Ubuntu :: Larger Resolutions In KDE?

Apr 30, 2011

I'm running Kubuntu, OS Version: Linux 2.6.35-28 generic KDE SC Version: 4.5.8

I have a large monitor, and the max resolution of KDE (1280 x 1024) doesn't fill the screen. That seems rather small for a max resolution. Is it possible to get a larger one?

Ubuntu :: Set Different Resolutions On Each Screen?

Jul 26, 2010

I use a 17" laptop with a 22" secondary monitor running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. The res on the laptop screen is 1440x900 (16:10) and the secondary monitor mirrors this. Problem is that because the secondary monitor aspect ratio the display is somewhat distorted. It's not so bad that it is unreadable but I work in IT so I am at my computer for around 8hours a day so it wear thin after a while.

Is there a way for me to set different resolutions on each screen? The laptop have an ATI Radeon Graphics card and cannot change the Resolution above 1440x900 even within ATI Catlyst control center.

My main computer died a-few weeks ago as a result I've been using my net book as my primary machine.By and large this has been alright. However I recently plugged my 17" monitor into it, it works fine but I can't get the resolution larger than 800x60. Which is non ideal for the larger display I'm currently using.Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the screen resolution higher.I'm running an Aspire One with ubuntu net-book remix.

Ubuntu :: Enable Higher Resolutions SiS 771 / 761?

Feb 27, 2010

After struggling with this for 2 days and getting nowhere, I found this simple solution.

1. Download packages http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/gen...it_9.10.tar.gz and http://ajoliveira.com/ajoliveira/gen...rg.conf.tar.gz.

One of these contains the driver files and the other a xorg.conf file.

2. Extract the 2 archives by double-clicking on them.

3. Copy the xorg.conf file to the /etc/X11 directory code...

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Two Monitors With Different Resolutions?

Apr 12, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 on an HP laptop with an Intel 82852/82855 GM/GMC Graphics controller. I have a 2nd monitor attached to the VGA port (HP f1703). The problem is that the two screens have different resolutions. the laptop is 1280 x 768 and the other monitor is 1280 x 1024. The xorg.conf file that was created with Xorg -config set both monitors up with 1280 x 1024 resolution so my screen on the laptop looks all "squashed". I have tried to reconfigure it using the Display Preferences dialog but after i re-boot, both screens are unviewable and I have to restore my previous xorg.conf file. I went through the HOWTO: Jaunty Intel Graphics Performance Guide procedure to setup a "safe" configuration but didn't work and I had to restore my "good' xorg.conf file. What do I need to do to setup my two screens with the correct resolutions: 1280 x 768 and 1280 x 1024?

Here is the video portion from my "good" xorg.conf file
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
EndSection

Ubuntu :: Blurry Graphics On Low Resolutions?

Nov 1, 2010

I have recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my computer. The default display driver supplied with it only allowed the screen's default resolution (1280x1024), so I downloaded and installed nVidia's latest driver (260). When I change the resolution to anything lower than the default, the graphics (and most notably letters) everywhere appear slightly blurry, becoming more and more blurry as I lower the resolution. The blur is not terrible, I can still use it but it becomes annoying to watch after a while. I am using a GT240 graphics card, and this problem does not exist on Windows using the same resolution and same driver version.

Ubuntu Installation :: Make /tmp Buffer Larger?

Mar 16, 2010

I have read that if /tmp is too small, videos choke, and other problems occur.

On my machine, one of the problems was that I couldn't download things because /tmp got full and when I went in to delete some tmp files, I wrecked the system...(not too intuitive I guess).

So this time around, how can I increase the size of /tmp, as well as have it emptied on startup?

I don't want to have it emptied on shutdown, because if I get a crash, the /tmp will still be full...shutdown just doesn't seem to be a reliable place to put essential housekeeping tasks.

Ubuntu :: Any Way To Make Power Icon Larger In 10.04?

Sep 8, 2010

Is there any way to make the power Icon at the top right of gnome panel larger in 10.04? This has been a problem for a while now. For people with less than perfect eyesight (my mother) it is far too small to be functional. Increasing the size of the panel to something useful on a large screen increases the size of most icons also, but the power button remains resolutely tiny. Another problem for her is the selection of window edges (too be honest, I find this frustrating myself) The selection area is incredibly small on a 22" screen and impossible for her to select.

Ubuntu :: Replacing With Larger Drives In RAID 6?

Jun 14, 2011

I have a RAID 6 built on 6x 250GB HDDs w/EXT4. I will be upgrading the RAID to 4 2TB HDDs.

How would one go about this? What commands would need to be ran? I'm thinking about replacing the drives 1 at a time and letting it do the rebuild, but I know that would take a lot of time (which is fine). I don't have enough SATA ports to setup the new RAID and copy things over.

Ubuntu :: Migrate To A Larger HD, Dumping Windows?

