Lxde windows issues

I am having an issue with lxde... I just installed it and when I start up, the lxde desktop appears to load fine.
As soon as I open a window,
1. It places the window in the upper left corner. I am unable to move it or resize it.
2. In the windows title bar, the close, restore, minimize buttons are not there..... This is on all windows that open.
This is happening on two machines, my desktop and an older ibm t20. The desktop has had Arch on it for a few months. The laptop is a fresh install, and I was trying to load a lighter weight DE...
Gnome is fine on both...
Any ideas are appreciated..
thanks in advance

It appears the config files look ok??? Openbox is installed and "appears" to be set right...
/etc/xdgl/lxsession/LXDE/default
lxde-settings
smproxy
xscreensaver -no-splash
openbox --config-file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/openbox/lxde-rc.xml
lxpanel --profile LXDE
pcmanfm -d
/etc/xdgl/lxsession/LXDE/autostart
@lxde-settings
@xscreensaver -no-splash
@lxpanel --profile LXDE
@pcmanfm -d
/etc/xdgl/lxsession/LXDE/config
[Session]
window_manager=openbox-lxde
If you think openbox is crashing, I will follow that....
thanks

AppleMobileDeviceHelper Crash on Mac - forums only talk about this being a windows issue

AppleMobileDeviceHelper Crash on Mac - forums only talk about this being a windows issue
It happens on my iMac with my iPhone

I noticed several permissions changes after the last install of iTunes.
Launch Disk Utility (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility) and run the permissions repair routine on your hard drive. Then run verify disk. If any error is reported by the verify disk routine, restart your computer while holding down the Shift key. This will boot you into Safe Mode. The restart will take longer than normal, as diagnostic and repair routines are taking place. When the Finder shows up, restart normally. Then try your CD again.

My Windows issues are fixed! No more Scratchy, Skipping, Noisy sound!

This fixed my Windows issues! No more Scratchy, Skipping, Noisy sound!
1. Go to CONTROL PANEL.
2. Double click QUICKTIME.
3. Choose the ADVANCED tab.
4. Under VIDEO, uncheck ENABLE DIRECTDRAW ACCELERATION.
5. Also under VIDEO, choose SAFE MODE (GDI ONLY)
6. Select OK. (Or APPLY if you wish).
XP SP/2
NOTE: I no longer have sound problems even if the processor is 100% due to other applications running.

Well, I must rescind my previous enthusiasm. Yesterday I could not make the noise reappear after following the instructions I posted. I ran graphics-intensive applications. I ran cpu-hog programs. Nothing caused the the noise to come back.
Today, as you have probably guessed, it's back. Not as frequently, but still back.
I did notice one interesting thing. I was taking screenshots of the Windows task manager this morning try and determine if I saw any pattern to the noise. I pasted them into a light-weight viewer (Polyview) that I use when I just want to crop something and don't want to wait for Photoshop to come up.
1. Take the screenshot.
2. Paste into Polyview.
3. Noise stops.
4. Take the screenshot.
5. Paste into Polyview. Immediately the noise comes back.
6. Screenshot and Paste again. Noise stops. etc.
This at leasts suggests that display of graphics has something to do with the issue. Perhaps the video card?
Oh, well, at least the situation is tolerable now.

Photoshop CS2 and windows issues! help!

Hi, I'm working with someone who is having issues with Adobe Photoshop CS2 among other Adobe problems. The problem is that after Photoshop is loaded, the interface is very messed up. You can't open a file because if you go to menu -> file nothing happens. If you try to create something new, most of the buttons will be invisible in the option for sizes. The program simply becomes unusable. After a restart, the program will work properly for a short period of time and being to behave oddly again. On loading Photoshop, windows gives an error beep but the program loads anyways and no error window comes up. This happens on illustrator as well as indesign. I have uninstalled everything and removed all shared files that adobe uses and reinstalled everything from scratch, the same problem happens. This only started happening recently.
OS is XP pro SP3.
I am about to wipe the computer and start from scratch but I would rather not have to do this if there is another solution!
Please help! Thank you!

No, it's a standard U.S. keyboard and the language is set to english. I believe the software is up to date.
It doesn't freeze when you click on the menu, it just refuses to pop open a window when you try to open a file. Also, many of the option boxes in some of the windows in photoshop are invisible. This only happens after the computer has been on for a short while. Right after a reboot, you can open photoshop fine... until it stops working.

