I can get it to start up again with this (before I learned this I was rebooting all the time):

I have a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition, which is basically a DVI splitter - one graphics card output is split to 3 monitors, and the computer thinks it sees 1 very wide screen. It...

I'll link an old post of mine that might have useful things for you guys (and others finding this thread) to dig through:

It seems like none of this works anymore. I have found at least a dozen pages on how to get an Epson scanner working, and this is by far the most recent (4 months old) and the most targeted to me...

I have an odd setup that has one video card go to a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition, which is essentially a splitter box with 1 DVI-in going to 3 DVI-outs. The practical upshot is the video card...

I've been trying to post images to a vBulletin-powered forum (not ubuntuforums), but am having problems in Firefox on my home Ubuntu box. It's supposed to work that a new window pops up (doesn't -...

Has anyone ever gotten one of these to work on Linux?

It only indicates flavors of Windows, but if it just sends data sort of like a USB...

Thanks, ChrisMoose. I don't immediately know how to do that, but I'm wondering if you can just use the stuff I posted to set the window to double the width of a screen, and move it to the top-left...

I'm on a pretty weird setup. I have 3 identical monitors, and they're all connected to a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition. The Matrox is only connected to one DVI output of my video card. The...

Excellent! I'm glad to hear it, detrate :)

I'm having quite a Friday night here. First, some full disclosure...

I have a Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition which is a splitter box that takes one DVI output from the PC and splits it to 3...

This has actually been happening through the past few versions of these softwares, IIRC. I'm on Ubuntu 8.04 and running Compiz Fusion. Often when I'm in Firefox and switch over to Pidgin, the mouse...

I just made a handy CCSM+Devil's Pie combination that lets me hit Shift+Ctrl+Alt+b to pop up 3 shells with the -t name, naming them shellA, shellB, and shellC. I have a devilspie .ds file that finds...

I've looked through other options, but none does what I need yet. I may have to take you up on your compile trick. Thanks very much for the link.

Does this mean it's a whole-disk encryption scheme? My methods so far revolve around only opening what I'm using at any given time by mounting encrypted TC volumes. Most of my stuff I don't care to...

Thanks, I'll take a look into it. Can I assume it doesn't have a Windows equivalent?

I haven't used TrueCrypt since well before upgrading to Hardy about a month ago, but the new version is a nightmare to me. Everything pops up GUIs now. I know about -t, but even just asking for help...

Sorry - this is a bit of a long read, but if you have multiple monitors spread out side-by-side, with shared resolution (e.g. 0 through n, where n is the right side of the rightmost monitor), then...

That did it, thanks!

I've had some Update Manager update troubles, and I think it's just that I was out of space on my /boot partition. I've managed to get everything in the past 2 days of these errors to install, but...

Confirmed, in Hardy. I've been watching the Phoenix feed from NASA, and all of my imported videos have been playing back at high speed, with no sound in Kino. I found this thread, tried shutting down...

I had to do this in 7.10, but after an upgrade to 8.04, it's no longer a problem with quiet, and splash in there, and it's fun to see the splash screen at last. Just an FYI :)

It might be that your xorg.conf was modified, or replaced, and the resolutions you want aren't listed anymore. Are you not able to change your resolution in the settings to something you want (you...

Thanks, mikeheck. I used the 'padsp ./RainSlickEp1' trick at your link to get it to work. It was dreadfully slow, but at least it got around that error, so it is a solution, and I will mark this...

I just downloaded Episode One of Penny Arcade's new game demo, and when I run it via the script (./RainSlickEp1), it pops up a box that says:
