Why is the disk imager not working? | If the imager can't find the root partition, chances are it is either a bad hard drive (try another drive first) connected improperly, or the little IDE adapter is burned out. They burn out periodically. Check the back of the adapter for burned marks. Ask someone if you are unsure. |
How do I fix the 2-inch border screen resolution problem on SONYs? | $ sudo displayconfig-gtk Once that is open, click where it says "plug and play". A new window will pop up. The left pane should be generic and the right pane should be "LCD Panel 1024x768" then click ok.
Then change the resolution in the remaining window down to 1024x768 and click ok. You will have to log out and back in for the fix to take effect. |
