Cpufreq info in KDE wiki entry

Hi all
In the powersaving section in the KDE wiki entry, it states that
Warning: Using Cpufreq in order to handle your CPU power schemes, that means, controlling it through software, IS NOT suggested for use since modern CPUs are capable of powersaving through their BIOSes.
If I get it right, it is suggested that it is better to not use cpufreq at all. The problem is that, without installing and configuring cpufreq, cpu scaling does not work (tested both in my laptop with intel core 2 duo and in my desktop pc with AMD Phenom II X4 955). Cpu scaling is enabled in BIOS in both machines. So, is this statement valid or am I missing sth?

@stqn: Man, you are angry...take it easy Apparently, we are talking about the cpu scaling option in the motherboard BIOS. Someone has spent time to make/edit the wiki entry, so a simple grammar mistake should not spoil him. Even if you don't like or use KDE, you could still correct this sentence since you consider it so important to worth a mention. Anyways, thanks for the feedback. I was struggling to achieve cpu scaling without cpufreq.
@flamelab: I have tried a few schemes with cpufreq and the powersaving feature in solid. I need to test a few more things and then I could probably provide some info in the wiki entry's relative section.

[wiki][proposal] Rewrite of the "Router" wiki entry

This is a proposal to establish rewrite and restructure the entire "Router" wiki article located at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT … connection (The wiki entry "Router" currently redirects here).
There has been much discussion of a rewrite in the #archlinux irc channel and a small number of users, including myself, wish to heavily rewrite and reorganize the information located at http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT … connection and http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NAT … d_features.
The current articles, while informative, are extremely lengthy and provide large amounts of unnecessary information when creating an Arch Linux router. Some of the steps provided in the entries above are hard to follow, are provided out of order, and require you to unnecessarily browse off-site links for one or two lines of additional text to be added to a configuration file instead of providing them for you. This can be very confusing or misleading to someone not familiar with setting up this type of system.
The rewritten entries would be divided into the following wiki entries - Router: Basic (redirected from "Router"), Router: Advanced.
The rewritten entries would contain similar information to the original entries, however with some sections removed, reorganized or relocated and easier to follow. This would be able to ensure accessibility and usability of the Router entry for novice users, and at the same time allow more advanced users to additionally tweak their router.
Due to the large amount of information provided by both existing entries, a third "Draft" entry would be proposed - Router: Draft.
This would be a public wiki entry where those who wish to contribute to the rewrite of these articles can join and provide feedback to the existing status of the rewrite project. This would allow the information currently present on the existing pages to still be usable while the rewrite is taking place. Once the draft has been deemed usable enough to replace the existing entries, the draft page will be removed and the existing entries will be replaced by the newly rewritten router entries.
Note: It came to my attention that it may just be wiser creating the Router: Basic and Router: Advanced pages and doing the rewrite on each respective page instead. During the time of the rewrite, an "article in progress" notice can be displayed informing users that the article itself may not be ready and should be followed at their own risk. As it stands, Router: Draft will be unnecessary.
Those of us who are adament about rewriting these entries are curious to hear the community response to this proposal. We are going to begin rewriting the entries very soon and would like others to contribute or review our works on a regular basis. Please let us know what you think, as we would like to hear the community suggestions and insight on this proposal.

@roadmap..
Nice work guys...
One suggestion... dont include unnecessary(ie details available on other parts of wiki) details...
IMO you can nuke this whole part without any loss of content because anybody who is going to install arch on a router will already be familiar with pacman and upgrading etc.
On a default installation, Arch Linux does not come with what you will need to configure an Arch Linux router. You will need to install some additional packages to make Arch Linux function how we intend to. For this task, we will be using the package manager pacman.
Tip: If you want more information on pacman and its uses, please see the Pacman wiki page
[edit] Upgrading Your Packages
If you have not done so already, you should go ahead and update your installation to the latest packages. You can do this by running the following command from the command line.
pacman -Syu
Allow it to proceed and once it has finished, continue to the next part of this tutorial.
This is just my opinion and people may differ, but i find lot of wiki pages (xorg/beginners guide to mention two) to be bloated with excess info instead of linking to relevant part of wiki.
I have thought about your inquiry and my response is hard to put it in perspective. I do agree with your philosophy about the fact that the specific section is unnecessary. However, those who may be attempting to setup an Arch Router may not have any internet access, outside of the Arch Router machine itself, at the time they are following the tutorial.
You have to remember that this is a tutorial/howto, and a good tutorial should contain all information necessary to complete the desired task. If someone should desire more information about a particular application or have a differing situation to the one that the tutorial is trying to achieve, then linking them to more information about each application may provide additional help to their situation.
That was one of my complaints with the previous Router entry: it would send you off site to find one or two lines of config that could have just very well been included into the original article. It expected you to have full internet access while telling you flat out to tear apart your network in the process, and by doing so destroyed parts of its usability.
With that being said, you have to remember that the current state of Router: Basic is incomplete and if anything a "draft". Once its complete, it will probably end up going through a few more revisions to ensure all the information provided is correct and necessary. You are more than welcome to add your own changes and information to it. The more help and input the better the article will be. So if you do feel like that section should be removed, feel free to change it at your leisure.

