View 6 RepliesThis obnoxious bar has just appeared in Smplayer at the top of the screen. It stays there even when I go full screen. Now full screen isn't full screen and there are black edges on both sides of the screen. I have not be able to figure out how to hide it. I do not need or want this onscreen display. How can I configure Smplayer to make this go away? How can I get my 16:9 full screen aspect ratio back? I have done nothing to mplayer or smplayer as far as editing any or changing any configuration files. I tried several videos and it displays on all of them. It was not there last time I used Smplayer.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy server is showing as 95% full, but when I check any folders underneath and files, they add up to about only a few percentage of the space.
- /tmp - 2GB LUN
- currently using 1.8GB of the 2GB
- files in the directory add up to only 50MB (I've checked for hidden files as well.. 'ls -lah'
Anyway else of telling how /tmp can have so much usage when there appears there is hardly anything in it?
What will happen to the server if /tmp is full?
I have Ubuntu 8.04 on an IBM laptop w/ 18 GB HD & 512 MB RAM - the HD in the past was just half full; today (after not using the laptop for several weeks), I needed 64 or so updates which seemed to progress fine; however on re-booting and checking the disc analyzer, the HD is now 97% FULL! I was wondering if perhaps the updates installed did not clean up previous software leading to many files being left on the HD - I've never ran into this situation before, and would like some advice as to my first steps in figuring out this problem.

I have a total of four partitions on my Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) system:
sda1 = /boot
sda2 = /
sda3 = swap
sda4 = /home
My boot partition is 94 MiB which I was recommended would be more than enough space. Turns out my /boot partition is full and I now get a message every time I log into Ubuntu saying, 'The volume "boot" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining.' Also after installing GParted to check up on my partitions I got the following error in apt-get:
Code:
Setting up gparted (0.4.5-2ubuntu1) ...

I have no experience messing around in my /boot partition besides modifying GRUB. I think most likely I just have too many kernel versions installed in the /boot partition?
I few months ago I was forced to do a fresh clean install of Karmic becasue my root partition (then 80 GB) was full. I shooulkd have used a LiveCD to resize partitions then but I didn't so when I installed Karmic this time I ended up with a 160GB partition for /.Color me surprised when last night I got a message that / was at less than 5% free space.
1. I routinely do a apt clean so the cache is not an issue.
2. I do not store backups on /. I use rsnapshot to same backup on an external hard drive.
3. I use Virtualbox but all my hard drives (VDI) are on /home.
i have a failing hdd and need to run ubuntu from a usb stick instead of normal.i dont need to know how to have a live image on a usb stick and install to the hdd cause i dont have a hdd that works (or the money to buy a new one) what i need to know is if there is a way for me to run a full featured install of ubuntu from my usb stick.by full featured i mean, able to save options and general usage and not the "try" feeling of a live os.
btw the reason for all this is having a computer telling me all the time since installing ubuntu 9.10 that i have many bad sectors.when trying to erase the whole hdd with dnk (dariks nuke somthhing) i get the same message so i dont think its a scam (read about a bug in 9.10 causing working hardware to look like failing)i really need some help.also if anyone knows if theres a way to make a bad sectored hdd work again.
Earlier this morning I made my girlfriend an account on my Ubuntu desktop, I entered all the information, (username, full name etc.) and it worked fine. When I went to GDM I noticed that it displays both her full name, and username, but I seem to have my first name only as both my full name and user name (it just says "luke" twice).
I hadn't really paid attention to this before, but now it looked really odd with my girlfriend's full name, but only my first name. So I went to change it. Where to do that? I tried System->Preferences->About Me and System->Administration->Users and Groups, but I can't see "Full name" anywhere. In the end I used chfn on the command line to do it, but surely Ubuntu 10.04 isn't missing graphical a way to change a users full name is it?
I'm on 10.04. Cloning a vdi yesterday, I managed to produce a 'disk is almost full' message. Deleted some movies and wanted to try the cloning again today, but starting my laptop, I get an ugly gray login screen.When I login, it looks almost good (some console writing to fast to read) but then it falls back to login informing me 'Install Problem: The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly."

View 3 Replies View RelatedSo i just installed ubuntu server 8.04. Got everything set up and started putting my files on it. 6 Hours of copying later I get a message saying that my Disk is full. This is a 1.5TB HD and it stopped copying at 269GB. fdisk shows the drive as 1.5TB, and ls -sh shows that only 269GB have been used. Yet I cannot add any more files. The other weird thing is that df doesn't show the hard drive, yet I know it is mounted and accessible. If it makes a difference I have it formatted to ext3.

After upgrading from .04 to .10, My audio is full of static. I've also noticed that it is at a lower volume even with the sliders maxed than if I boot into Windows. It used to be that I could leave the speakers alone and booting into either gave the same level of volume. Now, I have to max out the volume on the physical speakers to get a similar level of volume to my Windows install.
To describe the sound problem, it sounds as if one of the sliders has been pushed too far and it's distorting the sound. I've tried it across several applications(rhythmbox, browser), and all audio is like this.
I've looked at the audio settings on the dock panel, but nothing seems amiss(and in fact doesn't leave much room for manipulation).
I have tried the fix listed in the sticky found in the general category:
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0 but the problem persists after reboot.
I've waited, hoping that an update would resolve the issue, but over a week has passed and I'm still using Windows due to the sound problem in my Ubu install.

Is there a way to add my full name to my user account?
I see how to add a user with a full name using:
Code:
And I've seen that if I delete my user account, and create a new one with the same UID/GID, that it would have access to my files.
Is there a command in bash which would allow you to list all users along with their full names?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just got my hands on a IBM Thinkpad T40 with a broken M$ WinXP. I used one of my old Kubuntu Intrepid LiveCDs. When I entered Virtual Console 1, I discovered that the kernel spams my session with errors, forcing me to use KDE Konsole. Later, I discovered that the LiveCD does not install due to read errors, and decided to install LFS. LFS still has that problem, which prevents me from directly booting into it (I don't have X yet, and I can't do a lot on the console with my display getting spammed),

I am trying to upgrade to 9.10 but it fails because the disk is full. I am running a Dell Mini with 16GB SSD...so there isn't a lot of free space to begin with. Added to that, I have some hefty applications (rosegarden, audacity, skype, etc) which I kind of need. Am I better off just sticking to 9.04? Are there any good ways to clean up the system and get rid of stuff that might be sticking around? I did apt-get clean and it didn't clean enough.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've started to have problems getting some streaming videos to either go full screen or go full screen properly.
On [url] when I want to watch a South Park episode full screen it pops up a little box that says "Error Full Screen Not Allowed" and if I hover my mouse over the video connection icon is says
"current video stream 750 kbps* Max video stream 800kbps Avalible in HDGo to Fullscreen *limited by this computer"
The current avaible bandwith speed averages 2500kbps and I have a 7000kbps connection with Speedboost.
When I use Windows XP I can go to full screen with South Park Videos, only in Ubuntu can I not go full screen.
With Hulu it will go into full screen but not always the porpper way. Sometimes it will go full screen but other times it will go full screen but I have to minimize the browser window and then maximize it again and the video will play full screen but apear to be playing on the desktop as wallpaper. I don't get this problem in XP.
