[SOLVED] Closing Openbox doesn't close X

Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is specifically a [testing] problem or not, but:
Whenever I close openbox or run openbox restart, it drops me to a simple x session with no window management and doesn't close X. As a result of this, I've had no way to restart openbox without rebooting my computer completely.
CTRL+ALT+F1 and CTRL+C doesn't work, as it did in the past, since it seems X now starts on VT1, which I think is a side-effect of systemd but I'm not sure.
If anyone has experienced this, or has advice on how to restore this behavior to normal, I would appreciate it.

I see exactly the same problem. It appears that 'openbox --exit' kills the WM, but does not fully exit openbox, hence the session remains. In my logout script, I now need an extra line after the exit, eg. 'openbox --exit; pkill -9 openbox'.
The issue also affects oblogout.
[EDIT}: I didn't notice that this is on [testing]. I do not use testing. This affects me on non-testing repos. I noticed it today (Oct 30).

  • Vivado hardware server "hw_server" process doesn't close when server is closed

    Vivado hardware server "hw_server" process doesn't close when server is closed. 
    Also, the connecting to the server hangs if a device is physically disconnected and reconnected (usually). 
    The "hw_server" process continually has to be killed via Task Manager, Vivado has to be closed and reopened sometimes as well. 
    Using Vivado 2014.1
    Please fix this. 
     

    I'm on 2014.1 as well (Win7-64).  I have a similar problem with 2 different PCs running the same setup.  The Hardware Manager hangs while attempting some activity (usually reconfig).  I click "Cancel" to dismiss the activity, which causes all of Vivado to hang.  Seeing no other option, I kill Vivado in the Task Manager.  However, this has the unfortunate side effect of leaving an orphaned hw_server process that can't be killed by any means, thus requiring a reboot of the PC.
    This is monumentally annoying.
    Can someone comment on whether this is due to a known issue, and if it's fixed in 2014.2?

    Skype freezes on closing, won't force close. I reinstalled, removed  temporary files etc.(In safe mode)
    I'm pretty sure that as administrator I should be able to close the process! But I can't. Why can't I close it?
    I can't sign in because the process is still running telling that I'm still online on my own computer.
    ===Solution===
    If you have the internet explorer feature disabled on your system try enabling it
    ===========
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Reboot your computer in Safe mode and try again to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.

  • Tecra A7: After usage Record now doesn't close correctly

    Hi,
    I have a problem with recordnow software on my new Tecra A7 laptop. It doesn't close after I burn a CD/DVD (recordnow.exe still appears in the task manager). It closes correctly when I only open it and nothing is burned. The main problem is that I can't access my DVD-RAM drive until the recordnow.exe is closed through the task manager. I have tried to reinstall recordnow software but it didn't solve the problem.
    I hope somebody will help.
    Thanks

    Firefox did an automatic update to 6.01, and now my middle mouse button is not working in the browser. It doesn't close tabs, it doesn't open new tabs by middle clicking a link, it doesn't allow me to middle click to scroll the page..

    [BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
    I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
    Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
    I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
    I hope this helps!
    EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
    https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
    EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!

  • Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.

    Is there some way to add multiple addresses to an email I am sending that doesn't close the contact list after I click on an address?  This necessitates constantly going back to click the + sign to add each address separately.  Is there some way I can open the contact list, click on all of the individual addresses to which I want to send the email without the list closing between each address entry, and have all of my address entries be listed to the email at one time?  Something like it works in Gmail.  I do not want to use set lists, I want to enter different addresses each time I send an email.  And I am a very slow typist, so I don't want to type the first few letters of each recipient's name.  It is much faster for me to just click on the e-mail addresses in the list as a group.  It doesn't make any sense to me to have to reopen the contact list for each address, when it should be so easy to click on all of the addresses I want at one time and then click once to add them all to the email as a group.  If there is a solution to this, please tell me.  Thanks.

