Emacs color problem - SOLVED

I'm using emacs on the command line and it works well with Xfce's terminal, but in urxvt after changing the background to black and text to white the colors in emacs look really lame.
Screenshot: http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/7445 … roblem.png
Without changing the settings in xdefaults colors work well, but bright colors on a white background are really annoying. The colors also work well outside emacs. Any ideas about what to do?

Epson 2200 Color problem solved...I think

I have read the posts on the color problems with 10.6 and the EP 2200. I too had the same issues after installing 10.6 this evening. After much teeth grinding and some choice words I set about solving my printing problem.
The Gutenprint driver has the same problems GIMP had. It isn't really printer specific, as in all the options you once had. I would rather have no driver than have this lame piece of software automatically installed. Gutenprint will make the printer run but that's about all it will do.
The solution is pretty easy:
1. Open System Preferences. Click on Print and Fax
2. Select the 2200 (or any printer giving you fits) and click the to delete the printer. Close prefs.
3. Go to the Epson site and download the 10.4 driver, Epson 11832. Install.
4. Also download the 10.6 updater and install.
5. Open System Prefs>Print and Fax again.
6. Click the and select the printer model, in my case Epson 2200.
7. In the drop down window Select Epson SP 2200 not the Epson Stylus Photo 2200 - Gutenprint v5.2.3! The latter being a Jack of all Trades and Master of none.
8. All the print functions reappear as expected.
Do I believe the reports of Epson dumping on the Mac market? Not a chance. Mac has the majority (well over 50% and growing) of the graphic and creative arts market. Most professional photographers I know use the Mac platform and are very enthusiastic about it. Epson couldn't afford to turn their backs on the Mac platform.
With 10.6 I did loose all my custom icc profiles from PS but not PS Lightroom. I also lost the custom monitor profile. I will re-profile my paper/ink/scanner/monitor and consider it a light hit. I'm sure I don't know why this update was so rough on the drivers. I'm also sure that there will be other pains I have yet to discover.
Is 10.6 crap? Probably not. Will I install 10.7 when it arrives? You bet! At OSX worst it is better than Gate's best!!

This is all good info, but for me at least, the real issue is not whether you can get the driver/printer to function (most people seem to be able to get it working) but when you get it functioning under Snow Leopard are there color issues.
Although the printer may work fine for basic documents etc, it is for color-critical photo work that I need my 2200. Many other posts are reporting that although the driver is functioning, there are fairly severe color issues when trying to create high-quality photographic prints using the standard color-managed workflow. This would be rather crippling for photographers and other artists who rely on their 2200.
Maybe those posting here could comment on whether they have been using their 2200 for photographic purposes and whether or not they have seen color issues. I wonder if some people just aren't noticing a problem because they aren't doing color-managed photographic work.
I haven't installed Snow Leopard yet and I'm trying to determine if this is affecting a very small percentage of people or if everyone is having trouble getting proper color from their 2200 since Snow Leopard. So far I haven't seen a single post specifically stating that they they are using the 2200 for high quality photo printing and have had no color issues under Snow Leopard.

A color problem in Apple's publishing App

I was wondering if you could help me with this problem，I really need some help，and here it is：
There is a Color problem in Mac publishing applications like Pages and Keynote，including iBooks Author，which really confuse me a lot。
When you use a certain color space（sRGB IEC61966-2.1 in this case）to create some colors with Apps like Illustrator CS6，Indesign CS6 & Photoshop CS6 etc. ，they look totally fine。BUT when you use iBooks Author （V2.0）to create the very same color with the very same color space，colors still look fine in the color panel，and here comes the problem：they look totally lousy in the actual document！！In fact，they look much lighter and faded。（See Image 1&2）
Above：Image 1
Above：Image 2
And this is also terrible with photos you import。（See Image 3）
Above：Image 3
Please tell me what I can do to solve this problem。I know maybe this is some sort of “basic” and “general” knowledge，but I really need your help。And I can't thank you enough if you can provide some effective solutions。

As far as I can see, the colour pallet and how colours are seen in any app on YOUR machine will depend on the computers System Preferences>Displays>Colour - choose your preferred setting.
I suggest first that you ensure that your colour profile settings are the same ( as your computer) in whatever Adobe application or in fact any outside image processor you use.
Creating or using a colour profile in Adobe and having a different profile on your system - will tend to give different colour hues.
A point also to remember is whatever you set up and is transferred to your product... when seen on an iPad may well be totally different again due to peculiarities and contrast / brighness setting of the iPad user.

