Nothing on Desktop after login

First of all I'm using FileVault.
This morning I fat fingered my password three times and had to enter the FileVault Master password. It then took me to the screen were I could enter a new password. It wouldn't accept any passwords at all. I then rebooted and logged into another account to see if it worked. From here I tried to switch users to my admin account and only got a blue screen.
I then restarted the computer using the Install Disk and reset my admin password. After restarting again it accepted my password at the login window but nothing else really happened after that. No dock,no menu bar, no icons. I can however open and close the CD tray using the keyboard.
I also tried the other account again and it works fine. Switch users does as described above.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It sounds like a gooey annoying issue with FileVault. You can try logging in to your name with the FV master password, then see if that will let you alter the password on the account (which should fix the filevault image not opening). If that doesn't work, it //may// be an issue with teh NetInfoDB, which would end up being a step that you Archive & Install NOT preserving then open the disk image in the Previous Systems-Users folder to get to the files again. To be honest, FileVault is more of a pain than a feature.

Nothing on desktop after sleep

Every once in a while, when I wake up the computer and log in again, nothing shows up on my desktop... no icons, no hard drive, no tool bar up top. My Dock shows up, but without a tool bar, I can't restart computer or anything. I have to turn it off via the power button. Any ideas why this is happening??

First, how full is your Hard Drive.
At this point I think you should get Applejack...

After installing, Reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

Can't see desktop with blue screen after login

Hi
we have a server 2008 ent SP2 that sometimes when use remote desktop or via vmware console to access this server, after login we got blue screen and can't see desktop. after force reboot it recovery.
From application log, we find some error:

Hi,
In general, event ID 1530 means there are some data in the user profile are still be accessed when the user log
off from the Terminal Server. Please check if any of the data is still remained in the user profile supposed to be deleted. You can use Process Monitor or Process Explorer in order to find the software which is using the data and find the solution. If there
is no such data remained, the Windows have possibly stopped the process and deleted the data when log off. In such a case, you can ignore the Event 1530.
In addition, I recommend running SFC /Scannow from an elevated command prompt and check a dump file for Windows
Explorer under C:\Localdumps.
Besides, you can also download
Autoruns to troubleshooting Explorer issues. Please run Autoruns as Administrator, go to Options menu, Filter, select Hide Microsoft Entries and Ok. After that, open the Explorer tab,
and you will see all DLL that are running inside File Explorer, so start disabling and testing if Explorer crashed.

Adding a Selection after login for SUN RAY Desktop

Is there a way to add a non vdi sun ray server to the list of available desktops after a user logs in?

Looks like I first need connect the DTU to a SRS server configured with:

Satellite L500 - blank blue screen after login to Win 7

Hi
I have this laptop and i can start up the laptop and it loads fine to the login page i then can login but when the screens opens after login it appears as a blank blue screen with the document folder open i have no background picture and no startup menu nothing else except the document folder.
From there i can access my files etc and anything else internet etc everything but i dont know how to get the screen back to normal.
If i go on background display i can see the image that should be on the background and change it but nothing happens on the full screen.
I have no restore point as yet as new laptop for xmas, i do have backup discs but think its just something to do with the display.
If go into files and folders it shows me the icons on the desktop but all i see is this blank screen.
Any ideas please, if not would restore files work or full back up disc
Thanks very much for any help

Hi
Check this:
Click right on the desktop and choose Personalize.
There you should check the area: Basis design and design with high contrast
Choose Windows 7 basic.
Then reboot the unit.
Usually this should help to get the Windows 7 common design and desktop settings.
But if this will not help then you could use an fast solution which would be a usage of the recovery disk of HDD recovery option.
This would format the HDD and would reinstall everything again

Gray screen after login - Cinnamon 2.2/Nvidia 334

I did a -Syu, saw the new Cinnamon. I then proceeded to snapshot my btrfs root vol, and went ahead with the upgrade. Rebooted, no desktop, just a gray screen with the pointer. I then booted off my install media, and mv'ed my snapshot back to replace my /
Unfortunately, that still somehow didn't fix it, which makes me think a conf is borked in my home dir (not in the snapshot). Nothing in the system journal.

Screen is Black after login on Windows Server 2012r2 Standard

I got a call from the client saying they logged into the server and now it only shows a black screen. I then RDP into it and sure enough, after login there is just a black screen. I searched around and found thread that had a link to a hotfix that will stop
this from happening. I applied the fix and restarted and thought all was well until this morning when I got a call that the server was acting weird.
I RDP in again and black screen. I RDP into the VM and then into the main server and still black screen. On top of that 2 windows 7 workstations were getting the black screen after logging in. 1 user had it then after 5 or 10 min the desktop just appeared.
The then logged into a workstation at their office to try and RDP into the server and I get this black screen after logging in, 5min later the desktop shows up. Not sure what is going on but it is very frustrating. Also when this happens on the server Nothing
can be done besides a hard shutdown which I don't like doing every other week.
Any ideas? Is it somehow related to the workstations also having the same issues???

Any ideas???? Here are a few articles but nothing else seems to be working regardless of numerous workarounds.

