Ubuntu :: Xbuntu Shutdown Screen - Takes To The Logon Screen And Then At The Bottom Right Corner

Mar 24, 2011

I am using Xubuntu 10.10 64bit . When I press the quit or logoff buttons on the desktop it takes me to the logon screen and then at the bottom right corner it allows me to shutdown or reboot. I would like to bypass this screen entirely,and just shutdown reboot from the desktop. Only I use this machine at home ,no none else needs to log on. Is there any way to do this?

General :: Options To Pickup Where Install Left Off And Start Adding Packages - Scrap And Re Install

Apr 18, 2011

I've got an ASUS eee1005 that I'm trying to load eeebuntu -- I've read good things about it! However, I managed to get it (partially) installed using only unetbootin and the eeebuntu-nbr iso. Luckily I've got other working laptops in the house, or I'd be stuck because now I've got a partially installed distro that isn't allowing me usage of my wireless. Basically, what I'd like to do is be able to go back to the install process and load all the packages I want, which, hopefully, will give me NetworkManager so that I can finally connect. I can boot to the thumbdrive (8gig, btw) but I don't think I've got the right files on it to do the install. Here's what appears on the thumbdrive:

[code]...

I would think that with these files on the thumbdrive, it could find its way into the install process. Apparently not. I've read most, if not all of the 'install from USB' threads and how-to's, and it's still not working right - Now, having a partially installed distro (with GUI that's not GNOME, or KDE. . ?) Are there any options I can use to pickup where the install left off and start adding packages? Or should I just scrap it and re-install?

Ubuntu Installation :: GRUB Adding Tons Of Boot Options?

Mar 29, 2010

This is no huge problem, but it is rather annoying to me. I am using the 10.4 beta, and whenever I get a large update (like a updated kernel) GRUB adds another boot option to the menu (I'm dual booting Vista and Ubuntu.) So my GRUB menu looks something like this when I turn my computer on:

GNU GRUB version 1.98-1ubuntu2
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-18-generic
Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.32-18-generic (recovery mode)

Security :: Display Of Number Of Failed Logon Attempt At Logon?

Jan 26, 2010

Our system is based on RH4 and is using pam_tally and faillog to record failed attempts and to lock users out after 5 attempts. We have a requirement to provide a normal (non-root) user logging onto our system, with information regarding the number of failed logon attempts made on their account before the current successful logon (similar to the functionality provided by HP Protect Tools on Windows). My first idea was to add 'faillog -u $USER' to the bashrc, however by the time the bashrc is run - the user has been successfully authenticated and the faillog has been reset back to zero.

Fedora :: 14 - Logon Screen User Order ?

Nov 4, 2010

In fedora 14, the user order on GNOME login screen is completely different from that in fedora 13. Is there any way to order the users by date of creation ASC, not by name ASC?

Also, it is completely random. This time when I started my computer, my account was listed first. When I started this thread, it was listed last. What's happening?

General :: Adding Screen Blanking Timeout For Xvesa

Aboard TinyCore 2.7 and opting to run without Xorg. I'm needing either a pointer or syntax example. Seems my monitor supports dpms after executing a quick one-two with:

$ xset s blank

Yet I'm unsure how it would look placed in Tinys .xsession:

Code:

Fedora Installation :: Live CD Stops At Logon Screen?

Nov 2, 2009

Wanting to try F11 out and having an issue straight off the bat (perhaps I should see this as a sign of things to come and stop here!).I grabbed the live cd last night and burnt to cd OK (I'm not a noob at stuff like that); the cd boots as expected and I'm presented with the initial logon screen; I click to log in as Live System User, the "Other..." option vanishes but then nothing happens from there.I've left it for 20 minutes so far

Ubuntu :: Monitor Switches Off After Boot Before Logon Screen?

Jan 16, 2011

1. I can run the graphical installer at full resolution without using "nomodeset"

2. I can boot into the Gnome desktop using the option "Try without installing" without any problems

3. When I install to my HDD however, I can boot but just at the point where the logon screen should come(after the black screen,blinking cursor), the display reports no signal and goes to sleep. I can hit enter, type my password, hit enter again (blind, as there's no display) and the HDD spins up as if logging in, but I don't see anything.

