[ SOLVED ] Session Manager Recommendation

I have just installed a clean Arch & Openbox setup on a clean HDD without any residual xfce/gnome etc, but i have just realised that there is no session manager ... What is the best way to get session management which complements openbox ?
Many thanks

XFDesktop not running, FAILED TO CONNECT TO SESSION MANAGER [SOLVED]

Hi all, new to the arch forums, I've recently installed arch with xfce4, and I've been having trouble changing the desktop background as the GUI for it will flash up then close instantly. I tried to reload xfdesktop with xfdesktop --reload, this returns "xfdesktop is not running". Running $ sudo xfdesktop returns:
(xfdesktop:5211): GLib-WARNING **: (gerror.c:381):g_error_new_valist: runtime check failed: (domain != 0)
Failed to connect to session manager: Failed to connect to the session manager: SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined
xfdesktop: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
Also, when I look in xfce4-session-settings, all xfce applications are running but xfdesktop isn't there.
Thanks in advance

Prepending sudo to random commands will eventually break your system. Don't do it.
In this case it simply prevents it from working as the session manager is running for your user not for the root user, so this command has nothing to connect to. Remove 'sudo'.
If I run just $ xfdesktop I then get the same error

What is the difference between Session timeout and Short Session timeout Under Excel Service Application -- session management?

Under Excel Service Application --> session management; what is the difference between Session timeout and Short Session timeout?

Any call made from the API will automatically be set to the “Session Timeout” period, no matter
what. Calls made from EWA (Excel Web Access) will get the “Short Session Timeout” period assigned to it initially.

Solaris 10 gnome session manager crashes on login

There are two Solaris 10 servers at work that I cannot log into. At the login screen I choose Options --> Session --> Java Desktop System, Release 3
and then try to log in. I get the following error message:
"The GNOME session manager (process XXXXX) has crashed due to a fatal error. (Segmentation Fault). When you close this dialog, all applications will close and your session will exit. Please save all your files before closing this dialog."
I was able to find one post on this error using google. It said that the user solved this problem by editing the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable by moving /usr/local/lib to the beginning of the line. This didn't fix my problem. I logged in via ssh and double checked that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH change had saved.
Other people can log into the server just fine. Just not me. I even completely wiped my home directory. Anybody know where I can find a fix for this?

Just discovered that if one of the working users logs completely out, they cannot log back in. So this error affects everybody.

Session management thru SOAP services

          Hi I am trying to deploy our application in a clsutered environment. Previsouly
          I had some problems with http session replication. That problems were solved but
          now I have another problem.
          Our application has multiple clients, some are browser based and some are swing
          based that use our SOAP services.
          all browser based clients use httpsession for session management, since weblogic
          replicates the httpsession, we have no problem clustering http webapps. But SOAP
          services has no access to httpsession.
          We have implemented our own session management (we cache the app specific session
          objects) so that SOAP services works fine (SOAP services doesn't have access to
          httpsession, so we could not use httpsession for session management). Each method
          in our soap services takes a sessionid and we get the session objects (not http
          session objects but our app specific session objects) based on the sessionid.
          But now that our application is clustered, the session cache mechanism doesn't
          work since its not replicated thru out the clusters.
          I thought I could use stateful session beans to cache the sessions, but how do
          I cache the SFSB thru out the session w/o sending any references to the SFSB to
          the client. I know I can send the Handle reference to the client but We cannot
          change the SOAP API now. The only information client has is the session id.
          My question is: How do I use SFSB w/o changing my soap services method paramaters.
          My SOAP method looks like methodName(String sessionid, ..............)
          I could use a clustered cache but we can't buy anything in the current situation.
          Any help would be appreciated.

Well, does the DSM log have any details? (see [Note 529924|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/529924] on how to view the logs)
My guess is that you are using different protocols between the dispatcher and a backend system: they both have to use HTTP or both use HTTPS (as described in the same note). That would also explain why the URL for the direct connection to the portal doesn't present the error, if that URL has the same protocol as the backend.

Setting secure on session management cookie only in production

I am faced with the following:
In our developmentcycle we deliver full application exports to an acceptation environment and after testing to a production environment.
However, only our production site does HTTPS. Development and acceptation only do HTTP.
In production we have to set the "secure"flag on the session management cookie.
We would like to set this flag in our deployment scripts.
So,
Is there an API we could use to set the "Secure" flag in the APEX metadata using SQL*Plus?

Session Manager with i3/Awesome/Xmonad?

Hello, First post here so let me know if I am doing anything wrong,
I recently started using i3 and I could not recommend it more, I have given xmonad a shot and was a big fan and I know a lot of people seem to like Awesome, my only question is...
Are there any session managers that would work for any of them?
I love them but I spend a lot of time getting things just right so I have a nice flow at work (I loooooove i3 once I have everything where I want it). Before switching to xmonad from xfce4 I always had my work from office session, my work from home session, and one or two others. Anyone know of any way to save sessions in one of the mentioned window managers? Or are there any other window managers I should look into for this feature?
Thanks!!

