Aleksandr Levchuk's questions

Is it possible to run Ubuntu in JSLinux ?

Here is today's Slashdot post about JSLinux.

I remember the nice mv somefile ~/.Trash command but that folder does not exist on newer Ubuntus. Does anyone know why?

Running 11.04 beta in a Parallels 5.0 virtual machine, but this question will apply to any virtualization software.

Parallels 5 Linux tools (guest additions) don't work for 10.10 and 11.04 and I don't want them. I like how the VM is integrated as is. The only thing that needs tuning is the screen geometry.

None of the options in the Systems -> Preferences -> Monitors fit my display perfectly. I need it at 1080 x 1920 (9:16) or 1920 x 1080 (16:9).

Many different resolutions work (see screen-shot bellow), among which are:

• 1680 x 1080 (too narrow horizontally and a bit too short vertically)
• 1920 x 1200 (perfect horizontally, but a bit too tall vertically)

How can I adjust the screen resolution (display/monitor size) manually?

What I tried so far

$ cvt 1920 1080

The 2 new resolutions do not show up in the Monitor Preferences GUI:

Trying Takkat's Solution

Here is what I do and get:

$ gtf 1920 1080 60 -x

  # 1920x1080 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 67.08 kHz; pclk: 172.80 MHz

$ sudo xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00"  172.80  1920 2040 2248 2576  1080 1081 1084 1118  -HSync +Vsync

$ sudo xrandr --addmode default 1920x1080_60.00

$ xrandr

   640x480         0.0  
   1920x1080_60.00   60.0  

I also tried gtf 1920 1080 60 -x.

In both cases I can't switch to that resolution and get:

• Could not set configuration for CRTC 262

All the other resolutions work.
