CentOS 5 :: Applications Automatically Pop Up After System Crash?
Nov 11, 2010
I recently had to power off my Centos 5.5 box (ungraceful shutdown). When it came back up, three apps popped up: "Welcome to the Gnome Help Browser" (which is Yelp). In another desktop, Konqueror is waiting for a login. This happens every time I restart my system. I haven't been able to figure out how to stop this. Every time I've shut down my system since I had to bring it down hard, it's been gracefully and neither of those apps was running.
I have some trouble with my hp workstation xw4400 with an ATI FireGL 3300 and the X-Server. There was no problem with the graphical install routine and the graphical boot works fine. But when the system changes into the login-screen, then it results in a black screen and a more or less frozen system.
Sorry if this is in the wrong group but its a bit of an odd one but I think comes under Server Support.. I've set up both x11vnc and freenx in an attempt to eliminate either as a cause for this issue. The problem is that when I log in with either, I can get into the desktop and run things from the menus but when I make the System menu active - the session hangs and you have to killall for the freenx or vnc processes.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me investigate this and hopefully fix it as I'm not sure where to look given that both types of remote connection seem to have the same issue.
I'm using x86_64 CentOS 5.4. There are some 32bit applications on my system. Does these applications work on 64bit platform. If not, how can I remove these applications without harming my system.
I have a very weird printing problem, and don't really know where to look at to solve it.For some apps,printing works great (openoffice, acroread, kpdf, kghostview, Kolourpaint). For some others, the app just freezes when I click on "print" (gimp, firefox, "document reader", "image reader"). Maybe this is not the correct forum to ask this question, but I don't really see which one would be the best.
Applications will minimize automatically. when i select them they will maximize then immidiatly minimize. i just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my netbook everything worked great then i ran the update manager it restarted. after that i cannont keep any apps open. ubuntu 10.04 on acer aspire one netbook. clean install. ubuntu only.
i m using ubuntu 10.04 Lucidi m reposting this thread.few days back when i setup evolution client i m facing this problem since then.when i open my system i always find three applications opening automatically.1. Evolution2. A open office Word Processor (untitled3. Documents folder window.
I use release 11.2 and this one works very well. I try new release 11.3 and my system crash when I wont to start system on runlevel 5. There is Sempron 2 GHz CPU and nvidia fx550 graphics card. Keyboard PS2 does not responds but mouse on USB work well. When I start "safe" boot option system work well. What I can to do ? What I must change
We are having a Linux box with Tcpdump continuously running on it to monitor bunch of sources. Separate Tcpdump process runs in a background for each host for monitoring traffic. I use -w option with it to save the capture in the pcap format to analyze it later. Now what I need is, if the Linux machine gets rebooted amidst of its packet capturing activity, I want tcpdump to automatically start the process again for every host without overwriting previous captures.
Remember: Without overwriting previous captures . . . Basically, I will be keeping all the tcpdump commands in the shell script and will load the script at startup during the linux boot. Is there any way to achieve this case, where by on rebooting, Tcpdump does not overwrite previous captures?
I would like that the windows I am working on are reopened automatically at login, so I checked
System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications -> Options Tab -> Check Automatically remember running applications when logging out.
It works but, unfortunately, sometimes windows are reopened in different workspaces. I have six workspaces and I usually keep a lot of windows opened, so rearranging them takes long.
Is there a way to ensure that windows are reopened in the same workspace?
I've been Googling all day and cannot find the answer. I find all the "GUI" ways to do it through Gnome and KDE but I'm not using either...I have an EEE PC set to boot up automatically to openbox and want Firefox to start after that in a full screen openbox window.I've tried adding the firefox command to ~/.initrc but it won't execute. I tried the command in .profile. This brings up firefox on a black screen without openbox.Firefox comes up fine when executed from the openbox menu.
I came home from my walk and my monitor was black, no activity when hitting keyboard or mouse. Shut down machine and then waited for reboot, it sticks to the same moment as picture posted. I tried dif boot seq in the selection but no luck. I cant find my boot disc.
After a system crash while watching a video with vlc and downloading somthing, i can't reboot my system.In the secure mode i get this informations[4.774621] device-mapper: dm-rai45: installized v0.2594b[ 1166.832045] ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt recived, switching to interrupt modeNow the scree is black (20 minnutes later
I want to get the count of host reboot and host crash per day.Host reboot - i use last command and make sure the count.How to catch the System Crash ?.
"system crash" means that:(1)I can ping it , but can not connect to it (via ssh or http or anything else)(2)the major role of that machine is to run a web application written in java, every 3 weeks(almost that), the users inform us and say they can log in that web application , and we find the situation just like (1) says.When this happen , we can only restart the machine by pushing the power button.(It's sad !)I've try to read all the log files located in /var/log but find nothing interesting.
after a system crash (no response, i had to press the power button) evolution invokes the configuration wizard every time it starts, but i beleive all files are in place (~.evolution/mail/local and ~.gconf/apps/evolution). what can i do to repair the config? will i destroy anything when i setup my accounts again? when i re-setup my mail accounts, will evolution reuse the folders and show my old mails again, or will they be erased?
if my PC lags a bit it crashes!But I wouldn't think it would be an ordinary crash.Earlier today I installed Xubuntu 10.04onto my PC. Well, The installation was smooth and I was able to get it installed. Then all of a sudden when I was looking aroundmy PC got caught in a little lag.. And when it lagged this black screen came up and it said
"Starting Common Unix System; cupsd [ OK ] " "Checking Battery State [ OK ] "
Then That screen disappears and these Straight gray bars come up and they cover the top of my screenAnd they just blink! I figured it might be a glitch so I went to go eat dinner.About 20-30 minutes later I come back and there still blinking.I tryed rebooting the system and trying again and it got cought in a little lag and the
"Starting Common Unix System; cupsd [ OK ] " "Checking Battery State [ OK ] "
Came back up and it disappeared again and the bars came back!I tried reinstalling Xubuntu 10.04 but it came out the same result.I tried updating the system cause when I installed it it said I had 164 updates waiting.

