KDE window borders disappear when 2 or more users logged in

I spent a very frustrating Saturday afternoon trying to debug what I thought was a corrupted kde install. In short, if someone would try this & see if you get the same results, I'd appreciate some feedback:
- Logged in through KDM as a regular user or root
- After KDE is loaded, click on the Kicker button > Switch User > Start new session
- Login as another user (or root)
- At this point, when I look at any window in my new KDE session, its borders are gone... IE I have no buttons or borders showing with app I'm using, thus I can't click on the X or other buttons to minimise/close/resize the app in question
- It makes no difference which account I log into first...I experimented with trying to log in as root first, then as a user or vice versa
I tried to install the user account several times using various methods but the issue persisted. I ended up trying an entirely different account and saw the same results which made me realize that my account I'd started with is not corrupted at all. This leads me to believe there is either a strange bug in KDE or some system setting I'm using is forcing this behaviour in my installation. I'd like to find out which is true or not true.
Feedback welcome.

webweave,
Welcome to the Apple discussions!
Generally, as discussed above, having 2 mount points for the same disk in the volumes folder won't prevent a successful backup. But in your case (#15!), that's a problem. More often than not, they are being created by Time Machine because you already have one or more instances of the Time Capsule disk mounted on your desktop. Ejecting the TC disk when it is not needed is the best way to avoid creating multiple mount points.
If you have any further questions, please post them in a new thread. You can refer back to this discussion with a link if necessary.
Cheers!

Error on Production Orders Add-on when 2 or more users at the same time.

Hi.
Our add-on creates special production orders (SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderTypeEnum.bopotSpecial) with no problem when used by one user, but if there are two or more users everyone on his own SAPBO session it starts to throw different errors, we think it may be a concurrence problem due to several transactions.
Here a short brief of the code sample and the process:
(error handling and object members not included in the sample)
oDoc.ProductionOrderType = SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderTypeEnum.bopotSpecial
If the oDoc.Add() is correct, We get the last production order created and release it:
Me.sKey = Me.Company.GetNewObjectKey
oDoc = Me.Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oProductionOrders)
oDoc.GetByKey(Me.sKey)
oDoc.ProductionOrderStatus = SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderStatusEnum.boposReleased
oDoc.Update()
Then we go for an inventory Entry:
oDoc = Me.Company.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInventoryGenEntry)
oDoc.DocDate = Date.Now
oDoc.Lines.BaseEntry = Me.sKey
oDoc.Add
And Finally to close the production order:
oDoc.ProductionOrderStatus = SAPbobsCOM.BoProductionOrderStatusEnum.boposClosed
oDoc.Update()
This works fine when only one user is using the add-on, but in the end there wil be at least eight users simultaneously working with this add-on
The test:
We have four users creating production orders with the add-on.
Two of them get the usual success messages and the created documents in SAPBO are all correct.
The other two users get diferrent errors messages during the process.
If they wait and try again to run the process it works fine.
Repeating the test get errors on different users depending on which one started the process first.
Our client needs to generate beetwen 900 and 1200 production orders per day, so they can't wait until the process is free for each user to work with it.
The common erros detected are:
Changing the status of the production order:
-5002 - The warehouse is not defined for the item.
-4002 - To generate this document,
first define the numbering series in the Administration module
-1029 - Field cannot be updated
Adding the production order and inventory entry:
-2038
-1116
-5002
Regards,
Omar Fonseca

The start transaction model didn't Fit well with all the process we are doing, but the idea of locking or holding the other users seems to work pretty fine, we are now using a flag to determine if someone is doing the process and put in hold the new ones.

