[SOLVED] Odd text issue with compositing

I'm getting black boxes around letters in tint2 and xfce-terminal. Check out this image:
I use complete autoconfig w/X (no xorg.conf). I have the xfce compositor turned on, which is working normally.
Here's my tint2 config:
# Background definitions
# ID 1
rounded = 7
border_width = 1
background_color = #000000 45
border_color = #FFFFFF 12
# ID 2
rounded = 5
border_width = 0
background_color = #FFFFFF 24
border_color = #FFFFFF 12
# ID 3
rounded = 5
border_width = 0
background_color = #FFFFFF 45
border_color = #FFFFFF 64
# Panel
panel_monitor = all
panel_position = top left horizontal
panel_size = 0 28
panel_margin = 0 0
panel_padding = 2 2 0
panel_dock = 1
wm_menu = 1
panel_layer = bottom
panel_background_id = 1
# Panel Autohide
autohide = 0
autohide_show_timeout = 0.0
autohide_hide_timeout = 0.0
autohide_height = 0
strut_policy = follow_size
# Taskbar
taskbar_mode = multi_desktop
taskbar_padding = 1 1 1
taskbar_background_id = 0
#taskbar_active_background_id = 0
# Tasks
urgent_nb_of_blink = 7
task_icon = 1
task_text = 1
task_centered = 1
task_maximum_size = 150 30
task_padding = 6 4
task_background_id = 2
task_active_background_id = 3
task_urgent_background_id = 0
task_iconified_background_id = 2
# Task Icons
task_icon_asb = 80 -10 -10
task_active_icon_asb = 100 0 0
Thanks in advance!
[EDIT]
I just turned off the xfce compositer and tried xcompmgr, which fixed the issue. Any idea how to fix xfce's compositer?

Bump...the problem persists in x.org 1.8 too, and is not xfce-specific.
The bug affects not only tint2 (with just xfce-compositor) but also terminal and gpodder (notice the numbers) (with all compositors):
My Xorg.0.log:

Odd font issue with Safari, iWeb

Ok, so I've been having this odd font issue with Safari for quite a while now, and I haven't been able to fix it. Some text on several different websites come up in a different font than the default font for Safari. I've tried changing the default font to something else, changing the text encoding and nothing. This has been happening with several releases of Safari.
Now, last night I discovered the same thing is happening with iWeb. Some of the text fields come up with the same font as the one in Safari! I don't even know which font it is. So somehow these are linked.
I'm at work right now, but I can get a screen shot of the font once I get home.
Any ideas on how to remedy this?

Hi Tom, thanks for the response. I tried searching for those two fonts in my font book and they weren't in there. See below for screen shots of the odd text I'm getting:
iWeb
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
Safari
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
If anyone can help resolve I'd greatly appreciate it. As much as I like Safari, this odd font makes me close Safari after a few mins of browsing =\

Text issue with Chinese Windows XP

Hello,
When installing a distribution made with the english version of CVI 2010 on a PC with Windows XP in Chinese I have an issue with some caracters like µA or ° (see below)
What could be the reason of this behavior and could I solve it?.

Hi Bertrand_ENAC,
Have you ever try to modfy the format and language settings in the setting panel on windows xp ?

Solved IOS 6 issue with headphone remote

Upgraded my Iphone 4S to IOS 6 and my Klipsch headphone remot would not work. Volume buttons worked, and the center button would start playing music, but it would not stop or pause the songs. I tried my original Apple earbugs with the remote and did not have any problems. The I used the Klipsch again, and now they work great.
Sounds strange, but that is what happened.

Hi All,
I was facing all sorts of issues with my earphone controls.
This solved my problem.
Double click home button. (press twice).This will show you all the apps that you have currently open.
Long click on the 1st app in the list [about 3 seconds]. This will make the icons wiggle and show a red minus sign on the left hand top corner.
Scroll [right] to see your music app (if you can't see it already).
Press the red minus sign. This will completely close the music app.
Restart your music app and things should be back to normal. [I also would close all other app in the same fashion, just in case, cause things like youtube apps use the controls on your earphones as well. ]
In short: - kill, kill-em-all and restart your music app.

