Fedora :: F14 Bypass Login And Boot To WahCade?

Jan 20, 2011

I am VERY new to linux and have managed to install Fedora 14, xmame.SDL and Wah!Cade and finally got it all working great! My final step in my setup is (since the only use for this machine is wahcade) to be able to switch the computer on and boot straight into wahcade...and eventually hide all traces of Fedora during boot. I have managed to get the login to Autologin by adding some lines at the end of /etc/gdm/custom.conf:

Code:
TimedLoginEnable=True
TimedLogin=username
TimedLoginDelay=0
However, I still get the login box but with "Autologin" on it which I have to click ok for or wait about 15 seconds and it goes away. (I was under the impression the timedlogindelay as 0 would be instant) Then immediately after that it still asks for a keyring password.

How can I just get rid of the whole login process (like a single user thing) and just have the thing boot straight to the desktop? Also, once I achieve that, how can I make it open wahcade? And can I remove all the icons from the desktop somehow?

Everything I have come across on tinternet seems to assume I know linux inside out so answering in dummy step by step terms is more than welcome. I have a programming background but I am unfamiliar with linux programs, plugins, terminal, terms etc.

Ubuntu :: How To Bypass The Boot Menu 10.4

Ubuntu :: 10.10 - Bypass Welcome Menu After Boot

Oct 14, 2010

I have a persistent installation of 10.10 on a USB thumb drive installed with the Universal USB Installer. When I boot, it always brings up the welcome screen, with the languages on the left side, the big "Try Ubuntu" button in the center, and an "Install Ubuntu" button on the right. I just want to run ubuntu from the USB stick. When I click on "Try Ubuntu" the system hangs for 2-3 minutes, requires a force-quit and then brings up the desktop.

If, at the beginning of the boot process, I interrupt it bringing up the initial menu, I can select "English" then "Run Ubuntu from this USB", and it boots very quickly directly to the desktop. Before this install I was running 9.04 and later 10.04 from the same USB stick and had no issue with it booting directly to the desktop. Ideally I'd like to not need to intervene and just have load to the desktop. Do I need to make some changes to grub?

Fedora :: 12 Will Not Boot / Login?

Feb 10, 2010

I was using Ubuntu and then when their upgrade went from 9.04 to 9.10...my machine would never log in and they could not tell this newbie how to fix it without a bunch of geek talk. I got fed up and came to Fedora 12. All was working fine until it updated itself with normal updates and not it will either not boot at all...and I get a flashing cursor on a black screen, or it will boot but when I try and log in to the GUI it resets back to the log in screen. I have a laptop with Win7 and Fedora 12 on the same hard drive and they are both the 64bit editions.

Fedora Installation :: F11 Installed But Boot Won't Get To Login / What To Do?

Sep 22, 2009

No problems during installation (except DVD didn't automatically eject at end).

On booting, I got a bar across the foot of the screen (shades of blue, which then changed to white with Fedora 11 on RHS); then waited ... no change, no keyboard or mouse response.
Repeated the whole installation again - same result.

Then installed Fedora 9 and it booted OK; using Admin/Display showed a default CRT and XGI Volari Z7 video card.

Fedora :: Lock At Boot Up Before Get Into The Login Screen

Nov 20, 2009

I just installed Fedora 12 earlier today using preupgrade. Everything seems to work alright, but I do have a couple of problems. I've had this happen twice already, but when I'm booting up, my machine will freeze once the Fedora logo is shown right before I get into the login screen. Another problem I've had is when I do boot into KDE I'll see an ! icon next to the clock telling me that there has been a crash in the kernel.

Edit: Update- It only hangs when I reboot. If I restart in windows and try to boot fedora, it hangs, if I restart in Fedora, it will hang after the restart. The only way I can boot Fedora is from a cold boot

Edit: I seemed to have fixed the problem after searching Google for 20 minutes. I just ran this command as root.. #chcon -t system_dbusd_exec_t /bin/dbus-daemon

Fedora :: Laptop Won't Boot - No Login Prompt - X Isn't Running

Jul 12, 2010

My FC12 laptop won't boot. During the attempted boot, after blue/white progress bars finish displaying on the bottom of screen, nothing more seems to happen. The screen isn't totally blank in that I seem to have a text cursor and keyboard input is displayed. But, no prompt, no login prompt, X isn't running, etc. If I hit ESCduring boot, it displays the boot messages and the boot sequence stops after "Starting atd". I'm not sure if it's related, but I had previously experimented with creating a new xorg.conf file by running "Xorg -configure' and was testing the new file with "X -?? /etc/x11/xorg.conf.new" (I forget what the -?? option was). I assumed that this would not overwrite the /etc/x11/xorg.conf file and that if I ran into problems, that the original xorg.conf would be in place. how I can get this miserable thing to boot?

