[SOLVED]Plasma setup lost after logout then in

Every time I log out of my KDE session I partially lose my plasmoid setup. When I login, what I get instead is a set of plasmoids I used previously but changed out. Also, the plasmoids that I do use is squished down to about 1/4 inch. I remove the ones I don't want and setup the ones I need, but the result is identical every time.
I'm using kdemod 4.2.

After trying out your suggestions I checked out the link provided by aglarond and attempted deleting my plasma* files. When I logged back in the widgets I wanted were in place and the ones I didn't were gone. The only problem that remains is that a pager applet I have on the desktop still shows up squished. I suspect that that is an issue with the applet itself.

[SOLVED] Plasma Desktop segfaults after recent KDE update to ver. 4.6

Today after upgrading some amount of packages, including the new KDE 4.6, my Plasma Desktop "segfaults" every single time I login into my account. I tried to send some information regarding this issue using KDE's internal reporting system, but unfortunately it tells me, that those information are irrelevant. Does anyone experience "segfaulting" of the Plasma Desktop after recent KDE upgrade? I'm looking for some help on how to solve this issue, as for the moment my Arch is dead...

Actually, it is KDE that is giving you trouble, not the OS . When you reach the kdm login screen, don't login. Instead, switch to a tty (Ctrl+Alt+F1, for example) and login from there. Then, you can see a list with all your plasmoids with
plasmapkg -l
If you find the culprit plasmoid, and it is a plasmoid downloaded outside Arch's repos (from kde-look.org, for example), remove it with
plasmapkg -r plasmoid_name
If the plasmoid is installed as a package, it is probably better to uninstall/upgrade it using pacman.

Hi all,
I have the same problem. I tried using tty, but I got "cannot access to X server". Than I tried
Alt+F2 to run Terminal, I used
plasmapkg -l
in order to see the list of all the plasmoids, but I couldn't find the "culprit" plasmoid. I don't know if I am doing it right. Here the list of my plasmapkg:
[encho@x~]$ plasmapkg -l

Owa_cookie login username cookie lost after logout

I have a problem with owa_cookie. It seems very simple. When I am logged in, username appears automatically in screen, but after I have logged out, username is not retrieved.
It seems that the cookie is not saved, as I do not find a trace of it in the cookie directory. Any suggestions?
Code listed below:
On load / before header:
declare
c owa_cookie.cookie;
v varchar2(255) := null;
begin
c := owa_cookie.get( 'LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE' );
:P4_USERNAME := lower( c.vals(1) );
exception
when others then null;
end;
On submit / after computations and validations:
begin
if :P4_USERNAME is not null
then
owa_util.mime_header( 'text/html', FALSE );
owa_cookie.send( name => 'LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE'
, value => lower( :P4_USERNAME )
, domain => 'dev.naturalmoney.org'
end if;
end;

Hi,
Try
begin
owa_util.mime_header('text/html', FALSE);
owa_cookie.send(
    name    => 'LOGIN_USERNAME_COOKIE'
    ,value   => lower(:P101_USERNAME)
    ,expires => sysdate + 356
exception when others then null;
end;Regards,
Jari

Work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying over to photoshop

work is lost after illustrator freezes and then crashes when copying items over to photoshop, then when re-opening the illustrator file it gets to the end of reading the file to open then quits again? this keeps happening!

afrill,
It seems that you file has become corrupted.
One thing often tried first is to create a new document and File>Place the corrupted one to see how much may be rescued that way.
Here is a website where you can see whether it can rescue the file, and if it can, you may pay for a subscription to have it done,
http://www.recoverytoolbox.com/buy_illustrator.html
and another similar website,
http://markzware.com/adobe-software/fix-illustrator-file-unknown-error -occurred-pdf2dtp-file-recovery/
As far as I remember, the former is for Win and the latter for Mac.
Here are a few pages about struggling with it yourself:

Logged Out session can be accessed again After logout (DAD authentication)

