Ubuntu / Apple :: PowerPC 9.10 - Numerous Gnome Errors After Logging In
Feb 20, 2010
I'm getting numerous Gnome errors after logging in... Previously everything was working fine; perhaps a software update messed things up? I have looked around for potential solutions, but none that I have tried have made any difference. The errors I get are: The panel encountered a problem while loading:
[code].....
how I can fix this? This is Ubuntu 9.10 PowrePC installed on a PowerBook G4 -- I'd really love to be able to see the battery level remaining (and seeing the time would be nice, too ).

I'm curious; for a current project a server has 4 network interfaces (eth0 and eth2 are in a bonded pair using the bonding module, and then eth1 is being used for management, while eth3 is currently unused but may be utilized for iscsi in the future).
We need to configure two different hostnames, one for the bonded pair (bond0) and one for eth1. Now I have been googling around to try and figure out how the heck this is done but I can't find much of anything. In some methods it mentions using the hostname command, however this isn't persistant after reboot.
Another mentions just editing the /etc/hosts file but I thought that was only used locally? Both bond0 and eth1 will be on separate VLANs with different DNS servers, so it needs to end up with two different FQDN's

how to get the Eclipse IDE to work on powerpc? I have Ubuntu 10.10 installed on an eMac G4 1.25, and installed eclipse CDT from the repos, which pulled in a ton of stuff with it. Starting eclipse results in nothing but the initial splash screen. A process called Java takes the top spot in the task list and sits there burning up CPU to max it out at 100%. It appears stuck there for good. It is a pretty virgin system except for the automatic updates. It was just installed yesterday.

finally just got ubuntu to install on my emac a1002, I had to use the powerpc version. The install went fine, it restarted and loaded ubuntu, but after it loads goes to a blank black screen. And I imagine it sits there forever, yet I've only left if for about 5mins or so. The emac is from 2003, and has a 1ghz processor (Powerpc) and has 256mb ram.

I have a first gen mac mini g4 with a non-functioning cdrom drive and no mac os installation in place. I'm attempting to install natty (really any ubuntu OS that will work) through an external usb drive. The only functional machine at my disposal for preparing and partitioning the external usb drive is a seperate intel ubuntu box. I understand that I need to create an Apple_Bootstrap partition with yaboot installed inside so openfirmware can recognize the usb drive as bootable.
how do I create an Apple_Bootstrap partition on my external usb drive through a regular x86 ubuntu box? is "mac-disk" or pdisk commands available for x86 machines if not how or where could I find software to do the job?

I've just tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 on my powerpc. It installed fine, and booted first time ok, but since restarting it just seems to boot into a black screen. My monitor says 'going to sleep mode'
I don't think it's hanging on anything, as I can hear sounds if I play around with the keyboard. Could this be something to do with the resolution being too high? If so, can anyone tell me how I go about changing this?

I recently tried Fedora on my laptop (previously Debian; I was bored one day) and gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest) warned me that my hard drive had numerous bad sectors. I re-installed Debian to find that this software was installed before so why had it not warned me?
When I load the disk utility, it says SMART is not available. I've got smartmontools installed, I can run a self-test with smartctl but I don't think this shows bad sectors. I've tried starting smartd on startup but the disk utility never changes from "SMART is not available". It is possible for it to work with this hardware as it works in Fedora on this laptop; any ideas?

I've been trying to set up MintPPC on my girlfriend's old iBook. I started with the debian squeeze installation from a burned cd. Everything went fine and i booted into the new system.
No matter what I try to install I get that error, with different sectors each time. I can install .debs using dpkg just fine, I can compile source code. apt-get just won't work.I've been reading about this for hours, and the machine is currently running e2fsck -c on the main filesystem. It is a more or less never ending stream of those errors with a few that reference task_pio_intr rather than dma_intr thrown in for good measure.I've been reading for hours but I haven't found anything on the google or forums that matches my problem(or atleast not that I could understand).
From my research I've tried hdparm to change the DMA mode, slower and faster and no luck, removing the .bins in one of the apt folders, and reinstalling debian.I've read the posts I could find on here, and mostly the problem seemed to be intermittent for them. For me it is only when I use apt-get, and now apparently e2fsck(badblocks). It happens every single time with apt, I can't use it to install anything. But i've done plenty of other file operations without a bump.Any suggestions would be most welcome! Especially an in depth explanation of what that message means. I'm happy to do my own research and work, I just have no idea what's going on!

