Desktop API Gnome libraries

Hi,
Documentation says
Use the Desktop.isDesktopSupported() method to determine whether the Desktop API is available. On the Solaris Operating System and the Linux platform, this API is dependent on Gnome libraries. If those libraries are unavailable, this method will return false
Any idea what these libraries are ? I am specifically looking for the gnome libraries required.

I figured it out. In Fedora, you need to install libgnome library (I used sudo yum install libgnome)

Application crashes when trying to open jpg with Desktop API

Hi, i would like to open jpg, or gif files using Desktop API, and the application crashes.The Desktop API is supported by my OS, because txt files, or file directories can be opened, mails can be sent, browsing is also supported.
Only jpg and gif, and i think other picture formats cannot be opened.
Obviously ACDSee and other picture viewing programs are installed in my computer.
The corresponding application code can be found at the bottom of the page of http://www.awprofessional.com/articles/article.asp?p=661371&seqNum=2&rl=1
my code:
if(Desktop.isDesktopSupported()){
Desktop desktop=Desktop.getDesktop();
try
desktop.open (fileToOpen);
catch (IOException ioe)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (frame,
"I/O problem");
catch (IllegalArgumentException iae)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (frame,
"File doesn�t exist");
fileToOpen is obviously a File.
Thx for the help in advance.

The Count value of IRimRecordsPtr is always 0.
This will happen, when the address data was written with Japanese.
In English, this problem is not happen.
<Problem 2> Send address book data to BB device
The address data, witch was written by Japanese, characters are garbled.
So I can't read.
I have changed the character code to "Shift-JIS", "UTF8", " UTF16-BE"

I have tried that already but the Itunes logo appears. It is currently connected to my laptop and iTunes but the iTunes logo is still there and it wants me to Restore it.. Which means I am going to lose everything?
Come on, we are in the year 2011! There needs to be a way I can restore all my picture/videos and all my important work documents, right, without losing it?!

My file association for jpg files is correct, if i click on a
jpg, ACDSee starts immediately.Although I am a long time Windoze non-user, I vaguely remember that there's a difference between correct file-type association being set and some application starting at a mouse click on a file icon. I also vaguely remember Windoze file-type association mechanism uses a few action-types. Java Desktop should expect a specific action-type for the association.

Desktop API functionality in newer Skype version (...

I work for a company that uses Desktop API to enable our devices to use call controls in Skype Desktop. All seems to be working up to Skype version 6.20.0.104. Newer version of Skype still have support, but returns values are now unexpected, and has broken our solution.
Consider the code below snippet for holding a call. I check if the active call has clsInProgress status. With newer version of Skype, the status is always clsRinging.
ICallCollectionPtr calls = m_pSkype_->ActiveCalls;
int numCalls = calls->Count;
for(int index=1;index<=numCalls;index++)
   ICallPtr call = calls->Item[index];
   TCallStatus status = call->GetStatus();
   if (status == clsInProgress)
       //[HandleCallRequest] - CallRequestHold
       hr = call->Hold();
       break;
I would normally post to developer community, but this site no longer exists. Can someone who knows please respond, or suggest an alternate action?
I appreciate the response.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a known issue in the latest 6.22 and 7.0 versions.

Group Calling: APP vs Desktop API

When I start a group call in the desktop API, if one party does not answer and it starts going to voicemail, I can hang up on just that one party while still talking to other participants. In the skype app for windows 8, that option does not appear available. If one party doesn't answer and it starts going to voicemail, I have to end the call for the whole group. Is there a way around this?

Access denied when using Desktop-API

Hi to all,
I have a client app that is launched using JWS. In my JNLP file I declared:
<security>
     <j2ee-application-client-permissions/>
</security>
and all jar-files are signed with the same certificate. This is working fine, but when I try to use the Desktop-API to open a folder on clients machine
Desktop.getDesktop().open(new File("/path/to/dir"));
it gives me
java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission <<ALL FILES>> execute)
     at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
     at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
     at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(Unknown Source)
     at java.awt.Desktop.checkExec(Unknown Source)
     at java.awt.Desktop.open(Unknown Source)
I even tried with
<security>
     <all-permissions/>
</security>
in JNLP. But it gives me the same Exception. I also tried to use a PrivilegedAction to make SecurityManager not check permissions, but it didn't help. At last thought about having my own policy-file. But I don't know how to tell the JWS app to use it.
Thanks for help in advance

Hi to all,
Deleting the cache works fine. But only for one start.
I found the JNLP in the cache has been automatically updated with the line
<update check="timeout" policy="always"/>
I thought this could be the problem, because if may be the SecurityManager finds JNLP in the cache being different from that one on the server, it "thinks" it has been hacked?
To avoid this difference, I added the line right from the beginning, but that didn't help.
BTW I signed all my jars, but the JNLP-File is just provided in the working dir of the app unsigned. Somewhere I read about JNLP-Files also signed. May be I have to sign it, too, or is it possible to have it packed in my application jar (then it will be signed with it)?
Thank for any hints
Christian

Where can I download the Skype Desktop API?

Title says it all.

Skype4Com.dll desktop API library is installed with each Skype installation. There is no separate download for this DLL module.

[Solved] Application launchers on desktop in Gnome 3.2?

