I have just installed Debian Sqeeze with xfce4 desktop and when i boot, i just get a terminal prompt ... and so i have to manually type startxfce to start the desktop ...
How do i do this automatically at boot?
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, downloaded Adobe reader '.bin', from the terminal
It extracted and asked me for a installation location, to which i put [~]
It then finished the installation.
But when i click on the icon in the start menu or on desktop it fails to start, when i also click on a .pdf document it also fails to start!

I just bought a new Acer desktop, installed Fedora 10. No problem getting into run level 3 but if I try to start X I get the following at the bottom of the message
Fatal server error
no screens found
xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): unable to connect to x server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
I have dug around the internet to see what might be wrong. There are some articles from years ago but to be honest some of it is beyond me.

This is a new install of fedora 11 with Neville NewGuy at the controls. I cannot start Firefox from the desktop. Nothing happens (at all, nada, nix, zilch). When I run Firefox in a TermSess as su i get the following warning:
(firefox:3168): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported.
and a GUI error box An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Firefox. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
Followed by these details Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
But Firefox starts OK. I checked the URL specified and then made sure the nfslock service was started but I can't find a gconf service (should I have found it??).

I have some years experience of linux & programming, but I don't really know whats "under the hood" in a PC. I decided to learn. I have two hard drive disks in one of my computers, so I decided to see if I could run it with only one. I removed the voltage from one of the hard drive disks and when I booted, of course the cumputer gave me the message: "Disk failure, insert system disk and restart". When I reconnected the HDD in my computer and booted once again, I got the same message.
This brings me to my first question: Why can't I start my computer as usual after unplugging and replugging one of my two hard drive disks? All cables remains the same, what has changed? The first question remained unanswered and I tried to install a OS on one of the HDDs when the other was disconnected. This worked fine and I set up a windows/debian dual boot. Perfect! But after reconnecting the disconnected HDD I tried to do the same thing (so I would install a new version of the system I started out with, a windows/debian dual boot). I formatted and installed windows on one of my HDDs again. It was bootable.
When I installed debian and let the installer set up Grub, I got the message "Missing operating system" when booting. I tried to install only linux (without windows) and I reached the same resault: after unplugging and replugging one of my 2 HDDs I can no longer boot a debian operating system, though the installation runs without a problem. What has happened? What do I need to do to be able to install a working debian system on this computer? (installing windows works fine) Has the settings of my BIOS changed when I unplugged?
I just updated my computer, from Debian Lenny to Squeeze. I have to say, the upgrade did not go as smooth as I thought it would. First of all, every so often the upgrade process would prompt me for information about this and that. Since I'm not an IT person, I just try to select the default for everything. Nevertheless, it's definitely harder to upgrade then Ubuntu which does not prompt for too much and is totally graphical.
After all is said and done, a whole bunch of errors appear at startup. It seems though none of the errors or of any consequence. They say stuff like, this will be redundant in the future and so forth.
However there is one big item that does not work. It's the graphical user interface. I get an error about X. server being not available. I am using NVIDIA GeForce 2MX graphics card which requires NVIDIA legacy 96xx driver. I have updated or installed the 686 version of the kernel versus the default 486. However I cannot get the graphical user interface to start. Worst, without a graphical user interface, I cannot even browse the net and then copy and paste into the commandline.
Also, I have tried switching the X.org configuration file from nvidia to nv just try to make it work graphically, without success. Yes, the graphics were working fine with the NVIDIA driver before I upgraded to squeeze. I have checked out all the forums and tried reinstalling the NVIDIA driver without any success. Without a graphical user interface apt-get has no way of even telling me what packages are available to install.
Unfortunately I only minored in Computer Science, but I enjoyed it nonetheless and unfortunately I stopped using Linux after those classes. During this time I actually really got to like Linux (the class used Ubuntu but my friend who was majoring in it got Debian for me).
I only got a C in that class because like I said, it was something I minored in. Anyways, my main question is how do I install Debian on a USB (not a FAT32) so that if I move it from home to work or something, I can just boot up the USB and start using Debian on that computer (assuming it has something else like Windows for example)?
I am overseas at the moment, and the wife has been having issues with my machine. After many hours of trying to to talk her through doing things, one of my geeks suggested installing Teamviewer and doing it myself.
I have SSH and WinSCP from work. I am using amd64 so the first attempt to install failed due to unmet dependencies. Then I read the MultiArch bit, installed ai32-libs and the install seemed to work. When my wife tried to start TV, it stated that the daemon was not running. When I try to restart the daemon, I get this.....

