Ubuntu :: Desktop Couch Won't Start?
Nov 19, 2010
I think I messed up some permissions needed to run desktop couch.i follwed the instructions here for restarting, but did not read them carefully, and when the processes were not found, I ran the kill commands as root. Since then, desktop couch will not start. I tried a full purge/reinstall, but still no luck. I filed a bug report here, but I don't think anyone has read it yet. I am guessing running things as root reset some permissions somewhere, but I don't know where.

Desktop couchdb builds up a pair of log files in:~/.cache/desktop-couchdb.log.1~/.cache/desktop-couchdb.stdout.1It appears they then get rotated to *.2 and *.3 before disappearing.In my case, having uninstalled Ubuntu One, I think the desktop couch DB is only there supporting Gwibber. Both log files seem to be HTTP access logs - referring to HEAD and GET - not much value really.If the machine is up for several days, these logs get quite large. I think they were up to a combined 700MB after 12 days uptime before I rebooted today.There's a settings file /etc/couchdb/local.ini but the log level therein only seems to affect the log under /var/log/couchdb.Anyone know how to stop this logging under ~/.cache?

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 64-bit, downloaded Adobe reader '.bin', from the terminal
It extracted and asked me for a installation location, to which i put [~]
It then finished the installation.
But when i click on the icon in the start menu or on desktop it fails to start, when i also click on a .pdf document it also fails to start!

I have access to my linux home server , through ssh
I wanna start using now remote desktop , so i can connect to my home server through vnc.
I've tried this old post here , but I could not connect
What I did was to ssh with putty (and Xming) and X11 forwarding on , to start vino-preferences , which seemed to work BUT even though I connect with vnc to my remote server , all I see is grey stripes....
PS I have forwarded port 5500,5800 and 5900 to my home server pc of course

I've recently updated to Ubuntu 10.10. At first I had no problems, but after the third time I logged in, my desktop background appeared (and nothing else) but quickly flashed to a black screen with some error messages (too fast for me to see) and I got sent to the login screen. After trying some more times I got the same problem with some small differences(sometimes my desktop icons showed up, other times it took a couple of minutes before I got kicked out).
I tried running startx from the terminal but got one of these two error messages: Server already running or could not find any listening ports. If I run "sudo startx -- :1" to switch the port I login fine, but as the root user. Gnome works perfectly here and when I login in gnome-failsafe. This leads to believe it has something to do with my user configuration. I've restarted xorg server, installed gnome-main-menu and made sure if got the current gnome package.

Although I have been using Ubuntu for a while, I am still a beginner.This is the second time that it has happened to me and I am unable to find a possible solution in my books on Linux and Ubuntu.Twice I have downloaded updates from Update Manager which required a reboot. Each time I have rebooted,terminal window has opened. I am unable to get out of terminal to the desktop or to enter any other program ( like office,etc). I know that the graphics are still in place as The Ubuntu 10.10 screen flashes on before the terminal black screen appears.(I am in runlevel 2 )A. How can I get out of terminal and onto desktop?

A few months back I reinstalled 11.3 (KDE) over a broken version of 11.3 (kde) the new installation did not allow kde to start. Instead I got a blank screen with a terminal window in the top left corner. If I try " startx " I get the following-
xauth: file /home/fran/.serverauth.2973 does not exist
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
if this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again
xinit: XIO: fatal IO error 11 (resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0"
connection to X server lost after 7 requests (7 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Removing .X0-lock did not help so at the time I resorted to running gnome untill 11.4 came out. needless to say I have now installed 11.4 and still have the same result IE no KDE .

I have a CentOS 5 machine here, running Gnome. It has the proprietary ati screen driver, driving twin monitors in Xinerama. I have it set to auto-login as me. It has worked fine for ages.
This morning when I booted it up, instead of getting my usual desktop, I got 2 completely black screens, with an X-shaped mouse cursor. The cursor will move between the two screens OK, so I guess X has started, but I have no display manager. Or something. I have never really understood how X starts up, so I am now at a total loss as to how to find out what is wrong, and fix it. I can get to a login prompt by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F2, but I'm not sure which files to mess with when I get there. I have studied the X log in /var/log/messages, but there are no errors in there.

