[solved]Can't Use "New Login" Button in Xscreensaver

My system hasn't changed much in a long time except for the occasional pacman upgrade.  I use KDM as a login manager, My wife uses KDE (and the kde screensaver), I use openbox and xscreenaver (I don't even know if it's possible to start kdescreensaver outside of KDE's environment).  Anyway, long ago, I added the appropriate line to ./xscreensaver (kdmctl reserve), and it has worked great, until very recently.  Now when my wife clicks the "new Login" button, it grays out, and does nothing else. 
This is causing me problems, as you can imagine "Why won't you just give me your password?"  Ugh. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll mark this "solved".
OK, switching to KDE gave me insight into the problem:  It wasn't an Xscreensaver problem.  That let me change my Google search terms, and I found this:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191512 which led back to the wiki.  This was the solution:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/xo … _Xorg_1.16
I think I remember reading that specific part of the wiki, and thinking that it didn't apply to me because it "switching users" had always worked in the past.

  • Can I use the "same" button multiple times for multiple galleries?

    OK so I am extremely untrained in CS4 and Actionscript. However I have managed to get along fairly well until I started to dynamically upload images as a gallery. This works great if I have one gallery, but for my site I have 9 galleries!!! I have a back and next button, but I want to be able to use those same buttons for all of the galleries so they look the same. I have split them up and renamed them, but I am clueless on how to script the buttons to work. Please help...and don't laugh at my poor scripting. This is what I have now because I do not know where to put the other button names without getting errors.

    I'm still a novice with Flash myself, but I have two comments.
    First, at this point, won't your buttons control all galleries at the same time? Which means, if I go to image 5 in one gallery, then move to another gallery, I'll start at image 5, because the actions are all connected.
    Second, you can definitely use the same buttons for multiple galleries. It seems to me that as long as you've assigned the buttons an instance name, these actions should already work to control all the galleries (see the note above). I guess I would need to understand a bit more about how your project is built.

  • Hi Guys! I have an Imac with Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and bought a wireless keyboard. Unfortunately I can´t use the volume buttons on the keyboard. I have checked almost everything, does anyone have any good idea?

    Hi Guys! I have an Imac with Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and bought a wireless keyboard. Unfortunately I can´t use the volume buttons on the keyboard. I have checked almost everything, does anyone have any good idea?

    Hello, try kguy's solution here...
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2332457?start=0&tstart=0
    First, Go to System Preferences, keyboard, and click on the Keyboard tab
    Make sure that the checkbox by "Use all F1, F2, etc, keys as standard function keys" is NOT checked.
    Next, click on the Show All button, and select Bluetooth. You should see your Apple Wireless Keyboard listed on the left side of the screen.
    Click once to select it, and then click the gear icon at the bottom of the box, and choose Disconnect.
    Power off the keyboard by holding down the power button on the keyboard for a few seconds until it show "keyboard Off on your imac screen, then turn it back on again.
    The device should appear once again in your bluetooth list.
    Try out the volume control buttons now, and see if that cleared things up

  • Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. any suggestions?

    Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner.  Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down.  Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.

    This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
    I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake.

