The image on my external monitor is blurry. the resolution is right, but the Monitors menu shows the monitor to be a 20" while it is actually a 19". So this may be a hint. I would like to know how to adjust the monitor size (if possible). How can this be done? I am running 10.4 on a dell precision 4400, connecting with the monitor via VGA.

I've been working on tightening up my firefox display. I've managed to cut down the vertical scrollbar. Anyone know how to do the same with the horizontal scroll bar. See screenshot? I'm running this on an eeepc 701 (hence the small screen size).
From my userchrome.css
/* hide vertical scrollbar */
notificationbox {
overflow-x: hidden;
} browser[type="content-primary"], browser[type="content-targetable"] {
overflow-y: scroll;
margin-right: -12px; /* 12px == width of my scrollbar */ }

I installed Fedora 11 I386 DVD. I use firefox. Usually, I will go through some websites in Chinese. The Chinese characters can be recognized and displayed. However, there are several font sizes and font types in the same line. Usually, the last character is much smaller than others.

without thinking, reinstalled my windows installation after already having the dual-boot set up and it wrote over the GRUB with Windows MBR. I let my girlfriend's friend borrow the disc before this and decided to just wait it out. Then, when getting the disc back, I carelessly forgot it at their house and have never been able to retrieve it, nor do I think that I ever will.
At this point my only live discs either only have GRUB1 or are corrupted. My only tools now are a netbook with a wubi installation of Xubuntu(no CD drive) and a 1GB flash drive, it seems. Any suggestions on how to access my ubuntu installation?

Was running 10.10 64-bit on Thinkpad X201. I mistakenly clicked on upgrade this morning (really meant to just do a plain old update)... I tried to stop the process, but nothing that I did could get me out of the upgrade loop... so I eventually was forced to go ahead. Machine boots into 11.04; however, keyboard and mouse doesn't work. I have an external keyboard/mouse combo and that will intermittently work, but questionable. I was able to turnoff Unity; however, Classic doesn't seem to work with either external keyboard or laptop builtin.
My root and home are on separate partitions. I have a very fresh copy of home backed up on a separate drive. I don't have a recent backup of root. If I could get Natty working with Classic (including minimize/maximize) I'd be OK...I'd be also OK with going back to 10.10 if I could do it without too much pain. Meanwhile, I'm using another machine with Windows 7 so that I can at least do some work and come back to resurrecting my machine after I've had a bit of a timeout..

I have a dual boot PC, tried to upgrade to Lucid Lynx and the upgrade failed. Can't boot into it at all. Windows XP still works fine. I have the live CD for a re-install now. I read this post but don't understand the difference between the instructions for the partitions. Have posted my screen shots below.First screen shows that I have 10.04 and offers me the option to partition further.Screenshot 1 I choose manual partition and then it gives me the right sized partitions. . Then in screenshot 2 I edit and choose the mount point as /, is that right? (screen shot 3). Do I then change that option again to choose /home? because otherwise it takes me straight to screenshot 4, the user name set up.There's No Custom User Title Here

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS on an external hard drive (USB connected) and I can no longer boot my Windows XP(SP3) from my internal C Drive. Grub gives me the list of boot choices, but when I choose the C drive, I just get these error messages:
GEOM ERROR
For Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810X PCI fast ethernet controller v2.13 (020326)
Client MAC ADDR: 00 13 D3 07 FD F5 GUID: FFFFFFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFF-FFFFFFFFFFFF
PXE-E53: No boot filename received
PXE-NOF: Exiting PXE ROM
(The version of Grub is 1.98-lubuntu5). I don't have a Windows System CD to boot from, but is there something I can do from within Ubuntu itself?

