Disable my MB display while using an extenal LCD?

Hi, when i have a dual display on my macbook, and i close the display on the macbook, the computer goes to sleep, autimatically,
yeah, that's normal.
now, if i click on the BT mighty mouse, the computer wakes up, and since the internal display is closed, my MB goes into a single display mode on the external display.
so i am wondering if its possible to toggle that single external display without going to sleep, because i beleave it wont be a good thing for my mb.?
thanks!!

you can open the lid
after the external screen comes on and the internal
screen will stay off.
exactly, that's the final result i want have, use only my lcd while the internal display is off(lid stays open). but i wish i could do that without going to sleep and then wake it up.
i thought if i put MB to sleep then wake it to quickly, it will eventually break the HD.

How to disable CD-DRIVE checking, while using a Dolphin file manager

Hello.
I would like ask for a help. I have one problem that's quite annoying. It is related to checking cd-drive when using a dolphin file menager. It always cheecks it when Dolphin is launched from K or launcher on taskbar for the first time, again it happens when i close it and open again.
Is there a way to disable checking of cd-drive in Dolphin? This behaviour occurs on KDE with all linux system that i checked: Slackware, Arch, Kubuntu. Look at this:
Disabling CD-DRIVE checking, while using a file manager
I would like to disable it in order to speed up opening Dolphin, launching it.

Udisks2 is what dolphin uses to handle external drives of all kinds (USB, optical, etc). Udisks is an automounting tool that allows normal users to mount disks. The permission handling before was handled with consolekit and has now been replaced by systemd-logind (which is much better anyway). So what I am suggesting is that it might be that dolphin is using udisks2 as the tool that polls for the existence of a disc in your optical drive.
Unfortunately, it is a bit more confusing than that because udisks2 is the replacement for the original udisks. It is totally different and not compatible. So I remember seeing a way to turn off optical drive polling, but I cannot remember if it was udisks or udisks2. But it was done with a udev rule.
So I think if you tried to google for "udisks optical (or cd or dvd) polling" or something like that, you might be able to figure out how this is done.
Edit: unfortunately, I do not use dolphin or udisks2. But I do have the original udisks installed.
Edit2: It seems that the method I remembered is for the original udisks.

Full text not getting displayed while using RSRT

Hi,
I am facing issue while downloading data using RSRT in BI system.
When I go to RSRT and execute a report the output doesn't display full text for a characteristic. i.e. the characteristic has a size of 60 characters, but only 30 chars ( approx) are being displayed as report output in RSRT.
COuld anyone here please help me in getting the full text using RSRT transaction?
I am not using Bex here for the reason that the output has more than 1.8 lac records and hence I get an error while using Bex
WHen I try to execute this report using Bex for a small selection I could see full text there.
And there is no text master data maintained for this characteristic.
Thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi,
As you said you have 1.8 Lac records, There is no point in increasing the size to maximum number possible i.e 65K .
You have following three options to satisfy your requirement.:
1.    Usage of web reporting for export of more than 65k rows. According the note: 1127156 - Safety belt: Result set is too large, in BW version 7.x it I possible to set parameters that would allow such a massive export of data.
2.    Functionality of OpenHubs. Data can be placed directly into the files (e.g. in CSV format) on application server. Be careful here OpenHubs are specially licensed and by using it there are additional fees.
3.    Coding of custom ABAP report which runs BW query and gets all its output and saves it in the flat files.
Please let me know if this info is helpful.

KM Doc Iviews do not display while using the FQDN

Hi All,
We have recently migrated the data from EP 6.0 server to EP 7.0 server. We have External Facing Portal sites in Arabic, English and French. When I use the FQDN to access the arabic sites it fails to display the KM doc Iviews.
This works fine in English and French. Also this works fine in EP 6.0 server. While I try to access the site using just the server name (without the FQDN) it works fine as well.
The site fails only in one condition i.e using FQDN of the server while accessing the arabic websites.
What could be the reason for this??? Please help.
Regards,
Noufal

The issue is resolved. The page was having a fixed height and the iviews within them had the height set to automatic. I just changed the height type to fixed and this has solved the issue.
No idea if this is how it is supposed to work... and am puzzled how it was working when the server name was given without the FQDN...
Anyways 10 points to me...

Noufal

Junk characters display while using multipart with html content in Javamail

Hi All,
I have used Java mail API to send mail with attachment. To enable to attachment in mail and to do content formatting i have used multipart and html content type together.
My web application runs on apache tomcat 5.5 in MAC server. Java version is 1.5.
The Function which i have used for sending mail with attachment is as follows:
public void sendmailAttached(String to,String from,String host,boolean debug,String mailContent,String mailSubject,String cc,String attachFiles)
 String mailarray[]=to.split(";");
 Properties props = new Properties();
 //props.put("mail.smtp.port","425");
 props.setProperty("mail.smtp.host", host);
 if (debug) props.setProperty("mail.debug", ""+debug);
 Session session = Session.getInstance(props, null);
 session.setDebug(debug);
 try {
 Message msg = new MimeMessage(session);
 msg.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from));
 javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[] toAddress=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress[mailarray.length];
 for (int i=0;i<mailarray.length ;i++ )
 toAddress=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(mailarray[i]);
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, toAddress);
 msg.setSubject(mailSubject);

