[solved] xterm closes automatically after 6s

I'm having a really weird problem: xterm closes automatically after 6s of execution time, no matter what I run inside or whether I do anything in it at all.
No error in the logs or in .xsession-errors, return value is zero. The window just closes and anything running inside is aborted:
[alex@thor ~]$ time xterm
real 0m6.337s
user 0m0.030s
sys 0m0.000s
System is up-to-date arch64, awesome as desktop environment.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the hint: funny thing is I was indeed going to try cairo-xcompmgr, but the issue iccured before that
I traced it down to a script that was supposed to kill a specific xterm instance and instead killed all. So all my fault, thanks for the answer ^^

Why pdf files close automatically after a few seconds?

I recently re-installed Acrobat XI Pro and when I now open a pdf files it closes automatically after a few seconds - any one knows why and how to solve this problem?

You may have to reinstall or do a repair, one of the two. I would start with the repair from the help menu. Then do the updates also in the help menu. See if that fixes the issue. If not, you may have to reinstall. If you reinstall, use http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/acrobatcleaner.html and then remove any left over parts of the Acrobat folder, reboot, and reinstall. Then do the updates.

Alert "Power sub-system degraded or failed" won't close automatically after power restores

we have SCOM R2 and HP server in use.
we installed HP server MP.
each server has two power suppliers, one to UPS, one to Commercial power.
but there is always Commercial power outage, after which alert "Power sub-system degraded or failed" will arise.
when power restores, this alert won't close automatically.
Below please find alert properties,
there is no "Aoto-resolve" attribute, I suppose this is the reason why this alert won't close automatically after power restores.
but I want this alert to be closed automatically by SCOM after power restores, could anyone help me?

It looks like this particular alert is generated by a rule, and that rule simply generates an alert whenever certain events are detected in the event log. A rule that alerts on the creation of an event does not have the ability to close based on the
detection of a second event.
If this is the behavior you are looking for you would be best to create your own monitor as opposed to this rule, as you can create a custom monitor that alerts on one event or events and closes when another event or events are logged indicating things are
healthy again.
Once you have your custom monitor setup, you would then want to disable this rule that was built into the hp management pack. You can also look to see if the hp mp has any contact info that you can reach out to and ask for this feature to be included
in the next update of the mp, but for now i think your best option is to create a custom monitor that alerts on one event and closes on another.

[SOLVED] xterm Closes a Few Seconds After Opening

Using awesome, no DE. As in the title, xterm closes itself about 4 seconds after I open it with no errors displayed. I don't even know how to begin to figure out what's going wrong.
Any ideas?

How do you launch it? What's in your .bashrc? Do errors show up in the xlog or on the tty you launched X from? Do other terminals do the same thing? If no to the last question, what happens when you launch xterm from a working terminal emulator?

Why is it no longer possible to make the download window close automatically after downloading is finished ?

Only two days ago the download window closed after downloading.
What happened ?
And why is there a new and less efficient download window ?

Firefox now manages the downloads in the Downloads folder in the Library (History > Show All History > Downloads) and download are treated as history items.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Downloads+window
So you open the Library if you inspect all downloads and this Library window doesn't close automatically.
When a download is in progress then you see a download progress (timer) bar on the Navigation Toolbar instead of the Download Manager button and that button is highlighted once the download has finished to make you aware the their are new downloads.
You can view the new Download Manager in a tab by opening the about:downloads page and consider to open this page in a separate window.
You can set the Boolean pref browser.download.useToolkitUI to <i>true</i> on the <b>about:config</b> page to restore the classic Download Manager window and make all download settings appear in "Tools > Options > General".

When I open certain websites I use frequently(like financial trading sites), they seem to close automatically after about an hour. How do I keep them open until I decide to close them?

I recently installed 4.01. Now when I open Firefox, it only seems to stay open for about an hour or so, and then closes automatically.
How do I fix this and keep it open?

That may have been coded on those websites and is done automatically via JavaScript. If it didn't happen previously then it is possible that the used code doesn't work in previous Firefox version. Many of such sites do that and one hour looks to me as already quite long if you leave a page unattended.