I have it configured in the application settings to do that, and I've checked the Startup Applications and indeed it is listed there.However when I start up the icon doesn't appear in the tray and my wallpaper won't change every 10 minutes like it's supposed to until I actually go to System > Preferences and run Desktop Drapes manually.

I use ubuntu 10.04 in VirtualBox (upgrated from 09.10), host os is Win7.
3-4 days ago update of ubuntu required restart of Ubuntu (linux kernel was updated).
After 3 days (i.e. yesterday) I restarted the system. I found that flashlib in Chrome became to work unstable, some artefact appeared, and only scrolling down-up in browser allowed to update view of screen. I run update manager. It showed ~88Mb of updates for last 3 days.
After download of updates, apply changes was failed! I faced this first time (!). I remember message like "can not synchronize file /usr/share/..." or something like that.
I restarted ubuntu again. Now I could not login. System hangs after login. No Gnome menu appears etc.
I tried to fix issue using dpkg. I found that some lib (ure) related to OpenOffice was not assigned (version XXX required, but bersion XXXY found). dpkg offered to solve this by some combination. I did so. Then I run dpkg update, and no errors appeared.
Also I updated VirtualBox to version 3.2.4, updated VirualBox Additions via console terminal in ubuntu.
But still I can't fix problem with gdm/gnome.
dpkg-reconfigure gnome-*** did not help for me.
I tried to check logs, but I have not found something "interesting".
At the moment terminal is the only way to login.

I recently updated to Ubuntu 10.04. On this same machine I've used Ubuntu for 3 or 4 years now. Upgrading from 8 - 9 - 10. I love Ubuntu and use it as my everyday work environment. Anyway, recently when I start my machine in the morning it boots to commandline instead of the desktop. For the last couple days I boot to safe-mode and do a package repair. Sometimes more than once. Eventually I get the desktop to start but it is annoying. When trying to boot to Fail Safe Graphics Mode(?) I get an error stating: "Fatal Server Error: No Screens." The message referred me to /var/log/Xorg/failsafe.log. Here is a snippet of the end of that log file:

Also, I'm using an NVidia graphics card on an HP machine. I installed the "current version" accelerated graphics driver which it says is proprietary.

I installed matlab for linux via the installer. When I type into the terminal as normal user:
Code:
matlab
the program starts perfectly fine. I want now a click-able icon on the desktop (KDE3.5). So when I produce the application shortcut, no matter how I do define the command, it will not start. I did put Command: matlab (tried also matlab glnx86) I joined in advanced: start in terminal (but it does not work either) I did join the complete and correct path...... Somehow....I do not understand why it starts from the console in user-mode without problems with the command but not while using a shortcut.

I was messing around with a few software install packages when I stumbled on a nvidia package for Geforce. I installed it and then later decided I didn't need it. I uninstalled it and when I booted my computer up some time later, my desktop would not load. Only in fail safe boot option do I get a desktop. Other wise It goes to command shell.I tried startxResult:
xauth: creating new authority file /root/.serverauth.3298
X.org X server 1.8.0

10.04, clean installs, running Gnome or LXDE.
IF
- a logged-on user wasn't properly logged off
- the system is restarted
- the same user attempts to log in
[Code].....
This seems repeatable, and happened on 2 different PCs.
When logged into Gnome as another user and trying to sudo a backup of the borked user's home before attempting a repair, a ".gvfs" file is reported "in use" and can't be copied.
It happened to me quite a few times, due to crash or more often power failure, or my sudo-errors. I now keep a few spare virgin sudo-enabled cloned accounts just in case one dies that way.

I just bought a new Acer desktop, installed Fedora 10. No problem getting into run level 3 but if I try to start X I get the following at the bottom of the message
Fatal server error
no screens found
xinit: No such file or directory (errno2): unable to connect to x server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error
I have dug around the internet to see what might be wrong. There are some articles from years ago but to be honest some of it is beyond me.

This is a new install of fedora 11 with Neville NewGuy at the controls. I cannot start Firefox from the desktop. Nothing happens (at all, nada, nix, zilch). When I run Firefox in a TermSess as su i get the following warning:
(firefox:3168): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager:
None of the authentication protocols specified are supported.
and a GUI error box An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for Firefox. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.
Followed by these details Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See [URL] for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.)
But Firefox starts OK. I checked the URL specified and then made sure the nfslock service was started but I can't find a gconf service (should I have found it??).
