OpenSUSE :: Can't Shutdown After Configuring The Session Manager?
Aug 16, 2009
I use:
OpenSuse 11.1 with KDE.
I wish: no session restoring on login and no confirmation dialog on logout � i.e. OpenSuse should never ask me, if I click on �shutdown� and always start with new session.
I do: So, in �System Settings� -> �Advanced�-Tab -> �Session Manager� I choose follow options:
General:
NO Confirm Logout
NO Offer shutdown option
On Login:
YES Start with an empty session
Default shutdown option:
YES Turn off computer
(finally, it goes disabled)
The problem is:Now I can't shutdown my computer by clicking the �Shutdown� in main menu. I can click it hundred times � nothing happens. Could anybody explain me, why???
As an experiment:If I choose �YES Confirm Logout� and click the �Shutdown�, I will see the confirmation dialog, but with only one option - �Logout�.

Is there a session manager I can use with 10.10? I would like to try Openbox but am not sure how to select it as a startup session. I would like to be able to choose between kde, gnome and openbox.

I tested 10.10 LIVE CD Gnome version.
I did some disk operations on NTFS and FAT volumes.
It worked well.
When I wanted to shutdown from the right upper corner icon,
I got a black screen saying:
(process:272) GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
it does not take any keyboard, incl cont+alt+del
may it be a bug?

I've been beating my head against this one for a few months.I have FF set to start show a blank page at startup - yet it remembers all my previous sessions instead. I've been through the about:config page to try and fix it, but it still won't start fresh after a shutdown.

Hello - installed 10.04 yesterday, Had previously dabbled, trying to switch over to Ubuntu full time now. Wanted to access the session manager, but when I scroll to System/Preferences, there is no entry for it, or for the startup programs manager. Also, I'm getting the following error when attempting to open the "windows" entry: Failed to execute child process "gnome-window-properties" (No such file or directory)
Did I somehow botch something in gnome which is now leading to the absence of the session manager as well as the inability to launch the "windows" manager?

For some reason the shutdown/hibernate/logout options has disappeared from the Indicator session. I can still set my status in EmpathyI have tried reverting to gnome panel defaults (gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel), removing and readding and I've checked synaptics and it seems I have everything indicator-related installed.

I have a question regarding runlevels, shutdown procedure and KDM. I am on a freshly installed Slackware64 13.37 multilib system. The default runlevel in /etc/inittab is set to 3: multiuser w/o X.
Now, I log in as root and issue the command:
Code:
As expected, KDM starts up, and I log in to KDE (or another WM/DE) as a normal users. When I am finished, I either issues
Code:
In Konsole or click on Shutdown in the KDE menu. The shutdown process is initiated, as expected, but then it stops, and a window alerts me, that there is a session open by user 'root'. If I click OK, the machine is finally shut down.
Now, if I interpret this correctly, the behaviour of Slackware64 13.37 has changed here, compared to 13.1. In previous versions, the root seesion was closed, when I changed the runlevel to 4 with the telinit command. Now, the session remains open, obviously.
My question is: Is this the correct behaviour, and isn't this a security whole? An unnoticed (!) open root session while I am surfing the web as an unprivileged user in KDE could be dangerous, I think...
Is it misconfiguration in my system, or is this the way it should be?

I did a live upgrade from 11.3 KDE and observe a following issue.When I press the shutdown button on the laptop it initiates the shutdown and shuts down fine but after a significant delay of time (something like 30 seconds). When I click the shutdown button in KDE it initiates the shutdown instantly. This was not the case in 11.3 where the shutdown worked the same regardless of the method that triggered it

I installed OpenSUSE and it seems to have installed multiple desktop environments. I only need one environment and don't much care for the flexibility of others as it is a drain on my HDD space.
Problem is that uninstalling one seems to conflict with anothers dependencies and I'm unsure if removing configuration packages with one environment is going to adversely affect another environment. Said packages being like gnome keyring manager or like programs that pertain to interfaces for hardware settings and configuration.
I began to uninstall Gnome, and it just started trying to change everything about Kde4, and when it said Yast and keyring manager I was unsure if I should continue, even letting Yast decide what to do. Numerous of the programs I installed also would have been broken such as gstreamer codecs, google programs, gimp, everything had to change from attempting to remove the Gnome Desktop.
I would prefer to have no remnants of any environment except for KDE.

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)

Code:
startx -- :1
kde runs automatically on it. How can I open a graphic session without a window manager?

I have been updating my system and making a few changes and now I have a serious problem with GNOME (as far a I understand). In the Desktop if I try to start some applications such as the text editor gedit it crashes and won't start. Some applictions start from the menu some don't (e.g. services) and others start and then crash if I try to example manipulate them (e.g. open a file in openoffice).
In the case of gedit if I try to run it from the command line as root I get the following
# gedit
(gedit:6475): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.Illegal instruction [code]....
When I try to start the services (i.e. /usr/bin/system-config-services) I get:

I lost my kde session manager (for kde3 and kde4), and now Kubuntu 9.10 only will boot to run level 3. This occurred when I used the synaptic package manager to remove all the kde 3 desktop, to then allow an upgrade to Kubuntu 10.04 version, due to a error message about that kde3. I was able to log into either kde 3 or 4 before this, so what do I type in that text mode run level 3 to fix this issue, and to have my KDE session manager back working ? Or do I now need to install a fresh Kubuntu 10.04 with only KDE 4.?

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?

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.

I have upgraded my netbook system to lenny. I got almost every thing working right except gnome-power-manager shutdown event. It shows critical battery level (red color) on its applet on the panel but it does not do the normal safe shutdown action. Instead, it just do a sudden shutdown of the system which causes the lose of some data. Is there any way to solve this issue using lenny's current version (2.22.1-4)?My netbook is AcerOne.

Have you guys had this weird nautilus error? When I su to root and run "nautilus" in terminal, errors popped out:
Code: (nautilus:3979): EggSMClient-WARNING **: Failed to connect to the session manager: None of the authentication protocols specified are supported(nautilus:3979): Eel-WARNING **: GConf error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ 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 installed slackware 12.1 from files i downloaded and converted to cd (images). There are six "disks" i downloaded from the slackware site and converted to images via a homemade .cmd in windows xp and then burned using imgburn.
I partitioned my hd (canibalized from an acquaintance's emachine and connected it to my desktop (1G ram, 2Ghz processor). Booted from disk 1 and fomatted the 80G HD for 2 partitions of linuxswapable at 2G apeice and 2 partitions of bootable linux. (Because i want to try another distro later). I ran the setup installing most everything and all seemed to go well. After i exited setup and restarted, it identifed the cd/hd as normal and then went into some sort of recovery mode with the emachine logo call pcangel, after which it tells me.
STOP: c0000021a (fatal system error) The session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000003a (0x00000000 0x00000000). the system has been shut down. So, is this indeed an xp error message, and if so, why am i getting it after formatting everything?

After a discussion we had at my LUG tonight, I wanted to find out where Ubuntu stored that choice so as to make it my default choice.I looked in /etc/gdm, /etc/X11, and in various hidden files and directories in my home directory but could not find a likely suspect for further interrogation.

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?
