Ubuntu Installation :: Pure LXDE Borked Xsession Autologin?
Nov 28, 2010
Installed 10.10 Ubuntu and found the Dell D820 did not digest Gnome that easily. I tried adding Lubuntu from repos after adding PPA. Seemed unstable to use, so I followed Psychocat direction for Pure LXDE and removed Ubuntu. Now login is giving error "xsession:unable to launc "openbox-gnome" X Session --- "openbox-gnome" not found; falling back to defaultsession." Where do I correct the xsession login to allow auto login. (I know the chances for autologin, and still choose to use it)

I'm running Debian + LXDE in a VirtualBox. Here are the details:
Code: Select all➜ ~ hostnamectl
Static hostname: debian64
Icon name: computer-vm
Chassis: vm
Machine ID: #############################
Boot ID: ###########################
Virtualization: kvm
Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux stretch/sid
Kernel: Linux 4.2.0-1-amd64
Architecture: x86-64
I really would like to jump into my desktop environment when I start my machine without the need to enter my user name and password. Apparently this is very easy to do. I added the following lines to my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
Code: Select allpam-service=lightdm
pam-autologin-service=lightdm-autologin
autologin-user=username
autologin-user-timeout=0
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession
And also added my user to the autologin group
Code: Select allgroupadd -r autologin
gpasswd -a username autologin
As you can imagine, it didn't work. Otherwise I wouldn't be here... I also tried to install Slim and enable autologin adding the following line to the /etc/slim.conf
Code: Select allauto_login = yes
That didn't work either!
Am I missing anything? Enabling autologin in LXDE?

I am having problems troubleshooting my pure-ftpd setup. I am always getting a 530 authentication error. I attempted to correct the problem by doing the following:
# pure-pw mkdb
# ln -s /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PureDB /etc/pure-ftpd/auth/PureDB
# gedit /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/PAMAuthentication
[code]....
This create a new error. 421 Unable to read the indexed puredb file (or old format detected) - Try pure-pw mkdb I am getting a feeling this is getting from bad to worse. I attempted to remove pure-ftpd and pureadmin to start over again. However, it appears I cannot remove everything. I attempted the following:
apt-get remove pure-ftpd pureadmin I am not sure what this really does because I can still see the folder /etc/pure-ftpd and I cannot remove it. I could not use rm /etc/pure-ftpd because the system said it was not empty. I also tried sudo aptitude remove pure-ftpd pureadmin . Again I cannot completely remove the folder. How do I completely remove pure-ftpd and pure admin and all databases, files and folders so I have a fresh system ready to start the install again?

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.

I have set up pure-authd and pure-ftpd. They are both running, I have created the socket etc.
In my authentication module (a php script) for testing purposes I have done a vardump in to a file, and have realised that pure-authd is not passing on any variables (username, password of the current person trying to log in via ftp) to the PHP script.
I am sure the authentication module is working (have tested it vigorously on the command line), but after 10 hours wondering why it wouldnt work and messing about with the script, I have realised that the variables were never even getting in to the script in the first place!
I am running the processes such as this:
Everything seems as if it is working other than this. For instance, when testing the setup with a very basic auth module which doesnt require a username or password (the basic module just passes "auth_ok:1" to pure-ftpd and the user is then logged in), I can log in to the FTP server fine.
But like I say, a vardump ($argv) on my proper PHP authentication script would suggest that no username or password are being passed to it.

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.
# $Id: inittab,v 1.91 2002/01/25 13:35:21 miquels Exp $

Whilst I've been using Ubuntu for years now, I don't really do much at the command-line, basically because I don't *have* to (which, to me is the beauty of this OS!). However, the last update via update manager has rendered my dual-boot with Vista on an Asus laptop non-functioning (at least Linux). What happens is this: after the BIOS splash screen, it says starting GRUB and then, instead of a menu of current and recent Linux versions and the Vista option at the bottom (white text against colour background) it now just shows one line of the menu in magenta... the rest of the menu is black, but the arrow keys will show the other options. Hitting ENTER does nothing: the text line is replaced with a blinking underline which goes back to the text in magenta again when i hit ESC. I can't seem to ESC or SHIFT to GRUB's command-line prompt at all. I've boot to the LiveCD and ran a boot_info_script in bash: here is what that revealed:
Code:
Boot Info Script 0.55 dated February 15th, 2010
============================= Boot Info Summary: ==============================
=> Syslinux is installed in the MBR of /dev/sda
=> Windows is installed in the MBR of /dev/sdb

I attempted to install windows 7 to the partition where vista was installed. The install failed, think it's a dodgy burn, and obviosuly took grub with it. However it's also somehow screwed up the partitioning of an extended partition where instead of two ubuntu's, a partition for my media files and test partition for chrome all is left is a big chunk of 'unallocated' and swap. I found a recovery tutorial here but the instructions are little vague.

