New Thunar doesn't work with Launchy, Chromium

After installing the new XFCE 4.8, the new Thunar now doesn't work with Launchy, or Chromium. I haven't tried any other GUI programs that launch the file manager (Gnome-Do, Docks etc), but the only way to launchy Thunar now is via the XFCE Panel, or the desktop (via XFCE programs themselves, in essence).
I've tested this, and opening a normal folder or file with Launchy means nothing happens. I'm guessing that Launchy is using Thunar here to launch the folder/file, and it's not working. For some reason though, I can launch in /usr/bin, which I'm guessing might be because Launchy doesn't use Thunar for that (only guesses though)? Meanwhile, Chromium downloads can't be opened, and the directory that contains the download can't be opened either. When I click the button that launches the download, or opens the directory containing the download, nothing happens.
I have tried reinstalling Launchy and Thunar, to no avail. I haven't tried downgrading Thunar, but that's a process I'd rather not go through.

Hi!
I don't know Launchy, but Chromium use xdg-open script for figure out which DE (Desktop Environment) is running and then, launch the properly file manager. With the new version of XFCE, this script doesn't detect XFCE and consider a generic DE. There are many solutions, but I just modified the xdg-open script (/usr/bin/xdg-open) and replaced the line:
elif xprop -root _DT_SAVE_MODE 2> /dev/null | grep ' = \"xfce4\"$' >/dev/null 2>&1; then DE=xfce;
by a more logical line:
elif [ "$DESKTOP_SESSION" = "xfce" ]; then DE=xfce;
. It isn't the best solution because will be a new update for xdg scripts, I guess.
For Launchy, you can launch it in a terminal and see if say some kind of error, like Chromium did.
Cheers!

My new RAM doesn't work with my iMac.

Hello,
I bought new RAM 4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM to installed in my iMac 3.4 GHz intel core i7, osx lion.
I try to installed it alone without original RAM (2GB * 2 pcs) installed to check how it works.
After press start button, there are 3 beep sounds and iMac won't start.
I try to reset PRAM follow the instruction, but it won't work. Because there are 3 beep sounds alarm immediately after press start.
Does my RAM have a problem?

My iMac has 4 memory slots and I try to installed one by leave 3 slots empty.
By the way this is the 2nd ram I purchased from OWC with same spec as the last one (also same as link above) but different in purchase date (about 2 weeks different).
So now I have 2 GB *2 pcs (come with iMac) and 4GB * 2 pcs from OWC.
So I'm quit sure that this ram is compatible with my iMac because the first one is work.
But I have some notice,
For the 1st RAM I bought from OWC (4GB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMM), when first installation it also didn't work. I can't start iMac. And after 2 weeks, I try to installed it to my iMac again, now it can operate as normal. What do you think about it?

New mic doesn't work with GB

I just got a Sterling Audio ST55 mic and am plugged into an M-Audio Mobile Pre USB interface. However, I'm not getting any sound coming into GarageBand. I've tried: switching the cable; switching the input; and Phantom on (and off). I also tried the mic in a guitar amp and it worked. Also, my Sennheiser stage mic DOES come through (but maybe a little weak) when plugged into the interface. I'm not sure what else to try. Any advice?

Mics, interfaces and computers all speak basically the same language this is standard over all brands. The fact that the light on the interface is not lighting indicates the signal from the mic is not getting to the interface or for some reason the interface can not boost the signal to a usable level.
Condenser mic need to be powered to work and usually provide a strong signal. If the mic is working as it should and the cable is wired correctly (needs to carry the 48v to the correct pins) then maybe the interface is at fault.

New airport express doesn't work with Nintendo DS

I just picked up a new Airport Express. The WEP setting doesn't seem to be standard. Instead it is this Transitional Security Network that doesn't work with the Nintendo DS or the Netgear WG511T card I have. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
15" MacBook Pro 2.16GHz Mac OS X (10.4.9) 7200 RPM HD

yeah, the DS just ***** like that. Nintendo should have given it firmware upgradability.

SessionManager doesn't work with new xerceimpl.jar?

Hi,
Does anybody know the solution to the problem below?
The toplink sessionmanager, which loads sessions.xml for database session pooling, doesn't work with new xerce parser(xerceimpl.jar). It is tieing to old xerces.jar parser, which has been upgraded to have more functions.
Thank you in advance.
Praveen

Hi Raanan,
It works with old xerces.jar. But in-order to get new functions from new xerces jars from apache, I got xml-apis.jar, xercesImp.jar. They got modified from old ones. So this is breaking toplink sessions.xml load to work.
Did you face this problem?
Thanks
Praveen

HT204053 I changed my AppleID in System Preferences, but the old ID comes up under iCloud and I get an error box saying my "ID or password are incorrect". How do I get rid of the old ID which now doesn't work with either my old or new password??

