[ubuntu] 18.04 LTS - GNOME - Failed to start session

December 10, 2018, 8:47 am

Greetings,

I've updated my PC some weeks ago from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS and everything seemed fine. Two days ago though I resumed my PC from standby and the login screen (I suppose gdm3 - it looked like this) wouldn't let me enter the password for my user but instead always say something like 'Login failed' as if the keyboard would spamming the Return key on the empty password field. Mouse was still working so I tried clicking "Log in as another user" though there was no other user available. Didn't work either and just returned to the login screen with the 'Login failed' error message. I was able to shutdown and restart the PC with the upper right icon though, which I did in the end. That's where my problem started.

After the restart it suddenly showed a completely different login screen (I'm guessing it's lightdm based on what I could find out). It looked like this:
screenshot50.png

When I try to enter my password on this login screen (username is correct), all it says is "Failed to start session" all the time.
That's where I'm stuck. Don't know what I can do to login to my GNOME desktop. I clearly need help. :confused:

I can switch to a virtual console (Ctrl + Alt + F1) and login there without any problem. Even sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade works.

Based on tips I got in another forum I already tried the following things:

  1. Tried
    Code:
    startx
    in the virtual console which resulted in a black screen with a working mouse cursor. No icons, dock, background, ...
  2. Deleted the following files from my user's home folder
    Code:
    .Xauthority
    .ICEauthority
    and reboot. Just shows lightdm login screen and "Failed to start session" after entering my password.
  3. On Virtual Console 1:
    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
    sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm start
    startx
    resulted in black screen with a working mouse cursor just like before
  4. On Virtual Console 1:
    Code:
    mv ~/.config ~/.config-old
    startx
    resulted in black screen with a working mouse cursor just like before
  5. Temporarily added a boot parameter nomodeset (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/KernelBootParameters). Just boots to lightdm login screen and the usual "Failed to start session" error.


That's where I'm at the moment. I'm desperate and would welcome any help. Please help me get back into my desktop.

[ubuntu] Run a Linux LDAP Server as a Slave to Active Directory

December 10, 2018, 10:44 am

0
I have a client that is currently using LDAP for user authentication. They run 4 Slave LDAP UBUNTU servers on premise. There are a total of 4 more Slaves running at 2 other offices. The Slaves replicate to a Master UBUNTU LDAP server. The LDAP slaves are being used to provide access to specific services like Apache. There is a Samba server in the mix that serves as the domain controller. Users login to the Samba DC for general domain services. I hope that makes sense.


They need to change their current environment. Their Goal is as follows; They want to run the 8 UBUNTU servers as Slaves to Active Directory. They want to continue to run LDAP, but want to point at AD and become Read Only Copies of AD. Their goal would then be to remove the Master LDAP server as well as the Samba Server. The Users would login to AD for general Domain Use, but still need the ability to login to the LDAP Servers for Linux Services.


So- the current situation changes by losing the Master LDAP servers and the Samba server that is used as the DC. Added to this- is the LDAP servers become slaves to Active Directory.


I've found related information out there, but nothing pointing in this specific direction.

thank you.

[server] Networking

Hello,

Posting here because I am trying to find some guidance on the networking end of Ubuntu Server before I decide to do an overhaul backup and wipe. I want to start from the very beginning of how my configuration is setup, so that everyone can get a much better understanding of what may be going on.

I am running a Dell Poweredge 2950 server out of my home to provide myself and others with local storage, media services, etc. The server is running VMWARE Vsphere Hypervisor (ESXi), "unsure of the version at the moment." Installed to this Hypervisor are 4 different virtuals, however, my issue is with Ubuntu Server 17.10. Back in June, I had shut the server down as I would be away for sometime due to work and did not want to leave the server unattended. Friday of last week, I powered her back up with no problems. I knew there would be many updates that would need to be done. When I booted up the Ubuntu Server VM, I had an internet connection but noticed that I could not pull through any updates. However, accessing the web, external network files, etc. was no problem.

