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.

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?

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

Lightroom 5 file edited in photoshop cc 2014 does not appear back next to original after save. Is anyone else having this issue? If so what is the fix. The edited image appears back in lightroom in a new folder.

I'm performing a normal "Save", not "Save As". Work flow I'm using is as follows: Select photo in Lightroom 5.7 >" Edit In" Photoshop CC 2014 > (after working on photo is PS) > Save > close PS. Photo returns to Lightroom 5.7 in a new folder rather than next to the original. Prior to purchasing the monthly plan and upgrading to PS CC 2014, I performed this same work flow using Lightroom 5.6 and Photoshop CS6 without any issues.
Just for fun... I attempted to move the edited file back into the original folder. I received a prompt that said the file already existed in the original folder, however I can't see it except the new folder that LR created. I tried several different sort orders, etc without any success.
*** Follow up: Was unable to resolve the issue using Photoshop CC 2014. Uninstalled PS CC 2014 and went back to using Photoshop CS6. Return trips from LR 5.7 to Photoshop is now performing as it should: returning edited photo back to the original folder in LR 5 and placing next to the original image.
Should anyone have a suggestion on getting Photoshop CC 2014 to do the same, I would love to be educated.
Thanks for the help, dj_paige.

MBP does not come back after hybernation

Hello everyone,
I am enjoying my MBP except for one problem. It does not come back after it hybernates sometimes.
I hit a key, hear the superdrive do it's "thing" and then after much waiting (approximately over 10 minutes) no picture or video on the screen!
I can tell that it's still powered on because it's plugged in and when I hit the Caps Lock key it lights on and off.
The only way that I can get it out of this state is to hold down the power button, unplug the power cord, take the battery out, hold in the power button for 4 seconds, reinsert the battery and power back on.
I have to then cycle the power back off because the first time it does not come back but I just get the blank white boot screen and no 'apple'.
When I turn it back on the second time, it boots up.
Anyone else have a problem with this?
Thanks for listening!

Hello Gweedo!
Yeah I have the same issue and am up to date. Apparently this is a pretty huge problem with the Macbook Pro since the last Graphics update after updating to 10.5.2.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1394449
I have been perusing through that topic and hopefully they will come up with a fix for this.
The only work-a-round that I have found (but haven't tested extensively yet) is to disconnect to the wireless, turn off blue tooth, disconnect my external monitor and then go into sleep mode. Then it always comes back. But if I leave it connected to the wireless, bluetooth, and external monitor - it's a crap shoot as to weather or not it will come back up.
This is pretty frustrating because half of using a laptop is being able to hybernate and sleep properly.
I even have the 'smartsleep' installed.
Thanks for commenting everybody!

The wish list only works on apps you have to pay for. To get it tap the icon of the app you want to save. After it opens at the upper right corner is a box with a arrow. Tap that then tap add to wish list list in the box that opens.

Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.

Full Screen Does Not Come Back After Minimizing Firefox to the Taskbar.
I work in full screen almost exclusively ... the toolbar and the URL are still displayed while in full screen.
Before this version (30.0), when I minimized Firefox to the taskbar so that I could go to the desktop or to Windows Explorer, when I finished what I was doing and re-selected Firefox it would go back to full screen. Now, it does not go back to full screen. I can still see the taskbar. I have to press [f11] two more times to get back to full screen.
I have tried with and without addons enabled. Same behavior. I have reset Firefox ... same behavior.
I'm using Firefox 30.0 and Windows 7 (64 bit).
Thanks.

Hi moose53,
Just tested it with a Logitech keyboard and you are right, what you are describing is not expected behavior. I see you do not have any add ons, however does this also reproduce in Safe Mode? [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If yes, try a new profile [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu, but task manager says the process is running

Firefox does not appear on screen when started from the start menu or the shortcuts, but task manager says the process is running.

No - I get the message basically saying "Can't run program while Firefox is running. Please close down Firefox & try again".
I rebooted my computer and it all works now - but that's weird it was happening before. Kinda weirded out that it happened at all.
To avoid that happening again, I still wanna know what to do to avoid it or fix it for next time. Thanks

Mercedes User interface does not revert back after a call

I had my iPhone 4 paired to my Mercedes and was happily using the bluetooth connectivity for making and receiving calls .
But lately when I make a call by dialing from my phone and then disconnecting the call using the car control, the car screen does not revert back to what it was and it remains in the phone mode.
This does not happen when I pick up a call using the car control.
Any idea as to why this might be happening .

Uninstall then reinstall RNR. RNR does not like to be cancelled via task manager.... this creates a mess.
Reinstall may also fix your issue with productivity center..

