[ubuntu-uk] gopenvpn

2009-09-11 Thread Kaushal Shriyan
Hi

I am using gopenvpn gui (http://gopenvpn.sourceforge.net/) to connect
to multiple vpn servers. It works
fine. There is a issue. The issue is that the internal name servers
doesnot get populated in /etc/resolv.conf file. I am using Ubuntu 9.04
Desktop.

so i am not able to browse some internal sites
is there a way to populate the internal nameservers in /etc/resolv.conf

With Network Manager, the internal Name servers are populated in
/etc/resolv.conf but i cannot simultaneously connect to multiple vpn
servers.
There is a Bug for it
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/91389

Please guide/suugest

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal

Didn't work but by renaming my .config folder everything is (more or 
less) back as it should be. Thanks for your help!

Hmmm, you say you can get to terminal right?

If you can login to a terminal (either console or other terminal) under 
your normal user account, try renaming .gnome2 and .gnome2_private (they 
are usually hidden directories):

mv .gnome2 .gnome2-old
mv .gnome2_private .gnome2_private-old

Then log out and try logging in again and see if it makes any 
difference.  With any luck Gnome should re-create the folders and fix 
the problem.

If all else fails just rename the folders back.

Hope this helps.

Rob

Update: installed lxde and can get into that fine. Seems to be a bug 
with gnome. Anybody seeing anything similar?

[ubuntu-uk] Logging into a blank white screen

2009-09-11 Thread John Levin
Hi all,

Something is borked on my Lenovo 3000 N500 laptop :(

When I boot up, I get the log-in screen as per normal, but after logging 
in I'm faced with a blank white screen, wether with the normal gnome 
desktop or the failsafe. I can get into a shell no probs.

Amongst the errors in .xsession-errors is:
** (nautilus:8497): WARNING **: Unable to add monitor: Not supported

I'm presuming that this has been triggered by a recent update, but 
cannot recall any that would affect the display. Booting into a 
crunchbang live cd works fine

Running an up to date jaunty with Intel graphics.

Suggestions?

TIA

John