Windows explorer disappears when I access my usb 3 hd

Hi all,
I'm having a very bizarre and infuriating problem where windows explorer often shuts down on me unexpectedly when I am accessing information on my usb 3 western digital hard drive that is attached via my docking station. I have spent about 2 weeks trying to work out what is going on and despite my attempts to fix it recurs....
I have the latest updates from Lenovo
I have the latest bios
I have the latest Windows updates (running Windows 7 Professional 64 bit)
I have the latest intel usb 3 driver for my T430 (core i7 3520M)
I have the latest firmware and drivers for the WD My Passport HD
I have had the docking station replaced by Lenovo
None of this has helped, so if anyone can advise that would be really appreciated as this weird windows explorer issue is making things unworkable for me. I am led to believe that this is a usb 3 issue specifically because the windows explorer issues doesn't seem to happen when the WD HD is plugged into a usb 2 port (or at least for the couple of hours I was running it in that port explorer didn't die).
Michael.

I'm wondering if Windows is maybe shutting down the USB 3.0 to save power?
Unfortunately I don't have a system here with 3.0 but maybe you could take a peek in the properties of the controller in device manager to see if there is a power management option to allow Windows to turn it off as with USB 2.0 and other hardware.

In the Calendar app in Yosemite, how can I prevent the event's details window to disappear when transferring focus to another app?

When you click on an event to get the full details in a separate window, like a phone number for the meeting, if you move to another app like Skype the details window hides and you cannot look at the comments.
This is kind of annoying.

It's not iDVD that opens when you insert a burned DVD, It's DVD Player. Set the Apple preferences to igonre when inserting a video DVD. You will have to launch DVD Ripper manually and locate and open the VOB folder on the DVD disk.

Script Objects Disappearing when 2 or more XDP's are stitched together

We use Adobe Form Server.
We would like to use Script Objects in our forms. Unfortunately, when we stitch two or more forms together, only the first script objects [contained in the first form] remain. The other script objects [in each additional form] fall off.
The script objects are unique to the form and are named differently (ie. "GlobalFunctions_8190" vs "GlobalFunctions_200878").
How can we correct this? Is it how the Form Server was set up?
Please help.

Just in playing with it, I added an extra ${endif} at the end of the network section and the error went away. Since I only have one network connection, I don't know if it breaks something else or not.

Fold down window just disappears when trying to bind to AD

We're switching back to Macs!!
In preparation I'm trying to bind my MacBook (10.5.6) to the Windows server (I've done this successfully at another school).
When I go to Directory Access, click the + , put in the info, the fold down window goes away and nothing happens, I'm pretty ignorant so be gentle.

AD is already enabled, I'm bound at another location. Just when when I click the + to add this one, fill it out and click OK,it folds away and nothing happens, I tried putting in rubbish and I get the same, no error messages, it just folds up and ignores me. I did create a computer for this Macbook on the AD server.

It seems that Emerald is really unstable and keeps crashing when you try to use Application Switcher (Alt + Tab).
Just use GTK Window decorator until the problem is fixed.

PE9 Organizer (mac) - thumbnails disappear when there are more than 5 columns

The thumbnails in my Organizer are slow to load, and if I move the slider bar to the left to show more thumbnails they are replaced with the hourglass, and the comment 'building thumbnails' appears bottom left. The thumbnails do not reappear unless I increase the size to five columns or less.
I have disabled media analysis in preferences; I have run a repair on the catalogue; I have selected all the photos and selected 'update thumbnail'. None of this has helped.
I am running PE9 on a Mac, and have about 20,000 photos in my catalogue.
Can anyone help?

Until the Thumbs are completely generated I have the same problem. After they are all generated all is okay. This only happens after I bring in very large folders of photos. Also, look at the space just to the right of the date in the bottom left corner of the screen. If the software is busy you will see a spinning wheel. Any time it is spinning the software will be very slow.

Username disappear when login with saved user credentials

hi,
I am trying to login to a SSL enabled site; I have already stored my username password with FF.
but when I try to login here what happens.
* Typing my username and select the same from the dropdown.
* once I click on the username
* password field filled and the username disappears.
Do you have any soulition for this?
Regards,
Bromount.

