OpenSUSE :: KDE 4.5 Logoff & Shutdown Does Not Work / Solve This?
Jan 29, 2011
I'm running OS 11.3x64, KDE 4.5.
After running updates yesterday (Friday) now the Shutdown and Log Off buttons don't work in KDE. This happens with the taskbar buttons, and in the Leave menu. The only way out now is to ALT+F1 into a console, log in as root, and run shutdown. The system will shutdown at that point, but it's pretty inconvenient. I'm using the login manager that installs with KDE (can't remember the name) since Gnome was installed as a secondary desktop.

Where can I put commands which should be executed just before
- logoff
- shutdown
I think there must be somewhere an opposite script to
.initrc
or
.bashrc

I have followed the posted instructions on the "restricted formats" as specified in the stickie on the forum.
When I insert an audio CD, I can see the mp3/ folder in KDE with the tracks on the CD, but whenever I try to copy one of the mp3 files from the folder I get a VERY wide error messagebox stating that lame threw an error.
[When I use the command line tool "ripit" - the mp3s are generated without problems, so I assume all my encoders are working.]
Copying an ogg file with the KDE audiocd integration works fine, but unfortunately ogg is not supported on an iPod, and since ripping CDs through a VM with iTunes takes forever and a day, I want to rip the mp3 files and then copy to the VM so I can use iTunes to sync them to the iPod (sigh).
And yes, I would prefer to use Amarok to sync to the iPod directly but I made the mistake of buying an iPod recently and I've found that the 5/6th gens don't work (and probably never will) due to the hash encryption.

For the past few days, my Ubuntu server (it is a desktop that functions as a server, Desktop installed) have been very slow.
Today, it stopped responding to ping, I could not SSH into it (once, I managed to come so far that it asked for my password, but I got timed out) and I could not connect via VNC.
I switched it off, to boot it up again. Post completed, and the screen went black, before the white text "Read Error" appeared on the screen.
I shut it down again, waited a minute or so, before switching it back on. This time, the "read error" did not show up. The "text only" startup for Ubuntu showed up, so I hoped it was all okay. It turned out it wasnt.
I have some pictures:

The top lines are code...
Any ideas on what could be the issue here, and how to fix it?

When I clicked the shutdown button through the menu, the computer seem to do not respond. And the command line works well.

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

Last night I shut down my computer and left, since it goes automatically after I tell it to shut down. This morning, my computer was still on, with some shutdown messages like "Stopping MySQL server mysqld" and such.
The last line said "deactivating swap..." and didn't appear to be doing anything. code...

I'm a total NOOB and I just finished a dual boot Ubunutu Studio 9.10 64bit/Windows 7 x64 install on a brand new i7 PC using a WD10EARS hard drive (with the new Advanced Format) and I gave myself top marks for getting by the mammoth amount of obstacles to accomplish what I have so far.
Item of note: you can NOT do a complete install with Ubuntu Studio 9.10 using a wireless device. The installer ONLY recognizes motherboard ethernet ports. No worries, I moved it to the office and the LAN line and got a complete install. I am using this in my living room though as a Media PC with MythTV and the distance requires me to use WIRELESS.
After a successful install, I was unable to get my brand new, out of box Netgear WG111v3 to establish a successful connection and I need your help. Pardon the length of this post, I will try to organize it as best as I can but I have done a LOT of troubleshooting before posting here. Here's what I did so far:
1. Tested Wireless in Win7 on same PC. Works GREAT! Rebooted, went into Ubuntu Studio 9.10 and got no joy.
2. This page says the WG111v3 works out of box with Karmic and I can state with 100% certainty it does NOT.
3. Went to this page (which is THE best how to out there) and followed instructions. I discovered a bug in wpa_passphrase immediately. I use a very complex passphrase using !#$&@ characters in the mix. wpa_passphrase dies with various errors when it sees these characters because it thinks they're command items rather than part of the text in my key. Try it yourself. Create any long text string with those characters and input it to wpa_passphrase. It dies. Works fine with regular letters/numbers. I had to use this page to get the HEX value for my passphrase so I could complete my interfaces file. On a hunch, I changed my passphrase on the router to be a simple 10 letter word all in lower case. wpa_passphrase changed that to HEX fine, updated interfaces file, rebooted router and PC and got nothing. So it's NOT the passphrase.
4. Went to this page, which again states it works out of box but doesn't and tried all the help there. NO JOY.
5. Tried here too. The help there is good when combined with #2 above but still nothing.
6. Went to unsupported versions of Ubuntu to try some old school tricks. Got nothing.
7. Found this site and it has EXACTLY my problem! I always end up with "No working leases in persistent database - sleeping." when it tries to get an IP address from the router. As you can see, that user found no fix either.
8. I turned off ALL security on the router and left it wide open, updated my interfaces file appropriately, rebooted everything and it still couldn't connect?

