12.5.2 Programs like killtopspin, reviveccu and touser are not found
These programs are delivered with TOPSPIN and are executed by the superuser
from a shell. However, if you become superuser with the command su, the pro-
grams may not be found. You can solve this problem in two different ways:
1. Become superuser with the command ‘su -’ or
2. Log out and log in as root
Now the programs shmrm, reviveccu, touser etc. can be typed in from
any directory and will always be found.
12.5.3 Xserver does not start after reboot / not enough disk space available
In case the Xserver does not start after a reboot of the Linux PC, the cause could be
that the harddisk is 100% full. In every user’s home directory there is a file called
.xsession-errors
that could contain a lot of error messages and become very big (xGB!). It is possi-
ble to delete this file with the shell command:
rm -rf .xsession-errors
Note: After deleting this file you have to log out to free the reserved disk space.
It is helpful to check these files and of course the core file which are named as
core.<pid> under Linux. To find them, you can use the command:
find / -name core.* -print
12.5.4 You cannot log in as normal user
There are several possible reasons why you cannot login as normal user. First find
out if other normal users can log in. If they can, the problem is user specific:
1. Your password is wrong
2. The hard disk is full. Login in single user mode and remove unwanted files
3. One of your personal setup files is corrupt. Check the files:
• /home/<user>/.desktop-<hostname>/log
• /var/log/messages
