[SOLVED] Problem with running GUI apps as root

Hi,
I have a serious problem with running any kind of software having GUI as root, which is indispensable for editing system files. For example I want to edit /etc/pacman.conf file with KWrite, and here's what I get
[zbyszek@barca ~]$ xhost +
access control disabled, clients can connect from any host
[root@barca zbyszek]# kwrite /etc/pacman.conf
kwrite(11282): Session bus not found
KCrash: Application 'kwrite' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi from kdeinit
sock_file=/root/.kde4/socket-barca/kdeinit4__0
Warning: connect() failed: : Nie ma takiego pliku ani katalogu
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/drkonqi directly
drkonqi(11284): Session bus not found
Can anyone help me with this? Can anyone tell me how to login as root?
Thank you in advance.

O.K., but how to run KWrite as root on my account??? That was my main question

Maybe vim is in edit mode when you press 'i' but it doesn't show '-- INSERT --' at the bottom of the screen.
Here you are
[root@barca zbyszek]# xhost +

[root@barca zbyszek]# kwrite /etc/pacman.conf

Problem with running the app outside NetBeans (loading fxml from jar)

Hello.
this problem occurs only when NOT using NetBeans (becouse NB may use this normal file sctructure, without jars)
here is part of my main class, start method
        //load FXMLs
        FXMLLoader primaryLoader = new FXMLLoader();
        URL primaryLocation = getClass().getResource("PrimaryStage.fxml");
        primaryLoader.setLocation(primaryLocation);
        Parent root = (Parent) primaryLoader.load();
        Scene primaryScene = new Scene(root);
        FXMLLoader secondaryLoader = new FXMLLoader();
        URL secondaryLocation = getClass().getResource("SecondaryStage.fxml");
        secondaryLoader.setLocation(secondaryLocation);
        System.out.println("sec loader = " +secondaryLoader.toString()
                +"\n sec loc from loader = "+secondaryLoader.getLocation()
                +"\n sec loc url = " + secondaryLocation
                +"\n pri loc url = " + primaryLocation);
        Parent secondaryRoot = (Parent) secondaryLoader.load();
        Scene secondaryScene = new Scene(secondaryRoot);and the thing is the 1st url (primaryLocation) is loaded properly, and the secondLocation aint.
those 2 files are both in the same jar, same folder (packege) as main class.
the outcome looks like this
sec loader = javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader@5bde2a20
sec loc from loader = null
sec loc url = null
pri loc url = jar:file:/C:/test_workspace/NetBeans/MZlike/dist/MoreAdvStuff.jar!/moreadvstuff/PrimaryStage.fxml

        ... 1 morewhere 55 line is
Parent secondaryRoot = (Parent) secondaryLoader.load();any ideas how to fix it? loading the file manually from the jar may be a way, but its a workaround, not a solution
Edited by: Radosław on 2012-05-17 07:55

Hi,
The root cause of the exception appears is here:
sec loc url = nullThis means that the URL returned here by getResource() was null:
        URL secondaryLocation = getClass().getResource("SecondaryStage.fxml");So the only thing you have to do is figure out why this call returned null. Usually it returns null if the resource is not found in the jar/classpath.
Last time it happened to me it was because I had misspelled the file name.
Check that your file is not named SecondaryStage,fxml instead of SecondaryStage.fxml or something like that. Also check that it's actually present in the jar - or in the build/ directory and at the expected place (next to the class that loads it).
Hope this helps,

Is anyone having problems with the Health App and Withings?

After upgrading to ios 8.1 I am still having a problem getting my Withings Health Mate data to correctly update my Healt Dashboard. The information that does show up on the different Dashboard widgets is way off. For example, I today walked 2400 steps according to Withings, but the Health Dashboard shows 10,700 steps (720,000 in smaller print on another line). It further shows my daily average at 313,000 steps! Ridiculous.
Walking/Running distance for the days shows 22.5 miles with a daily average of 108 miles.....I'm not Barry Allen/The Flash.

