Can't save preferences in LXDE

I installed LXDE and I like it. I must adjust the monitor resolution from the default however. But when I reboot, it doesn't remember what I set.
Do I need to save it somehow?
Or perhaps there is a permission issue that it's not saving itself?

As far as I understand it, monitor resolutions should be set in xorg.conf. Follow the instructions in the Xorg Wiki:

  • How do I get past, "Can't save preferences message" in PS CS6?

    Could not save Preferences because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the ‘Get Info’ command in the Finder to ensure the file is unlocked and you have permission to access the file. If the problem persists, save the document to a different file or duplicate it in the Finder.

    Thanks for showing an interest… But!
         I have tried all the regular stuff. This problem only showed up in OSX Lion. Up till then all was well at Snow Leopard and Adobe CS5.5 Suite. After upgrading to OSX Lion all Hell broke loose. Quite a catastrophe of conflicts. In Design wouldn’t launch. A problem with Suitcase Fusion 4. But PS CS6 had two major problems. One the Epson Artisan 835 could not be seen in Imports. A conflict between 32 and 64 bit formats and again, drivers. But the most persistent and perplexing problem has been that of the preferences. Oh and one other thing, whenever you quit the program, PS CS6, a message appears saying that the program has quit for no good reason and did I want to send a report to Adobe and/or Mac. Well I must have sent them a thousand reports. What I most suspect is file damage and incompatibility. What I have tried has not found the files to replace those that will reset themselves. i.e. .plst etc. without buggering up the works. I have tried to figure out what might have caused such changes between Snow and Lion other than the well known differences regarding supported stuff, formats and out of date software i.e. Rosetta. Some how or other I suspect damaged files. The kind of damage where a single character is missing and nothing works but no file checker in the world can detect as screwing up the works. Now in several cases a lot of re-installation has been done. But again no help. So putting a finger on the culprit file(s) has not been easy. Fortunately this machine has four active drives so reverting back to where all was OK is easy. But as for going forward, well that is at a standstill.
        So, if any body out there has any insight to these three problems I would be most interested to see what you got.
    Many Thanks

  • Can't Save Preferences Because File is Locked?

    I just had to reinstall after a wipe of my Mac.  Program opens, I can use it, but when I quit it I get this message:
    Could not save preferences because the file is locked or you do no have the necessary privilieges.  Use the "get info" command in the Finder to unlock or change permissions on the file or enclosing folders.
    I went into Applications, right clicked on the CS5 icon, which brought up the "get Info" box.  At the bottom, under Sharing & Permissions it says I have custome access; Me: read & write
    System, read & write
    Admin, read & write
    everyone, read only
    On the "everyone" the only choices I have are read only, write only or no access.
    How can I fix this?

    The preferences are not written into the application, so you're looking in the wrong place. The main preferences file for CS5 should be:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Prefs.psp
    To locate it, copy the following path, press Shift+Cmd+G in Finder, paste the path and hit Go:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings/
    If you have Ps CS5.1, replace "CS5" with "CS5.1" in the above.

  • Can't save preferences in CS5

    When I close PS CS5 I get an error message that "Could not save Preferences because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges...."  Searching other threads it appears that some people were able to solve this problem by going into User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 and changing the permissions to Read & Write.  But on my computer I have two choices User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Paths/Prefs or User/Library/Preference/Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings.  Logically it seems I ought to be able to open the User/Library...CS5 Paths/Prefs dialogue box and change the Sharing and Permissions for Me and "everyone" to Read & Write.  So I unlock the box, enter my password, change preferences to Read & Write, close out of the dialogue box, close out of the finder and reopen CS5.  But when I close CS5, I still get the error message.  When I go back to User/Library...CS5 Paths/Prefs and reopen the dialogue box, I see that "everyone" is reset to Read only.  I have tried restarting the computer after resetting the permissions and before opening CS5 but no difference.  I have tried this when PS CS5 is open and when it is not open and still no difference.  How do I get the revised Read & Write permissions to stick?

    Sorry, I tried that too and it still does not preserve the Read & Write permission for "everyone" once I open CS5.
    Here is what I am doing:  navigate to Macintosh HD/Users/Karl (Me)/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photshop CS5 Paths/Prefs > click on More Info > unlock >change everyone to Read & Write > relock > close windows in Finder > open CS5 > close CS5 > same error message>permissions reset to everyone to read only.  By the way karl(me) has always had Read & Write permissions.
    I'm stumped.

  • Can't save preferences for CD burner?

    I'm trying to change the DVD Rom that I use to burn CDs under "Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Burning". The desired DVD Rom is shown in the pull-down menu but I can't seem to save this preference and it keeps pointing to the wrong device.
    Any thoughts?

    Please excuse me, I found the recalcitrant files & moving them to my desktop did indeed save the day again. In case anyone else encounters a similar problem the files in question are located at: /Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/ (you need to hold down the option/alt key to see the library folder), and they're the "Adobe Photoshop CC 2014 Settings" folder, & the file "com.adobe.Photoshop.plist"
    Now I get to try these cool new features!

  • Apple mail can't save preferences

    Using Apple Mail on my Macbook Pro running Lion 10.8.2. Also have Mail running on iPhone 4S and iPad 2. If I make any changes (Smart Folders, Signature file, etc.) and shut down the program, none of the changes are saved upon launching the program. I have several Mail accounts, all IMAP variety. I have repaired my disk and preferences using disk repair and Onyx. I have not made any changes to the iPhone or iPad applications.