[SOLVED] Screen brightness issues with Acer 5372Z

The screen of my laptop goes black whenever I boot into ArchLinux, after "reading Udev events" on startup. Most of the time I have to use a flashlight to see the console on my screen and type
sudo setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
to set screen brightness manually. The `Fn` + `Brightness up` combination doesn't work on my machine, but that's not an issue with Arch, but fault to sugar in coffee.
There are a lot of similar threads in this forum, but none of the solutions described there really worked 100% or not at all, that's why I'm opening a new thread as this seems to be specific to my hardware.
Details:
Graphics controller:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
Screen resolution:
1366*766
/boot/grub/menu.lst:
# (0) Arch Linux
title Arch Linux
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/sda10 resume=/dev/sda5 ro vga=775
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
/etc/rc.conf#DAEMONS:
DAEMONS=(hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond laptop-mode dbus gdm)
I will describe here what I have did so far on hacking:
Installed the video driver for my Intel card as described here in the wiki
Set kernel mode to `nomodeset`, without specifying vga, of course, which surprisingly solved the issue, but prevented me from using Gnome.
The supposed solution in the Arch wiki doesn't work for me. It makes it worse, in the sense of dumping screen brightness even before "reading udev events" on boot.
My current workaround (to avoid using a flashlight) is to put this line into my `/etc/rc.local`:
setpci -s 00:02.0 F4.B=20
I wonder if you can help me to solve this issue, or point me to any of the great documentation provided by the Arch community I might have missed...

rg_arc wrote:I have this problem as well for my Acer Aspire 4810TZ. The only thing I can think of is to make some sort of temporary fix. But I agree with you, There should be a permanent fix. Every time I've installed Arch on this computer the same problem arises and the only way I can change the brightness is the setpci terminal method.
This is bad news for new Arch (and Linux) users. This will be probably the point where they will turn over to another distribution.
It seems to be something which has been included in newer kernels, because I can remember that in the 2.6 series this issue did not exist.

Texting issues with Droid charge

I am having issues with texting also with my Charge among other things. I just got a replacement phone and have already lost multiple messages, or have not had messages go through. The texting function is a major part of my business and this phone is not at all reliable for texting. I even left my replacement phone with no apps loaded, so the problem could not be blamed on anything but the phone.
I have also had the first phone reboot for no reason, and it would change the screen brightness to lowest for no reason. I am very unhappy with this phone.

I have just discovered why some text msgs do NOT go through. If you have caller ID blocking turned ON and subsequently you have added *82 in front of those phone numbers that you want the person to see who you are, the *82 blocks the text msg to those phone numbers because text messaging can only handle 10 digit numbers.
OTOH, for what it's worth, if you want to block your caller ID to a single voice-call phone number just put *67 in front of that phone number.

[SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode

Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

[SOLVED] Post installation issues with KDE 4.7.0

I reinstalled my machine (DELL Studio 540 PC) with Arch Linux 64 bit. I did an install using LVM2 and RAID (have 2 500 GB drives in my machine). Everything went fine with the installation and bootloader (grub2) but I'm having a few issues with KDE and grub2.
1. When booting my machine grub2 gives an error saying "error: fd0 not found" (twice). My machine does not have a floppy drive and has never had one. There is no option in the BIOS to turn floppy off. So why is grub2 complaining about it?
2. With KDE 4.7.0 thumbnails of pdf files are not generated anymore, they were with previous versions of KDE4. Anybody else have that issue with 4.7?
3. I have and Brother DCP-7045n printer in my network and when try to print from a KDE program (Koffice, Kate, Kwrite, Kile etc.), the margins are completely messed up. The print preview on the screens looks right but the actual print everything shift upwards to the right. So things on top of a page are cut off for example. Printing from Gnome/GTK apps (Acrobat Reader, Libreoffice etc.) do not show this behaviour. I 've had this issue with KDE4 since KDE 4.3. Here is the original ustream bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196590
Anybody got an idea how to fix this?
4. Skype is crashing on me on startup constantly several times before it finally runs. I've had this problem since the 2.2.x series got released? Anybody got a fix for that. I was hoping a reinstall would fix that problem (same with the printing issue) but no luck.
5. I'm using KDE's microblogging plasma app to check my twitter account but I can't get to remember my password. Everytime I log into I have to manually login to my twitter and kdewallet is running and has my password stored and everything. This one really pusles me.
6. The final issue I having and issue was also the reason why I wanted to reinstall my machine in the first place. I originally used KDEmod as my desktop but they stopped making KDEmod some time ago when they started working on Chakra. So I removed KDEmod and installed KDE from Arch directly. A nice feature of KDE4 is its ability to generate previews on folders containing images and videos. When I switched to KDE that feature stopped working. So I was expecting that with a fresh install that this work and it does except for folders containing jpeg files. If I have a folder containing only jpeg files no previews/thumbnails are generated on the folder but previews the jpeg files themselves are generated. Does anybody else have that problem with jpegs and folder previews?
Hope somebody can help me with these few issues...

Have you installed grub2 with that --no-floppy flag as described in:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Grub2#BIOS_systems?

Nope. Is it selected in dolphin>settings>general>previews.

Well that won't be a solution, but you might use choqok instead - at least it stores the password.
To answer your first answer, yes I installed grub2 with the --no-floppy option as mentioned in the wiki. Regarding 2 I don't understand why that works for you then? I have all things turned on under previews (folder, video, jpeg etc.) but as mentioned in my first post I have no previews with pdf files and jpegs do generate on folder previews. Finally regarding 5 the microblogging plasma app worked fine on my old installation even after I updated to KDE 4.7.0. The password issue I'm having is on my fresh install.

Weird Text Issue with Gmail

Hey all,
I'm an avid user of Gmail - I love the massive storage space, the way it sorts messages, how messages are grouped into conversations - the whole works. A day ago, I noticed Safari was doing something odd with the text in the subjects, but thought it was just an abnormal glitch. I refreshed, and no change. I logged off and logged back on, and no change. I restarted and no change.
Here's what I see:
Notice the little cross and line down from the first letter of each subject. This is on every single message in my Gmail inbox and outbox too - not just my iTunes weekly emails. It does not occur on any message in my Spam folder though (grrr...)
When I loaded up Gmail on my PC, it was perfect, so I knew something was just odd with the Mac. I thought why not try a different browser on my Mac, so I loaded up Bon Echo (the Mac specific build of Firefox). That also displayed it perfectly, as seen here:
For plugins, I have Inquisitor and used to have ForgetMeNot. I tried removing both to solve the issue, and no luck. I've also deleted my Safari plist and cleared the cache.
Although this is not a huge issue, I would like it sorted out. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to listen and try them out.
Thanks for your time!

The font for Safari looks a little bit bigger than the font for Firefox, so how about trying this.
Click Safari in the menu (next to the Apple), and select Preferences. From here, click on Appearance, and set whatever font you have as the Standard Font one size smaller (so if it is 16, make it 14). I'm not positive that will work, it could be an error with Gmail rendering in Safari, but I'm pretty sure this "trick" will work. Hope it helps!

Odd visual issues with Xorg

Hey all, recently, after restarting post-upgrade, X loads my DE (Gnome), but fails to display it correctly. There are also quite a few visual artifacts. I've been running Arch on it for months, and I saw nothing in the update that would have broken anything. And the only errors/warnings in my Xorg logs are regarding vesa, fbdev, a fonts directory and ACPI (See code below).
$ grep EE Xorg.1.log

A thumbnail of a screenshot is below. Should anyone require a higher resolution of the image, I will provide one on request. For the record, the mouse and some of the icons on the shell appear. The whole screen also flickers as if broken on mouse move.
All the best,

Connor, thank you for your reply. EXA is a no-go. If by RenderAccel, you mean AccelDFS, it's also a no-go (if not, I don't know what you're referring to). I am also not familiar with the Composite extension. As far as I'm aware neither the driver or the xorg server were in the update which preceded the issue.
As a final update, I managed to get GNOME into Fallback mode to see if that would help at all. Though it does display my background, which doesn't happen in standard mode anymore, the icons and shell are all still messed up. As I need my laptop to be in fairly functioning condition before Wednesday—and because I'm fairly sure this whole thing was due to a mistake I made somewhere along the way—I'm just going to do a clean install tonight.
Thanks for all the help as always folks. Have a good night!
All the best,

Issues with compositing and some apps

Hi,
I'm pretty sure this only started happening after I did a complete system upgrade. I use the XFCE built in compositor. The problem I'm having is basically flashes! Annoying black flashes in firefox and opera. Konqueror isn't affected and I've never had this problem before (xfce under gentoo). I also don't recall having the issue before I did the system upgrade.
I'm using the latest nvidia drivers and the latest firefox. To replicate, open a firefox window on one virtual desktop. Then jump to another desktop and go back to the one containing firefox. For me, the firefox window flashes, the entire window is black for a split second. It doesn't sound like a big issue, but it's annoying as hell and I would be regularly switching desktops like this, as I code in one desktop and view in another.
I just want to know if anyone else experiences this or if they know a fix, before I try a re-install of arch. Note, this doesn't occur when XFCE's compositor is disabled. I haven't tested with copmiz fusion yet.