Hello,
Please find the details of my problem below:
SCENERIO:
Current Authentication: No Authentication (USING DAD)
Authorization: MYAUTH
Frequency: Once Per Session
declare
lv_retval boolean;
lv_srec pkg_myutil.r_sessionrectype;
begin
begin
-- This is NOT Apex Session. I am checking the entry in a table to make sure user is logged in
-- and the link is not opened directly. In short making sure user opened the Apex link from the
-- Oracle Forms application.
lv_srec :=pkg_myutil.get_session_info(:P1_SID);
if lv_srec.valid_session then
lv_retval := TRUE;
else
lv_retval := FALSE;
end if;
exception
when others then
lv_retval := FALSE;
end;
return lv_retval;
end;
The Application Security property Authorization is set to : MYAUTH
Logout Navigation Bar Entries-URL TARGET: http://myapp.mycompany.com/pls/apex/apex_custom_auth.logout?p_this_app=105&p_next_url=http://mycompany.com
( I cannot put this in the Authentication Logout URL as using -DATABASE- as sentry function (DAD authentication) gives me error: No functional attributes may be set when page sentry function is '-DATABASE-'.))
so i directly modified the navigation bar entry
Now I open the apex link from my forms application, and it Works fine. For example
http://myapp.mycompany.com/pls/QRYONLYDAD/f?p=105:1:2524984933940261::NO::P1_SID:0137099300:
The authorization function takes the P1_SID value and checks in database,finds the entry so returns TRUE to display the page 1 which i call Menu page.
If I click logout, it works and takes me to the Mycompany home page.
My question:
If save that link and try to access it again AFTER LOGOUT, it still displays the page. Although the session is logged out, how come it still allows to access the page? The authorization function also doesn't fire which would have prevented it atleast. How APEX knows it still a valid session even after logout happens?
I can see that Since there is DAD authentication, the login happens automatically........ but I cannot change that method. What other option do i have?
Please help.
Jay

1.) Code for the function:
Basically we are using a private DBMS_PIPE to pass a randomly generated string and read that pipe from Apex using get_session_info. Nothing to do with Apex Session. We just want to make sure the user opened the Apex link from the application.
function get_session_info (p_session_id varchar2) return pkg_myutil.r_sessionrectype is
rv_sessionrec eft.pkg_myutil.r_sessionrectype;
lv_status NUMBER;
lv_app_id varchar2(20);
lv_EMPID VARCHAR2(20);
lv_timeout BINARY_INTEGER := 0; --A timeout of 0 allows you to read without blocking. otherwise the pipe will keep waiting and our purpose won't be solved
lv_rmstatus number;
begin
begin
-- Valid Session theme: If the pipe doesnot exist means the url is not requested from inside the Forms application.
lv_status := DBMS_PIPE.RECEIVE_MESSAGE(p_session_id,lv_timeout);
IF lv_status <> 0 THEN
raise_application_error(-20003,'Error while receiving.Status = ' || lv_status);
END IF;
DBMS_PIPE.UNPACK_MESSAGE(lv_app_id);
DBMS_PIPE.UNPACK_MESSAGE(lv_EMPID);
if lv_EMPID is null then
raise_application_error(-20004,'User EMPID is null in the session info.');
end if;
-- construct return record
rv_sessionrec.session_id:=p_session_id;
rv_sessionrec.valid_session :=TRUE;
-- remove pipe
lv_rmstatus:=DBMS_PIPE.REMOVE_PIPE(p_session_id);
if lv_rmstatus <> 0 then
null; -- think what to do
end if;
exception
when others then
rv_sessionrec.session_id:=p_session_id;
rv_sessionrec.valid_session :=FALSE;
end;
return rv_sessionrec;
end get_session_info;
2.) I guess you are right. But doesn't Apex use the Userid and password hardcoded in the DAD? because it displays the username in DAD on the page footer. But It will authenticate everytime. So I want to put another layer so that my pipe verification code executes everytime which can decide whether to show the page or redirect to a error page.
If i put in a On-Load Before Header Process on Page 1 with the pl/sql code, is there a way there to redirect to different page? I couldn't think of a way to do it. Then i can remove the code from authorization scheme and add to the On-Load process?
Does this help any?
Thanks for your prompt response.
Thanks,
Jay

