Kill the X

It is ridiculous that they took out the default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Backspace to kill X, but it is even worse that every version of Gnome and KDE seems to change how you reenable this.  How do I get this back in KDE 4.3.4?  Can we keep this up to date in the user guide?

If by "we" you mean "you" then sure.
Actually, I am not sure what you mean by user guide, but the Beginners' Guide and Xorg article are up-to-date..

    I mistakenly asked iTunes to download a TV series and I can't get it to stop trying to download it.   how do I kill the download?

    You've got to be freakin' kidding me. I'm in Brazil, I accidentally started a 2.2GB download that it says will take 592 minutes to download, and there's no way I can stop it and download something else until that first download finishes? I would have thought it was unthinkable 15 years ago that anyone would build an app that downloads things but doesn't allow the option of canceling the download, but in this day and age? So much for Apple making intuitive, user-friendly products.

  • Why it is taking too much time to kill the process?

    Hi All,
    Today,one of my user ran the calc script and the process is taking too much time, then i kill the process. I am wondering about one thing here even it is taking too long to kill the process, generally it will not take more than 2 sec. I did this through EAS.
    After that I ran Maxl statement
    alter system kill request 552599515;
    there is no use at all.
    Please reply if you have any solutions to kill this process.
    Thanks in advance.
    Ram.

    Hi Ram,
    1. Firstly, How much time does your calculation scripts normally run.
    2. While it was running, you can go to the logs and monitor where exactly the script is taking time .
    3. Sometimes, it does take time to cancel a transaction ( as it might be in between).
    4. Maxl is always good to kill ,as you did . It should be succesful . Check the logs what it says ,and also the "sessions" which might say "terminating" and finish it off.
    5. If nothing works ,and in the worst case scenarion , if its taking time without doing anything. Then log off all the users and stop the databas and start it .
    6. Do log off all the users, so that you dont corrupt any filter related sec file.
    Be very careful , if its production ( and I assume you have latest backups)

  • When closing my Firefox window, all processes are not closing requiring me to open task manager and kill the process before using Firefox again. Received recent upgrade and hasn't worked right since then.

    I open Firefox, use it, then close the window. Try to reopen Firefox and it fails with a message that a previous process is still running. Requires me to open Task Manager and kill the old process.

    Try to wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.<br />
    Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.

  • Only AT&T Could Kill the iPhone Experience

    Ever since I saw the demonstration of the iPhone, I thought it was going to be the coolest phone the mobile industry has ever seen. In the months that followed, all the information and videos that have trickled out of Cupertino has reinforced this notion. The hype surrounding the iPhone has grown to monumental proportions. The reviews that I've been reading in the newspapers and magazines have relayed that the actual iPhone experience lives up to just about all of the hype.
    I've been an AT&T or Cingular customer for just about 10 years now. When I've talked to friends and family about the iPhone, one consistent feeling that I've had is the ONLY thing that will KILL the iPhone experience is AT&T.
    For me, that is coming true. I have this beautifully engineered piece of hardware sitting on my desk plugged into the USB port on my Core Duo Macbook Pro. I'm staring at iTunes 7.3 and the "Your activation requires additional time to complete" screen. The same screen that has graced the face of my MacBook Pro since about 8:30PM EST.
    After getting this message, I called AT&T. I spoke with a customer service representative who told me that everything with the account was correct. My new iPhone had replaced the Treo 650 I was using previously. The MediaNET data package I had subscribed to was dropped in favor of the iPhone data plan.
    I checked my Treo 650 at about 9:30 PM and it was no longer registering on the AT&T network.
    At about 11:15PM EST, I decided to give AT&T another call. After my call was dropped by the IVR (I was on a land line), I finally got to speak with a customer service representative who asked me if I would mind holding while I was transferred to another group of individuals who could look deeper into my activation problems. After waiting on hold for thirty minutes, I decided to hang up and go to bed.
    Here it is Saturday morning at 10:20AM EST. I've been on the phone with AT&T for 28 minutes - waiting for the "Activation Support Group". I've been told that activation can take up to twenty-four hours to complete. I find this unacceptable. When I relayed this to the CSR, she politely apologized for the inconvenience and tried to comfort me (I guess that was her goal) by saying that a large number of people are in the same boat. I was told that there are "millions" of people trying to activate their phone and it just takes time.

