Ubuntu :: Enable Sound Without Being Logged Into A Gnome Session

Aug 28, 2010

I'm running a VM (headless), and sound only works when I am logged into a gnome session. Sound (from any application, including VLC running in a terminal) is stopped when I switch user. How do I prevent this from happening?

Ubuntu :: Burn An ISO To A CD While Logged Into A Live CD Session?

Mar 22, 2011

Is possible to burn an ISO to a CD while logged into a Live CD session? The issue is I'm logged in on an old 7.10 Live CD and would like to burn a 10.10 CD to do a reinstall after my hard drive broke. I realize of course the system runs from the 7.10 CD, but if it's possible to keep the system running from memory while burning or something.

There are no disc burning tools in the Applications menu, but wodim appears to be available at least, so if there's a way I would seem to have a tool to do the actual burning anyway.

Server :: Another Session Logged In But Running No Processes?

Jan 30, 2011

My University gives us access to a Linux server, named stud1.

Code:

me@stud1:~$ uname -a
Linux stud1.some.univ.ac 2.6.9-89.31.1.ELsmp #1 SMP Mon Oct 4 21:41:59 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Apparently I was logged in, and never logged out sometime:

Code:

me@stud1:~$ who
<snip>
me pts/37 Jan 30 13:27 (6.6.66.66)
<snip>
me pts/58 Dec 30 19:13

but when trying to find out why I'm still logged in, I can't find it:

Code:

me@stud1:~$ ps faux |grep me
root 30030 0.0 0.0 51128 4360 ? Ss 13:27 0:00 \_ sshd: me [priv]
me 30033 0.0 0.0 51132 2336 ? S 13:27 0:00 \_ sshd: me@pts/37

[code]....

how can I logout this unused session?

Ubuntu :: Run Script On GNOME Startup Without Gnome Session Manager

Nov 12, 2010

I'm currently building a ubuntu distro and would like to run a script on GNOME startup. I've read about doing it through the session manager but I have to do it through chroot so I'll need to set it up as a terminal command. Is there a way to add an item to the Session Manager from terminal or, even better, a directory where I can put the script so it will run on start?

Ubuntu :: Switching To A Virtual Console While Logged Out Crashes GNOME?

Jul 16, 2010

If I am logged out of GNOME and switch to tty1 and back, I get a stream of errors (which I can't copy...) on a black console. If I am logged in I am fine. This is very annoying because I would like to be able to log out of GNOME while I am running particularly memory-intensive scripts (they approach the limit of my 3.8 GBs of RAM).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: VLC HTTP Interface: No Sound When No User Is Logged In

Dec 20, 2010

I have a pc where I run ubuntu 10.10 and on this pc i have installed vlc and on boot i start the vlc http interface. Therefor I created the file /etc/init.d/vlc. The file seems like this:

[URL]

and I also updated rc.d. Vlc starts on boot as desired I also can send commands like in_play the file (a playlist) is loaded and reguarding the status.xml the file is played. But when no user is logged in I hear no sound. When I perform a login on the machine there is first still no sound but when I send e.g. the pl_next command or call in_play again then there is sound. Sadly the pc shouldn't be attached to a monitor and therefor I can't perform a login everytime so I need sound, when noone is logged in. Why is there no sound?

Fedora :: Gnome - Can Allow A Remote Desktop / VNC Connection If No User Is Logged In

Oct 18, 2010

Is there a way gnome can allow a remote desktop / VNC connection if no user is logged in? If the server gets rebooted I can't access it (remote desktop / VNC). Someone physically has to go there and log in. Surely there must be a way as gnome is running just waiting for a login.

Anyone know how to get sound during the editing session of Cinelerra? Any ideas out there?

Looks like no sound in rendered file either! So no sound at all with Cinelerra....

Ubuntu :: Can't Log Into Gnome Session In UNR 10.04

May 18, 2010

I have installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.04 on my Sony Vaio netbook. I want to be able to log into a Gnome session as an alternative to UNR. The main reason for wanting to do this is to be able to add some applets to the panel which I use a lot. This is not possible in UNR, which is really irritating! However, I really like UNR otherwise, so don't want to just install standard version.

