XServer Multiple Screens

I am running Slackware 14 with three screens, using KDE.

The issue I have is that all three display ports seem properly configured, and have worked for a couple of years, and all of the sudden the last several days, mid-day, something happens and one or more screens go blank.

Looking at messages and syslog, I don't see anything unusual. Can someone point me in the right direction towards figuring this out?

There are no buttons to add splash screens in Plasma 5 and cannot extract down loaded kde splash screens into usr/share/ksplash.

I want to connect my laptop to the TV to view sports etc. but when I plug in the HDMI cable nothing happens, the program just continues on the laptop. I am using Xubuntu and am completely new to Linux


Hello guys thanks for helping. I solved the problem by going to Display in Settings and selecting "Configure new displays on connecting". This enabled the TV when I plugged in the HDMI cable. Thanks again. Liam

We are using sabresd iMx6Q board.The boot loader splash screen is showing for a few seconds and before the kernel splash screen loads, the lcd screen is black for 18 sec.Kindly help us to know why such a delay between the two screens.Any help would be appreciated.

I’ve been fascinated by the Raspberry Pi since it was announced but have never gotten one. I think I am about to take a bite and I want to pair it with the LCD panel from an old laptop (LCD controller comes off of ebay) to create an information panel for my living room.
So far, I’d like it to display the current weather (Condition and temperature), network load, and automatically show a webcam feed from the front porch if it detects motion.

I’m new to Linux so I am not sure how to do all of this but that is for another thread. My question is: What would you do with a passive LCD panel in your living space?

I want to show keyboard layout and selection of language at login screen in RHEL 7.

I have modified the language menu to show "show keyboard layout" and "Region & Language settings".
On clicking above menu items, applications are launched but they are not visible at login screen.
I check the programs are running by taking a remote session.

gkbd-keyboard-display -l us
gnome-control-center region

above two applications are executing but none is displaying at login screen(gdm).

How can I bring the applications at top of display manager(gdm).

I have tried

I downloaded the firefox and extracted it using tar xjvf
And then when I try to open from a terminal
I get above error
Error : no display specified

It also default firefox 4.0b12. It opens when I click on the firefox icon and but not via terminal.

I want to open extracted latest firefox via terminal.

Any solutions available for the same.

echo "(You didn't tell me what you want to search for )"

else

pass=0
find=""

for idx in $*
do
if [ -n "$idx" ]
then
if [ $pass -eq 0 ]
then
find=$(egrep "$idx" mydata)
pass=1

else

find=$("$find" | grep "$idx")

echo $find
fi
fi

done

if [ -z "$find" ]
then
echo "There is no such thing"
else

echo $find | awk -f display.awk

fi

fi

-----------------------------------------------------

in find=$("$find" | grep "$idx")

how can I grep variable and store it into variable?

Just installed unbuntu version 4.3.11(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu). Wanted to set up another monitor with an usb vga adapter from j5create. Found this post http://how-to.cc/get-a-displaylink-v...h-ubuntu-12-04. Installed apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-displaylink -> got no green screen on reboot. Created X configuration file...nothing. Looked around some websites were telling me to install: sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg got:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

First time I am trying Unbuntu getting already a little frustrated
