Ubuntu :: Display Monitors 1080p On Laptops Smaller Screen

May 8, 2011

I was scrolling through some multi-monitor problem topics and I guess everywhere has been having all kinds of issues. Nevertheless, I'm going to try and get mine solved. I have a laptop and I can get my monitor up and running, switch between default and not, and move it above/right/left without an issue. But if I unplug it, or boot up unity without my laptop connected to the monitor, I cannot get any functionality. The screen is distorted (as if unity is trying to display my monitors 1080p on my laptops smaller screen, or maybe even the 3268x1080p format that my dual setup runs with).

Is this a known bug or are there fixes out there that allow unity to self-adjust depending on whether my monitor is attached or not?

Setup LAN For Gaming Between Laptop And 2 Windows Laptops?

Sep 22, 2010

I've got a long road trip day after tomorrow, and thankfully, I'm not driving. I own 3 working laptops which I'm bringing with me, along with 2 brothers who enjoy starcraft (1). I've never setup a LAN before, how would I do it? My laptop's dual booting slack and lucid, the other two are vista/karmic and standalone 7. All 3 have cards capable of wireless G and Ethernet ports.

Ubuntu :: Connecting 10.4 And Windows 7 Laptops?

Nov 5, 2010

I actually have two problems (which may be related). I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on a old Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo La1703 and Windows 7 on a new Dell Inspiron 1545. I only have one broadband internet dongle, so I would like to share the connection (preferably via wireless ad hoc connection, but lan would work too). The dongle is run with a program that comes with it and works fine in both Windows and Ubuntu (except that the Network Manager in Ubuntu doesn't realise that there is an internet connection).

Yesterday morning I managed ONCE to make a wireless ad hoc connection and was able to use the dongle connected on the Windows machine from the Ubuntu one (using WEP security). Since I wasn't able to reproduce this I tried with a Ethernet cable. I plugged it in and and was surfing smoothly the whole evening.

This morning I couldn't connect the computers any more. Neither with nor without cable. When the cable is plugged in the Ubuntu machine recognises a connection, but fails to connect. The windows machine just says "Unidentified Network". I don't know what I did to make the connection disappear or why my laptops refuse to communicate like friends any more. I've been trying the whole day to make them kiss and make up, but they are really stubborn.

Ubuntu Networking :: Setting Up Network Between Two Laptops

Apr 28, 2010

I have two laptops with Ubuntu 9.10

I want to connect them with a wireless router. phillips snb5600 router.

So I can go online and share files with both laptops

My LG E500 laptop to function as a modem with a connection to the internet with a 3g usb modem.

My other laptop is an old webtech without wireless built in, but I have a wireless USB thing fully with snb5600 Router. Ubuntu can find the wireless USB thing. so it's not a problem.

Both laptops can also connect with the router with cable.

Ubuntu :: Kubuntu 10.10 Freezes On Averatec Laptops

Mar 31, 2011

I'm trying to build a system out of some old laptops for some relatives. I have two Averatec laptops a 3100 series and a 3200 series. Neither Ubuntu nor Kubuntu will install or run from the live cd without locking up solid.

Trying to install results in a complete freeze somewhere during the installation process. I've also tried the alternate cds to try and avoid a possible graphics driver problem. However, the problem doesn't seem to be X freezing. When I run the live cd instead of the install, the system freezes after a few minutes and is completely halted and must be hard rebooted. No keyboard combinations work including the alt+sysrq combinations.

I tried to get some output from the kernel log by running the live cd and then plugging in a flash drive. I then dump the contents into the flash drive (tail -f /var/log/kern.log > /media/USB DISK/kern.log). I got no error output, but maybe this is because it didn't have a chance to flush?

I've also tried locking the processor at a slower speed with no luck. These laptops do not have a processor with Cool 'n Quiet. I looked for powernowd as I found a recommendation to turn that off, but I didn't find it in the system.

It seems to be some kind of hardware incompatibility since it happens exactly the same on both laptops, but I am out of ideas.

Slackware :: 13.1 - Suspend / Resume With 2 Different Laptops

May 29, 2010

Laptop 1 is an acer aspire 5570. closing and opening the lid works a few times, after editing acpi_handler.sh, and battery life reporting is ok during this time. then, for no apparent reason, the laptop no longer responds to the lid closing, and no longer seems to be able to read the battery charge state. once this has occurred, the computer will also no longer restart, it tries a few times, with lights flashing and the hd making ugly noises. the only way to extricate the computer from this state is to pull and reinsert the battery.

Laptop 2 is a gateway nv18. suspend/resume with the lid are ok, mostly. the issure here is no display at all in x. but the computer does respond to ctrl-alt-backspace to kill x, with the command prompt returning. still not good. I'm trying a fresh install on the gateway, to see if this was just an installation glitch.
Both laptops performed flawlessly in 13 otherwise.

Slackware :: Power Management On Laptops?

