[SOLVED] LXDM Autologin Issue

I am attempting to configure autologin for LXDE using LXDM by editing /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf (autologin=username). When I do so, I am logged into a session that looks unfamiliar. It almost looks like a base openbox session or something with no wallpaper, no autostart scripts, etc. If I manually choose LXDE from the session dropdown menu in LXDM, the proper session loads. When choosing Default from the session dropdown menu in LXDM, I am logged into this unfamiliar session. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Here is my /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf file:
[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
# autologin=
## uncomment and set timeout to enable timeout autologin,
## the value should >=5
# timeout=10
## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config

Terminator wrote:The configuration file is correct and LXDM should start LXDE by default, unless you override the default session in a file ~/.dmrc. If you have such a file, try renaming/removing it. If you don't, then I have no clue.
It turns out Terminator was right. I'm not sure where I was looking before but I do have a ~/.dmrc file and it was set to Session=openbox instead of Session=lxde. I changed the setting and everything is working great now. Thanks!

[SOLVED] lxdm autologin won't work since last upgrade

Hi,
Since last upgrade, lxdm won't autologin anymore.
I had a lxdm.conf.pacnew file wich added only a commented line that I added into the conf file, wich does look like this :

Since there were no uncommented lines added, I assumed it would make no difference.
Edit :
Now, the system goes to the login screen instead of autologin.
lxdm brings me to my session if I log in however.

Not sure why OlaffTheGreat uses LXDM, but I use it because you get it for free as part of the LXDE group, and I'm too lazy to change it. My security is the 30 to 40 character passphrase I need to unlock my encrypted drives. Then having to type in an 8 character easily guessed user password is beyond annoying.
I just checked my pacman cache files and it looks like the upgrade to 0.4-1-25 is when I first got the error (currently listed as 9 days ago which would be about right). I upgraded, booted and got the login screen that I was not supposed to. I had just merged the pacnew file so it was fresh in my head and made the changes I described. Booted again and got the autologin and I didn't think another thing about it until I saw this post earlier today. Upgraded again this weekend to 0.4-1-27 with no problems.

Solving Centro hotsync issues without a hard reset

I have a Centro (sprint). I am running Windows Vista. I cannot connect with hotsync. Whenever I try, I get the following message -- "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." I went through the article referenced at the beginning of this forum and performed all the suggestions (reloaded Palm desktop 6.2, the outlook 2007 update, soft restart, etc.). I took it to a repair center and they stated the ONLY way to fix it was to do a hard reset which would lose all info. Since I can't hotsync, I haven't been able to backup the phone which means I'll lose everything. I'm hoping there are some other suggestions I could try. It seems contrary that the only way to solve a hotsync issue and save your data is to do a hard reset and lose all your data. Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)

Is your Vista 64 bit or 32 bit?
Try performing a warm reset of your device... Take out the battery press and hold the UP button insert the battery while holding the UP navigator button wait until you see set date and time then release the button. Connect the phone back to the PC and try perform a hotsync.

Facetime is not in the App store. It is part of the iOS. You access Facetime on the phone via the contact section. Facetime needs to be activated in Settings. The only reason you may not have it is if you purchased the device in an area where Facetime is prohibited by law.

[SOLVED] LXDM Shutdown/Reboot Issues

Under "vanilla" conditions (unmodified /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf), I have no trouble logging in and out and powering off/rebooting using LXDM.
My problem seems to arise when I set my main user account to autologin. The autologin works as expected, and I log back out to LXDM just fine. After logging out, there is a "username" text field replacing the large user boxes, which is a little out-of-place but isn't my main concern.
If I try to shutdown or reboot, nothing will happen, and I give it a second just to make sure it isn't taking place in a tty or something odd like that (checked my running tty's just to be sure). Afterward, I log back in to my main account, and upon logging out once more, the system proceeds to power off.
The only time I've been able to reproduce it was with the autologin enabled. Possibly worth noting is my /etc/lxdm/PostLogout, which contains this snippet from the LXDM ArchWiki Page:
#!/bin/sh
# Kills all your processes when you log out.
killall --user $USER -TERM
May not be very much related, but it is the only other change I have made to LXDM. However, it had no adverse effects on the shutdown/reboot post-logout functionality with the autologin disabled.
I would be very grateful if someone could point me in the right direction for fixing this bizarre behavior.
Last edited by mellowmaroon (2012-06-11 15:18:34)

I ended up adding /sbin/reboot to /etc/lxdm/PreReboot, and /sbin/poweroff to /etc/lxdm/PreShutdown.
It's more of a workaround than a solution, but it seems like the easiest and most effective solution so far. No problems with it yet.