    Macbook Pro Core Duo 2.16Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

    This is soooo ridiculous - you have to laugh otherwise you'll cry. Don't bother buying an iPhone now, wait a week. You can't do anything with it until AT&T catches up on activation.
    I posted this in the AT&T apple forum but I'll post here too, just for the record:
    Activation with an Old AT&T Wireless (not Cingular)
    Yes. I am one of those unfortunate loyal customers too.
    I have made 5 calls so far.
    Once last night to find out that the department I needed to 'fix' my account is shut for the evening and will re-open tomorrow at 7am.
    Second at 8:30a to find out that the 'Conversions' department I needed to 'fix' my account opens at 9a.
    Third at 9am to get my old AT&T rate plan changed. Only to find out later on-line that the customer service rep changed it to a $59.99 950 minute non-iPhone plan.
    Fourth, to get my rate plan changed to a $59.99 iPhone plan. The lady did not know how to do it and was going to transfer me to the 'Sync' department but dropped the call.
    Fifth, call again. Lady took my IMEI and ICCID numbers, set me up with a $59.99 iPhone (at last!). Now I am waiting for the Sync department to reset my device so I can go through activation again.
    Apparently its a 12-24 hours wait because AT&T was 'surprised' by the volume of iPhone purchases and I am waiting in-line behind people to be reset by the Sync department from last night.
    The iPhone is a beautiful device, its only flaw is AT&T.

  • The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless.

    The iOS 6.01 killed the Apple SD reader on my IPad 3 (purchased new in May). What gives Apple? Support phone call useless. iOS installed today November 3 and dialog box came up say device no longer supported.
    It's an Apple SD card reader (purchased the same week in Syracuse,NY) and it worked fine yesterday after part one of a Day of the Dead shoot in central Mexico.
    As a professional journalist I traveled with the iPad and a Nikon D80 and lenses and flash. My MacBook would be addded weight so this application (the iPad) fits the bill.
    I was in Paris for a month in October and shot thousands of photos. Often did not have wireless and used the iPad as a photo safe to store the photos.
    Back in the Paris apartment the Photostream worked great.
    So what gives Apple...I upgrade my Ipad 1 for an Ipad 3 and now it's useless in this application and the new iOS. Was there any warning or information that this would happen? Or did you test the iOs on the iPad 4? Afterall the iPad 3 is, what 5 months old?
    But, and a big BUT Apple, I can buy an iPad 4 and use the thunderbolt SD card reader. Is this how you become a world class company???
    Our next Apple purchase is not going to be that...was going to be an Ipad mini for my wife to use on the road in her job. She travels giving anesthesia.
    We are an Apple family....My first Apple was an Apple II and had a Newtown (that still works).
    And we now have an iPhone, 2 MacBookPros, 2 Apple TVs.
    My other computer is an old PC that works with my professional weather station and also interfaces with my ham radio. While I dislike the stability of Windows the system allows me to tinker and work with other devices.
    How can Apple not recognize that folks do want to do thing the way they have been and also abandon DVD/CD drives from computers yet at the same time Apple will sell you its own DVD/CD drive.
    I have always loved my early AppleII but had to abandon it for writing and editing  (early photo editing and design was still a dream then) because most companies "did not support Apple," I was told by corporate IT people. So a love hate period of using PCs.
    Now Apple does not support users but it will sell us the latest gadget. This is stupid marketing and wrong consumption by America.
    I don't want to trust the Cloud for everything and want the ability to edit and stroe photos with ease and not always reply on wi-fi.
    Maybe I should shell out $69 for tech support.

    Hey wmhwilson,
    first of all you are not addressing apple in these forums. We are all just users like you trying to help eachother out. I can almost guarantee they didn't pull the support for the card reader from ipad 3. As i have a nikon camera and d5000 and a card reader running on ipad 3 and i just did a import from the sd card after I read your comments. It could be a bug within your ipad. Try restarting the ipad, if you have everything back up to icloud do a full reset then restore from icloud.
    Second, going off on a tangent about apple and their business practices, in support forums which are user based, really wont get you much help. We come here to help people like you and there are way to many folks who go out venting and we all heard it before and kinda getting bit tired off it.
    Third, before doing proper diagnostics, rebooting, restoring ipad, using different SD card, try using usb connector directy to the camera, don't assume that apple pulled the plug on it. It could be a bug that slipped through testing however I highly doubt it since its working for me.
    So try rebooting, restoring ipad from icloud (if you have back up), try inserting a different SD card. Since you are photographer you must have more then one. Try using the other connector that comes with camera kit.

    Hi,
    I believe this would be your Prod system, so don't just cancel it but look at the job log. If it is still processing then don't kill it and wait for the change run to complete but if you can see that nothing is happening and it is stuck for a long time then you can go ahead and cancel it.
    But please be sure, as these kind of jobs can create problems if you cancel them in the middle of a job.

  • Many, many times in a session, I get this: Mozilla Firefox (Not Responding). Frustration is setting in when I have to kill the computer, and start all over again. Anger is beginning a slow burn, too.

