Ubuntu :: Xubuntu Screwed Up After Hooked To Tv
Jun 17, 2010I have a older dell inspiron laptop running xubuntu 9.10. It has run fine for quite a while. I recently hooked it up to my plasma tv to watch some some movies and now it crashes when I try to log in. The process I used to hook it to the TV was: connect VGA cable then boot into the external monitor, then shutdown. I have done this in the past with other laptops and it always went back to normal when I boot without the VGA cord attached.
What happens now is I try to log in then the screen flashes and sends me back to the login screen. One more thing to add, I didn't have to use the login screen prior to this problem, it was set for auto-login.How can I fix this? I can get to the terminal via CTRL + F2 and via SSH.
Ubuntu :: Xorg Totally Screwed Up?
Oct 19, 2010I plugged in a second monitor to my new Meerkat installation and xorg stopped working.
When I took the monitor away it still wouldn't work, so I tried entering with safe graphics and that wouldn't work.
I uninstalled xorg and reinstalled and ran the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but still no luck.
I have tried reverting the vesa driver but it still won't work. The screen flashes like it's trying but just gives up.
I don't know what to do now except reinstall the partition.
Ubuntu :: Android Debugging All Screwed Up
Dec 3, 2010This hasn't happened to me before, but I develop for the Android platform and (perhaps needless to say) I really need to be able to debug on a real device. On past installs, my device was recognized automatically and debugging was as easy as checking "debug" in the Android's settings, but now (after updating to Maverick from Lucid) the phone registers with adb as?It mentions some necessary tasks for set-up on Ubuntu, but only mentions this process for Dapper/Gutsy/Hardy. Is there any personal experience out there that can confirm that this works and/or is necessary on Maverick?

Ubuntu :: Screwed Up Boot Process

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: Windows Screwed Up LVM
Sep 1, 2011I have 2x 2TB drives for data storage in my system. I placed both drives in a volume group and made 1 big 4TB partition on it. I made it ext4 and mounted it in my Ubuntu Server environment and used it for a while without any problems. Just now I wanted to work a little with Windows 7 and I installed it on a separate hard drive (a 500GB one). This went fine but the (f***ing!) Windows 7 installer automatically made a 100MB system reserved partition on one of the 2TB drives (because the freaking MS OS saw them as unallocated space). That basically scewed up the volume group.
Running vgchange -ay gives an error that device with UUID (..) couln't be found. Running vgchange -ay --partial works and activates my volume group as read only. When I try to mount my logical volume inside that volume group mount gives the error that I need to specify the file system. When I do so with mount -t ext4 it returns the error that it's the wrong file system. Is there a way for me to fully restore my volume group? Or a way to mount what's left of it so that I can backup as much data as possible?

View 9 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: SUSE Screwed Up GRUB
Mar 19, 2010I had Ubuntu 9.10 installed and working great. I wanted to check out SUSE because i heard it was better for laptops and wanted to test it out. Went through the install, which was a bit more complicated partition wise than I'd like, asking the begin and end segment shell or something. I changed them to give me a 5GB partition, deleted an old partition of gNewSense (wireless was just too difficult to implement ie. work) and tada... stuff broke. gNewSense still shows up in SUSE's "GRUB" but I can't boot to it. When I threw in my 9.10 cd to fix everything, it showed that 9.10 was still installed and gNewSense was not.
So, how can I fix this. Is there a way to just reinstall the 9.10 GRUB for the Ubuntu I already have installed? The sooner the better, Ubuntu was my primary OS and all my stuff is on it! FYI, do not recommend SUSE as far as installation goes

View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Totally Screwed Up Audio And Mounts
Jun 29, 2010I had it working perfectly everything worked including my headset. The only problem was certain programs were too quiet for my taste and seeing as i have a laptop and cant manually turn up the speakers i looked for a solution and found
Code: [URL] I followed those directions to try and boost the poor sound volume that has plagued me in ubuntu distros. Instead sound sparsly works. It is quieter than was, and if chrome is open at all no sound will play at all in rhythmbox or amarok(the play button dont even works it just sits at 0:00) Only after chrome closes does it play my music files again but only on this partition. As now my windows partition thats also located on this fakeraid just magically disappeared.
how to fix this as i dont even know what i did to begin with. how i can trash kde and start over from within gnome(havent tried to see if it works there yet though) EDIT: Logged back in to gnome and everything works fine. The missing partition is auto mounted like i wanted, the sound is perfectly fine. Obviously something got screwed up in the kde config but i dont know what or what to look for as i have never used kde before.

