I'm running my Fedora 11 in Run Level 3. When the login is displayed (Non GUI)....is there a way to have the program TOP displayed either above or below the login?I wanted to be able to monitor the machine's resources without actually being logged in.

Just installed OpenSUSE 11.2 and I have to say it feels great.Only gripe I currently have is the NetworkManager that is starting up very slowly. When I have logged into KDE KNetworkManager applet says that NetworkManager is not running and hence I have no network connection. This is fixed if I start NetworkManager (as root) or just wait a couple of minutes. I have one ethernet interface only, no wireless

I'm making an effort to use Fedora as my primary desktop (previously Win Vista), but have a problem that I can't find an answer for. At seemingly random times, I will just be logged off and kicked out to the login screen for no reason. The computer's not shutting down or rebooting, but only logging out. It happens while I'm working, so it's very annoying. I have screensavers turned off, and have no actions set in power management (I am on a laptop). I have some experience with Linux systems, but not so much with using it as a desktop system. I'm running the following:
HP Pavilion dv3000 with Core 2 Duo P7350 @ 2GHz and 4GB RAM
64-bit Fedora 12, kernel 2.6.31.12-174.2.3, Gnome 2.28.2
Nvidia driver with external monitor (TwinView)
also using Compiz and Emerald theme manager
Does anyone have any clue as to what could be causing this, or even how to look for a cause?
I'm experiencing a strange behavior with wakeup after suspend/hibernate: the first time the system wakes up, it works ok. Then it can suspend ok, but on each wake up I get the login window (my session has been forced logged out). I have to reboot to get one good wake up. It's 100% reproductible on both suspend-to-disk and suspend-to-ram.
/var/log/pm-suspend.log doesn't give much info:
Mon Jul 12 16:20:24 CEST 2010: performing suspend
Mon Jul 12 17:45:16 CEST 2010: Awake.

how to get the username logged in a given IP in a network?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am using Fedora 10 .Generally to update I open a virtual console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2,login as root and give the "yum update" command.Then I continue using my graphical terminal for other tasks from the 'non-root' account..Now my room-mate comes uses my 'non-root' account to browse web for few minutes and then opens a terminal types "halt", ENTER and viola...! My root account seems to be insulted by a 'non-root' user!.When I am doing updates or other important work as root any silly user can just 'halt' my computer. Can somebody tell me how to set up my computer so that when root is logged in no other user can simply halt the computer.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI recently installed FC14 as my server and is able to ssh and vnc into the server when locally logged in. If i logged out (at login screen) then i cant ssh or vnc into the server. It is pointless to have a server if i am not able to remote in via ssh and vnc.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've used linux systems before, but the last time I actually set up a server was when fedora core 4 came out, which was, to say the least, quite a while ago. here's my core dilemma: atm, I have fedora 13 set up, and i'm looking to be able to vnc into it WITHOUT already having logged on as a user. I've tried various things and I'm having little to no luck. I uninstalled tigervnc and installed the original vnc package (With server) from realvnc.com. I've also installed xinetd and tried to get it to incorporate vncserver as a startup service, to no avail.
I have not been able to connect to the vncserver regardless of how I try. I AM able to connect to the base remote desktop functionality provided by fedora (Also vnc based). However, as soon as I disable that, I am not able to vnc into it at all. Long story short, here are the current goals:
1) be able to vnc into the computer without having logged into the system physically
2) have those logins be un / passworded. i.e., be able to login as whatever user
3) complete disable the normal graphical startup that fedora provides, since I don't think there's ever going to be a person physically at the computer and I'd like to maximize system resources
Also, if VNC is NOT the easiest way to do something like this, please let me know, I'm completely amenable to taking another route. In short, I'd like non-physical per-user graphical access to the server. I'd also like it to be more than one single vnc session, as I may have it open from either multiple locations or multiple users.
Is there a way to fix this ? I need to be able to edit files with root privileges, not to mention that I don't want it to make any backups ( can be turned off ).

Fedora 12
KDE 4.4
kernel 2.6.32.9-70.fc12.i686
Toshiba satellite L305D
As of updating KDE to 4.4 and a kernel update from two weekends ago hibernate/resume works perfectly. The problem is I feel that all terminals should be locked/logged out automatically upon suspend/hibernate. Through bug reporting at KDE found that an additional setting is required in KDE to lock the desktop before suspend/hibernate. But any of my other terminals that are logged in remain logged in upon resume. Is there an additional setting that I have to flip to secure the terminals? Would this be considered a security hole? Is there anything short of me manually logging out that I can do to automate locking/logging my terminals?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm logged into my account, I can't shut down the computer if someone else is also logged in unless I supply the root password. However, if I log out, I can shut down from GDM without being challenged, even though another person is logged in, which could cause problems if that person is in the middle of some work. Is there a way to password-protect the gdm shutdown function if people are logged in?

