Broken progress bar in gensplash?

So i am installing my dream polished distro right now and so far everything is great. all the hardware works, gnome is great, wireless, the works. so now that the dirty work was out of hte way i figured i'd do some polishing to make it look nice. so first i did the graphical grub patch and it came out just fine and dandy. then i tried the gensplash, followed the wiki, installed the kernel26beyond and it works, but the progress bar doesn't.
searching this forum i found some patches from 2004 that i dont want to apply because who knows how many things changed since then.
so the question is...how do i make the stupid progress bar load?

make sure you have "initscripts-gensplash" installed:
pacman -S initscripts-gensplash
Then you have to edit back your rc.conf, rc.local scripts (originals saved under rc.conf.pacsave, rc.local.pacsave)

How can I play a movie in iTunes mini player? (Progress bar button broken?)

It took forever to figure out how to get iTunes to even OPEN a new window for movie playback, but once I finally found instructions (click the button with movie art to the left of the progress bar to open in new window) they only partially worked. A new window opens, but movie playback continues in the main window. The new window shows a freeze frame of the scene displayed at the moment I clicked the progress bar button. The new window looks just like the mini player, and its control buttons work, but they effect the main window's movie playback not the new window/mini player where I want to watch the movie.
Is it my progress bar that's broken? I'm all updated with iTunes version 11.1.5. Does this version not play well with my OS X 10.6.8?
Ultimately I just want to be able to play a movie in the mini player while using other applications; surely that's possible.
[Also, on the "Operating System" dropdown menu below, I just selected OS X 10.6.8 and then the dropdown showed "No operating system selected" and the selection arrows no longer work. Any ideas what happened? My MacBook Old feels so janky right now.]

JS ScriptUI CS4: How to create an indeterminate progress bar?

Hi Folks,
Does anyone here know if ExtendScript (I'm using the CS4 flavor of ES) can produce an indeterminate (i.e., "barber pole") progress bar using ScriptUI's progressbar control? I've tried a number of value settings for the progress bar control in hopes that they would trigger the barber pole behavior, but so far, no luck.
My current workaround is to "loop" the progress indicator. In other words, when the progress bar's value > maxvalue, I reset the value back to minvalue. Then rinse and repeat. Not really what I want, but the task being processed takes quite a bit of time, so I need to show some sign of something happening to the user.
Thanks!

Hi Jim and Jeff,
I can't find any practical solution to the original problem. It seems that an ExtendScript function call and a ScriptUI window cannot properly update synchroneously, except with a regular progressbar widget. I thought that a nonmodal window (='palette') might be fine, but I always get critical side effects using that approach, and generally the SWF is 'freezed' during the process. Curiously I found a kind of workaround using a pure modal dialog which mimics a nonmodal palette (!!) through the 'activate' event. But this still requires that the outer function perdiodically calls the update() method of the window from its own body, so this does not answer the question.
Here is a first draft, based on the SWF that Jeff posted above and only tested on a Win platform. I'd really appreciate feedbacks on this from Mac users.

Progress bar ref mismatch

Hi all,
On the attachment, the BD on left called the BD on right. Notice that I have a broken wire on left, and I don't understand why. It says that there is a conflict in class. Do any of you know why? The intension of the left BD is to get the main VI reference and loop through each control and indicator on the front panel of that VI. Would what I am doing just give me the conrols but not the indicators? Thanks
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!
Solved!

You need to cast your reference to a more specific class of slide.
Your wire is of the more generic Control Reference (as seen by the class listed at the top of the property node) and you are trying to feed that into the slide reference (as seen by the reference control and the property node in your subVI)

Need simple progress bar

Hi...
I have a GUI which calls methods in different classes.
There are three long running tasks, which I want to be able to display the progress of.
Each task MUST finish before the other proceeds, so I don't think it is necessary for more than one thread.
I want to have a simple "progress bar" pop-up when each task starts, and then disappear when it is finished. Or, have a "progress indicator" on the GUI, which can be reset and started again.
I have played around with JProgressBars and JProgressMonitors (from this site), but haven't been able to adapt them to the simple needs.
Is there any hope for what I want to achieve?
You would have thought this was an easy task, but I'm a broken man!
Thanks for any help.

Maybe this example will help.
If it does may I claim the duke dollars please

No progress bar when embedding/viewing QT movie.

