OpenSUSE :: Can't Get Gnome-session To Work In Vncserver
Dec 10, 2010
I have followed the instructions at TightVNC (VNC Xvnc) on openSUSE as Client or Server (Remote Desktop Connections). I have also successfully configured vnc servers to use both Gnome and KDE on many machines; this is the first time I've had trouble.
Here is my xstartup file:
#!/bin/sh
[ -r $HOME/.Xresources ] && xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
vncconfig -iconic &
#xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
[Code]....

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?

When i logged into a gnome desktop i got this message: "The GNOME session manager was unable to read file:'/home/(desktop name)/ICEauthority'. If this file exists it must be readable by you for GNOME to work properly. try logging in with failsafe session and removing the file." What commands do i use for that? or do i need to do something else?

I'm currently building a ubuntu distro and would like to run a script on GNOME startup. I've read about doing it through the session manager but I have to do it through chroot so I'll need to set it up as a terminal command. Is there a way to add an item to the Session Manager from terminal or, even better, a directory where I can put the script so it will run on start?

OpenSUSE11.2 (x86_64)
KDE 4.3.5
My normal windowing operations are fine. I have no problems running parallel kde desktop sessions (1 user, 1 root), switching back and forth with ease. I have been able to get vnc remote connections to work, but the only desktop environment I can get to run twm. When I try to start kde it fails with:
startkde: Starting up...
kdeinit4: preparing to launch /usr/lib64/libkdeinit4_klauncher.so
kdeinit4: Communication error with launcher. Exiting!
Communication error with KInit.
startkde: Could not start ksmserver. Check your installation.
Which is weird because:
> which ksmserver
/usr/bin/ksmserver
I have this in my .vnc xstartup:
#!/bin/sh
xrdb $HOME/.Xresources
xsetroot -solid grey
xterm -geometry 80x24+10+10 -ls -title "$VNCDESKTOP Desktop" &
/usr/bin/startkde
I've read several related vnc threads. It appears to me I have a more general X11 setup failure, but at this point I'm lost.

dear, in centos / fedora, I can config to start a permanent vnc session by setting the /etc/sysconfig/vncserver file when the system starts. Is there any similar configuration in opensuse which give me a permanent session?

I have updated GNOME 3 and it no longer works. Having suspected extensions the problem I have manually uninstalled all extensions via command line. This got me to log in instead of the problem screen. However, the desktop is entirely unresponsive, after log in it no longer responds to anything, although the mouse still tracks.

I add a "command line" or "mini-commander" applet to the panel in gnome, but nothing happens.
If I launch "/usr/lib/mini_commander_applet" on a terminal, I get a dozen such applets, for all the times I tried, but then I have an xterm tied up.
If I launch the same from "alt-f2" it does not work, and gives no error.

I have bought a generic gamepad from China quite a while ago, which worked well on Windows XP (it's HID-compliant). However, after finally being able to switch back to OpenSuSE, I now find that I can't get it to work.
I am currently running OpenSuSE 11.3, with GNOME. I've used the "modprobe joydev" command, and if I run lsusb, I get the following:
Code:
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 004: ID eb1a:2571 eMPIA Technology, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 058f:6362 Alcor Micro Corp. Hi-Speed 21-in-1 Flash Card Reader/Writer (Internal/External)
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0c0b:b136 Dura Micro, Inc. (Acomdata)
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID e0ff:0002
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 06a3:8021 Saitek PLC Eclipse II Keyboard
Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0079:0006 DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick
The last one is my gamepad, and it's apparently pretty well-known. I have also tried the "cat /dev/input/js1" trick, and it does indeed show garbage when I press buttons or move the analog sticks, so in fact it should be functioning properly. However, I can't get it work. In Tux Racer it simply doesn't recognize any joystick/gamepad, and Racer (the simulator) tells me that 0 joysticks have been found.
I have been searching for a solution for quite a while now, but all topics seem to be outdated (older OpenSuSE versions, listing commands that don't exist and are nowhere to be found...)
how to get this gamepad to work? Even if it means without the analog sticks, if it at least works a bit (I'll just do without the vibration, which is apparently very hard to get to work under Linux).

I have installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my Sony Vaio netbook. I want to be able to log into a Gnome session as an alternative to UNR. The main reason for wanting to do this is to be able to add some applets to the panel which I use a lot. This is not possible in UNR, which is really irritating! However, I really like UNR otherwise, so don't want to just install standard version.
Synaptic shows that Gnome is not installed, but when I try to install it, I get this error message:
gnome: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed
I tried uninstalling Epiphany, which I sometime use instead of Firefox, but still got the error. I installed Ubuntu-Desktop, but when I select "Gnome" from the session menue at the bottom of the login page, it just logs into UNR session.
How do I install Gnome desktop so that I can log into a Gnome session?

I have recently been pulling my hair out with Gnome-Shell. I had Gnome3 including the shell up and running as soon as it was ready in the stable repos. However it recently refused to work after the update to 3.0.1 hit the stable repository. Today I did a complete reinstall of OpenSUSE 11.4 from the gnome desktop CD, NVIDIA drivers are correctly installed and working. Gnome3 has been installed via the one-click method on top of this FRESH install. Yet still my gnome-shell freezes after login, I am running in fallback mode now. Really cannot see what can have gone wrong this time, nothing out of the ordinary has been knowingly installed at all. I'd really love to get my desktop up and running to how it used to be.

