Ubuntu :: Load GPointing Device Settings On Startup?
May 19, 2011
I've running ubuntu 11.04 on my samsung 900x3A notebook and have a problem using the touchpad: I've configured my touchpad using "GPointing device settings", but everytime I reboot my system I've to start "GPointing device settings" manually to apply the settings for the current session. Is there a way to do this automatically?
Secondly I've the following problem: I cannot use "click and move" with my touchpad. For example, when I try to move a window around: Normally one would click the left button, hold it and move the window via touchpad. But every time I click the left button, any other movement with my touchpad is disabled. Is there a way around this?

I am running a debian squeeze machine on a ibm t40 laptop with window maker as my window manager. I am using gpointing-device-settings as a program to get the scroll bar on my touch pad working. unfortunately, I can't get the settings to stick after i shutdown and turn on. I have to go into the program and unclick then reclick the button. i'm using version 1.3.2 (ive tried both deb and source versions). does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? and if there is any configure files that I could configure instead of having to use the gui program.

I am having problems with my touchpad on my dv7 notebook, that I can not resolve... so I thought it would be a good idea to update the gpointing-device-settings that came with the opensuse 11.3 repositories (version 1.3.1-1.2 too old maybe)
So I downloaded the source files but when I try to ./configure, I have some errors telling my that my gtk+ and gnome-settings-daemon versions are older (that is not true, I check them and they are newer)
Here is the ./configure output:
Code:
damususe:/home/sebadamus/Downloads/gpointing-device-settings-1.5.1 # ls
aclocal.m4 configure libgpointing-device-settings.pc.in modules
autogen.sh configure.ac ltmain.sh NEWS
ChangeLog COPYING m4 po
[Code]....
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables GNOME_SETTINGS_DAEMON_CFLAGS
and GNOME_SETTINGS_DAEMON_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config. See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I want to disable the touchpad while typing on my girlfriends samsung nc10 netbook. (she always selects and deletes text accidentally.. )
I though, this would be possible with gpointing-device-settings. But there, the touchpad is not shown, only a IMPS/2Logitech wheel mouse is shown. Although there is only the touchpad and no mouse...
So how can I enable touchpad configuration there?

When I turn on the computer, the Grub2 shows up and asks me to choose what OS to start. And from today on, whatever I choose, I end up with nothing. When Linux (Ubuntu) is chosen, then the blinking logo is shown (depicting it's loading) and after some time I can only see a black screen. In case when Windows is chosen, the black screen appears immediately. Kive cd works fine but don't know what I could do with it. A week ago I changed a booting order in my BIOS, so that GRUB2 is loading very fast now. Then I also chose: sudo dkpg-reconfigure grub-pc and selected the disk that had my boot partition. For a week or so it worked fine.

I edited some file in /etc and it stopped loading, but after upgrading to natty it loads again. I'm already starting X manually from /etc/event.d/tty7, but the X started from gdm is the one I see on the screen. I don't have a keyboard, so I can't switch to the console with the right X after startup. Is the only option to deinstall gdm, or is there a way to make it not start?

When I attempt to create a USB Live Xubuntu setup via the Startup Disk Creator, the settings for the Persistent drive are disabled/gray. When I perform the setup, no extra space is reserved for the persistant drive.
I've used the same USB drive for Live Ubuntu installations in the past and had no problems.
Does the USB Startup Disk Creator work with Xubuntu?

I've found mentions of this problem in Lucid Lynx, but this is a recent development for my system, since I've been running Ubuntu since Gutsy Gibbon.On start up my gdm theme/icons appear for a second, but by the time I've entered my keyring password the theme reverts to the system default (what Synaptic package manager looks like). It also does not load my start up programs Gnome-Do and Screenlets. My theme only appears if I go into the Appearances menu, and Gnome-Do only starts if I pick it from the Accessories menu (and I've gone into Gnome-Do's preferences and clicked on "start GNOME-DO at login"). About once in a blue moon it will load everything correctly.

I am still new to Ubuntu but I am having a problem when booting into Ubuntu 10.10. When I turn on the computer, after a few screens go by I see a boot manager giving me the option of:
1: Earlier Versions of Windows
2: Windows 7
3: Ubuntu
All OSes are working with no trouble. But when I try to boot into Ubuntu, I get another boot screen that states:
1: Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-28-generic
2: Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-28-generic (recovery mode)
3: Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic
4: Ubuntu, Linux 2.6.35-22-generic (recovery mode)
5: Windows 7 (loader) (on /dev/sda2)
When I choose 1 or 3, quite often it doesn't load up the startup GUI, it loads up some command line crap that I don't understand yet, where I type in reboot until I finally get Ubuntu loaded, this happens several times then finally works to the point I can log in. What could be going on, my install is inside Windows 7, not a full install if that matters. What is the difference between line 1 and 3?