Hi everyone,
I am having an issue I've not had before.
I have setup a web page with HTML to embed a Quicktime 7 movie file (exported as a download, not as streaming since my web host doesnt support QT streaming).
With previous versions of QT I recall seeing a progress bar while the .mov would load. However this time the user is ONLY presented with the Quicktime logo, without any hint as to how much is left to download.
Is this a problem with the new version? How can I have the page so that the user sees the progress as it downloads (controller instead of just the "Q" logo)?
Thanks in advance.
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.2)

The html code must be correct for a file to "autoplay" but the file must also be saved to "Fast Start".
If you made any edits to a previously saved fast start file you may have "broken" the fast start feature. It can be repaired by using the "Save As" menu using QuickTime Pro.
Instructions for embedding QT content and the proper use of the "tags":
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61011
Direct linking to a QT file is bad form. You should use the proper html code to insure proper playback.

Loading dataprovider progress bar possible?

Gidday
I'm loading data out of SQLLite into an array in my AIR app, ready to populate a datagrid once the SELECT hs been successful:
data_grid.dataProvider = new DataProvider(evt.data)
It works really well, but I was wondering if there is a way to display progress?
50 000 rows takes a couple of seconds to populate, and I'm catering for up to 200 000 rows.
Is it possible to directly monitor progress of SELECT queries, and then for Flash to populate a dataProvider, or is it a case of having to split up the query into chunks of say, 10 000 rows, break, update a progress bar, then go back for the next SELECT?
Also - similar topic - is it possible to set up progress for browseForDirectory type operations? I'm loading in large filelists and parsing the file names. I have set up progress tracking once the parsing starts, but cannot seem to do the same after the Event.SELECT listener kicks in, and I run this code in a function:
var f1:Array = d1.getDirectoryListing();
 var len:int = f1.length;
 for(var i:int = 0; i < len; i++) {
 f2.push(f1[i].name); //if current item in f1 array is a file, push it onto the f2 array
 f3.push(f1[i].nativePath);//save location of file
 if (f1[i].isDirectory) {
 gL(f1[i]);
Thanks guys!

you can't display the progress of any single select query. the best you can do is to break the select into several "chunks" or warn the user that your app will be unresponsive for some period of time.
here's the general idea with chunking:
Chunks
For example, if you have a for-loop that takes 10 seconds to execute, your game will appear to freeze for 10 seconds after this loop starts. Nothing will update on stage and nothing will respond to user input. Either you should warn your user before starting that loop or you should break that loop into several smaller chunks that allow visual updates to the user so they do not think your game is broken.
For example, this for-loop that adds odd numbers (and shows the first m odd numbers sum to m*m) freezes my Flash Player for about 9 seconds.
var i:Number;
var n:Number=3000000000;
var s:Number=0;
var startI:Number=1;
var endI:Number=n
var startTime:int=getTimer();
for (i=startI; i<endI; i+=2) {
 s+=i;
// 9 seconds
trace((getTimer()-startTime)/1000,s,n*n/4,s-n*n/4);
The following technique shows how to break this (and any other for-loop) into chunks that allow the Flash Player to update every second.
var i:Number;
var n:Number=3000000000;
var s:Number=0;
var startTime:int=getTimer();
// This is the number chunks into which the previous for-loop will broken. If the // previous for-loop took about 9 seconds, using 10 chunks means there will be updates // about every 0.9 seconds.
var chunks:int=10;
var startI:Number=1;
var endI:Number=n/chunks;
var t:Timer=new Timer(100,1);
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,f);
f();
function f(e:Event=null):void {
 for (i=startI; i<endI; i+=2) {
 s+=i;
 trace("stage update",startI,endI,s);
 if (endI<n) {
 t.reset();
 t.start();
 } else {
 trace((getTimer()-startTime)/1000,s,n*n/4,s-n*n/4);
 startI+=n/chunks;
 endI+=n/chunks;

PB G4 freeze at progress bar after OS DL failed

Tried updating OS via Software Updater. Unspecified error occurred, the when trying again, "broken pipe" occurred. Now mac frozen at blue screen, and frozen at progress bar when using safe mode. fsck, though, says everything is well.
I'm out of town and without recourse for the moment to OS discs. Any other thoughts?

You wrote: "I copied to the Applications folder."That's where I'd say it should go. My concern was you may have dropped it in something like /Library/StartupItems.
You might check /Library/StartupItems just to be sure there are no Dreamweaver-related startup items therein that may be "confused" given that you moved the application from an external drive to your internal drive, esp. if you had been using it previously from the external. It is a long shot, but worth a check.
I don't use Dreamweaver, but some apps add either Startup Items, Login Items, or both. You can read my "Troubleshooting Startup and Login Items" FAQ for details about such.
I suspect the Dreamweaver move isn't the case, but since it was the last change you made before this occurred (was it the last change?) it's worth investigating a bit.
If the earlier Apple KB article I posted does not help, you can also try the steps in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
Good luck!

