I want to replace gdm with another display manager. I did aptitude install slim (tried also xdm) and got a possibility to configure which display manager should be used. But after the reboot the display manager didn't got started. The Ubuntu-logo with the points simulating a progress goes on and on. If I press ESC, I can see, that slim (or xdm) was started, but I cannot see any login-screen. How can I use these alternative display managers?
I use Opera and have a setup with two monitors. If I want to open a new URL opera -newwindow URL. The outcome differs, if I execute this command in a program on the same screen where Opera is, or on the other.
On the same screen everything is fine. I get the message opera: Activated running instance and the new window with the URL is opened.
On the other screen, I get a dialog with the following message: It appears another opera instance is using the same configuration directory because its lock file is active: /home/(my name)/.opera/lock and the URL is not shown.
That's not only from console, also if I click a link in E-Mail or so. How can I fix this?
Window-manager is awesome, if it does make a difference.
We tried /etc/security/limits.conf, but that seems to have no effect.
The used line for limits.conf looks as follows:
myuser hard nproc 6
That is configuration for a server. I want to limit the processes started. Ulimit limits the processes started from the shell (if I understand that right). But in my case apache starts mapserver-processes, and that number have to be limited.
I use Privoxy and recently switched back to Opera as browser. Anything is fine, but one thing is annoying: Everytime I start the computer I have to restart privoxy (sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart) or Opera shows an error, that it cannot reach the proxy. What is wrong here?
I want to use twidge to connect to my identi.ca-Account. I already successfully authenticated the client against identi.ca. But if I execute twidge lsrecent I get the following error:
twidge: user error (Bad response: 401)
What is wrong and has to be changed?