    Vatlily,
    Try this:
    1. Select Mail>File>New Message.
    2. Select Mail>Window>Address Panel.
    3. Use (command+click) on the desired addressees in the Address Panel to create the list.
    4. Click "To:" on the top left of the Address Panel.
    The group that you selected will be added to the "To" field in your New Message.

  • JOptionPane doesn't close

    Hi,
    I've a problem with a JOptionPane.
    This is my code:
    public class myFrame extends JInternalFrame {
       private JInternalFrame parent = null;
       public myFrame(){
          parent = this;
       jComboBox().addItemListener(new java.awt.event.ItemListener() {
                   public void itemStateChanged(java.awt.event.ItemEvent e) {
                               Object[] obj = {"MyQuestion?"};
                                int result = JOptionPane.showInternalConfirmDialog(parent, obj,
                                                      "Question",0,3);
                               if(result == 0){
    }The problem is When I change the state of the jComboBox component, the internal confirm dialog appears;
    but when I click on the "Yes" option (or on the "No" one), nothing happen;
    the confirm dialog hangs and I cannot do anything more, only stop the process.
    I've used, in the same program, in the same way, an internal confirm Dialog on an Action Event, and it works fine.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you in advance
    MargNat

    HI,
    now I'm partially solved the problem;
    That is:
    I've noticed if I cancel, in my prog, the listener jInternalFrame_Activated, the internal confirm dialog works, but not fine.
    Infact, when the event happen, it appears;
    then if I click yes, it disappear and all works fine;
    if I click No, it doesn't close; but if I click again on No, it close.
    I think it run twice the itemStateChanged relative code, but I don't know why.
    It seems the jComboBox is focused twice when I click twice on "No" option.
    Ideas?
    Thank you in advance

  • Gnome-appearances doesn't close, consumes 100% CPU

    I can open and work with gnome-appearances fine, however after closing the gui I find that gnome-appearances is still running and consuming around 100% of one CPU. So I have to kill it manually.
    While running, gnome-appearances is consuming 100% of one CPU, which seems a bit odd but the fact that it doesn't close with the gui is my issue.
    I get no error messages when running from the command line.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    I'm using GNOME appearance 2.20.3
    Thanks

    I'm thinking it is an issue related to the gtk themes. I tried changing the window control theme in xfce earlier today and noticed the same spike in CPU usage (w/o the lingering after closing though).
    Also, while I had gnome installed I was unable to change to a gnome style window control (e.g., mist, industrial, etc.) in xfce. After uninstalling gnome, I can now use those gtk themes in xfce.
    Need to look into this some more.
    edit:
    It seems the spike in CPU usage while changing the window control theme in xfce occurs only when firefox is running. Which makes some sense, although I don't remember that ever being an issue before.

  • Apple Mail App Doesn't Close When Quit Button Is Pressed

    My apple mail application on my iMac Running Mountain Lion is responding extremely slow and doesn't close when I press the quit button.
    I have to use force quit to close the mail application.
    Also the mail appliation stops spontanuously and a crash report is generated which I send to apple.
    Problem exist now for about 3 weeks.
    I have 4 email boxes (icloud using imap; and 3 pop3)
    Rebuilding my mailboxes didn't solve the problem
    Hope someone has a sollution.

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Mail.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • I cannot open Firefox so decided to try and uninstall and reinstall, when the uninstall or install wizard starts I keep getting "Firefox must be closed to proceed, please close Firefox to continue" but i do not have Firefox open at all.

    Originally I was having a problem with Firefox locking up everytime I went to a website and tried to X out of it, there would be no response. Or the little box would come up with the question on whether i wanted to Quit or close tabs, I would make my choice but nothing would happen. Then yesterday I couldnt open Firefox at all, so I tried to uninstall and also reinstall but keep getting the error message "Firefox must be closed to proceed, please close Firefox" But i do not have it running anywhere, it does show in my downloaded programes, but I cant do anything with it. I am running Windows 7 on a Dell Inspiron

  • JMS session is not closed even after calling close()

    Hi All,
    I am using JMS to receive and publish topics for a process,in my java code i
    am creating new JMS Session on demand(ie., whenever a new topic is
    received) after processing the topic i am closing the session with close(),but
    still the session is not closed.In a period of time more sessions are created
    and FD leaks occurs which stops the process functionality.
    Later i moved the on demand session code to a static block, its working fine
    and no FD leak occurs.
    Is this a known behavior or any java bug is there to point this issue,please
    help me regarding this.
    Thanks,
    Ants Balajei

    You should try avoid creating sessions on demand but cache/pool them...

