I have just installed the new version 10.04 of xubuntu but I cannot enable xdmcp.
1) the gdm.conf (usualy in /etc/gdm/) is missing (where is now this file?);
2) the custom.conf apparently don't work;
3) the remote tab in login windows are missing
I just installed Edubuntu 10.04 and Its crashed on me twice already (by comparison, I lost 8.10 only four or five times during the entire year and a half I was using it). The monitor goes blank, then produces odd color schemes and then loses the signal altogether, eventually rebooting. It seems to be somehow connected to a non-existent /etc/gdm/custom.conf file. Here's the output from syslog:
May 5 21:16:44 rishon kernel: [ 9036.624038] [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung
May 5 21:16:44 rishon kernel: [ 9036.624057] render error detected, EIR: 0x00000000

If it is possible, what are parts that should be included in it?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI want to create custom errordocument file, and in php when every type of error occurs i want to redirect to my custom document instead of system error files.
I am using fedora 6.
I am unable to find httpd.conf file, where it is located.
I want to modify a file like /etc/gdm/custom.conf from the shell or a script.
# GDM configuration storage
[xdmcp]
[debug]
[daemon]
AutomaticLoginEnable=true;
AutomaticLogin=username;
But the idea is that I can add a line to a section and it check if the section is defined, (add the definition if not), the property is defined, let it undefine (erase the line), (and delete the section header if there is no property defined), etc...
I didn't find anything except gconftool-2 but it do not explain how to modify other files. (there is a shema file there).
there isn't a program/script to achieve this, but can easyly be made for every config file, If someone do something like that, with a little database of which markup use each file, it could become really popular.
Slapd is up and running perfectly well, and I can add and remove entries without a problem. My OS is the Ubuntu based Mint.
So I was hoping for someone to give me a nudge in the right direction for doing this without a slapd.conf file, or directions for how to force slapd to pay attention to a slapd.conf file whose location I specify.
I've tried messing around with /etc/ldap/ldap.conf to no avail, I've tried just putting in a custom slapd.conf file but slapd doesn't pay attention to it.
And to the best of my knowledge I can't find anything written on this specific topic. I can find plenty on slapd.conf's, but that's just taunting me considering I don't even have it on my system.
trying to get everything set up in Debian lenny on my new Toshiba staellite L500. I have successfully installed the wireless drivers and graphics card and have them both up and running.

I've had Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my desktop since it's release. Up until an hour ago, it was working fine. I clicked on an update from the update manager, now booting into a graphical mode is completely broken, (the start-up load hangs at 'Check Battery State ... [0k]'). I restarted my computer, and booted into safe mode, and launched the terminal. This all works fine. I then typed :
Code: sudo gdm start into the command prompt, hoping that I would be able to start things manually. Instead, it spat out this: Code:
gdm-binary[230]: WARNING: Unable to load file '/etc/gdm/custom.conf'. No such file or directory.
gdm-binary[230]: WARNING: Unable to find users : no seat-id found.
gdm-binary[230]: WARNING: Gdm Display: display lasted 0.070467 seconds
The last line was printed about 8 times, with slightly different times, before it gave up and failed. Some information which might help, I have Gnome 2, Unity and KDE (not sure which version), installed. My graphics card is the GTX 275, and I have driver the Nvidia driver 275.21. So yeah, I think the update has gone and moved custom.conf somewhere, but I have no idea on how to fix it. I have a graphics programming assignment due on Friday and I would be eternally grateful if I could get this fixed well before then.
I recently correctly installed a cursor theme in ubuntu 10.04. When I move the pointer around in a window the theme appears but when I move the pointer around on the desktop i changes to the default theme.
I think it's something with compiz because when I shut it down the theme appears on the desktop...
My network works before but now it has follow issue, when I ping google.com, I got Quote:
ping: unknown host google.com but my network still works partially because I can still connect to a DNS listed in my /etc/resolv.conf to get host google.com's ip adress by Quote:
host -t a google.com ip.of.one.dns and then I ping the returned IP result 66.249.89.104, the ping works fine. the issue is that I can't connect to Internet, what I can remember is that I ever removed /etc/resolv.conf and this file was created again by network-manager, and I already verified the two dns IPs listed in the resolv.conf are both correct and works fine with command host.