After letting the server sit and run for about 2 days, I came back to notice that Ubuntu no longer had an ethernet connection and that all of my past configurations were gone. I have done mast amounts of research of how to reconfigure my connection to no avail and am now stumped and scratching my head. DHCP nor Static assignments seem to work. Any assistance from the community would be very helpful.

Thank You,
Ian

I was wondering if it would be possible to easily (copy over the i3 configuration file and install the relevant packages - what are they?) use the default Manjaro i3 community edition configurations in Ubuntu?

There was a similar post a while ago on r/i3wm which did not have a particularly useful response - https://www.reddit.com/r/i3wm/commen...tup_in_ubuntu/

I just installed Ubuntu on a Lenovo ThinkStation and get this error message:

Failed to open \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi - Not Found
Failed to load image \EFI\BOOT\mmx64.efi: Not Found
Failed to start Mok Manager: Not Found
Something has gone seriously wrong: impor_mok_stat() failed

This shows for a few seconds and then the computer turns off

Booting from USB does not work.

It does not allow me to get into the BIOS

Is this something that is known?

[ubuntu] Migrate server from Intel to AMD

Hi everyone,

I am planning on moving my Ubuntu server to a completely different system and I am wondering if I can just take the hard drives and move them in the new computer.
Since it is currently running on an Intel CPU and the new config is AMD, would I need to do any extra steps, like disable some drivers before moving?
I also have two separate hard drives in Raid 1 with mdadm, if I need to wipe my hard drive with Ubuntu server will I be able to reassemble the raid without wiping them?

Thanks a lot in advance! :)

[xubuntu] After Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS install my keyboard would not work - fixed

December 10, 2018, 1:08 pm

For the last two days I have been repeatedly installing Xubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on a Macbook 5.2 (no idea if thats relevant).
My keyboard layout is Norwegian (no idea if thats relevant either)
Anyway the install process went fine with no issues but each time that I booted into the installed system the keyboard didnt work.

I read a suggestion about trying the Onboard onscreen keyboard and that did work although the suggested sudo command to fix the issue didnt work. Then I noticed that after pressing the '123' button in Onboard, the NumLock key was toggled on (RED), so I toggled it off and hey presto my Macbook keyboard worked just fine!

So something in the 18.04 latest install is switching on Numlock by default which is screwing up some keyboards at least on some machines and some layouts after install - this may just affect Xubuntu but maybe not. As I said this can be fixed by using the onscreen keyboard and toggling numlock off but that a bit lame.

Note for the cure to be persistent in Xubuntu you need to tick off the keyboard setting to remember that last numlock setting, otherwise it defaults to on again.

Hope this helps - please fix

[SOLVED] External HD and android USB connection problem (18.04LTS)

In media I can see in the file manager under my user name 50 subdirectories for HiSuite...HiSuite49 (most of these directories are empty. HiSuite is for access to Android but I would expect they should disappear after ceasing to be connected to my phone. Root is the owner of all the HiSuite directories. This to me indicates why they are not being removed automatically. I am deliberately not currently using fstab to load the XHD at startup


Root is the owner of my XHD's partitions/ drives and they show sequenced subdirectories for each partition which are not being consolidated into one directory per partition.

Is the failure to consolidate the subdirectories a fault implying I need to do a reinstall?

Hi,


I just flashed Ubuntu on my Intel Aero. Everything is working alright, I have Ubuntu startup screen, but my keyboard and mouse don't work. They work at the beginning, I can enter BIOS. But as soon as I enter Ubuntu it stops working. I'm using self-powered USB Hub. Tried to connect the keyboard directly. Still doesn't work. Tried to re-flash Ubuntu. Still the same problem. Please help :(

Multiple Issues when installing 32 bit netboot installer

I'm about 2 weeks into experiencing Ubuntu...and I've learned more than I thought I ever would so far.

