Can't lock in to gnome desktop

Hi All
I just installed Solaris 10 on a SunBlade 100 machine.
I cat binary file by mistake, the entire system hang up, and force to shutdown ( just power off ).
After rebooting, and login to gnome destkop, the "main error window" appears with "Nautilus can't be used now, due to an unexpected error from Bonobo when attempting to register the file manager view server.
Is Solaris 10 so unstable ? It boast of ZFS it able to handle file curruption etc.
Please help.
Cheers

  • Can't Lock Screen in Gnome

    I've installed xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver but I still can't lock the screen in Gnome.  There's a keyboard binding of CTRL+ALT+L to lock the screen and also a menu entry under System but neither of them work, they don't throw an error message or anything.  lock_enabled is enabled in gconf-editor as well.  Any ideas?

    Never mind, restarting the X server did the trick.

  • I can't save files to my desktop, but I can save anywhere else. How do I fix this?

    I can't save files to my desktop.  I have no problem saving the same file anywhere else.  WHen I try through excel, for example, it tells me the file is read only. When I try to save it as a different file name, a pop up tells me I do not have permission to save to the desktop.  The same issue occurs when I attempt to take a screen shot (default save to desktop)

    Click on it, choose Get Info from the File menu, give yourself Read & Write access under Sharing and Permissions or Ownership and Permissions, and ensure it's not locked.

  • Can RAM lock on a new iMac?

    Hi all
    Just a quickie. My mum has recently purchased a brand new iMac. Specs below:
    21.5-inch: 2.7GHz
    2.7GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i5
    1920 x 1080 resolution
    4GB (two 2GB) memory
    1TB hard drive
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512MB
    OS 10.7.3
    My question is this:
    My mum's not into downloading applications and such, so I have to step in and help out. The following might be a little vague but I'll try and be as clear as possible. I downloaded Google Notifier and World of Warcraft These programs were safely in the applications folder, but there appeared to be some files left on the desktop - files that I'd assumed could be trashed. I filed them in an empty file on the desktop until I could determine whether they were of any use. To cut a long story stort, at certian points a file/files were taken from applications or empty folder and dropped onto the desktop. Although my mum didn't seem to notice, I saw something I didn't like. It happened 2 or 3 times when files were taken from folders and dropped onto the desktop. As they dropped there seemed to be some distortion on the screen as a whole. If I had to describe the distortion I would say it was similar to the distortion you might get on a digital tv when the signal drops temporarily. The times that it did happen, it only flickered for a split second in part of the screen, and only when files were dropped. Maybe the system was being overworked? Maybe it was just a glitch? Maybe applications were still running and files were connected a system that was still running? At one point I bordered on taking the machine back for a replacement as if you're paying over a grand for a new computer I would have expected what I saw not to happen. But might be being over cautious as was simply concerned as my mum had paid a lot of money out.
    I'm just wondering whether this seems strange? Whether anyone's experienced anything similar?
    I've spoken to Applecare. They advised it 'may' be a hardware fault. Or that the RAM may have 'lcoked' when working or large files were taken from a folder and dropped onto the desktop. Can RAM lock? I've never heard of this before?
    All now seems to be working fine. Sorry if I haven't been clear.
    Many thanks to all who take the time to read through my post.
    Kind regards -
    Blubber Bear

    I don't know about locking RAM, but strongly suggest that you contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine. That might also apply to a new machine within it's first 90 days of use.

  • GNOME Desktop Too Bare!

    I love Arch and I love GNOME.  The problem is - the default GNOME desktop that comes with Arch is EXTREMELY BARE!  Even after I change the wallpaper and add some new icons.  It just feels so empty.  Do you guys have any suggestions on how I can fix things up?

