problems with automatic logout, Gnome, RH enterprise
I hope someone can help me.
The problem is that if I leave my Linux system for any amount of time (I think it's less than 15 minutes), I will find myself logged out. I mean logged out, not screen lock. Programs closed, windows closed, data gone. I am running Redhat Enterprise WS, version 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp I'm pretty sure my desktop is Gnome, but as I said, it's not a screensaver lock out. I'm using the cshell, but there is a .bash_logout, the text of which I'm including below (no clue what it does), just in case this might have something to do with my problem. [# ~/.bash_logout # invalidate the gpm selection buffer iff logging out from a # virtual terminal if test -x /sbin/consoletype && /sbin/consoletype fg then if test -r /var/run/gpm.pid && test -d "/proc/$(/bin/cat /var/run/gpm.pid)" then kill -USR2 "$(/bin/cat /var/run/gpm.pid)" fi fi clear Also: There is no TMOUT in /etc/profile nor in /etc/bashrc nor in my home bash_profile and I have no .profile in my home directory. (btw, do these guys get executed when i'm running csh?) Thanks in advance for your help -- edot p.s. please explain things in the simplest terms possible (i.e. include paths or possible paths and filenames). If you tell me to set a variable, please tell me what file in what directory I have to set it in. Thanks |
im really not sure about what to do with your problem...i havent ever used SUSE either...but i had trouble using applications after loggin in.
Whati did was dlete the (dot).file related to the application in my home dir and then restarted and it worked coz the . file gets recreated. I dont know if you should too or not... just in case, you can see your . files by typing ls -a. |
New clue:
I took a look at the system logs and this is what I get: Aug 24 16:30:47 rhsys dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=8882 uid=501 loginuid=-1 message=avc: 1 AV entries and 1/512 buckets used, longest chain length 1 Aug 24 16:30:47 rhsys gconfd (ariel-8887): Received signal 15, shutting down cleanly Aug 24 16:30:47 rhsys gdm[8376]: gdm_slave_xioerror_handler: Fatal X error - Restarting :0 Aug 24 16:30:47 rhsys gdm(pam_unix)[8376]: session closed for user edot Obviously, rhsys is the system name and edot is the username. Looks like X quits on me? But why? What's the audit system? Who is USER_AVC? And what is signal 15? And does it have anything to do with the system logging me out? -- edot |