When running Matlab (7.10.0.499 (R2010a), 64-bit (glnxa64)) on CentOS 5.4 using vnc, the Xvnc chrashes and this is logged in syslog:

CentOS is up to date as of beginning this week. Doing a quick net check suggests HW-problem ( HP DL380 G6), but I've tested both memory and cpu(s) without errors. We also had the same problem on Scientific Linux 5.4.
I was browsing the internet, and while i was loading website, my system hangs. I then goto messages in /var/logs, i get the following messages. What does it mean? This hang occurs once in a while,Also is there a function that could break this hangs by cancel the process (firefox) like Windows "Ctrl-Alt-Del"?

Today, I started having a problem with the "System Settings" audio option. Basically, when I go to Personal Settings -->Multimedia I get a crash.This also means that I am not getting sound correctly.
I recently decided to partition my laptop wholly to ubuntu, so i installed ubuntu without any problem, then i logged on for the first time and i installed the driver to my monitor (nvidia) and i did sudo apt-get update which made me get all sorts of updates, untill the updating stopped at about halfway asking me to reboot the system.
I rebooted the system, but no matter what i do, if i run it in recovery mode or not, i always get stuck on this piece of code on a black screen:
Code: fsck from util-linux-ng 2.16 /dev/sda1: clean, 148123/18841600 files, 1880615/75358899 blocks init: udevtrigger main process (540) terminated with status 1 init: udevtrigger post-stop process (541) terminated with status 1 init: udevmonitor main process (539) killed by TERM signal init: networking main process (544) terminated with status 1
Also, please no answers like "hav u tried liek reinstalling ubuntu lolz?" because i wouldn't bother posting this thread if i considered doing that -_-'
It seems that watching an embedded video crashes my system every once in a while. Is there any way to figure out what is causing the crashes or fix it?
Some extra info - The cpu usage jumps to 45-50 percent when a embedded video is playing.
I seem to be having a problem on the new Kernel (2.6.35-23) with the system randomly freezing.
I have installed a number of things in recent days leading up to this problem, but when i boot with the old kernel i don't seem to have any issues. From this i am guessing its the new kernel.
The freezing seems (although i am not sure) to be worse when Rhythmbox is running. When it happens everything freezes, the playing song skips, replaying the same one second of music over and over. All the hotkeys stop and the mouse cursor stops responding.
I have seen people talking about system logs to look at system crashes but i don't know how to show those. I also doubt my ability to interpret them.
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 (amd64) on an Intel Atom 525 motherboard. I have a 5-bay SATA enclosure connected to my system through a Syba SD-SATA2-2E2I PCI card (uses the SIL3124 chipset). Under small to moderate load (transfer speed: ~25 Mb/sec), this setup works perfectly. Under heavy load (transfer speed: ~40 - 70 Mb/sec), the system crashes. By crash I mean I loose SSH connectivity, I can't ping the system, etc. The only solution is a hard reset. Initially, I thought this was a SAMBA problem so I logged into the system and tried doing a copy directly from the SATA enclosure to the system disk (connected directly to the motherboard). After 100 GB copied (at ~75 Mb/sec), the system crashed. My question: I am fairly new to Linux and Ubuntu. How would I go about diagnosing this problem?
After my computer crashed due to an electrical failure in the house, every time I try to boot up (I'm using Ubuntu 10.04) I get the following error:
mount: mounting /proc on /root/proc/ failed: No such file or directory Target filesystem doesn't have requested /sbin/init. No init found. Try passing init= bootarg.
I'm then put into initramfs
I assume that this is because the system wasn't unmounted properly but I haven't been able to find the best way to solve this problem.
Occasionally, kwin will crash and recover itself, but afterwards, my system starts using GTK notifications (yellow popup bubbles with the pie graph countdown timer). I've tried restarting knotify4 to no avail.
i have a problem with adobe flash player. when i watch videos or blip.tv or other video streaming sites, my computer crashes randomly during the video. it stops responding, i can't use keyboard and mouse. the only way to recover is a hard reset.it happens in ff, opera, chromium and chrome. i had this problem on flash player 10 and on 11-beta i have it too.i running ubuntu 11.04 natty 64-bit. kernel: 2.6.38-11-generic. gnome 2.32.1. with unity.
short config of my pc: cpu: amd athlon x2 64bit dualcore mobo: asus m2n68 (+newset bios there is)
I am using CentOS5.2 and gnome 2.16, sometimes (not very often) when I open something and close it by clicking the CROSS on the top-right corner. The application crash and I lose all control (no keyboard anymore), I have to reboot the system by reset the machine. What's going on?
Yesterday, when I logon as root and run service setup, after I uncheck a sevice in the list and then start it, I click the CROSS on the top-right corner of the window, it popup a window (in the background) to ask me to save it or not, but then I total lose the control, no mouse, no keyboard. I try to reset the machine many times, but everytime when I repeat the same operation, it crash again. Seems that if I don't close it, everything would be fine!!!!
when open an pdf and close the tab/windows at firefox I get the error at syslog: kernel: npviewer.bin[21396]: segfault at 0000001000000000 rip 00000030abe2646c rsp 00007fffb0978ca0 error 4