Synaptic shows that Gnome is not installed, but when I try to install it, I get this error message:
gnome: Depends: swfdec-mozilla but it is not going to be installed

I tried uninstalling Epiphany, which I sometime use instead of Firefox, but still got the error. I installed Ubuntu-Desktop, but when I select "Gnome" from the session menue at the bottom of the login page, it just logs into UNR session.

How do I install Gnome desktop so that I can log into a Gnome session?

Ubuntu :: Gdm Will Not Start Gnome Session?

Jul 31, 2010

I'm having issues logging into my system... After authenticating via GDM, the screen goes black with only the mouse showing and remains this way indefinitely. At first the hard disk is active to a similar degree as it was when logins were successful, but then the system (apart from being able to move the mouse) is unresponsive.

If left for long enough so that the screen goes into power-saving mode, moving the mouse brings up the unlock dialogue that you normally get if you set your computer to lock itself after a period of idleness.

I suspect some sort of file corruption, as I have not changed any settings recently. I have forced checks on all of my disks in the hope it would solve this problem. I have also tested logging in on a freshly created user account I created which gives the same result. Also, starting an xterm session from GDM works fine.

Ubuntu :: Connect Via Ssh Into A Existing Gnome Session?

Jun 12, 2010

I've got two ubuntu machines and i want to connect via ssh into a existing gnome session. (or a new one if that is possible) VNC works fine(well slow and unresponsive) but when trying ssh i get problems. After som trial and error(some permissions on host, i did sudo startx and screwed up) i logged in and could start xterm. Anyway now i want to use gnome, so i wrote "gnome-session" - something i read would work but i got ALOT of errors.

Code:
gnome-session[6094]: WARNING: Unable to find provider 'nautilus' of required component 'filemanager'
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6104): WARNING **: You can only run one xsettings manager at a time; exiting
** (gnome-settings-daemon:6104): WARNING **: Unable to start xsettings manager: Could not initialize xsettings manager.

Ubuntu :: Running A Tidy Gnome-session Over X?

Oct 13, 2010

I have both a mac and ubuntu box sitting on my desk. I work on the mac and access the ubuntu box over ssh.Often I need the point-and-click interface of the ubuntu box, at which point I run gnome-session. The problem is that the top and bottom menu bars fill the full size available to them, which can cause me problems (I use two different-sized screens and the barsget hidden), and overall it looks very messy. I would therefore like to confine the gnome-session to a window, much like you get with vnc (or parallels if you're running a virtual ubuntu session).

Ubuntu :: Sudo Apt-get Remove Gnome Session Errors

This is the error I get when removing gnome-session:

Debian :: Gnome Session Won't Start

Jul 9, 2010

Gnome sessions started hanging during login on a debian lenny box, and I can only think it's related to a recent package update as it was working fine before the last set. It affects all user accounts and hangs before the applications menu or any icons appear on the panels, but after after the top /bottom panels and the desktop background appears.

Ubuntu :: Opera Segfault Closed Gnome-session - And GParted ?

Sep 12, 2010

I was using GParted to move and resize a few partitions on my external HDD that I use for backup purposes. Well while this was going on, I was using Opera to reply to a post on the forums and Opera segfaulted, which in turn crashed GNOME. Gnome restarted, I logged back in, my external HDD was still reading/writing furiously and GParted won't open.

So I know that the GParted I started is still running, although the handle that GParted had on its GUI is still locked - so I can't open a new GParted GUI - and the existing GParted GUI has closed - so now I can't check on the progress of my partition operation.

Ubuntu Servers :: Login With VNC Viewer And Spawn Gnome Session

Dec 1, 2010

I have just installed a version of 32 bits Lucid LTS on a server box. I would like to setup a VNC service so that I will be able to login to the server with VNC viewer and spawn a gnome-session. I ran the following command:
Code:
apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
apt-get install Xvnc xinetd

I was in front of the server and make sure that I can start a gdm locally. Then, I added Xvnc service to xinetd following the guide here: {URL] I was only using a session, and /etc/xinetd.d/Xvnc is as follow:
Code:
service Xvnc
{
type = UNLISTED
disable = no
socket_type = stream
protocol = tcp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/bin/Xvnc .....

After all, I restart gdm by "/etc/init.d/gdm restart". When I try to start a VNC connection from another machine, I can see Xvnc running successfully. But XDMCP does not run properly and I cannot see a traditional ubuntu login screen. I am sure that port 177 UDP is opening by looking at the output of "netstat -anp".