    Apple Support helped me solve this.
    System Preferences>iCloud
    Deselected "Documents & Data" and the ability to save new Smart Mailboxes has been restored.
    Engineering is going to get this report and let me know what the next steps are. I was not using that iCloud feature to sync documents so deselection was not a problem.
    Thanks, Apple Support.

  • Can't save preferences.

    So,all started after i reset firefox to solve a problem.After resetting firefox i tried to fix my settings (homepage,tabs on top,etc).After closing browser,and re-opening it everything was like i didn't change.I checked my firefox folder and saw user.js and prefs.js missing and it was not being generated if i opened firefox.I tried to put my old prefs.js but it didnt work.Then,i uninstalled and re-installed firefox and same thing repeated.I am really confused,can anyone help me?

    Are you looking in the correct location?
    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder:
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
    "Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile that will be moved to the desktop, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.

  • Trying to save preferences to a network drive (no local drives available).

    I'm on a virtual desktop with no local drives.  Captivate 8 is telling me that I can't save Preferences, Projects, or Cache items to a network drive.  I have no choice in the matter.  Any ideas how I can get around this?  Thanks.

    You're stuck. The computer you are currently using is not suitable for running Captivate. You need to get one with local drives and which allows you to run the app as an administrator.

  • Can't Access Desktop & Screen Saver Preferences

    Hi everyone,
    Can't figure this one out!!!
    In the main System Preferences>Show All, the title of Desktop & Screen Saver icon has changed to "DesktopScreenEffectsPrefDock". It is all smashed together like that and partially overlays the "Appearance" title to the left of it.
    When I click on the icon, the new window appears, but the Desktop & Screen Saver preferences don't display inside it. The title appears in the top bar of the window, but it is empty below that. Any other preferences icons I click on display fine.
    Any thoughts?
    I did just have the processor upgrade done, and also removed some bad memory. Not sure if that's contributing? I'd be grateful for any help.

    TJ,
    I am unfamiliar with all of the options provided by YASU, and other than flipping a coin or throwing caution to the wind I am unable to advise.
    Perhaps an Archive and Install followed by the 10.3.9 Combo Update, and Security Update 2006-003 (10.3.9 Client) may be called for.

  • How can I save a jepg file in lower case letters? I check the use lower case box in preferences but it's not happening. PSCC

    how can I save a jepg file in lower case letters? I check the use lower case box in preferences but it's not happening. PSCC

    Let's try a preferences reset: (Windows)
    Press and hold Control - Shift - Alt immediately upon cold-starting Photoshop.  If you get the keys down quickly enough - and you have to be VERY quick - it will prompt you to confirm deletion of your established preferences, which will lead to them all being set to defaults.

  • How can I save my preferences?

    I am preparing to install a new hard drive in my computer and I don't want to lose all of my preferences.  How can I save these to reload after the install?
    I am using Adobe CS4 Extended v. 11.0.2 on a WIN XP Pro sp3 machine.
    Also, will my preferences carry over to Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium?
    Thanks!
    Susan
    P.S. My current hard drive has sufferend two crashes already so I'm hoping to get the hard drive switched over as soon as it arrives (next day or 2).  Thanks!

    Thanks Curt, but I'm still confused by one statement in the article from the link you posted above.  The author states, "You can do this by making a new action set (folder) within PS, then drag your favorite actions into it from other sets, then save your favorites set in a safe place."
    I have created a "favorite actions" folder with my most used and self-created action sets in it.  But how do I save that favorite set?
    I have been able to find the other items as well, so thanks for the link...AND the tip about deactivating my products before pulling the drive.  (That's a step I'm certain my IT staff would have overlooked!)

  • Can't save printing preference HP 6313 All in one

    Since last week my settings changed to the default factory settings and I've tried changing them back to the ones I prefer by doing the following:
    Control panel - Printers and Faxes - right click HP 6313 - printing preference and then I make the changes and click ok / apply (where applicable and where I can)
    Close everything and when I print it's back to the factory settings. Nothing stays the way I want it to.
    I can't save a new printing shortcut, there's no space to fill in a new shortcut.
    I'm running Windows XP.
    The only thing I changed was my scan properties, and I don't think that doing that could change my printing properties.
    Any help would be appreciated since I forget to change the settings every time and I'm wasting ink (which I don't like doing)

  • Can we extract the "Save" preference info (resolution, JPG quality, etc.) from an existing PDF file?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to obtain *ALL* the save preference data from a PDF file with Adobe Reader alone?
    I'm referring to document resolution, but also what JPG quality and vector settings were used.
    Thanks!

  • Can not set preferences...

    Hi there,
    I have been using the WTK without any problem for quite a long time, but without using any bluetooth features. Lately, after some bluetooth methods were implemented I had difficulties to launch my MIDlet on the emulator. I got some exceptions related to the JSR082, and thought everything was normal. So I tried to set up WTK preferences accordingly to my needs, and that's when my problem occured. All the preferences of my installation were blank, and moreover, I can not save the modification I made to them. The 'Ok' and 'Cancel' button are both present on the window, but pressing 'Ok' will have no effect, while pressing 'Cancel' will close the window, without saving my preferences, of course. Has anyone already run into the same issue ?
    By the way, I already tried to uninstall and reinstall the JDK and the WTK...
    Thanks in advance for any answers or advice!

  • I can't save the setting for dowloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It restores to default when I close Forefox.

    I can't save the setting for downloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It works once but it restores to default next time I open Firefox.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
    In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.
    You are in Private Browsing mode if you see "Tools > Stop Private Browsing".
