Ubuntu :: Gnome Don't Start - Only Console Does
May 18, 2010
I have a very strange trouble with gnome/X11/Adapter/memory, I really don't know! When I upgrade my memory to 2Gb (1Gb+1Gb), graphic mode not starting! Load only console, but gnome not load. And besides error message not showing. 'starx' command leads to black screen and nothing happends, keyboard doesn't work too. if I leave 1Gb memory, all working perfectly! tell me where I can find log-message or how I can solve that problem. In /var/log I can't found anything interesting.

I finally got my system to boot to a console prompt. This is a fresh installation of fc10 that I have struggled to get working with my old Adaptec 2940 scsi hardware. I am a little fuzzy on the whole gtk, gdm, gnome thing. So how do I go from this console prompt to configuring the new installation with desktop?So let's say I am logged on as root on the console.

Yesterday i fell asleep while my laptop was still on. when i woke up this morning i stared at a black screen. I tried to wake it up but nothing happened so i just turned it off.
But when i turn it on again i get this after the login screen: Xsession: Warning" Unable to write to /tmp; X session may exist with an error
After a few minutes i get the message, that my temp directory id full.
Now the problem is, that i cannot even login in console mode! i tried the "console login" mode from the login window, i tried switching the console with ctrl+Alt+F1, i even tried to start in recovery mode. But all i get is a blank screen with a blinking cursor in the middle, but i can't write anything!

for my small home server i want the machine to NOT start x11 automatically but to enable remote logins via xdmcp.The problem: xdmcp is controlled by gdm. If i disable gdm to have no x11-login-screen xdmcp does not run...Is there any way to start gdm without starting x11 on the console?

How can I set the console in both kde and gnome (mostly kde konsole) to the usual [username@localhost]<currentfolder> layout ?. It looks like this now:
Code:
bash-4.0$ cd /home/M/Documents
bash-4.0$
the real console after text based login has the normal layout "[root@Fedora ~]#" but consoles within x only show "bash-4.0$"
What have I messed up and how can I restore it ?

I have a headless server, and I want to prevent GDM 2.30 from starting the graphical login on the console screen. As I use XDMCP, I still need GDM running on the server... With previous versions of GDM, I was doing that through gdmsetup, which ended with these lines in /etc/custom.conf :
Code:
[servers]
0=inactive
but it seems that it's not working anymore with 2.30...

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).

I could not solve examining the start and stop scripts. When I boot (default runlevel 5) my system all log messages are displayed on /dev/tty1. After the boot process has finished and kdm is started no more console messages are displayed on /dev/tty1. Instead all console output is redirected to /dev/tty7. When I change the runlevel from 5 to 3 boot.msg shows
Code:
Changing back to runlevel 5 gives
Code:
Why kdm redirects console output to /dev/tty7 instead of /dev/tty1?

What's the easiest way to search for a string in a text file in GNOME or on the console? I used to do this in kfindfile back on KDE.I'd like to avoid downloading something like desktop search if at all possible because I'm away for the holidays and stuck on a dialup connection.

I tried most methods suggested on many sites to install drivers
## through the additional driver panel only
## through the Nvidia.run file I downloaded
## through the terminal using apt-get
All failed to start ubuntu gui it takes me to the console login and I noticed it says "saned disabled" edit /etc/..something. This problem made me install ubuntu again three times and every time I activate the driver then install the driver Nvidia.run or through apt-get and both leads to a black screen tty1 login. So what to do now I installed and removed many things and I won't reinstall ubuntu again. Also I typed compiz and this came on:
root@ubuntu:/home/sherbieny# compiz
Xlib: extension "GLX" missing on display ":1.0".
compiz (core) - Fatal: Root visual is not a GL visual
compiz (core) - Error: Failed to manage screen: 0
compiz (core) - Fatal: No manageable screens found on display :1.0
Launching fallback window manager. I want to install properly so that I can start normally and enable the extra visual effects and the custom effects. Please elaborate the steps clearly
New Info:
When I enter nvidia-settings : server X opens and says
You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver. Please edit your X configuration file (just run 'nvidia-xconfig' as root), and restart the X server. When I enter nvidia-xconfig as root and restart nothing happens and when I enter:
nvidia-detector it says none
and when I enter: nvidia-smi
Error: API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel module has version 260.19.21, but this NVIDIA driver component has version 260.19.29. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version.
Failed to allocate an RM client

Suse 11.3 KDE 32bit Following instructions in software.opensuse.org: Search Results I installed LibreOffice using the 1-click Install method. It will not start and produces no error when invoked from the console. Now here's the strangest part. If I left click on an .ods file produced by LibreOffice on another computer (on which it worked) KDE tries to extract it using ark even though file properties identifies it as an "ODS spreadsheet".

This only started after the recent updates which included a lot of sysv stuff in Squeeze. I'm not talking the Gnome or Xwindows consoles, I'm talking the full-on type you get when you do the CTL-ALT-F2 type of console. before those updates, I had no trouble. Now I can't get back into the gui by pressing CTL-ALT-F7 as usual. All i get is just a black screen. I do have the nvidia proprietary driver installed using DKMS, and I am running the latest (I think) liquorix kernel.

After the Upgrade of my Fedora Insatallation (FC 10 => 12) I have some problems with Gnome and the Login via console. The system actually boots fine and all kind of services like Postfix, IMAP, Samba, SSHD, Apache, etc. are avialable normally.
If I try however to work directly on the server I only see the completed Fedora progress icon and not as hoped for, the Login to Gnome. Also the attempt to change to a plain console with ALT-CTRL-F1 fails.
Since actually everything seems to work quite fine, I am somewhat helpless, according to should I look for, to get Gnome and the Console Login working again.

Im having an issue getting GDM to start.. i recently reformatted my server, and put 10.04 on there.. loving it so far.. well, the whole time i was testing it, i left a monitor hooked up the whole time..
So, this weekend, i rearranged the room its in, and hooked it back up, with no monitor.. I can still SSH, ftp, and use gnump3d.. i mean, basically anything that does not need X will run.. just cant get it to start..
this is the error i get when trying to start it via an ssh session

Been running 6.06 for 5 years with no problems! On logging on as normal gnome doesn't start and I just have an orange screen with a working mouse pointer. Have tried to remove and reinstall gnome but am getting a lot of failed to fetch errors. Any help appreciated. I don't really want to re-install yet.

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.

I've recently updated to Ubuntu 10.10. At first I had no problems, but after the third time I logged in, my desktop background appeared (and nothing else) but quickly flashed to a black screen with some error messages (too fast for me to see) and I got sent to the login screen. After trying some more times I got the same problem with some small differences(sometimes my desktop icons showed up, other times it took a couple of minutes before I got kicked out).
I tried running startx from the terminal but got one of these two error messages: Server already running or could not find any listening ports. If I run "sudo startx -- :1" to switch the port I login fine, but as the root user. Gnome works perfectly here and when I login in gnome-failsafe. This leads to believe it has something to do with my user configuration. I've restarted xorg server, installed gnome-main-menu and made sure if got the current gnome package.
