Xfce font change caused window/panel crash

I just installed arch linux w/ xfce4 on my UX31A laptop for the first time yesterday. I had everything up and going...but today I was changing my font in:
Settings Manager > Appearance > Font
and after testing out one of the various fonts, my desktop panel and windows disappeared (though I can still open google chrome). I've tried reopening the settings manager from terminal using:
xfce4-appearance-settings
but receive the following error:
xfce4-appearance-settings: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
I'm sure I can fix this by finding the file in which the font setting is saved and changing it to another font, but I'm not sure where this is. Any ideas? Also, how can I prevent this in the future? Thanks for the help!

Did you hit Apply before you closed lxappearance? Otherwise the change is just a preview. Did you also run lxappearance as the same user that's having trouble with the panel?
If that doesn't do it, try running xfce4-settings-editor. Don't get your hopes up though
xfce4-settings-editor
Go to the channel "xsettings" and edit /Gtk/FontName to something sensible, or reset it.
Otherwise, this should be able to reset the Gtk font property(See here: http://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/xfconf-query).
xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Gtk/FontName
If that can't run either, edit the files manually(I find it highly unlikely that these don't exist, please say so if they don't):
~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml:
<channel name="xsettings" version="1.0">
<property name="Gtk" type="empty">
<property name="FontName" type="string" value="FontName FontSize"/> 
</property>
</channel>
If that doesn't do it, I assumed the panel would follow the Gtk theme, but perhaps it doesn't. What about this?

Regarding the error, I have literally no experience with Xlib so I'm afraid I can't help you solve it that way.

Video Drivers in Windows 7 64 bit cause Windows to crash after reboot

I have a Mac Mini mid 2011, I installed Windows 7 64 bit through Bootcamp. After the install I install the Mac drivers. I have narrowed it down to the video card drivers are causing Windows to crash on reboot. Are there other drivers I can use? Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

I have an imac
I have an magic pad (same thing as the touch pad on a macbook really)
I have an usb mouse I use both in windows and osx
if your trackpad somehow was registered as actived for some reason it would seem as if it was the mouse
had some *** situations both in windows and osx when my cat sit on the magicpad

IPhone causes Windows to crash immediately when Camera app is on...

I sync my iPhone with two computers: an iMac for music, videos & photos, and my Dell Inspiron D860 running Windows XP for my work e-mail, contacts, and calendar.
If I have taken a photo with the iPhone and either leave my iPhone in Camera mode, or have even left any photos in the "Camera Roll" album in the Photos app, then my Windows PC crashes immediately when I hook the camera up for a sync. As soon as the USB cable makes a connection, I get an instant blue screen: informing me of a BIOS memory error and a message saying that Windows is shutting down to prevent further damage. So, I disconnect the iPhone and reboot the computer.
However, if I delete any images in the Camera Roll album of Photos and make sure that the iPhone is not running Camera when I plug it in, I can sync between the iPhone and iTunes on Windows XP flawlessly.
The irony here is that I have left the sync Photos box unchecked in iTunes on the Dell running XP. So, technically, nothing in the Camera or Photos apps on my iPhone should even be communicating with software on the XP system.
Have other folks experienced this problem? If not, perhaps I'm doing something wrong and would appreciate any insights!!
Thanks

I finally nailed it.
i have a Acer Aspire notebook with orbicam and i had the latest driver from ACER but still had some problems on XP but deleted everything (Orbicam drivers and camera utility from Control Panel) also i verified that everything was gone in MY PC / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager / Imaging Devices (if not, uninstall the Orbicam from there.
then i restarted my computer and installed Logitech Quickcam utility version 10.5 from logitech site (from the Quickcam 4000) that i previously downloaded, everything went ok.. i restarted again my computer and my camera worked perfecty and also i was able to connect my iphone with photos in camera roll and XP detected it normally without any trouble. The only thing that came out after doing this is that my Orbicam appears in the SAFE DEVICE REMOVAL UTILITY right next to the other utility icons and the clock. i will try to solve this and post any coments.
I hope this info is useful for others like me with this issue.

Incoming email fonts change in Windows 8.1 LIve Mail

Some, but not all incoming email fonts change to almost unreadable block fonts when arriving at Windows Live Mail. It seems to be happening on forwarded items only. Suggestions on how to stop this, or change fonts when it occurs would be most welcome.
On same general subject, is it possible to change size of incoming email fonts in Windows 8.1?

