General :: Vncserver Keeps Launching In Failsafe With No Errors Being Generated?
Dec 14, 2010
I installed VMWare Server 2 and while configuring itI decided to perform a reboot as it kept generating errors.When my server came back upwill only launch my vncserver in twm (failsafe) mode.I have checked for any kind of errors and there are noneIn the same location I have another linux box which is identical and it works fine. I have compared everything and cant seem to figure out what is causing this.I manually uninstalled VMWare server using yum and the problem is still there
I am running ubuntu 10.04 . I recently installed gmate plugin package for gedit. It was working like a charm then. The next day I did a large update & when I launched gedit from console again, it was throwing tons of warning errors & assertion failures for every action. Though I could do all things without any obstruction.I deselected all the plugins & launched it again- this time it worked clean. I have resinstalled gedit & gmate packages but still with plugins on , I get dirty console screen.
I installed Ubuntu 10.10 on a clean drive afyer an issue with 10.04 I couldn't resolve. The attched screen shot shows the error that happens when I launch Firefox. WHat is it, and how do I correct it. I can't find a setting for SSL or anything that might be turned off in firefox, so I guess it's an UBUNTU thing?
I used the cmd "vncserver" to start a vnc session, and it created a log file like this "/root/.vnc/linux-vzra:2.log". As time going on, the file "/root/.vnc/linux-vzra:2.log" became bigger and bigger, it is too huge indeed. How can I start a vnc session without a log file?
I have installed package tigervnc-1.0.0-3.fc12.i686, but when I am trying to start it: service vncserver start it comes back with following message: vncserver: unrecognized service.
I am running redhat ent linux 3.0 with oracle database . Recently , I got a problem,perhaps some temporary files are created automatically and occupied my HDD . But I cannot find which files are created autamatically . Is there any way or any os related log file so that I can find that which files are generated automatically OR how can I trace it from OS perspective? I have to check oracle related tmp,trace and log file in every folder.
while loading the generated lib file to tcl module i got following as belowi know it is searching for "Tcl_DecrRefCount()" method please tell me the library name where above method is defined..!orif anything bad in my program
When I run '# sudo touch newfile' my expectation was that the file would be owned by me, not by root, as my understanding of sudo is that it is giving me, the user, root priviledges but does not actually switch the user.Do I have a fundamental misunderstanding of what sudo is about?
I have installed CPAN module Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, to generate some reports. Now when i execute my perl module from command line. it works fine and generates the excel file. When i put this module to be executed via cron, it doenst work and an email is generated. My entry in cron tab is as follows:2 14 * * * perl /scripts/postpaidRecon/postpaid.plThe email i receive in /var/spool/mail/root for module failure is:
I've search around and looked at the man page but can't seem to figure this out.. using fluxbox one can click an application in the menu and it opens without a supporting terminal. However, if I open xpdf in the terminal, xpdf launches and the terminal waits for it to exit... my question is, what is the command to hide the terminal and just launch the application?
I'm a little confuse regarding how one launches tmux. When I launch my terminal (current gnome-terminal), I would like to have tmux up and running. I'm currently doing this by calling "tmux" in my .zshenv (kind of like .bashrc in bash). This does in fact launch tmux, but has some annoying side effects. First, hitting Ctrl-D to exit the shell, only kills tmux, and leaves the tmux-less gnome-terminal still running. An additional Ctrl-D will kill that as well. Second, when ssh into a box with this setup, I get a second, nested instance of tmux. I don't want tmux to launch again when I ssh. Is this the right approach, how should tmux be launched usually?
I have just installed Apache2 v. 2.2.17 on Ubuntu,and I am trying to get it to work with Ruby (v 1.8.7). I have followed the instructions on the Ubuntu site and ended up installing Phusion Passenger v 3.0.7, making the suggested changes to the httpd.conf file.
When I launch Apache2 I now get the message:
Cannot load /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so into server: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/passenger-3.0.7/ext/apache2/mod_passenger.so: undefined symbol: ap_get_server_banner
I have found a bug report (url) that suggests "adding a dependency" but am not sure how to do that. Any kind soul out there can take pity of this eager Linux neophyte?
All seems to be fine, the build and install is successful, but launching xorg fails. The log shows, well not what it use to since my last attempt. Now it is trying to load several other drivers before it defaults to the vesa driver. But that may not be the case if I reenable xorg.conf. It was saying something about not being able to "open" the nvidia module. Not that it was not there but it was not able to read it, like the permissions were not right. I checked the permissions and they are 644. A different debian install I have on the same machine has those same permissions.
After the latest update manager was run. Skype no longer appears in my panel when launched. A window opens to log in, but if I close that window skype disappears instead of minimizing to the panel like it used to. When I click the launcher it tells me there is another instance of skype running. (oh really?) Where?
xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &
The xterm window flashes for a moment and then terminates. Exactly the same result is encountered with:
a) xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;"" (as suggested in man xterm)
b)giving an alias in .bashrc to: sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" and running: xterm -e alias
c)giving: xterm -e echo "something"
d)using: konsole -e sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" &
If a launch sqlite3 with:
xterm -e sqlite3 /path/to/database &
The xterm window launches with no problem and sqlite3 opens the database as expected. If I enter "SELECT * FROM TABLE;" every thing works as expected and I get the correct result.
The same applies if I launch xterm with: xterm & and then: sqlite3 /path/to/database "SELECT *FROM TABLE;" to the command line.I sometimes use xterm -e to launch applications to a separate window and never had the slightest problem. I suspect it might be a bash thing (konsole and echo not working as well as above stated) and not an xterm thing. I made a search in man bash for quoting and backslashing but it didn't bright up things.
When I try to launch application which runs in another window (not inside shell), it always fails with this kind of message: (example from gnome-terminal)
Code:
** (gnome-terminal:2477): WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported Failed to get the session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
Falling back to non-factory mode. Failed to summon the GConf demon; exiting. Failed to contact configuration server; the most common cause is a missing or misconfigured D-Bus session bus daemon. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.) I am running it as root, have GNOME installed and running, and also fresh install of gconf.
I just added 8 additional vncserver sessions(Xvnc) (using a well-documented procedure my predecessor used) to my RH Enterprise 2.4.21-4 (OK it went by fast) server. This brings the number of session listed in my /etc/sysconfig/vncservers file to ~32. Applications and terminals now seem to choose if they will open or not in the Xvnc session and not all sessions start at boot. I can start them manually, and they will work, but then they stop working properly. You can open a session, view the active desktop, click on menus and associated drop-down items to try and open apps, but the apps/terminals just won't open. Is there a limit to the number Xvnc Sessions that can be managed? If so, what is it? This happens whether I try to connect from a Winddows box or another Linux box.
I'm using fedora8.I installed spark on my machine,when i launch that through terminal,it is opening perfectly.But when i open application launcher or creating custom application on panel it was not working.All other shortcuts like,thunderbird,firefox are opening except spark.
I'm running a server that boots into runlevel 3. I can ssh into it but I only get a blank screen when I try to connect to the vncserver that's running on it. Is it possible to connect to a vncserver that's running on runlevel 3 or does X have to be running for the vnc to work?
I'm new to Linux. I'm trying to install the VNCserver using SSH connection in a remote pc with Fedora 13. I would like to access the Gnome through remote connection. I did the setup Iptables freeing ports 5901 and 5902. Also set up vncserver and user. The user "aquiles" is a user of the system and also the vncserver. The problem is that I am not able to start the service. I think that seen anything related to Perl. Displays the following error:
[Root @ sinahome ~] # service vncserver start Starting VNC server: 1: aquiles/usr/bin/env: perl: No such file or directory [FAILED] The file /etc/sysconfig/vncservers Vncservers = "1: aquiles' VNCSERVERARGS [1] = "-geometry 800x600-depth 16"

I am trying to VNC into a server to which I have no physical access (but I can ask someone to start a session or something) but can ssh into. I have gotten a VNC session working by sshing in and running vncserver, although once the VNC session died in a confusing manner.
I don't know how to start a VNC session any way but vncserver, which is odd since I'm sure that Ubuntu's Remote desktop should somehow allow me to do this by default. The server by the way is being used as a desktop by someone else. Also, how do I tell if my VNC is encrypted and if it isn't how do I make sure it is?
I'm a little new to Slackware so maybe this isn't the right way to initiate vncserver on boot, but here's what I've got. The last two lines in my rc.local are:
the second line runs successfully on boot, but the first line doesn't. However, after I am logged on, I can execute /etc/rc.d/rc.local and both lines will run successfully. Does the system need to be fully logged on to start the vncserver, or should I start it elsewhere other than rc.local?
how can I make vncserver starts on boot? Realvnc was installed by "apt-get install vnc-server" command. There in NO start-stop script in /etc/init.d/ (is it ok? ), so I can't use update-rc.d. When placing vncserver or /bin/bash -c "cd /root/ && vncserver :1" 2> /tmp/vncstart & in rc.local it starts nothing but "vncpasswd //.vnc/passwd" (and YES, there is password in /root/.vnc/passwd)
I am currently using FC10 on a Dell 4600 with 2GB of ram. I love Linux as it is the most stable OS around. My end goal is to have the machine boot and start the vncserver automatically, eventually using an ssh tunnel to make it secure. My main problem is the vncserver is not starting on boot, I must login as a user then it works great. the error I get is
[Code]....
Basically what happens is the vncserver fails on boot however, if I login to the Fedora box I am able to connect and I get the GDM login screen. I have read many, many posts but have not been able to get over the boot issue. I really want to make this a headless box I can put in another room so I have more room for my musical gear.