Organizing package building wiki entries

Right now we have three separate wiki entries that describe the package building in Arch:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arc … _Standards
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The … guidelines
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS … _Explained
I started maintaining packages a few months ago, and while I was learning how to build packages I was getting a little tired of having to sift through multiple resources with duplicate information. This is kind of a shameless plug, but I took the entries, updated and re-wrote them:
http://www.bytetrap.com/blog/2008/09/16 … rch-linux/
Thoughts? Every factoid mentioned in those three wiki entries -should- be mentioned in my post. If I get enough thumbs up I'd be happy re-organize the current three wiki entries into the single entry that I compiled.

I noticed in the "preparing the file'" section you recommend using pacman -Up (package file). What is the benefit of using the -p flag?
-p, --file
Signifies that the package supplied on the command line is a file and not an entry in the database. The file will be decompressed and queried. This is useful in combination with --info and --list.
I'm just wondering because I've never used it. Nice work!
I took that line pretty much verbatim from the wiki entry, but the -p flag I believe ensures that you install the package that you built instead of the pre-built binary from the pacman database. So this only really applies/comes in handy if you build a package from the PKGBUILD file when the binary already exists, preventing you from installing the binary.
Also, I don't think this is usually a big problem either because the package you build is usually named pkgname.tar.gz, while when you query a package via pacman, you just use the pkgname. So you usually just do pacman -U pkgname.tar.gz instead of pacman -U pkgname anyway. If for some reason your package file was named pkgname, you would have to use the -p flag to ensure that you install your pakcage instead of the pre-built binary.

[Solved] Visual Boy Advance: Wiki-Entry out of date

Hi!
The Wiki-Entry for VBA is out of date. The package isn't longer available and has been removed. The only thing I could find now is the replacement (?) vba-m in the AUR.

All the best,

Thanks for that. But mednafen isn't that comfortable to use. If you just wan't to use GB/GBA-Games, vba-m is far better to use (just my opinion).
I will update the Wiki-Entry now.
Edit: Done.

Delete wiki entries

Does anyone know how to delete wiki entries from the OS file system command line? My wiki got spammed, and I have lots of entries to delete. I don't want to have to open each entry and click on -, and specifiy to 'permantantly delete' each spam entry.
For one spam entry, I tried deleting the /Library/Collaboration/Groups/MyWiki/wiki/#####.page directory, but that leaves a link to the spam entry in my 'Recent Changes' list on the wiki page. And when I click on that entry, I get 'page not found'. So, there is another place that the spam entry is listed, but where???
Sometimes you have to delete a db file and rebuild it, but I have no idea if that's the case here or what db file that would be.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Cannot change KDE menu entries

Hi all!
I installed Enemy Territory and I wanted to edit the menu entry in KDE.
I command from et to et2, an edited version of et.
When I save the menu and look back I see the entry has not changed.
How can I get KDE to remember my changes?
I use KDE 3.3.2 and Arch 0.7
Thanks!

try this:
cd ~/.kde
find |grep :
If you see a quite long path with a number of colons, that is the problem. This happened to me on both the current KDE, 3.2 and 3.1. I don't know the reason WHY it happens, but deleting the path fixed my problems with the menu.

"Account Info Needed" and Calendar entries disappear

This is a side problem in conjunction with the perpetual "Install Update" problem (see here: http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Link/10-1-0-4181-won-t-stop-trying-to-load-and-now...
The BBQ10 device stops connecting to my desktop Outlook (calendar, contacts, tasks)
Symptoms:
Calendar entries disappear after a simple screen refresh.
"Account Info Needed" keeps repeating.
When updating the Account, this error appears: "There was an unexpected error and the operation was canceled"
The only way to temporarily fix this is to delete my account on the device and recreate it. I've done that three times just today. The data comes back fine then disappears again.
Any tricks on making the account stay put?

