OpenSUSE Install :: Keep Getting "abort Active Session"?
May 25, 2010
For a while now whenever I log off/shutdown I always get a dialogue asking me to abort an active session.Its a root user session on vt3. The strange thing is I can not get to that session for love nor money, going to tty3 I just have a login prompt, I've tried logging in and then logging out but whenever I go to close down again I always get the same dialogue.
I've only just noticed recently that on the login screen (KDE) In the Menu > Switch User dialogue I have the option to switch to a root session on vt3 or the current graphical session on vt7. Yes, I've tried switching to the session there on vt3 and again same as above when switching manually to tty3.
I've recently upgraded from 11.0 to 11.2 64-bit, this is one of the issues I was hoping to get rectified in the upgrade, but I think instead a setting/lock file must be causing confusion somewhere.

Outside of using something like screen, is it possible to 'assume' an active user session under Linux/UNIX?For example, I ssh to my server from home. Then I ssh to it form work. I want to kill the home-spawned session, and "take-over" all of the processes that it had running.

I'm in the process of converting my Windows NT server to an ubuntu server box. I've been testing the server edition in a virtual machine and I only have one problem.
My server computer doesn't have a screen and i was wondering if i can logon to the computer using remote desktop without an active logon session already in progress.
At the moment, I need to be logged on in the desktop environment before i can connect to the remote desktop service in Ubuntu. In Windows, you don't need to have an active logon session to connect remotely (so you can startup a session without needing a screen). I would like to have the same, so i don't need to run to server just to logon after restarting it.
It is probably some service i need to start on system boot, but well, i'm not that familiar yet with linux servers, at least not to do that kind of stuff.
My users would also like to have a visual interface (which is why i installed the ubuntu-desktop from the repository).

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've joined my box to an AD domain and set it to allow user logins via AD. In 11.2 I could choose my domain vs local login when X started up, in 11.4 I can not find that ability.

I think I've totally destroyed my Suse install, but I have no idea what happened.
I was running Yast's "Create a backup" utility and my screen totally went black and kicked me to the login screen. I was unable to log in, except to a terminal.
So, then I tried to restart X (by typing startx) and I get "Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0"
I've tried running the repair utility, and it doesn't work. Through a number of commands, I was able to start up a second X session, but that wasn't really much help.

I just reinstalled my OpenSuse 11.3 with the GNOME desktop. As soon as I was done installing and I was on a fresh desktop, I installed the Yast updates that were available, rebooted, and now I can't login to any of my User accounts. Whenever I try to login, it tells me that it is "Unable to Open Session".o any of you know how I can fix this without having to reinstall all over again

I am trying to update four OpenSUSE 10.3 servers. This worked once on one server, but I have been unable to repeat that success. I use yast's Online Update to select repositories, but at the end of the repository refresh they keep coming back with 'No active update source is available. Exit Online Update now?' I get this error:
Download failed: File /repodata/repomod.xml not found on media: [URL]
It appears to connect to remote repositories, but always fails. Is it realistic for me to expect to update 10.3, or is it a lost cause? I am not ready to jump to 11 yet, but I am required to update them. I am a newb, so I am not clear on the process. Are package versions locked in place for specific versions of OpenSUSE? If so, how can I find out what the final versions were for 10.3 so that I can at least tell my auditors that they are as up-to-date as they can be?

A few days ago my Laptop wouldn't hibernate in Windows 7, I managed to fix this problem by going into Windows' Disk Management tool and setting the C:/ Partition as the active partition, this fixed my hibernation issue, however I have just noticed that now when I boot my laptop my GRUB menu no longer appears, instead it just loads Windows straight away as if it was the only OS on my laptop.
I've confirmed it's something to do with my recent Disk Management change as I booted up GParted, removed the boot flag from Windows and when a rebooted my GRUB menu reappeared.
Not sure on how I can both have Windows as the active partition while being able to keep GRUB working also.
My Partition Setup is as follows:
/dev/sda1 C:/ Windows 7 (NTFS) (Boot Flag Set)
/dev/sda2 D:/ DATA (Documents and stuff) (NTFS)
Unallocated 1 MB
/dev/sda3 Extended 146.49 GB (LBA Flag Set)
/dev/sda5 Linux Swap 2.01 GB
/dev/sda6 ext4 20.00 GB
/dev/sda7 ext4 124.46 GB
Unallocated 10.00 MB
I'm running openSUSE 11.4

