General :: Unable To Adjust The Brightness Of The Netbook Screen?
Apr 19, 2010Long, sad story made short. I have a Samsung Netbook running Windows XP Home, SP3. I set it up to dual boot with Ubuntu, just so I could play around with Ubuntu. Well, Ubuntu started giving me trouble: my internet connection went south, I was unable to adjust the brightness of the Netbook screen, etc., and when I looked for troubleshooting help on the internet, it was all Greek to me as it involved working with Terminal.
I did a search for removing a partition in Windows XP and found "How to use Disk Management to configure basic disks in Windows XP" on the Microsoft and followed the instructions there.

I doesn't look nice for me. The logo of Kubuntu is too big and the colors are not the true colors of the Kubuntu Boot up screen.

Ubuntu :: Adjust Screen Resolution On Samsung 40" LCD
Jul 19, 2010I have an HTPC mini computer, in which I've just installed Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx, and I tried all screen resolutions I could possibly use through the settings. And the top, bottom, left & right hand sides are out of the resolution. So for example the top and bottom taskbars are out of the screen. I'll be posting a photo later on today to show you people exactly what I mean. So that I can have Ubuntu's screen would fit all inside my LCD screen ? The HTPC runs an nVidia graphics card.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Adjust Screen Alignment For Virtual Terminals?
Oct 4, 2010When I installed 10.04 in April, I started having all sorts of problems with my Virtual Terminals (CTRL-ALT-F*). First they were inaccessible completely, then they were there, but not visible, i.e. I could use them to login and run commands, but there was no screen output, then they were gone again, and the fight just went on and on. I just recently got this functionality back after months just messing around, testing different peoples solutions, and really just not being afraid to break the whole thing. Ultimately, it boiled down to nVidea graphics driver problems.
However, now I notice that outside of gdm, the screen is not aligned properly. It seems to be about 2 characters to the left and several lines lower than it should be on VT1-VT6, while gnome is aligned perfectly. I can use my screens auto-adjust to fix the problem, but when I switch to another terminal, the problem comes back. It's not really a huge deal, but after all this trouble, I really just want them to work the way they are supposed to work. Does anyone know of a way to set the screen alignment via software, or am I just stuck dealing with it?
Fedora :: Adjust Screen Brightness
Mar 13, 2011Running F14 on Dell Studio 14 with LCD screen and US keyboard selected. After initial power on the keyboard selection of "Windows Key" + F4 will dim the screen and the "Windows Key" + F5 will brighten the screen. When being used, either combination will also show a meter on the screen to display the adjustment of the brightness. When the lid is closed the computer is set to suspend by default. After the computer is brought back from suspend the keyboard short cuts no longer control the brightness and the meter does not appear on the screen. I have not found any other way to control the brightness and I have to restart to get the keyboard short cuts to work again.

View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Move The Window Control Buttons When The Window Is In Full Screen Mode?
May 3, 2011How do I move the Window control buttons when the window is in full screen mode? I.e.: I know how to go into gconf-editor:
Code:
gconf-editor --> apps --> metacity --> general --> button layout = ":minimize,maximize,close"
(I've intentionally disabled the menu...)
What I want is my window controls to be on the right side of the window when the window is in full screen mode.
Also I've had an issue with the Unity dockbar glitching out. I can still click on the buttons (i.e. the logout button) but it displays like a nintendo game inserted crooked. Is there a way to 'restart' unity without log out/ log in?
Any one else experienced any glitches with unity auto hiding/showing?

Apr 26, 2011The last update for 10.04 has really screwed my desktop. Several of the icons are off the bottom of the screen. All icons are too large. Can't adjust the screen resolution. Panel at the bottom when placed in autohide is so sensitive that it is almost impossible to use. Jumps up and down like a flea on a hot stove. I have reduced the sensitivity of the mouse to the minimum with no effect. There is no excuse for so many troublesome updates. The problem with using an external monitor with a laptop has never been resolved by Ubuntu.