[SOLVED] Strange character issue...

I'm using Openbox, and sometimes (often) the text will mess up and start showing random characters in place of the characters that's supposed to be there. I kill X and start it up again, and it's fixed until it happens again. It usually happens after doing some package management and other system-related things, but a couple of times it's done it during a session where I didn't do any of those things. This only happens in X/Openbox.
I figured it was a locale problem, so I checked all of my locale settings multiple times and everything appears correct. Then I figured it was maybe a key mapping problem, so I checked that KEYMAP was set to us, and it is.
I have en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8 and ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8 enabled, and en_US.UTF-8 is my default...I use Terminus as my font for everything. Any help with this is appreciated since I've spent two days trying to figure it out already and I just want to move on.
Here's an example...Sometimes there'll be huge characters and Japanese kanji thrown in there.

No. Xorg 1.13.04 does not work well with nvidia drivers.

Alright...Thanks for the info. I guess I was completely wrong in how I was thinking of the problem. So, am I able to just downgrade the xorg-server package to solve the issue, or am I going to have to downgrade other related packages such as xorg-server-common?

Is there any way to solve this tooltip issue besides addFocusListener?

Following up with my last posted thread that now has the record of 23 responds and none relevant to my question, I'm posting another one right now.
I've managed to reproduce the issue I was talking about and have the code. Basically, my problem was that tooltip was causing popups to go behind the main frame. You can reproduce this by moving your mouse on the table and generate tooltips, after you comment out the focus listener, which is the solution. If table is in focus, tooltips are generated, otherwise, no tooltips.
What I'm wondering about if anyone knows any other way besides the focus listener to implement this fix and check to see if the table has focus? The reason I'm asking this, although it seems to work fine on this code, is because in my application at work, which has more than 10 panels in it, this table's tooltip problem affects all those other panels as well, not just this story popup on the table. When I open any of the other panels, the table doesn't necessarily lose focus, and when I close them, the table won't necessarily gain back focus, which is what I want to see happen.
I'd appreciate your relevant suggestions and ideas to my problem. Thanks!

Following up with my last posted thread that now has the record of 23 responds and none relevant to my questionAs we told you in your last posting, your question didn't have enough relevant information for us to help solve the problem which is why we asked for a SSCCE.
I've managed to reproduce the issueSee what happens when you put your mind to creating a SSCCE, instead of wasting time with unnecessary comments complaining about the lack of help?
Basically, my problem was that tooltip was causing popups to go behind the main frameSorry I still don't see a problem or understand your problem. I've tried the code with and without the FocusListener. In both cases the "popup frame" is always displayed on top of the main frame. This is what I did:
a) place mouse on the table
b) wait for popup to display
c) click on table to show popup
In both cases the popup was displayed on top of the main frame.
When the FocusListener code was commented out, I could still get the tooltip. However, when the FocusListener was active, I could not get the tootip to redisplay after the popup was made the active window.
I'm using JDK6 on XP.
By the way, normally applications are written with a single JFrame. Additional "popups" would be created by using a JDialog and you would specify the frame as the owner of the dialog. Note this should prevent the dialog from displaying behind the frame.