Opening a form in a new window issue

Hi..
I have this requirement where I have this page(say XYZPG.xml) which contains a table which is auto populated based on a particular setWhereClause and all this happens in the processRequest as the page loads.
This page opens on clicking a button in a previous page from where all the parameters for the setWhereClause is sent using fireAction.
Each Row in the results table in XYZPG has a "detail" button which opens another page in a new window using _blank in the Target Frame.
The issue is that when Iam clicking the "detail" button,the new form opens in the new window and after closing the form that opened in the new window when I start to perform any action in XYZPG a null pointer is encountered in the processRequest while trying to fetch the setWhereClause parameters.
Please help in this issue.Its urgent.
Thanks

That's because when you close the child window, control returns back to parent form's processRequest. Which version of EBS you are working on? OAF has in-built popup windows feature supported on latest EBS versions which is very useful on many occasions as it has good features like popup closing automatically when a submit button is clicked etc. Check JDev user guide and see if you can use popup windows for your project. If not, you have to capture the event in processRequest and perform required actions again.
Thanks

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC power on/start windows issue

HP Pavilion Elite e9280t Desktop PC, Windows 7 Pro. When powered on (using the power switch), the blue power light and amber hard drive lights on the front illuminate, but monitor shows no signal and the keyboard lights do not come on. F10 on the keyboard doesn't bring anything up on the screen either. Sounds like there is hard drive activity, but the amber light does not flash. If I put a bootable dvd in the drive, it appears to read the dvd, but does not boot from it (nothing appears on the monitor.) Monitor, keyboard and mouse have been verified operational. Hard drive data appears to be intact and have verified 12v and 5v operational from power supply. Haven't found a place to verify 3v power. Depressing the power switch does not turn the computer off, only way is to unplug the power cord. This sympton happened a couple of weeks ago, but after several power cycles, it booted fine and worked for a while. Not this time, though.

HI JIMINFL:
How was your weekend, I hope it was super!
I understand that when you boot up, you get a blank screen. You also said that you know the keyboard, mouse and monitor are working. I am sending you a link to a document on "Monitor or TV is Blank after Starting the Computer" click here. I am also sending "HP Hardware Diagnostics UEFI" click here to test for hardware failures. Please let me know the outcome.

Dual boot with archlinux and windows issue

Hi again!
This is what i did from the beginning :
windows was already installed and then i installed archlinux after shrinking the windows partition . I made a partition for boot , one for swap and one for root(i wanted to do for home too , but only 4 primary partitions are allowed) . I made the boot partition bootable , and so was windows bootable and i got the message that there are two bootable partitions so it couldn't write the partition table . So removed the bootable tag from windows and left only the boot partition bootable . I then installed the grubloader to boot partition and then i edited that grubmenu and uncomment the part where windows was like it says in wiki. After restarting i could see the menu to choose between archlinux and windows , i chose windows , i succesfully logged in and after restarting again i couldn't see the grubloader and i automatically logged in windows .
Does anyone know what might be the issue ??
Thanks !

yes i only have one hard rive , i managed to find a solution not that elegant though , i 've installed acronis os selector from windows and i can choose between windows and linux with acronis on boot . If i choose linux i get to the grub menu and i can choose between arch linux and windows . So it seems that the grub menu is still there but it doesn't appear when i boot for some reason .

Can Anyone Help? Upgrade with Windows Issue

I bought my daughter a Ipod nano for Christmas this past year (2005). Everything worked great until the new 6.0 upgrade. We downloaded the upgrade last week and it was completed successfully. Yet when I go to my desktop and try to go to the site I get nothing at all. I can't even access the itunes site. Can't even access it through apple.com. I get the download message. I spent hours on the phone with apple trying to figure out the problem. Uninstalled and reinstalled the whole thing several times. Even went back to my original CD that came with the ipod and still get message that I need to upgrade. I was told
( by an apple rep) I have to do a msconfig start up on my computer for the upgrade to work on Windows. Upon doing that I can access my library but access to store is denied. I called apple again and was told they have no idea what is going on but it has to do with the upgrade and windows. I was basically told I may want to consider selling my Ipod, by a apple tech. Is anyone else having this problem. I just want to know how to get the upgrade using windows xp and be able to use it without having to msconfig start and then still not be able to access anything.
I have tried everything, from shutting down my firewall, anitvirus to rebooting my computer back to before I ever put Itunes in it since I was unable to un-install it with the add/remove on my computer.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to get this to work with windows? It would be greatly appreciated since I have a few friends also having the same issues. Thanks

