... several questionable issues ...

Hello everyone,
Issue 1 - Is there a search function to narrow the 12000 topics to handful I can manage?
Issue 2 - Is LightRoom a better (faster, more specific with metadata, and speedier) than Bridge for a cataloging/browsing tool?
Issue 3 - In LR, we've discovered we can catalog audio interviews by using the .wav files and giving them the same name as the image of the person being interviewed. (JimmyPic01.tif is paired with JimmyPic01.wav, JimmyPic02.tif is paired with JimmyPic02.wav - we give the image the metadata about the date and time of the interview, etc.) Now, is there a limit to the size of the .wav file associated with an image? Will our researchers be able to click on the .wav file and listen to the entire interview? Is it possible to alter the program used to open the .wav files in order to permit fast forward and replay functions? Does the audio player in LR permit those functions?
Issue 4 - Does Adobe build a catalog package with the elegance of LR (pleasant-looking interfaces and speedy searches) and the simplicity and power of Bridge (catalog audio, video, and documents)? Does LR permit the creation of metadata fields as easily as Bridge?
I guess many of these questions will get answered if I simply install a copy and play a while. . .?
Okay . . . I'm off to see the download wizard. . .
I'll come back and let everyone know what I find as well as see who contributes to my quest. . . (grin)
Until that time. . . Earl J.

Hello Wolf,
Horace Walpole once stated
The whole [Scotch] nation hitherto has been void of wit and humour, and even incapable of relishing it.
So, perhaps this Lightroom forum is more like Scotland than is evident at first glance... (grin) I'm not familiar with the source of your quote... most professionals don't get that status until they have practiced their craft for many years... so, consider me a
professional-in-training ... or
amateur, if you like.
Yet, another misunderstanding on the readers' part... I am fully aware that my comments here on the forum would draw as much attention from Adobe to ban me than my opinions on global warming would attract the attention of the new administration in DC... I was addressing the three initial responders to my original post and inviting them to do what they will to avoid my intrusions.
My questionable issues revolved around issues of the program which caused me to ask questions for further clarification - there were never any
objectionable issues raised... simply a few questionable ones.
I have no intention of letting anyone drive me away while my curiosity for the program is still fresh and vibrant. I'll continue to be me and will permit others to be who they are ... I have no expectations about any aspect of these forums except that most subscribers come here 1 -
to learn and 2 -
to help. Finding and making friends might be an ancillary benefit, but for the most part, I would suspect not a primary objective.
I base my knowledge on forum, email distribution list, and listserv memberships as the creator/moderator of a librarian forum that has recently moved past its decade-old mark... and the current host of several social networks.
So, although I am new to
this forum, I am not new to participating in them. I can appreciate the fact that many may not, and will not, accept my approaches to bulletin boards and email interactions; however, it's a big forum, and I am not required, or inclined, to follow any personal preference demands, content restrictions, or behavioral limitations of anyone outside the Terms of Use.
So, I'll do the best I can at adjusting and adapting in order to get help and give help - but for those who demand the rest of us adjust to their expectations and behavioral norms, they'll have to do a bit of adjusting and adapting themselves ... if nothing else, just to demonstrate they
can do something that they demand of others.
@Wolf, thanks for the advice and the encouragement ... I will consider it seriously.
Thanks for taking the time to respond and compose such a considerate response... I'm a retired Army paratrooper, so
bail out has such a negative connotation to me - even before the economic crisis began - so I'm not about to leave until all the questions I have are answered.
Until that time. . . Earl J.

Several questions/issues...

Okay, so I finally found a HD with OS 9.1 (it was in another computer this whole time) and now I want to install Tiger on it. I have several other questions as well...
First, I would like to connect my Mac to the internet so I can install updates, etc (using an Ethernet cord and DSL). When I go to the help and type in internet connection, it lists steps for me to try. At the bottom it says "open the internet setup assistant for me." When I click on the link, it gives me an error, saying "This item cannot be opened. It is either disabled or not installed." How do I enable it or reinstall it?
Secondly, I would like to make a copy of the entire hard disk onto another hard drive, that way, if I corrupt files on the installation, I have another hard drive I can work off of. What is a program that I can use that makes an exact copy of the hard drive? It also needs to work with Mac OS 9.
Thirdly, the back of my G3 B/W Mac says that it has a 400 MHz processor, which is strange because in the "about this Mac" option on the menu, it says that the Mac is a 300 MHz G3. Is OS 9 being tricked into thinking that this is a slower PC? Is the motherboard not the original and it has been simply swapped out? How can I tell?
Lastly, eventually after I back up the HD, I would like to install OS X Tiger (because Leopard can't run on G3s). I believe I have an upgrade CD, but I'm not sure, but it's a number of CDs, not a DVD. When I try to run it, it comes up with the CD contents and I click on Install OS X. The gigantic X pops up and it tells me to install it, I have to click restart to restart the system. When I hit restart, it gives me an error, saying "Error. Startup Disk was unable to select the Install CD as the startup disk(-2)." I think the problem is that my CD drive is not in the right boot order or something, and its throwing the Mac off. How do I fix this? Or is it my Tiger CD? Or, am I supposed to upgrade to Jaguar, Panther, and then Tiger? Or do I even have an upgrade CD, and it's the full install?

RE: Internet -
How you configure DSL depends mainly on whether you have a Router that you can configure.
Case 1 -- No Router: your ISP likely provides a connection for a single computer. If you are actively using that computer, you will not have room for an additional computer. If you were given a Username and Password, that is likely to require PPPoE, which is not supported under Mac OS 9 without a "Helper" application, such as MacPoet, to establish and maintain the connection.
If you are lucky, you can substitute your Mac for your other computer. You will need to enter the ISP-supplied "Magic Numbers". IP Address Manual and the address they gave you. Subnet mask is often 255.255.255.0 and Router Address: the address they gave you. The Domain Name Server (DNS) IP addresses, typically two, should both be entered in the large field for that parameter. The rest can usually be left blank.
Case 2 -- Router you can configure: The Router will act as your agent on the Internet, forward packets on your behalf, and protects you from abuse from the Internet by hiding your IP Addresses, while keeping track of the details for you. If you need a Username and Password, you set the Router up to deal with that, and no other Computers need to be bothered. You configure the Router with the 'Magic Numbers" provided by your ISP, and each computer is setup more simply.
The Router will pass out local IP Addresses to each local computer using DHCP, so set IP Address: Using DHCP and most other fields will be "supplied by Router".
In every case:
In OS 9, you MUST close the TCP/IP Control Panel and Save Changes to have them take effect.
Then open a Browser window and put 17.149.160.49 on the url address line. If you get Apple, Inc web site, you are almost there. then try Apple.com -- it that gets you Apple, Inc you are done.
If not, open the TCP/IP Control Panel again and see what IP Address you have. 168.254.xxx.yyy means you are talking only to yourself.

