Ubuntu :: Monitor Not Displaying GUI ?
Feb 3, 2010
I've just installed Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit using Unetbootin, and I've managed to get into command line Ubuntu fine. I installed gnome (I think gnome, the command was "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"), typed "startx", and my monitor instantly went to a screen saying "NO SUPPORT". I rebooted, and this time a black screen with a white, low-resolution Ubuntu logo appeared for a few seconds, before "NO SUPPORT" appeared again. My graphics card is an ATI Radeon X1950XT AGP, and my "monitor" is a TV taking HDMI input through an adapter cable from a DVI out, if either of those pieces of info is useful. I'm now back in command line Ubuntu having booted into recovery mode, and I'm using a text-only browser for the first time.

I have 5 Dell servers that I recently upgraded from 11-12 and have noticed an issue that after removing and re-attaching a monitor I am presented with the login screen. After logging in I am just presented with the background image, nothing else. I have logged in using ssh and restarted gdm with no effect. init 3 followed by init 5 still has no effect. Only when I restart with or without monitor attached does it start working as expected again.Has anybody else seen this issue? It was not present in Fedora 11 on these machines.

I installed Karmic on an older PC I had laying around, and the only trouble I am having is with screen resolution. It uses an old ATI chipset (onboard) for video, and it doesn't seem to do EDID correctly, so I can't display anything higher than 800x600. I have tried creating an xorg.conf, but it's still not working. How can I tell Xorg to ignore the fact it can't detect a widescreen monitor and display something larger than 800x600? I noticed the log says the sync's are out of range, but I am not sure how to fix it.
Here is my current xorg.conf.
Code:
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "X.org Configured"
Screen 0 "Screen0" 0 0
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
[Code]....

I have a dual monitor setup in Ubuntu, with my main monitor on the right and the monitor I want to extend to on the left monitor, but I can't seem to get it to do this, it always has the 'desktop' on the left monitor and then extends onto what I want to be my main monitor. I have an ATI Radeon 4350 Graphics card.

Is there any way to put a dual monitor wallpaper on a single monitor configuration using desktop wall? Using only 1/3 or so per wall. Something that will have the effect like the scrolling wallpaper feature on Android/iPhone.

I am now using Ubuntu 9.10. The prob is I am not able to increase the resolution of display. It is showing only 800 x 600 display. While trying to increase the resolution it is showing "Unknown Monitor". So, how can I detect the monitor so I can increase the resolution of my system.

Currently I have two 1920x1080 screens running in Twinview on my Geforce 275 graphics card. Want I want to do is a quick simple way of disabling my secondary monitor when playing video games or using xbmc to watch movies, etc. I've tried a few applets but they require the xandr function which I think Nvidia doesn't support.
Is there a way to disable this quickly other than loading up nvidia-settings and disabling the monitor everytime. I don't really want to use two seperate x sessions and xinerama due to the fact you can't use compositing.

I have persistent video tearing my second monitor (Mitsubushi HDTV). I have tried everything that was suggested with some improvement. I have no issue with tearing if I add the following to my xorg.conf
Quote:
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Disable"
EndSection
Is it possible to disable composite for one monitor only and keep it for the other. Or at lease is it possible to have compiz for one monitor only and disable it for the other.

I have two hard drives in my compy. One is 500 gb and the other is ~40 gb. I tried to install ubuntu on the 40 gb one because the 500 gb one is starting to die. When I use a live cd to install and partition the harddrive.
It shows I have 3:
/dev/sdb] and /dev/mapper/nvidia_fhidaeja are physically the same drive but appear as two, independent but equal drives.I kinda just ignore it and move on. I install ubuntu and try to boot and I receive an error saying that grub can't be found. I install and repeat two more times and get the same message. I'm thinking the the "extra" drive has something to do with it, but I'm not sure. I've tried reformatting it and resetting bios but nothing seems to work.

I have run into an issue trying to install Ubuntu on my desktop. I am trying to install Ubuntu along side of Windows 7, but on a separate drive. When I chose the option to install on an entire drive, the installation worked. However, when I choose Ubuntu from GRUB, nothing displays. The same result happens for the recovery mode (Windows works fine).

I'm playing with dual monitors. I have an NVIDIA GT220 set up so that my monitor and my TV are running as extended desktops. Everything is working well enough, but there is one annoying bit I've noticed:
If I'm watching ..... on monitor 1 in fullscreen and working on monitor 2, clicking anything in monitor 2 kills full-screen in monitor 1. Is this something that can be fixed somehow or is it a hardwired "feature"?