Seeking in videos using the progress bar

Ever since the 2.0 update, seeking using the progress bar seems very sluggish, far from the smooth experience I had using the 1.1.4 firmware. The playback seems to snap to certain points and fast forward to the point I seek to. I updated to 2.0.1 today hoping this issue would be fixed, but not yet. Anybody else experiencing this?

mine is even worse, after the 2.0.1, video playback is broken. There is no video!!!! but there is audio. This apply to any online video as well like youtube. any facing the same problem? How can i restore to 2.0?

Help needed please, with Iphone stuck with apple picture and progress bar after software update attempted

Help needed please, everytime I try to update the software version on my iphone it comes up with a message saying it could not be completed and is now frozen with the apple picture and progress bar on it. Do I unplug it and hope the macbook pro sees it again, I also stupidly did not back up before starting the download which I realise I will have to go back to the previous back up. This keeps happening, everytime I do this type of update, I'm starting to think I should just give up on updating my software on the Iphone. I thought it was happening because I was using a window based computer to do the updates, this time I used my Macbook Pro. Please somebody help

Problem installating Snow Leopard on old Macbook Pro with Intel Core 2 Duo. After creating partition on internal hard disk (Extended Journaled), installation starts but stops at half of the progress bar. Screen asking Restart appears.

Hello:
I have tried installing Snow Leopard via the installation disc on a Macbook Pro (2007) with an Intel Core 2 Duo, but I the installation has failed more than 5 times.
I have first formatted and partitioned the internal hard disk with Mac Os Extended Journal format.
Once the installation starts, it starts without a problem unti lthe progress bar gest until half completed then a screen asking for a Computer Restart shows up.
It asks to press the power button for some time until it the computer shuts down and then, press again to turn it on.
Once turned on, the installation disc gets readed, the installation screen appears again and asks again to start the whole installation process form the beginning.

Then you have a Hardware Problem.
Your system is Crashing part way through the install and Re-Booting because of the crash.
Could be the drive itself or it could be some other hardware part in your system. Like the RAM.
To check if it is the internal drive connect an External drive to the system by USB and do the install on that external. If the install completes then it more then likely the drive is bad. If it crashes again then it is more then likely some other piece of hardware in your system.

After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it.

The page load progress bar that was on the lower right of the window is no longer there. After updating to the latest version of Firefox on my Mac there is no progress bar for the page load. I really miss this feature and can't seem to find a way to obtain it. The tab has a circular progress wheel but this is useless for determining a stuck or slow loading page.
PLEASE NOTE: I am typing this in from a Windows based work computer but am asking about my Apple MacBook Pro that i use at home.

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Another possibility is to use:

When I try to empty trash, progress bar stops, and I have to reset finder

This has been happening for about a week or so. Regardless of what the files are, I am unable to delete them. Whether I do a standard empty trash, or a secure empty trash, I end up with the same progress bar that stops during the process. I've let it sit for several minutes and over an hour, leaving me the only option of doing a force restart of finder.
Currently I am unable to delete anything, putting a serious hold on my workflow.
It appears that many people are having all kinds of trash issues with Snow Leopard. I'm assuming Apple is working on a fix, but I'm not sure when that's coming out. Until then, if there is some kind of work-around, I'd love to know about it.
Any guesstimates on when Apple will release the next OS update?
Cheers.
Ben

Internet recovery gets stuck on the spinning globe with the progress bar below.

Hello Everybody!
I'm trying to fix the iMac (27-inch, Mid 2010) of my friend. He said it doesn't boot anymore and just gets stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel below. So my first step was to go into the Startup Manager by pressing the Option key after the chime. There I was presented with the Macintosh HD and the Recovery HD. After selecting the Recovery HD to access the Disk Utilities I got stuck on the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning wheel again. So I guess the data on the drive is corrupted and might have to be replaced. But before I do that, I wanted to give the Internet Recovery a try. I connected the iMac to the internet using an ethernet cable and pressed Command + Option + R after the chime and the spinning globe appeared with the info: "starting recovery process from network. This may take a while". After a short time the sentences are replaced by a progress bar and a timer that is counting up. The progress bar then moved for a tiny little bit and then nothing happens anymore but the timer keeps counting up. I waited for quiet some time before I gave up. I did not get any errors so I can't provide any other useful information. Can anyone give my some advice? I read in other posts that the ISPs of specific countries block ports which are needed for the internet recovery. I'm in Thailand right now. Does anyone know if that might cause the problem?
Thank you for all your help!

HT1212 My ipad mini has been crashing a lot recently so I started a system reset. However, it's now stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter gone: this has been the case for several days now. I have tried resetting from itunes but it needs the pass

Now it's stuck with the progress bar less than a quarter full. I have also tried resetting through itunes which works right up to the point where itunes states that it needs the passcode to be inputted into the ipad to connect to it. At which point it then sticks at the same progress bar point. HELP!! please, this ipad is really important to my work.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck
