TS1541 10.6.8 login screen blocked

Hi,
MbPro, 10.6.8 Snow Leopard -
When I boot up, my login screen (with three accounts on it you can choose one of three I mean) is totally blocked. I can move the arrow and click on my login name but nothing happens, it doesnt "move the login name left/up" to show me the password field so I can get on with typing my password. It just sits there, no matter where I click with the trackpad, left button right button or anywhere, its blocked and will not show the password field so I can get on with logging in.
If I leave the mouse over my login name a popup tho does appear telling me Im about to click on my name.
Then you let it sit there for 5-10 Minutes and all of a sudden it starts working; I can click on my login name and now I can type my password.
This now happens everytime I startup my Mac.
Any ideas?
Repair permissions and check disk was okay, didnt solve the problem though...Im worried one day it will stop letting me in full stop...then what..
Thanks for any tipps
The Wumpus

Thanks but....oh dont be fooled!
For me it always works with an attached Usb mouse.
I use that in work. With the mouse, it always works.
With the trackpad it doesnt..so Im not sure this is linked to you switching of your trackpad; I think with the mouse it will always work anyways. But having said all that,
How did you switch your trackpad "Off"? Did you rip it out of the keyboard and glue it back in?
Cant harm me trying that here....
Thanks for letting me know

Lion login screen problems on Mid 2009 MacBook Pro

After upgrading my wife's Mid 2009 MacBook Pro from Snow Leopard to Lion we are seeing weird behavior on the login screen after the computer wakes from sleep mode.
The screen is only partially drawn (usually the top left 1/4 of the screen), and the grey background is shown instead of her desktop background picture. When you move the mouse around on the screen, it repaints blocks on the screen where the pointer has been.
This only seems to happen when the machine sleeps for a long period of time, e.g., overnight. When it just sleeps for a little while we don't see the issue.
When searching the forums for anyone else with the problem, several folks said that there was an issue with the video drivers for the 9400M card and recommended switching to the 9600M GT, but her machine only has the 9400M in it.
All other aspects of the system work fine.
Anyone else seeing this? Any clues?

Surprised there hasn't been anyone else experiencing this issue.
I have seen this on 2 new MBP 2.3mhz i5's with the Intel HD 3000 384mb graphics, Lion 10.7.3 & 10.7.4.
Also with the latest Lion firmware for the late 2011 MBP's that addresses compatibility and stability issues.
Hopefully there is a fix soon because the painting on my locked screen to login is getting annoying

Changes to login screen not recognized

Hi,
I wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction. Several months ago a colleague made changes to the standard login screen for Oracle BI Answers. The change was a warning notice about a power outage that would shut down our servers in the form of a link on the login screen that brought up a small notice.
The changes were made to the following tags and files similar to below:
logonmessages.xml
<WebMessage name="kmsgAuthenticateRequestedContentRequiresLogon"><HTML>Please enter your ID and password below, and then press Log In button to access reports. There will be a server outage this weekend. More details to follow.<div class="wrn">Network Outages<div class="pppoverlay">There will be a complete power outage affecting the network, where our servers are located, between evening Daylight Time on Friday 13-November-2009 and evening Daylight Time on Sunday 15-November-2009.<br><br>Our servers will be shut down during this period.<br><br>Please accept our apologies for inconvenience.<br><br><div style="float:right;"><em>Technology Team</em></div></div></div></HTML></WebMessage>

It was a handy way of advising people.
I have tried to replicate this for another planned outage this weekend but despite following instructions could not get the notice link to display.
I have followed guides from:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2008/09/obiee-making-custom-log-on-and-log-off.html
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/11/oracle-bi-ee-101332-customizing-login-screen/
and have tried restarting Oracle Application Server as advised but still can not get the change to display.
Also tried different directories quoted from manual in page 194 and 195 of Oracle Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide Version 10.1.3.2
Running on Solaris SunOS 5.10
using Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.3.2
I am wondering if I am using the wrong directories completely but have run out of options to try.
Are the served web pages (ie the login screen page) logged anywhere that would indicate which files and directories are being accessed?
I have made backups of the original files with different file names but left those backups in the same directories. Could that be conflicting with the new versions?
Regards
Mark

Hi,
For future reference, when making changes to the xml files such as app/~/OracleBI/web/msgdb/customMessages/logonmessages.xml
DO NOT leave copies of the original files in the same folder - as a backup.
Once I had removed all backup copies and restarted bi, the change worked fine and I was able to view the altered notice.
Looking back at the manual, had I followed the instructions exactly, I would have avoided this but it was not explicit that files of different names would also be read.
Regards
Mark

After the latest updat to Mavericks 10.9.3, my imac continues to loop back to the login screen...Suggestions??? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

After the latest updat to Mavericks 10.9.3, my imac continues to loop back to the login screen...Suggestions??? THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]