Aperture 3: GPS data gets lost after 'Update from Master'

My library contains photos in JPEG format that I geotag in Places, then I save the metadata with 'Write IPTC Metadata to Master'. The problem I have is, that the GPS data gets lost after I do an 'Update from Master', even if I saved the metadata before. I'm having this problem with referenced and managed photos and all my JPEGs from several different cameras. The only way to permanently store the GPS info into my photos seems to be to export the geotagged photos as versions.
Does anybody has the same problem or knows how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Michael

Use Houdah geo (http://www.houdah.com) to write location data back to the EXIF. It's interface is very similar to Places (Google maps and pins) and you can interface with the Aperture library. It's a bit of a pain, but if you need it done now rather than wait for an Aperture 3 fix, then...

Bluetooth connection lost after wakeup ( CSR - bc4 )

hi
after wakeup, my aluminium keyboard cannot connect anymore to my macbook pro. when i go to systempreferences/bluetooth i can see the bluetooth's host name is CSR - bc4 (???). when i turn bluetooth off and on again the hostname does set correctly to the name of my macbook-pro. after the restart of the bluetooth-service my keyboard works like a charm.
any suggestions?
greetings from switzerland

I am having the same problem.
If I use the new aluminium wireless keyboard (with my existing wireless mighty mouse) neither the mouse nor the keyboard reconnect to the computer on waking from sleep - it does announce that I have lost the bluetooth connection but tapping/clicking/waiting doesn't facilitate reconnection.
If I send the iMac to sleep again (using the power button - the only way I have to get any signal to my machine at this point - I haven't tried Morse Code yet) it does then recognise the peripherals on waking the second time.
I have also noticed that if I turn the mouse and keyboard off causing the "connection lost" warning and then put the machine to sleep, everything does reconnect on waking (switching them back on of course).
I have it set not to wake from sleep using bluetooth devices, so that I can tidy my mouse/keyboard away without disturbing the mac. Using my old white wireless keyboard (but the same Mighty Mouse) it works beautifully again as it always did in Tiger with only a minimal delay on waking from sleep before reconnecting automatically.
The aluminium keyboard is beautiful. But we need a fix - anyone? Is it a hardware problem? A set of dud keyboards? Has anyone found that a different aluminium wireless keyboard does work with the same setup? Or that their troublemaking keyboard does work on other machines?

No keyboard at login window after logout

Hello all,
I'm just starting state testing and have been presented with a problem. When a student logs out of a machine in order to log into the testing account the login window won't accept input from the keyboard.
Bacground and details:
We have labs of computers using workgroup manager and open directory for management. In a normal lab the machine will boot to a login window. This is so that the preferences will be refreshed before a student logs in. The student will login as a local user (student) and procede to do whatever for the day.
We have recently started state mandated testing. I have set up an OD account which is very locked down and keeps the student on track while testing. This requires someone to log the normal user out and login as the OD user. This is where the problem arises.
About 50% of the time the keyboard will no longer funtion after logout. No keys of any sort work. The mouse still works. Even keystrokes through ARD do nothing. A end user is then required to reboot the system in order to do ANYTHING. This is not ideal for elementary kids.
From my digging in log files and poking around i noticed that the loginwindow process was hanging or crashing. If i kill the process the login window blinks and then works just fine. I'm sure i could write a logout script that drops a process into the background to kill the loginwindow process after so many seconds, but thats messy. Has anyone seen this? Any thoughts or solution? Only happens on a logout, never on an initial bootup.
I have found that 95% of these issues occur on Mac Mini's. I can consistantly replicate the issue on a mini. If i clone the mini to a macbook, i no longer have the problem (using carbon copy cloner). So either the hardware is part of the issue or the clone fixed something in the process.

