Hi, recently my notebook have an issue. The monitor suddenly goes to pure white, and I cannot stop it. Sometimes it recovers after some tens of seconds, sometimes not. Today it even eats up my BIOS screen (the nice Toshiba logo).
Running Gnome3 under F17 on an AMD Athlon 64 processor, using the nouveau driver, the display occasionally changes so as to be unusable. It is always when I have multiple workspaces, and usually have multiple terminals open. When it occurs, blank portions of the desktop suddenly contain garbage - sometimes merely stripes but often looking like a portion of a different workspace.
I’ve found this terminal while testing Crunchbang, Terminator is CrunchBang’s default terminal. Its based on Gnome terminal, its best feature is it’s ability to show multiple terminals on one screen, but it also uses tabs aswell.
It is inspired by programs such as gnome-multi-term, quadkonsole, etc. in that the main focus is arranging terminals in grids (tabs is the most common default method).
Experts, say for example that i have 3 terminals (gnome-terminals open for example or xterm) open and i would like to group them toghether to send commands to all of them at the same time while typing on 1 single terminal, and latter on, un-group those terminals if i need to issue 1 command in a particular terminal. Is there any terminal application that could provide this capability?
Wonder if anyone can help and save me a reinstall?
My wifes AAO with Jaunty crashed last night and corrupted the filesystem on one of the cards so I reinstalled (with Karmic).
It's nearly there but:
1. Despite setting it up as UK, the keyboard is running in American mode i.e "@" is showing as """ and vice versa
There seem to be a few actions that I can take in a terminal that may randomly cause all open terminals to close instantaneously. These include opening a file with vim, opening a file with evince, and moving a terminal tab in one window to another window.
After a system crash and therefore a reboot all characters got substituted by white rectangles (only these rectangles are displayed by ubuntu 12.04 lts - even in the terminal).
The characters in e.g. google chrome are correctly displayed. When i start a terminal session via ctrl+alt+f1, the system characters are properly shown.
do you have any idea how to fix this issue?
Yesterday I did a fresh install of 11.10 with a 11.10 vBox and can't get it to work. I have done this before and don't understand why Im getting so much grief now.
The vBox install starts out corrupted and in 20 minutes or so after install will become corrupted beyond use.
Ok, I searched google, and did a general search here, and I really can't find the answer I am looking for.
Everyone seems to want to have the programs full screen, but I don't.
I want it to look like it did originally, windowed.
I am running on a old laptop, which Ubuntu runs well on, but I want control of my desktop.
I open Evolution, it goes full screen.
