General :: Login Window Dies When User Authentication Dies
Mar 8, 2011
Am trying to set up a new system but am getting some strange behavoir. I've administered an Irix system before. I have opensuse 11.3 installed with gnome running. When i enter a bad user id in the windows login screen, the bad authentication causes the x window manager to crash and leaves the system in the ascii terminal mode login. I then have to login as root and do an init 3 , then init 5 to get the x server started again an get the windows login started. Has any one seen this behavior before and how can i fix this. Been hunting through /etc/X11/xdm to see what startup scripts could be causing this.
I'm trying to run an RSYNC job that keeps hanging without any error messages. When I started monitoring traffic with WireShark, I found that RSYNC runs without problems for a few minutes, then starts generating endless TCP ZeroWindow warnings and eventually dies with TCP Window Full error.Has anyone seen this before?PS: I should mention that I don't know much about remote system and I'm not using SSH, just pure RSYNC.
When I logout on kubuntu my xserver dies and I have to start x again manually from console. Im not to kubuntu 10.10 and I tried to check out /etc/X11/xorg.conf but its not there. on reboot xserver starts automatically. I am using opensource drivers and video card is radeon x700 pro
I survived a disk crash and had to re-install to a new(er) disk, now, the JRE is in line to be set up. It's installed according to the instructions...so when I test (using Runescape, for example) I get this traceQuote:
java.lang.NullPointerException at java.io.FileDescriptor.incrementAndGetUseCount(Unknown Source) at java.io.FileInputStream.<init>(Unknown Source)

i want to recover mysql database at least, but a don't know what to do.... how a fsck get damaged SO
My bluetooth manager is dying every few minutes or even every few couple of seconds. This happens when i'm using bluetooth mouse. Mouse works correctly cause i've tested it in windows. In the attachment there is dmesg output. In dmesg i keep geting lines like:
Quote: [ 1463.864082] usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 10 [ 1463.864601] btusb_intr_complete: hci0 urb eddf2900 failed to resubmit (19)
followed by reconnecting both, USB dongle and mouse. Then it works for a while and dies again, over and over. It also happens when mouse it idle (no matter if 5 seconds or 5 minutes).[URL]..
I have two servers, both running Ubuntu 11.04 Server. One is a web server, running only a LAMP stack and openssh-server. The other is running server daemons for TeamSpeak and Minecraft. Today, the game server just went down. I can access the LAN by using SSH to connect to the web server, and ping it from there. However, it won't respond to SSH or anything else. The server is a few kilometers from here, so I will be going there tomorrow.
This happened once before, probably about a month ago or something. That time, the web server was running just fine, but the game server was powered off. I thought there had been a power disruption, because when I checked the BIOS settings of the game server, it wasn't set to resume after AC power loss. The web server was set to do this, so it made sense that it would be up and running again after a brief power loss. There were also some news reports about power disruptions in my area.
The thing is, I changed the BIOS settings of the game server to make sure this wouldn't happen again. When I go there tomorrow, I will bring the server back up. However, I would like to know what caused this so that I may prevent it from occurring again. Is there a logfile or something that I can check tomorrow to find the problem?
I followed this guide for my Acer Aspire One A150, and got wireless and suspend working fine:[URL]pendtoRAMThe only problem is that wireless is dead after resuming from suspend. I have to type:/etc/init.d/networking restart and after that everything works just fine and I get internet again.Is there a way to automate that process on resuming from suspend, so that I won`t have to type it manually each time?
My computer starts up and, usually, gets to a desktop (I can login). If I click on a folder to open it, the computer just dies. No power at all. Sometimes it doesnt even make it through the boot up stage, just stopping before getting to grub. This happens in F10 and F13, whether the grub is on the harddrive or a USB key. I'm thinking that I might need a new power supply, but I'm also wondering if I might have fried the CPU, which ran for several days at 50 or so degrees, (for sensor one on the little gnome panel applet). But it did go over 60 a couple of times and die from overheating. These higher temperatures were achieved by running CPU intense software, with the cores in use running at 100% each. The higher temperatures were from running it with all four cores.
