SOLVED 0 users logged in

Hello!
While I am logged in my system and I execute 'uptime', I get the following message:
00:12:28 up 5:16, 0 users, load average: 0.04, 0.17, 0.14
The same happens running 'w' and 'who' is not showing any users.
I am using xmonad and urxvt.
If I switch to a tty and login from there, things run normal and my login is counted.
Can you help me troubleshoot this?

In slim wiki:
Login information with SLiM
By default, SLiM fails to log logins to utmp and wtmp which causes who, last, etc. to misreport login information. To fix this edit your slim.conf as follows:
sessionstart_cmd    /usr/bin/sessreg -a -l $DISPLAY %user
sessionstop_cmd     /usr/bin/sessreg -d -l $DISPLAY %user

  • [solved] hook to run commands when user logs in? (before bash profile)

    Is there any way to run commands when a user logs in but before the bash profile is sourced?
    For example, I have a user account with a home directory on /tmp. When the user logs in, the home directory might not exist so there will be no .bash_profile to source. I want to run a script to create the directory if necessary and copy some files into it. How can that be done?
    I thought of putting something in /etc/profile or /etc/profile.d/, but I would like to run something before the user's shell and environment become active.
    I can use /etc/rc.local to do what I want, but I would prefer a hook to ensure that everything is set right when the user logs in.
    Any ideas?
    *edit*
    Solution
    In my case, I found that I could write my own shell script and set it as a login shell. In the script, I can configure everything I need before launching the interactive shell, then clean up anything after it exits.

    Thanks, dammannj. PAM could probably do what I need but I think I have found a simpler solution (see original post).

  • How to disable multiple users logging

    hi
    I posted a question earlier and googled the same question but found no fruitfull solutions.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=748292
    Rather than solving the problem i am looking for a way around it. Is it possible to Allow just one user to login to the website from one PC?
    lets say user opens two windows and both have login page of the website. If user logs in from window1 and tries to login again from window2 (even with same username) the error page displays the message. How would this be possible?
    I do something like this but this doesnt work
           HttpSession userSession = request.getSession(false);
           if(userSession!=null) {
                   System.out.println("Entered here");
           userSession.invalidate();
           userSession = request.getSession(true);thanks

    Thanks for the info. I really thought that this would be a fixable problem. I also thought that it might work when two different users both logged in using ssh only (i.e. when there is no console login). But this also causes problems for the second ssh login.
    What practical work-arounds have people tried? The respondent to your other post (linked to above) suggested that NFS sharing might work, only that ssh logins still don't mount the home directory. Is this the case?
    Thanks for the speedy answer.

  • Error when opening BPEL Console:No domains accessible to the user logged in

    Hi,
    I have upgraded the SOA SUITE from 10.1.3.1 to 10.1.3.4 by applying the patch. Before applying the patch, I run the scripts to upgrade the database for both ESB and BPEL. After applying the patch I made the change in <ORACLE_HOME>\j2ee\oc4j_soa\configdata-sources.xml file for the BPELPM_CONNECTION_POOL parameter. But when I am opening BPEL Console it is showing the error like “No domains accessible to the user logged in". And in the log file I am getting the error like
    ORABPEL-03003
    Incorrect db schema version.
    The database schema version "2.0.4" from the database does not match the version "10.1.3.4.0" expected by the server.
    The database schema currently in place has probably been configured for a previous release; please re-install the database schema and try to start the server again.
    Does anybody knows how to fix this problem?
    Thanks,
    Anju

    Hello,
    I had the same problem and reconfiguring the datasources.xml was the solution. Because the installer replace its values with all wrong values. For example: using polite driver instead OracleDriver, 1522 instead 1521, user and password.
    That solved my problem, maybe you must check all parameters of the datasources.xml and restart the server.

    Particularly the enough systems resources part of it. I've seen this message
    before, but it's been awhile, & the problem was we didn't have enough
    virtual memory on the server & also we needed more tcp/ip connections. If I
    remember right our Unix guy had to change some of the configuration

    Hope this helps.

  • Rmiregistry surviving user log off

    Is there any way to get rmiregistry to survive a user log off in Wni32?
    If not is there a way to get source code so that it may be altered to start as a service and survive a user log off?
    I am using 1.3.1_04 and 1.4.0_01 of the SDK and JRE on various machines and none survive the log off of a user in WinNT. I have my services start and they will survive the log off of a user but I will not be able to service any new connections after that because rmiregistry has been killed.
    I know that Sun has no plans to correct this and there are several who could use this feature. What are possible work arounds?

    I don't know if there's a direct solution but you can split this into two problems that are easy to solve:
    1) You can start an RMI registry from any Java program -- check out
    LocateRegistry.createRegistry(1099);
    2) Using the "Java Service Wrapper" at http://sourceforge.net/projects/wrapper/ you can turn the above program into an NT service that is robust with respect to logoffs.
    Check out the user forums on the above site -- especially the post "Application that starts the RMI service..." on http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=122338 .
    Perhaps someone has a simpler solution ...

  • Exchange Online users logging into OWA On Premises.

    Greetings!
    We are implementing hybrid Exchange Online with Exchange 2013, and we face the following situation:
    When an Exchange Online user tries to access through OWA on-premises, a page appears with a link to the Exchange Online OWA.
    Is it supposed to be this way?
    Why the redirection is not automatic?
    Seems so obvious that the redirect should be automatic that if it is to be this way (the user having to click the link), there must be some technical justification. Can anyone refer me some article about it? For to convince the top brass of the company here
    that it has to be like that!
    Thanks in advance !!!
    Fabio Martins MCDST/MCSA Brasil!!!

    Hi
    As per the information and details provided by you, to solve the problem of Exchange online users logging into OWA on Premises, please follow these steps: -
    The user will be able to use the
    OWA URL points to the on-premises Exchange 2013 server. On the redirection page, you can choose to
    save the new URL to his browser favorites and click on the URL.
    When clicking on the URL, the user will be taken through the authentication process. For OWA, that means that you can try to access his mailbox in Exchange Online &
    Exchange online will redirect the user to “login.microsogtonline.com”, where
    you can enter UPN.
    Once the UPN is entered and you switches to the password field, Office 365 will detect that the UPN domain is federation with an Office 365 tenant. This result in a redirect
    to the on-premises federation endpoint (in this case sts.clouduser.dk) and depending on whether the user is domain joined and domain-connected or uses an external client, you will get
    single sign-on (SSO) or be required to enter your UPN and password.
    Because of the organizational relationship that was set up between Exchange Online and Exchange on-premises during the Exchange hybrid configuration lookups when booking
    meetings, mail tips, etc. also work as expected from Exchange Online to Exchange on-premises and vice versa.
    I hope this information will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • How to set printer margins if using a lot of printers in virtual desktops which are deleted each time users logs off

    Hello,
    i am using Firefox version 31. I have a problem with page setup margins. I need to use left
    30mm; right 10mm; top 20mm; bottom 20mm. I am using VMware floating assignemnt linked clones
    virtual desktops. After users log off - machines are deleted and users next time logs on get's brand
    new VDI's. Users gets printers to VDI using login script from Active Directory.
    Option Explicit
    Dim strPrinterUNC, objNetwork
    strPrinterUNC = "\\some_server\printer_number_1"
    Set objNetwork = CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    objNetwork.AddWindowsPrinterConnection strPrinterUNC
    WScript.Sleep (20000)
    objNetwork.SetDefaultPrinter strPrinterUNC
    Set objNetwork = Nothing
    Each user have different logon script, because they use different printers (different printer names e.g. \\some_server\printer_number_2 ; \\some_server\printer_number_3 and etc. Page setup margins in Internet Explorer are ok. But how to make Firefox page setup margins as i need? For other options i have
    used CCK2 Wizard 2.0.4 tool. It worked fine. Maybe i can put some information in C:\Program
    Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\pref\autoconfig.js I have some usefull data in it allready. I
    have found info that: "Setting print margins is done in the printer settings". I have a lot of
    printers, so i can not set printer margins individualy for each of them. Now mozilla shows top,
    bottom, right, left each 12.7 mm. What should i do if i have a lot of printers in enterprise
    environment?

    Firefox has a profile folder that has preferences to save this. But the config that would need to be changed is:
    print. save_print_settings = True - (default): Save the print settings after each print job
    Locking that preference: [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences]
    Or done manually:
    #In order to check the margins, we need to go to ''File'' > ''Page Setup''.
    #Once this is done, switch to the ''Margins & Header/Footer'' tab.
    #Check what's set there under ''Margins''.
    The following are the default values for ''Margins'':
    Check these values accordingly and change them if necessary.

  • Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to.

    Multiple users logged into one server, each users printer has a different name, application needs ONE name to print to. 
    I'm NOT in any way a Terminal Services expert and I need help trying to get an application program working in a multi-user environment.
    The issue is that the printer changes for every user that is logged in. The application needs to print NOT to the default printer, but to a "special" printer which is selected in the application... let's call it a label printer to simplify the explanation.
    You have your default regular printer, easy for the application to find that one, and then you have a special printer that labels get printed onto. The application needs to know what printer is the label printer. So we allow the user to select that in the
    application and the selection is stored in a config file in 
    C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    I don't have access to the application so I can't change how this works.  
    In the "regular" world, selecting the label printer driver to use should be per machine, NOT per user. When a new user logs into a machine, the physical printer doesn't go "poof" and a new printer suddenly appear. Same printer for all
    users.
    Yet in terminal services, the physical machine is "merged" with the virtual machine on the server. And there can be many users logged in at the same time. So each users real machine (and real printer) is injected into the "fake" terminal
    services machine. The name of the printers is made unique for each user. So the printers DO go "poof" and change names depending on the user logged into terminal services.
    So user "A" logs in and sets up the application to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" (or whatever the name of the printer happens to be), that setting is stored in the ProgramData subfolder, and all is well. Later, user "B" logs
    in, and when they print, the application tries to print to "LabelPrinterForUserA" which doesn't exist for user B or is only accessible by user A. If user B re-configures, that breaks it for user A. 
    SOLUTION 1: The way that /should/ work (in my mind) is that you define one "generic" printer in Terminal Services... call it "Virtual Label printer" and when the user wants to print to it, the print job gets re-directed back to whatever
    physical printer is actually connected to their local workstation. There is a map of virtual printer to actual printer depending on the current user. The application is told once to print to "Virtual Label Printer" for all users.
    SOLUTION 2: Or... there should be some way to make the ProgramData sub folders separate per user. E.g. when user "A" tries to access:
    C:\ProgramData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    they actually get 
    C:\UserData\UserA\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    and user "B" gets
    C:\UserData\UserB\AppData\mfgr\prog\setting files
    So the question I have is: Does either of those solutions exist hidden somewhere in the setup of terminal server? Or is there another way around this issue that I don't know?

    I don't really have a "for sure" answer to this, but because people here can't seem to deal with a question that hasn't been answered I'll provide the best answer I did receive from ServerFault.com user Nathan:
    I can feel your pain with using old software on terminal servers ...the solution I've come up with definitely won't scale as it requires some manual configuration, but I've gotten this method to work with our label printers (which require to be
    printed to an LPT port...yep, that old).
    Share your USB-connected printers to the network on each machine. Then, have the user log in on aunique session for each of them
    (a TS account cannot be shared among computers for this to work) and install a network printer pointing to the USB one they shared. Try to use a DNS name to account for possible DHCP movements.
    After, it should work. Each user can do this since display names can be identical as long as the ports are different (which they are).
    This was clarified by the following series of comments:
    I think you are on to something here, and I originally advised the admin to do this. The problem he ran into is that it setup the printer names in the TS as "printer on usersworkstation"
    and he could not rename it except to change the "printer" to whatever. E.g. the "on userworkstation" remained. I believe there is another way of installing the printer which avoids this, but I can't find it. Ages ago, one used to do NET
    USE LPT2 \\computer\printer password /USER:domain\user /PERSISTENT:YES and then tell the driver to print to LPT2 –  James

    @JamesNewton That's actually the exact method we used. The way around the "network printer" part is to install it as local printer and map it to a TCP/IP port that way. –  Nathan

    You mean in the case where the printers are TCP/IP connected and not local USB / LPT to the users workstation? That makes sense. Wonder if this will work for USB connected printers... –  James

    @JamesNewton You'd share the local printer on the client's PC then on the server connect via TCP/IP to it. You'd need static addresses or use DNS names if DHCP, though. –  Nathan

    Ah. Yes. I see. Looks like the LPT thing should work even with a USB connected printer:superuser.com/questions/182655/… –  James

  • How can I use firefox between windows 7 & windows XP on a network, where we are using Samba server. If a user logs on different workstation(and OS) with same account.

    we have a Linux fileserver with Samba share and have several users.
    The users tend to be in different locations and need to login at different workstations, sometimes the workstation may be WindowsXP and othertimes it is windows7.
    How can we use Firefox & Thunderbird in this situation.
    I find that Windows7 uses compressed files to store the location information.
    when a user logs on to win7 it creates a new account.

  • Putting iMac to sleep with more than one user logged on

    Hi,
    Our family shares the iMca with an account for each member.
    They all leave them looged on all the time and we switch between each.
    I want to force th eiMac to sleep between mifnight and 6 AM to save power.
    When I set this up in Energy Save settings within System preferences, it will not execute and comes back with an error saying that there are other users logged on and this may cause them to lose work.
    Any idea how I can force this to over ride any objections?
    Thanks
    SD

    It sounds like you have scheduled it to shut down instead of sleep. Ensure you have selected Sleep and not Shut Down.

  • How can I get Firefox to run on a network with multiple users logging on with the same user name and password?

    I am trying to get Firefox running on a large network where I have multiple users that log on with the same user name and password. The problem is that when another user logs on to another computer the message comes up that their is already an instance of firefox running on that computer even though there really isn't. Only one instance can be run on the network at one time. I believe it is because firefox stores a shared profile as it thinks it is actually the same user even though it is being run on another computer. I repeat that each user that logs on uses the same user name and password but on different computers.
