Starting out with WMII, questions...[SOLVED]

I've installed WMII on both my computers. It's working well on my sabayon box, but on my arch netbook, it's not showing in the KDM menu.
The other thingg I want to query is trransparency. Do I need xcompmgr, or do I just edit my .wmiirc?
Aside from that, I'm loving tiling thus far

Could you please file a bug report agains wmii?
It seems some WMs put their .desktop file in /etc/X11/sessions and some put it in /usr/share/xsessions.
$ ls /etc/X11/sessions
evilwm.desktop kde-safe.desktop ratpoison.desktop
kde.desktop pekwm.desktop xmonad.desktop
$ ls /usr/share/xsessions/
awesome.desktop openbox.desktop openbox-kde.desktop wmfs.desktop
i3.desktop openbox-gnome.desktop scrotwm.desktop wmii.desktop
Shouldn't this be standardized?

Starting out with cRIO

Hello,
What's the most inexpensive way to start programming for FPGA cRIO based applications? I'm interested in learning to develop for an FPGA and cRIO but can't afford the cRIO, is there an inexpensive way to simulate for these (I think even the realtime drivers may be expensive)
I found this RIO eval kit, but I'm not sure if it's what I need to start learning cRIO/FPGA LabVIEW development?
http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/205722
much thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Yes - I agree with GerdW that the myRIO is a great way to get started with cRIO & RT/FPGA programming. It's very easy to set up and use.
I recently used one for a personal project - making a giant version of Tetris! (https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-35435)
I can also recommend the eval kit - it comes with a single board RIO an addon board that contains lots of useful things for starting out with RT/FPGA programming (an LCD display, analogue input/outputs that are linked, some push-buttons etc.). I currently have one on my desk at work as we've been doing some stuff recently with LCD displays. They also have onboard CAN (e.g. automotive) so if you're interested in doing anything with that then I don't think you can do that with the myRIO.
If you can't get the myRIO cheaply enough (because you're not a student - but it's worth talking to NI anyway) then the eval kit is a bit more representative of what it's like to use a cRIO and you can get further with it without needing any additional hardware.

[GeForce 6] Do both 6800GT need same revision# & bios? Can I start out with 1?

My plan for my signature system was to order one 6800GT after posts said 1 6800GT=2 6600GT & I'd be better off starting out with one 6800GT rather than 2 6600Gt. I'd get the 2d one maybe in a year or two.
Now it appears there's some caveats.....do both 6800GT's have to be the same revision, bios and something called ERP. That is, if I bought the 2d 6800GT in a year or two, will it work with the earlier one, or is there going to be some manufacturing version level problem pop up?
If I can get the identical revision question nailed down, I think I can go ahead and order all the parts.
Regards, Ron

Ron,
Do not worry about the BIOS of the Vid Card, they very rarely change. When it comes time, you just want to get another card that is same specs. Since you have an MSI NX6800GT-T2D256E, just get another MSI NX6800GT-T2D256E, that will give you the best chance at stability. You could use a 6800GT from another brand but for max stability I would try to get two matched Vid Cards.
Take Care,
Richard
P.S. You will find most GeForce Vid Cards on the market stick to the reference design, so they are about identical.

My address book and iPhone pics have become low resolution. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening when I start out with a higher resolution picture?

I guess I squeezed my entire issue into the subject line. lol When I sync my iphone to my laptop I notice that all my address book pics and iphone pics have become lower resolution, even though I started out with the resolution that I really needed to produce decenty address book printouts. I doubt I can correct the losses of resolution that have occurred but can anyone help me figure out how to prevent future losses? Thank you!

Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am.

Just Starting out with java packages

Hello,
I'm a beginner and I'm starting out with java packages.
I wrote two simple .java files, one test program and one containing a simple class.
Both files are compiling without errors but When I run the program I get an error NoClassDeffoundError.
I use the import <package> statement And I think I'm using the CLASSPATH variable correctly.
SET CLASSPATH=d:\nopol
path for the .java containing the test class is:
d:\nopol\utilities \myapp.
In the test file I use "import utilities.myapp.*.
I would be very happy if anyone could help me
Thanks beforehand
Nopol.

The test file should be in d:\nopol, if it's not a part of your package utilities.myapp. Everything should be compiled from d:\nopol, the test class with "javac ClassName.java" and the class in the package with "javac utilities/myapp/ClassName.java".
Your classpath seems fine for now, though. But yes, do add the period there, otherwise you could run into problems later.

