Does Installing Awesome WM also Install the X Window System?

I am trying to use Awesome WM as my window manager and installed it and it's dependencies using "pacman -S awesome". Does installing Awesome WM install the X window system as a dependency? I have not installed X separately and have been unable to start Awesome using startx after writing an .xinitrc file with "exec awesome" in it.
Thanks.

The quick answer to your question is no. The package mainainers assume that you've followed the instructions and installed xorg-server etc. before you start installing stuff that runs on it. The good news is that installing xorg-server etc. will install almost everything you need for awesome.
Edit for clarification: no one but you knows what X server you might be using. You'll probably use xorg-server, but there are other servers than that: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=87281
Presumably awesome will work with them too.

Any Mozilla product I install crashes at startup. The first window I see when I open a Mozilla product is the crash reporter. I have tried every possible solution but cannot open anything. It started with firefox. Can anyone please help?

Hi there, as the question says, I cannot open any Mozilla product. I have tried to install firefox 3.6, older versions of Firefox, Firefox 4.0, Sea Monkey, Thunder Bird and Sun Bird. I have the same problem everytime. I open any of these programs and the first and the only window that appears is the crash reporter. I've tried opening it in Safe Mode and the same occurs. I have tried entirely uninstalling the products incuding the registry keys but no help. I shall post the detailed error reports, if they help solving this issue. Can you kindly look into this and find a solution as I use all of these Mozilla products and my life has been a hell since they've ben down.

Same problem over here as well, FF 7 is ok but FF8 / FF9 and Thunderbird 8 / 9 crash on startup.
They both work if I start them in safe mode with everything enabled.

You can probably get a better response by posting on the windows Compatibility forum here:

Can I install Linux and then use the original Windows 8 OEM product key for a virtual machine on the same computer?

I have ordered a new laptop and expect to receive it in 2-3 weeks. The laptop comes with an OEM version of Windows 8 installed. I wish
to install Linux as the host operating system and create a virtual machine running Windows 8. Can I legally use the product key from the OEM installation to activate a virtual machine that will only be used on the laptop that had the original OEM installation?
If so, what is the procedure to activate the copy installed on the virtual machine?
This question has been addressed for Windows 7, but my searches did not reveal this question posed for Windows 8.

Technically, no. The OEM is licensed only for the physical hardware on the system. It isn't licensed for virtual hardware.
You may find you're unable to activate your OEM license in the VM. A lot of OEM Windows look for specific hardware to verify they're being installed on the correct hardware.
Although here: http://www.microsoft.com/oem/en/Pages/support-faq.aspx#fbid=Zh0SiBdas5I
Q. Can I install OEM on a virtual machine (VMware)?
A. You may install OEM in a virtual environment as long as you have a separate license for each instance of the software. It is fine to use the OEM version as long as it is properly licensed. To be clear, a separate version of software must be installed
for both the “standard” and “virtual” installations.
You still may not be able to activate if there is a hardware block.
The best place to ask this is to Microsoft licensing, any response you get here, including mine, won't hold up since it's not an official answer.

5800 does a factory reset also reset the sim lock

I have a 5800, which has been unlocked by the provider (Tmobile) so I can use an 02 sim.
The phone currently has the expired certificate problem, and as suggested in the forums a factory reset may fix this. I know that most of the phones setting will also be reset...
But will a factory reset also reset the sim lock, and lock the phone back to Tmobile ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No. It will remain unlocked.

Does JRE 1.3.1_02 demand the latest Windows?

