Dhcpcd changes hostnames: renders X unable to open ANY programs...

At a random point after logging into my computer, dhcpcd (even after being disabled and stopped on login) kills and restarts my wifi. When this happens, X no longer allows me to open ANY GUI-based programs and I have to log out or reboot in order to correct the problem. I need a solid solution to this problem and disabling dhcpcd (plus blacklisting) seems to be the only idea I can come up with. NO on seems to be discussing this specific problem around the forums and narrowing it down to dhcpcd was a REAL pain via Google because it seems to affect people VERY randomly. I need a permenant solution because this issue makes it VERY difficult for me to get work done as I need to open and close programs fairly often on a daily basis. It has just about grinded my progress for today to a halt, which is why I'm here making this post now. ANY help on stablizing this issue will be GREATLY appreciated. It's really making my life difficult. Thanks in advance.

I am using dynamic addresses. I use networkmanager. I either use E18 or Fluxbox for my desktop (has happened on both... and on multiple computers). I only use networkmanager to deal with my network connections. I have not ran wicd in quite some time (never on the machines in question) or any other software anytime recently. I'm never sure what all information I should give when I open up help requests on here... no matter what I provide, there's always something I will forget or not think of. SO feel free to ask more questions so I can narrow down the core cause of this issue. The research I have done on the symptoms I'm expriencing have lead me to believe that it's a hostname issue that comes when dhcpcd disconnects and reconnects me. The hostname is changed, which renders X unable to open any gui interfaces because it's trying to load them on a hostname that is no longer valid. I have not found any info explaining WHY dhcpcd does this, but all the symptoms fit. I will look for the links I found said information on and see if I can provide them sometime soon. Luckily, this is a random thing, and hasn't made work difficult for me so far today, so I need to catch up on things that didn't get finished yesterday. Thanks for all the help (current and future) with this issue.

    When ever i try to open any program it goes to short dump.

  • I am unable to open any programs on my iPad

    I am unable to open any programs on my iPad, although it is running the most recent update.  Every program or app that I try to open leads to a blank screen and a return to the main page.  The battery is charged and everything is updated, and I have no idea what to do next.

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If only your downloaded apps will not launch - download another app - any free app will work.

  • Adobe x unable to open any pdf, or change properties

    Just had an update to Adobe reader x and now I am unable to open any pdf email attachments, any saved older pdfs on local or network drive.  Followed a thread on here from last fall, and attempted to open the properties of the reader, but this caused a run-time error and crashed the program completely.  Update of the program was difficult, as I could not get the adobe website to work with MS IE.  and ended up loading Firefox to get the download.
    System is Windows XP professional, SP3, 2gb RAM, and working flawlessly prior to the update.
    any current ideas of repair or patch without rolling back or going to alternate pdf readers?

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...

  • I am unable to open any form. Any form/file I open states "not responding" This is adobe reader.

    I am unable to open any form. Any form/file I open states "not responding" This is adobe reader.

    Online and downloaded to my computer. There is no difference.
    browser is google but I also tried internet exployer...thats not the problem...your program is
    i just downloaded the most recent version..10.1...or whatever it is.
    i found this online:...how do I find the Adobe Readers X's 3d and multimedia settings...what tab do I click on..
    1) khwajakhurram I have tried your suggestion to uncheck the default "Enable hardware rendering for legacy video cards" setting and it seems to work!
    What is surprising is that Adobe Reader X's 3D & Multimedia settings report that the alternative preferred renderer modes are either software or DirectX9 .....on a Vista machine with DirectX11.
    The video card on this machine is definitely not legacy but a recent quality Nvidia produced card. That is also the case on the other machines with the issue I have reported.
    2) http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86063.html mentions that "certain configurations of anti-virus software that have not yet white-listed AcroRd32.exe" are "Unsupported configurations for Reader running in Protected Mode". Therefore I have also excluded AcroRd32.exe from virus scanning.
    I am now able to use both Protected Mode and Advanced Security without issue.
    I will experiment with various versions of this in the next few days and see whether both or just one of these remedies are needed.
    Update: I have found that performance is vastly improved by changing from the default preferred renderer mode of DirectX9 to the alternative Software setting.