Does this happen on all pages where you try to login and have an name and password saved?
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

How can I separate playlists from different libraries when two or more users do login in the same computer?

We've got two computers. I access my iTunes on both of them. I've got an iPod nano. But another user access his own iTunes account in one of these computers. He's got an iPhone. When I login in this one, I share all my playlists with him, and vice-versa. How do I do to separate these libraries without deleting one of them?

JSP session getting destroyed when second user logs in

Hi,
I am facing a session related problem in a small login program in jsp. I am using three jsp pages, login.jsp (user logs in), page1.jsp (creates a session and stores username) and page2.jsp (accesses session).
Login.jsp:
No jsp actually. Just a simple html form.
Page1.jsp:
String name=request.getParameter("Name");
session=request.getSession(true);
session.setAttribute("Name",name);
Page2.jsp:
session=request.getSession(false);
if(session.isNew())
System.out.println("new session created");
String name=session.getAttribute("Name").toString();
As expected, it works like session getting set at page1 and used at page2. It works good if users log in one by one. The problem arises when 2 (or more users with different logins) try to access the page at same time. When a new user logs in, the previous user session gets destroyed (session.isNew() becomes true and session Id changes).
Is it the way I am using sessions (missing something), or there is some setting in tomcat server to specify maximum number of logins (sessions that can be handled).
Regards
Kamal

Hi,
Thanks for reply, but I guess the problem is not clear. Let me explain..
A user logs in, he reaches first page (page1.jsp), here session is getting set. Then user goes to page2.jsp where application retrieves the information from session and uses it. It works all well.
When two (or more) user logs in.. First user logs in, he reaches page 1, session is set. But then another user logs in (different id) and a session is set for him as well. Now the problem here is that session for first user gets destroyed at this point, which is unexpected (two sessions should not conflict, on different machines).
Additionally, the problem does not happen necessarily at second login. eg. sometimes 4 users log in and when fifth one logs in, fourth gets logged out (session gets destroyed).
I am not able to figure out, whether the problem is in code (given in first post) or there is some tomcat setting responsible for this behavior.
Regards
Kamal

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.

Is there anyway to get an App Tab to stay when I close the program then reopen it?...they always disappear when I open a new window etc.
And I thought the whole point of an App Tab was to always have those tabs there no matter what window is open all the time period.
It's a minor complaint but I would really appreciate the option to permanently have them there.

I thought that app tabs would be more persistent, like pinning programs to the taskbar in Windows, but this is not the case.
Instead, once you close a Firefox window, all its tabs and app tabs are lost.
Essentially, this means that the close button in the upper-left corner of a Firefox window is now a "kill all open tabs and loose all App Tabs without warning++ " button. That is not cool.
I realize that "Firefox > Quit Firefox" behaves as intended, but many people use the more obvious red close button instead of the menu to close windows on a Mac. And it is easy to forget that the red button is now also an app-tab-death button. I've lost my app tabs many times to this issue. It is an unforgiving user interface decision which hampers the usability of app tabs. Why should I go through the extra clicks of setting up app tabs if I can loose them so easily?
Ideally, App Tabs could be saved separately from the currently open windows (perhaps create an option to save then to a special Tab Group that opens on startup?). App tabs would be exceedingly useful to me if they weren't so easy to loose.
On that note, saving Tab Groups would also be a useful functionality.
++ You will get a "closing multiple tabs" warning if you have only one window open, and that one window has multiple non-app tabs open, and you have enabled the warning in Preferences. But this too unreliable to help prevent the loss of app tabs.

When I minimize firefox, the icon at the bottom of window screen disappeared.

* When I minimized the FireFox window, the icon at the bottom of the window screen disappear. I have no way to get the window out anymore, but to initiate another instances of Firefox.
* Recently I found that Firefox start up is tremendously slow. It seems to slow down my pc a lot too.

it says hide in the menu but the window is not showing. the only way to get the window to show is the drag 4 fingers down but then it goes away again if i click on window.
