Debian Multimedia :: Desktop Background Lost After Sleep - Random Color Blocks

May 21, 2015

Just upgraded to Debian Jessie. I'm having a problem with the desktop and lockscreen that I never had before in Debian 7. Whenever I open the laptop to wake it up, there is very bad discoloration of the background. (screenshot : [URL] ..... )

Hardware is an IBM Lenovo T410 with no customizations. The graphics are factory nvidia. 3D acceleration works flawlessly, and I have no other issues except this background problem.

Software :: Screen App / Retain BG / Color Background Color Gets Lost

Jul 6, 2009

I am using the screen app, and have set bce to on, and issued the following commands to set my background and foreground color: tput setab 4; clear; tput setaf 7; clear;

This temporarily sets everything properly on my screen. However, when I issue any commands that change or set their own background color (for example, when I issue an "ls" command with colorized output), the background color gets lost for any new output and I have to reissue the commands listed above in order to retrieve my background color.Ideally I'd like to keep my background color when issuing these commands, as it serves as a good way to remind me of what environment I am currently issuing commands in.

Debian Multimedia :: Change Desktop Fonts Color

Apr 21, 2015

poking around in the system settings nor Google are cooperating, so: How do I change the colour of the font on my desktop? I'm running Cinnamon (on Sid) and I've got a background with a lot of black in it, which makes the names of icons impossible to read. I know what everything is, of course, but I'd still like to be able to see what it is.

Ubuntu :: Random 'blocks' With Flash 10.2.153.1 On Hulu On FF4?

Apr 2, 2011

I have some strange behavior with Flash content on FF4 on Hulu. I am using the latest Flashplayer (10.2.153.1). On the hulu landing page, parts of the flash overlay disappear (or turn dark) and re-appear randomly. I tried taking screenshots of that happening, but the captured images do not contain any artifacts!

This does not happen on Chromium (12.0.722), and I could not verify this on Opera11 because Hulu would not load on it. Specs: Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64, Compiz, Firefox 4.0, Flash 10.2.153.1 on Intel C2D w/Intel 4-series graphics.

Mar 23, 2011

i am having problems with firefox4 and flash with some sites like msnbc. videos seems to be ok. flash displays displays various blocks of color and is not usable when the problems presents itself. i have the problem on f13,f14, f15 with all versions of firefox4 on two different machines (intel and ati graphics). i tried the new test ubuntu (11.04) and all is fine so i am thinking it is something special about fedora's flash plugin. i mentioned this a couple of weeks ago and it didn't seem to be a common experience.

Ubuntu :: Cannot Recover Out Of Random Sleep Mode

Nov 16, 2010

I'm on the computer for 15 min, and then it randomly goes into a sleep mode, and I can't recover it (system lights are on, monitor on, mouse/keyboard fine). I've replaced pulseaudio with alsa, and whenever I go into the screensavers tab to disable sleep mode, the computer does its thing and randomly goes to sleep. This is REALLY frustrating because I leave the computer on for downloads, but when I come to check on them the computer has gone to sleep, and I et corrupted files on my HDD. How to disable sleep from terminal?

General :: Setting Background Color In Gvim?

May 16, 2010

I use a terminal with white text on black background (I just like it better), so I wrote the following line in my .vimrc file: set background=dark

However, gvim has black on white text. How do I do either of the following: Set the background of gvim to black Check in .vimrc if I'm using gvim I tried this: I started up gvim, and typed echo &term. The answer was "builtin_gui". So I wrote the following into .vimrc:

if &term == "builtin_gui"
set background=light
else
set background=dark
endif

Somehow, it didn't work.

Ubuntu :: Video Drivers - Screen Black With Random Bars Of Color

Apr 11, 2010

I'm a little new to ubuntu. I installed a video driver and after restarting I got as far as the login screen where I saw that the driver did not work: screen is mostly black with random bars of color. I was only able to restart in recovery mode mode. I tried the fix graphics option, which did not work and also some commands that I've seen posted in other threads. So far, still cannot delete the problematic driver or boot up normally successfully.