Pavilion gv laptop colors on monitor color problem

I'm having color problems on my laptop. While the colors on my screen aren't terrible,most of the color/textures appear washed out and muted in comparison to other laptops I own. I've tried adjusting the brightness and calibrating the colors but it didn't fix the problem. I'm not sure what the problem could be. Thank you for your help.

Hey @crawford810 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the colours on your notebook look muted.
Could you please tell me which notebook model you have and the installed operating system? For information on finding your product and model numbers click here: How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? To see which version of Windows you are using click here: Which Windows operating system am I running?
For an issue like this you will want to test an external monitor to see if the issue is coming from the display, the GPU, or from Windows.
You will want to make sure your GPU and BIOS are up to date. You can download the most recent drivers and BIOS at the HP - Drivers & Downloads website.
I look forward to your reply!

Mail & Adress Book: issues sending group mail - Problem solved

I started writing this discussion because I could not get something to work. As I wrote it, I made many tests to confirm what I was writing and also read several past discussions on the subject. I ended up solving my problem and decided to share my findings. Hope it is useful to other people.
EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH ALL RECIEPIENTS SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
SENDING FROM THE MAIL APPLICATION:
To start do the following: Mail/Preferences/Composing check «Show members of a group»
Then for a group name with two or more words OR wit a one word group name, start writing the group name in the «TO» header of an email wait until the « () » appears highlithed in a color as you slowly write the Address Book group name and then select the group name from the scroling list appearing below which comes from your Adress Book (whether it's open or not). If you choose in a selection list before the « () » appears as you type, you could end up with an empty list and the group email does not work. When the « () » does not yet appear but the group name does below, it most likely will not work but if you scroll down you may find a second one that will. The whole thing is wear but once you get the hang of it you make it work everytime.
SENDING FROM THE ADDRESS BOOK APPLICATION:
If you try to send the email to a group from the application ADRESS BOOK by pressing «ctrl» & right clicking the name of the group and select «Send an email to GROUP-NAME», it will work also. But the group name must not have a space before its name in the Address Book (one could decide to do this to have a group to appear at the top of a list of groups). The latter was my problem and sending from the address book application did not work.
EMAIL TO A GROUP WITH «UNDISCLOSED RECIPIENTS» SHOWING IN THE «TO» HEADER - My problem solved
First one has to uncheck the «Show members of a group» in Mail/Preferences/Composing
Second strat a new email and proceed as described above in «1.» in the second and third paragraph.
As suggested in one discussion, if you still can not get it to work try closing your Mail and Address Book applications and re-open them.
As suggeted in another discussion by Ernie Stamper on May 15 2009 in the «Can't send an email to a group»:
«In Mail Preferences/Composing, select to Show members of a group, and then compose a message (no need to send for this test) using the group address -- do the 9 addresses show in the message header? If so, then report the name of the provider of the SMTP you are using. It might be that they do not allow the Group in the To -- when working correctly, the recipient sees only Undesignated Recipients in the header.»

