I have just upgraded from Karmic to Lucid and have an issue with the login screen. It defaulted to show the edubuntu logo. this is probably because I tested the edubuntu packages on my system and it thought it was a edubuntu system.
I went into /usr/share/pixmaps/splash and replaced the edubuntu-splash.png file with the Ubuntu logo png (i renamed the file).
Unfortunately this did not work and now I have a login screen with a "no image" icon.
i am able to try ubuntu and everything works fine until i try to install. the menu comes up to the first page where it tells you to plug in your machine and make sure there is enough disk space and network connectivity. when i hit next on this page the mouse icon changes but the next page never loads. the longest i let it hang there was 2 hours. ive tried multiple times with the same result.
im running from a flash drive on an ASUS Eee PC 1001P-PU17
when I get into the login page, I can only see the background and the login box in the middle of the page just turns whole white and keeps flashing. no response for any clicks. I was force to ctrl+alt+F1 to switch to init 1 to do my work. But I still want to use my graphical desktop either KDE or Gnome is ok. I am using gnome.
I am using Ubuntu 9.10 32bit. I removed the network icon from my panel & I would like it back now. How can I icon back? I use the icon for my wifi networks.
Because Remastersys has a size limit for its backups, I exclude the Pictures folder. Therefore, when I do a restore, there is no pictures folder; when I create one, it gets the generic folder icon, rather than the folder icon that is normally associated with the Pictures folder. I know that through properties I can replace the folder icon with anything, but I have not been able to find where the generic pictures folder icon is stored. If I choose a specific icon, and change the icon theme, the custom icon remains. Further, when I make a bookmark for the new Pictures folder, it gets the generic folder icon, no matter what icon is assigned to the Pictures folder. There must be a way to restore the generic Pictures folder icon, so that it changes with the icon theme.
After installing Ubuntu 11.04, I removed the Home Icon from the launcher by right clicking on the Home Icon and chosing the - Keep In Launcher option. Then it disappeared. Now I am wondering how do I restore it, because I think it was not a good idea and I need it now.
I just upgraded my server from 9.10 to 10.04. I have ISPconfig installed on it and worked like a charm until the upgrade. Now when I point a browser to my site the page just hangs as if it is trying to load it but I never get an error nor does it load the page. I have tried to restart apache using /etc/init.d/apache2 restart in which I receive an fail error:
root@ubuntu:~# /etc/init.d/apache2 restart * Restarting web server apache2 (9Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down
[Code].....
After this I still get the same results when trying to load the page in the browser.
I cannot load anything in the www root or virtual host files.
I have deleted notification area from the top panel and now I need few items from there, like volume mixer. It is a way to restore top panel at the default status in Lucid Lynx?I've tried wit add to panel but i didn't succeed to get what i want.
Ubuntu Lucid not all the icons in the menus on the panel at the top of the screen are there any more.how do I get those back? I really miss my bookmarks icon, and the icons in the system menu. I don't care if the icons are there by default, I just want the choice of whether or not they are displayed.
I've been searching around for a way to do this, but none of the solutions I find seem applicable to Lucid. Is there, like, a Terminal command to change the alignment of desktop icons?
I use 10.04 Lucid on my Dell mini10v netbook, it works fine, but the network status icon is broken. When i connect to my wired network, the icon correctly changes to the 2 "arrows" that show that the wired connection is active. But when i dissconnect the wired network, and i connect to my wireless one (or any wireless network), the icon has the "X" (not connected) mark, even thoug the network IS properly connected (i can access internet, local network, etc).
Something happened with my Ubuntu installation - when it reaches to the "login" "password" screen it gives the message in the upper corner that the power management has not been installed properly. So, when I try to login, it throws me back to the login screen. This happens with every prevous installation available from GRUB menu: "! Install Problem.The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact administrator."
The Recovery mode seems to work perfectly well, however it puts me in a dos prompt screen, from which I do not know how to operate.I believe one possible reason for this to happen is that my Hard Disk where Ubuntu is installed, altogether with the SWAP disc which ubuntu uses, are completely full. I tried to free some space through my installation of Vista, but the program Ext2fsd does not enable me to see the content on my ext3 drives, only shows first level directory structure (the foldrs appear "empty" under Vista.
Could someone help me with a "magical" command line that I can type in recovery mode please...so that I free some space from my /user/videos directory (I dont mind it wiped out completely) and also all "wine" installations, that I can also wipe out. If the reason of Ubuntu not continuing beyond login screen is space, I do not mind anything that can free some space somehow and enable it to start.
I upgraded from Karmic to Lucid recently. Before upgrading, I had customized my desktop on Karmic with Compiz, Emerald and new set of fonts. After upgrade (which appears to have gone smoothly, yay!), my desktop retained the previous appearance settings. I want to try the factory default gnome appearance settings for Lucid and still stuck with restoring fonts.
