Ubuntu :: Make Application Load In One Monitor?
May 10, 2010
I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 on my laptop, and am amazed how well everything is working, even on my dual-monitor setup! But, I also have a problem with said setup. I downloaded and installed the XBMC media center, but whenever I open up the application, it displays across both monitors. Since my two monitors are of different sizes and at different heights, it looks really bad. Is there a way to always force it to load on just one monitor?

I am using Fedora 15 with dual monitors. I want to make an application open automatically on the second monitor. In particular I would like to make Firefox open on the second monitor. For now I am just manually moving Firefox to the second monitor, but if I close it down and open it again, it automatically opens on the first monitor. Is there a way to make it automatically open on the second monitor?
I have two Nvidia cards in my machine. I did have one monitor connected to each video card, but I was unable to get a dual monitor set up to work like this, so I plugged both monitors into one card and the dual monitor set up works fine like. Is there a way to make dual monitors work if you have a monitor connected to each video card? When I had a monitor connected to each video card, I could see the second monitor in the Nvidia settings, but it always disabled it. I could enable it, but it would grey out twin view. After I enabled it, I'll restart the X server, the second monitor would auto disable again.
I'm using Gnome, I don't have the above issue in Xfce4 - it works fine with one monitor connected to each card in Xfce4. However, I want to use Gnome. I've searched, but have not been able to find a solution to either of these issues. I read you can fix the application to launch in a second monitor with wmctrl. I've tried to install it with yum, but I get the message: No package wmctrl available.

I had Fedora 7 and Windows Vista dual booting on my computer. I just installed Fedora 10. When the live CD asked me where to install it, I chose "Remove all Linux Partitions and create default layout" The installation went perfectly, but now when reboot my computer, it boots directly into Fedora; GRUB does not load to ask me which OS I want to load. I know I did not overwrite Vista because I can still view my Vista files through Fedora. Here is my grub.conf file:
[Code]...
What do I need to do to make GRUB load again upon booting?

I have debian lenny, when I run an application is slow to load (example: iceweacel open and it takes, I can hold him iceweacel work normally), I tried to change from gnome to another and the same thing, went down some services (samba, squid) and nothing. I open a terminal and it takes, I want to duplicate it and do it fast. From a terminal without X (tty1) with root run mc and moves quickly, also run as root "sudo mc" and takes to boot.Any action done with sudo it takes to run.Can not be what it takes to make starting the applications, not the PC because it is new, and from one moment to another I began to pass this

I have a laptop running Ubuntu hooked up to a TV via a VGA to S-Video converter with the VGA-out through an external monitor, and I am trying to find a way to set vlc or mplayer to open fullscreen in the external monitor by default. Eventually I want to be able to hit enter on a video file and have it play on the TV without any dragging to the external monitor. I have googled around a bit, checked the monitor settings options, and looked through the media player options but so far can't find anything.

We have an in-house developed Java application deployed on Red Hat Enterprise version 6.0, on an IBM hardware X3630 N3 model 64-bit server with 6 core processors. Apparently, when the application is running, it is picking up only 2 processes, at random. Hence, the load is not being distributed equally and occupied processors are showing 100% utilisation. How to resolve this so that all 6 processors are being utilised for proper load sharing.

I have an embedded server running Ubuntu which is on a network with a lot of wireless AP's. The AP's doesn't support SNMP or anything else, so I monitor if they are up or down by simply pinging them continuously.
My question is if there is anything I could install on the server that could provide me with a webpage where I could see the ping time to the AP's? So it just shows a list of the IP's I have told it to ping, and what their latest response time is. This is what I basically need, but if it were more advanced than that, and could give warnings if ping time were to high etc.

I am on a slow Internet connection and it really makes me mad if something gets downloaded in background (like automatic update of any software) without my knowledge.
How can I monitor my network traffic sorted according to the "which binary file is using how much"? I can find the total transfer rate in "System Monitor" in Gnome, but what if I want to find for individual process. There are softwares like netmonitor in Windows, but how can I achieve that in UBUNTU LINUX.
GUI application will be nice, command line software will also be fine..

I am running a server that is mostly headless, but does run the Gnome environment (I have ubuntu-desktop installed). I usually administer it via VNC over SSH. My problem is that when I reboot the system over SSH, the system fails to fully load the GUI, which prevents me from connecting via VNC (although SSH still works).
When I connected a monitor and rebooted, the system booted up fine. It appears that the GUI will not load without an attached monitor, which never happened before in previous Ubuntu versions. I do use many commands but prefer a GUI for certain tasks and visualization of my work since my system has the resources to spare. Running Lucid Lynx

We have a server that is running RHEL4 that occasionally spikes in load average above 10 and we have no idea what is causing it. We would like to know if there are any free tools or a script that when the load average hits a certain point it will trigger the system to start logging the processes to see what is happening. Usually by the time we get logged into the system the load average is on its way down. If someone has a better idea please let me know.

I know how to get root access in iConnect and ssh into it. I wanted to know whether we can install any applications on it using the package manager and what package manager it supports, like apt(debian based) or is it based on some other distribution.

After using the "nomodeset" option from the live cd I was able to get the live CD to boot to perform the install onto an SSD.
Upon the first boot I get the same screen that I was presented without the "nomodeset" option specified on the live cd and I'm pretty stumped as to how to get this machine booting now... here's a picture of the lovely screens I get.
Sorry in advance for the GIGANTIC picture... but perhaps the gibberish will stimulate your thread-answering abilities

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?

I'm running 10.10 64 bit. I have a vpn service and I'd like to configure my bittorrent client to use only the vpn link (and NOT continue through my plain-old ISP service if the vpn drops). I imagine there are a few possible approaches to this:
1.have a script that checks if ppp0 is up an terminates the bt client if not
2.configure the bt client to use only ppp0 (though I tried this with qtorrent and it switches over to eth0 if vpn drops...)

I'm a beginner to Ubuntu so this is probably an easy question, but: I installed a windows application using Wine and that worked, it launched the application just fine. But now after restarting the computer I can't see how to run that application again. It would be nice to make a desktop icon for it.

I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how to make rhythmbox appear when I load it? At the moment it just puts an icon in my notification tray. However, I just want it to appear so I can choose music! Does anyone know how I can just make rhythmbox appear on screen when I start it up?On a related note, does anyone know why rhythmbox has this odd behaviour? If I'm starting the music program, there's pretty much a 100% chance I want to start playing music, and I can't do that without looking at my music list in the player. So why would it not appear by default?

I upgraded to jessie today and I am having problems with my background. When I log in, the background tries to start on the external monitor but then it fails to load. I can change the background in settings but it does not show up. The background just becomes black and I am not sure why.
