Debian Multimedia :: Missing Logout In KDE?
Aug 19, 2011
I seem to have no end of strange problems. Ctl-Alt-Del no longer presents me with the logout/shutdown dialog. I have no idea what caused it to disappear. I have to use Ctl-Alt-Backspace to kill X now in order to shutdown, reboot, or log in as a different user. I can't find any setting in kdmrc that might affect this. I'm running straight squeeze. I have been removing and re-installing a variety of packages, (see my post on Kaffeine, e.g.) but have not seen any errors or found any broken packages.

As a normal user I have activated the functions of the Quit applet, i.e. Logout, Shutdown and Restart are active buttons. I am able to restart or shutdown, no problems. But when I use the Logout button I don't get logged out, just returned to the login shell & I am still logged in as my user. I don't have a display manager installed and I do NOT want to use a display manager such as XDM or GDM. How do I get the Logout button to actually logout the user? It appears I am only getting logged out of the x-session, but I want complete logout.

I just installed debian unstable with kde 4.4.5 on a new hp desktop. Just about everything is working fine except when I try to logout or shutdown by right clicking on the desktop. No matter which option I choose--logout, shutdown, or restart--the screen goes black and nothing happens. I'm forced to do a hard shutdown or use alt-SysRq-B to reboot. I can reboot or shutdown using the command line when logged into kde.

I have a problem with garbled graphics after resuming from hibernate or logging out (when the screen blinks and goes back to the display manager). It only occurs when I do either, about half the time. What happens is the edges of everything "bleed" horizontally (left to right) in red and green colors and black text on a white background becomes entirely unreadable (but white text on a black background is readable and just looks a little bolder). If I shut down or restart the computer (softly) when the screen has garbled, then it will freeze and not even the SysRq keys work (I have enabled it in /etc/sysctl.conf). Then the only thing left is to do a hard restart (in which case there's a voice saying "System failed VGA test" before BIOS/GRUB loads) or poweroff. Powering it off and then starting it again works fine. I did a google image search and this is sort of how it looks when it freezes: link
Once the screen has garbled (but only if it hasn't frozen) I can use SysRq to issue S E S I S U O to shut it off and then power it on, and that works: then I get a non-garbled command line after sigterm and it shuts off and starts up properly. If I issue B instead of O (to restart) I get the "System failed VGA test" on boot (but it doesn't freeze when shutting down). Hibernation is easy enough to fix by just turning it off (it's not a laptop so I don't need it anyway), but it still happens sometimes when I log out. So as long as I never change users the system works perfectly and this never happens. I've tried GNOME, Xfce4, OpenBox without any DE, gdm3 and SLiM and the problem persists in all of them.
Some system details:
Debian Squeeze i386 (using only software from the stable main repository)
Kernel: 2.6.32-5-686
Video card: ATI Radeon 9600SE (using the preinstalled open source drivers)
Motherboard: ASUS P4P 800-E
By the way: sometimes when it's in the process of shutting off (when the display hasn't been corrupted), after it kills all graphical applications, I can see that the CLI text gets the garbled look, but at that point the poweroff works without freezing. This is the most similar sounding bug that I could find: [URL]. Unfortunately I can't find a solution to it, and most people who have similar problems seem to get either the garbled graphics or the freezes, but not both. Also: how safe is it to keep shutting off with SysRq to recover from this? Can I get disk errors?

I added a Netspeed applet to my top panel. It screwed up my Me Menu and Logout menu, so I removed it, rebooted. However after the reboot my menu's are still screwed up. See the attached screen shot. The Me Menu works however if I click where the logout menu is supposed to be I don't get anything.

I have a problem with my Debian 8 installation. This morning I was playing around with libvirt and virt-manager while I was routinely installing updates using apt-get. While doing that, my system crashed (probably because of the running Win8 VM). After resetting (in hardware), I got access to the emergency console where I tried executing "dpkg --configure -a" which worked.
After restarting, I first noticed that the login screen background (just the normal Jessie one on LXDM) was missing and the screen was black instead. After logging in, I saw that nearly every image/icon/whatever is missing. For example:
- the icons in lxpanel (I use LXDE)
- the copy and paste icons nearly everywhere
- the New Tab icon in Firefox
- many more icons
- the desktop and login background
A few images are still there:
- interestingly, the lxpanel icons are replaced by "icon missing" icons which still work
- most icons in Firefox except for New Tab
- all images of LibreOffices (so this problem might be Gtk+ only)
Some programs don't work (obviously because they can't load their menu icons and don't a fallback). An example for this would be Inkscape. It crashes at start:
Code: Select all(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
(inkscape:2513): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'document-open' for stock: Format der Bilddatei unbekannt
[Code] .....
Note: I use a German system. "Format der Bilddatei unbekannt" means something like "Format of image file is unknown", "Bildtyp 'xpm' wird nicht unterstützt" means "xpm image type is not supported".
Concerning the desktop background, I looked at /etc/alternatives/desktop-background and found a correct SVG image which was the one I had before.
How I could restore these images?

