(SOLVED) SLiM won't show xfce4 in the boot options.

Currently I have this .xinitrc(took it from the wiki):
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
DEFAULT_SESSION=gnome-session
case $1 in
awesome)
exec awesome
xmonad)
exec xmonad
xfce)
exec startxfce4
exec $DEFAULT_SESSION
esac
Why I go through the sessions with F1, awesome shows up, xmonad shows up, gnome shows up and I never get to see xfce. I searched the logs but I couldn't find any evidence to point to the error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Crap I wanna hit myself in the head, I forgot to add the session to slim.conf
# Available sessions (first one is the default).
# The current chosen session name is replaced in the login_cmd
# above, so your login command can handle different sessions.
# see the xinitrc.sample file shipped with slim sources
sessions gnome,awesome,xmonad

  • My external hard drive won't show up on the desktop!!

    Alright!
    I bought a 250Go external hard disk at the same time as my alumnium iMac around september 2007. Since then I had no problems.
    I also created partitions on my hard disk:
    1 - Mac = Mac OS extended (Journaled) 202 Go
    2 - PC = MS-DOS (Fat) 30 Go
    When I turn on on my hard disk, both icons usually appear on my desktop but since yesterday, ONLY my PC icon appear.
    I went in the Disk Utility and it seems that the MAC partition is always here but won't show up on the desktop. It's like it's become invisible or something.
    Should I be worried? Because I use the MAC partition to back up all my files with Time Machine.
    I find it annoying so anybody can help me out? Thanks!!

    Patrick, I have same issue with my (Intel) MacBook's internal HD. Tried your Script solution but recv'd Systems Events ERROR "Can't set disk "MacBook HD" to true".
    The (missing) HD is Boot Camp Partitioned and running Fusion. BTW, Fusion/WinXP will no longer open - "File not Found" error. Also, I didn't immediately notice the disappearance because my MacBook started booting from one of ext HD's (w/o me changing the startup drive).
    Any ideas greatly appreciated. I haven't tried the Terminal solutions posted since I'm not Terminal savey.

    The iPhone icon appears in the import window, but the images won't show up in the loading window
    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

  • RESET THE NO. OF PROCESSORS IN THE BOOT OPTION TO NORMAL

    I accidently switched the number of prcessors to '1' in the boot option in my laptop and clicked on apply & my pc is working very slow than before and it suddenly shut down's automatically can anyone please help me with this

    HI @orianpax360 
    I see that you accidentally switched the processor to 1 in the bios and saved the changes.  Now your notebook is very sluggish and will do an auto shutdown.
    Would you please try this.
    Go back to the bios.
    Along the bottom you will see an option to restore defaults.  Please select that and save your changes.
    If that did not resolve the issue  here is a link to Restoring the BIOS that may also help.

  • How to rename the "Windows" hard disk icon in the boot options screen

    I have been able to rename the "Recovery HD" hard disk icon in the boot options screen by finding its mount mount and running
    sudo bless --folder "/Volumes/Recovery HD" -label "Mac Recovery".  When I do this for the Windows object, it is not renamed, even when the Windows partition that it represents is formatted FAT32.

    Update 2013-05-08  sudo bless --folder "/Volumes/Win OS"  -label "Win OS" fails with "Could not write scale 1 bitmap label file".  "Win OS" is the name of the Windows folder in Finder.