Fedora Installation :: GUI And F14 Won't Boot - Goes Into A Loop Between The Login Page

Feb 19, 2011

I removed the LXDE and XFCE packages and now when I try to boot into F14 it goes into a loop between the login page and the fedora icon with blue background showing a X over the icon. In other words, it is looping between the login screen and the previous screen. I think I broke it good. Is there anyway to recover from this?

General :: Fedora - Boot Direct To Application On Console With No Login?

Apr 19, 2010

I have a need to start an application on bootup on the linux console and I do not have a need for any type of login or security. I do not need any ALT-F1,F2,etc virtual consoles but I would like to allow SSH access via the network port for debugging, loading, etc.

The application is a SDL graphics program running with fbcon as the SDL_VIDEODRIVER if that matters. I'm currently using Fedora 10 and 12 but any distro that supports SDL using the fbcon framebuffer would be acceptable.

Fedora :: X Freezes After Boot - Unresponsive Shortly Before Or After Login For A Couple Of Minutes

Apr 15, 2010

So my Dell latitude E6400 running fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.i686.PAE) is usually connected to a big screen (1920x1200).

Now each time I boot, X becomes unresponsive shortly before or after login for a couple of minutes, and then goes back to normal. This happens both with and without connection to the big screen.

The error messages associated to this seem to be like this, my /var/log/Xorg.0.log is cluttered with them :

Code:

I normally start my computer in the morning, walk off for some tea, and come back when X is functioning, but when I'm in a hurry it's pretty, or very, annoying ... drinking tea / coffee to wait for a computer to start is something people did in the 90s, it shouldn't be default behaviour in 2010 ...

Fedora Installation :: 12 Unstable During Boot / Crashed From Starting Udev To The Login Screen?

Nov 22, 2009

Fedora 12 randomly crashes after a fresh install.Everything is left at its default during the installation except I install KDE and not Gnome.When I try to boot I hit esc at the splash screen to see where it hangs, but it never hangs at the same spot twice. Sometimes it hangs and sometimes it restarts. Its crashed everywhere from starting udev to the login screen.

I've been using kubuntu for the past year because I have the same problem with F10 and F11.
I dual boot with Windows 7 for games.

System specs:
Motherboard: MSI P45 Platinum
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
Video Card: Radeon HD4850
Memory: 4GB (2x2GB) Patriot
HDD: Main: 250GB SATA Western Digital

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.3 - How To Bypass Grub

Feb 18, 2011

I have installed Suse 11.3 on /dev/sdc which is a hard drive connected to a usb port. Windows 7 lives on /dev/sdb in the box. Another drive sda is in the box also. I configured bios to boot the usb drive first. Grub is installed on /dev/sdc mbr. My scheme is to allow me to boot directly to Windows if the usb drive is not powered up, and directly to Suse if it is powered up. That all works. However, I would like to bypass the grub menu and boot right into Suse, like what happens with Windows, not having to select an entry from that pesky grub menu.

What is the best way to configure the system so that this can work? I've done a lot of searching but there are too many grub horror stories in the haystack to find this particular needle. Also, I've had my share of problems recently after losing control of the boot process somehow and not being able to boot into Suse at all. All of the postings I found on the net about recovering from that turned out to be phoney in some way and I had to reinstall to bet better. I'd like not to repeat that scenario.

Ubuntu :: Way To Bypass The Keychain Password?

Dec 3, 2010

I realise that passwords are a good thing but I'm getting fed up having to enter a password just to get my wireless network to work every time I switch on Ubuntu or when I log out and back in again.

Seeing as there is nobody in the house that I want to keep away from the computer, is there a way to automatically sign-in to my wireless network without having that annoying key-chain popping up every time?

Ubuntu :: Cannot Bypass This White Screen

Mar 18, 2011

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 off a desktop. I was using it for quite a while up until last night when out of nowhere while surfin', and browsing, the screen just turned white, I've tried restarting by powering off manually, as I couldn't get it to any other way. After the computer restarts, it might flash black for a sec a couple of times, then back to being white again, the BIOS screen doesn't even show up. It sounds like in the background the computer might still be loading up. My monitor is a 21"LCD, if that means anything?

Ubuntu :: Can't Bypass Loging Screen ?

Yesterday I was working on Ubuntu, i shut down the computer normally, and then when i restarted it like an hour later i couldn't bypass the login screen. I insert my username & password correctly and the screen goes back for one second and then displays the login and password inputs again. I have just one username there. Before i shut it down i was trying to install Eclipse, so i messed around with some files related to Eclipse only, if that has anything to do with the problem. I also have Windows XP installed along with Ubuntu 9.10.

General :: How To Bypass FSCK At Reboot

Jul 23, 2010

I have a server that said a volume was dirty and to check it at reboot, so someone did a shutdown -rF now. Only problem is the other volumes are HUGE and it will take forever, which I cant have happen. The volume with the trouble is non-critical so I could take it offline and check it that way if i can get this to boot quickly. How can I do that if its going to auto check every volume on reboot now?
