Netbeans not running under root user

I noticed that after installing Netbeans under user 'root', I'm able to use it under my user account, but it doesn't launch when I'm logged in as root. I'm running Arch x86_64 with XFCE in VirtualBox. Everything else works, including:
Firefox
Pidgin
Eclipse
SRWare Iron browser
It's not a big problem but when I'm logged in under my user account I can't install new plugins from inside Netbeans.
I tried running it from the command line but nothing happens, including when I try "sh netbeans -verbose".
I"m curious why I'm unable to start Netbeans when I'm logged in as root. Has anyone else experienced this?

Maybe you should reinstall it "as user" if you're experiencing problems with plugins installation.
Edit: IIRC you can use xhost to let root run GUI apps.

u can chroot it, or just leave it be, i dont have any ideas how you might use port 21 w/o root privilegies.

SQL script runs under SQL Devoper, will not run under UNIX, SQLPlus

I have a sql program I developed under the SQL Developer tool and it runs fine. I have ftp'd the sql to the Unix server and I am trying to run the same program under SQL Plus in unix. The program echo's back the line number that is the last line number in the code before the 'Exception' code in the program and it goes out into never never land.
I can't figure out why this runs under SQL Developer but will not run under SQLPlus in Unix. Any ideas would be appreciated!!!!

Assuming that the ftp process did not append any invisible characters(which it usually does) at the end of each line,
did you put the '/' symbol at the end of your program before running in sql*plus
something like
begin
end;

Configure BO services to run under a user that has the EN_US locale

Hi all,
My question is following a previous thread on a known issue where a work-around has been proposed by Efstratios Karaivazoglou (Thanks for that):
BusinessObjects Integration Kits
I thought a new thread would be more appropriate since this is basically a whole new question.
The proposed work-around is the following:
"please configure the BO services on your windows server to run under a user (belonging to the local administrators group) that has the EN_US locale set in its default profile. This is a known problem of WebI and the SAP integration KIT running on an international (e.g german) version of windows."
Regarding that work-around two questions came up:
(1) "BO services" mean basically the BOE MySQL database service and the Apache Tomcat service, right?
(2) A user that has the "EN_US locale set in its default profile": Where in the user profile settings would you set the locale to EN_US? I just had a look at the user properties in "Computer Management" on the windows server and haven`t seen this property.
Unfortunately we don`t have the FixPack 1.3 installed yet (which is supposed to solve the problem).
Many thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Kai

Hi,
BO services means the SIA (Server Intelligence Agent) and the Tomcat. You can do this over the Central Configuration Manager utility.
After logging on the Windows Server with the credentials of the new user you can set the regional settings under Control Panel->Regional and Language Options

Dropbox process running under root.

Hello people i just checked activity monitor for a process and i saw the process "dbfseventsd" and i google it and it came up that it is a dropbox process, and it was running under the root user and it was a 32bit process. Can anyone tell me why that process was there note the process is not always there when i use dropbox.
Thanks
Alex

Hello All
Since a couple days, in my Home appears DCQd7rmUW9.tmp. It is a temp file produced by dbfseventsd but operated by Java. It is a DropBox process anyway?

Flash player does not work under one user account.

Flash player does not work under one of my user accounts.
My system: I work with a mac mini with Mac OS X 10.6.8.
What I have done:
I installed the flash player maybe one year ago under my "first" user account. At that time this user account had had administrator authorization. In the meantime I had to change this "first" user account in an account without administrator authorization and created an administrator user with which I installed different programms. Lately, the message came up that it would be necessary to update the flash player. I did it; under the "first" user account, but of course with the administrator's password for installing. The installation had been "successful" - so I was told. But it did not run. I tried it again and again. Each time with "deinstallation" first. No way; it did not work.
After asking Adobe for the reason of the problem, they suggested to install the programm directly under the administrator user. I did that (of course after deinstalling under the "first" user account) with the result, that flash player runs under my administrator and my "second" user account, but not under the first user account. There I am always told to update my flash player.
With this result, I talked to Adobe. So they told me to contact the producer of the operating software, since this would be a mistake of the operating software.
And here I am - full of hope to get help from you.
Thanks for reading. And thanks in advance for helping me.

Any update to provide at all here guys? Again, in my situation, it's very much rights-related as a standard user doesn't even report that the flash player exists when testing it on the Adobe Flash Version Detection website (despite it showing up in Control Panel and under Add/Remove Programs). I've already tried giving the C:\Windows\System32\Macromed and files/subfolders appropriate permissions for the standard user and still nothing. If I either give the user in question full local admin rights or logon as the domain admin, then the Adobe Flash Version Detection website says Flash is installed and Flash works fine.
Thoughts???

Print to PDF missing under Root user

At the school where I work, for some activities we have an occasional need to use Root (System Administrator) rather than normal user accounts. Generally, everything seems to be OK, but we have noticed that when printing from any application the PDF drop-down menu (with the "Save as PDF" option) does not appear. We can still click on Preview and save as a PDF from within Preview, but we are intrigued as to why the feature is not available in the print dialog when logged in as Root. It appears to be the same in both Tiger and Leopard. Does anybody know why? It is not a life-and-death matter, but we are curious as to whether it is a programming "Oops!" or a deliberate move (with perhaps a very good reason behind it).

The machine was set up originally with Tiger and upgraded at various stages, using both Software Update and manually-installed downloads.
As I mentioned earlier, it is not a life-and-death issue. We're happy to put it down to "well, that's just the way it is". Maybe Apple thought that the less you can do under Root, apart from the essential functions, the less chance there would be of someone wanting to go in as Root. Possibly, in the initial stages of designing OS X and getting it to work, the Root user was given only what it actually needed, ie who needs to print to PDF when you're actually only carrying out only administrative tasks and configuring the computer? Then when the "normal" accounts were designed, they were given all the everyday functions that would be needed and used all the time by normal users.
If someone from the OS X design team at Apple has some official knowledge we would be interested, but we're happy to let this become "shrouded in the mists of time".

