KeePassX won't start in Plasma Desktop 5

When I try to start KeePassX in Plasma Desktop 5, on the terminal it outputs:
$ keepassx
No systemtrayicon available
And then seems to hang until I press Ctrl+C. No windows or tray icon appear.

Hi,
no problem for me. Do you have sni-qt installed? Maybe it could help…

Always mirrors (won't start with extended desktop)

Since upgrading to leopard, I have the following problem: Whenever I plug my MacBook into a particular external monitor (a projector with 800 X 600 resolution), it automatically goes into mirroring mode - even if I last used it in extended desktop mode. I can then turn off mirroring, but all my windows have shrunk (to fit 800 x 600) and have moved. I leave mirroring off when I unplug - but then the next time I plug in, the same thing happens. I want it to start in extended desktop mode, and not automatically enter into mirroring mode. Any ideas?

10.9.3 and 10.9.4 have known issues with displays attached via Thunderbolt (for example see here Second display problem with 10.9.4 and 10.9.4 - Thunderbolt display for 6630M (Mini mid-2011) still broken ).

MBP won't start, stuck at desktop screen

I use my computer every day for work, it's a MPB 2.16 intel core duo
2 gigs of ram running the very latest os-x available.
alot of the site I use for work only work on Internet explorer 6 or better, so I downloaded an application called ies4osx which uses an X11 script to run a windows version of internet explorer. worked perfectly at first, but as the day went on my computer started getting very slow. I'd quit, still slow, and after a restart it would pick up again. So after a few times restarting (normally, not forced), I started it up, and it went to the desktop background picture (no menus icons etc), and the mouse is there, and switches between the mouse, and the spinning wheel. The mouse will move, but that is the only response the computer will give.
I restarted from the install disk, ran permissions and disk repair, no issues found.
I would archive and install, but it requires 11 gigs and i only have 6 free.
I really need all the info on here for work, and i need the computer itself. I'm using an iBook G4 i had around the house now.
does anyone have any ideas? I have both computers here at work with me all day. Will target disk mode work between the G4 and the intel? Any ideas are more than welcome

OK now i'm frustrated beyond all belief, i'm about to go throw this MBP at someone at the apple store
I cleared room (about 18gigs in total) and did an archive and install.
So now I have all my files/preferences in a "Previous Systems" folder.
So my mac looks like a new mac, minus the ~45 gig folder, doing nothing, and i'm down to 4 free gigs (18 before i archived/installed)
So now that I've archived and installed, how do i get my programs, preferences etc back to where they were? I can't just drag and drop because it wants to copy everything instead of move it.
I'm beyond frustrated at this point. and i don't think my boss is too happy that all i've been doing all day is screwing around with this pos computer.(which wasn't priced as a pos!!)

[Solved] plasma-desktop won't start by itself

Not sure what I did but when I try to log in to KDE 4.5, via KDM, slash screen does it's thing, and then I end up with a session that doesn't have plasma-desktop. I have to run plasma-desktop from krunner (Alt+F2) to start it. How do I get it to start on its own again?
EDIT: In trying to change KDE to use the raster graphics system I misspelled it. Dumb.

Not only this, but that the crash message keep pop-up, which compelled me to send a first report, the second report, etc. a lot of reporting and the problem is still there! So I then tried to fix the Firefox browser by clicking on the re-start Firefox and even reset Firefox but this did not work \\!
So right now I use Chrome browser in order to report the problem

My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

My Macbook pro often won't start up since I installed Lion, and I have to shut it down using power button. My desktop icons don't appear and the dock won't open. I only have the little circle of color spinning endlessly. What's wrong now!

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, 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.

My mac desktop computer won't start and just beebs

My mac desktop computer won't start it just beens loudly. I don't have any lights showing on the keyboard but can hear the drive switching on. I have unplugged the computer, waited and replugged and waited and then turned it on again without and results. Please help.

Use this tip to identify your Mac:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6413
If indeed it has a PowerPC processor (the PowerMacs use that, and have been around since early 2006 simultaneously with some of the Intels), see this tip on beeps:
Power On Self-Test Beep Definition - Part 2
If it is Intel, see this tip:

Won't start properly because of too much stuff on desktop - how do I delete stuff if it won't start up now?

I was trying to move photos to an external hard drive because my startup disk was full and I accidentally dropped them onto the desktop. Now my computer won't start properly because of all the stuff on the desktop and I don't know how I can fix that?

Start up in safe mode. Hold the Shift key while your Mac is starting and check that you can start up in safe mode. Then, choose all the items you want to transfer in Desktop by pressing Command and A keys, and move them to the external drive.
If you have any file in Desktop that you don't want to transfer, simply click it while pressing the Command key

My desktop won't start

I have a treo 680 unlocked and installed missing synch software on my new macbook pro leopard. I started using the sync function and was getting used to the weird looking (compared to desktop on windows) desktop presentation when I noticed that I wass getting all kinds of duplication and even triplication on my syncs. I ttied to solve that problem with help from missing sync but to no avail. I decide to try and start over.
So I uninstalled missing sync andI went back to my PC and cleaned up my handheld with my PC desktop. I couldn't uninstall desktop for mac so I reinstalled missing sync and did a hot sync. I then noticed I would have the same problem as i got a notice from missing sync that I had more than 5% sync to do. I wondered how that could be because this was supposed to be a new sync with no info on my desk top. I stopped the hot sync function and tried to see what was going on by opening my desktop. I tried it several times. I tried downloading mac desktop again and re-installing it. That didn't work, I kept getting the message that I had the most recent version on my mac and that I couldn't re-install.
So that brings me to my original subject statement.
My desktop won't start so that I can clean everything ou and do a start over sync. Please someone help!!!

