[SOLVED] custom terminal (urxvt) settings with vim

Hi all,
I want to run vim in a terminal (urxvt) session with XRESOURCES settings different than the default, located at ~/.Xresources.
I'm doing this because when I run vim I want different font settings as well as some other urxvt settings
How can I do this?
I have a second xresources file called .Xresources-vim
I tried setting the environment variable XRESOURCES=.Xresources-vim, and ran vim on the same line, but it doesn't pick up on the alternate urxvt settings.
If I change XRESOURCES as above and run urxvt on the same line, i get the custom settings
So I want to somehow execute vim with one key combination and get it into a urxvt session with the custom settings
any ideas?
Best,
Alan

You can also just have a different class specifier in your Xresources file, so you'd have settings for URxvt*<option>: setting, and urxvt-vim.<option>: setting. Then call as "urxvt -name urxvt-vim -e vim" and it will take all the urxvt-vim settings from Xresources.
But if this is for different color settings, you do know that vim syntax highlighting can use 256 colors, right? So you wouldn't need to reset the 16 base colors.

[SOLVED] Xfce terminal open links with wrong browser.

After installing Opera as second browser, xfce terminal began to open links with it, instead of my default browser - Firefox.
I right click on an URL, choose 'Open Link' and it opens in Opera.
Firefox is set as default browser in Settings -> Preferred Applications -> Web Browser
xdg-open http://archlinux.org
- opens Firefox
exo-open http://archlinux.org
- opens Firefox
After quick search through xfce terminal sources i found it uses some function - gtk_show_uri.
I googled it, found that topic: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=140028 and tried the solution:
cat ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
[Added Associations]
x-scheme-handler/mailto=exo-mail-reader.desktop
x-scheme-handler/http=firefox-browser.desktop
strangely it doesn't help.
After all righ click url in terminal and 'Open Link' still uses Opera.
Any ideas? What else can i do to find out a reason?

Tried BROWSER envar - doesnt help, and as i understand it must work only for cli apps.
Editing of ~/.config/mimeapps.list doesnt help eather:
cat ~/.config/mimeapps.list
[Default Applications]
text/vcard=firefox.desktop
text/html=firefox.desktop
[Added Associations]
text/vcard=firefox.desktop;
text/html=firefox.desktop
but maybe it's not correct.
After that i tried to strace xfce4-terminal:

close(21) = 0
wait4(1469, [{WIFEXITED(s) && WEXITSTATUS(s) == 0}], 0, NULL) = 1469
and it's strange but as i can understand it uses some mime cache file located at /usr/local/share/mime/mime.cache
and before that some other non existing files, but i dont see there any familiar config files.

[SOLVED] lxde+openbox+urxvt = can't get a transparent terminal

I've been trying to get urxvt fully transparent and maximized every spare time i have after work. But now i'm just wasting time, since it won't work no matter what. My first attempt was to read the wiki: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Openbox (urxvt) that didn't work at all for me, then I resorted to a quick search on the forum, found various links: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64898 & http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=64459 with peeps having the same issues like I did, or almost. But alas that didn't work either.
I can move around the terminal urxvt window/border, but it's not transparent, and it's NOT covering my entire screen like it's suppose to.
Any ideas?

Hello brisbin33, cheers for the prompt reply!
are you running xcompmgr?
yes, I use it for shades around my borders
do you have composite enabled in xorg.conf?
I don't use xorg.conf at all, I rely completly on input hotplugging through xorg-server and HAL, btw I was under the impression xorg-server (input hotplugging) completly ignores your xorg.conf if it's set to use HAL as autodection?

EDIT: I'm using lxde on my asus eeepc900, here's something I just read on the archlinux wiki, so once more having an xorg.conf is useless if you rely on input-hotplugging right? (wiki claims xorg ignores the xorg.conf if it's relying completly on HAL)
Intel drivers
The new Intel driver, xf86-video-intel, comes with compositing enabled by default. It's configured to use the newer EXA acceleration method, but the default build options can result in very slugish performance. In these cases, adding these options to the "Device" section of your /etc/X11/xorg.conf can improve the situation dramatically:
Option "AccelMethod" "exa"
Option "MigrationHeuristic" "greedy"
Option "ExaNoComposite" "false"

Getting error reading settings with service profile manager. Why and what can I do to solve problem?

Getting "error reading settings" with the service profile manager in Lion server OS. Why and what can I do to solve problem?

