Logging into CLI from graphical login manager...possible?

Hey guys, this sounds like a backwards question, but hear me out.
I have two accounts on my computer. One of which is my main account, where do graphical design, sound editing, web surfing, and various LibreOffice tasks. This account, I want to boot straight into my standard Openbox account.
The other account, I'm planning to use solely for writing, and want to use it as a "no distractions, get stuff done," type account where I will just sit and write. I plan on using wordgrinder for word processing on this account, since that's as "no distractions" as they come. Thus, with my no distraction rule, I want to boot this account straight into commandline, and then from there, launch wordgrinder. At the very worst, if I'm going to use another program with this account, it would be mutt. However, I've already set up a GUI login manager.
Right now I'm using LXDM, and am wondering if there's a config I can write to have LXDM send me back out to the CLI after I login using this secondary account. If this is not possible, I have considered using a tiling window manager to emulate the CLI, but really have never used any, so I don't know which would be able to provide the feel of pure CLI without much hassle.
So preferably, what options out of these are available for what I want to do?
1) Create a config file for LXDM that can send me out to CLI.
2) Uninstall LXDM and use a command line-based display manager. (If so, which one?)
3) Use a tiling window manager. (If so, which one?)
4) Ditch the display manager altogether and just use startx when I want to use Openbox.
5) Other (Please state)

It is, and I may have to settle for it (TBH, I hadn't even thought of that, when I had used it before, so thanks for reminding me of that.) However, having an out to go back into openbox anytime I want easily just by doing Ctrl+Alt+F1 may be an issue, but I guess every option I have has a flaw TBH. So C+A+F2 may be the best one. Thanks.

Power managament / Graphical Login Manager / ...

Hi all,
I'm new to arch, coming from ubuntu (which is a noob distro compared to this ).
I have several questions:
I'm running arch (with fluxbox) on a laptop and I wanted to place a wmpower thingy in my slit.
Install was succesfull but when I ran the program, I got a message:
Cpu frequency scaling is not available
No power management subsystem detected
wmpower: No power management support...
I searched forums, installed acpi (pacman -s acpi ), put acpid in my daemon list but when I ran wmpower again cpu frequency is available but I still get this error.
No power management subsystem detected
wmpower: No power management support...
What else should I install?
Other question:
How can I install a graphical login manager, and when I'm logged in, fluxbox must start ( startx has to be executed automatically).
Last question: Which file manager should I use, I find rox a bit simple imo, and konqueror is to much for me
Thx in advance
Greetz Daan

Hi Daan,
Please see the wiki page regarding SpeedStep: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SpeedStep
There are links for AMD based systems on this page as well, but only the necessary modules differ from this explanation.
Briefly: Load the correct modules (add them to the modules array in /etc/rc.conf) for your CPU and install (and add it to the daemon section in /etc/rc.conf) cpufreq/another daemon to administer frequency scaling.
nice regards

When a pop up window comes up it is - search bookmarks and history window! I cannot log into my bank as login button should open new window to log in but I get the search page. I cannot see larger images as again I get the search bookmarks and history page etc. Happens on all options that should open new page. I am so frustrated, this has been happening since Firefox updated itself 2 days ago to Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) was fine before that. using windows vista. Can you please advise what I should do? Also can you go back to previous version? Error console eg

Can't log into Facebook from iPhoto 11

No matter what I try I can no longer log into Facebook from iPhoto 11 (it was working previously). I deleted the account from preferences and then went to add it again - but when I enter my details (which are confirmed as being correct) I cannot log in. it hunts for a while then says that an "unknown error" occured.
I've seen that some people have been able to fix this by going into their privacy settings in Facebook. iPhoto seemed to be enabled there. I turned everything off in the Apps privacy settings in Facebook and turned on again but stil it doesn't work. I also don't have "Little Snitch" installed as I understand that to sometimes conflict.
It seems that have the same sharing issue in Analog.
Does anyone have any idea please? I'm incredibly frustrated by this.... Thanks
Macbook Air, 13", Mountain Lion 10.8.2

After 5 Hours between Apple support and myself we finally got it!
Sign on to facebook through safari. Go to your settings, On the left hand column click on Apps, there you will need to turn it on.
Also Make sure that when Iphoto is open on the left column you have Shared and the facebook icon is there. (Icloud should be there too) If not then go to the top menu bar while iphoto is open and click on share, click on facebook and sign in from there.
At least this worked for me! Good luck to all!

If you are talking about photoshop.com, anyone who tries will get that error because there is no more photoshop.com. You should have received a bunch of emails about any photos there getting moved to Revel, but you can't use Revel from within the versions of PSE that had photoshop.com:

Cannot log into T61 from remote computer with wired network and Windows Explorer.

Hi,
I am using a T61 7662-cto with Windows 7 Professional
When the T61 is connected on the home network with the wired network, I am not able to log into it remotely from another computer. On my second computer, I see the T61 with Windows Explorer but instead of getting the login window, it appears a Network Error with the message:
“Check the spelling of the name. Otherwise, there might be a problem with your network.” With a error code 0x80070035, “The network path was not found.” I tried the “Diagnose” button but it doesn’t give solution.
When the T61 is wireless connected, there is no problem. I can access it from my second computer.
I never have problem to connect to the second computer from the T61 with any connection type . I just updated the Intel Wireless LAN (bg, abg, abgn) for Windows 7 – ThinkPad, with the drivers required but it changes nothing.

Do you have a hint for this issue why the wired network gives problem?

