Devilspie no longer working? [solved]

Did configuration change again? Because my xmms script is no longer working for devilspie(then again no scipts are working). Heres my xmms script:
1 (if (is (application_name) "XMMS")
2 (begin
3 (skip_pager)
4 (skip_tasklist)
5 (below)
6 (pin)
7 )
8 )
This simple script used to work, I supposed I did notice this once I switched to pypanel, but I believe the script worked the first couple of times, it's supposed to hide xmms from the pager / tasklist but it isn't doing so.

Other than switching from fbpane to pypanel, no. Altleaste not that I know of
edit
Apparently it's just a pypanel related problem. Guess I'll have to change panels once again ;(
edit
Well, I guess pypanel has it's own option to hide windows fromt he tastklist, so I just did that instead. Problem solved.

Pixma scanner no longer working [Solved]

This worked flawlessly about a month ago- so there are no sane packages to downgrade in hopes of solving this problem. Sane detects the scanner just fine (cups printing still works with this multifunction and it scans fine in Windows- so not a hardware issue).
Anyway, found some people with similar problems who use Ubuntu, with no solutions yet, so I figured I'd see if any Archers also had this problem with other Canon Pixma multifunctions.
[root@desktop jjohnson]# scanimage -L && scanimage -T
device `pixma:MX860_192.168.1.5' is a CANON Canon PIXMA MX860 multi-function peripheral
scanimage: scanning image of size 640x1050 pixels at 24 bits/pixel
scanimage: acquiring RGB frame, 8 bits/sample
scanimage: reading one scanline, 1920 bytes... FAIL Error: Operation was cancelled
[root@desktop jjohnson]#
Scanner is found just fine, however it will fail to scan anything (by feeder or flatbed). xsane gives an operation canceled error as well. This problem also occurs on my laptop.
Anyone else having issues with Pixma based scanners? Any ideas for further troubleshooting sane?
Thanks for any help or commentary

Stuff that needs sudo is in my sudoers as "username hostname NOPASSWD: item1,item2,etc,etc". Nothing too exciting. Seems like if there was suddenly something wrong with my autostart file at least some of the stuff would run either way though cause of "&". Pretty puzzling this issue is.

[SOLVED] Default audio device no longer works after reboot

After today's reboot, the audio device no longer works. E.g., VLC says:
Audio output failed:
The audio device "default" could not be used:
No such file or directory.
This is the console log:

[0x7fac41055118] main decoder error: failed to create audio output
The strange thing is that the sound card does in fact work; e.g. the sound test for "HDA Intel PCH", the first entry in my KDE Audio Settings, works. But the entry "default" does not and I suppose that is also the device that VLC is complaining about.
I've tried blacklisting the HDMI driver and switched to the other audio output modules in VLC. I've also checked I'm still member of the "audio" group.
Edit:
P.S. Solved this myself. I had a USB-to-MIDI adapter cable plugged in during boot, which seems to have been causing these problems. I suppose systemd thought it was a USB sound card? I was wondering why dmesg said something about USB sound when the computer doesn't have any USB sound devices. Hardware detection epic fail. Although I guess the cable counts as a MIDI device at least, so in a way it's correct.
So it looks like I'll always have to unplug the MIDI cable before rebooting.

I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
Please help.

Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

[SOLVED] USB 3G no longer works after upgrade to GNOME 3.8

I did the 'big' update today, including upgrading to GNOME 3.8. Unfortunately, NetworkManager no longer picks up my 3G USB modem (which used to work fine before the update). Any pointers as to how I could debug this would be greatly appreciated.
wvdial has never really worked for me, but gnome networkmanager used to pick up my device and the connection, and now simply acts as if it's no longer present. Attempting to follow the instructions on the wiki to re-setup my USB stick (the instructions I followed in the first place) no longer works. Did today's update cause the same problem for anybody else?
**Update: After updating today to modemmanager 0.7.990-4 and running
sudo systemctl enable ModemManager
sudo systemctl start ModemManager
I have full connectivity again with the built-in DW5550 mobile broadband card in my Dell Precision M6600 (including showing signal strength in the GNOME 3.8 top bar, etc). Thanks all for the help, and (most importantly) to whoever fixed up modemmanager!

wvdial might also be a workaround, if one does not like to downgrade. In my case, I had to unset my PIN on the SIM card first. One can do that using a mobile phone, for example.
Then
# pacman -S wvdial
in /etc/wvdial.conf, I put
[Dialer Defaults]
Init2 = ATQ0 V1 E1 S0=0 &C1 &D2 +FCLASS=0
Modem Type = Analog Modem
ISDN = 0
Stupid Mode = 1
Dial Attempts = 3
Init1 = ATZ
[Dialer huawei]
Modem = /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ZTE_Incorporated_1_1_Surf-stick_MF19001MOD010000-if02-port0
Baud = 115200
[Dialer voda]
Init3 = AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","web.vodafone.de"
[Dialer dial]
Phone=*99**1#
Username = umts
Password = umts
You can find out your modem name by looking it up with
ls /dev/serial/by-id/
In my case there were names containing the strings if00, if01 and if02, and if02 turned out to be the correct one. This depends on hardware.
Also, in the "Init 3" line, you may have to replace "web.vodafone.de" according to your provider. The section "dial" seems to be quite universal from what I read on the web, so you may not have to change that.
then
# wvdial huawei voda dial
and hope for the best.
Disclaimer: I do not have a comprehensive understanding of what I did here, but it worked in my case and it might work for you, too.
I noticed that the Defaults section makes a difference, because the one I just edited in above avoids some delay in dialing.