John, welcome to the forum.
Open Windows Live Mail. Click on the blue "File" in the upper left corner. Then, Options / Mail / Read / Fonts (lower middle of page) / Font size. There you can change the size of the font. I believe that it should come set to "Medium". You can change it by clicking on the drop-down menu.

--One frustrated user

I have the same problem. I connect my iphone to my windows xp work laptop just to charge, not sync (Sync from macbook at home). I have been doing it for a month and no problems.
All of a sudden my computer won't even boot, just BSOD almost immediately, cannot load windows. I didn't think it was the phone but then I was using my coworkers laptop and put my iphone in to charge. When I gave it back to her, the next time she tried to boot she had the same problem as me.
Could the Iphone really cause such a massive failure?
These dells don't even have webcams.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

GP login script causes windows to crash

We have a script that runs on all computers that opens our intranet. This script crashed Windows build 9926 overtime. Is there any way to fix this. Also I can't install the new build because the HP printers update fails everytime.

Hi,
How did you determined that it is the script caused this problem? If this problem caused by the script indeed, what't the function of this script?
For HP printer problem, it's probably a driver compatibility with new system problem, it would be better to contact HP support to confirm this issue.

Adobe Acrobat 9 causes Windows to crash

Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 crashes Windows when I try to open
multiple PDFs.
This does not occur when opening multple PDFs in the Adobe
Reader program.
Any ideas? Are you only allowed to run on instance of Adobe
Pro - I would expect a simple message indicating this and not a
crash - I recall being able to open multiple files w/ previous
versions.
Thanks...

Hello AnasaziCannibal,
Thanks for posting!
Unfortunately, you've reached the Acrobat.com forums which
are specific to the Acrobat.com website and its set of hosted

Here is a link to the Windows Acrobat forums for you. This

Importing video from hard drive causes windows to crash

Whenever I try to add video files to itunes either itunes freezes or windows crashes. I've tried comepletely reinstalling itunes and Quicktime as well as using selective configuration on startup but still keeps happening. Any suggestions?
Windows XP Pro

Hmmm. I installed the new driver but still no go. After I install and startup again I get notices that new hardware has been detected (video something, VGA compliant...) and Windows prompts me to install the correct drivers. I tried iTunes before and after accepting this prompt for another driver but always the same.
After starting up again and before accepting the Windows prompt I checked the Device Manager and there was a yellow question mark beside a VGA device (not sure if I remember this correctly) which hadn't appeared in the list before. After accepting the prompt this device disappeared.
And ideas where to turn next?

Emzdecmp4_h263.dll causes windows explorer crash

When browsing folders with video files in windows explorer, a crash occurs.
Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.3156, faulting module emzdecmp4_h263.dll, version 2.6.1.0, fault address 0x00002827.
If I unregister this file, the problems stops.
IE: regsvr32 /u "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Nokia\Codecs\EmzDecMP4_H263.dll"
Windows XP Pro SP2 (2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.090206-1233)
PC Suite v7.1.28.1

Thanks a ton! This worked like a charm.
Although, there is no assurance that the other codecs in the same folder (C:\Program Files\Common\Nokia\Common) won't create a problem. Here's a listing of the other files.
ArcAPPDMO.dll
EmzAACDecFilter.dll
EmzAACEnc.dll

BB s/w causes windows to crash

Just about every morning opening the lid of my laptop and clicking every button I could find I could not wake it up - even though it was only supposed to be in sleep mode. Each time I would have to power it down and reboot. Event Viewer would show an "unexpected shutdown" and often there would be an event which referenced MDNS. After researching and trying different things I finally decided to just disable 2 services: RIM MDNS and BB Link Comm Mgr. It's now been a week without crashes. Anyone have any experience or comments on this issue?

Windows 8 crash

I wrote a VI for controlling 3 New-Era syringe pumps and a Eurotherm 3216 temperature controller.
The 3 syringe pumps are piggy backed one after the other, and the first syringe as well as the temperature controller are connected via USB-to-Serial to a YOGA2PRO idea-pad running a 64bit Windows 8.1 running Labview 2013
My problem is that the program causes windows to crash, resulting in the blue reboot screen with the error "Multiple_IRP_complete_requests"
This error occurs at different stages of the programs and can occur after 10 mineuts or after an hour of running.
When I transfer the exact same VI to a 32bit Windows XP Lenovo running Labview2012 the program runs without a glitch!
I tried rewriting the VI to account for communication collisions or timing issues but havent been able to solve this mystry!
For now Im running my program on the "old" computer, but I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions on the matter.