I have an oracle database that is getting file i/o errors. I don't think it is the fault of oracle, but the nfs mounted filesystems. So ... to troubleshoot my next step is to see if Linux is having trouble with i/o. These are nfs mounted and there are many files located on the filesystem which is having the error. The error only occurs on one file.Does anyone know how to turn on logging for any errors received? I assume I need need logging for nfs daemon, but not sure. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

This happens once in a while: I'm happily surfing the Internet, working or doing anything else and suddenly Gnome logs off. That's a pain in the *** really.

When my wife tries to login to her computer, Gnome usually freezes. Nothing in Gnome responds to the mouse or keyboard and all I can do is go to a console and restart gdm. I can always log into Gnome under my username. I am not sure how to troubleshoot this problem. Presumably it is something in the startup apps or a config file. The quick and dirty method would be to create another user and move her data but this would be a lot of work and the problem might come back.
I have a suspicion that it is related to gnome-keyring. This is because (against my advice) she insisted on an automatic login without entering a password. This was a waste of time as gnome-keyring promptly complained and demanded a password. Many times I changed her settings to ask for a login password but it does not always change the behaviour. When it tries to log in automatically without a password Gnome locks up around the time that gnome-keyring asks for its password. The default language for her is Portuguese and mine is English if that makes any difference.

Some days ago (2015-09-28) I installed Debian testing amd64. Log in as a user failed and instead of the Gnome UI there was a sad face with the text: „Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem occurred and the system can't recover.
All extensions have been disabled as a precaution. Log out“.
The relevant output of journalctl (run as root) said:
etc/gdm3/Xsession[5379]: cannot connect to brltty at :0
- /etc/gdm3/Xsession[5379]: Service 'org.kde.kaccessibleapp' does not exist.
- gnome-session[5379]: x-session-manager[5379]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 5
- gnome-session[5379]: x-session-manager[5379]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly
- x-session-manager[5379]: Unrecoverable failure in required component gnome-shell.desktop
[Code] ...
After some investigating, I found three work-arounds.
(1) Use gdm3-autologin: In /etc/gdm3/daemon.conf, remove the double crosses and insert own user name
AutomaticLoginEnable = true
AutomaticLogin = <own user name>
Disadvantage: Only one user can have access to the Gnome ui. If you log out, you enter the gdm3 greeter and … see above.
(2) Turn off gdm3 by running 'systemctl stop gdm3' as root, log in into a terminal as a user and run startx.
(3) Install package lightdm and make it to the standard display manager with 'dpkg-reconfigure lightdm'.
Disadvantage: Energy manager and screensaver settings of the Gnome control center are ignored.
The easiest way, however, especially if there are several users, is logging in via the gdm3 greeter.

I boosted the FSB of my CPU by 10%, the system is very stable. But CPU-G & the task-bar applets in Ubuntu don't recognize it. They show the current MHz as the standard freq, not the freq +10% (ie 3520 vs 3200).
It isn't a big problem, just curious why and if there is a fix. The only program I can find that works is CPU-Z in Windows 7.

I have ran the regular apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and it pulls in newer versions of the liquorix kernel pretty often. Now whenever I boot up my system, I notice that there are now about three different 2.6.36.dmz liquorix kernels installed (I can't remember the exact numberings on that).
How can I remove all versions of the liquorix kernel except for the latest?

A couple of days ago on my Fujitsu Laptop which was nearing its end (in about 2 more years, I'll have to send it to the scrap pile) I had a GNOME Power Configuration error. This is the story of my struggles and my thread of cries for help: I was booting after installing an update for Maverick Meerkat, and I got a message during the load screen that said: INSTALLATION PROBLEM: The configuration defaults for Gnome Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please Contact your system administrator.
So I dropped into GRUB During my 5th boot (while trying to boot once more in hopes it was just a boot error) and I selected the latest/updated version of Ubuntu, but I dropped into the recovery mode version so I could attempt some commands to try and fix it. Then, I dropped into the root terminal to attempt more commands to avoid specifying my networking device, and typing sudo before the commands. I got on my alternate computer and searched my problem. I installed a whole bunch of crappy commands that didn't do anything, and ended up purging GNOME completely and doing:

Whenever I try opening the Gnome Activity Journal from Applications > Accessories > Gnome Activity Journal, it doesn't open, nothing shows up, and not even in the System Monitor. So I took a different route, by opening it from the Terminal, to see if it gave me anything, and when I type in 'gnome-activity-journal' it spits this out at me:

This is the error I get when removing gnome-session:
alex@alex:~$ sudo apt-get remove gnome-session
Reading package lists... Done

Reading state information... Done
You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
ubuntu-desktop : Depends: gnome-session but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: banshee-extension-ubuntuonemusicstore but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: gnome-accessibility-themes but it is not going to be installed
Recommends: ubuntuone-client-gnome but it is not going to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
And this is what happens when I do apt-get -f install:
alex@alex:~$ sudo apt-get -f install

I have made numerous audio CD's with Brasero, but recently I had to make one and mid way through the burning process I am given this error: Could not decode stream. Or some variation like that. It ruins the cd and after I get the error I can not eject the disc.

I just preupgraded from Fedora 14 to 15 on my Toshiba NB205 netbook (the preupgrade went smoothly by the way).
Immediately upon logging in, I discovered catastrophically poor quality of font rendering in every terminal window program I tried, (and I checked plenty like LilyTerm, Sakura, gnome-terminal, etc) and in web-browsers.
The symptoms are the same for all applications: the glyphs are very thin, anorectic, and very ugly.
The described behavior is desktop independent: same in Gnome (3 and the fallback mode), fluxbox, Openbox.

I have a large number of scanned JPG images that I would like to convert into a single PDF file -- each image will be on its own page, and I want the pages to be in a certain order.What is the command for ImageMagick to take a batch of JPGs and convert them to PDF, and order the pages in a certain way.
(by the way: I am working on writing a Gentoo ebuild for convert2pdf at the moment, but until I get that worked out, I'd like to figure out how to do this using Imagemagick, which is already in the portage tree, and already installed)

I'm running 2.6.35 on a macbook Air. Since Hal is being deprecated I got rid of it but now I cannot control brightness with the keyboard.Looking at the code on gnome-power-manager, if it doesn't find hal it defaults to xrandr, but I couldn't find a way of controlling brightness with xrandr. Also, I don't see any keybindings on XF86MonBrightness{Down,UP} with gnome-keybindings-properties.I'm loading mactel's nvidia_bl module which creates /sys/class/backlight/nvidia_backlight and from there I can just adjust brightness by editing the corresponding file.

I'm running a 13" white Macbook. The keyboard worked fine, until today. I logged in and half the keys didn't work, the other half were numbers not the letters they were supposed to be. This started after log in, meaning I was able to enter my password properly: The problem starts when gnome boots up.
By copy and pasting, I installed Kubuntu, where the keyboard also works properly, so this is clearly a gnome problem. I haven't ruled out malicious software, which seems like the next step: How do I verify and replace all the software (gnome) that might be corrupted?

I followed instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir3-2/Meerkat , including the post install ones. Ubuntu with GNOME 2 runs fine, but some animations in GNOME Shell are very slow, like switching to and from Overview. I tried drivers from xorg-edgers and x-swat PPAs, but things are still slow. The most relevant solution I found is http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/SwatList. I applied the patch
Code:
$ cd ~/gnome-shell/source/gnome-shell
$ curl http://bugzilla-attachments.gnome.org/attachment.cgi?id=157326 > shell-animations-nvidia.patch

I'm having a weird problem. I have a Apple Bluetooth keyboard, which used to work perfectly under Ubuntu. However, I decided to reinstall last week, and to my surprise the keyboard stopped working altogether. Also the gnome Bluetooth applet is crashing all the time. The weird thing is that I can use the keyboard to login, but after that it stops working altogether.
I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, it's up to date. Currently using a 2.6.37 kernel which I compiled myself, but the problem also appears when I run the 2.6.35 ubuntu kernel. There are some bug reports on the internet on crashing gnome applets, but as far as I can tell nobody has the weird keyboard problem.
