<br><br>I ran into the same problem as you way back in 2005. At that point, the
<br>answer was to configure your programs to use an lpr command for printing.

Every year, CS hosts a site for the ACM Mid-Atlantic
<br>Programming Contest. <a href="http://midatl.radford.edu/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://midatl.radford.edu/</a> We'll be hosting
<br>about 26 teams. Each team will use a Linux workstation, and accounts
<br>are wiped clean and recreated before and after a practice session.
<br><br>We're running Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) Linux on our contest computers.
<br>Teams can use either KDE or Gnome. So actually we're running
<br>Kubuntu, which starts kdm instead of gdm. Apparently there is a bug
<br>in the user switcher such that under Gnome, it does not work with kdm.
<br>When a team account starts a Gnome session for the first time, they
<br>get an error window that warns that "User Switcher has quit
<br>unexpectedly ...". They need to click on "Don't reload" to make it
<br>go away.
<br><br>We do not need the user switcher for the contest, and we'd rather not
<br>have the teams be confused / bothered by the error window. I've tried
<br>all sorts of things with the gnome / gconf / etc setup to try to have
<br>the user switcher not be loaded / attempted, but to no avail.
<br><br>Question: Does anyone know how to tweak the Gnome or gconf setup such
<br>that when an account is created and the user starts Gnome (or KDE) for
<br>the first time, the User Switcher feature will not be included in the
<br>setup at all, and thus not generate the error window?
<br><br>Thanks.

<br>It was working fine on 9.04 for me.

It seems that the consensus is the combination of ssh keys and having the repo in AFS space.<br><br>I took Tom's advice and tried to enable KerberosGetAFSToken in the sshd_config of the remote machine and see if that worked, but it errored when I restarted sshd saying that it was an unknown option. After doing some searching using Google, apparently that binary had not been configured with AFS support.<br>
<br>I decided that instead of making it work with AFS that I'd just set up a repo on a disk local to the server as Dr. Brown suggested. Did some testing last night, no problem. Did testing this morning and it worked as well. So I've got something working for the time being, though it's owned by me and running as me. I'm not sure that's how I want to leave it, but as I'm the only one who will probably ever use it, I'll take it.<br>
<br>Thanks again everyone for the thoughts and suggestions!<br><br>Brian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 2:51 PM, Robert G.

You should be able to configure your ssh client to use and delegate your<br>

I thought it might have had something to do with AFS tokens, as I do use a key to log in (due to the very reason you stated....I had done it after using the svn repo on community.oit and constantly being asked for my password).<br>
<br>I have an alias set up on my machine, 'nksh' that actually runs 'ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no'. I assumed that this would take care of the AFS token, as if I run ssh without it, I have no access to anything in my home dir). <br>
<br>I did take Jeff's advice and ran my nksh alias into pils, then ran klog. I then tried to do a checkout via svn+ssh and got the same thing :-/<br><br>That being said, for giggles I just tried it again after doing that (some time after...), and it appears to be working! <br>
<br>So, assuming that this did work, a few questions:<br><br>1) is there a reason it wouldn't have happened immediately?<br>2) does "ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -o GSSAPIAuthentication=no" eliminate the need for klog? I'd ssh'd in several times before that and it didn't work. It appears that only after running klog did it work.<br>
<br>(ok, so that's 2,versus "a few"....)<br><br>Thanks very much for your help!<br><br>Brian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 29, 2009 at 9:34 AM, Jeff Abbott <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=24725497&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">jeff.abbott@...</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Fast forward to last night. I needed one of the documents stored there<br>
and was eager to use my svn repo to check it out and edit it. However,<br>
when I ran the command:<br>
<br>
svn co svn+ssh://<a href="http://pils.netcom.duke.edu/afs/acpub/users14/mbjohn/svn/repo" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">pils.netcom.duke.edu/afs/acpub/users14/mbjohn/svn/repo</a><br></div>

<br>
I get<br>
<br>
svn: Can't open file '/afs/acpub/users14/mbjohn/svn/repo/format':<br>
Permission denied<br>
</div></blockquote>
<br>
The first thing that springs to my mind is AFS tokens. Are you using a private key to connect to <a href="http://pils.netcom.duke.edu" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">pils.netcom.duke.edu</a>? If so, then you might need to connect using your password once, do a klog, and then do the checkout again. You'd need to klog once every 10 hours, or not use a key to connect (which is a hassle, since Subversion makes 3 or 4 connections each time you try to do something). Another possibility would be granting system:anyuser read rights to ~mbjohn/svn/, but that's probably also not what you want.<br>
<br>
Hope that helps,<br>
Jeff<br>

<br>Just to throw this out there, I am using F11 on my laptop, which spends most of its time docked. I installed the system-config-display package and have everything set up correctly in there -- it recognizes the attached monitor as a Dell 1905FP, has the correct resolution (1280x1024). However, when docked, I can tell that I've got portions of my desktop going off the monitor -- at login, I don't see the options at the bottom for language, session, etc. When I'm logged in, maximized apps stop at the edges, as does my panel at the top, but when I put on a wallpaper with cute penguins at the center of it, and use "center", a quarter of the penguins end up at the bottom quarter of my screen. When I go to 'display' under 'preferences' (as opposed to 'administration', I'm shown that I have a laptop monitor and an unknown monitor. I click on 'detect monitors', but nothing happens. Outside of a few other config things there, there's not much that I can find that might help that issue. Everything comes up correctly when I'm undocked on my laptop.<br>
<br>I can definitely tell a speed improvement (it was running Fedora (Core? I can't remember) 9) and I like having my partitions encrypted. <br><br>Brian<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 9, 2009 at 8:18 PM, Michael Ansel <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://old.nabble.com/user/SendEmail.jtp?type=post&post=23981603&i=0" target="_top" rel="nofollow">dulug@...</a>></span> wrote:<br>

week I goofed on my backup script and caused it to tar up the<br>

didn't like that very much and the infinite loop filled up the entire<br>

you made the same mistake as me.<br>

Also, while I can't speak for the other members of the list, I for one<br>

probably going to switch my laptop over Sunday, after I get back from<br>
SouthEast LinuxFest. Good luck with the install!<br>

First off, a big, belated thanks to Seth for the duplicity recommendation a while back for backups. It's worked very well<br>
on the two Fedora boxes I have!<br>
<br>
Now, the question:<br>
<br>
During lunch today, I'm planning on celebrating Fedora 11 release day by...installing Fedora 11! On my laptop. And I'd<br>
like to take advantage of everything ext4 has to offer such as encryption and some speed improvements. So, I'd like to<br>

up /home and actually did a tar cvzf on /home/mbjohn last night to be on the safe side, but my tgz file ended up being<br>
about 20G larger than my home directory, which, um, has me worried. Ultimately, I'd like to know that if I need to, I can<br>
restore needed files from my encrypted duplicity backups. In short, is there a file in my home directory now that I need<br>
in place after the installation so that I can install files from my duplicity backups? I did some looking and couldn't<br>

<br>over-sized tar backup: Is that 20G larger than will fit on the
<br>partition, or 20G larger than the data? I only ask because just last
<br>week I goofed on my backup script and caused it to tar up the
<br>directory containing the destination tar file. Needless to say, it
<br>didn't like that very much and the infinite loop filled up the entire
<br>drive pretty quick. So, I just wanted to throw that out there in case
<br>you made the same mistake as me.
<br><br>Also, while I can't speak for the other members of the list, I for one
<br>would be interested in hearing how the migration to F11 goes: I'm
<br>probably going to switch my laptop over Sunday, after I get back from
<br>SouthEast LinuxFest. Good luck with the install!
