General :: Login Prompt Never Displays On RH Running In VM?

Jun 2, 2011

Linux version 2.6.18-194.el5 (mockbuild@x86-007.build.bos.redhat.com) (gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-48)) #1 SMP Tue Mar 16 21:52:43 EDT 2010Am using VWware ESX to host this guest operating system. When it clears post, the screen goes to the red background you typically see right before the login prompt comes up... but it never does. If the machine made it on the wire I can putty to it, but through deploying these, the machine isn't always on the wire and I need to be able to use VMware's viewer to gain access to it

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?

Slackware :: The Bash Prompt Displays Twice?

Feb 19, 2010

I'm playing around with my prompt, and for some reason under certain conditions part of the prompt is output twice.

- When my terminal window isn't maximized it always outputs the prompt correctly.

- When the window is maximized it outputs the prompt correctly when I enter an empty command (ie, when I just hit enter).

- When it is maximized and I enter any command, it outputs the second line of my prompt twice.

I'm using urxvt.. I tested in xterm and it seems to work correctly, so I guess it's an issue with urxvt. My prompt code:

Code:

#!/bin/bash
function redblue {
local BLUE="[33[0;34m]"
local RED="[33[0;31m]"
local LIGHT_RED="[33[1;31m]"

[code]....

General :: Command Prompt Ftp To Ftp Server Running On Windows?

Dec 27, 2010

I am using on Windows Vista, Filezilla server. I have it set up to be accessed via outside IPs and when I use a client on the IP I have it connects normally using Filezilla client. On the same machine I have Ubuntu running in a virtual box and when using filezilla client in there it works fine. Now I want to try the command prompt. So I do the ftp xxx.xxx.xx.xxI enter the name and password and i get the ftp command prompt, but the commands are not working properly. when trying "ls" or "cd" these commands do not work. "cd" tells me that the current directory is "/" root, but this does not make sense in the windows operating system. Now the filezilla client is taking the user in the application window directly to the root folder of the permitted filespace granted to that user. How can the same be done from the command prompt, if there is a way? It is as if the command prompt takes me to the root which does not exist or even have correct permissions to move in. Is there any way to be taken to the correct directory directly, or move there especially when the slashes are the wrong way around etc?

Nov 12, 2010

Kernel 2.6.21.5, Slackware 12.0 bash 3.1. I have several times tried to log into my linux box and have seen the password prompt written in upper case chars. Can this be caused by something located on the other side of my connexion? Or by malignous software resident in my hard disk?

Fedora :: Can't Login Into The Root Account: It Returns Me Immediately To The Login Prompt?

Jan 27, 2010

I just installed Fedora 12 on a laptop. I changed the default shell on the root account to /bin/tcsh and changed the runlevel to 3 and then rebooted. Now I can't login into the root account: it returns me immediately to the login prompt and I can't see any error message (the screen is cleared).Why is this happening?Can I boot into some sort of safe mode so I can undo my changes to the /etc/inittab and /etc/passwd file?I tried booting with a Live CD with the intention of mounting the filesystem and making the changes, but the new filesystem is a LVM and it won't let me mount it (or I don't know how to mount a Logical Volume).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: XBMCBuntu - Running 2 X Displays At Boot?

Jan 14, 2011

I have a Asus EEE Box EB1007-W0067 running as htpc in my livingroom. Due to the limited hardware in the box i'm running Ubuntu server with a minimal xorg-xserver installation. The system autoinlogs into the xbmc user and spawns a xserver only running XBMC. Slim,fast and no fuzz . So far i'm realy happy about the setup. 1080p? no problem.

However, since there is no Spotify Addon for XBMC yet (in development but still way to buggy to use in a none development enviroment) i have to fallback to running Spotify native. And here comes the problem; I can't start Spotify in XBMC because XBMC will run it in the background. And since my wife must be able to use the system i've to come out with something easy to use. Is it possible to make ubuntu-server to boot into 2 diffrent X-Displays. One running XBMC and one running Spotify, i think my wife (and others) would be able to switch displays with ctr-alt-F7/F8.

OpenSUSE Install :: 11.4 - Displays Blank Login Screen?

Aug 13, 2011

I have opensuse 11.4 installed with both gnome and kde. These are the things I did before the problem:

1. changed the login screen to oxygen login screen

2. Then I logged off and when again logging in, I chose the session as Metacity.

But unfortunately, the the blank splash screen appeared and it didnt get into the desktop. Then I did a hard restart (By pressing the power button). Since then, I cannot login. The login screen is blank left only a active mouse pointer. Even booting into failsafe also didnt work.