I think this session thing is about stopping the applications in a way that you can start them again.
1. Different users/computers - It's very static and doesn't really scale.
2. Any X11 Session Manager - You have to log out of X11 and you can only have one session open.
3. My super script - For sessions on a tag/workspace level. Sorry for the bad english and bash. I'm about to rewrite it, it will support i3 and openbox. But maybe I should wait for wayland.
I have read that systemd article more than once, but I didn't understand if it's limited to 2 or not?

Session manager loads windows in wrong sequence

'''when I use the session manager to reload a previous session which has several windows, the windows will not always come up in their original sequence (as far as their position on the task bar), e.g. I have windows 1,2,3 and reload the session and I will get them as 2,1,3 etc. This is annoying since I have s system where I group sites into individual windows and I am used to having them in a certain sequence. The only solution I have is to load and append them one window at a time from the same session but this is not a satisfactory situation.'''

Hi Barzilay,
Use transaction SMEN instead of SESSION_MANAGER.
Thats will solve your problem.

NI Session Manager gets slower and slower from call to call!

I have the following problem with NI-Session-Manager:
I use Session Manager a lot on my test systems. Now that I have a test system running that makes many Session Manager Calls I noticed that after a while the system gets slower and slower. I�ve attached a Sequence File, which demonstrates this problem.
This sequence file is based on the LV Session Manager Example, which ships with TestStand.
Instructions: In the UI-Msg Field of the Sequence Editor you will see how long the actual run took to execute. Every run makes 500 calls to Session Manager. You will notice that every run takes a little bit longer than the previous. After 100 runs the difference is significant.
Although my example uses a COM
port to demonstrate the problem this problem is really related to Session Manager because the same happens if I use an IVI-Instrument (i.e. NI-DMM, NI-Switch, �)
Any help appreciated!

Herbert -
Thanks for the feedback. I will look into item (1).
The design of the session manager was to solve the problem of only having to share an instrument within a multithread application. If the session already exists, than you get the same session and thus the same handle, and the instrument is only initialize once and closed after the session no longer exists.
In the case of a C++ based program you would have to add the session as a member variable that has a specific lifetime. When the object is release, so will the session.
In the case of an application like TestStand, you just attach the session to the execution. Once the execution goes away, the session may go away if no other execution is using it.
In the case of L
abVIEW being called from TestStand, you are using VIs as subroutines, so either the application (TestStand) must manage the lifetime of the session, or the VI subroutine must deligate the lifetime control to a "global" VI. The item you attach to the global could be the refnum itself or the SMgr session. One way of doing this would be to create a VI that serves the refnum to you but internally manages the lifetime of the ActiveX references to the Session Manager sessions. This would be a simple vector of names and their sessions. When called the VI would lookup and return a refnum from an existing session or create a new session and return a refnum for it.

JMStudio Error "Can not create session manager"

Hi,
I'm trying to transmit an mpg file through a simple pc to pc network, using the transmission wizard in the JMStudio, and everytime it causes a "can not create session manager" error, even when I try to transmit .mp3 file
I'm using an ip like 100.100.0.1 for the sender machine, and 100.100.0.2 for the receiver machine, and I don't know where is the problem
thanks in advance

Um,maybe the port that you use for transmission is already occupied.
Make sure that you are not using JMStudio to transmit streams while trying to receive streams from the same port.

What is new with MAX 2.0 and is it compatible with Session Manager?

We added non-IVI instrument information in, basically the same structure as for IVI instruments,
into the ivi.ini file to keep all instrument information in the same place. Using MAX Version 1.1 caused no problems whatsoever and the system worked fine. With the advent of MAX 2.0 you seem to use ivi.ini as well as config.mxs to store instrument information. What we have found now is that given a working ivi.ini file from MAX 1.1, we end up with 2 or 3 copies of all the devices in the IVI Instruments->Devices section! When the duplicate entries are deleted and the application exited, the
ivi.ini file is updated minus the [Hardware->] sections which contain the resource descriptors that our appl
ications look for. As an added complication, under MAX 2.1 (From an evaluation of the Switch Executive) It behaves the same, except that it almost always crashes with one of the following errors. 'OLEChannelWnd Fatal Error', or 'Error#26 window.cpp line 10028 Labview Version 6.0.2' Once opened and closed MAX 2.1 will not open again! (Note we do not have LabVIEW on the system.) What is the relationship between the config.mxs and ivi.ini now? Also, your Session Manager application (for use with TestStand) extracts information from ivi.ini and may expect entries to be manually entered into ivi.ini (e.g. NISessionManager_Reset = True) i.e. Is the TestStand Session Manager compatible with MAX 2.0?

