Install Hiccups - Tips for Linux!

1. X11 Login issue on Fedora

Ever encountered a login problem on Fedora? The graphical login screen gets stuck, refreshes, and always comes back to the login screen, even when you entered the correct credentials?

If yes, then you might also be facing an issue same as I faced, on my fully setup, customized Fedora 17 XFCE spin!

I tried my luck many times. The command line login session (Ctrl+Alt+F# key) works flawlessly though. The issue is only with the graphical login.

I got an error once when my repeated trials:

Could not create ICE listening socket: Cannot establish any listening sockets"

Fedora Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=829324

Solution:
Try login in to the command line session (press Ctrl+Alt+F3 Key for example).
Clear the X11 graphics lock

rm -r /tmp/.X11-unix /tmp/.ICE-unix /tmp/.X0-lock 

But, this might not work! It did not work for me. I have posted a comment on the above open redhat bug.

Update: My Fedora 17 XFCE's graphical login started working after approx 1 month.

2. Ubuntu does not recognise the Fedora's LVM partitions! 

lvm might not be installed on your Ubuntu!

sudo -i
apt-get install lvm2
modprobe dm-mod
vgchange -a y

[source: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/fedora-35/how-can-i-mount-lvm-partition-in-ubuntu-569507/]

Still this may not work. You may need to mount the file system manually.

See if the lvm file system is readable:
lvdisplay

Once you see the lvm file system, add the command to mount it to an existing directory in /etc/fstab :
/dev/vg_aanondodhara/lv_root /fedora_root  ext4    defaults        0      0

3. Title bar of windows disappeared (Fedora 17 xfce)

Most probable cause is that the window manager in XFCE (xfwm4) might have stopped.

Check if xfwm4 is running:
ps -eF | grep xfwm

If not, start xfwm4 from a terminal
xfwm4

This worked for me.
