View 9 Replieshow can I rotate the pen when I rotate the screen, and I would like to share this knowledge to other people who may have the same problem I had.
I have a tablet fujitsu-siemens t5010 with installed the wacum packages by default, and the pen was working, but couldn't rotate with xsetwacom command.
In Fedora 10, most guides refer to the wacom device as "stylus" which doesn't work on Fedora 11. I run command " $ xinput list " and I found the line
"PnP Device (FUJ02e5) eraser"id=3[XExtensionKeyboard]
and some lines before there is:
"PnP Device (FUJ02e5)"id=2[XExtensionKeyboard]
^^^^^^ this is the name of the device xsetwacom command needs! ^^^^^^^
I wrote first the line with the eraser cause I suppose that even someone has different wacom model, the eraser will be easy to find by grep command ( $ xinput list | grep -i eraser ), and common in most configures.
now , the edited script I use becomes like this:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $1 == 'normal' ]
then
xrandr -o normal
xsetwacom set "PnP Device (FUJ02e5)" rotate 0
[Code].....
It would be awesome if it chat could happened automatically , simply by rotating the screen, like it happens on Vista. I'll try to find out any solution and update this post if I make it !
I have two video files taken with my phone, but unfortunately they are on their sides.
I was messing around with vlc, and found in the filters option menu, a setting to rotate the video 90 degrees, which is just what I was looking for.... BUT it won't let me save this (I guess you have to re-encode the whole file)
What is the easiest way to rotate video files (.3gp) and keep it in that state, without losing loads of quality?
Okay, so I may sound like an idiot for asking this question (whether the answer is obvious or it is not possible at all) but, how do I rotate text so that it is upside-down in Open Office Draw? I am making a Birthday Card....

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a dual Monitor Setup, both SXGA LCDs, one rotated left. With kernels and Xservers available from debian making settings appropriate kills X and apparently leaves modesetting and keyboard missconfigured - monitors say: no signal and it is not possible to switch to any VT until sysrq-unraw (alt-print-r) is pressed, which makes the system responding to keyboard, but still leaves the screens blank. Restarting the display manager sets a working mode with both screens showing the same.

I've searched and searched and I cannot find the answer. I had links2 -g working in framebuffer in the last release, but in Ubuntu 10.10, I cannot get it to work.
Problem: I do NOT have any framebuffers. /dev/fb0 etc.
I have changed my console font size in grub2 to 640x480 and it works perfectly.
I believe I have all the required framebuffer files and libraries (libs) installed, yet I do NOT have any /dev/fb0 etc.
Is there a way I can mute my laptop from the console. At times I'm in class and want to log in but... I have to make so much noise.
This will help me switch to a (Ctrl+Alt+ n) terminal and save myself from having to make such loud noises.
Is there any way to make the Hercules console work with Ubuntu 9.10?

The problem with this is that I have to go through the sound options to change the sound card every time I plug the USB card in. what i'm hoping to do is write a simple script to do the job so that I only have to click an icon on the desktop. does anyone know the commands to do this?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI wonder which are the main disadvantages of using console based music players like cmus. I was looking around for reviews and comparisons with GUI music players but didn't find a lot of information which, to me, is a sign that console based players are so much worse off that there is no need to even compare them to their graphical relatives.
However, as I see it, I gain both speed and free up system resources by running a light weight music player in the terminal rather than one with a GUI. Then, I'm not at all very knowledgeable when it comes to audio players and music files so I'm thinking I'm missing something here. But what? Do I lose some tagging functionality, playlist or equalizer options or maybe even sound quality due to different usage of sound drivers or something? Or do people simply stay away from players like cmus just because they can't point and click with the mouse? (I guess it might be hard to get them to work intuitively with USB-attached mp3-players, but that's not a probelm for me.)
I remember there is a command in the console to test the camera, without having to install any chat clients.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have one Dell Ultrasharp U3011 (30", 2560x1600) and one Dell Ultrasharp 2007FP (20", 1600x1200)
When the 2007FP is in landscape mode it matches nearly perfectly in height both pixel and physically wise to the U3011.
See my example picture from my Win 7 dual boot below:
Two Monitors? Ridiculous... by mattlach, on Flickr
The only way I was able to get this to work in Ubuntu was to run two separate X desktops and rotate the 2007FP manually in xorg.conf, and then join them by enabling Xinerama.
Two problems with this solution.
1.) Xinerama is deprecated in favor of Xrandr which I have not been able to make do this.
2.) When using Xinerama Compiz/XGL is disabled, making the desktop feel awfully flat.
Is there any way to avoid this? Is there any way to rotate just one of your displays and maintain Compiz/XGL functionality?
This is on the top computer in my signature.
How can I start a program from tty1 console text mode to be executed in tty2 console text mode? Actualy I would like to start a program (chat client cli program) in tty8 automaticaly when linux PC boots.
View 6 Replies View RelatedMy problem is that I anyway cannot get to the text console when I have run the desktop environment. When I press Ctrl+Alt+Fx (where x - number of tty console), the video adapter doesn't send signal into monitor. Keyboard also stops reacting, only Magic SysRq Key works. The same result I can see when I turn off the desktop environment (I have uninstalled gdm) or kill X-server with the "kill -9" command. The only way to get to console (except window terminal) is remote connection via SSH.
The problem occurs only when I have run X-server. When I turn on the computer, I can see start messages. Since I've uninstalled gdm, I have also access to the console after I turn on my computer. I can normally switch between tty consoles, until I type "startx" command. Everything started when I've tryed to install non-free ATI video drivers. They practically worked, because I've had some problems with them (I just don't remember what problems), so I've uninstalled them and returned to the open. Then this problem apeeared. I tried to reinstall Xorg, change kernel (installed from repos), switch off the framebuffer, but it gave nothing.

