Chapchap interesting lik http://jonblack.org/2013/06/02/the-state-of-linux-dual-monitor-support/ Has anyone tried either the KDE Trinity (not much point in trying XFCE since it relies on xrandr and my xrandr reports trash. Having taken 10 weeks to get a xampp server running, WINE and other essential...

Hi, you said a couple of reasons! I can only think of 1, maybe a teacher with a desktop screen and the second head supplies an OHP. I read this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=963878 And I am pretty much convinced that it cannot be done, which is a shame since it is perhaps the most of...

hi Well I got the virtual line back in (after making sure that both monitors were set to the same resolution) And I have twin identical screens. So I am not sure what all the hype was for!,, surely I am missing something, why would anyone want 2 screens displaying the same thing? I am obviously mist...

hi, is there any update to this. I have only got as far as having 2 monitors displaying identical images. I wanted to have them displaying separate work spaces or similar. I managed to trash my system earlier but managed to rebuild the X11 directory by booting to a Puppy Cd and then copying across t...

Hi, sorry for delay, got tied up on phone. went back to th other post on page 3 and read, re-read, and re-read again. Found a couple of extremely subtle things which were different, so I changed them. Hey it working.. I changed colour depth to 16 from 24. And I commented out the line Option "Di...

by the way, I have 14 different Xorg.conf bak type files all ending with assorted extensions, obviously only the one real Xorg.conf..

Would it be wise to remove those and just leave the Xorg.conf only, and do you want to see a copy of it now (with your suggestions added in)

Hi Thanks for the help.. But its not good news

I changed those lines as you suggested and added the other.

It remains the same.

I am using Radeon R9800 pro dual head VGA is connected to LG monitor 390 x 330 DVI is connected via adaptor to Viewsonic 300x230 I have followed god knows how many threads over the last 2 days and I am here.

Hi Mike Bah,,, almost given up... I remember the Lamp install as it went then was tiresome,, continued failures.. I abandoned and did a Xampp package,, and again after many failures, someone gave me a heads up on a Chown line was needed just before the unpack process. Then Xampp went in ok... Now Ca...

Hi Mike. Well I am pretty much done with Cacti, Xampp and Linux overall. This is week seven and still problems. What I thought worked ok last night, turned out to be a fluke.. Once out of the machine, I then experienced problems getting back in to cacti. I have removed the user from phpMyAdmin half ...

hi, yes finally I found a thread that said exactly that.

So about 2 hours ago I got it to work.

But really dont understand your last comment!

still no luck installing cacti I have followed youtube videos and various instruction sets. I have fully functioning XAMPP. http://localhost/cacti says Object not found! The requested url was not found on the server So I have tried the unpack tar method and also a puppy package install ( that was pr...

OK, So ntop 3.3 worked out the bag ( so long as every trace of every other aborted ntop install was removed) Is there a way to upgrade Ntop from within a working shell without having to download a 5.01 tar. Or is there a specific guide for the install of V5,xx, , I havent yet come across a guide tha...

Hi. No it just simply wont unpack anymore beyond that same point. Yesterday after your advice, it silently unpacked all the way. Oddly, you mentioned mysql, well that was the only 1 of the 3 packages that said it was ok and running. The SSD is probably in a mess from failed installs.. I managed to i...

oh. Didnt make any further progress, only backwards so searched any removed all words and directories apache. Trying re-install Xampp again.. But now worse than berfore, unable to unpack using tar -zxf xxx.tar.gz Stopping again at: PostPosted: Yesterday, at 07:40 Post subject: can you post clearer i...

Troll, go and annoy someone else!

Sorry it wasnt working fine at all.. I simply saw icons added to the menu screen and satisfied with progress I went to bed. Now I am testing and well you guessed it. So before installing cacti, I thought I would study up a bit on starting Xampp. and it says: oh and by the way, contrary to instructio...

You are my hero.

Dont know why the x makes such a difference, maybe a quick explanation!

But its working fine.


Thanks

Simon

So thrilled, now I just have to remove 1GB of aborted installation files.

can you post clearer instructions please. (lucid 5.28) 4 weeks, day after day trying to install the 4 lamp packages to Puppy Lucid 5.28. And still no joy. Following your instructions, I download the tar to /home/mnt. type tar -xzwf xampp-linux-1.8.0.tar.gz around 50 lines or more of positive unpacki...
