Duall Monitor and Unity

[ronbrijo]

Hi all,

I run a duall monitor setup and use Gnome Classic desktop. I recently wanted to return to Unity. I logged in to unity and find that i cannot stretch my desktop over the two monitors like in Gnome Classic?

When I change the settings in Catylist Control Centre, the only setting that works is, mirror my desktop on both displays? Yet in Gnome I have a desktop area of 3840X1080.

Any ideas?

Thank you

First you will need to install this script. Then open a terminal and type in multi-monitor -s then hit enter.. After successfully installing. Type in multi-monitor -b on and hit enter and all should be golden. You might need to add this one also. I know I did.

Thank you Bnjamin...

Works great!!!

Love to see software I wrote in use and working. Makes it all worth while. Thanks for testing it gentlemen.

I love that version # will eventually bring all tools into a metapackage:

Code: Select all

TheeMahn@JackHammer:~$ repomaster


RepoMaster 1.7.1-5
==================

Usage: repomaster -<-COMMAND> [FOLDER|DEBNAME|DISTNAME|USERNAME@URL/DISTNAME]

   possible commands...      

   -v   --version      dump version info
   -e   --extract      extract debian archive
   -b   --build         builds deb(s)
   -r   --relax         relax permissions
   -c   --clean         removes folder(s)
   -f   --fixit         Attempts to fix error(s)
   -V   --verbose      Reports all errors verbosly and instructs how to fix them.
   -p   --prepare      Prepare good .debs/ for publishing.
   -P   --publish      Publishes them to address specified.
   -s   --service      Installs or removes repomaster as a service
   -h   --help         this help message

   Usage building deb;
   repomaster -b [FOLDERNAME]

   Specifying no folder name will build all folders in current directory.
   prompting first.  All error free debs are copied to a hidden folder
   called .debs/ in the current folder.  The .debs/ folder will be created
   for you.

   Usage Extraction;
   repomaster -e [DEBIANFILENAME]

   Specifying no deb file name will extract all debs in current directory.
   prompting first. 
   
   Usage Relaxsation;
   repomaster -r [FOLDERNAME]

   Will relax the permissions on a given folder allowing you to edit or
   delete files within the folder.  The proper permissions will automatically
   be reset when you goto build.  Not specifying a folder will reset permissions
   on all subfolders.  Please be careful where you execute this tool. It will
   display the folders to be effected and prompt you.

   Usage Clean;
   repomaster -c [FOLDER]

   Will erase specified folder ignoring permissions. Specifying no folder name will erase all
   subfolders in the curent folder. It will display the folders to be effected and prompt you.
   Please use with care.

   Usage Fix;
   repomaster -f [FOLDER]

   Will attempt to fix all errors in the specified folder to be lintian / debian complient.
   Specifying no folder name will process all folders with a [FOLDER].deb.errors.  This will
   take a long time to be fully implemented.

   Usage Verbose;
   repomaster -V [FOLDER]
   Specifying no folder name will build all folders in current directory.
   prompting first.  Verbosly displaying how to fix errors in given deb.
   All error free debs are copied to a hidden folder called .debs/ in
   the current folder.  The .debs/ folder will be created for you.

   Usage Prepare;
   repomaster -p <DISTNAME>
   Prepares known good .debs/ for publishing. Builds the directory structure in a folder
   called <DISTNAME>. Repomaster then GPG key signs the debs as well as the release key
   for distribution. This command switch also auto generates packages.gz for repository
   management. Knowledge of how a repository works is highly recommended when using
   this command switch.

   Usage Publish;
   repomaster -P <USERNAME@URL/DISTNAME>

   Will scan good debs from .debs/ folder automatically creating structure for repository
   management and rsync the files to address ie repomaster -P USER@http://themelinux.com/themes/ themes
   it will prompt for the password for your server.

   Usage Service;
   repomaster -S ADD

   Installs or removes based on second option to set repomaster as a service.
   This feature is currently not implemented, however when complete will install repomaster
   as a service. Once set as a service repomaster will monitor  any package being installed
   and scan for errors and warnings optionally fixing them via end users discretion.
   This powerful feature will allow the end user to make the decision if or not errors and warnings
   enter their system prior to the package even being installed.
   Similar to what anti-virus software does.

   Usage Scan;
   repomaster -s

   Version scans all debs to be processed. This should be the first step you take when
   dealing with large amounts of debs. When processing a single deb this switch is useless.
   There is no sense in building 2 seperate versions of debs. On the large scale this is
   not a required , but recommended base of first action.