View 12 Replies View RelatedI have swapped backspace key with ` (grave) key. So I added a layout in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us with the following lines:
key <TLDE> { [ BackSpace, BackSpace, BackSpace, BackSpace ] };
key <BKSP> { [ grave, asciitilde, dead_tilde, asciitilde ] };
Now the backspace and grave work well, but when I press shift + grave (previously backspace key), I get grave, not asciitilde.
This is strange because I tried the same thing (with the same us file) with Chakra linux and it worked without any problem.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe recently moved all our Red Hat Linux machines from NIS to LDAP and we're seeing some issues with name resolution.
One thing I should mention is that DNS (the first nameserver in resolv.conf)is being used by LDAP for name resolution.
Now our resolv.conf file has always looked like this.
Search domainname.com
Search domainname2.com
Nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
Nameserver xx.xx.xx.xxx
The problem is that the above resolv.conf file doesnt work anymore. The only way that our workstations get name resolution is by commenting out the second and forth lines, which happen to be our secondary DNS. This has got me confused because why would resolv.conf be broken by having a secondary nameserver and search path? Shouldnt it just use the first nameserver unless it fails to resolve? Almost seems like just having the secondary in the file breaks name resolution. I cant ping local hosts or anything on the internet unless I do this:
Search domainname.com
#Search domainname2.com
Nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
#Nameserver xx.xx.xx.xxx

None of these jobs is apparently running, however they did run on the 31st (yesterday), but not on the 30th or any other day during the last 10 days that I have logs for. I think I've set cron to run at log level 1, but I don't know where that log goes, I don't see anything like /var/log/cron
So, couple questions:
* If I do something like "sudo -s" to get a root prompt and then do a "crontab -e", which user does that crontab get executed as?
* Where should I look for cron logs?
* Anyone know why a job would run on the 31st, but not any other day?
I find it very frustrating that documentation suggests using PEERDNS=no in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ ifcfg-eth0 in order to override resolv.conf information only to find out that both NM and network init scripts ignore DNS1, DNS2 and DOMAIN settings.So my question is how do I correctly configure resolv.conf settings that will persistently override dhcp information on a F12 system that has NM removed and uses the network service scripts?

at first i tried to install my ati driver, but my x1800 is not supported anymore, so i decided to run xconfsetup to use the default ati driver. After that i have been in the xorg.conf generated by the setup and it seem they got the right driver, it say radeon in the device section. another problem i experience is that everytime i lod KDE my default resolution suck, and when i open the control panel and click on display, everything goes right.
the last problem is more serious, when i order my computer to shutdown either by command line or with the logout button, the screen goes black and nothing happen at all. Its sad beccause so far everything else seem to work fine, i installed my network card and my sound card properly.
I am looking for a generic vesa driver xorg.conf file that will work with most any 1024x768 monitor.
This is for a network appliance and our field people have many different type of monitors.
This product will mostly be used "headless" but sometimes our field people will plug in a monitor.
The intel driver will not even start x without a monitor plugged in so I found it necessary to go to the vesa driver.

I've been trying to make install apache 2.1.8 and php 5.2.3 and work on them. After updating and installing some dependence files, apache and php could both be installed.

I merged my toolbars into one toolbar. This results in having my bookmarks toolbar next to my URL bar.
The problems is that the URL bar apparently chooses the biggest width available with priority over the bookmarks bar, being merged into simply an arrow, which I have to click in order to see my bookmarks.
I would like to give my URL bar a fixed width so that I can see my bookmarks toolbar or to leave the URL bar with a flexible width as long as it doesnt have priority over the bookmarks bar.
I just ran Computer Janitor on my computer and I think it broke Synaptic. The program was cleaning up some files, but then it froze halfway through and I had to force it to quit. Since then, I can't open Synaptic package manager, the Ubuntu Software Center, nor Computer Janitor itself. When I do they either freeze and I have to force them to quite or they just don't show up on the screen, but they're stuck running in the background because System Monitor reports the processor is running at 100% and so I have to go in manually and kill the bad processes running in the background.

Then I clicked on the firefox icon and it brought up Google ...Great!....Then I said ..this is easy..I'll have a look at my share-trading dynamic platform. Searched for Commsec and clicked 'launch Webiress'...and then it hiccupped! I got a message saying I needed Java "Now downloading".....Okay I've had this happen in windows...no problemo.. Then I tried to follow the instructions contained on the download page from Java....thats what started my five days (30 hours now and counting) of misery.
Finally on one of the hundreds of Ubuntu pages I've read I found that there is a bug in java....that prevents it from working with the Firefox that Ubuntu provides. So I cleverly removed firefox ....and went to Mozilla and downloaded a new version 3.6 of Firefox.....followed the instructions at Sourceforge.net (and other places I can't remember). Now I have Firefox in a folder in 'Documents' with libjavaplugin_oji.so linked to ///java/jre.6.0_21/plugin/i386/ns7... But when I try to fire up Webiress I still get the messsage "Java not installed ...now downloading".
