Gvim and xfce problems

I have funny (but extremely irritating) problem with gvim and xfce. Sometimes gvim window begins to shrink in vertical direction and I have no way to stop this.
+--------------------+
| Gvim |
+--------------------+
| |
| |
| ^ |
| | |
+--------------------+
Also from time to time the window is resized to a size that makes the last line of text visible only in half.
This seems to be a problem either with gvim or xfwm4, because it happens only when these two are used together. I also checked the oroborus window manager which xfwm4 claims to be based on. Behaviour is the same!
This is problematic because I don't know whose fault is this - gvim or wm.
Did you experience the same problem?

A screenshot would be just eyecandy in this case. To see what's the problem, an ANIMATION would be needed. After the Gvim is mapped to the screen it shrinks LINE BY LINE until there is only one line of text visible. This process takes about 2 seconds.
Here is the ANIMATION:
frame #1:
+------+
| abc |
| 123 |
| def |
| ghi |
+------+
frame #2:
+------+
| abc |
| 123 |
| def |
+------+
frame #3:
+------+
| abc |
| 123 |
+------+
frame #4:
+------+
| abc |
+------+
This is annoying, because I need to WAIT a few seconds for this to end and then resize manually the window.
I hope you understand now. Try it yourself (xfce+gvim or oroborus+gvim)!
you can save an animation (video) from X by using xvidcap (in extra)
i use vi in an aterm in xfce4 and have no problems ... and now i tried gvim to try to reproduce your trouble, but i cannot reproduce

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
Thank you.

Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
Just try them, and choose the one you like

Bullets showing up as hearts in LXDE and XFCE?

I'm running into a super strange issue that I haven't been able to find any information on.
Basically, when I'm in LXDE or XFCE, whenever I go to a website or any place where I put in a password and it shows up corresponding bullets in lieu of the password characters (for example, logging into GMail, when typing my password) it shows heart symbols, not the bullets it normally does.
Oddly, when in Gnome this isn't the case and the bullets show up as proper bullets, not as hearts. I'm not sure when this issue began, because I was running Gnome for so longer, ever since I first installed Arch on this laptop. I haven't had the problem on my desktop.
I'm not even sure where to begin figuring this out. I've got my console set to UTF-8.
You can see it in this screenshot:
Any help would be fantastic. It's not a functional thing, but it's incredibly annoying.
EDIT: Also, fyi, U+2202 prints a bullet point as it should, and this issue occurs in all browsers on all websites in LXDE and XFCE (but not Gnome, haven't tried KDE)

How would one change this? My rc.conf is set as:
LOCALE="en_US.UTF-8"
DAEMON_LOCALE="yes"
HARDWARECLOCK="UTC"
So this should have the OS using UTF-8, correct?
I've set my fonts in obconf to Liberation Sans, instead of simply sans.
Also interesting, in Chromium I do not get the hearts, but I get them in every Mozilla application, as well as in most other applications that accept passwords (encryption keys in wicd network manager, for instance).
Is it something to do with GTK?

Arch and XFCE

Hi, I'm trying to create an Arch install with XFCE. So far I have succesfully partitioned the hard drive, installed xorg and XFCE. I can run XFCE without any problems. No I want to configure it so I can:
- Play all kind of multimedia files
- Burn CD/DVD's
- Install GTK engines (Murrine, Rezlooks etc...)
- Add users
- Login as Root
The most important thing is Playing multimedia files and installing GTK themes.
I really love Arch because it works so fast.
PS. I did search the WIKI but I coulnd't find something usefull.

This little program lets you change your Gtk+ 2.0 theme. A better
alternative to switch2
community/gtk2_prefs 0.4.1-1
A GTK2 theme selector and font switcher
so nothing has been installed.. it just lists some useful apps for changing gtk themes and preferences. you will probably only need gtk-theme-switch2 and gtk2_prefs. if you need to set the theme for older gtk applications, then install gtk-theme-switch as well.
edit: and to answer your question about searching for packages.. you can search on the arch website, or you can use pacman:
pacman --sync --search [package]
(shortform: pacman -Ss [package]
the murrine engine is the package: gtk-engine-murrine
and rezlooks: gtk-rezlooks-engine
(both are in the community repository)

'''(in English)'''

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

BOSD, Battery issues and Heating problem after iOS 8 upgrade

i have upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 am facing blue screen issues and heating problem as well. This is really frustrating even the patch iOS 8.0.2 dint solve the problem. Are you guys listening our complaints. When will you fixing it.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV

}when the code is run it says something like this:
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 9
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 38
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 8
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 31
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 7
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 24
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 6
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 17
my point is whatever some one hits it always repeats that
my expected output would have to be something like
you hit 1
RockCrabs health is 9
RockCrab hit 9
your health is 37
you hit 3
RockCrabs health is 6
RockCrab hit 4
your health is 33
you hit 2
RockCrabs health is 4
RockCrab hit 7
your health is 26
you hit 3
RockCrabs health is 1
RockCrab hit 6
your health is 20