Just upgraded from 11.2 and after some trials and tribulations with my video driver I'm almost fully functional.When I start Sketchup it dies immediately with the following error:~> wine C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 8\SketchUp.exeerr:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception code c0000094 flags 0 addr 0xf778515a
Suse 11.2 - KDE 4.3.5. I have only one sound card. The only Pulse software that is installed is libpulse0 and libxine1-pulse. All sound applications work. Amarok, vlc, kaffeine, Skype etc. But then every say 6th. or 7th. boot the sound dies. On everything. Even the startup melody. When I go to Yast>Hardware>Sound everything looks in order but the test on the card makes no sound. But if I delete the active card then re-enable it everything works again.
I saved the working /etc files as *.works and ran the following script...
The only difference was a slight volume difference in asound.state (23 vs 27).
I thought I might try to diagnose it by doing a file search for file changes in the last 5 minutes immediately after I run the Yast re-enable.
I just loaded 11.2 & Kde 4.3. Installed both Kinternet and Kppp. My modem is a USR PCI HW modem 2976. Hardware Info shows it connected to /dev/ttyS4. I configured the modem with Yast as modem0. The user access box is checked for Kinternet Both Kppp and and Kinternet will dial out.
The connect response comes back from the ISP and either of the dialers will hang and the dial tone comes back. The firewall is showing modem0 in the External section. Nothing changes if I shut the firewall off.There's nothing in the dmesg I could find. Could this be a pppd permission problem?
Whenever I use Ubuntu, the internet seemingly dies out randomly. It never does this for windows 7. Could it be the router coincidentally dying, or is it a problem with Ubuntu?
I don't want to 'spam', (I had started a first thread about this some time ago), but I'm (still) experiencing problems with my internet: I can use the internet (I am connected through a simple switch) for some time, that is: surf the internet (in firefox) and download using vuze (azureus) but after some time, the internet connection 'dies' (downloadspeeds jump to 0b/s and I am not able to surf to any site in firefox). When that happens, the only 'solution' to this is restarting my pc.
I first experienced this when using ubuntu 10.04, so I thought that it was a 10.04 issue. I knew that when I had ubuntu 9.10 (karmic koala) installed, this didn't happen. So today, I installed karmic koala, but much to my surprise I am experiencing the same problem. I used 'lspci' to find out what NIC is in my pc and I found out I have the following NIC: 00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 78 ) I'm suspecting the NIC to be the problem. Is this probable? If so, I want to buy a add-in network card (simple one, not a gigabit card)
This can't be duplicated by anything specific, but I know it's not out of RAM at this point. The console keyboard and mouse are inoperational, and the monitor display seems to be going through test patterns, which turns out to be that the monitor is trying to sync to video output which is switching on about once a second. I can ssh into the box and see that many processes that were running are no longer running, for example gnome-session... and that once per second there is a new X process invoked with a different auth-for-gem parameter, per below:
We have a NAS application which can be accessed by both HTTP and HTTPS connections.
The issue we are facing is that the tcp server instance that initiates the HTTP access dies after a few hours of inactivity(the NAS application was kept idle for around 10 hours). However, the tcpserver that launches HTTPS connections remained running.So the connection failed through HTTP access but the connection succeeded through HTTPS access.
The converse has also been observed where the tcpserver for HTTPS is dead but tcpserver for HTTP is running.
The version of tcpserver that we are using here is ucspi-tcp-0.88.tar.gz.
I have the following queries:
a)Has anyone faced the same problem before?
b)Is it an issue with this package version of tcpserver ?
c)Will upgrading to newer versions of tcpserver bail me out of the issue?
d)Also, could anyone let me know what are the possible causes for the tcpserver to die ?
Got a Zimbra server FOSS edition running on CentOS5.5. Everything was running fine until couple of days just found out that web administration interface just does not give the proper status. Web console says that none of the services are running which infact is not true. Only service that is not running is logger. This is the zmcontrol status output
Just the logger service is not running all the others are. But web admin interface shows all are stopped. Also it can be seen that zmlogswatchctl is not running. Starting it manually does not do any good. It does not start and it dies out by itself.I tried to google and found a couple of bugs related to logger and web interface but those were old and should have been done in this version 6.
I have a computer that running Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS. Consistently after a couple hours the X desktop and GDM dies. It works fine on my other computers but this computer is an intel 2.4 GHz, 1.5 GB. This can't be duplicated by anything specific, but I know it's not out of RAM at this point. The console keyboard and mouse are inoperational, and the monitor display seems to be going through test patterns, which turns out to be that the monitor is trying to sync to video output which is switching on about once a second.

