"Cannot open default user face" - KDE 4

After the upgrade to KDE 4, I notice this msg in errors.log and other logs:
"kdm_greet[3456]: Cannot open default user face".
Has anyone else seen this and know what may cause it? A search on the net shows that this error is supposed to be fixed in KDE 4.<something>, yet it appears here.
I also see this in kdm.log:
"kdmgreet(3455) KLocalePrivate::initEncoding: Cannot resolve system encoding, defaulting to ISO 8859-1.
The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports:
> Warning:          Type "ONE_LEVEL" has 1 levels, but <RALT> has 2 symbols
>                   Ignoring extra symbols
Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server"
I have a Radeon video card.
I wonder if any of these errors may be connected.

Don't worry about 'default user face', it's nothing... you can set it in:
SystemSettings -> Advanced -> Login Manager -> Users
under 'User Images' [ bottom-right ].
I expect when installing you elected to install dhcp [ Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol ] when configuring the network ?
Dhcpcd is its' daemon. You could uninstall dhcp... pacman -R dhcp
I presume you have onboard ethernet and a pci network card ?
Could you disable your onboard ethernet in the systems BIOS ? Then you can concentrate on configuring your card. I've
never used 'wicd' so I can't help you there.
Not much help, I know but better than nothing

    i would like to solve this "errors" or rather strip off this dhcpcd thingy (in a config file) which is obviously started at boot. the network is completely managed by wicd.
    i have no clue what "cannot open default user face" means. already googled without any good results :<

  • When I open Remote Desktop Connection, it reads "cannot open default.rdp".  What can I do to fix this?

    Hi, when I open RDP on my iMac, it reads "cannot open default.rdp" and it never saves my preferences or connections.  It resets after each launch. 
    How do I go about fixing this?
    UPDATE and FIX
    I went to the Finder menu, clicked on GO, held down Option (Alt) to bring up the Library.
    In the Library, I browsed to Preferences, found the com.microsoft.rdp plist and deleted it. Then I emptied my Trash.  If you get an error saying rdp plist is in use and cannot be deleted, quit out of RDP or reboot the machine (if quitting RDP doesn't work).
    Also, there was a permissions issue.  I browsed to the Applications folder, located the Microsoft Office folder, right clicked the folder (or CTRL click) and selected GET INFO.  First--In order to make any changes, authenticate with admin privileges using the lock icon (put in your username and password). From there (under Sharing & Permissions), I made sure my username (account currently logged in) and everyone had Read & Write privileges, then I clicked on the little gear icon (drop-down) and selected Apply to Enclosed items.
    Voila! 
    This worked for me.

    Actually, I still receive an error when I try to save the connections.
    I get an error that reads
    "Make sure that you have permission to write to the location where you want to save the file"
    Any help with this would be great!
    ah, RDP on a mac

  • Exchange 2013 Issue - Cannot open default email folders. you must connect to microsoft exchange

    Hello all, this is my first post and nightmare to this issue because i believe i made mistake and overlook something. I search over the internet i cant find the best answer or maybe i missed something during the configurations. The exchange was working fine
    not after i change the setting following the method
    Configure External and Internal URL in Exchange 2012. after that, the users outlook experiencing disconnect from exchange. I restore back the previous setting but now I cant add any new user to the any Outlook version or change the server path. it will
    cause the problem which show the message below:
    "Can't open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folder with your offline folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)"
    I restarted the server and check all the Exchange services are running. The Outlook web is running and they able to receive and send out. The existing link to the exchange are still working so I not really sure what setting should i look into. I was thinking
    about restoring back from Window Server Backup but was advise not to do it unless there are ways to look back the previous setting from the backup.
    One of my ex-boss told me could be the Exchange Certificate but wasn't sure.
    I really appreciate someone could advice and help me resolved this issue.

  • Open Default User Folder

    Hi
    I have created a Folder named UserDocs to which everyone has read access.
    Under that Folder i have created UserA and UserB Folders.
    Only UserA has access to userA Folder.
    Only UserB has access to userB Folder.
    Now i am using KM Navigation iview to show the documents in these folders to UserA and UserB.
    When UserA accesses the iView he can see the Folder userA
    When UserB accesses the iView he can see the Folder userB
    As Users dont want to open their Folders and then see the documents,what i need is
    when UserA access the iView he should directly see the Documents inside the
    userA Folder.
    when UserB access the iView he should directly see the Documents inside the
    userB Folder.
    Can we have a setting by which the Folder can be opened by default ?
    Regards
    Rajendra

