[solved]googledoc only loads as root

I just installed Arch for the 2nd time ever, everything went very smooth, even poulsbo. I was hoping to get through everything without asking for help, but I don't even know how to search this problem.
I notice that with Midori I could load the webpage
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/vie … MEtlUWc6MQ
only as root. No idea how this could be.

How are you launching the application as root? If you're using "sudo midori" or "su -c midori", then you've probably messed up the ownership of your config/cache files.
ls -lR .midori
(not sure if that's the correct directory for midori, may be ~/.local/share/midori, or ~/.config/midori).
In short, check the ownership of midori-related files. Change back to $UID:$GID if they're owned by root.

[SOLVED] Trackpad only working as root

I just installed arch on my late 2011 macbook pro. Almost everything worked fine out of the box but I have an issue with the trackpad, it does not work at all if I startx as a regular user. If I start X as root it seems to work fine.
The only unusual message I see in X's error log is the following:
xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL for I/O (Operation not permitted)
Please be patient with me as I don't have a mouse to edit the post properly or paste the full error log.
Thanks in advance for your help.

It looks like spoke too soon. The problem was related to the permissions for /dev/input/event11 it only has group permissions for group input. What was needed was to add my user to the "input" group.

[SOLVED] Scribes only launches as root (was Scribes won't launch)

Hi! I just installed Arch. I wanted to use Scribes as my text editor. I was able to open it once and now it won't open. I get a Starting Scribes message on my bottom panel (I'm using Gnome) but then nothing happens. It's set as the default text editor, but no files will open with it either. I'm using Scribes 0.3.3.3-1.
Any ideas? I uninstalled and reinstalled the scribes package.

I'm posting to this really old thread because this is my problem now.
I have this version of Scribes:
$ pacman -Qs scribes-bzr

A simple PyGTK+ text editor
If I ran it as root, no problem, but, as myself, I got the following error:

Flashplayer only works as root

Hello there. Since this is rather long time since this thread http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51055 ([solved]Flash only works as root?) I made a new thread. I've installed firefox with pacman -S firefox. So did I installed flashplugin. The problem is that when I go to youtube.com or any other site that has flash clipcs and when I click play, firefox will just crash without warning. Here is the firefox output:
$ firefox

jej, after moving ~/.mozilla flash is working under ff That's awesome.
tavianator, do you know how can I move chromium profile? Chromium still has problems it reporst: This extension has crashed: /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so
EDIT: nah, after opening and closing firefox for a few times, now I'm also not able to watch youtube.com with it :S

[Solved] Volume Control only works on root (Xfce)

I just installed Xfce and everything has been going great. The only problem I have run into so far is a permissions error with the volume control as well as a problem streaming music from Pandora using Pithos. When ever I try to use the Mixer applet on a normal user account I get this error:
GStreamer was unable to detect any sound devices. Some sound system specific GStreamer packages may be missing. It may also be a permissions problem.
I also get this error (only on non-root accounts when trying to use Pithos to stream music from Pandora):
GStreamer error: state change failed and some element failed to post a proper error message with the reason for the failure.
I believe that both are permission errors, but how would I fix it?

[SOLVED] Can only open X as root - can't read a file in /tmp/

xkbcomp reports:
Error: cannot close "/tmp/server-0.kbm" properly (not enough space?)
(...) #Some stuff here
Error: couldn't compile keymap
XKB: Failed to compile keymap
Keyboard initialization failed. This could be a missing or incorrect setup of xkeyboard-config.
df /tmp/

I "rm -rf'd" /tmp/, and recreated it, but right after df /tmp, said "Use: 100%".
How can I reopen X, or *truly* clean /tmp/?

As root, it works, but I really shouldn't run X as root, and I need to fix this, thank you!

I've been running X as non-root for a few weeks now, it always worked. Only now it only works as root.
Also, I thought I had fixed this last night, because I re-compiled cairo-xcb from source to match new libpng update. It worked after, but now it's not working again.

Itunes only loads half way problem

I don't normaly but at the moment I'm getting realy pi$$ed off, I've spent hours each day for the last week trying to fix my itunes store problem. It will only load to half way then all I get is a white screen. Can anyone help me? I have windows XP and I think I have tried just about everything I know to get my itunes store to open past half way loading. I've now lost everything after deleating it and downloading it again. I can't even find where to backup my music anymore before deleating it..... At the moment I don't care why or how it happened but would appriciate your time to tell me how to just fix it. It's always been fine before this problem started. I got an itunes gift card for my birthday and can't get to use it....
Any help would be great. Many thanks.

If you're seeing a blank iTunes Store, see this support article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4123
If that does't help, try resetting Winsock. This has solved the problem for some people, at least.
1) Click on your start menu.
2) Go to accessories
3) Run the Command Prompt application. For those with Vista or Windows 7, right click on Comman Prompt and choose "run as administrator".
4) Once it opens, type in the following command...
netsh winsock reset
5) hit Enter and it should say something like Winsock reset successful.
6) Reboot your computer and try the iTunes Store again.
Regards.

N95 maps only loads to 30% then disappears

ok,
i installed a maps update and now maps wont start at all. if i click on maps it only loads to 30%, then just goes back to the menu.
when i looked in apps mgr it said it wasn't installed, so i installed it again only for it to say 'not installed'. thinking the file was the problem i removed the update but its just the same.
if i go to tools/landmarks (i saved the location of my home before the problem occured) then 'show on map', it says 'unable to perform operation. no suitable application installed'.
is there any way i can install the maps application? it seems i've somehow uninstalled the whole maps program?
anyone able to help?
thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try this and donate £1 to any charity if it works for you.
Goto File Manager and delete the "Cities" folder, then start up the Maps application so that it recreates its folder and file structure, then reinstall your map data and voices to the phone using Map Loader. This should do the trick.

How can i solve "could not load language and text preference "

how can i solve " could not load language and text preference ".. help everyone...

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

After upgrading to Solaris 10 "Can't load the root filesystem" on V245

I have a Sunfire V245 that was running on Solaris 9 (very stable). I upgraded to Solaris 10 (6/06) this morning and everything seemed to go smoothly. After the upgrade the system rebooted, but will not boot. I get the following uptput;
Rebooting with command: boot

Please help.
Thanks in advanced,

It seems like the driver for that device does not exist. Since the system installed successfully it means that it S10 did find a disk. I wonder if that was a different disk than the default disk. Please boot to the miniroot and check the disk info.

Itunes will only load on C drive, not E drive

Greetings, Itunes will only load on C drive. (new build win 8.1) I have a 120G SSD for C and a 1tg Hdd for E. I am trying to load itunes on the E drive (1tb hdd) but no matter what I do, it loads on the C drive. I tried running install file from the E drive. It installs itunes on the E drive. I check the C drive and its not there. But when I sync (homeshare) it puts everything on the C drive.
I have tried just changing the letter C to a E on the screen where it asks where you want it installed. I have tried just a E, I have tried creating a folder on E first. and evey other combination of the above. (complete uninstalls between attempts
Itunes will not fit on the C drive.
Thanks in advance

Well, I talked with a guy at work who has done the same as I'm trying. He says that besides setting up Itunes in the new drive, that there is another place where you have to tell itunes where to put the import data. But he can't remember where it was,so I am pointed in the right direction anyway.
