I am trying to get 2 monitors setup.
I have Radeon HD 4800, using the open-source driver. 64bit.
When i change the monitor settings in KDE it changes, but when i reboot: the monitors is going back to duplicated (screen settings have not been saved).
This is the settings i want:
How can i make the system automaticly use these settings at boot?
I solved it. Made a script 1920x2.sh in /etc/X11.
xrandr --output DVI-0 --auto --output DVI-1 --auto --right-of DVI-0
Added this script to Alt + F2: Autostart.
Maybe not the best solution, but i works.
To try to troubleshoot this, launch KDE from the Linux console and check its error output. Also check the Xorg log (usually found on /var/log/xorg.0.log). You may need to generate a config file manually. You could also try running display settings as root.

I've just installed Arch Linux and installed the gnome package (Note: Not gnome-extra)
I open Gnome using the xinit gnome-session command, as I have already installed X Window.
When I run that command, Gnome opens up and I'm presented with a white terminal titled "login". However, nothing I do in this terminal actually does anything. No commands work, nothing.
Could someone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong? There have been a few questions around similar to this, however none that have been properly answered.
Thank you!
After installing gnome session you need to append
exec gnome-sssion
at the end of your .xinitrc file located at your home.
when you get the login: prompt enter your username and then your password.
Once you're logged in type startx to start gnome session
Solved! I hadn't set Gnome to startup automatically, so when you login to Arch Linux using your standard root login. Check that gnome is installed and works (Use: xinit gnome-session).
Create an account by going to Settings, Users, Create the account as Administrator. Logout of Gnome Log back in as root to your Arch Linux CLI Use the command: systemctl enable gdm The next time you reboot, you should be presented with the Gnome Login screen.

I am trying to X-CTU running on linux under wine so I can apply firmware to my Xbee radio. The program install and runs fine under wine but when I go to the Modem Configuration tab it errors out saying it can't read my modem configuration. Has anyone had any luck with this?
I was able to get it working. You have to download all the firmware updates from the Digi site (ftp://ftp1.digi.com/support/firmware/). The files you need are:
82001817_a.zip
82001817_B.zip
82001817_C.zip
82001817_D.zip
82001817_E.zip
82001817_F.zip
82001817_G.zip
Download the above files into:
~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/Digi/XCTU/update
Then open X-CTU and go to the modem configuration tab. Click the Download new versions button then select from file. Select each of the files you downloaded. Once you have the all loaded click the read configuration button and this time it should work.

I successfully installed a script to automatically launch in /etc/init.d on my new Raspberry Pi.
Unfortunately, it is a node.js app that never returns, and therefore hangs the device during boot (this is on Debian). Yes, I'm an idiot.
Is there a secret handshake I can do during boot to prevent it from running my init.d script so I can get to login and a shell to fix it?
What I did to solve this is this, and I warn you, it involves Windows.
I mounted the flash card on my PC and edited "cmdline" and added "ro 1" to the end of the kernel config. This only allows boot to proceed thru runlevel 1 and then drops you into root shell after a prompt.
NOTE: Windows 8 can read the kernel config file unmodified - no special drivers needed.

I been trying to install Ubuntu for my new laptop for ages now. Always getting the same error the very last second of the install.
Here is a screenshot and a the log of the install.
LOG : http://pastebin.com/sHr1x7C7
Screenshot: http://i40.tinypic.com/160vi88.jpg
Used the windows installer. Tried to reboot multiple times. But the OS is not showing up on the list on boot.
First, the distrib is ubuntu, not ubunto.\
Secondly, I recommand you to use a live CD or a USB stick if you want to try the system, and if it works well and/or you like it, install the system using that same medium.
There are plenty of howto on the internet, so I won't explain here, but the principle is to reduce windows partition (or allocating a full hard drive for linux) and manage the partition scheme throw the installer.
Hope this helps, at least a little :-)
First, it's ubuntu, not ubunto. From my google searches your problem is a pretty common one with no apparent solution. Burn the ISO to CD and install that way, it is the most reliable method. If you cannot do that, try the USB or netboot options, but the CD is the best way.

I've a machine with gnome & ubuntu maverick. Desktop sharing enabled. I want to know who as connected (the sharing is password protected)
Where are stored the logs of vino server, if they are any?
Thanks in advance!
Actually, you can get logs with vino.
Write a shell script for execute vino-server, redirecting it's output to a file. Something like this:
#!/bin/bash
/usr/lib/vino/vino-server --sm-disable 2>&1 | tee -a ~/.local/share/vino/log
Now, go to gnome menu bar "System -> Preferences -> Startup applications", uncheck "Remote Desktop" and add a new one. Give it a name, like "Remote Desktop w/Log" and select the shell script with the "Browse" button. Save it and log out.
The next time you log in you should have something in ~/.local/share/vino/log
I used this in Debian 6.0 Squeeze with GNOME 2.30
dpkg -L vino doesn't show anything created in /var/log so i guess there are no logs.