Here are all the files.
In addition, I removed all the unnecessary stuff from the code.
I have no reason to believe the crash occurs due to anything but the labview, because there is absolutly nothing else on the computer besides the OS.
and this error keeps hapening only when I run the program
Thanks again.

Crashes after trying to change font in score window

Hi,
I'm having a weird problem with Logic 7.1 in my powerbook 1.33. When trying to change a font in score edit window, Logic crashes imediatly. It happens in the "Text Styles" window as well. When you click in a font name, it's gone!
Any ideas? Running in the latest Tiger with 1Gb RAM. Also, is it a problem to keep Logic 6.4 installed on the same machine?
Thanks everybody!

Do you use another machine for that task?
as a matter of fact i do, although my G4 will run classic. and LP7 is os x only, you need an older version of logic that runs in OS 9. logic won't run in classic mode.
to save your file, i suggest taking it to someone with os 9 and an old version of logic. in fact, if you emailed it to me i could do it. someone on this forum suggested buying an older machine with USB (or getting a USB card) just for such emergencies. i have retained my old G3 powerbook with logic 5.5. it has a PCMCIA USB card on it so i can put in my XSkey.
having to do this is stupid though. let's see, to fix this logic score display bug, we have to buy an old computer that can boot up in classic, open and resave the corrupted song in that. what a ridiculous work around.
when I open older socres created on my previous mac-printer setup, it's all messy, dynamics, articulations and text (not to mention the wrong fonts).
yet another reason we need some logic score updating action. the reason your score looks funny will be due to the fact that you probably resized your score using page setup - ie using your printer driver. the correct way to do this is by opening the instrument set display box and resizing there.
fonts not being displayed will be down to whatever fonts you have available in your system, so if you do not have the fonts available then they cannot be displayed. another reason your display will look strange, particularly in terms of where your articulations and dynamics are placed in the score may have to do with how you inserted them in the first place. in logic, you have to be very careful to insert your dynamics, articulations etc on the correct stave (it will be highlighted blue when you select the object) and in the correct midi position. check to see if they are in your messy score by selecting the object (ie dynamic articulation or whatever) and opening the event editor. is it where it should be?
another trick if the display is completely screwed in logic 7 is to cut an object at a barline. (though obviously not in the middle of a note). this forces logic to recalculate the score display.
my advice if you want to have soft copies of previous scores is to create pdf's of them. i almost never print directly from logic (unless i am in a terrible rush), i create pdf's first. that way you won't run in to the display problem. you can do this easily in os 9 if you have laserwirter 8 selected in chooser. you can then save to file and choose acrobat pdf.
let me know if you want me to rescue your logic song that won't open.

Desktop software causes Windows 7 to crash

I have been using Desktop Software for ages now, very successfully on the Windows XP Pro platform. I have now changed to Windows 7 Pro. Although I have downloaded and installed the latest Desktop software build, which is supposed to be Windows 7-compatible, it is certainly not on my machine.
What happens is this: When I first install the Desktop software, and start it, and use it to sync with Outlook, it works fine. Eventually of course I shut down the computer at the end of the session.
The problem occurs when I next trry to boot up. Every time I do this I get a blue screen crash long before any welcome screen appears. The blue screen doesn't last long enough for me to read what it says but the effect is clear - no boot until a repair of some sort is done. I have found that the only way to achieve a successful boot after this is to take the repair option and then the restore option to a time before installing the Blackberry Desktop software.
This has happened so many times now, with other software and hardware being installed at different times perfectly successfully. Only Blackberry Desktiop software causes these crashes. I have gone through this process at least a dozen times now, all with exactly the same effect.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going on here?

ive recently run into this problem as well with windows 7 on my gf's pc. both got 9700 bold's mine worked out fine with vista, but her comppy wont boot. bout as far as i can get from school is to walk her through booting into safe mode to uninstall the bb app til i can get home lol.. kinda screwwy that i cant really find much useful information about it in the past hour or so
about the only thing that has shown up was a 'problem signature 07' screen saying badpatch.. apparently no decent error code to lookup.. help!

Strange Font Change in Certain Windows

The font in advisory windows, such as the iTunes Agreement, or error notifications has suddenly changed from Arial ( or whatever the default font is ) to Curlz. I have disabled Curlz in Fontbook but it remains in all notifications including the items directory of Dreamweaver CS5.
I don't know what caused the font change and I don't have clue as to how to resolve it.

Hi Doug --
If you are positive it's the Curlz font,
don't just disable it. Locate it via "Find" or Spotlight.
Put it in the trash.
Restart your Mac and test again.
