[Bug 48777] Re: [Bug 48777] Re: No GUI way to change screen resolution in Kubuntu
I couldn't even GET TO the Kicker menu since the screen was cut in half horizontally--the Kicker was GONE, and all I had was a right click menu and that was it. I was seeing double horizontally with the top of the screen in duplicate. One thing that was suggested to me after I reinstalled it was that I could have created another account through the terminal, and as a NEW USER with a new login and password, I might have gotten the menus back and my control over them. But, anyway, that installation is history, and I learned to be much more careful if I try and mess with changing the resolution in KDE Kubuntu in the GUI.

[Bug 48777] Re: [Bug 48777] Re: No GUI way to change screen resolution in Kubuntu
If you are having trouble with the GUI--if it is gone screwy on you--one way that may help is if you create a different user. My boyfriend had the GUI go bonkers on him in Mandrake and he simply created a new user ID and it fixed it. Then he deleted the old user name. If you do that though, make sure to take all your data off the old user account before you try it. I have a number of external USB drives and devices and it was easy to get the data off of it recently when my home partition was way too full. Some people have told me that if settings are made in the GUI, they may tend to persist. For that reason many prefer the command line for some adjustments. I also noticed that when I was configuring the screen resolution, it asked me if I wanted to use the gnome screen tool or the KDE tool. I installed both Ubuntu and Kubuntu so that I had the option of using the KDE window manager. I installed UBUNTU first, so when I set up KDE, I used what I thought was the Gnome tool for consistency. On one install I switched it for KDE after installing Kubuntu and I had bad results. I wish I could remember the exact name of that, but I installed Ubuntu first and since that was Gnome, that was the one I chose initially. The first time I ran into trouble, I just reinstalled everything since I had no data--that fixed it. BTW, maybe it would help to install Easy Ubuntu? That tool has drivers in it for Nvidia and ATI video cards. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/get.html Abha On 9/19/06, Redge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have have trouble getting KDE to accept the changes I'm trying to make > to the screen and driver settings.

[Bug 48777] Re: No GUI way to change screen resolution in Kubuntu
I installed Ubuntu and then I installed the KDE desktop afterwards through the command line using aptitude. I set the Gnome desktop at 1024X768 at 60hertz. That was fine. When I went into the KDE session. the resolution was so high it was like looking at the screen from outer space. My monitor is a Viewsonic GS815--vid card is an Nvidia TNT2 16mgs. [450mhz PII, 256mgs Ram, 9GB hard drive--an older Compaq AP200 workstation]. I tried to reset it in KDE to the same resolution as I had in Gnome through the GUI, and it split the screen in half horizontally. I can't get to the kicker menu at ALL, and I don't know how I am going to bail myself out of this. Maybe I could uninstall KDE--it is that bad. I am not sure how to do that though. Gnome is fine...KDE is a mess. I wish I had had a warning about this. I wish I could right click and get to the display resolution that way to reset it. KDE is broken now. -- No GUI way to change screen resolution in Kubuntu https://launchpad.net/bugs/48777 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 696064] [NEW] No way to reset browser defaults from inside firefox.
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: firefox-3.5 This is a bug in firefox. I went fullscreen and now I can't get my minimize maximize buttons back. I also cannot see my gnome panel bars above and below the browser window without resetting the browser to its defaults. There is no way to reset firefox from the settings in the browser itself--this is really really annoying. It is also nasty to not have access to the minimize and maximize buttons. This is a pain in the ass.
