View 1 RepliesI'm using 10.10 ubuntu @ Aser Aspire one D250. I had some issues with black screen booting (plymouth) and I fixed them with this:
Code:
sudo su
echo FRAMEBUFFER=y > /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/splash
update-initramfs -u
exit
It's fixed and ok when I'm on AC Adapter only. When my laptop booting from battery the problem with black boot screen remains. Why? Is there another option for graphics or plymouth when the AC Adapter is plugged?
I got this message today after cleaning out the inside of my computer. Didn't really mess with anything. Booted into Windows XP just fine, had to restart for an update. Burg loaded, I selected Windows and I get:
"NTLDR is missing. Press CTRL-ALT-DEL to restart." WTF? Windows breaks itself. Great. My ubuntu install works just fine. I have 2 separate hard drives, with one OS on each. I can't access the other drive from ubuntu. It says
Unable to mount location Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 13: Index entry out of bounds in directory inode 5. Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Input/output error NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g. /dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation for more details.
i moved from ubuntu to cent-os recently,however i am not able to connect to internet, even ifconfig dosent work .
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm a compiling noob, but one who can follow well-written directions. I was led to believe that I needed to compile an updated version of freetype to satisfy some build dependencies in Wine, which I also needed to compile to be able to use a custom patch. So now my fonts look awful. I read the directions that came with the freetype source code, and one thing I didn't configure properly was the auto-hinter, which I believe to be the problem (although that's just an educated guess), since the documentation lacked the necessary docs.
how do I go back to stonking great fonts? I'd rather keep the new version of freetype, if someone could tell me how to properly configure it to display fonts correctly.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI have been using linux for a few months now and I love Ubuntu 9.10. I found a link to mspaint.exe and it works fine in wine. It can be found here: [URL]. I downloaded it, and then extracted the file to "/home/christopher/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/Paint/". Then in that folder, I right click the file "MSPAINT.exe" and selected "Open with Wine Windows Program Loader" and it opens just fine and works perfectly.
I want to put it in the menu panel under "Applications-Wine-Programs-Accessories". I tried doing it by right clicking the menu panel and editing menus, but I dont know how to make the file "MSPAINT.exe" automatically open with Wine. For some reason, when I got Project64 and a few other apps I didn't run into this problem because they were automatically put into the menu and opened with Wine by default.
"Ubuntu Server has no open ports by default" - [URL]. Does this mean right after a 10.04 Server Edition installation, if a user wants to start a web service e.g. a Java process to listen on say port 8080, he would have to configure the firewall first?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use slackware 13.1-current on desktop with 4gb ram, nvidia geforce 210, and AMD cpu.
I have problem with my X starting using 40-50 MB of RAM and after some hours suddenly rises up to 400-500 MB. I have tried KDE ( with and without desktop effects ), LXDE, 3 different nvidia drivers ( the one made from the slackbuilds ) but no luck.
I decided at last to use the default slackware's driver. I uninstalled the nvidia driver and do startx, but it says code...
I have no idea about GPU and drivers, it was a mistake to install a driver for my nvidia just to have desktop effects. I just want to bring the things back as at the beginning of the systems installation and the default drivers.
Do you have any idea how to do it?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've tried to set up a Hadoop cluster on a few freshly-installed 10.04 Server Edition machines and hit a problem. (I was able to set up the cluster using Desktop edition previously). The issue is that I can't connect to the service even though the Java process is running and listening on the port and there is no error in the logs. Anyway, I started to wonder if it was firewall issue so I googled it and found conflicting information.

I'm on an HP envy with with hybrid graphics configuration. I installed debian 7.7 from DVD, but it failed to load i915 driver on its own. It loaded nouveau. But gnome falls back to classic mode. There is not brightness control either.I tried adding i915 to /etc/modules and also blacklisted nouveau at the command line. Now i915 gets loaded, but with some hickups as shown in dmesg. Still I'm in fallback mode in gnome.
Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ dmesg | grep drm
[ 16.152467] [drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[ 16.161706] [drm:i915_init] *ERROR* drm/i915 can't work without intel_agp module!
So I went ahead and added intel_agp (before i915 line) to modules file, but still no luck. I suspect there is no module called intel_agp at the first place, because :
Code: Select alljay@aura-envy:~$ sudo modinfo intel_agp
[sudo] password for jay:
ERROR: Module intel_agp not found.

so in Windows I remember I could add to the registry under the * folder in classes_root under Shell, I could add any command I wanted. That way no matter what file I right clicked on I could have EDIT or OPEN with that file.
Is there a way to add this to the gnome right click menu? A default always there for all filetypes? I have UltraEdit Linux installed and want to have the same functionality I had when I used to use windows.
