Dropbox appindicator is not working in Gnome shell

Hello,
I have installed "dropbox" package from AUR and also "gnome-shell-extension-appindicator-git" (and it's dependencies which are libindicator and libappindicator and some other packages) from AUR too.
My appindicators are now working except for Dropbox and Skype. (but Skype is not my problem here)
The only relevant information that I have found about my issue is the link below but that does not seem to help too.
https://github.com/rgcjonas/gnome-shell … /issues/22
My problem is that Dropbox is still showing it's systray icon instead of it's appindicator.
Anyone has faced the same problem or would you have any ideas? I would appreciate your help.

I want my screen to turn off automatically when system is not in use, so I've enabled the automatic screen blanking from gnome settings.
That command turns my monitor off fine, but doesn't happen automatically when system is idle like it does in other WMs

Apparently there's been an issue where xserver's dpms settings get in gnome's way, and disabling dpms with xset has helped some people in arch forums and others. Although if I'm not mistaken that issue should be fixed already.

DPMS/Screen blanking not working in gnome-shell

The title pretty much sums it up. I've tried setting screen blanking in gnome-control-center->power, but it doesn't seem to work. However DPMS has worked in pretty much every other WM I've tried by default.
I've installed gnome-shell and gnome-control-center. Not using gdm.
I've tried 'xset -dpms' which apparently should've helped at least in earlier gnome releases, but it makes no difference on my system.
Any ideas what could be causing this?

Caps/Num lock LED indicators not working in gnome

I have a qPad MK-85 mechanical keyboard, and I can't seem to get the LED status indicators for the lock keys to work.
The CAPS and NUM lock function still works, but I don't have any indication whether they'r'e on or not.
It only seems to be under gnome I have this problem, because they're working just fine in grub, windows, and tty2-6.
I have done a search and it seems a lot of other people with mechanical keyboards have the same problem, but no solutions.
So.. anyone here have any solutions?
Edit: tested in xfce, not working there either

No reply means no one can help I suppose.

Cron job is not working SCP automated shell script

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

spawn scp "[email protected]:/u04/dumps/test.dmp" /u10/app/
expect {
-re ".*es.*o.*" {
exp_send "yes\r"

exp_send "pwd\r"
interact
above is the automated script to download the file from remote server to local server.
I am trying to download around 2GB file. for that i am using the above automated script. But that script is not working cron service.
Cron is not executing that script to download the file from Remote server to Local Server.

Cron is not executing that script to download the file from Remote server to Local Server.That script only or any script ? Did you try with something else ?
I had a similar problem on a Linux machine, where cron jobs didn't start, and the only solution was to restart cron daemon whenever crontab files were updated.

Numbers 3.2 and Dropbox viewer does not work

Hi,
I upgraded to OS Maverick 9.2 and also to Numbers 3.2
I have quite a lot of numbers files in Dropbox
So far, I was was able to view them within Dropbox on my iPhone.
After using these files with Numbers 3.2 on my Mac, Dropbox is unable to view these files on iPhone 5 /iOS 7.
I purchased the iOS Applications Numbers 3.2 in the hope it would help but nothing work because there is no link between Dropbox & the numbers applications.
I bought this app and it will not be useful to me.
Numbers 3.2 also has important regression such as the category feature which I use extensively.
The result is that my files have because unusable outside my Mac, and on my Mac, I've lost the category feature leading to extra works and difficulties.
What a bad experience!
I'm very disappointed

Well thanks for the suggestion, but can you be more specific?
The seven words that immediately follow the part I quoted.
lolilolicon has spoilt the surprise somewhat.
Well I am sorry to be a newb about that. I suspected but I thought honestly I should list the files by name only, not including full path. Examples on the web are spotty, and the only other BBS post about this no one made the correction or insight. I thought I must be really confused because the examples mentioned only refer to file name, not included path (full or relative path name).
NoExtract = file ...
All files listed with a NoExtract directive will never be extracted from a package into the filesystem. This can be useful when you don’t want part of a package to be installed. For
example, if your httpd root uses an index.php, then you would not want the index.html file to be extracted from the apache package. These files refer to files in the
package archive, so do not include the leading slash (the RootDir) when specifying them. Shell-style glob patterns are allowed.
Thanks to all of you. I appreciate the rapid response time. I clearly was too tired and skimming over the important part, but rest assured I realize this was retarded of me to ask and I am kind of embarassed.