I changed my AppleID in System Preferences, but the old ID comes up under iCloud and I get an error box saying my "ID or password are incorrect". How do I get rid of the old ID which now doesn't work with either my old or new password??

Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

IPod Stuff doesn't work with my new iPhone

I finally sprung for the iPhone three weeks ago and I love it. But I think I'm going to have to buy more new stuff. Neither set of my portable speakers that I use with my iPod (5th gen. video) work with the iPhone. When I put the iPhone in the dock, I get some message about Airplane Mode. Music does play through the speakers, but they won't charge the iPhone. When I put the iPhone on its own charger and tried to use the auxiliary input on the speakers, there was only silence.
Do I need a special cable or something?
Also, my car charger for the iPod doesn't work with the iPhone.
Am I going to have to spring for another set of portable speakers? I've read that the Pure-Fi is compatible with iPhone.
Thanks!

Both my mini and my video iPod were USB -- not Firewire.
Both your Mini and your iPod with video synced via USB and charged via USB when connected to your Mac, but they also support charging via Firewire and most of the older 3rd party devices charged iPods via Firewire - your iPods include firewire pins in the connector for charging via firewire.
The first generation iPhone also syncs and charges via USB when connected to a computer, and the first generation iPhone also includes firewire pins for charging via firewire also, as your iPods include. The first generation iPhone does not support syncing via Firewire, but it does support charging via Firewire.
Apple removed the firepins from the iPhone 3G connector as they have done with all new iPods released after a certain date and for all new iPods to be released in the future. 3rd party device manufacturers were made aware of this so all new 3rd party devices must support charging via USB only or include charging via USB in addition to charging via Firewire if a new device is to be backwards compatible with older iPods.

Publish for Approval - the new plug-in - doesn't work with Leopard

This aperture plug-in arrived for download just a few days before Leopard arrived. It worked great with Tiger. It doesn't work at all with Leopard. It appears that Leopard comes with a new version of Apache Server and it doesn't work with the Publish for Approval plugin. Does anyone know if and when an update will be released?

I'm not seeing the Java plugin in the plugins list in the System Details list.

Media Encoder CS4 doesn't work with Premiere (pic related)

Oh hai!
I just got Adobe Master Collection CS4 and my Media Encoder doesn't work with Premiere CS4. When I try to export the file, Encoder starts normally. Then I click "Start queue" and Encoder starts loading. Loading takes almost five minutes, which is a long time, because my project is very simple. After that nothing happens, just a warning sign appears. When I click it open, some kind of log file open and it says:
Encoding failed
Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted.
And I didn't deleted anything. So what does that mean? Why that "Source Name's" path is different than my project files path? Can this problem relate that somehow?
I have also another problem with Premiere CS4, maybe there's a link between these two problems. I can't get Premiere projects linked to open in Premiere CS4. When I right-click the project icon, and click “Open with…”, I can't find Premiere from the list. When I click "Browse", I can find Premiere.exe from my computer, but if i doubel-clicked it, nothing happens. It won't appear to the list or anywhere else. Or have I missed something? So now the project files are linked to open in After Effects. Of course I can open projects from Premiere, but how do I get them open straight from file?
I have long experience using Adobe Premiere and this is the first time I got this kind of problems. I have also downloaded new updates for Premiere and Encoder, this didn't help. Does that matter, that I didn't installed Premiere in C-drive? However it's in my computers internal drive, I have divided my hard drive for five parts, one part contains all of my softwares. My scratch disks are in different hard drive (external), does that matter? I tried different location, but that didn't help.
Please help, I can't do any video editing, because of this problem. And sorry for my english, ask if you didn't understand something. =)

