Conky won't use double buffer anymore?

i posted the other day having issues setting up dual monitors, not that i got any help, but figured i'd mention. anyway, since i've had the dual monitors setup, conky won't run using double buffering for some reason. its in my conky config, and DBE is being loaded in my xorg.conf. so its bugging me now. wondering is anyone has a clue here. my system is fully up to date as of right now, and running an nvidia card, so nvidia driver on a 7900GS video card, might be an 8800, i forget which card is in which box at the moment
here's my conky config

Hi @Arboria9 ,
I see that you are experiencing issues printing two-sided from Yosemite. I would like to help you resolve this issue.
You have pretty much have done all the steps that I would have provided.
Are you still able to print two-sided from the Windows computer?
Are you missing the option to select two-sided printing in the print driver?
Check the driver name that is installed for the printer. Make sure it shows just the printer's name.
Click the Apple menu and then click System Preferences. Click Printers & Scanners, highlight the printer name on the left side and on the right side of the screen it should show the printer's name. (Officejet 6500)
If the full printer name isn't listed correctly, delete it and add the printer name back in from the list. Click the - sign to delete the driver and then click the + sign to add the driver, might have to click the drop down to select the printer's name to add it in.
How was the printer name listed?
If you need further assistance, just let me know.
Have a great day!
Thank You.

  • Need to output 8 channels using double buffer

    Hi,
    I need to ouput 8 channels to the DAQ card.
    I am getting an array 8 bytes of data every 10 milliseconds.
    Each byte corresponds to a channel.
    I am using your WFMDoubleBuffer.c code.
    The changes I have made are :
    1. Changed the buffer from 32K to 16 bytes. I am assuming 8 bytes with double buffer = 16 bytes
    2. I'm not sure about updateRate, so I set it to 1.0
    Result : I get an error from WFM_Group_Control(). It says "The operation could not complete within the time limit", error = -10800
    I have attached the file for your reference.
    Please help me.
    Thanking you in anticipation

    Chandra,
    The timeout error here is slightly misleading. The reason this is happening is caused by a few things. By default, the card to setup to transfer data when the onboard FIFO is full, and so your half buffer must be the same size or large than your FIFO unless you have regeneration turned on. Regeneration will cause your buffer to be copied as many times as possible into the FIFO until it is full. Your 6713 has an AO FIFO size of 16,384. So your buffer size must be twice this, so that your half buffer is >= 16384. Where is your data coming from at these 10 ms intervals, from a program or another device? This could affect what method would be the best solution.
    If you want to keep working on this, let�s stick to one channel, I sent you an email, did you get
    it?

  • Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw won't print double sided anymore

    Hello.   I have a Hp Color Laserjet pro M177fw until about three weeks ago it would print double sided no problems.  I have used this printer on my pc and now my mac with no problems previously.  I am running a Macbook Pro (less then six months old) which is running 10.10.1 (Yosemite).  I attend college and I know at the end of last quarter during finals week (Dec. 15th) I still had the ability to do 2 sided printing.  Sometime between then and the new quarter starting last monday I lost the ability to do 2 sided printing.  After scouring the internet I have tried everything they suggest:
    Uninstalling printer and reinstalling
    resetting the printer setting on the mac and then reinstalling printer
    resetting the printer settings on mac, rebooting and then reinstalling printer
    installing older drivers( hp automatically installs newest drivers even if you use an older driver file)
    resetting physical printer to factory default and reconnecting to wireless network.
    repairing the disk permissions
    The only new software I have installed on the computer in the last three weeks is Adobe Creative Cloud and the printing problem preexisted that installation.

  • Using UserControl to show bitmap flicker, I have used double buffer

    Hi!
    I have created a coustom control derived from a UserControl using C#, and I created a bitmap to draw every component, and then draw this bitmap to the screen. But, when I pan this picture, it refresh from top to bottom in the control, and cause a flicker,
    you can see many horizontal lines flicker in it.
    So, what can I do to fix this problem?

  • Why are many of my toolbar bookmarks suddenly missing, & why can't I designate where to put bookmarks now? Star won't accept double-clicks anymore.

    All of a sudden yesterday I can no longer click the star twice to tell it where to put the bookmark, and even when I click it once it doesn't save the bookmark anywhere. Also many of my toolbar bookmarks are now suddenly missing. I've tried to restore bookmarks and it says it's unable to perform that function. Help!

  • When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

    When they un-upgrade iPhoto email templates? Along with Apple Maps, another software I won't use anymore.

    You can go back by restoreing your backup of the iPhoto library from the previous version a installing the previous version for its original source
    Of course I use iPhoto - and I have not idea what
    Do you use iPhoto? What version are you using and have you sent photos using it from the iPhoto and used the older templates?
    means
    one last time if you want help you have to start by being percise and shaing information - for example "older version" is of no help since there are 40 or 50 older versions
    again
    Sorry but if you have a question then you need to provide information  - what are you talking about? What version of iPhoto and what OS version do you have? What upgrade are you talking about? what e-mail client are you using?

