Ubuntu :: Unable To Login Via Main GUI After Installing NX
Jul 18, 2011
First time poster, and a first time convert to using linux, have mainly been a Windows man but as a software dev beginning to broaden horizons using linux (and Eclipse is real fast in ubuntu!!) Anyway, my problem:
1. I have installed NX as per this form post: [URL]
2. I can log in via the tty consoles on the actual machine, and can still log in via the NX console (into a kubuntu environment), however, I am unable to log in to gnome or kubuntu via the main logon gui on the actual computer.
When I do attempt to logon to gnome/kubuntu the screen flickers and I return back to the main logon GUI.
3. I have since reverted the port 55555 changes to port 22 in /usr/NX/etc/server.cfg and /etc/ssh/sshd_config - I can still NX onto the box, but point 2 is still a problem.
Why I can't login via the main GUI?

When I try and login at the main login in prompt after boot, it just returns me back to the prompt again.
If I login as root it's fine...OpenSuse: 11.3 Kde: Latest

After installing from the LXDE live CD I am unable to login. I type in my username, and then my password, and then the prompt goes back to the username (in other words, nothing happens). I can however login via the virtual terminals.
Could this be an issue with the live cd? Or was it just a bad install?

I've been running Xubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx on a netbook. It's an EeePC 701 which has been upgraded to 2Gb RAM, but the only storage device is a soldered-in (why) 4Gb SSD. At present this prevents me from installing much software. I started a previous thread (link) in Absolute Beginner Talk which pointed me to portablelinuxapps.org, where I found a list of applications that were compiled to a single executable that could be run from any locaton (inc. USB drives): absolutely brilliant for openoffice and skype etc, but it's still a limited list of software.
So I was wondering if theres any possibility to install conventional packages in a way that uses space on a different drive (i.e an SDHC card in this case)? I'm open to the possbility that this may mean keeping the card in at all times. Alternatively, is it possible for an end-user to create the kind of self-contained executables found on portablelinuxapps.org, or can only the developer do it?

This is my problem:I installed gnome-shell, it worked, I was impressed, I stopped using it When I stop using it, I found that it changed my system, for the worse These are the changes it made to my system:Startup services do not run, I have to run programs manually I cannot lock my screen, either by hotkey or the normal menu applet Totem no longer prevents the screen from going blank while playing
Its like some sort of system service is not starting, I'm sure there are other symptoms that I have forgotten. All of these problems are livable, but inconvenient. I should have known better than to mess with my system, but I wish I knew how to reverse it. Naturally I uninstalled gnome-shell but it did nothing.

I'm thinking of making ubuntu my main os and deleting my win 7 dualboot and installing it on virtualbox. Does win 7 run smoothly on virtualbox? I have a C2D 1,8Ghz, 2GB of ram laptop.

I have finally ditched Ubuntu/Mint after 2 years and have now installed Fedora 12. I am excited to give it a spin. This was the first version of Fedora that finally recognized my intel graphics card.
I have 2 questions:
1. How do I edit the fedora/Gnome main menu? When I left click on Applications, etc. I am not given that option.
2. How do I change the login screen?

I recently powered up my netbook... Selected my user log in, entered my password, and after a couple seconds I briefly see what looks to be the console and am returned to the login splash screen... I can Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to the console and log in... but that is as far as I can get. This is the case for Gnome, Remix, and Remix 2D.
I can sudo apt-get (update, upgrade, etc) as well. It is the right password because if I type in a wrong one it presents an authentication failure dialog box.
How can I fix my log in screen and get to my desktop? I am Currently running 10.04.... waiting to get 10.10

I Am Having Problem With My JFS Partition On Which Ubuntu Is Installed. It Is Not Mounting. The Bootscreen Says There Is Serious Problem With Mounting The Partition And It Does Not Load Linux. I Tried jfs_fsck -p and -a But With No Success. I Also Tried Checking For Errors Using GParted.
The Logscreen Said logredo failed and unrecoverable error reading M from /dev/sda5/ CANNOT CONTINUE. Is There Any Way I Can Repair This Or Atleast Get My Data Back?

I upgraded from Ubuntu 10.0.4 to 11.0.4 on a Dell Optiplex. Now, when I boot, I am given the option to boot into different kernels. I select "ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic", which results in a black screen that reads
Code:
init: plymouth main process (58) killed by SEGV signal and that's where it hangs. Pressing ENTER or hitting Esc does nothing. What steps can I take to recover my machine and all the files I used to have on it?

