enter image description hereenter image description hereI have windows 10 running on VMWare Fusion on my MacBook pro. I've used it without problem for the past year then today in my class the screen just went black. I cant even see the mouse I scrolled my mouse to the top and was able to get the mac top task bar and was able to close out of the VM and it was suspended but it wont let me shut it down. Anyone know the process I need to take to do this? I know I could always shut the mac down and entirely and restart but don't want to risk damaging the windows image. any help would be appreciated.
Maybe this could work, I used it a few times as well.

I have a bug which is completely over the planet. IntellIJ doesn't display. It's on, yet doesn't display.
It worked well before, last thing I did was re-setting up new dependencies on my code and (nothing to do with that) re-setting SDK for other reasons, both of which shouldn't be linked to display properties.
As you can see it's working, I see the pop up windows:
But doesn't display:
Yet I can see IntelliJ windows with Shift + Tab:
and yes, my screen doesn't duplicate, so it's not hidden in another dimension or something
I tried:
restart computer
uninstall install IntelliJ
uninstall install IntelliJ without previous parameters
try other JetBrains software, like DataGrip, it works and displays well
call a homeopathic doctor
Unsuccessfully. So I knee and await before your judgement of this critical situation.
I have this exact same behavior happen to me when I use IntelliJ at work and then go home and try to use it via Remote Desktop. Its very strange (regardless of which monitor I leave it on at work when I leave).
If I hover over it in the task bar and then hover over the thumbnail for the running app, I can right click and tell it to maximize and it magically comes back into focus. Sometimes I have to tell it to restore and then to maximize before this works.
Occasionally even this doesn't work and I have to close it, re-open, and do the same. It makes no sense, so I understand your frustration.
It works
As John Humphreys - w00te mentionned, click right over the thumbnail (I insist: the thumbnail ! Not the taskbar icon) and then select maximize and voilà.
Bon appétit.
Thanks for your contribution and I hope it will help some people in need here.
I have had this issue when I have moved from a dual monitor setup to a single monitor setup or a different dual monitor set up. The issue here that intellij window seems to save and use the coordinates of the last dual window setup to render the window. It doesn't matter you restart your computer, it will always try and render to that position, even if that position is not visible on the new monitor set up. On windows there is an easy way to fix this issue. Go to your display setting and flip the order of the windows. The intellij window should now be visible. you can drag the window to the your other monitor and re-arrange the windows back to the order you had previously. After that, you can place the intellij window wherever you want.
In my case I noticed there is a 1 pixel thick gray line on my screen, turns out that was the IDEA window and I could resize upon hovering that line. Needless to say it wasn't me shrinking it.
I have this same behavior, It happens to me when I connect a monitor in extended mode and move the intellij window to the monitor, then disconnect without moving it back. No other solution other than to connect to monitor again and bring it back to the original window for me works.
On mac, select the app from the app tray so that the menu for it appears up top. Then on the menu up top, go to Windows->Zoom and it should expand to fill the viewport.
From there you can drag it down to size and reposition.
We have a fairly large AIR desktop application (captive AIR, using Runtime version 21).
Recently our QA have confirmed and reproduced an odd report by a Mac user:
When the app is in full screen, running on OS X High Sierra, then some clicks on the main user interface go through to whatever application is running behind the window. Whatever background window has been clicked, it will jump to the front and the click is processed, e.g. if the click was sent to a Finder window and happened to be in the location of a favorites folder, that folder will be opened as if you clicked it when the Finder window was open.
If no window is behind our app at the click location, the desktop will receive focus.
This is not consistent and even clicks in the same spot (as much as one can hit the same pixel twice) sometimes go to the background window and sometimes end up, as expected, in our window.
I know that this sound weird but it's been verified both by our QA and by me and another developer working on different machines.
Ideas would be most welcome.
Answering my own question after some trial and error:
Upgrading to AIR SDK 28 solved the problem.
Bonus tip: Avoid Adobe AIR. Great technology, zero support, dead forums.
This is on Ubuntu. I have two xsessions, one on tty7 (display :0) and one on tty8 (display :1). For the record, :0 is Unity and :1 is Fluxbox. I would like to be able to take a screenshot on display :1 while working on display :0.
I'm using the Java Robot class. I've written a small screen scraping bot. The mouse movements work when I'm switched to the other virtual terminal, but the screengrabs are coming out all black (the bot has no image to act on).
I'm spawning the second xsession with:
startx /usr/bin/fluxbox -- :1
Is there a way to make the screenshots work? Is there a workaround for keeping the display active (remote desktop to it?)? Would someone be kind enough to explain why these go black when the virtual terminal is not focused?
I'm looking for the least intensive way to have a second display, mouse, and keyboard running. The path of least resistance would be a way to keep the display active when not focused.
Thanks! Sorry if any of my terminology is off, new to using a second virtual terminal.
You get a black image simply because the image you want to capture does not exist anywhere.
When a virtual terminal is active, each program that is on your display will generate its own image, and the image gets put into the video memory. When the virtual terminal is not active, the programs do not generate their image (since it would be superfluous), nothing stores those images, so you cannot capture them.
I can't get WinPhone 7 SDK update v7.1.1 to install. It freezes my computer everytime I try to install, the mouse still work but after a while whole system locked up and I need to hold power button to turn it off. Looked at task manager and look like it freeze when configure the emulator. Tried several time, even reinstall Windows and still no luck. Anyone know a work around on this? I saw some others faced this problem but no solution.
When it freezes (in particular, when the spinning icon freezes), try hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del once. Two things can happen:
The first is that the machine will completely freeze within a minute or two, which will require a hard reboot.
The second is that the screen will flicker quickly, attempting to show the "Lock/Switch user/Sign out/Change password/Task manager" screen, and then will jump back to the setup screen. You'll then see the progress icon start spinning again, but it will hesitate several more times. It will either freeze the machine again (and if so, do a hard reboot and try again), or setup will eventually complete (which on my machine took no longer than 10 minutes).
If you have seen a Dell XPS in actions you probably have noticed its nice media buttons above the normal keyboard:
alt text http://blog.evolvedsoftwarestudios.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/img-1397.jpg
They are flashing when the notebook is starting and when you touch them.
Does anybody know how to make these buttons flash programmatically?
I had an old IBM laptop that had a keyboard light LED mounted in the top of the LCD frame (where the iSight is on a MacBook or MacBook Pro). I found that I could access this light via /proc/acpi under Linux.
I wrote a simple script that flashed the light on and off by interacting with /proc. There's a posting on my blog with the code.
You might want to try running an Ubuntu live CD and seeing if it detects the buttons, and if you can access them via /proc. A quick search showed that the newer XPS systems work out of the box with Ubuntu, so it'd be a good starting point.
