Re: [Trisquel-users] Monitor resolution (complete beginner)

2011-04-25 Thread genghis 
Update: A bit of experimenting with ubuntu has convinced me that it's  
definitely not just the graphics card - even with the proprietary drivers  
installed in ubuntu 10.10 x64 the native resolution wasn't available, so  
there's an issue with the monitor being recognised correctly. Not sure if  
that's helpful or not.

Re: [Trisquel-users] gtk-recordMyDesktop crashes on launch AttributeError: TrayPopupMenu instance has no attribute 'popupmenu_continueitem' (Solved)

2011-04-25 Thread ariel 
Right after I finished created the issue ticket, I found the following
in another page:

Quoting:

After further investigation, installing python-appindicator is just a
workaround.
rmdTrayPopup.py is missing a check, whether indicator support is enabled
or not.

And

This bug was fixed in the package gtk-recordmydesktop - 0.3.8-3ubuntu2

After reading this I wasn't sure if it was a good idea to bring this
issue to the trsiquel developers, so I decided to close the issue. Hope
it was the right way to go.

 Hello everyone:
 
 It seems that gtk-recordMyDesktop is not working with Trisquel 4.5 Slaine  
 right out of the box. When trying to run it on terminal it gives back the  
 following message:
 
 /usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/recordMyDesktop/rmdMonitor.py:10:

 The solution is to install python-appindicator and I wanted to share it with  
 the forum. I'll see if there isn't any issue ticket about this issue, if  
 there isn't I may create one.

That information is very helpful, thanks. Sadly, there isn't much we can do  
now that we know it isn't a driver issue.

Well, you can try to force the resolution by specifying it in  
/etc/X11/xorg.conf. It is quite some time I have not touched this file (since  
Xorg is now able to correctly auto-configure itself... well, not in your  
case!) but I believe this simple configuration should be OK:

Section Screen
Identifier  Default Screen
Subsection  Display
   Modes1680x1050 1024x768
EndSubSection
EndSection

In the Modes line you can specify, in order of preference, all the  
supported resolutions.


Just, to be clearer (since you insist on your newbiness), you need to open  
your favorite text editor (here 'gedit') on /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the  
administrator rights (hence 'sudo'):

$ sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Since this file probably does not exist, the opened page will be blank and  
you only need to copy-paste the section above and save. If it actually  
exists, edit the Screen section to specify the resolutions as above.


You then need to restart Xorg. Closing the sessions of every graphically  
connected user should do it.
