  • [SOLVED] Can't get GDM to run - what am I doing wrong?

    Alright, I'm running a fresh, up to date install of Arch in a virtual machine, and I'm consistently unable to get GDM to work properly. I pretty much followed the beginners' guide, and tried reinstalling from scratch several times. I've installed gdm, gnome, gnome-extra, dbus, and anything else the wiki recommends, like virtualbox-archlinux-additions. I edited /etc/inittab and /etc/rc.conf accordingly.
    Relevant lines in /etc/inittab:
    #Boot to X11
    id:5:initdefault:
    x:5:respawn:/usr/sbin/gdm -nodaemon
    Relevant lines in /etc/rc.conf:
    MODULES=(vboxguest vboxsf vboxvideo)
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus network crond)
    When I start the virtual machine, it displays the CLI login interface along with a bunch of warnings:
    Arch Linux 3.4.4-2-ARCH (tty1)
    vbox login: gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.271335 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011053 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.011250 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010699 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010361 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: display lasted 0.010921 seconds
    gdm-binary[388]: WARNING: GdmDisplay: GdmLocalDisplayFactory: maximum number of X display failures reached: check X server log for errors
    After that, I can still log in just fine, though I obviously never get into any desktop environment because of it. I have no idea where to find the X server log. I skimmed through /var/log, but couldn't find any log file with remotely helpful contents besides 'gdm'. The contents of the 'gdm' file:
    ** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Failed to acquire org.gnome.DisplayManager
    ** (gdm-binary:519): WARNING **: Could not acquire name; bailing out
    I've been bashing my head against this problem for several days now, but been unable to actually fix it. Anyone feel like pointing out what I'm doing wrong or how to proceed?

    Aaaand figured it out thanks to that one. I skipped starting it manually in this VM; got it to work when started manually on a previous install, and hence assumed it'd be fine.
    Turns out, I was doing the installations of the base packages - # pacman -S xorg-server xorg-xinit xorg-server-utils - wrong somehow. I think I must've missed that step or something; installing xorg-server and xorg-server-utils through Pacman just now solved my problem.
    Thanks for the help. Much appreciated.
    EDIT: Wonder, you ninja you.

    The screen that says "Download Now" also shows the proposed iTunes version number (in the box below):
    Be sure it indicates 11.1.3.
    If it is, here's further troubleshooting:

  • I am so confused.  I just downloaded Itunes.  I set up an Apple ID with a password.  Now I want to purchase a song.  I can't do it.  I keep getting the message: This Apple ID has not yet been used with the Itunes Store.  What am I doing wrong?

    You haven't opened an account with that Apple ID in iTunes. Open iTunes and log in. A dialog will appear in which you need to enter your Apple ID and/or password. Below it you should see a link for creating a new account. Click on that link to get started.

    Make an appointment at the genius bar.
    If you went without an appointment, then it would make sense that you could be turned away.

    How can I get itunes to download and install?

    You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
    FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
    PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
    Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software.

    That being cleared up, a respectful request:
    Topic or subject titles should be clear, pertinent and concise so that individual users can tell at a glance if they can help or not.
    That field is not for attempting to fit your entire question in there.

  • Can,t open word,PDF or excel attachments that get sent to me what am I doing wrong?

    Can't open attachments like Word,excel or PDF files I get sent what am I doing wrong?

    What have you tried?  Ifmyou just tought the attachment, it will open in sort of a quick view mode.  For all of the file types you mentioned.  If you touch and hold, a small window will open and suggest other apps, if you have any loaded, that will also work with those file types.
    So what happens when you tap an attachment?

    Just got a new computer with Windows 8. Can't get Itunes to install. Checked with a clerk at Sam's Club who said it wouldn't install for her either.
    What do I need to do. Sent an email to Apple; but just got a computer generated response with no helpful advice.

    Do you get an error message when you try to install iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

  • Can not use my backup photos, what am I doing wrong?

    I am having problems using the photos from my external hard drive. I switch library, and get all the thumbs up in iphoto. When I try to edit them or export in any way, I am not allowed to. This is very frustrating, can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    n555:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The "!" in the edit window indicates that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file in the Originals folder. Check in the Originals folder to make sure you have the full sized image files in there.
    Did you rename or move any files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder? That's one way to get the situation you're experiencing but it would be only for those you tampered with. Since it's the entire library then you've probably fallen victim to the damaged database file problem that hit a lot of users.
    If the full sized image files are there you can try to rebuild the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options. I'm not optimistic that the rebuild will recover your library but it's worth a try.
    If the rebuild does not work you'll have to start a new library and import the image files from the damaged one as follows:
    1 - rename the iPhoto Library folder that's on the external HD.
    2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, select Create a new library, navigate to the external HD and do so.
    3 - with the new library open, drag the Originals folder from the old library into the open iPhoto window.
    This will give you a new library with the same rolls as the old one. However you'll lose your albums, slideshows, keywords, etc.
    To help protect from this type of problem in the future check out the tip at the end of my signature.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