Starting out with ejb help

hi,
i'm starting out with ejb, know java and jsp servlets, and seem to be having trouble getting the first example running, i'm using Jboss_3.2.1.
1. Where is the javax.ejb package? i have sdk 1.4.1, but don't see the package in there.
2. Using JBoss where do i put the source and complied files? the book just shows the structure as:
-classes
-com
-brainysoftware
-ejb
-meta-inf
but where do i put this, there is no instructions as to where the classes and meta-inf go? i understand that the .jar goes in the deploy directory but what if i want to store the source and complied in jboss also?
3. when running a servlet, client, from tomcat do i have to run both tomcat and jboss together? The book just mentioned that i needed to copy the ebj.jar, jboss-client.jar, jnp-client.jar and the Adder.jar (example build) into my lib for tomcat, but why do i need the Adder.jar (the example built), isn't that suppose to run from jboss not from tomcat?
Thank you.

1.) You find the package javax.ejb in the following file: $JBOSS_HOME/client/jboss-j2ee.jar
2.) JBoss doesn't need your source-files. To install your EJBs you must copy a Enterprise Archive (*.ear), which including the jar-file with your EJB, in the directory $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy. This is the directory for hot-deployment of the default-configuration. You could also copy the jar-file with your EJBs into this directory.
3.) JBoss has always a web-server, either tomcat or jetty. Both are servlet-engines. You doesn't need another tomcat instance. In your web-application you need all classes of a EJB, that you call, for example the remote-home- and the remote-interface of a session bean and the classes of value-objects. This is the reason, because you need the adder.jar. The better way is, you include all necessary files in your war-file.

Why does IPhoto create duplicates of photos and graphics that is on my Mac when I import Photostream. I started out with 4000 photos now I have almost 28,000. I am using new Ipad and the Mac is running Mountain Lion

Why does IPhoto create dupicates of photos and graphic that is on My Mac when I import the photos from Photo stream to the library? I started out with about 4,000 photos when I transferred everything from my PC. I use a new IPad and IPhone to take the photos. The Mac is running Mountain Lion 10.8.2 3.1 Intel prosessor. I am using IPhoto 11.
Thanks in advance

there is an app called daisydisk on mac app store which will help you see exactly where the memory is focused and consumed try using that app and see which folders are using more memory

Has anyone started out with creative cloud photography and later upgraded to the full bundle?

Has anyone started out with creative cloud photography and later upgraded to the full bundle?

Lenora, I'm curious about the same thing.
I currently have the cloud's Photoshop and Lightroom program, and would like to upgrade to the full Creative Suite.
The listed pricing doesn't distinguish between types of previous customers. I don't know if I'm considered an existing CS customer because I have other individual cloud products, or if I must have already purchased the entire suite in the past. Any insight would be grand.

Starting out with FCP - import and setup question

I believe I have some good gear to begin using FCPX.
iMac 3.4 Ghz Intel Core i7, 4GB RAM, AMD Radeon 1 GB, Lion 10.7.2
Canon EOS 60D Camera
(Have an external drive although it is used for time machine)
Living in Canada
Would like to start using FCPX (dowloaded yesterday) in a relatively simple way to get used to it in small steps.
Is there a list of attributes and hints that would provide any easy start for understanding the best way to setup the camera, preferences on FCPX, import routine including basic event management etc. other thoughts like when should I consider an external drive versus using iMac internal drive ould be appreciated. I have been waching a number of tutorials and reviewing the discussions groups and many of these do get a little complex quickly. Not worried about the complexity in the future just want to start out simply and then progress over time. (Not sure I am ready to understand all the codec complexities that get a lot of attention just yet.)
Will keep looking at discussion groups and tutorials to advance my learning although any pointers to well thought out "newbie" information would be helpful (5000 discussions is a lot to go through). Also do I need Compressor and Motion out of the gate?
Thanks

4 GB RAM is barely enough (despite what Apple say). FCP X is very RAM hungry.
(Have an external drive although it is used for time machine)
Particularly with an iMac, I recommend you put your Media, Events and Projects on an exclusive, fast external HD formatted 'Mac OS Extended' (not necessarily journaled - it doesn't matter for video).

