Ubuntu :: What Can Affect Plymouth Resolution
Oct 19, 2010
I have two Ubuntu installations: a full one and a light/custom. The full one has every default package installed using the Live CD and some extra packages I've been adding as I need them, the custom one is created using debootstrap and then I add some packages: xserver, fluxbox, alsa... among others.
But I have one problem: plymouth shows a low-res splash screen for the custom installation, while it works great with the full one. Both running on the same motherboard and with the same monitor. Besides, I need to set the FRAMEBUFFER=y option in the custom installation to make plymouth show the splash screen at boot.
I've tried setting GRUB_GFXMODE, GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD and GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX for GRUB without any change, I'd like to know what other programs/drivers/configurations may affect Plymouth resolution so that I could find what is preventing my custom installation from showing a nice plymouth splash screen.

I tried to switch my Plymouth install from the default Kubuntu splash to Solar. Now, when I boot up, it shows a low-resolution default Ubuntu splash, with a monospaced-text logo. On shutdown, Solar displays, but at a very low resolution. How do I fix this?

I've got a HD screen: 1920x1080p. Grub (1.98 ) has the resolution: 800x600 and Plymouth also. It is irritating me that plymouth shows a very ugly purple splash screen in a very low resolution (800x600). How can I fix that? I've got an ATI Radeon HD 4670, and use the drivers from ATI...

I'm trying to set up a firewall using ufw. I had planned on denying all network traffic and allowing as it became a problem. I expected to need port 80 8(http) 88(https) and 1863(MSN).
I tried:
Code:
Me@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ufw enable
Firewall is active and enabled on system start up
Me@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ufw default deny
Default incoming policy changed to 'deny'
(be sure to update your rules accordingly)
Me@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ufw status
Status: active
If I have understood I should not be able to connect to the Internet now but I still can (I am posting this with these settings). I have tried rebooting and this did not help although the status was persistent. I am currently using version 9.10 of Ubuntu upgraded from 9.04 (itself from 8.10 which was a clean install). I am using a wireless network called wmaster0 with driver rt61pci if that helps. How to configure firewall?

I have grub installed which boots both my ubuntu and windows which are in seperate partition. I'm about to format my windows, will it affect anything? Like though my ubuntu will not be formated nor the bootloder but shouldn't the windows bootloader overwrite somethign and make it default? Thus making ubuntu impossible to boot?

I did a d-u today, all went well. Then tried to install dkms, and apt came back with a list of programs it says were automatically installed by no longer required, including several libqt4 packages. I'd like to know what programs would be affected by removing each one.

Whilst sound works for MBP5,1 / 5,2 under Karmic, it could definitely be better - mainly the master volume does not affect the headphone output, and the speakers don't automute when headphones are plugged in. However, I've finally got around to writing a patch for alsa which fixes this - the patch is against the latest version of alsa-drivers (1.0.22.1). If you want to test it (since so far I've only tested it on my MBP5,1 - any feedback from MacBook 5,1 / MB(P) 5,2 owners would be great too) follow these instructions: First make sure you don't have any versions of linux-backports-modules-alsa installed:

I'm moving over to Linux when the new SSD arrives. SSD gives increased performance, so I thought that I could encrypt everything.
But then I came to think about TRIM, and garbage collection on the drive. Will a LUKS encrypted drive affect the garbage collection system? (TRIM).

I added a directory to the $PATH variable in /etc/profile. This works for my user account but not for root. It's easy to add it to my /root/.bashrc but I would like to understand whats's wrong. It's a widely unmodified Debian 6 so I think my changes should do the trick.
Here is what my /etc/profile looks like:
# /etc/profile: system-wide .profile file for the Bourne shell (sh(1))
# and Bourne compatible shells (bash(1), ksh(1), ash(1), ...).
if [ "`id -u`" -eq 0 ]; then
[code]....
Edit: The path I added is the distcc-stuff. Here is what echo $PATH tells me:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/lib/distcc/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
# echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

I tried a little C programming, and got a bunch of segmentation fault the first few tries. But from what I understand, the whole purpose of segmentation faults is the protect other programs from the damaging effects of my program. Yet, if I trigger a segfault enough times, weird things happen to my other running programs. I usually run a console inside Kate, and after 10 or so segfaults, Kate sometimes freezes or randomly highlights text, etc. just random behavior. Also, my desktop will occasionally hang and things will start failing, like copying files and such. I have to log out to restore everything to normal, but logging out is difficult since the logout prompt freezes. I have never experienced such behavior before I began programming, my system has been relatively stable. I run my program from inside Kate's console, so I was wondering if all KDE applications share memory or something, because this has happened once or twice, and only when I trigger a segfault many times.

I have a dual boot system on a 500GB HDD. Here is a printscreen of the partition table for the disk. It's a fairly standard set-up but the root partition is almost full (I know it's fairly unheard of but I have a lot of software provided by uni that takes up a lot of space). I would like to shrink my /home partition and increase the root one. I've downloaded gparted and got it onto a live CD. The only thing I really want to know before I go ahead is how will the editing of the partitions affect booting.
From what I can tell from reading is that the MBR has only got listed the place on the HDD where the bootable partitions start. These starting placed will not be affected by the alteration, so will the system quite happily boot in the same manner? One booted I'm assuming as the /home partition will have moved I'll need to alter fstab to mount /home again. Will having /home missing caused any adverse affects on the first boot into linux?

A while back I installed Dreamlinux 3.5 Gnome edition using ext2. When I attempted to use the email address books I imported from the Dreamlinux3.5 XFCE edition, which had been ext3, I discovered that none of the email addresses could be mailed to. I had to manually type in the addresses.
When I reinstalled Dreamlinux 3.5 Gnome using ext3, the same backup files that did not work in ext2 now work just fine. The question is, was this a "broken data" problem caused by the switch to ext2 file system or something else? Has anyone else experienced this?
The mail program is Thunderbird.

Barebones installation. Manually start x with 'startx'. For some weird reason, the resolution randomly sets to either 1024x768 or 800x600. How do I permanently set a resolution?

I'm running 10.10. I have a Nvidia GTX 460. My actual resolution is only 1024x768. I can't get the native resolution (1280x1024). Nvidia-settings does not show this resolution. Google hasn't helped at all so far, and I have installed the Nvidia Driver.

I searched the archives and didn't find anything on this, and was just wondering if there is a problem if you load Ubuntu 9.1 and have a display that's higher than 1024x768. I'd prefer a machine with a higher res, but I've heard that Ubuntu will only go as high as 1024x768.I'm guessing, however, that by 9.1, it should recog the higher res while loading and it won't be a problem, but thought I'd check before shelling out on a machine with a nicer display.

I'm using Xubuntu 10.10, with 2.6.35-24-generic kernel. I'm 64-bit. If it helps at all, I'm using xorg-edgers, but that doesn't seem to mean anything here.My issue is that Plymouth is doing absolutely nothing on boot. I know this from using bootchart and seeing that Plymouth launches itself three times, but not seeing anything every boot. The only splash I do see is after I log in, the mouse thing, but that's XFCE.
So, how can I either remove Plymouth entirely, get it working, or find a better splash program? The reason why I ask how to get rid of Plymouth is because it may be entangled in some things that apt-get purge wouldn't fix.
