[SOLVED] (gnome) NetworkManager does not start on login

Hello!
Like the title says, the NetworkManager utility does not start with gnome on login. Every time I log in I have to start it manually by going into the terminal and running su, then running NetworkManager. I have googled and searched in the wiki, but did not find a good answer. Some threads talk about doing something with the gnome-session but it did not work for me.
So, which conf file do I need to edit to have it start on startup?
I hope I provided enough information.
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Yes, and yes. The network-manager-applet is installed (v 0.8.2-2) and my rc.conf looks like this:

You have to deactivate network daemon and add network manager instead, somethig like this:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus !network networkmanager netfs crond gdm)
Read the wiki as RaisedFist said.
Thanks! This solved it.

[Solved] Gnome-terminal does not start (fresh install)

Whenever I install gnome-terminal, I have the following message displayed:
(gconftool-2:28984): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:/usr/bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message
Then whenever I launch gnome-terminal I have this message:
** (gnome-terminal:1102): CRITICAL **: atk_bridge_adaptor_cleanup: assertion `inited' failed
The problem seems to be related to dbus. I have even tried guake which complains explicitly about "No D-BUS daemon running".
Systemctl is telling me that d-bus is up and running.
Any help appreciated.

Emerald does not start at login (Gnome)

Hi, I've just installed Arch Linux and added Gnome. I installed compiz-fusion and Emerald, and added these two entries in the Session startup programs:
fusion-icon
emerald --replace
The fusion icon works fine but emerald does not start. I have to enter emerald --replace in a terminal for it to launch. After I do it, everything just works fine. What am I doing wrong...

bluePoet wrote:Hi, I had the same problem. For me changing "windowmanager" from "metacity" to "compiz" in gconf solved it. You find the relevant entry under desktop -> gnome -> session -> required_components
I was having the same problem and this solution works fine. Is this a bug with fusion-icon, or with gnome?

[SOLVED] PulseAudio does not start at login

I am not sure what happened to my config, but pulseaudio no longer starts at login under Gnome. Attempting to start from a terminal using
$ pulseaudio --start
fails with:
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at localhost, refusing to start/autospawn.
I followed the instructions on the PulseAudio ArchWiki page under "Daemon startup failed" without success. Interestingly, pulseaudio will work with
$ pulseaudio -D
I pasted the output from
$ pulseaudio -vvvv
here -> http://pastebin.com/zJYvY1FS
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This thread helped me figure it out.

[solved] "adsl.service" does not start with "netctl" sometimes

I recently moved from "netcfg" to "netctl".
Solution. I copied "/usr/lib/systemd/system/adsl.service" into a new service and added a line
After=[email protected]
under "[Unit]"

It goes definitely against any logic.
The service file looks good, but I've copied it to /usr/lib/systemd/system/bdsl.service. Same contents - and the new one launches succesfully.
I've deleted the original ...adsl.service file, verified that it disappeared, copied it back from the new bdsl.service file, and it still does not launch.
[EDIT]
I've erased the drive, restored the system from a 1 week old backup, started it - everything worked. Then I'v updated the whole system, including the rp-pppoe package, and the adsl service is failing again.
Downgrading solves the problem. Should I file a bug report?

[SOLVED] Gnome 3 does not follow Xorg InputClasses

Hi,
I own two keyboards with two different layouts.
Before I was using kde and I could configure the layouts using Xorg's InputClasses to match the devices: kde was just not messing with xorg's configuration.
Now with gnome 3 (3.4 and now 3.6), it seems gnome insists in using its own settings and spoils everything that can be done with Xorg.
Is there anybody with an idea of how I can tell gnome to not take care of my input devices settings?
Thank you for any help!
Last edited by kaouete (2012-11-09 13:41:16)

I was having problems with setting the keyboard layout in Gnome via the xorg config files (adding Option "XkbLayout" "gb" to the catch-all keyboard layout which used to work just wan't having any effect) until I discovered that Gnome appears to require you to set the keyboard layout in its own Keyboard applet. Follow the Keyboard Layout link on the main tab and add the layout you need while removing the default US one. Worked for me so hope it helps.

Panel does not start automatically in Gnome 2.24.3

Since Gnome 2.24.3, the Gnome Panel does not start automatically.
I had to manualy add it to the startup group via "Sessions" in order to force it to start when login finishes.
Does anybody has the same behavior?
Should I report it as a bug?

That may be true but it is a real pain since when it happens the only way to recover is to terminate all of the iTunes modules with task manager and start it manually. It also leaves the IPOD in a state that says do not disconnect. You can disconnect since nothing is really happening but there is no excuse for this not to start much faster. When you have multiple users it is a real pain. It ought to be able to either end when finished or better yet allow multiple users simultaneously updating from different libraries.
I guess i will just have to get in the habit of treating it as a single user and start and stop it every time I need it and be suer not to let it run. Not nice because that means waiting for larger Podcast downloads instead of having there ready for me when I sign on my computer.

It looks like you are getting this error when trying to use the RequestDispatcher. There are two different flavors of the RequestDispatcher :ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher that will take a relative path and ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher that will only take absolute paths (ie start with a '/').
If yoy are trying the use the second version of RequestDispatcher you'll need to adjust the path to an absolute path.

[Solved]Laptop does not start (not even bios)

Hi all,
I was about to install archlinux on my laptop. When I generate partitions (I used GPT), I saw something like this:
"If you have a BIOS motherboard (or plan on booting in BIOS compatibility mode) and you want to setup GRUB on a GPT-partitioned drive, you will need to create an extra BIOS Boot Partition of size 1 or 2 MiB and EF02 type code. Syslinux does not need one."
So, I was planning to make this. When I run cgdisk, I was that lthere was a 1007kb unusued(?) space. So I thought I can use this space for boot sector. Then I changed its type to EF02. When I did this, my laptop shutted down quickly and does not start again. When I press the power up button; I hear the usual starting noise, and then it shuts down again.
What did I do to my laptop?
What I tried:
Remove battery, wait for 5 minutes, try again
Remove hdd, try again
Unplug&plug bios battery, try again
Edit: Solved with a shame. Wall-charger was unplugged. This topic can be removed.

2)goto this website : http://toolbar.zynga.com/install/farmville/
3)login with a valid facebook acount
4)Click install, and then click allow, install now, restart namoraka, restart, finish, and then click save and quit.
Now firefox does not start anymore.
Is it usefull when I make a tar file of .mozilla and post it here?

So, when you login, startx is not executed? Or does X start and immediately exit/crash? Do other parts of .bash_profile get executed, i.e., if you echo $DESKTOP_SESSION, does it say LXDE, do you see the results of .bash_rc (prompt, aliases)? Then check if XDG_VTNR is set, and DISPLAY.
(After your edit:) If you only changed the exec line, then I assume X still starts, but startlxde fails? So X immediately exits or something? Do you get any useful messages in the logs?

[SOLVED] CUPS does not start

I don't know if this issue is a bug or if I'am doing something terribly wrong.
I've installed ArchLinux without GUI, just base, as a pure printserver a few weeks ago with only cups running and it worked.
But when I try to do exactly the same installation again on same PC (tried IPFire meanwhile) it is a mess!
First CUPS suddenly needs avahi to be running (enabled).
Without it, I get a 'core-dump' error:
systemd-coredump[###]: Process 255 (cupsd) dumped core.
systemd[1]: cups.service: main process exited, code=dumped, status=6/ABRT
Next cups does not start, does not offer shared printers and is not accessible through web interface until I start it manually.
Than everything works as supposed.
On reboot: same procedure!
Of course I edited 'cupsd.conf' on the server, added
Listen *:631
and
Allow from 192.168.XXX.XXX/24
to all <Loaction> entries.
Though I enabled cups (which in fact only enables the cups.socket) I do not get it to work.
So it seems to be a problem with this non reacting cups.socket, perhaps?
BTW: sshd.socket works.
There are no errors which I could post.
I've also reinstalled serveral times...
PS:
Menawhile I found a workaround:
# systemctl disable cups
# sudo ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service'
but I still wonder, why the intitial configuration which worked till a few days suddenly stopped working...

Than everything works as supposed.
On reboot: same procedure!
Of course I edited 'cupsd.conf' on the server, added
Listen *:631
and
Allow from 192.168.XXX.XXX/24
to all <Loaction> entries.
Though I enabled cups (which in fact only enables the cups.socket) I do not get it to work.
So it seems to be a problem with this non reacting cups.socket, perhaps?
BTW: sshd.socket works.
There are no errors which I could post.
I've also reinstalled serveral times...
PS:
Menawhile I found a workaround:
# systemctl disable cups
# sudo ln -s '/usr/lib/systemd/system/cups.service' '/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/cups.service'
but I still wonder, why the intitial configuration which worked till a few days suddenly stopped working...
Using the .socket will activate cups on access. Which is much better than keeping it running all the time. Unless you want it running all the time.. Up to you.
I'm curious what your cups.service acutally looks like.. since you shouldn't be having to make a symlink manually.. That's what systemctl enable is for, as you probably know. And why not paste the socket too while you're at it.. Mine are at the bottom of this reply. I also added the cups.path so you can compare and see if anything went wrong there.. Mine works great on 3.7.9-1 kernel.
I'm not sure why you're linking cups.service to multi-user.target.wants/ but it should be WantedBy=printer.target.. Have a look below.
* enabling cups.service should create symlinks for the service unit and the path
* enabling cups.socket should only create the symlink for the socket.
