Ubuntu :: Way To Load Synaptics And Reload Desktop Somehow?
Jan 16, 2010
I had finally go tmy netbook set up the way i wanted it, everything was working great. The notification popups were annoying me so i was trying to disable them. I used this string in a terminal: sudo mv /usr/ share /dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service /usr/share/dbus1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications. service.disabled
After rebooting i had nothing but a taskbar.No icons, no panels, nothing but wallpaper and the taskbar. I can't even figure out how to open up a terminal.Hopefully there is a way to load synaptics and reload the desktop somehow?

I was playing with a theme (Atolm-GS) and followed the install instructions which stated to back up the /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme directory, and replace it with the one from the theme. I did this, logged off, logged on, got my wallpaper for a second, then the Oh No Screen. I logged off, logged in to IceWM, replaced the theme folder with the original, logged back in to Gnome3 and same thing. Alt+F4 does not get rid of the OH No screen. My ~/.xsessions-errors file contains the following:
/etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started. sourcing /etc/sysconfig/language to get the value of INPUT_METHOD INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method). Trying to start a default input method for the locale en_US.UTF-8. There is no default input method for the current locale. Dummy input method "none" (do not use any fancy input method by default)

I'm running Fedora 15 with Gnome 3. I installed Gnome-Do using 'yum install gnome-do'. I opened it from the Terminal by typing 'gnome-do' but I keep getting an error message that says
Could not load desktop item: libgnome-desktop-2.so.17
Gnome-Do opens but it doesn't display any application I search for and when I try opening the Gnome-Do preferences, it quits.
I installed gnome-desktop-2.32.0-8.fc16.i686.rpm from here: [url] and then installed Gnome-Do. Everything works fine now.

I have installed Fedora 13 sucessfully and rebooted my computer for its first run of Fedora. When it comes time to load the desktop I only get the desktop and nothing else. I noticed that my mouse can run off the side of the screen on the left or right. I've tried rebooting and the only thing that changes is which side the mouse runs off.

I have an Dell 755, and I have installed Ubuntu 10.4 desktop on it, everything works fine. I have it auto login, and run Azureus/Vuse at startup (so it can be a headless Bit Torrent server), it works perfectly. As soon as I try to go headless (no keyboard/mouse/monitor) the machine boots fine (I can SSH / FreeNX to the machine) but none of the GUI/apps load. What I think is happening is that when it boots without a monitor attached it does not load any of the X11 stuff. I need it to. It worked in Ubuntu 9.04 just fine, but now with 10.4 it is a no-go. Does anyone know how to force the X11/GUI to load when there are no monitors/hardware attached? This is the one thing standing in my was of getting Windows out of my house.

I've just upgraded a Kubuntu box to 11.04.It was configured to load the desktop without a login.The problem now is that it loads up to the first four icons on the KDE splash screen, but never completes the last, large KDE icon. It hangs. Anyone know how I can get around this?I managed to boot into the desktop by switching the desktop effects from by using an alternative GUI. But it begs the question, desktop effects worked fine in 10.04 and 10.10 on this PC. Why not 11.04?

What I meant is after trying to load Ubuntu 11.04 Desktop from USB, my laptop directed loaded into a Grub bash like interface. Seems like I could manual load Ubuntu by hand, but the Grub interface are so different, I have no idea how to do that.
I tried 'boot', it ask me to load Kernel first, but how can I found kernel in my USB drive?
BTW, what I am trying to do is install Ubuntu 11.04 though UEFI.

I recently began using Ubuntu 11.04, having a dual boot setup alongside Windows 7. Everything worked perfectly fine until the last update of Ubuntu occurred. After the update I rebooted my system (as you do) to "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-10-generic." When I do this it does one of two things: a) the Terminal loads and the cursor sits there blinking boringly achieving nothing and doing nothing the OS does not get very far into loading. Or b) A number of checks run automatically then pause and it goes nowhere and I'm left with a screen full of System checks. So, what I do is I load a previous version of Ubuntu "Ubuntu, with Linux 2.6.38-8-generic" and this loads no trouble.

I'm making a Home Theatre OS, and I would like my XFCE ubuntu desktop to load up automatically without the use of GDM. This is because once remastered, the GDM cannot automatically log in until it's been set up to again. And the fact I removed all the GNOME icons which took up 50MB of space, so now the GDM interface is all glitchy xD
It basically involves removing GDM, logging in (the login and password are both 'media'), then having an automatic login command to run 'startx'. I've removed GDM on my test environment, and so far managed get in manually by logging in and typing startx. (On that note, do I even need a username and password? Can't I just use the password only for su?)