Aug 13, 2011

I currently use Xubuntu on a dual boot system, a laptop. The hard drive is to small (30 GB shared between Xubuntu and windows), so I want to clone the existing drive, but I do not want to clone windows.

I bought a 120 GB hard drive, and want to dump windows totally. If I download clonezilla and burn it to a cd, can I instruct it to only clone the Xubuntu system? I think I would run clonezilla from a cd, download everything to my USB drive, then remove the small hard drive. Then, install the bigger drive and restore everything to the newer and larger drive. Will this work??

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Adding Higher Resolutions To 9.10

Feb 8, 2010

I'm trying to add a higher resolution to my system. I've tried to edit xorg.conf but I think I'm wrong. Everytime I edit and reboot, it tells me I need to run in low graphics mode for now. Now I'm trying 'xrandr.' I was able to create a new mode just fine, but when I try to add it to the appropriate output, I get this:

Code:
prog@ubuntu:~$ xrandr --addmode LVDS1 1280x1024_50.00
X Error of failed request: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
Major opcode of failed request: 149 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 18 (RRAddOutputMode)
Serial number of failed request: 25
Current serial number in output stream: 26

Here's what xrandr returns:
Code:
prog@ubuntu:~$ xrandr

v: height 1024 start 1025 end 1028 total 1054 clock 50.0Hz

I don't know why it puts it in TV1. There's two of them because I tried two different refresh rates.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Can't See Any Screen Resolutions Lines

Apr 5, 2010

Linux Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic), Nvidia g-force 5200, Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz(old PC but i need learn Linux inside out b4 I go 100% Linux)But I have taken the time to the learn the basic cmds like man mv cp apt-get install etc. I cisco engineer but I want to get good with Linux distro's.I have a NVIDIA G-FORCE 5200 which according to NVIDIA'S website the 173.14.x.x driver is the correct one.I have tried diver 173.14xx. I installed it manually and restarted x server.

I have read the installation guides on this forum but to no avail.When I reboot Compiz cube features are working BUT my screen goes 640x350.I tried to edit the /etc/X11/ xorg. conf file but I cant see any screen resolutions lines. I tried changing NV to nvidia and visa versa. Still the screen is buggered.I installed compiz checker and ran it it said all ok. My text goes large the colours are jittery ? When I go to NVIDIA XSERVER SETTINGS i can not change the screen res ? It just stops from selecting the options? I also tried driver 185.18xx and the same results.I also tried installing the drivers with Envy NG and still no better.I now have installed 96.43.13 NVIDIA driver and my screen has went back to normal but I can not enable the cube effects. I take this means it has reverted back to the graphics card on the motherboard? I have also looked at xrandr -s <1014x768> cmd to manually change it and again no avail.

Ubuntu :: Lost The Higher Resolutions For Computer?

Apr 30, 2010

I lost the higher resolutions for my computer. The highest available is 1360x768 (which doesn't work well) and currently I'm using 1024x768. Before, I had 1280x1024 working well and I even had higher resolutions available in nvidia-settings. I've ubuntu 9.10 with nvidia drivers (185.18.36).

I've read [URL].. but not necessarily all of it or understood all of it. I've tried dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and the xrandr stuff but nothing has changed, except what xrandr reports, regarding the addition of two modelines 1280x1024. In the end, I suppose something has corrupted some file but how can I figure it out?

Code:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1280 x 1024
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm
1024x768 50.0*
800x600 51.0 52.0 53.0
680x384 54.0 55.0

Ubuntu Multimedia :: How To Convert .mkv Files To Different Resolutions

Sep 1, 2010

I have a collection of *.mkv files which are 720 HD resolution (1920x720). I'd like to watch them on my netbook, but it can't handle HD content. The videos play fine on any decently-powerful desktop, under either Windows XP/7 or Ubuntu, but they are simply too much for the Atom CPU of the netbook.Is there a way to downconvert the .mkv files to something the netbook can handle? It doesn't have any problem with standard DVD content, which is of course lower resolution. Cutting HD content down to the netbook's native resolution(1024x600) would probably be sufficient.

A free software package available in the repositories would be great, but I have no problem manually installing something if necessary. I have not done any work with converting videos to different formats, so I don't know what's out there for Ubuntu.

Ubuntu Installation :: Some Screen Resolutions Don't Work In 11.04

May 5, 2011

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, I find that I can not successfully set the screen resolution of an external monitor to 1280x1024, for instance. The screen draws blocks of graphics in strange places & doesn't seem to erase properly. This screen resolution worked in 10.10, as did all the display options. However, now that I've upgraded only resolutions of 1024x768 & lower work OK. Is this is a bug in 11.04? My hardware: Dell Inspiron Mini 10v, Intel Atom CPU N270 1.60GHz, 1GB RAM

Ubuntu :: Resolutions For Black Screen Of Sleep?