I am trying to use the Device Actions under System Settings > Advanced to automatically copy image files from my CF-card from my camera. I home someone has a few minutes to help me. I am not sure how do identify my device.
I have watched udevadm monitor, while I insert the card into the card reader. One of the lines that appear is this: UDEV [1274814950.587968] add

After cleaning up my son's Vista desktop and backing it up, I installed 11.04 alongside Vista.
Issue #1:
Using the Ubuntu Requirements Guide, which says a minimum of 5GB is needed, I went ahead and allocated 15GB, to be safe and allow for future growth. But when it boots, I get this message:
This Computer has only 244.6 MB of disk space remaining
Ubuntu confirms that the installation took up 13+GB of space. Why is this, and how do I correct it? I would be fine with deleting the partition and starting over, but do not want to damage his Vista installation.
I don't understand why these space requirements aren't explained better or even consistent between different official Ubuntu sources. Here's one for 11.04 that specifies that "You must have at least 44MB of memory and 500MB of hard disk space to perform a normal installation." Now, 'normal installation' implies to me that everything is installed, so I don't get it.
Issue #2:
When I turn on the computer or reboot, I get this floating box:
Monitor Is Working
92.5khz 58hz
Out Of Scan Range
Change PC Setting
This does not disappear until it has booted Ubuntu, so I do not get any menu to choose between Ubuntu and Vista. Why is this and what's the fix?
Issue #3:
When I plug in his USB Wireless device, the device does not light up, there is no popup box in Ubuntu, and the device does not show up in the Wireless Settings box. How do I get Ubuntu to see this device (or any newly plugged in device) so that it can look for the appropriate driver?

I have Ubuntu 10.04 LTS installed on my HP Compaq Presario CQ60. Unfortunately the screen is busted & I'm using an external LCD. It boots directly onto the LCD, but the resolution is 800x600 by default, the only other option is 640x480. I'm assuming its using the VESA drivers for the graphics. I've managed to temporarily fix the resolution to 1024x768 by running the following in terminal for every session:
[code]...
I've added a document to /etc/init.d so that it may be loaded on startup, but it does not seem to work.

I had a minor problem with my ubuntu install, and a person said to go to startup manager and select reset to original settings. I did this and when I restarted It asked me to boot ubuntu 9.10, which would not work as I upgraded long ago. Now all I get is the option to boot 9.10, and I really want to get back into my computer. Running ubuntu 10.04 with latest updates as if 25 september New Zealand Time.

Recently installed some minor software, some games and Ubuntu Tweak, I am not sure if that's what caused this issue or not. I shutdown after the installations, then when I tried to start back up the small, white ubuntu logo appears just like it normally does, then it just goes to a black screen. I turned off the computer and restarted in (Recovery Mode). It goes about its thing then it says it is waiting for root file system, then after about 30 seconds it says "Gave up waiting for Root File System" how to fix this without reinstalling?

The program "qtconfig" does not load saved config on startup.
I just installed slackware-current from today's update (mirrored from ftp.slackware.com). The program "qtconfig" seems to have saved my changes to "~/.config/Trolltech.conf". However, after restarting qtconfig all options become the defaults.
I verified this in both the C locale and a UTF-8 locale.
Another computer of mine has a -current system from a few months ago and doesn't have this problem.

I just did a clean install of 11.04. Now when I try to boot the machine I get the following error: Quote:
error: no such device
error: no such disk
error: you need to load the kernel first
Then I am taken to the Grub menu. Selecting anything from the Grub menu brings this error back up. So now I'm stuck with a computer that won't work.?

I've a custom startup script myscript.sh placed inside /etc/init.d/ directory with below lines to disable usb bluetooth device "hci0". This happens on Ubuntu Lucid.
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Disabling hci0 bluetooth usb dongle"
/usr/sbin/hciconfig hci0 down &
Here is the /var/log/daemon.log
When I rebooted it worked fine disabling the bluetooth dongle. But, later on, it gets enabled! I've lost it!
Code:
