Ubuntu :: No UI Login Prompt At Startup ?

Jun 25, 2010

I don't get a UI login prompt at startup and it makes a sound. I'm using 10.04, though this did happen to me in 9.0x as well. When I press ctrl-alt-F1, I login and sudo gdm stop and do sudo startx this seems to put me at root and there is an error with the applets and the panel does not load. "Killall gnome-panel" does not fix it.

If I simply do startx (w/o going to root), it goes to a black screen and if I press ctrl-alt-F1 it repeats "No protocol specified" until I get the error message xinit: Resource file temporary unavailable (errno 11): unable to connect to Xserver.

Ubuntu :: Startup Script After Login

Jan 11, 2011

I want to run a script after user login (graphical - GNOME login). In fact I want to change the wireless ip address immediately after user login. If I run the script from /etc/rc.local it's not good because it seems to be run before user login (the wireless connection and dhclient are run after login).

Where can I run a script after X user login?

I don't want to remove gnome-network applet.

Ubuntu :: 10.10 Does Not Show Login Screen At Startup?

Feb 4, 2011

I'm a beginner with Linux. I'm using the version of Ubuntu 10.10 installed in a notebook HP Pavilion tx 2000 (Turion 64 x2). My Ubuntu is 32 bits.

I'm passing for the following situation:

When I turn on my notebook, if it is running on battery (even with the battery has 100% of charge), a login / password screen does not appear, and the screen goes dark and nothing more I can do (that I knew!). So I re-start the machine.

However, if the notebook is plugged into electrical energy (with or without battery), a login / password appears normally.

If, with the notebook plugged into electrical energy, I log in Ubuntu operating system, then great. After loaded the operating system, I can turn off electrical energy and the notebook works normally (only with battery). In other words, just the login screen that is with this electrical energy problem.

Ubuntu :: Login Window Missing On Startup

Aug 8, 2011

Upon booting this morning, my Ubuntu 11.04 install no longer shows the login window at startup. The background is still there, as well as the on-screen keyboard I have set to appear at startup. tty1-6 all work just fine, although they they dont automatically connect to wifi so i have to go wired (or learn how to connect to wifi via tty1) if i need to use the internet for this. Before this issue popped up, I had tried out xmonad and upon switching back to compiz, I have to run "compiz --replace" every time I log in which may have something to do with this problem. I also installed and uninstalled gnome 3 before that, so I may have broken something with all that.

General :: Startup Sequence Without Login?

Jun 11, 2011

I have an embedded box on which I am developping a driver using a linux kernel. I frequently need to reboot it and relogin as root.

I wounder whether I can modify the boot sequence so that it directly boots into a bash belonging to user 'root'.

I know that this represents a security issue -- looking at my "use case" this is of concern.

Ubuntu :: No GNOME Login Sound Item In Startup Applications?

Aug 5, 2010

In Lucid Lynx, I am trying to change my GNOME login sound, and I find you can't do it under System -> Preferences -> Sounds anymore. So I followed the recommendation of every search result relating to "gnome login sound" and tried to modify it under System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications. However, there is nothing relating to the GNOME Login Sound or any other login sound in my startup applications list.

How do I add GNOME Login Sound to make it an option in the Startup Applications list? How could it not be there to begin with?

Ubuntu :: Change Directory Of Login Screen Startup Sound?

Mar 31, 2011

I'm not referring to "Gnome Login Sound" I'm referring to the login screen sound. Those 2 drum pats you hear when you start up Ubuntu, before logging in. I was using Macbuntu, and have switched back, however it never changed my login sound back to what it was suppose to be. I knew how to change everything else back, so i didn't just run a script with out knowing how to clean up after it, however this is the only thing I don't know how to do. It keeps looking into the macbuntu folder to get the sounds before i log in. Probably being able to simply set the sound theme in the login screen would fix this issue. I've tried using Ubuntu Tweak, but no such luck. If no one can't find a solution I'll just have to use the other folder from now on >.< However I'm quite certain there's a script somewhere, that I can edit. I just need to know where it's at.

Ubuntu :: Set The Mixer Volume Level At System Startup Or Login?

Jun 9, 2011

How-To set the mixer volume level at system startup or login. A funny story that led up to this how-to first...

I made the obvious mistake of leaving my volume level set to nearly maximum. Of course, Ubuntu's default behavior is to restore the mixer to its last known state - a point of much irritation at that moment. This had been a problem in the past as well, and today was the last straw. So, I did some research, for quite some time I might add, and decided to be a good community member and share my findings. It seems that there are all sorts of opinions around the web. The dominant opinion is that a mixer should always be restored to its last known state, that this is all well and good, and why would you ever want it to work any other way. Lots of people suggested that the startup sound be disabled, which was not a terrible solution, but was still a work-around as it means that the next sound bite to be played is the alarming one.

Needless to say, I wanted to find out what I would call the "proper" way to set the mixer level at startup. As my laptop uses PulseAudio, and my office desktop uses ALSA audio, the methods were different. My focus was for PulseAudio as that was the original purpose. I note here that my method for ALSA is less detailed as it is not the default for Ubuntu audio these days. So, if you are using ALSA, you might have to be a little creative to make my ALSA note fit your needs. I have attached 2 files to this post, one for ALSA and one for PulseAudio.

Fedora :: Startup Stops Before Graphic Login?

Jul 30, 2010

I recently installed akmod-nvidia followed the guide to the t. I revolted and everything worked fine. Now when I startup it goes through all of the services and lists them as ok including the nvidia driver. But at the end it just stops and the text flickers a little bit. Also when I try to do anything with yum I get the cannot retrieve metadata error.

CentOS 5 :: Set A Startup Application After GNOME Login?

Sep 16, 2011

Centos 5.6 - I'm trying to lock the screen immediately after successful gnome user login. My steps...

System > Preferences > More Preferences > Sessions > Startup Programs tab > Add

I've tried the following...

gnome-screensaver-command --lock
/usr/bin/gnome-screensaver-command --lock

Neither of these seem to work from the Sessions gui. Although from terminal I can run gnome-screensaver-command --lock with no problems.

OpenSUSE Install :: Slow Startup After Login / Speed It Up?

Nov 1, 2010

What can I do to speed up the start-up after login?

I am running OpenSuse 11.3 with Gnome on my laptop (Acer Travelmate 2490) and I need about two and a half minutes from login until the hard disk lamp 'settles down'. This is much longer than I have been used to expect from earlier OpenSus versions. Are there some default applications/processes I could ditch?

Ubuntu :: Login Prompt Sound On Startup - Impossible To Disable With Usual Methods

Dec 17, 2010

I've recently installed Ubuntu 10.10 on my laptop -- clean HD, no other partitions.

(It's odd, though; when I go to System -> About Ubuntu, it tells me I have version 11.04 Natty Narwhal.)

Anyhow, when switching on my laptop, a short drumming sound effect can be heard when the login prompt appears on the GUI.

There are numerous threads on the Internet explaining various methods to disable this. I have done everything as instructed in these threads to no avail, including:

1) System -> Administration -> Login Screen -> Unlock -> [enter password] -> make sure "Play login sound" is unchecked (it was already) -> Close

2) System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications -> uncheck "Gnome Login Sound" -> Close

3) System -> Preferences -> Sound -> Sound Effects -> Alert volume -> check "Mute" -> Sound theme -> No sounds -> Close

It's foolproof, really. Nevertheless, when restarting the computer, the drum sound is heard again at the login prompt.

I realize I can simply find and delete the sound files, but isn't that a bit harsh? Surely there must be a more elegant way to silence the login.

CentOS 5 Server :: Start X At Startup Without Running Login Screen?

Jan 12, 2011

I am setting up a CentOS server that has no screen connected, and only has 2 Tesla cards. I have created a minimal xorg.conf and xinitrc file that doesn't load mouse or keyboard, and only creates two screens, one for each card at 320x200x24 bit. This is so I don't waste VRAM on a framebuffer I can't see.

I modified the xinitrc to just load tdm and nothing else as GNOME is a RAM hog. I am then using this setup to render stuff offscreen using OpenGL into FBOs which I read back to CPU and process. Currently for development I just run startx& when I login. I now want to know how to set x server to start automatically at boot. The CentOS docs say that it will try to load the GNOME login manager. The thing is that I don't want a login manager as it is useless as I login remotely via SSH.So:

1 - how to enable automatic x server in CentOS (im used to Ubuntu so not sure how to do this on Red Hat variants)

2 - leave x server running without starting login manager

General :: Login GUI Fails To Appear On Startup In Fedora 13 - Stalls With The F/infinity Symbol

Jun 28, 2010

On startup my machine (a PC a few years old with recent Fedora 13 clean install) seems to be OK until it tries to get to the Login GUI, where it stalls at the f/infinity Fedora logo. The last things I did before shutting down my computer last were uninstalling the mail client Evolution via the GUI package manager and downloading a torrent. Could these have effected such a stuff up? I'm not altogether clear on logging in via a terminal.

Ubuntu Security :: Startup Login Screen Security?

Aug 27, 2010

just migrated to Lucid from Jaunty and noticed that the login startup screen looks more like windoze (shows all authorized users).One of the endearing security checks with Unix was that if you had access to a console you had guess both userid AND password - the system wouldn't tell you which was wrong.I feel that we have lowered security by making the list of authorized users visible on a console. Is there any way to turn it off and force users to enter both userid and password?

Ubuntu :: Alsamixer Startup "speaker" Level (and Screen Brightness Startup Level)

May 23, 2010

I just upgraded to the 10.04 and everything works just fine as before (except for skype but that really doesn't matters as it has already been 3 years I'm using ubuntu and I managed to get it to work only once, for miracle I believe ^^). The only real issue I have is this: when I start up my laptop, after the log-in, no sound will be heared as the "speaker" volume level in alsamixer is set to 0; if I raise it from the terminal running alsamixer (as I don't know any other alternative) everything plays just fine, but the next time I boot I do have to do it all over again... So, how can I change the default startup level of the "speaker" in alsamixer?

PS: by the way I do have the very same issue with the screen luminosity but the other way round as is always starts at maximum brightness and I can't manage to get it to start at the minimum, as it did before. At least reducing the backlight if far more quick but a couple of times I forget it and the battery lasted something like half an hour

Ubuntu Installation :: Unplanned Visits To Login Window - Taken To Login Screen Three Times

Aug 18, 2010

I have used Ubuntu since 7-4; I now have 10.4. However, in the last week I have been taken to the login screen three times. This could be potentially calamitous. Ctrl+Alt +Backspace have by default been disable since 9-4. There is no way I am pressing atl+Prtscr +K. I wonder if there is a new zap command in 10.4, and if so, how to disable it. I have never found the need to go back back to the login window. I am generally using the command line when doing this.