The weather issue on ur phone if its the one on main screen it runs off of your GPS. make sure in ur Location settings theyre all checked on. see if that helps. I got mine all checked i still at times were i live get a City thats 100 miles away on my phone But when I go out side it corrects itself. In the App store try Chartcross or GPS Test it will show u were the sattelites are located its a good app an it also tells ur alt. and speed. U can also check if U - R in a area that alltel once served that is now Verizon the Alltel Towers are slowly being switched over they should be Completed by the End of Year that is what I was Told By a T3 Tech I Wont hold my Breath on that one though. But here's Two things U Can have then Do 1. Check an see if a Hybred PRL can be pushed to your Phone if it can't just make Sure to do PRL update Once or Twice a Month! As it Helps For Both Voice an Data ! 2.Call Teck an See if Your SID is Up to Date For Ur Area. And If it Needs To Be Updated . Do it Manually ! Doing it By (*228 option one). Wont Install The New SID It Will Pute the old one Back IN. Dont be Afraid To Do this A Teck Can Show U How To Get into The Settings To Do the Update or SID Change. DincX110

[SOLVED] ACPI power issues with Sony Vaio Pro 13

tl;dr backstory:
Sony VAIO Pro 13 (SVP13215CDB) laptop was working great (Win 8.1).
Installed Win10 Tech Preview. A week later, it started going to sleep randomly and on certain key-presses (perhaps after performing Sony Vaio Software updates. I'm not 100% sure). I wiped all partitions installing Win7 in legacy mode. It still went to sleep randomly.
I restored to factory default Win8.1 with Sony Vaio software up-to-date. It still went to sleep randomly.
Took it to an electronics repair shop, to see if they could fix it, and they said it can't be fixed in any way without replacing motherboard, but that's basically a new laptop.
So I turned to Arch Linux.
I have completed the basic install from the Wiki, and it no longer sleeps/shuts down randomly, but it will gracefully shutdown when certain events/keypresses occur.
I installed acpid and used "acpi_listen >> acpi.log" to determine what causes the system to perform a graceful shutdown. Here is the result of acpi.log (each line was a shutdown event):
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Unplugged power adapter.
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Running on battery and idle. Perhaps battery percent update caused this?
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Plugged in power adapter.
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F1 Touchpad Disable
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F5 Brightness Down
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F6 Brightness Up
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-F7 LCD/External Display
button/power PBTN 00000080 00000000 # Fn-1 (Weird. It has no extra function).
As you can see, they all seem to trigger the same shutdown event.
I have seen on other posts that these ACPI signals can be disabled or assigned to other commands, which would be an acceptable workaround if it stops my laptop from erroneously shutting down. Is this doable?
Also, I was not able to reflash the Sony VAIO firmware when using Windows, as Sony's package software is amazing wouldn't allow flashing an equal or lesser firmware version. Perhaps there is a way in Arch to force a reflash if I can get my hands on the firmware blob?
Thanks .

linux /boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=<UUID here> rw quiet acpi=off
Like this?
I did that, and it disabled my laptop keyboard entirely. In doing so, it disables the key-presses that would normally shutdown the laptop, including the power button. So the only way to shut it down is a hard shutdown via long-press of the power button. Thanks, though.
Update: Issue Solved. I will update post tonight. Flashing the BIOS again resolved the ACPI issues.