View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a way gnome can allow a remote desktop / VNC connection if no user is logged in? If the server gets rebooted I can't access it (remote desktop / VNC). Someone physically has to go there and log in. Surely there must be a way as gnome is running just waiting for a login.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to backup some data on my Fedora box to a external Hard Disk (USB). I mounted the external HD on my box. I wrote a bash script to do that and I scheduled a cronjob to execute the script. When I am online the script executes as planned. However when I am logged out the copy does not work. I also tested this with a cifs mount (via fstab) and that does not work either. I set the script to generate some output at the end and that is OK so the script does run when I am offline. I suppose the mounted locations are not reachable while logged out, is that correct? Is there a workaround so I can reach the mounted locations while logged out?
View 2 Replies View RelatedHave recently setup Samba on a fresh install of Fedora 14 so that I can use it as a workstation in a Windows 2003 (win2k3) domain.
The install of Samba seems to have worked as I can connect to the Domain using ADS and kerberos. selinux and firewall have been disabled until I have it working 100%
The problem lies when i try to login to Gnome or TTY. It begins to create the home directory for the domain user logging in but after a certain process Fedora logs the user out of the system.
Have looked through several log files (/var/log/messages, log.winbindd, log.winbindd-dc-connect) but am unable to debug it any further.
Have posted the config files below which shows the Fedora machine is successfully connected to the domain as it lists its groups, users and validates logon credentials - it just won't logon!
Where i can go about debugging. Also if you need additional configs.
I have updated the gdm file to be able to log in as root in Fedora 10.Nevertheless after I had selected package updates to be installed logged in as root I still get an error message that I do not have enough privileges.The terminal installation method is a bit of a problem since I do not think it will search for dependencies and therefore it can be excessively long to figure out what is missing for a package installation. In simple cases it works OK, but in more difficult cases it is a bear.

I have a Red Hat 4 server with Sungard Luminis installed on it. I was following some instructions on setting up Luminis to start at boot. One of the steps was modifying the sudoers file. Since modifying the sudores file, I am no longer able to "su" to root when logged in as a normal user. When doing so, I get su: incorrect password after putting in the password. I have another server with the exact same setup, broken one is test, the other is production, that works just fine. I made no changes to my production server. I've been looking at different things all day and the only difference I have found between the two are the results I get from running rpm -q --verify coreutils. Running that on my prodution server returns nothing. Results from my test server are below. Is this what is causing my problems? If so, what's the fix? I haven't found that yet. I've checked /etc/pam.d/su, both servers are the same.

I just installed debian 5.06 i386 130MB that I downloaded yesterday(Monday).My problem is that when an incoming ssh connection to this debian box is established, but nothing is being logged to /var/log/auth.log on this box. I've tail -f the auth.log which verified nothing is getting logged for ssh. The auth.log is showing activity, mostly root logins and logoffs, but no ssh activity.I understand that /etc/rsyslog.conf may control what gets logged. I had pastebinned this file on #debian but people noted that it looked fine.I have not made any changes to the system, like editing config files or anything. The system is essentially just out of the box.What else can I do to figure this out? Otherwise, I am pleased with how Debian installed on 2002 vintage machine, and is running in console mod
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am quite new to this ubuntu business, but i like what I'm seeing so far. Well, almost everything that I'm seeing. I seem to have run into a tricky problem with xubuntu 10.04. I was in the process of customizing my desktop appearance (via Xfce4 Settings manager), and I found a nice theme to go with (dusk I think it was called). I then went on to change the window settings and starting from the bottom most option I browsed the various styles. After a few of these my computer decided to log me out quite suddenly, and I was prompted to login.
This is where the problem is: I type in my password and it logs me in for maybe a half a second only to log me out again. No matter how many times I put in the password I keep getting logged out. So now I'm running xubuntu 10.04 off a pendrive that was used in its initial installation. Is there any way to log back in and stay logged in long enough to undo the window styling at fault? I had put in quite a bit of work migrating files, installing all sorts of things and setting up fancy launchers, and I would prefer not to have to redo it again.
I just recently made a new user so that other people cane my computer when I'm not around, and I have noticed things aren't working right. For example,rted a few files downloading in Firefox and then clicked 'Switch from Fracta', expecting it to be like windows and the downloads would continue in the background while people log into the other account. But the screen just went black. Completely unresponsive.ouldn't let me ctrl-alt-f1 to the command line and alt-sysrq-R,S,E,I,U,B didn't shutdown and restart the pc. Also, It is not uncommon for the computer to freeze when my screensaver starts after however long of inactivity and the computer doesn't respond at all
