I cannot log into the oracle account using GNOME interface

I'm receiving the following message when trying to log into the oracle OS account with the GNOME interface turned on:
GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directory could not be opened for writing. In any case, it is not possible to log in. Please contact your system administrator.
I can successfully ssh into the oracle account via a terminal window session.
df -h on the host does not show a problem with disk space:

Some searching on the internet indicated that the .Xauthority file was the problem.
I noticed that there was no .Xauthority file in the /home/oracle directory. I logged into the oracle OS account via a terminal session and issued the command mkxauth -c. This created an .Xauthority file in my /home/oracle directory. The file has the following permissions which look like they match other hosts we have the Oracle Database running on:
-rw------- 1 oracle oinstall 265 2011-03-08 13:32 /home/oracle/.Xauthority
Any heal is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I obviously had something screwed up in my environment in terms of file permissions.
I decided that since I am new to Oracle VM and management of the Oracle Enterprise Linux VM templates, and that this was a new instance of the OEL5 template installation, I would start over. So I unzipped the OEL5 template, copied over my vm.cfg file which configures the template instance and brought up a new copy of the OEL5 VM instance. I then logged into it as root, changed the oracle account password and started the GNOME interface with telinit 5 command.
I was then able to log in successfully to the oracle account via the GNOME interface.
Thanks for the replies.

  • Cannot log into my Amazon account on my iPad.

    i cannot log into my Amazon account on iPad. when I try to enter my password, the reset password page comes up. I've logged out and back in, but the same thing happens. It happens on both my iPads, but not my laptop. I can log in on laptop.
    can anyone help?

    I have exactly the same problem since I installed ios 8.1. Wish I'd never done it as its made a complete mess of what was a working ipad3, now its unstable verging on unusable using Safari which was my prime reason for buying it.
    A simple cure would be to give us the ability to roll back to a working operating system i.e. ios 6 until this utter piece of £*&p that is ios 8 has been fully tested and is fit to use.
    However as a short time fix the Amazon app does work.

Weird thing is I CAN log into the site (obviously) using that same information so I know it's correct. Kind of annoying. I need my jams. Help! Thanks.

  • Scheduler cannot log into the repository.(BCAG0460)

    Hi All,
    Could anyone please help me in the issue described below?
    We are using BO 6.5 ZABO version for our Business Reporting purpose. The BO application is installed on one server and the BO Repository is residing on another server. We have been experiencing the following error messages, especially during the Weekends.

    On last week of Sept'2008 we faced similar issue and we tried fixing the issue by recreating the bomain.key file & restarting the BO services on the servers, but it didn't help as the actual cause was network connectivity issue between the BO application server and the BO repository server.
    This issue again reappeared on last week of Oct'2008. We tried rebooting the servers and restarting the BO services. The issue got resolved.
    I would like to know the followings:
    1) Why this issue occurs once in a week, mainly on weekends?
    2) Is it necessary to reboot the servers and restart the BO services on a periodic manner? If Yes, what should be the frequency of doing this activity?
    3) What would be the consequences if the BO applications and the BO repository are made to reside on the same server?
    Thanking in advance to all those generous souls willing to help me out in tackling the issue at the earliest.

    Hi Suraj,
    Following information might help you to resolve your query.
    Cause
    There are two possible causes for this error.
    - The WebIntelligence services are set as 'System Account'.
    - The Broadcast Agent was not installed properly.
    Resolution
    1. Change the WebIntelligence Manager and Orb services parameters from 'Log on as' to 'This Account'.
    2. Logon with the local machine administrator account who installed and configured Informix.
    3. Restart these two services.
    4. Re-install BCA following the steps listed in the 'Note for Informix Users' section in the Readme file.

  • Update 10.5.6 Cannot log into POP email account

    After the upgrade to 10.5.6 I cannot log into my email account anymore. I get a message saying that the mail server does not recognize user or password. My wife has an account with the same provider and it works, however, when she tried to create a test account with the same information she gets the same behavior. Additionally I cannot see any of the email previously stored locally, the folders are there but they are empty. Any help would be appreciated

    PS. We have tried deleting the plist in Preferences and a few other things suggested in this discussion thread already, nothing works.

    This issue may be closed.
    The correct account information was entered, but the preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) was freshly saved upon closing Mail, ie., the original, corrupt Mail preferences file was retained, so Mail would not connect to the account.
    When I closed Mail and deleted the preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) Mail was then able to connect to my account and download. I was also able to Import email from a previous version of OS X and this mail was imported to an "Import" folder.

  • After Time Machine backs up my file vault files (after logging out), when I next log into the user account it beachballs permanently during log in.

    After Time Machine backs up my file vault files (after logging out), when I next log into the user account it beachballs permanently during log in.  The backup was successful, as I had to restore after this issue last time.  Hard resetting doesn't resolve the issue.  Is there a Time Machine setting that I should be aware of?
    I have 2011 13" MBP, 10.6.8 and use an external hard drive connected via USB for my Time Machine backups.
    Thanks

    I was able to get it to work.  Thanks for your help.  It's unfortunate the two applications do not work well together.  This is what I did:
    1) Safe boot and logged into the affected user (since the whole issue damaged the account's system settings).
    2) Turned off File Vault in System Preferences. I needed to make some space on the hard drive first since apparently the total free space on the hard drive has to equal or exceed the amount of data currently in the file vault.  I deleted some files and moved others to the Admin account.  This whole process took awhile.
    3) Finally, just restarted and logged in.  The next time machine backup seems to be a significant backup, I assume because it's backing up the user account in a different way now that File Vault is turned off.
    Thanks again!

