Autohide-topbar extension for gnome 3.2.1 (SOLVED)

I can't get neither gnome-shell-extension-autohide-topbar nor
gnome-shell-extension-zodiac-autohidetopbar-git to work.
They install fine, but they simply do not show up in gnome-tweak-tool ->
extensions. I don't have them both installed at the same time. I uninstall
one before trying the other.
I was wondering if anyone has got them working or if the problem
occurs only with me.
Any suggestions?

Yeah! Installing from there it simply started working.
Also, I noticed that now, when top bar "unhides", it doen't push the windows to the
bottom as it did before. Wonderful.

A tiling manager for Gnome

I have been using Ubuntu for a long time. Now I have decided to switch to Archlinux. I am looking for a Gnome tiling manger. In ubuntu, I can use compiz and set the shortcuts for different window configurations. However, compiz is not available in Archlinux. Any recommendation for a simple and easy to use tiling manager for Gnome?
I can install the shellshape extension, but it's ab it too simple.
https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/294/shellshape/
I cannot install the gtile or shelltile extensions, not sure why.

EDIT: It is possible to run an actual tiling window manager within GNOME, such as Awesome or Xmonad.
I have seen the wiki page for Compiz. According to the wiki, Compiz is not officially supported.
I have seen people using Awesome or Xmonad. But, they are too complicated for me :-(

Wayland backend per user for Gnome Shell?

Hello, I've been trying to set environment variable with Wayland backend for Gnome Shell on Wayland but this per user just doesn't work.
I tried to put:
export GDK_BACKEND=wayland
export CLUTTER_BACKEND=wayland
to files like .profile and .bashrc but Gnome Shell doesn't tolerate these two. Without Wayland backend everything just run in XWayland "mode".
Weston tolerate this backends but it is highly "underfetaured" and sometimes it's just crash (some breakpoint trap).
Any response appreciated.

I have had a brief look and I think there may be a way in to add/change things via .desktop files. It looks like whenever gnome loads a .desktop type file it should look in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME home which, by default, would be $HOME/.config first before loading it from one of the standard system directories. The standard session definitions are desktop files (though with a .session extension) so putting a copy on $HOME/.config should enable user specific reconfiguration.

Warranty extension for Satellite U400

Hello!
I have a question about possibility to extend warranty for my laptop.
On the official web-ste there is information about my device and it;s written over there:
"Standard Warranty
Coverage: International Days:365 Expiration Date: 2010-05-25
Extended Warranty
Servicename: International Warranty Extension from 1 to 2 years Service Coverage: International Days: 730 Expiration Date: 2011-05-25 "
It's written that I have already an extended warranty, but i've just register the standard warranty of my new laptop!
Anyway, the question is: can i buy a warranty extansion in my cause and what type of extension i have to buy (from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3 e.t.c.)
Thank you in advance!
P.S. And one more question: my friend is going to buy Toshiba Satellite A500-1F2. The same question: which kind of warranty extension is he able to purchase?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Dmitry

Hi
Usually all notebooks are covered by standard warranty for a 1 year.
If you register the notebook on the Toshiba page, you will get an additional warranty year (altogether 2 years).
I think this is what you can see on the Toshiba page.
I think you can extend the warranty too.
You have to look here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com -> Peripherals & Services -> Services -> Warranty extensions
There you will have to check available Warranty Extensions for your notebook model.

Using JSSE : "Invalid Netscape CertType extension for SSL client" Error

Hi all,
Im using the sample code given sun site for JSSE with Client Authentication. The sample as such it worked with the testkeys provided in that. But it didn't workout when I tried using other certificates.
Both client and server certificates I generated from our internal Netscape Certificate Manager.
Function of the server :
The server will read a private key from the given keystore and starts listening on a port. This server will server only GET request.
Function of the client :
The Client sends a GET request to the server and gets the response back.
I simply changed the key store name alone in the working sample code.
It is not working.
The Exception thrown on client side :

The same thing.
I have found the place where the exception throws.
It is com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.AVA class.
It has a constructor AVA(StringReader)
There is a check in this constructor of different certificate extensions
(if-else). If it sees no familiar extension it throws exception and handshake fails.
It is not difficult to fix this problem: just ignore unknown extension.
Everything works fine with this "improved" class (under VA 3.5).
But the problem is - the using of this class in applets.
How can I say the browser to use my "improved" class and not the one it downloaded with java plug-in?

How to Package Photoshop Extension for cs4/cs5 with manifest.xml

Hello,
tl;dr: How can I package my extension for both cs4 and cs5 in a way that respects the extension's window geometry?
I have a panel that specifies window geometry in it's manifest.xml. When the panel is installed into Photoshop's panels/ folder, the geometry gets ignored, so I'm trying to package the panel as an extension to be installed via the Extension Manager. I have run into different problems for each CS version. I've read quite a few pdfs about the Extension Manager, UCF command line packaging, etc, and have not been able to find a solution that works for both platforms.
My understaning
My trial and error research has lead me to understand that the extension's files must eventually end up in the (mac) /Library/Application Support/Adobe/<CSversion>ServiceManager/extensions/ directory. In CS5, if the extension's folder contains a manifest.xml file (ex: /extensions/GuideGuide/CSXS/manifest.xml) that specifies window geometry, Photoshop will respect that window geometry when the panel opens. However, in CS4, this is not enough. From my tests, Photoshop CS4 doesn't seem to do anything with the manifest.xml file. Instead, I had to modify /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS4ServiceManager/ServiceManifest.xml and add my extension to it's contents. Once I did this, Photoshop CS4 launches my panel and respects it's window geometry.
The problem with this is that it's a manual installation. I can't ask my users to dig around in their system files to install my panel. In addition, since it's unsigned using this method, it won't work if they're not flagged for debugging. I've started exploring using the Extension Manager, but I have run into problems that I cannot find ansers in the few pdfs about packaging that I've been able to find.
CS5 Problems
If I use the UCF command line tool, I can package and sign my file. It installs fine and does what I want. However, using this method, I haven't been able to find a way to specify the author and description that shows up in the Extension Manager.
CS4 Problems
The UCF command line tool doesn't appear to make packages that can be installed by CS4, and I haven't been able to find one that is compatable. I've had to result to using the Extension Manager to package my extension based on a .mxi file. The problem I have here is that installing files this way limits me to putting them in the /panels directory, which then causes the panel to ignore the indow geometry. Is there a way with an .mxi file to install in the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/<CSversion>ServiceManager/extensions/ directory and modify the /Library/Application Support/Adobe/CS4ServiceManager/ServiceManifest.xml file?
There must be, because Kuler and other extensions are installed there.
Thank you SO much for any help you might provide. I've spent weeks trying to get this to work and have run into nothing but dead ends and wild goose chases.

Your extension is a CSXS extension. For CSXS extension it's introduced in Extension Manager 2.1. (You can download Extension manager 2.1 from http://www.adobe.com/exchange/em_download/em20_download.html)
In Extension Manager CS2.1 only MXP package is supported. In Extension Manager CS5 CSXS extension must be packaged by ZXP format. So you have to generate two packages for CS4(mxp) and CS5(zxp)
For CS5, you can use ucf.jar to generate the zxp package.
For CS4, you have to create an MXI file and package it by Extension Manager 2.1 to mxp package. Here is a sample CSXS mxi file:

Looking for a high-contrast extension for Safari for Windows

First of all,what do we call them - extensions or plugins?
Is there an extension for Safari for Windows for high-contrast? I can't find one anywhere. Windows 7 is set to a HC theme. IE just follows suit. Chrome detected this, ad offered to install a theme.
Don't know why, but I still prefer Safari on my Win7 system. But really need HC. One that just inverts the colors would work, but one with several other options like the Chrome extension would be better.
A Link! A Link! My kingdom for a Link!

Any Extension for Ruby On Rails on DW

Hello,
I am planning to quit PHP and start developing in Ruby on
Rails. Their MVC model is really great and plus MS has also
appreciated this model and getting this implemented in new Orcas
Model ( New Asp.net 3.5 version ).
Ruby really beats every one since its totally OOP and plus it
offers more powerful features than PHP5 and Easily fights with

Cannot install Firefox extension for Contribute 4

I'm trying out Contribute 4 and right away during
installation there's a bomb: The installer tells me:
Unavailable Components
These components cannot be installed on your systemat the
current time
Contribute Extension for Mozilla Firefox
Version Required: Mozilla Firefox Version 1.0 or later
Version Installed: Mozilla Firefox must have been launched
at least once
The same thing happeneds when, after the original Contribute
installation, I tried to use the Add/Remove Programs control panel
to Modify the Contribute installation so as to install the Firefox
extension.
I'm running Firefox 1.5.0.8. Needless to say, I HAVE launched
Firefox "at least once", indeed, many, many times.
What could the problem be and how is it fixed???

for you (IT tech) and because
the 'extensions' folder inside Firefox App has only Read-Only
access for the users other than the one who has installed Firefox.
Another place to check is whether Mozilla Firefox is installed in
the default location c:\program files\. directory.
If you can confirm that you have admin rights and installed
both FF and Contribute 4 and it is located in the default
directories, just post back.

I have admin rights for the account ("Administrator") on
which I installed both Firefox and Contribute 4. However, neither
is in the default location, as I NEVER install ANYTHING in
C:\Program Files. (This is to make the whole system more granular
for backup purposes.) All my programs (except recalcitrant ones
from Microsoft) go into subject-area subdirectories of lanother
ogical drive.
And data goes onto yet another logical drive, with most going
into a Documents directory there (which has been designated as what
Windows XP brings up as Documents). Under that Documents I have my
Firefox profile, inside that, the Firefox extensions.
So I'm certainly suspecting now that Contribute 4, unlike
other programs, did not attempt to handle non-default installations
of Firefox (or possibly even of Contribute 4)!

