An idea for a feature - resolving e.g. kde* for all kde-pkgs

first, before i start complaining about a missing feature, pacman is the best package-manager i know, and the system used in archlinux managing the OS parts and inventory of programms in it are simple and great
here the problem that brings me to this idea:
say i want to remove kde
-> what you have now to do: pacman -R kde{???}, well no actually you have first to go to the internet and have a search in the package-section to find out what packages are part of kde (kdebase, kdelibs ...)
here the idea:
what about being able to simply type
pacman -Q kde*
to find out what kde packages are installed on your system ... and futuremore being able to do also
pacman -R kde* #to remove all kde packages
#or
pacman -Rc kde* #to remove all kde and other related to kde packages
the same would be also cool for installing packages
->just to show you what happens now in pacman:
pacman -Q gnome*
Package "gnome*" was not found.
what do you think?

The installing groups is actually already implemented in the beta of 2.6, which is in ftp.archlinux.org/other/pacman
From the ChangeLog itself:
Added group handling, so one can run 'pacman -S kde' and
                install all files from the KDE group
Not sure about the other things though, those sound like some very good ideas that should be considered and hopefully they aren't too hard to implement.

  • New Idea for All Creative Produ

    My friend at school has an Ipod and I noticed that the Ipod screen is somewhat reflecti've... well so is the creative zen's but I noticed that my friends MP3 player can actually be used as a mirror (is tilted correctly) So I was thinking it wouldn't be a bad idea to steal Apples idea of the semi-reflecti've screen, people will like the player not only because it can hold and play all your favourite songs but also because you can see yourself in it.. literally... anyway it's just an idea, something to atleast consider when designing a new MP3 or media player

    That might help a little but glare could be a problem.

    I am having problems with the Preview application.  When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it.   Any ideas on how to resolve this problem?  Thanks for any help

    Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
    If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
    Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
    Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
    How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

  • Where can I send an idea for a new feature.

    I have an idea for a new feature in Illustrator. I'd like to share it to the developers.
    Is there a channel to send your idea?
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the replies.
    I know that this feature does not serve everybody, but I could use it on a weekly basis.
    I don't know if there is a script for this, and if there is, plese let me know it.
    Transparent working window.
    So I could set my whole artboard window transparent and still work on it.
    I could easily and fast trace some shapes from locked PDF's and also directly from the browser without copying the image to my computer.
    The problem is, of course, that Zoom would only work in the graphics in the Illustrator (needless to say) and would not affect to the graphics behind the Illustrator window.
    But still I think I could use it very much.
    For examble I could manually draw simple shapes and logos straight from the customers website, without downloading the poor JPG image.
    Please let me know what you think about it.
    Sorry if there is some mistakes, English is not my native.
    I hope you got the point.

  • A Few Ideas for a Future Photoshop Project

    Sorry, guys.  Everything is installed and working nicely here.  The dog has not eaten my keyboard, and I have not got any points on my CC License (only because the Photoshop cops haven't caught me yet).  So I thought I'd share this nice idea for a photo manipulation project.  There are few truely orginal ideas out there when it comes to art and expression, but I can't say as I have seen this particular one before.  (Close, but not quite)
    So I give you 88 ways to distort a hotel

    A couple of tasters
    I suspect this might have been done with After Effects rather than Photoshop

    When I said "Close, but not quite" in the above post, it was Christophe Huet that came to mind.  I first came across his work some years ago with a series of images that featured homeless down-and-outs sinking into the pathment.  I remember I tried and failed to do the ripples back then.  I do a lot more 3d effects with shading nowadays, so I think I could nail it now.
    He is pretty prolific, so be warned you could spend the next hour scrolling through these.  It's impressive work though, and full of ideas to kick start your own creative juices.

  • #550 5.1.1 RESOLVER.ADR.RecipNotFound; not found ## for all emails to one of my domains

    Hi All
    I can see this question has been asked allot, but none of the answers seem to be the same as my issue
    Exchange  2007 / SBS 2008
    I have 3x domain email addresses for all of my recipients
    @domain1.com (default reply)
    @domain2.com
    @domain3. com
    @domain4.com
    all of a sudden, all emails getting sent to anyone with @domain2.com are bouncing, to start with there was no reponse, but the mail logs were showing "550 5.1.1 User unknown" in the logs
    So I unticked "Block messages to recipients not listed in the GAL" on exhange anti spam, after this the messages were getting to the exchange server, but then getting bounced with the above message
    I have tried removing domain2.com from the email address policy and the acceprted domains, and readding it, but it made no difference 
    all my other domains still work fine, its only this one
    I'm at my wits end with this, if anyone can shed some light it would be appreciated 
    Let me know what other info i need to provide 
    Cheers

    No issues related to the GAL in the event log
    I have disabled all the anti spam features
    first I restarted all the services, no change, then I booted the whole sever and that made no difference 
    all the domains are set up as authoritive
    the domain2.com is a seccondary email address for all users, so
    user1 has
    [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
    I can email successfully to user1 on all emails execpt for [email protected], that bounces, and the same issue occurs for everyone not just mail sent to user1, so its definitely related to domain2.com
    it's really odd
    any other ideas
    Cheers

  • Ideas for Providing User Level Data Backup and Restore

    I'm looking for ideas for implementing a user level application data backup and restore in an Apex app.
    What would be great is to have a user be provided an export file and a way to import this file. A bit overkill but hopefully never needed.
    Another option that is perfectly doable is a report that simply provides a means to create an export of the data. Since I already have an interface I can use an export to interface an export.
    Any thoughts?
    Hopefully I'm missing something already there for an end user to use.