I did an install of Jessie on a Macbook 2,1 to be the machine's only operating system, but it won't boot, showing only a black screen with a blinking cursor. I think the problem is caused by a mistake I made during the installation process, where I selected yes for the prompt:This machine's firmware has started the installer in UEFI mode but it looks like there may be existing operating systems already installed using "BIOS compatibility mode". If you continue to install Debian in UEFI mode, it might be difficult to reboot the machine into any BIOS-mode operating systems later.
If you wish to install in UEFI mode and don't care about keeping the ability to boot one of the existing systems, you have the option to force that here. If you wish to keep the option to boot an existing operating system, you should choose NOT to force UEFI installation here. Force UEFI installation?

I have just installed Lenny but I can not see any graphic Desktop. I got only a movil window with the message:Input not supported. Because of it I think the resolution my screen is not fixed right.I tried to re-configure with:# dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorgbut I can not reconfigure the screen.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm sure you will laugh at me, however I do have to ask : is there a desktop environment at all in Jessie installation CD 1 , I mean the one I've downloaded here [URL].... , and to be precise this one [URL].... .
I've installed it in a virtualbox thinking that I'd see a Gnome desktop (assuming it is the default one and seeing that nothing was specified in the CD name), but there is no graphical environment at all, it boots to a console: dpkg -l finds no desktop components and there is no default display manager in /etc/X11 (of course startx only gets me another terminal, probably xterm) .
It should not be a virtualbox issue because the LXDE version there runs OK, I'm just a bit puzzled that no desktop environment at all is apparently installed even if I'm positive that I've checked that option during the installation: I've installed this CD without a network connection, but nevertheless, if the installer says "install a desktop environment" that's what I'm expecting to find...
I don't remember such an issue with Wheezy, in fact I only used CD 1 and there was indeed a Gnome desktop after installation - it's not a big deal, I'd just like to know if this is normal.
I recently have started playing with various distros (Mostly just Zorin and Debian) and have been trying to find a GUI I can actually comfortably use without wanting to punch my screen. This lead me to cinnamon which looks like something I could actually use.
I performed a fresh installation of Debian Jessie without the desktop environment and print server (System Utilities or whatever that option is called was left checked) and after the system installed and booted I proceeded to login as the root and install cinnamon. Unfortunately afterwards my system would be nothing but a black screen with a box saying that cinnamon had crashed and was running in fallback mode.
However if I let a fresh installation install the default GUI of xfce and then perform the cinnamon installation, cinnamon will install and run. My question is why doesn't a clean install with cinnamon work but installing cinnamon after another gui does? I don't get any apparent error messages beyond cinnamon crashing and I'm still fairly new to Linux.
I have an HP pavilion laptop with core i5 4210U that has intel HD4400 graphics. I installed debian wheezy 7.7 after shrinking win 8 and freeing 350GB for debian. I went through the hurdle of making a UEFI bootable USB drive and the system dual boots fine. But once I boot debian, I get all the run time messages and then login prompt flashes and the whole screen is blank except for a prompt on top left. I can open a terminal but that's about it. I'm unable to remotely login (connection refused) from either windows using moba terminal or another debian machine.

I tried the apt-get but it failed saying:

In case I have to install Debian testing version that some said worked, how do I get rid of my current installation, which is UEFI? Do I just erase its partitions in windows? Then what happens to its UEFI boot manager? Just leave it there to rot? If I install again with debian testing version, I envision some problems of the grub UEFI boot manager thinking that the debian 7.7 is still there and try to boot to it. I do have the partition images in partition manager home version 12 so I could just restore the UEFI partition.

OpenSSH is supposed to do that, isn't it? Thus, I'm going to install OpenSSH server on his Debian, but - to avoid security holes - I'll write two scripts to start and to stop the OpenSSH service; he will run such scripts whenever I need to check his machine, to make OpenSSH server available only when needed. I'm also aware that disabling console access for root is better, and that I should log in as a regular user and then do "su".