  • [SOLVED!] Conky won't run undecorated, please assist.

    Greetings,
    As suggested in my other thread, I have been working on customizing a conky script that simply shows the time, date, calendar, current weather, and forecast, and I have completed it.
    However I have ran into a problem. Up until I basically had it completed, it would run fine undecorated without any window borders and the like. But now it won't, and it laughs at me instead. If I want to see my conky, I have to have it decorated in the window border, which is a pain and something I don't want. I want it to simply blend in with my desktop.
    Anyways, I am hoping someone can help me solve this. I know it runs. If I set it to decorate, it pops up, info and all. If I set it to undecorate, it laughs at me, but shows up lxtask and htop.

    Again, all I need help with is having it run undecorated without any window decoration. I am running Fluxbox as my WM. If you need any other info, please let me know. Thanks.

    Yes that works! Thanks!
    About the widget; I used Sid's conky script from the conky screenshot as my base, it was the first conky I had tried. Though I only ended up keeping the forecast portion after editing it massively...
    I think it must have been the own_window_hints throwing me off.

  • What is the best way to double buffer in this case and how to do it....

    currently I have
    public class Frame1 extends JFrame{
    //inside this class I call up circle class, rectangle class, etc.... to draw
    }I am making a "paint" program, and I have individual classes to handle the paint methods heres an example:
    abstract public class Shape {
        public Shape() {
        public abstract void draw(Graphics g, Color c, int x, int y, int width,int height);
    }and then....
    public class Circle extends Shape{
        public Circle() {
        public void draw(Graphics g, Color c, int oldx, int oldy, int newx, int newy) {
            g.setColor(c);
            g.drawOval(Math.min(oldx, newx), Math.min(oldy, newy), Math.abs(oldx - newx), Math.abs(oldy - newy));
    }There is also a Rectangle class, line class.... etc! So my question to you is the following... what is the best way to implement double buffer in the individual classes? And how to do it?? And also.... the drawings should be kept inside a jPanel.
    Any bit of help is much appreciated Thank you!!

    You don't need to do double-buffering. Swing
    components are double-buffered by default. Just make
    sure you override paintComponent() and not paint().
    And even if you had to, why would there be any
    difference in implementation for your classes whether
    they paint to on- or off-screen graphics?I need to override paintComponent()? what if I don't...
    I am using JBuilder2005 and they automate somethings for me. So thats how they did it when they created the application they did this....
    public class Frame1 extends JFrame{
    /*** all my code here***/
    public class Application1 {
        boolean packFrame = false;
         * Construct and show the application.
        public Application1() {
            Frame1 frame = new Frame1();
            // Validate frames that have preset sizes
            // Pack frames that have useful preferred size info, e.g. from their layout
            if (packFrame) {
                frame.pack();
            } else {
                frame.validate();
            // Center the window
            Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
            Dimension frameSize = frame.getSize();
            if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height) {
                frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
            if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width) {
                frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
            frame.setLocation((screenSize.width - frameSize.width) / 2,
                              (screenSize.height - frameSize.height) / 2);
            frame.setVisible(true);
            try {
                jbInit();
            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
         * Application entry point.
         * @param args String[]
        public static void main(String[] args) {
            SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                public void run() {
                    try {
                        UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.
                                                 getSystemLookAndFeelClassName());
                    } catch (Exception exception) {
                        exception.printStackTrace();
                    new Application1();

  • [SOLVED]Xorg crash with some applications when using double screen

    Hi,
    I have a TV that I often use to watch dvd from my computer, and to do that I've set it up as a second screen in my xorg.conf, but on a daily basis I use a xorg.conf file with only my main screen. Up until last week I was able to use my second screen without problem, but yesterday I tried and it crashed instantly.
    So I ran a few tests, amsn and vlc seems to be 2 applications that makes X crash (though there might be other, but I seem to be able to use chromium firefox and ktorrent just fine).
    My WM is not to blame, I've launched X without any WM and vlc still makes X crash.
    The problem does not happen when using a single screen.
    I thought that my xorg.conf might be the problem, so I used nvidia-settings to create a new one, but that didn't change anything.
    Here are my xorg.conf used for dual screen, and the logfile from the Xorg crash:

    Sorry this doesn't really help with the Xinerama problem, but since you are using the nvidia driver, have you considered using Twinview instead? You could do composite stuff too with Twinview - last I knew, Xinerama had problems with things that want to use compositing. I don't know how your setup is but if you're not set on using Xinerama, it might be an option to consider.

  • To double buffer or not double buffer..that is the question

    i am not very familiar with double buffering but am reading examples
    of it now. Im not doing animaiton and i dont think im doing alot of
    drawing to the screen but im arookie so its hard to tell. Can you tell
    me if i should implement double buffering by looking at my code. Im
    wondering cuz my webpage is a mess.(http://ktowndrivewaysealing.tripod.com).
    i have trailing components and flickering and i dont know how to fix it.