Gnome sessions started hanging during login on a debian lenny box, and I can only think it's related to a recent package update as it was working fine before the last set. It affects all user accounts and hangs before the applications menu or any icons appear on the panels, but after after the top /bottom panels and the desktop background appears.

I'm having issues logging into my system... After authenticating via GDM, the screen goes black with only the mouse showing and remains this way indefinitely. At first the hard disk is active to a similar degree as it was when logins were successful, but then the system (apart from being able to move the mouse) is unresponsive.
If left for long enough so that the screen goes into power-saving mode, moving the mouse brings up the unlock dialogue that you normally get if you set your computer to lock itself after a period of idleness.
I suspect some sort of file corruption, as I have not changed any settings recently. I have forced checks on all of my disks in the hope it would solve this problem. I have also tested logging in on a freshly created user account I created which gives the same result. Also, starting an xterm session from GDM works fine.

The following message comes up when I boot up: Logging in user Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 0. When I press OK, the system completes the start up and everything looks normal. But when I try to connect to internet, I get the following message:
KNetworkManager cannot start because the installation is misconfigured. System DBUS policy does not allow it to provide user settings; contact your system administrator or distribution. KNetworkManager will not start automatically in future. If I reboot the system, I logg in successfully. So far the problem has appeared approximately upon every second time I boot up. Rebooting the system seems to take care of it.
Don't know what info is of interest. I'm using
Opensuse 11.2
KDE 4.4.2 (Factory)
After upgrade from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 it worked fine for a week or so.

How can I add a text session besides kde and gnome at startup?
I know that modifying /etc/inittab to level 3 will do this job, but I want the text desktop to be a session option at starrtup. Is it possible?

I've got two ubuntu machines and i want to connect via ssh into a existing gnome session. (or a new one if that is possible) VNC works fine(well slow and unresponsive) but when trying ssh i get problems. After som trial and error(some permissions on host, i did sudo startx and screwed up) i logged in and could start xterm. Anyway now i want to use gnome, so i wrote "gnome-session" - something i read would work but i got ALOT of errors.
Code:
gnome-session[6094]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'nautilus' of required component 'filemanager'
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6104): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6104): WARNING **: Unable to start xsettings manager: Could not initialize xsettings manager.

I have both a mac and ubuntu box sitting on my desk. I work on the mac and access the ubuntu box over ssh.Often I need the point-and-click interface of the ubuntu box, at which point I run gnome-session. The problem is that the top and bottom menu bars fill the full size available to them, which can cause me problems (I use two different-sized screens and the barsget hidden), and overall it looks very messy. I would therefore like to confine the gnome-session to a window, much like you get with vnc (or parallels if you're running a virtual ubuntu session).

I just installed 10.04.1 i386 into a friend's computer, but I can't properly log in! Every time I type the password into the login screen to start Gnome Session, it goes right back into the login screen! FAILSAFE Gnome and XTerm works, but the normal Gnome does not.

This is regarding the 'screen' utility. I use an utility called 'HummingBird Exceed' to get the XSession of a linux client on my windows desktop (basically it uses XDMCP). But the pain is that at the end of the day, when I close Exceed, the session gets destroyed. I did lot of searching on the web to know how the save and restore session in Exceed, but failed. However, I found that 'screen' is the utility which keeps the session intact even when you logout. So, I did the following:
a. Logged into the machine using Putty (terminal emulator).
b. Started 'screen'.
c. Issued the command: /usr/bin/gnome-session
I got the XSession on the Exceed and started working. I opened three or four gnome-terminals. But when I logout of exceed(and detach from the screen), the screen displayed a message saying that 'Connection to XServer was lost". Hence I could not restore to this session when I reattached to the screen. how do I use 'screen' so that when I attach to the screen on which I had started gnome-session, it attempts to connect to the Xserver and open the session as it was before detaching?

I installed jessie from a beta/rc shortly before release on my MacBook Pro 13 Retina and have kept it up to-date with apt-get dist-upgrade. Rcently gdm3/gnome-session have stopped working together. When I log in the screen goes black for a couple of seconds then goes back to the login screen. This happens with "System Default", "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME", but not with "GNOME on Wayland". However, Wayland seems to have some other issues. I haven't tried an alternative dm yet, eg lightdm, but the GNOME desktop does work when started with startx.
I've just used journalctl to get logs of what gdm3 and gnome-session were doing at the time. After booting I waited until the clock reached the next minute (19:55) so I'd know at which point in the logs I'd hit enter on my password. I'll post the gdm log separately in two chunks because the forum server doesn't seem to like text attachments and they're too long for one post.
Log from gnome-session:
Code: Select all-- Logs begin at Thu 2015-05-07 19:54:06 CEST, end at Thu 2015-05-07 19:56:41 CEST. --

Is it possible to run the GNOME session manager but not have a window manager? It would also be nice to have a panel (or at least a status notification area) that was in a window, rather than a title-bar less menu bar.
The reason I want this is that I'm using my Mac's X server and logging into a VM running Fedora on the same host. And I've noticed some things, like the ability to use USB tethering, depend on a D-Bus session being active, and possibly the NetworkManager widget in the panel.
From IRC - #gnome:<borschty> ok, then go to gconf-editor somewhere under /desktop/session there should be something like "required_components" and remove window-manager from that list. You could use something like wmctrl to change the window-type of the panel, but a) that might break stuff and b)
