Fedora :: Startup Locking After Kernel Update?
Mar 10, 2010What is the best way to begin troubleshooting startup problems after kernel update to 2.6.31.12-174.22.fc12.x86-64? Since updating, I am experiencing frequent system hangs at startup.

May 15, 2011I'm having difficulty disabling the screen lock feature when resuming from suspend in Xubuntu 11.04 x64. The screen lock seems to be implemented in xscreensaver, so I disabled the screen saver in the Settings Manager. This did not work. In the 'Power Manager' section of Settings Manager, I unchecked "lock screen when going for suspend/hibernate' and this did not work. I found a possible workaround in a bug report that seems to describe the problem I'm having: [URL] but the solution offered there (install gconf-editor and disable screen lock from there) did not work. The bug report states that the problem was fixed in xfce4-utils 4.4.2-1ubuntu1, but from what I can tell the version of that package in 11.04 is newer than that. The only thing that seems to work is to completely uninstall xscreensaver

Jul 8, 2011I would like to disable the screen locking for hibernation only, in Kubuntu 11.04.I know that there is an option in the KDE Control Center, but I believe that it disables screen locking for both hibernation and sleep.Does anyone know of a way to do this (I'd be perfectly happy with a hacky solution)?Does anyone know what scripts are run when the "sleep" or "hibernate" buttons are pressed?

General :: Locking Keys Not Screen Or Mouse?
Sep 15, 2010My wife just moved onto Ubuntu after dumping Vista and she loves it! Only thing is that our 10 month old son adores smashing his hands on the keyboard when attempting to talk to his grandparents over Skype. In Vista, we downloaded a small software that locked the keyboard but not the mouse or screen. This locking could be toggled via a system tray icon.
Is there something similar that is available for Linux, specifically Ubuntu 10.4? If anyone knows of a solution, do let me know.
General :: Locking The Screen From Login Terminal?
Dec 29, 2010So I've got this home file server, and I want to display certain stuff using:
top

a tcpdump of snort logs, scrolling in real time
I want it to display on the screen using a split terminal screen, so all of the information shows on one display, but I do not want it to be vulnerable to a local attacker. Is there any way I can have these things start up at login, but prevent that user from doing anything other than viewing this information?
OpenSUSE :: Stopping The Screen Saver And Stopping The Screen Locking?
Jan 23, 2011In December I finally filled up my root partition and broke Suse 11.1. I therefore resized my partitions and installed Suse 11.3 on /root. I didn't not touch my /home partition.
I notice that when I leave my machine and come back the screen has locked. I have tried to turn off the screensaver, but it hasn't worked. I have Googled, but unfortunately the screen shots don't look like what I have and the instructions to stop this do not seem to match what I am seeing on the screen.
Is there a way to do this via the command line?

Ubuntu :: Alsamixer Startup "speaker" Level (and Screen Brightness Startup Level)
May 23, 2010I just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?
PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour

Ubuntu :: Run Script In Screen At Startup?
Jun 9, 2011OS: Ubuntu Server 10.04.2 LTS
I have a problem, I have a script which need to be ran in a screen, automaticly at startup (SRCDS Spesificly).
What I've done:
Ive placed a boot.sh script in init.d: Code: sh /home/xinity/eXtremeServer/startup.sh startup.sh: Code: cd /home/xinity/eXtremeServer
screen -S Sandbox ./orangebox/StartServer.sh Code: cd /home/xinity/eXtremeServer/orangebox/
[Code].....
What is wrong/happens: The server will run, I can connect to it, and see its process in top (running as root though). But it will not appear in the screen -ls list. And I cannot attach to it, therefor I have no way to manage my screen/server.
Is there any other way to execute scripts at startup? I remember when I ran Ubuntu Desktop, I managed to run it by the program Startup Manager. There has to be an nongui way to do this?
Ubuntu :: Blank Screen At 10.04 Startup?
Aug 31, 2010i recently was trying to install the ubuntu 10.04 in a machine with a 2x xeon processor but i'm getting some errors.In the installation first (and second, third...) try, the splash screen just freeze.After a lot of tries, just when i actived the acpi=off, noapic and nolapic, i finaly mounted the virtual desktop but after the succesful installation the machine wont boot! Only thing i get is a blank screen with a blinking dot on the left top.? it probaly somenthing related to the things i actived in grub boot, but i'm new to linux and can't find the problem! i can acess the ubuntu via hdd. I edited the boot on grub menu removing the "quite splash" from it and added "nolapic" in there place.Only thing left was the OS are now too slow. He works fine for 5 seconds and completely freeze for 2 seconds, then work for 5 secs again.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu Installation :: 10.04 LTS RC: Blank Screen At Startup?
Apr 26, 2010I've been using Ubuntu off and on since 6.10, but I am definitely a noob when it comes to troubleshooting this kind of stuff. All of my previous installs went flawlessly, so I guess I've been lucky so far. I finally decided that I would bite the bullet, and remove Windows altogether. No more dual-boot with XP or 7 for me.I've been attempting to install the 10.04 RC all weekend, and it's been pretty frustrating. I decided I would start with my aging laptop, a HP Pavilion ze8500 that I custom-ordered way back in 2003. A few specs I know off the top of my head:
P4 (2.30 GHz)
512MB RAM
40GB SATA HDD
I burned the ISO to CD-R and started the install. When I boot from the CD, I get a purple screen which is blank other than two symbols at the very bottom. IIRC, one looked like a ruler or something, and the other looked sort of like a star in a circle? I think they were separated by an equal sign.I have no idea what that meant, but I knew enough to hit F6 and that got the install menu to appear onscreen. The only way I could get through the installer without losing video was to use 'nomodeset'
I installed over top of Windows 7 RC with the default partition table settings and after the install finished, I got the dialog box telling me that a restart is necessary. I hit Continue, the CD tray ejected, and my laptop restarted.So, assuming that the installation was a success, I see the BIOS screen, and then that goes blank, and where I would expect to see a boot screen or a Grub dialog, I see nothing at all.After the first install attempt, I would hear a drum sound after the screen went blank.I tried hitting 'Esc', along with 'Ctrl+Alt+F1', 'Ctrl + Alt + F2' or whatever else I could think of, and nothing seems to work.I updated my BIOS, remembering that I forgot to do that, and then I reinstalled Ubuntu. Again, no display when Ubuntu boots. And now, I hear no drum sound at all.
Ubuntu :: Black Screen On Startup / Resolve This?
Nov 30, 2010Recently my laptop running Ubuntu 10.10 has had an abrupt power shutoff (actually several times -- my battery has some problems).
Now when Ubuntu boots, I get the startup screen, but after a few seconds, the screen goes black. I can still boot from the live CD and in fact I am using my computer from the CD to write this post.
A few more details: When I press the power button while my computer is in this "blank" state, I get hard drive activity. Also, if I press "power", and then "enter", the machine actually shuts down.power

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: 10.10 Does Not Show Login Screen At Startup?
Feb 4, 2011I'm a beginner with Linux. I'm using the version of Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a notebook HP Pavilion tx 2000 (Turion 64 x2). My Ubuntu is 32 bits.
I'm passing for the following situation:
When I turn on my notebook, if it is running on battery (even with the battery has 100% of charge), a login / password screen does not appear, and the screen goes dark and nothing more I can do (that I knew!). So I re-start the machine.
However, if the notebook is plugged into electrical energy (with or without battery), a login / password appears normally.
If, with the notebook plugged into electrical energy, I log in Ubuntu operating system, then great. After loaded the operating system, I can turn off electrical energy and the notebook works normally (only with battery). In other words, just the login screen that is with this electrical energy problem.
Ubuntu :: Screen Saver Freezes After Startup?
May 6, 2011I did a fresh install of 11.04 a week ago and I had my screen saver set to run 'Floating Feet' after 15 minutes idle time. Twice I've left my computer, and returned, clicked the mouse, and found my computer frozen on the screen saver. I was able to recover once by hitting the power button, which brought up the shut down/restart options and normal desktop. It hasn't happened since I turned off the screen saver, so I'll just leave it that way until a solution arises.
View 4 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Force Different Screen Resolution At Startup?
May 11, 2011I recently started using Ubuntu 11.04. Everything works fine with my monitor directly connected to the computer. I get a default screen resoluton of 1680 x 1050, which is just fine.
However, when I connect the screen through a video splitter to be able to use a beamer, the screen resolution defaults to 1024x768. Moreover, Ubuntu then detects an unknown monitor and I cannot select a higher resolution.
I searched for modifications of xrandr en xorg.conf but I have to admit I don't understand what I've read. So my question remains: how can I force Ubuntu 11.04 to start with a screen resololution of 1680 x 1050 (without first connecting monitor only, that is).
I hereby add some information I retrieved with the screen connected without the splitter, so you can see what hardware is involved.
Code:
dirk@LaboFysica:~$ xrandr
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192
VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 474mm x 296mm
1680x1050 60.0*+
1280x1024 75.0 60.0

Nov 25, 2010and I've had Ubuntu Linux (10.10) for maybe a month and a half now. Im very satisfied with the whole system, no problems up until an update about maybe 2 weeks ago from today (rough estimate). Anyways, when I start my computer and choose to start Ubuntu, about half of the time it will load with some weird new login screen (because of update), and their are other times where the screen will go blank. I dont think its very safe to cut the power from the computer through the power button :/ I realize there are other posts regarding this, and I apologize if this is against the rules, I just thought maybe it would be appropriate to start a thread with this problem for 10.10 users