I have an old Compaq mini-110 that I'm trying to install Ubuntu version 18.04/18.10 onto. So far I have successfully installed 17.04 (32-bit i386) from an .iso file from the website. This Release works perfectly fine on the mini, however, I would like to update to the latest release in order to download apps and have updates to security etc.. After watching youtube videos, I learned that in order to get the latest release, I would have to download the mini.iso from the netboot installer page. As soon as I choose the option to install I see undefined video mode:314. It lets you pick different resolutions (0-6) but I'm not sure if it's working due to the the next error that I will refer to soon (When installing from the iso, this message never appeared). I've also seen that you can change vga= something but I have no idea how to get to that. It lets me continue with the install. I follow the instructions throughout the install. It says it has installed successfully. I reboot and Instead of going to the GUI, I'm in tty1(?). I sign in and only get a command prompt. I've tried to do the ctrl+alt+F1-F12 but none of them got me out of this. I also saw on a forum that you could Check where display-manager.service is pointing to and if it was pointing to an old lightdm version to switch it to the gdm version. I went to "ls -la /etc/systemd/system" and saw nothing that referred to a display-manager.service. So my questions are: Is the undefined video mode the reason why the I'm going to tty1 or are these separate errors? If they are separate instances: How do I get to change the vga so the undefiended video mode error goes away? Am I missing something in the install that is causing me to go straight to the tty1 instead of going to the GUI. Thanks in advance for your help.

OpenLDAP and phpldapadmin

I am trying to set up a RADIUS server for WiFi authentication. I have successfully set up Freeradius, and am trying to create an OpenLDAP directory to add users via phpldapadmin, however, I can’t seem to get it working. I followed the directions at https://www.techrepublic.com/article...-ubuntu-18-04/ to get phpadmin set up on Ubuntu 18.04 server edition. I installed slapd and reconfigured it. I installed apache2 as well and changed the port in ports.conf to 8080. When I navigate to /var/www/html/phpldapadmin/htdocs, this is the lovely message I am greeted with (see below).

Change LXDE Lubuntu text and image logout.

There you have a guide that I hope you to change the text and the image of your LXDE Lubuntu logout action.
First create a scrit called logou or other - logout.sh

Code:
!/bin/sh
lxsession-logout --prompt " Your message  " --banner "Your logo /path without " \ --side "left | top | right | bottom"
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/...logout-session

Ok now you open the image of lubuntu-logout in /usr/share/lubuntu/images or make your own and put on /usr/share/lubuntu/images/myexample.png

Ok now you need to move to /usr/bin and paste here your logout.sh , you can do this with text mode command cp or with sudo in graphical mode open your window manager for example $ sudo pcmanfm

Now see if your file logout.sh have permission to execute by all users if not apply all users, right click on file and see file permissions.

Now you need to open you lxsession default aplications on your menu → preferences → lxsession configuration
Move to the option menu called → core aplications
Change option → Quit manager from - lxsession-logout quit - to - logout.sh press reload.

If you want you can test the script by pressing Menu → Run → enter this - logout.sh | see if your script run and your logout text and image appears.

Needs a restart to apply.



You also can see /usr/share/aplications - shutdown aplication to see if need any extra path execution on file properties.

Migrating from Bazaar to Git on Launchpad just got easier!

Balint Reczey writes that Debian recently switched from Alioth to Salsa that only supports Git.

Fallout New Vegas crashes after intro

Hi all

I've installed Fallout New Vegas through Steam Play, it launches just fine, but crashes to desktop after the intro without any error messages. I found a New Vegas anti-crash mod and a mod for the drivers, but unfortunately it didn't resolve the issue. I'm on a laptop with an AMD processor onboard AMD graphics. Any ideas as to how to get it run? Thank you in advance.

Ello All:)

I have two windows 10 machines, one laptop and another is a pc at home. I use onedrive alot and i love it since i get a 1TB drive for free since i am a student. But here is my question, i want to start storing things locally but being able to access them remotley. I used to do use putty to make an ssh connection to the homer server and just download my files from the PC to my laptop while at school or work. This is fine and dandy, but i have challanged my self to do something simular to onedrive.

Is there a way i can create a local folder on my desktop or anywhere i please, name it CloudSpace, then just drag files to that folder and each time i do, it will push them to the server as well? i like it this way because then its all integrated and i do not have to open so many apps or other windwos. just drag and drop. that way the local folder is in sync with the server folder.

thanks