   Useage Help;
   repomaster -h

   Displays this message. For futher information please refer to the manpages. 

   man repomaster
   

Example: repomaster -b ultamatix-1.9.1_all
Will build ultamatix-1.9.1_all.deb

Ppl typically get a woody when they see my system sporting compiz on dual monitors. Those that do not run nix, ask can you make my computer do that? Do not feel bad about having windows. I have windows installed on my computer. I was recently plauged by a black screen of death. Yes, Linux does have one. Immenent hardware failure. Was going to use windows to flash my BIOS, completely unecessary clogged fan on my vid card. Goliath cleaned it and fixed it while I was at work. I have a aftermarket GPU cooler, he unseated it cleaned it and applied artic silver. Amazing how computer savvy that man is now. A guy that did not want anything to do with computers a year or so back. I do want to put it out there he has the most tempermental mainboard I have ever seen. When it works do not touch it. He is most likely going to send it back, 0 reviews on newegg when he bought it. Perhaps now revised.

I am currently living with him in his mancave, the ol lady is now on 2nd unable to take me to work, was once again in my best intrest to move in with him. He is my Landlord now. Yes, I pay him rent He is getting the big bonus education. I have been teaching him programming. Look for work from him in the future.

Hi TheeMahn,

Gotta say thanx... Really awesome distro, Getting more and more of my friends to join...Also thanx for all the little scripts and fixes...

Yes I am green with envy!!! But at the same time grateful.

Oh, thanx. I love the hardware side of PC's more than the software side and would rather build a pc than code. Windows for me is a necessity for gaming... Just as much as i'd love to give it the boot, I still need it. I did not know that the black screen of death meant that? Cool another new thing about Linux. I recently also experienced it. I needed to fit a new HDD on the weekend, and stripped my PC to find a cable was obstructing the fan on my graphics card... A near-miss... Phew...

As Im typing this I am also mailing a buddy the link... Yes he too has a dual monitor with Ultimate....

Anyways... Keep up the good work!!

#============================================================================
# Changelog:
# 1.0 - initial public release
# 1.1 - internal release
# 1.2 - internal release
# 1.3 - internal release
# 1.4 - Added distro detection, added resolution detection to set fonts and sizes.
# 1.05- Added version compliance for deb based releases
#       Added better networking detection / wireless support.
#       Added memory output to compare against pae based kernels.
#       Added 800 X 600 support, how did I miss this res?
#       Added initial support for Ultimate Player (dynamically)
#       Added support for all network interface detection / Active.
#   Never have I seen this implementation, I try to think outside of
#   the box please report issues.
#       Added support for Ultimate Edition 2.6.4 and 3.1 detection
#       Added dynamic Wireless support.
#   Added CPU Temp / Fan speeds also dynamic.
# 1.06- Added Radio tray to the mix
#   Initiated the anti-cron job mode of thinking, execi can be executed
#   w/o the need for a cron job.  Let's base this on the end users CPU.
#   Added no inet means do not propigate - includes wireless.
#   The same across the board when I am done and hopefully will not
#   require a cron job.
# 1.07   Initiated realtime information, across issues I have set forth.
#   Set CPU Temp to display info realtime based on end users processor. A
#   single core cpu will not be updated as fast as a quad for example
#   please see timeslices in my code.
#   Set fan speed accordingly as above.
# 1.08   Split the conky builder for Ultimate Player info
#   May integrate the info as a funtion later.
#   Added progress bar for current playing track.
#   All info for Ultimate Player is now realtime.
# 1.09   First inital deb

# 1.10   Internal release for Ultimate Edition 3.01

#   Fixed improper spacing when closing Ultimate Player.

# 1.11  Fixed improper cpu detection on some Intel based processors.
#
#      Began writing weather location / detection via users IP address."
#   the above will be a faily difficult procedure... A querry to a API driven
#      Geo-positioning map to obtain location based on zip code, once obtained
#      a querry to another API   driven site noaa.gov.  Will require no user
#      interaction.

# 1.12   Added support for 12.04 precise (Ultimate Edition 3.4 & 3.5) based releases.

# 1.13   Corrected colors to be only 1 color for now, easier reading on most wallpapers.
#   Will eventually write it to detect theme and set colors appropriately.

# 1.14   Added GPU and Mainboard temp detection routines.
#   Added initial dual monitor detection / setup routine.
#   Added ppp0 network detection to the mix, thanks Seedo Eldho Paul
#   Added Harddisk tempreture detection, this was a rough one to sift
#   though so much information to obtain and match with the drives.

if your hard disk tempretures do not show up:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install hddtemp
sudo dpkg-reconfigure hddtemp

answer yes to all or as default just hit enter until it goes away.

As far as NAS drives, will rework the cifs to also detect NFS. I do intend to buy multiple NAS adapters and eventually detect them all. We will be a onestop place for any NAS drive. Now if I could only get Seagate and every other vendor to send me one of every NAS drive they make. I will call it for testing my code of nasup The overtime will pay for them otherwise. One day off how does one spend thier day? I should be glad I am not doing 7 days a week anymore, knock on wood.

Nasup is not done, the code it will inject to the NAS drive is unseen to the public as of current. Once that code hits the drive it is straight NASty I can plug my nas drive into the network with a bluray player attached and watch 1000 different movies simotaniously snatching torrents as I do so among other things. Let it do my work for me