Several unrelated issues

I have several unrelated issues.
1) My computer recently started failing to startup. It flashes an image of a globe, and then an image of a finder folder alternated with a questionmark, and then, if I'm lucky, proceeds to normal start up. What is going on? How can I fix this?
2) My computer has started making noise when it is not doing very much. It makes the noise as if it is busy/overloaded, but it does it even when only one page in safari is open (no other applications are opened).
3) My computer has been very slow since my installation of VirusBarrier x4. It usually operates at normal speeds, but sometimes (even when virus barrier is not running) it moves slowly and loads pages in safari at an extremely low pace. Also, when sending files/folders through iChat, the transfer is rapid, but when receiving files/folders, it is excruciatingly slow and often fails. Is there any way that I can clear some memory? I definitely have plenty of memory left as this computer was purchased this past summer.
4) My battery is having trouble charging/staying charged. I have heard that re-calibrating may help, but so far it has proved unsuccessful. The battery often jumps from being very charged to less charged to very charged again without being plugged in nor used very much.
Is anyone having similar issues? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Below are some answers/suggestions to help fix your issues:
1)
Question:
My computer recently started failing to startup. It flashes an image of a globe, and then an image of a finder folder alternated with a questionmark, and then, if I'm lucky, proceeds to normal start up. What is going on? How can I fix this?
Answer:
When you start up your PowerBook and see the image of a globe, that means that your Startup Disk is set to "Network Startup" in System Preferences. To stop this from happening, simply open System Preferences and click Startup Disk, then select "Mac OS X, 10.4.5 on Macintosh HD" and restart. The system folder icon with a flashing ? means that the computer is trying to start up, but cannot (When you change the start up disk, the system folder icon with a flashing ? will no longer be seen).
2)
Question:
My computer has started making noise when it is not doing very much. It makes the noise as if it is busy/overloaded, but it does it even when only one page in safari is open (no other applications are opened).
Answer:
Well, it is hard to figure this one out because I would need to know what kind of noise you were hearing (Humming, whine, click, buzz, etc.). If you have a disk in the drive, that could be causing a noise when it is read. Also, do you hear the noise when you are using battery power or connected to the power adapter?
3)
Question:
My computer has been very slow since my installation of VirusBarrier x4. It usually operates at normal speeds, but sometimes (even when virus barrier is not running) it moves slowly and loads pages in safari at an extremely low pace. Also, when sending files/folders through iChat, the transfer is rapid, but when receiving files/folders, it is excruciatingly slow and often fails. Is there any way that I can clear some memory? I definitely have plenty of memory left as this computer was purchased this past summer.
Answer:
The first thing you can do is trash all of the system caches (Macintosh HD > Library > Caches) and restart. The next thing you can try is to trash all of the caches in your home (Home Folder > Library > Caches), then log out and back in. If both of those do not work, then I would uninstall Virus Barrier x4 and see if that increases speed. If you do uninstall and it makes a difference, then that is what is causing the issue. If it remains the same, state so in your reply.
4)
Question:
My battery is having trouble charging/staying charged. I have heard that re-calibrating may help, but so far it has proved unsuccessful. The battery often jumps from being very charged to less charged to very charged again without being plugged in nor used very much.
Answer:
First of all, have you properly installed Battery Update 1.1? Next, the battery will last longer on a charge if you turn things off such as AirPort and/or Bluetooth. They both use a good portion of the battery when they are in use. Also, try configuring your Energy Saver (System Preferences) differently and see if it helps. Also, the battery will not last forever and I am not sure how much use your PowerBook gets, but but it will eventually need to be replaced.
I am actually not having any of the above issues, but I hope that you get them all fixed. I wish you the best of luck and if you have any questions about anything above, I would be glad to reply back with an answer.

Several Questions: Airport Extreme, Wireless Internet, AOL

I have several questions...
First does anyone know which printer brands/models are compatable with the new Airport Extreme?
Second, I recently made the switch from PC to Mac and the first time I tried to connect wirelessly to the internet, it was unsuccessful. If I wish to connect to a non Mac server, is there a special setting airport must be on?
Third, My AOL browser is going much slower then Safari and it has gotton progressivly worse! I can't even use instant messanger and it takes forever to surf the web. However, ichat and safari work just fine and my other windows computer has no problem with AOL. Is there an explanation for this?
Thanks... Answer which ever questions you know the answer to!

Suggestions from MacFixit for Fixing Airport Woes
- Try changing the wireless specification mode used by your router (or base station). Try switching from 802.11g to 802.11b, for instance.
- Disabling coconutWiFi-- an application displays you a small aqua-bubble at the top of your screen which indicates whether you're in range of a wireless network or not -- may resolve an issue where AirPort connections toggle between normal speed and dismal speed.
- Delete all stored wireless networks from the Preferred networks list, then add back any used networks via the following process:
Open System Preferences
Go to the "Network' pane
Select "AirPort" from the "Show:" menu
Click on the "AirPort" tab
Select "Preferred networks" from the "By default, join:" menu
Delete any networks from the list (using the "-" button) that you do not regularly use
Click the "Apply Now" button
- Reset the PMU.
- Turn off the Mac OS X Firewall (in the Sharing pane of System Preferences) resolved the issues in his case.
- In some cases, deleting the AirPort preferences can resolve the issue:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
Finally, AOL. AOL's application is a PPC-only application so it must run in the Rosetta emulation on an Intel Mac. This consumes additional RAM and CPU resources and causes PPC apps to run slower (aside from the fact that AOL is painfully slow anyway.) The problem will seem aggravated even more if you have less than 2 GBs of RAM installed. I recommend not using AOL. If they are your ISP you might consider getting a different one. You have Safari which is a far superior browser.