So, I'm testing out gnome 3.2 again and I'm trying to create launchers on my desktop, but there doesn't appear to be an option for it in Gnome 3.2 when I right click my desktop. I have Nautilus drawing the desktop so did Gnome completely do away with this feature, and if so is there a way to manually create launchers (i'm assuming there is) using Gedit?

Fixed. Found the answer on the Fedora forums:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=*******
Type=Application
Exec=launchcommand
Icon=pathtoicon
Categories=***********
Save as .desktop file and done. Linux is cool

Using the Desktop API in Java SE 6 (Mustang)

<p>The Java platform continues to evolve, and Java applications can now integrate with the host desktop better than ever before. This new article describes how to integrate your Java application into the desktop using new Java SE 6 features:</p>

Hello to all,
this is some sort of theoretical question.
I been reading the JMS documentation for a while.
1.I could not understand what this statement means :
>
This section describes the ways in which using the JMS API in enterprise bean applications or web applications differs from using it in application clients.
What a developer is allowed to do is different depending on whether they are writing code to run in a container or not. The container already provides lots of services so some code you would write for outside a container is not needed when you write for a container. There are APIs that you are not allowed for in container code if you want to adhere to the spec.

2. What is the difference to use the JMS in java EE web orEJB container and application client ?
Thanks.Read more of that document to find out the differences. Application components in Web/EJBs must not create more than one active session per connection while application clients are allowed to do so.

Removing Desktop from gnome file dialogue places list

I recently installed nautilus and when i did it added Desktop to my list of places in the gnome file dialogue boxes.
As I use fluxbox I don't use the desktop and want to remove the link but the remove option is not enabled. How can I remove it?

Unfortunately tis broken!
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/gnome/bin/alacarte", line 22, in ?
from Alacarte.MainWindow import MainWindow
File "/opt/gnome/lib/python2.4/site-packages/Alacarte/MainWindow.py", line 19, in ?
import gtk, gtk.glade, gmenu, gobject, gnomevfs, gnome.ui
ImportError: No module named gnomevfs
Before I go to the trouble of finding the missing dependency, is the gnome file dialogue included in what this can edit? I'm asking as one of the dependencies it did install was gnome-menus which hints that it can modify those menus but possibly not the one I want.

Big desktop using gnome

I have successfully installed the ATI driver with big desktop configuration. (on xorg 6.7)
I'm using gnome as WM.
With my previous gfxcard using xinerama, if I maximized a window, it would maximize on the monitor it is on. The big desktop of ATI (which doesn't allow the xinerama option) streches the window over all monitors. (complete desktop) Same goes for the gnome panels that have the expand property. Also gdm shows the loginbox half on screen 1, half on second screen. Very handy :?
Is there any way to alter this behaviour so that it acts like the xinerama mode?
I haven't found anything on the internet about this, besides this post with simular question, though it doesn't have a valid answer:
http://lunar-linux.org/pipermail/xfce4- … 12099.html
I'm using a pretty standard generated config, with
Option "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, AUTO"
I can't seem to find out if xorg config or gnome config is responsible.
I'm sure the solution must be trivial as nobody else seem to have this annoying behaviour

I have the same problem when I use the merged mode with my Matrox G550. I don't think you can solve this one: the X11 system is fooled in having a large desktop spread over 2 displays, without noticing there are two screens. That's where xinerama jumps in: it's an extension so apps know on which screen they are and what size that screen has. Without Xinerama, there is no option to control placement or stretching. Maybe the drivers themselves solve something internal, but I wouldn't count on it.

[Solved] How to add launchers to Desktop of gnome 3 ?

Hi,
I have gnome 3 installed. I have enabled adding files in desktop. Now my desktop shows home icon and trash. Now i want to add some existing application launcher to desktop. For example i have chromium browser installed and i have added it to favorites. I want to add launcher to desktop as a icon, so that i can click on chrome icon in desktop and use chromium browser. I searched on the google a lot but no luck
Last edited by ashwin_cse (2013-07-15 14:55:51)

It is now solved. I installed extensions from here . These extensions make available gnome 2 features in gnome 3 by using native gnome 3 code and not by making to fall back to gnome 2. But these extensions doesn't have one feature i am looking for , which is launchers. For that only i found was to install gnome-panel. Which is a gnome2 thing. Unfortunately i couldn't find any gnome 3 things that would do this. So i installed gnome-panel which contains gnome-desktop-item-edit file. Then i ran the following to create a launcher :
gnome-desktop-item-edit --create-new ~/Desktop
But the problem is that the site says it might break with gnome 3 updates.

[SOLVED] Contents of home folder on desktop in Gnome Shell

A few days ago, after installing some updates (I believe gnome-themes-standard was amongst them) and restarting, I found that the contents of my home folder were displayed as icons on my desktop, and when I go into Activities mode, the background is black. Searching around hasn't turned up any results... any ideas?
In case there's any potential graphics related issues wrt the blank background, the system is a laptop with a HD3000 GPU in a Core i7 CPU.
Last edited by ch_123 (2013-03-04 10:00:07)

You can probably remove the desktop icons by opening dconf-editor and going to org.gnome.desktop.background. Once there, untick show-desktop-icons and restart the Shell.
I don't know about your other issue though, have you tried with another theme?
EDIT: The issues are related; my background also just went black. Just untick the above option, re-set your wallpaper and finally restart the Shell; that did it for me.