  • Unable To Open Any Files In Photoshop CC

    Hi All,
    I am unable to open any file formats in my trial version of Photoshop CC. This problem seems to occur daily and the only way to resolve it is by restarting my laptop?
    File formats I am trying to open include a new PSD file, old PSD files and also jpg files, png files and pdf files.
    I am using an HP ProBook laptop but not sure of the model number.
    Any help to prevent this from happening would be greatly appreciated and if anyone needs anymore information don't hesitate to ask me?
    Thanks

    Allyson,
    Another welcome here.
    Along with the answers to Trevor's questions, how are you attempting to Open those Image files, i.e. Dbl-clicking on them in Windows Explorer, or from the File>Open menu in the Toolbar? If you are using the former, please try the latter. If you want to work from Windows Explorer, Rt-click on the file, and choose Open With, then Photoshop.
    Your comment about WMP being the default viewing program, seems to indicate that your File Associations have been changed, with WMP now set as the target program. If this is the case, then you will likely want to go to Folder Options (check for your specific version of Windows), and reset the File Associations for, say PSD, PSB, JPEG, etc., to point to Ps.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

    Hi.  My new computer had Acrobat on it.  Suddenly, I was unable to open any PDF's.  and then I tried to update and was forwarded to the Adobe site that said I had to buy a monthly subscription.  I do not have the physical box with a serial number and was going to buy the one advertised on the website until I discovered it's only for students and teachers, which I am not.  What should I do next as I need to use PDFs on a daily basis.  Thanks!  I would like to be able to download this and pay online.  Possible? I currently have Adobe Acrobat XI Pro.  I have a Windows 7 system.  Please help!

  • Unable to open any books in iBooks after 7 download

    Unable to open any books from iBooks app after downloading new 7

    Hi, Cargei. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would first start with closing all applications in multitasking and power cycling the device.  Test opening a downloaded book in iBooks
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If the issue persists, try downloading a free iBook and test to see if it opens.

  • Unable to open any applications in administrator account

    My OS is 10.6.2. Just tonight, I was unable to open any applications in my administrator account (Safari, iCal, iTunes, calculator, system preferences, etc.). In other words, I can't do anything while logged into my administrator account. However, everything works fine if I log into the guest account. Any suggestions? I have restarted my computer and that did not help.

    What happens when you try to launch applications? Do you see error messages?
    Check the behavior in Safe Mode by restarting the computer with the Shift key held down. Booting will take a while longer--this is normal, so just be patient.

  • Unable to Open any Models in the VC storyboard

    Hi,
    I am unable to open any models in the Visual Composer Storyboards. The moment I login to VC, I get the standard IE error and the window closes.
    Has any one come accross this issue before?
    -Ashwini.

    Hi Ashwini,
    I think this is not an VC error. I used Google and found:
    <a href="http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B293623&x=5&y=12">http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B293623&x=5&y=12</a>
    I think there is problem with your IE Installation. Can you check this issue with another machine?

  • Unable to open any PDF document in Windream using Adobe Reader (11.0.9)

    Our company uses a document management system for storing and archiving important documents. Since updating to the latest version of Adobe Reader (11.0.9) last week, we are unable to open any PDF document using Adobe Reader. An AcroRd32.exe*32 process is launched, but the document will not open or display. Eventually we suffer a system crash. Opening any other PDF document (not stored in the archive management system) using Adobe Reader is fine. Documents can also be opened in the archive management system using Adobe Acrobat.

    Try disabling Protected Mode (see Pat's response here: Anyone having problems with the Acrobat Reader 11.0.9 update on Win7 X64?) and see if that helps...