I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. Nothing currently on the help site has resolved it.

I have been trying to uninstall several extensions for firefox. I'm told by the Add-Ons window that these extensions will be uninstalled when I restart firefox, but they come back every time I restart. I've tried clearing the extensions cache from my firefox profile and it does not work. Following the steps in all of the active questions regarding this issue among other users have yielded no results. Nothing currently on the help site (which I've combed through for the last three hours) has helped.
Most of the extensions I'm now trying to uninstall are old ones that stopped functioning/being compatible with one of the more recent updates of firefox. The rest are toolbars I've never used because they're unsightly and clutter up my screen
* What I wound up doing was installing the newest of the newest versions of firefox (it's at 5.0 or something now, I think). That just made all the plugins, add-ons, and extensions I wanted to get rid of obsolete and it auto-removed them on its own.

I do really appreciate you taking the time out to try and offer some solutions though. Thank you very much for your effort!

The list of extensions for InDesign now have a yellow triangle warning symbol in front of a good many of the extensions and when moused over i get one of two messages:
"Extensions may not function properly because it does not meet the dependency condition."
OR
Extension Status is not consistent with extension set configuration."
The reason I opened the Extension Manager in the first place was to check to see if I had installed a third party extension. And I was presented with these warning symbols. I haven't added anything, I haven't done anything that would cause this.
Does anyone know how to fix this???
I am running OSX 10.9.5; Indesign CS6 version 8.0.2 And Adobe Extension Manager version 6.0.8.28.
Thanks in advance!
Nina

Many InDesign pre-installed extensions (Those extensions you have immediately after InDesign installation) define dependency rules in their mxi files. Dependency means that one extension works well only if one or more other extensions are installed and enabled. If this condition is not met, the yellow triangle warning will be shown.
You can select an extension with warning, click "Advanced" tag page in the lower right panel. You will see "This extension has dependency on: <extension name> ...". Check whether every extensions listed here are available and enabled. If not, enable them. Repeat these steps for all the extensions which have warning.

File extension for: cl_gui_frontend_services= file_open_dialog

Hello,
I would like to set the file extension for cl_gui_frontend_services=>file_open_dialog such that my default extension in the file open dialogue is the .csv (comma-separated value) file. May I know how can I do that?
Thanks!
Regards,
Anyi

Hello,
Thanks for the quick reply.
Howeer, I tried to use the extension of CSV and the file dialogue opened up with .RTF (which is the default extension) instead.
Any comment on that?
Thanks!

When trying to install an extension for InDesign CC 2014 I get an error message saying that the extension only works with version 7.0 or greater. My version is 10.0.0.7 x64 Build I was using this extension fine with InDesign CC

When trying to install an extension for InDesign CC 2014 I get an error message saying that the extension only works with version 7.0 or greater. My version is 10.0.0.7 x64 Build I was using this extension fine with InDesign CCError message with InDesign CC 2014

Used the 64bit version before CC 2014 as well so don't think that's the issue. Here is the text in the .mxi file if I have missed something:

Custom File Extension for Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)

I'm trying to use a custom file extension for the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) driver.
I have updated the FileExtns registry to have my new extension.
When I issue the following it does not work.
select [NoName]
from openrowset('MSDASQL'
           ,'Driver={Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)};
                DefaultDir=c:\filedir'
           ,'select * from "file.lst"')
If I make the file a .csv it works fine. However, if it has an extension of not CSV or TXT (in this case .lst, which is in the registry setting) extension it throws the following error and cannot seem to find a solution to it.
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)" returned message "[Microsoft][ODBC Text Driver] Cannot update. Database or object is read-only.". Msg 7350, Level 16, State 2, Line 1 Cannot get the column information from
OLE DB provider "MSDASQL" for linked server "(null)".
In addition, (although I can probably find this elsewhere), I need to have the first line 'BLANK' so that it does not miss data (there is no header row). Is there a way to use OPENROWSET without BULK to basically include all rows as data?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
According to your description, I did a test with your script, and got the same message as your post. Usually, by default, the Microsoft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv) supports the four extensions file, such as *.asc, *.csv, *.tab, *.txt. To solve this issue,
I recommend you try to save the LST file in the above format, then use OPENROESET to get data from the supported extensions file in SQL Server.
In addition, the
OPENROWSET function is mainly used to retrieve remote data from an OLEDB data source, when you use OPENROWSET without BULK, provider_name is a necessary parameter in the script. However, the OPENROWSET (BULK...) is mainly called from a SELECT…FROM clause
within an INSERT statement, when importing bulk data from a data file into SQL Server table. Thus if you need to import bulk data, you should use the basic syntax: INSERT ... SELECT * FROM OPENROWSET(BULK...), also there are some alternatives, such as
BULK INSERT
and
BCP .