Can't get past setup assistant after installing leopard...

i am having trouble getting past the setup assistant after installing leopard on my other computer which is a 1.25 ghz G4 desktop. Everything seems to be going fine then the setup assistant comes up and i go through the exercise of filling it out and at the end it says click on done and then you can use the computer. unfortunately it goes right back into the setup assistant like i had never gone there before. it is in some kind of loop. would it be wise to reinstall leopard? if so, does it know that it was installed already and rewrite over the first install? or is there something else i may try. i tried resetting the PRAM and some other things recommended but nothing seems to work. any help will be appreciated.
thanks in advance...

mr_magicman,
I can imagine how frustrating this must be for you. It sounds like you went for the (default) Upgrade option.
Okay, how about trying this:
1. With the *OS X 10.5 Install Disk 1* still in the bay, Restart your computer. Without access to menus, you'll have to use the power switch to turn it off. +[Alternatively, if you do have access to menus, select the Restart command (in the Apple menu) — always the preferred method.]+
2. If you're using the power switch method, here, wait about 10 - 15 seconds then depress the power switch again for about 5 full seconds (or until you hear the computer come back to life). +[Alternatively, if you had selected the Restart command in Step 1, the computer will start up again on its own.]+ *Either way, as the computer starts up, press and keep pressing, the Mouse until the disk ejects.* By the way, if you're using a Mighty Mouse with a left and right option, press down on the left side only. Hopefully this will get you out of the loop caused by your Install DVD remaining in the drive.
Finally, to be fair to you, I must tell you that there's a more suitable Forum for your particular kind of problem, viz., *Installation and Setup* (http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1219) I recommend you check out the questions/answers in that Forum in case your question has already been asked and answered.
PS. If you do re-post your question in that Forum, don't forget to mention whether or not you internal hard disk has been backed up.
GOOD LUCK!

Problem accessing sessionScope after logout

Hello,
after logout (session.invalidate) I cannot use
ADFContext.getCurrent().getSessionScope().put(...) (java.lang.NullPointerException)
How to recreate sessionScope?
After logout not secured part of our application must be still functioning.
Rado

Hi,
This is my logout code:
        ExternalContext ectx =
            FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse)ectx.getResponse();
        HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest)ectx.getRequest();
        HttpSession session = (HttpSession)ectx.getSession(false);
        session.invalidate();
        pageUri = Params.getStartUri();
        try {
            response.sendRedirect(request.getContextPath() + pageUri);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            JSFUtils.addFacesErrorMessage(MsgBundle.INTERNAL_ERROR,
                                          new Object[] { "Logout" });
        }The problematic code accessing the sessionScope is in constructor of session scope managed bean.
When are instances of session scope managed beans created? I guess after a new session was created. Why then the sessionScope doesn't exists? Have my session managed bean higher priority and is created prior to sessionScope?
I can postpone accessing sessionScope in the constructor but don't know have can I check sessionScope has not been prepared yet? In debugger it seems to be ok.

Redirect After Logout

Hi,
I have created several example public pages each containing the Portal 9.0.2 out-of-the-box Login portlet.
Depending on which page I use to login from, when I logout, I would like to automatically return to the same login page.
In Portal Rel 1, this was simply a case of setting the p_done_url value to that of the required login page.
However, in Rel 2, logout first takes you to the default logout page (the one confirming logout from various partner applications), where you are then required to manually click RETURN, at which point, the correct login page is displayed.
I have read various threads both from this forum and metalink, and each suggests looking in the SSO Admin Guide. However, this explains how to replace the Logout page, not how to redirect after logout. If I use the method described in the SSO Admin Guide, I can only have one logout page. This would mean that I would not be able to replicate the Rel 1 functionality, where I could go to a different login page each time after logout.
Does anyone out there know how to replicate this Rel 1 functionality?
Thanks in advance for all help received.
Regards,
Gillian

When I now logout from the portal, this page is called as expected, but the logout process is not executed nor does the redirection take place. Any pointers??

