I have an empty X session running, and I want to run kde inside it. I can run whatever software I want in it, actually (well, I can't move the windows and so, but that is normal), but for some reason, kdm doesn't work. What I have is a X display and a xterm inside.
View 2 RepliesI would like to setup fedora for fullscreen, touchscreen, noexit application. So whenever you'll boot or restart the application will automatically starts. I thing there are these step required:
1. autologin
2. start fvwm after login instead of default DM - gnome
3. run application
how to autologin in fedora but it still shows that fedora gui login screen for 10 seconds and then it logs in. My problem that I dont know how to start fvwm and configure it to empty desktop (no toolbars no nothing) instead of gnome.
After update in Lucid, cant start the session. As only critical part was Nautilus (on 2.31), how to fix it? I don't have in GDM any session option and no way to approach to terminal and start any session. Only way can be somehow before GDM (Lucid by default don't have Grub) or via Live USB (but how?).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to VNC into a server to which I have no physical access (but I can ask someone to start a session or something) but can ssh into. I have gotten a VNC session working by sshing in and running vncserver, although once the VNC session died in a confusing manner.
I don't know how to start a VNC session any way but vncserver, which is odd since I'm sure that Ubuntu's Remote desktop should somehow allow me to do this by default. The server by the way is being used as a desktop by someone else. Also, how do I tell if my VNC is encrypted and if it isn't how do I make sure it is?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'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.
How do i start an alternate X session in ubuntu...generally Ctrl + Alt + F7-F11 is reserved for alternate X sessions right. If I open a tty1 and do something like xinit -- :1 I guess I have something like an X session but it doesn't have any desktop environment like Gnome...what i want to do is if I am running a fullscreen game or something in Xsession:0 can I do something else in a new Xsession?

It's strange because it all worked fine just about two hours ago and I am not sure since I have the server automatically download security updates if there is something it automatically downloaded that caused this. Also how to make the server stop automatically downloading security updated?
I'm deploying a Rails application in a Ubuntu 10.04 server withmongrel web server (a lightweight http web server). I connect to server and do stuffs in a ssh client(PuTTY on windows). And I'm getting stuck with a strange issue:1. After I connected to server, I start mongrel with : $ start-stop-daemon -S -d . -x script/server -b -- -p 80802. I left the ssh console and launch firefox from my Win7 box and openthe website, it runs well. I can see the homepage3. I go back to the ssh console. Close the terminal (and window too)it by : $ exit4. Then in firefox, I press F5 to refresh and nothing shows up. It'sjust an empty space in whole webpage. I tried to use addon to capturethe HTTP data and see that te server returns nothing , even HTTPheaders5. I connect to server again, run "ps -Af" to check and see that the process's still running. And again, leave the console, switch to firefox and refresh -> the homepage shows everything. 6. But if I exit the ssh session and refresh browser, the web server returns nothing againI thought that using start-stop-daemon command could help me runmongrel as daemon and then I can exit my session just as apache does.

I'm trying to create a new gdm session in tty8, so I can switch between tty7 and tty8 running simultaneously.
How can I accomplish this? I found some website suggesting to run startx and also startx gnome-session -- :1 vt8 Both result in a black screen, blocking the overall system, not allowing me to go to tty1 nor any tty. I have to run REINSUB to restart the system.
# I don't know if tty is the exact term to refer to the CTRL+ALT+Fx virtual terminals.
When KDE starts up a new session, it restores the progs that were running at log out last time.I am running skype and that prog is brought back but I suspect that KDE is restarting the "bin" (skype-bin) rather than the startup script (skpe) which contains the necessary "LD_PRELOAD" stuff essential to get the webcam operating OK.I can't find where KDE stores the session info, any ideas?

This is the deal. I installed kubuntu yesterday. Now when it prompts the start session screen, I write the user and password, click enter and then starts loading a new screen. It shows an hdd draw, and starts loading some other images, and all of a sudden it prompts me again at the start session screen.

I try to reconfigure Xorg but the Xorg -configure command result in another segmentation fault.
I think that the problem could be related with old configuration (when I install this version of debian I maintain the /home partition and my previous OS was debian 7 with xfce).

View 3 Replies View RelatedThis morning I did a minimal install of Debian to test out xfce and lxde, purely out of curiosity.I tried LXDE first. For various reasons I wasn't entirely pleased, so I removed it and installed xfce4 in a vanilla openbox session. Upon reboot, I was greeted with the CLI. I generated a new xorg.conf file to see if the transition to xfce had altered it, but was greeted with the CLI again after another reboot. I manually started X with 'startx' and noted that the xfce session manager was installed. The xdm session manager, however, was not.Installing xdm fixed the problem, kind of. I am now greeted with an xdm login screen rather than an xfce session login screen. What can I do to have xfce-session be my default login screen?

I installed jessie from a beta/rc shortly before release on my MacBook Pro 13 Retina and have kept it up to-date with apt-get dist-upgrade. Rcently gdm3/gnome-session have stopped working together. When I log in the screen goes black for a couple of seconds then goes back to the login screen. This happens with "System Default", "GNOME Classic" and "GNOME", but not with "GNOME on Wayland". However, Wayland seems to have some other issues. I haven't tried an alternative dm yet, eg lightdm, but the GNOME desktop does work when started with startx.
I've just used journalctl to get logs of what gdm3 and gnome-session were doing at the time. After booting I waited until the clock reached the next minute (19:55) so I'd know at which point in the logs I'd hit enter on my password. I'll post the gdm log separately in two chunks because the forum server doesn't seem to like text attachments and they're too long for one post.