Power shell command not working in Power shell ISE

I was looking for guidance on a problem I was having and found a post from
Bigteddy on TechNet that had this command
Get-ADUser -Identity sam -Properties memberof | select -ExpandProperty memberof
I kept trying it many ways and it always fails in power shell ISE.
I get the below output
The term 'Get-ADUser' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of
the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is c
orrect and try again.
At line:1 char:11
+ Get-ADUser <<<<
-Identity rwhite -Properties memberof | select -ExpandProperty memberof
+ CategoryInfo
: ObjectNotFound: (Get-ADUser:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException
I put the same command in the power shell module window and it works perfectly
Any idea how I can make this work for striping purposes in power shell ise
ronald white

Import-Module ActiveDirectory
If that returns an error, chances are that you do not have the module on your computer. You can verify that by running
Get-Module -ListAvailable

[SOLVED] Hotkeys still not working in Gnome 3.6

Hey guys. So my hotkeys haven't worked since I first installed arch on this machine. At first I ignored it, but as I've been working from home more lately it's really starting to irk me. I read that it was a problem with the gnome-settings-daemon and that it would be fixed in gnome 3.6. Well here I am with gnome 3.6 and it still isn't working.
I found a package called gnome-settings-daemon-updates in the repos and gave it a try. Still no luck. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it but I've got an AMD 6850 card and I wasn't able to get X server working without keeping my xorg at 1.13. I don't know if that is what is holding me back from juicy hot key goodness but I really need it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!
EDIT: So apparently I'm dumber than I thought. A reboot fixed me right up.

You might try fcitx with mozc instead.

Spotlight not finding things in Dropbox folder, "reindexing" not working

I'm using 10.10.1 on a MacBook Air.
For the last several weeks (or more?), Spotlight has not returned results for documents in my Dropbox folder, which is where I keep my research notes. I tried following the "reindexing" directions, choosing the "privacy" tab in Spotlight preferences, adding Dropbox, and then deleting, but this made no difference. I can only locate specific notes now by opening and searching the individual files.
What should I do?

Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/.Spotlight-V100
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open with a subfolder selected. Move the subfolder to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there should be an indication that indexing is in progress.
You can't see the folder in the Trash because it's invisible. The next time you empty the Trash, it should be deleted.

Show config not working in ACS "Shell Command Auth set"

To allow an AAA user access to the "show config" command I have created them an account in ACS and assigned the relevant "Shell Auth Set" but it still does not permit them to use it?, I read that this may not be the command that the switch sends the ACS server. Anyone have any ideas (switch is configured with all AAA commands)

Hi,
I am expecting that rest of the shell command authorization configuration is good on the ACS and device. We need to add command show along with the argument in command authorization set. I have attached a sample configuration for reference.
Please verify the configuration of ACS and device before making any changes from keeping your self locked on the device.
ACS Shell Command Authorization Sets on IOS and ASA/PIX/FWSM Configuration Example:-

Dconf-editor not working in gnome 3.

I've spent the past 3 weeks trying to figure this out before asking anyone, but alas, I am at a loss.
I'm trying to simply change a few accels. Mainly the Ctrl-Delete to Delete, and to change a few shortcuts in rhythmbox. Most every resource tells me to do it either through gconf-editor or dconf-editor. From what I gathered, dconf-editor is what everything is changing to. However I don't have a /desktop/gnome/interface/... section in dconf-editor.
Example:
dconf-editor screenshot
Any help would be appreciated, I'm sure it's something simple.
Cheers,
Matt

Run dconf-editor, and open:
org -> gnome -> desktop -> interface
Enable "can-change-accels".

RDP not working with Gnome Remote Desktop

I set up my Windows computer to accept RDP access. I also installed rdesktop. However, when I connect to my IP address, nothing happens. Is anyone else able to use RDP successfully? If so, how?

Gcool wrote:- Can you rdp locally on the Windows box?
- Can you telnet from your Arch box to the Windows machine on port 3389 (or any other port you've configured rdp to listen on)?
I cannot rdp locally to the Windows box (I am not sure if this is what you mean.) It says connection refused.
Telnet also says connection refused.
The windows computer is running Windows 7 enterprise.

Default keys in window menu-Gnome Shell 3.14

Hi,
On any active window, hitting Alt+Space will show the window menu. This part is working on latest gnome Shell version too. But, in earlier versions, hitting 'c' after the window menu is shown by Alt+Space combination would close the window which is not working in Gnome Shell 3.14. Other default keys such as 'x' for maximize etc are not working either. Is this the default behaviour? If so, is there some seeting or some work around to get the old behaviour back?
Thanks,

window menu is managed by gnome-shell in 3.14, while previously i twas handled by gtk: http://worldofgnome.org/shell-is-now-ma … nus-sweet/
they probably missed this functionality during the transition.
you should open a bug for gnome about this
