GDM Cursor 'busy' at Log-on.

Hi, all!
Just a slight niggle with my GDM set-up. When GDM is waiting for me to enter my log-on credentials, the cursor appears 'busy'. Usually with other applications, a 'pointer' or 'arrow' would appear and only turn into the 'stop watch' when it really is busy. I have not seen this behaviour on other distros. Do I need to do something to enable my cursor to change to a 'pointer' whilst at the log-on screen?
Thanks,
Chris.

you will need to put some extra lines in the users ~/.bashrc file in their home directory.
I use this :
if [[ -z "$DISPLAY" ]] && [[ $(tty) = /dev/vc/1 ]]; then
startx
fi
Taken from here Start_X_at_boot
Te effect of the above lines is that when user C logs in on console 1 X is automatically started, & from other consoles just gets the console.
Other users are not affected.

Set the cursor busy steered by supanel vi

I let run a vi and there is a subpanel. Is there a way that I can set the cursor busy steered by the subpanel vi. I pass the reference of the mainvi over a global variable into subvi. Without success there is no error message but the busy cursor does not appear. Just setting the cursor in subvi creates a null window error. Is there a easy way to implement it. Or do I have to use user events in main vi called by suvi an then se it busy. Would be not so nice to understand it later.
kind regards reto

I attach my test VI (LV 8.0). You can try it.

Using Set Cursor Busy in Veristand Custom Device Page

I am writing a Custom Device in Veristand and tried using the Set Busy vi to disable the cursor while I am doing some tasks on a System Explorer page. It seems like the Set and Unset Busy vi do not work inside of the System Explorer environment. I see that NI provides a way to release the cursor with the Veristand API but I do not see a way to set it busy with in the API.
Am I correct in saying these cursor VIs don't work the way they would in a normal application? Or is there a work around here that I am missing?
Thanks.

Hello,
The idea is good, it works for me if you open a reference to System Explorer.lvlibystem Explorer.vi (VeriStand 2012) :

Executing "bring to center" on a free cursor in a log XY graph brings the cursor to the top rim of the graph (instead of the center)

Dear support,
dear LV users,
selecting "bring to center" for a free cursor in a XY graph does not
bring the cursor into the center of the graph, but instead the command brings it to the
mean/average value. This is not an issue for a linear mapping
of the axis [due to the fact that the center of the axis is equal to
the middle/average value of the end points on the axis]. But when
mapping of the axis is logarithmic, the cursor ends up on the top of
the screen. That is because the average value of the end points
(min(y_axis)+max(y_axis))/2) is not equal to the center of the axis.
Is that a wished behavior, please?
Example: For an y_axis = [1..100], the awaited center position would be at
10 and not at 50.5. The center position for the logarithmic mapping
should be calculated as (log(min(y_axis))+log(max(y_axis)))/2, IMHO.
Kind regards,
Solved!

You are right, LabVIEW chooses this form (min(y_axis)+max(y_axis))/2).
You can go to "idea exchange".

here you can see how many people like your idea.
Perhaps it will be considered in the next version of LabVIEW.

Cursor Busy in JFileChooser

I am using a JFileChooser to open directories, some of the directories can contain a lot of sub directories and it can take a while to update the display with the contents (5 seconds), but the JFileChooser doesnt show a busy cursor whilst doing this so can appear to the user that the directory is empty.
is this a bug in java , i havent found anything in the Bug Database. ?
Running on Windows JDK 1.5.

It should work if "parent" is a Window.
I do notice a problem if you navigate to an empty directory, in which case there is no
contentsChanged event and the wait cursor doesn't go away. I will investigate if there
is a solution for that.
Here is a complete example.

import java.beans.*;
import javax.swing.*;

import javax.swing.plaf.*;

        SwingUtilities.invokeAndWait(new Runnable() {

                final JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();
                FileChooserUI ui = fc.getUI();
                if (ui instanceof BasicFileChooserUI) {
                    fc.addPropertyChangeListener(new PropertyChangeListener() {

                            if (s.equals(JFileChooser.DIRECTORY_CHANGED_PROPERTY)) {
                                setCursor(fc, Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR);

Business rule Log/error files in 11.1.1.3?

Hi,
How can I trace out the status of business rules in EAS for running a calculation on essbase cube.where can I find these log/error files?
In log files can we trace out the error like where it went wrong...?
Thanks

If you have a look at hbrlaunch.log it will provide details of the business rules that have been run.
If on 11.1.1.3 and windows the file can be by default in C:\windows\system32
If you do get any errors running the rule then the essbase app log is probably the best to find more information on the error.
Cheers

How do I reset Business Catalyst log-on after redirecting website to Google Sites?

I am trying to log into my Business Catalyst account after moving my website to google sites - the BC login tries to go to the new website instead of logging into a business Catalyst dashboard.
All I want to do is to make sure the Business Catalyst account is closed and files are deleted - but can't get to it.