 CCAddress[i]=new javax.mail.internet.InternetAddress(mailarray1[i]);
 msg.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.CC,CCAddress);
 }catch(Exception ss)
 System.out.println("CC mail exception is ====>"+ ss.getMessage());
 msg.setSentDate(new java.util.Date());
 Multipart multipart = new MimeMultipart("related");
 BodyPart messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 messageBodyPart.setContent(mailContent, "text/html");
 multipart.addBodyPart(messageBodyPart);
 String fileName = attachFiles.substring(attachFiles.lastIndexOf("/")+1,attachFiles.length());
 if(!fileName.equals(""))
 messageBodyPart = new MimeBodyPart();
 DataSource source = new FileDataSource(attachFiles);
 messageBodyPart.setDataHandler(new DataHandler(source));
 messageBodyPart.setFileName(fileName);

 Transport.send( msg );
 catch(MessagingException mex)
 Exception ex = mex;
 if (ex instanceof SendFailedException)
 SendFailedException sfex = (SendFailedException)ex;
Address[] invalid = sfex.getInvalidAddresses();

msg.setContent(multipart);
Transport.send( msg );
catch(Exception e)
 System.out.println("Mail Not Send");
 else
 System.out.println("Mail Server Not Connectd ");
This code is working properly and i am able to send mail with attachment and html formatted content without any problem. But console of server is filled up with too much junk characters because of which the catalina.out file of tomcat server is becoming fully filled.
Sample cosnole display with junk characters are as follows:

Like this display of junk characters are filling up multiple pages of console file.
Can any one suggest me how to overcome this problem?
Many thanks in advance.

There is no "sendmail" method in the JavaMail API.
The debug flag is set using the Session.setDebug method, or by setting the Session property "mail.debug".
If you're using someone else's helper classes with JavaMail, they may provide another way to set it.

How can i remove the measurement info bubble from displaying while using patch tool?

When removing unwanted parts of an image or repairing older images, the tool most used by me is the patch tool. When I select a patch and move a bubble with measurements of how far I've moved this patch pops up and ALWAYS seems to be in the way. Some areas to repair are extremely magified and can make or break an image looking natural or not. The darn measurement bubble seems to place itself in the worst possible location for exact placement of small elements. How can I turn this info bubble from popping up as I'm not why it's even there?

You can turn it off under Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>Interface by setting Show Transformation Values to Never

Display - while using email / message

my I phone 4 g shows horizontally when i view mail or message by default , where as other phones show the way we hold the phone ?

Yes it is possible to implement this .
on SAVE you can check for the input field if any value entered on not .
or another way would be .in data_changed methood you set a flag which indicates that data_changed was called .
check the same flag when 'ON save '
then you give the message there ;that you can add in protocol.

23" Cinema Display: Can't disable MacBook display to use only the cinema?

Hi,
I just bought a 23" cinema display with the intention of using it exclusively while I use a wireless keyboard and just keep my MacBook closed. I notice that when I set the display preferences to "mirror," the quality of the cinema display reduces greatly, since it's only able to be set at the maximum display resolution allowed for the MacBook when mirroring. This seems to defeat the purpose of having the cinema display. So, I guess I have several questions:
1. Can I close the MacBook without it going to sleep?
2. Can I make the cinema display the primary display (with application menus, etc.)?
3. Can I disable the MaBook display and use only the cinema display?
Thanks,
Stew

1. Can I close the MacBook without it going to sleep?
No, but if the power adapter is connected, you can wake it with the external keyboard or mouse (make sure wake-up is enabled in the Bluetooth system preference), and it will continue to run with the lid closed.
2. Can I make the cinema display the primary display (with application menus, etc.)?
Yes. In the "Arrangement" pane of "Displays" system preference, turn off mirroring and drag the picture of the menu bar to the picture f the external display.
3. Can I disable the MaBook display and use only the cinema display?
Yes. Close the lid.

Updation error while using a foreign data source

Hi All,
I am trying to connect to SQL server 2000, from my BC4J driven swing application. i am using Oracle containers for Java (Development Suite)
Going by the steps detailed in
"SQL Server Walkthrough" on OTN, i have tested with two drivers:
1) Microsoft SQL Server 2000 JDBC driver
2) DataDirect JDBC driver.
In both the cases, the resulting application runs well for inserts and deletes, but FAILS WHILE UPDATION.
The following error is displayed while using the datadirect for updates.
(oracle.jbo.DMLException) JBO-26041: Failed to post data to database during "Update": SQL Statement " UPDATE dbo.BR_CATEGORY BrCategory SET CATEGORY_NAME=? WHERE CATEGORY_CODE=?".
----- LEVEL 1: DETAIL 0 -----
(java.sql.SQLException) [DataDirect][SQLServer JDBC Driver][SQLServer]Line 1: Incorrect syntax near 'BrCategory'.
A similar errror is displayed for the Microsoft JDBC driver as well.
What could be the cause?
Thanks,
Sumit