Sometimes my Ubuntu keeps hanging when Unity crashes, or due to some other reason.
Logging out and logging in again seems to solve this problem, but sometimes I cannot even access the terminal from the Desktop.
Is there any command that I can use from the console so that my session at the desktop environment ends and I log out?
I already tried gnome-session-save --logout but it doesn't work

I work for a public school and we are implementing a number of Ubuntu NBR 9.1 netbooks. I wanted to use Likewise Active Directory for authentication, but have problems with the software so now I'm onto another solution for our problem.
We are going to have one login for all users (Students, is the name). The problem with this is that Website passwords can inadvertantly be stored, potentially compromising users personal data. Additionally, I don't want to have any files left in the Students profile in case people accidentally save personal information in their files.I'm thinking there are potentially two solutions:
1. The Students profile is deleted when the user logs off. This will erase web history and files
2. The Students account is always logged in with a temporary profile (or no profile, if that is possible) that deletes itself at logoff because it is temporary.
I'm having a hard time coming up with search terms for a solution like this, so I thought I would put the question to the experts.

I previously had my Virtual Box install of Ubuntu set to have the Network via "host-Only Adapter". But recently I needed to get on the internet on that install, so I changed it to "NAT" and restarted. It still cannot get on the internet! How can I fix this?
Some notes:
1. I have other virtual box installs that CAN get on the internet
2. This one was able to get on the internet prior to setting it to "host only adapter"

I'm not sure what I did if anything but I have not used my opensuse for several months. Now when I try to connect to the Internet I can not pull any websites. The wireless connection is active and connected. I am getting an IP address via dhcp. When I try and ping out (opensuse.org) I get unknown host. If I ping an IP address or type the IP in my browser it works fine. nslookup works but only if I specify the dns server.
Here is a copy of my troubleshooting commands.code...

I can use this at the end of bash_profile to autorun start x after logging on. code...
But what about to auto logout after killing the X session? I hit exit from fluxbox, but I could add a menu item I suppose to just kill the xsession. Wondering if there is a graceful way to do it with bash_profile.
Also, on a related note, if I switch to dash with the bash_profile method still work?

I've setup pam_usb to allow me to log in with just my usb drive. This works fine, save for one issue. When I log in using pam_usb, my session dies abruptly if I unplug the usb drive.I am _not_ runing pamusb-agent.It seems like there may be some issue with policykit, but I'm not sure./var/log/auth.log:

I am using Ubuntu as the client machine operating system. I have a start up program to connect to a Windows terminal Server. I am needing assistance in how I can force the client to logoff if the terminal connection is terminated for any reason. This is more of a security issue as we do not want the students using the computer to access the loacl machine at all. The program works great on boot, but it shows the home screen when terminated.

I have installed Ubuntu as wubi (next to windows 7). When I expect the computer to shut down (either to hibernate or as part of, you know, shutdown), it doesn't. All the programs end, I am logged out, but I still have a picture on the screen (ubuntu default picture).