Is the user logging out or is the internet disconnecting after 15 minutes?
If the user is logging out go to System Preferences > Security and there is an option to log-out after a specified time period inactive, uncheck that box.

Cursor busy state (Google Chrome problem)

Hi OTN,
On ADF page there is a form where input components has autoSubmit="true" and a value change listener.
VCL perporms database operation, on start of which mouse cursor is changing its state to busy (showing busy icon).
But the cursor is not changing icon to normal automatically after operation ends - this only happen on mouse move.
This confuses user, making them think the operation is still ongoing if they do not move the mouse.
Could I cope the problem with the cursor state?
I want it it to come back to normal state after operation is over.
JDeveloper 11.1.1.3
Thanks.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your answer, but that isn't what I need.
This isn't a case of a long running query, quite the contrary: the operation takes half a second.
But the cursor stays busy until the mouse move.

Business rules log files

Hello,
Can someone please tell me where the information is stored when I launch a business rule from the EAS console? I know when launching from planning application but I need the information specifically for EAS.
The version is 9.3.1.
Cheers

You want to have a search for hbrlaunch.log, if you are on windows it is usually stored in the odd place of windows\system32

Mouse cursor disappears after logging out

I have set up 3 identical x86 systems, which means they all have the same mouse, same keyboard, same motherboard, same CPU, etc. The first 2 systems work fine with Solaris 10. The last system has this problem:
After I installed Solaris, the system boots up. I would log in as root. The mouse works fine. The moment I log out, I see the log in window. My mouse cursor is gone. Only the keyboard works.
So I re-installed Solaris 10 again. Same problem.
I went out and bought the same motherboard. Re-installed Solaris 10 again. Same problem.
I can't argue that maybe the mouse is not compatible with Solaris because that same mouse works fine with the other 2 systems. Also, I tried other mice, and I have the same problem.
I can't say that there's something wrong with my Solaris installation CD's because I've used those same CD's to install on the other 2 systems, and there's no problem.
Anyone has a suggestion what could be causing this, and how to fix it? Thanks.

Hello,
I've tried to reproduce this problem -- but so far oi have not been able to reproduce the mouse-pointer vanishing. Can you break this down into some steps?
Like this:
1. Launch application
2. Via File-> New-> Captions make a new Closed Caption accepting all defaults
3. After the caption is opened from the Project area, make a few caption blocks/ slots via a the "+" button
4. Put text in each block
5. in the second caption, click on the "In:" time and type 000000000 and hit RETURN key
6. Click <OK> in the caption overlap warning
7. ...
8. ..
I'll try again when I see how you are getting the problem.
Take care!

Cursor speed on Log on screen

Is there a way to change the mouse cursor speed on the log on screen? Once I log in it's the speed I'd like. Please help!

No. None of your settings take place until after you log in. If you wish you can setup automatic login which bypasses the login screen. You do that using the Users & Groups preferences. It's a login option.

[SOLVED] kdm/gdm not letting me log in - tty access only

I was on the road for a month and updated my desktop (64 bit) via ssh regularly. Everything went well until 5th April when I upgraded, among others, sqlite3, libproxy and libsoup. These were the last signs of life from my desktop...
I returned home today and managed to get it up to date (although I still don't know why ssh failed). Then attempted to go into init 5 and kdm popped up as advertised but upon entering my password it simply drops back to the kdm mask.
~/.xsession-errors says:
libglade-2.0.so.0: file too short
libsqlite3.so.0: file too short
I installed gdm just for the fun of it and it reports the same errant behaviour (much better than kdm btw which didn't tell me sod all).
Neither login manager lets me into any other DE either. So, what am I missing?
Oh, and many thanks for any hints/tips/suggestions

update:
libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 was 0 byte. I attempted to reinstall sqlite3 but pacman wouldn't let me - so I forced it and it obeyed.
result:
I can log in again from the command line only
kdm is still complaining about libsqlite3.so being too small... afaik there is no way of removing and reinstalling kdm on its own, is there? Oh, I should add I've got KDE vanilla.

Business Catalyst Log in form via AJAX

Hi guys I am trying to avoid the standard form redirection of Business Catalyst to a more customisable style but I cant get it to respond properly.
Here is my code:
$("#login-form").submit(function(e) {
        e.preventDefault();
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: $(this).attr("action"),
            data: $(this).serialize(),
            success: function(e) {
                window.location = 'https://bestkilts.worldsecuresystems.com/user-system/order-history.htm'; // I know this can be set from the form submission but I have other plans
            error: function(e) {
                $(".form-error").slideDown();
                $(".form-error").delay(8e3).slideUp(300)
The form is already submitting via AJAX! "&JSON=1".
Eventually the error message responds as a success! so I cant really look at the AJAX response to code this precise.
Please any one there with some knowledge about it please share.

Only custom web forms in BC have an ajax / json response request, that will not work with the login form and some others in BC.
You will need to do your own ajax request but then you will not issues about the cross domain etc. You need to look at how the BC login works, your refresh and how to address that. (Its more complicated then you think)