Greetings everybody,
Is the functioning of JRE 1.3.1_02 dependent on the version of Windows on which it is installed?
I wrote a Java program containing a main method and which uses certain helper classes. Also an applet program was written. I packed the main class file, the applet and the helper classes into a jar and uploaded the jar onto a Mandrake 7.2 system. I set up the web-server Apache on the same Mandrake system, and placed a HTML file to open the applet. This applet enables a client browser to interact with the main java program running in the Mandrake system. On the command prompt of Mandrake I typed java -jar <jar filename> <main-class file> [enter]
From Internet Explorer installed on a Windows 2000 machine I called the HTML file. The applet opened and tried to locate the background main Java program, which it did and my whole setup ran successfully.
I then tried opening the same applet from Windows NT and Windows 98 systems. But the applet failed to open. In the Java console of IE I am getting a ClassNotFoundException <applet-class-name>
I agree I did not set the Mandrake system classpath and the Apache web-server classpath, but how is it that Win2k is able to detect the jar file in which the applet is located whereas NT and 98 do not? This has definitely something to do with the functioning of the JRE (the Win2K, NT and 98 all have JRE 1.3.1_02 installed)
Maybe there is some angle which I am missing, but I am describing as much as I can understand. Any inputs would be appreciated.
R.Srivatsan

Possibly the applet did not open on NT or 98 because it was unable to establish socket connections to your main Java program.
Maybe this has something todo with the way Socket connections are listened for. There is a difference in how Win2k listens and how NT and 98 listen.
Check out this link:
http://search.communities.microsoft.com/newsgroups/previewFrame.asp?ICP=msdn&sLCID=US&sgroupURL=microsoft.public.win32.programmer.networks&sMessageID=%253COZB4xO26BHA.2320@tkmsftngp04%253E
and also check the responses posted in the same newsgroup for this question.
In case it turns out that this is a socket connection problem, you need to install the latest WinSock API on your NT from the Microsoft site. This is available in the latest service pack (Service Pack 6 I think).
I am however not sure about the 98 part. 98 is still a robust OS with regard to JRE. Maybe you need to register certain ocx or dlls.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a problem with the code window not showing code?

I am having a problem with this update where the code window is blank and where I cannot add anything/ The text does appears in the design or live window.
I just use DW to format text that will go into Edge Animate.

Hi,
Are you getting this issue on all the files?
Please share any screenshot.

Why does "enclosing folder" not work from the SEARCH window?

I do a command+F search.
Command+2 to view as list rather than groups
and then sort by date modified.
When I find the file/folder I want I'd really like to do a command+[up arrow] which in the GO menu is a valid command.
Why does this work in finder windows but not in the search window?
I'm not using spotlight, just the good old command+F
This used to work in Sherlock 1 [using command+E] and when you opened the enclosing window, the file was already hi-lighted, faster to locate and saved mousing.

You'll note that in the Go menu that command is grayed out meaning it's not active in the search results display.
If you upgrad to Leopard then you can go to the Finder's View menu and select "Show Path Bar." The full path to any selected item in the Finder's window will be displayed in a path bar in the lower portion of the window. You can then double-click on any displayed folder to open a window on that folder.

If I already have the Tor browser installed, can I also install firefox and run it independent of Tor sometimes?

I like the fact that Tor is anonymous, but I don't always need the anonymity when I surf the net. Just want to know if I install FF as well if they will open and run independent of each other. Kind of like running Chrome and IE at the same time.

As they are separate programs, there should be no problem.
But watch for any issues. There are many times I run Firefox
and another browser at the same time.

Does this wiiu deluxe come with the latest 1gb system update pre installed?

I ask because internet is slow and the zombiu bundle has 1gb system update pre intsalled....

It probably depends on how long the Wii U you're buying has been sitting at the store.

Why does erasing hyper events also erase the MIDI info in score?

That just about says it, if I erase automation in the Hyper editor the score and piano roll go blank, is this the normal behavior? I don't even know how the automation there got written-I never meant to do any automation, does it have to do with track record enable buttons? But not all of those were turned on in this Piano and strings piece. And is it normal that in 9.1.5 the interpretation box gets checked when the iMac is turned off, that box seems always to be turning its; self on, not pretty.

Command-click all of the files you want to delete and don't actually move them to the Trash until you've gone through the entire folder.