I'm convinced that mdadm is going to be the death of me. I've wasted numerous hours on this so far without luck.
OpenSuse 11.4 on an old Supermicro box, creating a software RAID1 array across 2 x IDE 500GB disks. Creating /dev/md0 as a 250MB partition across /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdd1 for /boot, another 465GB partition across /dev/sda2 and /dev/sdd2 as an LVM partition to hold volumes for the various other OS filesystems. After the initial installation and configuration there were a series of mishaps with faulty IDE cables that had drives failing to show up at boot. Somehow, /dev/sdd2 got configured to array /dev/md1 as a spare drive. And nothing I've done so far gets it to show up as an active drive.
The obvious step of failing the partition, removing it, then adding (or re-adding) will bring it back as a spare. I've tried roughly a dozen different permutations of those same steps. The latest was to 'dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdd2' to clear the partition. Thought this might be the trick - after the zero, mdadm -E /dev/sdd2 reported 'no superblock' and no md1 configuration.
So 'mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sdd2' and it still comes back as a spare. Here is mdadm -D /dev/md1
/dev/md1:
Version : 1.0
Creation Time : Sat Jul 9 10:26:01 2011
Raid Level : raid1
Array Size : 488119160 (465.51 GiB 499.83 GB)
code....
I can't stop this array, the OS is running from there. I can't easily boot from CD to repair, all IDE ports have disks attached.
Does anyone have an incantation to promote a spare to active?

I'm a new openSUSE user. Thought of giving some other distros a try, so I started with openSUSE.
I installed the Xfce packages and when I went to go install a panel plugin, it said that it needed to install some other stuff, including an update of xfce4-session to xfdesktop. After I did this, I could no longer see 'Xfce session' in the "Sessions" part of the log-in menu when I tried to log-in again.
What do I need to do to fix this issue?

I need some help install and configure my vnc session at my Opensuse.
Right now I have installed nx client which works fine and is listening on port 5901.
I also want vnc to use when I want to check exactly what is going on my work's computer (when I go home)
I am reading the tutorial here:
And I would like to ask you the following
1.
Code:
For VNC client connection remember to open ports 5901-> in the firewall. (1 port/Xsession.) nxserver is listening to 5901. How to configure vnc to listen to 5902.
2. The guide also refers that
Code:
Here we "Prestart" vnc sessions for specific users, therefore no login screen is presented. This uses more resources as the VNC Session is running even when no client is connected to the session watching it. But there in lies it's advantage, "watching a session" and "using a session" are not the same thing! This method is very usefull for starting long running programs before going home. Once home you can re-connect to the session and see how things are going.

I am currently running Suse 11.3. I continue to get the following error when logging into the KDE login manager with my user account
"Warning: Cannot open ConsoleKit session: Unable to open session. The name
org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit was not provided by any .service files."
After acknowledging the error, it resets back to the login manager screen. If I login with root, I get the same message, but it continues on and logins into the session

I usually shut down openSUSE in KDE by clicking the shutdown icon and selecting "Turn Off Computer". When I boot back into openSUSE, my session resumes automatically without it asking for my password.While I don't mind KDE resuming my session because it saves time, me not having to reenter my password is a security risk. How do I turn off the autologin?

I was working normally and the GUI just failed, all I could still see were any open windows. I rebooted the machine from tty1 and now I can't login anymore under my normal user accounts.
I enter my credentials, it appears to login, and immediately goes back to the login screen. Note that under tty1 I can still login with my user account and do everything.
I can still login with root in the gui.
/var/log/messages says this
Code:machine checkproc: checkproc: can not get session id for process 9839!

I've got a somewhat anemic box, resource-wise, set up in the office where any authorized user plus a guest account can log on. Guest is tightly restricted, but we get a lot of people passing through who need one-time or occasional access - this isn't the big problem. What's causing me problems is that a user will log in, walk away or go to the john and the screen locks. Next user (or this one comes back) and winds up doing another login. At the end of a week or so, I may have a couple of dozen sessions listed when I ask for "users". Since some of these session contain open applications they eat up an awful lot of a marginal amount of available memory. How do I kill the entire session (as root) for a user? Gotta be simple but it's not obvious to me.

