I have random lines near the top of the desktop, as seen in the image on the top right. The spotify app,under wine also shows the same lines that are quite annoying as they make it difficult to navigate.
View 6 RepliesI have been experiencing a problem where the screen loads and after initial first few lines breaks up into multiple repetitions of lines. Reloading helps but has to be repeated when pageing down. Mail is no problem; it is supplied by my network provider. OS is openSUSE 11.2 which I update when advised. Below is a sample from the error console:

Everything was going great, updated my nvidia drivers, did initial updates etc... And everything was awesome from the boot screen to the shutdown screen.Recently (today) I installed a few updates that update manager thought were essential. However after doing so, when I restarted my computer and got to what should have been the boot screen, it simply sat for a few seconds with a few horizontal RGB lines and then booted to the login window... I have done nothing else to the pc besides those updates.Also when I shutdown I get the same few RGB lines, they are in the top area of my monitor @ a 135 degree angle.

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.
I am not sure if this is really a Ubuntu question but lets try it!Received email shows a long header which includes lines of code. I can scroll through it but I can't reduce the number of lines on screen.This significantly reduces the number of lines available for the message. There must be a way to reduce or eliminate this header.

I really don't know where I should ask this question. When I'm watching a video in full screen (ex, avi or h264 file) I am seeing random horizontal bars where there is action on the video like where a head is turning.When the motion is slow I am less likely to see these lines. Faster the motion, lots of lines or shaky motion. I was using my onboard Geforce 6150 GPU but thought it was because it was underpowered. I then bought a GT220 thinking that it was the problem. It is still but less frequent. Using the built in player, VLC... I don't know where to look, what to search for...There is my setup:

I've been away from Kubuntu for a while but came back when Kubuntu 11.04 was released because it's awesome. I have a newer laptop since then, a Latitude E6410 with Intel graphics and 8GB of RAM. Everything works great, except......Sometimes when I resume from suspend to RAM, the screen flickers with thin white lines across the screen. I can switch to a tty and reboot it from there, but I'm unable to use KDE until I reboot. A lot of times resuming from suspend works without issue, but sometimes this problem occurs. I haven't figured out exactly what triggers it. In fact, the most recent time it happened, I didn't even have an application open.
I would like to figure this out because I use suspend a lot. I rarely turn off my laptop unless an update requires me to. I prefer to be able to close my lid and resume whatever I was working on later, but with this glitch I cannot trust it to do that.
I am a newbie user in Linux. I have installed a package were it has EMC2 software but when I run it shows parallel lines on the screen while running? What is the cause for it ? Should I reinstall ubuntu again? I had taken a screen shot and it will tell you what I really mean? This is the screenshot, [URL].
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a very strange problem since I turned to kubuntu 10.4. Often, after some heavy working, my laptop works very slowly and suddenly when loading something, it locks and white lines turns all over the screen, just like curtains. Linux jumps out of KDE and logs in automatically. That's very anoying since all my work is lost and it turns back to the previously saved session.
Also, often when I boot, the load screen is also mmissed up with those white lines. The only thing I can do then is to reboot.
I tried to re-install kubuntu (in first instance, i upgraded in kpackage, then i re-installed with formatting the root en swap partitions).
I don't know how to solve it. Only thing that seems reasonable now is to downgrade, since i didn't have this problem on 9.10 (fyi: I have a dell inspiron 1501 with ATI Xpress 1150 256MB HyperMemory video card, formerly i had problems to have good graphic drivers for it on previeous versions of kubuntu (some 3d games didn't work), maybe this has someting to do with it?)
I for one find Unity not as bad as others. What I despise is that screen edges don't work any longer for me. Respectively corners. In the 'old' Gnome, I used to have full screen applications on the desktop; for example Virtualbox running something in full screen. Then I would have compiz set to expose all desktops by an upper left corner mouse event. Then I could easily click on another application to switch to it.
With the event of Unity, this doesn't work any longer.
Worse, the launcher doesn't pop up when I create a mouse event on the left edge in Virtualbox. So I cannot switch between Virtualbox and other applications any longer, except by un-full-screen Virtualbox in order to navigate. Is there any possible way, for example by setting, that the unity launcher overrides the present screen (Virtualbox) like it did before for edge events?
i just installed slackware 13.37 which worked fine but when i boot it up it runs a number of lines and then the screen just goes black... i can login as root blindly and start x (i THINK, judging from hdd led)... but screen stays black... its a laptop and closing/opening the lid doesnt work either...
i am dualbooting with slack 13.1 which runs fine... it switches screen res at some point during boot (font is smaller) and i would say that is the point where the screen goes black in 13.37...
I made an ubuntu live usb with a 2gb persistent casper rw using pendrive linux's portable installer. this works fine on most computers, but on my laptop, it boots just fine, but the screen is divided with little lines and overlaps slightly on the righr into the left(pic included). the laptop in question is an hp pavillion dv2000 special edition.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got the new kernel update (2.6.32-24-generic, according to "uname -r"), and I went to restart my computer as the system requested. When I selected the new kernel from the boot menu, the Ubuntu splash screen came up, and then it did this subtle alternating shades of purple horizontal line thing. Then a vertical line appeared towards the right of the screen, and then everything faded into this cloudy, bright white splotchy...thing.
The keyboard was still responsive, and hitting ctrl+alt+delete restarted the machine, at which point I tried to replicate the problem, but everything loaded normally this time. My questions are: What the heck happened? Why? Is it dangerous? Why or why not? My machine is a Dell Inspiron 1501, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB hard drive, ATI integrated graphics, AMD 64 Anthlon X2 processor. I'm dual booting with Windows 7 as I learn Linux.
I don't seem to have an "xorg.conf" file.
Gateway SB400a computer with Edubuntu Lucid installed. The problem first cropped up when I installed the Edubuntu packages on Ubuntu. I did a fresh install with Edubuntu and the problem persists. I don't want to go back to Ubuntu since this computer is for my Grandkids and I want to the Edubuntu stuff for them.
I don't have the specs handy, but I can get them. what I have to do to get them. (it happens when you get old)

