Xfce4 Can't Start File Manager or Settings w/Non-Super User

This is possibly a very stupid question, but I've been weeding through the forums and the wiki for a couple of hours now to no avail.  I've just installed Xfce and have it working in conjunction with GDM.  I can login just fine with my non-root account, but then I'm unable to adjust the Settings or load the File Manager as I am able to do when I login using root.
In the case of trying to load the Settings dialog box, I click on the icon in the panel, and it does absolutely nothing.  When I click on the File Manager icon, however, an hourglass appears as if it is trying to load, but then after about 30 seconds the hourglass disappears and nothing opens.
I have installed Firefox, and it works just fine under either account, and so I'm thinking it may be a simple permissions/groups problem...any thoughts?

The ownership of both the .cache and .config directories for some reason belonged to root and not my user.  I completely wiped out those directories, and restarted Xfce while logged into my account and it seems to be working now.  Thanks for the help xerverius.
On a side note, I also noticed that the .local directory is also owned by root and not myself.  There is nothing in it currently but a share directory, but does the ownership need to be changed for this as well?  It's completely unrelated to the Xfce problem, but I thought it was a little strange...

  • Can't start Daemon Manager service on CSM 3.1

    Hello dear experts!
    After i've installed CSM 3.1 on customer server i found that CSM Daemon Manager service can't start. Next error log appears in MS Event Viewer:
    "Faulting application dmgtd.exe, version 1.0.0.1, faulting module dmgtd.exe, version 1.0.0.1, fault address 0x00011f96."
    After these i tried to start this service manually, but i got next error:
    "Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion"
    I did software installation remotely using Microsoft Terminal connection to server.
    I have exactly the same problem with Cisco LMS 2.6 which i've installed on another server. Daemon Manager can't start there too.
    Could you give me advices what i need to do?

    I tried to reboot server and wait for Windows to load services much times, but it did not help my any way. I found error reason: Daemon Manager couldn't start because there was no swap space on my server. I checked syslog file and found the alert. After i tuned swap settings this service started. But there is one interesting fact during CSM and LMS installation: though swap space setting on my server was as "No paging file", but CSM (LMS) installer shows me that i have sufficient swap space. So always check log files (C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\log) if you can't start your CSM or LMS.

  • Active-Active firewall, multiple mode can't do file management?

    Hi all
    as above title, found that i can't use ASDM to do file management.
    I get this after i read the configuration documents: Backing Up and Restoring Configurations, Images, and Profiles (Single Mode)
    So in Active-Active it's a multiple mode, can't just simply backup/upgrade it firmware and ASDM?
    You are welcome to share your comment, thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Please make sure you are in the system context to take the back up or restore. It only appears in the system context.

  • Can't copy files to server - multiple instances of same user in getinfo

    I can't copy files from one of my desktop computers to a server that I administer, via AFP. When I try to do so, I get the following sequence of messages:
    1. "You may need to enter the name and password for an administrator on this computer to change the item named [file]"
    2. "The item [file] contains one or more items you do not have permission to read. Do you want to copy the items you are allowed to read?"
    3. "The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items."
    BEFORE I attempt to copy any given file to the server, Getinfo shows that I have read and write access; unknown has read-only access, and everyone has read only access.
    AFTER I attempt and fail to copy the file, another instance of "Me" appears in the Getinfo, with Custom privileges. The other users and permissions remain as above. Even after I unlock the file, I am not allowed to edit permissions for any of the users.
    I have repaired permissions on the client. This issue has persisted through 10.5.2 and the 10.5.3 upgrade.
    I can successfully copy to the server from another one of my computers. It's just this one client machine that's giving me trouble.
    What gives???

    It looks like a configuration problem with our servers/network. We have tried several new laptops with 10.6 in different parts of the company, with different network switches and locations, and get the same result. Anything with 10.5 or older has no problem. I broke the raid1 apart on my Mac Pro and installed 10.5 on the second drive, and have no problems now.

  • Why can't Apple make 'publish changes only' for non .mac users?

    The recent iWeb update to 1.1 and the now increasingly obvious differential between .mac and non .mac features has prompted me to post here today.
    I can understand comments, passwords and search facilities being a .mac only experience because it requires server side technology. I can also understand that .mac users get enhanced features like slideshows as well.
    But why is the fundamentally *basic* option to 'publish the changes only' not available to non .mac users?
    I know uploading to .mac uses a different protocol to uploading via FTP, but I don't think it is about that. Obviously the software engine in iWeb 1.1 can now track the pages that have changed, and flag those for uploading. So if the facility to do this is not available with non .mac uploading, is this some form of crippleware? Can any software engineers comment on this or am I talking off the top of my head? [And please mods, don't delete this post - I use the word 'crippleware' in its harshest form, clearly I can still use iWeb to make fantastic websites - I am asking a technical question here.]

