[Bug 200868] Re: nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf
I should elaborate on how to save root Nvidia settings; After choosing the proper resolution, choose "Apply" "OK", "Save to X Configuration File" This should set the proper settings for the root. (Even though you are probably the primary user and operating under the first username you set up, you are not 'root' which is accessed through terminal using 'sudo' for Ubuntu though it is different for other distributions. Check their forums for details). -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 200868] Re: nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf
The simple solution is that there are two places in which settings must be changed. The first is in Nvidia settings as root user - run: sudo nvidia-settings from terminal. Second, change the resolution settings under System-Preferences-Screen Resolution You may need to reboot between steps. That second step is so basic it is often overlooked. No cutting and pasting xorg.conf, no dangerous dabbling in forbidden zones. Also, if Nvidia isn't activated, do that under System-Administration- Hardware Drivers -- nvidia-settings doesn't have permissions to write xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200868 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 106060] Re: Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze. It is completely unresponsive.
I found the solution to the Molecule screensaver freeze problem! 1. go into the Terminal application (under Accessories) 2. enter: gedit .gconf/apps/gnome-screensaver/%gconf.xml 3. in the box that pops up you'll see: screensavers-molecule 4. change "molecule" to one of the working screensavers, such as: screensavers-sonar 5. restart The message from Xan 2007-12-03 up above suggests a way to remove molecule, but I haven't tried it. Good luck! -- Selecting the Molecule screensaver makes the PC freeze.
