KDM: Logging off puts me in console mode

I have a weird problem with KDM.
Well, I run KDM from inittab using init 5. There is not conflicting entry of KDM inside rc.conf to cause an issue I had read about in this forum.
Now, ctrl+alt+backspace shortcut is enabled to restart X. When I do it, X restarts normally the way it should and I am back in KDM window.
But each time I use inbuilt logoff function in Xfce4.6 or KDE 4.3, I end up in console mode. Apparently I am still in init 5, because once I manually login and do a
sudo init 5
Nothing happens. But if I do
sudo init 3
I get a switching message.
After that I do a
sudo init 5 && exit
So that I can get back to login manager window.
Now, why does this happen ? I hate having to manually restart the login manager each time I use logout to switch to another user.
And yeah, is there any theme in KDM which shows a list of users I can login as ?
How do I ensure that only one instance of a user is logged in at a given moment and if I lock screen and go back to menu and login again, I go back to the same instance ?

Are you, by chance, using KMS with Intel Graphics? If so, check your /var/log/Xorg.0.log for signs that Xorg crashed when you logged out.
If you find such evidence, you might try (As a work around):
edit /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc and find the block labeled :
[X-:*-Core]
and add a line that reads:
TerminateServer=true
This forces KDM to restart the Xorg server after you log out. I think the original purpose of this option was to force the clean up of memory leaks, but it works well for this purpose.

Starting J2EE server in console mode

Hello Everyone,
I have just installed WAS 640 SP3 J2EE only on AIX5.2 unix server. J2ee server starts and stops without any problem. I can even see the J2EE engine through the web.
Administrator user is locked because of the wrong password entries. I am trying to follow OSS note : 669848, it explains how to unlock Administrator user for SP3 systems which requires to stop the Java instance and start it console mode by jlaunch. when I run the following command after setting the LIBPATH to /usr/sap/NWS/JC00/j2ee/os_libs, but it never put me the console mode.
"jlaunch -file=/usr/sap/NWS/JC00/j2ee/cluster/instance.properties -nodeName=ID1693850 pf=/usr/sap/NWS/SYS/profile/NWS_JC00_cgunx130 -traceFile=tracefile3.log -startMode=console".
tracefile3.log shows the following error message at the end.

Is there any way to log off automatically from a WIFI connection every time the device is turned off or goes into sleep mode.

I have a bunch of Apple devices in my house (kids) and don't like the idea of all these devices (iPads, iPod touches, iPhones) always being connected to my home WIFI. Ideally, I would prefer the devices connect automatically when they are in use by a human and log off the network when they (the devices) go to sleep mode or are turned off.

This is not an answer, more of a question. I know that when a pad goes to sleep, it drops the connection. We all remember the thousands of posts from folks who had trouble re establishing the connection after waking up in the early days. What is different now is the use of push, and notifications. If you have these enabled, doesn't that mean that the wifi needs to stay active?
I notice that I have notifications on the screen that came in while asleep, and I can only believe that the wifi saw them. This is different from the old behavior or re grabbing the wifi.
So, to Pam, on one the devices you are concerned about, turn off notifications, fetch and push, put it to sleep, and see if it drops off the network. I am kind of curious.
By the way, having the wifi active has not shown me any battery usage. The router certainly does not care. Security is at the router end, so if somebody wants to hijack my signal, it does not matter if the pad is active or not. So I guess I am not clear either on what your issue might be.

Hello there, am new here and very stressed, i have an Imac core i3 which is logging off itself after a few seconds of login, it goes back to the login menu where i put the password. I have tried to repair the os but my pioneer rom is not reading the disk.

Hello there, am new here and very stressed, i have an Imac core i3 which is logging off itself after a few seconds of login, it goes back to the login menu where i put the password. I have tried to repair the os but my pioneer rom is not reading the disk. I press the :c" button on startup but its not picking up the disk in the rom, i have tried to put the disk in an external rom but same answer, am starting to think that my os disk is bad. Please help me.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Global console messages: user has logged off pts/#

The root user and my user both get messages similar to these printed to the console:
ashley has logged off pts/1 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged off pts/2 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged off pts/9 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged off pts/11 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged off pts/14 from dnab403c32.
imk1 has logged on pts/11 from bio-hbf03.
ashley has logged on pts/1 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged on pts/2 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged on pts/9 from dnab403c32.
ashley has logged on pts/10 from dnab403c32.
I am not sure if other users also get these messages. It isn't necessarily bad to have these messages displayed, but for some reason I cannot figure out what setting controls it. Nothing in rsyslog except emergency messages is set to print to the console. Searching the man pages and google doesn't help me much - but I might just be searching stupidly.
Does anyone know why these messages are displayed?
Thank you,
Mike

Every time I turn the computer off or put it in sleep mode... when I come back my wallpaper is gone. I have to keep going to my pics and getting it back. Does anyone know why this keeps happening??

Are you choosing it from one of these folders (in my screenshot) or you can also put that picture into the correct folder. The path is:
HD > Library > Desktop Pictures
If you add it to the folder manually, please restart your computer.
And yes, letting it sleep is a good idea, or else the startup disk will spin and the screen may suffer from image persistence if you leave a window or image parked in the same spot too long, so the screensave is a good idea.

I have put Ipod in restore mode and about 1/2 way through download it goes back to message "disabled type in passcode" ?? I have turned off all security and all trouble shooting ideas, any suggestions?? besides paying $$$$ to apple tech support

What appears to be happensin is that before the actual download finishes/restore starts. the recovery mode is timing out. I would do a manual download using the instructions here:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Then place the iPod in Recovery mode and restore using the instructions in the link.

Is it best to turn off your computer or put it in sleep mode.

Is it best to turn off your computer or put it in sleep mode.
I have a MAC Book Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo

Well. Apple recommends to put the Mac into sleep mode if you are going to use your Mac after a short period of time, and they only recommend to turn it off when you are not going to use the computer for several days.
In sleep mode, your Mac consumes only a small battery capacity, so it's worth to put it in sleep mode. Also, it's much faster than turning the computer on every time you want to use the Mac

If it is jailbroken, we are not allowed to help you with that here. You'll need to seek out other sources of help. The jailbreaking could potentially be part of the problem, for all I know.
BTW, just a pointer... punctuation is your friend! Your post was very difficult to read without any. Many people will simply stop reading and click the "back" button when encountering something like that, which limits availability of help to you.

My iphone 4 has switched off by itself and won't switch back on. The battery wasn't dead, I have tried restarting it and have tried to put it into recovery mode but it still won't switch back on?

Try a reset, hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
