- note all my above comments refer to this situation a. boot up ubuntu 8.04 b. log in as a local user c. at the desktop can see likewise-winbindd did start up at system start if I pull up a terminal and "sudo /etc/init.d/likewise-open status" d. then use the likewise-open-gui to join my PC to a domain
Weird things happen on my desktop (see above). syslog (daemon log) is flooded with warnings (see above). ======== I did some further testing: a. boot up ubuntu 8.04 b. log in as local user c. at the desktop can see likewise-winbindd did start up at system start if I pull up a terminal and "sudo /etc/init.d/likewise-open status" d. then open a terminal window and use the likewise-open-cli to join my PC to a domain Same weird things happen on my desktop ======== Now maybe so far my problem is a user problem - not knowing how to use likewise-open properly. Because in all the above scenarios I had never been able to log in to the domain from the ubuntu gui (gdm) screen. Always failed. All I knew was that likewise-winbindd was running and thought that was all was needed. I did some further reading and testing: a. boot up ubuntu 8.04 b. at the gdm GUI login screen I CTRL-ALT-F1 to a cli session. c. in that cli session I initiated a likewise-open-cli domain join. Enter user password - SUCCESS d. then CTRL-ALT-F7 back to the gdm login screen and log in with [EMAIL PROTECTED] and get a successful domain user log on. Here I notice: - I have a new desktop as if a first time user. My "home" directory is /home/DOMAIN/user (not /home/user) - Everything works nicely. I see all the domain servers and PC's in Places>Network - No problem with the logfile getting flooded with warning messages. - When I log out no hangs or problems. Wooohoo!!! Sooooo Sweet! Very slick. Very nice. So I am wondering now if the problems I have in the first scenario (logged in as local user - using likewise-open CLI or GUI commands to then join domain) - is because I am doing the wrong thing? Should I be able to do this? Or am I using likewise-open incorrectly if I do that? In summary: Likewise-open only works properly for me when (as well as having likewise-winbindd daemon running) I first drop to a command prompt and join to the domain BEFORE I log in at the gdm GUI....