4. Using "nomodeset" makes no difference whatsoever other than the graphical installer runs at a lower res.

5. using the alternate installer changes nothing

6. recovery mode has the same issues

It appears to me that booting into Gnome without installing uses some sort of generic driver, whereas installing uses a different driver which is sending my display to sleep. I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 64Bit. Have also tried using 10.04 64Bit and the alternate 10.10 .iso, but to no avail. My graphics card is an NVidia Quadro NVS 295 with a DisplayPort-DVI adapter. I've previously installed 10.04 64Bit on another system with an NVidia GT240 card with no problems whatsoever. I can't try that card in this machine as it's too big for the case chassis, let alone the case.

Ubuntu :: Use Keyboard On Logon Screen To Reboot Or Shutdown?

I remember that in previous Ubuntu releases, it was possible to restart/shutdown at the logon screen via the keyboard. I think it was via the F10 key. Can this function be brought back?

Anybody got an idea?

Ubuntu :: Get Rid Of Pinkish Splash Screen Behind Logon Dialog In 10.04?

Aug 4, 2010

I have found a number of pages describing everything from how to match the splash screen to my desktop background to installing a feature length movie as a splash screen (something like that). These are NOT what I want to do. I simply want to disappear the ugly pink screen and be presented the logon dialog over a blank background.

I suppose I could change the run level, logon at a terminal and startx (if that works in 10.04 - I would not place any bets).

Ubuntu :: Logon Screen Appears Twice After Returning Computer From Idle?

Jun 1, 2010

I've recently done a fresh install of 10.04 on an Acer Aspire 5720 and it went pretty well. However I've a problem with the logon appearing twice. If I leave my computer idle for too long the screen locks. when I return I'm asked for my password which unlocks the computer but within a few seconds the screen locks again and I need to enter my password for a second time. This time the computer unlocks and stay unlocks.. but it's annoying I have to unlock it twice !

How can I extend the length of time before it unlocks or disable it all together.. until the problem gets fixed?

Ubuntu :: Freezes On Logon Screen After A Shutdown During Kernel Update?

Sep 2, 2010

A while ago, I was applying the new kernel updates (I guess 2.6.32-24, or the one after it.. well, the latest generic update) and accidentally powered off my laptop. And now it wont come up. It comes to the logon page, and neither the keyboard, nor the mouse work. Cant even switch to the TTYs. When I boot with the recovery mode, I just see a black screen (probably the TTYs dont work) but after "processing" some time, nothing happens. Not sure if the keyboard works, as I cannot turn on/off the capslock switch, but ctrl+alt+del works

Ubuntu :: Screen Resolution Not Showing All Options?

Aug 13, 2011

I have yet to install Ubuntu on a machine that shows screen resolution options higher than 1024x768. Is there a (GUI) way to turn on the missing options? I'd rather not have to go into that while xorg.conf thing if I don't have to. In other operating systems, I load it and set the resolution to what I want, they just show up. Why is it so hard in Ubuntu (and most Linux's in general)?

Red Hat / Fedora :: Spontaneous (?) Loss Of Screen Res Options?

Jan 2, 2010

My Fedora 10 will no longer give screen res above 800x600 (60hz)I routinely change screen res (due to having two different monitors) but I made no hardware changes immediately before the problem began. In other words: the hardware was the same as it had been the day before the problem arose.I assumed a hardware fault, so I tried with XP. Weird: I can set higher resolutions there without problem.Any idea why this happened and how I can fix itBTW, I've been a Linux user for some years, but I would describe my skill level as: 'novice.'

OpenSUSE Install :: Peculiar Boot Options Screen?

Dec 4, 2009

I use Suse Linux 11.1 on a VMware Workstation 6.5.3, and I've run into the following strange behavior: occasionally (happened two-three times in the last several days), I get instead of the usual boot options screen, which is of green color, a screen with the same content but which is predominantly blue; in fact it contains a sort of snowscape with a penguin walking across it. So far I haven't noticed anything wrong with my machine; but I'm curious if anybody else has noticed it. Could it be some malware