Login Screen in Oracle forms builder 6i

Hello everyone
I am trying to create a canvas with a login screen and password in oracle forms builder 6i.
So far I have create the following table:
CREATE TABLE PASSWORD
(USER_ID NUMBER(3)
CONSTRAINT PASSWORD_USER_ID_PK PRIMARY KEY,
PASSWORD VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL);
Inserted the following values:
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (1,1010);
INSERT INTO PASSWORD (USER_ID,PASSWORD)
VALUES (2,2020);
Created a MENU canvas with a LOGIN button TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD text boxes.
In the LOGIN button i have inserted the following WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger:
BEGIN
SELECT USER_ID
INTO :GLOBAL.USER_ID
FROM PASSWORD
WHERE USER_ID = :LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
AND PASSWORD= :LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD;
GO_BLOCK('PASSWORD');
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
:GLOBAL.COUNT := :GLOBAL.COUNT + 1;
IF :GLOBAL.COUNT = 1 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 2 THEN
MESSAGE('wrong');
MESSAGE('wrong');
ELSIF
:GLOBAL.COUNT = 3 THEN
EXIT_FORM;
END IF;
END;
When i try to compile that it gives an error Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_USER_ID
Bad bind variable LOGIN.TI_PASSWORD
What am i doing wrong?

i tried to reffer to several items in several blocksi suspect that when you removed the exception it ends up with the no data found error. you need not to remove the exception clause try to bring that back. then try in SQL*Plus to see if your query returns any rows with the same data that you are attempting to use in your TI_USER_ID and TI_PASSWORD block item. if it does not return that is the cause of your issue it will not execute the GO_ITEM() command it will simply go to the exception clause.

Discoverer Plus Applet - Cant get login screen

Hi,
I have discoverer 4i set up on Linux and Win 2000 with 9ias 1.0.2.2.
The discoverer viewer works fine in both environment.
The discoverer plus works fine with WIN 2000.
However with Linux the applet does not bring the login screen. The applet continue to be displayed but is not navigable.
Thanks
Shailesh

Hi,
This happens due to the configuration of the browser and the java installed.
First make sure the configuration in the browser are set correctly, pop up blocker disabled, lan setting do not prevent access to the discoverer server and son on...
Try to remove any java version he has on the computer and install a fresh new JRE.
Now try again.

Blank WiFi login screen at various public hotspots

Whenever I'm at a public hotspot that requires a login (like, say, a Panera Bread), my iPhone detects the network, then pops up a Login screen. The problem is, that screen remains blank -- I never get as far as being able to actually log in.
I've tried resetting my network settings, resetting my phone, etc. -- no soap.
A possible clue: The *one* time it seemed to work was when there was no available cellular connection. Then the Wi-Fi login screen actually appeared. But when the cellular connection was recovered, I again found myself unable to connect to that Wi-Fi network.
Help!
TIA...

OK, I believe I may have solved this
When you can't log into public WiFi ...
with an iDevice running iOS7…
because the Server times out ...
or the login/registration page just won't load ...
********Simply do this***********
Go into settings> WiFi and tap the little info icon for the network you are trying to join
If you see two slider buttons, these are the cause of your woes
One says "Auto Join" (or similar) - you can leave this ON
The second button is "Auto Login" - you must turn this OFF (slide it left so it is grey not green)
Now go back and reselect the network.
If the login page doesn't come up automatically, open a Safari window and enter any address
Bingo!
I have reproduced this issue and solution in 100% of the public WiFi spots which I could previously not access. Please not that I also have "Block Pop-Ups" turned OFF in Settings> Safari, though I do not know if this is a necessary step.
I have filed a bug report with Apple. Feel free to contact them yourselves if this workaround works for you.
Also, please mark this as "Solved" if it works for you so that others will know how to connect to public WiFi.
Peace y'all

[Solaris10] Chaning login screen and question about JDS

Hi. I'm relativly new to solaris but I have a lot of experiance with linux and *bsd systems.
I have two (easy maybe?) questions:
1) How Can I change the login screen in solaris 10 (i'm talking about this: http://www.netrock.ca/solaris-login.jpg )
2) How can I acces my JDE desktop from IceWM or the monowindow session ? I have blocked this options from the start menu since it put the load of my system at 100% will the employees logged on that at the same time
additionnal infos:
- We are using SunRay terminals with SRSS
- We are using Solaris 10 for Sparc
Thanks alot !
Phil

Solaris uses the dtlogin by standard, thats the one which' picture you posted. If you wish to change this the best way is to replace dtlogin with gdm.
This is relatively easy, first disable the dtlogin program. You can do so using /usr/dt/bin/dtconfig (check the helpscreen, you can use it to enable and disable dtlogin). After that the only thing you need to do is enable gdm. Its part of the Solaris' SMF but iirc you need to manually setup the manifest for it first, but a mere 'svcs -a | grep gdm" will tell you more on that.
The only thing which you may run into is that you probably need to configure Xorg first, but I'm not sure about that.
I don't quite understand the second question.

Login window blocks forever

I have done a systemupgrade. Unfortunately during the upgrade my laptop shutdown (due to high temperature).
I let the laptop cool down and tried to login again, but I just could enter my login name and the password and then the login widow blocked forever without any desktop coming up.
I went to a textconsole, logged in and finished the upgrade (pacman -Syu) sucessfully. Then I entered "init 3" to kill the login window and started "startxfce4" without any problems. I changed my inittab to start with runlevel 3 only as a workaround.
What can be wrong with the login window? Can anybody help?

