i am one gnome-user, but need to set up kde/Kubuntu/Mint 9 KDE on my wifes computer. So, i have few questions:
1) how to make kde not to start/memorize previous session after reboot?
2) in gnome-power-manager i can read Battery Health (mAh, Design Capacity...)-something like that in KDE? In KDE Power manager i have no such readings.
3) is there some cleaning tool as for gnome ubuntu-tweak?
I usually save my gedit session each dayas I'd have many text files open at once. In Ubuntu Tweak I set it to remember my open applications after I reboot. Lately I've noticed that gedit keeps reverting to a previous session after reboot

If so, how?
I am currently in a project to set up an LTSP server with 10 thin clients. I am using Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic).
Installing server and booting clients are working fine. Now, according to the need, I have to restrict user session numbers and allow resuming previous user session.
I have achieved to do the first one, but still could not able to setup the second one. As per requirement, if some thin can have power failure, the same session should be restored back. I am confused here, if I need to focus on saving xsessions or saving gnome sessions. I am looking for a concrete solution as I am running out of time.
I am using OpenSUSE 11.4 on my office desktop computer. I would like to prevent users tinkering my computer, since there are personal and important files. How can I ask a username and password? I have one of course, but it is asked only if I log out and then log in. In the first boot, everyone can reach the KDE desktop.I am pretty sure it is an easy task.

What can I do to let it start correctly, or is there a way to disable Akonadi? It's very annoying that every time I start Kmail, Akonadi attempts to start.
Once I halt my desktop machine and then boot it back up, applications previously open will open automatically. Is this some sort of KDE4 feature? Or what process is responsible for this? And is there some sort of file constantly updated about open programs and once I reboot, this file is read by KDE during the boot-up and those previously open programs will be started automatically?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI actually have a Suse running on a partitioned harddisk of 27GB but I prefer Fedore anyway. I would like to install Linus Fedora on my computer to make a dual boot system (Vista and Linus) by overwriting the previous Suse. My question is
Will I be in OS booting trouble (i.e unable to resurect the previous boot screens, windows might possibly be deleted, or not be present in the boot options) if this is done ?
Also, because I have only one disk (the first disk of Fedora 11 downloaded), will it be fine with just one first disk ? (there are several to download but I think I assume I am not going to use all of them during installation, right ?)
1) I got a dual screen and I can drag applications on screen No2. But if I log out, reboot or close the application, it will go back to screen No1. Is it possible to memorize the position of an application on Screen No2?
2) I use workspace a lot. I like to split them by function. I got "Development": Netbeans, firefox (one on each screen), "communication": Evolution, gwibber, empathy (Evolution on 1 and the rest on 2) and "Entertainment" (anything not involving work)Every morning, I have to move my applications to the diferent workspace. It would be great if on startup they just go where I told them to be!

After update in Lucid, cant start the session. As only critical part was Nautilus (on 2.31), how to fix it? I don't have in GDM any session option and no way to approach to terminal and start any session. Only way can be somehow before GDM (Lucid by default don't have Grub) or via Live USB (but how?).
View 8 Replies View RelatedI am trying to VNC into a server to which I have no physical access (but I can ask someone to start a session or something) but can ssh into. I have gotten a VNC session working by sshing in and running vncserver, although once the VNC session died in a confusing manner.
I don't know how to start a VNC session any way but vncserver, which is odd since I'm sure that Ubuntu's Remote desktop should somehow allow me to do this by default. The server by the way is being used as a desktop by someone else. Also, how do I tell if my VNC is encrypted and if it isn't how do I make sure it is?
one month I switch the workspaces(desk1 to desk2), and open some applications, then I tried to save them. till now even I close them always, but they appear after each startup.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having issues logging into my system... After authenticating via GDM, the screen goes black with only the mouse showing and remains this way indefinitely. At first the hard disk is active to a similar degree as it was when logins were successful, but then the system (apart from being able to move the mouse) is unresponsive.
If left for long enough so that the screen goes into power-saving mode, moving the mouse brings up the unlock dialogue that you normally get if you set your computer to lock itself after a period of idleness.
I suspect some sort of file corruption, as I have not changed any settings recently. I have forced checks on all of my disks in the hope it would solve this problem. I have also tested logging in on a freshly created user account I created which gives the same result. Also, starting an xterm session from GDM works fine.
How do i start an alternate X session in ubuntu...generally Ctrl + Alt + F7-F11 is reserved for alternate X sessions right. If I open a tty1 and do something like xinit -- :1 I guess I have something like an X session but it doesn't have any desktop environment like Gnome...what i want to do is if I am running a fullscreen game or something in Xsession:0 can I do something else in a new Xsession?

I'm deploying a Rails application in a Ubuntu 10.04 server withmongrel web server (a lightweight http web server). I connect to server and do stuffs in a ssh client(PuTTY on windows). And I'm getting stuck with a strange issue:1. After I connected to server, I start mongrel with : $ start-stop-daemon -S -d . -x script/server -b -- -p 80802. I left the ssh console and launch firefox from my Win7 box and openthe website, it runs well. I can see the homepage3. I go back to the ssh console. Close the terminal (and window too)it by : $ exit4. Then in firefox, I press F5 to refresh and nothing shows up. It'sjust an empty space in whole webpage. I tried to use addon to capturethe HTTP data and see that te server returns nothing , even HTTPheaders5. I connect to server again, run "ps -Af" to check and see that the process's still running. And again, leave the console, switch to firefox and refresh -> the homepage shows everything. 6. But if I exit the ssh session and refresh browser, the web server returns nothing againI thought that using start-stop-daemon command could help me runmongrel as daemon and then I can exit my session just as apache does.

I'm trying to create a new gdm session in tty8, so I can switch between tty7 and tty8 running simultaneously.
How can I accomplish this? I found some website suggesting to run startx and also startx gnome-session -- :1 vt8 Both result in a black screen, blocking the overall system, not allowing me to go to tty1 nor any tty. I have to run REINSUB to restart the system.

When KDE starts up a new session, it restores the progs that were running at log out last time.I am running skype and that prog is brought back but I suspect that KDE is restarting the "bin" (skype-bin) rather than the startup script (skpe) which contains the necessary "LD_PRELOAD" stuff essential to get the webcam operating OK.I can't find where KDE stores the session info, any ideas?
