Hi guys, I just installed lubuntu on my netbook.

I tried to increase the resolution using xrandr with the command

xrandr --fb 1280x720 --output LVDS1 --scale 1.25x1.2.

The problem is, the change is not persistent after the computer reboot.

How do I make it persistent ? I can't find xorg.conf or ~/.xprofile folder either.

You have to make an xorg.conf. If its ATI card, there is a command to generate your xorg.conf based on your current settings. Then you modify that file and its done.

Alternatively, you can use your catalyst or your nvidia control panel (just like windows) to make the changes.

If you are on an intel graphics chip, I'm not sure how to help you. No experience there. Sorry

Too little info to help you, my friend.

-What command?
-What distro?
-What DE/WM?
-Do you launch X via GDM or .xinitrc?

Hmm .. strange.
I thought Crunchbang had the proprietary Broadcom included by default.

Here's one possible solution. Worked for me (my netbook has a BCM4312, iirc) when I used CrunchBang in the past. At the time, I changed all my sources to point to Sid/Unstable, and my wireless broke as a result.

Make sure you're connected to a working internet connection (a wired one, obviously, since wireless doesn't work yet);

What I did was first purge (apt-get remove) firmware-b43-installer and firmware-b43-legacy-installer, then reboot...
Then I installed install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer. (apt-get install). The Lipphy driver will proceed to download some drivers from an external site (broadcom's servers, probably). Then reboot again....
If it works, you should have working wireless after this.

One downside to this;
For some unknown reason, my wireless signal strength in Conky maxed out at 70%, despite my wireless client (I used wicd-curses) telling me it was 100%. ... weird, but it still worked fine.
*
Thanks, I was wondering if there are any way to set up the wireless connections just by tweaking things cause brcm80211 driver already exist.
I read somewhere that the driver works with BCM4313.

Still, thanks for replying. Will try that solution.

*edit : Looks like it doesnt work, it gave a message not supported card here (PCI id 14e4:4727)

Sorry it didn't work out.

Have you checked out the Debian Wiki.
Specifically this: http://wiki.debian.org/wl#Squeeze
That part's for Squeeze, btw (what Crunchbang is based on out of the box) .... you'll need to read up a bit more if you've changed your sources to Wheezy or Sid.

Apparently using modprobe to unload and load back the brcm80211 driver is the solution.

Now wireless is working. biggrin.gif

Hi guys.

I got a little problem with my PSP's memory card.

I tried to open it with Thunar but an error popped out saying

Failed to open directory "disk"
Error stating file '/media/disk/.Trash-1001':Input/Output error.

So I tried ls -al and I got this
CODE

ls: cannot access .Trash-1001: Input/output error
total 324
d?????????  ? ?    ?        ?            ? .Trash-1001


I tried chown and chmod but no success. =/

I can access the folders inside the card (/media/disk/*) others just fine but the error pop out when I'm trying to access /media/disk.

Is there any way to remove/edit that .Trash-1001 ?