Aug 13, 2011

I generally suspend between work sessions. Occasionally, after a long time of running, my display goes black and is unresponsive. This seems to happen when I have fallen asleep while working. Now, I don't think someone has sneaked in and done something to my computer! Anyway, all the applications are still running (observed by bringing up the console, top/ps) but the X session does not respond. I have tried the Control-Alt-Backspace keystroke that is suggested for restarting X Window.

Over several times, I have experimented with killing specific processes from the console to see if I could restore life to the session, without having to shutdown. Today I noted that if I blast the compiz process it did come back. Of course, there may well be a specific combination of steps I did before that step that resulted in it working.

Ubuntu :: Multi Monitor Support (Different Resolutions)

May 13, 2010

I have two monitors of different resolutions. Under settings->display the settings for my monitor look like this: [URL]. Ultimately what I want is to set up this kind of configuration: [URL]. But whenever I do, it doesn't work out. When I up after setting the above settings, my configuration ends up like this: [URL]. Any attempt to change the resolution or to change the display type to anything other then clone is simply ignored. If I disable the second monitor I can set my first to the proper resolution. If I try to set the settings to what I want they will stick but the second monitor doesn't actually turn on, and if i try to drag windows that direction it acts like a single display.

I have tried using the ATI control panel to adjust my display, but there seems to be a problem entering it as an administrator.I can load the CCC just fine as a regular user, but when I try as an admin a terminal pops up, I type in my password, and nothing happens. I want to avoid trying to reinstall my display drivers or do anything drastic. In previous versions of linux I would just nano the Xorg.conf file and be done with it, but it seems ubuntu 10.04 LTS doesn't use Xorg, or at least not a Xorg.conf I am used to. I want to set the monitors at their native res and as independent displays, similar to what twin view did for me not to long ago.

Ubuntu Installation :: Create Larger Then 4GB Casper File?

Nov 23, 2010

I have recently been experimenting with installing Ubuntu 10.10 on a USB/Flash drive, and have finally stumbled on the "Universal USB Installer", using a so-called "Casper" file for persistence.Now I wanted to make the Casper file bigger, and found this article:I was reading it, and got confused at this part:"This tutorial assumes that you have already created a bootable USB Flash Drive that contains Ubuntu or an Ubuntu based Live Distro like Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, Crunchbang, etc. You should delete any existing casper-rw file from the drive to free up all available space before proceeding.

1. Restart your Computer, booting from an Ubuntu Live CD"Do they mean that you have to make 1 flash drive that was created with the Universal USB Installer, and has a Casper file on it, AND you have a Live CD from which you operate?If so, could I use one flash drive that acts like a Live CD (without the Casper file), and create another flash drive that DOES have the Casper file, and then boot from the one without, and follow the instructions? (Sorry for the complex sentence, didn't know how other to put it...)

Ubuntu :: DD Image Restores Larger Than Actual Size

Feb 13, 2011

I've been working on getting another OS installed on my computer for one of my classes (OS specific assembly instructions). To get this OS running, I had to start using a GPT rather than a MBR table. I backed up my Ubuntu partition (ext4) using the old-fashioned dd command. I've since been able to get everything working again after a dd restore.

The problem is that my original Ubuntu partition was only about 50GB and the dd image only takes up 40 GB. After I restored the image to the new drive (146BG), gparted is reporting 119GB used and only 26GB free. What can I do to reduce the size of my install to 40GB again?

When looking at the disk in baobab, it says the the filesystem is only 47.2 GB and that only 20.9 GB has been used. This is likely what the old partition's breakdown was. So my new question is: How can I make the filesystem capacity (47.2 GB) equal that of the partition that it is on (146 GB)?

Ubuntu Servers :: Options For A Larger File System?

Apr 27, 2011

I have considered a range of choices, but at the end of the day the choice I make can quite easily put into a situation that requires even more thinking.

The idea is to have an enormous file system for SAMBA that can scale from terabytes to petabytes. Such as a single directory with say 4 million MP3s in my iTunes collection. iTunes cannot use multiple drives easily.

There are lots of vendors that have offerings galore, I wanted to see what can be done with a roll your own approach.

Ubuntu :: Move /home To Larger Hard Drive?

Jun 19, 2011

I'm sure that this is posted somewhere but I have not been able to find the right search terms. I have a Dell Vostro 1700 which has 2 physical hard drives. I installed Natty to the 1st drive and during the install I used the entire 2nd drive as /home. I would like to upgrade the 2nd drive to a larger faster drive. I have the new drive in a USB enclosure so that I can access both drives. I'm pretty sure I need to boot from the CD to do this. Then I need to copy all files unmount the small drive then shut down, install the larger drive and have the system recognize it as /home. I am just starting to creep out of N00B stage and don't want to screw this up.