I have also had the 'Error reading settings' problem in Profile Manager, despite trying everything in the discussions and clean reinstalls (which work for a little while only).
It seems that various different fixes work for some people but not others; and the underlying cause of the problem has not been resolved.
There are now numerous threads on this problem (there are yet others with similar problems):
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3189397

https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3249062
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3199734
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3212304
I have posted this in each to try and pull things together a bit.
Does anyone know if Apple has acknowledged the issue and offered an official response?

Sup guys,
first post ever in this Forum, but I've already used it a few times...
I'm from Brazil, and I chose Arch Linux to be my initial dive into the Linux world, I assumed this one is one of the best for me to learn about computing. I've already installed and reinstalled it a few times. I tried with KDE and stuff, but now I wanted to step up to a higher level, so I picked XMonad.
I followed several different guides to install it and stuff, I checked some solved problems trying to get it running, but no, it's still not working.
When installing XMonad 0.11 it warned me there were pendencies I had to install, some haskell packages and stuff, I got them all installed and it's now listed in GHC-PKG as xmonad-0.11 and xmonad-contrib-0.11. I got Xorg-server, xorg-xinit and xorg-server-utils all installed. I was going to use SliM Login Manager, but I found myself having trouble to start xmonad even with startx, so I'm focusing in configuring it first. I put into my ~/.xinitrc file the lines: "xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr", "setxkbmap -model abnt2 -model br -layout abnt2" and "exec xmonad", then run "# xmonad --recompile". Finally, when I run startx what happens is that my screen goes black and theres a mouse pointer, that's it, all those XMonad keyboard shortcuts doesn't work, I've tested it with the default template in "/usr/share/xmonad-0.11/man/xmonad.hs" and other downloaded from users in this forum. Nothing ever changes, except from the default template, which gives me error messages referring to 'help' not in Scope, which I believe it's a known bug/error in the file.
I really want to use, try, learn about XMonad, but first I gotta successfully run it at least once, so I can change and see the results while making my own .hs ...
So I'm here asking for a light, all mighty archie wizards.
PS: Using Firefox from default startx Window X

Ok, so I ran startx with "exec xmonad" with this xmonad.hs config:
import XMonad
main = do
xmonad $ defaultConfig
{ terminal = "urxvt"
, modMask = mod4Mask
, borderWidth = 3
Supposely it had to open terminal with WinL + Return or WinL+Shift+Return. But it's not...
EDIT: OH DUDE! I changed urxvt for xterm and it opened! I'm so glad with almost nothing, now I'm gonna check for more keybinds and that wiki a little further... thanks
EDIT2: If I open XMonad and then open xmonad.hs and make some changes, will it automatically update? or do I have to recompile > restart?

Not a happy Apps Store customer - changing country settings

I got the following problem and raised it a few times with NO reply from Apple which is very dissapointing and reflection of surprisingly poor customer service from Apple (with the exception of the customer service here in HK who came back to me quickly. But they could not sort it out for me).
This year I moved from Australia to Hong Kong and changed without being aware of the consequences the store settings in itunes/apps Store.
Unfortuntately I got a few apple devices: 2 MBAs, ipad2, ipad, iphone which where purchased in Australia and in Hong Kong. One consequence of switching the country settings is that on all my devices the apps are not in sync and that I lost all my Australian apps. Its a complete chaos with my apps on different devices and I really regret that I spent money on the app store and now got an issue on how to sort out this mess.
I read the T&G's and I'm aware of the country specific licences agreement but somehow apple should be able to help their customers in sorting out these constraints due to different laws in different countries. I don't believe one should be a lawyer to buy an app on the app store and to understand the legal implications when buying an app. It's not really the problem of the end consumer who buys legally the licence for an app and then moves country and suddenly doesn't have access to the purchased app anymore. The end-consumer already paid the licence for the app.
But Apple makes this a big problem for the end consumer of and I'm worried what to do with my apple devices and my apps. The problem is that we currently got ipad for work so I need to get some apps from the store for my work.
And I'm really ****** off because its now my problem and of the mess on my devices which all got different versions of the apps. My idea was to have all my devices synced so if I loose one device I could easily get a new one and sync it with itunes/app store/cloud as the single source of the truth.
As a conclusion of above I'm now a very critical user of Mac/Apple Products and I make people, friends and business partner aware of this limitation and problem with the app store. I'm also for the first time looking forward to get my hands on samsung device as it doesn't really seem to matter anymore if my apps/data are automatically in sync as apples promise of a cloud based 'play and have it anywhere" is an empty promise.
A very disillusioned customer (happy to switch to the competition)

