[SOLVED] Gnome login hangs on the first try

Since this past weekend, when I try to log into gnome, it accepts my password and greys out the password entry box, but just sits there forever. If I hit escape it aborts properly, and the second try always works. Where should I be looking to see what's going wrong the first time?
I'm also having another, more serious problem that may be related: whenever the "Authentication Required" window pops up for a settings change or mounting another disk, it gives me the same greyed-out hang. But trying again doesn't work, since cancelling it cancels the attempt altogether - the next try just hangs again. As it is I can only do any root operations through the command-line; gnome is totally neutered by this. So -- what is this gksu-like functionality of gnome 3 properly called, and how do I debug it? Does it have a log somewhere I should look for?

I've restarted polkitd on the command-line without --no-debug, and it shows NO relevant information at all. After cancelling the grayed-out dialog, I get:
Error performing authentication: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1.Error.Cancelled: Authentication dialog was dismissed by the user (polkit-error-quark 1)
21:54:02.838: Operator of unix-session:2 FAILED to authenticate to gain authorization for action org.freedesktop.policykit.exec for unix-process:10885:60499253 [bash] (owned by unix-user:jorenko)
But there's nothing from when I entered my password and the graying-out began.
Interestingly, when I used --replace to replace the polkitd that systemd had started for me, I got only command-line auth (gnome wouldn't launch the dialog at all, and "pkexec echo hi" gave me a command-line password prompt), which actually worked. But when first stopping the systemd version, then running it again manually, I got the above result.

Skype Windows client hangs for the first call - co...

Hi,
Skype on my Windows 8.1 (depending on its mood) hangs for the first call. It will keep ringing and ringing till it times out, during that time I am not able to hang up the call as well, the red hang up button doesnt work and we have to let the call go on till it drops on its own. Then on the second try it connects perfectly fine. This happens most of the times, there are only a few days where it connects on the first try otherwise its always the 2nd time.
Please let me know what could be the possible solution for this one?
Thanks

Issue with TestStand 2010 or 2012 hanging on the first step after continuously running TestStand?

I am having issues with a CVI test sequence hanging in TestStand 2010 & 2012. Currently, the only way to resolve this is to exit/close TestStand. Following this we must replace the entire project with a backup project. This only occurs about once a day or so with the sequence running continuously. It will hang on the first or second step in the sequence, usually the first step. The project uses several continuous XINET CAN messaging, so I wonder if this could be related to that.

Yes, I have. It hangs at the first statement in the code after all the variable defines. It does seem to be related to any particular statement, as we had skipped that test step, and then it hangs on the next step at the first statement.

Stop and refresh buttons (one will disappear while the other is active). I have found numerous websites that just don't want to load on the first try, now I am unable to refresh it (usually in a new tab) because the button disappears. BTW 255 limit is BS.

You can try to press the ESC key to stop loading the page if you see the Stop button instead of the Reload button. You can also reload the page via F5 or Ctrl + F5 (cache bypass).
Firefox 4.0 has a combined Reload and Stop and Go button that appears at the right end of the location bar.
To restore the Firefox 3 appearance you can use these steps:
* Open the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window to move the Stop and Reload button out of the location bar.
* Move the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position at the left side of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