I installed Debian 8.2 first, then Windows 10 over it (I know, backwards, but I didn't wish to lose my customizations on Debian up to that point, and didn't realize until later that I wanted to Dual Boot). Running from a LiveCD of Debian 8.2:
Code: Select allsudo fdisk -l
Device - Start - End - Sectors - Size - Type
/dev/sda1 - 2048 - 116211711 - 116209664 - 55.4G - Linux filesystem
/dev/sda2 - 116211712 - 116244479 - 32768 - 16M - Microsoft reserved
/dev/sda3 - 116244480 - 232421375 - 116176896 - 55.4G - Microsoft basic data
/dev/sda4 - 232421376 - 234440703 - 2019328 - 986M - EFI System
[code]...
That's where I am stuck. I'm a bit new to Debian & Linux still and I've never dabbled with Grub2, I imagine I can't mount /dev/sda4 because in chrooted into /dev/sda1 and it can't see /dev/sda4 at this point (what I'm thinking anyway). So I try:
Code: Select allroot@debian:/# fdisk -l
fdisk: cannot open /proc/partitions: No such file or directory/I imagine that's what it is, but I don't know a way around that. I want to dual boot Windows 10 & Debian 8.2 on a UEFI (or EFI?) system with a GPT Disk. No guide I have found for fixing Grub2 or getting Dual Booting working with Debian then Windows installed have covered both things at the same time. I just have to be special I guess.

I am a relative newbie to Fedora 12, altho did start with OpenSuse. I installed XP first with the games that couldn't run via wine. Then I installed Fedora but I must've done something wrong as although Fedora runs fine with a few personal tweaks with everything I want I can't access XP as it is no longer an option in the boot up. What do you suggest I do. I have a system rescue cd ready but don't know how to access the boot or change it.

I set my drives up with MY boot loader, and I boot several OSes.I installed Ubuntu and told it to place grub on the / drive, which is where I always put it with any other install and it works fine.I find now that despite telling the install where to put it, you guys have taken it upon yourselves to alter the MBR of the volume ANYWAY!
SO, what I need to do is re-install grub, but I see that you also have no repair facility on this disc either. All I want to do is use MY boot loader. Currently, when I point at the / volume it just hangs with a non-blinking cursor in the upper left.No other Linux installs I have performed over the years do this. I want the drive to boot by merely pointing my bootloader at that volume.It always has in the past, so what did you guys change? I want NO action on my MBR, but I DO want a working grub on the actual root volume, which is NOT the first volume on the drive.

I'm new to fedora, but had installed it once before on machines for my class. I am now trying to install fedora on my PC at home, but every time I run the disk and chose install from the main screen all I get is a bunch of text and then it says "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed"

I've had this problem across several versions of Ubuntu and other distributions as well, and nobody has ever been able to fix the issue. I'm using a Toshiba Satellite L355D-S7829 with Ubuntu 10.10 64bit. Ubuntu detects the make/model of the laptop on install because it tries to name the computer accordingly. My CPU fan speed is always stuck on next to zero. It's just "barely" running at all.
I did a:
Code:
And got
Code:
I'm unable to make any changes to this file even as root. Can anybody lend me a hand at all? The problem is that any time I do "anything" somewhat CPU intensive my video card and cpu begin to heat up rapidly and I can't really get them to cool off. I don't have this issue with Windows, and the CPU fan is clean and clear of dirt/dust.

I am running a dual boot conifg with OSX and Ubuntu PPC (karmic) on a 2004 G5 and everything is working pretty well - very well actually. The last thing I am trying to adjust is such a simple thing, but I just can't seem to get it. In Ubuntu, the screen position is shifted to the right, covering the scroll bar of windows and the trash can.
No problem, just use xvidtune, adjust the screen as I want and create a custom modeline right? Well, it does not seem to work.Here is what I did:Using xrandr I created a --newmode and then used --addmode to add it to the output I am using (default):
Code:
mieren@G5-Ubuntu:~$ xrandr --output default --newmode 1680x1050_new 146.25 1680 1820 1996 2268 1050 1053 1059 1089 -hsync +vsync
mieren@G5-Ubuntu:~$ xrandr -q
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050
[code]....
Notice how the new mode now lacks the rest of the config information specified in the --newmode above, not sure if this is normal.I can change to the new mode, and the resolution is correct, but the screen is still not adjusted. There is no difference switching between the 1680x1050 and the 1680x1050_new modes - the screen may flash, but the position does not change.
(I also tried adding a mode line to /etc/X11/xorg.conf screen section, but it also has no effect. Actually, there was no xorg.conf existing at all, so I created a minimal one.)It is really annoying to have to adjust the screen position using the monitor controls on every reboot.

