After the upgrade to 12.04, it doesn't find drivers for my Radeon 2100 in the "Additional Drivers" window. I can't remember having problems with this before. Moving windows etc is very slow, and I suspect this is because of the missing driver.
Is there an easy way to install the driver for Radeon 2100 on Ubuntu 12.04?
$ lspci -nn | grep VGA
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon 2100 [1002:796e]
Upgraded from 10.x or 11.x and I'm having lots of problems.
All icons in the dock are gone, as well as most other icons:
No icons, applications can't be focused, no window chrome (title bar etc):
Additionally, the mouse pointer isn't moving. It works fine under Win XP.
Is there a way to repair Ubuntu? And keep all application settings etc?
I got this after upgrading to 11.04 with some issues. It must be tty7, since Ctrl+Alt+7 does nothing. I can change to tty[0-6] to make the screen look normal, and changing back makes the screen black.
What is happening here? It's like it thinks I have X installed.
Thanks.
I realize that there are a lot of information on here/Google about this, but I think my problem is different.
I upgraded 9.10 -> 10.04 -> 10.10 -> 11.04. 11.04 failed and I was stuck at the grub prompt. As you can see in the photo, I'm having a hard time loading anything from the disk.
I have three disks, /dev/sdc being the OS disk on which I have Ubuntu Server. This is a pure Ubuntu box.
Please help :'(
Before I installed Ubuntu on my old computer, I took backups of both partitions with dd. Long story short: I now want to restore these two files, XP.dd and Storage.dd, to the computer again. How do I do this?
Thanks!
This question is related: NTFS backup image wont mount
I made an image of my NTFS partition before I formatted, but now it won't mount. I'm pretty sure I've mounted this image before.
root@z:/var/backup# mkdir Storage-disk
root@z:/var/backup# mount Storage-disk.img Storage-disk
ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error
Failed to read vcn 0x2: Input/output error
Failed to mount '/var/backup/Storage-disk.img': Input/output error
NTFS is either inconsistent, or there is a hardware fault, or it's a
SoftRAID/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows
then reboot into Windows twice. The usage of the /f parameter is very
important! If the device is a SoftRAID/FakeRAID then first activate
it and mount a different device under the /dev/mapper/ directory, (e.g.
/dev/mapper/nvidia_eahaabcc1). Please see the 'dmraid' documentation
for more details.
I've tried running ntfsfix on the image, but no dice.
root@z:/var/backup# ntfsfix Storage-disk.img

NTFS is inconsistent. Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE!
The usage of the /f parameter is very IMPORTANT! No modification was
made to NTFS by this software.
Mount failed.
How do I run chkdsk /f on an image? Do I have to create a partition and write the image on it? How do I do that?
I am trying to make gnome-mplayer play a video in fullscreen on my second screen. I am using a Nvidia card with xineramascreen. Below is my ~/.mplayer/config file.
[default]
xineramascreen=1
[gnome-mplayer]
ao=alsa:device=hw=1.0
msglevel=all=5
alang=English,eng,en
slang=English,eng,en
xineramascreen=1
The options have no affect, it plays on my primary screen as usual.
Running mplayer -xineramascreen 1 works perfectly, I just want gnome-mplayer to work since it's nicer to use with GUI and Nautilus integration etc.