I've recently enabled the fun stuff with compiz but I've run into a sort of problem... I want 9 desktops in a 3x3 grid (yeah, weird I know) but if I'm using the cube I can only rotate left and right... which is pretty weak sauce. Is there any way to (preferred) have desktops on the top and bottom of the cube and be able to bind a key combo to rotate up and down (ctrl-alt-up/down)? I *could* put 9 desktops in a row, but I really don't like that solution - it takes too many flips to make it from one desktop to another.
Compiz is all full of beautiful (especially burning the windows on close)
I am looking for a wait to check in 3D a molecule of a crystal, and would be looking for a such 3D viewer than could rotate them:

What would be the best suited prog?
I use the hotkey ctrl+alt+left click in Blender to zoom object... So I didn't want Compiz to use the same key to move around the cube. I changed a setting in window move, and either the old or the new key works.
New is alt+1 but it does nothing, same with ctrl+alt+left click. Also, I want the move around hotkey to be something like super+m or ctrl+m etc.

extern = nice -10 mplayer -really-quiet -ao jack -cache 512 -noar -nojoystick -nolirc -noconsolecontrols -nomouseinput -demuxer lavf -lavfdopts format=mp3 -af-adv force=5:list=resample -af resample=44100:1:2:extrastereo-1.5 -
This to me at least produces a pleasant audio output but despite the -really-quiet option mplayer is still outputting text, generally something like

I've also tried the -msglevel all=-1 option and had a play with the MPLAYER_VERBOSE environmental variable, all with no joy.
Just as the title says: I installed iceweasel 6 in debian squeeze (via mozilla.debian.net) and while errors and requests are captured in the web console, I simply cannot use it to evaluate arbitrary javascript I type in it.
Does anyone have this problem as well? It's been like this since v5 as well. I already tried purging and reinstalling, as well as running with another profile.
I have installed fail2ban and it is working great. It is monitoring the auth.log and it's own log. Now here is my question... Every week, my log files rotate, which is just fine for the most part. But this also rotates the fail2ban log and removes any chance of catching a repeated IP from Sunday to Monday. Is it possible to copy a portion of the previous log to the new log?Here is my scenario of what I would like to accomplish, but I am a novice here so please be specific..
logrotate does its job as expected... then a script writes a portion of the previous log to the new log then appends a word/number after that portion (we call this log.1)...next time the log rotates (creating log.2), I want to take the portion of log.1 after the word/number and append it to log.2 along with another word/numberThis will always ensure there is at least 1 week backlog in the logs for fail2ban to track. I don't want to just change the frequency of the log-roll because it doesn't solve the issue of tracking across the log roll
Just installed 11.04 (Natty). Graphics card is Radeon 9200When I enable Cube in the compizconfig settings manager and rotate the cube, the cube goes almost black. This happens with both drag and keyboard rotate. The background is fine. Everything is defaults and no other effects are enabled.Also, the entire screen goes dark when "opacity when not rotating" is set to anything but 100%.This worked fine with with my previous version 8.04, though I think it used a proprietary driver.Questions:Should I be using a proprietary driver this card? Apparently you have to install a long list of packages first: XFree86-Mesa-libGL libstdc++ libgcc XFree86-libs fontconfig expat freetype zlib
