Emerald does not start at login (Gnome)

Hi, I've just installed Arch Linux and added Gnome. I installed compiz-fusion and Emerald, and added these two entries in the Session startup programs:
fusion-icon
emerald --replace
The fusion icon works fine but emerald does not start. I have to enter emerald --replace in a terminal for it to launch. After I do it, everything just works fine. What am I doing wrong...

bluePoet wrote:Hi, I had the same problem. For me changing "windowmanager" from "metacity" to "compiz" in gconf solved it. You find the relevant entry under desktop -> gnome -> session -> required_components
I was having the same problem and this solution works fine. Is this a bug with fusion-icon, or with gnome?

[SOLVED] (gnome) NetworkManager does not start on login

Hello!
Like the title says, the NetworkManager utility does not start with gnome on login. Every time I log in I have to start it manually by going into the terminal and running su, then running NetworkManager. I have googled and searched in the wiki, but did not find a good answer. Some threads talk about doing something with the gnome-session but it did not work for me.
So, which conf file do I need to edit to have it start on startup?
I hope I provided enough information.
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Yes, and yes. The network-manager-applet is installed (v 0.8.2-2) and my rc.conf looks like this:

You have to deactivate network daemon and add network manager instead, somethig like this:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus !network networkmanager netfs crond gdm)
Read the wiki as RaisedFist said.
Thanks! This solved it.

Panel does not start automatically in Gnome 2.24.3

Since Gnome 2.24.3, the Gnome Panel does not start automatically.
I had to manualy add it to the startup group via "Sessions" in order to force it to start when login finishes.
Does anybody has the same behavior?
Should I report it as a bug?

That may be true but it is a real pain since when it happens the only way to recover is to terminate all of the iTunes modules with task manager and start it manually. It also leaves the IPOD in a state that says do not disconnect. You can disconnect since nothing is really happening but there is no excuse for this not to start much faster. When you have multiple users it is a real pain. It ought to be able to either end when finished or better yet allow multiple users simultaneously updating from different libraries.
I guess i will just have to get in the habit of treating it as a single user and start and stop it every time I need it and be suer not to let it run. Not nice because that means waiting for larger Podcast downloads instead of having there ready for me when I sign on my computer.

[SOLVED] PulseAudio does not start at login

I am not sure what happened to my config, but pulseaudio no longer starts at login under Gnome. Attempting to start from a terminal using
$ pulseaudio --start
fails with:
N: [pulseaudio] main.c: User-configured server at localhost, refusing to start/autospawn.
I followed the instructions on the PulseAudio ArchWiki page under "Daemon startup failed" without success. Interestingly, pulseaudio will work with
$ pulseaudio -D
I pasted the output from
$ pulseaudio -vvvv
here -> http://pastebin.com/zJYvY1FS
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to myself:
Just recalled that I had recently set PULSE_SERVER = localhost in /etc/environment. Removed that and everything is working again.
This thread helped me figure it out.

It looks like you are getting this error when trying to use the RequestDispatcher. There are two different flavors of the RequestDispatcher :ServletRequest.getRequestDispatcher that will take a relative path and ServletContext.getRequestDispatcher that will only take absolute paths (ie start with a '/').
If yoy are trying the use the second version of RequestDispatcher you'll need to adjust the path to an absolute path.

ESD does not start at bootup

The situation is this
Untill now I used the system by console and started X when I needed it and esd just before X.
Now I decided to switch to run level 5 so I need to start esd at bootup otherwise it is not able to lock /dev/dsp.
But at bootup it doeas not find /dev/dsp !!! (my sound card is installed and work propelly)
So I gott back to level 3 with esd at boot up, It still not find /dev/dsp but if I login (I am in console mode ) and I manually start it
/etc/rc.d/esd start
everithing get fine.....
Any suggestion?