Photograph Color Problem

Hi! I have a color problem with pictures. I have two G4's running OSX 10.3.9 and the same version 6 of iPhoto. The same picture is in both computers and the color looks the same on both computer's monitors. When I print to my Photosmart printer connected directly to the printer the picture looks fine but when I print through the network to the printer from the other computer the color isn't right. Both computers have the same print software/drivers for the Photosmart printer. Any ideas on how to resolve the problem? Tom

Hi! I reinstalled the Printer software with the newest version and solved my problem. Tom

Lightroom 4 color problem

I imported tiff images into Lightroom 4 that were scanned by DigMyPics.com. The color of the images look good on the Windows 7 photo viewer. It looks horrible in Lightroom 4. My monitor is callibrated, the import develope setting is set to "none" , the box is unchecked "apply auto tone adjustments". I think that the windows viewer is showing the accurate color of the scan and LR is not. I don't think DigMyPics would send this awful color. What could the issue be?

Yes, that certainly looks like a problem with the Lightroom rendering. Skin tones and red in general is clearly off, while Windows Photo Viewer looks good.
I'm almost certain this is a problem with the monitor profile. As troubleshooting, try to set sRGB as monitor profile (or Adobe RGB if your monitor is wide gamut), and see if the difference persists. But try to recalibrate first.
What calibrator and what monitor?

How to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

how to problem solve adf issue in the mx340 model

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
p_where_clause := ' ';
if p_dep_2_param is not null then
if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
end if;
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
else
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;

WiFi connection problem solved

My intel iMac and MBA had no problem but iPods 3g and 5g did. I had an old Netgear router connected and sitting next to my Airport Express. On a hunch I diconnected the Netgear and created a guest network to replace the one on the Netgear. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Evidently our iPods and boarder's iPhone had problems sorting out the signals and finding the right addresses. Moving the AE to a higher and slightly more central position also helped.
Jim

Same here on a Vodafone PocketWiFi 2.
Tried NetworkManager, wicd, wifi-menu but all have the same issue.
I recently installed Aptosid on another machine and it has the same problem... It also has kernel version 3.9.
All the live CDs I've tried work, even an Arch CD from May works, though a current install does not.
I have no problems connecting to another (wpa2 enterprise) network yet can't on this 3G modem.
I'm hoping this isn't a permanent issue and perhaps an update very soon will fix this.
It seems the only way to fix this for now is to use an old version of Linux. I'm currently running a virtual machine only for the purpose of Internet sharing, very annoying.

Bug fix for Mac book wireless - problem solved!

Aparantly there is a rather large number of folks out there who've discovered this dillema with wireless not working very well at this point on the Macbook.
Well, I can attest there is one very good solution out there for this issue. This application called Sonar Theater from www.sunray.tv includes a bug fix for the wireless connection issues with Macbook in their latest 1.5 release of Sonar Theater.
I downloaded it, put it into my start up folder and waalaa! problem solved. I've haven't any more issues with dropped wireless since - it's been running constantly for over 2 weeks now.
I haven't even attempted to touch my router configuration - don't need to.

Welcome to the better life of Macs. I am using Sonar Theater too and it's been working very well for me. In fact, I'm getting hooked on just texting a message to my Mac book to fire up user sessions now. I think if you give the Mac Book some time however, you'll find that there really is no comparison to PC's. Your life overall is going to just keep getting better as you dig in to the resources available to new Mac users.
I'm sure it seems confusing to PC users at first, but here's how to set up any application as part of your startup sequence. It really is extremely easy and simple compared to the PC world. Oh and by the way, in reality, Mac users refer to this as your login sequence. So, at login time, you can do a multitude of different things for each user account you might want to set up. Naturally, you can choose to share or not share applications and data between these user accounts on your Mac too....
Mac OS X 10.3 or later
1. Log in as the user who wishes to have a login item or as an admin user.
2. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu.
3. Choose Accounts from the View menu.
4. Click the name of the user.
5. Click the Startup Items button
6. Click the "Add {+}" button.
The item you selected will automatically open the next time you log in.
there are several ways to get good info from the apple community on tips and tricks as well. you should just try the apple os x web site...here,

happy mac-ing!

