GDM does not allow me to login

Hello,
I just updated my system after about one week. When computer starts I see initial boot output (information about decompressing kernel image and systemd-fsck output), then normally GDM was starting. Now I only see the same initial output and after some time only mouse cursor shows up (with busy icon). That's all, GDM is not displayed at all, but I can move mouse cursor on screen. The initial booting output stays on screen like a wallpaper.
I'm able to switch to other terminal and use computer from cmd. Does anyone had similar issue? Maybe I should provide some logs?
I have graphic card from nvidia and use nouveu driver.

Ok, I investigated problem a bit.
I have GDM configured with autologin, what was working for me for a while and now it stopped. Here's the output of stystemctl status gdm.service:

Any idea how to deal with this issue?

GDM does not allow resolution while Gnome does

My xorg.conf is set to default resolution 1024x768, and when I get into gnome I have 1152x864 set up and it works fine. If I set my default xorg.conf resolution to 1152x864 like my gnome, GDM isn't displayed and I have to login blindly. This would not be a problem except I want to run openbox in 1152x864 which uses the default xorg.conf resolution.

Network account - Having "user must change password at nex logon checked" - does not allow user to login

Hi,
We have several SharePoint 2013 sites which, when the option called "User must change password at next logon" is checked on a user's Active Directory account, the user is not allowed to login to the SharePoint site. Is this something that needs
to be changed on the SharePoint end to resolve?
thanks,
Sherazad.

You need to look at a different solution that allows this, e.g. home-grown solution, 3rd party, and I believe Forefront Identity Manager can also accomplish this task. There are quite a few self-service password management solutions out there. Search on
that term, and you should be able to find something that works for you.

Dreamweaver does not allow me to edit the editable region

Oh my, I'm so desperate in this, I have a .dwt and have set up the editable region as well. When I want to make a new html file from the said template dreamweaver does not allow me to edit it. I mean, all the code is completely grayed out as if the template itself is locked by default.
What I want to do is to create several new pages such as new albums, charts, genres, contacts (which all based on the home template) The home template itself has slider in its body. For the new html files I'm about to create (which I'm so desperate why I can't do so) I want the header and footer to remain the same.
Here is an image of my index.dwt (my homepage) anything inside the red frame is what I want to edit for new albums, charts, genres, contacts, login page, etc. The top part is the header and the bottom one is the footer (Excuse the right image, I'm working on dual screen)
Any help will be appreciated!
Sorry for my english

Hello SeptianNugraha,
here some hints concerning while handling templates (I quote):
The main principle of DW Templates is:
Non-editable regions = propagate to all child pages. The content of non-edtable regions is identical on all child pages. When you edit a non-editable region, DW propagates all changes to all child pages.
Editable regions = do not propagate because they're unique to every child page. The whole idea of editable regions is that they contain page specific content which does not appear on any other child page.
And:
PART 1
1. Create a prototype page with all the sitewide elements (common header, footer, sidebar, etc..) that you will need for your entire project. This requires some careful pre-planning even for small web sites.
2. Validate your code & test this prototype page in all major browsers. 3. When you're completely satisfied with your layout, SaveAs Template. DW will save this as a .dwt file in a site folder called Templates.
4. DW will ask you to add Editable Regions for stuff that will change from page to page. Do this and SAVE.
5. Close your Template.dwt file.
PART 2
1. File > New Page > from Template. Select the template you wish to use. Hit OK.
2. This is a child page. You can only edit content within editable regions. Everything else is locked.
3. SaveAs index.html (your home page) to the root in your local site folder.
PART 3
Repeat PART 2 for each additional page required.
PART 4
1. Open your main TEMPLATE file and add a navigation menu with links to your site pages.2. SAVE.3. DW will ask if you want to populate changes to child pages. Hit yes.
4. Publish all site pages to your server.
PART 5
If you should ever need to edit your TEMPLATE .dwt file, Repeat PART 4.
Good luck!

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.
Anand

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)

If you login in German you can see the variable %1 being replaced by "SDF/" in the Help window.
Or you can find the text in the note:

JFrame which does not allow resizing (maximizing, minimizng)

I want to develop a login frame which does not allow resizing (maximizing, minimizing as this does not make sense) and with 2 fields, JTextField and JPasswordField.
The frame is developed but has the usual resizing handles.
How to do?
Many tks for any information.
John Pashley

Don't use a JFrame. Also, don't expect code like this again; I did it for fun.
It requires your modification.

Firefox does not allow my on-line bank account security phrase to be retained - why?

Hello,
I have successfully used MS Internet Explorer to log into my on-line bank account in the past. Since changing to Firefox my login process has become incumbered. The bank requires a security phrase as a part of an initial personal PC to bank account security setup measure, which security phrase information is supposed to be retained on my PC for subsequent logins into my on-line account. I still need to enter the usual username and password, but for some reason Firefox does not allow the security phrase information to be retained on my PC and so I have to enter the security phrase each time I log in. I called my bank's IT department and together we tried changing some Firefox settings, but none of them fixed this problem. I also have AVG and Super Antispyware loaded on this PC.
Do you have a solution to this problem?

The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4.
Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
* Right click on the Back or Forward button
* Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
You can look at this extension:
* Backward Forward History Dropdown: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/backforedrop/

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot 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 your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no improvement, continue.

Reset your computer’s PRAM.

KeyUsage does not allow digital signatures

Hello,
I'm getting the security: KeyUsage does not allow digital signatures error (in java log) when trying to authenticate our web-based java app using a smart card (CAC). The smart card authentication works fine on one test system, but not the other. Both are using the same 'certificate' (we believe). Both have the same IIS 6.0 settings, and same java setting...as well as IE browser settings.
Visually, the symptom presents itself via the sun java login prompt when clicking the link to load the java app. We have an asp client that works fine. Only our java app is asking for re-authentication. If we manually type the credentials of a system admin, it loads the applet fine. What I can't figure out is, "Why are we getting prompted for a log-in to begin?"
Note: We have verified that IIS (via IIS logs) that authentication is successful, yet still prompted.
Here is a snippet of the java log: ----------------------------------

Any clues?

One of the KeyUsage extension bits is DIGITAL_SIGNATURE which in your case has most likely not been enabled so try getting a certificate signed with the DIGITAL_SIGNATURE bit enabled. It would be a good idea to actual have a look at your certificate to see which KeyUsage bits are enabled and whether the KeyUsage extension is set as critical or not. If the extension is defined as critical, then all the bits have to be followed, whereas if it is not critical, then the bits can be ignored and it depends on the API used on whether they enforce what the bits say.

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

I have a full Team subscription to Creative Cloud, but type kit does not allow me to use some fonts. Do I have to pay extra to have more fonts available to me?

Hi drewacg,
I'm sorry that you ran into trouble with this. Are you the administrative contact on your Creative Cloud team subscription? The admin user doesn't receive the same set of services as a full seat, so you will have a Typekit Trial plan instead of the Portfolio plan.
You have the option of upgrading to the Portfolio level, though. If you would like to do that:
1) sign in at https://typekit.com/login with your Adobe ID and password
2) visit typekit.com/plans, and select the "upgrade" option underneath Portfolio
Your Typekit plan upgrade will be billed separately from your Creative Cloud payments. The Portfolio plan is $49.99/year.
I hope that this helps! If you have any questions, please feel free to send your Adobe ID information to [email protected] and we can look into it further for you. Best,
-- liz
