select it) are some fuzzy lines at the top of the screen. I also notice the Ubuntu splash screen does not appear any more either.

Clearly it seems there is a resolution issue. I have a 1440 x 900 monitor and the current version NVIDIA driver.

This happened some time ago on previous Ubuntu releases, but was not an issue when I originally installed 10.04.

Attempted Fix:I installed the StartUp-Manager and have tried all the resolution combinations with no success. Some yield bigger more centrally displayed fuzzy lines, but still nothing legible.

Although this isn't "life-threatening" I'm just a bit worried that I might need the Recovery Menu and not be able to use it.

Ubuntu :: Adjust Screen Resolution To Desired Setting?

Jan 5, 2010

I've been trying for very long now to adjust my screen resolution to my desired setting. So far, no luck. Just today I went in to examine what my xorg.conf looked like and this is what I saw.

Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"

Ubuntu :: Adjust Screen Resolution On Samsung 40" LCD

Jul 19, 2010

I have an HTPC mini computer, in which I've just installed Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx, and I tried all screen resolutions I could possibly use through the settings. And the top, bottom, left & right hand sides are out of the resolution. So for example the top and bottom taskbars are out of the screen. I'll be posting a photo later on today to show you people exactly what I mean. So that I can have Ubuntu's screen would fit all inside my LCD screen ? The HTPC runs an nVidia graphics card.

OpenSUSE Install :: How To Adjust The Screen Resolution

Jul 17, 2010

Suffering from the expected error in detecting my video properly when installed 11.3.Have intel 915G onboard video. Up until 11.1 Opensuse struggled with loading this correctly. in 11.1 & 11.2 all was well. A couple of minor tweaks in sax2 and it worked perfectly. Now hat sax2 has gone I'm not sure how to make these minor tweaks.

My problem is I have been forced to a screen resolution of 1024X768 VGA Following the readme file adding nomodeset at boot fixes the problem but of course forces me back to an old video driver with pretty poor performance. Is there any way I can change the screen resolution and set the correct monitor - any GUI replacement for sax2? Krandrtray will only let me set a max res of 1024x768. I need to set res to 1280x1024

Ubuntu :: 10.04 Update Screwed Desktop - Cannot Adjust Screen Resolution

Apr 26, 2011

The last update for 10.04 has really screwed my desktop. Several of the icons are off the bottom of the screen. All icons are too large. Can't adjust the screen resolution. Panel at the bottom when placed in autohide is so sensitive that it is almost impossible to use. Jumps up and down like a flea on a hot stove. I have reduced the sensitivity of the mouse to the minimum with no effect. There is no excuse for so many troublesome updates. The problem with using an external monitor with a laptop has never been resolved by Ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: How Does Karmic Set Text Console Screen Resolution

Jan 21, 2010

I'm trying to track down a screen resolution issue (Karmic on an Acer SK20 [Intel 945 graphics] with Acer AL1511 flat panel via VGA) and mechanism for setting the framebuffer screen resolution after GRUB2 has loaded the kernel but before X starts.

Before I forced it to behave itself by adding an xorg.conf with a lone "Modes" entry for 1024x768, X was setting the panel to 640x350 by default. It appears from looking at get-edid | parse-edid that this is because 640x350 is the only resolution this idiot panel's EDID says it knows about, even though its native resolution is in fact 1024x768.

So the GUI works fine now, but all the text consoles (Ctrl-Alt-F1 through F6) are still operating at 640x350 and look terrible; also, because usplash doesn't know what to do with 640x350, I don't get my nice white Ubuntu logo before GDM starts.

In previous releases, I would have dealt with something like this by adding vga=791 to the kernel boot options. That doesn't work for the Karmic kernel, and GRUB2 whines about it being deprecated and tells me to use "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" on a line before the "linux" command instead.

Things I have already tried, with no success:

1. Adding "set gfxpayload=1024x768x16,1024x768" into the boot sequence, right before the "linux" line, by using GRUB2's inbuilt boot sequence editor (Ctrl-E): no change.

2. Changing the GRUB_GFXMODE= line in /etc/default/grub and running update-grub: changes the resolution used for GRUB's own menu, but as soon as the kernel boots it's back to 640x350 on text consoles.

3. Same as (2) but also adding a "set gfxpayload=keep" line in /etc/grub.d/00_header, right after the "set gfxmode=${GRUB_GFXMODE}" line: same effect as (2).

4. Removing the "splash" option from the "linux" line. No change (I guess this is because usplash didn't work anyway at 640x350). By the way, usplash.conf is set up for 1024x768 and yes, I did remember to dpkg-reconfigure -phigh usplash to rebuild the initramfs after checking this.

where exactly does Karmic set the screen resolution for its text consoles, and how can I force it to ignore this LCD panel's bogus EDID?

I am loving Slackware, but my Westinghouse monitor is having a hard time recognizing the screen resolution. After typing in startx, I get a black screen. I can plug my box into my trusty test monitor, change the res to a config that the Westinghouse will recognize,then switch monitors and all is fine.How can I edit the res and have Slackware remember the settings? This happens every time I reboot. I am logging in as root, I have not added a user yet at this point.

Ubuntu :: Recovery Menu (in Recovery Mode) Does Not Work?

Aug 18, 2010

I've got a, as it seems to me, strange problem.I've inadvertently deleted my user from the group admin so I'm in the same situation of a lot of other users (read a lot of messages about it).My problem is that when restarted in recovery mode there is no way I can choose the 'drop to the root shell' or similar in the menu.The menu appears for a second and then I've got an empty screen. If I press a key I've been requested for a username and password that of course is not what I need.