  • Can't connect to SQL Database using new login

    I can connect to Azure SQL Database using the admin ID created when I set up the Azure account.  Now I want to set up a different login that has only regular read/write privileges.  I have followed the instructions on several web posts, to create
    a login at the server level, then create a user at the database level from the login.  When I try to connect, though, the connection fails.  I get an error message, and a GUID that I am supposed to supply to MS tech support, except that all I have
    is a standard Azure subscription, which does not include tech support.
    Here is what I have done so far:
    Logging in to the server with the admin account with SQL Mgmt Studio, I go to the master database on my Azure server, and create the login:
    CREATE LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
    This appears to work (password supplied is a "strong" password), or at least it doesn't show any error response.
    Then, connecting to the production database in Azure, I set up a user and set permissions as follow:
    CREATE USER clouduser1 FROM LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb;
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', 'clouduser1'
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', 'clouduser1'
    When I attempt to connect to Azure using the new login, however, I get an error message (from SQL Mgmt Studio as well as from MS Access).  I am using the SQL Server Native Client 10.0.
    The message is:
    Connection failed:
    SQLState '28000'
    SQL Server Error 18456
    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]Login failed for user 'clouduser'.
    Connection failed:
    SQLState: '01000'
    SQL Server Error: 40608
    [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 10.0][SQL Server]This session has been assigned a tracing ID of
    '271851d5-8e94-497c-a332-d9d40682bb7a'.  Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance.
    Is there some missing step I need to do, to permit the login to see the database?  I have looked for such in the various discussions about connection problems, but have not been able to find such a thing.   Or extend more permissions to the new
    user? Or specify a default user ID for a given login ?  (as they do not have the same names, in the examples I have seen).  I tried making the user ID the same as the login (w/o the server name), but that didn't seem to help, either.
    I have done numerous web searches, and tried about every variation of login or user ID, password, etc. that I can think of, and all of them encounter the same error.  It's got to be something very simple - clearly Azure supports more than one login
    per database.  But's that's all I have at the moment.  That login connects just fine, but others won't, using the same PC, middleware, IP address, etc.
    Any help would be much appreciated -
    Thanks,
         Doug

    Olaf -
    I noticed that, but all of the examples I have seen have Users named slightly differently from the Logins.  I did try logging in with the Login name instead.  No good.  I tried making the Login and the User name the same (clouduser).  Also
    no good - same symptoms.
    I think the problem is that the initial creation of the Login needs to be done WITHOUT the server name on the end.  
    Logged in to the master DB, I tried:  Create LOGIN clouduser@gxw8x04nlb with PASSWORD = 'xoxoxoxo';
    That didn't give me an error message, but I think it created a LOGIN of 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'.  When
    referenced from the outside world, I would need to specify 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb@gxw8x04nlb'.
    I tried deleting the logins, and then creating the login 'clouduser' in the Master DB.  Then in
    the application DB, I created User clouduser from LOGIN clouduser, and then assigned a role.  That seems to work!
    In my connection string, File DSN, etc. I still need to supply the login as 'clouduser@gxw8x04nlb'.
     But when I am logged in to the server, and working in the Master DB or the application DB, I just refer to the Login as 'clouduser'.  
    Seems a little more complicated than it really should be, but at least I now have something that works.

  • Vmfusion 3 and Mac - Urgent can't use new mac

    Many people (myself included) are happy with VMware Fusion. Some questions:
    - Is Windows booting into full screen mode or is the Mac OS X environment still visible?
    - Have you tried shutting down Windows using the "Start" button?
    - Assuming you can access the Mac OS X environment, if you click-and-hold on the VMware Fusion item in the Dock, is "Open at Login" selected? If so, you probably would want to deselect that.
    I have tried the VM Suspend or shutdown - that’s all they say on their their website.
    What happened when you tried?
    I have tried closing down and booting from my Imac install disk..
    What did you expect to be able to do in that mode and what happened when you tried?

  • Can you use an image button to load a CFWINDOW?

    Is it possible to use an image to open a cfwindow instead of
    a regular button input type?

    All I had to do was to use a regular link instead of using
    the input tag. This is because the OnClick event can be used in a
    input that has a type of button and on regular "<a href..."
    links. However, you cannot use the onClick when you have an input
    type of image.

  • Can I use new install disks for older computer?

    I have a new MBP (which I'm very excited about!). I am going to pass my two-year old MBP to one of my college kids. I would like to wipe it clean as he will be transferring all of his own info onto it from his current MBP (which will then be passed down to another college kid). I can't find the original install disk. Can I use the ones that came with the new machine?

    No. The install disks are specific to the model they ship with.
    I've read that a Retail copy of Snow Leopard will allow you to essentially do a 'fresh' install of the OS, but it does not include the diagnostics and configuration features of your original system disks.
    You can call Apple and order a replacement set of disks for a nominal charge (around $40, I think I've read.) Since you're keeping it in the family, that would be an important thing to have with the Mac in case you cannot locate the originals.
