General :: Make X Login Window As Default In Knoppix Version 6.2.1?
Dec 26, 2010
i'm beginner in linux and don't know how to resolve my problem in knoppix i have installed knoppix version 6.2.1 in my system recently and when i turn on my computer , knoppix runs as compize fusion and don't show username and password screen to me . i searched alot in interent and found that that screen called GDM or KDM and i have them and when i run GDM in command i see the login screen in my system . but i don't know how to make it my default window when i turn on my computer .
i had tried to install ubuntu karmic koala and recently unbuntu TLS 10.04 along with windows 7 but every time i login the screen freezes. i dont know the details, my PC consists of a 160gb HDD, 1gb RAM with pentium dual core processor. i even tried knoppix live cd version. is this because ubuntu is installed along with windows?
I finally waded through all the graphical issues that have been reported when upgrading 10.10 to 11.04. I've managed to get the nvidia drivers installed and working (even though Jockey still reports that nvidia-current is installed but has not been activated).Whenever I log into an Ubuntu Classic session, GNOME defaults to using metacity as the window manager. In order to get my compiz effects working, I have to open a terminal and do "compiz --replace". After that, everything appears to work normally including on screen notifications, the cube, etc.
I've though of including a "compiz --replace" script in Startup Applications as a possible workaround, but is there a better way to handle not having compiz started by default? Is there something in gconf-editor or similar that I can edit in order to make GNOME default to using compiz?
Every time I try to run another script from my knoppix.sh file, it pops up and says permission denied. I've also tried running the scripts manually after stopping the knoppix.sh script yet it still gives the same error.
i'm not sure for using the correct channel here but i hope someone out there can answer my little questions. 1st in older version i was able to change the settings of the terminal look as the font color, background color and so on. I was also able to define a default window size of a new terminal window. But since after upgrading to to the first release this year and a complete new installation of the current release Maverick i do not find this option anymore. Is there a way how to set up the terminal default window size?
I have installed wxPython on my Ubuntu 9.10. But when I type "import wxPython" in "python environment it returns the following error.It tries to run the previously installed one not the new one. (The new version is 2.6).Does it need a PATH to be added in ".bashrc"? If so what should I write as a PATH for it?

I am trying to change my login screen, but under System/Administration, I only see Login Screen, not Login Window. Login Screen only lets me set the default user, not the login theme. Is there a hidden way to access Login Window that I'm missing?
I v been trying to make a pop up window or form for my user once they get to my index page then a form comes in the middle of the screen asking questions . also i want a pop up form to pop up when some one is trying to exit my page to pop up
How can I make a window span over both monitors? I have the monitors configured using the KDE monitor setting tool. I need specifically full-screen (for presentation purposes) or at least a maximized window. Kwin insists on locking the window on one desktop.interestingly it really is Kwin preventing me to do this. If I get rid of KDE and just launch a plain X session, the window maximizes correctly.
Way back from Windows 3.x days to the latest 64bit Windows 7 (classic/standard theme)there is a way to make the window edge border wider then 1 pixel.I often use 3 to 5 pixel to make it easy to grab on hi-resolutions displays and hi DPI monitors.There doesn't seem to be an easy or obvious way to do this with the Gnome X-Windowing system?
Currently i am running fedora 13 with KDE and I get bore seeing blue login screen. I tried to change it under System Settings->Advance->Login Window , but it doesnt work.
I have GShutdown 0.2 on ubuntu .when i put it on with some time it is just restarting the session and going directly to login window. "sudo shutdown -P -- --" is working properly so why the GShutdown 0.2 is not??
I have a habbit of openning a 2 sessions of xwindow (I'm using KDE), one as user to browse the internet and the other as root to do some admin work. But someone told me that login to KDE as root is bad in terms of security. Is this true?
I want to make my system load in GUI to login. I set Login Manager in KDE, and found in google inittab. There maybe I have to change run level from 3 to 4 (X11 with KDE), but I am not sure to change the file. I am afraid to broke my system. Do I have to change run level in inittab to boot in GUI?Other way is to make image of the partition and to try it...
in maverick the default package installer (when I double click on a .deb) is Ubuntu Software Centre, how can I make the default package installer from lucid (was it called "dpkg"?) the default again? Ubuntu Software Centre is too slow and freezes every time I click on something, can it be replaced?
I am setting up a thin client boot (over NFS) with x2go thinclient. So far everything works, the client boots over PXE, mounts the NFS dir on the server. But the x2go thinclient system does not install properly. I end up with a CLI prompt, to log in. It does not start X, not does it start the x2go client in a window managerless X session.
X2go is, in case you don't know it yet, a cool Linux X terminal session system, very much like Nomachines NXserver. I like it very much, since my experience, especially with freenx has not been good.
Now I am missing some Linux knowhow here: I know that after startup (the CLI part), the display manager is started (GDM or KDM), which starts the X server and shows the graphical login. Now since X2go does not properly setup and there is no documentation about the thinclient part, I will set it up myself.
I need the system to boot up, startx and then immediately start an X program (x2goclient), without having to log in before.
I found that putting a .xsession file in to the users home dir causes that script to be run when you invoke startx.But when I put startx in a script that runs as the last one in the runlevel (as in S05startx), it does not run at all.
What is the proper way to run X and a program on it directly, right at startup?
when i start an application it usually places it in the upper left corner or lower right corner or something like that.. but never in the middle of my screen. How can I configure GNOME to always open applications in the middle of my screen..?
I have a dual boot PC, installed Win XP first, then Centos 5.5 While installing Centos, I set Centos as default. So at boot up time, it does give a choice of selecting from the two if pressed any key, otherwise boots Centos. Now I wish to set it in such a way that Windows is the default OS to boot.
My grub.conf file:--
# grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You do not have a /boot partition.
I have used Ubuntu since 7-4; I now have 10.4. However, in the last week I have been taken to the login screen three times. This could be potentially calamitous. Ctrl+Alt +Backspace have by default been disable since 9-4. There is no way I am pressing atl+Prtscr +K. I wonder if there is a new zap command in 10.4, and if so, how to disable it. I have never found the need to go back back to the login window. I am generally using the command line when doing this.
When I first started with Fedora I tried a dual boot situation to see if Fedora 13 was going to meet my needs. After being totally satisfied I deleted Windows from my computer. How can I get Fedora to also occupy all the disk space Windows once occupied? I have a 15 GB USB drive to work with if needed.
I have a CentOS running. It is important to have my CentOS available when I am remotely connected to a VPN router. I tried to add a default gateway to the VPN router, but after reboot it goes away. How can i put this as permanent?