Thank you both for your very instructive and helpful reply. I can see that open discussions are strongly encouraged in this forum.
@HACKINT0SH: if I remember one of your replies to another user with a similar problem of switching country setting you recommended to download all apps before switching but with the "side effect" that one will loose the ability to receive updates of the purchased apps once the country setting is switched.
What exactly is the lesson learned?
An app or a program is useless if you can't download updates as the app will be unsupported or won't work in future OS releases.
Hence your suggestion to download all apps before switching is only a short sighted work around solution which doesn't solve the issue of how to receive updates for the apps you bought in your previous country.
@Dah veed: I hope that above reply explains the problem of users switching apple store due to personal circumstances and not being able to continue using their purchased apps anymore. I didn't screw my country settings as I only moved from one country to the other without being able to move my apps with me. That's all and I would like to make people aware of this problem.
I only replied to both of you because I found your replies very entertaining and also proves to me that apple is not monitoring their "technical" support forum.
As a customer who is trying to help finding answers to problems I will nevertheless raise a formal complaint to apple instead of responding to both of you via this post. Perhaps this forum is indeed not the right forum to help solve this problem.

Massive copy to system clipboard with vim?

Say I'm editing a program with vim through a terminal (say xterm). Does anyone know how to copy the contents, via left click highlighting, onto the system clipboard (x11) when the content that needs to be copied is physically off the screen? I've tried to arrow up while highlighting but it doesn't work.

toxic, from what I understand from t-dawg's questions is that he wants to emulate what you can do in gvim, but with vim instead.
In gvim, I can click the mouse button; hold; drag downwards and then gvim will start scrolling downwards, whilst highlighting the passing lines. This is how you highlight large amounts of text (greater than what can fit in a single screen at a time) with a mouse.
However, terminals are slightly dumber. Whilst you can highlight areas of text, that's a console function and not something that vim itself is monitoring. Therefore, you can't achieve the same effect with the mouse in vim as you can in gvim.
Of course, vim is perfectly capable of selecting more text than can fit in a single screen. It has a visual mode. Press v and then move down with your cursor keys, et volia - highlighted text.
Now when it comes to shifting this to X11's clipboard, I've never tried (hence the link I gave for possible help). I'm sure it can be done.

Customizing for LCA Settings /SAPAPO/OM_CUSTOMIZE

Hi,
With abap /SAPAPO/OM_CUSTOMIZE you can do some live cache settings. One option is to compress DP time series.
Does anybody know what happens when you switch on this setting?
I have found this report via transaction /sapapo/om00.
thanks for your response
Jean Vroemen

Hello Jean Vroemen,
-> As you know, the report /SAPAPO/OM_CUSTOMIZE has title "Customizing for LCA Settings".
    This report is used for the customizing some LCA parameters. The settings could be recommended
    by the LCA developers only, if it's needed. Please dont change any of the LCA customizing
    parameters if you was NOT advised from SAP LCA development support to do so !
-> The flag "compress DP time series" defines the storage format of time series in DP.
     The LCA development introduced this flag in release SCM 5.0, but this flag is still a project
     for pilot customers only in SCM 5.0.
     If you have interest to participate in this project, please create the ticket to the component
     'BC-DB-LCA', the status of the system SPs stack need to be checked & DP application scenario
     reviewed first.
     As of SCM 5.1 this flag set by default for storing time series data to the compressed format.
     And the report /SAPAPO/OM_CUSTOMIZE run in SCM 5.1 will have the unchecked box for the
     LCA customize-parameter "Non-Compressed Store for DP Time Series".
Thank you and best regards, Natalia Khlopina

Custom Soft Proof Settings....

Hi....I'm looking for a way to save and load custom soft proof settings in AiCS4. The Adobe help docs say this is possible:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS218910C1-B8D3-450b-AC31-9E6EA50C2BAD.html
...but my custom soft proof dialog doesn't give me the options. I'm wondering if it's possible.
Illustrator CS4 v14.0.0
Thanks,
Carl Stawicki

Well I re-did the monitor profiles with PMP 5 and got the same results - toggling Soft Proof on and off (Cntrl-Y) displayed a darker/yellow image when on.
Then I re-profiled both monitors with i!Match (I profiled the lesser, an HP-TFT display, and then matched the NEC IPS to it) and now Soft Proof works as it should.
Why did PMP 5 do this?
I ran PMP 5 on another Dell with a Dell monitor to see if I had overlooked some step or setting that was crucial and nothing leaped out at me.
This makes me wonder if I can depend on any profile from PMP 5.