Shouldn't present any problems : )

Depends on what you want to do - particularly regarding drive space. If you're prepared to spend a little money on external HD space, then I would import all your footage as ProRes 422 - your iMac will find it far easier to edit and play back.
The downside of ProRes is that it takes up between 5 and 7 times more drive space than your (highly compressed) camera footage.
Also do I need Compressor and Motion out of the gate?
No - strictly speaking you don't - but I wouldn't be without either of them.
I don't know the 60D (I have a 5D Mk2) but I suggest the footage might be inclined towards high contrast and sharpening by default (as with the 5D 2). If the menu allows you to reduce the contrast and saturation (probably by as much as it will allow) you will have much more leeway when it comes to colour grading.
The footage won't look so amazing when you first import it, but you can do more with it. On the 5D 2 I get about two stops more latitude with exposure this way.
I also reduce sharpening to about half what the camera default - remember, the manufacturer wants you to be blown away by the first images you get from your camera - so they set the colour, contrast and sharpening at levels which are far too high for good grading.

648f neo - starting out with 200gb ok?

once i get my pc done, is it ok to start out w/ a 200gb drive? during winxp installation, would it identify it? what abouot bios mode?

You can install Windows XP with the 200GB hard drive without a problem, but it would need to be partitioned under the 137 GB limit. So if you set up multiple partitions than it won't be a problem. If you want to do the full 200GB as one hard drive you will need to slipstream your copy of windows xp to include SP1. Best way to do that is do a google search for "slipstreaming windows xp sp1".
In case you didn't know slipstreaming will allow you to merge SP1 files into the windows cd so when you install windows it will already have SP1 installed. The same process works for SP2 (if you are willing to give it a shot)

Starting out with Guitar Recording in Garageband

I started playing guitar about 2 years ago, and I'm just now starting to get interested in composing my own material. Im on an extremely tight budget (I'm broke after buying my first Mac Though I'm very happy with it.) I earlier tried plugging the guitar just strait in (after checking around a bit I didn't expect a whole lot) I found a lot of noise and distortion like I figured. I tried using a cheap amp I own as a pre-amp of sorts, but this just made the problem worse. Its pretty clear that I need another way to record other than the Line-In on the pro. I've looked at USB solutions, but I can't find one that seems to be generally considered "good" for under $200. I'd really like to keep my costs for starting out under $100 if possible. At any rate, if anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Starts up with flashing question mark

When I turned on my iMac this morning it has a flashing gray file with a question mark inside it.

That means it can't find the disk to startup from. Restart holding down the Option key. This may bring you to a screen where the startup disk will show. Select that and continue booting. If you are able to boot successfully, then go to sys prefs>startup disk and be sure your usual startup disk is selected.
If this doesn't help, post back.

AirTunes cut-outs with wired network (solved)

To whom this may be helpful,
There are several discussions about Music cut-outs when using the AirTunes, but all of these discussions were focussing on a wire-less connection.
In my case, however, I have a wired Ethernet connection from my Mac to a 4-port-router, to which the AirPort Express is also connected. I got the first cut-outs about a year ago and it has been gradually getting worse, up to the point where it would cut out after every 5-10 seconds, pausing for 5 seconds. This is when I gave up using AirTunes.
Next, nothing much happened until I noticed a few weeks ago that my network had become notoriously slow. I first suspected a degrading ADSL connection, but I changed my mind when my router died. It turns out that my network performance was gradually degrading due to problems in my router (probably bad memory, forcing it to drop packages when the checksums were incorrect).
After having replaced the router, the network is up and running again as before and AirTunes runs smoothly again. With that in mind, you might like to test other units in your network!
Mac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.9)

I buyed 2 of the Airport Extreme, never got them working fine, till yesterday...
I have A Zyxel ADSL WLAN Router Switch. WPA-PSK as I wanted a secure Network. Both of the AX were connected with static IPs. WLAN was always working fine, but I had many cut outs with airtunes. I wanted a solution with lossles streaming audio with the possibility to connect my Receiver digitally. That's why I bought my first Apple hardware, as I was always told, Apple=Plug'n play. Very frustrating!
I tried other switches, Routers, WLAN adapters and cards, nothing worked. Airfoil does not support multiple speakers yet, so it's useless for me.
In the FAQ of the Airtunes, Apple mentioned to use lower security, as some Computers probably do not have enough power to stream music flawlessly. But my Computers really do have enough power! I think the AX does not have enough power to do that. So I created another wireless network with one of my AX. I set the security to WEP-40bit key and joined this new Network with my other AX. Not the best solution, as I'm now connected to the Internet or to the AX to use Airtunes. Cables could fix that problem, but then I could use a wired system instead...
I use Channel 11 for the AX WLAN (the only clean channel in my area), Multicast to 11, only G mode for Wireless and a 5 characters WEP-40 key and no WDS. Seems to work at the moment.
I hope this will help others with the cut or drop out problem

Starting out with a Cintiq in Adobe Flash - A series of frustratingly unfindable simple questions!