I am facing problem with the fresh installation of Fedora 11. (I have moved from Fedora 9). When I try to view videos on ..... or use the Cheese Webcam Booth, I get blurred lines on the screen and I am unable to see any video or pic.
Also I noticed that the when i go to System > Preferences>Display, it shows me UNKOWN MONIOR.
However, if I got to System>Administration>Display and enter the su password, it shows me correct monitor and the graphics driver.
I am not sure if my original is related to the Unknown Monitor.
I also tried to install Nvidia driver but it crashed the xserver and I had remove the driver.
My Monitor is LG 700E and Graphics card is from intel. as I am not able watch any video.

I am having problems getting my external monitor to work. When I plug in the monitor, both the laptop screen and the external monitor go black. When I unplug the monitor, the laptop screen works again.
When I startup with the external monitor plugged in, neither screen works or teh computer hangs or something.
I have had the external monitor going on a couple of occasions. I did manage to configure my monitors through System Settings > Display. I turned off the laptop monitor as I just want to use the external. But after rebooting, things didn't work.
I have a Thinkpad E420, Fedora 15

I have an external monitor connected to my laptop (extended display). I always drag the Totem player from the laptop screen to external monitor to watch video files. I wonder, if the Totem player can be set to open in the external monitor automatically, everytime I open it?

My software and hardware information are as follows. I have Fedora 12 and KDE 4.4.5 installed on a Dell Vostro 1500 laptop. I believe it's a 64 bit processor; it's an Intel Core 2 Duo CPU. The external monitor is a Dell as well.
My problem is that my system does not seem to be detecting an external monitor that I have connected. Everything else is working just fine; however, I would like to have the option of attaching an external monitor. When I plug the external monitor into the laptop, the external monitor remains black and appears to be in power save mode. The results of xrandr -q (with or without the external monitor attached: it doesn't appear to change) are as follows.
Code:
How can I get my laptop to recognize that the external monitor is even connected? Let me know if I can be more specific or provide additional details.

This is a repost of my initial problem, I need some one who knows what they are doing more than I too take a look at this command output and give some sort of direction/clue/etc on what I'm doing wrong or missing.
Is my xorg.conf missing some vital line(s) or setting?
My best guess is that i'm missing something to tell the Xserver to use both screens, as the Xorg.0.log does not talk about trying to bring up the intel display; but this is just a hunch.
I'm running kubuntu 9.04 with 2 monitors: on-board intel video and a PCI nvidia display: I am using my nvidia display fine, but still can not get my 2nd display (the intel) working. What the heck am I missing?

This is a triple-monitor setup with two video cards, where the mouse pointer gets "stuck" if it tries to cross from one video card to the next one. It worked correctly in openSUSE 11.2 and doesn't work in openSUSE 11.3 with the same xorg.conf. This is a 64-bit openSUSE 11.3 with xorg 7.5-11.3 (the openSUSE prepackaged version). I've already tried NVidia drivers 256.53-16.1 (the openSUSE NVidia repository version) and 260.19.12 (the latest off of the NVidia website).
This is the same xorg.conf that I used successfully in openSUSE 11.2. I tried a new automatically generated xorg.conf using nvidia-settings and it had the same problem. This forum won't let me upload the relevant files, but here: [URL] is a tar-ball with my xorg.conf, Xorg.*.log, /var/log/messages, and the NVidia debugging output.

just setup suse 11.3 , put on the Nvidia 19.29-22.1 drivers via yast , no kms is set in inetd , nomodeset on grub boot line etc... Even tried installing the driver " the hard way " dual monitors come up, setup xinerama to "Extend" my desktop , and the main monitor ( right side ) is good, visually the left monitor (2ndary) is good.. but whenever I move my mouse over to the left screen the mouse pointer dissapears, flickers along the right hand border of that screen... and if i move the cursor back to the original screen i have to really fight to get it back to the main screen....Copy of my xorg.conf , still very basic...

