Slim not working with LXDE after 2.6.38 upgrade

After running -Syu and getting the new kernel slim will no longer login to lxde. awesome works fine. When I tried to start lxde manually with /usr/bin/startlxde it gave the following error:
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf': No such file or directory
creating an empty file there allowed me to run lxde manually but it still won't work with slim. Any ideas? What other info would be useful to you?
I'm running nvidia 270 drivers.

I was getting this error:
cp: cannot stat '/usr/share/lxde/pcmanfm/pcmanfm.conf': No such file or directory
since day one I installed LXDE and I don't think it is related to the issues we are having.
I have 3 almost identical arch boxes (same dd-ed install, identical packages - besides gfx card drivers) with slim, LXDE and NFS mounted homes, and everything was working fine till last update. Only unhelpful segfault output is logged in X's and slim's log. If anybody is interested, I can post ouputs here.
After this update, X segfaults everytime when lxsession is ran. First I thought this is hardware related, but situation is same on all three boxes (2 x radeon, 1x nouveau). I can login sucesfully if I replace lxsession with WM + xterm/terminator combo (also things like Firefox run then) so the error is caused clearly by lxsession. Then I thought it might be NFS related, but there are no NFS errors in either clients or server logs, more over I see that others are also having problems running LXDE.
Funny thing is, I have another notebook with slim+LXDE and I am experiencing no problems whatsoever.
Any idea how to approach this and at least pinpoint the error further (where within lxsession it occurs) ?
EDIT:
After some toying with LXDE componnents and launching them manually, I found the culprit. In my case it is pcmanfm in desktop manager mode.
Launching "pcmanfm --desktop" causes X to die. Once I renamed /usr/bin/pcmanfm to pcmanfm.borked, I can run lxsession without a glitch. Can anybody confirm this?

  • Apps not working with docomo after updating new sw...

    hello brother,
    i have updated my nokia c2-00 sw v3.99 .
    After updating new sw v.3.99 my apps not working with tata docomo only .
    Docomo is my personal sim-card.
    What can do for get ride it.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hello, Premkoli. Which specific apps are you referring to? Are these apps downloaded from the Store, or preloaded ones? When you say 'my apps not working with tata docomo only', does it mean that these apps work with other SIM cards aside from TaTa Docomo? How did you update your Nokia C2-00? Is it by going to Settings > Phone > Device Updates > Check for updates, or via Nokia Suite?
    Since the issue started after the software update, you can try to reinstall the phone's SW via Nokia Suite. Just download it on your PC, and then connect the phone via a compatible USB cable. After that, launch Nokia Suite, and the go to SW Updates > Device Software Updates > Reinstall current SW. After that, try opening the same apps and see if they'll work with your Docomo SIM card. Get Nokia Suite from this link: Nokia Suite
    Let us know the outcome.

  • Lexmark P6250 scanner not working with iMac after recent software update, any ideas?

    The scanner has always worked with the iMac but after a recent software update only the printer works now.  I have searched the apple communities boards and have downloaded a variety of drivers suggested but nothing has solved the issue.
    When I load print and scan from system preferences, I select to open the scanner and the process just hangs.   I can see the scanner and am able to select to open but not able to scan.
    Any ideas on how to resolve?

    Unfortunately I have tried this and I have downloaded new drivers and restarted both the iMac and printer/scanner numerous times but I still only have the printer working.
    I have tried to use preview via system preferences, print and scan and the when I select open scanner for preview the application hangs.  I have also tried to use image capture and there is an error when selecting the scanner device of "Lexmark Language Error".  When selecting overview within image capture I am advised that the size tryng to be scanned is too large when nothing has been selected and the default setting are standard size and then image capture hangs.
    All features were working fine prior to conducting a software update about 8-10 weeks ago.  I have downloaded further software updates which I had hoped would sort this issue but it hasn't.

  • Home sharing not working with appleTV after I moved itunes to new computer

    I Bought a new Mac computer and followed the directions to move my iTunes library from my windows PC to my new Mac. Now my home sharing doesn't work with my AppleTV. I get an error that says it cannot connect to iTunes librarY.
    I Have tried reboot both the computer and AppleTV. I have turn on and off home sharing multiple times on both the computer and appletv.

    Hey rjcarter,
    Good job on troubleshooting the issue so far. The next steps would be to check the network and firewall settings as well as resetting the wireless router. Take a look at the article below for more information about troubleshooting Home Sharing.

  • HP C7200 printer/scanner not working with Mac after new router installed.

    I recently had my DSL modem go out and replaced it with a combo modem/wifi router. Since the install, my mac can't detect my printer. If I install it via the printer's IP, it'll detect ink levels for a day or two, but still won't print, and won't even detect the scanner. It says the printer is off-line when I try to print. I've rebooted everything, reset the printing system, downloaded updates, and downloaded the latest HP software. Nothing helps. So much for "just works".
    My little Windows 7 computer was totally trouble-free after I reinstalled the printer.

