[SOLVED] Question about clipping

Hello,
I'm using JOGL and I have question. When the camera gets close to my test-house, JOGL automaticly clips parts of the house. Have a look at [this image|http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/6236/clipping.png] to see what I mean.
My question: How to prevent that clipping? I don't want it to clip...
Thanks,
Matt
EDIT: Solved it myself, I had to lower the perspective lower-limit (gluPerspective)

See my first post.

[SOLVED] Question about CPU temperature

Hi everybody,
I just want to ask a question about "standard" CPU temperatures because my laptop (a Dell Vostro 3700) is permanently hot with the fans on even when I am not doing anything special.
I have CPU freq scaling active with the conservative governor, and I use Gnome Shell 3.2 with an nVidia using the nouveau driver.
Here are "stable" temperatures while writing this post:
# sensors
acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1: +72.5°C (crit = +103.0°C)
nouveau-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1: +78.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +110.0°C)
coretemp-isa-0000
Adapter: ISA adapter
Core 0: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
Core 2: +73.0°C (high = +95.0°C, crit = +105.0°C)
And this is the output of mpstat
# mpstat -P ALL
Linux 3.1.6-1-ARCH (fm) 01/04/2012 _x86_64_ (4 CPU)

10:16:50 PM 3 1.36 0.20 0.39 0.02 0.00 0.01 0.00 0.00 98.01
The fan, of course, is full speed (very annoying)
I think that these temperatures are quite high, but I don't know what's really causing all this heating because my laptop is basically idle.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

[SOLVED] Question about resolv.conf

I successfully configured my Arch box with a static IP by following the instructions on the Arch wiki page here but had a couple of questions about configuring /etc/resolv.conf:
1) What is the proper way to obtain the domain name that should be inserted into resolv.conf?
2) What exactly is this domain name used for? I read the man page but still don't really understand it. Why do I need a domain name if I already have a working set of nameservers to resolve IP addresses?
EDIT: @ewaller Yes I edited the OP because I realized that my original problem was that I just hadn't added a domain name in my resolv.conf file. I edited my original post because 1) the instructions are already posted clearly on Arch Wiki so my post really wouldn't be beneficial and 2) so I could ask my real question without making other people waste their time reading through my other nonsense

Yes, I know how to get a nameserver, but I'm asking about the domain name that goes in resolv.conf. The Arch wiki tutorial for setting up static IP uses the following resolv.conf as an example:
nameserver 61.23.173.5
nameserver 61.95.849.8
search example.com
My question has to do with what the "search example.com" does. I don't have a domain name associated with my machine, but if I remove that line, then I get "web page unavailable" when I try to load any web site, which suggests that I'm not connecting to any nameservers right?

[SOLVED] Question about GCC error messages.

I'm currently taking a course in C programming, and I have a question about the error messages returned by GCC.
When ever i try to compile a program containing syntax errors, i get cryptic and not very helpfull error messages.
If i try to compile:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
int i;
i = 0
return 0;
I get following from GCC:
error.c: In function â:
error.c:8:2: error: expected â before â
But shouldn't the message be something like:
error.c: In function 'main':
error.c:8:2: error: expected ; before 'return'
or am I mistaken?

Woah. That is very strange. I've never seen that before.
I assume you're using Arch Linux. What text editor did you use to write the code? Which terminal application are you using?
...those questions are probably unrelated to the problem, but we might as well get them out of the way.

[Solved] Questions about Arch on T420s

Hello everybody,
I'm relatively new to Arch and switched from Ubuntu last year. Since then I've learned a lot about Linux in general due to the great documentation provided by the Arch community.
I've managed to install Arch on my Thinkpad T420s with an UEFI Setup using Archboot. But still there are open questions.
My first question is about the UEFI System partition and grub2. Should the UEFI partition be mounted to the filesystem? What about updating Grub2 (eg for setting boot parameters) when the UEFI System partition is not mounted to the filesystem. Up to now I've set boot parameters by manually mounting the UEFI partition and editing the Grub2's menu.lst equivalent. I think this is not optimal.
My second question is about some graphical artifacts in Gnome 3. The T420s uses Intel HD 3000 Graphics. Sometimes icons in nautilus disapear or get replaced by black planes when hovering over them with the mouse cursor. Similar black planes replacing icons can be observed sometimes in Evolution or Rhythmbox. Furthermore gnome-terminal becomes transparent sometimes when I'm scrolling or switching between powertop2 tabs. Anyone else observed similar issues on their T420s or on other models with an Intel HD 3000? I use several options for the i915 driver but none of them seem to be related to the graphical artifacts. Furthermore I've disabled dVT in the BIOS.
options i915 modeset=1
options i915 i915_enable_rc6=1
options i915 i915_enable_fbc=1
options i915 lvds_downclock=1
options i915 semaphores=1
My last question is about the USB ports on my T420s. I've 3 USB ports, one on the left side (USB2.0) and two (USB3.0 and another USB2.0) on the back side. When I plug in a HD on the left side everything works fine and the filesystem is automatically mounted. When I plug in the same HD on the ports of the back side the HD isn't even recognized. Interestingly when i boot with the HD plugged into the back side ports everything works fine. Can you point me any directions how to solve this problem?
Hopefully sombody using Arch on a T420s has already solved these issues and could share the solutions. Otherwise I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Sincerely yours,
Tobsen
Last edited by tobsen (2012-02-09 17:15:27)

Hi Tobsen, I have a T420 also. Perhaps my experiences will be some help?
Regarding the USB ports: I installed Arch on my T420 with the Kernal 3.0.3 snapshot and all the USB ports worked out of the box. That sounds like a problem with udev to me, though. Have you checked the wiki article on this?
Regarding the graphical artifacts: For me, when a popup window appears from hovering the mouse over an icon, the window is sometimes blank grey. It's totally inconsistent, and I can fix it by just hovering over it again, so I haven't really bothered to examine the source of the problem. Could this be related to your problem with the GPU? I figured it was a problem with the windows manager I'm using (Enlightenment e17), which is unstable.
Regarding UEFI: I don't use GRUB2, so this may not be good advice, but I personally feel like you should avoid auto-mounting partitions you don't always need. It slows down boot, and if the partition is mounted, user error could damage it. I say you should keep doing what you're doing.

A question about clip size....

This might be one of those REALLY stupid questions, but I've not seen anything about it in this forum.....
First off, I have an iMac G5, with iLife 04. I've had decent luck with iMovie, but now I have a challenge. I'm a musician, and recently, an audience member taped a show of mine- it turned out pretty good. I played a little over an hour.
Well- I know from past experience that when I load the video from the digital recorder into iMovie, clips will be no longer than 9:28.
So my question: what's the best strategy to take for making an iMovie project so that each song is it's own clip/chapter? (of course, this is for the purpose of then making a dvd in iDvd... :)) Is there a way that I can, in real time while the footage is loading, "manually" insert where the clips should be with a keystroke or something like that? I suppose that I could pause the player at the end of each song and "force" iMovie to see it as a clip. But I'm thinking that would lead to a somewhat disjointed viewing experience...
All apologies if this is a truly stupid question....
Jeff

Hi David,
This is good information to know- thank you!
Once the clips are in the viewer, would I be able to insert chapter points (like at the beginning of songs), or will there be an automatic chapter point every 9 minutes?

Questions about Clipping Warnings

I'm not certain if i'll be able phrase my question correctly or clearly, i'll try my best. Pardon me if it comes across wrong or ignorant.
I open a raw file in Camera Raw. I adjust the basic sliders such that the Highlight Clipping Warning arrow is Black. I assume that because it's black, there is no clipping in the highlights, and by that my understanding is that there is still printable details. I then process the file and open in Photoshop. When i place a cursor over the highlight area, the info reads 254 254 254. Am i right to say that at these numbers, there really isn't any printable details? At what numbers will there be printable details in the highlights?.....and for shadows?
I suspect that my understanding and assumptions made above may be flawed. Please advise.
Thank you!

> I assume that because it's black, there is no clipping in the highlights, and by that my understanding is that there is still printable details.
Yes to the no clipping, no to the "printable details" because that's entirely dependent on the output. And because it's dependent on the output, you'll need to either soft proof or otherwise test and see where the point is that neither extreme highlight or deep shadow produces image data that is not "printable".

