Ubuntu :: Xdvi Not Showing Menu?

Nov 27, 2010

i am writing in Latex and tend to view my document in xdvik out of the vim editor. for some strange reason i suddenly dont have a menubar or scrollbar in xdvi anymore. i looked at the manpage which mentioned +expertmode 16 but this doesnt work somehow. in .xdvirc the expertmode is swiched off as well, but it doesnt make a difference if i change it there either. i tried reinstalling, which didnt work. I am able to get normal behaviour back from the commandline via the -q option. however i'd rather just have things back to normal

OpenSUSE :: Xdvi Cause Xorg To Crash

Jun 10, 2011

For a few days now every time I start xdvi, Xorg crashes completely. The screen freezes and no input seems to have any effect. So I have to reset the PC. I'm on a 64 bit 11.4, KDE setup, the graphics driver is nouveau.

Here is the part of Xorg.0.log, that seems to be relevant:

Code:
Backtrace:
[ 1772.204] 0: /usr/bin/Xorg (xorg_backtrace+0x28) [0x483068]
[ 1772.204] 1: /usr/bin/Xorg (0x400000+0x5e6d9) [0x45e6d9]
[ 1772.204] 2: /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x7f16585e5000+0x32b30) [0x7f1658617b30]

[Code].....

I tried to reinstall the packages containing libc.so.4 and libexa.so with no improvement.

Are there any other log files, that could give more information?

Slackware :: Xdvi Configurations In Slack?

Jan 7, 2010

Simple (I hope) problem here, my xdvi configuration is wacky. It never shows the entire page, cuts off the left side of text. This happened after having to shut the program down a few times due to it hating me.

In any case, the root configuration file works perfectly, so I was wondering if someone knew how to

a) reset user configuration for xdvi to defaults, or

b) copy root configuration over to user.

Ubuntu :: New Software Not Showing Up In Menu?

Jan 2, 2010

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 when I install new software it does not show up in the menu. I have to manually add it by editing the menu. Is there something that I have done that would keep it from adding things to the menu? I am new and not really sure if this is normal.

Ubuntu :: Boot Menu Not Showing Up?

Feb 5, 2011

I am using 10.04 and when I start my system I don't get any boot menu to choose from. I am the only user of this computer and don't have to log in on start up but I would think that the boot menu screen would show up so I could use the recovery tool or change kernel if I wanted to. I have two other computers, and that is the first think that shows up on the screen when I boot them on. I am sure there is an adjustment that need to be made but not sure what to change.

Ubuntu :: Change The Default Viewer For Dvi Files, Since Xdvi Doesn't Render Correctly?

May 6, 2010

I am using emacs+auctex for latex editing now, I want to change the default viewer for dvi files, since xdvi doesn't render correctly most of my documents; okular works perfectly, though I cannot make it the default viewer I went into the AUCTex manual, and there is a tex-view-program list that should contain the list of viewers, but I cannot find the way to customize that variable.

Ubuntu :: GRUB Menu Showing Every Boot Up

Apr 28, 2010

I am working with a acer netbook that I originally had WinXP installed on. I downloaded Ubuntu 9.10, transferred the iso contents to a bootable USB drive and installed Ubuntu. I remember during the setup process that I made sure I chose the option to install on one partition. There is only one partition on my netbook with a small second partition as a swap.

After the installation process and reboot I noticed the grub menu would pop up every boot up giving the list of operating systems of which XP was included. I then ran the update manager and updated 9.10 with all updates. After rebooting the grub menu again showed but the option to choose XP was now gone.

Now everytime I boot up the grub menu shows. How can I modify grub so it will automatically just boot to the OS.

Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB Menu Is Showing Two OS's ?

Sep 12, 2010

I have dual-booted Windows XP and Ubuntu. Because Ubuntu 10.04 doesn't have the required proprietary drivers for my system, I chose Ubuntu 8.04. The installation procedure went well, the drivers are there, everything's perfect but... there's a problem with the GRUB menu that appears just after launching my laptop.

When I first installed Ubuntu it showed Ubuntu (and some letters and numbers), another instance for recovery mode, some memory test lines (I guess there are two of them) and Windows XP.

But after I used the software updater in Ubuntu (to make it up-to-date), the grub bootloader shows two more lines - and those are the same as the first two - Ubuntu (with some letters and symbols) and Ubuntu recovery mode.

Why are those duplicates there? I've never installed another Ubuntu OS on my PC. Because at the moment I have two Ubuntu and two Ubuntu recovery mode lines .

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Menu Showing Sometimes With GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

Nov 16, 2010

I'm experiencing an unusual problem. I have my grub2 configuration set to show no menu. However, sometimes it still shows and waits for input for no apparent reason. On a regular PC this wouldn't be much of a problem but on this particular machine I must make sure grub2 always loads Ubuntu without hanging.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and the Grub2 installed package is 1.98+20100804-5ubuntu3.

My grub configuration is as follows (and I have ran update-grub after changing it):

Ubuntu :: Kernel 2.6.38-1 Showing Up In 10.10 Grub Menu?