[SOLVED] ACPI power issues with Sony Vaio Pro 13

tl;dr backstory:
Sony VAIO Pro 13 (SVP13215CDB) laptop was working great (Win 8.1).
Installed Win10 Tech Preview. A week later, it started going to sleep randomly and on certain key-presses (perhaps after performing Sony Vaio Software updates. I'm not 100% sure). I wiped all partitions installing Win7 in legacy mode. It still went to sleep randomly.
I restored to factory default Win8.1 with Sony Vaio software up-to-date. It still went to sleep randomly.
Took it to an electronics repair shop, to see if they could fix it, and they said it can't be fixed in any way without replacing motherboard, but that's basically a new laptop.
So I turned to Arch Linux.
I have completed the basic install from the Wiki, and it no longer sleeps/shuts down randomly, but it will gracefully shutdown when certain events/keypresses occur.
I installed acpid and used "acpi_listen >> acpi.log" to determine what causes the system to perform a graceful shutdown. Here is the result of acpi.log (each line was a shutdown event):
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Unplugged power adapter.
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Running on battery and idle. Perhaps battery percent update caused this?
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Plugged in power adapter.
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F1 Touchpad Disable
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F5 Brightness Down
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F6 Brightness Up
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F7 LCD/External Display
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-1 (Weird. It has no extra function).
As you can see, they all seem to trigger the same shutdown event.
I have seen on other posts that these ACPI signals can be disabled or assigned to other commands, which would be an acceptable workaround if it stops my laptop from erroneously shutting down. Is this doable?
Also, I was not able to reflash the Sony VAIO firmware when using Windows, as Sony's package software is amazing wouldn't allow flashing an equal or lesser firmware version. Perhaps there is a way in Arch to force a reflash if I can get my hands on the firmware blob?
Thanks .

linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=<UUID here> rw quiet acpi=off
Like this?
I did that, and it disabled my laptop keyboard entirely. In doing so, it disables the key-presses that would normally shutdown the laptop, including the power button. So the only way to shut it down is a hard shutdown via long-press of the power button. Thanks, though.
Update: Issue Solved. I will update post tonight. Flashing the BIOS again resolved the ACPI issues.

How do I solve this error issue i get every time I open the program?

This happens every time I open muse. It just happens in muse and nothing else. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and i have wiped all of my adobe files off my computer and then re installed them and it still didnt solve the issue.
Adobe Muse CC has encountered an error and will now exit. Please report the last few actions you took leading up to this error to the Adobe Muse CC team.

Hello,
please do the following steps and you will be all set.
1. Sign out from Muse By going to Help > Sign out. (if you see the option to do that)
2. Sign out from Creative Cloud Application. (Steps are mentioned in the link Sign out, Sign in | Creative Cloud Desktop app), then Quit Creative Cloud Application.
3. Rename the "OOBE" folder to "OOBEold"
MAC : (This folder can be found at Finder > Go > Go to Folder> Type ~/library/application support/Adobe > Hit return)
Widows : ( This folder can be found at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Adobe )
4. Relaunch Muse, Sign in with your Adobe ID.
Please let me know if the steps above do not work or if you have any confusion.

IPhoto 9.4.1 does not solve all sync issues

The 9.4.1 update does not solve all the sync issues.
It may have fixed the duplicate Events that you can see in iTunes when syncing to an iDevice, but it has not resolved the duplicate Faces.
I still have many duplicate Faces showing, even though in iPhoto the Faces are only there once.......

Try the following:
1 - open the library package with the Finder as follows:
2 - Find the AlbumData.xml file and move it to the Desktop.
3 - close the package and launch iPhoto.
See if the above will get rid of the bogus events.

Solved IOS 6 issue with headphone remote

Upgraded my Iphone 4S to IOS 6 and my Klipsch headphone remot would not work. Volume buttons worked, and the center button would start playing music, but it would not stop or pause the songs. I tried my original Apple earbugs with the remote and did not have any problems. The I used the Klipsch again, and now they work great.
Sounds strange, but that is what happened.

Hi All,
I was facing all sorts of issues with my earphone controls.
This solved my problem.
Double click home button. (press twice).This will show you all the apps that you have currently open.
Long click on the 1st app in the list [about 3 seconds]. This will make the icons wiggle and show a red minus sign on the left hand top corner.
Scroll [right] to see your music app (if you can't see it already).
Press the red minus sign. This will completely close the music app.
Restart your music app and things should be back to normal. [I also would close all other app in the same fashion, just in case, cause things like youtube apps use the controls on your earphones as well. ]
In short: - kill, kill-em-all and restart your music app.