I was running 9.10-64, upgraded from 9.04 on a 160GB separate boot drive with a 1TB drive for storage. I had mdadm software RAID on 3 500GB drives. I copied off the contents of the md0 RAID device, formatted from ext3 to ext4, then copied it all back. I operated for several weeks this way with enhanced performance and no issues.note: All drives are on MB SATA-II.I wiped out everything and reloaded the 160GB drive with 10.04-64. I removed dmraid and set up mdadm as before with no immediate problems.
The next day, when I pulled up the contents of the 1TB drive (mapped to /1000), it displayed the contents of the root instead. Curious, I attempted to tunnel down to the /1000 folder from within its own listing of /, and saw no files listed. I proceeded to delete the files in the /1000 folder, whereupon I found that my system became unstable. I must have somehow been deleting files from the root itself.I reloaded again. To check if the SATA connector to the 1TB drive may be somehow suddenly faulty, I reordered the connectors and set up the boot priority in the BIOS to match the new configuration. The next morning, I was once again able to see the contents of / when ls'ing /1000. I carefully checked the entry in fstab, the fdisk -l output, and made sure that the directory wasn't somehow showing as a link.
For the next attempt I decided to take ext4 and mdadm completely out of the equation, hoping it was a bug with some combination of the two under the new kernel or something else which could be corrected by replacing the software RAID with a physical controller at a later date. Instead of RAID, I simply formatted each of the 500's as ext3 and mapped them to /500-1 through /500-3 respectively. However, after a day of normal operation, I am now able to see the contents of / when I ls /500-3. The other 4 drives appear to continue operating normally.I have been unable to pull up a similar post prior to creating this one. Perhaps I don't know how to properly search for this issue. If anyone has seen something similar, please link me to the solution.

I get a lot of email from different yahoogroups, but am having a bit of trouble in one group.
Every so often I'll get a message that is written in rich text and sent from the group's web post feature, but only half of it is displayed. If I check the message source the entire message is there, and if I change Evolutions settings to plain instead of HTML then the entire message is there.
The weird thing is it only seems to be the messages from one particular poster that is being cut off.
It'd be nice if I could stick with HTML and Evolution.

My local server isn't displaying images or proper css for my web pages. The pages display just fine on the webserver, but locally no images show, most of the css declarations aren't there and some of the php includes won't show on the page either. It's as if it's 10% working. All the files are in the right place. I changed directory permissions and tried restarting apache but that didn't help.

I have a LAMP environment on Ubuntu 9.04 desktop. I created a directory in /home/user that I use for all my development work called /projects.
I am able to access this directory via localhost/projects as the URI in my web browser; I see a listing of all the separate directories and I am able to click on each directory and see its contents.

I have default, default-ssl and projects in my /etc/apache2/sites-available directory. I haven't changed these files since I first created them. I haven't changed the permissions on any of the directories within /home/user/projects since I first set this up.
What can I do to access this directory from the address bar of a browser again?

I'm relatively new with Ubuntu- but I'm pretty experienced otherwise with computers. I just installed Ubuntu on my Intel machine and it seemed to be running a little slow so I checked the System Monitor and found that there were 2 CPU's being displayed (I only have 1) and that one or both were maxed out at 100%. What I have for hardware is one Intel Atom 1.6Ghz processor, with 2GB of ram. When I check what resources are running, none of them seem to be taking up that much memory (firefox being the most at 60mb).Any advice on what might be going on here? How is it displaying 2 CPU's when I only have one?

I don't exactly know how to describe the problem, that's why I included a screenshot of the desktop wallpaper. You can see a small copy of the desktop image on the left corner and the whole desktop with the same image. I changed the desktop and the same thing happened.

My desktop is not displaying files that I put on the desktop days ago. I checked all four workspaces.All the files are still accessible from Nautilus > Desktop.When I drag a file icon (from Nautilus to the empty desktop) and release, the icon does not drop on the desktop, the icon quickly moves back to the folder where it came from.The top and bottom panels of the desktop still operate normally.I am running Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit with classic-Ubuntu desktop.I also noticed that Startup Applications is missing "chrome" that I added this morning.I am the only user on this system. The system is a duel boot Ubuntu - win7. The Ubuntu partition is formated ext4 and there is a separate NTFS-formated partition named "storage" for folders that are accessible from both Ubuntu and win7. That should not be an issue because the desktop folder is on the Ubuntu partition, /home/[user]/Desktop. I have not booted win7 in the last few days.The desktop first
appeared empty after I did two things:
1) installed CryptKeeper from Ubuntu Software Center
2) Enable Automatic Login
After I clicked Applications > System > CryptKeeper, the desktop did not respond to mouse clicks. I did not find any CryptKeeper instructions. I don't know how to use CryptKeeper.The login screen still asked for credentials after I rebooted.So I uninstalled CryptKeeper, disable Automatic Login, and rebooted. But the desktop is still not displaying the files.Could CryptKeeper have changed something in my profile?Does Ubuntu have a log file to see exactly what I did?What else can I try to restore my desktop and enable Automatic Login?

One of the minor changes to Ubuntu seems to be that apt wants to display changelogs using less, which requires user interaction before apt proceeds to install the update. This is a kind of an annoyance when you're using a script to propagate updates to a whole slew of machines. Is there a way to turn this off -- or even better, change apt's use of less to cat. (I don't mind the changelogs being displayed b/c I log everything my scripts do. I just want to avoid the need for user input for automation purposes.)
