Ubuntu :: Part Of System Screen Is Wider Than It Is?
Jun 30, 2010
I have a problem with in the Gnome Desktop environment. Some parts of my system seem to think my screen is wider than it actually is. To the right if my screen, there is a part of my workspace which I can't see. I can move the mouse pointer there (although I cannot see it then) and I can also drag windows onto this area. If I do that, the window disappears from sight, however, it is visible in the little workspaces of the workspace-switcher-applet in the lower right corner. This applet does display the entire width of the workspace (which is too wide for my screen). If I maximize a window, it does not go onto the invisible part of the workspace.
I got macbook pro 5.1 recently upgraded to 11.04, all works out of the box! However when I watch movies or play a game from time to time I observe a horizontal line in the upper part of my screen which I believe is a screen tearing.Depending on a movie player this effect is more or less visible.nvidia propietary driver enabledvsync enabledcompiz settings adjusted (refresh rate ->60, vsync)nvidia-settings -l is loaded with the systemMaybe it's not a huge problem but everything works fine under osx
is there a way to make the kick icon or start menu icon wider than it is now? I find the default size too small and would like to make a bigger one. I made one and change it but kubuntu still shows it in its default size of which I find it too small.
Is there a way I can make the kubuntu start icon wider like the windows XP one, whenever I make a bigger image it always resizes when it appears on the panel.
my laptop is kinda broken and the right part of my 1440x900 display doesn't work anymore (all black). I think i have around 1200x900 left on the left side. Is there a way to tell X to only use those for displaying the desktop?Does this work with other application using "fullscreen" ?
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop Lenovo T410 and I found a strange behaviour: sometime a part of the screen (small rectangle) freezes and there is no way to unfreeze it. The only way is to shutdown. I cannot use it to work Other colleagues of mine that installed the same Ubuntu version on the same laptop do not have any problem.
I have Evolution contact manager, works well but I cant seem to see the bottom of the screen, its cut off. Is there a way to change the screen size (particularly the Contact/Editor/Personal Information as I want to access the "notes" part of the application" Opensuse Gnome 11.1 on Lenovo S10e Netbook!
I just used dd to clone a linux partition to a new hard drive, it had 800mb left on the old hard drive, after dd, new hard drive lists 1.29/1.3 terabytes full. Is this what happens by default in dd? How can I fix this?
Every time I start up Docky, it blacks out the bottom part of the screen, and gives me a notice that says, "Docky requires compositing to work properly. enable compositing and restart Docky." How would I do this?
In Ubuntu 10.10 I want to have a shell script execute on bootup after everything else is done, *just* before the computer gets to and sits at the login screen. I find this easy in CentOS/Red Hat. If I place my scripts in /etc/inittab near the end, right after the mingettys, that is PERFECT. But Ubuntu has no /etc/inittab and I have spent the past few days going over and over and OVER more info about Upstart and the rcX scripts and I can't seem to get it. Anything I place in an rcX script runs too late, only after the machine is past the login screen i.e. a human must log in first. And I would rather not have to enable auto-login. I've heard that Ubuntu will honor an /etc/inittab file if you create one, and it does, but that too runs too late, only after a human has logged in. Can anyone tell me where a script should be placed in Ubuntu to execute after all system initialization is done, but before human interaction is required?
I have linux based photo editing software that I want to install so that it can be accessed through the Applications menu. Which system folder do I install it in? Or what terminal commands do I use to install so it is part of the system?
I was trying to delete a printer software package and some how managed to do away with part of my system.Guess I clicked on something I shouldn't have.Before I realized what was going on about a page of deleting this and that zipped by before I aborted.Is there a way of finding out what was deleted so I can put it back together?The stuff in my home folder is still intact, so if I have to do a new install it's no biggy.Just hoping I wouldn't have to.Had to reinstall dolphin just to see that the home folder was still there and intact.
anyone knows of a software to take a snapshot of part of the screen and save it as a pdf file. I have KSnapshot installed but this only allows saving image files.
After a install on a old Toshiba today everything looked fine. But when i tried to start Xorg it start but doesn't use my whole screen. It is not a resolution problem it just doesn't use the whole screen. Hopefully this explanation is understandable. On lenny i had the same issue but once i changed the console resolution size in grub everything was fine. Sadly this is not the case with squeeze. I already tried "X -configure" and had a look at the generated xorg.conf (posted below)
[code]....
After that is tried to run the generated xorg.conf but then it just frooze.
I'm relatively new to Linux from an administration pov, and I'm working as half teacher / half tech admin at a school because they can't afford to pay someone who actually knows this stuff. I am having issue with a Foxconn 761GXM2MA-RS2 motherboard, with what I assume is the video driver. Everything looks dandy when booting until the X Window system starts up; at that point, the screen seems to translate some vertical strips of the display output around, so part of the screen gets real fuzzy with the content of the other part.
I am unable to find any Linux drivers for this motherboard, however I may be a bit lucky. Another computer with the same mobo died, so I took the hard drive from that and stuck it in; walla! Functional video..... but no working LAN. I need some way of copying over the drivers (which I believe are compiled into the kernel...) or access to the video drivers and info on how to install it.
