Beryl fried Xorg! It's fixed now, and I want to try again.

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ber … ling_Beryl
Those are the instructions I followed in my first attempt (in Arch) to install Beryl.  I ended up with a dead Xorg.  Commenting out the things I added to the config file and uninstalling the Beryl packages didn't fix it.  I even tried switching back to the open source "nv" driver.  Nothing worked.  I ended up having to redo my system.  I'd appreciate it if someone could post more specific instructions, and tell me exactly what to add to the config file.
I'm using the official nVidia driver with my Geforce 5500 FX (256 MB VRAM).  This is the one in the repositories, and I didn't have the unstable one uncommented at the time I installed it.  So, this is probably not the latest beta of the driver.  If I need to (this particular driver has worked fine with Beryl in other distros I've used), how do I install it without messing everything up again?
Here's my current Xorg.conf -

You will probably have to restore via Recovery Mode as suggested above. The passcode locked you out (I assume) and you can't bypass it in order to restore the conventional way. Read the instructions here.

    Podcasts from Current Tv, since three weeks prior to the Nov 2012 election have had a url problem and cannot be played on my mac mini 2011 with 10.8.2 and the latest Itunes? anyone know why> ? I am in contact with Itunes now and they wanted screenshots of the problem, I can get these current tv episodes with a vpn and my isp says they are not blocking them, but i was surprised that prior to the election they were blocked, ?
    I also can get them on my Android Samsung Galaxy note 2 with no problem but on the Macmini cannot>/? I Unsubscribed and subscribed many times but still no luck, any ideas? I am waiting for the senior advisor to get back to me on this issue. I am in THailand now where the problem is happening and as I said the ISP says they do not block any podcasts.I also do not want it on my iphone 5, so I have to wait and see why the mac mini is not getting it.

    I seem to have fixed it by putting <div  class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

  • In Preview, when I add text annotations to my PDF (lecture note slides), they look fine until I close it and reopen it, and then they are rotated 90 degrees. How do I fix this and keep it from happening again?

    I have the same problem with lectures slides.
    Furthermore, sometimes the text box, when doube-clicking, turns  the text into a one-liner. Causing the text box to sometimes get 3. times wider than the pdf itself.

    By pressing [cmd + I] the Inspector opens up and clicking on the rightmost tab 'Annotations' you should be able find those Annotations again. I do this regularly to find the empty annotations I accidentally create while clicking through slides.

  • My IPAD said it became "disabled" yesterday and told me to "try again" in 36 minutes.  It's been 12 hours and now it won't turn on.  When I try, it flashes a screen showing an ICON indicating connect to ITunes.  Help!  How do I reset?

    My IPad indicated yesterday that it was "disabled" and told me to "try again" in 30 minutes.   It's been over 15 hours and it won't turn on.  When I try to turn it on, it gives me an Icon message indicating that I need to connect the Ipad to a ITunes.  How do I reset or "enable" it to begin working again?  Thanks very much.

  • The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either. HELP!

    The image came up on my screen saying that I need to connect my iPod to iTunes, but I have a passcode, so it won't allow me to. And I want to try and turn it off, but my touch screen doesn't seem to be working either, so I can't even turn it off since you need to "slide to power off." HELP! I'm leaving on Thursday morning for six and a half weeks, and I absolutely need my iPod with me. I was just at the Apple store today for problems I was having with ANOTHER product, and I don't really want to drive all the way out to where my nearest store is (which is not very near) if I can figure this out at home. My iPod was working totally fine earlier today and last night, so I don't know what happened! Please, please, PLEASE HELP!

    Now it's allowing me to reboot (hold down power button and home button and restart), but every time it just comes up to the same thing: the connect to iTunes page. Which is not possible. And I refuse to restore my iPod. PLEASE HELP.

  • I'm new to iPad mini and uv I'm trying to get a movie I purchased to where I can watch it offline but when I click the option to download and watch offline it keeps giving me and error with download try again later I have a good wifi connection ??