All music links are lost after installing windows 7!!! HELP!!!

All music links are lost after installing windows 7!!! HELP!!!
I upgraded my system to windows 7 ultimate from Vista and installed itunes 64px. but when I copy the old itunes folder into D://music and opened itunes, all my music cannot be played. each link shows the mp3 location as: file://localhost/D://music/itunes... ... I ve tried deleting library file and copy/past the original one again. doesn't work. what should I do now. It's 106 GB songs. I cannot locate them one by one nor lose all my ratings and play counts.
please help me!!!!!!!! >_<

Was that Win 7 update from Lenovo, or Microsoft? If Lenovo, it should have installed those missing features. If it was from Microsoft, you have to manually install the Lenovo drivers and software.
The easiest way to do that is to first install ThinkVantage System Update and run it. It should download and install the other drivers and apps. I'm running Win 7 pro 64 on my T400 - a MS upgrade clean install, then TVSU installed the Lenovo stuff. Everything works.
Use the "SUPPORT" button at the top of this page, then "Download drivers and software" enter T400, install TVSU and you should be off to the races.

Many logins & passwords were lost after last update

Automatic login and passwords were lost after the last firefox update. Or should I say would not work until I re-entered them.
A search found they were still there, plus the new entries I saved.
Other logins were lost totally, no passwords were lost.
I did send an immediate report to tech support but heard nothing.
Is it safe to update the new version or am I having to re-enter my logins and passwords again.
I have used firefox for many years as my main browser, I mostly only want to use a different browser when I want to open two different email accounts.

Websites remembering you and automatically log you in is stored in a cookie.
If a website decides to invalidate such a remember-me cookie after noticing an update (e.g. 6.0.1 to 7.0.1) then you will have to re-enter your credentials to create a new cookie.

IPhoto faces and places lost after format?

Hi all,
I am about to format my HD to have a clean reinstall of Snow Leopard. Meanwhile I have to say that I have a full backup using TimeMachine. Will the details on my photos (places,faces,rating etc.) be lost after the format?
Also do I need to pay attention to something specific? Does anyone have anything to advice me to avoid or to do,cause it will be the first time I'm doing it.
Thank you in advance,
Nick

I tried again with iPhoto updater and this time it worked on 2 of my 3 libraries so the albums and folders were preserved. I also had not realised that iPhoto updater needed to be opened from Utilities folder nad had thought it would work automatically once downloaded (one -to -one in store trainer had not realised this either).
I then remembered that there was one .mov file shot on my " still "digital camera in an iPhoto album. Once I removed this iPhoto updater worked on the 3rd library so old folders and albums preserved.
Even then there was one small folder of images which has not transfered via Target mode. For unknown reasons when I transferred these images from camera to old MCP they were jumbled and not in normal date order. I will try transferring these images to new MBP on a memory stick.
Thanks for persuading me to persist

[SOLVED]: Grub setup issue

Hi Arch community !
First, please excuse my (very) (bad) english...
I'm installing the Arch on a new machine, but in the grub installation step, something is blocking me.
The output says
grub> root (hd0,2)
Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x82
grub> setup (hd0,3)
Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
Huh... is really 0x82 an unknown type ? There might be a problem somewhere...
So i look my fdisk :
# fdisk -l
/dev/sda1 * 946 25261 195318270 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 1 945 7590681 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda3 25262 25784 4200997+ 82 Linux swap / Solaris
/dev/sda4 25785 48641 183598852+ 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
I agree with this... one redmond, one redmond/backup, one swap and my /.
And they are not in disk order, ok.
I check my menu.lst with thoses informations :
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro
initrd /boot/kernel26.img
It seems to me to be all right ! Where is the problem ?
Do you maybe have an idea ?

You are right, (hd0,2) seems to be my swap partition, and (hd0,3) my ext2 one.
I did the change, bu grub is always trying
root (hd0,2)
setup (hd0,3)
with the same errors... strange
SOLVED : That is allright after re-install...
thank you quand même !
