DE doesn't open properly

I've installed cinnamon and gdm and enabled the gdm service.
Now when I logon I get a stripey blue background and the login screen comes up.
However once I login it just leaves me with the stripey blue background and a black cursor?

Did you follow the instructions here? Can you start Cinnamon without using GDM?

You login and then you see the login screen? I don't understand.

What happens after you see the black cursor?
Also, that's not a question?

  • Filemaker exported Excel doesn't open properly

    I've got a Filemaker database that I "Export Records" or "Save Send Records As" data in Excel format. When i open the file in Excel it is all correct, but when I open the xls file in Numbers 2.0.3 it doesn't open properly. You can see the discrepancies in these 2 screenshots.
    First the Excel file , beside it is the Numbers rendering of the same file. You can see around A:16 it goes off, again at A:25 and then some repeating at the end to fill up the row. Column B however is correct in Numbers.
    !http://rdiv.com/screenshots/FilemakerExportExcel.png! !http://rdiv.com/screenshots/FilemakerExportNumbers.png!
    The strange thing is if I save the Excel file then it opens in Numbers correctly. If I export as CSV it opens in Numbers correctly.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    jim

    Thinking it's a FMPro issue (I have posted this in the bugs forum at FM.com) I've repeated this experiment with the data records sorted differently (to see if it's any particular record that is the problem). The export still is wrong when opened in Numbers, the mistakes appear to be in the same rows, i.e., row 16, row25, etc.,

  • Facebook app on iPad doesn't open properly, it opens , then doesn't go to the loggin page, it just closes again without displaying anything

    Facebook app on iPad doesn't open properly, it opens , then doesn't go to the loggin page, it just closes again without displaying anything, how do I fix this ?

    This worked for me... A little time consuming but once you get rolling it goes GREAT... Thanks....
    I got my artwork and saved it to my Desktop
    Opened up Microsoft Paint and clicked on "File" and "Open" and found it to get it on the screen to resize it
    Clicked "resize" and a box for changing it opened up
    Checked the box "Pixels" and "Unchecked maintain aspect ratio"
    Set Horizontal for 640 and Vertical for 480
    Clicked on "OK" and went back to "File" and did a "Save As" and chose JPEG Picture
    It came up "File Already Existed" and clicked "OK" (really did not care about the original artwork I found because wrong size)
    Went to iTunes and on the movie right clicked on "Get Info", clicked on "Details", then "Artwork"
    Go to the little box on the top left that shows your old artwork and click on it to get the little blue border to appear around it and hit "Delete" to make it gone
    Click on "Add Artwork" and find it where you put the one from above on your Desktop and hit "Open" and OK and your new artwork is now there and all good.
    Sounds like a lot of steps to follow but after around 5 or so you will fly through it. This worked perfect on my iPhone 6 Plus and I have artwork on my Home Videos now.

  • HT1338 safari doesn't open properly

    Since I set up a new wifi (AT&T Uverse), I have been having difficulty opening Safari properly.
    If the home page opens, images are oten not available.  And when I search keyword on google, a list of results appear, but when I click one of those results, it doesn't open even.  "Safari can't open this page."  I follow all of the instructions suggested in the trouble shooting tips, which sometime help to solve the issues and sometime doesn't.  Is there any setting I should change in Preference?  Emails seem to work fine.

    I see the 'topbar' opening but no actual screen opens
    Make sure Safari is in the list in System Preferences > Accounts - Login Items
    If it's there and you are only seeing the "topbar" when Safari opens, could be a third party Safari add on that's preventing Safari from loading the GUI and pages.

  • Safari doesn't open properly at startup

    Hi everybody,
    I've been browsing the forum a bit, but didn't find an answer to my question. Here it goes:
    I have Safari added in my dock, and I marked it as 'open after login'. The same for Mail. When my mac has started up my Mail indeed opens, but Safari doesn't. To be more concrete, I see the 'topbar' opening but no actual screen opens. Mail however works perfectly.
    Maybe this is a very small setting or such, but I can't seem to find it.
    Could someone please help me with this one?
    Thanks!

  • IWeb doesn't open properly / fully

    I was dragging a podcast from one site to another in iWeb when this problem started. It froze, so I did a force quit. Ever since, I cannot fully open iWeb. The program will display the command bar along the top, but the sites do not appear, and I cannot open or create anything. Any ideas?

    In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    To open your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
    do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
    tell application "iWeb" to activate
    You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
    Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
    WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder.  So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

  • Reader doesn't open properly in Safari

    When I click on the Reader icon, or open Reader with the keyboard, it scrolls beyond the top of the Reader page.  I have to page up to get to the top to begin reading.  Is there a way of adjusting how Reader opens?

    You may need to delete the cache.db associated with Safari.
    Quit Safari.
    Go to   YourUserAccount/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. Try the Reading List icon.

  • Flash Player won't open properly?

    I seem to have flash player but I don't know why it doesn't open properly. I want to create .swf files with it? What can I do?

    Flash Player can only play Flash content, not create SWF files.  You will need Flash Builder or Flash Professional for that.

  • IDVD not opening properly

    Each time i try to open iDVD after i recently updated all my software, it doesn't open properly and when i right-click on the icon, it says Application no responding and I have to force quit.
    How to I fix this problem?

    Which steps at troubleshooting have you already taken?
    Assuming you have at least 20 GB's of hard drive space on the boot volume for iDvd to work with, have you tried launching iDvd from a separate user account? If not, make a new user account and attempt to launch iDvd.
    Assuming you have launched iDvd at least once; have you tried disposing of the plist for iDvd followed by a complete Restart of your mac? Go to your username > library > preferences > com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file OR drag it to the desktop (your choice). Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new set of preferences with all of the correct / default settings.
    com.apple.iDvd.plist
    Make sure to close iDvd prior to disposing of the preference file. Also keep in mind you will not find a plist if the app has never been launched previously).

    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..

  • What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

    QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
    AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
    To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
    Reinstall the Driver
    Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
    Power Cycle
    Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
    Ensure the laptop is turned off.
    Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
    Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
    Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
    Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
    Reattach the battery if removed.
    Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
    Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
    Start the computer and test the drive
    Microsoft Fix-it
    Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
    Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
    Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
    The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
    The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
    You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
    If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
    System Restore
    Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    System Recovery
    If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
    For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
    How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
    Contact Customer Support
    If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

    See this Microsoft article - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060/en-us  For ways to fix manually

  • Help!  I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8 my iphoto is having problems.  It will not open properly.  All I get is the little wheel going around and around.  My iphoto is iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52)  What should I do to make it work properly?

    Help!   I have an iMac 24" OSX version 10.6.8.  My iphoto is having problems.  It will not open properly.  All I get is the little wheel going around and around.  My iphoto is:  iphoto'11 version 9.2.3(629.52).  What do I need to do to remedy this?  I recently installed InstallMac.  I don't want this on my computer.  I don't know how to get it off.  I'm afraid that is what scrogged my iphoto.  Can anyone tell me how to correct this situation?

    Re: iPhoto:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