Brian,
The primary difference between MAX 1.1 and 2.x is that there is a new internal architecture. MAX 2.x synchronizes data between the config.mxs and the ivi.ini. The reason you're having trouble is that user-editing of the ivi.ini file is not supported with MAX 2.x.
Some better solutions to accomplish what you want:
1. Do as Mark Ireton suggested in his answer
2. Use the IVI Run-Time Configuration functions. They will allow you to dynamically configure your Logical Names, Virtual Instruments, Instrument Drivers, and Devices. You can then use your own format for storing and retrieving that information, and use the relevant pieces for each execution. You can find information on these functions in the IVI CVI Help file located in Start >> National I
nstruments >> IVI Driver Toolset folder. Go to the chapter on Run-time Initialization Configuration.
I strongly suggest #2, because those functions will continue to be supported in the future, while other mechanisms may not be.

Session management problems with SSO

Hi all-
I've been getting an Apex app tied to SSO as a partner app (per http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/sso_partner_app.html). So far, it sort of works. If I go to my apex app, it redirects me to SSO, where I authenticate and end up back in the apex app. Great. Here are two problems I've run into:
1. If I am already authenticated to SSO, and I go to my apex app (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1), my browser goes into an infinite redirect (url like: http://host/pls/apex/f?p=101:1:::::FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL:\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f?p=101|1|||||FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL|\f? p=101|1|\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\). To resolve, I have to clear cookies.
2. If I am using my apex app, then log out of SSO (in another browser window), I can still click around in my apex app (i.e., apex thinks I'm still authenticated).
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm wondering if I need to do something in page session management (under authentication schemes) to fix #2, but I have no clue about #1.
Thanks
Rob

Hi Scott-
Thanks for the info on #2 - I'll work on that after I get #1 sorted out, since it's the more dire problem. Here's some more info:
Apex version = 3.0.1.00.08
SSO SDK = ssosdk902.zip
I set it up as "My Application as Partner App." I used "MY_PARTNER_NAME" as SSO Partner Application Name. In the list of SSO Partner Apps on the SSO Admin page, my partner app name is also MY_PARTNER_NAME. It gives the following info:
Login URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_login
Single Sign-Off URL: https://sso_host/pls/orasso/orasso.wwsso_app_admin.ls_logout
Home URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
Success URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex/RBLICK.YOUR_PACKAGE.PROCESS_SUCCESS
Logout URL: http://apex_host/pls/apex
RBLICK is the schema owning the apex app. In there, I created a package called YOUR_PACKAGE:
create package YOUR_PACKAGE as
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2);
end YOUR_PACKAGE;
CREATE PACKAGE BODY YOUR_PACKAGE AS
procedure process_success(urlc in varchar2) as
begin
wwv_flow_custom_auth_sso.process_success(
urlc=>urlc,
p_partner_app_name=>'MY_PARTNER_NAME');
end process_success;
END YOUR_PACKAGE;
Anything look obviously wrong to you?
Thanks!

Hello, I have a big problem with Firefox: Session Manager & Undo Closed Tab addons are not working, Sync Is not working. History is working. How to fix this?

Firefox remembers history but doesn't remember closed tabs, sessions.
It happened after updating Fox to v. 19.0.2 on one computer.
In Firefox Options is set Use Custom Settings For History, everything is checked except Always Use Private Browsing Mode. So I am not in private browsing.
When I press on Undo Closed Button nothing happens & in session manager Save Session Button is greyed out. I've tried installing other add-ons that can remember tabs. tried to disable/reinstall these 2 add-ons. Did't help. On my 2nd computer I have same add-ons, same settings and they are working normally. on 3rd computer undo closed tabs works also. How to fix this? I decided to ask before doing Firefox Reset...
Sync is a separate problem. It works, but quite often it logs me out of Sync account. Then I can log in only using long recovery key and password (choosing option I don't have device with me because it does not accept keys for pairing device.)
Thanks for reading.

I have exactly the same settings in Options (in both computers)
for history, these 2 add-ons and all other stuff in Options. The only difference is that on 1 pc sessions can be saved and closed tabs can be reopened, on other main pc they stopped to work. + no any other add-on that does similar things works on this pc.
It is also interesting that I can reopen closed visited sites from History Panel, but not by pressing the Button. For now I only manually bookmark links to a temporary folder.
Recently (some 2 month ago) I pressed x and Firefox closed all tabs without saving them without displaying save & quit pop up.
so I changed 4 settings in about.config
browser.tabs.warn on close true
browser.warn on quit true
browser.warn on restart true
browser.show.quit warning true
but the problem with sessions appeared only 1 week ago.
So I guess the problem is not with the History settings or other settings. Seems that something responsible for button or for storing info about tabs/sessions got corrupted. :(