By the way, I have chosen the option of directly logging in without password prompt at login. (during installation)

Only a week before i did a clean install since i corrupted the grub, dont wanna install again.

Ubuntu :: Wrote A Script That Displays Last Login Times For All Users

May 24, 2010

After a lot of work, I think I have successfully written a script that displays the last login times of all users on a system. It gets the list of users from the directories in the /home folder and then finds the latest entry from the 'last' command for their login times. This may be a useful script for admins out there

I am not at all sure this is the best way of doing this or that there aren't ways that this script fails. At the moment, there are no users on my test system who haven't logged in so I am not actually sure that feature works. I imagine it does though. Please feel free to copy/use and/or criticize/correct. I would love it if we can make this script better. Take a look:

Ubuntu :: Plymouth Displays For About 1-2 Seconds Then Shows Login Screen?

Oct 28, 2010

Well this problem has been here since Lucid. When I start up my computer and select Ubuntu, I get a blinking underscore for about most of the start up time for Ubuntu. Then It quickly shows the nice Ubuntu Loading Screen (Plymouth) for about two seconds, then it gets to the login screen. I am using the Open Source ATI drivers, I believe the open drivers are called "radeon".

Ubuntu :: No UI Login Prompt At Startup ?

Jun 25, 2010

I don't get a UI login prompt at startup and it makes a sound. I'm using 10.04, though this did happen to me in 9.0x as well. When I press ctrl-alt-F1, I login and sudo gdm stop and do sudo startx this seems to put me at root and there is an error with the applets and the panel does not load. "Killall gnome-panel" does not fix it.

If I simply do startx (w/o going to root), it goes to a black screen and if I press ctrl-alt-F1 it repeats "No protocol specified" until I get the error message xinit: Resource file temporary unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to Xserver.

Ubuntu :: Possible To Change Login Prompt?

Dec 19, 2010

I managed to change the background by copying over a new image file to some directory. However, there is still the big boring login window. Is there any way to change that? I'd like something darker, and smaller. I copied over the image file to /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png My image file was actually a jpeg file, but copying it over to /usr/share/backgrounds/warty-final-ubuntu.png posed no problems.

Server :: Can't Log In Locally (keep Getting Login Prompt Over And Over) On Red Hat EL5?

Nov 19, 2010

We've set up a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server and can log into it remotely just fine (with root and other users), but if I try to log in locally with a keyboard and monitor connected to the machine, I keep being returned to the login prompt. If a login is incorrect, I get an error message, but if it is correct then the screen just blanks and shows the login prompt again.While booting the only error message that comes up has to do with SNMPD, so I don't think it's related.

I read this post on the forum which seemed like a similar problem but it didn't help (I wasn't getting the "Module is unknown" message he was). I also read another post somewhere that said he was having the problem because the server was trying to use AD to authenticate, but I checked that and it's not the case with our server.From what I'm told (I didn't set up the server myself) it used to work fine, but then "something" happened one day that made it do this.

Is running a command in the Alt+F2 prompt possible in a bash script?I need this for a launcher for gnome-shell.For it I have written a little script to check if the process gnome-shell is alive and act accordingly.The script works fine, I just don't know how to write "debugexit" to the Alt+F2 prompt, as that is the only decent way I have found to shut gnome-shell down and going back to gdm desktop smoothly.

i wonder if it is usual that the results of running commands via the command line is different from running them in a script file. my problem is that, i've to run 'modprobe -r e100' and 'modprobe e100' before suspend my machine via pmi in order to resume it properly. i wrote a script containg EXACTLY the same commands as i typed in the terminal/console but the result was not the same. the machine cannot be resumed as expected if i run the script file.

Fedora :: Include A Profile Pic Within The GUI Login Prompt For 11?

Nov 8, 2009

Is there a way to include a profile pic within the GUI login prompt for Fedora 11?

I have the profile pic set in the "About Me" configuration page, and this will show up in my toolbar in the upper right hand corner, but when I log out and go to select my login name from the list of users within the login prompt, I don't see my pic, just the generic user picture.

Is there a way to set this? I have multiple users using this machine. It would be nice if they can just visually scan for their picture to login with.

Fedora :: Automatic Login Without Password Prompt ?

Jun 19, 2010

I made my Fedora 13 box boot up automatically by adding the following to /etc/gdm/custom.conf

Code:

However, when it boots up it prompts me for my password so it can connect to my wireless network (I think it said something about not getting my user password at login). Is there anyway I can get it to remember this?

I would like to make this automatic because this will be a remote box that I will use as a file server, but it wont be turned on all the time. So I'll turn it on when I need it, but I'll need to connect to it remotely, so obviously it needs to be on the network.
