A simple thank you from an avid Linux user

I realize this is not necessarily the place to post this but I just want to send a simple thanks to the Spotify team for offering a nicely packaged Linux client.  As an avid, not recreational, Linux user I am always impressed and pleased to find organizations that stand with those of us who love Linux/BSD.  And the client works quite well and isn't buggy (so far).  So two thumbs up to you guys.  This alone will keep me a loyal paying subscriber to the Spotify service. Tyler

  • Thank you from an iOS 6 user and a question

    Thank you for sorting out the problem for iOS 6 users. All my work documents are on there and I nearly had a coronary when they had disappeared.
    Is there any way I can back up docs saved in the app on my PC or is this done through iTunes?

  • [Solved] Avid Linux user coming back after years lost in installation

    Edit:
    Solution --> https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 7#p1380897
    Hi o/
    Years ago, I can't remember how many, I got a new pc. I tried to install archlinux, but couldn't get grub to load at all. I tried countless times after that, and always had to resort to win to save my ass because of how lost I was. Until one day I didn't come back. The mere thought of having to research the forums, looking for an answer nobody seemed to have, made me cringe so much that I ended up giving up. "I'll try again in some months, when this motherboard is less 'new'", I thought, but months became years.
    Now I'm back, but I'm as lost as I was back then. All I remember is that my motherboard has some kind of "hybrid efi/bios" system of some sort that ended up being a pain in the ass for me and my old ways of installing arch, which seem to be relatively outdated.
    So, to the point, can someone point me in some kind of direction to go?
    I know the wiki, and I've read the new installation guide superficially, but I'm not sure what to do when it comes to EFI vs BIOS. I can't completely format my hdd atm because I have no means of backing the information up, but the drive is partitioned in my old fashioned way (1win, 2storage, 3lnx, 4swap), so I hope that won't be a problem (GPT don't give me headaches, plz).
    Should I repartition my drive entirely? Do I need a new partition table? Do I need a boot partition? Can I install archlinux, win and have an storage partition + swap partition, all at the same time? Can I just choose to not use EFI at all, or should I upgrade entirely?... so many questions, but no clues on where to head to get this solved.
    I crave to come back to archlinux. I miss it so much! I hope I can find the answer this time and settle this topic once and for all.
    Thanks in advance

    And your question is?
    Seriously, you say you have read the wiki "superficially"? Read it carefully.
    You seem to want to know how to dual boot Arch with an existing Windows (and perhaps another Linux distro) on a UEFI/GPT setup. There is a page for that.
    If you can't backup your current system, then you have only one option: use what you have, be it a UEFI or MBR setup.
    If you need specific details, ask for those. If you need your hand held, you are out of luck.
    I know I'm not asking for specifics, and I know the archlinux community is awesome at resolving issues when you specify decently enough, but the idea was to start somewhere. That was the question, but I guess I could have phrased it differently. Problem is that I can't really be specific when I'm so lost.
    By superficially I mean reading it several times, but without actually trying all of the steps to the very end (got stuck at efi,gpt, bios, etc). I've followed the steps carefully several times (at least 5-6 times if I recall correctly), until I rebooted and grub didn't load at all. The bios said something like "Loading operating system..." but nothing happened (can't remember the words exactly, but it says that on every boot). Tried changing the bios config to "efi, bios and automatic" on different installations, but none seemed to work.
    About partitions, can I keep my MBR setup as it is and still be able to make grub load in this motherboard? I think I might be missing some information, because I used to install archlinux with a bios/mbr setup without any problems whatsoever. The only thing I think I haven't tested is formatting the hdd entirely and changing to GPT, which is what I would like to avoid if I can. If you think there is something I should try anyway just let me know. If you think I should read some specific wiki article on the topic let me know too.
    I don't want my hand held, that just totally makes no sense. I'm just looking for some pointers to break through the wall, which could mean reading articles that I think I've already read 1000 times. I'll read that page carefully, no doubt. Thank you for pointing the (for others) obvious, but not so obvious to me. You helped me remember a lot stuff that I tried back then.
    nomorewindows wrote:You'd have easier times partitioning and making better use of your space with GPT.  With x86_64 version of Windows 7 it should play nicely with EFI and GPT.  This is where you'd need to start.  Linux doesn't care about whether it is GPT, or MBR.  I have FreeBSD and Arch nicely working together on GPT/BIOS.  You could run win under qemu-kvm for those just have to compulsively run win applications that won't run under wine.  There are several forum topics on EFI/Windows and Arch.
    I'll try reading about the whole efi-gpt-bios-mbr topic again. I want to avoid formatting as much as I can, but I will eventually change if no other option seems to work.
    About qemu, the last time I checked virtual machines didn't work with 3d acceleration good enough to handle the few videogames that are not supported by wine that I play. Those games are the only thing that keep win running in my system. If I manage to install arch I will consider your recommendation and test it all again.

