Fresh install of Ubuntu 10.04, Gnome session fails to start. Gnome-failsafe and XFCE work great. xsession-errors: [URL].... i also cannot switch between ttys, if i do video becomes blured to the point of unreadable. I think this is an issue with X. I have tried the generic kernel (non-pae) with noapic and apci=off with no results.

[Arch Linux] This has been mildly annoying ever since I installed Arch. From X, I can switch to any of my ttys, using Ctrl+Alt+FN. But when I'm in a console, that key combination does nothing, and I have to restart X11 to get back.

My SUSE installation used GNOME as its default GUI. I finally installed KDE 4 as well. How do I switch between them? Specifically, how can I get XDM or KDM with an option to select the GUI per user (like it is done on Solaris)?

Moreover, sometimes when I want to shutdown my laptop and click the shutdown button, suse do logout, but instead of turning off the laptop , it brings me to login screen, clicking the shutdown button at login screen makes my hdd lamp blink and thats all.

View 3 Replies View RelatedAfter a crash I cannot log in to the GNOME environment anymore, after entering the password the login animation is being displayed for a while and then screen returns to gdm. GNOME failsafe works fine. I don't know what information may be useful to debug this problem. ~/.xsession-errors contains
Code:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI want to set up Ubuntu on an Acer Aspire One but want to go with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix version. At times though I may want to use the standard Gnome interface.
Is it possible for me to use both? I don't mean with dual booting but since UNR is like another desktop is it possible to switch between UNR and Gnome on Ubuntu?
I just recently upgraded to Natty and I'm having a fairly annoying issue with Gnome and Fluxbox. There will be random intervals where I'll hit the enter key and my desktop environment will just quit out without any warning. Now this is becoming a huge nuisance because I use time tracking software for work and I essentially lose time because once the environment crashes, the time is not saved.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have searched the web, tried getting support on IRC, and even tried some drastic measures that I came up with on-the-fly, but could not get satisfactory results.After installing the 2.6.31-20 kernel, I have noticed, that virtual terminals ( or whatever should I call those. The ones that are accessed by ctrl+alt+[function_key]) stopped loading. When I open any of them I only see a cursor and nothing else. I can take almost no actions: the only two things that actually work are changing between terminals and ctrl+alt+delete.
Eventually, I gave figured out, that this happens because getty is not launched automatically. After running appropriate command, each terminal can be recreated for the current session. Tried fixing this by creating a script that would run that command on each startup, but could not actually make the script to be executed (I tried making rc to run it, as I need these terminals to be present when GUI is not yet activated).Right now, I see two possible solutions: either make them autoload like they are supposed to, or work out a way for that script to be ran on startup. So, any ideas?Ah, yes. Also, the GDM now loads on tty2. Will it give me problems if it continues like that?
I've just installed F14 64bit on my desktop and I tried to run Open Office Writer. As a result, GNOME crashed and the rendering of the desktop was messed up. I had to force a reboot, and now everytime I login the Open Office recover dialog causes a crash again. I suppose it has something to do with the opensource nvdia drivers and OO.o's toolkit but I can't look at it with the crash-on-login thingy there (I suppose I can install the closed source drivers from a tty now that I am thinking it again....)

Uh... actually I can't install the closed source drivers. Yum finds no mirrors for rpmfusion >(
...or the Fedora repos :
I just installed opensuse11.4 from a livecd and would like to know how to change between the distros. Not sure if I worded that right seeing as i am not 100 percent clear what a distro is. This is my first day ever on linux.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a really weird problem, when I play any ..... video, gnome crashes. I've tried other similar services, and everything works just fine. As soon any ..... video starts, gui crashes, audio actually keeps on going and I get some weird picture on screen that keeps on blinking. I've tried searching around for a similar problem, but couldn't find anything.
I tried looking in /var/log/messages, and tried looking into dmesh, kerneloops...but no luck.
Any idea how to start troubleshooting this?
Ever since I upgraded to Natty / 11.04, the quality of my desktop experience has dropped sharply.
One thing that effect me greatly is that I can no longer conveniently switch my network proxy on or off system-wide with single click.
Back in Maverick / 10.10, I could launch gnome-network-properties and switch it back and forth depends rather I am at work or at home.
I have found a similar application, "gnome-control-center network," on the surface of it, it seems to replace "gnome-network-properties" in Maverick. Except that this application doesn't seems do ANYTHING.
As result, I am having the hardest time switching my proxy settings, as I have to do so per application basis (gpodder, pidgin, aptitude, thunderbird / firefox, etc).
ps. I am using Gnome "classic" but Gnome 3 suffers the same issue
i was about to install fedora i had checked first and then when i reenter the disk to install it on hdd it shows me gnome bug error and some kind of crash but the desktop was ready with 2 bug it says gnome crash and other i didnt remember ..so what you say , should i install using that cd or i have to recreate a cd with fedora 14.i m using win7 already i wanna dualboot

When I'm using KDE, and I switch to a tty I have to use Ctrl-Alt-F*. When I do, it switches to the tty and after that I can't switch back to X or any other tty.