Every time I install Jessie, I also install gufw as a graphical firewall frontend for desktop users, but I've also always had to create my own menu icon because the default one never showed up. I opened up the .desktop file today and took a look to see why it was never displayed in Gnome.
There was a line next to the bottom that basically told it to only appear in Unity. Deleting this line allowed it to appear in the Gnome menu. My question is this. Why is this line even in here?

I am testing LXDE on my test-laptop and it looks quite nice and fast. I am thinking of switching DE from Gnome.
My question: are there features in Gnome that are missing in LXDE? I can not think of any, so far. The only thing I miss so far is a possibility to edit the menu, as the menu is huge

I just got my new version of Debian, and under System>Preferences, near the top of the list, there should be a CompizConfig Settings Manager. But it's not there. I've tried apt-getting compiz, but it says I have the latest version out there. So I don't know what to do next.

I use Debian Jessie which includes a gnome shell version 3.14.1. The problem is that icons of some applications such as Viber or Starcal are not shown in the tray while the icons of other applications (e.g. Skype of Dropbox) are shown without problem.
By the way, the problem does not relate to loading, because all applications are loaded and a space is considered for each in the tray, but the problem is that for some of applications the pictures of their icons are not shown.

I'm having some issue running a wine application, this seems to not start 'cause of some missing libraries.
So I tried to locate those and the only one I found is this:
# locate libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libxcb.so.1.1.0
These others don't show any result, but I checked and all the corresponding deb pkgs are installed (both amd64 and i386):
libx11.so.6
libxext.so.6
libgl.so.1
libc.so.6
What do you think I can do to resolve? I aleady tried a reinstall. Not tried to purge 'cause apt asks to remove half of the system.

All qt4 apps tray icons are missing. Debian decided to drop sni-qt support and wmsystemtray is actually piece of shit. Also I can't even use ubuntu version of sni-qt, because it also needs to have patched version of qt4, but debian refused to include that patches. What should I do to make skype icon visible in kde5 tray?

I decided to switch from chrome back to iceweasel as my default browser. However, when I try to do that (as I used to) via Details -> Default Applications -> Web, iceweasel is not listed as choice.I tried to do it then from the shell with
Code: Select allupdate-alternatives --config x-www-browser
update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser
At least out of evolution or thunderbird, still chrome is opened when clicking on a link.

Aptitude has upgraded Icedove to version 3.0.4 today on my squeeze-amd64 system. Debian's Enigmail package is conflicting with that version of Icedove, though, and won't install therefore. I can't install enigmail as an Icedove add-on either, because the add-on is telling me that the Icedove build type "Linux_x86_64-gcc3" ain't compatible with it.

I am trying to run the SDK for Meego with Qt. When I try to launch my simulator I get the error message: Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0". The answer I got on Meego's forum is that I am missing glx extensions. I have tried to find a way to get the glx extensions but I do not seem to get it. My searches on the web all point to Nvidia, but I have got ATI. I run Lenny 5.0.6 amd64.

Installed Debian 8 Lxde desktop yesterday. All worked fine post install. Executed following two commands to make system up to date:-
Code: Select allapt-get update and Code: Select allapt-get upgrade
Switched off my system after using it for close to 3 hours. Today I booted my system and I could not see any GUI in action except mouse pointer. What I can only see is clicked on my camera and posted below for your review.When I get the login screen, I can choose different DE (fluxbox) and I was able to login and do some action. I don't know the reason for this sudden disappearance of desktop.

I downloaded the deb from the Phoronix site, installed it, and found out there were missing dependencies: php5-cli php5-gd.
These took up about 10.5 MB. Next I ran 'phoronix-test-suite list-tests', agreed to the license, then ran it with 'gui', and found out that I needed to load the 'PHP GTK' module. There is no Debian package ( at least no combination of gtk and php in description or name returned any results ), so I downloaded the source and read the instructions in INSTALL.
When running buildconf, it died due to 'phpize' not being found. This binary only comes with the php5-dev package, another 12 MB. After installing that package, buildconf dies with

I've been searching around, and while there seem to be a few threads on this topic, none have solutions. Where should I begin?

I am having trouble getting my logout sound to play. All my sounds work, the window sounds work, as well as the login, but I cannot get my logout sound to play. I have looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...io/+bug/214370, tried many of the solutions(ex. installing esound package) there, but to no avail. could pulseaudio be the problem? could it be just some code in a file? Has anyone figured this out?

like the title says, after working in GIMP for, like, 5 minutes, my session suddenly closes and I have to login again. I have been looking a lot of time for a solution, but I've not seen anyone with this problem... does anyone of you have some kind of solution? I'm desperate. I really need to use it, and I don't want to use Wine+Photoshop, I don't like to rely on windows programs.