Several Questions: Urgent

Hi,
I have several questions I need answers to. And I've got someone waiting on this DVD, and I need to finish it tonight for various reasons. So quick answers would be VERY appreciated ^_^
First (and main) question: My project is currently to big to fit on a normal disc. I go to prefs to set size to dual-layer, yet it remains grayed out and I can't select it. Why might this be? I use an external burner if that makes any difference.
2nd question: I tried to just save the project as a disc image (didn't work, I assume it has to be set to dual-layer capacity to even to that). But I got rid of some footage, giving the project space to fit on a normal DVD. I try to save as image again, and I get the error saying "There seems to be too much motion menu content in your project".
I get info and see that I have somehow 27:06 minutes of content as menus and theres only a max of 7:30.
How do I have that much content there? I have 4 menus, the main (with a 30 second clip), the movies menu with options to go to chapter select (same clip), and then to pages of chapters (with quick audio clip). How does that translate to 27:06? Any ideas?
Thats about it, I need it dual-layer size, and figure out the menu space issue.
Please help!
Thanks ^_^

if iDVD6 and system profiler cannot see the ext. FW burner then your mac won't allow you to burn nor create a DL Disc image....
Power down the burner. Now make sure the fw cable fits snuggly to your mac & the opposite end to the burner. Restart the mac. Now power up the ext. burner. Play any completed iDVD or commercial dvd and allow it to mount on the desktop. Now use the DVD Player app to play the dvd. Works? Great! ..... Now hit the eject. Quit DVD Player. Launch iDVD6 and you should be set to go. If not, post back.
Btw ... Make sure to select DL in iDVD's preferences if you wish to burn to that particular media.

HP PhotoSmart 7510 suddenly has severe connectivity issues

I have a HP PhotoSmart 7510 printer since about 2 months. Initial setup worked like a charm and the printer has been working pretty much perfectly for the last 2 months. Wireless printing, scanning and internet access on the printer (e.g. for Facebook photos) all worked. Just from time to time i would get the occasional (mildly annoying) message on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable" but it usually worked itself out and whenever I needed it to work, it did work.
But since a few days ago, it has some severe connectivity issues. I didn't change any settings on the printer, router or computer - the issues just started appearing by themselves. I startet getting much more frequent messages on my computer saying "scan to computer is currently unavailable". I noticed I couldn't print anymore, and restarting computer, printer and/or router didn't help at all. The only thing so far i managed to print wirelessly since the problems started were the first 5 pixel rows of an image I tried to print, the rest didn't transmit.
It seems the printer still connects to the WLAN but printing and scanning no longer work, and whenever I try to access a web service on the printer (like Facebook) it says it has no internet connection, even though the WLAN light is lit up (not blinking) and all the wireless status reports say "congratulations, no problems found" and display IPs etc. just like normal.
I looked at the threads "PhotoSmart 7510 connects to router, but not to the web.", "Wireless printer (HP Photosmart 7510) not connecting to network" and "Photosmart 7510 won't connect to Web Services" but they weren't a big help. Activating EWS didn't work because even though the printer showed its IP address to be 192.168.1.3, when I entered this in my web browser it didn't find the printers configuration page.
I tried the following steps from one of the threads:
1. Restore the Network defaults
2. Unplug the printers power cord while it is still on. Leave it unplugged and walk to the router.
3. While the router is still on, unplug the power cord from the router, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cord to the router. Once plugged back in the router should power on automatically.
4. Plug the power cord back into the printer. Once plugged back in the printer should power on automatically.
5. Run the Wireless Setup Wizard to reconnect the printer to your wireless network.
6. Try enabling Web Services.
I followed these steps exactly. Interestingly, even though I had done step 1 and restored the network settings to factory defaults, after turning back on, the printer somehow still had its old settings saved and reconnected to the network.
It seemed to have fixed the problem, the printer finally had internet access again (Facebook app showed my photos) and scan to computer found my PC. But after just about 3 minutes, the printer had lost its internet connectivity again. When opening the Facebook app, it displayed the same error message it did before. And printing no longer worked as well.
So, what is wrong with this printer?! It has the newest software update by the way (I checked during the 3 minutes it had internet access.) My computer is a HP Windows 7 x64 machine (EliteBook 6930p) and the router I'm using is a Netgear WNDR3700.
I specifically bought this printer for my studies at university. In one week i have my exams and in order to study I REALLY need to be able to print some of my course materials! So any help as quickly as possible would be greatly appreciated. Or do you think this is a case for a warranty replacement, considering the printer's really strange and error-prone behavior?
Thanks a lot!

