When I resume my computer from suspend (or after it goes to screensaver), I am sometimes unable to log back in. The message on the lock box simply says 'Timeout has expired' or something to that effect.There is no way to get around that, all I can do is cold-boot loosing all the work I was doing (unsaved).I do not have desktop effects enabled.Running Gnome 2.32, OpenSUSE 114., n550 proc and x3150 Intel GMA
I installed linux 2010 mandriva on a (embeded) system,and i run several server programs on it that accept connections from clients. clients are connected to server(s) and every things is ok, but when i go to home and back to my work tomorrow, i see no data can be sent to server programs and this problem exists until i restart the server programs or reconnect tcp client programs. this problem occurs even when both client and server programs executed on the same (embeded) system.why this happens? i checked by netstat and see that server ports exists in the list(and not closed by kernel) but it seems kernel or an application above it prohibit data transmission.i changed the OS and installed ubuntu but the problem exists.
Well, turns out that when I rebooted into the installed system a user setup utility launched, but now whenever I try to log in as me, X crashes and GDM starts up again, telling me to relog in.
Now it's the case of "A setup utility launches and I set up my user, only to try to log in and get kicked in the face by GDM, having done all that work for nothing".
I am using semaphore.h I declared a variable of type sem_t. I am able to use the variable without even calling sem_init or sem_open, and it is working properly.if the variable is automatically assigned some value? Also would I run into any trouble doing so?
I was using Fedora 9 until about 1 month ago when my hard drive crashed. I installed F12 on a new hard drive last week. Due to some other software issues (empathy), I decided I should try to get the latest updates. PackageKit kept giving errors and would not update. So, I researched and found that I needed to run " su -c 'yum update' " for the first update then PackageKit would work. I did this and after about an hour of updating, the screen went black. Nothing you can do at that point but hard reboot.
When I did that, I could only get a "GRUB" command line. I played with it for a minute but really I have no idea what to do with GRUB cmd (beyond my experience level). So I decided to wipe it out and reinstall F12. I did that, and was just working thru the updates again. Same thing happened, went to black screen. I have not rebooted it yet, but Im sure when I do, it will be GRUB again. What in the world am I supposed to do with this? I am not a Linux star, but I have been using it for around 8 years now with various distros, so I would say I have at least moderate experience.
I love it but I have a problem that someone can hopefully help me troubleshoot. The system intermittently crashes, the screen freezes and nothing works except the mouse pointer which can be moved but not used. Is there a way for me to diagnose this
I have random crashes since I upgraded from Fedora 11 to Fedora 12.I searched the internet to try to find the root cause of the problem.I created this bug report:URL...However, no comments were added how to solve the problem.Enabling msi for nvidia and hda-intel made the system much more stable. But I still experience sometimes crashes.I do not know how to enable msi for uhci_hcd:usX, which is still sharing interrupts with ata_piix and ehci_hcd:usbX.Have you some hints? I hate it when my Fedora Linux system is crashing randomly.
I wanted to replace the Nouveau with the proprietary Nvidia driver. I removed Nouveau and changed to console mode with "init 1". Realizing that i did not properly save the binary file i switched back to graphic mode with "init 5" only to have the system freeze. I rebooted and chose the usual kernel in the grub menu. The system continued to load but froze right after the Fedora logo (which hides the textual loading details) finished loading. I can not even switch to a console with ctrl-alt-F1.
I set the default os to boot as windows 7 with a timeout of 1 second. I thought that this would be enough time to switch os ubuntu when i need to, but I am unable to. How can i reset the timeout to 3 seconds? I also cannot view the ubuntu partition within windows because of ubuntu's file system.
I just reinstalled, and can't get the setting set right so that my display does not shut off after a certain period of time. It is shutting off after a while of inactivity, and I do not want it to.
I currently have fedora 15 installed along side windows 7 on my acer aspire d250. So far it runs great, however I was wondering if there is a way to make fedora 15 hibernate after being in suspend for a period of time, just like windows 7 does. This make sense to me as there is no point in wasting battery life if i can hibernate, but I don't want to hibernate all the time, just suspend for a period of time, like 2 hours, in case I need my netbook again i have quick access to it.
I'm running Fedora 12 on an Acer Aspire One with KDE. The built-in wireless works without a problem EVERYWHERE except at work. It's a shared wireless connection using WPA/WPA2 security.I can connect but it's "hit-and-miss" if I can do anything with it. Somedays it works well for a few minutes then has a period of inactivity - then slow - randomly receives...It worked flawlessly when the computer was running Windows7 no one else has connectivity issues but I'm the only one using Linux.
