Gnome-screensaver doesn't autolock the screen in gnome 2.26 in testing
Under gnome 2.26 in testing, gnome screensaver no longer auto locks the screen after the specified time. The screensaver doesn't even come up either. I have to manually switch off the monitor.
Anyone else seeing this bug? How can I find out what's going wrong?

Just start gnome-screensaver on a terminal (it starts up in daemon mode by default).
That's it.For a test you can set screensaver time to 1 min.
A random discovery I am happy for

Workspace doesn't fit the screen anymore...
Hello.
Since today (and Mac OS X's update I installed this morning, I guess), my Photoshop CS6 workspace doesn't fit the screen of my 12 inch Cintiq (connected to a 2014 Macbook Air). No matter what I do, it keeps it wrong.
Trying to set the photoshop window to the whole Cintiq screen with the "green" Mac OS corner button, this is what I get:
Hitting F won't do the trick, this is what it gets me:
I tried to clear the Photoshop prefs, without success. I checked for updates and found there was a Photoshop update I had not yet installed, and I did install it, to no success. Needless to say, this makes my copy of Photoshop most unusable, which is a really big problem for an illustrator like me. I really wish I can solve this as soon as possible.
Thanks.Yeah, no results. Still the same.
If I take my main window and move it up by myself, it's just gonna stay there until the next click somewhere, then it gets back to this wrong placement,. -

I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?
Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

The "updates" page on my iTunes Store on my iPad doesn't open, the screen remains blank...please help
Mine is doing the exact same thing. 12 updates and I cannot select any of them for the past week.

The hinge between my screen and my computer (macbook pro retina) has cracked and doesn't hold the screen anymore. Can I fix it without changing my screen. And if it's still on guarantee does Apple have to repair it?
Apple can fix any and all of their computers. Whether it would be charged to you would be the question. Do you have AppleCare?
Accidental damage is not covered by AppleCare.
How old is this computer? -
Why are the apps on my IPad scattered across the whole thing and when I open them they turn to little rectangles in the corner of the screen and I can't even use them or tap on anything. Also when I turn my iPad it doesn't flip the screen over.
Hi The next thing to do is to Restore back to Factory Settings this will get rid of any bugs . After Restore use same Apple ID /Password then you should get all your Apps & data back If you still have this problem make an Appointment at Apple Store . Cheers Brian

[SOLVED] gnome-screensaver bug? unintended lock screen behaviour
Everytime I close my laptop lid, the screen locks. I am fine with this EXCEPT when I am using two screens. I watch movies with my laptop and I like to close the lid because it blocks my reciever from getting the signal from my remote to change the volume. With gnome 3.4, I have not been able to do this unless I disable lock screen completely.

org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-action 120
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power time-critical 300
As you can see in the middle of this code block that closing the lid is supposed to do nothing but that is not the case. What I want is for the screen to lock when I close my laptop lid only if there is one screen or not at all. I could disable the lock screen completely through gsettings but that is not what I want either. Any help would be much appreciated and no I do not want to use xscreensaver

Edit: Found a way to fix this. Go into brightness and screen, then change lock off when screen turns blank. So basically, changing laptop lid close in gnome tweak tool or in gsettings to nothing doesn't matter since in the brightness and lock, the setting is to lock screen whenever it is turned off and obviously the screen is turned off since closing the lid does on just about every laptop. Marking as solved.

Image doesn't fill the screen on my mac book, Why?
I have two black strips, one up each side of the screen and I can't find away of getting the image to fill the screen again.
it doesn't sound like you actually figured it out.
image taken fromt he web and edited to show you where the setting are.
You can choose to right click your desktop or go to system preferenes. they all lead you to this screen.
if you are in system preferences and don't see where Desktop & Screen Saver settings are just type it in the search area.