It's been 24 hours with neither of these 2 symptoms occuring. What did I do? I deselected the "Turn on wireless connections to my computer".
Wth the bluetooth still enabled, my PC connects to the device as a storage device (which is all I really need for data/file transfer anyway). The Calendar entries are perfect - back and forth.
I'd be interested in hearing from others if this helped them.
(NOTE: the DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION BSOD still happens when the device is connected to the PC for any time longer than the backup or sync. That's an altogether different issue.)

Enabling a customer info type for fast entry

I would like to enable a customer info type, info type in the 9000 range, for fast entry. Your assistance in this regard will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Mark
Thanks for your help in this forum, as always.
I was able to add the new contact type to the table from SM30 but as mentioned in my original question, the contacts created using this new contact type is not editable. When a business user opens the work item at a later day and wishes to update the contact, the change button is not appearing against these contacts. We can see the change button against every other item which were created using the SAP delivered options.
I was wondering if there is any other table where we can maintain an entry to make this editable.

Question about nouveau wiki entry (keep both drivers installed?)

In this section:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/No … _installed
It talks about ways to keep both drivers installed. As far as I can tell both drivers cannot be installed at the same time because of the conflicting packages "mesa-libgl" and "nvidia-libgl". Is there in fact a way to have both of these packages installed? Seems like in that entry section there is a lot of useful information. Not sure which sections to keep and which to rename / move etc.. Wanted to put up a discussion about this first to see what needs to be done if anything.
Last edited by dodo3773 (2013-12-10 20:28:39)

I agree on "keep both drivers installed" issue.
I've done some modifications to the nouveau -> nvidia and the other way round scripts, too (so they'll install/ uninstall the way they should). Might add that tomorrow.

Emesene no kde menu entry anymore?

Didn't see any posts that looked relevent in the past few days. Since my last update, emesene has gone missing from my kde menu. It is still installed, and still works, but the nice convenient launcher in the menu has gone AWOL. Anyone else notice this? I tried doing a pacman -Rus emesene to remove everything and then reinstalling, but still gone.
I'd prefer not to create the launcher myself as in the past when I've manually created Kmenu entries it always ends up throwing the whole menu out of whack.
Obviously, not a GIANT issue, but would be convenient to be able to fix it.

[Solved]Query regarding wiki entry of gpg signature

In the Beginner's Guide it is mentioned that,
You will need to temporarily edit the /etc/pacman.conf file and set SigLevel to Never, this will disable the signature check of the packages. And ignore warnings suggesting you to upgrade pacman.
Ok. I changed SigLevel to Never installed packaages upto setting up a DE. Now to what value should I change SigLevel?
Should I generate a new master-key as well?

File info and IPTC data entry help?

hello,
having updated to P/S CS5, some of the file info box(es) changes have started to annoy me. Maybe I`m doing someting wrong :-(
but what annoys me most is having created a template that I use when I import pictures through bridge, when I open it again the file info details in the description box are highlighted and the cursor jumps and goes to the last item in the box, I then have to drag the box down to make it larger, reposition the cursor to add further items, all this takes time especially on deadline where I might have 15 images to caption individually before sending.
I have tried saving the file info template with a larger description box but no joy, it just reverts to the original size.
My other main annoyance is the small font size, which when inputting lots of caption is to be honest, a pain. Maybe I need to use a seperate caption maker, any suggestions? or do I just need to spend a lot of time trying to not let this upset me.
If anyone has a trick on how to input and caption file info any quicker or better I would really appreciate your help.
thanks, Dave.

when you insert/update the data in your db use
<cfqueryparam> tag - it
will automatically escape all necessary characters.
at output, i assume you are displaying the data in a text
input form
field, the problem is not with cf or your data, but with the
basic html:
<input type="text"
value="#some-cf-variable-with-double-quotes#">
when the value of cf var contains double quotation marks, the
rendered
html will look like:
<input type="text" value="0.36" in diameter">
see where the problem is? the value displayed in the field
will be just
0.36, and the browser will ignore the rest of the code.
cf has built-in functions to work around this, like
xmlformat() or
htmleditformat()

Adding Display Only Assignment info on OTL timekeeper Entry form.

Hi
My company is using OTL timekeeper Entry PUI form to record the attendance of employees. Our users want to have Employee's Organization from primary assignment to be automatically populated in a static field so that they can check if employee is in right organization or not at the time of data entry.
I don't want to add LOV using alternate names in the form because it requires additional button clicks for the users.
Can anyone help how we can add static field (Just like employee name appear after we add employee id) for Organization name in PUI Timekeeper Entry form?
Regards
Syed Salman

Can someone help on this?
I am just looking for an example (may be with a 2 column matrix), not somebody to write full code as per my requirements for me.