When installed everything is OK until approx 10 secs after log in and the desktop freezes, whether I run in Ubuntu or classic modes.having installed and re installed about 6 times now, with the same result have tried running in recovery mode - and found that if I choose Run in Failsafe graphic mode "failsafeX" in the Revovery Menu, then the system runs perfectly in Classic mode.Is there a set of commands that I can use in the terminal that will set the machine to run in FailsafeX mode rather than having to start via the Recovery Mode?

Ubuntu :: Can't Adjust Resolution In 10.04

I have just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04 to a computer with a generic, low end, on board graphics card. It will not allow me to change the resolution to something other than 800x600 or lower. 8.04 allowed me to set the resolution to as high as 1600x1200 using the same monitor/graphics card.

SUSE :: USB Installation Recovery - Restore System From Initial Menu

Mar 10, 2010

I have an installation from USB/DVD issue.

Setup:
1. Desktop running WinXP
2. Lenovo S10e netbook running Win7RC1 (just expired.) no DVD drive.
3. 1 DVD by Novell and Lenovo with "SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (For recovery select Restore System from the initial Menu.) November 2008"
4. 4GB USB drive. Laptop can boot from it.

Problem:
Need to install the system to the Laptop using the USB drive. Doesn't install.
What I did:
Mostly followed the guide at "Installation without CD - openSUSE.htm" my USB drive is G:

used the HP USB Disk storage format tool to make my USB bootable.
Copied all files from the dvd to the usb drive
Moved G: ooti386loader* to G:
Deleted E: isolinux.bin
Renamed E: isolinux.cfg to E: syslinux.cfg
Downloaded syslinux-3.85.zip from [kernel.org]
Extract syslinux-3.85.zip to c: syslinux
CD'ed to c: syslinuxwin32 directory in a cmd prompt
Ran syslinux -ma E: .....

Result:
Runs all the way through, gets to a windowed program called ">>> Linuxrc v3.0.20 (Kernel 2.6.22.5-31-default) <<<" Code: could not find the openSUSE Repository. Activating manual setup program

Main Menu: Settings, System Information, Kernel Modules (Hardware Drivers), Start installation or System, Verify Installation CD-ROM/DVD, Eject CD, Exit or Reboot, Power off Cant find anything on the usb drive (obviously?) so what do I do now?

This is where I'm at and quite stuck... not sure what other flags there are to use, what I have to move around or rename.

CentOS 5 :: Adjust The Resolution With Xconfigurator?

Jun 10, 2011

I am installing CentOS 5.6 on an old PC with a small LCD monitor. Anaconda did not determine that the resolution of the monitor is limited and it configured the display to 1280 x 1024 which is out of range for the monitor. So I connected a different monitor and completed the install then set the resolution to 1024 x 768 which the monitor should accept. I connected the small monitor but it still displays "OUT OF RANGE" when the PC boots.

I then connected to the PC over ssh and changed /etc/inittab to start in runlevel 3 and rebooted the PC. At the moment I am downloading the necessary updates with yum and pondering the problem. Some Internet searching tells me that I can adjust the resolution with Xconfigurator. That beings back old memories of Red Hat 7.x.

However, Xconfigurator is not present on the CentOS 5.6 install. So... short of shutting down the PC I am on now and transferring the monitor back to the old PC and trying another resolution etc. Is there a way to change the resolution without running the gnome gui and using the System; Preferences;Display Resolution tool? I am not running any proprietary video drivers on the PC.

General :: Adjust Resolution Or Video Settings From Command Line?

Feb 28, 2011

I'm trying to install Ubuntu Desktop 10.10 on an Intel Atom mainboard (Intel D945GCLF2) with CRT that has been running Ubuntu 9.x previously.
Both, Desktop live CD / installer and alternate install CD cause the screen to go black (and the status LED blinks).

I was able to get a bit further into the boot process with nomodeset as parameter with the Live CD, unfortunately I can't pass GRUB any parameters now that I have used the alternate Install CD by pressing 'e', it just boots.

So now I have Ubuntu installed, I get a terminal with CTRL-ALT-F1 but I don't know what I need to do now or how to adjust resolution or video settings from command line.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Picture Recovery Program On Karmic Koala 9.10?

Nov 19, 2010

I am looking for a program that would be able to recover some of my pictures. They seem to be corrupt. I know that there are several programs, really quite simple to use, to download from the web such as "Art Plus Digital Photo Recovery" and "PixRecovery". I was wondering if there are similar programs out there that can be installed on Ubuntu? Also, I have to mention it, when I try to open them with the "Image Viewer" an error message pops out which says : Could not load image 'picture.JPG'. Beneath that there is also this : Error interpreting JPEG image file (Improper call to JPEG library in state 200).

Ubuntu Installation :: Lucid Purple Screen Blocks Recovery Mode?

Jun 12, 2010

I have a problem, so I boot in recovery mode. The Recovery Mode menu comes up, but when I press a cursor key, the purple Ubuntu screen comes up. I cannot get to the menu items that I need!

The recovery mode is supposed to provide a failsafe text-only environment.

Does anyone know what app puts up the purple screen?

I would really like to remove it. I tried to install xdm, which I prefer, but keep running into the purple screen. - With XDM installed, the purple screen comes up and blocks you from seeing anything. Fortunately, remote login by RDP still works. - If you switch console (CTRL+ALT+Fn) back and forth a few times, the purple screen appears again. You have to go to a new console (F8 or even F9 instead of F7) and begin a new Gnome session. Eventually you run out of function keys...

Perhaps I'm using the wrong distribution. Ubuntu is friendly, but you pretty much have to use it exactly as it installs. Can someone recommend a distribution that puts more emphasis on stability?