    Hello Rajendra,
    The requirement you have mentioned is possible and I tried it out myself
    I have the following folder hirarchy under KM
    root/documents/Users Documents/
    Under the Users Documents folder I have directories with the user name so if a user is ronald then the directory is named ronald.
    After that I created a KM navigation iview with the following as the dir path  - /alias/documents/User Documents/<user.id>/ and it works.
    Thanks,
    GLM

  • Installing arch under virtualbox - cannot open default display & stuff

    hi!
    this is not my first time I try to install arch under virtualbox, and the results I get are the same.
    Installation was pretty obvious: installed arch, added user to lp,wheel,games,video,audio,optical,storage,scanner,power,users groups, installed xorg (all group), installed virtualbox-guest-utils, added vboxvideo vboxsf and vboxguest to /etc/modules-load.d/virtualbox.conf. Also installed mesa and xf86-video-vesa.
    Then I edited .xinitrc and added there /usr/bin/VboxClient-all line.
    In result, when I try to launch X by typing startx, desktop changes resolution to a bigger one, then blank screen and the resolution changes back to previous, displaying the following:
    If I try to launch any de (like bspwm or xfce4) I het a message saying "Can't open the default display".
    The weirdest part is that if i change user to root, I can startx and the ugly twm will start, but if I try to launch de, I get the same error message.
    Now, what have I missed during the installation which in result gives me what I get?
    Thank you.

    Trilby wrote:Please post your actual .xinitrc.  The output in your screenshots indicates that X exited normally, without error.  In other words, nothing went wrong, it did what it was told to do, you just likely have not told it to do what you want.
    good thing is that i actually installed xfce4 and uncommented the corresponding line in the .xinitrc and the xfce4 launced successfully. Maybe I was frustrated because under root I got something, and under user - failures.
    The bad thing is that when I want now to launch bspwm with the following .xinitrc
    I get a completely black screen with no response

    Did you check if the Firefox file is in that location?
    If it isn't there then do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
    If the file is there then do a malware check with some malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database before doing a scan.<br />

  • Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)

    Fresh installation of Exchange Server 2013 on Windows Server 2012.
    Our first test account cannot access their email via Outlook but can access fine through OWA. The following message appears - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. You must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current profile before you can synchronize
    your folders with your Outlook data file (.ost)" is displayed.
    If I turn off cached Exchange mode, setting the email account to not
    cache does not resolve the issue and i get a new error message - "Cannot open your default e-mail folders. The file (path\profile name).ost is not an Outlook data file (.ost). Very odd since it creates its own .ost file when you run it for the first
    time.
    I cleared the appdata local Outlook folder and I tested on a new laptop that has never connected to Outlook, same error message on any system.
    Microsoft Exchange RPC Client Access service is running.
    No warning, error or critical messages in the eventlog, it's like the healthiest server alive.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I haven't encountered this issue with previous versions of Exchange.

