I got to the main menu and selected to run it directly from CD, and the Ubuntu symbol showed up saying it was loading things, but then the screen went black and nothing happened even if I waited over 15 minutes. During this time the HDD light was flashing every second or two, and I could see about three white pixels at the top most row of the screen.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have had a strange experience in upgrading to Ubuntu 10.10 on a Dell Inspiron 1545 also running Vista. I was upgrading from a Ubuntu 8.04 that I thought would be worth reporting/sharing in case others have had a similar experience. last week I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 using the live cd. Everything seems have gone smoothly. I could log in and out of ubuntu. After logging into Vista and logging out, the next time I tried to start the machine, there was a 'segment offset error' with the boot loader and there was no way of rebooting into anything except to use the Ubuntu live CD and go to a terminal and reinstall the bootloader. The same thing happened after logging in to Vista- this seemed to mess with the boot loader. Logging in first time was not a problem.
Yesterday I started again, wiped out 10.10 and re-installed ubuntu but version 10.04. Logging in and out of Vista is so far ok and I have not had any problems. I do not have an obvious logical explanation to the sequence of events unless there is a problem with the boot loader in version 10.10.
I have an Acer Aspire 5004 WLMi laptop with the SiS M760GX video chip. Under Gentoo the graphics worked perfectly but not so under my new Fedora 13 installation. There is enormous flicker with large regions where the pixels are miscolored. I used
Code:
# X -configure to create the xorg.conf file which is here. It contains the same driver, SiS, which worked under Gentoo.
In 10.04 on a Shuttle the screen position is a few pixels off. I fix this with xvidtune for the session. I also get a new modeline. I build a new xorg.conf file (go virtual terminal, stop gdm, Xorg -configure, etc) and move it to /etc/X11. I introduce the modeline in the monitor section and reboot (I could do a service gdm stop...). Guess what, my screen is still a few pixels off. The documentation clearly states that if there is an Xorg.conf, it will be used. So what gives?
This problem has existed since the xorg.conf file was dropped. It is just plain silly that one has to engage in a geeky treasure hunt to correct a few pixels. This adjustment should be present in the System/Preferences/Montors. This is why Linux does not make it with ordinary users, making (superficially) simple things difficult.
For instance, using dd, you create an image of a whole hard drive, all partitions. The script then comes and mounts the partition located at offset 63 (or whatever the user picks).I do not see this option in the mount command.No other searches turned up anything meaningful. So I am bowing to the gurus.

I have a 30" LCD with 2560x1600 pixel resolution. I would like to make and play videos at this resolution, but software decode is too slow, and the GPU accelerated decode (VDPAU) maxes out at 2048 pixels. It might be possible to decode 2Kx2K and cut-and-paste and reorganize the rectangles to fill 2560x1600. But someday I plan on getting a 4K screen (4096x2160 pixels) and I would like to support that too. For that it seems two video streams decoded by two GPUs and exactly synchronized would work.

I've tried reinstalling and updating grub2 and I also tried grub. It wasn't a problem until I put Lucid on a 4th partition that's always been there. I let lucid install grub2 and after that windows didn't work, but I got the same error when I reinstalled it from karmic. I got a different error from grub (that I don't remember), but I wasn't positive about the configuration so that may have been my fault.
I'm having trouble keeping NTP synchronized and able to provide time updates to other devices on the private network. I believe this is because the server has a too large of offset, that causes all NTP clients syncing through the server to fail.

Ubuntu 10.10Asus UL30Agraphic chipset Intel GMA 4500 MHDNative LVDS1 display resolution is 1366x768, but my laptop now boots at 800x600. Using xrandr to set resolution at 1366x768, I get the right dot pitch but the screen is still 800x600 px wide, left-top aligned on a 1366x768 display, so that I see a 168px black belt on bottom and a 566 black belt on the right. A vertical screen offset of 168 px affects also the pointer (touchpad) in the following way - I can move and see the pointer arrow all the display wide including the black region, but input (click) is taken for a position 168 px above the pointer visible position.
This is happening after having used the laptop with an external projector and gtkwhiteboard (wiimote based infrared pointer management). I then removed gtkwhiteboard to no effect.Everything works fine when booting in failsafeX, recovery mode. Here is output of uname -a

View 1 Replies View RelatedI had ubuntu 9.10 I upgraded to 10.04 after solving some problems (freeze at boot).
Since then, I don't have the ubuntu's logo showing up when I boot, but a purple screen with some blinking pixels. I didn't care much about it... but today my computer took too long at that screen (normally it was just 1/4 second, but today it was like a minute..). And it happened like 4 or 5 times in a row (Only at the 5th time I realised that it was not freezing up, but it simply would took more time)
After a reboot, it is again 1/4 second of purple screen but I don't want this problem to return.. so I want to get rid of the purple screen (I think it is an indicator of the problem)
Well, I already installed the graphic drivers (going to system > admnistration > hardware drivers). But it didn't solve anything. (I don't know if it is even related)

View 3 Replies View RelatedSuSE 11.2 = 2.6.31, ntpd 4.2.4p7. My offset and jitter are large compared to what I see on the internet. I have also been trying to use a GPS+PPS but that doesn't seem to matter one way or the other. They usually start out with offset and jitter in the single digits and drift / move to something like -400 and 80 over a couple of hours. I have tried various remedies under ntp.org like HZ=100, setting clocksource to tsc, hpet, or acpi_pm. I do not know what to do with acpi so i didn't test that. One of my systems has drift of < +-20 which is good. I have tried it on another identical system and also an 11.1 system. One of the systems is not behind my firewall. They do not run a firewall themselves or VM or pretty much anything as they are not being used.

I tried the new flash 10.2 beta in the hopes that they actually improved things, but it doesn't seem like they have.
1) Video's still seem to go to the 0,0 position with multiple monitors. Always the left screen.
2) Clicking on the non-fullscreen monitor still causes the fullscreen to exit.
3) My video is still offset and shifted on players like ....., probably due to screen resolution.
When switching users or logging out and then back in, the unity desktop will be shifted to the right, so that the clock, power button, etc. is off-screen. This does not happen every time, but seems to be about 50% of the time.It looks to be shifted about the width of the toolbar on the left, so that there is a blank column the width of the toolbar, then the toolbar. So, maybe some screen position data is not being reset at log out

View 3 Replies View RelatedHaving recently installed puppy linux (pup431) on my sony pcg-c1mah laptop with a monitor of 1280x600, I am absolutely in love with it. It is so fast and smooth. However, there is one problem, the screen position is shifted up vertically, off by a few pixels (30 maybe). This makes most of the application partially off the screen, which is really annoying. Previously, I was able to install xubuntu (8.04) on it without any problem. The screen was perfectly positioned. It was the speed reason I decided to go for puppy linux. If xubuntu was able to set the screen correctly, why puppy linux can not.
View 4 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.
I'm trying to get the width of a string in pixels this way:
Display *disp;
int len;
disp = XOpenDisplay(0);
font = XLoadQueryFont(disp, desc );

I'm getting negative numbers as the the pixel length, eg -7275