    The answer to all these questions is "you choose".
    Sit down and work out your ideal set up
    Install that set up
    If you get stuck then post details of what you've tried and ask a specific question
    If you cock it up or decide after a while you don't like that set up, scrub it and start again
    You have a point. Starting from scratch might actually be ideal. The problem is that I wanted to avoid formatting as much as I could. I will try to find a way to back the information up, just in case I find any, because, if I do, the whole thing would become a lot easier to handle.

  • Is there a way to detect all the photos already transferred to double (or triple) in iPhoto, so do not occupy space unnecessarily? Thank you from France.

    Is there a way to detect all the photos already transferred to double (or triple) in iPhoto, so do not occupy space unnecessarily? thanks from France

    Look in you main photo library. Are there doubles or triple photos there? If so delete the extras.
    All photos are stored in the photo library. When you move a photo into an album the photo is not duplicated. The album contains a pointer back to the original photos. These pointers or aliases take up very little space.

  • Late 2013 iMac 27".  Used boot camp and installed windows 7 pro.  While in Windows 7, in my pc the mac os does not show.  Is there anyway to fix this outside of restoring entire computer and trying again.  Thank you from a mac newbie

    Hello.  I bought a new iMac 27" with the following specs:
    3.5GHz Intel Core i7 Quad-Core (Haswell)
    32GB of 1600MHz DDR3 RAM
    3TB Fusion Drive
    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M Graphics (4GB)
    27" LED-Backlit IPS Display
    2560 x 1440 Native Resolution
    802.11ac/a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0
    Thunderbolt, USB 3.0, SDXC Card Reader
    720p FaceTime HD Camera, Dual Mics
    Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (64-bit)
    After installing all Mac update, used Bootcamp to create a Windows 7 drive.  Everything went fine to a point.  While in my Mac OS i can see the windows partition just fine and see/edit documents.  However, when in the Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, I cannot see the mac os in my computer at all. 
    Can someone please help this mac owner newbie?  This process worked fine on my mac mini and i have no troubles.  It is just on my new iMac that it wont work/show the highlighted paragraph above
    Any ideas and/or help would be greatly appreciated.

    I understand that much.  On my MAC Mini, if you look above at original post, I CAN see both OS while in the Windows 7 partition or the MAC OS.  This is NOT the case on my iMac.  Again, when in the MAC OS I can see the windows partion and move information between the two that way.  When in the WINDOWS partition, the only one that shows is the Windows OS from my computer or network.  The only way you can tell its even a MAC is the bootcamp icon in the bottom right corner of toolbar.  Both have same version of MAC OS so both should work same way..  When i double click on my computer, it should show both the Windows drive AND the MAC (as does my mini and another iMac 21.5 that i have).  This iMac does not do that - only shows windows.

  • Solaris 10 - impressions from a GNU/Linux user

    Firstly, this isnt flame bait, honest!
    Until 10, I hadnt seen Solaris since rev6, then, I was worn (then) down by trying to configure a dial up model hacking chap scripts. Anyhow, I thought I'd look at Solaris 10, seeing as it was 'free' to play with. What follows summarises my feelings after looking at it again.
    Download and install went smoothly, even the accompanying freeware DVD was installed in its entiretly to add all that utility/application-candy that makes a platform usable, or more than usable.
    OK, so the java desktop is actually pretty good but now what? There is a dearth of anything useful in the distribution, all but the cut down linux distros come with a wide range of applications and supporting tools, they 'just work', and cusomizing program access paths to include all the freeware bin folders etc etc is not necessary, unlike Solaris with its truly painful packaging structure.
    Solaris seems to have changed a great deal since I last used it, but as I spend most days running Linux development and deployment systems I had some expectations of what I should (by now) be able to do with Solaris. After observing the lack of configuration files I stumbled accross the web 'tool' to do the configuration (there were no default desktop shortcuts, no menu links, nothing - even under CDE), I was beginning to get that '6' feeling again.
    What do people do after an install, they configure the network and set the hostname up.
    I personally found the network configuration a royal pain. Using any other linux distro (suse and its yast configurator, gnome or kde configuration tools etc) all make the experience painless.
    For the gigabytes of downloads I kind of expected something that would be useful out of the box. Yes, I can go and download xyz from sun freeware one package at a time but COME ON! After using Debian based UBUNTU perhaps Im spoiled by the Synaptic package manager. I was honestly shocked, thinking there must be something I'm missing but once again I could not find a single reason to switch to Solaris for my use (development, or deployment).
    Im sure there are those who would tout Solaris as rugged, scalable, secure etc but all of that is irrelavent to me and my usage. From my perspective the targetted user base for Solaris appears to be narrow.
    I can appreciate the licencing issues involved and that may indeed be the reason why many additional tools arent provided. In any event, I cant think of any reason to keep Solaris 10 installed, I can do everything I need with Linux with less effort thanks to the range of GNU/open source apps readily available.
    If it works for you thats great, Im sure there will be plenty of points and my lack of time spent (a) reading (b) configuring (c) dowloading and compiling, but to be honest, I havent got the time!