  • All of a sudden I cannot log into my icloud account

    All of a sudden I cannot log into my Icloud account. Not on my phone and not on a PC. I found a thread that said the first step was to try to sign in to the apple ID to make sure I had my credentials correct. I have done that, so I know I have the correct credentials. My phone has been connected continuously for some time now including this morning. But now I get a connection error. Both on my phone and on the PC.

    Seems to be up and down at the moment.  For the past hour or so I haven't been able to access via the web or from mail apps (phone, desktop, etc.).  Some mail just came through on my phone but it now cannot connect again.
    FWIW, system status is green across the board, but that's always laggy and inaccurate: https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/

  • Cannot log into BT WiFi Account

    Hi,
    When i go to log into my account or load up the BT Opene zone page to add the details I keep coming up against log in details.
    https://www.btopenzone.com:8443/selfcare/index.htm
    I type in my username and password and it just says that it is incorrect? And yet I can log into my BT account, log into here, and everywhere... but I CANNOT log into the bt openzone.
    very frustrating to say the least.
    Help meeeeee

    The log-in details for MyBT and BT WiFi are not necessarily the same. To log in to a BT WiFi hotspot you need your primary email address and password; it's the one you need to access BT Yahoo! Mail. Only a btinternet.com address will do, others such as btopenworld.com will not work. Neither are appropriate for the link you posted as that's for non-BT Broadband customers.
    To get to the internet via BT WiFi as a BT BB customer, you need to connect to a hotspot. When you then try to connect to the internet you will be presented with a landing page where you have to confirm that you're a BB customer (the default) and enter your log-in details as above.

  • In regard to Time Machine. I have two accounts one is an admin account, the other is a standard user account. When I implement Time Machine when I am logged into the Admin account, is the standard user also backed up?

    in regard to Time Machine.
    I have two accounts on one Macbook Pro running OS 10.6.8. One account is an admin account, the other is a standard user account.
    When I initially implemented Time Machine I was logged into the Admin account. I allowed Time Machine to erase the drive and backup the computer. Is the standard user account contents also backed up?
    Also after I completed the Time Machine backup session, I turned off Time Machine and removed the portable hard drive. I plan to return in to Time Machine after being away from the portable hard drive for approximately a month. After a short interruption of approximately one month, when the Macbook Pro is reconnected and Time Machine is turned back on, will Time Machine create a new instance of a backup? WIll the back up contain the standard user account changes?

    Time Machine backs up by default all the user accounts.
    When you reconnect the backup drive after one month, Time Machine will do an incremental backup and it might take a while minutes to hours depending on how much has been changed. With a gap of a month, Time Machine will have to do a lengthier than normal survey of both drives to see what has changed, so it might take some time preparing for the backup. The backup will include everything that has changed since the previous one.

  • Cannot log into windows network account after Bootcamp install

    Hi All,
    I have a 27" Intel i3 iMac with Mountain Lion 10.8.7. Its connected to a windows server. To access my account on the Mac I log in with a username and password. Yesterday I had Bootcamp with a 32bit version of Windows installed. After the Windows was installed successfully, my 'Helpdesk' had to remote access in and run patches on the windows installation. All good so far.
    I tried to log into my mac account this morning with username and password. There is a little red light beside your username. I had no luck what so ever. My account has vanished of my mac. I could 'locally' log in under the adminstrator account. There was no sign of my account in the users & groups.
    I had back upped my files except for the download folder. I eventually found the download folder and was able to back that up.
    please please can someone explain what has happened here.
    My IT guy has no Apple trianing and wants to remove my mac and replace it with the a PC because they support them. I feel it was a bad bootcamp installtion done by the IT tech, he did mention that he installed a 32 bit windows instead of a 64 bit. Its lack of trainign and understanding that has caused this.
    I am trying to make an argument to say that it was simplay a bad Bootcamp installtion and try and find simliar cases to back it up.
    Please help

    Mac partition was still there as I was able to log into the Administrator account on the mac. But when I went into users and groups there was no sign of my account. I'll agree it was a bad install, jsut need to explain it and back it up so that I can make that argument.

  • I have two facebook accounts availible when I click the facebook icon in aperture it tries to log into the disabled account. It doesn't give me any option to continue making an album for the enabled account. Why?

    I have two facebook accounts availible when I click the facebook icon in aperture it tries to log into the disabled account. It doesn't give me any option to continue making an album for the enabled account. Why?

    I suppose I could delete it, but the whole point of multiple accounts is so I can post to either. One is mine, one is my wife's. If it is not enabled why would I need to log into it to post to my own account. The system has no problem associating existing albums with my account, I is only failing to allow me to choose only my account to create an new one. It is clearly designed to handle multiple accounts, but seems to have a bug directing it to ask for the password for a disabled account instead of allowing selection of and posting to the enabled one.