Cannot log into Pinterest from Firefox

For the past few weeks, I've been unable to log into my Pinterest account. I use Firefox as my primary browser. I've gone back and forth with Pinterest tech support, to no avail, and they sent me here. <eye roll> I've tried all the easy things...deleting cache and cookies, trying in safe mode, trying with another browser, making sure the browser is up to date, etc. Pinterest won't let me log in on IE or Chrome either, on this computer; yet on my Windows Surface tablet, I can log in with no trouble.
Here's the error message I get: The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
I didn't add any software right before this happened. I have always been able to get into Pinterest with no trouble, up till now. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Elizabeth

Deleted English keyboard and now can't log into iPhone from lock screen

I downloaded SwiftKey for my iPhone 5S after updating to iOS8 and found that it didn't pop up as the default keyboard for the phone. I went to keyboards and deleted the standard, iPhone English keyboard which then made SwiftKey the default. In 20-20 hindsight it was a very stupid thing to do, but it really seemed like a good idea at the time, and it did make SwiftKey the default. Of note, I still had the Hebrew keyboard loaded as a secondary keyboard.
The problem is that when the iPhone locked out, the Hebrew keyboard now comes up in the lock screen. I have no way to switch the lock screen keyboard to English characters so that I can input my password. Effectively, I am now unable to log into my iPhone. I tried turning it off and on and also tried a 'hard reset' by pressing both the power button and the home button until the iPhone reboots. Still no access to the English keyboard on the lock screen....
I have the Phone backed up completely on my computer at home--how do I get the English keyboard back so I can log in? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay. I know I'm not the only one who has this problem, because I just answered another query. After playing around with the iPhone a bit and talking to the guy in our IT department I found the answer... I'm posting the answer to my own question so that if anyone else has a problem they can find the solution here.
You will need a computer with iTunes running and your sync cable.
Here's what I found out... If you hold down the power button and the home button for a ridiculously long time (close to a minute and it might cycle through the plain apple picture twice) you eventually will get the a screen that looks that looks like an iPhone sync cord and an arrow pointing to a red iTunes logo.
You can then hook the phone up to your computer, boot up iTunes, and the phone will be recognized by the computer. After that, you simply go to iTunes and pick the option "restore iPhone" and that should work... This will reset your phone to the factory settings.
Once this is done, you can sync to iTunes again and restore all your phone from your iTunes back up. If you don't have a back up, this will probably wipe out the data on the iPhone, but at least you'll have a working phone when you are done.
I'm really kicking myself for removing the English keyboard, but as it was an option to remove it, I couldn't imagine that the phone would have a problem like this if I eliminated it. Apple will really need to rethink this one if they give the option of removing their English keyboard.
Good luck!

Ios8 on 5s can't log into apple from phone (works on computer) ????

just upgraded....you'd figure by now that apple would have this be a no brainer
my phone no longer recognizes my password even though it works on itunes through the computer
anyone have an answer?

yeah......I don't think thats it........everything was responding pretty quick.......there may be some syncing of servers or something, but logging into itunes first did the job for me although you could tell that icloud hung up itunes and then when I killed it and restarted, the first thing that came up in itunes was the icloud login.....it appears that every time you successfully log into one that it syncs the logins on all the servers

HT2623 I forgot the password for my .mac account and cannot log into it from Apple Mail. I have an iCloud mail account but did not convert my .mac account to iCloud. How can I log into my .mac or .me email?

I set up .mac, including email, around 2006. I believe my .mac account became a .me account, but I continued to receive email sent to .mac until about March 2013.
I accessed my .mac account using Apple Mail on an iMac running OS X 4.11. I'm still using that machine.
In July 2013, I upgraded my MacBook Pro to OS X 8.5, bought an iPod Touch and set up an iCloud account.
I forgot my .mac password and I want to open an email message sent to my .mac email account.
When I attempt to log into my .mac account using Apple Mail, my password attempts are rejected by a .me mail server.
Is there any way I can restore my access to my .mac or .me email?
Thanks,
William Postman

I can't log into icloud from my Windows 8 PC, but I can from my Windows XP PC

I had my old Vista PC upgraded to Windows 8. I just tried to log into www.icloud.com, but after entering my username and my password nothing happens. No errors, nor messages. Fortunately, I can remotely log into my work PC which is a Windows XP. Logging in is no problem at all for my XP. I get in and do what I need to do. This would seem to eliminate a server issue.
Is the icloud website not available for Windows 8?
Thank you!

Have you tried in another Browser ?

HT204053 I changed my AppleID email address because my old address expired, and I can access it on iTunes, but whenever I try to log into iCloud from my MacBook it won't let me sign in under the new AppleID - the old ID keeps showing up. How do I change t

I changed my AppleID / email address after my old email expired, and now whenever I go to sign into iCloud on my computer it still shows my OLD AppleID in the log-in and it won't let me change it. So I can't sign into iCloud! I can still sign into iTunes though from my iPhone and laptop, but iCloud isn't working anymore, where do I go to update my AppleID in the log-in for iCloud???

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

Log into Flex from CF

Is there a preferred Adobe-defined way to log a user into a
Flex app from a ColdFusion page?
Right now we are doing a little dog and pony show where we
set an encrypted browser cookie from the CF page, then we read it
from the browser cookie with Flex and send it to a web service
where it is decrypted and used to log the user in. LOL
I realize we could also use a database, but is there some
ColdFusion/Flex "native" way to do it?

I think the prefer way would be using setRemoteCredentials to send a login name and password from Flex to CF, and in CF you use the security framework using cflogin and so on.
