Ubuntu :: Resolution Tiny After Restart?
Nov 23, 2010
i just restarted because of some problems and as i booted, the ubuntu logo with the load thing was looking different and errors appeared under the logo. The resolution is 1024x786, but it was way higher before. When i click on System/Preferences/Monitors it says "It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary extensions to use this tool. Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's tool instead? y/n" I have a broken package: sun-java6-jre, is it because of that?

I have 3 little pieces of hardware called Xcore.
They are very stripped down computers with minimal configuration : 1Ghz CPU, 1GB RAM, 1 SD Card (and usual USB/VGA ports).
Everything runs fine out of the box with Debian 7.2
Linux debian 3.2.0-4-486 #1 Debian 3.2.51-1 i586 GNU/Linux

I set my resolution to 1680 x 1050 via the vendor's tool and I even saved it to the X config file but every time I restart it's set back to 1280 x 1024.

I'm having trouble with x11...when I restart my laptop, the screen resolution is always reset to 1024x768. I set the resolution to the appropriate 1280x800 and everything is fine for that session, until I restart or re-login. Then the screen is reset back to 1024x768. Saving the x configuration file after resetting the resolution doesn't help. I'm using Nvidia's "Current Version" in the Addtional Drivers and making changes qwith "Nvidia X Server Settings".
Ubuntu 11.04 MacBook Pro 7.1

I just did a clean install from Ubuntu 8.04 LTS to Ubuntu 9.10. I went to System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers to enable any drivers (mainly for my graphics card so I could run higher resolutions). Had two driver, one for my wireless network interface card and one for my graphics card (NVIDIA Geforce FX 5200). I enabled the drivers restarted and went to System -> Administration -> NVIDIA X Server Settings. The resolution was set to "Auto", which is 1280 x 1024 (max.) on my old CRT.
I've ran that resolution for a day now and it isn't as snappy as I'd like it to be (or as the exact same resolution was on 8.04). So I reverted back to 1024 x 768. Everything seems to be running as I'd hope under the lower resolution. The only problem I am running into now is when I restart NVIDIA X Server Settings changes back to "Auto" and automatically switches to 1280 x 1024. I've clicked "Save X Configuration File" thinking that might help retain the resolution I want after startup, but it just says "Failed to parse existing X config file '/etc/x11/xorg.confg'!"
How do I get my resolution to stay at 1024 x 768 after a restart?

I've just bought a new monitor - Viewsonic VA2213w and am trying to set it up with Lucid. The resolution required is 1920x1080 @ 60Hz. I have an NVidia GTS250 with the proprietary driver v195.36.24 installed. I can set the right resolution in the nvidia-settings app, but it will not survive a restart. X always reverts to 1024x768. I have manually edited xorg.conf now to try to force the mode. The GDM login screen displays at the correct resolution, but on logging in X changes the resolution. Xorg.0.log shows the resolution being correctly set to 1920x1080 initially, then right at the end for some reason it is reset to 1024x768.
xorg.conf
Code:

I recently installed Fedora 14 KDE and NVIDIA proprietary driver for GeForce FX 5200. I'm able to change the resolution to 1920x1080 (Acer H213H 21.5" lcd monitor), but when I restart the box, I lose these settings and I have to fiddle with NVIDIA and KDE monitor settings until I get the settings back.
Here is my xorg.conf file:
Code:
Is this (in)correct? What else can I try in order to keep my resolution at 1920x1080? When I restart, it reverts to 640x480.
I didn't have this problem before installing NVIDIA driver, however, I had visual anomalies and slowness in video refresh/repaint whenever moving windows. I don't want to go back to that so I'd like to see how to permanently propagate my resolution settings through reboots of this box. I've search multiple forums with no relevant hits as far as I was able to discern.

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) Desktop Edition Gnome.
I was a Vim user in Windows. I heard that Ubuntu comes with a compact version of Vim called vim-tiny.
I wonder if this latest version of Ubuntu comes with vim-tiny or the complete version (is there any way of checking which one is being opened with the vim command in the terminal?). If it is vim-tiny, how can I install the complete version of Vim and start it inside the terminal with the "vim" command? Because right now vim-tiny (I guess) starts by typing "vim" in the terminal.
will the vimrc of the tiny version interfere with the complete version of Vim?

