Ubuntu :: Inconsistent Start-up Items?
Jul 7, 2010
I am running Ubuntu 10.04 64 bit desktop edition (on intel core 2 quad 8200, intel dg41ty motherboard, 2gb ram). My problem is that i installed screenlet and drapes wallpaper changer but every time i start my computer the drapes application failed to load and some of the screenlets also not start. In the panels the icons automatically changes their position and sometimes. i don't know what is the problem. Please help me because it is very annoying for me every time i start some screenlets manually and click on the drapes error.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and on my laptop I'm finding it very inconvenient to manage multiple running application interfaces and windows because of my screen being so small. Between the whole Applications, Places, System menus and system tray I don't really have much room to work with. I know thats why Ubuntu's Gnome environment comes with two pannels, but again, I need all the screen space I have and shortening my view of my windows would be counter-productive thats why I'm only using one. So my base question is: Is there a way to shorten the width of the minimized windows to a more manageable size, and how? I would also be fine with just an icon for the indicators instead of the text.

I'm currently using Debian 5.04 Lenny, and I trying to figure out how I stop things running at boot time, in the simplest way, if possible.
In Redhat/SuSE all I had to do was 'chkconfig xxx off' and it was done, is there an equivalent in Debian? A tool or something.
To find a list of items in Redhat/SuSE all I had to do was 'chkconfig --list' and it displayed a list, is there also an equivalent for this? A tool or something.

I have been experimenting with KDEs Remote Desktop connection facility and now every time I start the computer a dialog box opens called 'Invitation - Desktop Sharing'. How do I stop this program running on start-up?

When I setup Intrepid (upgraded to Jaunty now), I chose to create a swap partition. I don't remember the size I specified. Here's what I'm confused about When I do 'cat /proc/meminfo' or 'free' or use the system monitor, it reports my swap size as 1262304 KB (i.e. 1.2GB). But if I do a 'fdisk -l', the partition size is reported as 746991 blocks (of 1024 bytes) and if I use the partition editor it says it's 729.48MB. XP disk mgmt shows it as app. 700MB too

able to find anything on this particular issue. The problem I'm having is that the contrast ratio of text in firefox seems very inconsistent. For example: if I'm reading an article on NYtimes, from one paragraph to the next it looks like some sentences are in bold-face and others are not. If I refresh the page, it'll be different areas that are or aren't bf. Sometimes they even change (getting darker or lighter) as I'm sitting there reading. I tried to take a screenshot but unfortunately the text all becomes uniform as soon as I hit prt-scr so the image doesn't show the effect.
Another example is viewing my personal favorite forum where threads that I haven't read are in bf as opposed to those I have read which are normal. The problem is that when I do a mouse-over of the bf threads the font rendering becomes more greyed out. It's still bold-face, just not as dark.
A final example is in text-entry boxes. As I'm typing this right now the line I'm on looks normal but the paragraph above seems to go from regular to bold-face from one line to the next. The paragraph above that looks entirely bold-face...
It did occur to me that this could be a monitor issue or even a vid-card issue. But it's definitely not monitor because I can scroll the whole screen and the variation moves with the text... And it's not vid-card because I installed Chrome as a check and it doesn't have the same problem. None of the above symptoms carry over to that application.

So, after the upgrade to 10.10, my bluetooth devices keep cutting in and out, and my Jabra bt125 won't connect to this computer. The Jabra won't even show up on btscanner or bluewho, but it will connect to my phone. The phone connects, but quickly disconnects. When left alone, the two will connect again! A friend's other headset connected, but had the same problems as the phone. That was an LG HBM-210. The signal was good for up to a minute, then down for at least a minute, over and over. Before the upgrade everything worked perfectly. What happened, or what did I forget to do? Might I have removed something critical when I switched Maverick 64-bit to the lubuntu package, and tried to remove some redundancies?

Currently I have a HP G62 Laptop and it's been great but recently I've started getting really inconsistent wireless access. When I boot up the computer - it will connect to the wireless and work for awhile but 10-15 minutes later, websites stop loading entirely so I have to restart to get it to reconnect. If I don't restart and disconnect/reconnect... it doesn't do anything, it shows it trying to connect and then a weird "hiccup" happens and it tries again until it finally decides that it cannot connect. I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu I believe.

I installed Ubuntu two ways, both by partitioning the hard drive and installing Ubuntu in its own partition, and also where the "run within Windows" option was available. I then upgraded both to Ubuntu 11.04. When I start Ubuntu in the "own partition" installation, Unity runs without complaint. When I start Ubuntu in the "run within Windows" installation, Unity baulks, giving an error message that I don't have some (unspecified) of the hardware it needs to run, and I am kicked back to the classic Ubuntu control screen setup. Obviously the two ways to install Ubuntu don't result in it having the same behavior. Alternately, since the version installed to "run within Windows" seems to do no such thing, and also gobbled up almost all the free space in my Windows-7 partition without prior warning, any clue how to uninstall that version cleanly?

I recently upgraded from 10.10 to 11.04. I'm on a Dell XPS Studio 1640 and have Ubuntu installed in Virtual Box.A lot of the time when I log in the main menu goes to an old grey theme and windows are the same when opened. I think the Gnome theme is not been loaded correctly?Sometimes it is fine and has the nice default Ubuntu-Default-Dark icons.

