[SOLVED] dwm: cannot open mixer

I've been setting up dwm through the last hours and I had an issue with sound playback. Firstly, I can play any sound from the console or any other wm. The problem appears when I start dwm by using xinit but loading it through gdm seems to solve the problem but still I'm not satisfied with that solution. I think that gdm do something in order to grant access to the sound card but on the other hand I still have another problem with multiple running applications that playback sound, only the first opened application can.
After starting dwm with xinit I get "amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such file or directory" and by running alsamixer I get "cannot open mixer: No such file or directory".
Thanks in advance

Well, I checked those posts.
/dev/mixer exists
I tried to load the snd-pcm-oss but nothing changed.
However I noticed that I can run alsamixer as root. I'm not sure but maybe having to run gdm as root while running xinit as user made the difference but still it doesn't make sense since I can run openbox with xinit and everything works fine. I'll keep trying
EDIT: Finally, I tried to load openbox through xinit and had the same problem. Next I tried to reboot removing gdm from the daemons and start dwm directly with the xinitrc options. Now it seems to work fine. Maybe gdm blocked the sound card once it opened.

[Solved] [KDE] Cannot open ConsoleKit session error message on startup

Hi all,
I've just installed updates on my system, and I now get a popup message along the lines of "Cannot create Consolekit session. Process /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper received signal 5"
The corresponding message in ~/.xsession-errors is:
"Cannot create unix session: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled: Process /usr/lib/dbus-1.0/dbus-daemon-launch-helper received signal 5"
Any idea what might be going on? I have checked, dbus seems to be running. Other than that, the desktop seems to work normally.

Cannot open mk:@msitstore: [path name]

I'm working in Robhelp for Word 7 and up until last week I
was able to view the results of my compiled help in Robohelp. When
the file is done compiling and I try to click 'View Results,' I now
get 'Cannot open the file:
mk:@msitstore:x\doc_4x\ap\output\flexi\fap32.chm. Now I can go to
my output folder in Windows Explorer and open the .chm with no
problems, but I can't view my results while in RoboHelp. Tried the
View Primary Layout icon as well and get the same error message.
I've gone to the website that tells you to download the .ocx file
and re-register it. I've removed any software I had recently loaded
on my machine. Nothing works. I've even deleted the RHTemp#
directories.

How I solved the Cannot open the file: mk@MSITStore issue. (Moreover, my chm was suddenly 2x standart size.)
Downloaded & ran MJsDiag.exe , which reported: File not found: C:\Program Files\itcc.dll.
Copied the dll from a windows32 subdirectory on my C:\ drive (which I can't find at the moment) to the Program Files directory. No change in results.
Returned to RH8, opened Single Source Layouts > Microsoft HTML Help > Properties dialog. In Additional Options, unflagged the Optimize CHM File Size check box. Flagged the Apply to all Topics check box, enabling the CSS radio button and the adjacent field, which listed default.css.
Left-clicked Finish button. Successfully generated .chm file (to my desktop) and found that the file had returned to the expected size, @ 49 MB.

[SOLVED] "cannot open shared object file" but library is installed

I'm trying to run a digital logic simulation tool called "atanua" but I'm getting a missing library error:
$ atanua
/opt/atanua101120/atanua: error while loading shared libraries: libSDL_image-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I tried re-installing both atanua (from AUR) and sdl_image (from repos) but the error remains.
$ ldd /opt/atanua101120/atanua | grep sdl_image
libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 => not found
I can find the "missing" library though:
$ locate libsdl_image
/usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libSDL_image-1.2.so.0.8.2
/usr/lib/libSDL_image.a
/usr/lib/libSDL_image.so
And so can the loader:
$ ldconfig -v | grep sdl_image
libSDL_image-1.2.so.0 -> libSDL_image.so
My initial thought is that the problem is a name mismatch between the program and the system, but I don't know the proper way to fix this. Does anyone know what I should try next?
Here's my system specs:
$ uname -a
Linux 3.0-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Oct 19 10:27:51 CEST 2011 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Thanks for your help.

You're right. Some how [multilib] got disabled in my pacman.conf so I didn't spot a 32-bit version of the library. I uncommented the [multilib] lines, searched again, and found it. Problem solved. Thank you.

Your guess led me to the conclusion!
AUR packages were not the problem, but what I did was I force-removed gtk2 and gtk3 packages and then installed them again. Everything works now, thanks.
Here's exactly what I did
pacman -Rdd harfbuzz-git pango gtk2 gtk3 librsvg pangomm libtiger
pacman -S gtk2 gtk3

I download last update numbers. Now I cannot open the previous files. The screen asked to upload. How to solve this problem?

