Aero greyed for regular users

Hello,
Aero is activated on my Windows 2008 R2 server, but can only be selected by the Administrator user through RDP, for a regular user through RDP, aero themes are greyed out! The GP to allow composition is enabled.
Where is the option that blocks this? I checked the domain policies, but did not find anything.
Thanks, Dominic

Hi,
You can enable below policy setting for allowing desktop composition for rd session.
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Remote Session Environment
Allow desktop composition for remote desktop sessions
On Windows 2008 R2 server, after Aero Glass remoting is enabled, any new user connecting remotely with the proper client settings will automatically get Aero Glass in the remote session.
Existing users on the server will need to manually change the theme in the remote session once by selecting the Windows 7 Aero theme in desktop personalization. Subsequent connections will automatically get the Aero theme in the remote session.
Please check below article for more detail.

Gnome won't start for regular user

I've got Xorg installed, and KDE. These both work fine for regular users. I decided to put Gnome on the box and play with it, and it loads fine for root. When I log in as a regular user and try to start Gnome, it comes up with an ugly desktop, a splash screen, then just an X for the mouse on the ugly desktop.
I'm assuming this must be a permissions problem, but I'm not sure what needs to be changed. I checked out the gnome and kde directories, and everything seems to be owned by root, so I know I'm missing something somewhere.
If permissions, what needs to be changed? If not, then what?

I've upgraded to gnome 2.12, it still doesn't load
As it _tries_ to load, it brings up a message box saying "gnome-settings-handler could not be started" or something to that effect, which basically means nothing can run.
I tried deleting /tmp, didn't work.
I'm getting _really_ frustrated
I dont want to go back to XFCE (I dont want to open another terminal just to eject my dvd drive ever again), and I'm getting insanely sick of KDE.. it's just un-usable..
Sorry if anyone out there likes KDE.. no offence.. but I just find it un-usable..

AppV 5 HF5 packages using /appve fail for regular users on Win 7

Hello,
I've been struggling with some App-V packages that fail to start on Win 7 machines provided trough Xendesktop.
All packages in question make use of locally installed Internet Explorer 9 and /appve switch :
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" /appvve:D89030F5-436B-4A82-A104-A5E5E8089824_6C521CD6-5116-4587-B9E8-E386075F7A79
All other streamed apps can be started fine (the ones not using /appve switch)
If I run this package as a regular user I always get an error that "Internet Explorer has stopped working" and a error message in the application log:
Faulting application name: iexplore.exe, version: 9.0.8112.16599, time stamp: 0x5473964b
Faulting module name: AppVEntSubsystems32.dll, version: 5.0.3404.0, time stamp: 0x537e6b1f

Report Id: 6adc7087-a081-11e4-96bf-001dd8f22044
If I start the application on the same machine using a domain account user the app starts fine.
Internet explorer works fine for the regular users.
On a machine running Windows server 2008 R2 the same user can start the packages without any problems.
I've been looking at the permissions needed but can't seem to get to the end of this...
Has anyone seen the issue or has any clue what I can do?
Thanks!

It looks like some others have had issues with the /appvve switch in Citrix environments too:
http://discussions.citrix.com/topic/348733-publishing-app-v-50-app-with-appvve-switch/
I wonder if you've approached Citrix about this? I would assume it's something about the way Citrix pass the command

Installation requirements for regular user

Hi,
I'm building my first widget with Yahoo Widgets, Eclipse and the SAP Widget Foundation installed.
I've got my widget working on my pc and can export the widget. Data retrieval from SAP is showing in the widget.
I wonder what a regular user ( on an other pc) needs to install to use the widget? Only Yahoo widgets or more? Can he/she change the login settings?
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Bert

Hi Bert,
You should install Yahoo widget Engine,SAP widget Foundation individually.
My suggestion is you can install SAP widget foundation in one system and you can define the service provider in the same system so that it act as a server.
Then from another PC you need to install only yahoo widget engine and consume the defined services.
So this will be of client/server model....
please refer the below link for more details......I havent test the same scenario in case of firewalls...

Printer Prints fine for Admin Account, but not for "Regular" User Account.

Printer works perfectly when signed on as Administrator, but not when we use non-admin login. I can see the printer - it says ready, but it won't print.. although job does not sit in printer queue.
I did a full driver install FROM the local account, using "Run as" - but it can't find the printer. I did a Full Driver Install from the Admin account, with no change to the non- admin account. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks .

Hi @maggie-o,
I understand you can print when printing form an admin account, but otherwise can not. I would be happy to help you with this.
If you are running Norton Antivirus, go into the Control Panel and click on Printers & Faxes, then right click on the Printer and select Properties. In the Properties, click on the Advanced tab., and set it to Print Direct to Printer instead of using the Print Spooler. I think there is something in Norton that prevents the Limited Users account from accessing the Print Spooler.
If the issue persists, please take a look at the following articles: Security permissions for printing, & To set or remove permissions for a printer.
I hope this helps.

After update xfree- xorg, no kde for regular user (Root o

In a silly mood I decided to finally move to xorg on my perfectly working laptop (centrino+ intel i810 graphics). It was the only thing that was not up to date on this machine.
This is where a lot of trouble began:
In kdm ( yes the x server works ok ) I choose a user account. Kde starts with the splash but sticks at "initializing peripherals". Then bang, I'm back in kdm menu...
After I have succesfully logged in and out as root, I can again log in as a user. Strange!
I pinned the problem down to kde complaining about the directory
/tmp/. ICE-unix
not belonging to root (indeed it belonged to the user that tried to log in.) When I change ownership to root before trying to log in, I can successfully log in. After every reboot however this will have to be repeated.
Anyone have a solution for this tedious problem?

I found this one. Sure this would work (the rc.local trick) but it doesn't tackle the source of the problem....

Is there any more wisdom on this issue?

Runing Flash as regular user

I have Studio 8 installed in the computer lab. There are no
problems with running with Dreamweaver and Flash as member of
Administrators, but if I login as a regular user I can only run
Dreamweaver. Flash tries to run an installer and then give me the
following error message:
Error 1706: No valid source could be found for product
Macromedia Flash 8. Windows installer can not continue.
Is there any way to set up flash so that the installer isn't
necessary. Regular users can not install anything in the lab.
Thanks,
Steffen

You got that 100% right... I agree with you.
But I don't see this like customization.
It's not changing/adding features of program/OS (like patch or something)
AFAIK, many packages (trough I'm not sure if thats in PKGBUILD, or in native packages) are creating new groups to avoid programs being run as root.
Besides that, when admin installs program, its everything the same for him, besides he doesn't have to do the same after every update.
But when regular user installs program, he would 80% run that as root (like you did), which is (potentiality hight) security risk. Isn't it easier and better to just once type: sudo gpasswd -a user wireshark, then running it as root?
Of course, user should be told that he should add him self to group wireshark at the time of installation (what many archlinux packages does), so he doesn't have to crawl web to find the answer. Also, post_remove scrip should delete wireshark group to keep system clean.
I made my self a script and its not a problem to run it after every update. It's just a try to make archlinux more safe for regular user.
(admins would take care of this them self, I rly hope).

Screen share capability being removed for regular ...

Is screen sharing being removed for regular users?
I use this function once or twice a month (not enough to justify paying for the upgrade), is there no option for people like me going forward? Is there an alternative in/to skype that I should be investigating?

Hi, fintan, and welcome to the Community,
Not that I am aware of! Here's the thing that causes a lot of confusion: you may share screens with one other Skype person, no charges, using a "free" Skype account (one that has no credit or subscriptions), when on an audio-only call. However ...
If you are in the midst of a video call with another Skype user, and wish to share your screen, then Skype "sees" the screen share as another video feed or call participant. I know it does not make sense! So, if you are in the middle of a video call with another person and wish to share your screen, then simply turn off your webcam - then share your screen.
If you want to leave your webcam on and share your screen, then one participant on the call would need to have a Skype Premium subscription.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,
Elaine

[All Platforms][Playlists] Feature for normal user to customize playlist cover

Hello spotfiy commuity! I saw a post about this a cople of years back, but I feel like its time to revisit the subject. I have always wanted a feature that enabled me to choose a custom playlist cover photo. This would make my playlist even more personal. I always wonder why this wasn't a feature, I thought that it could be legal issues with the pictures, but just resently spotify released the "Discover weekly" that is absolutely amazing! On the playlist they use your facebook picture as the playlist cover. So it can't be legal issues? One can use anything as a facebook photo (No copy rights needed). I know this is a feature for records companys or larger playlist and so on. I can understand that its limited to partners, but I don't think it would do any harm to add this feature for regular users aswell? All I really want is an reason why this isn't a feature for normal users :)