Thanks Deepak,
I am not using Northwind and Pubs sample databases. So that rules out the change in ownership from dbo to our SQL login account.
I am quoting the last paragraph in the document:
"To be able to browse in the tester, make sure you add a driver class to the configuration and choose this local configuration in the tester. However you will not be able to update without errors and this is a known issue. For step-by-step instructions, see the SQL Server Walkthrough topic."
What bothers me is this line:
"However you will not be able to update without errors and this is a known issue"
Are we talking about updation in general, or just updation through BC4J tester. I am using a separate Swing-Jclient application to access the application module.
Thanks in advance,
Sumit Kumar Pal

Screen flickers while using external display

while using my macbook pro with an external display (my sony LCD TV). the external screen (TV) flickers. it goes black for about a second then comes on. it will happen about 20 minutes into watching TV and happens more often the longer i watch. for example i just finished watching a 40 minute video podcast it happened at the halfway point then more often - about 10 minutes later then 5 minutes later - then 2 minutes... the final minutes of the show it happened about 3 times before the end.
any help? any ideas? i suspect (though i can't prove) it has to do with the setting for the external display.
thanks

Can you run memory diagnostics ? Download a pre-compiled bootable iso from http://www.memtest.org/ down the page and make a bootable CD. Boot to this CD and run RAM diagnostic for a couple of hours, maybe overnight, and see if your laptop has RAM errors.
If you have no RAM defect after the long test above, then uninstall all ATI/AMD gfx card drivers in Programs and Feature in Control Panel. Now go to Device Manager and disable your gfx card, putting a checkmark in the box Uninstall drivers for this hardware. ( Please note this operation will not harm your computer. Windows will redetect your gfx card after restart. )
Restart as required by Windows 7.
You may have to disable and then enable the gfx card in Device Manager several times until you are left with VGA drivers only. ( Computer gurus suggest using a Driver Sweeper/Driver Cleaner program. But I do the driver cleaning chore myself. You may go to C:\Windows\System32\DRIVERS folder and manually delete Atikmpag.sys, Atikmdag.sys drivers. )
Now you can re-install the ATI/AMD drivers that you have downloaded from hp suppport.
Hope this helps.

HT5891 Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the "Displays have separate spaces" mode?

Is there a way to remove the menu bar from a secondary display while still using the very useful "Displays have separate spaces" mode?
The reason I ask is that most full-screen video playback in most applications, from iTunes to Flash/Silverlight plugins do not take up the full screen, instead leaving space for the menu bar (in the case of iTunes) or leaving the menu bar present on top of the video (for fullscreen Flash/Silverlight videos).
This is annoying for several reasons ranging from the obvious distraction factor to the fact that 1080p video is not played back at native resolution on a 1080p display.
If there is no way to disable this functionality while maintaining separate spaces, I would (humbly) suggest that a future update to Mavericks allow non-Lion-style* full-screen apps to take over the entire display.
*Lion-style full-screen apps are those that animate into a full-screen mode when the opposing-arrows full-screen button in the upper-right-hand corner of the window is pressed.

No. Turning that off reverts to the old display setup. You have one desktop spanned across all displays. The menu bar appears on the primary display only.

Using a Second Display while MBP display is in Fullscreen use

I recently began using a second display consistently (something I only did sparingly in the past), and I was hoping to find out how to utilize my second display while running a fullscreen application on the MBP display (when in fullscreen, the second display is taken into fullscreen, but only with a solid black), and continue using everything else normally if situated on the second display.

Did you have a specific app or application in mind?

I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

How do I get an XY Chart to display properly while using embedded loop

s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.I have also stored my data in a daily text file that is tab delimited. The text files consists of a row of text column headers, a blank row and then rows of data. The data rows are mixed data types. The first column is a date/time such as Mar 1, 2002 12:01 pm. The remaining columns are numeric data. I can't seem to get my data to plot properly in an XY chart from memory and am having problems parsing the data with mixed data types in the data r
ows. The format I am using works great for viewing the history files in Excel.
When I plot the data, I either get a single point or a a series of points for a single reading of all channels or I get a line connecting all data for that single scan reading. What am I doing wrong? At this point, I don't care if I read the data from the file to plot it or if I can just get Labview to plot correctly as the data is gathered without going to the history file.
As noted in the summary question, I have embedded loops in my applicaiton. I have a while-loop that determines the scan rate and keeps the program running until it is turned off. Inside of that, I have a for-loop (in a subVI) which scans all my data channels.
Thanks for your help.

s to periodically read multiple channels of similar data? (multi-Y versus specified time) The plot just becomes a point or a single plot of all values taken at one scanning of all channels. I want multiple plots over time updated at the time of scanning.XY plots expect a cluster containing two 1D arrays for the X and Y
coordinates of the individual points. If you want multiple plots you can
supply an array of these clusters but you have to resupply the "x" array
for each of them.
Hope that helps,
Rudolf