My HDD shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 416G 379G 16G 97% /media/Media
sda5 is formated as ext4 - Any thoughts why the numbers do not add up? 416-379 is not 16. I seem to be missing some free space.

I am trying to read the info for Groff using KDE Help Center. The paragraphs take turns in using monospace and sans-serif. There is no apparent logic behind this variability. Additionally, several lists are misplaced (not indented).

I can't boot the 2.6.35-22 kernel, since I get the "Error 16: Inconsistent filesystem structure" every time. However, the previous kernel I have installed, 2.6.32-25, is booting without a problem, so I'm forced to use that until this problem is solved. What can I do?

I have a 10GB IDE disk that Parted says has a single 10GB partition (/dev/sdb1) which is mounted at /home. However, df and the Gnome file managers see it only as a 3GB partition. It was a 3GB partition when I was using Fedora 9 but the partition was resized to 10GB during the installation of Fedora 11.Can anyone suggest how to make df and Gnome see it as a 10GB partition?

I have a script that sends short reports via the mailx command which is failing a lot lately.
Syntax used is basically: mailx -s "the subject" -r somebody@somewhere.com myemail@gmail.com < textfile.txt
For what ever reason this command has become very unreliable lately. I've tested on the command line and sometimes it works but frequently fails. The -r address seems to cause problems as it always fails with a -r set to my work address. I've read several theads and tried adding a .mailrc file but couldn't get past the NSS configuration setting. (Using my mozilla x123x.default dir results in Error initializing NSS: Security library: bad database. )
The nail command behaves about the same. what would make email sending so intermittent?
I've checked the /var/log/maillog but see each mail session end with the following and no errors reported:

My wireless card works most of the time, however with prolonged usage results in a temporary halt in functionality. I am not sure how to go about diagnosing or solving the problem, and I do not know what information I should be providing.

I have two computers, a HP DX2250 with dual SATA drives and a HP D530 with 1 EIDE drive and 1 SATA drive. On each computer Windows XP Pro is installed on the first drive and Fedora is installed on the second drive. I have had no problems installing and running Fedora 15 on the the DX2250.
My persistent problem lies with the D530. I have installed Fedora 15 on the SATA drive several times. I used the Fedora live cd and I have used PreUpgrade. Every install results in the Error 16: message occurring during boot and ending with a Grub prompt. I have even unplugged the EIDE drive during Fedora boot and still get the problem. I might also add: the machine hard drive boot is controlled via F10 and changing the drive controller order. I have installed and used Fedora on both machines from Fedora 11 thru Fedora 14 with no problems. This error is new with Fedora 15. My next attempt is to install Fedora 15 on the SATA drive with the EIDE drive unplugged. All ideas or SWAG guesses are welcome.

I got a new laptop recently, it came with an ssd drive and preinstalled win7. I downloaded the latest gparted livecd and shrinkd the win partitionto make room for slackware (i'll need the win instaltion for a month or so). Slackware current runs very well on it. Except for the strange error when I run Lilo:
Code:
root@tofiks:/boot# lilo
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Added Slack *
Warning: Device 0x0800: Inconsistent partition table, 2nd entry
CHS address in PT: 153:27:3 --> LBA (2315063)
LBA address in PT: 2459648 --> CHS (162:162:3)
Fatal: Either FIX-TABLE or IGNORE-TABLE must be specified
If not sure, first try IGNORE-TABLE (-P ignore)
When I add that option "-P ignore" it installs fine and I can boot.
Code:
root@tofiks:/boot# lilo -P ignore

There is a very conspicuous inaccuracy in the output of df. I should mention, that it was noticed to to a sudden change in the amount of space that was left on the backup partition. The df -h command produces the following output.

I have a SATA internal hard disk and a USB external hard disk, both with several partitions) plus two USB flash sticks and a multicard reader. When I boot Ubuntu (or any distribution based on it) the internal disk partitions can be /dev/sdan, /dev/sdbn or even on one occasion /dev/sdhn. This caused me some problems with my /etc/fstab file and swap partitions, which I have now largely solved by using disk and swap labels.

I've been on 11.2 KDE for about a week (clean install). Previously on 11.1 Gnome. Everything's great except I can't get Autologin to work consistently. It worked perfectly in 11.1 Gnome! In 11.2 KDE sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I set it up as root in both Yast and System Settings.

I have asked this question several times but I think that I am not asking it correctly. I have umbutu 9.04 and Windows 7.0 on my C: drive. When I start my machine I have approximately 9 or 10 items on my boot list and I would like to have 2.It has been suggested that I determine what version of grub I am using and I am using /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.28-19 generic. I have no idea what that means.It has been suggested that I install some various items of software and I am sure that it would solve my problem but to me it would be like looking down a cows throat. Please, don't get me wrong, I really appreciate the input but its like when you go to the doctor you kind of wonder "just what the heck is he talking about". Maybe someone could just tell me how to accomplish what I want to do so I can understand!My daughter uses this machine and she goes to places that I didn't know I had.

So I have virtualbox with a fresh install of Windows XP running in it (no service packs) and when I plug in a USB Item it shows up on the device list and it is not greyed out, but nothing happens I cannot access the device through windows XP. It was greyed out before but then I logged in as root and started virtual box and it is not greyed out anymore but nothing happens when I plug in a USB item.
