[solved] init 5 and logout from Xorg session -- crash

Hi guys and gals!
Hope this is the right forum.
I have a strange issue here with restarting Xorg sessions. As long as I just boot up or use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to start and shutdown X, there's no problem at all, session manager (kdm) comes up properly and everything is just fine. But if I logout from the environment (KDE3), Xorg crashes and I get a black screen with a blinking cursor or even full of strange y" symbols on vc/7.
On the other virtual consoles I'm able to run startx and this is still in runlevel 5!
Here are the last 50 lines from Xorg.0.log after such a crash:

Of course, I can switch to runlevel 3 and then 5 again to get a session manager, but you have to be root for this and I got other users here. So this is quite stupid.
I can't remember to had this problem before, it seems to be since my update yesterday. Repositories only current, extra and community, pacnew files are all merged with my configs. Don't see any cause.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks.

This is already in another thread : http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=43799
It's probably a nvidia bug, but there is a workaround given at the end of the other thread.

I set the prefferance to show tabs and windows from last session but every time i power down my firefox or my Mac all my app tabs and windows disapear. what's wrong with my settings.

I set my preferences to '''show all tabs and windows from last session''' and un-checked the box for '''don't load tabs until selected''' but every time I turn off fire fox and power down my Mac all my app tabs disappear.

Make sure that you do not use Clear Recent History to clear the <i>Browsing History</i> when you close Firefox.

How to logout from a session

I have an application which is configured with SSO, but I am not able to understand how can I logout from the session.
can anyone please help me out with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton

Are the pages in different webapps? In Tomcat, for example, you'll have one session per webapp. Invalidating the session for one webapp won't invalidate a session for another webapp.
This is handled by Tomcat's Single-Sign On valve (this needs to be configured in TOMCAT/conf/server.xml).

HT203998 If I login from one account and logout from them

If I login from one account and logout from them, I can not see the user which I made hidden using the above commands, but when I restart my mac I can see that hidden user on login screen, please help, I don't want to see the hidden user even after restart.

Hi uddipatel,
Welcome to the Support Communities! Here is how you hide a user account in the login window on your Mac:
How to hide a user account in OS X - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203998
Hide a user account in OS X Yosemite
You can prevent a user account from appearing in the login window in OS X Yosemite by using these steps:.
1. Log in as an admin user.
2. Use this Terminal command, substituting the short account name name of the user you wish to hide for “hiddenuser”:
sudo dscl . create /Users/hiddenuser IsHidden 1
If you later want to show the hidden user, set the user’s IsHidden attribute to 0 like this:
sudo dscl . create /Users/hiddenuser IsHidden 0
You can optionally delete the IsHidden attribute instead of setting it to 0.
Additional Options
You can also move the hidden user's home directory to a place not visible from the Finder, and remove the hidden user's Public Folder share point.
The following command moves the home directory of "hiddenuser" to /var, a hidden directory:
sudo mv /Users/hiddenuser /var/hiddenuser
The following command updates the user record of "hiddenuser" with the new home directory path in /var:
sudo dscl . -create /Users/hiddenuser NFSHomeDirectory /var/hiddenuser
The following command removes the Public Folder share point for the user with the long name "Hidden User”:
sudo dscl . -delete "/SharePoints/Hidden User's Public Folder"
Hide a user account in earlier versions of OS X
There are three ways you can hide a user in versions of OS X earlier than Yosemite.
Set the Login window to display name and password fields
In the Users & Groups preferences pane (Accounts pane in Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier), click Login Options, then select "Display login window as: Name and password".
With this enabled, no user accounts are listed in the Login window.
If changing the Login Window to only display the name and password fields does not meet your needs, then you can use the following steps in this article to hide a user account.
Add users to the HiddenUsersList (advanced)
With Mac OS X v10.4 and later you can hide users from the Login window by adding them to the HiddenUsersList array in the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist file. The following command will hide the users "mei" and "anne" from the Login window:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow HiddenUsersList -array-add mei anne
Note: These users will still appear in the Accounts (Mac OS X v10.6 and earlier) or Users & Groups (OS X Lion) pane in System Preferences.
Lower the user's UID and enable the Hide500Users option (advanced)
You can use the advanced steps below to change a user's UID, adjust their home directory permissions and enable the Hide500Users option. An example user account "tom" is used below.
The following sample Terminal command changes the user tom's UID to 401. Note: Check to make sure the new UID is not in use before making this change.
sudo dscl . -create /Users/tom UniqueID 401
This command adjusts the permissions of the user's home directory:
sudo chown -R tom /Users/tom/
Enable the Hide500Users option with this command:
sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow Hide500Users -bool YES

