[code]...
I get this when trying to launch a VB after making one with wizzard.
I have spent the most part of 5 hours trying to fix this issue. For some reason I cannot change the background image to any of mt .jpg wallpaper files (and .png files). I've tried using the Ubuntu-Tweak application, but I end up getting a purple screen (default) or a black screen (default). So then I tried using the terminal method by making the Appearance window appear when I would log out. That works, except when I go to use my background image, it shows as a question mark for the image preview, and the icon for the file is a gray box. All while doing this my background images that I tested are all in the /usr/share/backgrounds location. Please help! I really want to get rid of the default images and use my images... :/ My desktop/screen in 1440x900, and most my background images are around that size. They work with my regular desktop for my account.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI originally have Ubuntu Lucid on my machine. I just installed opensuse 11.2 on another partition without bootloader installed. So I'm still using the Ubuntu Lucid default bootloader grub2. I can boot up opensuse correctly. the nagging thing is that there's no splash screen show up during the boot process, instead, lines of command are flashing, the console background is also missing and the font under console (tty1-6) is huge. what can I do to have these back to opensuse? the current entry in grub2 for opensuse
Code:
menuentry "openSUSE 11.2 (i586) (on /dev/sda2)" {
insmod ext2
set root='(hd0,2)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set 9ac05ede-e7c4-47f3-b55b-66d5844$
linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop root=/dev/sda2
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop
}
which parameters should I add?
Observed on two host systems both with openSUSE 11.3 32 bit using ext4: When a big files, in this case a 1.2 GB and a 1.7 GB is copied from DVD, usb harddrive or shared folder into a Windows 7 32 bit guest system, the copied file is corrupted. The md5sum has changed and until the guest system has been rebooted successive md5sum tests on the same file comes up with various results... After a reboot md5sum tests show consistent results, but a sum different from the original file.

I was trying to install VirtualBox through the YaST > Software Management but it is not working, someone in the forum told me that I have to download the OSE version and do it manual way. Finally I am able to start up VB but not able to use the network connection. Thus I am trying to do this:
/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. I get this error:

When I type dmesg, it shows me a bunch of info which I don't know what should look for. When I type modprobe vboxnetflt, I get the error: FATAL: Error inserting vboxnetflt (/lib/modules/2.6.37.1-1.2-default/updates/vboxnetflt.ko): Invalid module format. what should I do in order to get my VB to be able to connect to the internet?
I would like to know what's going on underneath the GUI, is there a tool for me to see what's going on at the command line while using the GUI?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've got no background desktop image in IceWM.I've got Ubuntu 9.10 PowerPC installed. I did a bare-bones installation of Ubuntu, and installed the latest version of IceWM.To make this work properly, I edited /etc/X11/default-display-manager to have no code whatsoever, so I just manually boot up, and type "startx." To point startx to IceWM, I edited /etc/X11/Xsession to just say "exec icewm-session"
IceWM comes up, and does stuff that I need it to, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to configure a desktop background.
I would like to run in the background the UREADAHEAD for test speedup
Some of you know a way?
I frequently run teamviewer on my netbook because it's my favorite remote desktop application, but it doesn't have an option to run at startup nor hidden. This is what I need:o be able to run teamviewer automatically at startup, hidden as a "service?" (meaning no taskbar button nor tray icon) and with a delay of 20 seconds (it has to be started after my wifi has automatically connected, not before).Can't be so hard, but I don't seem to be able to find a good answer to this in Google.
View 4 Replies View RelatedA couple weeks ago i installed Ubuntu with Gnome on my Dell inspiron 9400, on a fresh new(empty) hard drive. Went without a hitch and has worked great for a couple weeks. A couple nights ago, i opened the update manager and saw that there were a few recommended updates, i browsed through them, none looked spooky or anything so i installed them all. After rebooting, my computer now does nothing at all. I get to the log in, i type in my password and then after that, all that's there is my background picture. No status bars, no wifi connections. I can right click and get a menu, but there's nothing there of any help, just background settings. i'm trying to figure it out as i go along, finding advice in forums and stuff. but i havent seen this problem anywhere. I installed from a live iso. i'm not sure if i can put it back in and somehow undo whatever happened. I'm at a complete impasse with this.

I also notice that when I run a program that installs anything that screen dims (gets like this grey opacity I guess) after a period of time. I am plugged into the wall so the laptop is NOT running on battery.Is there some setting I need to tweak after this latest install? This did NOT occur prior to samesaid.
View 3 Replies View RelatedEvery day I use the top command to check the processes running on my Kubuntu 10.10 system. Every day I find that apt-get is running under the root account and using 100% of the CPU. It'll run forever if I let it but I use "killall" to stop it. Pressing the "c" key in top shows the command used to start the process and doing that I see that apt-get is being started with "apt-get -qq -y update". The -qq param is for quiet mode and the -y is to answer yes to any questions. The important thing is the update parameter. It seems that some "feature" of Ubuntu is starting apt-get in update mode for me on a daily basis. I installed Kubuntu only 3 days ago and I don't recall turning this "feature" on anywhere. How can I disable this "feature" and prevent the system from auto-starting apt-get.?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 on my laptop, and are pritty new to Ubuntu, but have used windows computers a lot. So if you have a solution to me, pleas make it simple. I have installed emesene and have it running on the start up, and since I'm using a wireless connection, I have delayed the running of the program whit the command:sh -c "sleep 10 && emesene %u &" .So i don't have to attend to the log in possess. but still the window pops up, something not necessary, since i rearly use th im-client in the start. So what i want is for emesene to start only in the tray without the contact windows opening. Is that possible? I would prefer to only add somthing to the command and not have to install a extra program.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm fairly new to the Ubuntu world but have been simply amazed by what it can do. Someone told me to install Mac4Lin after I was done and I've done that. The desktop looks a lot more like a Mac especially after installing AWN. I do have a bit of a problem and would be very grateful for any assistance here. My taskbar is set to a background pattern which gives it the OSX look. However, towards the left side where the menu's reside, there is a bit which does not show the background pattern and instead has a dull grey color. I've been searching around for where I can tweak that bit to also have the the same pattern as the taskbar but have had no luck. Attached is a screenshot.