I got a workstation with openSuse 10.3 pre-installed. After I did the Online Update from YaST2 and rebooted the machine as requested by YaST2, the system came to fail starting up an X session.
Below are excerpts of the message appeared on the screen at the end of the boot process. (I transcripted it from the screen by hand.)
Code:
Waiting for mandatory devices: eth1 __NSC__
10 9 8 7 5 4 3 2 1
eth1 devices: Intel Corporation 82573L Gigabit Ethernet Controller
eth1 DHCP4 client (dhcpcd) is running
[Code].....
what is causing the failure of the X session and how to fix the problem? I would be glad if you give me any hints or pointers.

I installed openSUSE 11.4 on HP elitebook 2560p few days ago (using KDE live CD). In general system is working fine, but steel I cannot resolve couple of really annoying issues: 1. I've created encrypted partitions for swap and home during OS installation. As result the system keep asking for passwords for each of encrypted partitions before show login screen. That leads to situation when I have to type 3 passwords during each boot/reboot. I was using the same configuration (swap and home were encrypted) on Ubuntu 11.04 and there both encrypted partitions were mount automatically with no password typing after login to the system. Could you please tell how I can configure the same behavior on openSUSE 11.4 ?
2. I've enabled auto screen lock after 5 mins being inactive. As result when I going back to laptop and to unlock the screen the system shows login screen (default login screen with user selection). But when user and password filled in I click login it creates entire new KDE session. Therefore all staff that was open before screen lock is gone. However old session is still in the system (it appears in output from 'w' command).

On my 11.3 desktop I was annoyed by what I thought was the screen saver locking my session after an idle period, requiring my password to unlock. Well, I didn't want this behaviour and it wasn't supposed to do that, I had disabled every place in the desktop configuration that seemed to be related. I even looked into the KDE4 rc files with a text editor and they all seemed to be in order.
Eventually after some searching I found the answer: It's the setting "lock screen on resume" in the advanced settings > power daemon. Once I turned it off, it was fine; this desktop doesn't need suspend+resume anyway.
It seems that this is not a case of counterintuitive naming; it seems that in some configurations there is a bug where a stray event can trigger a screen lock by the powersaved (?). I don't really understand it, but you can start your investigation here if you are interested:

I was about to test the new KDE 4.7 on my (default Gnome machine.) All I did was the following:
1. Add some repositories:
Core: Index of /repositories/KDE:/Release:/47/openSUSE_11.4
Extra: Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_47_openSUSE_11.4
2. Go in to Yast; Software Manager.
3. Change the dropbox originaly set to "Groups" in the upper left corner to "Pattern". Voila; There you have two nice and tidy options to check both "KDE Base System" and "KDE Desktop Environment" However: Once I check the KDE 4.7 Base System I get a dependency break. The missing part is "kdebase4-session >= 4.7.0".
Of course I can probably go out and find this somewhere else. But I thought it would be better to add it to the repository for future users. Maybe there is a legitimate reason for it to not be there at this moment - or maybe someone just forgot to put it there. Probably this is not an issue if you are upgrading from a previous KDE environment, maybe this package has been distributed before? This is probably not the correct place to put this info, what I really wanted to do was to send in a "bug report" or something similar.
Note: There is no Dependency break once checking "KDE Desktop Environment".

how to setup an Active/Active Load Balanced and High Available (If one of the nodes is down the system still runs) MySQL cluster. I have found quite a few howto's but I have some things unclear in my mind. I found a few solutions like this one: [URL] or this: [URK] Those are using two or four MySQL nodes, two Load Balancers to avoid a single point of failure but only one MySQL cluster management server. What happens if the MySQL cluster management fails?
I have also found a "MySQL Master-Master Circular Replication" technique but from what I read, with this option there is a chance that conflicts will arise if node A and node B both insert an auto-incrementing key on the same table.

After upgrading from 11.1 to 11.2 my gnome box starts with a message box stating "Could not acquire name on session bus" directly after the (successful) login.I'm not really sure which applications creates the message box since there is no title on the window.As far as I can see, the everything else on the desktop is fully operational.When investigating the problem I found some kind of recursive calls in the process table (ps -axf):
\_ /usr/bin/gnome-session

Is there any way to back out of and upgrade that is not going well, The original OS is still operable but of course synaptic wants the upgrade to continue. The upgrade stalled after packages were downloaded and about 45 to 90 seconds into the install/upgrade. Is there a way to convince synaptic to abort the upgrade?