Open mail message closes automatically after few seconds

Whenever I open a mail message to read - it automatically closes after a few seconds. Can this be prevented. Thanks

I just started having this issue as well. I recently downloaded my NHL hockey teams ICS calendar file into my exchange account. After that, when I read an e-mail on my iPhone, it would close the window and go back to my inbox on my iPhone. I first turned off calendar sync on my iPhone. At this point, I could read e-mail. I then moved the NHL hockey team's calendar events into another calendar in a separate PST, then turned calendar sync back on on my iPhone. I can still read all my e-mail.

Illustrator closes automatically after opening

I'm trying to install Adobe products on my new DELL 15R, I decided first to tryout the CC version and here's what I've been through since then...
1. Photoshop CC was installed & worked smoothly without any problems.
2. Then I installed Illustrator CC but I had this strange thing that the program shuts down automatically few seconds after I open it. I tried to uninstall & reinstall but nothing happened.
3. Then I uninstalled Illustrator & Installed InDesign CC & had the same problem with Illustrator.
4. I searched online here on the forums & on some other websites for solutions & here are some of what I found:
          a. reseting preferences
          b. removing fonts cache
          c. reinstalling & installing
          d. disabling or removing some plug-ins
          e. using the CC cleaner tool
          f. disabling the AMD driver
After all that hussle I decided to give up the CC so I uninstalled everything & tried to install the good old CS6 instead, but now I got the same thing!!
I tried all the suggested solutions above, from reseting the preferences, using Fontexplorer to manage any issue with fonts, disabling plug-ins, disabling AMD, re-installing many times, and also the CC Cleaner tool. Sill I got NOTHING!!!
I'm so frustrated that my old computer with Windows vista have all the CS6 running perfectly and I can't instal anything on my new one!!
Here is some info about my system:
DELL 15R 5537
Intel Core i7
Windows 8 x64
AMD Radeon HD 8850M
Please heeeeeeeeeeelp!

Hi Romyoi,
Which PS CC are you on? If possible, could you please uninstall all Adobe CC products and try to install only AICC and see if it works? It looks like some shared component is causing the issue in AI.
I know it is frustrating for you but these kind of diagnostic things might help us isolate this issue and work upon that accordingly. It would also help others who might also be facing this issue.

Upgraded & now Lightroom closes automatically after splash screen

I was using the Lightroom5 Trial version to explore moving from Aperture, successfully for 9 days when I decided to upgrade to LightroomCC and now nothing works.
I have tried logging out of CC and logging back in (yes, I am sure I did this correctly via Preferences)
I have uninstalled Lightroom5 (then logging out of CC and back in again)
I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling Lightroom CC
I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling Adobe CC & Lightroom CC. Again.
I have tried doing all this again & restarting my computer.
I have tried renaming the SLCache folder (SLStore folder not found)
I have deleted the contents of that folder
I have tried signing out of CC and opening Lightroom directly (I was briefly asked to sign in & accept terms but the Lightroom did not follow)
Seriously. How can I get Lightroom to launch again? Trying to reach live chat through Adobe support sends me in a viscous loop that keeps resulting in the same set of instructions that does not work.
Windows8 OS
All suggestions & feedback greatly appreciated (except the comments along the lines of logging off & logging in to Creative Cloud worked for you).

"C:\ProgramData\Adobe" folder may be hidden by default. you can search for the slstore folder and then open folder location.
this didn't help me one bit, and I've tried about as many things you have just to get the CC version to work.
I resorted to finding the download for 5.7 on adobe site and going back to the older version until the issues get sorted out.

When viewing documents on a Web Server, IE automatically opens a blank page and then opens the document in the default program. The blank screen should close automatically but isn't happening.