    OK, from reading this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=486335&tstart=0
    There is a pattern: An error occurred while publishing file “/blah/blah", while file "/blah/blah" seems to be random from one person to the next, but they all share one thing and that is communication protocol.
    For iWeb to be able to publish changes to .Mac, it has to:
    1. identify if the file exists
    2. do the following:
    2a. if not exists, copy it to .Mac
    2b. if exist, do some sort comparison - CRC checksum -
    2b1. if checksums match, don't copy
    2b2. if checksums don't match copy it to .Mac
    At least I think that's what going on, I don't have .Mac so that is best I can think of. Perhaps, some Apple SW engineers can jump in here.
    Now, the bad part is iWeb has to (and I'm assuming iWeb uses WebDAV):
    1. go thru each file locally
    2. crawl its way into .Mac (WebDAV is a slow protocol) to find the the counter part.
    3. when it finds a file that matches a client side file, it has to (some how) do checksum on-the-fly across the net work (which is slow and congested)
    #3 is I think where it failed, there are many factors here: 1) networks congestion 2) latency 3) protocol overhead 4) checksum calculation time etc...
    iWeb eventually times out because any/all of the above.
    It's nice that WebDAV can author to the host yada, yada, but it's so SLOOOOOW.
    What I would do is for every publishing, I would build a files and their checksums keep it on the host (or local, must be hidden).
    For subsequence publishing, I would (use a fast protocol like FTP) download this pre-built files/checksums list. Locally, do a full publishing, making checksum comparison, the result is delta changes; upload only those. Build a new files/checksums list upload that too.
    What I mean to say is offload everything that is possible to local machine, bandwidth is PREMIUM!

  • Getting file descriptor counts as a non-root user

    I have a number of scripts running on Solaris 8 and Solaris 10 systems that currently run as root in order to read file descriptor counts from various processes. currently they do something like: ls /proc/$PID/fd | wc -l to get a count of file descriptors for a given process $PID.
    These scripts need to be migrated to run as a non-root user. This means that my method for obtaining file descriptors will only work if the script owner and process owner are the same - this is not always the case however.
    For Solaris 10, I can assign the privilege proc_owner to the script owner - this works fine.
    For Solaris 8 I'm stuck.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can read a file descriptor count from an arbitrary process as a non-root user on Solaris 8 ?
    Thanks,
    Nick

    For Solaris 8 I'm stuck.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can read a file descriptor count from an
    arbitrary process as a non-root user on Solaris 8 ?As I'm sure you suspect there isn't a way to get around the all privileges
    or none arrangement in Solaris 8. One workaround option though is the
    recently announced Solaris 8 Migration Assistant 1.0 which allows you to
    run a Solaris 8 container on Solaris 10 SPARC systems. A good collection
    of the relevant links are here:
    http://blogs.sun.com/dp/entry/solaris_8_migration_assistant_1
    With this option your Solaris 10 script process with the proc_owner
    privilege could also be run against the processes in the Solaris 8
    container.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
    Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
    If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

  • Using mms.cfg file to enable Autoupdate for non-Admin users

    I need help in getting this to work.  So far it does not.
    Adobe Flash for windows 17.0.0.23
    Windows 7 Enterprise  - 5000 systems
    Users are not administrators on systems.
    The Non admin user gets prompted with a screen ( we do not want any prompts)
    Then the install fails because they are not an administrator.
    My mms.cfg file:
    AutoUpdateDisable=0
    AutoUpdateInterval=1
    SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
    How do I use this or any other method to have Adobe Flash update automaticly for all users including non-admins
    and give no prompts?
    What are the next steps.  Is there an enterprise support site or method to use for mass distributions for Flash?
    Please Get back to me today before 12:00 EDT 13 Apr 2015.

    Hi garyp81126656,
    The current mms.cfg file configuration will perform either a notification update or a background update. There are a few options to update non-admin users:
    Host the background update resources locally.  When using the Adobe servers for background updates there is no way to disable notification updates.  By hosting the background update resources locally users will never be prompted to update.
    Disable updates and deploy Flash Player updates via SCUP, SMS, or Group Policy.
    You can find the various deployment options are listed in Chapter 3 of the Flash Player Administrator's Guide.  The Admin Guide also contains information to license Flash Player for distribution within your organization, which is a requirement for any of the deployment methods described in the Admin Guide.  Additional information is available at An outline of Flash Runtime installation options

  • Can OBIEE deliver reports to email addresses of non-OBIEE users?

    We are considering using OBIEE, but one of our requirements is to be able to schedule and deliver basic reports (Excel or PDF perhaps) via email to a relatively large number of recipients.
    When I say "relatively large number" - what I mean is: more recipients than we want to buy licenses for. These recipients would not need or be allowed access to anything other than the scheduled report that we send to them on a weekly or monthly basis, so it makes no sense for us to buy licenses for them.
    But from what I can find so far, OBIEE only delivers reports to licensed users.
    Is there in fact some way to schedule and email reports to any (non-user) email address from within OBIEE?
    Or would I need a separate third party solution to accomplish this? (Any suggestions would be appreciated!)
    Thanks!

    If you store the ppl in a table (basically any datasource you attack with the rpd), you create a request pulling up all the targeted user, then in the "Recipients" tab of the iBot, you can choose
    "Determine recipients from conditional request"
    Then you specify the "Column Containing Recipients".