Apr 17, 2010

I've got a new netbook - Dell Inspiron mini 1011. I have installed slackware 13 on it. According to dell's website its battery should last up to 9 hours:Quote:Mini 10 offers up to 9.5 hours of battery life1 to keep you on the go.I understand that it depends on a variety of factors and these are just testing estimations that will probably never be achieved IRL.For 95% of the time I don't run X on it. Just emacs (gnus), nethack, elinks. If I do run X, it's fluxbox. The average battery time is 2hrs - 2.5hrs. I understand that Slackware 13 is not designed specifically for netbooks, but 2hrs is way off the 9-hour estimation. Either the battery is faulty, or it's the power management issue. Before I deal with the battery, I'd like to ask you for some suggestions on improving the power management. The acpi and acpid are installed on the system. Are there any packages that would improve the battery performance? Or perhaps some config options?I believe that recompiling the kernel would improve it, wouldn't it? What options I'd have to set/unset?P.S.Unfortunately, once I checked the netbook is ok, I removed WinXP that came with it, so can't compare with it.

Ubuntu Networking :: Slow Transfer Speed Between Laptops?

I'm experiencing slow speed transfer between two wireless connected laptops running ubuntu 9.10. Using SSH to tranfer files between these two laptops, which connect to the internet via a wirelesss router, with good speed. This is why I'm surprised by this low speed : 52.3 KB/s, averaging 3 hours and 31 minutes for a 700 Mb movie. Is there any way to make this faster ?

OpenSUSE Install :: Laptops Cannot Be Configured To Internet?

Dec 17, 2009

(1) What is the difference between OpenSuse and Suse Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) ? I see there is a link to download SLES in the Novell site. Will we have to buy SLES after 60 days for us to continue to use that OS ?

(2) I see this link Software.openSUSE.org

There is this link to download 4.7 GB DVD of Opensuse. Does that mean we need not have to download any packages from this repository, ndex of /distribution/11.2/repo/oss/suse/i586

For installing Oracle on Opensuse 9 I remember I had to install many of those packages on my laptop.

Do we still need to install those packages ?

(3) I have to install this SUSE (either Opensuse or SLES) on my laptop. My Laptop is Compaq Presario CQ60.

Can I connect to Internet if I install this software ?

Last time I faced lots of problems. I thought some laptops cannot be configured to Internet if installed with Linux.

OpenSUSE Wireless :: Connection Dropping On Both Laptops With 11.3

Feb 8, 2011

I'm using an Acer Aspire 3000 since Opensuse 9.3. Wireless connection was fine with ndiswrapper. I upgraded to 10.0 and wireless was perfect with the broadcom firmware. Now I just installed openSUSE 11.3 and my wireless connection became a nightmare: connection drops multiple times in a day and network manager remains stuck in "Interface Configuration". Sometimes I'm asked for the wpa password but Network Manager is unable to reconnect until I disable and re-enable my wlan card using the killswitch. The access point is the same zyxel b+g I own since 5 years! I just bought a new eeepc and I installed on it openSUSE 11.3 too. The network connection behaves the same!! The Network Manager says "Interface configuration" and I must switch the wireless off and on to have the network back. I made a radio scan and I'm using a channel on my own. I also tried to disable dhcp without success.

Networking :: Drivers For Wireless And Wired On New Laptops?

Sep 17, 2010

The fallacy in moving from desktops using PCI (etc) devices which have a history of available wireless and/or wired drivers is simply that one reaches a level of technology in modern laptops wherein drivers used by the devices in those laptops running Win7 are simply difficult to find for Linux OSs.

I purchased a Toshiba L500 (64 bit) which ran Win7 Home Premium; I wiped the HD and installed Windows 32 bit Pro. Runs like a top. Even after I installed Win 7 Pro, I had to search back on the Toshiba site for the wireless and Lan drivers to reinstall. I then installed Fedora 13 which gives me use of Win7 but also Fedora; However, does anyone know where there is a copy of an rpm driver (or for that matter a deb driver) for the following; 1. Atheros AR8152 PCI-E Fast ethernet controller and, 2. the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless Lan 802.11n PCI-E NIC?

Obviously, without the availability of online status for Linux on Laptops, Linux becomes a useless paperweight and I have a very fast new Win7 Pro machine.

Server :: Home Network With Two XP Laptops And 10.04 LTS Desktop

Feb 12, 2011

I am a novice who prefers using the GUI. I am trying to connect a home network of two Windows XP Pro laptops with a Linux desktop (Kubuntu 10.04 LTS). The Linux machine connected easily to the Internet through the network gateway and can see both Windows machines. It can read Shared Documents on one Windows machine without authentication but cannot access the second (perhaps because the second is connected directly to the router instead of a hub like the other two).

On the second Windows machine authorization is requested for Shared folders but Administrator and User names and passwords don't work. All machines can be pinged, and Kubuntu has a fixed network IP address. I have read many HowTos and followed some command-line instructions for setting up Samba but may have confused the setup. Now when I get Kubuntu program updates there is an error report for "samba-common". I would like to be able to share files and printers, and also transfer files from Windows to a Linux folder.

Ubuntu :: Adjust The Clocks Of Two Laptops To Same Time In HH:MM:SS Using Date Function?

Feb 12, 2011

We are doing a project related to clock synchronisation. We have two laptops: Compaq and IBM Thinkpad. If we adjust the clocks of two laptops to same time in HH:MM:SS using datefunction, in about half an hour, both the clock drift by about 10-15 min We are wondering how this is possible???We have compiled kernel 2.6.36.2 on both laptops and set the value of HZ to 1000. Then what is the reason for such a significant drift in short interval of time??Is this related to crystal oscillator or anything else?

In Windows it works fine (I can see my WIndows shares from a Fedora laptop, but i cannot see my Fedora shares from a Feroda laptop. Why it is always so difficult to have a simple facility in Linux?
