Change volume with compiz on xfce

hi im using an eeepc 1000h and the fn+volume controls don't work out of the box. i was wondering if there was an alsa command to bump up the volume by +10 or -10 with alsa so i could add that to the keybindings with compiz.

Changing volume with internet radio on E63

I've got some channels saved in my favourites but can't figure out how to change the volume. With FM, it's obvious but not so (to me anyway!) with internet radio.
Can anyone advise me how to change the volume? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply.

How do you change volume permissions with Solaris Volume Manager?

(Previously posted in "Talk to the Sysop" - no replies)
I'm trying to set up Solaris 9 to run Oracle on raw partitions. I have my design nailed down and I have built all the raw partitions I need as soft partitions on top of RAID 1 volumes. All this is built using Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
However, all the partitions are still owned by root. Before I can create my Oracle database, I need to change the owner of the Oracle partitions to oracle:oinstall. The only reference I found telling me how to do this was in a Sun Blueprint and it essentially said "You can't change volume permissions directly or permanently using SVM and chown will only remain effective until the next reboot. To make the changes permanent, you must modify /etc/minor_perm". Unfortunately, I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere and the online man pages are not particularly helpful (at least not to me).
I'd appreciate a quick pointer, either to a good online resource or, even better, a simple example. For background, the volumes Oracle needs to own are:
/dev/md/rdsk/d101-109
/dev/md/rdsk/d201-203
/dev/md/rdsk/d301-303
/dev/md/rdsk/d401-403
/dev/md/rdsk/d501-505
I provide this information because I'd like to assign some, but not all, of the devices under /dev/md/rdsk to the oracle user and I was hoping some smart person out there could illustrate an approach using simle regular expressions, at which I'm horribly poor.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Ron, I feel your pain. I just came from an HTC also and a lot of stuff with this iPhone is bugging the crap out of me. Who makes a phone where you can't adjust the ringer and alert volumes independently? Instead, I have to adjust the alert volume when it is active. C'mon guys. Get with the program. You won a bunch of Android users over with the 4S, but you're going to chase us all back when we're done with our contract. Frustrating.

P755-S5269 volume control makes loud annoying BEEPS with each press to change volume or mute

I'm having an issue with the volume contol on my P755-S5269 making loud beeps when I adjust the volume.
It may have seemed sensable to make a noise which is indicative of the volume you might expect to hear when playing media however it seems to be the same LOUD BEEP VOLUME with each press of the - or + volume control.
I find that this is especially annoying when adjusting the volume at lower levels as it overrides whatever media is being played with FULL VOLUME BEAPING for each press to adjust the volume. This happens both with the speakers or with headphones and it seems like a poor design choice that hopefully can be controled through software or BIOS.
This LOUD BEEP also happens when toggling the mute button to silent wich seems especially rude when trying to ensure a silent laptop session.
Any suggestions would be appreciated otherwise I guess I'll have to use the workaround avoid the hardware control and only use the windows volume slider.

And after a little exploration, I found how you can turn the beep off completely. Go to Control Panel/Sound/Sounds Tab/Scroll to Default Beep and Select it/In Sounds box below is probably "Windows Ding"/Click on drop down arrow in the box/Scroll to top and select "None"/Apply/OK. Whew!!! Result--No more beep when you adjust volume with the regular sliders.

Unable to manage volume with my bluetooth car kit

I have a bluetooth car kit Parot CK-3000 and the volume is very low and I can't change it with my new Nokia phone 6120. With my previous phone (Sony-Ericsson, SPV) it was running well but with my new phone I can't change the volume of my bluetooth car kit and I can't manage it with the specific menu.
Can you help-me on this subject ?
Thank's in advance.

Hi fct24
I don't know which firmware version your phone is running, key in *#0000# on standby screen as there have been several posts in the past concerning this issue.
Do you have to set Parrot up as an "enhancement", I know "headset" will be listed but is there a "car kit" option?
Is Parrot using their latest software?