Hello, this is terrible problem, which i found in CS 6 softwares ...
solution i found only working, is uninstall and reinstall full package.. but it is not all,
you need to do BRAND NEW admin account in windows, and install it there.
that means, i could not export after repair from encoder in my original account never more (!!)   .. this is really terrible way how to repair this issue, because :
1.by reinstalling of software, client WASTE HIS TIME
2.by necessity to begin work in another windows profile you again WASTE YOUR TIME because of learning and migrating all other profile modifications, which i see really unaccpetable. Adobe means, this solution of repair is ok, and they did not do till today any steps of creating some "clever" solution.
I ask everybody, who will meet this issue in future, guys, please, complain about this situation, give "BUG Report" to them, and write "feature request" to them , in the way of creating some repair tool, which check actual "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode, and REPAIR it automatically..
   I am not IT, but ..does it seems so hard to create this ? Adobe IT developers should know their systems, and should create such utility tool really easy.
History of this problem and detailed description, HOW i did "repair" this. With wasting of app 2,5 days of my working time :
1. after repairing "error 5" problem , i solved it by reinstalling the suite from the new admin user profile (profile B) .
I continued my work on my normal working windows profile . (profile A)
Every cooperation (AE+Pr, export media via "queue" to Encoder) was working fine . . .
2. suddenly it stop working (without knowing any possible reason - i did not do installations )
and showed in error export log file :
"Could not read from the source. Please check if it has moved or been deleted."
3.repair via procedure(procedure "a"):
i did this procedure on the profile B (profile from last time installation of repairing problem error 5)
I did these steps :
a-uninstall master coll suite
b-i used Adobe cleaner tool (remove ALL)
c-removed raw directories in locations
•C:\Program Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe
•C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe
•C:\ProgramData\Adobe
d-removed these links from registry file
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
•HKEY_LOCAL_MACH INE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Adobe
•HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Software\Wow6432Node\Adobe
e-restarted the PC
f- newly installed the Master Coll CS6
g-update the software
result of repair of "3" : problem still exists
4.Ok i find out after coordination with support, it should have been created ANOTHER NEW admin account.
4a:so i did the same procedure (uninstalling) in profile B
4b: and then i created brand new admin profile (profile C)for INSTALLATION of software
4c: restarted the pc (and did not updated it yet)
result :
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile C) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile B) : export WORKS
==exporting of any sequence/raw/AE link video material from premiere via "queue" (Encoder) (profile A) : export DOES NOT WORK ! ! !
(in profile A, is possible to export some raw video material in encoder which is imported to it via "drag and drop)
problem i see:, i have my basic profile A, which i am interested to work, because of all my directory modifications are in there..
this issue should be some "broken" connections between encoder and premiere, which refuses to "take material" from it and encode.
what i expect :
to get from Adobe some repair tool, which automatically checks these connections and repair if necessary, without necessity of founding the new profile and reinstallation of whole software.. this is madness !
what i do NOT expect from Adobe:
to get from Adobe advice of kind : you have to reinstall full software in new admin profile. sorry , we do not know the solution, because we do not know, how do behave our software.

New Version Doesn't Work On ESPN

All I get is the black box on most of espn.com. The problem started when I downloaded the new version. I can watch video on most sites; but the screen simply stays black, with no arrows or control bar at the bottom (play, volume, etc.) on espn.com and a couple of others. I've tried most of the "fixes" I've found, to no avail. I'm using FP version 10.3.181.34 and IE 8 with Windows 7 on a laptop. I've uninstalled and reinstalled, and it still doesn't work. I don't have any adblock software, and I've tried it with a pop-up blocker on and off, and it still doesn't work. I've tried it with hardware acceleration enabled and disabled, and it still doesn't work. I've increased and decreased my security settings to every available level and tried it, and it still doesn't work.
Hard to believe this is an improvement. Now I can't remember what my old version was, or I'd just go back to it... it worked with everything on every site.

Perhaps to somebody who spends most of their time on a computer, and makes it their business to know how to do all these things, it isn't jumping through hoops. For someone with no time and less patience for such tasks, and who expects a computer company and its hardware and software manufacturers to automatically provide working updates for the equipment they paid good money for, it is a burden. I have spent hours trying to either update that driver or find out why it's a bad idea to do so. I happen to believe them when they advise against it, and suggest it could have other negative effects on other aspects of the system. Not only do I believe it, it's happened to me on more than one occasion over the years; so I'm understandably hesitant to discard the advice of the manufacturer and give it a try on my own.
I updated all my drivers from the Dell driver update utility; and like the Intel site said, there isn't an updated one for my adapter. So, my choices appear to be, try the driver that isn't necessarily designed for my system, and hope for the best; or just uninstall the new version of FP, and reinstall the previous version that worked just fine. Because I'm not savvy enough to undo any potentially disastrous consequences from using the wrong driver, I'm leaning toward the latter resolution. I'm also having a tough time understanding how that single driver update is going to make my FP finally work for only the ESPN site. As I said, with the current driver, it works on virtually every other site, and the old version of FP, with the current driver, worked on every site, bar none. So, essentially I'd be installing a whole new driver that may or may not make my FP work on a single site. See what I'm getting at? It doesn't seem plausible that the driver was designed for the sole purpose of making one application work on a single site. Thanks for all the assistance; I appreciate everyone who devoted so much time to my issue.

Installing a simple driver update is "jumping though the hoops"...? I don't know why the Intel utility gave you that strange message; another easy way to update your outdated drivers is http://drivermax.com/ - the free version allows up to two driver downloads per day.
