Ubuntu :: Possible To Change Login Prompt?

Dec 19, 2010

I managed to change the background by copying over a new image file to some directory. However, there is still the big boring login window. Is there any way to change that? I'd like something darker, and smaller. I copied over the image file to /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png My image file was actually a jpeg file, but copying it over to /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png posed no problems.

Ubuntu :: Screen Gets Garbled At Login Prompt?

Feb 26, 2010

I had received ununtu HH CD, which I loaded few times in few machine without problem (CD is ok). But in a perticular machine ubuntu HH, makes the screen garbled during installation and after installation at login prompt, but screen is just OK before the login prompt. This is happening in one machine and when i tried to load ubuntu 9 and fedora core in this machine, all goes fine (installation and use) means machine is reasonably ok. As I load edubuntu on HH, hence this ubuntu loading is important for me.

Fedora :: Inhibit The Clear Screen Before Login Prompt ?

Aug 10, 2010

The mingetty --noclear parameter is failing with my current Fedora 13 installation. In the past this parameter would inhibit the clearing of the screen before prompting for the login name on the console. At present even with the parameter it clears the screen.

My /etc/inittab (which always worked past versions) contains:

Code:

Can someone tell me if I might be doing something wrong, or was this parameter dropped in the current version? Does anyone know of a workaround?

I understand the security purpose of the clear screen. But the particular computer is in a secured location. I prefer to look at the content of the previous screen for debugging and other chores.

Ubuntu :: Can't Change Screen Resolution / Do That?

Aug 10, 2010

I'm very new to Ubuntu and have 9.04 running on a Sony Vaio, don't know what graphics card I have. My screen resolution doesn't have an option higher than 800x600, so everything looks super zoomed in. Other threads tell me to edit xorg.conf, which I did (probably incorrectly). The result was the computer had mega problems when I restarted it, and when it finally got back to the desktop it didn't give me any other options for screen resolution. Also it says I'm in low graphics mode.

Ubuntu :: Can't Change Screen Resolution Itself

Feb 14, 2011

I recently upgraded my desktop pc from 10.04 to 10.10 and ran into a tad of trouble. After I attempted to login from the GDM, something caused the system to crash and return to the GDM. So, I got my laptop out, did some googling, and decided to delete ~/.config/monitors.xml to try and reset the resolution. That got me to the Desktop, at which point I was greeted by more display issues.

The point at which the computer normally goes idle seems to crash and return it to the GDM as well. Needless to say, I disabled the idling/password prompt setting to prevent crashes every five minutes. Anyway, the prevailing problem is that I can't change the resolution itself -- as that seems to cause the same issue.

Ubuntu :: Can't Change Screen Resolution

Mar 13, 2011

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on an old Dell computer I have. Everything seems to work fine, but I can't seem to change the screen resolution. In the monitor Preferences it says Monitor:Unknown. It's stuck on 1600x1200 and I'd like it to be closer to 1024x768

I've tried changing the xorg.conf file to no avail. I've been browsing for 3 days now looking for a solution.

[URL] These are my specs if it helps any, ignore the windows installation info because I have it installed alongside ubuntu.

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Will Not Change / What To Do?

Apr 1, 2011

I cannot get my screen resolution to change from 1600x1200. This is a new install of Ubuntu 10.10 and the desired option ( 1024x768 ) is listed under System/Preferences/Monitors. Changing the resolution and clicking Apply results in a screen refresh, but the resolution remains at 1600x1200.

I have gone through just about every tutorial and thread I can find, but nothing works. Here is some relevant information I have gathered code...

Ubuntu :: Login Screen Pops Up But The Resolution Is Messed Up

May 4, 2011

After a lot of headache and time I was finally able to get Ubuntu 11.04 64bit installed along side my Windows 7 64bit installation. The whole process was hindered by the screen resolution being really off, looked like this LINK (aspect ratio of (16:10) I believe it was). After much fiddling i was able to get the installation started hoping that in the end it would let me set the res. correctly once it was installed. About 75% of the way done it threw an error saying there was either a problem with the HDD or the CD, I know my HDD is fine, so I booted up windows and set up my USB thumb drive as the installation device, Unbootable.

My next attempt i hooked the laptop to my internet via cable and started the installation again, this time i found that I could set the res of the LiveCD (which was a pain in the neck) and this time Ubuntu installed and upgraded and seemed all sorts of happy! Once the PC rebooted and i selected to boot into Ubuntu, the(what i suppose is) login screen pops up but the resolution is messed up again and this time I can't navigate at all. I've tried just typing in my password and hitting enter as i can see that it is by default selecting my user name to login with.

Ubuntu :: Unable To Change Screen Resolution

Sep 17, 2010

Just Installed the latest version of Ubuntu Netbook on my Toshiba Portege 7200 and the screen resolution is set to 800x600. The OS is not recognizing the fact the laptop can do 1024x768. I've been searching the net for a few hours to fix the problem and I'm not getting anywhere. The fix to the problem is to add the info below to the Xorg.conf file. This file does not seem to exsist on the latest version and if I create it manually it does not work.

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using values from the debconf database.
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only* if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg package.
# Note that some configuration settings that could be done previously in this file, now are automatically configured by the server and settings. Here are ignored. If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

Ubuntu :: Can't Change The Screen Resolution Down From 1680x1024?

Jan 4, 2011

I cannot change the screen resolution down from 1680x1024 (or whatever the default is). Sometimes the task bar disappers, or I get a 'split-screen' effect. I have low vision. I need the old 1024x768 resolution.

I have tried Ubuntu, and many of it's derivatives eg, Linux Mint, Ultimate Edition, and yesterday with Zorin, that seems to be getting good reviews at the moment, and they all have the same problem. Older versions of 'buntu did not have this problem, only 10.04 and 10.10.

I have a standard desk-top pc - Pentuim IV using the on-board Intel graphics, and a Dell monitor.

This is VERY frustrating. Ubuntu is very common and widely-used. The only solutions I can find on the 'net have to do with reconfiguring the X11/xorg file, except there isn't one anymore. This is ridiculous. It should just work. Suse Linux and PCLinuxOS work on my hardware. Why not Ubuntu? By the way, I am not a newbie. I have been using Linux for the last six years, experimenting with different distro's.

If someone could shed some light on this, I would be most grateful. I don't believe I'm the only person who has had this problem, but there is very little infornmation on it.

Ubuntu :: How To Change HP Mini Screen Resolution To 800x600

Nov 7, 2010

I am using HP Mini 1000 Series with Ubuntu 10.10 (later installed with xubuntu-desktop). I want to run a wine application which requires 800x600 resolution. However, my current resolution is 1024x576. The other available solution is 640x480. Previously, I used pre-installed Windows XP, it allows me to change the resolution to 800x600 by clicking the "List All Modes" button at the display setting, then I can choose the 800x600 resolution. So, I think HP Mini is also able to support 800x600 screen resolution. May I know how can I do it in Ubuntu?