Remote and IR Problem

A rather odd and annoying problem has recently been occuring on my MBP. A couple days ago my remote (after working without fail for over a year now) suddenly stopped working. Yesterday night and this morning it started working again but after a while it stopped again. I've read dozens of support articles which haven't really helped because there seems to be another problem.
Most articles have stated that there is an option to disable the IR receiver in the "security" window under system preferences. When the IR and remote are not working this option disappears but when they are working the option is present. I have also tried replacing the battery without any result.
I am now thinking that it might have something to do with heat buildup because it is mainly occuring after the laptop has been on for about a half hour, so I am going to try to borrow someone's fan.
If anyone has any suggestions to solve this I would appreciate it if you could help. Thanks!

LG Ally text message and gps problems

hello. ive been with verizon for about 10 years maybe. ive been overall happy with the service and customer service. but the prices should be alot lower.lol. i started out with the motorolas then switched to the lg phones. only problem with the motorola was the speakers. not loud enough. could never hear the phone ring. the lgs usually suffer from the same problem.
i had a few phone problems but nothing like this lg ally. im on my second one and about to be my 3rd one in about 3 months. 1st phone i had every problem under the sun. this phone i am suffering from text message problems and gps problems. i suffer from what everyone else has problems with. the messages wont send. they will eventually lock up. it will show the envelope with the red explanation point ( i think thats the graphic). then usually everytime when i sent a text the texts will close. it will send then bounce back and show up as a draft and i have to resend it and wait for it to go thru. finally the last problem with the texts. when i send a text a phone number from my contacts shows up and freezes on the screen. its in white text with a black background. its the same number every time. it stays on the screen until i restart or pull my battery out.
gps. when i open up google gps that comes with the phone i make sure the gps is on... when the directions are found and the map pops up 9 out of 10 times it just keeps saying searching for gps. the turn by turn never is found. the 1 time it does it takes a good 10 minutes to be found. atleast on my first one ally the gps did work 8 out of 10 times. it just took a good 5-10 minutes for gps to be found and show turn by turn.
anyone else have these problems? where you able to fix them or did you need to get a new phone? the 2.1 update was supposed to fix problems. i think they just made it worse. the ally is supposed to have 2.2 froyo. where is it. is it ever going to get it. i got this phone because i like the lgs and the keyboard. also the sales representative on the phone was giving the lg ally rave reviews. why couldnt he say dont buy this go with a motorola droid. this phone is the biggest junk ever made

I do apologize you are having trouble with your device I looked in our information system on the LG Ally in reguards to issues you are having it states if you have the Free Droid Security anti virus protection application down loaded it will cause the phone to lock up or freeze. Check and make sure you do not have the application on your device. Check you GPS settings and make sure correct. Go to Settings; Location & Security; make sure GPS is on wireless network. If this does not fix issue you can try doing a Master Reset on your device. Make sure your contacts are saved in your G-mail account or through Back Up Assistance.
Master Reset/Soft Reset:
Factory Reset option 1
From the main screen, touch menu tab
Touch Settings
Touch Privacy
Touch Factory Data reset
Touch Reset Phone
Warning: This will erase all data from your phone, including:
Your Google account
System and application data and settings
Downloaded Applications
It will not erase: Current System software and bundled applications; SD Card files, such as music or Photos
Factory Reset option 2 - Warning this will reset device back to original factory settings.
Turn off the phone
Press and hold "home" + "end" + "volume up or down" keys together for a few seconds when the device is power off
Once device displays boot information, release keys.
Soft Reset
Press the Power key.
Touch Power off.
Touch OK.
Press the Power key to power on the device.
or
Remove battery cover, remove battery and reinstall.Also there is a new update for LG Ally it will be the Froyo 2.2 but there is not release date available at this time it will post on your device when available. Hope this Helps. Leslie

How do I fix my ipod classic that says very low batter after I have charged it and the problem persists?

I have an Ipod video 30g that says Please wait very low battery. I charged it for about a day and the problem persists. I've tried using some solutions on the internet and none of them worked including: holding the menu and select, holding select and play to put it in disk mode with no avail. Is there anyone who can help me!!!

Have you read this post written by another forum member?
The Sad iPod icon.
However, as your iPod was purchased on Boxing Day, why not get it serviced under the warranty?
You can arrange online service here.

Or if an Apple store is near you, take it there and have them check your iPod.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,change remotes, no change.Help please.

Purchased a new Apple TV and the remote double clicks each time I press the button. It worked fine during set up and for the first two days. I have since moved it and this problem started. Restarted,reset,unplugged,changed remotes, no change. Latest software update. This is really annoying. iPhone remote app works just fine. Any suggestions?

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

I mean that i phone take time to open apps ,contact ,etc why? i close all apps and the problem still?

Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.