    So it looks like a lot of people are having this issue and seeing how Exchange 2013 is still new (relatively to the world) there isn't much data around to answer this. I've spend ALOT of time trying to figure this out.
    Here is the answer. :) - No I don't know all but I'm going to try to give you the most reasonable answer to this issue, in a most logical way.
    First thing I did when I was troubleshooting this issue is that I ignored Martina Miskovic's suggestion for Step4 http://technet.microsoft.com/library/jj218640(EXCHG.150)because it didn't make sense to me because I was trying to connect
    Outlook not outside the LAN but actually inside. However, Martina's suggestion does fix the issue if it's applied in the correct context.
    This is where the plot thickens (it's stew). She failed to mention that things like SSL (which I configure practically useless - anyone who ever worked in a business environment where the owner pretty much trusts anyone in the company, otherwise they don't
    work there - very good business practice in my eyes btw, can confirm that...) are some sort of fetish with Microsoft lately. Exchange 2013 was no exception.
    In exchange 2003, exchange 2007 and exchange 2010 - you could install it and then go to outlook and set it up. And when outlook manual Microsoft Exchange profile would ask you for server name, you would give it and give the name of the person who you setting
    up - as long as machine is on the domain, not much more is needed. IT JUST WORKS! :) What a concept, if the person already on premises of the business - GIVE HIM ACCESS. I guess that was too logical for Microsoft. Now if you're off premises you can use things
    like OutlookAnywhere - which I might add had their place under that scenario.
    In Exchange 2013, the world changed. Ofcourse Microsoft doesn't feel like telling it in a plain english to people - I'm sure there is an article somewhere but I didn't find it. Exchange 2013 does not support direct configuration of Outlook like all of it's
    previous versions. Did you jaw drop? Mine did when I realized it. So now when you are asked for your server name in manual outlook set up and you give it Exchange2013.yourdomain.local - it says cannot connect to it. This happens because ALL - INTERNAL AND
    EXTERNAL connection are now handled via OutlookAnywhere. You can't even disable that feature and have it function the reasonable way.
    So now the question still remains - how do you configure outlook. Well under server properties there is this nice section called Outlook anywhere. You have a chance to configure it's External and Internal address. This is another thing that should be logical
    but it didn't work that way for me. When I configured the external address different from the internal - it didn't work. So I strongly suggest you get it working with the same internal address first and then ponder how you want to make it work for the outside
    users.
    Now that you have this set up you have to go to virtual directories and configure the external and internal address there - this is actually what the Step 4 that Martina was refering to has you do.
    Both external and internal address are now the same and you think you can configure your outlook manually - think again. One of the most lovely features of Outlook Anywhere, and the reason why I had never used it in the past is that it requires a TRUSTED
    certificate.
    See so it's not that exchange 2013 requires a trusted certificate - it's that exchange 2013 lacks the feature that was there since Windows 2000 and Exchange 5.5.
    So it's time for you to install an Active Direction Certificate Authority. Refer to this wonderful article for exact steps - http://careexchange.in/how-to-install-certificate-authority-on-windows-server-2012/
    Now even after you do that - it won't work because you have to add the base private key certificate, which you can download now from your internal certsrv site, to Default Domain Policy (AND yes some people claim NEVER mess with the Default Domain Policy,
    always make an addition one... it's up to you - I don't see direct harm if you know what you want to accomplish) see this: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc738131%28v=ws.10%29.aspx if you want to know exact steps.
    This is the moment of ZEN! :) Do you feel the excitement? After all it is your first time. Before we get too excited lets first request and then install the certificate to actual Exchange via the gui and assign it to all the services you can (IIS, SMTP and
    there is a 3rd - I forgot, but you get the idea).
    Now go to your client machine where you have the outlook open, browse to your exchange server via https://exchang2013/ in IE and if you don't get any certificate errors - it's good. If you do run on hte client and the server: gpupdate /force This will refresh
    the policy. Don't try to manually install the certificate from Exchange's website on the client. If you wanna do something manually to it to the base certificate from the private key but if you added it to the domain policy you shouldn't have to do it.
    Basically the idea is to make sure you have CA and that CA allows you to browse to exchange and you get no cert error and you can look at the cert and see that's from a domain CA.
    NOW, you can configure your outlook. EASY grasshoppa - not the manual way. WHY? Cause the automatic way will now work. :) Let it discover that exachange and populate it all - and tell you I'm happy! :)
    Open Outlook - BOOM! It works... Was it as good for you as it was for me?
    You may ask, why can't I just configure it by manual - you CAN. It's just a nightmare. Go ahead and open the settings of the account that got auto configed... How do you like that server name? It should read something like [email protected]
    and if you go to advanced and then connection tab - you'll see Outlook Anywhere is checked as well. Look at the settings - there is the name of the server, FQDN I might add. It's there in 2 places and one has that Mtdd-something:Exchange2013.yourdomain.local.
    So what is that GUID in the server name and where does it come from. It's the identity of the user's mailbox so for every user that setting will be different but you can figure it out via the console on the Exchange server itself - if you wish.
    Also a note, if your SSL certs have any trouble - it will just act like outlook can't connect to the exchange server even though it just declines the connection cause the cert/cert authority is not trusted.
    So in short Outlook Anywhere is EVERYWHERE! And it has barely any gui or config and you just supposed to magically know that kind of generic error messages mean what... Server names are now GUIDs of the [email protected] - THAT MAKES PERFECT
    SENSE MICROSOFT! ...and you have to manage certs... and the only place where you gonna find the name of the server is inside the d*** Outlook Anywhere settings in the config tab, un it's own config button - CAN WE PUT THE CONFIG ANY FURTHER!
    Frustrating beyond reason - that should be Exchange's new slogan...
    Hope this will help people in the future and won't get delete because it's bad PR for Microsoft.
    PS
    ALSO if you want to pick a fight with me about how SSL is more secure... I don't wanna hear it - go somewhere else...

  • 3.6.13 OS MAC 10.6.6 - cannot open url within Mail with Firefox as default browser

    new iMac (March '10) - no problem til last week - as above - when
    Firefox is my default browser cannot open url's form within Mail.
    OK when I change over to Safari - but going back to Firefox same issue.
    Firefox browser opens but the page does not load....
    any suggestions?

    I have the same issue. One interesting piece of info is if you quit FireFox (go to dock > right click on firefox icon > quit) Mail will then launch the link into FireFox properly. Somehow though users actions must cause it to fail again. My wife uses our iMac more than I do for email, so I haven't been able to re-create what she is doing to lose the Mail > Firefox functionality. Almost sounds like an OS X bug??