Nov 24, 2015When I first install debian I couldn't change the screen brightness at all not manually nor with function keys, but I tried some of the solutions I found on the internet and now I can change the brightness manually (from the power management or the battery icon) but when I use the function keys it takes them like 2 to 3 minutes to respond and cause the system to hang (even mouse curser not responding) and then I'm forced to manually reboot the system, here is some information :
Code: Select all$ ls /sys/class/backlight/
acpi_video0 intel_backlight
Code: Select all$cat /etc/default/grub
# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update

OpenSUSE Install :: How To Adjust The Screen Resolution
Jul 17, 2010Suffering from the expected error in detecting my video properly when installed 11.3.Have intel 915G onboard video. Up until 11.1 Opensuse struggled with loading this correctly. in 11.1 & 11.2 all was well. A couple of minor tweaks in sax2 and it worked perfectly. Now hat sax2 has gone I'm not sure how to make these minor tweaks.
My problem is I have been forced to a screen resolution of 1024X768 VGA Following the readme file adding nomodeset at boot fixes the problem but of course forces me back to an old video driver with pretty poor performance. Is there any way I can change the screen resolution and set the correct monitor - any GUI replacement for sax2? Krandrtray will only let me set a max res of 1024x768. I need to set res to 1280x1024

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Window Sizing In Lucid Netbook Edition ?
Jun 28, 2010I have tried the Netbook Edition as a live CD (SD card actually) and as a VMWare virtual machine - trying to decide if I want to use it rather than the "real" distro on my netbook. The issue which is bugging me at the moment is that all windows seem to open full screen. Granted this is generally appropriate with a small display. However, I do not need a full screen terminal window.
So, I right click on the titlebar and select Unmaximize (took me a while to figure out that one as there are no window close, min, max buttons displayed) and I set the window to the size I want it. I then close the terminal. When I launch terminal again it is full screen.
Is there a way to tell gnome to remember the last window size for an app? My 10.04 desktop seems to do this by default.

View 6 Replies View RelatedServer :: How To Adjust EMacs Key Binding To Accommodate Screen
Jan 28, 2010I've recently started using the "screen" multiplexer and it is really handy for some cluster work I've been doing. But if I am in emacs and I press C-A to go to the beginning of the line and the C-N to go to the next line, I get shunted to the next "screen" window. I imagine there are other conflicts as well. I did some googling, but all the suggestions showed how to adjust emacs key-binding to accommodate screen. But I don't want to adjust emacs key-bindings because that is the whole reason I like emacs. I think custom "screen" key-bindings go in .screenrc. Does any emacs fans out there who have run into this problem have any .screenrc code they would be willing to share with me that worked well for them?

Oct 8, 2010I installed UNR on an old laptop that'll be used around the living room by both me and the kids, so I set up multiple accounts and made myself and Admin. In Users and Groups, my account IS set to require password to login, and kids' account isn't. However, the machine is not going to the login window on boot -- it just goes straight to my account. Is there a way to fix this or will UNR always boot to the account created upon installation (mine) without a login prompt?
2nd issue: I installed Google Chrome from the .deb on my account and it showed up right away in the Internet tab of the home screen, but it doesn't show up on the home screen when I switch it over to the kids' account. Do I need to reinstall from each account or is there a simple way to make it available to them?

This happens frequently in Eveolution where the bottom of the window is 'missing' so I cannot click ok when changing setting ect. This is extremely annoying and it is the only reason why I am still running Windows on my netbook.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 10.04 - Get The Splash Screen To Appear On Netbook
Sep 5, 2010SO, after about a week of research and trying to get the splash screen to appear on my netbook...I've sort of got it...but not. Here's the low down.
1- Had no boot splash at first. Now I do in low rez.
2- Had shutdown splash in Hi rez...now in low rez.
3- Boot splash lasts about a second at best...prior to that... black screen after I select ubuntu from the boot menu.
I have tried editing grub, updating afterwards, startup manager, online text help...nothing seems to be working to get the end result of Nice looking Plymouth splash screens (the nice purplish UBUNTU screens)
My netbook is an ASUS 1005PE with 2 gigs ram. Ubuntu is the only O/S (Boot menu shows the back up of the win7 install on my smart card). I am running the 64bit version. I also have Ubuntu on my HP HDX18 dual booting with windows7. No issues there. Hence my confusion.
Now...I'm not the most Linux sauvy to say...the last time I looked at Linux was Redhat back in '95 or '96. I'm a dos guy... so I'm not opposed to learning...just need to understand it better thats all. Anyways...if anyone can shed some light on this, that would be awesome. Aside form this hickup, everything seems to run just fine.