may be my post was not so clear.
I do not have problem at all in starting in run level 3 or 5 either.
So lets try again
Normally I start my computer in rl 3
When I need to work with X at first I start esd then X, otherwise if the desktop (gnome, kde etc etc.) goes up it lock /dev/dsp and esd is not able to start
I decided to move to RL 5 so I have to start esd at bootup to avoid the above problem.
I put esd in rc.conf but it complain about that /dev/dsp is not present.
So I got back to RL 3 (may it help) but esd still does not start at bootup with the same error.
Suggestion??
P.S. for farphel
I took a look at your post, the correct way to start gdm is to change init tab as follow
# /etc/inittab
# Runlevels:
# 0 Halt
# 1(S) Single-user
# 2 Not used
# 3 Multi-user
# 4 Not used
# 5 X11
# 6 Reboot
# original run level is 3 text mode
#id:3:initdefault:
# change it to 5
id:5:initdefault:
rc::sysinit:/etc/rc.sysinit

#what to do in run level 5????
#xdm is the default login manager, personally I prefer gdm
#x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon
# I am not sure about -noademon for gdm but anyway does not cause problem
x:5:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/gdm -nodaemon

My jcontrol does not start

Hi,
When i logged into Visutal Administrator, It asked me to change the password. I had Changed the administrator password there and the same updated in the secure store as follows:
1. Start the Config Tool by executing the /usr/sap/<SID>/<Instance name>/j2ee/configtool/configtool script file.
2. Select secure store.
3. Select the admin/password/<SID> entry.
4. Enter the J2EE Engine administrator user new password in the Value field and choose Add.
5. Choose File -> Apply to save the data.
6. Restart the J2EE Engine
but after this, my server is not starting and jcontrol does not start.
find the log file of jcontrol:

Opmn service does not start when try to start Oracle BI Services

Hi ,
I was able to install OBIEE 11g on my laptop and it worked fine for two days. Today when I try to login to rpd and type my user name and password I get the error that my user name and password is not correct. I tried to restart the machine and now I am not able to start opmn service.
When I do Start>Oracle Business Intelligence (1)>Start BI Services, the script run and two command line windows open and about 10 minutes later get the last line that server started in RUNNING mode, but some how Oracle Process Manager (instance) service does not start. It started two days ago when I was able to login to OBIEE 11g.
If I try to go to OBIEE 11g Home page I get this error "Error 500- Internal server error from RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol- HTTP/1.1: 10.5.1 500 Internal server error
Any Idea how to fix this one.
Thanks

Maybe you need to tick the "use fully qualified names" check box and make sure that you have the schema object created (as a "folder" between the database and the tables in the physical layer).

Photoshop does not start unless I reboot

I have been having this problem since yesterday. Photoshop does not start after I use the computer for a while. I opened Windows Task manager to see if any processes start at all, even though the application does not start. Two processes (1) AdobeIPCBroker and (2) Photoshop.exe process start, but photoshop application does not open , not does it show up in the applications. What may be going wrong?

Where did you get this idea? This is the problem.
Follow the wiki
Also, you realize everything you are installing and doing only remains in memory. Why are you installing all these packages? Are you going to repeat this installation and user creation at every reboot?
EDIT: something else is wrong too - but until you fix the above, it will be hard to know if it is a separate cause, or an indirect effect. /run/user/0 should not be relevant, but /run/user/1000 should be used. I suspect your method of starting X is logging out of the 'su'ed user and is dropping back to the root login that it is under. You'll likely need to change tty's to log in as your user - on a normal system you could log out of the root session and back in as your user - but on the iso I think autologin for root is set on tty1. Of course you could disable this too.

I'm not MSSQL guy, and some feature for the connection are different than other db.
But...
Did you try to run in DMS boot strap mode :
change_access_password SYSADM1 new_password;
(replace SYSADM1 by your own symbolicid of the new db).
You could also set a level trace on your client (pscfg) and try to connect to your db through AppDesigner, and report the log here.

Xfce4-power-manager does not start, but after relogin - works

Hi all.
When I login after system start, xfce4-power-manager does not start and systemtray icon doesn't appear. But after relogin (not restart), the systemtray icon of xfce4-power-manager appears and power manager itself works correctly (if I don't relogin, notebook will shutdown after 10 minutes of downtime - that rule doesn't exist in xfce4-power-manager settings).