User Stuck at Applying User Setting after Login

I have windows server 2008r2 remote desktop environment. All my users stuck at Applying User Setting after login. I disabled remote desktop network interface for some time, then enabled and all fine. Checked logs in detail and nothing unusual found.
Could anyone assist to avoid recurrence of issue.
Rox_Star

Hi,
Thanks for your comment.
Sorry for late response. How is everything going on?
Does both the issue happens on same server? Is that same server with domain joined?
The above question relates to your other post.
Server stucks at Applying Computer Settings after every reboot
From the issue it seems that DNS server is not getting properly communicate for the server and due to that reason you are getting slow connection response from the DC to connect. If you are using DHCP in your network, you need to check the DHCP server setting
also for properly assigned IP address to the server. You can run “ipconfig /all” and check the DNS setting on your affected server.
In addition to above one, you can edit the registry setting for a test and check the result.
1. Open registry editor with regedit
2. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\HTTP
3. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click
Multi-string Value.
4. Type DependOnService, and then press ENTER.
5. Right-click DependOnService, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type CRYPTSVC, and then click OK.
7. Exit Registry Editor.
8. Restart the computer.
Actually there is Hotfix (KB 2379016) for server 2008 but you can try this solution for server 2008 R2.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Blank Screen after Login

I am having an issue with an iMac that has OS X 10.5.8 installed.
Immediately after login I get a blank wallpapered screen (wallpaper is the same as wallpaper at login) w\ cursor. ...It never goes into the desktop where there is a taskbar and desktop icons. This started happening to a couple of my desktops after I installed ESET NOD32 4.0.12 for Mac (AntiVirus).
Has anyone else seen this issue or know of a fix.

You will have to see if you can start the computer via other means,
in that if you can start in SafeBoot mode, you may be able to be rid
of that anti-virus software. That likely is the problem's main cause.
SafeBoot mode: restart, hold Shift key, until you get log-in screen;
login to get to desktop. From here, you can do a few things, but the
computer is not running at full system usefulness. You may be able
to remove this AV software, or see if it has an Uninstaller; and also
you can repair disk permissions in Disk Utility. Among other tasks.
When done, restart normally. (You could also boot from install disc
and use the menu options to run Disk Utility, and other jobs.)
If the product did not come with an Uninstaller in its software, you
may have to try & remove it by other means. These things will put
more into the computer's OS than just an item in the Utilities or
Applications folder; so an Uninstaller is likely a necessity. There
are a few shareware and free ware uninstallers, such as AppDelete
available online as downloads. If you can't find an Uninstaller in the
software you installed (may be in the app's folder in Mac) you may
have to contact the products customer support and ask how you
are to remove the entire product and its parts from your Mac.
If you are lucky, they may actually know where you could go in and
carefully remove those bits; and luckier still, if there is an uninstaller.
Good luck & happy computing!

Adobe content viewer grey screen after login on windows 8.1

we're on Windows 8.1, content viewer is not running, after login it shows a grey screen with just "Adobe content Viewer" on the upper left, but nothing working....

I'm sorry Neil, I'm working on a folio on Indesign, if I share the folio from Folio Builder (Indesign) to my account, and then I open adobe content viewer on my iPad, I can see the cover of the folio shared and I can download it.
Instead, with the same account on adobe content viewer (windows 8.1), I see nothing and I can not do any action.

Satellite M50 - Blank screen after login on Win 8.1

Satellite M50 running Win 8.1
After login, get blank screen mouse but nothing else.
Can run Explorer.exe manually via Task manager to get going but some apps such as Acrobat and Windows Mail don't work.
I've searched online and tried all sorts of the suggested fixes to no avail.
Any suggestions gratefully received!

I don't know what is wrong there but you can try to shut down Win8 completely and check repair options. Try with system restore and roll back OS few days back. Maybe this will help.

Agent going to ready state after login

Hi guys,
I have UCCX 5.0(2) and I would like to force agent to go to state ready after login. There were some posts on this topic and they suggested to play with workflow:
1. add add action agent ready at startup - for this I get: "Error on Startup Event. Error Message: An Agent State Action may only be used on Answered and Dropped Events."
2. add macro - record putting agent in ready state (keystroke Ctrl +W). This I can do, but agent gets error during login: " Could not execute Macro Action. Unable to playback to windows program."
Did you have similar problems? Did you solve it and how? Or maybe you have some other idea how to force agent to go in ready state after login?
BR,
Jelena

Hi,
Problem An agent using Windows XP was able to start Agent Desktop, but was
not able to enter an active state.
Solution Windows XP can be configured so that the Internet Connection Firewall
(ICF) is active. ICF acts by keeping track of all traffic to and from the
computer; it will only allow information through that has originated from
that particular computer. If a message originates from outside the
computer, it will be discarded.
To solve this problem, either turn off ICF (requires someone with
administrator rights to the computer) or override the defaults to include
known “good” connections like the CAD servers.
And also, is it by any chance happening during a failover or failback scenario in a High Availability (HA) setup?
If its a HA setup, did you install this CAD after the HA setup is made i.e. the CAD has the entries for the ip address of the both the nodes.
Hope it helps,
Anand
