Changing Object Size Screen % - Esp Robolinux

I have Ubuntu 14.04
Recently I was on Craigslist when my 7 month old smacked the keyboard somewhere on the bottom left corner. It shrunk the font down to like quarter size, it's so teeny I can just barely read it if I lean REALLY close . . . Does anyone know how to fix it. It doesn't do it if I change areas on Craigslist, only where I was when she hit it, which is really irritating because that's the area I use!. And it's ALL categories in that area! Even the pictures are small now. It's been this way for a month and it's driving me nuts because I use it all the time, can anyone help?

OK, this is probably something really basic, but my power went out for a minute yesterday. Later when I turned the computer back on, my desktop was enlarged and so is internet browser, and the resolution is bad (like if I use google maps). It's been like that ever since when I turn it on. This used to happen on my Windows XP when it would start up in safe mode. I went onto display settings and readjusted the size of the tool bar, but the screen and file icons and internet are still enlarged. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or what to do? It also says "display unknown" when I check the settings. Thanks.

Tiny font when printing Libre Writer doc.
Using Mint 17.1, HP Officejet Pro 8610
Print is so tiny it is illegible, even though font size selected is 12. Printing a text file, gedit, prints okay.
Also, if I export the .odt doc to .pdf, it prints okay.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I just dumped Win7 OS and am learning Linux.

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.

Hi guys

I have installed Linux in a virtualbox on a windows 8 laptop. I found the screen size in the vrtualbox running ubuntu to be too small so I looked around for a solution.

I came across this

'Use Xdiagnose From the Dash, search for and launch Xdiagnose, then enable all the options under the Debug section. Click the Apply button, then close the window and restart the system. You’ll have to restart. Logging out, then in won’t do.'

After doing so my screen went from bad to worse and now I can only see a pixelated view of my screen.

Does anyone know how to work around this problem and get a bigger screen in virtualbox ?

I have an external disk connected to a raspberry pi to act as a nas, which I am accessing from a linux mint desktop machine.
The nas disk is 30GB, but according to my desktop machine, which connects through the file browser via samba, only around 318MB are reported as available.
If I try to copy a 400MB file it tells me there is insufficient space.
The disk is currently empty, so all 30GB should be available.

On the nas box, cfdisk seems to report the disk size and the partition size correctly:
Code:

                          cfdisk (util-linux 2.20.1)

                              Disk Drive: /dev/sda
                        Size: 30016659456 bytes, 30.0 GB
              Heads: 64   Sectors per Track: 32   Cylinders: 28626

    Name        Flags      Part Type  FS Type          [Label]        Size (MB)

I'm not sure where to look next.

Hello, I have been using Petra for nearly a year.

I shut down every night, and the system has repeatedly functioned properly on every boot.

Recently and not always, the system boots and I have my desktop background but without any icons or any tray applets.

When this occurs, I can do nothing from the desktop and I must shutdown using the manual stop button.

When the unit shutsdown, I press the start button and the unit has booted normally, with desktop icons.

All of the desktop icons were created using Chrome.

Is there any way of curing this problem short of reloading the OS?

The machine is a HP-a1630n, with HDD and 2.4G of ram.

Thanks much,
Jim

Hey everybody!
I am (quite) new to the world of linux, but have been trying out a few of the most basic distros (ubuntu-based ones).
I am now using elementary os luna, and i have a problem with installing my nvidia drivers.
I have really been googling my ass off to find this on my own, but without any results that actually worked for me.
So, i have a HP Envy laptop, with a geforce gt 740m, and i have searched nvidias homepage to find out that the up-to-date driver for me would be the 346 driver. I tried it on Linux mint xfce, and i successfully installed it. I had to add the xorg ppa repository of course, and updated it as well, but when i do the same procedure here on my elementary os, i cant reach the login screen after my reboot.

When i use the lspci -vnn command in the terminal, i get this info on my graphics driver:

01:00.0 3D controller [0302]: NVIDIA Corporation GK208M [GeForce GT 740M] [10de:1292] (rev a1)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:1961]

I really hope someone knows how to fix my problem.
Thanks in advance!

I recently installed elementaryOS and everything was working fine until I changed the drivers in the Additional Drivers section.
I then tried changing back to the drivers previously used and others but to no avail. I can see the menu bar at the top and run applications, but the whole desktop just appears black.

Here is some info.

Code:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GT218 [GeForce 310] (rev a2)

How can I fix this issue?

I'm a newbie with a Linux box running Ubuntu 10.04 that I'm attempting to setup to control a desktop CNC. The box didn't have a parallel port so I purchased a SYBA PCI to Parallel card. Following the instructions from the card I ran "lspci -v" and below is what it showed;

03:00.0 Communication controller: NetMos Technology PCI 9835 Multi-I/O Controller (rev 01)
Subsystem: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic Device 0010
Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 19
I/O ports at ec00 [size=8]
I/O ports at e880 [size=8]
I/O ports at e800 [size=8]
I/O ports at e480 [size=8]
I/O ports at e400 [size=8]
I/O ports at e080 [size=16]
Kernel modules: parport_serial

The instruction stated to use the following command;

/sbin/modprobe parport_pc io=e080, irq=19 If I read the instructions correctly.

Unfortunately, the instructions didn't say where to add this command line. Also I didn't see any drivers listed on the disk for the chipset referenced above. So is the card trying to use a generic driver installed by Linux?

Your guidance is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you Brian