    Since the latest version (don't even ask me) was downloaded and installed, many times in a session when I am browsing the net, or opening a text document or a spreadsheet, flipping back and forth, I'll have to stop and sit for an indeterminate amount of time because up on the header, I'll get the message Mozilla Firefox (Not Responding). When looking down toward the front of the laptop, I note the hard drive is going full bore, whole hog, whatever you want to call it. Sometimes after repeated hitting the "enter" key, the program will catch up, and begin functioning again. Other times, because the program is stuck, the laptop will overheat, causing me to manually shut down, wait a while while the hard drive cools, then restarting. When I have to manually kill the session, I cannot, repeat CANNOT get the machine shutdown programs to work.
    What the hell is wrong with Firefox with this crap?

    Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • Inhibit output per axis is always active, even if i KILL the axis in max

    Hi,
    I'm using pci-7344 with UMI-7774 and 3'rd party servo drive.
    everything works fine but the inhibit output signal on the axis,
    it is always ON and never changes state even when i press "Kill" the axis in MAX.
    I know that the inhibit output per axis on the UMI (wich ia named "Enable" in the UMI manual) is a combination logic
    of  some signals in the umi, for example: if the Fault signal is asserted then the "Enable" signal is asserted also.
     in order to debug the problem, i set the other signals that affect the "Enable" signal to value that i can be sure
    that will not affect the "Enable" signal, i do that so i can be sure that when i press KILL and Halt in MAX, the Enable sould be toggle off/on.
    The "Fault" input signal per axis on the UMI (User-supplied external Fault input (per axis)): i set the jumper in the UMI to "Active low", and connect the Fault+, Fault- to always be high, so the UMI
    always "think" that there is no errors from the servo drive.
    i made the wiring for the "fault on the UMI as described in :
    Figure 3-8. Example of Wiring a High-Side Switch to the Fault Input , page 3-10 in the UMI manual. 
    Same thing i do for the "Inhibit All" signal on the "Global Stop" connector on the UMI , as described here:Same for the Shutdown on this global stop connector.
    Now, i think, i can be sure that when pressing KILL the Enable sugnal need to change its state, nothing happened....
    i notice these thing: measuring the volt between the "Enable" pin on the axis
    and the Ciso, i get always +24VDC. is that should be 5V... ?
     there is a lot of names for the same signal that makes the debugging more difficult (Enable, INOUT1, INALL, inhibit output, per axis, etc...)
    P.S. i also can see any LED in the UMI that is Lit,  only the "Power V , Viso" LED is Lit.
    Please someone make this issue clear for all, cause i see a lot of posts in the forum of people who ask about
    the inhibit output per axis or in its other name "Enable" signal that output from the UMI per axis.
    Thanks

    Hello Eric,
    Thank you for your reply, i'm trying to solve this for long time.
    I follow your instructions about the switched on the UMI and setting the parameters in MAX, re-initilized and .. the problem is still there...
    These is the configuration i made, i hope that something here will help you to help me solving this problem:
    1.  I'm using only one Axis on the UMI, so i set in mac all other axis to disable in the Axis Configuration tab.
    2.  The Axis that i'm using (Axis4) configured in this way :
         in "Motion I/O Settings" tab of this axis:
         Forward, Reverse,Home Limit switches is all "Enabled" and "Active High Polarity"
         Software Limit setting (Forward and Reverse) :  Disabled
         Inhibit Output setting :     "Enabled" and "Active High Polarity"
         Inhibit Input setting : is grayed, cant set its parameter (i see (in the grayed) that its set to : Disabled)
    3.  In UMI-7774:
         All the Axis that i dont use and set in MAX to Disabled, their switches in the UMI is "Active Low"
         i dont use them, and i tink its not relevant for which value they set, but this is the facts for troubleshoot this problem.
        The Axis that i'm using: Axis4 , the switches on the UMI board is set to :
         FAULT       :  Active Low
         ENABLE    :  Active High 
         LIMIT LED  : Active Low  
         On the UMI, only the Power V, Viso LED are Lit, all other LED in the umi:
          Inhibit All, Interlock, and each axis Leds (Disabled,Fault,Home,Fwd,Rev) are all not Lit .
     4. i connect  9-Pin cable to the  "Global Stop" on the UMI, so i can set the  "Inhibit All" , "Shutdown" input signals ,
         which are "user supplied" input signals.  they are now connected directly to the C-Iso, 
         cause i want them not affect the "Enable" signal on the Axis that i'm using (i hope that connectng them to the Ciso is the 
         right decision, cause i dont know where to set their polarities..if i need to..??? )
    5. The "Fault" signal for the axis that i'm using (Fault+, Fault-)  is connected to Viso and Ciso, later when i know that the Enable signal is 
         working, i'll connect these (Fault+, Fault-)  to the Alarm signal from the Servo Drive.
         currently i connect them diectly to Viso and Ciso, again, cause i want them not affect the "Enable" signal on the Axis that i'm using.
    i think that comletes the setting according to the UMI user manual, page 3-11...
    The thing that i dont understand here is that the manual is writtent that  the "Controller Axis Inhibit Out (per axis)"
    is affect the "Enable" signal, and i though that the "Enable" signal is itself the "Inhibit Out (per axis)" 
    so, i'm sure measing something here...
    Thanks for helping with this, i'm really on the last configuration of the servo, cause everything else
    is working good, encoder, Dir, Puls, commands to the servo using MAX 1D interactive, and LabView programs all working well,
    p.s. now i;m manualy give input for the servo on signal , i want that the "Enable" will do this job..
    Thanks

  • How to kill the yellow outline when using setFocus?