    If the printer does support Bonjour and it does not appear in the Default Add Printer view then I would say that the Mac is set to a different subnet to the printer (and the Win7 PC). This could also explain why you can add the printer via IP but it won't print.
    If the Mac is definitely on the same IP subnet as the printer then check you don't have an application running that could block Bonjour.
    With regards to IP queues, ensure you select HP Jetdirect rather than the default of IPP (Win7 will be using Jetdirect which is known as Port 9100). Also, some drivers cannot be used with network connections. If the printer supports Postscript then try a Generic Postscript printer to test. If it doesn't support PS but supports PCL then there is a Generic PCL Laser driver you would try.

  • MSI GT70 audio not working with hmdi after windows 8.1 update

    When I connect my laptop to the TV, the video comes out fine, but the audio for the TV does not show up in playback devices. It worked fine with windows 8, but after the windows 8.1 update it stopped.
    I have tried updating realtek drivers, but it still doesn't show up. updating other drivers also doesn't work. plugging the cable into the computer then booting it up also doesn't work like it did for other people. This is really making me mad... any help would be appreciated.

    Pah, no probs to my ext. monitor speakers via HDMI, GT70 0NE, Win 8.1.
    Have you tried assigning HDMI one on audio tab as default and see if sound will come out to tv? if so then that was the problem.

  • Variable Exit Not Working with Personalization After Upgrade

    We recently upgraded our BW production system from version 3.5 to 7.0. Currently, we have some web templates/reports that use date related
    user exit variables in the query. For instance, we have a date range
    variable that is populated with a 90 day rolling period in the Customer
    Enhancement RSR00001 / program ZXRSRU01.
    Before the upgrade, these variables would get populated by the Customer
    Enhancement even if the web template/page was personalized. However
    after the upgrade the, when the users try to personalize their
    page/template the date range is not populated by the user exit anymore.
    Instead, the date range that was present when personalization is being
    set.
    Seems like the sequence priority for the population of variables has
    changed with the upgrade where personalization supercedes the customer
    exit for variable population.
    As a result, all these web reports are coming with wrong dates now
    after the upgrade.

    This is due to deactivation/format change of few info objects post upgrade.
    This can be recitified by a program or by manual activation.
    With NW2004s SAP Content contains the new versions of InfoObjects 0TCTLOW, 0TCTHIGH and 0TCTIOBJVAL having type CHAR with the length 60 are delivered.
    In order to resolve the problem with personalization ensure that the right version of these InfoObjects in active. If still the old version with filed length 32 is used, it is necessary to activate these 3 InfoObjects using Administrator Workbench --> Business Content.
    When activation is completed, personalization of variables should be repeated once again in order to write the values to the DSO 0PERS_VAR.
    Program correction, I am not completely sure, but its something like RS_PERS_ACTIVATE.
    Please check.

  • Pancakes radio now not working with multitasking after ios 4.0.2 update

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new ios 4.0.2 and now when I listen to my pandora radio I cannot switch over to my messages or facebook or anything without it closing down and stopping. I tried to delete it and reinstall it but that did not make a difference. It worked fine with ios 4.0.1. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

    I just updated to 4.02 on my 3gs and am experiencing that issue with a number of 3rd party apps. Not only can't I multi-task, but if I lock the screen, I get kicked out of some of them. I have tried reset, without relief. I'd love a suggestion to remedy this.

  • Pandora radio not working with multitasking after ios 4.0.2 update

    I updated my iPhone 3GS to the new ios 4.0.2 and now when I listen to my pandora radio I cannot switch over to my messages or facebook or anything without it closing down and stopping. I tried to delete it and reinstall it but that did not make a difference. It worked fine with ios 4.0.1. Has anyone else noticed this problem?

    This morning, I updated to iOS4.0.2. I went to sleep with Pandora on (I work midnight shift) and when I awoke, I switched to mail and lost the music. Verified it wouldn't stay on and proceeded to do a hard reset (held down on/off switch and home button simultaneously well over ten seconds (( apple came on and then went blank/off again ))). Turned my iPhone 3GS on again and problem was gone. Hope this helps you too.

  • Ibooks not working with PDFs after update

    After loading the updated OS 3.2.1 iBooks would exit to the home screen almost immediately when switching to the PDF bookshelves. I've just downloaded a new version of iBooks and the same thing happens. Within a second of touching the PDF button I'm kicked out of iBooks. Regular books seem okay. Am I alone with this problem, should I expect more updates soon?
    George

    Did some testing today. Used iTunes on my Pc to remove all the PDF files on the iPad. Then sent a PDF file as an email attachment. I was able to save and open that file in iBooks. I was then able to add more PDFs from iTunes with the file/add file to library menu choice. after syncing I could open them in iBooks. There doesn't seem to any drag and drop option on the PC version.
    My old PDFs had been transfered with Goodreader and using Goodreader to move the files still seems to break iBooks.
    It looks like the latest OS and iBook upgrades have somehow broken things with GoodReader....

  • Time capsule not working with ppoe after latest airport update

    I've just updated installed the latest airport update from apple and now my time capsule will not connect to the intenet vie PPoE via a BT Infinity FTTP modem.  The only thing that has changed is the software update.  Any ideas?

    Tivo and Roku may really need upnp which is not provided by the apple router.
    But to test this properly are you double NATting.. if you have an existing modem router did you bridge it before connecting the TC.
    Tell us exactly what broadband you have, and what make and model is your modem?? Is it working as router??
    If the TC is also working as router it should be fixed to work as bridge mode.
    More info and we can get you going.