Another Customer that Regrets Staying with VZ

Been with Verizon for several years, and was satisfied with FIOS service. From the value paid for services, sadly can't say the same. We cut the cord last Fall and had Triple Play bundle -- we still had to subscribe to a TV package to watch / record shows on cable networks, as well as pay the $5 monthly fee to rent the cable card. We were no longer under contract, but the "barebones" Triple Play without STB, DVR service still cost $124.99 --> $150+ with fees and taxes. Like everyone, we constantly get mailers for these great offers, which of course, are only available to New Subscribers. Called in to cancel service & switch to Comcast Xfinity. The customer representative convinced me to stay with Verizon. He arranged for service to be cancelled the day before the install. After the call, we decided to downgrade to the Custom TV plan -- also was frustrated how all the promises made by the representative wasn't documented in the automated emails that were delivered much later that day. Called back the following day and spoke with an awesome representative who was incredibly helpful to ensure we were getting the best value in services and stayed in our budget (already invested in building out a HTPC and tuner - which we had hoped to recoup in savings when we returned the STB and dropped DVR service). The representative sent follow-up emails IMMMEDIATELY and during the call of the promises of $350 prepaid Visa gift card & installation, activation fees would be waived -- they still have to send a technician out for ??? (On day of install, everything was up and running...the tech didn't even know why he needed to come to the house) After the "install," we decided to change the channel packs. For whatever reason, the My Verizon portal is SUPER SLOW. We wanted to change the channel packs, and inadvertently changed the internet speed from 50/50 to 25/25. Called back the following day, which was a HUGE MISTAKE. We had received a promotion to upgrade to 75/75 with Quantum FIOS gateway router stated as "Free." The customer representative was definitely shifty ... the representative gave me a quote for the first monthly bill - but assured me that whatever promised were made previously would be honored & to disregard the $60 + in fees (which are broken up into 3 monthly charges) ---> WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY FOR ANOTHER INTERNET ACTIVATION & INSTALLATION ???? The representative REFUSED to send any follow-up communication, stating he didn't have access & "not to worry." I was totally furious when I received the email with preview of first monthly bill with the new changes -- which didn't arrive until later that day. FINALLY received the first monthly bill. The bill is 8 pages long.... obviously the rep hid the "Free" router ... now we're going to pay $185 for the next 3 months. In addition, the bill contains charges for random "deferred" charges from 2010. At this point, I'm willing to pay the ETF, 3 weeks into service (as we didn't get the first monthly bill until 2 weeks after service). FWIW: the quantum router is worse than the older router. And watching FIOS TV is a horrible experience, with audio constantly dropping. OH: I love the daily reminder calls at 7AM every morning that we haven't returned our equipment. They now have new policy: $650 penalty EVERY MONTH is charged. BYE VERIZON...

We're pulling the plug. Got an antenna for about $100 (we get 65 free stations), got a Channelmaster DVR+ for around $300 (it has everything a cheaper TiVo has but with NO monthly fee EVER), and got a terabyte hard drive for around $60. Expensive up front, but we're paying nearly $200/month for a home phone we never use and a TV lineup with channels we don't watch! We'll keep high-speed Internet, but I'm hoping to save at least $100/month after we regain what we spent in equipment costs and for paying a six-month early termination fee. With our free channels, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and Netflix, we'll be paying only $30 a month. We also switched to Republic Wireless--unlimited calls, text, and 1 gb of data for me is $25/month. If I don't use all the data, I get a refund on the next month's bill. For my husband it's unlimited calls, text, and .5 gb of data for $17, again with a refund for unused data. I'm thinking that the days of these big companies gouging everyone are coming to a close as people wise up.

Custom Events are repeating with the standard events

Hello All,
I am facing a problem with the customization of standard OA Page.
We have modified the page by adding a new custom region with three buttons in it. We have also developed a controller for that region to handle the events. when a button is clicked, a new page opens up in a new window.
I have observed that the custom controller is called when any event occurs in the page irrespective of the region.
Now the actual problem is whenever any of the custom buttons are clicked, according to the requirement the new window opens up. But if we perform any other standard events in the page like clicking a standard LOV immediately after performing the custom event, then that most recent custom event is repeating with that standard event.
how to prevent this repetetion of custom event with standard event?
please help me solve this problem..
Thanks in advance.

For your page, are you setting the controller class for your various regions in the property inspector?

Migration manager forgets to import custom IAC channel settings

it looks after "migrating settings" from 10.5.8 to 10.6 that the Migration manager forgets to import custom IAC channel settings.
cananybody tell me where they are stored and which files i would have to manually copy or do i have to re-create those IAC channels by hand?
thanks for any input...

Hi
The value of the Channel Strip volume etc is not stored within the C Strip setting, as you have discovered.
If you really wanted, you could add a Gain plug to the strip, with it set to give the correct output level with the Fader set to 0
(Or just set the fader manually in MS)
