Awesome: Windows remain present all the time after libpng update

Hi there,
After the libpng update this week, my awesome behvaes strange.
As awesome depends on cairo-xcb, I‘ve downloaded the tarball from this page, extracted it and ran makepkg -s followed by sudo pacman -U. Seemed to work, so I repeated these steps both for awesome and vicious-git and finally ran sudo pacman -Syu. During the last few days, I repeated some of theses steps (eg. I rebuilt cairo-xcb again)
So I was able to launch Awesome again, but some strange issues occured: After closing (or even killing) windows or switching tags, windows remain present. The awesome context menu behaves as these windows: It does not vanish. In fact, if I open more than one window, awesome becomes practically unuseable.
I moved my awesome config file (~/.config/awesome/rc.lua) and therefore awesome loaded the default config file, but the error occured again.
So, after googling and asking in the IRC (nice to know that most awesome guys do not have problems with this update…), I finally use the forum
Thanks for helping me out here, Keba.
PS: Obviously, the “awesome“ in the title refers to the window manager not to the awesomeness of this error.
//Edit: If I move windows, they leave some lines behind them, so awesome seems to have problems redrawing the screen correctly…

Yes, and disabling that helps, thanks a lot
For some reason I use the non-git-version, so I built the git version and installed it. Even after rebuilding cairo-xcb again, I get the same problem again So, how to use xcompmgr?
Thanks, Keba.

Hard drive runs all the time after software update

After a software update from Apple a couple of weeks ago, for some reason the hard drive now runs noisily and continuously ever since. It's never run that way in the 3 years I've had the machine. It would run briefly sometimes while using some websites, but it would always stop and quiet down once the site was done. Anybody else had this happen? Thanks - L Agnew.

Hi,
Make sure you have enough available drive space for updates. Right click your MacintoshHD icon and then click Get Info. In the Get Info window, where it says: General click the black arrow so it faces down. You will see Capacity and Available. Watch that the available drive space never falls below 15% of the total drive. (Some say 10%, but that's pushing it). Not enough drive space will cause apps to crash and freeze, including browsers.
If drive space is the issue, you need to copy files to external source. Don't forget to delete the originals on the hard disk.
If drive space isn't an issue try deleting this file. com.apple.softwareupdate.plist
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences. Drag that file from the Preferences folder to the Trash, empty the Trash and reboot. Launch Software Update either from the Apple Menu or the System Preferences/Software Update pane.

Why don't U pay attention to your adds on, like Provider for Google Calendar during your updates? It's not working all the time after your updates. Very annoyin

I do not want to find a way every time and spend hours to connect THunderbird to Google calendar every new release. Why don't U solve this problem finally? Not everyone has special computer skills to find good APi or installation info, and many bullshits.
Pls, do something that finally solve our problem.
We like Thunderbird, but need to use Google calendar - to connect events to mobile phones- as thunderbird do not have this opportunity. So solve pls, or create a program that allow us to use normal calendar that we able to synch with our mobile phones.
Thank you.

The developers moved the 'Reload current page' to the right-side of the Location Bar in Firefox 4, but allowed each user to move it where they wanted it via the Customize feature. Now with another major UI re-do in Firefox 29, that button can't be moved as easily, continuing what they started with Firefox 4.

Win 7 set up and running OK,but after go back from OSX the wireless net work stuck at identification cause the window working without Internet.Can we fix it or I must use Windows off line all the time?
I already contact Microsoft 2 times for activations.Hope I can fix from Apple instead.

Ok....Got "Problem 2 and 4" solved....still trying to figure out this pop up everytime I click something...it's crazy how fast the pop up blinks...maybe once or 3 blinks then nothing till you close the window, then pop up then disappears...then click something
else and pop up then gone....never seen this before...ive seen it when you tried to get online which turned out to be a virus on a customers cpu I worked on some years ago, I think it has something to do with the deleted files that I spoke of on last
post...I notice it does it on start up as well.....think something is trying to install but not sure. Need to figure out where the appdata or start up folder and see whats in there....maybe it's in there.......so I might wait to see how it acts in the next
couple days for "Problem 1"...but other than that it's running like a champ...so right now I just want to get the pop up windows to stop........thx again for everyone's help on this.

Since installing iOS6 in my iPad2 the connection keep being bounced from the wireless all the time after a few seconds. What can I do ?

Since installing iOS6 on my recently purchased iPad2 the connection is being bounced off the wireless all the time after a fw seconds. What can I do?

Try #5.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS.I've never had this problem before... today I opened iTunes and it prompted me to download the newest version. I use iTunes all the time and have updated it multiple times with no issues. During the installation process it gave me an error message that said:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files\iTunes.exe
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I quit the installation, uninstalled iTunes and rebooted my computer. I now receive a similar message with a slight difference:
Runtime error!
Program C:\Program Files (x86)...
R0634
An application has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.
I did not leave anything out from the error message. It doesn't point to a specific file, it just ends with "(x86)..." Every time I boot up my computer, this error message pops up on my desktop.
How do I repair this issue? I have found multiple suggested solutions but am unsure which one is the best, and I don't want to try a bunch of different things for fear I may make the problem worse. I would like to try and fix this myself if possible but I need to know if that is really possible or if I need to take my computer to someone for repairs. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!!

Hi lustyln,
I'm having a little trouble understanding all of what you are trying to explain. From what I can tell, it sounds like your PC has a lot of software problems and you want to know what is supposed to be there and what isn't.
For reference, here are your product specifications:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01893242&lc=en&product=4043282
To get your PC software back to how it was when it was first purchased, run a system recovery:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&dlc=en&docname=c01867418&lc=en&product=4043282
I hope this helps.

Is there a way to go back to previous version of software as I don't like vers 1.1. Restoring it does not work and it turns off all the time after around 10 secs

Is there any way to go back to prvious version of software befoe 1.1 on ipod nano 6th generation. After update it switches off all the time after about 10 secs and I preferred it when I could listen to songs when in sleep mode without using too much battery power

Peter,
That was the problem. They were there, just not properly linked. I used the one I completed in CS6 trial version (after preflight). When I exported that one and opened it in CS5 all was good. I think I will make the upgrade as soon as I can afford it, but at least now I can make the system work for my needs. Thank you for your help!

HP xw8600 workstation fans run at max all the time after upgrading CPUs and memory

Hello, This is my 1st post on the forums here so I would like to thank everyone for the help ahead of time. I have an HP xw8600 workstation on which I have upgraded the CPUs and RAM recently - after the upgrade the fans seem to spin at full speed all the time (not just under load). Before the upgrading the fans were barely heard but afterwords the workstation has become very loud. This seems odd that the fans always run fast now and seems like this is not "normal" - what needs to be done to allow the fans to again be modulated by load/temp settings as designed? I looked in the temp and fan RPM settings in the BIOS and it looks like all sensors are working (including ambient temp sensor - was stating around 20 deg. C). Hardware changes:Before - CPU: 2x Intel Xeon X5460/ 3.16 GHz, 12MB L2, 1333 MHz, FSB,120WRAM: HP 32GB (16x2GB) DDR2-667 ECC FBD RAM - using RAM riser After -CPU: 2x Intel Xeon X5492/ 3.40 GHz, 12MB L2, 1600 MHz, FSB,150WRAM: HP 32GB (8x4GB) DDR2-800 ECC FBD RAM - using RAM riser NOTE: From the HP spec sheet it says that 32GB(8x4GB) is not supported by 5492... I am not sure why this is so and do not know if this has anything to do with my fans running very fast. HP 32GB(8x4GB)DDR2-800 ECC FBD RAM RISER Supported ONLY w/dual processors
5272, 5472, 5482 HP 64GB (16x4GB) DDR2-800 ECC FBD RAM Supported ONLY w/dual processors
5272, 5472, 5482 and 5492.
Acoustics waiver required. Other than the constantly loud fans the workstation works perfectly with the new setup. Please let me know if anyone has run into this issue with the fast fans and whether there is a fix for this (maybe flashing BIOS?). Any advice is greatly appreciated! [I originally posted this under Desktops section - http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/HP-xw8600-workstation-fans-run-at-max-all-the-time-after/td-p/3929746]

The xw8600 has a motherboard firmware setting that if it detects high powered processors in place it wants to see the "double tall" performance heatsink/double fans per heatsink in place. I have posted about that and how I rewired a double tall to use side by side in my xw8400 next to a single tall heatsink/fan to see how cooling was affected in that workstation. The xw8400 did not ever come with double tall performance heatsinks, to my knowledge, so its motherboard's firmware is different. In those posts I also explained how to do a simple jumper wire modification on a single tall heatsink to spoof the xw8600 into thinking it had a double tall/two fans in place over each processor. Simple and quick. So, you might want to get a couple of double talls off eBay, or try the jumper wire trick. I'd personally advise to get the double tall heatsinks given that you're running 150W max TDP processors. If I remember correctly HP wanted you to use the double talls for 120W max TDP and above. I'd feel comfortable using that trick on a set of 120 watt processors if I was not hammering them frequently, but it sounds like you're a high level power user. The all-fans-on-high can be due to a failed thermisitor in the front power cable reading ambient air temps too high, but you can check that in BIOS to see the temp and it sounds like yours is not elevated incorrectly. You can search for my experience with that in a xw6600, and it is an easy $8.00-$12.00 fix with a new cable off eBay. You'd want the longer version for the xw8600, versus the shorter one for the xw6600. Finally, maybe you've just gone too high in your total wattage use? Those risers can run hot and draw lots of power. Could you live with less ram and get rid of the risers using 4GB sticks? Sometimes those prior prohibitions regarding what is and is not supported go away with later BIOS updates. Is your BIOS the latest? Welcome, and let us know what turns out to be the problem so others can benefit too. Scott

You missed to mention which VDI version you are using. This is important because the capabilities and terminology slightly differs between Sun VDI 2 and Sun VDI 3.
Sun VDI 3 distinguishes between *"personal"* and *"flexible"* desktop assignments.
A personal desktop is owned by the assigned user (similar to a PC under his desk) and is never made available for other users.
A flexible desktop is only temporary owned by the user and once the user logs out the desktop is recycled and becomes available for the next user.
If you select and assign a specific desktop to a user, Sun VDI 3 will automatically use a "personal" assignment here. If you assign a pool to a user, then a specific desktop is picked up from the pool and assigned to this user on demand (when the user requests a desktop for the first time). You can specify for each pool the default assignment type that should be used then - either "flexible" or "personal". At any time you can explicitly change an existing desktop assignment from flexible to personal if needed.
Sun VDI 2 uses a slightly different terminology: A *"static"* desktop is owned by a user (similar to personal in Sun VDI 3). A *"dynamic" or "temporary"* desktop is only temporary owned by the user (similar to flexible in Sun VDI 3). All desktops that are part of a pool are per default dynamic. Static desktops are not part of any pool. Sun VDI 2 does not offer to configure the default assignment type per pool. However, you can set the recycling interval for a pool to infinite meaning that the desktops will never by recycled - this simulates the personal assignment type available in Sun VDI 3.

Why is my fan working all the time after installing a Samsung SSD

Hello,
I installed a Samsung 500GB EVO SSD on my 13" Macbook Pro Late 2011
Since I nstalled it my fan is wroking all the time even when I am not doing anything just after my computer loads.
Does anybody know what the reason of this is?
Thanks for everybody that will reply!

Power or other problems related to unexpected system sleep, shutdown, lights or fans justify an SMC reset. Read all the steps.
Before Resetting the SMC
Try each of the following steps in this order before you reset the SMC. Test the issue after completing each troubleshooting step to determine if the issue still occurs.
Press Command + Option + Escape to force quit any application that is not responding.
Put your Mac to sleep by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Sleep. Wake the computer after it has gone to sleep.
Restart your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Restart.
Shut down your Mac by choosing the Apple () menu from the upper-left menu bar and then choosing Shut Down.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if it's not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. The power adapter indicator light will cycle off / on once.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
If its fans continue to operate inexplicably fast consult Samsung for the possibility of a firmware update for their product.