    It seems you aren't using any animation in this applet, so you won't have to use double buffering... :)

  • GIMP won't open PDF files anymore

    I just reinstalled my system and noticed that GIMP won't open PDF files anymore. I remember being able to use GIMP to open PDFs and save them as high resolution images.... Am I missing something?

    Make sure you have poppler-glib installed.
    If you have imagemagick installed you might also want to try "convert my.pdf my.jpg". It will be done before gimp opens.

  • Conky won't stay below other windows...

    Hellu!
    I'm currently using conky with a conkyrc from my Ubuntu laptop which works quite well... Problem is, when Compiz is started, Conky suddently wants to stay on top of all other windows. Restarting conky fixes the problem, but I'd rather not restart conky everytime i login to the system... Anyone know how to fix this?
    Also. Is there a way to add conky to compiz' widget-layer and still have it below all other windows? Basically, I want it on the desktop unless i hit a key, which makes it come on top of everything.
    Heres my conky configuration:

  • IPhone won't auto launch iTunes anymore

    I just updated to Lion and the new version of iTunes. When I plug in my iPhone, however, iTunes won't launch and autosync anymore. I checked the settings and, based on my preference settings, it should autolaunch. I tried to click and unclick on the setting, restart the computer, etc., but nothing will get iTunes to launch when I plug in my phone. If I launch iTunes manually, it will immediately begin syncing however. Any thoughts how I can go back to the old way?

    Same issue here. iTunes 10.4 doesn't seem to automatically install the iTunes Helper in your user login items.
    Here's what I did:
    Navigate to the Applications folder
    Right Click on iTunes and select Show Package Contents
    Navigate to Contents/MacOS/
    Double-click on iTunes Helper to get it running. This will allow iTunes to start when you plug in your iPhone/iPod
    Open System Preferences and go to Users & Groups
    Select the Login Items tab to view the list
    Drag iTunes Helper from the Finder into the Login Items to get it to run at login

  • DigiNotar CA Root - Now we can't use PPC macs anymore?

    Hello,
    To anyone who can respond to my question.. I just found out that Apple is no longer going to provide security updates to those running Leopard or even Tiger. Its regarding this Digitar CA Root certificate which can have disasterous consequences for us who still use and or enjoy PPC macs. Is there really a need to panic here or is it just me?
    I use my Power Mac G5 for everyday stuff while my Mac Pro lies on the floor, dismanteled as I don't know as of yet what to use it for. I am really concerned for my G5 and my information as I heavily use my G5 for everyday tasks. Should I be wary of this certificate in keychain? I followed all the instructions I foind out about this certificate on www.lowendmac.com, but I wonder if my system is still safe now that Apple won't provide security updates anymore to those who still use Leopard?
    I set my browsing to Private browsing in Safari 5.0.6, and also deleted the DigiNotar certificate in the keychain manager..
    Someone please shed some light on this..
    Thanks.
    Romko.

    Open Keychain Access
    Search for diginotar
    Inspect each DigiNotar Root CA certificate (right click > Get Info)
    Expand Trust
    Set When using this certificate: to Never Trust
    Not trusting a certificate should invalidate the complete subsequent keychain of trust but because of the bug in Safari/Mac EV SSL certificates still validate even if signed by an untrusted CA. Until this bug has been confirmed and fixed by Apple the only way to circumvent this problem is to delete all DigiNotar certificates from your keychain.
    http://www.io101.org/blog/howto/check-untrust-disable-diginotar-https-ssl-root-c a-certificate-mac-os/
    Download a package that will delete the DigiNotar Root CA certificates and will revoke the trust on the two root certificates and the four DigiNotar intermediate certificates. The package is now at version 2.1. Please use this version instead of versions 1.0 and 2.0.
    Update (11-Sep-2011 9:35 PM EDT): Apple has finally released an official fix for Snow Leopard and Lion. If you are running Leopard on PPC machines, the version 2.1 package has been tested and works with Leopard. Still no sign of an update for iOS, unfortunately.

  • You have popunders for Firefox 4 and I can't block them. I won't use the browser at all until this problem is fixed. leland.dobbs@ucsf.edu

    I have all popups blocked, but can't prevent the Firefox 4 informational one, which is very annoying. See above. I need a solution to this or I won't use Firefox anymore.

    Is it the "you just upgraded" page appearing in a new window? That is not supposed to appear after the first time. This article can help with troubleshooting the problem: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox%20has%20just%20updated%20tab%20shows%20each%20time%20you%20start%20Firefox Firefox has just updated tab shows each time you start Firefox | Troubleshooting | Firefox Help].
    If it is some other page, you may have malware or a very poorly behaved add-on. Can you post the URL of the pop-under?
