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!
Hi,
This might be odd, but in GNOME Shell 3.10.4 in fedora 20, I used to throw the mouse to the top left of the screen and that would make me feel excited about having all the open windows jam packed and then again selecting one I wanted. It really gave me a thrill.
But, in GNOME Shell 3.14.4, fedora 21 (workstation), I have to "click" on the "activities" on the top-left :-((
Is there any way I can change GNOME Shell 3.14.4 in way to have that feature back?
Hello, as you see from the title I am having problems with GNOME. I wanted to install gnome so I have followed how to do this on official website, but only got the bright gray screen with text "Oh no something has gone wrong" and a button "Log out". Could somebody please help me?
I want to show keyboard layout and selection of language at login screen in RHEL 7.
I have modified the language menu to show "show keyboard layout" and "Region & Language settings".
On clicking above menu items, applications are launched but they are not visible at login screen.
I check the programs are running by taking a remote session.
gkbd-keyboard-display -l us
gnome-control-center region
above two applications are executing but none is displaying at login screen(gdm).
How can I bring the applications at top of display manager(gdm).
I have tried
Hello,
I installed Mint 17 xfce onto a friend's HP netbook a few months ago. Up until now all has been working pretty perfectly.
From this evening, she tells me that after she types in her password the following message appears:
no exec. line in this session file [her password appears here in plain text!] running the GNOME failsafe session instead
The only option at this point is seemingly to click ok. After that, this message appears:
Could not find the GNOME installation will try running the failsafe xterm session
Again the only option is to click ok, then this appears for a few seconds:
Cannot find xterm start a failsafe session
Then it goes to a black screen (though you can see the mouse cursor) on which it stays indefinitely.
She tells me that she wasn't trying to do anything other than web browsing and email checking before this started happening so there doesn't seem to be any logical reason behind it. Does anybody have any idea what is happening and how to fix it?
Hi all ,
How i can disable temporarily screensaver on slackware?

Hi guys/gals.
I installed Debian Jessie with LXDE as my default desktop environment, no problems, except I can't play most games. So installed the Meta Package of the Gnome Desktop environment. Everything appeared to be ok, but when I went to reboot, all I get is a black screen.
I went to the Grub and typed in "nomodeset" to get me back to a desktop.
I uninstalled Gnome (not full removal), but still have the same problem.
When I restarted in safety mode, Gnome was still a desktop option that I could load, which I did. I'm confused. Do I need to do a complete removal?
I tried installing the nvidia graphic card driver as per the Debian manual, and that left me with only a root terminal and no GUI.
I've got about 2Gigs of ram and a 2.4 GHz Pentium 3 processor with an ASUS motherboard. (yes, it's a 12 year old computer, but not used for the past few years)
Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Joe
Greetings,
I have been tinkering around with a distribution called gNewSense, a distribution endorsed and sponsored by the Free Software Foundation. I'm currently running version 3.1
I had a question about it.
I was wondering what the default desktop environment is. It looks to me like either Gnome 2 or the MATE desktop environment. I'm not sure which one it is. Both desktop environments look very similar to me.
A few places on the internet seem to indicate that it might actually be Gnome 2, however, I was under the impression that development for that version of the Gnome desktop has long ago stopped, and, in essence, the MATE desktop has taken it's place and continues to be developed for.
Thank you
fresh install of Calculate linux 14.12.1(GENTOO derivative) KDE 4.14.3. if I click on lock icon or if the desktop times out from no activity the lock screen will lock but not unlock. Being new to KDE I do not know what the proper procedure is for unlock, I can move the mouse cursor but nothing happens no popup for a password?
is there a way via terminal to reset the username and password for my router?
i have recently started working with the terminal and in order to use ssh im going to need to download some software and enter the username and password for the router which i havent a clue what it is. im not sure i ever set the username and password on it????
if i could re make the username and password for my router i would then be able to get this ssh working.
or is this not possible?