My problems with the Healt App are all over the map. The information on Withings Health Mate is totally accurate, and updates immediately. I have their scale (since 2011) and wireless blood pressure monitor. Also, I find the heart rate senson on the iPhone 6 to work well, every time.
This issue for me is with Apple's Health app. I get ridiculous readings on the Dashboards. For example, it shows my daily average in steps as 170,688, and miles walked at 80. Hardly! Additionally, the Dashbord widgets will disappear/reappear for no reason. I have tried switching the priority of data sources for the steps dashboard between Withings and my iPhone 6 (because it is indicated that the top source governs the dashboard info), to no avail.
Lastly, I don't know how to interpret the infomration on the individual dashboards. On the same line as the word "Steps" there is a number, i.e. 14,272 steps, and just under it the word "Today." However, when I switch from "Day," "Week,," "Month," and "Year," those number don't change. Below the word Today is a number (which changes all the time), and at the bottom of the widget, just above the month (October now) is the number 1,149,749. Nice.
I would like to get the Apple Watch next year, but if the Health App cannot be fixed I may not.

I am having problems to run an app, there is an error display that says I need to set bonjour and that this app serial number has been used by another red user, could anybody guide me?

Logic is the APPlication (program, app) that you are having the problem with.
Logic Pro can take advantage of other computers on your local (home or work) network to help it do "heavy lifting" data chores by using Bonjour and a feature called Nodes. It seems that Logic is attempting to find and connect to another machine on your network.
Do you have Logic installed on another computer there? That may be the source of the confilict.
You might want to post this question in the Logic Pro Community.
Be sure to indicate the version of Logic Pro that you are using. I'm sure the folks there can help you out.

I've a problem with my mail app

I have a problem with my mail app, after upgrading mavericks.
My mail app was worked well, before I upgrade.
Now, my mail app is working only with icloud account.
I can use my gmail account with safari or other web browsers, but not in the mail app.
That was happening both of my macbook pro, and macbook air, but not on my iPad and iPhone.
I tried deleting account and re added it, but that doesn't solve the problem.
what should i do..??

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

I ve a problem with running the javabeans

dear all
i ve a problem with running javabean in forms 9i all codes, program units are correct. i think there is something with classpath which i dont where to put the path of bean jar files. however the simple code for the Colorpicker and keyFilter dont work when clicking the button to fire the trigger to bring the bean up.
thank you
Walaa eddien

Walaa,
Make sure you've entered the implementation class (do not append the class extension). For example, if you have a class example.class in the package otn.oracle.forum, the implementation class should be: otn.oracle.forum.example
Make sure you place the containing java archive in <OH>/forms90/java and do not forget to update the configuration section (default or app specific) parameter archive_jini accordingly.

Problem with a few apps - A few Apps Greyed out

Hello Guys,
I have an iPAD 2 (64 Gig no 3G). I have the below problem with 4-5 apps
- The App does not show up in any of the home screens
- Search does not show the Apps
- Search for the specific App in App Store shows that the App is installed, but there is no way i can delete these Apps from my iPAD or use them
- There was an update for one of the above missing Apps, but the update button was greyed out in the App Store.
I want to use a few of the above Apps, but there is no way i can either use them or delete them.
Any help is resolving the above is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Lavanya.

All,
At last i resolved the problem ... To be franck ... it was not a problem to begin with. We forgot about some restrictions that we had set and the Apps that were missing were newspaper and music apps that were not sutable as per the rules that were set and so not showing up.
Just though of posting this as this might help poeple like me running around
Thanks,
Satya.

Have you tried closing all apps via the iPad's multitasking bar and then doing a soft-reset and seeing that helps ? To close all apps :
iOS 7: double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag each app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
iOS 6 and below : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...

I have a problem with running an EXE file on win2000, the Lab View is 5.1 and I do not know if it is 16 bit...what should I do?

Hi Arika,
The drivers that you need to install to make your executable work depends on what your executable is doing. To get started, you need to have the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine installed on your target machine (the Win2000 machine you are planning to use) in order to run your executable. Next, you need to determine what drivers your executable uses, if any. For example, if you are using GPIB instrument control, you will need to install the NI-488 drivers on your target machine. If you are performing data acquisition, you will need to install NI-DAQ drivers. If you are doing image acquistion, you will need to install NI-IMAQ drivers.
All these drivers are available for downloading on ni.com. To get the drivers, go to ht
tp://www.ni.com/support , click on the link that takes you to Drivers and Updates (under Option 3), and click on the links to get to the driver(s) you need. For example, if you need the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time engine, click on the All Drivers and Updates by Application link on the main page (http://www.ni.com/softlib.nsf/). Then click on the LabVIEW link, Windows 2000, Run Time Engine, and then you will see the link to get to the page to download the LabVIEW 5.1.1 Run-Time Engine.
I hope this information helps.

Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) - but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into
and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there. This is what Barney previously posted about that:
