Awesome + pcmanfm :: can't open pcmanfm if it's the only client

Hello,
If you are running awesome WM + pcmanfm, can you repeat this ? :
- go to a fresh tag with no clients
- open pcmanfm with your keyboard shortcut
Does it fail ? Me it fails.
BUT
- go to a tag with already open clients
- open pcmanfm with your keyboard shortcut
It should work.
Also, it works fine from command line or the Run prompt (with or without other clients).
I launch pcmanfm with "dbus-launch pcmanfm".
Maybe it's something in my rc.lua, but maybe it's a bug of pcmanfm, so please help me troubleshoot
Thanks,
~ktr

But did you try the things I suggested ? (with or without another open client)

Thank you, unfortunately it goes to /dev/tty1 and I need to killall X to see it. (which I did) -> there is no errors.

  • Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?

    Firefox can't open normally without going through the "this is embarrassing" routine; nor does it close down properly; I get the "end program" message and have to say "end now"it also sticks frequently, i.e. screen freezes for a minute or more; should I uninstall and re-install to try and debug?
    - I've used Firefox exclusively for around 2 years.
    - My outlook express has no problems
    - other programs seem unaffected; it seems peculiar to Firefox.
    - my main use is surfing the net, primarily entering competitions on line via specialist competition sites.
    - every day at some stage(s) I have to switch computer off as Firefox has got very slow/sticky/freezes.
    I'm not techy by any means, but I can only thing of un- and re-installing to hopefully start with a clean slate.

    Sounds like something is keeping Firefox from closing properly. See this: <br />

  • Can I open two Safari windows at the same time?

    Can I open two Safari windows at the same time and split the windows in two on my screen? Right now, I have to open Safari and Firefox to get the split screen. I know I can press command to get multiple tabs, but that's not what I want. I want to use Safari on two open windows.

    HI,
    Open a browser window in Safari. Then Command + N
    Press command and ~ or ` to toggle between the windows.

  • Can't open secured documents on windows 7 domain client with mandatory profiles.

    While opening certain PDF files we have the problem that the user is presented with a message that he does not have the rights permissions. This happens twice, after that the users gets an empty page with the message the Adobe version might not be up to date. We use Acrobat Pro 10, but this also happens while using Reader 11.0.8. On our windows 2008 terminal services machine this could be fixed by giving the user rights on c:\ to create and remove a file. :O. On windows 7 this doesn't work probably because of UAC. But we've tried every solution to that available on the internet, disabling uac, changing uac options, changing rights on userprofile folders, changing rights on c:\ but to no avail. When using process explorer we can see it wants to create a temp file p328hkl.tmp or something like that on C but it can't and immediattely after is shows the error on screen.
    Anyone who also has this problem or solved it? There are no problems with simple self made pdf files/scans but only with certain types of pdf files for which it tries to create a tmp file.
    Thanks,
    Peter

    Hi Brogers,
    Thanks for your reaction. We do have AppData redirection in place. We redirect AppData to a share on our data server which works perfectly fine for all other applications. The weird thing is that Reader/Acrobat try to write to C:\ which to my knowledge should not happen, is this maybe a fallback because it can’t write to a different location? Users have full control on their own roaming AppData but not on their local AppData that is made by windows itself while copying the mandatory default profile to C:\.
    I might use the wrong term while saying secured documents. I’m talking about a document created by Raet/Youforce a web application for personal administration. The documents can be opened by other viewers than Acrobat/Reader but then only contain the background and not the text. In Acrobat/Reader they do open normally when Acrobat/Reader can create the .tmp file. Otherwise it will not display the file at all. I would attach such a document to see but since it contains certain info I am not allowed to do so.
    I hope we can work out a solution for this.

  • How many meetings can be opened by one account at the same time?

    I've tried Adobe Connect trial version.
    There are few questions about the product.
    1.How many meetings can be opened by one account at the same time?
       I could open 9meetings at the same time using other PCs. What is the limit?
    2.What is the maximum of students in a meeting?
       I'm thinking of buying monthly/Individual product.
    3.The meeting never end even though host is out of it. But we want to control.
       Can host close a meeting so that all participants are out of the session?
    Thanks for your attention.

    This depends on your licensing.
    If you are using a Named Host license, then you can open one meeting at a time. If other members of the Meeting Host group are present in a room, then it should allow you to have multiple rooms open, one for each Meeting Host licensing being used.
    If you are using the Concurrent Learner license, then each meeting you join uses a different licenses, so as long as you have concurrent seats available, you can open as many rooms as you want/need.
    Maximum number of attendees (students) would be your room's concurrent maximum, less your self. The monthly version of Connect offers 25 concurrent attendees in each room, so that would be 24 students and you.
    The meeting does end after it is dormant (no host) for ~15 min, however you can use the End Meeting function (Meeting > End Meeting) to close the meeting and remove everyone, including yourself, from the room.

  • Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing".

    Hello; I am using Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436). I tried unsuccessfully to upgrade at one point. Now can't open existing documents. Message "The index.xml file is missing". How can I correct this ?
    Thank you
    Tom

    I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to?  If so then do it.  Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
    close iWeb.
    delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    launch iWeb and try again.
    If that doesn't help continue with:
    move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
    launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
    go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
    move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
    launch iWeb and try again.

  • I can't open a new tab. The new tab appears, but when I click on it, it won't do anything

    When I try to open a new tab to the right of my very first tab when I open Firefox, it won't open a new tab. The only way I can get a new tab is to right click on a link somewhere on my homepage and tell it to open a new tab for that link.

    Try uninstalling the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and the current version of Firefox.

  • Can I open a port range in the firewall for one host?

    Can I open a port range in the firewall for one host?  In other words, I want to be able to open ports 54001 to 54050 to allow one remote host in my LAN to access that port range in my Mac Server.  Is this possible?  Currently, the only option I see is to open individual ports for all external hosts (eg http or https)
    Thanks in advance!

    Which version of OS X Server are you using?
    Server 2.2 and earlier includes an interface to a software firewall that can be configured to open specific ports very easily. Descriptions of how to configure the firewall can be found in the documentation for these versions.
    Server 3.x no longer has an interface to the software firewall - it is still there, but you need to use other methods do configure it.  A popular example of such a method is the icefloor utility.
    Apple suggest that for Server 3 you delegate firewall duties to an external router.  Server 3 includes the ability to configure the firewall component of Apple Airport routers 'automatically'
    if you connect a machine running Server 3 directly to an Airport Router the router appears in the LH pane in the Server.app window (usually second line, below the entry for the server itself), and you can control what services are 'enabled' through the firewall there.
    a more common solution perhaps is to use a non-apple router, and configure the firewall (and so open specific ports) through whatever control interface is provided for that router.  There are many many kinds of hardware router you could use, and the control interfaces used vary widely - so you will have to consulting the documentation for your own router to work out how to do this.
    If you post information about your software versions, and hardware configuration, it is possible that you can get more specific help with the tasks involved in opening the ports.
    Hope this helps.

    I can't open my iPod Touch - tried the restore message and then error mewssage 3014 - iOS problems???

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Follow the instructions in the support document that you linked to the forum with. See the section about not syncing. You will probably need to erase it in iCloud to be able to restore it as new. Remove the device from your iCloud account which will disable Find My iPhone.