The screen asked to donwload the new numbers program. I already have done it. I cannot open the previous files. How to solve this problem?

If by the "screen asked to upload" you mean you see a message to upgrade Numbers, then probably what is happening is that you have two versions of Numbers on your Mac, the new version in the main Applications folder and the old one in a subfolder named 'Work '09. This is as intended.
Try opening your document with the new version of Numbers that is in the Applications folder, not the Numbers that is in the subfolder.

[Solved] "cannot open display" after suspend/resume, possibly broadcom

Hey peoples,
[EDIT: I think my initial assumptions are incorrect, this issue seems to be occurring independently of whatever wifi driver I have loaded]
I'm finding that after suspend/resume my machine will not open any new windows. The windows that were already open continue to function. If I've left a terminal open, and attempt to open a new window I get the message:
[framps@localhost ~]$ firefox
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyInvalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyError: cannot open display: :0.0
I've found that removing the broadcom-wl driver from my system seems to fix the issue. I can't see anything particularly obvious in my dmesg. I think I need the broadcom-wl driver as I have not been able to get b43 or bcma to work for my machine.

It seems that the only option for my wifi card, BCM43228 is the proprietary broadcom-wl.
Can anyone suggest how I might be able to get any debugging information for this module? Maybe this driver is conflicting with something else on my system, as I can't find anyone else that is seeing this same issue.
Very frustrating, my machine is a Thinkpad Edge E530. Because I ordered from New Zealand there was no option to include the alternative Intel card and I was stuck with the broadcom. Apparently there's a whitelist on the BIOS aswell which will prevent me from installing another card.

[SOLVED!] WINE: libSM.so.6: cannot open shared object file= fail

Greetings,
So today I decided I'd play an old windows game with my son. It's been a while since I've played wine game with him... since my last reinstallthat I did just for the S&G to play with the new install method.
Anyways, I go through the motions, installing wine and all that. Then I go and click on the game to run. Nothing.
So, I go and try to run it through command line. I get this fun stuff:
wine H5_Game.exe

Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
Unknown error (127).
I search the mighty internets and try many different things. But I cannot seem to find the file that gives "libSM.so.6" or whatever is needed to make this work. So defeated, I come to you to ask that you please give me a leg up here.
Thanks, in advance, for any and all help!

Honestly, I did not know about pkgfile.
So, I installed it and determined that while I have libsm, I was missing lib32_libsm. So installing that fixed my issue with WINE.
Thanks for the leg up Trilby! Most appreciated!

[SOLVED] Cannot open display: . Problem from Terminal

Hi,
I have a small problem with X I guess. I hope you can help me, as extensive googleling did not help.
I'm just configuring my arch install (newbie). Everything I have configured so far works great, the documentation is really good. I can start my xfce sessions an everything. However, I just wanted to look something up, when
$ xfce4-about
printed the following error:
xfce4-about: Cannot open display: .
This happened from terminal, not within a xfce-session.
Does anyone have an idea how I should proceed to eliminate this minor problem?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Seems you can't run xfce4-about from the non-X terminal, just like you can't run firefox.

My ld.so.conf didn't have an entry for /opt/qt/lib! I added it. VirtualBox still can't see libqt-mt.so.3 though, unfortunately.
[max@pwn etc]$ cat ld.so.conf
# /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/qt/lib
/opt/lib32/lib

I really appreciate the support guys

Cannot open any Java files on my Mac OSX: Problem Solved

Hello all,
I have just begun an Introduction to Java class and I'm already having problems...namely, I cannot open .java files on my Mac.
Whenever I try to open them, I get an error message that says: "You cannot use this version of the application Xcode with this version of Mac OS X."
I'm running version 10.5.4 on a PowerPC Mac. It's a few years old, but I don't understand how it could already be so outdated as to not allow me to even use the application.
I am 100% new to programming and don't really know at all what I'm doing. Apple says their JDK comes with every Mac and no one else seems to be having this problem. I don't really even know where to go to for updates, if that is what I need to do, or if I should just download a different JDK.
This is an intensive (6-week) class and I don't want to fall behind, but it's halfway through the first week and I cannot even open files.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
EDIT: I figured out the problem by getting out my installation disks and I found the latest xCode tools app in the "optional packages" folder.
Installed it and now I'm up and running.

You can download Adobe Reader from adobe.com. The Mac OSX uses its "reader" to open PDF files without the Adobe Reader. If you downloader adobe reader, it should open all PDF files. Hope this helps.