Ubuntu :: Screen And Vim (256 Colors) Background Color Rendering?

Feb 18, 2010

I'm using xterm/screen/vim, and set them up to 256 color mode. Everything went well, except when background color for the theme I choose is not black.

Here's the theme I use in this example:[URL].. Here's the situation: as long as I only use vim, the background is well rendered, meaning everything is grey in vim background. But when I try this with screen, the background is back to black, and only the text get some kind of highlight with the background color.Here are the magical lines I added to screenrc:

Code:
term screen-256color
attrcolor b ".I"
# Tell screen how to set colors. AB = background, AF=foreground
termcapinfo xterm 'Co#256:AB=E[48;5;%dm:AF=E[38;5;%dm'
# Erase background with current bg color. Not needed if TERM=screen-256color
defbce "on"

Colors are well rendered in 256 color, I only have a problem with this background. Anyone knows how to 'fix' this?

I know how to change the colors of the panels. But on the parts were the ubuntu symbol, the menus (Applications, Places, and Systems), the date and time, and the indicator applets is, they do not change at all. And pretty much the same problem on the bottom panel.

I tried Gnome color changer but only works for the texts and the drop down menus. I use Gnome classic (hated Unity). My goal is to make ALL of the panel background black.

Debian :: Make A Script Run When X Is Started To Set The Desktop Background Using Xloadimage

May 27, 2010

I'm trying to make a script run when x is started (to set the desktop background using xloadimage, run xcompmgr, and make one change with xmodmap [I suspect there is a better way to change this]). The wiki says (on the subject of .xinitrc) "If you want the script to be called when ever an X Session is started, then you should instead use ~/.xsession" I had no default ~/.xsession file. I believed that it would be checked for, so created a minimal file

#!/bin/sh
touch /home/user/this-script-ran
exec /usr/bin/xmonad
and gave it executable permissions (744).
"allow-user-xsession" is present in /etc/X11/Xsession.options.
However, ~/.xsession does not run when x starts.

1) Should I be using something other than .xsession for this?

2) If not, how do I enable it? Or am I making some error that prevents it from running?

The machine seems to come back to life, but the screen stays black. I even tried Ctl-Alt-F1 with no response.

Ubuntu :: Edit Background Color Of Some Textual Output In Terminal?

Dec 28, 2010

When I type (in new 10.10) soem cmdline comands like "ls -l" then some of the directories have a different fore-and background color (e.g. black on green) while the remaining other directoreis are blue on white.

Where can I find out the meaning of the diferent colors and how can I change them?

If I go to menu

Terminal->Edit->Profile Preferences->Color

then I can set only the full overall background and foreground color. But here only certain parts have a different color. the main color (black on white) is suitable. I do not use system theme.

Ubuntu :: Change Gnome Background To Random Image (perl)?

Apr 8, 2011

First, I wrote a bare bones bash script to change the gnome desktop background to a random image [URL] Then, I realized there are dozens of bash scripts posted in the ubuntu forums just like this one [URL] next, rothalem & I rediscovered the drama of processing files in bash that have spaces in the name [URL] Finally, sflitman suggested dumping bash all together & just using perl [URL]

Result :

A pretty little perl script to change the gnome desktop wallpaper / background to a random image. - If you are unfamiliar with perl :

[URL]

The completed script isn't bullet proof but it will :

- accept command line arguments
- accept files & dirs with spaces in the name
- catch most errors or use the defaults.

Step 1 : Inherit the appropriate CPAN library ( from command line )

- Main Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal

Code:

sudo cpan File::Random

Step 2 : Cut-n-Paste this code into a perl script & change red line to the path_to_your_wallpaper_images

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
# rocuan & sflitman
use Cwd;
use strict;

[code]....