    Wallpapers:
    (install downloadthemall firefox extension. open all pics in new tabs, when you're done the click address bar, then downloadthemall from menu. this way you get them all in one click)
    http://browse.deviantart.com/customization/wallpaper/
    GTK engine + gtkrc:
    (from repos, searc with pacman)
    murrine, rezlooks
    Icons and window borders (aka "metacity themes"):
    (install by dragging tar.gz packs to theme preferences window, save your favourites to disk until next installation)
    www.gnome-look.org (sort by highest rating)
    Cursor themes:
    (from repos, searc with pacman. These are the default cursors in ubuntu btw.)
    xcursor-vanilla-dmz, xcursor-vanilla-dmz-aa
    Conky is fun too, if you're into that sort of thing. It can be a bit tricky to use alongside a gnome/kde "root window" (desktop) though...
    I myself installed xcompmgr and avant-window-navigator a while ago. fun stuff. pretty too.
    You could also design your own panels backgrounds with "the gimp". curved or "glossy" panels is fun to experiment with

  • HDD icons not appearing on my Gnome desktop when mounted [SOLVED]

    I have several ntfs partitons that I'd like to see as icons on my Gnome desktop.  When I ran Debian/Lenny, I would mount them like so:
    $ sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /mnt/D
    After that command ran, a new icon (HDD) would appear on my Gnome desktop.  I didn't mess with fuseblock at all.  I'd like to get this behavior with Arch but don't understand what I need to do.
    Thanks!
    EDIT: foutrelis solved this, see his post below.

    It looks like if the mount point is under /media it will show up on the desktop. This is not the case with /mnt.
    You're the man, foutrelis!  That did it!  I can't explain why it worked mounted to /mnt/D under Debian but /media/D works for me!  Thank you for the reply!
    Now if you can tell me how I can edit the list of partitions that Gnome gives users, you'll be batting 1000.  Basically, I don't want every single partition to appear in the list.

  • Can't See Anything on my Desktop

    Okay I know I'll slap myself in the future for saying this, but whenever I look at my desktop all I see is the background, but when I navigate to /home/user/desktop I see files there! I'm such a retard

  • Can't lock the lock in accounts/ time -date and other applications

    Hi I am new to these discussions and i am hoping someone can help me with my problem.
    The best way is to explain what happened..
    I have a 2 core duo Macbook with 10.5.1 installed and I was screen sharing with my g5 desktop that also has 10.5.1 on it, once I was done I shut down my Macbook, and when I went to start it up, later on that evening, I had to now login (Where I have always had it on automatic login ). So I went to accounts to reset it but it was still set to automatic so when I, went to lock the lock I no longer could lock it no matter how many times I would click on it. (Just to mention that the lock was open by the way which seemed odd to me because it was always locked before) The same thing now occurs in time and date. I also went to check info on my hard drive and there is no lock on the bottom right hand side when there was one before.
    I went to disk utility to repair, the utility would stop after a few seconds with the message in red "The underlying task reported failure on exit" I do not know what that means at all. So there is my situation.. Did I loose something, do I need to install something. Any help work be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    What will happen if I am unable to repair it?
    Right now I can login, I do not like doing it I wish the automatic function worked but I guess at this point I have access to all my files and everything seems to work except that I can not lock the lock in any application and that I have to log in every time I start up. The only other thing is I can not do any disk permission repair.
    I will pick up a disk warrior when it is ready to 10.5.
    I guess my original question is will my computer be ok like this or will things get worse?
    Thanks for your assistance.

  • I can't open anything on my desktop, can't right click either. Please help

    I hope that someone will have a simple solution to my problem. I need you to speak to me like a 10 yr old about this computer!!  To start out I found the computer screen locked on my daughters FB page. The mouse works, but the computer won't  let you click on anything. I had to manually turn computer off and restarted. My desktop comes up, however I can not open anything! And my Safari Icon is gone, and the firefox icon that I use for work purposes, has changed to a question mark. Please let me know how to procede!!

    More details, please.  Did you simply install Lion over the top of the Snow Leopard installation that was already on your Mac, or did you do something else?
    How are you trying to open those things?  What happens when you try?
    Can you select anything on the Desktop?  If you do that and invoke the menu option File > Get Info, what's the first thing you see under "Name" in the "Sharing & Permissions" section of the resulting window?

    I had a similar issue with HAL on my netbook (Lenovo S10e) running arch i686 kernelversion 2.6.32. When typing as root
    $ /etc/rc.d/hal start
    it failed.
    I then killed the hald process via
    $ killall hald
    and now it starts fine.
    Don't know what caused the problem, has there been a hal update recently?

  • Gdm depends on gnome-desktop [SOLVED]

    I have xfce and want to have a display manager so that I can automatically boot to the desktop. In (X)ubuntu I used to have gdm, so I would like to have that now too. The problem is that when I try to install gdm with pacman, gnome-desktop becomes a target. How come? Xubuntu uses gdm without having Gnome installed.
    If it isn't possible I guess I will have to install SLiM, but gdm would be my first choice.

    gdm has the same depedencies in ubuntu as in arch but the thing is they have split packages. they split gnome-panel in libpanel-applet2-0  etc. the same can be on gnome-desktop.
    http://packages.ubuntu.com/karmic/gdm
    if you really want to get rid of gnome-desktop, i recommend abs and recompile it and see if is working without gnome-desktop and his dependencies

  • Newbie: EL6 "database server" installed - how do I get the Gnome desktop ?

    I installed fresh EL6 on the same partition where EL5.6 was installed - did a reformat of "/" to take advantage of ext4.
    While installing EL6, I chose "Database Server" option - and did custom partitioning to preserve my other OS-es. The installation ran fine
    However I do not get Gnome ( or KDE will do too ) desktop.
    How do I add that ? Will I need to run install again and choose a "desktop" option (without formatting the root partition ) ?
    I have ULN registration if it matters
    Thanks

    There are lots and lots of RPM packages which make up the GNOME or KDE environment. Trying to install them all piecemeal is a daunting task. To address this, yum(8) has a feature known as "package groups" whereby you can install or remove all of the components making up that group in a single command. This how you want to do it.
    Unfortunately, neither ULN and public-yum.oracle.com appear to have support for these package groups. But, the RPM package groups are defined on the DVD installation media.
    This is the general approach:
    1) Make a clean install of the O/S and database product.
    2) DO NOT UP2DATE ANYTHING JUST YET!
    3) With the installation DVD still present, create a YUM repository which points to it. Something as simple as:
    cd /etc/yum.repos.d
    echo '[dvd]' >dvd.repo
    echo 'baseurl=file:///path/to/where/you/have/the/iso/mounted' >>dvd.repo
    echo 'enabled=1' >>dvd.repo
    echo 'gpgcheck=false' >>dvd.reposhould do the trick.
    4) Check your work:
    # yum grouplist5) Install the GNOME group:
    # yum groupinstall "GNOME Desktop Environment"6) Now, configure your ULN subscription at http://linux.oracle.com:
    # /usr/sbin/up2date --registerThere are two tricks here:
    1. The package group information is available only on the distro media.
    2. To use the group information on the distro DVD media, all currently-installed packages must match the versions available on the media. Cannot mix-and-match between the distro media and up2date packages.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi, I can't seem to change my desktop screensaver for my MacBook Pro.

    Hi, I can't seem to change my desktop screensaver for my MacBook Pro. When I open my system preferences and click the screensaver option the cursor loads and loads but never lets me actually click anything. Nor do my pictures upload to let me chose. It's been doing this for months and it is irritating. Is there a specfic reason why the cursor won't load at all? Any way I can fix that?

    Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    ~/Library/Preferences/ByHost
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return. A folder should open. If it does, look for a file with a long name that begins "com.apple.screensaver". There may be two such files. Select the onewithout the word "slideshow" in the name and open the Info dialog (command-I).
    Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
    In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
    What is the Modified date?

  • Gnome-desktop 1: prefix?

    Does anyone know why the 1: prefix is used on this package?

    If you look at the PKGBUILD you can see the epoch value, maybe that's the reason?

  • Gnome desktop icon description wrapping [Solved]

    How is it possible to make the icon descriptions in gnome desktop not wrap so early? For instance, the name "Evolution" is wrapped just before "n":
    Evolutio
    n
    And "Thunderbird" is wrapped as follows:
    Thunde
    rbird
    Solution
    It was a matter of opening "Places" --> desktop --> menu Edit --> Preferences and choosing a larger zoom for the Icon View Defaults (I had it set in 50% but obviously 75% is better, now only the "d" of "Thunderbird" is wrapped, but 100% is too big for my screen).

    hmm, i'm not sure what could have happened
    maybe you can get them back if you re-install gnome-menus, archlinux-menus ,, i don't think kde comes with any as a pkg.
    you might also be missing /usr/share/applications, most of the entries also come from desktop files in that directory