I turned off key handlers because I truly HATE when I press power button and a notebook doing shutdown after that.

My iMac does not start.

My iMac does not start. When I turn it on, it stays loading in the half and doesn't continue. Some days before I had updated my iMac to Yosemite 10.10. Everything was ok but yesterday I decided tu reboot it and when it was turning on this happened, it kept stuck at the middle of the bar. I have the latest model of MacBook Air '13.

Take each of these steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved.
To restart an unresponsive computer, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the power shuts off, then release, wait a few more seconds, and press it again briefly.
Step 1
The first step in dealing with a startup failure is to secure the data. If you want to preserve the contents of the startup drive, and you don't already have at least one current backup, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data that has changed since the last backup, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to start. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
a. Start up from the Recovery partition, or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) When the OS X Utilities screen appears, launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in this support article, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.” The article refers to starting up from a DVD, but the procedure in Recovery mode is the same. You don't need a DVD if you're running OS X 10.7 or later.
b. If Step 1a fails because of disk errors, and no other Mac is available, then you may be able to salvage some of your files by copying them in the Finder. If you already have an external drive with OS X installed, start up from it. Otherwise, if you have Internet access, follow the instructions on this page to prepare the external drive and install OS X on it. You'll use the Recovery installer, rather than downloading it from the App Store.
c. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, start the non-working Mac in target disk mode. Use the working Mac to copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
d. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
Step 2
If the startup process stops at a blank gray screen with no Apple logo or spinning "daisy wheel," then the startup volume may be full. If you had previously seen warnings of low disk space, this is almost certainly the case. You might be able to start up in safe mode even though you can't start up normally. Otherwise, start up from an external drive, or else use the technique in Step 1b, 1c, or 1d to mount the internal drive and delete some files. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation.
Step 3
Sometimes a startup failure can be resolved by resetting the NVRAM.
Step 4
If a desktop Mac hangs at a plain gray screen with a movable cursor, the keyboard may not be recognized. Press and hold the button on the side of an Apple wireless keyboard to make it discoverable. If need be, replace or recharge the batteries. If you're using a USB keyboard connected to a hub, connect it to a built-in port.
Step 5
If there's a built-in optical drive, a disc may be stuck in it. Follow these instructions to eject it.
Step 6
Press and hold the power button until the power shuts off. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed to start up, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Use a different keyboard and/or mouse, if those devices are wired. If you can start up now, one of the devices you disconnected, or a combination of them, is causing the problem. Finding out which one is a process of elimination.
Step 7
If you've started from an external storage device, make sure that the internal startup volume is selected in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences.
Start up in safe mode. Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know the login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
When you start up in safe mode, it's normal to see a dark gray progress bar on a light gray background. If the progress bar gets stuck for more than a few minutes, or if the system shuts down automatically while the progress bar is displayed, the startup volume is corrupt and the drive is probably malfunctioning. In that case, go to Step 11. If you ever have another problem with the drive, replace it immediately.
If you can start and log in in safe mode, empty the Trash, and then open the Finder Info window on the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) Check that you have at least 9 GB of available space, as shown in the window. If you don't, copy as many files as necessary to another volume (not another folder on the same volume) and delete the originals. Deletion isn't complete until you empty the Trash again. Do this until the available space is more than 9 GB. Then restart as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)
If the startup process hangs again, the problem is likely caused by a third-party system modification that you installed. Post for further instructions.
Step 8
Launch Disk Utility in Recovery mode (see Step 1.) Select the startup volume, then run Repair Disk. If any problems are found, repeat until clear. If Disk Utility reports that the volume can't be repaired, the drive has malfunctioned and should be replaced. You might choose to tolerate one such malfunction in the life of the drive. In that case, erase the volume and restore from a backup. If the same thing ever happens again, replace the drive immediately.
This is one of the rare situations in which you should also run Repair Permissions, ignoring the false warnings it may produce. Look for the line "Permissions repair complete" at the end of the output. Then restart as usual.
Step 9
If the startup device is an aftermarket SSD, it may need a firmware update and/or a forced "garbage collection." Instructions for doing this with a Crucial-branded SSD were posted here. Some of those instructions may apply to other brands of SSD, but you should check with the vendor's tech support.
Step 10
Reinstall the OS. If the Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade.
Step 11
Do as in Step 9, but this time erase the startup volume in Disk Utility before installing. The system should automatically restart into the Setup Assistant. Follow the prompts to transfer the data from a Time Machine or other backup.
Step 12
This step applies only to models that have a logic-board ("PRAM") battery: all Mac Pro's and some others (not current models.) Both desktop and portable Macs used to have such a battery. The logic-board battery, if there is one, is separate from the main battery of a portable. A dead logic-board battery can cause a startup failure. Typically the failure will be preceded by loss of the settings for the startup disk and system clock. See the user manual for replacement instructions. You may have to take the machine to a service provider to have the battery replaced.
Step 13
If you get this far, you're probably dealing with a hardware fault. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.