I installed lxde, but my wireless internet doesn't work. I can switch back to gnome and it works perfectly. I tried wicd and manually connecting with the command line. Both fail while trying to get an ip.

I recently upgraded to 10.04, but I'll be darned if I can get GDM to run my personal .Xsession (or .xsession or .xinitrc or.Xclients...) when I log in. I don't see any option on the session menu. The only entries are window managers and "xterm". My script works when I log in from the console. don't tell me that Ubuntu (or GDM) has made things simpler by taking away the option of a .Xsession! Nah, couldn't be.

I installed LXDE and want to choose each boot whether to run Gnome or LXDE. However Gnome gets started automatically without me being able to choose. Are there any config files I have to edit?

I've tried to do a clean install of F10 on one of my pcs. I deselected Gnome and only selected LXDE. But after the installation-proces finished and I did a reboot, I only got a commandline in which I only was able to log into as root. No LXDE. Nor did the command "startx" start X. to my surprise. On another pc I did an install of F10 with Gnome and later on I've installed LXDE. After a reboot I was able to select LXDE in gdm. But how can I get a clean install of F10 with only LXDE? What am I missing here?

Tried an install of Fedora 15 LXDE. Says I need 1100 MB of RAM to install and only have 1000 MB of RAM. So will not install. First time I ever needed over 1GB of RAM on my netbook, especially LXDE which should run on 512 MB, install and everything.

The upgrade went fairly smooth, with a little effort got everything working except for Compiz. I couldn't enable desktop effects. So I decided to completely remove compiz with Synaptic and re-install. After removing compiz, compiz was no where to be found in Synaptic. Where did it go? How can I get compiz back? I have a NVIDIA GeForce 8600GT video card using the 256.53 driver.

Is it possible to install Debian 8.2 lxde WITHOUT Libreoffice? I have successfully installed it on an eeepc with a 4 gb ssd
But then removed Libreoffice to have room for files.
It works great! It would be nice to just install Debian lxde without Libreoffice, which I do not use, I prefer gnumeric and vim.

Lubuntu is nice - but it seems the LXDE version is not as up to date as Fedora LXDE Spin or even Debian squeeze with LXDE installed. I do like Chromium on Lubuntu though... its faster and a nice touch. I am looking for a lightweight 64-bit distribution for my main laptop (it is by no means "old" or "low spec" but I like that Lubuntu starts up in like 2 secs).
LXDE version seems not to be recent (esp in 10.04 version which seems to work more stably for me - with Nvidia drivers etc)64 bit install is currently a pain - requires first install of minimal CD or alternate CD both of which required wired Ethernet, then install of lubuntu from PPA. Native 64-bit support would be nice. Linux Mint LXDE, for example, is also only 32-bit.

I delete the file and within about a week i am back to a "out of space error" I have tried root owning the file with no permission to write, but it still gets written, just with a number on the end
the system appears to be working fine otherwise. I could set a cron remove but that seems a bit more hacky than telling it to shut up.

My problem is, when I start my custom xsession through startx I get almost ideal results; the network manager requires a password every time. But when it is run through gdm I cannot use any of the awesome3 hotkeys (and so alas, cannot actually do _anything_) although the wireless does connect automatically (?).

Just today I started getting notices about lack of disk space on my system. After much digging I found that .xsession-errors and .xsession-errors.old were taking nearly 70GB of space combined. The primary message I'm getting over and over again is: SSL_Write: I/O Error I have been unable to figure out what's causing this error.

I made some updates and rebooted (out of necessity due to an old, mysterious glitch that made my keyboard stop working, along with cursors in text and most menus) and my laptop's networking stopped working altogether. Trying to access my home's wireless network only got me a "disconnected - you are now offline" after a long wait, which has happened before, but A) never before right after a reboot, B) the wired connection didn't work either when I tried it, which has never happened to me, and C) this persisted after another reboot.

I'm running 10.10 and I have an ATI HD5470 and I was trying to add VAAPI support. I was told to compile and install a newer version of ffmpeg from SVN, which I did. I had to uninstall all the current/medibuntu libav* codecs to do so. I want to uninstall it but whenever I try to do anything in Synaptic it tries to reinstall the standard codecs before it can remove ffmpeg so it says
Code:
I can't uninstall this broken version and I can't get all the applications that had to be uninstalled back!