Ubuntu :: Update Screwed Up Grub Dual Boot?
Feb 3, 2010On my hard disk I have ubuntu 9.10 (/dev/sda6) and Slackware 13 (/dev/hda1). Since Ubunutu was installed second, it replaced Slackware's lilo with grub. Anyway I modified grub and got Slackware 13 booting also, I has been this way for a couple of months. Tonight slackware would not boot, it kernel panic'ed.Complained about no device /dev/sda1 and listed possible devices, /dev/hda1 (What it is supposed to be) being one of them. What the heck, what changed???
A quick check of /boot/grub.cfg first showed that the las cahnged date was 2010-1-30. What? I have not touched grub.cfg since the Ubuntu 9.10 install. But, I remember that about that date I did a system update. there were four Slackware menuentries, and I remember only one. Strange. Anyway I changed Slackware's grub menu entry to root=/dev/hda1 and rebooted. Now it complained about no known file system, Slackware 13 is ext4. Here is the Slackware menuentry:

Ubuntu Installation :: Screwed Up Upgrade To 10.04 On An Emprex BNB-1021?
Nov 20, 2010I am a serious newbie when it comes to Linux. I bought an Emprex BNB-1021 mini notebook which came with Ubuntu 8.04 preinstalled. Since that's a relatively old distro, I figured I'd upgrade to 10.04. I downloaded the upgrade and installed it, and right at the end of the process I got an error (I don't recall exactly what it said, but I think the gist was that the installation failed). Anyway, now Ubuntu won't boot. The boot aborts and I get dumped into BusyBox. Here's the output of the screen:

Ubuntu Installation :: 10.04 Running Slower - Graphics Screwed Up
Apr 24, 2011I just reinstalled my OS (Ubuntu 10.04) and on a new and faster drive than before. And now it's running slower! I was an IDE drive before and not it's SATA and at higher RPM's. The first thing I noticed was that my game, "Armagetron" was not the same. The graphics are really screwed up in it. It looks like a diff version altogether! And I can't find any other versions. Also the controls were different! I have never had to change the controls before. This is what it use to look like before the format: [URL]. This is what it looks like now: Then I played some other games just to see and test. They don't look different but they definitely LAG.....
View 5 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Ttf-mscorefonts-installer Screwed Up Wine Environment?
Jan 25, 2011I installed today's boat load of updates. During the installation a Microsoft agree to the EULA screen came up from the referenced package. Screw that I said and did not agree. The update installations seemed to run with no problems. This evening I found that the fonts used by an application which I run under wine (Forte Agent news reader) had gone to crap. All very light and hard to read.
I manually installed the offending package and agreed to the EULA. It downloaded and installed a bunch of fonts. The wine environment seems to be OK.So then I restored my OS from a recent g4l snap shot. I installed all updates except for 4 related to ttf fonts. Again the wine environment seems OK.Why is Canonical providing something which requires a Microsoft EULA I wonder?

Apr 26, 2011The last update for 10.04 has really screwed my desktop. Several of the icons are off the bottom of the screen. All icons are too large. Can't adjust the screen resolution. Panel at the bottom when placed in autohide is so sensitive that it is almost impossible to use. Jumps up and down like a flea on a hot stove. I have reduced the sensitivity of the mouse to the minimum with no effect. There is no excuse for so many troublesome updates. The problem with using an external monitor with a laptop has never been resolved by Ubuntu.
View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Compiz And 11.04 - Enabling Desktop Cube Screwed Up Unity?
Apr 28, 2011I installed with the image, running alongside Windows 7 on my desktop. I hadn't been in Ubuntu on my laptop for awhile, and hadn't experienced the 11.04 alpha's yet, so I didn't know there would be substantial changes. Obviously, Unity instead of Gnome surprised me a bit, but I have liked it so far.
But here lies the problem. I installed Compiz and ccsm through the software center, then went to enable the desktop cube and rotating cube. I clicked enable/disable on everything that popped up, but I think I must have disabled Unity (whoops). The whole desktop basically disappeared; that is, the dock on the left was gone and the window borders disappeared. I was able to close the windows with Alt+F4, but then couldn't open anything back up. The Super key didn't activate the dock, so it's not like it was hiding. I thought no problem, it'll start back up when I reboot. No dice. Still just the background, nothing to interact with. Only way to do anything is to reboot into with Ctrl+Alt+Dlt.
how do I fix this? Ha sorry for not reading forums beforehand, as I could've avoided this problem. Haven't found any threads on how to fix it, so I decided to start my own.
