/sbin not in PATH after installing lightDM?

Sorry, I'm a tad confused here, and very new.
When I try to run fdisk, or other similar commands found in /sbin, from the terminal... it says they aren't found.
If I run /sbin/fdisk , the command works fine. I am also not able to reboot or shut down the pc unless I do so from the terminal - /"sbin/reboot"
I can change my path within the terminal, and fdisk works fine on its own, but obviously, once I close the terminal, that change goes away.
The path in my /etc/profile is as follows:
PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
export PATH
It looks to me like /sbin is there just fine, but what do I know.
This change happened after installed lightDM, which otherwise works flawlessly.
Thanks for any help

Sorry, I'm a total idiot today. I couldn't remember where I read that stuff (the comments). Anyway, before coming back here, I fixed the /sbin issue, as well as the shutdown/reboot issue with oblogout, but I don't think they are the best solutions. (Adding path to bash.bashrc, and adding /sbin/ to oblogout.conf)
Maybe I will try another DM instead. This is just my first shot at anything linux, so.. I'm having fun!
Thank you

Logic pro not starting up after install.

Ive tried to install Logic pro twice and both time it will not start up after install. can someone tell me what is the best way to install this program correctly? should i just pay apple more money to install the program for me?

I have exactly the same problem. Whilst 8.0.1 would hang during startup without displaying the splash screen intermittently 8.0.2 crashs every time a few seconds after displaying the splash screen.
Although my computer is almost 6 years old it is perfectly adequate for audio work. I hope this is fixed soon. Unimpressed with the quality control.

has anyone's screen go blank and not boot up after installing the new yosemite OS

Hi Mofimac,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your Mac is only starting up to a blank gray or white screen after updating OS X, you can find some useful troubleshooting steps in this article:
Mac OS X: Gray screen appears during startup
I recommend going through these first three sections first:
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables
Perform a Safe Boot
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM

'CRT not initialized' error after installing MS Office 2010

Hi,
I encountered 'CRT not initialized error' after installing MS Office 2010. I think that with previous version of CVI there were no problems. But, with Labwindows/CVI 2012 error has outbroken. The details are as follows.
- OS : windows 7 Enterprise (32bit)
- Labwindows/CVI (v12.0.0 (422))
- MS Office 2010 (word, powerpoint, excel)
#1. clean install windows 7 (32 bit)
#2. install Labwindows/CVI v12.0.0 and device drivers (DAQ, Motion)
#3. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
#4. online update windows 7 (service pack, explorer 9, and etc)
#5. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
#6. install MS Office 2010
#7. compile and run attached test program : 'CRT error'
#8. uninstall MS Office 2010
#9. compile and run attached test program : SUCCESS
I think there are some conflicts between office 2010 and labwindows v12.0.0. How can I solve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

More specifically, I decided that some parts of MS Office files and features of NI's motion library conflicts. Because in the attacted sample program, if I exclude NI-Motion functions then the program excutes nicely. But if I include NI-Motion fucntion, for example flex_select_signal, then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
To solve this problem I tried step by step installation check for MS Office 2010. During each step I included more optional features in MS Office and after each installation I compiled and executed my sample program. At finally, I found that the addtional part of MS Office 2010, if I install Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean), then the 'CRT not initialized' error occurs.
Temporarly, I solved the problem with NOT installing 'Office Sharing Function>Microsoft IME(Korean)' optional feature in the MS Office 2010.
Could you tell me why this problem occur?

No Prompt/UI after installing LightDM with XFCE

I just finished an Arch install in a VirtualBox VM, and it worked fine. I set up X.Org, and it seems to work. After installing XFCE and enabling LightDM, it does not boot into a prompt or LightDM. I am running the VM on Ubuntu 13.10, and I am chrooted into the installlation from an Arch livecd. Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?

Did you install a LightDM greeter?

App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive. These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
Any help is very much appreciated,
Thank you!

Mac Pro will not sleep properly after installing new SATA BD-CD-DVD drive.

