Ubuntu :: JabRef Starting In Tiny Window?
Aug 10, 2011
I installed jabref via packages on lucid.When I start it via command line or applications menu it starts, but is initially a minimal size (not minimized) window at the top-left of the screen.If I resize or maximize it everything works properly.This doesn't happen with other programs.Any idea how I can get it to start in a normal usable size?I tried resizing, closing, and reopening it.I also tried having a database open or not.

Thunderbird has been running on my Fedora 13. After a recent yum update, it opens a tiny window in the upper left corner of my screen, which I can enlarge manually. There are no contents in the window. I cannot see anything.

The only way I know is to use exit command to come out.
Is there some way to close the Xterm windows using the GUI (the mouse pointer)? Killing a lot of windows would be easier that way.
I am using Tiny Window Manager.

I would like to know how to prevent the xfce4 from starting as well as the login window. I just want my tty7 just like my tty6. However I do want to be able to start xfce4.

I'm having trouble starting non-kde window managers. From the start-up command line, I get an error message about the XServer when typing "fluxbox" in as a command. However, when I put fluxbox in as a command in konsole, it gives an error message (which makes sense because I was using kde). I also can't start xfce as it is not a recognized command.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Desktop Edition Gnome.
I was a Vim user in Windows. I heard that Ubuntu comes with a compact version of Vim called vim-tiny.
I wonder if this latest version of Ubuntu comes with vim-tiny or the complete version (is there any way of checking which one is being opened with the vim command in the terminal?). If it is vim-tiny, how can I install the complete version of Vim and start it inside the terminal with the "vim" command? Because right now vim-tiny (I guess) starts by typing "vim" in the terminal.
will the vimrc of the tiny version interfere with the complete version of Vim?

i just restarted because of some problems and as i booted, the ubuntu logo with the load thing was looking different and errors appeared under the logo. The resolution is 1024x786, but it was way higher before. When i click on System/Preferences/Monitors it says "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? y/n" I have a broken package: sun-java6-jre, is it because of that?

All of sudden, as of yesterday, I can't read any windows that Thunderbird displays. First of all they are hard to find, because they're a couple of pixels wide and may two dozen pixels tall. Once I find and enlarge them, they have no content they're blank. Everything worked fine until yesterday. I haven't found any other application misbehaving.

I have been using Ubuntu for a while with no real issues. I have tried to do a fresh install of Kubutu but I cannot install it due to the fonts on the installation process being tiny. I am using a HDTV as my monitor so could this be the problem?? I have no other monitor to utilize so where do I go from here?

The screen at 1920x1080 with tiny gnome icon. Almost unreadable, can the icons be bigger? KDE has excellent icons but for some mystery the system cannot run KDE. All gnome, not just ubuntu, have 10.4 now runs excellent need to keep it.
New hp system, 1 terabite ram, nvidia graphics system 2 gig.
Soon to switch to larger monitor, but those icons...Tried cairo icons, no use, trouble.

install of Win7 Pro x64 and I have VirtualBox installed with Ubuntu 10.04 running as a guest OS. I want to get access to the tty1 so I press CTRL + ALT + F1. The screen resizes to a smaller size, turns black, then the gnome desktop reappears but only the top left corner.

So I installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my mac mini 3,1. Everything worked smoothly until I ran the updater and installed the nVidia drivers (I was using an install DVD I burned back when I was doing the beta test. Under nVidia, a lot of text like menus and the like is showing up excessively tiny- like half to one third the size its supposed to. I suspect a problem related to my monitor, which is an LCD TV. This happens at all resolutions.
I can scale up the text in workspace appearance, but the amount of space for menus and icons doesn't change one bit and the larger text just gets chopped off. Anyone had this same problem? I'm really hesitant about going out and connecting a VGA monitor- I don't have an adapter on hand and I'd rather not go explaining to the Apple store that I'm having trouble with it on Linux.
Ironic thing is, text displayed as part of a web page in Firefox shows at the correct resolution. Edit: I got to looking in the nVidia controls, and it says my resolution is 49x50 DPI. That should be like 96x96 or so.

This is really frustrating..> I just successfully installed Kubuntu 11.04 and after updating the system and installing the recommended Nvidia driver, the fonts are crazy small.. See the attached screenshot.
I'm using the default font settings.. so I don't get why they would look so small.

At work we are trying to avoid paying for a cert for our outlook owa. I thought of Tiny CA, but can't find a windows variant, it appears to depend on things that would not allow that.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a Tiny CA Cert and install it on a Windows Server 2003? If not does anyone know of a good free Cert creation utility for Winedoze.
I have a feeling this is going to be another feather in the basket to convince my boss to go Ubunutu.

This happened after ubuntu pushed an nvidia graphics update about a week ago, on upgrade I booted up into this:Obviously I had to take this picture with a camera, since a screenshot only showed one screen. It's perfectly usable like this, except that it's too small to read.I of course have tried 'sudo nvidia-xconfig', and a minimal xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Along with purging and reinstalling all of the nvidia packages numerous times. I'm currently running on the VESA driver, which sucks. My chipset is a 9200M, but like I said, it worked perfectly before the last upgrade. In all my years of using linux and kubuntu, I've seen and fixed numerous nvidia driver errors, but I've never seen one this strange, usually it will run or not run.

I am using KDE4 on 10.10 64-bit.
Only ever use the KDE desktop so completely removed XFE and the rudimentary Gnome left behind on the install.
Not a desperate problem just an annoyance.
Everything works fine, except if I logout the next login screen is using a really tiny font and I can't seem to find anywhere to change it.
The DPI must be about 10, as I can't even read it when blown up on my projector.