Don't give up yet. At this point I would suggest cleaning your system with ipod and itunes software and reinstall. I know you tried this before but I'm going to give you more detailed instructions. Please read them carefully first before doing them and ask questions if you don't understand them. Also don't skip anything and be careful to not skip part of a step.
1. Uninstall itunes and ipod software
2. Reboot your PC
3. Re-download the itunes installer and QT and save this installer to your desktop
4. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations. You should see folders like {06EB3288-C5F4-4C73-8EEE-AC798668FF66}
5. Look in each of these folders for itunes.msi and delete the folder. Be careful to only delete the folders containing itunes.msi
6. Clean out your the following folders, Delete as much as you can in these folders except for the folders Cookies, History, Temporary Internet Files.
a. C:\windows\temp (if one exists)
b. C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Local Settings\Temp
Sometimes installers will pick up old files or won’t delete their temporary files.
Also delete c:\program files\itunes & c:\program files\ipod
7. Go to http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html and download the regcleaner. Unpack it and run it. This is a nice utility that will delete broken registry entries and create a file with them. This way if it deletes anything needed you can add it back. Note I never had to do this with using it for many years. Also it doesn't list XP but you'll be fine. I run XP on both.
8. Reboot your PC.
9. It wouldn't hurt to scan your PC for viruses at this point.
10. Now try to go and install everything again. I'd do QT first then follow with itunes. Remember to disable virus/firewall/privacy/web accelerators before launching the install.
You don't have to try the QT if you don't want to but if you do make sure you do it first before itunes and ipod software.
I hope this helps! Let me know what happens.

Mail 4.5 problems: no message viewer window, issues sending/receiving

Hi all,
I recently re-installed Snow Leopard on my mid-2010 MacMini. I ran all updates and am currently using 10.6.8 with Mail 4.5 (1048). This morning I tried opening Mail from the dock and it simply would not open. The menu bar for Mail does appear at the top of the screen, so I clicked on Window-->Message Viewer and was able to pull up the usual Mail window. Mail, however, is still not functioning. This happened recently with my previous installation of 10.6, hence the reason I reinstalled the OS.
In summary, here are the current issues with Mail:
I can receive messages, but I cannot send them.
The usual Mail window does not open when I open Mail
I cannot quit Mail, I have to force quit
Mail has not 'crashed' yet, so I haven't received any error reports/crash reports ect...
I have done everything from resetting the PRAM to moving the com.apple.mail.plist file to my desktop and re-opening Mail, nothing has worked. This is the second time this has occured, on the second fresh installation of 10.6.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

UPDATE: removed exchange accounts from iCal and Mail is bacl to normal.
I opened console, cleared the display and re-opened Mail. Upon opening I noticed this in console:
Mail[329] *** -[NSCFString substringFromIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds
After researching this for a bit, I decided to remove one exchange account from iCal, that didn'twork. So, I removed the second of my two iCal Exchange accounts. Then I reopened Mail and voilá. Although this got my mail working, it really isn't a solution. I would LOVE to be able to use both Mail AND iCal...

Box inside Main window issue in Scripts

I have issue in placing a box inside the main window. I would like to display text with a box frame at end of the line items.
I tried creating seperate FOOTER window in the Last page, but it dint work as expected, since if the line items ended in the first page then the LAST page did not trigger and one more complication was if there were 4 pages, then there was blank window (FOOTER) in 2 pages and it looks ugly.
I tried putting the box frame by using text element, calling after the end of the line items. The text displayed as needed, but the frame was misaligned.
Kindly help me. Thanks in advance.
Have a great weekend.

Raj,
Try to find out which text element is trigerring after the line items text element while debuging the script and then place the box code in that text element.
regards.

Closing TextEdit window issue

(*Generally, this script appears to do everything I want except . . . if TextEdit is already launched when the script is run, then the "saving no" added to the close command (at end of script, below) is ignored. If TextEdit is not already launched when the script is run, then the "saving no" is honored. Ideas? There's also a less important question at line 5.*)
set T to "Please read these instructions . . ."
set LAUNCHstatus to ""
set _WsTE to ""
try
set LAUNCHstatus to do shell script "lsof / | grep TextEdit.app" --(>>faster way for single app?)
end try
try
set _WsTE to windows of application "TextEdit"
end try
tell application "TextEdit"
if LAUNCHstatus is not "" and _WsTE is not "" then make new document
activate
set name of front window to "INSTRUCTIONS"
set _WsTE to windows of application "TextEdit"
set _WTE to item 1 of _WsTE
--set _pWTE to properties of _WTE
set bounds of front window to {50, 200, 800, 500}
set text of front document to T
tell the text of the front document
set size to 14
set the color of every character to {87563, 5274, 8493}
end tell
tell application "System Events"
keystroke "r" using command down
end tell
display dialog "Have you read the instructions yet?" buttons {"Yes", "No"}
if button returned of result is "Yes" then
beep 1
else
beep 3
end if
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
close _WTE saving no --<<IF SCRIPT IS STARTED WITH TextEdit not launched, this works correctly. BUT IF SCRIPT IS STARTED WITH TextEdit launched, there is a prompt for a save.
end tell