All of sudden, as of yesterday, I can't read any windows that Thunderbird displays. First of all they are hard to find, because they're a couple of pixels wide and may two dozen pixels tall. Once I find and enlarge them, they have no content they're blank. Everything worked fine until yesterday. I haven't found any other application misbehaving.

I installed jabref via packages on lucid.When I start it via command line or applications menu it starts, but is initially a minimal size (not minimized) window at the top-left of the screen.If I resize or maximize it everything works properly.This doesn't happen with other programs.Any idea how I can get it to start in a normal usable size?I tried resizing, closing, and reopening it.I also tried having a database open or not.

I have been using Ubuntu for a while with no real issues. I have tried to do a fresh install of Kubutu but I cannot install it due to the fonts on the installation process being tiny. I am using a HDTV as my monitor so could this be the problem?? I have no other monitor to utilize so where do I go from here?

The screen at 1920x1080 with tiny gnome icon. Almost unreadable, can the icons be bigger? KDE has excellent icons but for some mystery the system cannot run KDE. All gnome, not just ubuntu, have 10.4 now runs excellent need to keep it.
New hp system, 1 terabite ram, nvidia graphics system 2 gig.
Soon to switch to larger monitor, but those icons...Tried cairo icons, no use, trouble.

install of Win7 Pro x64 and I have VirtualBox installed with Ubuntu 10.04 running as a guest OS. I want to get access to the tty1 so I press CTRL + ALT + F1. The screen resizes to a smaller size, turns black, then the gnome desktop reappears but only the top left corner.

So I installed Kubuntu 10.10 on my mac mini 3,1. Everything worked smoothly until I ran the updater and installed the nVidia drivers (I was using an install DVD I burned back when I was doing the beta test. Under nVidia, a lot of text like menus and the like is showing up excessively tiny- like half to one third the size its supposed to. I suspect a problem related to my monitor, which is an LCD TV. This happens at all resolutions.
I can scale up the text in workspace appearance, but the amount of space for menus and icons doesn't change one bit and the larger text just gets chopped off. Anyone had this same problem? I'm really hesitant about going out and connecting a VGA monitor- I don't have an adapter on hand and I'd rather not go explaining to the Apple store that I'm having trouble with it on Linux.
Ironic thing is, text displayed as part of a web page in Firefox shows at the correct resolution. Edit: I got to looking in the nVidia controls, and it says my resolution is 49x50 DPI. That should be like 96x96 or so.

This is really frustrating..> I just successfully installed Kubuntu 11.04 and after updating the system and installing the recommended Nvidia driver, the fonts are crazy small.. See the attached screenshot.
I'm using the default font settings.. so I don't get why they would look so small.

I have just finished the upgrade of the latest version and I'm at the point of my system restating.
My system automatically tried to restart but on the restart I got the 'terminal' view. It stopped when asking for my username (it never normally asks for this before the grub menu) and then password. I didn't get any further than that.
I now have on my screen (still in the terminal view before the grub menu)
"name@name-desktop:...$ "
I'm on my phone now so I don't actually have the symbol for before the dollar sign but your know what it is. The raised S on a 90 degree angle.

At work we are trying to avoid paying for a cert for our outlook owa. I thought of Tiny CA, but can't find a windows variant, it appears to depend on things that would not allow that.
Does anyone know if it is possible to create a Tiny CA Cert and install it on a Windows Server 2003? If not does anyone know of a good free Cert creation utility for Winedoze.
I have a feeling this is going to be another feather in the basket to convince my boss to go Ubunutu.

This happened after ubuntu pushed an nvidia graphics update about a week ago, on upgrade I booted up into this:Obviously I had to take this picture with a camera, since a screenshot only showed one screen. It's perfectly usable like this, except that it's too small to read.I of course have tried 'sudo nvidia-xconfig', and a minimal xorg.conf:
Code:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default Device"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
Along with purging and reinstalling all of the nvidia packages numerous times. I'm currently running on the VESA driver, which sucks. My chipset is a 9200M, but like I said, it worked perfectly before the last upgrade. In all my years of using linux and kubuntu, I've seen and fixed numerous nvidia driver errors, but I've never seen one this strange, usually it will run or not run.