How do I solve ?memory issues with RTFObj.u32

I am currently developing an interactive data analysis & reporting package to handle the results from an AW assessment program.
Using RTFObj.u32, I can save an assessment report for each candidate that contains a runtime-generated score distribution graphic + a certificate graphic together with some text, amounting to one A4 page of output. The graphics are displayed on screen then captured into temporary files which are embedded into the rtf script template file (myCandFile in the script below)
I use the sequence of code, each line in a separate calc, summarised as follows:
myRTFID[QBatchNumber] := rtfCreate(56, 80, 560, 627, myCandReportFolder^myCandFile,0, 0, 1, 2, 1)
result := rtfShow(myRTFID[myBatchNumber])
result := rtfSave(myRTFID[myBatchNumber], 0, mycandReportFolder^myCandFile)
result := rtfErase(myRTFID[myBatchNumber])
When I place this in a loop, it works fine and produces individual files with embedded graphics for up to around 190 candidates but will not produce any further files for larger cohorts and rtfShow() fails at this number. This maximum number does not seem to change even if I group the candidate pages into batches of 10 which produces only 19 rtf files, each with 10 candidate reports, rtfShow then fails at cycle 19.
Reducing the number of calls to rtfCreate() has no effect
Reducing the dimensions of rtfCreate() has no effect.
Reducing the content of each rtf file has no effect.
Removing the page breaks in the rtf files has no effect
The AW nested code loop continues to more than 400 records without apparent limit and graph plots continue to appear on screen to the end of the candidate listing.   Once the limit of 190 candidates has been reached, no more rtf files can be generated from anywhere else in the program and rtfOBJ.u32 appears to have failed without any warning messages.
From these observations, I'm not sure what controls the limit.
So what stops rtfObj.u32 from functioning? It would appear that rtfObj.u32 does not release the memory used to create the rtf file when rtfErase() is called. One might think that the limit may be related to the total number of characters handled by rtfObj.u32 in any one AW session, however reducing the rtf file size for each candidate by taking out one of the graphics has no effect on the number produced.
In another area of the program I can successfully save 5 rtf files of 28Mb each with rtfOBJ.U32 failing on the 6th.
Any ideas?
If it is a memory limitation of rtfOBJ.U32, is there any method for getting around it by allocating memory for rtfCreate() and releasing the memory when rtfErase() is called. Is there any way of unloading rtfObj.u32 then reloading it from code within an AW piece?
Regards
Don

This sounds very similar to a problem we had a few years with our Rtf files in Authorware 6.5
If your getting the error on loop 190, do you have numerous Rtf calls in a single loop? Check the value of the variable RtfCreate contains when the problem occurs: is it positive or negative?
The highest number you can record in 16 bits is 32767. When creating a new Rtf, Authorware increments the pointer by one each time. However, when it reaches 32767, the pointer then changes to negative 32768, then -32767, -32766 etc. Running in batches won't help, the pointer is reset to zero only when you quit Authorware.
We solved the problem as follows:-
-- Set when Initialising variables:-
lastID:=1 -- bugfix flag re losing RTF identity past 32767
B16:=0 -- Bit 16 Increment Value
-- Here's a typical Rtf call
rtfIDE:=rtfCreate(30,38,460,57,FnameTxtEng,0,0,1,1)
-- After each rtfCreate, we tested to see if the value had gone negative & if so, called a sub-routine
if (rtfIDE < 0 & lastID >0)   then
    CallScriptIcon(@"AdjB16")
end if
if rtfIDE >0 then lastID:=1
rtfIDE:=rtfIDE + B16
The calculation icon AdjB16 (With Properties set to Contains Script Function) is as follows:-
--increment variable to adjust address of RTF pointer
B16:=B16 + 65536
--flag re move past 32768 multiples negative or positive (may come through here again on next time it passes 32767)
if lastID =1 then lastID:=-1 else lastID:=1   -- there's a minus sign in there!
The show rtf call now carries on incrementing after 32767, so next Rtf show is positive 32768 ... & surprisingly Authorware shows correct Rtf
After -32768, the Create routine will eventually get the pointer down to minus one, zwero and then turn positive ... but happens again next time it passes 32767.
I don't recall how high we tested Show Rtf up to but we took it past 131,072

[SOLVED] Weird pacman issue with wine

Good Morning Community,
I'm on X86_64. I've just brought a system out of the ground from a differnt distro. Arch is up and running well.
Then when I went to install wine .....pacman is giving me a strange error. Here is a cut n paste from the terminal
//-----------------Begin cut n pasted text
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -S wine
error: 'wine': could not find or read package
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
//----------------- End cut n pasted text
I am using one mirror in the pacman.d/mirrorlist:
//----------------Begin cut n pasted text
Server = http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/archlinux/$repo/os/$arch
//---------------- End cut n pasted text
And in using pacman to list packages, here is what I get
//----------------Begin cut n pasted text
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$ sudo pacman -Sl|grep wine
community winefish 1.3.3-9
community winegame 0.2.0-1
community winestuff 0.2.0-1
community winetricks 20101222-1
[dcbdbis@Curly-Sr ~]$
//---------------- End cut n pasted text
Google returns nothing. And I've not found it in the forums, at least the ones I've been able to read in the last three hours.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening?
Ideas on what I can do to find out what's happening?
Help will be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely and respectfully,
Dave...........