I have a java processing running as a system service using a shell script to launch it. It runs under a user other than root via sudo The process runs just fine but seems to die sometimes for no apparent reason. When the process is killed normally (via service stop), it fires a shutdown hook in java and you can see the process going away. What I see in the log now is nothing the process just dies. When I checked the system.log I found at the same time this:
Code: messages:Mar 2 19:43:22 beta_web gconfd (sifagent-16786): starting (version 2.14.0), pid 16786 user 'sifagent' messages:Mar 2 19:43:22 beta_web gconfd (sifagent-16786): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only configuration source at position 0 messages:Mar 2 19:43:22 beta_web gconfd (sifagent-16786): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/home/sifagent//.gconf" to a writable configuration source at position 1
I updated my CentOS 5 box recently. But after then my Apache can no longer work; every time I try to start apache, it says started OK but then dies immediately and no error message at all. When I tried 'apachectl restartI', it says apache not running. It has been running fine before the update. I've looked at /var/log/httpd.log but there is not any message about my problem.
I am running a recently built Debian 'Lenny' system 5.0.4.I used the gui install and asked for desktop/file server/ I created a raid 1 systemsing two similar drives.Finally I set up some samba shares to use from my (wife's) windows PC. I wanted to use PC names rather than IP adresses to access the shares so activated wins.My Debian system, called arcturus, did not appear in windows network places. After much trial and error and googling found that the nmbd service had stopped.'/etc/init.d/samba restart' reported nmbd not present, stopped smbd and then restarted both. My networking then all came to life.There is a Ubuntu forum discussion around this subject and the consensus seems that the samba daemons are starting before the network is properly established. I have installed a work-around by putting the restart line in /etc/rc.local.But I'm concerned that I have some kind of configuration error.The following is a section of my log.nmbd after setting logging to level 3:-
I'm having a really weird, annoying problem: approximately every 10 hours, like clockwork, my internet connection stops working. (Last time I had the presence of mind to check the uptime: it was 9 hours 48 minutes; this was maybe 5-10 minutes after it happened). My existing connections (IRC, etc.) keep working fine, I can access my home router's configuration page, and `ping` still works, but otherwise new connections invariably time out (whether it's a web browser, git/subversion, or whatever). I have found no solution to this other than rebooting.
I am running 9.10 on a HP Compaq. Every few days X will die. The screen goes blank and will not display anything. I have to SSH in, but even trying various commands like gdm restart does not help. I eventually have to reboot the box. Below is a snippet (hopefully not too large) of dmesg:
/dev/sr0 on /media/cdrom0 is a CDROM, but I dont think thats the issue.

I recently installed the vt6656 wireless pci card that came with my zotac motherboard. I can associate with my ap and get an ip address successfully. When I disconnect my ethernet cable, however, my wireless interface stops responding (can't ping it). The box itself is in a place where I don't have a monitor connected to it so I cant see anything since my ssh session gets killed as soon as I disconnect the ethernet cable.
What would be the reason why the ehternet cable being unplugged, disconnects my wifi card as well? Does something get triggered? I did some testing with iptables, blocking the 8080 traffic to the wired interface, and noticed that the 8080 traffic also gets blocked to the wifi ip. I'm afraid that this never worked properly to begin with.
After installing (not upgrading) Ubuntu 10.04 official release, there is a problem with skype latest version. Sometime Skype dies, and it is impossible to restart it (only killall -9, and then launching), if im trying quit all skype windows turning gray and thats all. Messages that are sending to others are not sent, and also opponents can't send messages to me. It was OK with same skype version in ubuntu 9.10.
I installed 10.04 Server. Then I did an apt-get install Ubuntu-desktop. The display is black. The monitor is receiving no signal (amber led). I believe that the install has stopped, but what am I supposed to do.?
It has been happening to me since I started to use this laptop from the company for a linux test bed. Several times a day, when I do something from the command line, for example running an application connecting to another host on the internet, etc,it comes to a freeze and does not come out of it. I can not do anything else than a forced reboot from the power button, because the keyboard and the mouse do not respond. This work laptop is a lenovo W500, running on ubuntu jaunty, release 9.04. I have not encountered this problem before with my personal laptop though. My person laptop is a lenovo X61s, running on ubuntu karmic, release 9.10Should I reinstall the work laptop with some other version of ubuntu? Could it be some hardware problem ? What tools should I use to diagnose