Photoshop - Motion - DVDSP Color Problem

This message is crossposted in the Motion Forum because I'm not sure where the solution is to be found...
I'm putting together a dvd and I wanted to create transition animations to go between the menus. I've run into a bit of a color problem, however. To explain:
I created my main menu as a layered photoshop document (8-bit RGB, NTSC colorspace). I brought that menu into Motion, preserving all layers. I animated those layers in motion so that at the end of the animation they were another menu on the dvd, then I exported the last frame of the animation, brought it back into photoshop, and made everything line up so that it precisely matched the final frame of the animation, then saved that PSD as a new layered document. Finally, in DVD Studio Pro, I brought in the two Menu PSDs and the animated transition.
The problem I'm running into is that the color on the transition animation is washed out and somewhat desaturated compared to the menu PSDs. Rather than the seamless transition from layered menu PSD to animation and back to layered menu PSD, you can see this altered color "pop" on the animation.
Here's what I've checked and tried:
-I've exported the motion project as every codec that made any kind of sense (Animation NTSC, Apple Pro Video NTSC, etc).
-I've brought the Motion project directly into DVD Studio Pro, rather than exporting it.
-Using the color inspector in both Photoshop and Motion, I can see that all RGB values match exactly as they should.
-When I exported a frame of the animation and brought it back into Photoshop to create the second layered menu, the color matched exactly. In fact, I did the alignment using the "difference" layer mode, and there was no color shift at all.
So... any ideas?
Also: I'm going from these layered menus to a video track (first frame matches the layered menu) to another layered menu (matching the final frame of the video track)... that is the most sensible way to have animated transitions between menus, right?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
-W

Well, I found a solution... DVDSP didn't like the image in NTSC, but it seems to work with Generic RGB, provided I redo all of the animation from scratch using the same Generic RGB PSDs. A bit of a pain, but I suppose that's why I did this test after completing only one of the many animations the project will demand.
Thanks everyone for the insights.

Mediawiki, mysql, php? problems [SOLVED]

On Sunday my Arch install that is hosted by Slicehost became unresponsive to them so they had to do an emergency reboot. After it came back up my install of mediawiki was (and still is) only returning a blank page (at least in Firefox). After some digging I found out that part of the problem was that mysqld wasn't starting so I managed to get that fixed by commenting out the lines relating to innodb and putting in skip-innodb into my.cnf. But I'm still getting a blank page.
According to Mediawiki's manual, "A blank white page indicates a PHP error which isn't being printed to the screen." They give two lines to put into LocalSettings.php to force error messages but after doing that I'm still getting a blank page. Changing display_errors in php.ini to ON didn't have any effect. When I load the wiki in Safari I get the following error: "Got java.io.EOFException (Server closed connection while sending the HTTP header.): http://some_url.com/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page". I have no idea what this error means and googling java.io.EOFException doesn't bring up anything very helpful. My PHP Test Page indicates that PHP is up and running.
Any ideas on fixes or where I can find more clues?
[EDIT]
Mysql was definitely the root of the problems with Mediawiki. I tried nearly every suggestion listed in the forums for fixing a mysql install that wouldn't start but nothing worked. I even completely uninstalled mysql and reinstalled it but it still refused to start. I switched over to postgresql and switched mediawiki to run with that. Problem solved.

Acrobat printing problems (solved)

Hi Folk
I'm getting on well with Arch apart from one problem, I can not print from Acrobat reader, it accepts the command and does precisely nothing, the jobs are appearing in cups but not being printed, I can print from Open Office and test print from cups but no cooperation with acrobat, anyone have any ideas? thanks
Pete
Last edited by pete051 (2009-09-29 19:14:12)

I don't know what DE are you using. In my case, I use xfce and when acroread starts with his stupidity I just change the print command to 'xfprint'. That forces acroread to redirect the print job to xfce's printing frontend, and problem solved.
Now, if you're using kde, I guess there is something named 'kdeprint', 'kprint' or similar. For gnome, I've no idea.
I hope this helps.
p.s. Sometimes, cups takes his time to print. When its taking too long I purge cups' temp files and restart the daemon.
