The command who shows nothing when logged in with xdm

I use xdm to graphical og in my machine (locally). (I have just put my initlevel to 5 in /etc/inittab and uncommented the line corresponding to xdm). The who command does not show that I am logged in (it has no output). If I login directly to the console (without GUI), then the who command show that I am logged in. How can I fix this? I thinks this have something to do with the line
exec /usr/bin/sessreg -a -w /var/log/wtmp -u /var/run/utmp -x /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers -l $DISPLAY -h "" $USE
that is present in /etc/X11/xdm/Xstartup, but I am not sure. (I use the default xdm configuration).

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app. However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2. I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2? Any suggestions for getting the correct photo to show on iPad2?

Update: I was able to have the correct photo show in my email as received on my iPad2 by changing a setting on my IMac prior to sending the photo on the email.
On the iMac, I went into iPhoto > Preferences > Email photos using > Mail (in lieu of "iPhoto"). This seems to have corrected the issue. I'm not sure why. Now the correct photo shows up when received on my iPad2.

How to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in

Hi All,
I have basic knowledge of Session and Servlets. I am wondering how to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in. There should be some way of achieving it.
I thought of it and come up with having an Application variable that hold it when ever a user successfully logged in.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

You can do this by keeping data in a static veriable in a some class of yours. The variable will need to be a collection.
Whenever a user loogs in to the site a servlet/jsp should put the users information in to the collection and when logs off or when the session expires the entry should be take off.
You can achive this by storing the velues in a some sort of a week collection where the entries are automaticaly removed when all the other refferences to the entry goes out of scope.
You might need to read bit about java.lang.ref package and WeekReference
Or you can make the entry in the collection contain the last time that the user visited any of the pages and a thread can run time to time and clean up the older entries which have timed out

You need to plug the iPad into your computer that has iTunes installed on it, and activate it.

When i press "Alt" imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?

Good day!
I have this problem: when i press "Alt" my imac runs the command "duplicate" or "copy". It interferes with work, how to fix it?
Thank you.

Hi, thank you!
For example when I work in Nuke, and press "option" (for navigation), after I will release the "option", selected node will be duplicated.
The same issue, but with copying happens when I'm working in blender and hold the "option" to navigate - I see the message "copied selected objects to buffer".
Maybe it's some additions to the finder, which I could set a long time ago? In any case, how to fix it?
Thanks in advance!

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

What is the name of the tooltips that shows up when you hover over a UIbutton?, such as "back", "foreward", "home" etc

Okey so basically I've themes my windows 7 into a black state.
The thing about that is that the default font color firefox uses for tooltips and other information is back so its quite impossible for me to read.
After a while googleing I found out that something called userChrome.css can be used so naturally I looked furhter.
I found answers for almost everything I was looking for, except these "button tooltips".
Heres my userChrome.css code:
menubar, menu {
color: black !important;
menupopup > menu,
menupopup > menuitem,
popup > menu,
popup > menuitem {
color: white !important;
tooltip, statusbar {
color: white !important;
Basically it takes care of all text that was black and turns it the way I like it.
So what is the name of the tooltips that shows up when you hover over a UIbutton? such as "back"
With the correct name I should be able to add
name {
color: white !important
and it should work just fine :)

Unable to create tickets from sattelite system when logged in with Arabic

Hi There,
We are unable to create suppurt message from the satellite system when logged in
with arabic language. A window is popping up with the message below.
<< Error in Local Message System: Select one of the
installed languages Message was Not Created >>
We are able to create support messages when logged in with English
language from the setellite system.
We have arabic language installed in the satellite system.
Thanks and Regards,
Azher.

Hi Srikishan,
Thank you so much for the prompt reply and I have been able to resolve the issue with the hint you gave.
We dont have Arabic language installed on solution manager, but in the RFC destination <SM_<SID>CLNT<XXX>_BACK> the logon language was empty, I maintained that with the default language "EN" and it worked.
once again thanks a lot for the solution.
Regards,
Azher.

You should have asked this before you tried: Changing username or short name- User Account and Short Name- OS X- How to change user account name or home directory name.