Problem occured yesterday and has added 3 mins to my boot time. all i can say about it is that it occured after a yum update and then a crash while using wine. i navigated to the file but really cant say much about it. however the pci call there makes me wonder if it is related to the post below.
My wireless device is an Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300, driver is iwl4965. Post-suspend I see exactly the same messages as in that Ubuntu report. Restarting NM does not help.Is there a way to lengthen to timeout or kick the device in to life some other way?
I have successfully setup FreeNX on Suse 10.2, Suse 11 (32 and 64 bit), and am now attempting on RHEL 5.4 (32 and 64 bit). For both distributions, the client fails to times out at exactly the same point - downloading the session information. Here are the steps I took to install/configure.
My hardware platform is an old laptop built on an ATI motherboard and chips. It has 1.9G of RAM and 80G Hd. After months of trying distros here and there I have settled on Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper drake because it has a built-in module for my ATI Radeon 200m, it uses the hardware good enough without necessarily setting some Grub-time parameters like noapic, noapci, etc.
But the LTS is already expired and I can no longer Synaptic for the applications that I am in dire need of. I have even tried to compile backward WinehQ 0.9.9 but it did not make, requiring me to update libs and gcc, which, aside from being over-engrossing I have no luxury of time for that. Also recent softwares are built upon newer kernels which Dapper cannot cope with.Is there a way to obtain a DVD containing all the software compatible to Dapper that I can use offline and include it in the source.list paths?
Or, is there an online repository STILL available today, canonical or not, that provides a key so that I can still apt-get or synaptic to it?Is there a work around that I can do of for my purpose?I have spent two days already thinking about and tinkering but the result of my labor is unsatisfactory
two days before I have formatted my / partition and everything seems to working fine. Next day I came to office and try to login as root through ssh. I am getting the error: [sunheer@svn ~]$ ssh root@192.10.10.23
I thought the password were wrong and I rebooted the server in to run level 1 and reset the password and it started to work. Again on next day the account got same problem.his started to happen after formatting the / partition
I use NX Server 3.4.0-8 and GNOME desktop and I connect through NXClient 3.4.0-5 on Windows 7 pro 64bit.
I have some problems, first is that I use beesu and through the physical console, it asks me once for my password and then remembers it as long as the passwd timeout is set on sudoers file. But when I connect to my desktop through NX, beesu asks for mypassword all the time not honoring the save timeout setting.
I have a box running Fedora 14 upstairs and I've been trying to get it to run VNC server, unsuccessfully. I've RTFM, and followed the instructions step-by-step, but it still won't run. I'm getting no error messages. But when I try to connect from either a Window or Mac client, it either get a timeout or connection refused. I've read and tried all the troubleshooting; been working on this for about 12 hours now. Is there something major that I could be overlooking?
I installed fresh installation of F15 and I've allways used Evolution as my mailclient. There was in older Evolution versions option "Mark message as read in X secs" I set that to zero to read emails smoothly, now I have to wait after every message that it's got "as read" and that's really annoying especially if it's automatically sent message from server that I don't really have to "check" it just click it to get it as read. I've been gone thru all the settings of current Evolution in F15 and haven't found anymore that option. Maybe there's conf file somewhere that I can put that? That "Help" page for Evolution is kinda outdated.
I am trying to stream video from my Fedora 12 server to my XBox 360 via uShare 1.1a. I have opened the port I have specified in the ushare.conf file and in verbose mode, uShare sees every video I want to share. The XBox sees the uShare under "Computer", but I get a connection timeout when trying to connect to it. /var/log/messages shows no errors with uShare. I can connect to the uShare web interface without any problems. Most people seem to be using uShare with Ubuntu,
I get an expired key warning every time I add a repo from the OBS. Creation/expiration dates are the same each time. This alway happens in the OBS, not Packman or elsewhere. I've tried cleaning the metadata and cache, and doing a rebuild with rpm. I've removed all of the existing keys associated w/OBS. Somebody know what this is about? I can't think of anything else to try.
Code: New repository or package signing key received: Key ID: 9584A164BD6D129A
I tried to install nvidia drivers & when I tried aptitude update it says that 'backports.debian .org' Release file has expired ignoring......How long does it normally take to update?