I am using KDE4 on 10.10 64-bit.
Only ever use the KDE desktop so completely removed XFE and the rudimentary Gnome left behind on the install.
Not a desperate problem just an annoyance.
Everything works fine, except if I logout the next login screen is using a really tiny font and I can't seem to find anywhere to change it.
The DPI must be about 10, as I can't even read it when blown up on my projector.

I have a suspend problem in my laptop. Sometimes, when resuming from suspend, the network adapter is down (that is, the network does not work and the light of the network adapter is off). Restarting the network service doesn't work, because I think that the system forgot about the hardware, and probably the driver should be reloaded.Does anyone knows how to do that?(ps. /etc/init.d/networking restart does not work, because the hardware driver is not being recognized anymore).

I'm building a Cluster with 20 small Compaq ipaq PC's as the nodes. I have absolutely no room for any keyboards on this cluster. The PC's require a keyboard to boot, and there are no BIOS settings I can adjust to fix this problem, and no BIOS updates. I have found a small DOS .com program by Compaq called NO_F1.com it's designed to allow the computer to continue to boot without a keyboard. it's only 172 bytes in size. It sets a bit in the CMOS which allows the boot process to continue without a keyboard. It does not permanently set anything, so it needs to run each time the computer starts.
Is there any way I can execute this program very early in the boot process every time the node boots ? I thought about dissembling the program and trying to modify the boot loader, or some other ASM program, the program is only 172 bytes. But thats really over my head. What could I try, I don't know what to do. Also, I have no floppy drive and no CD drive to boot from, only USB or hard drive.

Thunderbird has been running on my Fedora 13. After a recent yum update, it opens a tiny window in the upper left corner of my screen, which I can enlarge manually. There are no contents in the window. I cannot see anything.

I was using a friends laptop and decided to boot into an install of tinycore on a flash drive. This laptops battery is already pretty much shot because it is left plugged in all the time no matter what the use, and before I booted into it the level was at about 60%, which means about 40 minutes in windows. When I booted into tinycore, there was only about 10 minutes before it shutdown completely. I noticed the fans were on high and the air coming out was rather hot, but why does that happen?

Why is the font rendered so small on this site? C++ Shell? Before having Debian Stretch as a dual boot, the fonts rendered much better in the VBox VM after installing infinality.

<Edit> Got it fixed. Didn't put the correct res in the xorg.conf file...Sheesh...None the less, this is the moment that I do a little dance around my little space...I got current up and running with only asking this dumb question...Hoo howdy...It's GRRRRRRRRRRRREAT...Now to test to see if everything I had on 12.2 will compile...So far gbdfed is not doing so.../edit>Sorry if this has been posted before, and I will look for it later if no one replies, I'm just bloody burnt out at the moment...Hooked up 122gb hd, and rather than spend the hours reading up on dd, I decided to try 13.0...Lo and behold my 845g didn't work, which I had suspected would have been the prob...So I fuddled around, read, and read, and read some more...Upgraded to current, based on a thread here...Forgot to check lilo for any errors...Hoo boy, what fun...Current changed the drives from hd# to sd#. Had to use my old zenwalk 5.2 disk to chroot in order to fix that. Then something else went wrong. Well, now I know what mkinitrd is good for, . Well, fuddling around some more, installing this intel driver, installing that intel driver until I finally found something that worked...However, I get better frame rate with glxgears than I did on 12.2, but when I move any windows they are a little choppy, plus the little tiny fonts which is rather annoying...Anyway, what else should I look at? Could it be xinarama support which I don't need?

For some reason my desktop icons have decided to be very small and can't be changed (systemsettings/appearances/icons/advanced) It happened after I enabled and downloaded the files need for compiz. I have disabled compiz and now have no 3D desktop effects, but still cannot alter the desktop icon size. What have I done?
