[SOLVED] KDE Start New Session doesn't work from lock screen

On my laptop, if I lock the KDE 4 session and then click Switch Users > Start New Session, I get a login screen and can log in as a different user. All good.
If I do the same thing on my desktop, it doesn't work. When I click Switch Users > Start New Session, it doesn't start a new session or switch VTs. Instead, I just get reprompted for the existing user's password.
Both machines are running fully updated Arch. Anyone know how I can troubleshoot this? The only difference I can think of between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has nomodeset specified as a kernel boot parameter. (It won't boot without it.) Could this be interfering with automatic VT switching? Manual VT switching (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+F1) works fine.

Little more detail. Checking the journal, I can see Xorg is failing to start on display :1. If I compare Xorg.0.log with Xorg.1.log, it appears that it's not finding the proprietary NVIDIA driver in the second case. Don't know why it would be any different for :1, though. See?

"OK Google" won't work from lock screen in lollipop

Wishing I hadn't bothered with the lollipop update as this has really diminished my phones usage.
I had been able to use the "ok google" voice command to make phone calls, change music etc while using my bluetooth headset connected to my motorbike helmet whilst my phone was in my pocket with the screen off & locked.
Since updating to lollipop I cannot get this to work on the Z3 & I am really disappointed with this.
Reading feature articles regarding loliypop this should work from the lockscreen but it doesn't & I now really wish I hadn't bothered with this gaudy update, for me lollipop is a huge backwards step - not liking it at all.

Try doing this if you didn't do it before:
- Go to your app drawer and start "Google Settings" app
- Under "Services", select "Search & Now" -> "Voice" -> "OK Google detection"
- Check the option of "From any screen"
- Go through the voice training wizard to get the process completed.
If you find the option already active, and you had upgraded to Lollipop without resetting your device to factory settings. I'd suggest going to Settings -> Apps -> Google App -> Force stop and Clear Cache -> Restart phone -> Redo the above procedure.
Let us know if this works.

Notification center and control center only work from lock screen on my iPhone 6

When I try to swipe down to get notification center or up to get control center from any screen but my lock screen, I can't. Is there a setting or something that I need to change?

That is correct. Are you starting from off the screen area itself? You cannot start from on the screen. You need to be just off of the screen to begin. See if that helps. If not, then do a reset on the phone. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. Check operation after that.

I am guessing this is malware or adware of some sort. Ty scanning with multiple and up-to-date tools
Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.
You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

I reset my forgotten password via email on my computer, but 2 hours later new passowrd doesn't work from iPhone What am I missing?

I reset my forgotten password via email on my computer. Two hours later still cannot use new password on my iPhone 5 ios 7.x.x. Am I missing something?

Try going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Notification center: slide to reply not working from lock screen

Hi,
The "slide to reply" feature for messages is not working when the iPhone is locked. My Phone is passphrase protected. When I recieve a message and finger swipe the "slide to reply" (via the notification center) when my phone is locked it asks for the password rather than taking me to the message app directly. Is this the expected behaviour?
Appreciate any comments/suggestions.

Your iPhone will always ask for the passcode (if you have one) if it is locked.

Camera button not working from locked screen.

Recently I tried to take a photo from my locked screen. Usually I just double click my home button and the camera pops right up and I can take a picture. This time though, the camera icon does pop up, but when I go to click it the camera icon just "jumps" and will not open the camera option. It's very annoying for when I just want to take a picture, now I have to go through the motion of unlocking my phone and going to the camera. OH, also on the locked screen, the camera icon has two lines, both over and under it.
How can I fix this, is it in the settings somewhere?

Touch the camera icon and scroll all the way up. You do not have to double click the home button.

New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN

All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.

Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...? I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.

Accidentally hit "Start New Session"... URLs in a crash report or something?

Ok, so I knew it would happen sooner or later, and just kept hoping it would be later...
I hit "Start New Session" instead of restore today... Looked around for previous solutions, and found no sessionstore.bak in my folder...
FF had crashed previously in the day, and I had hoped that would mean all the reloaded windows would be in today's history(some were a few months old), but that doesn't seem to be the case. (and I guess it doesn't help that my system is backdated(cause of 7100))
So I am wondering if there happens to be any sort of crash report archive that may happen to have the urls that were open in some way? Long shot I know but I figured I'd at least ask.