  • LaserJet 500 color M551 - tray 2 doesn't close

    I don't quite know the circumstances that lead to this happening, but looks like, all the sudden, tray 2 just wouldn't close. Just about when it should close, i feel some resistance maybe from the back of the tray, but not sure. I spent quite some time looking for any clues, such as anything bent, broken, warped, etc, but found nothing. Tried a lot of things, including resets and whatnot, but nothing worked.So i tried something that, right now, i know i shouldn't have; i got the tray from another M551 here at the office, just to see if it was something with the tray, and now... the tray on the other one ALSO doesn't close.  There was no forcing, bending, slamming, nothing like that. Just brough the tray over, put it in, saw it wouldn't close, brought it back, and it wouldn't close on the original, none of the trays do on any of the 2 printers.What's going on with these things???

    Found a temporary fix... that includes removing a partThis is being caused by the lock not engaging properly. I have no idea what the designation for any of these parts is, i'll just make things up and hope they make any sense.There is a guide with a pin on back of the tray , that goes into the lock. I would assume that, once the pin touches the lock, the lock would "pull" the tray in, that's how it seemed to work. The way it's happening right now, the lock is still engaging but not pulling the tray in, causing an obstruction that won't let the tray close. It's possible to manually arm the lock by pushing a tab nearby, tried multiple times, but i couldn't get it to sync. So i just removed the pin from the guide on the tray, and that bypasses the lock. Now the tray closes and the printer functions properly, it just behaves like trays without lock.  Not ideal, but as long as it works i'm fine with it. May not be a bad solution actually, just as "preventive measure" - one less things to malfunction.If someone knows how to fix, reset or whatever needs to be done to the lock, i'd still like to know\o  

  • Download connections doesn't close after I cancel the download, it keep like I am download and only close when I disable the network adapter or reset the router or the firewall

    download connections doesn't close after I cancel the download, it keep like I am downloading and only close when I disable the network adapter or reset the router or the firewall.
    I use pfsense as my firewall and see the traffic not reseting to zero when I cancel download.
    Also, IE doesn't have this problem. When I cancel the download the traffic drops to zero.

    And this problem seems to be systemwide. Since I created a new user and under which problem still exists.
    Hope apple will look into it

  • Spotlight preview window often doesn't close

    OSX10.5. Spotlight. preview window in the spotlight search results column opens normally, but sometimes doesn't close. just sits there on top of all desktop items. So far the only way to get rid of it is to restart which is  a pain. Any thoughts?

    I am having the same problem: iTunes hangs when I try to quit. I haven't noticed it hanging at any other time, just when I try to quit. However, it also takes an extremely long time (one to three minutes) to start up and will sometimes quit in the middle of starting up. I am wondering if I have corrupted song files or something in my library? Or a corrupted plist file? Anybody have any ideas?
    I did just transfer this library from a G4 Mac running iLife '06 to the new MacBook Pro running iLife '09. Is there some incompatible file that didn't get updated, perhaps?

  • MacBook Pro display doesn't close down properly.

    We have one MacBook Pro that doesn't close down properly. The display just bounces up. Is there any way to fix this or is this something that needs to be fixed by a technician?

    Try blowing out the slots where the two "prongs" come up, and the release button slot (push it in and out a bit while doing this) with compressed air. (use your lungs if you don't have a can of air).
    Often a bit of crumb or other gunk will impede the mechanism enough to prevent the magnets from being able to do their job properly.