I can assure you that it is not a router issue. It appears to me that it is a driver compatibility with Windows OS. After trying to get to the bottom of this since my Photosmart 7525 was new and reading just about every forum and blog, I have come to the conclusion that the issue must be related to the HP driver itself.
The issue does not seem to affect any Mac systems, and from one forum someone was able to fix it by downloading new drivers compatible with 64-bit systems (which seem to not be affected by the glitch). But that leaves us 32-bit people stuck with the current driver which does not work.
The printer is connected with good signal to the wireless router (no matter who's router it is and what configuration is made). The printer can be pinged from the router and any computer on the network which is not currently being affected by this issue. However, the affected computer fails pings by either request timed out, or destination host unreachable. Pings are successful from the affected computer to any other device on the network. The only way to recover (at least for a few days) is to reboot the affected computer.
Also, from the display on the 7525, the network tests pass without issue. I can also download and print content from the internet with no issues.
Please do a quick google search of this issue and you will see several THOUSAND entries of people with the same request. This is a serious issue that people are having and everything is pointing to an HP problem (not routers, improper installation of software or drivers, etc...). I agree with several other customers that HP should be on the hook for this fix. I will give it another couple weeks, then back to the store for a reliable unit from another competitor (Canon, Lexmark, etc..)
Thank you in advance for escalating this issue to product engineering,
S. Hunn

You could set it up so that the user never has to press "commit" button by modifying the "update" and "delete" event within "DataHandlerComponent.jsp" which will commit on all updates and deletes. This will also commit the "inserts" as the insert process will take you the the update page anyway.

Multi Select Choice on af:query has severe performance issue

Multi-select choice used with af:query through a view criteria is causing severe performance issue on deselection of "All" checkbox, if the data in the list is around 550 rows. The same component works absolutely fine when used in a form layout.
I can provide you a re-producible test case, if anyone needs it!
***: This is a customer environment issue, and customer is eager to have multi-select in this case. Appreciate any help!

Several questions on Fireworks from absolute beginner

Hello!
At the moment I'm in the very beginning of web-designing process and I've been using Fireworks trial for several days only. Before that I've created only one website in Joomla! and that's all. I've got several questions and I would be glad if masters of Fireworks will post full answers on them.
I've read the official manual, but didn't check any additional materials, because I feel better when learning myself with help in form of answers to concrete questions.
Here is how I see process of making simple website in Fireworks: draw website and then make it to work. I did first part and I've prepared my website. It of course looks ugly, but I want to start from it, as I'm learning. Here it is:
Okay, what is the next thing I should do? Right, I should slice it. And here goes the question: how should I slice my menu? I want it to be simple menu, so when you move mouse over "About me" it lightens in some other color and some content should appear in right part of this structure. How would I implement it using Fireworks? Then in what format should I export my webpage? HTML and CSS? How do I write styles in CSS through Fireworks? And final question is how can I make my website be in center of page (I've tried to add <center></center> inside "index.htm" file, but no luck)? I would also like to know what do I need to do with all images so you can't select them with mouse and move all around in your browser? How do I stick them:
Thanks and sorry for too many questions at one time,
Aleks.