In Mountain Lion Image Capture only recognizes Canon SLR camera under root user

Being a school of fine arts we are using Canon 5D MKII cameras for use in Dragon Frame stopmotion.
In OS X 10.8.4 the camera shows up in System Information > USB but is not recognized in Image Capture (and Dragon Frame) when the user is logged in as a network- or standard user.
Using an local admin account the camera is sometimes recognized ('fuzzy logic') and is always recognized when logging in as a root user.
In Snow Leopard this problem does not exist but a rollback to Snow is not an option because Adobe CS 6 Premiere does not function well under 10.6.8.
The root user 'solution' suggests that it is permission related.
We found this problem on all our iMacs and we tried PRAM zapping and different cameras and cables.
Does anyone know a solution to this problem?

E17 fails to start when not run as root

Greetings
I'm a relatively new user to Arch Linux, although I've been running it on my laptop for some time and enjoyed it. Long story short, these days I decided to put it as a main OS on my desktop machine. Everything was OK, the system booted fine and the X server was working lovely, until I decided to put in E17 (from the days of OpenGEU, that's still my favourite WM). The problem is, if I start it from the root acc, it starts without problems and works out-of-the-box. But when I start it with a normal account, it starts the X server and then dies (yeah, great, so close...).
The first thing that came to mind was file permissions, but anything I managed to find in the enlightenment folders was world readable. I tried starting it with the SLiM manager instead of startx (.xinitrc's on both accounts contain only "exec enlightenment_start"), copied the root's .e folder in the user' one, even tried "xinit /usr/bin/enlightenment" - nothing of these worked.
Log of the root starting session: http://pastebin.com/JK6gmyui
Log of the user starting session: http://pastebin.com/G3ru1aCR
When I read the logs, my first thought was the system was hanging because of the e_randr error, but it exists in the root logs too, so this couldn't be the problem. Apparently something's screwing up on e_ipc loading, but I've absolutely no clue why.
I'll be really, really grateful to anyone who has the patience to try and help me get to the bottom of this, since I don't like the perspective of making the root account my every day acc only because of E17.
Thanks in advance (:

I'm not a guru (I was hoping one would have stepped in by now!) so I can't suggest much beyond the usual recommendations:
Have a look through /var/log/messages - I get a few lines like
Sep 21 07:45:34 localhost dbus[718]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit' (using servicehelper)
Sep 21 07:45:34 localhost dbus[718]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' (using servicehelper)
Sep 21 07:45:34 localhost polkitd[949]: started daemon version 0.105 using authority implementation `local' version `0.105'
Sep 21 07:45:34 localhost dbus[718]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1'
Sep 21 07:45:34 localhost dbus[718]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit'
that seem to indicate things are happy.
You've already posted your /var/log/Xorg.0.log - the only thing that caught my eye there was the vesa module load failure, but I'm assuming that is okay since the intel module was loaded later.
Also have a look through the output of dmesg - mine doesn't show anything of interest, but I'm not having the trouble.
Unfortunately, that's about as far as I can go. To be honest, all this *Kit/dbus stuff baffles the heck out of me. I'm an old-timer, so I never saw the need to go any farther than the original Unix permission flags. Anyway, the fact that you can run it as root but not as a normal user really smells like a permission flag, group membership, or rule problem. I just don't know where better to point you.

BTW, the e-svn-arche17 packages I use pull in the very latest subversion level every time they are run and compiles it fresh, so they are always the bleeding-est edge stuff. Even if the packages themselves don't change very often, what they produce does. However, I doubt very much that this is the problem.

Is there a fix for iTunes not running under Windows 8.1 Operating System?

I used iTunes for Windows, on my Dell Tower PC, successfully under Windows 7 to import CD tracks and share them with my iPad and iPhone using iTunes Match but since I upgraded my operating system to Windows 8 and then 8.1, iTunes for Windows will not run, despite my downloading the latest versions as they become available; I receive no error message!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
You could also try working through

Have you tried giving the user administrative privileges?

InDesign CS4 will not run under Lion

I have InDesign CS4 and Design Suite CS3. All my other CS3 apps run under Lion. The Upgrade to Lion failed leaving my internal unbootable, so I installed and migrated to an external drive. But after the upgrade to Lion all of the other CS 3 aps run, IDCS4 will not run. I get the following message:
Adobe InDesign is missing required system fonts or CMap files. Please reinstall InDesign.
I used the uninstaller and reinstalled. No affect. I made the Library folder visible. No effect. I cant

There is a very long list of incompatibilities with Lion:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
I'm sure there are many more that are unknown.
FWIW, I highly recommend sticking with Snow Leopard for now and when you do upgrade, do so as a clean install.
John will be along soon to tell you to ignore the man behind the curtain.

Ehancement Point not visible under my User ID

Hi All,
   This is the first time I am ever posting a question here, So, thanks a bunch in advance for trying to help me out. (I created a enhancement point in the user exit USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE in the sap include program MV45AFZZ (Sales Order Exits). I actually put the code in an custom include program Z_SO_INCLUDE1 in the ehancement point. I activated the enhancement point and everything was working as expected. But a week later I renamed the include program to meet the client's naming standard, double clicked the enhancement point, made sure it reflects the new include program and activated both the enhancement point and all the programs involved. The program/enhancement point works fine now, however, I am not able to see the enhancement point under my user id. I can see it under everyone else's user ID???? I really appreciate it if someone can help me out on this one. We are using ECC6.0/ERP 2005.
Thanks,
Sunny