System no longer does session restore but when trying to configure, it does not provide me with the option to show windows and tabs from last session

Before I updated the latest version of Firefox, every time the browser shuts down in error, I would get the System Restore feature which was really nice. Now, this no longer happens and when I went to configure this ability, it does not even provide me with the option to select to show windows and tabs from the last session. How can I get the restore session feature working again?

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
*You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
*To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>
* Deselect: [ ] "Permanent Private Browsing mode"

On start show windows and tabs from last session !

This is a feature of Firefox which I am missing in Safari. Or perhaps is there such a feature ?
As it is now, when I close down and restart Safari, all my previous tabs and windows are gone; actually it is possible to reopen all windows from last session (History menu) but not all tabs.

Perhaps you could try either the Sessions or SafariRestore extensions? They're down in the productivity section of the extensions gallery.

Logout from AM session through Proramatically ( using an http request)

Hi Everyone,
I want to logout from the AccessManager via Programatically through an http request? Is there any such url by invoking an HTTP post request we can logout from the Access Manager session?
Thanks,
Ranjith.

Hi,
You can do a post to /amserver/UI/Logout ar you ca programatically destroy the session using something like:
SSOTokenManager manager = SSOTokenManager.getInstance();
SSOToken token = manager.createSSOToken(cookieValue.trim());
manager.destroyToken(token);

XFree86 and/or Xvesa and friends from Xorg

I just wanted to know these two things:
1, Why isn't XFree86 included?
I assume this goes against some part of the Arch KISS philosophy, in which case I'm fine with it and can/will leave it alone.
2, If #1 is what I think it is, why aren't the Xorg versions of Xvesa, Xephyr, Xfbdev and so on included in the repos?
I can't understand any reason why these should be removed from Arch Xorg packages; if included (even if in another package), they'd provide additional functionality, not take it away.

XFree86 is old and effectively unmaintained (last release >1year ago). It was forked and replaced by Xorg.
All of those features (all part of KDrive) have been merged into Xorg. If we don't have the package in the repo, then build it yourself like everyone else does (see the AUR) -- we don't take any functionality away from you.
Google and you'll find that you could make a build of xorg-server enabling the parts you want.

Can't see what I am typing after logout from Xorg

Hello,
I noticed this problem a few years ago , I thought that it was related to my computer, of something I was doing wrong, but I noticed that this problem appears every time for me, with every computer. I'll try to explain it, but it will be hard
So, this problem appears at least in the two following cases:
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) without any xf86-video-driver installed, it crashes (as expected), and comes back to tty.
- After editing the .xinitrc file, I start Xorg as user (typing startx) with the right xf86-video-driver installed, it works. I see my windows manager (Openbox) I click "Logout" to come back from X to tty.
But, once I came back to tty, I can't see what I am typing in the terminal (like a freeze). My commands are executed (I can logout) but I don't see what I am typing. If I try to edit a textfile using nano, it seems to be frozen. The only solution after that to see what I am typing is to logout, and login again. The only solution to edit a textfile using nano after that is to reboot my computer...
Haven't to noticed that ? Am I doing something wrong ? Isn't it a bug ?
Thank you

Adobe Bridge CS4 doesnt keep workspace layout and folders from previous session.

After I was working with my photos in specific folder I set workspace layout to specific size of UI elemenst. Like preview windows size, thumnnail size, navigator panel size and so on. When I restart my PC and launched Bridge again - it is again meessed up nad set to some strage sizes and the main bugger it doesnt preserve folder I was working before.
What might be a problem?
Thank you
Bridge CS4 3.0.0.464
Windows 7 Professional 64bit.

Assuming that you are closing Bridge correctly and not just shutting down the computer, the fault is probably with the fact that Bridge is Autostarted in the background due to it being enabled in Bridge preferences.
Setting that as default was a big mistake from Adobe.