  • Obm-xdg won't show anything in the Openbox menu [SOLVED]

    I put the code:
    <menu execute="obm-xdg" id="obm-xdg" label="xdg"/>
    in ~/.config/openbox/menu.xml just like it says to do universally. It does not show any menu. Every other menu item in the file works. I can edit them and they change. obmenu can see the entry. gnome-menus is installed. obm-xdg works from the command line. Why does this not show anything in the menu?
    Last edited by skottish (2008-11-06 05:27:03)

    Make sure you add the menu id to the root-menu list at the bottom of menu.xml:
    <menu id="root-menu" label="Openbox 3">
    <separator label="Applications" />
    <menu id="obm-xdg" />
    <menu id="apps-accessories-menu"/>
    <menu id="apps-editors-menu"/>

  • [Solved] Apache Won't Show Files

    I have Apache running on my box and whenever I try to host something other than HTML/JS/PHP documents it either takes forever to show up or just never does. I was trying to host a picture of a pitbull before so I could link it to something and I had to mess around with stuff for about an hour before I could get the picture to show up with a direct link. Now I'm trying to host two other files and Apache just won't show them even though they're in my serving directory.  I've restarted the Apache daemon multiple times and that doesn't fix anything. What's going on here?
    This is my serving directory,  the xbox and pitbull pictures are visible, but the two files I just added (CWM_BLOB_V5 and Stock3.2.rar) don't show up at all. I had symlinks to other directories that worked but I just removed them.

    I'm dumb, I still had reminants of my lampp install and I was placing the files in that directory instead of the one I currently use.

  • [SOLVED] akregator doesn't show images in the preview pane

    I have three different PCs with Arch and kdemod-legacy (that is, kde 3.5.9) and on all of them I use akregator (a RSS/Atom feed reader).
    One of the feed I subscribed is from an image board: when new images are uploaded to the site, I'm notified and clicking on the link in the articles section of akregator I can see in the lower pane a thumbnail of the image.
    However this doesn't happen on my third pc: I *suppose* the installed applications and libraries are the same between all the machines, and the akregator options seems to be same as well.
    Does anybody have an idea about this?
    Thanks in advance for your time.

    Thanks for your reply.
    Daren wrote:do you have the option set to load the full article in the pane?
    Without this, it just displays an overview.
    That's right - I don't use that option because it's usually unnecessary: the overview usually does show a thumbnail of the image, and I can avoid loading the entire page.
    Anyway, I noticed that switching from RSS to Atom (for the same feed, I mean) solves the issue - so maybe it was related to the type of feed used.

  • I added a movie to my iPod, but it won't show up in the videos library! I have to search for it in the search bar!

    So I downloaded a video in mp4 format and added it to iTunes. It shows up in the Home Videos tab and i can play it just fine, but, when i plug my iPod Touch into my pc and let it sync, it doesn't show! When i say this i mean it is ON my ipod, but to get to it i have to search for it in Videos. All that shows up in the library is a Family Guy episode i purchased from itunes a while back and at the top it says "Family Guy" as if it is it's own catagory. There is no back button or any buttons for that matter. Just the search bar and the episode. This is what i get when i launch Videos:
    And to get the video i have to tap the search bar and search it and play it from there

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • The Education Pricing Discount won't show up in The Apple cart in the online store

    I am trying to get a MacBook Pro online, but the student Education discount pricing isn't showing up in the cart. I used the education store.

    Check that you have correctly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
    If not already, try using a powered USB port.
    Repeat the process but this time try connecting the cable while iTunes is closed.
    Repeat the process with another cable.

  • Pages won't show up in the area of iTunes where files are transferred.

    I want to pass Pages docs from my iMac to my iPad via iTunes and the sync cable but Pages doesn't show up in the bottom area. Only thing I'm thinking is that I have the box checked that allows the Cloud to sync with all my Pages documents. Could that be affecting my ability to pass documents to the iPad via iTunes and sync/transfer cable?

    Just want to confirm that I am also having this issue, The connection is fine, and it is in fact charging (@ 100%)
    Everything Rick has said is like an echo to what is happening to me.
    I have tried re-installing iTunes, and restarting the Bonjour service, sadly there is no change.
    earlier before i updated iTunes it recognised my iPod but said that I had to update iTunes in order for it to work.
    So i updated iTunes but now it's not even showing the device anywhere.
    In case this helps:
    OS: Windows 8.1
    iTunes version: 11.3.1.8
    Device: 5th generation iPod touch 16GB with ios 7
