Gnome desktop does not open
Hi,
After installing Solaris 10 on some of the systems in my workplace the gnome desktop does not open. The installation was uneventful. Seemed completely successful. On my IBM systems it works just fine. Yet though the Common Desktop Environment opens ok, the gnome desktop environment does not open at all on my cloned system. How do I fix this?
Martin.

As a security measure dtlogin is disabled by running it on port 0
instead of the default port 177
milly / # ps -ef | grep dtlogin
root 530 1 0 Aug 06 ? 0:00
/usr/dt/bin/dtlogin -daemon -udpPort 0
To remove the port argument run,
svccfg -s cde-login setprop dtlogin/args=\"\"
svcadm restart cde-login
NB If cde-login enters maintenance state run,
svcadm clear cde-login
Remote graphical login still not working also had to,
svccfg -s x11-server setprop options/tcp_listen=true # false by
default
svcadm restart cde-login
svcadm enable svc:/application/x11/xfs:default # disabled
by default
CDE now working but not Java desktop system!
Modified the /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf file,
[xdmcp]
#Enable=false
Enable=true
and restarted gdm login service,
svcadm restart svc:/application/gdm2-login:default

Desktop does not open in finder
H there,
I really do not know, what I have done, but suddenly it is no longer possible to open the desktop in finder. When trying to open I receive the following error message:
"There is not standard application to open this document."
Any hints or tips to solve this problem are very welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten.Have you tried restarting the computer? Have you tried this:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X. -
I am trying to use powerpoint but when I open a document I want to work on it does not open on my desktop. It appears as open on mission control but it disappears offscreen. How can I get it to open where i need it and can work on it?
It's almost certainly too late.

When I open a new website, the page does not open, instead it places a tab in the bottom task bar? How can I change the settings so as when I open a new website the page is automatically displayed on my desktop. Thank You!
Tools > Options > Tabs - is the last preference there check-marked??

When I click to open Mozilla icon on my desktop, the page does not open & I cannot access it unless I type it in an Internet Explorer page? When clicking on the Icon sometimes it will flash to the right of my desktop screen but does not open for access.
Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.
I have tried a several times to repairing permissions, restarting the mac, relaunched Finder, but no difference.
I copied the download folder to the dock...there I can open the files, but not deleting them or copying them.
When I open finder, then I click on the folder Download, after a while of thinking, it throws me out and back to the desktop.
already tried to sign in with the guest user account, then I am able to open the download folder.(but not seeing my files)
When I am trying to change the download folder in Safari, it also throws me out and gives me a error report ,for sending to Apple.
I think it's a settings fault or i think my download folder is locked. Almost desperat, already called support center,
They couldn't help, for free, due the 90 days free online help i have reached. If I want to solve this problem, they could try it , but it cost me almost 50 euros.
hope there is someone, who's knowing this problem.
By the way, I think it also could be that I dragged some downloaded music to the desktop, and dragged some folder that has the settings. Now its changed???
Or I was downloading something, and deleted the files in the download folder while it was unpacking and reparing the files.
It's not easy for a beginner Mac user (3 months) to already solve this problems.
Can you follow me? And seems this problem familiar to you?
Thanks in advance -
I downloaded a the firefox upgrade version 4.o. I have the icon on my desktop. However, when I double click the icon, nothing happens. The Firefox browser does not open. What's up?
Jeff KatchenCreate a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-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" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Hi, I have downloaded itunes on windows 7,when I click the icon on my desktop nothing happens,does anyone know why itunes does not open?
If you only changed the name of your ID rather than creating a new ID, just go to Settins>iCloud and tap Delete Account then sign back in with the new name. (Deleting the account from your phone does not delete it from iCloud. Your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.)
If you created a new ID, you'll have to go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn all data you are syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. When prompted choose to keep the data on your iPhone. (If you are syncing iWork documents with iCloud, also open your iWork apps and turn off iCloud syncing and choose to keep the documents on your phone.) After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Next, set up a new iCloud account using your other ID, then turn syncing for your data (contacts, etc.) back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to your new account.
You won't lose any photos in your camera roll or photo library. If you have any photos in your photo stream that are over 30 days old that are not in your camera roll or saved on your computer, be sure to save these to the camera roll before deleting the account. To do so, open the photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos you need to save to select them, tap Share, then tap Save to Camera Roll. -

Mail shows in the doc, but when clicked or doubled clicked does not open on the desktop, HELP !
Try restarting your Mac.
Open Termimal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal)Try entering this command: killall Dock, and then hit enter
Try dragging the Mail icon out of the dock, then let it disappear in a puff of smoke. Then from Applications/Mail try dragging the Mail icon back into the dock, and see if it works.
Does Mail open otherwise? Like if you try opening it from your Applications folder?if it doesn't:
Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
if that doesn't work: reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

I can only open one Firefox browser window. When I click the firefox icon from desktop or taskbar to open up another browser window it does not open. I am ablt to open up new tabs within the one window.
Have you tried: click Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Window (if using the Menu Bar)
Once open, Firefox locks the Profile that is in use and you can not open another window with that Firefox version and Profile combination using the Windows Desktop icon or the Windows Programs list. -

I installed the new Firefox version but it does not open on screen..
It does not automatically open on completion of the install and it does not open when I click on the logo on my desktop or Quick Start bar. It looks like it is starting but nothing happens.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with the same result.
When I try to uninstall I have to shut down first or the uninstall tells me firefox is running. Starter manager does not show this.Why not? What happens when trying to use it?
"Will not work" is useless when asking for help. Without specifics, no assistance can be provided. -

Hi Stephen,
What version of MS Office are you using?
Are you facing the issue similar to that mentioned here: Acrobat/Reader: Attach to Email button not working for PDFs referenced from long URLs
Open Acrobat. Use the click-path Edit - Preferences - select the Category "Email Accounts". In the dialog there is the "Add Account" drop-down. Select "Add Other". The "Add Webmail Account" dialog presents. You'll fill out the dialog's fields with Outlook.com settings. (don't forget the "Advance Settings" button)
From a look-see on the web it appears that the following are the needed settings. BUT, you'll be wanting to validate.
The Outlook.com SMTP server settings for sending outgoing messages from an email program on desktop, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com SMTP server address: smtp.live.com
• Outlook.com SMTP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com SMTP password': Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com SMTP port: 587
• Outlook.com SMTP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
For incoming messages from an Outlook.com account to an email program using POP, use the Windows Live Hotmail POP3 server settings.
The Outlook.com POP server settings for downloading new incoming messages to email program, cell phone or mobile device are:
• Outlook.com POP server address: pop3.live.com
• Outlook.com POP user name: Your full Outlook.com email address (not an alias)
• Outlook.com POP password: Your Outlook.com password
• Outlook.com POP port: 995
• Outlook.com POP TLS/SSL encryption required: yes