    Hi...
    I tried using:
    btnname._focusrect = false;
    It did kill the yellow outline but then I can't navigate using the up/down/right/left key anymore. How to solve this problem? I have been researching days on this.
    Please help!
    Thks!

    Hi Kartik,
    I tried:
    _root._focusrect = false;
    It did remove the outline but I could not navigate using the arrow keys anymore, I can only "tab" through the buttons. I need to use the arrow keys as this is for a presentation using a remote control.
    As for:
    _global._focusrect = false;
    It didn't work.
    I still don't understand why removing the yellow outline also means removing the arrows functions?...mmmm
    Thks...

  • How the system automatically kills the process when I close the browser?

    Hi everybody,
    I have the following problem: I run a report on the web browser. Suppose the user want to detail on one of the characteristics of report. If this takes long time (there are many records in report) and the user closes the web browser, the SAP system still run the proccess (in SM50 I see the dialog process still working, althrough the user closes the browser). This didn't happen in Excel, means, if the user press the 'Cancel' button when he/she tried to detail on one characteristic, the corresponding process is killed too (I see in SM50 how the corresponding dialog process is removed).
    How can I solve this ? Any idea about this?
    Thanks in advance.
    Florina

    Florina,
    there is a timeout set for the web session and the session would get automatically terminated after some time ..
    Some options are :
    1. Use Stateless Templates
    2. There is a Web Template setting called "Automatic Session Management" which uses a page wrapper cookie and kills the session when the person navigates from the page.. - <b>have changed it from previous answer after seeing Anil's post - apologies</b>
    3. If you are using EP  , you could implement DSM Terminator for the same.
    All the above( except 3) will not be suitable for stateful templates , if you want export to excel capability , or printing capability or the capability to save the pages as HTML for local use , you have to use stateful templates.
    First you would have to decide whether to use statefull or stateless templates and then depending on the choice made , go for any of the above. In case non of them work out for you , there is another option , but that would include a lot of javascript and using some command line parameters , update this post and I can tel you about the other if required..
    Hope it helps..

  • Opening Dashboard kills the audio on my Imac.  Suggestions??

    Every time I open the Dashboard it kills the audio.  I have to then re-boot to get the audio back.  Suggestions??

    Simply launch Dashboard, then drag around each widget looking for TWO identical widgets one behind the other.  If so, you need to manage your widgets (i.e., click + in bottom left corner), then delete the duplicate widget...a duplicate weather map is the usual suspect.

  • Is there anyway to kill the email app. without rebooting the phone?

    I get emails, but I can't do anything on the screen.  It is totally unresponsive to touch. In addition, my sleep button is broken, so I can't reboot the phone.  (ordered new one, but not getting it for weeks).  Is there anyway to kill the email application without rebooting the phone?

    Thanks, I figured as much. Will I be able to save all my apps and content by importing them to my computer and then uploading them back to my iPad after I upgrade the iOS? If so, do you happen to know if a gen 1 iPad running an iOS 4.2.1 is able to upgrade to an iOS 5? I did read online that the iOS 6 is NOT compatible with it so I want to be sure the iOS 5 is before I go through the trouble...

    A quick google, found lots of scripts... I found the script below @ Christopher Hubbell's blog - I've modified it to pump out the command name.
    ---->>>>>>BUT let's just say it would be quicker to got to sunfreeware.com and download lsof.
    the 'lsof -i " option will give you the process id, which you can use kill _pid_ to kill the id.
    Christopher's modded script (my edits in bold):
    #!/bin/sh
    if [ `/usr/xpg4/bin/id -u` -ne 0 ]; then
    echo "ERROR: This script must run as root to access pfiles command."
    exit 1

    I have also tried the fixes offered in this forum such as using the "Other" mail in setting up the gmail accounts, and not using the dedicated gmail setting.  I also went to google and signed in and enable the additional devices.  I had the same problems with the original account I set up for gmail, but it corrected when i went to using the "Other" instead of the Gmail button.  I was able to set up the new gmail accounts on my iphone without problem and on my husband's ipad1 for his gmail account.  Just the ipad 2 is giving me problems.   Again, thanks for any suggestions.