[SOLVED] Question about Feh

I installed feh to use as a file browser image launcher (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fe … e_Launcher) and as a desktop wallpaper manager (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fe … er_manager), but it seems that I each time must use "sudo" for this. Therefore I think the script from the wiki page will not launch in Thunar and that the wallpaper will not load on start up in i3. In order to do this, I think I must add my user to a group, but I'm not sure which one or if it is the right way to solve it. Would you please assist me with this and thank you in advance.
Last edited by rayanamukami (2014-04-26 09:32:36)

Thank you for your advice, I should not use sudo as often as I do.
In Thunar opening an image with the feh_browser.sh script gives the following message.
Failed to execute application "feh_browser.sh".
Failed to execute child process "/home/kohaku/feh_browser" (Permission denied).
For the wallpaper, I followed the wiki page about i3 (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/I3 … _wallpaper). The following command gives the following message.
$ feh --bg-scale /path/to/image.file
feh WARNING: /home/kohaku/.feh/wallpaper/touhou.png - No read access
feh ERROR: Unable to load image /home/kohaku/.feh/
I have added

[SOLVED] Question about bash

The default .bashrc file looks like this. When installing rvm I noticed that it is not sourcing scripts under /etc/profile.d.
# ~/.bashrc
# If not running interactively, don't do anything
[[ $- != *i* ]] && return
alias ls='ls --color=auto'
PS1='[\u@\h \W]\$ '
I just solved my issue by adding the following code to .bashrc. I was just wondering if this should be done by default perhaps in the package that installs /etc/skel/.bashrc?
if [ -f /etc/profile ]; then
. /etc/profile
fi
Last edited by MikeW (2014-11-12 05:28:25)

Seems that it is an rvm issue. After a bit of searching for rvm problems I found this post that gave me the rvm specific solution. This is probably the preferred fix since its just rvm that's the issue here.
http://askubuntu.com/questions/40287/et … ng-sourced
The key is serveral posts down...
Installing RVM as multiuser requires the user to run this command:
echo '[[ -s "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" ]] && . "/etc/profile.d/rvm.sh" # Load RVM function' >> ~/.bashrc
So I can remove the /etc/profile bit now. Thanks for stearing me in the right direction to fix this.

*Solved* Question about ATI Drivers

Ok, I'm just finished installing, and I know most distro's, ask you to remove the open source drivers, before adding in FGLRX drivers. Looking at the wiki, I didn't noticed if this needed to be done, and after going through the install, I rebooted. It went as planned until kdm went to load. The screen was unreadable. I used the cd media to mount root, and removed catalyst, and re-installed the opensource drivers. All is well atm, so I'm trying to figure out what I missed. My question atm though is during the FGLRX install, it ask's if you want to removed the opensource drivers due to conflict. If I hit yes, will pacman it automatically remove the required drivers, or do I need to manually remove the Fx86 drivers on my own?
I do apologize for not having a /etc/X11/xorg.conf report, as it slipped my mind while fixing everything. I'll try to make a better habbit of getting it made. I did do a aticonig --inital before the reboot, so i know it won't that.
If I missed anything on the wiki, please let me know, I'll look again at it after dinner.
Thank you all for your time in the matter.

Hi there
First off, which installation method are you following? (ABS using the AUR package, the unofficial repository or the AMD installer). Depending on which method you use, you'll have (or not) a resolved dependency. For instance, you have to remove both the open source driver and your former xorg.conf file (safer is to back it up) to be able to install Catalyst with the AMD's site installer.
If you use AUR (with a tool like Yaourt for example) or the repo method, pacman/yaourt should do it for you, but in a lot of cases it doesn't (I switched to Catalyst having my OpenBox session built already, so when I tried to remove the open source driver it complained about all of the apps that I had installed for removing a dependency like libgl or mesa) and you'll have to do a pacman -Rdd xf86-video-ati to make it work
I'm wondering if you remembered to add the mkinitcpio hook (which is needed to make Catalyst work).
What I would suggest is to re-read the wiki page for Catalyst, see if your card is still supported by Catalyst, maybe your card needs Catalyst-Legacy...
Best of Luck with that
I figured it out, and got it working. I had a typo adding the module for flgxr driver. Fixed it and a soft boot later, all is well. I also deicided to make it so I have to "startx" into my gui, incase this happens again, I won't need the installation media. Thanks for the input.

And they show up fine: http://sprunge.us/MKBj

Until a better explanation comes along, I've added this info to the BG:
Don't worry if some of the letters show up as white squares or as other symbols. It's probably just the console font missing those glyphs. The glyph codes are correct and if you press the correct keys they will show up fine when (or if) you set up a graphical environment later.

[SOLVED]Questions about a shell program and about shell: files, regexp

Hello, I'm writing this little program in shell:
#!/bin/bash
# Synopsis:
# Read from an inputfile each line, which has the following format:
# lllnn nnnnnnnnnnnnllll STRING lnnnlll n nnnn nnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ll ll
# where:
# n is a <positive int>
# l is a <char> (no special chars)
# the last set of ll ll could be:
# - NV
# - PV
# Ex:
# AVO01 000060229651AVON FOOD OF ARKHAM C A S060GER 0 1110 000000022 00031433680006534689 NV PV
# The program should check, for each line of the file, the following:
# I) If the nn of character lllnn (beggining the line) is numeric,
# this is, <int>
# II) If the character ll ll is NV (just one set of ll) then
# copy that line in an outputfile, and add one to a counter.
# III) If the character ll ll is NP (just one set of ll) then
# copy that line in an outputfile, and add one to a counter.
# NOTICE: could be just one ll. Ex: [...] NV [...]
# [...] PV [...]
# or both Ex: [...] NV PV [...]
# Execution (after generating the executable):
# ./ inputfile outputfileNOM outputfilePGP
# Check the number of arguments that could be passed.
if [[ ${#@} != 3 ]]; then
echo "Error...must be: myShellprogram <inputfile> <outputfileNOM> <outputfilePGP>\n"
exit
fi
#Inputfile: is in position 1 on the ARGS
inputfile=$1
#OutputfileNOM: is in position 2 on the ARGS
outputfileNOM=$2
#OutputfilePGP: is in position 3 on the ARGS
outputfilePGP=$3
#Main variables. Change if needed.
# Flags the could appear in the <inputfile>
# ATTENTION!!!: notice that there is a white space
# before the characters, this is important when using
# the regular expression in the conditional:
# if [[ $line =~ $NOM ]]; then [...]
# If the white space is NOT there it would match things like:
# ABCNV ... which is wrong!!
NOM=" NV"
PGP=" PV"
#Counters of ocurrences
countNOM=0;
countPGP=0;
#Check if the files exists and have the write/read permissions
if [[ -r $inputfile && -w $outputfileNOM && -w $outputfilePGP ]]; then
#Read all the lines of the file.
while read -r line
do
code=${line:3:2} #Store the code (the nnn) of the "llnnn" char set of the inputfile
#Check if the code is numeric
if [[ $code =~ ^[0-9]+$ ]] ; then
#Check if the actual line has the NOM flag
if [[ $line =~ $NOM ]]; then
echo "$line" >> "$outputfileNOM"
(( ++countNOM ))
fi
#Check if the actual line has the PGP flag
if [[ $line =~ $PGP ]]; then
echo "$line" >> "$outputfilePGP"
(( ++countPGP ))
fi
else
echo "$code is not numeric"
exit
fi
done < "$inputfile"
echo "COUN NON $countNOM"
echo "COUN PGP $countPGP"
else
echo "FILE: $inputfile does not exist or does not have read permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfileNOM does not exist or does not have write permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfilePGP does not exist or does not have write permissions"
fi
I have some questions:
I) When I do:
if [[ -r $inputfile && -w $outputfileNOM && -w $outputfilePGP ]]; then
else
echo "FILE: $inputfile does not exist or does not have read permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfileNOM does not exist or does not have write permissions"
echo "FILE: $outputfilePGP does not exist or does not have write permissions"
fi
I would like to print the things on the else, accordingly, this is, print the right message. Ex: if "$outputfileNOM" did not have the write permission, just print that error. BUT, I don't want to put a lot of if/else, Ex:
if [[ -r $inputfile ]]; then
if [[-w $outputfileNOM ]] then
else
For the READ permission, and the other for the WRITE
Is there a way to do it, without using a nesting approach, and that maintains the readability.
II) About the:
if [[ -r $inputfile && -w $outputfileNOM && -w $outputfilePGP ]]
is OK if I use the flag "-x" instead of -r or -w. I don;t have a clear definition of what is the meaning of:
-x FILE
FILE exists and execute (or search) permission is granted
III) Notice the ATTENTION label in my code. I notice that there are some possibilities, for ex: having white spaces before, after or before or after. I'm believing in the consistency of the input files, but if they change, it will explode. What could I do in this case? Is there an elegant way to manage it? (exceptions?)
Thank you very much!
EDIT: corrected what rockin turtle wrote bellow about the format. Thank you.
Last edited by gromlok (2011-10-09 18:39:03)

I) Regarding your if statement, you could do something like this:
estr='FILE: %s does not exist or does not have %s permissions.\n'
[ -r $inputfile ] || ( printf "$estr" "$inputfile" "read" && exit 1 )
[ -w $outputfileNOM ] || ( printf "$estr" "$outputfileNOM" "write" && exit 1 )
[ -w $outputfilePGP ] || ( printf "$estr" "$outputfilePGP" "write" && exit 1 )
II)The -r/-w/-x mean that the file has the read/write/execute bit set. Do a
$ man chmod
for details.
III) You should be able to do
if [[ "$line" =~ .*\<NV\> ]]; then
echo "..."
(( countNOM++ ))
fi
but that didn't work for me when I tried it. I don't know if this is a bug in bash, or (more likely) something that I am doing wrong.
Regardless, I would write your script like this:
#!/bin/bash
file=$(egrep '^[A-Z]..[0-9]{2}' "$1")
grep '\<NV\>' <<< "$file" > "$2"
grep '\<PV\>' <<< "$file" > "$3"
echo 'Count NON:' $(wc -l < "$2")
echo 'Count PGP:' $(wc -l < "$3")
Note: In reading your script, your comments imply that each line of the input file starts with 'llnnn' but the example line you gave starts with 'lllnn'. That is, there are 3 letters (AVO) followed by 2 numbers (01). The above script assumes that lines start with 'lllnn'

I'll bet pressh is on the job! Hmmm... I don't recall seeing any announcement about a big change in getting enlightenment in arch. Maybe I missed something?

[Solved] Questions about netcfg

Hello,
I just set up a very basic Arch install and to keep in this spirit, I decided to go with netcfg. I got it all working but I do have some questions, especially about it I need certain packages.
1: At home we have a wifi network that is secured with WPA. I take it, according to the wiki, that I have to use wpa_actiond for this? Or is this just for roaming? (as this part of the wiki suggests "required for automatic/roaming wireless connections".)
2: I'm using wifi-select as well for when I'm on the go. I have added this information as suggested per the wiki to /etc/rc.conf, to automatically connect to my home network? Is this redundant when using wifi-select and/or will this interfere with wifi-select when I want to connect to another network?
I'm a little struggling with the English to get my point across in these questions but I think you'll understand. If not, I'll try to elaborate a little more. Thanks in advance for your help!

I say so, because as I said English is not my first language.

It also says that this is the part of netcfg that requires wpa_actiond. If you usually use your home network, you might opt for the simpler net-profiles and rely on wifi-select for when you occasionally need to connect to some other network; then you can drop wpa_actiond.
Thanks, I get it! I'll mess around with it tomorrow.

[SOLVED] Question about systemd-user-session

Hi!
I'm trying to setup a systemd --user session (using user-session-units and xorg-launch-helper from aur).
I have a couple of questions; this is my .xinitrc now:
#!/bin/bash
export BROWSER=chromium
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
spacefm --desktop &
compton -cGCf -m 0.9 -i 0.8 -D 5 --shadow-exclude 'g:e:Conky' &
volumeicon &
/home/federico/Script/touchpadoff_onboot.sh &
#connman-ui-gtk &
/home/federico/Script/calised-script &
dimdaemon &
tint2 -c .config/tint2/dragonauta.tint2rc &
conky -p 5 -c Script/conky.conf &
exec openbox
1) is "if" statement required when using systemd-user-session? And if yes, how can I reproduce it?
2) "conky -p 5 " will wait 5 seconds doing nothing. Will this mean that other .service will wait for it to finish? (i guess no, since they're executed in parallel).
3) how can I export "chromium" as my default browser?
Thank you very much!

I followed everything in that wiki, and in KaiSforza and sofar github page.
I finally managed to get my old method (autologin to vt and autostart x) to work together with systemd --user: i put in .xinitrc "systemd --user" and deleted everything else.
So, my .config/systemd/user/ works. The problem is in the [email protected], i guess. I configured it like wiki says, mind to post here your /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]?
Thanks.
