Can't get x org kde to work when installing Noodle on my lap

Hi
After a lot of problems trying to upgrade my laptop to kde 3.4 I decided to make a new install.
I copied the /etc to safe place (/home/etc ; different partition)
Then I made a new install using the iso-burned Noodle.
Everything worked BUT X!
I have tried to use hwd -x, hwd -xa, mkcfg, and other tools and everything looked nice but it will not work. For some time I had x to start but never kde. And now neither of them will start.
Any hints? My laptop is Amilo Pro 2000. With Wombat I didn't need to make anything to get x work. It just worked all right from the very beginning. But I am not fond of the idea to reinstall wombat and then make an update and change to udf, get rid of hotplug etc, etc.
regards,
/Nahoj

I have allways had startx as startcommand for the graphical login but now I need to use kdm. I don't know why.
What more: It is not possible to add kdm in the end of /etc/rc.local and that way get it to start at boot up. Now I need to log in in textmode and then write kdm <enter>
I'm a bit confused but it works at least. And the wireless card works too. And boot up is a bit faster than before too.
If you add kdm to your daemons line in /etc/rc.conf it will start kdm at boot.
here is my daemons line:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia dbus hal kdm cups webmin autofs hwd network
netfs crond)

  • I can't get the add media to work when trying to upload to facebook, any suggestions?

    I can't get the add media button to add my photos so I can upload them to facebook, any suggestions?

    yes.  After wasting a couple of hours trying to get it to work - got on to Apple support.  After over an hour of them trying everything we decided to bin the app. and download another.  You have to make sure it's deleted from the trash (27,000 files) before apple store will recognize the purchase and the fact it is not on your system.
    Download worked perfect.  But there's more.
    Whilst trying to doing something unrelated this morning my system froze so I had to press on button to get a forced re-start.  Just produced three more videos - not working again!! Frustrated from Somerset Looks like I'm going to have to do this all over again.

  • I can't get my headset mic to work when using team speak anyone help ?

    hi i am playing WOW in my windows partition, but cant get the mic to work in a program called teamspeak i know i works ok as it's ok on my dell laptop, i can hear ok. it's not just in that game , i have tried to record, but it keeps telling me mic not connected, are there settings i need to change in the sound software to get it to work  ?

    ykaldes,
    Unfortunatly, the Mac requires that your mic source have a pre-amp in line with it. There are several that you can find online.
    That or you need to use a USB mic (such as you might find on a USB headset). Personally, I use a USB mic...
    I believe Apple did this so that your computer would be able to take feeds from musical instruments or 'professional' sound equipment.

  • Can't get simple Struts app to work when using DCs

    Hello,
    I need to use Struts to develop web apps. I took a simple example app of 3 screens and was able to get it working fine in local development.
    Then I tried to do same thing using DCs in a Track. The first page of the app is a jsp called login.jsp. That file has the following two lines at the beginning:
    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-html.tld" prefix="html" %>
    <%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/struts-bean.tld" prefix="bean" %>
    This works fine in local development. However in the DC I get the following error when I try to run login.jsp:
    Application error occurs during processing the request.
      Internal error while parsing JSP page C:/usr/sap/J2E/JC00/j2ee/cluster/server0/apps/com.firstenergycorp/pilot_webapp~strutsear/servlet_jsp/struts/root/login.jsp.
      Details:   com.sap.engine.services.servlets_jsp.lib.jspparser.exceptions.JspParseException: Tag library descriptor cannot be found for uri:{1}.  The ID of this error is
    Exception id: [000F1FCC15FA00450000000F00000CA4000400A8BC089FE5].
    The struts-html.tld and struts-bean.tld are both in the WEB-INF folder of my Web Module DC.
    So why am I getting this error?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    David.

    David,
    we are using Struts in our application without any problems. But we don't deploy via JDI but build the ear-files in Netweaver Studio and deploy with SDM.
    I guess the tag libs are not added properly to the war file of your productive environment. Can you check whether they contain the files in the correct path ?
    And you shouldn't mix Tag Libs and struts.jar of different versions (e.g 1.0 + 1.2). That will result in the very same error message.

  • When a html coded page requires the Windows Symbol font, Firefox does not call it, and the English alphabet characters display instead. How can I get the Symbol font to work when the page is loaded in Firefox??