What I have done till now:
0. Enabled Visual Effects from Appearance menu. 1. Theme -> Changed to Human 2. Window Manager -> Still using Compiz 3. Window Decorator -> Switched from Emerald to GTK 4. Font -> Changed first 3 font types in the Font tab to Sans, size 10, 4th to Sans Bold and 5th to Monochrome. Rendering -> subpixel smoothing (LCD)
What I want:
1. Is this the default setting? Have I missed anything in restoring default settings?
2. I have done too many changes to firefox font rendering over time. How do I restore default 10.04 font settings for Firefox? I would ideally love to have an option in Ubuntu which would help me restore factory settings.
i know that the evolution icon on the panel is part of the indicators stuff, but is there any way to remove the evolution icon without removing the indicators? maybe configuring the indicator stuff to not show evolution? i looked into removing evolution, but it seems to be really embedded.
I have a machine running Ubuntu 10.04 and I accidentally removed the Rhythmbox icon in the notification area by right clicking it and I think I must have selected remove or something.
The problem is I cannot seem to get it back and it is enabled under the Plugins section of Rhythmbox.
I have Ubuntu 11.04, last night I installed GAdmin-Squid. This morning, I woke up and I can't get past the login page of my computer. Whenever I enter my password, it just returns me to the login page. I've tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop, but that didn't fix the issue.
i just installed Ubuntu 9.10 today and got the regular login screen like this:
[URL]
But I was tinkering around while I was there and hit the accessibility button, chose one of the options that had something to do with contrast then the UI changed colors and became Blue and white-ish. I unchecked the contrast option again but the UI didn't change back to its original colors like the image above. Rebooting didn't work either.
the laptop of my friend runs ubuntu through wubi. The system suddenly freezed and she restarted it manually. After doing a check disk and automatically repaired some packages(unfortunately she doesn't remember what exactly, only just inode information appeared), she can't log in as when she types her username and password the answer is authentication failed. We tried to change the password through recovery mode but nothing happened.
1. Do you have something to propose to solve the login problem? 2. If not how can i access and back up her ubuntu documents through windows?
Doesn't seem to work in Ubuntu - it just downloads the file instead of taking me to a login page. It's not a browser problem as I have the latest version of Firefox, which works fine under Windows XP.
I installed KDE as an alternative desktop.(I still have gnome) When I rebooted my system it showed the KDE login screen. How do I restore the default Gnome login screen. I run Lucid.
I am trying Xfce in my Ubuntu Karmic installation. I just logged out and I get the Xubuntu login screen. I prefer the GNOME one, and xubuntu-desktop sets Xfce as default. I tried editing /etc/x11/default-display-manager and it already says /usr/sbin/gdm.
the other day I was playing around with various GDM themes for the login screen without realizing that they're not really supported in the newest version of Ubuntu (10.10). Somehow though, I managed to install one of these themes (not sure how I got it working), and now I want to restore it back to the default login interface. how to go about this without screwing something up.
Ok So i installed edubuntu yesterday, and it was working flawlessly. Now suddenly the "Network Connections" icon in the top panel, to the left of clock and at the side of volume controller is missing. I don't know how to connect to my DSL Broadband internet!I'm using the "sudo pppoeconf" command temporarily to connect to internet. I've BSNL broadband internet connection, I live in India. Please help me how to bring back the networkconnection icon, so that i may connect net again. Like in the above picture, there are "2 oppositely pointing arrows" showing the network connection icon, to the side of volume controller. How to bring it back? It suddenly disappeared on itselfI googled a bit and found that some people told to press alt+f2 and type some command (which i forgot and am not able toremember, sorry!). But that didn't work, although it worked for the person who had the same problem as mine.
I use firefox3.6.x, and i play online video (sockwave flash) often, but while opening the page (often has swf), the whole X restart, and back to login window of gdm. The problem not accured everytime i open the page, but very often. I met this problem both in ubuntu 9.10 and 10.04, and also lubuntu 10.04. So, i fall back to use firefox 3.5.9, and evrything seems fine.
I am trying to connect to a paid for hotspot service. There is no encryption for the wifi.
In Windows you connect to the hotspot, and then any webpage that you attempt to connect to results in you being redirected to their login page.
Once you have put a username and password into their page, the internet works. I know the hostname and IP address of the login page so actually I can go straight there if necessary.
With Debian I have tried Network Manager, WICD and command line iwconfig and dhclient.
With Network Manager or WICD the connection just will not start. It seems to connect to the hotspot then immediately fall off before you can go to the login page.
With iwconfig and dhclient I get mode Managed not-associated. Sometime dhclient seems to return an IP address sometimes not. I'm not sure if it's because it already has an address in it's lease lifetime.
I think that dhclients sends a ping once the connection is up to verify the link? But this will not work until the page is logged into.
Windows "just works" even warning you that you need a login page and then loading it. How I can use this wifi service with Linux?
I removed the LXDE and XFCE packages and now when I try to boot into F14 it goes into a loop between the login page and the fedora icon with blue background showing a X over the icon. In other words, it is looping between the login screen and the previous screen. I think I broke it good. Is there anyway to recover from this?
When I log on using my laptop, it never finishes logging in nor does it throw an error - but it works fine on my desktop. 11.1 x86_64 firefox both. Rebooting the laptop doesn't fix. EDIT: Had the wrong password stored in firefox.
