Feb 24, 2011

I turned on my computer today (running Ubuntu 10.10) and it will go to the login screen where it shows the time at the bottom right and the restart and shutdown button, and also my computer name in the middle of the screen but it does not show my account name. My mouse and keyboard work fine there is just know where to login at. I'm still pretty new to ubuntu so I'm not to sure where to begin.

Ubuntu 10.10 amd64 : Suspend doesn't work properlyI just installed Ubuntu 10.10 amd 64 on HP Pavilion dv5-1299ee. but Suspend functionality doesn't work well.First I tried to hibernate and with some error messages it worked.But when I ed to suspend the computer, screen turned off and on two or more times and suddenly login screen appeared. I used Log files to locate where the problem is.

Programming :: Non-root User Determine Which Days The Computer Ran?

Mar 22, 2010

Is there any way a non-root user can programmatically determine which days the computer ran during, say, the last month?

The information is in /var/log/messages.* but those files are root:root 640.

Non of the world-readable /var/log files on the Slackware 13.0 development system can be used:boot Not present if boot logging not enabled (default). dmesg No timestamps. lastlog Not enough info. wtmp Rewritten on each boot so not enough info. EDIT: not correct: by default wtmp is rotated weekly and kept for one month as configured in /etc/logrotate.conf xdm.log Not present if xdm not used. Xorg.0.log Not present if X not run.

Ubuntu :: Login Background / Gdm Theme Has Turned Black

Jun 27, 2011

I just installed xubuntu natty, and the gdm theme (xubuntu-gdm-theme) has somehow reverted to something ugly. The background is black instead of showing xubuntu-greybird.png, the panel bar is light gray, and the shutdown button is now gray instead of a red/orange power icon.

The problem appeared while I was tweaking my account settings, possibly when I used the users-admin tool, but I'm not sure.

I tried purging and reinstalling the following packages:

gdm
xubuntu-gdm-theme
xubuntu-artwork
xubuntu-default-settings
xubuntu-desktop

...but that didn't help.

For comparison, I'm attaching screen shots of my (broken) gdm screen and a correct one from a virtual machine. (Try to ignore the fact that they're different screen resolutions.)

Ubuntu Networking :: Wireless Switch Can't Be Turned On Again After Being Turned Off

Feb 2, 2010

The wireless connection works fine. The wireless switch automatically turns itself on every time I start the computer. However, after turning it off, I can't ever turn it on again unless I restart the computer. And because of this, the wireless connection is disabled until the next time I start the computer.I don't think this is a hardware problem because the switch can be turned on and off, although not in the way I expect.

I'm using ubuntu 9.10 on an Acer Aspire 4740G. The command [lspci | grep Network] shows Atheros Communications Inc. AR928X Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01). the [rfkill list] command shows (when the switch is on)

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

and, as expected, shows (when the switch is turned off)

0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: yes

I just want to be able to turn the switch on or off at any time I want as long as the computer is still on.

Ubuntu :: Slim Login Manager Preventing Computer From Booting To Login Screen

Aug 4, 2011

yesterday i installed slim login manager on my computer (eee pc 1018p, ubuntu 11.04), and now it cannot get passed the ubuntu loading screen (with orange dots underneath) when booting. i tried booting into recovery mode and that didn't work either. i also left the computer trying to boot overnight and that didn't work.
basically, during this loading screen that should eventually bring you to the login screen, i can alt+tab to see the progress of the load. the progress is stuck on

Is there anything I can do from grub to remove slim?or, is there any way I can access my ubuntu partition and save all my files?

Ubuntu :: Computer Locks Up And Then Goes Into Login Screen?

Aug 6, 2010

Recently, ive been having this problem with ubuntu in which while im watching a movie and thus not doing anything else, everything locks up except for the sound (if i attempt to move mouse doens't work) and then it goes into the login screen. Previously, ubuntu would fade away into the login screen.

So is there any way to prevent ubuntu from going to the login screen if the user is not moving the mouse? non-fading login screen?

edit: oh and i also have this sometimes occuring problem where i type my password to login, it logs in, and then it immediately goes back to login screen. A second login works. probably not relevant

Ubuntu :: Computer Refuses Login And Password

Dec 26, 2010

I am running version 10.10 on an HP envy 14.I just updated the drivers for the video cards, and after I installed them, I was prompted to login to the system. I entered my username and password, and a few seconds later the prompt said "incorrect login" and gave me the same prompt over and over again. I KNOW I'm using the right ID and password, so why isn't it working? How can I get around this?

Ubuntu :: Remote Login To Computer On Different Network

Feb 14, 2011

I need to be able to login to my brother's comp, which is in another place quite far away from mine, and help him install some softwares and get some settings done for him, as he's more a newbie than me, but has been only able to install ubuntu successfully. He has a broadband connection and I have one too. I have used ssh over Lan and have been successful in this regard. From my understanding of the manual page, i don't think I can use ssh over two different networks. Which similar command/package will work for me if I want to login to his comp and execute commands as easily as I can do using ssh for two computers on the same network.

Ubuntu Installation :: Keyring - Computer Is Set To Login Automatically ?

Jun 9, 2010

I upgraded to 10.04 this morning and all seems well except when the computer boots up I'm prompted to enter my password to unlock the login keyring.

Until I do that I can't do anything else, including getting a screengrab of the prompt, hence the attachment was taken with my mobile phone.

I didn't have to do this in 9.10 and don't remember changing anything to stop this.

My computer is set to login automatically so I don't really want the bother of entering my password (I know, I know, security, etc etc).

Ubuntu :: Roaming Profiles - Login More Than One Computer At The Same Time?

Jul 7, 2010

I've been thinking about setting up roaming profiles so that I can access my profile and settings from any computer in the house that has ubuntu booting on it. One thing that concerns me is, what happens if I log in using my profile from more than one computer at the same time? A couple examples:

1. I'm working on something on one pc, and go downstairs. A little while later I fire up a laptop down there and want to browse the web. What would happen?

2. I am logged in to my desktop, but let it go to standby. I later log on to a different pc on the network and load the same profile that was logged in (but in standby). What happens to the state of the profile when the desktop wakes up again?

OpenSUSE Network :: Can't Login With RDP On Own Computer?

Jan 22, 2011

I'm new to RDP. When I tried to log in to my account on my own PC using RDP, this is what I saw.

xrdp-sesman output:
starting sesman in foregroud...
sesman config:
ListenAddress: 127.0.0.1
ListenPort: 3350

[Code]...

What am I doing wrong? I'm pretty sure I'm able to type in my password correctly. Also, how do I prevent people from logging in as root? That sounds dangerous.

General :: Get Name (address) Of Computer From Which SSH Login Was Made

Mar 12, 2010

After logging onto a linux machine via SSH, I would like to be able to retrieve the name of the computer from which the connection was made. Ideally I am looking for some command like hostname or uname but that would retrieve the name of the client instead of the host.

This information must be accessible somewhere, since when I log on I get a message that contains the clinent name from the last login:

Last login: Thu Mar 11 18:42:01 2010 from my.address.com

The reason for wanting to do this is to be able to take different action in my .login file depending on which computer I am currently connecting from.