    jlincoln wrote:
    "Do you mean "export" and "import" colloquially, or in the specific sense of the exp/imp/datapump utilities?"': I mean as in imp/exp Oracle utilities. Generally speaking, it would be neat to be able to export and import via an Apex an application. In this hosted environment I don't have that access but would this be a bad idea if you don't care about the existing data in the schema in which the data resides?I can envisage a mechanism using <tt>exp/imp</tt>, but since it requires <tt>dbms_scheduler</tt> external jobs and access to the file system it's highly unlikely to be possible in a hosted environment. (Unless you're doing the hosting?)
    Backup: Necessary for piece of mind and flexibility. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group.
    Restore: Like I said. I am working on a VB/Access user who does this today to get to the point when they can be comfortable with the backups occurring regularly and by the hosting site's DBA group. This is a very small data set. A restore would simply remove existing data and replace it with the new data.My opinion is that time would be better spent working on the user rather than a redundant backup and restore feature. Involve them in a disaster recovery exercise with whoever is hosting the environment to prove that their data is safe. Normally the inclusion of data in regular, effective database backups is sold as a major feature of APEX solutions.
    "What about security/privacy when this data ends up in uncontrolled environments?": I don't understand the point of this question. The data should not end up in uncontrolled environments. Just like the data in the database or its backups.Again, having data in a central, shared location protected by multiple levels of application, database, and OS security is usually seen as a plus for APEX over VB/Access. Exporting the data in toto to a PC/laptop that can be stolen or lost, and where it can be copied to USB drives/phones/email loses this protection.
    User Level: Because the end user must have access to the backup and restore mechanisms of the application.
    Application Data: The application data. Less than 10MB. Very small. It can be exported in a flat file downloaded by the end user. This file can then be used to upload and import via an existing application interface. For example.
    "I'm struggling to parse this for meaning.": When I say I have an existing interface I am referring to a program residing in the Apex application that will take data from a flat table structure (i.e. interface table), validate the data, derive data, and load into the target table structure.Other than the report export capability linked to above, there's nothing built-in to APEX that comes close to your requirement. If the data is simple enough that it can be handled in such a report, and you have a process that can read and recreate this export, then you have your backup/restore capability. If the data can't be handled in a simple report, then you'll need a more complex PL/SQL process to generate the file.

  • Any idea for high display resolution in application sharing server ?

    Hi.
    I installed EP6 SP 13 with KMC and configure collaboration feature.
    I tested application sharing and It works.
    Then, I found problem.
    Problem is that application sharing server doesn't support 1400x1050 display resolution. (only works till 1280x1024)
    Is there any idea for solving this issue ?
    Regards, Arnold.

    Hi Arnold,
    I'm afraid this screen resolution is not yet supported. The official supported screen resolution is 1024x768 ! but as you stated it <b>can</b> work wit 1280x1024. You could open an OSS ticket and ask the KM Development for plans on supporting higher resolutions in application sharing and let us also know.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • QT in Momentics IDE for MS Windows

    Hello , 
    The steps given only for simulator in the link

    , I required Qt to be integrate with QNX IDE for playbook.

    Unfortunately, the trash has been emptied already.  AA7 is running on Windows 7 with Parallels.  I used to have a PC with XP but it will no longer be supported by MS and hence no fixes and development to be made on it.  I few PC-based applications that I access with Windows  7+ Parallels on my MAC. Would it be safe for me to use the cleaner tool to remove any Adobe on my hard-drive?
    I selected Windows 7 as that is the recommended OS to use with MAC/Parallels and AA 7.
    Help/feedback much appreciated to resolve this issue.
    Thank you.

  • I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a General Failure box stating 'The system cannot find the file specified' yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
    General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.
    Yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve this

    I am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
    of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
    "Restore" functions, not the
    "Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
    So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
    but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
    The 3 backup problems are:
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
    Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
    Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
    some recent Windows update.  Thanks.

    3) JAWA. The address(& the spelling) fails me.
    I'd personally recommend 1&2, it runs on most platforms, its packs quite a lot of features. But it is quite resoure hungry and you do need a lot of memory. About > 256 .
    I have not used the third one, but quite a few people here seem to like it.
    There is another one in development, http://www.eclipse.org , seems to be bankrolled by IBM.

  • Ideas for program

    I am currently studying for higher ed, and taking a class that includes AS3 teachings. For my exams I am expected to present a program I've made, and I can make anything I care for, it should be of some size and so I am having difficulties choosing something that would be easy enough to be made in a couple of months, but challenging enough to show my skills.
    I am looking for ideas for what I can make that fits these criterias, all suggestions are welcome

    The first thing you need to do is assess what skills you have or wish to demonstrate.  If you don't yet have the skills this can make choosing a project more difficult because learning new skills is more time consuming than demonstrating them.  Anyone with the skills and a couple of months to spare could create an impressively large project for themselves.
    So if you already have the skills, then you should aim at something in the form of a service-provider web site that has multiple interactive features and relies on imported content/data.  Maybe something in the way of a dating site where people can sign up, submit photos, fill out forms, be analyzed thru automated evaluations, get matched with others, watch marketing movieclips designed to lure them into signing up, etc...  I don't want to stress a dating site, but something that covers a number of different types of presentations, processing, and data delivery elements.
    If you don't already have the skills, and are expected to learn them over the same months that you are expected to be creating this project, then you should refer to whatever course syllabus you have, maybe even discuss it with the instructor and other students, so that you'll have a better idea of the expectations of this project's scope.