I'm building a Cluster with 20 small Compaq ipaq PC's as the nodes. I have absolutely no room for any keyboards on this cluster. The PC's require a keyboard to boot, and there are no BIOS settings I can adjust to fix this problem, and no BIOS updates. I have found a small DOS .com program by Compaq called NO_F1.com it's designed to allow the computer to continue to boot without a keyboard. it's only 172 bytes in size. It sets a bit in the CMOS which allows the boot process to continue without a keyboard. It does not permanently set anything, so it needs to run each time the computer starts.
Is there any way I can execute this program very early in the boot process every time the node boots ? I thought about dissembling the program and trying to modify the boot loader, or some other ASM program, the program is only 172 bytes. But thats really over my head. What could I try, I don't know what to do. Also, I have no floppy drive and no CD drive to boot from, only USB or hard drive.

I was using a friends laptop and decided to boot into an install of tinycore on a flash drive. This laptops battery is already pretty much shot because it is left plugged in all the time no matter what the use, and before I booted into it the level was at about 60%, which means about 40 minutes in windows. When I booted into tinycore, there was only about 10 minutes before it shutdown completely. I noticed the fans were on high and the air coming out was rather hot, but why does that happen?

Why is the font rendered so small on this site? C++ Shell? Before having Debian Stretch as a dual boot, the fonts rendered much better in the VBox VM after installing infinality.

<Edit> Got it fixed. Didn't put the correct res in the xorg.conf file...Sheesh...None the less, this is the moment that I do a little dance around my little space...I got current up and running with only asking this dumb question...Hoo howdy...It's GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT...Now to test to see if everything I had on 12.2 will compile...So far gbdfed is not doing so.../edit>Sorry if this has been posted before, and I will look for it later if no one replies, I'm just bloody burnt out at the moment...Hooked up 122gb hd, and rather than spend the hours reading up on dd, I decided to try 13.0...Lo and behold my 845g didn't work, which I had suspected would have been the prob...So I fuddled around, read, and read, and read some more...Upgraded to current, based on a thread here...Forgot to check lilo for any errors...Hoo boy, what fun...Current changed the drives from hd# to sd#. Had to use my old zenwalk 5.2 disk to chroot in order to fix that. Then something else went wrong. Well, now I know what mkinitrd is good for, . Well, fuddling around some more, installing this intel driver, installing that intel driver until I finally found something that worked...However, I get better frame rate with glxgears than I did on 12.2, but when I move any windows they are a little choppy, plus the little tiny fonts which is rather annoying...Anyway, what else should I look at? Could it be xinarama support which I don't need?

I have 3 little pieces of hardware called Xcore.
They are very stripped down computers with minimal configuration : 1Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, 1 SD Card (and usual USB/VGA ports).
Everything runs fine out of the box with Debian 7.2

For some reason my desktop icons have decided to be very small and can't be changed (systemsettings/appearances/icons/advanced) It happened after I enabled and downloaded the files need for compiz. I have disabled compiz and now have no 3D desktop effects, but still cannot alter the desktop icon size. What have I done?

I am trying to use Tiny Core as the OS for a fairly old embedded device using a Pentium 100 with 64MB Ram.
I managed to get the Tiny Core image loaded onto a 128MB CF card. When I turn the box on, it presents me the Grup screen and I can select the bootup option (tinycore). However, soon after I am getting a DMA Timeout Error.
Also in this link: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ble-it-734489/
Now, I am not familiar with Tiny Core all that well, and neither am I sure of how to modify the initramfs to include: hdparm -d0 /dev/hdb.

Can anyone help me with accomplishing the following: software writes to STDOUT --> filter --> PDF or PS "tiny text" thunbnail. Where "label" means something that fits on a biz card or smaller and remains readable. Here is an example,I want a "paper label" for data DVD media, or to include in the case with a carry-around USB drive.I can make content with ls -lh and similar utils with some post processing, but the resulting text file prints too large.A biz card has a similar form factor to a letter page only much smaller, so I need a filter of some sort.Process the text into postscript(ps) or PDF "tiny text" page thumbnail.Print this thumbnail label and store it with the media.I can also use the online page thumbnails as index into an archive or catalog.
Can some TEXT--TO--PS or TEXT--TO--PDF expert help work out how to accomplish this sort of thing?What do most people do about keeping an index or catalog of offline media (CD, DVD, USB drive) contents? (I know that "don't bother" is a popular option.)

When booting into my slack12 fluxbox desktop today my fonts were so small they were hard to read. The same is true if I use kde. I didn't change anything that I can think of. I tried running fc-cache but it didn't change anything. My xorg.conf hasnt changed. Interestingly, my xterm font didn't change size, but the konsole font is tiny like my other desktop fonts.

I was able to build a NFS server and a NFS client using OpenSuse 11.3 and connect them together using gigabit ethernet through a switch. These are the only 2 devices on this net (192.168.1.xx). I tried to set the MTU to 9000 and 9014 but learned that the Realtek 8169/8111 only support up to about 7200 MTU. So I inserted Intel NIC cards on both and set both to 9000. The system accepts this and I can ssh from one machine to the other. Both NFS client and server start w/o issue and the client mounts the device just fine. But when I try to copy a file on the NFS client from the local disk to the server, the client just hangs and I have to physically turn the machine off in order to get it to work. Both systems are using the stock software from the DVD (I didn't update either).

My Squeeze installation has the horrific 80x25 line display, and I cannot stand it. I know it can do better, because the grub screen is very tiny. I ran dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, but the offerings there aren't much better. I don't know what happened to the good ol' days of grub when all you had to do was pass vga=791 to the kernel to get a decent console size... but it seems they are gone.
I don't really understand this new v2 grub... I don't know why it was necessary to change how it was configured, when it seemed to work so exquisitely. how I would accomplish the functional equivalent of passing vga=791 (1024x768@75hz) to the kernel in grub