Morning all , not sure how to put this. I have a .sh executable script I use for video encoding. I want the system to be able to see it no matter where in which folder I am. I want to be able to execute that script in terminal in any folder. How can I make it part of the system path. ? Don't know if my wording is right but I think you guys know what I mean.
I'm trying to figure out how to access the local part and the domain part of an email address in postfix's main.cf. For example, myname@mydomain.net has myname as the local part and mydomain.net as the domain part.I get the whole email address with %s. I want to speed up the lookups by writing better database queries.I've had no luck finding this in the otherwise well documented postfix.
we have access to one domain name , 1 internet ip address and may servers hosting different part of site. I want them all to be accessed via same web site . some of the server in our network are embedded devices.they have their specific utility being hosted on that machine. So the severs are bound to be distributed . I just wanted to know how can I access them via single ip, domain name.
During booting my ASUS 1215T behaves abnormally. It blinks and some part of the screen gets blank during booting. After booting things get normal. For Fedora 14 and Windows 7 no problem found. My netbook has AMD HD4250 Gfx chipsets with embedded AMD RS880M chipsets.
I am having an issue that the pop-up for Network Manager hangs and will not go away covering part of my screen. This started after the system locked-up. If I try to edit the pop-up setting in gnome it the dialog box lockup and has to be forced shutdown.I am runnning openSUSE 11.3.
I have applied a patch in linux kernel version-2.6.31(fedora core 12)source code.Now I want to check whether the performance of the memory management part has been enhanced. So how to test the efficiency of this new modified code?
In bootseqence of linux, the first step is check the CMOSRAM(size 64bytes) setup for custmor setting. So i am just confused wether CMOSRAM is a part of motherboard or is a part of RAM itself.
I need a webserver (LAMP) running inside a virtual machine (#1) running as a service (#2) in headless mode (#3) with part or the whole file system encrypted (#4).The virtual machine will be started with no user intervention and provide access to a web application for users in the host machine. Points #1,#2 and #3 are checked and proved to be working fine with Sun VirtualBox, so my question is for #4:Can I encrypt all of the file system and still access the webserver (using a browser) or will GRUB ask me for a password?If encrypting all of the file system is not an option, can I encrypt only /home and /var/www? Will Apache/PHP be able to use files in /home or /var/www without asking for a password or mounting these partitions manually?
I typed in a XTerm in IceWM(knowing I don't have permissions):
[code]...
I can't access that folder with these permissions. Why would it place it in such a folder?! What is in this file? What part of the system is responsible for this/ where do I turn this off?
The following are two extracts from /var/log/messages.

I downloaded some software yesterday from the ubuntu rep. This morning my screen has the bottom part of in black there are the KDE docky ,firefox ,terminal & rhythmbox icons ,so is the taskbar..but the wallpaper is cut up ,4cm off. I have noticed that the splash screens res has changed too. It's sharper (smaller). The browser as a consequence is also half lit & having noscript in the bottom without it being visible is a problem. Why has this happened & how can I fix it. The last working config, well that's somewhere else.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop Lenovo T410 and I found a strange behaviour: sometime a part of the screen (small rectangle) freezes and there is no way to unfreeze it. The only way is to shutdown. I cannot use it to work Other colleagues of mine that installed the same Ubuntu version on the same laptop do not have any problem.
I was wandering around the system parameters and saw that there was an option to activate a non-open nvidia driver for my Asus Emachine EL1200 with Ubuntu 8.04 install (pre-installed, worked fine for a year now). So I did. However, when I restarted, my screen resolution was changed to 800*600 or so, no good. Although I could not see the right part of the same "nvidia" window, I managed to deactivate the driver. Regretfully when restarting the screen resolution was still 800*600. I thought it was 1440*900 for my Asus VK192S-B (checked it on internet) but it didn't work (did not check the refreshrate at that time). So I stared to fiddle around and stupidly accepted a 1280 * 800. As I said before the resolution is completely f***up now. I have about 4 copies of my desktop and the worst part is there are lines over it and I can not see what the windows say. I manage to get the resolution config screen, but can not get the right optios selected, working "blindfolded".
I looked at this helpful forum and identified the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file as the important file. Also I saw a xorg.conf.failsafe file with my original config! With the recovery cd of Asus I managed o set up a live session and actually can open the xorg.conf file and see the damned line with 1280*800. Regretfully the original /etc folder as well as the original home folder cannot be written in, or copied. Permission problems, as could be expected. I have some backup, but not of quite a lot of photos I uploadd from my camera recently. Reinstalling from scratch is fo the moment not an option.
I have installed Ubuntu 11.04, 64 bit and now I am trying to install/configure MFC-7420 scanner part (printer works fine)I tried to follow the steps listed at http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-590793.html, but I don't have etc / udev / rules.d/45-libsane.rules file to edit and can not continue with the remaining steps of the guide.
I also tried to follow the steps provided by the Brother Solution Center http:[url].... I have downloaded brscan2 64 bit and installed without error but when I tried to install the brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb using >sudo dpkg -i --force-all brscan-skey-0.2.1-3.amd64.deb I get the following error:

Which dependencies am I missing? or What am I doing wrong?
I ran Ubuntu desktop for a while then installed Ubuntu Server 10.4.
