Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
ok with $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --off it works, but how can I make this command permanent?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
aloniv: "It should perhaps default to mirroring both screens instead." It could be that the mirroring is working, but not correctly because the integrated display is a hd screen and the external not. So it's not zoomed in the right way (if I open a window its in the lower right corner, not center). There seems to be no correct seperate recognition of the 2nd screen. What exact terminal-command for which program do I need to simply shut the integrated screen off? (I wanna avoid try and error here..)
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
Magic Banana, you are indeed right. xrandr used to be available as a package, and I erroneously assumed it was replaced by arandr.
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
In order to get xrandr working on a live CD you only need to install the package arandr. Then run it and assuming the internal display is called LVDS1 turn it off using this command: $ xrandr --output LVDS1 --off From there you can disable the laptop's monitor permanently using the desktop environment's graphical settings.

Unless you (the OP) have less than 1 gb of RAM I suggest you install the gnome fallback (the other one) ISO, it's know to be way less buggy.

'bash: xrandr: command not found' what is wrong here..?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
I used 'trisquel-mini_7.0_i686.iso' and I made no changes to standard installation
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
What is your desktop environment? Trisquel Gnome or Trisquel Mini (LXDE)?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
It's a thinkpad w500 with intel gma4500mhd. If I type 'gnome-control-center' in the command line it says 'command not found'. It seems there is no gnome panel..?
Re: [Trisquel-users] Desktop problem - no programs
What is your hardware, make & model and graphics adapter? You may have a driver issue, incorrectly detected display resolution. Or maybe your desktop has failed to launch the Gnome panel. You can open the terminal application. Press Ctrl+Alt+T. System settings can be launched from the command line gnome-control-center Open 'displays' and see what your resolution is. You can try to make it smaller to fit objects inside your screen if that's the problem.
