I have been running s-video to my tv now for quite some time and am still running hardy. I would like to upgrade to 9.10 and push my dvi out to my tv as a second monitor.(would that be better quality?) I will have to reconfigure my x config like I had to with the s-video in hardy, or will 9.10 recognize it in my monitor settings?
View 6 RepliesWhen Karmic came along, I upgraded and it was possible for the first time to get a dual monitor display working using only the GUI apps supplied. (I think I used screen resolution) It worked out of the box and took no time whatsoever.
I had a dual monitor set up working with 2 1024 x 768 monitors, with a desktop spanning both, and a background picture doing the same.
The Lucid update has just spectacularly broken this, along with a large number of desktop type changes that were unwanted.
The version of Ubuntu was the usual vanilla, but with enough K stuff installed to make K3b work. The card is a Radeon 9250SE.
Give up and re-install Karmic? Wait for some sort of upgrade to allow either Monitors or Multiple Screens to work - the option to remove cloning is greyed out in one and unticking clone in the other does nothing? Try some other distro?
Does anyone know of a decision to remove any functionality from Lucid that existed in Karmic? Is there any useful background to this that is perhaps not obvious?
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.
So I have an EVO and am trying to learn how to use adb. What I'm trying to do is push a new bootanimation.zip to it. I have already downloaded the android.sdk and am wondering what to do now?have so far been able to, in terminal, do:"sudo su" and it logs me in as root...then I try "./adb remount" and it says insufficient permissions for device. Then I try "./adb devices" and it says "????????????no permissions"During these steps I had my phone hooked up via USB and had USB debugging on and USB storage on
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am having some problems with my CPU speed detailed here: [URL]
Basically it is restricting my computer to 800Mhz after 10-15mins for no reason. With Windows I was able to use something called Notebook Hardware control to ramp up the speed to the max of 1.73GHz. With the cpufreq applet, it won;t do anything.
Is there another program I can use to override the speed?
I upgraded from 10.04LTS to 10.10 dell display moniter worked. Then upgraded to 11.04 and get no display. I can hold the Shift key down during boot and get Grub menu, using the Linux (recovery) and get a command prompt. If I run "sudo startx" , I get a fatal error " nvidia module" not found. How do I get the nvidia module installed from command prompt? All my problems started originally form installing NVIDIA GeForce 210 display adapter ( for dual screen & HDMI connection to my LCD flat screen TV). My motherboard has a built-in GeForce display adapter. I was going to re-install the whole Ubuntu 11.04 but it will not boot from my CDROM. I can boot "Puppy Linix" with my CDROM. Puppy Linux works great and on my monitor. I have no idea why Ubuntu 11.04 will not boot.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently upgraded from 10.04 to 11.04 in order to fix a weird problem I was having in which I was forced to reinstall NVidia drivers every single time I booted into Ubuntu. Fortunately, The problem went away after the upgrade, but it was replaced with a bigger problem called "Unity". After a few minutes of being unable to literally do anything in this Unity interface, I logged out and used the "Classic Ubuntu" which would be GNOME 2.32.1. This interface was missing many of my old GNOME Panel applets, and it was unable to be patched with the unofficial vertical task bar fix, making "Classic Ubuntu" nearly as ineffective as Unity.
I decided to go the route of Avant Window Navigator as my replacement vertical task bar. It works great! I have it working together with a crippled GNOME Panel with just enough functionality to be good enough for my heavy development work. There's only one problem... I can't find the GNOME Panel CPU Monitor applet! The one that comes with Avant does not show me cumulative CPU usage over time, which is what I need. This is what I had before the upgrade.
I upgraded a couple weeks ago and now my monitor doesn't go to sleep like it used to.
The settings in powermanagment show that it should go to sleep after 10 minutes.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
I have a Dell 8100 with an NVIDIA graphics card. I had previously installed Ubuntu Hardy Herron and everything worked fine.
Today I upgrade to LTS. The system rebooted and the Grub boot loader displayed my list of O/S when I selected the LTS, the monitor shutdowns and displays a message about best resolution should be 1280 X 1024.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
I know that this is a know issue with nvidia cards and that is (of course) what I have. I have tried many of the fixes that I found on these forums. Some of them seemed to work but the problem has still remained (maybe its because i'm still too new)
I have been tempted to go back to windows but I cannot let this problem drive me away from ubuntu
Before ubuntu can even boot I get this on my monitor Out of range set to 1280x1080 60Hz I get that a grub. I'm not even sure if ubuntu can even boot because my monitor won't let me see anything. I'm using the driver off the nvidia website, not the stock one that came with ubuntu.

I have a Intel DQ35JOE motherboard with integrated video (DVI and VGA). I've been running Ubuntu 8.10 for at least a year with both monitors working fine. One is a Hanns-G 27.5 inch, the other (VGA) is an older AOC 19". They were both plugged into the motherboard video plugs (it had both), and they worked side-by-side (not mirrored) just fine on 8.10.Last night I decided to go ahead and take the plunge and upgrade to the latest, because I run 9.10 on my laptop and love a lot of the new stuff. The reason I hadn't upgraded was because I feared the potential problems - which I ran into head-on this time.
Upgrade to 9.04 seemed to go fine. Then I immediately did the upgrade to 9.10. Unfortunately, my screens came up upside down and backwards. And the mouse moved the wrong way. And to click on something in the top left of the screen, I had to have my mouse on the bottom right of the screen.Well, I also received a warning that my primary hard disk was failing. So, I decided to just do a clean install of 9.10 on a new disk that I had handy - hoping it would be better if it was a clean install rather than an upgrade.
Now I can't get dual monitor to work at all, and Ubuntu seems to not recognize my monitors. If I just plug one monitor in, it works. But it won't let me adjust resolution above 1280x1024 (my big one is 1920x1200). And it says "unknown" instead of identifying the monitor.Also - at one point both monitors were appearing (but "unknown"), but mirrored, and whenever I uncheck "mirror screens" and click apply, the screen just goes black with a frozen cursor - and I can't even do CTRL-ALT-F6 to get to a terminal - it just freezes the whole computer.

Out of range Please set to 1280x1080 @ 60Hz
I get that a grub. I'm not even sure if ubuntu can even boot because my monitor won't let me see anything. I'm using the driver off the nvidia website, not the stock one that came with ubuntu.
After upgrading to 11.04, I've been experiencing this weird issue with my monitor. Every time I reboot or turn the monitor on, the colors in Ubuntu are all wrong -- really green. If I go into my monitor's control panel and go to the "Input Color Format" setting and switch it from YPbPr to RGB things go back to normal.The problem is that I can't seem to save this setting. Every time the monitor is turned off it goes back to the wrong setting. I never had this issue before so it makes me think it may have something to do with the upgrade to Natty. The monitor is a Dell SP2208WFP and it's connected to my computer through an HDMI port. I use the Intel video driver.

Upon upgrading from Karmic to Lucid, Everything comes up, seemingly fine. Once logged in to the OS, my three monitors show the desktop wallpaper as well as all the icons on the desktop. A few programs that I have set to autostart do so.
However for some reason, I can only access one of the three monitors. (And not the one with the gnome-panel.) As soon as I drag my mouse from my third monitor onto the one next to it, I loose complete control of it, and it starts dancing all over the place. If I try to drag a window from one screen to the next (using Alt-Left CLick + drag and not moving the mouse onto the other monitor), the the app goes from one side of the working monitor to the other side (like it's wrapping around). Though I can see it on the other monitor for a little bit until I get it far enough for it to wrap.
Here is my xorg.conf:
Code:

Im running 11.2-64 with the stock KDE (3.5) included with the distro. Recently I messed about attempting an update of Amarok and phonon to get the graphic EQ back for music playback. The "messing about" was not with the one click install offered on the KDE website for 4.4.2.....and interestingly the messing about was the day before they "released" 4.4.2-- with the result that I ended up. trashing" the system and having to reload (didnt loose /home tho another reason why I love SUSe....)anyway I ve been looking around and have seen problems mentioned on the KDE forum with multi monitors in their 4.x desktop environment....it is tempting to "just push the button" on the 4.4.2 install and see what happens but Im not sure I want to spend another few hours here repairing things where I have my workspace back.
This machine is used in my home office, a core quad with 2 GB of RAM, Intel motherboard and a pair of NVidia GT 8500 PCIe cards running 3 monitors..... am curious if anyone is using 4.4.2 in a multi monitor environment, how the upgrade went and any problems with X server with the new environment?
Basically, my middle mouse button (button 2) wasn't being detected by mumble when I was trying to enter a ptt key. The button itself was bound to do some weird copy-paste function, so I figured maybe that's why, so I rebound it to Shift+Right arrow using xbindkeys and xvkbd. I then went into mumble and it detected this no problem, however due to the xbindkeys config, when I press the middle mouse button it only does the bound function once.... i.e. I press it, it sends Shift+Right arrow to the X serv, but then stops, which is obviously useless for a push-to-talk button.
So, really what I am asking is, how should I go about sorting this? Is xbindkeys able to translate a keypress in sync with the mouse button (i.e if I hold the mouse button, it holds down the keys bound to it) or am I going down the wrong route and there is a better way to get middle mouse as my push to talk button on mumble. Perhaps a different keybind software?

