GDM shows only gray screen.

When booting Arch, I will get to the GDM login screen with no problem but then, after logging in it will hang at a gray screen. If I open up another terminal with Alt+Ctrl+F2 and type startx, GNOME will launch properly in both screens. My .xinitrc file says exec gnome-session. What am I doing wrong?

  • I recently updated to X but it works once in a while but mostly just shows a gray screen.

    Also, I can't uninstall X.  It only shows a gray screen.  Once in a while it will allow a
    PDF to open.  It will open existing saved filed but not off the web like for example viewing a
    check statement download from an account.  There's something that blocks it.  It looks like it will try to open the file then just go gray.

    The installer disappears after Lion is installed. To get another copy go to the App Store. Hold down the option key while selected your Purchases tab. That should activate the Lion Install button. Download again and follow the directions in this blog post. You can follow the same directions and save to a thumb drive that has been formatted GUID partition/Mac OS Extended.

  • I restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

    i restored my 3gs iphone and now it shows only black screen with apple mark... dont know what to do?

    I would suggest you try to update your iOS 8.0.2 to the latest iOS 8.1.0 with iTunes on your computer. Don't try to do the update on your iPhone, it takes time and some error always occur. After updating to iOS 8.1.0, if your iPhone can't restart properly, try Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS trial version. It will say that your iPhone is not in normal mode, offering you the option 'restart the device'. Just click the button to let your iPhone restart.

  • Testing app on device shows only black screen.

    Hi,
    I created hello world app, app is working fine on simulator,
    But when I install this app on device, and launch it from devie it shows only black screen. I am not sure whats the possible reason for this.
    Device which I am using is Intex cloud fx.
    Does any here faced this problem?
    Thanks

    Hi Malkit Singh,
    I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems installing a test app that you developed for your Intex Cloud Fx.
    Unfortunately, I have not heard of this issue. Do you have a different Firefox OS device that you would be able to test this on?
    I would also suggest contacting Intex Support for device-specific issues.
    If you believe there might be something wrong with the code in the test app, you can ask developer-related questions on [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/firefox-os StackOverflow].
    Please let us know if you have any other questions about your new Firefox OS device! =)

  • When I open iTunes on my iphone5 it shows only empty screen he cb I fix the issue..help

    When I open iTunes on my iphone5 it shows only empty screen he cb I fix the issue..help

    The screen is completely blank in the app ? Have you tried closing the app via the phone's taskbar and/or done a soft-reset to see if it then displays anything ?
    Closing an app : Force an app to close in iOS - Apple Support
    Soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Photos not showing, only gray boxes

    so i opened up my iPhoto, and some of my pics aren't showing. they show when i click on them, but the like thumbnails aren't showing. only gray boxes. like the outline of the box is a dotted gray line.
    help?

    You can add a title to a pic in iPhoto - you do it - and everything else - in the iPhoto Window. However this does not rename the file. If you want to access the pics, the filename is irrelevant:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    *For Users of 10.5 Only*
    You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
    *For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
    Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    *If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
    Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    If yiu want to export a copy of a pic, using the Title as Filename, then use the File -> Export command. It’s one of the options in that dialogue.

  • Hello, I have such problem. My TouchSmart IQ500 when turned on shows only startup screen.

    When I turn on the TouchSmart IQ500, it shows only startup screen.
    Pressing F11 (System recovery) does not affect anything.

    Pressing F9 - also no response.
    Please tell me what can be done?

    It sounds a LOT like a dead hard drive, running diagnostics would be a good place to start.

  • Late 2008 MacBook Pro won't boot; only gray screen with Apple, spinning gear, and then the mouse pointer.

    Thanks to all in advance! Okay, last night I was trying to encrypt a Time Machine BackUp disk (Seagate 500GB Back Up Plus) and a dialog box popped up and said "POSIX could not..." And then whatever was next. So I unplugged the drive, plugged it back in, and the files still showed up, so I was like "oh okay so it's not screwed up." The next I try and boot my MacBook Pro, and of course it doesn't. The gray screen comes up, the logo shows up, the gear is spinnin, the it goes away and the mouse shows up. But that's where it stops. And sits. And sits. And sits. So I force it to shut down. I run through this many more times, as well as attempting the Recovery Mode, Safe Boot, and to no surprise, it doesn't work. So I go grab my trusty Snow Leopard disc, pop it in, ctrl-C on start up and it loads. So I select the option of restoring from a Time Machine backup and plug in the external drive only to not see it in the list. So I go to Disk Utility, and find out that the entire external drive has been erased and renamed disk8s2. So I go to my internal drive, but it shows how much has been used and it matches to how much as of last night. So I tried repairing the disk and restarting and of course it doesn't work. So now I don't know what to do. Really I'll take any suggestions besides buying anything (I'm only a 16 year old guy haha). So yeah. Thanks!

    The encryption never actually followed through.
    You started it, though. That makes the volume inaccessible to any OS X version before 10.7.
