Mouse Input To Gnuplot In Ubuntu

When I bring up Linux Ubuntu I would like to get a login prompt and choose as whom to log in. Then I would like to say startX or something like that and to get into X-windows. As I am in X-windows I would like to, do a right mouse click or something and chose “open a new terminal” or something. I used to do that all back over decade ago. Then I haven’t used Linux for over a decade. Now I got a box with Ubuntu, but …

When I bring it up I automatically get logged in as “Owner” and I get into interface that limits what I can do. Specfically, I don’t see how to become a different user, how to get into command line mode, how to run X-windows and open multiple terminal windows. And I would like to decide myself when to invoke some fancy GUI interface, instead of being forced into it..

I found one way to do some of what I want: ctl-alt-functionkey. But when I log in and do startX from there the right mouse click does not give me “open new terminal” option.

Could somebody help me out? Thank you very much in advance.

In my Ubuntu 14.04 something happened to gnuplot app. When I invoke a command gnuplot filename.gnu no canvas is generated. I think it began about a month ago but at that time I worked on this machine via a remote desktop and I thought, mistakenly, that the plot actually was generated on the major machine and I could not see it. I operated at that time via a laptop. So, today is the first day I am testing this software on my desktop and lo and behold no plot is generated.

When command is run Ubuntu does not come to the command prompt. It gets suspended and waits. If I click RETURN button, the command prompt will again appear but where is the plot?

I hope I made my plight clear.

Needles to say I have used gnuplot many times in the past although perhaps in Ubunutu VM which I will test shortly.

I also made sure that gnuplot is installed, trying to do

Quote:
sudo apt-get install gnuplot
The result was that I do have it installed.

What is the problem?

Wireless mouse and wireless keyboard is not working in Linux distro's.

Read the similar threads on this issue. Boot mode is set for UEFI and Legacy therefore not sure what to do to enable mouse and keyboard? The mouse and keyboard use the same 'receiver' and the receiver indicator is green when Linux distro is fully loaded. Have tried various distro's, Ubuntu, and Ubuntu based distro's using LIVE DVD method on all. Latest distro tried is Peach 14.04.1 TW.40 64 bit. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3, CPU AMD FX6300 3.5 Ghz six core.

Thanks for any assistance.

Hi there. My environment is Ubuntu 12.04 OS. I have an example of the files I create with gfortran and gnuplot. The gnuplot draws this picture from a data file with 2D Cartesian coordinates. It is perpective projection. I need to color some parts of the plot (various lines) in different colors because some other details must also be drawn and I feel that the resulting network will be confusing. Gnuplot user manuals treat this subject but only in conjunction with lines drawn through a formula like sin(x), etc. I don't have that. All I have is columns of floating point numbers. Is there way I can draw lines of different color with gnuplot 4.6?

Thanks, - A.

No mouse pointer on loading Mint 17 onto new build computer: Asus A88XM-A mobo, AMD A6 7400K CPU, 4gb Corair xms3 memory, seagate hard drive, optical drive. Have updated bios to latest version from Asus web page. Mouse works ok in bios pages so believe mouse is ok.

Any ideas please?

I have loaded Ubuntu onto my laptop as dual boot and have setup the displays. I have used it to search the web and copy some files from the Windows partition and everything worked fine. I did not shut down over night and this morning, there is nothing on either screen except my wallpaper and mouse cursor: no lonch pad, no title bar, nothing. I rebooted with the same USB drive into "Try Ubuntu without loading" and everything worked just fine. Then shut down; removed the USB drive; and rebooted using the installed dual boot. Nothing except wallpaper and mouse. This happened once before and I reinstalled.

What am I not doing?

I am brand new to Linux (as of yesterday) and would like to know if there is a fix or do I need a different mouse. If so, any recommendations? Thanks in advance, Alan

Hi,

Xubuntu on an old Mac Mini.
I don't know how to do much so please give basic instructions.

I use my power button to put the computer to sleep. Only the power button wakes it up again. It used to wake if I jiggled my mouse or pressed any key.

Is there something I can do so the mouse or keyboard will wake it up?

Hello everyone, I am a beginner Linux user. I have a had very little experience with it and would very much like to know more. Eventually I want to have my computer running strictly Linux.

I have experimented with a few distributions but almost all of them have had issues with my current setup. I always have trouble setting up the drivers for my video card and mouse. I have dabbled in Ubuntu(primarily), Fedora and Linux Mint.

My question is which distribution would you all suggest I use based upon my specs.

My System Specs:
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 925 @ 2.80 Ghz
RAM: 8 GB of DDR3
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6870 w/ 1GB VRAM
Ethernet: Killer Xeno Pro 2100 & On-Board
Mouse: R.A.T 5

If anything else is needed to help determine the right distro please let me know.

All help is much appreciated.

Hey-yo,
I have problems with my keyboard and mouse sometimes when I turn my laptop on. They're just not working. Somewhere I read that it has to do with a so-called "blind registration" and that I only have to tip in my password. But no matter how many times I do that it doesn't work. I'll always have to turn off my laptop and turn it on again, hoping that it works.
I only have Linux for two months and that's the only problem I got until now. Please help ^-^'
