Ubuntu :: Settings Lost After Each Reboot?

May 16, 2010

I installed Kubuntu on my Toshiba A135 with no problems at all...everything works: sound, wifi, LAN, etc...BUT whenever I reboot/restart the computer my Display and Audio settings revert back to default, and it doesn't happen when I log out, just when I restart/shutdown the computer. I have an Intel 945GM chipset and I have set my external Acer 23" monitor as the default and only monitor with a resolution of 1920x1080@60Hz using KDE's System Settings...And I chose to disable the laptop's internal monitor...but whenever I restart, the display returns to a 1024x800 cloned resolution (the default one)...which by the way looks hideous on a 23" monitor. And also the sound mixer goes back to the default levels.

So, can anyone help me out? I've been using Ubuntu for over 3 years and I've never had any problems like this one. I have just fell in love with Kubuntu, it looks and runs great, but this problem/bug is keeping me from being comfortable with it... I've been reading some things about XRandr and some commands and stuff and nothing have worked until now. I wonder, is it a common bug in Kubuntu or maybe an erroneous setting in the session manager....?

Hardware :: Display Settings Lost On Reboot?

Jul 21, 2010

I'm running PCLinuxOS 2010.07 (KDE) on my Acer laptop with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I have an external Acer monitor that displays at 1920*1080. I have selected my laptops internal screen to be disabled and use the external screen. The PC LinuxOS Control Centre selected the 'Intel later than 810 driver'. All works well whilst I'm using my system but when I turn off and reboot the settings are lost and I have a 1280*800 display on my laptop and the same on my external screen. Resetting the Display using Configure your Desktop allows me to reset the external monitors to my preferences but how can I make theses settings permanent?

Ubuntu Networking :: Wired Network Settings Lost On Reboot

Jul 30, 2010

I have installed Lucid in a new laptop. Things are running OK except for the following problem:

I connect to the network/Internet using Wired ethernet (TCP/IP) with static IP. Everytime I reboot/restart my network configurations are lost and I have to re-configure. I have googled this problem and have seen a few posts/bugs in launchpad etc. for what appears to be the same issue...but unfortunately I am not getting a clear solution to this problem.

Just for clarity, I am using the following commands to re-configure my network everytime:

Also note that I have already tried editing the /etc/network/interfaces and the /etc/resolv.conf files. But it seems that these are not being picked or are being overridden.

Ubuntu Networking :: Txpower Wifi Settings Lost After Reboot

Jul 27, 2011

I turned down my txpower with the command: sudo iwconfig wlan0 txpower 3 Which works to fine turn down my broadcast power from the default value of 15 dBm to 3 dBm. But it is reset every time I restart Ubuntu 11.04 to the default value of 15 dBm. How do I save my modified txpower settings so they don't reset after a restart? It is really annoying having to re-enter the command every time I reboot my computer!

Ubuntu :: Klipper Hot Keys Lost On Reboot

I have a problem with klipper hotkeys. On reboot, they are saved in ~/.kde/share/config/kglobalshortcutrc but don't work anymore. they are visible in "system settings > keyboard and mouse > global shortcuts" in the klipper tab, but just wont work. However, they are not set if I try to access them by klipper menu "right click > configure klipper > shortcuts" It seems that shortcuts aren't even noticed by kde : xev's output from a successful shortcut ( alt+g) (notice the focusout/focusin instead of the keypress):

I've installed recently on my Eee PC 901 Xubuntu 10.04 and it works very well, but every time when I logout and then log in again, the desktop drops to the default icons and GTK themes. Then I've figured it out: on logout and then login the XFCE's settings daemon xfsettingsd is not loading.

Ubuntu :: Some Settings Not Lasting A Reboot ?

Jan 22, 2010

I noticed that every time I reboot some system settings sort of roll-back automatically to some time in the past.

So far I noticed these:
-All the aMule setting. Includes connection ports and Incoming folder, very annoying.

-Firefox search box engines. every reboot the list of engines rolls back to include a lot of engines i don't want and have to remove every time. this is the only thing in Firefox that is affected, bookmarks and add-ons stick.

-Keyboard layouts. Tried clicking "apply system-wide". still rolls-back after reboot.

What could cause this? How can I set these things permanently?

I'm using ubuntu 9.10 32-bit

Fedora Networking :: DNS Lost After Every Reboot?

I have entered my primary and secondary DNS addresses through Network Configuration tool (system-config-network). But whenever I reboot the system it loses the DNS addresses.

I also put both DNS addresses in the ifcfg file, but that didn't work either.Does anyone know a solution to this?$ uname -aLinux fedoralinux 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Wed Feb 11 23:58:12 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Ubuntu Networking :: Lost Network Settings

Mar 25, 2011

My first post. I lost all connections to the internet on my Linux Box Yesterday. I have checked my broadband connection and router. OK because I am using them to sent this from my laptop. I have 2 ethernet cards - no indication of a problem with either so I suspect for reasons unknown I have lost all my network settings. The Desktop User Guide says go to the Network Settings Window. I used to have a widget on the Menu Bar which enabled me to check the settings but for some reason it vanished a month or so ago and I can't find how to get it back.

PS In the meantime I am stuck with this crummy Microsoft box the interferes with everything I try to do.

Ubuntu :: Lost Window Decoration And Other Settings

Sep 1, 2011

I'm using ubuntu classic on 11.04 (that's not the foolish part). I was tidying up my main menu with the Edit Menu application, and deleted all of the hidden items in the Applications submenu 'Other', including things like Compiz, Metacity, Open Folder, Window Manager.I had believed that this would have no effect on the operation of anything; only upon what was listed in the menu, but the effects seem to have been quite severe and wide-ranging.Now, at reboot, there is no background image, cursor, or windows decorator (I have to get a terminal window open and run compiz --replace), and I cannot open locations from the places Menu (I get an error telling me that no application is registered as handling this file). There are probably other consequences I have yet to discover.

