Ubuntu :: Cannot Find The Session Type Menu In KDM?
Apr 21, 2011
I've seen the screenshots and I thought I'd give it a try. I got it off the repos and restarted my system after the installation. But I cannot find it in the Session Type menu in KDM.

So, I thought I'd try Gnome as the default session. Using System...Administration...Login Screen, I selected Gnome as the default session.
When I rebooted, I see an ititial login screen, but when I click on anything, all I get is a black screen and a mouse pointer.
So now I am trying to switch back to the default. So I reboot, hit esc and drop into a root shell, type startx, and I get back to the default environment.
Now, however, When I try to use System...Administration...Login Screen, unlock does not work. I also tried by using su to change from root to my regular ID, but still, when I click on unlock in the login screen settings dialog, nothing happens.
How can I correct this? Is there a text file I can edit as root that will alow me to change things back to default?

I am unable to change session type when not requiring passord on login.
How requiring password was changed:
System/Administration/Users and Groups
Clicked on my User
Clicked "Change" next to "Password: Asked on login"
Checked the checkbox for "Don't ask for password on login"
OK'd, everything
Please try this yourself as it might be hard to understand. But the option to change session type (ie: Gnome failsafe instead of reguar Gnome) is only visable along side with the password field.
Is it possible to make the session type setting visable without requiering password on login?

I installed goblin by run GoblinUI.ymp and logged out.
After I logged out, I chose meego as session type and tried to login again.
I entered correct password, but when I press enter after type password , display change to black and got some message and backed to login session again.
On the other hand, I succeed in running MeeGo Live CD(1.0.1 build 1.4).
I wrote MeeGo Live CD image on USB Flash Driver by using Win32 Disk Imager, and boot that one successfully, although it has some flaw.
Network Settings Window is stuck in workspace and can't move or close, so it cover other appication's window. Internet on toolbar is broken, so I have to run FireFox in application toolbar to use internet.
I'm using Netbook based on Atom CPU and GMA.OpenSUSE installed in my netbook is installed by KDE Live CD image.
Should I Use Gnome to use Goblin, because MeeGo is using Gnome? Or.... what is problem make Goblin doesn't work?

My Ubuntu goes to sleep after 5 minutes. When I wake it up, and enter Firefox, and try to type in an address, it does not bring the dropdown menu with the history of the URLs that begin with the string I just typed. Is there anyway to get it to stop forgetting the history after Ubuntu comes back from sleep?

The indicator applet session gnome-panel applet (the one that lets you change your status for empathy/pidgin, logout, switch user, etc.) has the suspend and hibernate options. My computer will not suspend or hibernate properly (every time I try to wake it up, the hard drive will work for about 4 minutes and the screen will stay blank so I have to restart) and I would like to remove those items from the menu. I would just like to know if there is a way to remove the hibernate and suspend items in the indicator applet session menu. I've already tried browsing around gconf-editor to no avail. If it is not possible, let me know

I have installed both GNOME and Cinammon Desktop Environments in Debian, using the latter as default. I would like to switch to GNOME DE, but there's no session menu (as in Ubuntu/Mint...) available at login.

When I start a second X session using startx --:1, (as either my normal user or root), it goes straight into and LXDE session (Debian's default, I think). Once LXDE is started, there is no applications menu (only run and logout). How do I get it to show the full application menu that my regular user can see when I log in from GDM3 normally?

I was having an annoying problem with icons on my KDE desktop moving out of place, even if the icons were locked. I blamed KDE, but I don't have the knowledge or experience to guess what part of KDE was the problem, so I reinstalled most or all of KDE. That did indeed solve the problem, but it caused two minor new "problems." Both I can ignore, but one I should probably fix. One, the MEPIS splash screen was replaced by a Debian splash screen. Two, on the session menu, root became invisible so I can no longer select it with the mouse; I can only type it in (which I don't mind doing).

I have compiz enabled and I like the effects, but it messes up whenever I open a menu in KDE, like right clicking something or he KMenu. I want to disable it, so I tried an inverted match to unmatch kicker, but it didn't quite work.Right now, I have it only to mach Normal and Dialog windows. I tried to get the window information with the information utility for X (I forgot what it was), but it said the cursor was busy.How can I unmatch popup menus from KDE?

I'd like to find all files of a specific type (as determined by the terminal "file" command) from the command line ... and haven't been able to figure out a way to do so. For instance, I'd like to be able to find all JPEG files in my filesystem, even if their names don't end in .jp*. It would be helpful to be able to combine this with other tests in find, so that I could type something like "sudo find / -atime 0 -size +1M -type adobeflash" or something like that.
I've looked for ways to hook find up to file and tinkered around with a few ideas involving pipes, but nothing seems to get what I want.

Am using old IDE drivers which have worked for me for ages.

Attempting to run k3b as root returns this: localhost mark # k3b unnamed app(3518):

unnamed app(3517): KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly. I am using the IDE-CD drivers. I have /dev/hda and /dev/hdb (cd and dvd rw's). This was working fine recently before my last emerge -u world.

Changing permission and groups of the devices accomplishes nothing.

When I run 'parted' and then type 'print' to see the partitions that are available, I see two entries: /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. /dev/sda1 is of ext3 type whereas for /dev/sda2 nothing is specified for file system type. The LVM flags are set for /dev/sda2.
When I tried to resize /dev/sda2, it gives me the error "File system type not recognized". let me know how to find out the file system type of the partition.

In my system around 73gb(pc-desktop) i have,1 primary partition(windows)-25gb, 1-extended partition(remaining gb) 3 logical partitions were there in (under) extended partition in one of the logical partition is d:drive. in my hard disk d: drive is -/dev/sda5
previosly i was fat -file system , (d:drive-/dev/sda5), i remember i changed the d: drive(d:drive-/dev/sda5) file system to ext4file system ,with following command using terminal
After doing(changing the file system)this one ,i couldnt see the d:drive data
By doing that
1q) Did i reformatted the partition? i think the new filesystem(ext4) has no knowledge of the data that was on it when it had a FAT filesystem.
2q) How to do undo operation,i tried to change the filesystem type to fat/ntfs in terminal using command --sudo mkfs -t FAT /dev/sda5.
Result:its showing text message-'mkfs.FAT: No such file or directory'(not in single quote)
I had very imp data in d:drive

I just loaded octave. I ran through a few examples of how to implement a script file. Everything works until I get to "plot". When I run the "plot" command I get the following.
octave:2> test1.m
error: can't perform indexing operations for <unknown type> type
sh: gnuplot: not found
Just to double check my work, I ran the following code:
y=[1 2 3];
plot(y);

I primarily need to remove several listings from my boot menu. After many updates and upgrades the list is HUGE.I know you can edit the grub menu.lst file, but I don't have one.
[Code]...
And, I did read the guide on removing entries from grub 2. The problem is, some of the kernels in the current grub menu are no longer in synaptic on this install. Currently I have WinXP, Ubuntu 8.10, and Ubuntu 9.10 installed. I want to leave 8.10 installed, but not have it available in the Grub menu. How can this be accomplished? Grub 2 seems quite obtuse compared to earlier versions where there was a simple menu file
