Login Problem in GUI terminal
I am using LINUX REDHAT 4
PROBLEM 1: ----------- Whenever I try to login using user defined user from GUI terminal, the linux hangs and I have to restart. But the root user is working properly in the GUI terminal and I can login using GUI terminal. I could not figure out what is the problem. PROBLEM 2: ---------- As we know that if we don't define the /tmp on different partition, the space for this folder is allocated under the '/'. So, remembering this, I deleted the partition that I alloacated for /tmp. And the problem is that whenever I try to install new software/programs, it gives the error that it could not allocate /tmp. For example: Whenever I try to install oracle, the error message appears as: Error in writing to directory /tmp. Oracle Universal Installer needs you to have permission in this area to install. Installation cannot continue. Please make sure TEMP is set to a valid writable directory.:Permission denied Starting Oracle Universal Installer.... No pre-requisite checks foung in prapram.ini, no system pre-requisite checks will be executed. |
Hi,
And welcome to LQ! 1) Can you please clarify what you mean by "the GUI terminal"? 2) Where did you mount /tmp to instead? Just deleting it doesn't solve the issue, it brings it forward ... Cheers, Tink |

1. GUI terminal means the terminal that we get using CTRL+ALT+F7 2.After deleting the /tmp,i have not mounted it anywhere as i thought it would be mounted automatically. If the mount should be specified then please quote how to mount the /tmp. Thanking you. |
Just a guess for (1), but do the home directories for the users you defined exist (ie /home/username)?
|
Re 2: do you actually have a /tmp dir anywhere now?

And in addition to chrism01's post (I'm not going to remove my
/tmp to test this, but I guess it's feasible): I'd say that if you don't have a /tmp any longer the oridinary users can't get into their session because of this; and root can, because for him the session manager can write the temp files ANYWHERE. Recreate /tmp, mount it to a different partition if you're worried. I can assure you that oracle *won't* install w/o it. Cheers, Tink |

Thankyou very much...I will try for it. But I have reinsatlled whole linux and the oracle again. Still i will try after removing the /tmp and solve the problem. |
*DON'T* remove /tmp. Without /tmp your system won't be
functional, and Oracle won't install. Partition your HDD so /tmp has its own mountpoint, or, if you *are* going to run an Oracle database, a separate disk all together. Cheers, Tink |
thankyou very much.
your advice worked a lot and i am happy to solve out the problem i had for 3 complete days. |