I have an iMac G4 that I installed Jessie on successfully. However, when it boots, one of the last messages is:
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Last line is something along the lines of:
fb: switching to nouveaufb from OFfb NVDA,NVMac
And then the text starts dissolving, and the entire screen cycles through different colors. I presume it is sitting at the graphical login prompt but it's not displaying correctly.
Based on some Google searches, it seems like I should be able to resolve this by editing /etc/modules but I can't get to that point. I have tried to get to a terminal using ctrl-alt-F1 through ctrl-alt-F12. No luck. I tried different yaboot options that were supposed to avoid using the video driver. No luck. How do I get the machine to boot straight to a regular text login instead of the X one?
This machine worked fine running Mac OS X this morning, so I don't think it's the hardware. What I can do.

I just updated from 9.04 to 9.10 (it's a long story, and I still can't go beyond 2.30).The update got rid of WICD, which is what I used and installed network-manager. Network-manager was not working at all, so I uninstalled it again and installed WICD. I could connect perfectly and had no problems.However, now the computer hangs during boot, saying that init can't start network-manager. I assume that something went wrong during the uninstalling process, since it wasn't updated.
This is the message: init: Failed to spawn network-manager main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory.
So how do I update it or manually change it so it stops requesting network-manager?

For some reason Update Manager is not installing updates as of yesterday.I have it set to check daily and notify if updates are available. It has been working without issues for well over a year now.
Update Manager tells me updates are available and presents the list of security, recommended, and other updates. All are selected to update, but when I select Install Updates in Update Manager it returns with a Reading Package Information window overlaid on the main Update Manager window - building dependency tree then reading state information and dumps me back to the main Update Manager window without performing any update actions.

My machine is dual booted with Fedora 14 and RHEL 6. (I have only installed Red Hat because I am studying for RHCE). Just now I tried to install the Banshee player on my Red Hat OS. I ran various scripts inside the directory to see what really happens and after I ran the 'Makefile.in' file my terminal froze. It displayed '/bin/ not found'Then i restarted my computer and I got the following messages:
init: Failed to spawn readahead-collector main process: unable to execute: no such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn rcS main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
init: Failed to spawn readahead main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
[code].....
I tried run level 1 and run level 3 but I get the same error messages.
PS: My Fedora 14 installation is working fine.

I am using rhel 5.3. I am using windows 2003 server 32-bit (the processor is 64 bit. AMD athlon x2). I have installed vmware and installed rhel5.3 64 bit on top of it. Now i am able to login as root from GUI mode (f7 console), but unable to login in text console from f1 to f6. I checked the /etc/securetty. But there was nothing unusual there. I think udev is causing this problem, since google said so. I cant find where the udev.rules file is located that google searches are taking about. How do i enable root login in f1-6 console.

I just tried upgrading to the Natty beta. I am having a problem logging in now. When I boot up I get to the GDM login window and try to log in. Then I get an error message that says: Failed to load session "ubuntu" And then I click log out and it just states me back to the login screen. There is no menu to select sessions or anything on the login screen, just the shutdown menu and the clock.
--Edit-- I fixed part of the problem and I can access my sessions now. I can log in using GnomeShell, but any of the other options result in "failed to load session 'ubuntu'" or "failed to load session 'gnome-classic'". I'm getting the feeling something is broken with Gnome, but I don't know what.

I was recently upgrading from Ubuntu 10.4 to 10.10 when with 14 minutes remaining on my install it froze and quit upon a restart it wouldn't boot correctly.
I decided to put 10.10 on a cd and it boots to a black screen asking for a login then password, login enters alright but the password won't show any characters being entered. Hitting enter results in "pc-login incorrect".

I have used Ubuntu 9.10 for a few months. I like it because it seems faster than Windows XP or Vista. Nevertheless, it has happened many times that I couldn't log in Ubuntu after an update. I thus had to uninstall Ubuntu from Windows and reinstall a clean copy of Ubuntu again.
1. Is this common to you guys or just me alone?
2. What are the causes?
3.Does Wubi play a role in causing this login problem since I install Ubuntu thru Wubi?
4. What are other solutions in solvng this login problem?

For some reason I am no longer able to log into my Ubuntu 9.10 system. I get to enter the password and it accepts it, starts to log me in but then throws me back to the login screen again without even a glimpse of the desktop. What could be causing this? Everything was working fine yesterday and I haven't made any changes to the OS.

I've tried to test 10.04. One, by upgrading a working KK installation. The other, was a fresh install. Both were as VMWare virtual machines.Both installs had the same problem. The install/upgrade process goes smoothly. When the GUI logon screen appears & I click on the user name, I'm unable to type in the password box. Nothing appears. If I then click "continue", the result is "authentication failure".

I have a problem using Ubuntu 10.04. When I try to login, the screen turns black or white for a second and then returns to the login screen, without giving any error. Logging in in tty1 works fine though.
I have already tried some commands that might be of use. "sudo gdm" gives the following error:
Code:
/etc/profile: 29: [[: not found
** (gdm-binary:2265): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
** (gdm-binary:2265): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
"gdmsetup" gives this:
Code:
