Do I need to reinstall desktop environment for each user?

Hello,
I have installed xwindows and the i3 desktop environment on my root account by mistake.  I created a user account and logged into it, but I could not start a xwindows because it wasn't installed on that account.  Do I need to reinstall everything on the new user or is there a way to copy everything over?
Thanks

What I am still wondering is if using xorg wrap is a hack as opposed to some "cleaner" systemd solution.
Well, simply not using Xwrapper.config, then Xorg will handle this on it's own (see man page extract below). I don't think Openbox has problems with this, so I think the problems you had would have to be looked at separately. But maybe better on their own topic...
'man Xorg.wrap'
By default Xorg.wrap will autodetect if root rights are necessary, and if
not it will drop its elevated rights before starting the real X server. By
default Xorg.wrap will only allow executing the real X server from login
sessions on a physical console.
When auto-detecting the wrapper will drop rights if kms graphics are avail‐
able and not drop them if no kms graphics are detected. If a system has
multiple graphics cards and some are not kms capable auto-detection may
fail, in this case manual configuration should be used.
You're a bit late on that one

  • Macbook:  How do I uninstall a game on the macbook?  I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.

    I need to reinstall the game for it to work, but I can't figure out how to uninstall the game to begin with.  I know that in Windows, there is an "Uninstall" option, but I have found no such option on the Macbook.

    This is one OS X's few weak spots. For most software, it is sufficient to drag the application out of the Applications folder and into the trash.  Of course, this does not delete its preference files, etc, but these are usually pretty small, and can either be left in place or deleted separately.
    Some software might ship with a separate uninstaller utility that you can run.  Sometimes, the package installer can also perform uninstalling, too. 
    You can buy general purpose uninstaller utilities, but as far as I know they won't work for software already installed; only for software installed once the uninstaller is in place.
    Perhaps the safest option is to contact the company that made the game and ask them how it should be uninstalled.

    Mission critical
    If your using Mac's in a mission critical type environment or have third party hardware or software you must rely upon working correctly. It's advised to wait until all the bugs, driver updates, third party software and other issues are resolved before upgrading. This might take several months. Then if you do so, do one machine at a time andcarefully test everything before full deployment.

    You can not login into iTunes or the App Store using VPP credentials. You must purchase all apps/book/etc.  from the VPP website. Then you can redeem the codes thru itunes/app store or import the codes thru apple configurator. Here is the url for the VPP website: https://volume.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/login?cc=us
    (It will not affect any of the apps you already have but the id can only be used for VPP.)

  • Do we need to create Storage Bins for each Client?

    Hi,
    I have defined the storage bin structure etc which I could transport.
    But does the creation of bins (using LS01N) need to be done separately for each client? If on the test client we dont have access to Create Bins then what is the right approach to get it done.
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I tried using LS05.
    What entries should I make?
    I entered Warehouse and Storage Type
    The Default Session was showing as RLLS0500 and I left it as it is.
    But I am getting Error message "Check you entry for manual storage bin creation".
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

  • Do we need separate Unattended service account for each SharePoint Server 2013 BI service applications?

    SharePoint 2013 - I'm planning to use 'unattended service account' method of Secure Store Service - for Excel, Performance Point and Visio services. I'm about to create Active directory accounts for them.
    Question: Do we need separate Active directory accounts for each service
    DomainName\ExcelUnattendedAccount
    DomainName\PPSUnattendedAccount
    DomainName\VisioUnattendedAccount
    (or)
    Can I have just one Active Directory account DomainName\SharePointUnattendedAccount ?
    Are there any drawbacks having a single account? Any best practice around this? For all the three services the data sources are going to be the same. 
    Subash.S

    Security is the only reason you would separate accounts (as these accounts must have access to the source data). There should be no other drawbacks.

  • Do I need to download Lion seperately for each mac in my house?

    Do I need to download Lion seperately for each mac in my house? Which would also result in paying for it multiple times, or is there some way to install on multiple macs with one download?

    No. You can install Lion on all the computers you personally own. Just be sure each is running Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later. Open the App Store on each computer and log in using the Apple ID you used to purchase Lion. Click on Purchases. Click on the Install button to the right of the entry for your Lion purchase. The installer will be re-downloaded.
    You may want to read the following first:
    Make Your Own Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that  you can use without having to re-download Lion.

  • I want to get desktop path for client user using webutil

    oracle database 11g
    oracle forms 10 g
    client windows
    i want to get desktop path for client user using webutil
    as i want to save file in this path

    To get the user's path to their Desktop is a two step process.  First, you have to echo the %USERPROFILE% to a output file and secondly, read the directory from the output file in to Forms.  The code would look similar to the following:
    /* When-Button-Pressed trigger */
    DECLARE
      v_temp_path VARCHAR2(250);
      v_temp_file VARCHAR2(12) := 'webutil.log';
      f_file Client_Text_IO.File_Type;
    BEGIN
      Client_Host('cmd /c echo %USERPROFILE%\Desktop > c:\'||v_temp_file);
      f_file := Client_Text_Io.FOpen('c:\'||v_temp_file, 'R');
    Client_Text_Io.Get_Line(f_file,v_temp_path);
    Client_Text_Io.FClose(f_file);
       b_dummy := WebUtil_File.Delete_File('C:\'||v_temp_file);
      --At this point, you have the path stored in the v_temp_path variable.
      --You can assign this variable to a block item or reference it directly in your code.
    END;
    When you reference the value of the v_temp_path, don't forget to wrap the value in double-quotes (" ") becuase the path will have spaces.  Since your plan is to write a file to the user's desktop, your call to FOPEN will look  like this:
    f_file := Client_Text_Io.FOpen('"'||v_temp_file||'"','W');
    Hope this helps,
    Craig...