I'm completely new to the Flash IDE, but I have used my Cintiq 13HD with Photoshop in the past. Despite the tablet working well and drawing correctly, so far Flash feels very weird and almost unusable. I've spent hours looking online for answers to these simple questions, and I've found nothing. Please help answer any if you can!
1. Eraser brush size: I have the wacom pen set to brush, and the eraser set to eraser (fairly standard). I can adjust the pen's brush size in the toolbar, but the eraser is stuck at the smallest size! I have set the eraser tool to the max brush size, and when the pen is set to the eraser tool directly it is larger. How do I set the other side of the wacom pen to a larger brush size? And aren't there any keyboard shortcuts to increase/decrease brush size in Flash? (like [ and ] in Photoshop)
2. Brush zoom: The brush size changes when you zoom. People online say the brush size is constant, but this is just wrong. When you zoom to 200%, the brush should be twice as big as it is in 100% zoom. Is there any way to make Flash have this (normal) behavior?
3. Timeline wrapping: Can you make the "step forward one frame" and "step backward one frame" keys (comma and period) wrap the entire timeline, so stepping forward on the last frame goes to frame 1, and stepping backward on frame 1 goes to the last frame? This is crucial for me to animate loops well, and I can't find anything about it online or in preferences. Shift+comma and shift+period are okay workarounds, but they are not ideal, because I have comma and period mapped to buttons on the Cintiq. I need them to wrap!
4. Numerical Brush Thickness: Is there any way to specify a brush thickness with a number? Do I have to use the pen tool to get stroke thickness properties? At the very least, can I use a keyboard shortcut to specify size, instead of clicking on toolbars?
Honestly, I'm at the end of my rope here. I'm almost ready to drop Flash entirely and do this in Illustrator, then animate in Flash when I have everything drawn properly. Why is everything so different, and why can't I find any of these simple questions online?

The long and short of it is no you can't do most of the things you're looking to do as far as the brush is concerned. Flash has ALWAYS increased the brush size as you zoom in and decreased it when it's zoomed out. Why? No clue but it's always been so. You CAN increase the brush size by number though using the Properties box. The eraser is weird in Flash. so much so that I use the Lasso tool and select what I don't want and delete it. Since you're used to Illustrator you might not realize that selecting areas of a brush stroke will NOT select the entire stroke like in Illustrator. you can select only parts. You can also sort of allow for what you're calling timeline wrapping by installing a Command and mapping it to a custom key command. Just make sure there's a key frame at the end of the cycle.
Dropbox - Flash_Select_Next_and_Previous_Keyframes.zip
Also this might do sort of what you want too:
http://www.toonmonkey.com/frameJumper.fla
Finally, Flash is no different than it has ever been and you have to take into consideration that while Illustrator was developed by Adobe, Flash was developed by Macromedia and was then acquired by Adobe years later so you' can't really expect it to work the same. Personally I HATE Illustrator's interface and hate the way it works so I'd hate it if Flash worked like Illustrator!
Anyway, I hope this helps.

It started out with freezing, but now, the system resets automatically...

...everytime I start Vortex. Consiquently, not only is it a game I actually had to pay for, but it's my favorite game on the iPod next to Zuma. Everytime I click on Vortex now, it loads for a little, and resets. I want to play Vortex...
WHEN WILL APPLE RELEASE THE VORTEX UPDATE THAT DOESN'T CRASH??
80GB Video 5.5 Generation Windows XP Vortex rocks, too bad it crashes.

Have you tried all the troubleshooting steps that are available for this kind of problem?
For example, re-syncing/resetting your iPod, reinstalling the game, restoring it, logging off all other users and restarting your computer with your iPod conected (to name a few things off the top of my head):
have you tried all/any of those kind of things?
By the way, if you're wanting Apple representitives to read about this issue, then this wouldn't be the place to post it, as Apple employees rarely look or post on these boards.
I would suggest to fill out the iPod Feedback form, listing what the "Bug Report" is; Apple will read every iPod Feedback note that is sent to them, so that's a way of notifying them.
-Kylene
If any post helps or solves your issue, please mark it that way accordingly. Thank you for helping the boards!