Xorg does not start (timeouts) with "no screens found"

After years of my system working correctly, this has been happening for the last ten days.
Many times - not all of them - xorg does not start, and I get greated with the standard console login prompt.
Checking in /var/log/ the xorg.0.log, it says that "no screens found".
I am using an nvidia VGA with nvidia driver 190.xx from extra.
I am using KDE, from inittab (not with kdm as a deamon).
Initial xorg.conf used to be:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Default Layout"
Screen "Default Screen"
InputDevice "Generic Keyboard"
InputDevice "Configured Mouse"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Configured Mouse"
Driver "mouse"
Option "CorePointer"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
Option "Emulate3Buttons" "true"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "My Monitor"
Option "DPMS" "True"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Graphics Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Device "My Graphics Card"
Monitor "My Monitor"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024"
Viewport 0 0
EndSubSection
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "true"
Option "TripleBuffer" "true"
EndSection
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "enable"
EndSection
Now I have trimmed it down to:
Section "Device"
Identifier "My Graphics Card"
Driver "nvidia"
EndSection
But the problem remains.
The problem started ten days ago.
The previous night I had updated the following packages (I provide a section of pacman.log):
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded acct (6.3.2-2 -> 6.5.1-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded coreutils (8.2-1 -> 8.4-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded farsight2 (0.0.16-1 -> 0.0.17-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded git (1.6.6-1 -> 1.6.6.1-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded iproute2 (2.6.29-3 -> 2.6.31-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded mkvtoolnix (3.0.0-1 -> 3.1.0-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded psmisc (22.8-1 -> 22.10-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded zlib (1.2.3.4-3 -> 1.2.3.4-4)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded recordmydesktop (0.3.8.1-1 -> 0.3.8.1-2)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded smbclient (3.4.4-1 -> 3.4.5-1.1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded samba (3.4.4-1 -> 3.4.5-1.1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded smartmontools (5.38-2 -> 5.39-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded tzdata (2009t-1 -> 2010a-1)
[2010-01-21 20:35] upgraded whois (4.7.36-1 -> 5.0.0-1)
So since nothing on xorg was updated, maybe the new coreutils is the more likely suspect?

no, i install nvidia and then xorg i try startx without result.
Right now i am from Ubuntu, i am going to install arch on virtualbox and i will answer to any other questions.
Thank you
The reason you were asked if you rebooted is because installing the nvidia driver also installs a kernel module. That kernel module
needs to be installed in the running kernel, either by invoking "depmod nvidia" or rebooting, providing everything installed correctly. You
may need to put the module name in your modules section of rc.conf and then reboot.
The absence of that kernel module explains your error message of not finding that kernel module. :-)
iirc the .install already does the depmod
Note to TS: if you use virtualbox you can't use your hosts video card so you will have to use the vboxvideo driver. So read the wiki about virtualbox