Really interesting bug with Compiz, not sure how to label it

Hi forums, I really promise I searched around for this, so if this is a super common bug, I apologize in advance (I really wasn't sure how to even label what was happening). All I know is that when compiz is enabled, I'm getting super weird behavior in programs, mostly with terminal and system menus. The only way I know to show this is by a screenshot:
http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h248/ … 0c7d62.png
As you can see from the pic, there are multiple menu objects highlighted (I promise I don't have 3 mouse pointers!). I couldn't capture this via screenshot, but the highlighted elements are actually alternating between this set and another. I could show more instances of this, but I think it would just be redundant. Another (possibly related) issue is the odd behavior in terminal. When I am using terminal to do something, be it accessing the AUR repository or editing a file somewhere, or anything really, the terminal scrolls up and down exactly 1 line, repeatedly (very fast). The only other place I experience significant issues is with compizconfig settings manager (ccsm). When trying to access a different menu, the ccsm window flashes very quickly back and forth to the previous menu screen. All of these things make it incredibly difficult to make selections. My browser (chrome) is fortunately exempt from this dilemma.
The only thing I know for sure is that this is caused by compiz. Disabling compiz (going back to xfwm or using another window manager) eliminates the issue. I hadn't had this issue until yesterday, but I really hadn't changed anything.
Things I've tried:
- Reinstalling compiz
- Enabling/Disabling Emerald
- Installing compiz-bzr
- Fooling with metacity
- Restarting
Any advice or words of wisdom on this would be very appreciated

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually using a slightly older nvidia gpu (480 GTX) with nvida-340xx, which is what nvidia recommends. I've worked with changing video driver parameters, and nothing there has seemed to change this much. I was afraid this was being caused by a mistake of mine, but it seems more and more likely that this is a problem with compiz: to test, I made a virtual machine and installed arch there (same setup as mine, only completely fresh) and I'm having the same issues. I like compiz because of the amazing ability to theme and control the general appearance of my gui. Is there a good alternative that one of you all could recommend?

[Solved] Multiple wallpapers on MATE with Compiz

Hi.
I wanted to make MATE work with Compiz so it would let me have multiple wallpapers with the Wallpapers feature in ccsm. When I set the settings in ccdm, it doesn't work.
I googled it, and although it showed me a few settings I should change in the configuration editor, it did nothing.
What should I do so I can make it work?
EDIT: solved. Basically, I removed nautilus (I don't want to use it anymore) -- it was also conflicting with caja, and set the show_desktop in apps/caja/preferences to false.
Note: setting the show_desktop to false will mean removing icons from desktop. I don't know how to put them back up, but I will look it up later.

Ah, of course, Nautilus was managing the desktop. You can turn that off from Nautilus in its preferences so you can still use it as the file manager (if I remember right). Well that's how it worked with Gnome 2 anyway. BTW, isn't Caja their name for Nautilus, so the same thing?
As for icons, I don't use or want those on my desktop so I've never looked into a replacement functionality but this might be something you have to give up to have Compiz manage the wallpapers.
p.s. If you're looking for an amazing file manager then check out SpaceFM.
It's just a file manager, right?
I'm looking at it right now, it looks amazing.

How do I control itunes volume with my Apple Remote?

Hey,
I have been using the Apple remote for a while now, but recently i have got a airplay device, for which the volume from the mac can be controlled only by the itunes volume slider and not the mac volume.
can someone please guide as to how i can change the itunes volume with the remote?

I don't know how to do it with the actual silver Apple Remote. However with the Remote app on you phone then the volume control is at the bottom just like normal. When you use the Airplay symbol to send the content to the airplay device say Apple TV you can use the volume slider to control the volume.

Earpod headset doesn't change volume when iPhone 5 is on charge?

When my iPhone is put on charge my headset's volume buttons don't change volume, however when I take the phone off charge it starts working again. It is not a hardware issue as I have recently got my earpods replaced on warranty, I suspect it's to do with the iOS's accessory feature mistaking the charger for a dock of some kind and disabling the headphones from interacting. I am currently on iOS 6.1. Thanks, Oliver

Hi Bobi1346,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities and for including the error number you are getting.