Updated: 2015-08-03Hi and thanks for your contribution! Any announcements about this potential feature will be announced in this thread:

User Defined Fields greyed out for one user

Hi Experts,
One of our users is a Super User but on the Business Partner Master Data screen, the User Defined Fields are greyed out.
This is user specific as the issue is happening for the same user on 2 seperate PCs.
Other users can update these UDFs - any suggestions?
Thanks
Greig

Hi
take a look at this SAP Note :
Cannot access settings for the user defined fields
Symptom
Cannot access settings for the User Defined Field(UDF)
Other terms
UDF, user defined field, sbo-udf, settings for UDF are inactive, the settings for the udf are greyed out.
Reason and Prerequisites
Need to use the Settings option to order the udf.
In Tools -> User Defined fields -> Settings the option 'Settings' is greyed out and inactive.
Solution
If in Tools -> User Defined fields -> settings and this option is not available then return to the document and click anywhere in the main document window.
Now return to Tools -> User Defined fields -> settings and this option will now be active.

Crystal add on works for admin user on server but not regular user

Hi
The crystal add on has been installed and working for months. Another colleague was working with it, not sure what happened but it stopped working. I was able to re-register and get it working on a user's workstation using fat client. It is installed on the server. Some users user remote desktop to connect to the server.
If I login to the server as an admin user - i login to SAP as manager and can use the add on. Works fine.
If I login to the server as a regular user, login as manager into SAP, I get an installation error with the Crystal add on. Since it is already installed and working - why when i login to the same server as a different windows login but SAME manager SAP user - why would it not work?
I'm using crystal reports full version on the server because that is where I edit the reports.
The workstations have the runtime installed.
HELP!

hi
the error when I login as the user on the server is :
Add-on Crystal Reports for SAP Business One: Add-on %s - uninstall failed.
Which I don't understand at all b/c if I login on the same server as a different windows login
with admin rights it works fine.
What log file are you speaking of? I'm new to add on installs.
I don't even install SAP I work with crystal reports but got stuck dealing with this add on.
thanks!

Why won't garageband work for second user account

I have recently had new hard drive installed in my iMac, after a lot of time recovering everything I have my main (admin) user account working fine, including garageband 11 working fine after having to go through the unistall and delete all the library files work around. But now when I add a second user account for my kids, i get the same problem I had earlier. It shouldn't be the same thing because all of those files were deleted. I have cleared out the lirary files in the ~user library as well just in case but still the same issue. I get the warning that garageband needs to download files to work, it seemingly downloads all the files, then installs them, gets to 100% installed and then crashes.

. I get the warning that garageband needs to download files to work, it seemingly downloads all the files, then installs them, gets to 100% installed and then crashes.
This looks like GarageBand is trying to install the additional content - loops, instruments - for the new users all over again as well. This should not happen. All loops and instruments should have been installed in the system library for all users and not in your user library for you alone. Or there may be a permissions problem with the system library. Did you install all additional contents from an administrator account or a regular user account without administrator privileges?

[SOLVED] XFCE4 Will Not Open When Logged On as Regular User

Please excuse me if I am being a noob, but I only installed ArchLinux yesterday. Whenever I run
startxfce4
as a regular user, the screen goes dark, flashes the Nvidia logo, then exits to a dialog box that reads:
Unable to load a failsafe session Unable to determine failsafe session name. Possible causes: xfconfd isn't running (D-bus setup problem); environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is set incorrectly (msut include "/etc"), or xfce4-session is installed incorrectly."
When I check the output after I click "Quit" on the dialog box, the output at the end reads
gpg-agent[1538]:error creating '/home/mordecai/.cache/gpg-agent-info' : Permission denied (xfce4-session:1515): Pango-WARNING **:error opening config file '/home/mordecai/.config/pango/pangorc' : Permission denied
However, when I run
startxfce4
logged on as root, everything opens fine. Thanks for any help and/or pointers.

Also, when I try to start xfconfd it gives me this:
$ /usr/lib/xfce4/xfconf/xfconfd
(xfconfd:20910: xfconfd-CRITICAL **: Xfconfd failed to start: Unable to autolaunch a dbus-daemon without a $DISPLAY for X11
I also checked the environment variable $XDG-CONFIG-DIRS and it is set correctly, and the xfce4-session installation did not return any error messages.
