Ubuntu :: Autologin And Networking Fails To Start

Jan 21, 2011

I've got a couple of nagging issues that may or may not be related to each other. First, although I have this machine set to log me on automatically (I'm the only user ever and there's no public access) it doesn't; I get the standard login welcome screen. In the system menu (from Applications) I have two login managers: "Login Screen" and "Login Screen (GDM2)". The first of these shows I'm configured for automatic login, as does the custom.conf file in /etc/gdm. However when I click its "unlock" button, it flashes orange momentarily but nothing else happens. The second manager doesn't seem to have any effect on the problem...

The other issue is that my networking fails to start during boot-up; I'm not using the network manager applet and am not starting it; instead I have the three NICs in the machine (which serves as the router and gateway for my LAN) configured in /etc/network/interfaces. Once I am logged in, I can run "sudo service networking start" from a Terminal window and everything works properly, but adding that same line to /etc/rc.local (minus the "sudo" of course) had no effect on the problem. Both issues happen only at boot time, and since this machine normally runs 24/7 except immediately after certain updates or when troubleshooting they're not show-stoppers, but I greatly prefer to have my systems working the way I've configured them rather than going off in other directions!

OpenSUSE Install :: Inconsistent Autologin / Can't Get Autologin To Work Consistently?

Nov 29, 2009

I've been on 11.2 KDE for about a week (clean install). Previously on 11.1 Gnome. Everything's great except I can't get Autologin to work consistently. It worked perfectly in 11.1 Gnome! In 11.2 KDE sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I set it up as root in both Yast and System Settings.

Debian :: Autologin Not Working / Get It To Autologin At Startup?

Dec 1, 2010

I've built a system and installed Debian 5.0.7 on it, the one thing I'd like to do is to get it to autologin at startup. I've changed my /etc/inittab and ~/.bash_profile as per the instructions in this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=16&t=29333

so that they look like this:
/etc/inittab:
# /etc/inittab: init(8) configuration.

Fedora :: Autologin Fails With GDM / Error "Unable To Authenticate User"?

Aug 24, 2009

i'm running fedora 10 Gnome ver 2.24.3 kernel 2.6.30.4

i tried to change my /etc/gdm/custom.conf by adding it the following lines:
[daemon]
TimedLoginEnable=true
TimedLogin=your_mike
TimedLoginDelay=0

after reloading gnome it's trying to log through "autologin" but than it give an error message "Unable to authenticate user", i tried using passwd -d on my account but still the error persisted, i saw that some users had this error after a fresh install just with logging into the machine without relation to autologin and they needed to change their password first i tried that as well.

i also tried to edit the /etc/gdm/gdm.schemas file
<schema>
<key>daemon/AutomaticLoginEnable</key>
<signature>b</signature>
<default>true</default> <schema>
<key>daemon/AutomaticLogin</key>
code....

But unfortunately the results were the same, i tried this procedure on a different Fedora 7 and on a virtual ubunto 9.4 machine and is was successful.

Ubuntu Networking :: Rtl8185B Driver Fails To Start Successfully

Sep 14, 2010

I just bought a new TrendNet TEW-423PI for my ubuntu box (10.04) and have not been able to get it to start. This has the RealTek RTL-8185. I first tried starting up out with the stock install with the built in r8180 drivers. No luck. The board is seen (visible in lshw -C network), but the network device (eth1, or wlan0) never gets created. I googled and got the suggestion that I should install the RealTek r8185 drivers. I did that. I still have the same problem. Looks like something is going wrong in the drivers. Here's what I see in lshw:

Code:

Ubuntu Networking :: Network Adapter Stopped Working And Fails To Start

Feb 19, 2011

I have somehow messed up my network (onboard) card in the process of configuring network settings. how I managed to do so is that I did not use ifdown before making changes to my "/etc/network/interfaces" file. Also I think it might be relevant to mention that the sshd was running -although with no active connections at that time- since I have the service installed on my 10.04 Ubuntu Server (x64). So step by step what I did to end up with no network connection:

1) sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces ~/myfiles/interfaces.original

2) chmod 444 interfaces.original

3) sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces and then applied my network settings (IP, netmask, etc.). The syntax and configuration of my "interfaces" file is without flaw since it was simple, typical and was assigning my up to then DHCP assigned IP of 192.168.2.3 to static.

At about that point and although "ifconfig" showed the changes had been applied as planned the network card stopped working. I could no longer ping anyone but myself and the leds both on my network adapter and on my switch were turned off. Since my configuration also has a Windows 7 installation I rebooted to Windows in hope of troubleshooting through device manager but I got an error code 10 which means that the adapter could not start. Did I fry my network adapter for good and for all or I still have a chance of repairing it?

PS: After a closer look I saw that the NIC's LEDs indicate that the device cannot start. I am considering to reboot my MB as a last resort since the NIC is an onboard device and changing BIOS settings has done nothing to restore it.

Fedora Networking :: Arpwatch Fails To Start At Boot Time

Mar 6, 2010

Arpwatch is failing to start at boot time. I got this message:

arpwatch: bad interface eth0: eth0: no ipv4 address assigned

Once I login into my account, I can (as root) run the arpwatch demon, but it is suppose to run at boot time. After I installed aprwatch, it was working correctly. I do not have an idea of what happens or since when the problem start to happen. I just realize, after a while , that arpwatch was not running. I am running Fedora 12 - 2.6.32.9-67.fc12

Ubuntu :: KDE Fails To Start

Sep 14, 2010

Just upgraded kubuntu to Lucid and found no KDE installed: bad news: if you're on kubuntu KDE should be upgraded automatically. So using kpackagekit in gnome installed the standard metapackage and got the option to log in with KDE (good news) but then KDE failed: segmentation fault in knotify4.it would not report the error: too little information. it dropped me back into an incomplete gnome environment (no top and bottom tool lines).

Ubuntu :: Evolution Fails To Start?

Dec 18, 2010

I just installed Ubuntu 10.04 fresh and was putting my preferences back in for Firefox and MythTV and such when I noticed Evolution wouldn't start. I would click on it and the cursor would change for about 5 seconds and then nothing. I tried uninstalling Evolution (big mistake), but after I got back into the desktop, Evolution still wouldn't start. I can't seem to find anything around here that deals with this. Where should I start to debug this?

Ubuntu :: Buggy GDM - Sometimes Fails To Start 10.10

Apr 9, 2011

Ubuntu 10.10

Awhile back I was playing around with Plymouth and GDM resolutions. I followed some wrong instructions and screwed up my GDM. I have fixed my GDM, sorta, but at times it will not start or when it does the login screen has strange pixel errors.

Sometimes it starts fine without any problems or pixel errors. Other times I have to boot 2 to 3 times before GDM will start.

If GDM starts with pixel errors, I can still login to Ubuntu and the rest of the OS runs fine. Pixel errors only happen in GDM.

When GDM fails to start I get a blank black screen. Cannot enter command line. OS seems frozen and I have to reboot.

General :: Xorg Fails To Start Under Ubuntu?

May 13, 2010

I'm running desktop Ubuntu 9.10 on my Dell laptop. Previously it was Ubuntu 9.04. After some period of time (lets say 3-4 months) my X fails to start automatically after some restart calls. If that takes place my network manager applet doesn't start either (after I do startx).

I get a perfect server boot meaning there's no Xorg started. Command line interface is all I get starting from login and further.