Hello.
Although possibly not related to your problem, I have to remind you that the version of Firefox you are using at the moment has been discontinued and is no longer supported. On top of this, it has known unpatched bugs and security problems. I urge you to update to the latest version of Firefox, for maximum security, stability, performance and usability. You can get it for free, as always, at [http://www.getfirefox.com getfirefox.com].
If you haven't closed Firefox since then, you can access ''about:sessionrestore'' to restore the lost session. If you closed Firefox in the mean time, I believe there's no way to get your session back. [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Session+Restore Session Restore] will always get your last session back, and solely the last session.
P.S.: I'm not certain ''about:sessionrestore'' is available in old versions of Firefox. Versions of Firefox before 3.5 are no longer supported, in any case, as I said.

Start new session automatically after the current one is expired

Hi Guys,
My application should be displayed on the screen 24/7 . The information there is being refreshed every 5 minutes. When the APEX session is expired the refresh stops working and the page has to be reloaded.
I'm looking for the solution that would allow to keep the application always on and to start new session automatically without a human being involved.
Thanks in advance,
Elena

Hi everybody,
Being impatient, I've already found a solution. I created a JavaScript function the reloads the page. Instead of current session ID in the url I use 1. In this case apex generates the new session.
The Timer Plug-in runs the function every X minutes.
The function code is the following:
function reload() {
     var url = location.href;
     var g_app_id = '&APP_ID.';
     var g_page_id = '&APP_PAGE_ID.';
     var patt = new RegExp("[^=]+","i"); // i - Perform case-insensitive matching
     var newUrl = url.match(patt) + "=" + g_app_id + ":" + g_page_id + ":1";
     window.location.assign(newUrl);
I hope it might be helpful for you guys.
Regards,
Elena

9800 new battery doesn't work

hello
I bought a new battery for my torch, cause the old one draines very quickly. so the new battery doesn't work, it has an X and the OS doesn't load. I've reinstaled 3 times the OS so it's not this problem. also I've charged the battery 1 day, with blackberry original charger.
I've tried every step I found on forums but with nou luck
any help please..
the battery it's new, it's the same as the original one, I don't know if it's original 100% but it's the same as the one I had before.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I recommend that you attempt to boot into Safe Mode:
KB17877 How to start a BlackBerry smartphone in Safe Mode
It may take you multiple attempts to get the ESC key sequence (press/release/hold) correct, so be patient. When successfully into Safe Mode, see what happens.
If the behavior ceases, then think carefully...what happened just before this behavior started? A new app? An update? A Theme? Something else? Think carefully as the smallest change could be causal...and attempt to undo whatever that was.
If the behavior continues in Safe Mode, then you should investigate more harsh remedies...WIPE, OS Reload, OS Update, BBSAK Wipe/Reload, "Bare Bones" diagnostic reload process, etc.
Good luck and let us know!

I accidentally chose 'Start New Session' instead of 'Resume Last Session' upon opening. Any way to recover the tabs?

I accidentally chose 'Start New Session' instead of 'Resume Last Session' upon opening. Any way to recover the tabs?

Hi abass4982,
You could try going to ''History > Restore Previous Session''. It might not work, but it's worth a try!
Hopefully this helps!

Where should I change the adapter? It doesn't work from the start.

where should I change the adapter? It doesn't work from the start. But there is no apple store in our city.

The phone does not charge when linking with adaptor. But it is OK when linking PC using USB instead. I do not know why, but I am just sure there is something wrong with the adaptor.

Missing "Start New Session"

Since last week the "Start New Session" option has been missing.

When i close window with multiple tabs angd start new session (open new window) old tabs open again, how can i stop it?

when i close window with multiple tabs and start new session (open new window) old tabs open again, how can i stop it?

It is possible that there is a problem with the files [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
Delete [http://kb.mozillazine.org/sessionstore.js sessionstore.js] and sessionstore.bak in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Profile Folder]
* Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).