Hi kel,
The "set was_running" clause you substituted is certainly a more effiecient (faster) way of determining launch status.
And your script certainly seems to solve the "close saving no" issue (although I still don't understand why the original script does this).
Turns out there is still another issue that I hadn't detected (occurs with both my original script and your script):
If when the script is run TextEdit is already launched and has pre-existing documents which have been hidden (hidden, not minimized), then upon running the script all of those hidden documents are brought to the desktop. True, they go back into hiding when "d" is closed, but they're a bit of a distraction.
Not quite sure how "Hide" works, but it's some kind of batch process as all
hidden documents are represented by a single icon in the dock.
I'll look at this and maybe you have some ideas as well.
Thanks, osimp

Prompt window Issues-resize and date format setting to 'mm/dd/yyyy' .

Guys,
        I have two issues which needs to be solved for better reporting.
        I am using url reporting approach to view reports in ActiveX viewer.
        1) I have to set date format to 'mm/dd/yyyy' in parameter prompt window by default It is in yyyy-mm-dd format.
         2) I have to make prompt window with full size screen in order to accommodate more than one date parameter and make it looks better.
     Can any one tell me how to change and fix date format and resize Prompt window?
      Should I open a ticket with business object in order to solve or customize the Crystal Report Server XI R2 configurations for us?
    Please suggest me some probable options for it.
Sincerely,
Sanjay Patel

Hello Adlyd,
SAP Business Objects does not support customizing Infoview, CR Server, or BusinessObjects Enterprise. I'll post the content of SAP Business Objects Note 1218598 below that speaks to this. Even if they could help customize CR Server/Enterprise/Infoview there's no way to change the parameter prompting page. It's a page that is generated at runtime, and it isn't exposed to any of the BusinessObjects SDK.
If you want to see if SAP Business Objects can help you with the date format that might be possible. In North America you can call 1-800-877-2340, and select option 4, and then option 1.
You can also purchase technical support from the [Online Store|http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300].
Sincerely,
Dan Kelleher
NOTE: This Note was written for BOE XI and XI R2, but it applies to BOE XI 3.0 and 3.1 as well as all versions of CR Server since version XI (v11.0).

1218598 - Support policy on customizing BusinessObjects InfoView and other applications
Symptom
In previous versions of Business Objects products, Business Objects Customer Support had assisted customers with the customization of the ePortfolio and InfoView applications by providing guidance on what changes were required for simple and specific custom features.
What is the support policy for customizing BusinessObjects XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 InfoView and the other included applications?
Resolution
Starting with BusinessObjects XI, code-level customization of InfoView and the other applications included with BusinessObjects XI is not supported and not recommended. These applications include Crystal Reports Explorer and the Central Management Console.
InfoView is a fully-featured product and can be customized by changing settings in the Central Management Console or by changing values in the application configuration files only.
Requests for custom features in InfoView or any other included applications will be treated either as enhancement requests, or in extreme cases, as product defects. Any feature that does not function as documented will be treated as a product defect.
Custom features may also be implemented as part of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) agreement, or by engaging Business Objects Consulting Services.
Background Information
Modification of any of the following file types in BusinessObjects InfoView XI, XI Release 2, XI 3.0, XI 3.1 is not supported:

SAP Portal - POPUP window issue

Hi All,
I'm just new in SAP Portal and I want to ask an assistance regarding the issue our team is currently handling.
When user open a workitem in Engineer's Desktop (under Assembly Manager), a new popup window appears. When the user tries to open another workitem without closing the first one, the first popup window closes which should not be the case. If the user opens 2 workitem, there should be 2 popup window. There are no current changes done on Portal except the EHP upgrade.
Can you please help me on this? ANy idea is appreciated.
Thanks,
Arlene

Window issue with Multiple displays

I have a problem with my new iMac (late 2013) wich is connected to a secondary display (HP w2448hc) with DVI-Minidisplay port adapter.
When Maverick wake from sleep, all de windows are hidden in the screen corners so I can't move them, even if the app is in full-screen mode.
I know how to solve the issue (changing any of the displays preferences options), but is an annoying issue. ¿Anyone knows how to prevent this ?
I attach some captures:

Hi Amy,
One thing that may be causing a problem is that TOTAL_COMPANY is a parent in both H1 and H2. My understanding is that TOTAL_COMPANY can be a parent in H1 OR H2, but not both.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Scott
