Installing From USB And Copy Screen Shot!!!

I have been trying to run linux on a fujitsu Lifebook t series, and have two questions. One may solve the other. First, the system settings option in the top right drop down menu does not respond. When I click it nothing happens. Second I can't seem to find the right combination of keys for "Magic Key". This Fujitsu tablet has a Insert/PrtSc key and a Delete/SysRq key. When I try the key combinations outlined in what I have read, I get a Save screen shot dialog box. This keyboard requires a Fn key to be depressed for the second half (first half/second half) of the two keys I mentioned. I have tried :
the Alt + Insert/PrtSc,
Alt + Delete/SysRq,
Alt + Fn + Insert/PrtSc,
Alt + Fn + Delete/SysRq,
All of those combinations trigger the "Save screen shot dialog".
Thanks for any insight!

Hi everyone...

I'm running a Debian Wheezy 7 installation. I recently changed the ownership of my "/tmp" folder and have not been able to log in since. Everytime I turn on the computer it boots normally up to the log in screen, however when I try to log in the screen turns off and on for about a second and returns me to the log in screen. I cannot log in. I have not made any other changes to the system other than the one I mentioned.

If anyone can help it'd be greatly appreciated! Please help.

Hi there everybody,

I am getting really frustrated on a far to trivial problem. I am running ubuntu in virtual box on a windows 7 64bit machine. By default the screen has a resolution of 640x480 and thus only shows the upper left corner of the actual screen, meaning I can't see the entire screen. I was able to figure out, that I have to install guest additions but as soon as I go to devices -> install guest additions I get an error, that the medium couldn't be placed into the drive. It further asks me whether I want to force it to be mounted but if I say "yes" nothing else happens.

Any chance there is a simple way to solve this problem or is this really such a complicated issue?

Furthermore I would prevent linux from going into standby. Actually the settings say, that it will never go to suspend but it does so after it wasn't used for approx=. 5minutes or so.

Thank you guys very much for helping me getting rid of my newbeness :P

Hi guys/gals.

I installed Debian Jessie with LXDE as my default desktop environment, no problems, except I can't play most games. So installed the Meta Package of the Gnome Desktop environment. Everything appeared to be ok, but when I went to reboot, all I get is a black screen.

I went to the Grub and typed in "nomodeset" to get me back to a desktop.
I uninstalled Gnome (not full removal), but still have the same problem.
When I restarted in safety mode, Gnome was still a desktop option that I could load, which I did. I'm confused. Do I need to do a complete removal?

I tried installing the nvidia graphic card driver as per the Debian manual, and that left me with only a root terminal and no GUI.

I've got about 2Gigs of ram and a 2.4 GHz Pentium 3 processor with an ASUS motherboard. (yes, it's a 12 year old computer, but not used for the past few years)

Any help would be great.

Thanks in advance,

Joe

I'm trying to install Debian 7.8 on my eMac G4 (700mhz, 640 Mb RAM). I've tried multiple methods but I keep running into problems one way or another. Since my eMac only has a Sony CD-RW drive and a busted Ethernet port I can't install from a DVD nor a netinstall CD which would be the easiest options unfortunately. First I tried using the multiple CD option, which seemed promising at first; until I had to swap to the next disk during "configure the package manager". it won't eject the CD when I use the eject key on my keyboard (imac g3 pro keyboard so I go back to the main menu and select the "eject a CD from the drive" option at the near bottom then things seem to get clustered. When I tried inserting the next disk, nothing else will install. It keeps telling me I need disk 1 again through every step. Then at the end, it tells me the installation is complete before I even install a desktop environment from the final CD. Then I just end up booting into garbled text and errors.

After all of that nonsense, I tried making a bootable USB from the DVD ISO with the OS X terminal. This method usually works with just about anything I've done before. However for some reason Debian apparently simply refuses to boot. As I tried selecting it on the boot menu on the start up, it gives me a black screen then goes straight back to the boot screen with disordered graphics. When I tried booting it from open firmware, it goes to the first screen, then when I hit enter to actually boot to the installer, nothing but errors. Finally I tried booting it straight from the ISO file on the hard drive, that method didn't even work at all.

Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong if possible or perhaps recommend me a different option?

Hi,

Can someone tell me what does the error in the screen shot mean?

I suspect its something hardware related, maybe a RAM? Can someone pls confirm that to me.

I installed Linux Mint but I can't see the taskbar to open menus,firefox or anything. When I hover my mouse in the bottom right corner the date pops up, so I think everything is there but I just can't see or click on anything. The only icons on my desktop are the Home and computer icons and they are barely on the screen but still visible. I'm hoping there is a way to adjust the screen ratio to show the whole screen. Also on web pages the "close tab x" is off the screen and out of range for my mouse to click but I was able to drag the page down to get to it.
I was able to make the taskbar icons larger, now I can see the tops of the icons so I at least know they are there.

Hello, so for a good 6 months installing and using Linux on my HP Chromebook 2014 has worked perfectly. Then bam, one day I get on press ctrl+alt+T type in sudo startunity and it doesn't work! I am willing to reset my laptop and reinstall Linux if necessary but if its fixable please let me know! I've been looking around and haven't been able to find anything about this. Here's a screen shot of what it says:

Personally, I think its because my Chromebook automatically updated itself.

I need steps start from scratch about hosting a site on http and https in linux along with screen shot if possible. I have installed Apache.

Can you please let me know. I am very new to Linux

I downloaded Mint and burnt it to a CD. The computer boots up fine with the CD, goes to the Mint home screen, but when I try to install it and partition the hard drive to run next to Windows Vista, the screen completely garbles (green background with short different colored horizontal lines all over it). Is this normal? Should I let it run for a while and it will clear up? How long can I expect the partitioning to take?