The desktop.configuration files for the 'Other' menu items are still present in Usr/Share/Applications directory.Is there a way that I can restore things to the way they worked before I deleted these Menu items? It would be an enormous help in my predicament.

Ubuntu :: Keyboard Settings Won't Stay After Reboot?

Mar 19, 2010

I'm using Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.04 in Acer Aspire One together with Windows XP (both on different partitions). The trouble since installing Ubuntu has been that my keyboard has scandinavic layout which includes "" and "" keys. When I assign the layout in Ubuntu's as "FI" instead of "USA" everything is fine. After reboot for some reason the changes made won't stay and I have to change the keyboard layout manually. If I remove "USA" from the list after reboot it'll appear to the list again!

I've tried to create /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with the keyboard configuration code, but it has no effect for the situation. I've tried also command:

Code:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup This has no effect also.

I'm starting to be frustrated for the situation. I really enjoy using Ubuntu instead of XP but this just doesn't make sense that the keyboard layout won't stay on.

Ubuntu :: Cube Settings Disappear After Reboot?

Oct 19, 2010

I am a newbie and loving Ubuntu Lucid Lynx. I have my cube working great with all the associated effects yet after about 20 minutes or so, the cube options are all unchecked and I no longer have the cube. What could be causing this? Initially I thought it was only after reboot but I left the house today for 20 minutes and when I came back I had no box and sure enough the cube options were unchecked.

Ubuntu :: Screen Settings Not Saved After Reboot?

Feb 11, 2011

I know this has been covered before but I can't find a resolution to the issue. Kubuntu simply refuses to save the screen settings, and each time I reboot it returns to 1440 x 900. The correct resolution should be 1920 x 1080.

KRandr shows 1440x900 (auto) in its drop down Size field. I've set krandr to load on startup so that I can set the correct resolution but of course this means I have to set the panel size as well. I've only recently installed KUbuntu and it's great except for this issue. Surely there must be a simple fix? I'm not a noobie and have about 4 years experience on Ubuntu / openSuse etc.

Ubuntu Networking :: Madwifi Driver Lost After Reboot And Suspend?

Aug 7, 2010

I have a bit of a silly question, as I should know better, but I have a Toshiba A200 laptop that wasn't working well with the default ath5k driver so I switched to madwifi. It works great, but after the laptop goes into suspend or reboots, the driver doesn't get loaded and wireless isn't available.

I've been working around this by going to proprietary drivers, which shows the madwifi driver. When I say activate, it comes back with a failed message but works.

I'd like to save myself from going through this several times a day, but I'm not 100% sure what to do. Do I add madwifi to modprobe or something like that?

CentOS 5 :: IP Configuration Lost After Reboot / Get That Back?

Sep 16, 2009

Google brought me no love on this one, tried searching here with little luck as well. So I'm hoping somebody vastly more experienced than I can shed some light on my plight.

The situation:
I have a CentOS 5.3 x64 server running the latest cPanel which works fantastic. I issued a graceful reboot and the server came back up (according to the DC) just fine to a login prompt. Apparently the system lost all of its IP address configuration. Primary IP, secondary IP's gateway, you name it and it was gone. Now my secondary IP's were showing in cPanel after I had the DC re-enter my main IP address/gateway. But listed as not active due to the fact that they were not anywhere to be attached to the interface. i.e. eth0:1 eth0:2 etc and so on.

I have no idea where to begin looking for this problem and am afraid to reboot it again (at least until I get my lantronix spider up there). I've never experienced this with any of my other CentOS/cPanel servers either. All similar configurations CentOS 5.3 x64, latest cPanel as well. My hardware is all Supermicro gear as well and has been solid in the past.

Maybe I'm just missing something, granted I've only been managing Linux based servers for about two years now. This is actually the first real problem I've ran into on any Linux distro, they are normally pretty solid. So I assume it's a configuration error on my part somewhere.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Keeps Losing Settings Every Reboot?

Jan 4, 2010

My system (Ubuntu 9.10 Gnome Desktop) keeps 'forgetting' my sound settings. every day I have to go into sound preferences and select a different hardware device setting and then change it back to the right one in order for it to work. For instance my sound goes out of my onboard intel based sound via optical to my amp and so the hardware setting for this is IEC598 output + analog stereo input But everytime I boot their is no sound (and hence no light coming through the optical cable) so then I'll change it to Analog surround and the light comes out so then I can change it back to the 1st setting and it works again. Hope that makes sense, I have had this problem and also my video settings have been 'forgotten' and samba also won't work ever since about 4 days ago when the system updated, everything was working fine before that (i have run update manager since and everything is up to date)

Ubuntu Networking :: Loosing Static IP Settings After Reboot?

Dec 1, 2010

I'm Using the latest Kubuntu 10.10 with the default network manager -- which I think it's called Knetwork manager.

I have set up a static IP by adding a new connection using this manager and then clicking it so that it is used to connect. But as soon as there is a computer reboot the connection falls back to the original autoeth0 which has dynamic IP on and which I cannot change or delete.

Ubuntu :: Won't Save Monitor Settings Upon Reboot / Sort It?

May 4, 2011

So I have a fresh updated install of 10.10 on dell dimension 4550

The pc connects to my monitor through a dlink KVM switch so I can switch back and forth between computers.

When I reboot my monitor settings disapear and everything is real real large.

If i disconnect from the KVM and connect Ubuntu directly to the monitor and detect monitor it will allow me to adjust settings so everything looks normal. Until I reboot and I am back to the same huge icons again. If I try to go back and adjust monitor settings there are only 2 settings options because it does not see my monitor through the kvm switch again.