HDMI does not come back after disconnect

Hello Archers,
this one is bugging me for a while now, perhaps someone has an idea.
I have a headless ARCH home server that mainly has the following purposes:
1. being a 24/7 file/backup/ssh server for family and friends
2. being an MPD server connected to my music system
The setup may seem a bit exotic. The computer is connected to the music system via HDMI over an S/PDIF audio extractor to the music system. This is because the machine replaced a RaspberryPi that really had crappy analog audio output and my music system has an optical input and can perform the digital to analog conversion itself. I have not installed Pulse just alsa and jack2-dbus.
aplay -l shows the following:
**** Liste der Hardware-Geräte (PLAYBACK) ****
Karte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], Gerät 0: ALC887-VD Analog [ALC887-VD Analog]
Sub-Geräte: 1/1
Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0
Karte 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], Gerät 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Sub-Geräte: 0/1
Sub-Gerät #0: subdevice #0
The Problem:
Whenever I switch off the music system and later switch it back on, the HDMI-connection is lost and does not get reestablished. I tried various things but essentially only a reboot of the machine helps (which opposes purpose 1 of the machine). On the RaspberryPi I did not have that problem, probably due to the hdmi_force_hotplug=1 in /boot/config.txt.
My Observations so far:
The first problem that made the sound disappear was the screen blanker on the console after 10 minutes. This can be prevented with
setterm --term linux --blank 0 >/dev/tty1 # You need write permission on /dev/tty1 for this to work!
There are no appearant error or warning messages when using e.g. aplay or speaker-test, just no sound at all
There are tipps in the forums/the internet sugesting to disable power management on the display involving xset and xrandr. However, I have no X running and the tools complain that they cannot find/open the display

I figured that the problem is probably related to powermanagement, so I experimented with powertop. This resulted in a reduced consumption of 1W when idle, which is nice but did not solve the original problem...
The Questions
Is there a way to completely reinit the HDMI subsystem just like on a reboot?
Is there an option comparable to hdmi_force_hotplug=1 on the pi that forces the HDMI signal to stay up?
Thank You for Your time!
Best regards,
Lars

I can confirm what zofiel said. I have tested it by connecting a TV and HDMI reactivitated by switching from X to console. However, this option only works one time and requires X running in the first place, which I usually have not on a headless server, but it made me think: Obviousely the X server needs to activate the graphics in the first place. Then I came up with an idea for a really messy work around. I could try to remotely start X. Normally, this is not possible and you get:
% startx
/usr/lib/xorg-server/Xorg.wrap: Only console users are allowed to run the X server
xinit: giving up
xinit: unable to connect to X server: Connection refused
xinit: server error
You can force it to work:
sudo startx
You get lots of error messages, but HDMI audio is back, even if one kills the X process afterwards with Ctrl+C (Audio stops, but resumes two seconds later). The downside is that starting X with sudo messes up permissions with the x related files in your home directory and you will have problems to use startx afterwards, so it is probably better to use su instead of sudo. If root does not have a properly configured .xinitrc file then one can also just execute the desktop environment directly e.g., for XFCE:
su - root -c "startxfce4"
Then kill it with Ctrl+C and you should have HDMI Audio working.
So now I could pack this in a script followed by some command to kill it, but, well, it is an ugly workaround
Is there really no better way?

Skype for Android comes back after log out

I'll try this message again because apparently the first time I wrote it it just went into the ether of the internet. Recently Skype on my S4 has been logging back in and starting up after I've logged out even after I've forced closed the app. Previously when I closed the app by signing out it would completely get out of skype. If this behavior continues I will make sure that I make my company and friends leave skype and Lync (since they are becoming the same thing). This is on top of the terrible redesign of the desktop app that you pretended to listen to feedback on but after over 80 pages of feedback, decided not to listen to at all. Please don't present this as a "feature" or say that you can solve the problem by turning off "Sign in automatically" and "turning off notificiations." I want those things to remain as I don't want to have to enter my password each time I use the app and I would like the notifications when in use. And turning them on and off each time is the mark of a terrible interface. If this is some sort of feature, it needs to be made separate and made sure that Skype doesn't autorun when turning on your phone. I should mention that some of these have been notifications in the middle of the night, so it not only can affect ones sleep, it can cause additional communication problems with people thinking they are online when they truly are not. Definitely not something you want in a business or personal atmosphere. Skype for Android even with it's new notifications is still a terrible battery hog, with no option to change the now strange formatting and call button is in a place that results in a lot of unintentional calls because it's by where the touch keyboard is instead of at the top like it was previously. There is no reason that Skype should come back after being forced closed, but it should not have to get to that point. Please fix ASAP. This does explain some of the terrible battery life I've been experiencing lately.

THERE IS A WORKAROUND FOR THIS VERY ANNOYING AND BAD BEHAVIOUR I also have experienced this problem on S4mini, SII and other Android devices running all sorts of versions of AOSP. You are all correct that this should not happen (signout should == signout) but if you don't want to reboot you Android all the time then do the following (instructions for A 4.4.2 Kitkat on Samsung running TouchWiz but similar to other devices)0. Signout of SKYPE1. SETTINGS2. MORE ...3. APPLICATION MANAGER4. RUNNINGYou should find a SKYPE process; select it and STOP (ignoring any warnings). Voila, no more zombie SKYPE Worring things include being online and woken in the middle of the night - but more so is that the running process is VIDEOMONITOR - now why would MSFT want to leave that running???

Emctl process stops after log out from linux

I know this has to be an easy one -
After starting the OEM for 9ias via the command line "emctl start", everything is fine until I log out. Once logged out, it seems like the process is stopped. I've tried issuing a "nohup emctl start", but same behavior. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

I had the same problem on Solaris, and you are right - nohup does not work. I solved the problem by installing XVFB (X virtual frame buffer) which acts as a 'headless' console session. The XVFB software is available on Oracle - just do a search. There is also a note about installing it - Note #208745.1
Hope this helps, email if you have any other questions.
