How Do I Run A Application On Top, In A Display Manager Like GDM.(RHEL 7, Gnome 3.8.4

Hello.
I added another language to my Keyboard layout but it is not changed automatically. For example, when I'm in Libreoffice and changed my Keyboard layout to another language and back to Mozillia firefox it is not back to "EN" automatically and I should change it manually.

I use Debian 7.7.

Tnx.

I'm using a Swedish keyboard and switch to English for certain terminal commands. I use English as the system language. In both mint 13 and 15 I was able to keep the Swedish layout after restart; now I have to set the keyboard to Swedish after every restart. In 15 it was possible to have a persistent keyboard layout which differed from the system language. I think it was throught regional settings. In 13 I seem to remember using a command from the terminal which I can neither remember or find. Its not a big thing to set the keyboard layout after restart but its rather annoying. Any suggestions?

I install fgrlx driver on vivid os the driver look like is istalled correct on system and built the necessary kernel modules because the dpkg log not report any errors, i configured the driver by simple commands like:

sudo aticonfig --initial

sudo aticonfig --screen-layout=on

i reboot the machine , but i face an strange issue the boot splash screen is hangup,i cant enter my lvm password to boot the system, i was have a chance to boot into rescue mode when boot to rescue mode the display not read by the system i try to export display by

export DISPLAY=:0

I try to configure /etc/X11/xorg.conf there is not good resaults the boot splash still hang up

I edited the grub , i uncomment "quiet splash" modified by "nomodeset"

i can boot without boot splash but im faced other issue i cant switch to virtual tty

i dont know is this a bug in the driver or in the kernel

any suggest

I am using Debian 7 KVM in a cloud and I find the keyboard buffer in a terminal window is about 35 characters in length thus when I run my keyboard emulator, I have to pause after 35 keys in order not to overflow the buffer.

I want to be able to login and dump the instructions to the KVM server then go to the next one. e.g If I wanted a mass roll out of Yacy search engines or other applications.

I know no Human can type that fast. But my Program can on the PS2 interface.

Hi - I have the most aggravating problem. On my RHEL 5.2 w/s using gnome (or KDE), if you select "lock screen" from the pulldown and then try to unlock the screen with your password you logged in successfully with in the first place, it comes back shaking it's head INCORRECT PASSWORD. I did some digging and the /var/log/secure file is spitting out:

gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix(gnome-screensaver:auth): authentication failure; logname= uid=500 euid=500 tty=0.0 ruser= rhost= user=username

Then below that also:

gnome-screensaver-dialog: pam_unix(gnome-screensaver:auth): auth could not identify password for [username]

I find this is happening on a few of my other RHEL systems too: RHEL 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5.

Help!

I'm trying to install Debian 7.8 on my eMac G4 (700mhz, 640 Mb RAM). I've tried multiple methods but I keep running into problems one way or another. Since my eMac only has a Sony CD-RW drive and a busted Ethernet port I can't install from a DVD nor a netinstall CD which would be the easiest options unfortunately. First I tried using the multiple CD option, which seemed promising at first; until I had to swap to the next disk during "configure the package manager". it won't eject the CD when I use the eject key on my keyboard (imac g3 pro keyboard so I go back to the main menu and select the "eject a CD from the drive" option at the near bottom then things seem to get clustered. When I tried inserting the next disk, nothing else will install. It keeps telling me I need disk 1 again through every step. Then at the end, it tells me the installation is complete before I even install a desktop environment from the final CD. Then I just end up booting into garbled text and errors.

After all of that nonsense, I tried making a bootable USB from the DVD ISO with the OS X terminal. This method usually works with just about anything I've done before. However for some reason Debian apparently simply refuses to boot. As I tried selecting it on the boot menu on the start up, it gives me a black screen then goes straight back to the boot screen with disordered graphics. When I tried booting it from open firmware, it goes to the first screen, then when I hit enter to actually boot to the installer, nothing but errors. Finally I tried booting it straight from the ISO file on the hard drive, that method didn't even work at all.

Could someone point out what I'm doing wrong if possible or perhaps recommend me a different option?

Hello to everyone!

I was working on a linux server before few weeks. There was a grub/keyboard issue. If no keyboard is attached (ps port) the grub isn't loading the operating system. If the keyboard is attached the grub is loading the operating system by default without any keyboard interaction.

The difference is only that there is a keyboard attached. Thats all.

I was searching on the web and one thing came along: "turn on/off 'stop on errors' feature in your bios.". Maybe its this, but tonight I'm not able to check if its this becuase the server is in a remote location.

However I would like to hear what you think of this problem.

Have a good time!

I've recently bought The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, and I can't get it to work with wine no matter what I do. I've followed this tutorial, which just gives me a white screen when I run the installation exe, I've run the script from POL, which gives me the same white screen when I run the exe, and I've tried running it with just wine, giving me the same result. I've tried using opengl in the "display" tab on play on linux, which does't do anything. I've tried installing some components such as vcrun, doesn't help. I've reinstalled play on linux and wine, didn't do anything. And I've tried installing steam and then installing the elder scrolls online from steam and it doesn't do anything.

"playonlinux.log" from installation script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11549385/

"playonlinux.log" from this video: http://paste.ubuntu.com/11549531/

When I start up the installation exe it will bring up a window that looks like this (sometimes the text doesn't show up) or bring up a crash dialog that looks like this. Then When I press "go" or the blank button depending on whether or not the text decides to show up, it will bring up a fullscreen white window and then it will shrink down and freeze, not doing anything or showing anything. Sometimes it will bring up a window like this when I press "go", frozen, saying "play on linux is installing your application."

I'm using the latest version of Manjaro, just updated. And I'm using the "video-catalyst" proprietary drivers. Note that I did get it working with my laptop by just running "wine Install_ESO.exe" and it worked fine. The only difference is the hardware and the drivers, both are running manjaro. Does it only work with open-source drivers?

If any of you have any help, I'd appreciate it. If there is any log files you need I can provide them.

I have a new to me laptop.
On Windows 7 everything is working well. I tried Majaro Gnome, and it worked ok except I could not get the pacman to work, apps to update etc. I then tried Kodora and Suse and on both of those the screen locks up for no apparent reason with no errors. What will happen is the cursor still moves around the screen, it just does not appear to be able to interact with anything. No clicking works, and no keyboard functions work (cant tab, or anything).

Laptop is a Dell Latitude
i5 -2520M
4gb RAM
NVidia NVS 4200M

I dont know what other info would be helpful.
Thanks

CentOS Linux 7 (core)
Kernel 3.10.0-299.el17.x86_64 on an x86_64
local host login:kd
[kd@localhost ~]$

The above is what displays on a black screen.
The program was d/l to DVD and then installed on a usb stick and booted from there. No password.

This is the second installation. On the first, a pw was specified but at login, it would not accept input from the keyboard except the enter key which resulted in Incorrect Password.

Help would be much appreciated.
