I can follow instructions but can't make leaps of logic. I installed F14 and managed to get it working correctly on one of our laptops but when i installed xguest it created the guest account on the login but give me a "unable to open session" message when i try to log in.
View 2 RepliesThe following message comes up when I boot up: Logging in user Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0. When I press OK, the system completes the start up and everything looks normal. But when I try to connect to internet, I get the following message:
KNetworkManager cannot start because the installation is misconfigured. System DBUS policy does not allow it to provide user settings; contact your system administrator or distribution. KNetworkManager will not start automatically in future. If I reboot the system, I logg in successfully. So far the problem has appeared approximately upon every second time I boot up. Rebooting the system seems to take care of it.
Don't know what info is of interest. I'm using
Opensuse 11.2
KDE 4.4.2 (Factory)
After upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 it worked fine for a week or so.
I do a clean install of slackware64 13.1 beta1 with KDE and switch default runlevel to 4 in /etc/inittab.
I try to login in kdm, I always come back to the login....
I try this with default runlevel 3 and an .xinitrc with "ck-launch-session startkde" .. works without problems, so I switch back to default runlevel 4, now i can login and only get the error "Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session..."
Here are some logs

Just installed Fedora 12 on a P4 IBM. Everything installed fine. Then, I rebooted, installed updates, and installed a few simple programs (emacs, ssh server). I rebooted since some kernel updates had been made. I can't login anymore. I get a brief message at GDM that says "unable to open session" after I enter my password. Root also doesn't work, but I figured out that root logins are disabled. I found something that recommended disabling selinux, so I reboot with selinux=0 parameter. That still didn't fix the problem, but did initiate selinux to re-label everything on the next boot.
My next thought was that maybe my password got corrupted, so I went into single usermode. I ran passwd justin, so I know that my password is correct. I still can't login via GDM or on a tty.
EDIT: I was also thinking I might need to uninstall something that I did; however, networking is disabled in single usermode, and if I init 3, then I get a login prompt that I can't open. Is there a way that I can enable root login? That might be a starting point to see if it's my user account or a general login problem.
I coundn't log in fedora anymore. Everytime i try, i receive the report "unable to open session".

After finally getting libptp2 to compile I find that ptpcam does not work. This has worked perfectly fine before with the same camera using Slackware 12.0, I am now using Slackware 13.1 and ptpcam will simply not work. The error is as follows:
Code:
x86_1# ptpcam -l
Listing devices...
bus/dev vendorID/prodID device model
ERROR: Could not open session!
Try to reset the camera.
I have tried to reset with "ptpcam -r", I have also tried to disconnect and reconnect the camera to the USB system, I have tried to reboot the computer, I have tried to use different versions of libptp2 -- all to no avail. The strace shows the issue is apparently a failed ioctl(), although I have no idea why it fails:
Code:
open("/dev/bus/usb/002/004", O_RDWR) = 6
write(4, "1"..., 1) = 1
read(3, "1"..., 1) = 1
[code]....
I have verified that the camera is working in Windows 7 on the same physical computer and I can see the camera from lsusb and dmesg output when I connect it to the USB system. This system is Slackware 13.1, Linux x86_1 2.6.33.4-smp #2 SMP Wed May 12 22:47:36 CDT 2010 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am setting up a KIOSK in a public location. The Idea being that staff will turn on the workstation in the morning and click the xguest account. Xguest will log in auto connect to AP, load Epiphany full screen and bring up the company web page. I am new to SELinux (there's the first problem!). I have a Fedora 12 SELinux box with vanilla xguest, User Profile Editor and Lockdown Editor installed. I have an SMC 802.11 NIC. I have configured the NIC to auto connect at BOOT. I configured the Lockdown Editor for Epiphany to the desired settings.
Everything works fine under the normal account. Everythign works under the xguest account except the auto connecting to the AP. I have made sure the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts have the correct settings for the AP. The AP does not broadcast the ESSID. When I log in as the xguest I have to select the BSSID and type the password in to connect the first time. After that it will work even after reboot. If I power off again I have to select the BSSID and type the password again.
I think it is something with SELinux stopping it from auto connecting. I tried adding a script to the Startup Applications settings for the xguest account and SELinux blocks it from running. How can I set up the xguest account to auto connect to the AP?
My Fedora 12 box got that error after some updates on it.
I can login but it's prompting that error and everything will be a black space.
But still no good.
According to the log messages, the ConsoleKit session isn't initializing. I can't paste the logs here coz it's on another laptop.
I could think of just upgrading it to Fedora 13 but there's no way I can backup all of my files on it. Is it just safe to upgrade it?
I just reinstalled my OpenSuse 11.3 with the GNOME desktop. As soon as I was done installing and I was on a fresh desktop, I installed the Yast updates that were available, rebooted, and now I can't login to any of my User accounts. Whenever I try to login, it tells me that it is "Unable to Open Session".o any of you know how I can fix this without having to reinstall all over again

We are using Real VNC enterprise server. User will connect to the vnc server and do their work. We are facing one issue since from last week. When user is working on session, some times the session will get hung.He can't do anything on that. If he close the connection and try to connect from vnc viewer to the same vnc session it is not connecting. even it is not asking for the password. I have checked in the server the Xvnc process for the session is still running. When I tried to check the session is alive or not from telnet it is not showing that RFB 004.001.

Since I upgrade our cluster from the FC14 to the FC15 I have a bad problem with the tftpd server. I have some thinstations booting over the network after the update the boot failed with the message "TFTP open timeout". I use an "ip alias" (cluster adress) for the tftp server (next-server in the dhcp), when I use the real ip I have no problem. I found some information about a "Service Guard environment" and an option to enable it:
"This option is required for some tftp clients. These clients reject the tftp reply received from a different IP address than the one requested when the server?s interface is configured with an alias IP address." I do not see an option like that in the tftpd server of the FC15.
Since doing an update (Kubuntu 10.04), this message appears when attempting to log in;
Quote:
Warning: cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: the permission of the setuid helper is not correct.
After clicking ok on the above warning, the system logs in, but gives 2 error messages;