I have gnome which is the DE I always use, but today I wanted to try KDE so I did a 'yum install @kde-desktop', the installation went ok, so I rebooted just in case and logged on a KDE session, the animation for loading was displayed and when it was finishing it went back to the login window instead of loading the desktop. If I try the KDE live CD, on other computers it shows the desktop right away but on mine it sends me to the login window and the same, looks like its loading but it sends me back.
Gnome keeps working ok, I can even launch all KDE apps installed like Dolphin and stuff but can't run a KDE session, does KDE 4.X have a special hardware requirements?.

I installed openbox and pcman on my old desktop and was able take the desktop ram load from 275mb to 120mb. (openbox, pcman, kupfer, gnome-panel) I was so pleased with the increased headroom and performance that I wanted to do it on my macbook. Usually my macbook has as desktop ram load of about 350mb... which I find excessive as that is heavier than OS X. That's running gnome, nautilus, compiz, and gnome-do at startup.
I performed a similar procedure today to create the same setup on my laptop and... strangely, my ram usage on the desktop is still close to 300mb! I've brought up system monitor and added up the ram of all the processes it detected myself and it only added up to about 50mb. How is it that my desktop is still so heavy in a minimal environment?? (both machines are Karmic 9.10, by the way. The desktop is hardwired to the internet while my laptop uses Wicd)

After upgrading from 10.10 to 11.04, my machine was freezing as the desktop was loading. The mouse pointer would move and some of the basic shortcut keys would work, but nothing on the screen was responsive.
I've got the NVIDIA 7300 LE video card, so i thought it was a conflict between that and UNITY (which I have ZERO interest in running), so I move over to a terminal login and this is what it looks like: [url] (click for pic - apparently, not everybody uses a 55" LCD as a monitor)
I can type like a regular terminal window, but obviously I can't read anything. I ran 'sudo apt-get remove unity' (and then 'sudo apt-get install gnome' when that didn't work) but the desktop still doesn't load and the terminal login tabs are still completely illegible.

I installed CentOS with KDE and Gnome. the computer starts with a console instead of a window manager. When I try to start Gnome (using either startx or gdm), it freezes the whole computer. I can't even get to another command prompt using Control+Alt+F2, when I try to start Gnome.
After rebooting I tried starting KDE using the kdm command, but it prints out some error messages and logs me out of my session. (I've never seen a program force a log out of a session before! I thought that was strange.) I tried to record the errors by using the command "kdm > errors.log" and "kdm >> errors.log", but nothing is written to the errors.log file.
Also, under the (likely?) case that this problem is caused by the graphics card, I ran lspci and discovered that this computer contains this graphics card: VGA Compatible Controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)

I'm not entirely sure if this is where this goes, but problems occurred after messing around with desktop interface areas
Basically after logging in my screen turns black and then seems to fail out back to the log in screen. No error message, nothing. log in -> black screen -> log in
Ive tried to boot in fail safe gnome with exact same result.
Problems started after these two actions
1) was trying to get compiz to handle the desktop, so I disabled "show desktop" through Nautilus ( I re-enabled before logging off however)
2) was stupid and tired and accidentally uninstalled libglib2.0-0, libglib2.0-data, and several other packages through the software center interface. Ive re installed these through root access but I must be missing some files because it still fails to start
Because im not entirely sure what is causing the problem ( failure to render, or missing crucial packages) im not sure how I should go about trying to repair. Is there any to restore factory settings and programs without blitzing out current drivers and apps ?

This morning I noticed that there was an update to the kernel ready in the Update Manager, to version 2.6.35-25. I let Update Manager do its thing and I restarted my computer when it prompted me to.If I select 2.6.35-25-generic in Grub, Ubuntu boots just fine, all the way to the login screen. However, after entering my password, it looks like Gnome is going to load, but it never does. All I see is the default wallpaper and nothing else; the system locks up and does not respond to any input; and the fans start spinning at full-speed. My only option at this point is to do a hard shutdown. I have no problems if I select the kernel I was using previously: 2.6.35-24-generic

Recently I changes settings on Ubuntu Desktop and I choose gnome failsafe login, hence everything loads nice except when the user accounts is load it only appears the background and the terminal. Is there anyway to have the desktop back the way it was with the complete gui interface?

I had just upgraded when after the first reboot I noticed that the black Ubuntu screen (with the little red/white dots) is actually white and buggy. It's unreadable and looks trashed.
After the first login, the desktop wasn't able to load properly, leaving me with a blinking, unresponsive icons and no menubars.
The only way to use the desktop environment is to choose Ubuntu Classic (both with and without effects) and Ubuntu Safe Mode.
I do have nvidia drivers installed (173).

When I load a fresh install of Fedora 14 on my system that the desktop doesn't load completely? It goes as far as giving me the desktop with a background, the icons and status bar do not appear. I am able to right click and open a konsle terminal but only when I am in KDE (failsafe)
What is weird is initially I had no problem. But when I switched to a different monitor the desktop would not load correctly. I have reinstalled the OS since then and still have the same issue.

I am trying to get OpenSUSE 11.2 working. Everytime I install it, it installs with errors but when the user I setup auto logs in to the GNOME desktop, the desktop never loads. I can get into failsafe mode sometimes. I've replaced the harddrive and installed it again = same issue. I've redownloaded and burned a different DVD, verifying the checksum, and running the "check media" option = same issue. I've done a repair install = same issue. I've removed the added Ethernet and modem cards and reinstalled = same issue. I've deleted all partitions from previous install and reinstalled = same issue. Currently, I just defraged the HDD on a windows machine and am running the install once more (one a completely different machine) but what's going on here? I need 11.2 for Clonezilla SE (not 11.3)

I tried to do a clean install of 10.04 on the above desktop. It was previously running 9.10 fine.
I booted with a 10.04 live CD, used Gparted to delete the previous partition that 9.10 was in. Installed 10.04 and chose the option to install in the largest continuous free disc space.
The installation seemed to go fine, but when I re-start the system, GRUB loads, I select Linux, then I get a flashing cursor and the monitor goes to sleep as it shows like it is getting no signal.
When I boot Vista on the same system it works fine.
From the sound of the hard drive, I am guessing that it is not loading the Ubuntu OS, I don't think this is a video driver problem.

Been running into a problem where the desktop won't load after I login. It'll just flash my wallpaper for a second and goes back to this blue-ish background and stays there, so the only solution I found was to just press and hold down the power switch, turn on the system again, and login again.

I am trying to split up partition between Windows and Linux...I'm trying out a few distros for my wife's laptop. I have Live CD's of the latest Fedora and Xubuntu. Started off with Xubuntu and the live CD detected everything very well so I installed it a split up the drive between it and vista using the install manager.
Windows is fine, but after logging into the default Kernel (generic etc..) it doesn't load the actual Xfce desktop, but just leaves me at the command promp ttyl I think. I tried to run "startxfce4" and got an error that no drivers were detected.
There's also a error when I first boot up that something couldn't be mounted. I'll re-post the error info in full when I get back, but where should I get started? How do I get into the actual desktop environment? I also can't get into root, as I don't know what the default password is, so I can't install anything.

During a software update the machine froze for a long time, I had no choice but to hard-crash (hold the power button to shutdown) starting up again I can get to the login screen and log in but there is no desktop environment visible, just a mouse pointer (which can be moved about) on a blank screen. I'm using Karmic Koala with Gnome (I am relatively new to Linux, I am essentially using the default package)

I've just installed 10.04 in dual boot with xp, completed all updates and tried to suspend. My swap partition is the right size and I don't recall doing anything wrong yet when I wake up the computer after suspending it, the monitor doesn't reactivate and I've had to force it to shut down. And also, now it tells me "networking disabled".

I think I used the command apt-get and synaptics to install some programming library which are
{ autotools-dev, build-essential, cmake, cpp, libboost-thread1.35.0,libboost-thread1.35.0, libboost-thread1.35-dev, libboost-signals1.35.0, libboost-signals1.35-dev,libcv1, libcv-dev, libgdk-pixbuf2, libgdk-pixbuf-dev, libgnomecanvas2-0, libgnomecanvas2-dev, libgsl0, libgsl0-dev, libjpeg62-dev,libtool, libxmu-dev,swig,freeglut3 (for stage), freeglut3-dev (for stage), libfltk1.1 (for stage), libfltk1.1-dev (for stage), libgtk2.0-dev (for stage), libltdl7 (for stage), libltdl7-dev (for stage),libpng12-0 (for stage), libpng12-0-dev (for stage)}
and I didn't use anything else and didn't install any P2P client in Ubuntu. And then a few day later, my laboratory received the message that someone in our laboratory used P2P with prohibited in the university. The people in my laboratory pointed to me because they're all using windows only me using Ubuntu. So I would like to ask "Is it possible that Ubuntu using P2P in its background? or apt-get or synaptics using P2P in their process?" If Ubuntu can't do that, I can prove myself. But If Ubuntu does, I still can show to them that it's Ubuntu's program and it's legal.