We cable internet users had similar problems in our neighborhood a while back. Sometimes the delay was there but more often than not, computers started OK. The system overview showed nothing wrong to the support types but one neighbor persisted and the techs found what they described as "confusing" reports on our node (takes in about four city blocks).
They came out and worked on the node wiring and things returned to normal.
The point is, sometimes the cable company doesn't know they have a local node problem until enough people rub their noses in it.

Login screen comes up repeatedly, booting into safe mode by default

Good Morning,
I have an iMac (Lion 10.8) that is having a lot of trouble. I manage an Elementary School's IT fleet. At the end of last year, the computer was booting into Safe Mode by default. Once the system came up, the teacher could use it - but it took so long to boot that she chose not to. The teacher left the school, and I was planning to just format it and reimage. Here is what I have happening.
Boots into safe mode on it's own
Once it's done booting, the login screen shows up - but entering any credentials just gets a grey screen, and the login screen comes right back. Even root. Which means I can't get logged into the computer at all.
Recovery mode will not allow me to erase the drive, says failed and not able to access the drive.
Target mode will also not allow me to erase the drive, nor will it allow me to push over an image. Scanning the drive failed, busy.
Disk repair says unable to repair disk - please format.
These are the things I have tried.
Reset PRAM (three times over the course of troubleshooting)
Replaced the RAM completely
Unplugged 15 seconds trick
Accessing via Target mode - Drive is greyed out, but shows up
Ran FSCK manually, and it completed
Tried to do a netinstall, but the disk does not show up in netboot as an option.
I thought maybe the drive was bad, but considering that it will boot into safe mode eventually (although you can't login), and FSCK completed successfully - I'm just not sure! I just thought I'd pick your brains. I'm usually a Windows \ Linux Administrator, so this Apple business is new to me I'm learning! Although I find them frustrating. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you

I thought maybe the drive was bad, but considering that it will boot into safe mode eventually (although you can't login),
Some part of the disk may be bad while others are good. i/o could be trying multiple times and eventually succeeding.
Ran FSCK manually, and it completed
You run FSCK in single user mode? This is very surprising. FSCK verifies the filesystem is in order. Actual data blocks could be bad. Would be a surprise if no file system blocks were not also bad.
Except for this fact, it seems like a hd problem. Intermediate problem. Heat problem, etc.
Time to try a different hd. See if that works. Could be some other hardware problem. Try external drive/flash drive, etc.

Blank Login screen - DNS issue

At my company's site we seem to be experiencing an intermittant blank login screen but only for the microsoft sign in page, the Skype sign in page loads up fine.
When skype loads up we get this screen:
And the users choose "Microsoft account". They should then see this screen:
Instead they get this:
At the bottom there is a warning message saying the following:
"This page contains errors. Go back"
The site is using OpenDNS to filter DNS queries for the PCS and the policy is fairly locked down.
On any affected PC, if I:
- Close Skype
- Point the DNS settings to something like 8.8.8.8 (google's DNS server)
- Load up skype
The login screen (image 2) loads up normally. The user can login and I can then flip back the DNS settings to the OpenDNS server and there are no further issues.
What this means is that Skype is trying to contact a Microsoft/Skype server somewhere on the interent and because it is not on my OpenDNS whitelist it gets blocked and fails like in image 3.
My question is can anyone tell me what the server is? I went through the OpenDNS logs and whitelisted a bunch of microsoft stuff and some other things related to certificates but still no luck.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Evetually I took Techfreak's suggestion and sniffed the packets with wireshark. Was annoyed to discover that the root cause of the issue was suspiciously named sb.symcd.com.
Some quick Google-fu led me to a page which advised that this domain should be whitelisted for Lync installations. Hmm.
Why microsoft could not use more intuitive/descriptive server names is a mystery. Anyway, I whitelisted *.symcd.com and from the limited testing it appears to be resolved.

Blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds

hi, we have an ipad running IOS 5 that keeps having a blank login screen on the iPad keeps popping up and wifi disconnecting after 20 seconds.
I am yet to find out why this is, any clues? (note that both apple.com and facebook are blocked at the router, but nothing else)...

actually we cannot due to policy reasons... it appears through testing that the iPad is phoning home and sending private data to Apple regardless, it is also odd they placed these PRIVACY settings in About hidden away so that no-one knows they are there.
From the iPad homescreen, tap on Settings > General > About
Tap on "Diagnostics & Usage" > select "Don't Send"
So... anyone else know why if we block Apple, the iPad disconnects from the internet via Wifi?

Gnome 2.8 system/admin/no login screen?

Hi,
Why has system/admin/login been removed in Gnome 2.28?
I used to like to set my own login screen and login sounds from my own collection.
Is there some other way to customise these or is it still in development and will come up in a later release?
Thanks
Regards

what kind of screen do you got instead ?
is it blocking somewhere ?