Hello and thank you in advance for time reading this.
I have been using a Mac Pro for 4 years and it never happened to me before.
This started almost immediately after installing a new SATA BD-CD-DVD Drive.
When the Mac is ordered to sleep, It shuts down 3 out of 4 Hard Drives
(I guess the one that doesn't is the OSX Drive) and It will not shut down the fans
and the display has no signal.
During that (when it won't sleep completely) the Mac is completely paralysed and it's unable to wake up.
Now, I've tried being patient and giving the Mac a ton of time to sleep.
In some cases it actually worked and the Mac did sleep completely and it was able to wake up,
but that defeats the purpose (being able to sleep and wake up in an in a few seconds).
In these few cases, the Mac took about 30 min to sleep.
In the rest of the cases the Mac never slept and I had to emergency shut it off from the power button.
In simply words, Mac falls into a "coma", not asleep but not awake at the same time.
As I said, this started exactly when I installed an SATA LG CH10LS20 optical Drive.
You may say that the Mac Pro does not support SATA for optical Drives.
This is why you should know that there is a SATA port on the motherboard of a Mac,
and with the correct method you can connect a SATA Drive AND be able to use it with out additional drivers.
http://www.tomorrowland.com/guides/mac-pro-optical-drive-install-part-1/
Now, you may say that If I'm so sure that it's the new drive causing the problem, why don't I disconnect it?
Well, please try to understand me, it's an all new drive and it cost a good load of money...
and other users of the same drive do not have that problem... yet...
Is there a way for the drive (which otherwise works fine) and the Mac to coexist and work properly?
Do you really think it's the new Drive?
Is the motherboard bothered somehow by the new drive and wont go to sleep properly?
Any kind of help is welcome and
I thank you in advance if you can help me.

Thanks for taking the time to respond RedBaron, I don't have a USB aircard in this system but I do have numerous firewire drives. I haven't unplugged everything yet and restarted. That's a good tip. I think I will try that to see if that is the problem.
Thanks again

HP Deskjet printer 4645 is not taking print after installing windows update

Iam using HP Deskjet 4645 printer at home. After installing updated drivers from HP it works very fine but after updating windows it doesnt print from microsoft office 2013 as wel as word pad. it prints well from notepad and e print. When I contacted HP
for this problem, they told me that problem is with microsoft windows 8.1 and I should contact Microsoft for the problem. Please help

HP service center is telling that the problem is not from HP side but it is from Microsoft windows 8.1.
Do they like the driver that it is using? Usually it is their driver but quite old. E.g. they probably didn't try to provide one specifically for W8.1 but it is their responsibility to do so; otherwise they are in effect saying that they do not
support W8.1 with that device.
Notice that your printer does not appear in this list?
HP Printers - Supported HP Printers for Windows 8
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03168175
And that is W8. Who knows what all they stopped supporting for W8.1?

SAP is not coming up after installing Java Add-in

Hi,
I have installed a Java Add-in for an existing ABAP system. At the stage of "start J2EE engine" it is throwing an error message saying that Java is not coming up after 1142 seconds. I checked config tool and it is working fine. I restarted SAP. After restarting SAP, SAP is coming up and after 1 or 2 mins the disp+work is getting stopped and all the work processes are getting died. I couldn't able to understand & resolve the issue. The system is NetWeave 04. Here is the dev_w0 trace information.

Iphoto not working properly after installing snow leopard...

the two main problems are...
1) when editing in full frame, if I zoom in on the photo and try to move around with a two finger scroll, there is a big delay between me moving to where I want to be and the photo actually getting there.
2) when editing with "adjust," there is a delay when changing anything (such as highlights and shadows).
everything was perfect and happened in real time prior to installing snow leopard. when I called apple, I was told it was probably because iphoto is not 64-bit yet (would have been nice to have known that this would be an issue prior to the install). he said that if everything on my computer was added after snow leopard, I would probably be fine.
can anybody give me some advice on what to do here? I wouldn't mind going back to leopard if I can do that without losing everything, but am very open to ideas if anyone here has anything on this.
side note...safari seems to be having issues as well. takes a long time to load pages and sometimes won't be able to open them without closing out and reopening it a time or two. wasn't a problem before either.
thank you,
sean