KDE with compiz or beryl ? Compiz still needs many gnome dependencies?

Hi
I'm going to install new x86_64 arch on my laptop and wondering about installing compiz - I'm using KDE and I have question - does compiz still need so many gnome deps or it's better with this now ? For now on my x86 desktop I use beryl 0.2.1 and no problem here but in the future I'll have to change beryl to compiz so I need to know this gnome-deps thing... anyone uses KDE with compiz ?
Thanks in advance

Just install compiz-core and the kde decorator. It only requires gconf/gtk2.
FYI: KDE4 is introducing its own composting effects in KWin, so you won't be needing compiz/beryl if you use KDE in a few months

I have to select a file – get Info – and change – open with and change from preview to another program and CHANGE ALL everytime I boot up

Why do I have to select a file – get Info – select – open with – and change from Preview to another program and click CHANGE ALL with every file extention everytime I boot up.

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

XGL/Compiz on Xfce?

Hi!
I think it could be nice to play a little witj XGL/Compiz on Xfce, but how do I do?
I have a Intel graphics card... The guide on the Wiki don't seems to work right

what options would you recommend for intel cards? cause i tried it on my intel laptop and it was slow, maybe that was the problem. thanks for any help

karsten wrote:you don't have to, the script takes the 3rd choice automatically, being neither nvidia nor ati. just run it and it will work fine.
The only thing that command line option affects are the -accel options that are given to Xgl. Ati cards and Nvidia cards work best with different ones. Intel cards don't actually work at all with those options (which means slightly slow rendering), so putting your chipset there should have no effect at all.

ITunes volume with headphones..

Can you Change the iTunes volume with my apple headphones? Why the F not? For $60.00 they should be able to do alot.

Hi - UndeWaterLuv and So True.. had this same exact issue yesterday when on the plane using my new ipad 4th generation as a much cheaper alternative to the inflight viewing prices.. I read some older posts that spoke about different volumes - and, like you, I had my earphone and the movie volume both set to maximum and still had trouble hearing the sound over the background noise of the plane..
for reasons best known only to apple, here's how to remedy the situation: (and thanks to the guys who originally posted this fix which i think they said worked on an iphone etc) .
Go into settings menu, go to sounds menu and you will see the option for the volume for the sound effects and tones - by default, mine was set to medium.. you will also notice that under the slide bar to change the volume, the device says ' this volume will not be effected by the up and down or slide buttons' (or something to this effect) - slide this up to 3/4 or full if you want - it will respond by playing back a standard ring tone (normally mariamba) to show you the volume you have set- this doesn't really matter as i'm not in the habit of using my ipad as a phone or recieving calls thru it.. retrun to the video you were watching, and voila! the volume is increased by that same amount! you can then adjust to normal level using the slide.
WHY in all things holy would they do this?? not sure, but at least there is a get-a-round..
Now I wont have to pack my noice cancelling headphones after all..
enjoy

No sound from Sub, Rear L/R, Centre, when changing volume (X-Fi xtremegamer, 5.1 T61

Hey, since this week I got a really strange problem, I first noticed it when in games, i don't hear people coming from the back anymore, and music doesn't sound as crisp anymore. At first the rear right was switched around with the sub and some other strange stuff going on, and now it affects 4 speakers: the central speaker, the 2 rear speakers, and the subwoofer. When i click on standard configuration(dunno how it is exactly in english, cus i have the?dutch version, but it changes everything into default), they work again. I started customizing everything again, and tested if they were working, but same problem: only front left/right were working. After some testing I found out that it occurs as soon as i change the volume with the main volume knob. By default it is something like 74%, and after changing it to something else, the problem occurs, even if turned back to 74.
Does someone know how to fix it's

I have the EXACT SAME proublem. At first I thought my card went bad because I lost 3 channels but after hitting the defult button all the speakers started working again. For me it also seems that if I change the master volume on the soundblaster controll pannel to anything other then defult I then lose the same 3 channels. However if I use window's volume controll (single click on the speaker in the task tray), or the volume adjustment on my keyboard I have no proublems.