    You have a "good WiFi connection". What does that mean exactly? Can you send and receive email and are other internet related activities working OK for you? Have you tried restarting or rebooting your iPad? Sometimes that helps. If nothing else, it's a good place to start.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I just imported 70 photos successfully, edited them, and then attempted to upload them to a Facebook album.  It did not work and got hung up, so I force quit IPhoto and was going to try again.  The 70 photos have DISAPPEARED!!  Help !!!!

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

  • I cant remember my "Reset All Settings" Password and i tried putting all the passwords i remember and it says "9 failed Passcode Attempts" and then it says "Try again in 60 minutes "

    i tried putting all the passwords i remember and it says "9 failed Passcode Attempts" and then it says "Try again in 60 minutes "
    Can Somebody Please Help Me.?

    The passcode for Reset All Settings is the same one used to unlock the phone.  How have you managed to unlock it without encountering this???
    If you can't remember your passcode, restore the phone in iTunes using the same computer it was last synced with.  If you try to use another computer, you will be asked for the passcode and your only choice is to force recovery mode.

  • D key popped out (fixed now) and asterisk key not working

    OK- Here is the score: I had a wee accident with the PB- the dog scrapped past the keyboard dislodging the D key which popped up (I thought it was broken- BOY was I upset! Fiddled for hours and found that the wee scissor was OK but popped out... It is OK now) and apparently stopping the asterisk key from working at all.
    Looking that the keyboard there is no obvious problem (both affected keys are well reseated) but when you put your nail under the asterisk key and lift it lifts the foil below it slightly. On the other side the equivalent key (left arrow key) does NOT lift the foil at all.
    I am wondering- anyone have experience with the keyboard and know how likely it is that this is something which can be fixed? Or is this, in your esteemed experience, something which requires repair or replacement?
    Please advise.

    Thanks for your answer. I ended up dismantling the keyboard and defluffing it and between tears of frustration managed to place them back in correct working order. None of the wee plastic pins had broken off... SO lucky!
    :-D
    Hope you got sorted as I do not phone Apple- last time I did I spent 1 hour and 40 minutes speaking to seven people in various countries who were ALL unable to help with the issue I had and who just kept fobbing me off to each other. Twice I landed with the the same person (that is 9 times I spoke with different persons).
    Most folk would have given up by then but I am a bit of a bulldog on that score. All in all the MOST annoying experience.
    And considering that I am in the service trade myself and would fire folk for less it was doubly annoying!
    Conclusion? Want something doing? Do it yourself with the help of the wise and kind folk on here!

  • I have KDE right now and I want move to Gnome 3

    I use Arch Linux with KDE and everyhting are good and I use KDE with a lot of packages for 6 month and , I want move to Gnome and use it . I install Gnome and Gnome Extra with pacman . what I must do right now ? do I need need remove KDE completely and all delete all packages are depend on KDE or no ?
    can I have KDE packages and Gnome3 packages in one system . Or I have remove some packages , because of conflict ?

    desm0tes is absolutely correct.  This system has KDE, Xfce4, Awesome, e17, lxde. 
    How do you start your kde session?  If you are using kdm, it will find gnome the next time you start it.  You can select the session you want from the kdm login screen.  If you choose to change to gdm, it will find kde as well.  If you use startx from the console and need some hints, let us know.

  • LabView 6.1 crashes now and then when I try to get rid of an accidential starting connection when using the wiring tool.

    Sometimes when using my labtop it happens that I get unwanted connections when using the wiring tool because my labtop notices mouse clicks that never happend. Usually you can get rid of those connections by pressing ESC. But unfortunately now and than LabView crashes completely when pressing ESC to get rid of the connection.
    How can I stop LabView from crashing in that case?
    Thanks for anybodies help!

    Yes, I see this problem on both my LabView-Computers but more often on the labtop because of the strange integrated mouse.
    Yes, I get an error message but I can't really translate it in english. It says something about memory access to a special address.
    I might try reinstalling LabView one day if I have the time. I don't want to try LabView 7.0. I'm afraid it would be great. Unfortunately my boss alreday told me, we don't have money for the new version.
    Thanks for your help!