ArchCK: gensplash issues and logout problems

Home Sync never completes on a logout from OSX Server

I have a Mac Pro running 10.6.4 and MacBook running same rev level. Seemed to have successfully configured Open Directory on the Mac Pro to manage mobile accounts. Mac Pro OD also is configured with AFP file sharing turned "on" and /Network share for storing portable home folders for the mobile accounts.
When logging into a managed mobile account on the MacBook, Home Sync fires up fine and completes its work. Created a file and saved it. Log out and Home Sync places file back into the Mac Pro repository for the Home Folders (under /Network). All seems well, until....
I decide to do some work on the MacPro with the managed mobile account. The login completes fine. I work with the file I originally created while on the MacBook. The problem occurs when I logout from this session. A message pops up indicating, and I paraphrase, that a Sync would not be necessary if I were to use /Network location. I click ok and the system proceeds to perform a Home Sync that then runs forever (ok all night or 8 hours after which time I click cancel).
Any ideas on resolving this problem? Thanks!

Please disregard my earlier post. I found what my problem is. I had the incorrect IP address setup on my client (long story).

How to get Multiple Values for a key from a session object?

Hi,
It might seem dumb but I am facing a problem here with the session object. I'll paste the session object's content from the netbeans "Local Variables" window for clarity -
Name Type Value
hsession StandardSessionFacade #66
session LWSFSession #69
inherited
attributes Hashtable #80
[0] Hashtable$Entry "cart"=>#115
key String "cart"
value DummyCart #115
item null
submit null
v Vector
[0] String Full Metal Jacket
[1] String As Good As It Gets
[2] String Tim
What I want is to get the values "Full Metal Jacket", "As Good As It Gets" and "Tim" from the session obejct?
The problem I am facing is that if I do a session.getAttribute("cart"), I'll get a single value in return. What will that value be? Will it be "item", "submit" or "v"? And if I want all the values in v above, how can I get them?
Thanks.

None of the above.
HttpSession.getAttribute() will return what you put into it using HttpSession.setAttribute(). In your case, it'll return an Object which you need to cast to DummyCart. Then you can access the data in DummyCart using the API of the DummyCart class.

Firefox does not reopen tabs from previous session

Hi,
When I start firefox it does not reopen the tabs I had open from the previous time Firefox was open, despite following suggestions in other support articles mentioning a similar problem.
I have seen these other similar problems and solutions in the support forums but none of them describe exactly my problem and none of their solutions fix my problem:
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/800462#answer-154670
http://support.mozilla.com/bn-BD/questions/796107#answer-151748
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/786128#answer-139770
As suggested in the above articles I have gone to about:config and ensured that all of
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
browser.warnOnQuit
browser.warnOnRestart
browser.showQuitWarning
are set to true.
With all the above set to true I have also tried in
Options -> General -> Startup -> When Firefox Starts
varying the setting between
"Show my windows and tabs from last time"
and
"Show my homepage"
When I have this set to "Show my homepage" Firefox does ask me when I'm closing it down if I would like to save my tabs for next time. I select Save and Quit, yet when I reopen Firefox it opens only a single tab, my homepage.
When I have it set to "Show my windows and tabs from last time" Firefox does NOT ask me when I'm closing it down if I would like to save my tabs for next time. When I reopen Firefox it opens only a single tab, my homepage.

I ddin't have this problem ubtil today! If I closed Firefox with open tabs, then when I reopened Firefox, the tabs were there. It was like that first thing this morning but now, at 10:37, it warns me when I try to close it with multiple tabs open and when I reopen Firefox it reopens without the previous tabs! I have opted for "show my windows and tabs from previous session". Restore previous session is inoperative. Presumably, there's been another update which has caused this, as with the RSS feeds disappearing.

Moving Tracks From One Session To Another

I have a two DVD project that has one session for each. I wanted to know if there is a way to take a menu and track from one session to the other without having to build the track and menu buttons again. Somewhat like importing session data in pro tools if that helps. Thanks.

You can export the descriptions of the items then import them into the project you would like to bring them into. May have to relink items, but alot of it will be bought it.
