Firefox does not quit automatically after logging out of my computer

Hey, everyone.
Just curious if anyone has experienced a similar problem as me.
I am working on a G5, running Mac OS X (10.4.8) using the newest verson of Firefox 1.5.07.
Intermittently, I cannot log out of my computer without first closing Firefox.
Shouldn't the computer automatically quit out all programs and complete the log out without giving me an error message saying Firefox is still running?
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate the input.
Thanks,
boneyo

Do you have multiple tabs open at the time, with the option to "confirm multiple tab close on exit"?
Because that would halt something trying to quit Firefox - Firefox itself won't quit without that input, and logging out won't Force Quit.
If this sounds like the problem, try not confirming multiple tab closure on exit, and then logging out and see?

GDM does not appear back after logging out from Gnome.

Hello,
I am tryingout Archlinux for the first time. I am able to goto run level 5 and after booting I get the GDM login screen. I can log in to Gnome. But when I log out from Gnome, GDM does not appear, but I get a black screen. Then, the only way to come out is to press the reset button.
What may be the problem?
Thanks for your help.

it may depend on how ur running gdm, (possibly with -*no-daemon option) .. in which case it'd prolly werk if u removed it...
although i'd recommend using rc.conf instead as it's a lot cleaner...
to use /etc/rc.conf
add gdm to the DAEMONS;
mine = "DAEMONS=(gdm @syslog-ng @network @alsa @httpd)"
that starts gdm(in daemon mode), then starts syslog-ng,net*,alsa and apache in the background .. save me about 6 seconds when i background em.
then you need to change the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to 3 (not 5)

KDE desktop does not come up after log out

I have updated KDE to the lastest version using the Arch packages. It worked wonderfully the first time, all of my widgits were intact and my desktop was just as I had left it, custom background and everything. Then, however, I logged out to make sure Fluxbox worked. Now, even after rebooting, the KDE desktop doesn't come up. It will bring up Pidgin which was running before but the taskbar and all of the widgets are gone and it has this grey background that is the same as the one in the KDM.
No errors are produced, although it does now ask for the password for a Wallet that "Plasma Desktop" wants to access. I recognise the name of the wallet (kdewallet) and input the password correctly after this, two notifications pop up with informational thing. One is about some indexing service being "rebuilt" for new features and the other is saying that it's falling back on a different sound output. None of this seems to have an impact on the limited usability I have.
Has anyone else expereinced this? Are there any log files where errors would be outputted to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have found the relevent messages. They are at a pastebin. http://pastebin.ca/1522805
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here.
After the top line of that post, there are a LOT of errors related to "No block with decorrelation terms" in fact the vast majority of that file are those things. All other "errors" are warnings related to my Fluxbox session which is working fine.
Lines 1, 11 and 12 seem to be the most severe errors:
[0xa2412b0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"
I have no idea where to even begin fixing them. However it is Nepomuk that comes up with the rebuilding message i mentioned in my previous post.

Same thing happens when i click restart.
No difference when i run it in Safe mode. And it won't let me create a new profile either. Is there anyway else i can extract my bookmarks? This is driving me crazy!

Did the crash reporter send any crash reports? 
You can see the crash reports in this folder:
"C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports"
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Breakpad
See also [[Firefox crashes when you open it]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems. 
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]] 
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" 
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files) 
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox 
If that still causes the same problem then do a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
* 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 when uninstalling.
* 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.

Extensions can sometimes be the cause of problems. If the problem does not occur in Safe Mode, then you can disable your extensions one-by-one until you find out which one is causing the problem. See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]

Transport service does not start automatically after upgrade to exchange 2010 SP2 from Exchange 2010 SP1

Hi,
I am trying to upgrade Exchange 2010 SP2 from SP1, but Transport service does not start automatically.
Tried manually start services, it started successfully but again goes down within few seconds automatically.
Reboot server. but no luck.
Any help.
MD

Hi,
I recommend you use event viewer to check if there are any relate event logs. This may help us to find the cause.
In addition, as Amit mentioned, Exchange 2010 SP2 isn't supported by Microsoft, I think upgrading to SP3 is a much more sensible approach.
Thanks.

Wifi does not connect automatically after sleep

Since installing Yosemite on my Mid 2011 iMac - when my computer wakes from sleep mode, it does not automatically connect to the wifi. I have to select the network to join from the top menu bar. Is there anyway to make it connect automatically like it use to? Thanks for any and all help!

Hello ffmed124,
The steps detailed below can help get your iMac to reconnect to your Wi-Fi network automatically after waking from sleep.
Check your TCP/IP settings in the Network pane of the System Preferences. Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button
Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
Choose Network from the View menu.
Select Wi-Fi, then click the Advanced button in the lower-left hand corner of the screen.
Click the TCP/IP tab from the top of the screen.
Click the "Renew DHCP lease" button.
Select the Wi-Fi tab and view your Preferred Networks list.
Select each network and click the minus (-) sign to remove those networks from your Preferred Networks list.
Click OK and close the Network preferences.
Remove your stored network passwords using the Keychain Access Utility.
Open Keychain Access from /Applications/Utilities. Your window will look like this:
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the login keychain: Select the "login" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".
Remove your AirPort network passwords from the System keychain: Select the "System" keychain from the Keychain sidebar. Click the "Kind" column to order the list of keychain items by their type. Remove all entries of the kind: "AirPort network password".Note: The above steps will remove your Wi-Fi network passwords. If you do not know them, or if your network does not use passwords to restrict access, you should contact your network administrator.
Restart your computer.
Join your Wi-Fi network. You will need to enter your password for your network again if it requires one.