[SOLVED] Postgis no longer working after upgrade of postgresql

Dear all,
after yesterdays upgrade of postgresql-server and libs to 9.0.1 the postgis package does no longer work. When trying to import postgis.sql (version 1.5) it always complains about wrong libraries version:
psql:/usr/share/postgresql/contrib/postgis-1.5/postgis.sql:59: FEHLER: inkompatible Bibliothek »/usr/lib/postgresql/postgis-1.5.so«: Version stimmt nicht überein
I have double checked on postgresql and postgis documents that the versions should be compatible:
postgresql 9.0.1-2
postgresql-libs 9.0.1-2
postgis 1.5.1-1
For all databases dump and restore was fine, except for my gis databases. So upgrade from 8.4.4 to 9.0.1 worked in general.
Any ideas?
Last edited by Wauzenplauz (2010-10-31 14:46:20)

"Unfortunately" I did not have enough time to give it a try and rebuild the package.
So today I found that there is already a new version of postgis available which works perfectly fine!

[SOLVED]Laptop Internal SD card reader no longer working

Two weeks ago I purchased a Raspberry Pi and set up my own SD card with Arch Linux ARM using the directions at http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6/raspberry-pi with the internal SD card reader on my laptop and had no issues. Today I decided to load up a XBMC distro to a new SD card, but my internal card reader doesn't seem to autodetect or mount my new card. I tried inserting my other card with Arch ARM that I know is a good card, but it no longer works with that card either. Here are all my logs that I could think of to post for any advice:

It seems I have all the necessary information, but I am not sure where to go from here. It's obvious my laptop is detecting the card being inserted and removed, but the card reader is never listed in /dev so I can't mount it. It's listed under lspci but not under lsusb. I'm assuming that it was two weeks ago and that's why it worked, but I'm not sure how to get lsusb to detect it so it will work again. Thanks for any help you guys have.

[Solved] Suspend to RAM no longer works

Suspend to RAM when closing my laptop lid worked out the box for me since I put Arch on my Dell XPS 14. After doing a pacman -Su yesterday (where I noticed that the kernel was updated, but it might be something else) it no longer works. Running 'systemctl suspend' in the terminal does work. Do I have to update a config?
Last edited by skip (2014-04-01 19:48:23)

For anyone else that finds this, systemd 212 doesn't suspend with lid closed with or without external monitor for those using the Nvidia proprietary drivers. Nvidia doesn't provide the necessary information for systemd to know whether or not an external monitor is connected, and thus it plays it safe and doesn't suspend. This is explained nicely at the Freedesktop bug linked above, but I wanted to pass it along here for those that won't follow the link.
Sounds like they're leaning toward reversing the preference (dock/external display users will need to opt out of suspending with lid close) in future versions since non-dock/monitor users >> dock/monitor users.

[solved] KDE 4.11 Terminal does no longer work

After updating to KDE 4.11 (among other packages) the terminal/console does no longer work. It's still loading, but basically I can only see a blank and that's it.
I already moved the .kde4 folter because that has lead to problems in the past when updating to new version of KDE 4 but that didn't do it.
Any ideas appreciated, thanks!

PCS no longer working with contacts and 6086

I have applied the latest release of PC Suite 6.84.10.3.
Previously the installed level was 6.83.14.1
The send/read/write message still doesn't work but hangs the Windows Explorer for a while (this hang didn't occur previously)
But now, the contact facility no longer works. It is no longer possible to edit a contact, to store it locally or to send it to the phone even a message says everything is OK
(translate it from french: The contact has been well recorded into the phone)
Folder browsing still works correctly, either the phone folder or the memory card folder
Need a fix or a way to install the previous version, at least for the contacts...
This is a really negative feedback!

I guess what I learned is that sometimes the best solution is to do nothing and wait for the problem to solve itself! Funny, this has never worked for me before.
WOT is now working for me but often for only the first few rows of images. That's cool that it is also working with bing images.
Boudica, thanks for understanding. I am new contributor/ question-asker here on mozilla and may not understand how things are done. I was just frustrated, getting an email saying that my question was answered, logging in to find that it wasn't.
Now we have the functionality that we wanted, right?

You can never, never migrate an installed copy of PSE. It's just too complex and you can't get to all the bits and bobs.
First you will have to download and run this:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
which will not seem to do anything, but is necessary to break the links within PSE so that you can pitch the bits manually. Then you will have to go around, not only to applications, but also to your username>library>preferences and most importantly to the library at the top level of your hard drive>application support>adobe, and remove everything you can find. Spotlight will not help with this kind of search, so don't try that.
Then you can install PSE from scratch.

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi.

Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps.
