CentOS 5 :: Xwindows Can Not Start / Solution For This?
Nov 21, 2010
There is something wrong with the Xwindows start of my centos5.4 ( 2.6.18-164.el5 X86_64). After several times to try to start the Xwindows, there is a warning message as following:
gdm[5917]: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.
After upgrading Centos 5.4 cluster nodes to 5.5 all virtual services failed to start. All virtual services are marked as 'failed'. The reason: new /usr/share/cluster/vm.sh requires 'which', but this is not reflected in rgmanager-2.0.52-6.el5.centos.
Solution: run 'yum -y install which' on all nodes, and reboot cluster. Hope that will save somebody hours of downtime.
I have system problem about my Ubuntu 10.04 system. after I boot my Ubuntu, The login box is missing from gnome screen. I could not login my graphic system. I can use the command line by ctrl+alt+f1. I used sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start try to restart the xwindows the output isgdm already started I try to
stop gdm start gdm
then the xwindows restarted, but still missing the login box I also try to use
dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
reconfigure the server, but unfortunately there is no change after I restart the genome, I could still not see the login box I am confirm that there are additional spaces on my laptop. I can also enter the graphic system on safe mode by startx command.
Sometimes I use vnc server and start desktop. The memory use rises about 2gb during this. I need to be able to turn off the xwindows after I shutdown vnc without rebooting. Is there a way to do this?. And I don't need to know how to disable at boot thats not what I need to do.
I just got a new graphics card. I got an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS and its working great. Videos are a lot smoother and my overall experience is much better. I figured that I'd test my card to see if it can handle some gaming.
I installed Nexuiz but it wouldn't start. The screen would just flicker. I decided to see what pops up in the terminal and the error message that most pops up is: "Couldn't find matching GLX visual." Here is the full output. code...
Just done a fresh install of squeeze (basic install then installed X, WM and a few applications) and I find that I am unable to get an xterm up and running (same goes for rxvt-unicode (urxvt) and uxterm). The same problem occurs with both Openbox and DWM window managers.
I download the xxxx.tar.bz2 file extracted it, when i run ./configure under the directory i get the following error code...
i even followed the link http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit also http://forum.winehq.org/viewtopic.php?p=28622&sid=17383eb0b922b2c230238f9ab50b265a. and several googling. i think the architect of the OS and the wine is not matching. So guide me to solve the above problem.
Ive installed X Window System and GNOME Desktop Environment on my server. I am running CentOS 5.3 btw. Ive installed and tried running it but i get error no display specified. GRRRR. I cant seem to find the file where i can specify a display. Im trying to setup a gui so i access my server via vnc cause im kinda a linux noob.
I'm trying to install the GD library from the Add/remove software app, but it will not install because it says that it can't resolve a dependency "PHP-common", however, this IS installed, yet it keeps giving me this error. Is there a work around to this or a way to fix the dependencies problem?
I want to migrate my Debian server to CenOS. The Debian server has the following partition layout code...
When I try to map Logical Volume 'home' to '/home' en choose the 'Leave unchanged (preserve data)' option I get the following error:
The current requested size ( 947904.00 MB) is larger than maximum logical volume size ( 262144.00 MB). To increase this limit you can create more Physical Volumes from unpartitioned disk space and add them to this Volume Group.
I recently updated CentOS and PHP from 5.2 to 5.3. I ran into this issue though code...
I attempted to re-install memcached and got memcache.so moved to the appropriate module folder and updated php.ini. I am not sure if the updates removed other dependencies or if this is related to my CentOS update.

When I am in run level 5, I attempt to delete some 'trash' that has accumulated in the 'Trash' icon on my Desktop/.
When I right click the icon and select the 'empty trash' option, I get a permissions error so I just press the 'cancel' option however the contents of the 'Trash' have been purged anyways. It is working basically but I don't understand why I am getting a permissions error.

I am newbie to centos. I am trying to install virtual server in my machine. I have installed the Xen virtual machine monitor which comes with CentOS through add/remove software. Here is the problem, I am unable to open connection with Xen hypervisor. Here is the error i am facing:
Unable to open a connection to the Xen hypervisor/daemon. code...
Let me start off with the usual: I'm a linux newbie but am doing pretty good so far with google by my side. I've come across a problem I cant seem to find an answer to:
I just got a CyberPower 685 AVR UPS. I Installed their power panel software and it works great in CentOS 5.4. When I reboot, the system hangs right after the "Red Hat Nash 5.6..... Starting" message. I've left it for 20 mins so far and it's still hanging. If I unplug the USB data/shutdown cable, within about 10 seconds it starts detecting hard drives and continues booting...
Ive even returned the UPS for another to see if it was bad, and it still is giving me problems.
I'm experiencing some rather severe problems after updating my Centos 5.4 system (Virtual Xen guest). What happens is that when the system boots it complains about missing .so files which prevents about 50% of the services installed from running. I'm suspecting that it has something to do with selinux for two reasons: 1. The first services to go down complains about the security context of some files, and 2. selinux was kinda the reason I decided to update in the first place as it was disabled when it shouldn't be (enabled in system-config-securitylevel, disabled when running sestatus). The whole boot-sequence ends with alot of "INIT: Id 'X' respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes"-messages (including all runlevels) before it goes stale, and I can do nothing. The server in question had undergone very little tinkering from my part, pretty much none at all, the only services installed after installation was apache, mysql and webmin.
Details: CentOS 5.4 is installed on both the host and guest. The guest runs on an lvm-partition. I have two other vm's(also CentOS) running just fine, altough I'm a bit weary of updating them .
Attached are some screenshots of the boot-process.
I hope some one here can share some insight on this problem. It's making me pretty nervous seeing that our whole network is run by CentOS-installations (not that I'm certain that CentOS is the culprit).
I am running matlab 2010b on centOS5.6. Matlab opened without any error either in the computer terminal or in VNCSERVER. While running bench (of matlab) the session or the vncserver are crashing. In some cases the bench run for the first time without any problems, however it will crash the session or the vncserver on the 2-3 runs of the same code. Any idea how to solve this issue?
I am accessing the SUN server from my linux box through the command ssh -X username@computer_id through i could run the programs I am enable to get xwindow applications.
I'm configuring a new Centos 5.5 server in replacement of an old W2K server.The topology of our network is simple : one file/dhcp/dns relay server and workstations (PC's and some MAC's) plus network printers and scanners.All the workstations have dynamic IP addresses (easier because a lot of 'dynamic' changes : new persons with their own laptop, ...) and the server and printers/scanners have fixed IP addresses.I edited the dhcpd.conf (see here underneath), I have the file dhcpd.leases but it doesn't start !
after playing games using WINE, I noticed that the system went Black screen of death.
I had to hard boot the system and now system is hanging. However, I can ssh into the system from another machine so I know only X windows hung.
I can log in using NX client without any issue, but can not log in from the console.
This is the entry from .xsession-errors: GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-4P86Nb/socket SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-4P86Nb/socket.ssh Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/stranger/.config
I downloaded the demo for RHEL Server 6. I'd like to get Xwindows going, but have been thwarted thus far. edit /etc/inittab file and change the value from 3 to 5. That didnt' work. There's an X11 directory with a file called 'prefdm' that has a bunch of code in it that I have no idea what it means. how to get X windows to start?
Sorry about the newbie question(I haven't used UNIX since college) I've just been given control of a new CentOS server which is running in another country. I can connect via Putty from my windows desktop but how do I connect to it via a GUI (X, gnome, KDE???). what do I need to setup on the server and 2. what (pref. free) software do I need on my windows PC? (I take it putty won't support a GUI)