Looking at your mockup, that navbar could probably be created
completely using CSS and HTML, rather than slice up the "button areas"
but if you want to go that route, I'd recommend creating button
symbols. The slicing is done for you and you can create up to four
states for the button.
If you want to export the graphics only, choose File > Export.
Browse to your site folder
Set the Export option to Images only
Make sure you are exporting slices
Deselect the option to export areas without slices
Click Save (Windows) or Export (Mac)
Use DW to create your page, insert your images and add your rollover
behaviors.

Severe banding issue in shadow areas

Short Version: Having severe banding issues in shadow areas in Lightroom. Need to know how/what to set my color profile to to fix this issue. Lengthier description and images below.
I have read several posts here in the Lightroom forums about others who are experiencing the same type of banding issues, but I haven't seen any definitive answers on how to solve the problem.
I was able to take a couple screenshots of the issue that I am seeing. The image looks very different in Photoshop, Lightroom, Windows Photo Gallery, and also rendered in IE7. Screenshots of the image in Lightroom and the image in Photoshop are posted below at a 100% crop of the affected area. The first image is how it appears in Lightroom and the second image is how it appears in Photoshop.
From what I have read elsewhere the problem has to do with how Lightroom uses color profiles. I do not have much experience with color profiles, so I'd like to get everyone's recommendation on what color profile I should be using, and maybe a link to some information on setting color profiles and how to fix this issue. The image looks so much different in Lightroom than it does elsewhere, that I can't see myself being able to trust Lightroom to process my images.
Some info on my setup. Shoot RAW with Canon Rebel XT. Use a Dell with Pentium D running Windows Vista. Monitor is a Dell 2007FP, and currently I am using the Dell 2007FP color profile as far as I can tell.

Don, Bob!
I think it is quite obvious that the Eric's problem is not banding per se (and the related cure by fiddling with black setting), but rather about the mismatch between how the file looks in LR's Develop 100% view and how the same file (or an exported file) looks in Photoshop.
Eric!
I am afraid there is no definite answer to this problem. Indeed there are a number of Windows users that have reported this problem. A very exhaustive and inconclusive thread is this:
http://www.adobeforums.com/cgi-bin/webx?128@@.3bc3578d
The bottom line so far seems to be this:
LR on Windows uses Windows ICM to generate how the image looks on the screen, while PS uses Adobe own engine to generate this. Somehow this set-up appears not to work reliably with LR - the on-screen image in LR 100% develop differs from the same file's appearance in PS or other color managed applications. The mystery here is that other applications that seem to use Windows ICM still manage to show image correctly, but not LR. But anyway, the Windows ICM appears to be the culprit here.
The amount of difference people see depends on the complexity of the monitor profile used. LUT based Version 4.0 profiles will be affected worst - not only shadow detail, but the overall tonality and colors may be off. The best match is achieved with simple matrix based version 2.0 profiles - on my machine the mismatch occurs only in deep shadows were I see banding/splotchiness in LR and only under certain Develop settings.
(Incidentallly, on Windows XP (and older) machines one should ALWAYS use ver 2.0 profiles, as Windows ICM does not support ver 4.0 profiles. I also think that Windows ICM cannot handle LUT based profiles correctly. My own experiments showed that using LUT based monitor profile resulted in mismatch between PS CS2 and other applications (like Canon DPP), not only LR. BTW - as you are using generic monitor profile, I can almost bet that it is a matrix ver 2.0 profile (good thing).)
I am curious about the Vista thing though. I had certain hopes that this image appearance problem in LR would be eliminated on Vista, as it uses the Microsoft's new Windows Color System which incororates an updated ICM that now supports ver 4.0 profiles and reportedly has many bugs of the previous ICM fixed. However, if your report is true and the image mismatch is not due to some other factors, then it seems that Vista does not solve this.

Is there an update to iOS 6? I've been having several technical issues since the upgrade. Uncontrolled zoom of the entire screen, Siri taking 25 seconds to respond and not recognizing names, locking up of the phone. All requiring a reset.