    ''duplicate of https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/902677''
    This site shows Greek letters and Greek words by calling for the Windows Symbol font. The page(s) involved display correctly in Internet Explorer, but not in Firefox 3.6.1 or 8.1. In Firefox, the Greek letter does not appear, it is just replaced with the English letter for the equivalent keystroke. Here is a html line that ought to cause Symbol's Greek letter lowercase alpha to be displayed, but all you get is an "a" :
    (td width="60")(p align="center")(big)(strong)(font face="Symbol")(span style="font-family: , Symbol")a(/span)(/font)(/strong)(/big)(/td)
    **I have had to replace the left and right carets with left and right parentheses. Otherwise, the line actually executes, disappears, and just leaves a bolded "a" on the next line.***

    Reemphasizing, the page code works on Internet Explorer. It does _not_ work with Firefox ver 3.6.1 nor ver 8.0.1 (which I upgraded to, to see if that would solve the problem). The MDC FAQ solution is not a solution, because it forces the html coder to change his language just to accommodate Firefox. Firefox needs to change to conform to standards.
    What did work was that I followed the solution offered on:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/firefox3.html
    "How to reenable symbol font in Firefox 3 on Windows"
    <b>**********Solution*********</b>
    Download the file:
    http://hutchinson.belmont.ma.us/tth/symbol8859.otf
    Go to Control Panel/Fonts/Install New Font
    Install the font that was downloaded.
    <b>************Problem Solved*********</b>
    I think Firefox wants you to use _its_ font faces, not the standard Windows fonts. They do not have a Symbol font to replace the Windows TTF, I guess.

  • In an outgoing email message the "attach" document icon does not work in firefox. It does work when using internet explorer. How can I get the "attach" key to work when using firefox?

    Using firefox, if I am composing a new message in my hotmail account the "attachment" icon is not active, so nothing happens when I click on it in order to attach one of my word documents.
    The "attachment" icon is active when I am using hotmail and internet explorer.

    Firefox 3 will not run on OS X 10.3.9, it requires at least 10.4
    Try one of these browsers to see if you can access Hotmail - [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey1.1.19/ SeaMonkey 1.1.19] or [http://caminobrowser.org/download/ Camino 1.6.11]

  • I can't get my e-mail to work after installing Lion

    I installed Lion O.S. on my MacBook Pro and everythign works great except my e-mail, it just opens up an error screen??  Any help would be great!!

    You should only have one ID for iCloud, and perhaps one for the iTunes Store, depending on how you set it up.
    To setup iCloud email you need to login with your iCloud @me.com email address and iCloud password.

  • Can't get jdbc MySQL transactions to work

    Hi
    I'm trying to get a series of MySQL statements to work as a transaction but I can't get the transaction side to work.
    I have the tables set up as InnoDB to support transactions.
    My current code is written like this (from after the connection is opened). This method throws SQLException.
    Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
    String sql = "BEGIN;";
    int i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);
    // insert row into TABLE persons
    sql = "INSERT INTO persons SET " +
                  "personID='" + p.getPersonID() + "', " +
                  "firstName='" + p.getFirstName() + "', " +
                  "lastName='" + p.getLastName() + "', " +
                  "emailAddress='" + p.getEmailAddress() + "', " +
                  "password='" + p.getPassword() + "', " +
                  "approvalRating='" + p.getApprovalRating() + "';";
    i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);
    // get the address object associated with p
    Address a = p.getAddress();
    // insert row into TABLE addresses
    sql = "INSERT INTO addresses SET " +
                  "personID='" + a.getPersonID() + "', " +
                  "address1='" + a.getAddress1() + "', " +
                  "address2='" + a.getAddress2() + "', " +
                  "town='" + a.getTown() + "', " +
                  "city='" + a.getCity() + "', " +
                  "county='" + a.getCounty() + "', " +
                  "country='" + a.getCountry() + "', " +
                  "postcodeArea='" + a.getPostcodeArea() + "', " +
                  "postcode2='" + a.getPostcode2() + "', " +
                  "phoneHome='" + a.getPhoneHome() + "', " +
                  "phoneWork='" + a.getPhoneWork() + "', " +
                  "phoneMobile='" + a.getPhoneMobile() + "';";
    i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);
    sql = "COMMIT;";
    int i = statement.executeUpdate(sql);When the SQLException is caught, I want to execute a ROLLBACK
    I can't seem to get this to work. What am I doing wrong?

