There is something wrong with the Xwindows start of my centos5.4 ( 2.6.18-164.el5 X86_64). After several times to try to start the Xwindows, there is a warning message as following:
gdm[5917]: The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. It is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0.

Sometimes I use vnc server and start desktop. The memory use rises about 2gb during this. I need to be able to turn off the xwindows after I shutdown vnc without rebooting. Is there a way to do this?. And I don't need to know how to disable at boot thats not what I need to do.

Recently I deleted files from my root/share folder in an attempt to remove a program which had made the system virtually unusable. Upon reboot of the system I accessed the partition I had just edited and I found that I was unable to login using the login manager, every time I hit login it just returns me to the same screen displaying the message: unable to start session.

I recently powered up my netbook... Selected my user log in, entered my password, and after a couple seconds I briefly see what looks to be the console and am returned to the login splash screen... I can Ctrl+Alt+F2 to get to the console and log in... but that is as far as I can get. This is the case for Gnome, Remix, and Remix 2D.
I can sudo apt-get (update, upgrade, etc) as well. It is the right password because if I type in a wrong one it presents an authentication failure dialog box.
How can I fix my log in screen and get to my desktop? I am Currently running 10.04.... waiting to get 10.10

I have an iMac G4 that I installed Jessie on successfully. However, when it boots, one of the last messages is:
[FAILED] Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
Last line is something along the lines of:
fb: switching to nouveaufb from OFfb NVDA,NVMac
And then the text starts dissolving, and the entire screen cycles through different colors. I presume it is sitting at the graphical login prompt but it's not displaying correctly.
Based on some Google searches, it seems like I should be able to resolve this by editing /etc/modules but I can't get to that point. I have tried to get to a terminal using ctrl-alt-F1 through ctrl-alt-F12. No luck. I tried different yaboot options that were supposed to avoid using the video driver. No luck. How do I get the machine to boot straight to a regular text login instead of the X one?
This machine worked fine running Mac OS X this morning, so I don't think it's the hardware. What I can do.

after playing games using WINE, I noticed that the system went Black screen of death.
I had to hard boot the system and now system is hanging. However, I can ssh into the system from another machine so I know only X windows hung.
I can log in using NX client without any issue, but can not log in from the console.
This is the entry from .xsession-errors:
GNOME_KEYRING_SOCKET=/tmp/keyring-4P86Nb/socket
SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/tmp/keyring-4P86Nb/socket.ssh
Window manager warning: Failed to read saved session file /home/stranger/.config

(I take it putty won't support a GUI)

I am very new to Linux and I hope someone on here can provide some help.
Goal:
I am am developing an embedded application on Linux 2.6 that will hopefully run without a GUI. There will be no user input just simply displaying information to the user in a graphical form. I will be drawing the screen in C and outputting this to the display.
Problem:
I don't know how to draw to the display? From reading and talking with others, I think I can write to the frame buffer and that will output to the display, but I am not sure this is rite. If it is correct, can someone explain how this is done? Is there another way to draw to the screen without using the windows API?

I just downloaded and installed netinst version debian 6.0.2.1. I've had ubuntu before, and several usb live versions...but I really wanted to learn how linux works, and it was suggested I get debian. I've been unable to get anything accomplished, other than the basic install. Can't get gnome, or xwindows. Seems to me like I need more repositories. Need a Desktop! But mostly, I guess, I need a browser so I can hook up to here!
My computer is:
Dell Latitude 2100
2gb ram
Broadcom BCM4312
I tried to get Xterm. Went su, then apt-get install xterm...it's able to 'read' everything, but then no matter *what* I try to install, I get this same answer : E: Unable to locate package xterm
So I research, and it seems like I'm lacking in repositories. Here's my sources.list. I made a backup. I'm having to *type* everything in, on this computer, until I can get a browser working on the linux machine. So if there are typos I have ethernet cable hookup. I know from past experience sometimes this broadcom wireless card can be a problem. For now, I just want *anything* to work, and get some kind of hookup, so I can finish installing. I've reinstalled 3 times, with iso...
Here's my sources.list. Until I hear from one of you'all, I'm gonna look for a better one, and then vi edit it in here...

I am having a problem with the xfs font server and the Xwindows environment. I'm using the RHL9 kernel with RTLinux, the application has been running fine for years on multiple systems, but recently we changed CPUs and now I'm periodically getting microscopic fonts (1 out of 5 reboots). The other times the fonts come up perfectly normal. I've tried changing settings for xfs and XF86Config but nothing seems to work. I've checked the system logs but haven't found anything. I'm running out of things to look for.

I'm not sure this is the cause, but after I changed the properties of gstreamer, by following a fix on VLC freezing during video playback, I cannot control my desktop anymore.Luckily I can still switch windows thanks to docky. Unfortunately I cannot change the tab in the gstreamer-properties so I can reset my change. I changed the video from default to X11.How can I edit it manually from the command line?

My power just flicked off then back on and when my desktop booted back up and I ran startx it loads xwindows into screensaver mode and it's all jacked up, I can't get out of it, no way to log out of xwindows either, only way to shut it down is by killing the processes so how do I clear all xwindows cache or what not so this will stop happening because of right now im locked out of xwindows.

I am using rhel 5.3. I am using windows 2003 server 32-bit (the processor is 64 bit. AMD athlon x2). I have installed vmware and installed rhel5.3 64 bit on top of it. Now i am able to login as root from GUI mode (f7 console), but unable to login in text console from f1 to f6. I checked the /etc/securetty. But there was nothing unusual there. I think udev is causing this problem, since google said so. I cant find where the udev.rules file is located that google searches are taking about. How do i enable root login in f1-6 console.

For some strange reason, my gnome panel does not start up when I log in. I have created a thingy following some instructions that I found in another thread, on which I have to click twice every time I log in in order for the panel to appear. This seems to be related to configuration issue in my user account, because if I create a guest user account, the panel will appear normally. Now if I move my home folder to that account, the panel will not start.
I believe this has to do with the fact that I installed and then uninstalled compiz

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and it hangs as soon as I start to enter my password on the login screen. The way I am currently booting up is using failsafeX which is leading to no sound on my laptop.
I tried deleting .gconf/.gconfd/.gnome2_private/.gnome2 folders and it didn't help
This is the output to the lshw command: [URL]
I put this up since I have no sound on my system in ubuntu ( no effects mode ) and now even on Windows there is no sound (strange)
I also tried deleting the /config/autostart/* files and it didn't help.

I'm creating a script that I want to run every time any user logs in (not only on the GUI, but also via SSH or via text terminal). The script will check if a daemon program is running (one per user or per session, haven't decided yet) and, if it isn't, will start it. I want this to be system-wide, not per-user. I thought about using /etc/profile (or creating a file in /etc/profile.d/) for CLI logins and /etc/X11/Xsession (same remark, Xsession.d) for GUI logins. My problem is that if the user uses a non-Bourne shell (e.g. TCSH) this won't work. Is there any initialization script that is run no matter what shell the user has?

I'm having a problem booting Ubuntu. Last time I used Ubuntu I did 2 things that might have caused this:1- I added a repository to my software sources:
Code:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu (lucid main #xorg-edgers PPA)
deb src http://ppa.launchpad.net/xorg-edgers/ppa/ubuntu (lucid main #xorg-edgers PPA)