I was in the middle of texting my mom and the screen stopped working! It only stopped working in the middle but i can't even turn it back on because my password numbers won't work when i touch them! I also cannot reboot my ipod because the power button doesn't work! I need help on fixing this problem please!!
Try as best you can with broken button.:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Game doesn't fit the screen, iPod menu sideways
I have a 4th generation iPod Nano. The problem here comes from the game Brain Challenge.
This is probably a very confusing and complicated explanation of the problem, so I've provided photos of the problem at the bottom of this post.
When I start Brain Challenge the game video is not aligned with the screen so that part of the game is cut off when I play. The game should be displayed on the screen horizontally (with the ipod held horizontally - as in Klondike), however my problem is that Brain Challenge is displayed with a vertical orientation (with the ipod held vertically), meaning the right-hand side of the Brain Challenge interface is cut off by the edge of the screen and there is a large black area at the bottom of the screen (see photo #1).
To make matters worse, when I exit Brain Challenge the orientation of all the ipod menus are askew as well (photo #2). With the ipod held vertically, the ipod menus are now displayed sideways, with anything at the "bottom" of the menu being cut off by the edge of the screen, and a large empty black space at the bottom of the screen. I have found that the only way to correct this and reorient the ipod menu display is to go to Cover View (even resetting the ipod does not resolve it). When I exit Cover View everything is back to normal.
While I have been able to fix the display of the ipod menus when this happens, the problem I described above reoccurs each time I attempt to play Brain Challenge. Maybe the game thinks I have a 3rd generation Nano?
I have uninstalled the game from my ipod and reinstalled it with no better luck. The only other software I have added to my ipod is Ms. Pac-man.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

Ipod Menu sideways: http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/4831/menuo.jpgI would do a Restore in iTunes to erase the iPod and initialize its software. Then re-sync your iTunes library as desired, including adding that game. See if it plays better.
If not, and you don't have any similar problems when you play any other games (or at any other time when using the iPod), you should report the problem about that game through the iTunes Store. You can do so using iTunes by selecting the iTunes Store in the sidebar, then clicking on your iTunes Store user ID at the upper right corner. This will give you your account summary view. Click on +Purchase History+. From there, you can find the specific purchase that has this game and +Report a Problem+ to explain the issues. If desired, you can request a refund, because the game does not work as expected.
After doing the Restore, if you notice other similar issues (not just a problem in that game), you may want to have the iPod looked at under the one-year warranty. -
Monitor doesn't fill the screen
Hi all, I'm using an Asus VN247 monitor along with my macbook pro (either 2012 or 2013 I cant remember which year) and it doesnt fill up the entire screen on the windows side (8.1). When I switch back over to the mac side however it works fine and fills to the edge. Does anyone know a fix for this? I have the settings to the highest resolution, 1920X1080 and cant find anything else that will effect it.
look under macbook pro here and download and install the right driver set for your specific machine

my ipod touch is disabled and it say to connect to iTunes.... I connected to itunes and it doesnt change my ipod screen! help me get back into my ipod touch again!
You will have to erase the iPod,
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. -
Gnome-sudoku doesn't show the grid
Hi! I have a problem with sudoku game. You can see it on the screenshot
How did you install the Greybird-master theme?
Xfce4 is gtk2 dependent and gnome-sudoku is a gtk3 appli, so I am surprised that changing the theme in Xfce worked for the gnome game.
All this is not very clear to me.
Personally I use some gtk3 applis and I have this '$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini' file:
[Settings]
gtk-theme-name = oxygen-gtk
gtk-font-name = DejaVu Sans 10
gtk-icon-theme-name= oxygen
gtk-fallback-icon-theme = gnome
The theme comes from the oxygen-gtk3 package which is installed like that:
$ pacman -Ql oxygen-gtk3
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/bin/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/bin/oxygen-gtk3-demo
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/lib/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/theming-engines/liboxygen-gtk.so
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/argb-apps.conf
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/gtk-csd.css
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/gtk-spinner.css
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/gtk.css
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/icons4
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/kdeglobals
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/oxygenrc
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/special-icons/
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/special-icons/standardbutton-closetab-16.png
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/special-icons/standardbutton-closetab-down-16.png
oxygen-gtk3 /usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-3.0/special-icons/standardbutton-closetab-hover-16.png
If you install your theme manually, you can do something like that for the gtk3 part of the theme.
Don't forget the necessary engine of the theme:
Dependencies of gtk3.2-branch (for Gtk3.2)
– gtk2-engines-murrine (v0.90)
- gtk3-engines-unico (v1.0.1)
As an aside again here is a screenshot of sudoku-savant:
I don't find that so ugly and there is a solver and the 'expert' level is pretty hard to solve.