So here is the situation, my company uses a third party scanning software, that puts documents scanned or created onto a webserver. We use a program that grants a user access to view the documents on the webserver. The user will have to log into the system
using credentials, we have Kerberos doing this. Once the user is logged onto the system they navigate to the document they want to view or edit. So the user wants to view a .pdf file, they click the document they want, and it is supposed to open in the default
program associated with file extension. ie: .doc would open Word, .xls would open Excel. When the document is loading in the default program Internet Explorer opens a blank page, this page is supposed to prompt the user if they want to open or save the document.
(I changed the registry to have the files selected to automatically open without this prompt.) The blank screen generated is still staying open, this screen is supposed to close automatically after the prompt or close automatically after the document is opened.
So when a user is looking at several documents, this floods the screen with all these blank Internet Explorer pages. This problem is only occurring for users that have Windows 7 PC's, XP users do not have this problem at all. My PC is the only one in the company
that is Windows 7 64-bit, and working properly with the IE blank page automatically closing. I'm wondering what can be done to fix this problem, is it as simple as registering some .dll files or do I need to make a registry change? Any help would greatly be
appreciated.

What is the registry change exactly? Sounds like one which is supposed to avoid the prompt. I know
that there used to be such a thing, before the new prompt and I know that some users think that there should be such a thing for any program but I'm not sure if that expectation is valid or not. I think this may also be related to a concurrent change
in the OS. E.g. in XP we had File Types Options editor but starting in Vista that was removed. You might get some more clues on this tack from NirSoft's FileTypesMan utility.
The registry change that I did was to remove the open and save prompt. I will be sure to look into that. Our company
isn't worried about the user's automatically opening the files since they are all trusted. They also do not have the ability to install anything, so if they were to download a potentially harmful file they could never install it. We monitor downloads as well,
if they download files off the internet that aren't work related we remove their download capabilities.
Sounds like a scenario for using ProcMon to take two traces and compare them for their essential differences.
I talked to my boss about using this tool and he is worried about using it. I'm only an intern at my office and do not have the authority to use a program without their knowledge or consent. I will run the idea by them again and see if it's okay I use this.
I'll maybe make some presentation about how it can help us with our problem and how much time and money it will save. Because I really want to get down to the bottom of this.
Probably the most significant thing is going to be the Content-type that the files are being served by.
You could use the Developer Tools, Network Capture to check on that and ProcMon could help explain what happens after that. A related workaround to change the symptom when the Content-type is not what is expected is to disable MIME Sniffing (e.g. in
Security options, Miscellaneous section). In fact, perhaps that could explain your machine's difference with anyone else? MIME Sniffing is a default, previously known as "save according to type not extension" (or some such wording).
Okay I will be completely honest I have no idea how to use Developer Tools (F12), yes I could google it, when I tried using it on the blank pages it would never work, I also have no idea what I'm looking at. I should mention that I do not have access to
the web server. Our programming and development side only has access to our AS400, which is where the web server is located. I do have MIME Sniffing enabled and so does everyone else. I may be wrong but, I believe it is needed in order to open the file extension
in the correct default program, yes? I thought MIME Sniffing would see a .docx file and then find the appropriate program to open that .docx file in. I may be wrong but I know it's used somehow along these lines.

How to have TOC close automatically

Hi,
I am using CP5 and AS3. I am currently using the Table of Contents that is provided within Captivate. If you select a page from the TOC, it goes directly to the page but it does not close the TOC.
Is it possible to have the TOC close automatically after I choose a slide?
Thank you,
Frank

I dug around the net and tried making my own widget to have this done, but I ran into a bit of an issue. So far, I used this code in the widget:
var myRoot:MovieClip = MovieClip(root);
var mainmov:MovieClip = MovieClip(myRoot.parent.root);
mainmov.cpLockTOC = 1;
I was able to lock the TOC on the click of a button. Would you think it possible to make it so that the code automatically plays when someone enters a page within the captivate? As well, if that is possible, could I somehow switch the "cpLockToc" with a "hideTOC" code? Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks,
Frank

My X6 doesn't automatically close contacts after a...

Whenever I go to contacts and make a call, after I finish the call, I have to manually go to contacts and close them. They don't close automatically.
What could be wrong?

whenever you make call using the numbers in the contact, the contact option gets hidden and runs in the background. So because of this only you are to do the closing manually. No need to worry.