[SOLVED] GNOME login screen freezes after 3 seconds

Hello,
today I installed Arch-Linux the first time. I had some issues during the installation (following https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger (its the german version, seems to differ a little from the english version)), but everything went good until I installed GNOME. Now the login screen freezes everytime after quite exactly 3 seconds, unless I press [strg]+[alt]+[f2] fast enough to switch in tty2. Then the screen will only freeze when I switch back to tty1. Once the screen is frozen, I can't switch to tty2 anymore.
I think the problem has something to do with my nvidia hybrid graphic system. During the installation I installed the packages bumblebee, bbswitch and primus, but uninstalled them because I thought they could be the problem. But although I uninstalled the packages, the "Stamina-Mode" status led is turned on after the system has started and the "Speed-Mode" status led not. I think that's a little bit strange, because I can't imagine which process is controlling these leds.
So I ran just
pacman -S xorg-drivers
and I had to create the xinitrc-file (because I could not find this file in /etc/skel). Now the default GUI appeared after I ran
startx
(I saw some windows and a clock). After that I installed gnome, changed the xinitrc-file in my userhome and got the freeze after a reboot.
I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, but I get the following error-messages everytime I boot:
[drm:ibx_irq_handler] *ERROR* PCH transcoder A FIFO underrun
[drm:intel_dp_start_link_train] *ERROR* too many full retries, give up
[drm:ilk_display_irq_handler] *ERROR* Pipe A FIFO underrun

But a strange thing is happening.
When I start the Reports Server and run the report for the first time everything works just fine, but when I try to run the report again i receive the following error:

IPhone 4S is on, but not goes to voicemail on the first try

Dear Community,
My wife's iphone 4s always goes to the voicemail the first time you try to call her.
We change provider 2 times, the second time in another country and it still happens.
After you call her right away again, it will ring normaly.
Hopefully someone can help as it now seems to everyone her phone isn't working.
Kind regards,
Robin

It is fixed, seemed to be the not disturb feature.
In case anyone has the same problem.
If you call within 3 minutes it will go through else will block the call.
The ones that are in favourite can still call.

[SOLVED] Trying out scripting for the first time... confused...

ok so here is the script that I have started
echo 'This is a custom updater app written by Daniel Schneider'
echo "Check for updates now? (y/n)"
read answer
if [ "$answer" = "y" ]; then
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Syu
read
fi
if [ "$answer" = "n" ]; then
exit
fi
but when ran, pacman reports another package manager running when that is not true. Here is the output exactly..
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed to init transaction (unable to lock database)
if you're sure a package manager is not already
running, you can remove /var/lib/pacman/db.lck
So how do I fix this bug in my script?
ps. I know this script is kinda silly just messing around with "coding" for the first time
Last edited by Dans564 (2011-03-22 20:11:31)

Not sure if this is true
but instead of
sudo pacman -Syy
sudo pacman -Syu
try
sudo pacman -Syy && sudo pacman -Syu
If I'm not mistaken the reason why is giving that error is because you are trying to do sudo pacman -Syy and sudo pacman -Syu at same time which is impossible . I think with a && first will do the first comand and only when this is over will run the second.

Using login credentials from the first page

Hi guys hopw one of you will help me!!
I a jsp page which takes the username and password.(this is login.jsp)
If the login is successful the page enters into another jsp which has a list of what the user wants to do.
Everything is working fine at tht moment.
But my major concern is say if i give the following ur to login:
http://localhost:8000.login.jsp
and enter the username and password.After succesfully logging in I have another jsp(register.jsp)
with the following functions:
Delete user
create user
The problem is if i give the following address in my browser:
http://localhost:8000/success.jsp directly this page is being displayed without checking for the login credentials.
Is there a way where i can check the username and password before the page is being displayed.(remeber I dont have username and password text boxes in each page).
Thanx in advance.

Yes you can do this search the forums with the search bar to the left looking for login routines and session variables.
You put the result of your loging routine (pass or fail) into a session variable. All protected pages then check this session variable, and redirect to the login page if it is not correct.
Search for session variables.

[SOLVED] Gnome doesn't apply the theme to new opened windows

Hi,
I'm using Gnome as desktop environment, but encountered a really annoying issue .
I want to change the theme and therefore do the following "Right click on desktop -> "Change desktop background" -> Theme -> "Darklooks". All opened windows (as well as the panels) get now dark, just as expected. But as soon as I open up a new windows (or add something to a panel) it doesn't get affected by the theme, but it is display with the standard bright grey. After changing the theme again (I have to choose another first, and then go back to "Darklooks") all "new" windows get dark also.
As I'm not happy with this situation I ask you for help? What is wrong with my Gnome?