I am having a similar(?) but perhaps distinct problem. My wife and I have separate user accounts on our MacBook. We were sharing the same photo library under Leopard with no problems whatsoever. Now, after installing SL, there is a strange situation. If I am in my account, and I import images from a camera into iPhoto, I am able to view and edit with no problems. However, when my wife launches iPhoto, she can see the event and the thumbnails in the event, but when she tries to edit the picture or even preview in iPhoto (clicking the space bar), the picture becomes a blank dark screen. If you hit add face while on the blank screen, the program can pick out the faces, but the picture is still blank.
If I try to import photos into the library when she is using her user account, the reverse applies to me. That is, I can only preview and edit pictures added under my account, and not hers.
I never had this problem with Leopard or with iPhoto '09 under Leopard. Any ideas what might be going on? I would think to go the genius bar, but I am not sure what they woudl be able to do about it. Thanks in advance.

Not installing 2.0 upgrade. 1.41 will not open either after install

I had successfully loaded 2.0 on another machine. upon installing 2.0 on a 2nd computer which also housed 1.4.1, the installation went through what seemed successfull also but....when trying to open 2.0 through the shortcut icon, or .exe file in the folder, or Program>open, nothing would happen....My 1.4.1 version would also NOT open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled both 1.4.1 and tried loading 2.0 unsuccessfully.
One thing that I did note was the fact that NO serial number display window came up as did my other installation upgrade to 2.0. Would this be computer related? I also did note that after copying files, that 2.0 install did NOT remove old files? Once 2.0 was uninstalled, 1.4.1 continued to work properly but not vice versa.
No error messages, not a glitch on install....Just NOTHING will open in either application once upgrade is installed..... Once the icon/exe file is clicked...the application seems like it wants to open and then just doesn't do a thing!!
Once again....this worked on another computer without issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Could NOT find this problem in search mode.
Regards,

Check the following.
LR by default creates a catalog file in your pictures folder. e.g. .....>pictures>Lightroom>Lightroom Catalog.lrcat. While LR is open it also creates a file .lrcatlock file which prevents the catalog file for being accessed by any other user. The lock file is deleted when LR is shut down. If LR closes abnormally the lock file remains and will prevent the program from booting.
With LR off check the sub folder in your pictures folder and see if there is a "Lightroom Catalog.lrcatlock" file present and delete it. Then try and boot the program.

My CS5.5 MC serial not accepted even after installing with FB 4.6

Hello all,
My CS5.5 MC serial number is not accepted by FB 4.6 even after start it in trial mode as suggested here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/924/cpsid_92402.html
Can anyone help me?

Hi,
Is MC (CS 5.5) already installed on your computer? If so, does it have FB 4.5 also installed as part of it? If FB 4.5 is already installed (either as point product or as part of CS 5.5), you need to uninstall FB 4.5 before installing FB 4.6
After uninstalling FB 4.5, run FB 4.6 installer. Instead of enterning the CS 5.5 MC serial number during installation of FB 4.6, install FB 4.6 as a trial first.
Are you able to launch FB after installing as above?
Is MC serialized already on your machine? Then FB would pick up that serial number automatically and work like a premium version.
If not, it would show the serial number screen when you launch FB 4.6 and it would then accept MC 5.5 serial number.
Please follow the above steps in the same order and let us know if that works.
Thanks,
Deeptika

HT201210 AUDIO NOT WORKING PROPERLY AFTER INSTALLED IOS7

After installed ios 7
photos not able to see fully
audio not working properly.... [no treble, no depth in sound, very low soung even the volume is full]
get strucks while playing games

This board is full of people that are update crazy...
even when they have perfectly good working systems.
i know i thought well it's just a security update not a major update.
Best advice... whenever updating the OS, unplug all
firewire devices.
will take note of that from now on.
Was this auto-update? Try downloading the file and
running the update again with all firewire devices
unplugged.
While the 828 is disconnected perform the factory
reset
again.
Disconnect the firewire cable from the 828mkII
-Press the Setup knob
-Turn the Setup knob all the way to the right
-Press the Select knob
-Press the Value knob
-Power off the interface and plug the firewire cable
back
in
-Power the interface back on
i have the original 828 not mark 2, so no reset i know of, just power on off.
After the Mac updates... reboot and plugin the 828,
see if that doesn't get you going.
pancenter-
cheers pancenter, i'll give it a whirl updating without the interface plugged in. thanks for all your help.