Mar 3, 2011

Last week i decided to give the 11.04 alpha 2 a go on my laptop but compiz is currently too unstable for the OS to be of any use so I reinstalled 10.10. In doing this I deleted all partitions and started completely afresh. Strangely since then I have kernel image 2.6.38-1 at the top of my grub menu but if i try to boot it i get either a single blinking cursor or a kernel freeze. I cant find any reason why 2.6.38-1 should be in grub on 10.10.

removing it from the config files as im not used to Grub2 and have been told i cant just directly remove it from /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

Ubuntu Installation :: Not Showing In Boot Menu ?

May 6, 2011

I just installed ubuntu 11.04 via wubi. the installation appears to have gone well but ubuntu doesnt appear as an OS choice when i boot up.

Its not a timeout issue as it is set to 30sec and i can see my other options (windows and a recovery option). the only thing i can think of is that my computer has a separate partition set up for recovery and i think that is screwing things up.

Here is my boot.ini:

My only guess is that since the recovery partition is the first partition that its causing problems.

Ubuntu :: Not Showing Up On Boot Menu - Can't Uninstall Either

Jun 22, 2011

I was messing with my msconfig trying to free up some memory then I realize when I restarted my PC it just boot directly to Windows 7 without prompting anything, although it should because of Ubuntu.

Then, I tried uninstalling Ubuntu and installing it again (hoping to fix the problem). It's alright for me to just reinstall Ubuntu anytime, I was just exploring it. This error pop up when uninstalling Ubuntu

Code:

For more information, please see the log file:

I searched the "file that was not specified" and it was there!

So, I can't boot to Ubuntu and I can't uninstall it either. What should I do?

Ubuntu :: Grub2 Menu Keeps Showing Nonexistent OS Entries / Get Rid Of These?

Jan 24, 2010

When I originally installed Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit, I had the following operating systems already installed:

Kubuntu 9.04
Windows 7
Windows XP

Ubuntu automagically created a GRUB2 menu that offered all of these, plus of course itself, which was fine for a while.

Later on, I deleted and reformatted the partitions that had been dedicated to Kubuntu 9.04. GRUB2 has failed to keep up. Despite running "sudo update-grub" multiple times, the GRUB2 menu continues to show entries for Kubuntu 9.04.

How do I get rid of these obsolete entries? The partitions it was on simply do not exist any longer, so I don't know how GRUB2 is picking it up.

I had already edited my fstab file to reflect the new partitioning scheme, so I don't know where GRUB2 is getting the idea that I still have Kubuntu 9.04 installed.

Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB Menu Items Showing Twice

May 26, 2011

I reinstalled Natty yesterday and then installed Fedora on a separate partition.

I now havedouble the menu items in GRUB2 for both of these.

I ran the update grub command in the terminal and it goes smoothly, but the extra menu items still don't go away.

Puzzingly the menu items point to the same partition on the drive as their clone. Both of the Fedora menu items point to sda8

For example.
tl;dr:

How can I remove menu entries in GRUB? I searched but could not find a reliable answer other than re-running update-grub.

How could I remove GRUB and replace it with Plymouth? Ubuntu Software Centre actually shows Plymouth as "Installed" even though it does not run on startup.

Ubuntu Installation :: Grub2 Menu Not Showing New Entry For FreeBSD

Jan 11, 2011

I've just installed FreeBSD 8.1 on /dev/sda4 (FreeBSD slice), without installing the boot loader from FreeBSD (I've selected None when prompted for boot loader in sysinstall). Now I want to use my existing Grub2 from already installed Ubuntu 10.10 to boot FreeBSD also.

After some reading, I've added to the end of /etc/grub.d/40_custom:

After running sudo update-grub, grup.cfg file shows my new entry. The problem is that after restart, I don't see the new entry in the grub menu.

Another question, If i used chainloader +1, that means I need to have the FreeBSD bootloader installed also on /dev/sda4 right? For chainloading booloaders?

I didn't get to that step, I first want to see the entry in the menu.

Any idea what I might be missing/misdoing? (I also checked for blank spaces in the menuentry like the wiki for grub2 says)

My friend have a laptop which was running in windows 7.Last week he installed Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.But after that boot menu is not showing and it is automatically booting to ubuntu.

So i pressed Shift key during boot and checked boot menu list,which is showing only linux OS ,Linux OS recovery mode and memtest86,No windows 7 option.

So I did following things.

Step1: Tried to find out the partitions using fdisk -l

2.So i tried to add a manual entry by editing the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file like below ,and changed the permission using chmod +x update-grub command

3.Run the update-grub command

But it is not updating the manual entry,The above update-grub command output showing the update-grub command not even entering into the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file because i put echo in that file in that ,and that also not coming.

Ubuntu :: 11.04 Unity Dash Menu Not Showing Search Results / Buttons Not Working

Apr 29, 2011

I've just upgraded to 11.04 and really like it so far, everything seems to be running smoothly and I had no issues apart from a broken Emerald which I removed (and installed compiz-gnome and then made gtk-window-decorator the default, which fixed Unity segfaulting on Emerald).

My problem now is that when I use the Unity dash to search for something, it takes a while to search and then finds nothing. I'm pretty sure I should have things like "text editor", "gimp", "update manager", so I would think this is some manner of bug.

In addition to that, the following buttons don't do anything if I click on them:

- Media Apps
- Internet Apps
- More Apps
- Find Files
