I seem to hit a combination of keys that makes my screen look like I am looking at a negative of a photograph. Does anyone know what the combination keys are to accomplish this, and how may I get my screen back to normal without rebooting.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Ubuntu 10.10 on a Medion PC (E6220), and everything is fine and dandy ... except, the webcam does not work. Well actually I think it does work, and I also think, that Ubuntu would recognize it, if it was turned on. The problem however is, that in order to turn it on, I need to press fn+F9, and that key combo simply does not work ... neither does the fn+F7 combo, which toggles the wifi - but that is less important, since wifi is on and works. Logging into i.e. win7, toggling the webcam there, and then back into Ubuntu is not really an option at the moment. So right now I seem to be stuck in a situation, where a non-defined keyboard shortcut equals no webcam at all. The obvious question of course is: Is there a way to force the webcam on without the key-combo?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI keep hearing about how Ubuntu is supposed to be so much faster than Windows 7, but have yet to see any major difference in their boot times. I am dual-booting Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 on an intel Centrino 2 processor with 4Gb of ram and both OS's take about the same time to boot. After I get to the bootmanager to select OS, if I click on Windows 7 it almost immediately goes to the GUI load screen with the windows logo. On the other hand, if I boot into Ubuntu I get a black screen for ~30 seconds before the Ubuntu logo even appears. Comparing GUI boot times, Ubuntu is clearly the winner, but they take the same time total.
Does anyone know what is making the long black screen or how to reduce the time? I would really like to show people how fast Ubuntu really boots.Immediatly before Ubuntu Gui starts, an message shows up for a second saying something like "Unknown adaptor version (2): You may experience some problems", it flies past so quickly that may not be verbatim.
I would like to output to my TV, but I have a non-HD TV that only has composite and component inputs, and my laptop only has a VGA output. I'm looking for hardware/software combo recommendations so I can playback my backed-up DVDs in my living room. I'm running Karmic.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI tried using ssh between my netbook and desktop, but it was going to take around 30 hours to transfer 39GB over the home network. Also SSH is very sketchy and often drops connections.I've been messing with it all day and I'm quite frustrated.What I'm looking to do is use my netbook as more of a primary computer and the desktop as a storage computer. Not quite a server, because I'd like to still keep a GUI on it. I'd like to be able to keep my music and movies on the desktop and stream them to the netbook (SSH sucks for this, always drops connections). I've already set up the web client for Transmission bit torrent client so I can torrent on a machine that's almost always on and connected.
Is there a better setup for all of this? I like the netbook because of the portability; I like the desktop because it's always connected (for torrents) and it has a larger storage capacity. It would be mainly used around the house. I would like to back up a file or two while abroad, but I'm not looking to stream music while I'm across town or anything.
I have installed the most basic Arch Linux only with command line interface as guest OS on Windows using VMware. The problem is when I maximize the Vmware window, the Arch Linux console does not adjust to the full screen. How to do this without installing X window?
I also want to make copy-paste work to and fro from windows without installing X. Is it possible?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI upgraded to Natty, some images appear in negative colours in Firefox, but not all. For example, photos on Facebook have negative colours, but not the thumbnail versions of the profile pictures do not. I have tried reinstalling Firefox in Synaptic to no avail. On another partition I have an installation of openSUSE 11.4 sharing the same /home (and therefore all Firefox settings etc), but no negative colours.

I want to set a key binding in bash for "history-search-backward" readline command to a combination of Control+some other key (I'm using 2 as an example), but I'm unable to do so. in fact, I'm unable to alter or add bindings to Control+key combinations.
After several tries my ~/.inputrc now looks like this
But it doesn't work and bind -p | grep "-2" gives nothing. If I try something without the control key:
I can search in the history by prssing the sequence C + - + 2.
bind -p gives control in C form, for example:
I've tried different formats in my inputrc:
But nothing works.
works if I press Escape followed by 2.

Fedora 11:
Bash version 4.0.23(1)
GNU Readline 5.2 (according to the man page)
I snaptic installed xmacro. I do not see it show up anywhere. Lost. I need a macro that can record keystrokes to reset my cable/router modem combo. I now use autohotkey. But I cannot virtual machine this, because it would need to raise up a ms windows explorer, something that cannot be done in a virtual machine on guest OS.

I got my video files from my external hard drive to play, except that all the video's are all negative. Is there a setting to adjust this? I tyred to to go threw the player and see if I changed the settings some how.I even tried other players.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have the following combo dvd/cdrw drive: 'MATSHITA' 'UJDA730 DVD/CDRW'
Currently, the only way I get it to work is by manually mounting it, i.e.
Code:
mount -t iso9660 /dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0
How can I get this device to auto-mount when a cd is in it? Prior to Fedora 12, I had Ubuntu and it would auto-mount successfully.
NOTE:
I've already tried adding the following to fstab file:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI'm currently using Fedora 12.I'm having trouble ripping a DVD. Every time I use cropdetect in Mplayer, it gives me negative x,y values which makes it impossible for me to use Mencoder to remove the borders. I shall display the info below. Also, may I add that I'm trying to use 2 pass encoding to recieve better video quality. I would like convert the DVD to an AVI file. I've compiled all the binary codes for various codecs so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Also, it can not find any audio tracks on the DVD either. I was successfully able to rip the trailor for a different movie on the DVD to avi which was track 3 no problem (wiith good quality sound that synced up)I'm new to Fedora and Mplayer/Mencoder, but "WinBlows XP" doesn't seem to help with ripping good quality videos so I decided to try something in Fedora.
Fedora, and other distros install a PAE kernel if the hardware supports it.
Are there any negative effect on running a PAE kernel on a machine with less than 3-4Gb ram ?

How do I grep a negative number with scientific notation?
when I was first trying out Linux and installing Partitions, I did it right, but I used 200GB of Space, and so I decided I didn't want to use it VIA Partition and I wanted to use it VIA Wubi... and I didn't know the correct way to uninstall it... So I went to Windows Partition Manager and manually deleted the partition myself with the OS in it, but the thing is, it turned into 200GB of Unallocated space, and I couldn't give it back to my C: so it's just there... and now, a month *Present day* I want to install Mint 10 KDE and now... The big problem... I can't assign Linux Mint 10 to the unallocated space, only to the rest of the HDD... how do I assign it to the "Free" space? I tried "Specify Partitions Manually" but there was nothing that showed up. What would happen if I assigned negative 19% for Linux? Would it cause negative effects?
