I 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?
I 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.
how 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)"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 know it can be done, I just need to know what the hardware is called. There is a community center in the area and I might have a chance to help out. Due to not enough funding the center was only able to get One PC and five monitors. What I hope to be able to do ( and know its possible ) is get the hardware to make each monitor is own terminal with keyboard and mouse.
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 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.
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
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?
I have a problem with the logrotate of auth.log, it is not working. I tried using 'kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid`'. This restarts sshd but does not create a new auth.log. Also tried "/etc/etc/init.d/ssh restart" and "/etc/init.d/ssh reload"
Everything worked fine with Jaunty 9.04, but I haven't had any luck getting the "cube" to rotate using the mouse wheel since I upgraded to Karmic 9.10. The other ways to rotate the cube still work with karmic. Note that I upgraded from jaunty to karmic...not a clean install. Viewport switcher and rotate cube are both enabled.
I used OpenSUSE today and in one of the options for Rotate Cube (in compiz) was something that let me adjust to what angle I could allow the cube to go up and down. If I set it to 360 degrees, I was able to rotate the cube in any which direction I pleased. Can I do this on Ubuntu?
I just switched from Jaunty to Karmic, and in the process of setting up desktop effects, I'm having a hard time with configuring the rotate cube compiz effect. Before, I was able to scroll on the desktop (ie, not over a window/application) to spin the cube to the next face. Now, it seems that I either have to use keyboard shortcuts or lose the ability to scroll in applications.
I've tried enabling the mouse scrolling to button 4/button 5 a la this post, but this doesn't fix the problem. This is one of the few desktop effects that really made a difference in terms of convenience, so I'd really like to be able to fix this setting.
Here's a strange compiz effect - odd visual echo when you rotate the cube. I kept my /home partition from the Lucid beta testing and compiz seems to have problems with it - looks like I will have to do a complete format and reinstall to solve this. I already purged and reinstalled compiz and anything I could find associated with it. Anyone else suffering from a buggy compiz? The strange thing is - this only occurs 1 out of 10 boots???
Installed Natty a few days ago and everything was working fine. I have a dual head setup with the left monitor rotated Clockwise 90 degrees (AKA rotate left). When I setup the the displays properly, instead of just cloning, I noticed a problem, making Unity unusable. When I apply the rotation either in the xorg.conf fle or using xrandr, the display shows a corrupt looking image. When I turn compiz off and use metacity instead it works perfectly fine.

My AWSTATS is not updating correctly. Upon closer look I noticed that the access_log file is already >300MB. logrotate was not running. Now I have enabled log rotate. However, it's not touching this existing access_log file. Is there a way for me to manually split and rotate this file into 3 100MB files, access_log.1 access_log.2 and access_log.3? I tried running logrotate (logrotate /home/user/httpd/access_log) from console and it's throwing Segmentation fault.
m using Squid 3 for web cache and i want to use multiple outgoing ip addresses. Not 1 ip for 1 client, i want to rotate several outgoing ip addresses to the same client.
Client A --> outgoing IP A next conection Client A --> outgoing IP B and so on
NOTE: compizconfig manager is not suitable for ubuntu 11.04 with unity,works fine with 9.10 and 10.10.
Ubuntu enables "Desktop Wall" by default. By holding Ctrl-Alt keys and pressing the left-arrow or right-arrow key each time, it slides through desktop workspaces horizontally for you to choose one to work on. Alternatively, you can change this to a "rotate cube" effect. Go To System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager.
Select "Desktop" from the left panel. Tick "Rotate Cube". Select "Enable Desktop Cube" as this plugin is required by "Rotate Cube". Select "Disable Desktop Wall".
Immediately you can rotate your desktop workspaces in this way holding down Ctrl-Alt keys, EITHER press the left-arrow or right-arrow key OR left-click the mouse and drag it to left or right.
if there is no compiz manager in your system,download it.. type :sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager ..
So, I have my trusty ol' Aspire One ZG5 running with Natty. I like changing the screen orientation (sideways) to read comic books and books. I've learned how by this page: URL...So, I have no trouble changing my screen orientation with a quick key-combo, but I still need help,I'm trying to figure out how to change the "orientation" of the arrow keys along with the screen. So when i have the screen oriented to the left, the left key works as the up, the up down as the right, etc.
I am on a CentOS 64 bit and used webmin to rotate MySQL slow query log. Now the thing is although logs are being rotated daily but the new log files being created are empty which means MySQL is unable to write them due to some reason. I have checked using "ls -l" that both permission and owner of files is same but still MySQL is not writing logs. What could be the reason?
whenever the log file (test.log) exceeds 100M a new file will be created with the file name as test.'date'.'gz'(new file is created with a current date and in a compressed format of gz) and also with permission mentioned above). I really dont know what is the role of rotate( will this be carried on only for next 4times i mean upto 400MB; (4times*file reaches 100MB)? and also what could be the purpose of postrotate?
how can I rotate logfiles multiple times a day? I notice that the configuration for the logrotate-command is hourly, daily, weekly,.I notice that I can create a cron job where I specify the different times the log rotation need to be done:15 0,8,12,17 * * *But how do I combine these two ?
I was just wondering about something. I have linked the middle click to initiate the cube rotation and it works perfectly except when I have the cursor on firefox. Then it just acts like I middleclicked in firefox itself. Personally I like this behaviour but was wondering why it is JUST firefox that has it. Would be great if I could achieve the same in Blender
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....