    compiing packages one at a time is possible but is
    prone to non-trivial issues over symbols etc etc.
    Never mind it takes time to find the source package
    from website x, install the package, compile the
    package, fixup your paths ready for running, try and
    figure out if the app needs an icon in the menus -
    and figure out how to do that too.Or, as you mentioned you could use Sunfreeware or the Companion CD with the caveat that you've already mentioned.
    Contrast this method with the APT/Synaptic package
    manager a) search by keyword for app (eg firewall)
    from multiple repositories with thousands of
    applications etc, select and hit go, it resolves its
    own dependencies, it downloads, it installs, it just
    runs, its integrated immediately with no further
    effort. Blinding!Must be nice!
    There are some apps that actually do this on Solaris. If they use the Midnight Commander shell on the download page I've had things like version 2 of Nessus configure, compile and install itself automatically.
    These are few and far between though.
    What I expected to do with Solaris is to be able to
    configure it quickly and painlessly (nope), to be
    able to install categories of apps I know I want but
    dont immediately know where they are stored, maybe
    sunfreeware.com maybe not (nope, no package manager
    or anything similar), to be able to not care about 'I
    need this library or that library' to resolve
    dependencies and just install it! (nope). As I said,
    I guess Im spoilled by APT/Synaptic, its a killer app
    for the platform, making it more than useful.For Solaris I'm not aware of anything close to what you're describing.
    compilers, apache, tomcat, evolution for M$Exchange
    email intergration, eclipse even, never mind media
    players & codecs. All without so much as a website
    trawl/comipile/fixup cycle.I've heard that the Companion CD along with the Java Desktop Environment should get you most of what is listed above, but that uses the Companion CD and the caveat.
    GNU/Linux experience. I asked myself the question,
    how much effort would I have to put in to get running
    at least a good portion of what I currently have? The
    answer that led to my post was too much.From what you're describing it isn't that it couldn't be done, the issue is that it could be done, but going forward with Solaris would be more work than what you're currently doing, not a bad assumption.

  • Overdue "Thank You" Post

    Well, I have been thinking of posting this for a long time...
    This is a simple "Thank You" post to Arch developers, package maintainers, and mods...
    In Arch, everything is near perfect... This is the only distro which has stayed on my HDD for such a long time and now it is my primary desktop
    I tried many distros before Arch and still keep trying just for experiment, but I found Arch the best of all...
    Also, a special thanks to experienced Arch users (yes, all those Power-users, Linux-addicts etc. etc.,  like Phracture, Dusty, sarah, Mr. green to name a few). All you people make Arch forum interesting... I enjoy your arguments (command-line Vs Gui ...
    Jokes apart, you people seem to know your stuff...
    Anyway, I close this post here. Thank you Arch.

    NOTE: I'm just an archlinux user.
    It's nice to see happy people (I'm also one) about Arch. If you feel like helping thaking even more, you can always donate some money to ArchLinux, or at least use other than the ftp.archlinux.org (eg. a mirror)

    My computer wont let me download MP3 rocket because it says its in DOS mode.  Im 14 so if someone could help me turn it off step by step thank you.

    From what I know, MP3 Rocket is a program that will only work on a Windows computer. They don't make a version that will work on a Mac.
    If you need to convert Youtube files to MP3, then you may want to try Smart Converter. It is available in the App Store for free. Just launch App Store, then look in the Top Charts section, under FREE, select "see all", and look for the the download shown below.

    any suggestion welcome and deelpy appreciated
    thank you from clairebear
    ps the ipod says software version 4.2.1

    You can't sync without a backup taken.
    Try to delete the ipod backup, it seems that iTunes can't read it anymore. Before you do, make sure to back up the folder, in case you need it again.
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
    copied from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    After you backed up the folder, delete the backup from the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Then try again to sync.

    This probably isn't the right place for it, but my podcast partner, Madeline, and I both wanted to thank the staff of the iTunes' Podcast directory for featuring our humble show in such a prominent location on the front page of the directory.

    I think you already need to have some SJSWS server definitions.. I just followed the exact steps you listed (install nb 6.8, install sjsws plugin, select Tools / Servers) and no window appears.. the key factor here: I told it to import my nb 6.7 settings which includes some sjsws server definitions. I had this same problem when sjsws plugin was first available for nb 6.5. I looked back at that thread ( http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5349413 ) and saw mention of particular java versions.. so I should mention I used Java 6u13 with nb 6.7, but when I installed nb 6.8 I switched to 6u17.