    1.) Which exact exception do you get and at what line?
    2.) You should really use PreparedStatements and set the parameters there instead of building a dynamic SQL string, because that's greatly in danger of beeing attacked with a SQL injection attack. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection for details.
    3.) You don't need to execute "COMMIT;" as a SQL command, there's connection.commit() for this (make sure that auto-commit is off, using connection.setAutoCommit() if necessary).
    Edit: 4.) You don't need to do "BEGIN" as well (what gave you the idea, by the way?)

  • I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone an i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    I have a macbook pro version 10.7.5 and my mailbox will not open at all and comes up with a quit message even though it is not open. how can i get into my account. it works on my iPhone and i have internet and all other functions working on my computer

    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.
    Step 1
    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.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing 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.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot. I know the report is long. Please post all of it anyway.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • I am trying to use an education program that needs Java applets to install and use and it will not use Safari. When I download IE from the web it will not install. How can I get a browser that will work on my MacAir for travel use of this program?

    I am trying to use and education program that needs Java applets and it will not run on Safari. IE will not install from the web. How do I get a browser that will work to install so I can use this program when I travel.

    Try using FireFox. IE will only run on a Mac if you run Windows on the Mac.
    Windows on Intel Macs
    There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
    Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows 7 or Windows 8.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
    Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
    CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
    VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
    Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. A more recent comparison of Parallels, VM Fusion, and Virtual Box is found at Virtualization Benchmarks- Parallels 10 vs. Fusion 7 vs. VirtualBox. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard and later. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
    You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • How can I get my web cam to work in Adobe Connect ?

    This is actually an end user's question that I am having trouble answering to...
    We use Adobe Connect to give online language classes, the end user is one of the students.
    I cannot find the right Support answer to give him.
    Problem:
    My camera does not work when I connect to Adobe's rooms but camera works fine with other software.
    Even though I suspected my old camera was working fine, yesterday I went ahead and bought a new camera. 
    I thought perhaps my webcam software may have been a problem, so I bought a different type camera with different software. 
    Even after removing all the old software, same result:  
    I surmised the problem might be caused by my firewall and security software, so once I tried changing the permissions for Adobe, and my Webcam, but that didn’t work.   
    Another time, I restarted my computer right before class and then turned off my firewall completely so there would be no interference but to no avail. I’m totally perplexed.  
    Isn’t there anyone else experiencing a similar problem?   Has anyone else found a solution? 
    I run Windows Vista with McAfee Internet Security Software.  I always reboot the computer before class and open no other programs other than Google Chrome. 
    I now have a brand new Microsoft LifeCam Cinema Camera with LifeCam 3.5 Webcam Software. 
    I test my camera before going online.  It always works fine.   Then I shut down the camera program and login into class.   
    When I “connect webcam” in the room, the light on my camera comes on (suggesting that it is ON), but only a black image is transmitted to the room.

    Check to see if you have Google Voice installed. If so, remove it and see
    if your problem vanishes. If not Google Voice, check to see if you have
    any other communications software which interacts with your cam and
    disable it. This was the problem I had with a similar problem on a Mac.

    Thanks a lot Heyward for the swift reply !
    I sent the advice out to the end user, but unfortunately this wasn't the
    solution.
    His reply is below :-
    The default resolution of my new camera is already set at 640x360, but I
    went ahead and tried several lower resolutions (e.g. 424x240; 320x240; and
    160x120) but none worked in the room - camera still showed up as black
    blank screen.  Also, as far as I can tell, I don’t have the option of
    adjusting the frame rate.
    I started playing around with my Internet Security Settings to see if they
    might be playing a role. So far, all to no avail.
    Hmm...quite a tricky one - webcams always are - maybe if he can find a way
    to adjust the frame rate (?).
    He's going to fiddle about with the settings a bit more and see if
    something does the trick.
    If anyone has had a similar problem and found an ingenious solution,
    please jot on a note on this thread.
