OpenSUSE :: Changing Wallpaper Causes Automatic Logout - Suse 11.2 KDE
Mar 21, 2010Just ran into this issue with Suse 11.2. Everytime I try to change the desktop wallpaper, plasma crashes and returns me to the log in screen. This is the first time this has happened and it happens no matter what wallpaper I choose. Desktop effects are OFF. Strange that adding widgets to the desktop does NOT cause this crash, just changing the desktop wallpaper. The computer is using 855GM Intel Chipset.

Mar 3, 2010A few minutes ago I was using google chrome when suddenly the scroll-lock indicator on my keyboard turned on... I pressed the scroll-lock key, but nothing happened, the light remained. I opened a terminal and ran "top" to find what processes were running when I was automatically logged out. I logged back and checked the logs and found the following entries in my auth.log:
Code:
CRON[2971]: pam_unix(cron:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)

View 3 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Stop Automatic Thumbnail Creation And Storage?
Jan 31, 2011I was lurking about my hidden files and noticed the ".thumbnails" directory. I had been browsing the web for about an hour and had opened some image files from my drive.HOLY CRAP! I had over 2000 thumbnails in that directory! Every time an image is displayed, a thumbnail of it is created? Really? Seriously, I don't care what the reason behind this "feature" is, how do I stop it? It is simply unnecessary and a waste of disk space.

View 1 Replies View RelatedDebian Configuration :: XFCE Logout Doesn't Completely Logout Of System / Solution For This?
Oct 17, 2010As a normal user I have activated the functions of the Quit applet, i.e. Logout, Shutdown and Restart are active buttons. I am able to restart or shutdown, no problems. But when I use the Logout button I don't get logged out, just returned to the login shell & I am still logged in as my user. I don't have a display manager installed and I do NOT want to use a display manager such as XDM or GDM. How do I get the Logout button to actually logout the user? It appears I am only getting logged out of the x-session, but I want complete logout.
View 6 Replies View RelatedFedora :: "Automatic" Update Caused Desktop Effects To Stop And Slow Downs / Sort It?
Aug 8, 2011Seems like the latest Kernel (2.6.40-4.fc15.i686) update screwed with my setup a little bit.
This is what happened:
I had about 100 updates to my F15 pending in my taskbar's update notifier.
I let the system update itself.
Reboot and desktop effects don't work.
Takes a long time to open up Dolphin.
electricsheep (OpenGL screen saver) doesn't work.
I'm assuming it's a problem with OpenGL or my nvidia video drivers which I tried reinstalling from mjmwired's guide.
That didn't fix anything.
I'm looking for a point in the right direction or a way to revert back to my previous state before the system updated everything.

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Why Cannot Run Kill From Logout
Jun 23, 2010Since the OpenOffice quickstarter effectively disables the shutdown and hibernate buttons under Lucid, I put a command into my .logout to kill the quickstarter:
Code:
kill `ps aux | awk '/soffice.bin/ && (/quickstart/ || /splash-pipe/) {print $2}'`
This works fine if I execute it manually, but in the .logout file it seems to have no effect.
Ubuntu :: Auto-logout On - Enter ?
Mar 9, 2010Soon after I installed synergy and set up conky and devilspie, I started having problems with the machine loging out automatically.
As soon as I turn the computer on, it auto-logs in, and when I press enter (it seems it works for anything) the machine logs out. After logging back in it's fine however.
/var/log/syslog output:
Code:
(Of course there was log more output, but this is the only thing that seems related. Everything else is about "named" and "dnsmasq")
Ubuntu :: Ssh -X Hangs On Logout When Using Gedit
May 12, 2010I am using Lucid and am having a problem logging out of a ssh -X connection after I had forwarded an X window during it. I don't know if this is the proper place to be posting such a problem but I can think of nowhere else. Please feel free to redirect me elsewhere.At google's suggestion, I tried redirecting the pipes but that didn't help. I am not sure this helps but I did a verbose output of an example ssh session. I login, open a window, close it without doing anything, and then attempt to logout. It hangs which forces me to use ^c on it.

May 28, 2010My partner and I share the computer, so we are normally both logged in.
When we come to turn the computer off, one of us will log out then the other shuts down (to have a clean shutdown), but when either one of us uses 'Logout' the system just freezes, no response, nothing, have to turn the machine off via power button.
We can 'switch user' fine, and everything else appears ok but log out fails, I did try reporting a bug on this, but seems to have got taken over with people with dual screens / SLI cards, taking it over and its not the same thing.
I get the 'impression' its a graphics driver issue, I'm using the 'recommended' Nvidia driver (am at work and can't remember which version sorry).
Ubuntu :: Black Screen After Logout?
Jan 12, 2011If I try to logout or switch user, I end up with a black screen and a blinking cursor. I can type and the letters show up on the screen but don't do anything. I can do Ctrl-Alt-F1 and then "sudo service kdm restart", but I'd rather fix the underlying problem..Google gives several pages with similar problems but they all seem pretty old (2007), and they don't seem to apply to 10.10.

Ubuntu :: Keyboard Layout Changes At Logout / Login
Jun 14, 2010Running Ubuntu 10.04 AMD64 and Compiz with cube enabled. I have a BTC 5100 PS/2 mini keyboard, and if keyboard layout is set to USA it works fine. Keyboard model is set to "Generic 105-key (Intl) PC" and I don't see an entry for BTC 5100.
But every time I logout or reboot, the system adds an entry for "USA International (with dead keys)" below the entry for "USA" in the keyboard layouts tab and then I lose keys like the apostrophe key. I have no idea where these setting are kept. I've checked .gconf/desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd/%gconf.xml, but see no change when I blow the second keyboard layout away.

I have looked at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...io/+bug/214370, tried many of the solutions(ex. installing esound package) there, but to no avail. could pulseaudio be the problem? could it be just some code in a file?

View 1 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Cant Logout Without Black Screen Showing Up?
Sep 8, 2010Every time me or another user uses the "log out" option were faced with a black screen that does not go away, unless the computer is restarted. i've left it for an hour thinking it might have just slowed down or something but that was a no go, and it happens each time you try to use it. the strange thing is if the black screen is up programs still run. i have a media server running most of the time and i have no problem accessing it while the black screen is showing.
Another problem im having is that sometimes when a user logs in they have no sound. the sound icon is showing that no sound is installed, but when another user logs in there is no problem and sound works fine.
Lastly i dont know if this is a feature or a problem. the first user to log in will always have control over the network connection. for example if my mother logs in first the icon to switch connections will show up on the top of her screen and she has full access to what connections she wants to use, also her account is just a basic user account. now when i log in i wont have the network icon on the top of my screen, and my account is the main admin account.

Nov 11, 2010I'm running firefox 3.6.12 with the following add ons installed: Windows Media Player 10, Div X web player 1.4.0.233 and Flash 10.1 r102. Ubuntu is 32 bit as is the Flash plugin. Quicktime, VLC and iTunes application detector are installed but disabled. I get recurrent episodes whilst using firefox where the entire screen goes grey/black and after a minute or so the login screen appears and I have to enter my password get back to the desktop. I suspect that this is flash related as it normally occurs after watching a few minutes of video. Disabling flash reduces the frequency of the problem but does not eliminate it.