Firefox does not store preferences for one user on the computer

For myself firefox works well. With my wife as user firefox works very slow, keeps on coming withe the firstuse page and roundtour and does not store changed settings. I would like her to be able to work just as fina as I with firefox.

hello frans7653, you may want to try refreshing firefox in the user account of your wife: [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]]
for some manual troubleshooting steps you could also refer to this article: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]

Once I exit Firefox, my online login is not saved. I have followed the advice in the forum, but it does not work once you log out of FF

I have a new iMac OS X 10.6.7
With my older computer, I could save my banking online login id, but I can't get it to work on this one. I set the privacy settings as follows: Use custom settings for history
Items checked are:
Remember my browsing history
Remember download history
Remember search & form history
Accept cookies from sites
Keep until they expire.
Nothing else is checked off.

it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted.
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete cookies.sqlite-journal and cookies.txt, if they exist, in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

X does not start automatically after xorg update (1.16)

Hello,
Yesterday after a system update and a reboot, my screen stayed desperatly black. Then I logged in to a console as root and started X by doing:
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
systemctl isolate graphical.target
This means root can start X. So I created the file /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config:
allowed_users = anybody
needs_root_rights = yes
but no change. I'm using the Intel GPU (xf86-video-intel driver).
Any idea?

Computer does not sleep automatically after upgrading to Windows 8.1?

I have Windows 8.1 and my laptop will not sleep even though its settings are set on a time frame to automatically - used to sleep perfectly fine without any issues before on Windows 8. I'm sure I don't have any applications such as, Windows Media Player
running or etc. that prevents my computer from sleeping because I've tested it with no applications running and does the same thing. The only thing it does is dimming and turns of the display on time. This is frustrating and inconvenient that I always have
to manually sleep through power settings, please help me fix this!
**I've heard this isn't just my problem and many people also experience the same issue after upgrading to Windows 8.1**
Please see attached photo below:

Thank you for your suggestion, Carey Frisch! I've left homegroup but it doesn't seem to temporary band-aid the issue. I've tried the other solutions there but I'm left to no avail.
"Hopefully Windows 8.2, which is slated to drop in the first half of January 2014, will address this sleeping pandemic, for now we all have to leave with Microsoft’s shenanigans."
I hope Microsoft addresses this issue as I'm not the only user who has this problem and fixes it in a soon coming update! Do something about it Microsoft!
I guess all we can do is play the waiting game and hope Microsoft listens...

Scheduled BEX Broadcaster reports does not work automatically after BW 7.3 upgrade

Hello,
We recently upgraded our BW system from 7.0 to 7.31
Since then broadcasting reports has been inconsistent. Not all the reports are broadcasted.
Some reports of object type Query has been scheduled to run everyday but I don't see that in released status in SM37.
Some WAD templates throws an error that states " JAVA SYSTEM ERROR : EXCEPTION in method process function"
WAD reports also flags this warning : "Transformation Exception while transforming BEX web templates" in all the reports.
System Version:
BI ABAP 7.31 SP11
BI JAVA 7.00 SPS 30 Patch.
Most of the suggested SAP Notes are covered in this release.
SAP suggests to upgrade BI JAVA. But we are looking for a quick fix since JAVA upgrade has to go through a process and that's time consuming.
Appreciate your suggestions on this.
Thanks,
Nithya.

Hi,
Please have a look to the Blog - BI-JAVA, BEx Web and EP: the real connection to resolve your Problems after the Upgrade to 7.31.
There a quite massive differences between BI-JAVA 7.0x and 7.3x.
See also the Section BEx Web Java 7.3x in the SCN Document - BEx Versions 3.5 and 7.x after Upgrade

Windows 2012R2 does not boot automatically after BSOD

I have a Windows 2012R2 server with some critical applications.
Sometimes one of that applications causes BSOD. It doesn't matter why - I need the server to reboot and continue running without manual intervention. Instead of it server restarts and then stays on "Choose an option" screen (with Continue/Use
a device/Troubleshoot/Turn off your PC options).
After that I need to go to server room and press Continue manually. It is not an option for me because it can happen during the night and server will not be operational until the morning. Is there the way to skip that screen automatically?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your issue in the forum.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Application does not start automatically after J2EE restart

Is there a way to automatically start the deployed applications after a J2EE restart. We have a .ear file which we have to redeploy everytime we restart the J2EE engine. We are on 6.40 SP15.

Hi Parvez and Ivaylo,
Has any of you used the startup mode setting? I tried using it and set it to always but the application still won't start. Is there anything I'm missing?
My application-j2ee-engine.xml looks like this:
