This problem is so damn weird and frustrating that I thought it would be worthwhile to post this solution for anyone who may run into this situation in the future, since I was unable to find any mention of this after much searching, and no error messages appear in any logfiles that I could find either. This applies to a machine with a Atom Processor D4xx/D5xx/N4xx/N5xx Integrated Graphics

Dear Samba-Users, two problems to solve... 1) Trying to authenticate users via pam_winbind against NT-PDC (samba 3.0.4, Debian GNU Linux 3.0). Got shell login and ssh working, but won't be able to login via GDM to gnome or KDE. I do not really understand the difference between login/ssh module stack and gdm module stack. Log auth says something queerish: --- auth.log --- Jul 14 18:34:43

Greetings, I've been subscribed to this list for some time and I'd like to start off by thanking everyone who helps out on it. This is my first post to it, so please be gentle :-) I have several offices set up with RedHat and CentOS terminal servers. We are using CentOS 4.6 and RedHat 4.6 on them, GDM for the display manager, and PXES (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pxes/) for the

Hi, I am currently trying to set up a RedHat 9 Linux client to authenticate against a Windows 2000 Active Directory server.

Hello everyone, Since I upgraded to CentOS 6.8 last week, I am having an issue whereby I log out, and then it attempts to log me in as the same user. I then click on another user and try to log in, but it instantly blows me right out and back to the login prompt for the original user. I do have GDM set up to auto-login at boot to a particular user in /etc/gdm/custom.conf, but it has always

So, we've updated to 7.5, and for two machines--A Dell Precision M4800, and a Dell Precision 7510..both running Radeon cards--we no longer get the GDM Greeter login box NOR can we switch to virtual text login terminals. It's been driving me nuts. The systems do allow for SSH logins, so that's how we get to them, but I've checked the Xorg.0.log and nothing stands out. Did a

Hi, It looks like the upgrade to CentOS 7.6 has been unusually disruptive with the GNOME desktop version bump and a series of moving targets under the hood. The result is some wreckage at my client's desktop installations, which I've been busy to repair since yesterday. First things first. I have a custom configuration of GDM, which consists mainly of two things. 1. Display my

Hi all, I was wondering if someone knows how to "automatically" login as root with gdm and gnome. I have been doing some searching, and havent been able to find a method. I dont want to login automatically all the time - its just part of install setup. 1) kickstart install 2) post section do somethings 3) setup so on reboot auto login as root 4) complete installing some things and

Hi all, I have a CentOS-5 workstation configured to retrieve user id information from LDAP server and password from another kerberos server. If I setup a user entry on /etc/passwd file all works ok, user can logon on GDM and password is verifiyed via kerberos. But If I use LDAP to retrieve user information, GDM doesn't works. On the other side, I can login on console using ldap for

Hello, Does anyone have a working pam configuration that allows gdm logins? My current config works with ssh and bash logins. I'd like gdm to work with usernames like DOMAIN\\USERNAME. MORE DETAIL: ------------------- I'm trying to get a Linux client (Ubuntu 8.04) to authenticate against a Samba domain controller (also Ubuntu8.04). WindowsXP clients work fine with the samba

Hi, We have a few PC with CentOS 4 installed. By default, it runs to runlevel 5, which displays the GDM. I'm just wondering, how do I actually make the GDM to start GNOME automatically (after a successful login) for all normal user account without having to add 'exec gnome-session' in every user's ~/.xinitrc? The current scenario is, only successful 'root' logins starts

Hello all, I have successfully setup winbind with clients pointing to a central ldap server, and have had great results for ssh service logins, however i get wierd problems with gdm login attempts after winbind has been running for a while.

Hi all, On a CentOS 4.2, x86_64 system, I created a new session that is selectable from the sessions list in GDM. To make GDM see the changes, I ran the following: gdm-safe-restart That's supposed to make GDM re-read it's config files. Well, it worked, but instead of staying on vt7, GDM moved to vt9. At first it looked liked GDM had died, but I ran ps aux|grep gdm, and found it

Hello All, I've been discovering the joys of Samba/ADS integration here (the environment is a chip design concern that has chip simulation tools, many of which run in Linux, but some of which only run in Windows. Winbind, and a Linux based NAS server are the cornerstone through which Windows and Linux elements of the toolchain will be able to seamlessly communicate, once we get all the

Hello: I am currently establishing a LDAP installation for my department and hope to get a little help on some of the finer details of the configuration. OpenLDAP 2.3.43-12 is currently installed, configured and running on one of my servers with a few client installations querying authentication information from it. The ppolicy schema has been added to the configuration and a password policy has

Hello, My first attempt to install Gnome is not a bright success. If I boot in runlevel 5, using gdm, I get the login screen, but after login I get sometimes only the root window (no icons, no toolbar, no menu, nothing but keyboard shortcuts), sometimes the icons are here but not the toolbars... If I use startx from runlevel 3, everything is fine. As I don't know Gnome, I have very

Hi Everyone, I've setup file server for my client with these schemes : 1. Samba server is on CentOS box 2. Every user has their Unix accounts 3. Every Unix accounts have their mapped Samba users/accounts with same name 4. They can get access to some shares, eg : [Accounting] path = /public/accounting valid users = alexander, bernard, charlie, david, eugene admin users

I'm having trouble getting the GDM login screen to show up when I connect from a remote host. I'm using Xming on the local Windows machine, but every time I connect to the remote server all I get is a gray window with the X cursor. I have "Enable=true" in the [xdmcp] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf. IPtables is disabled. I've googled around and read through the xdmcp page