Has this ever been resolved? It looks like it's 5 months old and I don't see any replies. I saw this and immediately thought of the DEP(Data Execution Protection) feature that is a characteristic of Windows Vista. If you go to your control panel,to system, to advanced system settings, and then click the settings button in the performance section, the DEP is the third thumnail to the right(should be the last one there). This is where you can turn it on or off and add programs for it to ignore.
However, usually when it's the DEP that kills a program unexpectedly, the operating system has usually made it known to the user that it was the DEP.

Upgraded desktop software won't start

In a moment of complete insanity I allowed my desktop software to be updated - last time I did this I couldn't sync for over a month.
Naturally the install didn't do smoothly and now the software won't start.....
The processes start, and I can kill them in windows task manager, but the software crashes - I get the 'program has stopped working' message - before it even finishes starting.
Since all my email and calendar applications are web based I shouldn't need to sync at all, my Android tablet doesn't need to, I just point it at my online calendar and hey presto! it's all synced.

I have the exact same issue. Have already tried reinstalling (repairing) by downloading from website to no avail. Can someone help please?

i removed/moved the "~/.kde4" directory and every thing returned as usual and if you have some themes/dolphin plugins/ksplash themes ... you can make backup and copy theme to the new "~/.kde4" directory

Desktop manager won't start, sometimes

Edit: I have migrated from kdm to sddm and the problem is just the same.
I have a really weird problem with my laptop (Lenovo E335):
Sometimes, when I boot/reboot my laptop, kdm is started correctly, but other times (maybe more often) kdm won't start, and I need to login as root in a terminal, and run:
$ systemctl restart kdm
After doing this, kdm is always restarted correctly.
Whenever I boot/reboot the system, before kdm is started or fails, I see always these text lines in the console:
[FAILED] Failed to start Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:acpi_video
See "systemctl status systemd-backlight@backlight:acpi_video2.service" for details.
Starting Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:radeon_bl0...
[OK] Started Load/Save Screen Backlight Brightness of backlight:radeon_bl0.
When kdm fails, the boot process ends with this screen, and then I have to press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to open the terminal.
When this happens, these lines can be read in /var/log/Xorg.0.log:
(EE) Screen0 deleted because no matching config section.
(II) UnloadModule: "radeon".
(EE) Device(s) detected, but none match those in the config file.
(EE) no screens found(EE)
What puzzles me is that this only happens sometimes, apparently randomly.

I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and now my MacBook Pro won't start up.

I was messing around with .kext files in the MacintoshHD and moved the system.kext and two others to my desktop and deleted the originals and now the MacBook Pro won't start up. All I get at start up is the apple icon then a bunch of text shows up part of which says Mac OS version: not yet set. then the apple icon turns into the power icon and tells me to turn off the computer. I've tried reinstalling from the install DVD by holding down option when powering on and selecting the install DVD and it just goes to a white screen with the apple icon and stays like that. I didn't have the disk utility on my Mac before this happened because I deleted it to make room on my computer a while ago so I'm not sure if that's why it won't load the install DVD but anyone who knows the solution to this with out going to get it repaired would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Never mind my dad just found the original install DVD and that worked. Before I was using an install disc that Apple sent me for another issue I was having, but thanks for replying so quickly and trying to help on this Thanksgiving day!!!

Macbook Pro won't start most of the time; freezes constantly.

I always come to these forums for answers and I've always found them, so I thank you in advance for everything you do. Unfortunately, I can't find an answer for this one...
My Macbook Pro 13" (early 2008?, maybe mid-2008?) had a weird thing happen this morning where a whole bunch of applications froze up. I could still move the mouse, though. It got so bad that I just shut my computer down by holding the power button. When I tried to restart, it came up with a gray screen and nothing happened. Then I tried it again, and it couldn't find the startup directory (folder with question mark). I then restarted the computer and held down option, specifying the start-up directory as the hard drive. It accepted the command, but didn't start up, so I was forced to power it down again. I then tried to repeat this, but when I pressed the option key just after start-up, it just shut down immediately. This happened several times.
Some hours later I got the computer to start up again after using the restore disk (option, then select), and reinstalling Mavericks. I was able to run disk utility, which showed no problems with the hard drive. I looked at console and I'm getting constant error messages for a variety of reasons:

I'm running the computer right now, and nothing has gone wrong, yet. Of course, the error messages are still there, so I don't think anything has changed, I'm just trying to run as few applications as possible and I'm only on this website.

I get the sense that there's a lot of crap on this computer that I ought to get rid of, but I'm not sure if this is causing the problem.
Also, I just installed 10.9.3 yesterday.
Thanks again for any help you can provide!

Well, the computer stopped starting up at all. It could never find the operating system. I tried safe mode and virtually every other non-standard start-up option. I then did target disk mode with another MBP and got the message: "The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer." I then tried using disk utility and it couldn't retrieve retrieve the data using restore (writing to an external drive). I suspect that this means the hard drive would need to be replaced. In your expert opinions, is this necessarily true? Could this still be just a software problem, or perhaps some other piece of hardware?
Part of the reason I ask is that this laptop is now nearly five years old. It's needed a new battery for two years. If it's a virtual certainty that the hard drive is toast, I don't want to pay $150 for someone to take it out and try to recover any remaining data from it, only to reveal that the data is indeed irretrievable (since the computer itself is probably only worth $300-400 at this point). The nearest Genius Bar is also more than 2 hours away. Am I going about this the right way by using disk utility, given that the hard drive won't mount to the desktop of the other computer? If the hard drive can't be reat in target disk mode, does that confirm that it is the hard drive?
Thanks
Oh also, it does still make the startup noise, even though I can't run the AHT since I can't get it to start up in safemode. I thought this mean that it passing various hardware tests. Does this not apply to the hard drive?