I would restore with backup and if that doesn't fix it try as new

W540 Questions & Issues

Hi Folks,
Questions & Issues:
1. Where is the Break key on the W540?
2. My W540 locks up about once every two days - there does not appear to be any common task that causes this. When it lock nothing works, not Ctrl+Alt+Del, I must power off with the power button. Any comments or suggestions?
Observations:
I'm not a fan of the new keyboard. For example, the F1..F12 keys are difficult to read (the F parts, not the pictures) and the off center feel leads to difficult typing (at least for me).
TIA

Hi SD
1. Try Fn+B for Break
Refer to this post for more information.
1.2.
2. Go to Start > Lenovo > System Update. Install all Critical and Recommended Updates.
3. If No.2 does not work, go to Task Manager > Startup > Try uncheck a few which is optional. Do not uncheck Lenovo Stuffs and Antivirus.

Several question regarding kde4

Hi!
Yesterday I have upgraded kde to 4.1 version. I am quite happy with it, but I have several questions:
1. Is there any way to organize icons on desktop? In KDE 3 we had "Snap to grid" and was ok. Now they are freely mixed on desktop.
2. I am missing some KDE 3 styles (like domino). And now Qt3 apps uses basic Qt styles (which are awful). Trying to install it from pacman results in error, because styles require kde3-base.
P.S. I rather don't like default theme for KDE4. I miss some nice and polished window decorations and styles and of course grayish gray and more gray color schemes .

I heard about but didn't test Folder view (for managing icons on desktop). Also you can right click on applications in the menu and tell them to be put on the desktop. Or at least it worked before, with the first kde-workspace package merged. Unfortunately I cannot test now, since I'm on a win desktop at work.

Oracle Apps Database severe Performance Issue

Hi Gurus,
This is regarding a severe performance issue running in our Production E-Business Suite Instance.
its an R12.1.3 setup installed with 11.2.0.1 Database. All the servers are Solaris Sparc 64 (Solaris 10)
Let me brief you about the instance first:
2 Node Application
- Main Application Server hosting web/forms/concurrent/admin servers
- iSupplier server hosting web services (placed in DMZ, used by external suppliers via Internet)
1 Node Database Server
Database Server Specs
Memory: 144G phys mem 20G total swap
- CPUs (8Px4cores, 2Px2cores)
- I/O - fiber channel hard disk (hitachi SAN Storage) - 7 DATA_TOPs (7 drives with RAID 5) - current DB size 1.6 TB
- at peak load, around 1000 concurrent forms session and 2000 web sessions.
We have been facing some serious performance issues and we raised an SR with Oracle Support.
The Support analyzed a bunch of AWR Reports we provided them and they asked us to increase the DB_CACHE from its current usage of 27G to 40G
So, we changed SGA_TARGET from 35G to 50G and PGA was increased from 35G to 40G as v$pgastat was also suggesting some lack of memory.
We made these changes last night.
Today morning we observed the following:
1. after start of office hours, we checked in the home page of EM DB Console that ADDM was showing reduced impact due to lack of SGA memory which seemed to be a good sign. Earlier it was around 25% which was now at 12%.
However, negative aspects were:
1. lot of swapping was reported by the System Administrators on the DB Server
2. High CPU Usage
3. EM DB Console showed a lot of "Concurrency Wait Class" events ...throughout the day lot of blocking sessions were reported which were making other sessions to wait.
in the AWR Report, following foreground reports were listed:
Top 5 Timed Foreground Events
Event

Time(s)
Avg wait (ms)

2.73
Other
This is showing "library cache lock" events as the main culprit apart from the usual suspect, the CPU.
I am attaching the AWR Report. Please let me know if i should revert back the memory changes or is there anything else i could do.
Please help us resolving it because the performance is going worst.
Regards,
Muneer.

Pl do not post duplicates - Oracle Apps Database severe Performance Issue
For all critical production issues, pl work with Support thru SRs - using the forums to troubleshoot production issues is not wise

... several questionable issues ...