I have recently downloaded and installed Ubuntu 11.04 desktop. I'd like to be able to dual boot into Windows or Linux on my PC so I've installed in on an ext4 partition on a separate drive from Windows. The installation process ran smoothly and the dual boot functionality works as planned. The problem I'm having is that after logging in, the login window disappears (as does the options bar at the bottom of the screen), and then nothing else appears, just the mouse cursor (sometimes the loading icon, sometimes not) and an empty background image, no icons, no menus. It doesn't matter how long I leave it for, nothing ever happens from this point on. I am technical, however, unfortunately ,I'm very new to Linux (something I'd like to remedy) so I'm a bit stuck with what to try next.
View 9 Replies View Relatedwhat would happen if aptitude needed to ask me a question, (like which config file to keep for a certian essential program, etc.). I don't think I've come across this problem yet, but I really wouldn't know. I do get the following lines on the screen with aptitude-gtk just about every day when I do squeeze updates and I wonder if it's not related to this same question. Does anyone know if aptitude-gtk is capable of asking you, the administrator, questions about a package that it's updating?

What If I wanted to scan a string like the following...
[Code]...
Anyhow just one giant string that's longer than my screen's width. If I simply copy and paste that string after a grep command, it seems that the terminal inserts newlines at the terminal's width and therefore not the whole string goes in. Even if I insert a quote before the beginning of the string and then paste it in, terminal still reads in a newlines somehow and obviously says command not found, etc.
I got out my old Fuji Finepix s3100 and set it to web cam mode to see if anything had changed in the world of usb video drivers. Lo and behold it worked! I can watch myself on cheese web cam booth. kewl, but I wanted more. So, just recently hearing about chatroulette on the Daily Show, I click and wahla no go . After flash comes up and asks for and receives user permission to access my hardware, I click to find a random stranger, and my camera displays yellow and blue lines across its onscreen display box. I notice that movement is noticed by the camera. If I move I notice a change in background/lines. As far as I can tell, my camera is not a fault. I mean it works for local viewing. Is this a flash or possibly a chatroulette problem?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded to Natty on my Dell 10mini. It runs great but I was wondering what the command-line input for locking the screen. I'm trying to bind a command to a key that will lock my screen and suspend my session all at once, but all I can find is the command for suspend. gnome-screensaver-command --lock doesnt seem to work on unity (obviously). Is there a variation of it that I can use?
View 2 Replies View Relatedwhen I move any window in unity it often goes full screen by accident.
Is there any way to disable this annoying behavior?
eg. grab a window, move your mouse (and the window) up until it touches the panel, and your window is full screen. This happens several times in an hour.. really annoying.
I prefer using F11 or double-click to archive the same thing. (doesnt happen by accident)
Normally when I don't do anything in minutes, screen eventually fades to black. But sometimes, maybe 1/10 screen goes to gray. I can do nothing to recover from this. I can see mousepointer and it moves, but thats it. I have to manually switch power off. What is this, is this known issue? Otherwise everything works fine. I have Asus m2n68-am

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded and installed Fedora 11 Alpha. I then installed the Nvidia drivers for my Graphics card (GeForce 7800 GTX). I discovered that Fedora 11 is using a Beta version of Xorg and an incompatible ABI. So, my drivers would not work with Fedora 11 without me dowgrading the Xorg server. I decided to reinstall Fedora 10 instead.
I started the install, and when the installation loaded the generic video drivers, my screen showed only a bunch of colored vertical lines. Fedora 10 doesn't allow me to install in text mode.
Ever since the problem with Flash started up a few days ago, (Videos Lagging/jumpy/jerky horridly.) I decided to finally switch from 9.10 to 10.04...all was going well until a few minutes ago while I was browsing themes and running Konversation, the skin flickered black/green a few times then white vertical lines started appearing down from the top of the screen to about the middle, (Almost looked like the teeth on a haircomb). I had to then shutdown and restart. What id like to know is are the two connected (My earlier flash problem and this) or how I can fix it, so far it hasn't happened again but I'm starting to worry, I've never had problems with Ubuntu until a few weeks ago.