Despite being warned from a friend of mine who works for Intel that the new version of Ubuntu 11.04 sucked? I upgraded from 10.10 which worked perfectly fine and did everything that I wanted it to except work with my COBY MP3 player which is what I hoped 11.04 would do. It all worked great until I rebooted. I previously had the main screen on the left where all of the menus are and the right screen was the 2nd monitor.
Once it rebooted it let me login and loaded the desktop but the main screen is now on the right with that stupid application bar going up the side, all of my folders, etc. are all there but NOTHING is clickable, even the icons up in the right corner where you logout, etc. will not do anything other than highlight that you have clicked on them, the hard drive light flickers for a few moments then nothing.
Also the left hand screen is completely blank unless I move the mouse cursor through it. If I just leave the computer sitting there eventually the screens go dark and the monitor lights start flashing like it is supposed to but if I wiggle the mouse the screens come back on and the mouse is there but there is no login prompt to let me log back in. Pardon my French but this OS is a piece of <bleep> and sucks just like I was told.
I noticed this weekend that I began experiencing wireless issues with the NIC (Intel 5300) on my laptop. I have had no problems with the wireless using several Ubuntu versions. This began after I installed the packages associated with the Update Manager last Friday, which included the 2.6.32-25.43 kernel update. My wireless will drop out anywhere from 10 seconds to a couple minutes later after connecting to my router. Again, I have not have any wireless issues before. Below is the end of dmesg when I enable the device.

View 2 Replies View Related- I am running with Oracle UEL 6.0 (2.6.32-100.28.5.el6) because stock RHEL 6.0 (2.6.32-71.el6 ) has issues with the async I/O driver.
- The test is a high throughput performance benchmark running on Oracle 11gR1
- I am pumping a lot of disk I/O through the system while running with enough users to max out the 8 CPUs, which get to 99+% utilization with RHEL 5.3
- The server is a 4-socket Nehalem EX X7560. Right now, only 2 cores per socket are enabled.
- There are GBs of memory left over. The disk response time of the SSD arrays is around 1ms and the arrays are capable of 4-5 times more IOPS. Same with networking, etc. The testbed is capable of maxing out 32 CPUs with RHEL 5.3 I cannot push the RHEL 6.0 CPU utilization past 95-96%. The same test on all flavors of RHEL from 4.4 to 5.3 can totally saturate the CPUs. It feels like the system is intentionally holding back some CPU cycles.
I was wondering if it were possible to have a dual boot system (XP and Debian) where when you press, say F7, you will boot into windows or if your press F6 you will boot into Linux. I have a monitor that doesn't support the initial start-up graphics
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm writing a script that performs backups from partitions on remote servers. I used to do this with ssh, but that seems to be somewhat slow, so I switched to netcat.I start a listener on the receiving server (which runs the script) like this:netcat -l -p 7000 | dd of=imagefile &and then I make the remote and start a dd piped to netcat. This works quite well started manually and the listener is waiting in the background. However, when I have cron run the same script to automate it, the netcat listener is not started, probably because the "&" thing does not work (or there is something with the piping that behaves differently then)

I would like to know if it is possible to push or pull all Windows printers (about 1000) to Redhat Advanced Server? I know normally Samba comes into play, but there i can only make connection to 1 printer at the time. Also, I must then add the printers from the Windows Print Cluster by hand. Considering the huge amount of work AND the manageable aspects ( you will then have the printers on two servers), this is not an option.
So, can I connect from the RedHat server directly to the Windows Print cluster, or, if not, at least load all printers in the CUPS configuration at once? Then I have at least connection. It's a Windows 2003 R2 print cluster with RedHat 5.3 Advanced Server. Eventually the RedHat environment will be a cluster.
