I turned on my computer and the Ubuntu desktop is flipped upside down and inside out. I can still SSH in and ran a backup which is good but now I need to fix this.
Where should I start? I dont know which logs to start checking or what to do.
I have to work inside two environment. One Windows (local) and one Linux (remote).I've installed the screen linux utility in both.I'm able to open a screen on my windows, then in one tab, I opened a ssh connection to the linux remote and I start another screen.Samplelinux -- |0 linux remote 0| 1 linux remote 1 windows-- |0 linux | 9 windows I can switch between "linux remote 0" and "linux remote 1" using Atl+.This is configured in .screenrc (bindkey "^[0" select 0)How could I switch to "9 windows"?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is my first posting as a Linux Newbie. I have installed Ubuntu 10.04 inside of a MS Virtual PC on my Vista machine. Everything seems to work beautifully and is stable. However, I would like to use a resolution higher than the current maximum of 800x600. I've poked around on the web and have tried various tips. I tried using the xrandr options which added a higher resolution mode, but when I would try to set the output to that resolution, I would get an error message to the effect that I could not exceed the current maximum of 800x600.
I tried to cobble parameter values together and create an xorg.conf file, but every iteration seems to produce a bunch of colorful vertical bars within my Virtual PC window, and I would have to blow away that virtual PC setup and rebuild it (along with reinstalling Ubuntu). As I said, 800x600 is not a show stopper, but I would like to take advantage of the real estate I have with my display. These "fifty-five year old" eyes could benefit from the larger size. FYI, I did take a stab at installing Virtual Box, but got the infamous "blue screen", so I would rather stick with what appears to be a stable virtual PC base.
I sshed to a server a week ago, then ran *screen* and created a few windows in my screen session. I then ran a few programs on those screens. All the programs were running in the background (I run them with &). I did not close or detach from the screen sessions. So I was still connected to those screen sessions from my client machine.
Then, this morning I find my client machine rebooted. When I do screen -ls I find there are no screens available to reattach to. But that is not the worst part. The strange thing is that all my processes (which were running on the server) have disappeared as well, even though they were running in the background. I thought 1) using screen I will be able to re-attach to old screens when my client restarts, 2) If I have sshed to a server and have run programs in the background, restarting the client should not stop those programs (even if I had not used screen).
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a Toshiba Satellite A215 with a USB Toshiba webcam (PA3554U-1CAM). The camera works but the image is upside down in both skype and cheese. I have been looking through some other threads and none of their solutions work. All of my librarys are up to date as far as i know.

When the desktop effects are turned on by default, my desktop is rendered upside down, although the task bar stays at the bottom, even though the favorites bar got cropped off by the panel. Here, I'll demonstrate:Desktop is now rendered properly without desktop effects enabled, as a workaround. Removing .kde or renaming .kde to .kdebackup will not fix the problem. Same as for .config.

I'm install a genius web cam eye 312 in fedora 11. The image is upside down in all the programs. In amsn there is no colors, and image upside down. In skype, chesse full colors very nice, but image upside down.

So I think there is a problem with the driver it self.
I have an .avi file that is a clip from a security camera recording of an incident. I am trying to edit the video with an editor and I have an issue in just playing the video. When playing the video it opens and plays just fine but reversed and upside down. I don't see any settings in any of the players I have tried (VLC, etc.) to correct this. It plays fine from the Windows computer at work. I believe there may be some special codecs related to this particular security camera software. Does anyone know how I might deal with this to correct it?

I have tried installing modified/updated libv4l from [URL] and manually extracting the 32-bit maverick libv4l into /usr/lib32, with no luck. Skype keeps showing the picture upside down. Also the V4l Control Panel seems not to affect the picture in Skype. The camera uses the uvcvideo driver.
I just bought an Asus K52J a couple of days. I of course got down right away to installing Ubuntu 10.10. Everything works fine except for a couple of problems with Skype.
In the past I already had the problem with Skype video not working while Cairo dock was running. I found a solution which consisted in changing the command line and making a custom launcher for Skype alone on my desktop. The command line was
export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && skype Now, on this new laptop I have a new problem.....the webcam image is upside down! For this too I found a custom command line for skype to run properly.
export LIBV4LCONTROL_FLAGS=3 && LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype My problem is combining the two commands in one line so that Skype will run properly and this would thus solve my problem. Seeing that I am running Cairo dock as well i need to solve the incompatibility issue and also the inverted video in Skype.
I tried just copying and pasting them but it only solves the incompatibility with Cairo dock, the image in the meantime, remains upside down!

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am not able to access Amazon's Look Inside - the facility to inspect a few pages of books. (I have never been able to do this.) I have tried both at work (via a direct connection to a high-speed backbone) and at home (via Sky ISP). I can see the cover of the book but nothing beyond that - it says the page has expired or is invalid. But using Firefox on WinXP, I can access Look Inside happily both at home and at work.
Does anyone else have this problem with Ubuntu? Amazon's technical people just sent me a load of flannel blaming my ISP, my software, etc. They say no one else has raised this.
If somebody could try it and let me know, I'd be grateful for the results. Am I missing a plug-in?

I've just installed ubuntu 10.04 server on an old box to use as a home server for network storage. I've managed to get wireless working, and now have started to tinker with the base system (it's more of an experimental machine than a critical backup server!). I've installed xorg-core and JWM, and have set it up to function as a basic GUI in case my main box goes down and I need access to these forums. I can start JWM by using
Code: startx, but I need to know how to end the X server from inside the gui, so that I can create a kind of 'exit' button. I know I can end the session by going back to tty1 with ctrl-alt-f1 and using ctrl-c, but is there a way of doing this from inside of the gui? Is it even possible?
I have my HDD in 3 partitions. 1 has Ubuntu 10.10, the 2nd has XP Pro, and the 3rd is a generic FAT 32 for all my music, photos, docs, etc. I was wondering if it was possible to run my XP Pro partition from within my Ubuntu partition so I am not constantly booting to and from XP to perform JUST a quick simple task. I installed Virtual Box OSE from the software center but it looks like it only runs .ISO images.
View 9 Replies View RelatedDuring two instances now I have had to create a .js file in a folder. In one instance, (POLIPO) I can create the file, I just cannot save it. I have momentarily forgotten the error message stating why. In the second instance, I have to create a user.js file inside my Firefox folder to allow cut/copy/paste functionality in order to fully utilize an internet forum. I have a Windows desktop at home and used URL...to "fix" Firefox. My laptop, however, needs to have the same capabilities and is running Ubuntu 9.04, fully updated, and Firefox 3.0.17, fully updated.
In short, I would like to know how to have complete control over functions such as "create file" EVERY time I want to. Is this a permission issue? I have only one user on the Ubuntu box. Also, how can I modify Firefox to allow for cut/copy/paste in the Mozilla Rich Text Editor?I am new to using Linux, so a minor spoonfeeding may be required.

Since I trialled a commercial company's map product under Wine somewhere in my system is still their name. Any gpx file I choose to download and the company's name appears in properties. Ggx files are also associated with Wine whilst an untainted PC in the house just has "Browse" as an "open with" option.
First things first, how do I find and delete this commercial company's name totally from any part of my system? How do I find their name in one or more of my files?

How do I use "chmod" command so that it allows me to write a file inside a certain directory ? This directory has permissions in the formdrwxr-xr-xOnce I try to write a file there, it says "Permission denied" ! Don't advise to use "sudo", since the file is created by some executable program compiled from a source code. If I was creating the file myself, I wouldn't have gone to this forum.