After installing Fedora 14, I can't seem to make my screen brightness go above the absolute minimum. I've tried editing /proc/acpi/video/VGA/LCD/brightness to change the current setting from 20 to 100, but I can't save it, even when logged in as su, it returns "Invalid Argument" when I try to enter the filename of where to save. What do I do?

Is there a way to restrict users that are logged into the shell via SSH/Telnet/SFTP from using the 'cd' command to move into certain directories, yet not use the chmod command to do it? For instance, restrict users logged in from accessing the /var/www/ folder but have it still accessible using a web browser. Also, would this defeat the purpose since they could just wget from it if its still web accessible through a browser?

I recently switched my os to Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Netbook Edition. After installing, I noticed that I am unable to adjust the brightness of my screen. The Fn keys do not work and I cannot find any other way to adjust it.The only way I have been able to adjust it is at the BIOS with Fn keys.

I just booted ubuntu from a disk that I burned to try and salvage some files off a hard drive with a failed boot sector (maybe. not sure what the problem is,). Anyway, I can see the files, and I have a large portable hard drive that I can use (a MyPassport 320gig, if I recall correctly). I'm having trouble accessing the drive, and I think it might be because there's something popping up in the task bar that I can't see. Unfortunately, I can't see the task bar! My screen's resolution is off, and I'm having trouble adjusting it. I browsed the various settings and I couldn't figure out any way to change it.
Is there anything I can do? EDIT: Oops! I didn't look into the Monitors options... how embarrassing.
EDIT2: Okay, looks like I can mess about with the resolutions, but all of them still deny me access to the full screen - still can't see the task bar.

i got an AOC 18" lcd, the instructions that came with it, are only for Windows and Macs, if i press a button at the base of it, a square appears with all the pictures to configure including brightness, but i can't click on the screen. The cd that came with the monitor, i assume only works with Windows/Mac, i haven't inserted it for fear of screwing up.
PS: when i pass the mouse over the square, the pointer disappears.

i ran into a problem while isntalling xine player on fedora 11, i first of all installed its core engine 'xine-lib' successfully with standard prefix! when i run the './configure' for its frontend (xine-ui) it gives this error.
No package 'libxine' found Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix. Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XINE_CFLAGS and XINE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I can't track down..On most of my Slackware -current installs (I have 6 installs altogether) I can no longer get conky to adjust via .conkyrc Conky from SlackBuilds The problem is for some reason it's stuck at top of screen, with the whole upper-half not visible off screen.. I have tried adjusting .conkyrc, tried uninstalling/reinstalling tried adjusting how it starts in .fluxbox/startup all to no avail. I am starting it with either
conky -d
conky &
conky -d &
all the same result. Somehow I "fixed" one of the installs, and tried the same "fix" on the others and it didn't work..I am also trying to start either fbpanel or lxpanel either before or after conky...same results Is there another app (not gkrellm) that will do same as conky?

how can I adjust the volume level while recording audio playback and microphone at the same time? I managed to increase the audio playback volume with PulseAudio Volume Control (Input devices -> Monitor of Internal Audio Analog Stereo -> pressing green button "Set as fallback"), but once I click on that green button, no no microphone sound is recorded.
Details:
- using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- recording audio with Sound Recorder
- installed PulseAudio Device Choooser and PulseAudio Volume Control
- Input devices -> Internal Audio Analog Stereo --> shows the sound from microphone
[code]...
- how to adjust volume of audioplayback and microphone recording and record both as a mix together? Thanks!
PS: I checked out this thread, but haven't figured out how to adjust the volumes.

I added a directory to the $PATH variable in /etc/profile. This works for my user account but not for root. It's easy to add it to my /root/.bashrc but I would like to understand whats's wrong. It's a widely unmodified Debian 6 so I think my changes should do the trick.
Here is what my /etc/profile looks like:
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
[code]....
Edit: The path I added is the distcc-stuff. Here is what echo $PATH tells me:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
