Hidden directories /net and /home on user's desktop

What purpose and function do the /net and /home hidden directories serve?

As far as you are concerned those directories do nothing. They are part of the Unix standard directory tree. Presently they are not in use. They should always be hidden so you should never see them on your Desktop. You can reset their hidden status by:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following commands:
sudo chflags hidden /net
sudo chflags hidden /home
killall Finder
Press RETURN after each command line. You will be asked to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
This should remove them from sight.

Update from 10.5.6 to 10.5.8 and lost all users and their home directories

My server has been working flawlessly for many months. I did the upgrade to 10.5.6 and everything has been fine. I decided to do the software update to 10.5.8. When it was finished I could not log in as admin or anyone else. I finally got in as root...then it gave me an error in Workgroup Manager. Said I was not logged in and there was an error of -14008.
All my users are gone and so is their home directories....I hate to say it but this is ridiculous...doing a simple update and losing all the users? I expect this from Windows but not my xSERVER.
Does anyone have a fix to correct this? I really hate having to tell all the users tomorrow morning a simple update wiped all their data.

Hi
I saw your issue and I feel your pain. I did the same upgrade path to 10.6 and found that I had no users!. This is not your typical apple upgrade, the same as all other 10-X from day one. I cheated and used a new drive as I feel that upgrades may cause issues and I also used that as an opportunity to upgrade to a larger hard drive. After booting up on the new system with the upgraded drive I found the same issue to be true. I used the original drive, modified all my users to allow my new admin account to have rights to a user that I called 'move' on the old system. I booted up the old system modified all the users to allow user 'move' then I copied them to the new directory I set up that I called 'move' on the old drive, The next step I set up a new user 'move' on the new system drive and copied all the data from the old system drive 'move' to the new system drive 'move' I created all of my users on the new system drive. I set up all of my user accounts with a simple password 123456 on the new system I copied the users to there new directory. You could restore your backup on spare drive or an external drive with the old OS loaded. Postits on all the users monitors for Monday morning and... grumbling users with all of the data from Friday, get KrispyCreams and leave by the coffee pot [this step i forgot]. The users will talk about how nice it was that you brought doughnuts and not how there login is messed up [ha ha....}
I know that this is not an elegant or a quick solution but it worked for me and my 36 user accounts. If you know Unix script or Python or Apple script the procedures would be faster as you could batch the whole mess.
Hope this helps and good luck.

EmieSiteList and EmieUserList
Microsoft Security - Privacy Concerns
I found two unknown directories on my PC in my user profile. I have, so far, been unable to identify what put them there, which process owns them, and when I delete them (using Admin escalated privileges) they come back after a few minutes or immediately
after reboot.
     c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\EmieSitelist\container.dat
     c:\users\USERNAME\appdata\local\EmieUserlist\container.dat
     C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList\container.dat
     C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserlist\container.dat
It was time, anyway, so I wiped the drive using factory low-level overwriting and performed a clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro using a freshly downloaded ISO from Microsoft; one with an ESD distribution, written to a new just out-of-the-bedamned-hardshell-plastic
flashdrive..
I just completed the clean install, in this sequence:
Boot to flashdrive and let Windows create partitions then install. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Activate. Check AppData; no folders found.
Run first Update; install everything except Bing Bar and Desktop.    Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Add Feature Windows Media Center. Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Run Updates a second time. Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Remove MS C++ v12 x86 and x64 installed during Update.    Check AppData; no folders found. Reboot. Check AppData; no folders found.
Download from MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vstudio/default) Redistributables MS C++ x86 and x64, 2005, 2008, 2010, and 2012.4 versions, and install in sequence. Check AppData
after each install; no folders found. Reboot after each install and check AppData; no folders found.
Run Updates a third time. Response was No Updates Available. Check AppData; no folders found.
Reboot. Check AppData; all four sub-directories are now present.
These sub-directories and dat-files are not, so far, present in the AppData\Roaming directory.
There is nothing except Microsoft Windows 8.1 Pro WMC and the 10 MS C++ packages installed; and MS Silverlight and AMD (videocard) Catalyst Control Center on the machine. Windows Defender is present but is installed as part of Windows 8 and 8.1;
and its' updates are provided via the MS Update process. All - repeat ALL of these items are provided by Microsoft.
My questions are: What are the Emie directories for; what program created them, and what does the various container.dat files "contain"? And . . . if not absolutely necessary, How do I get rid of them and keep them from coming back?
First attempt at Solution:
Permissions are Full for System, USERNAME, and group Administrators. The USERNAME is the Owner, and Effective Permissions for each of the 3 is Full.
Open Command Prompt (Admin)
C:\Windows\system32>cd\
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieSiteList\container.dat
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieSiteList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieUserList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\EmieUserList\container.dat
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserList\container.dat
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieUserList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList
C:\>attrib -r -h +s C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\EmieSiteList\container.dat
C:\>
BOTH Files and Directories are no longer Hidden. The Directories still show that the files within are READ-Only, but checking the actual file shows that it is no longer R-O.
I then deleted each of the 4 directories and closed Windows (File) Explorer.
After less than 3 minutes reading pages on the internet (at Microsoft's Ask Windows Community), I opened Windows Explorer to check and found that the sub-directories had re-created themselves in both the Local and LocalLow directories.
The container.dat files were back in the Local sub-dir and after another few minutes, also back in the LocalLow sub-dir.
Both the sub-directories and the container.dat files are once again Super-Hidden.
Analysis using Windows utilities and SysInternals and NirSoft tools have not identified which object or process or service owns these objects.
ADDED: My system is a home system, not connected to any work domain via VPN or otherwise. WHY is the Windows Update Team not spending time to implement condition-and-error-checking to ensure that unneeded updates, services, and changes are not made
without the system owner/operator permission? Further, WHY is this particular issue so hard to find info about; what is being kept from customers and why?

Change Open File Work and Home Directories

Is it possible to change the Open File Work and Home Directories (buttons on the left)?

FWIW, I'd love to see this too. It'd be quite useful in other products as well.. ;)
It is actually possible to programmatically extend the list of shortcuts in this dialog, so someone could in theory write an extension for SQL Developer to add support for user customizable buttons. Seems like a nice project if someone is bored ;)
The API in question is:
oracle.ide.dialogs.DialogUtil.registerShortcutButton( Icon, String, URL )
Thanks,
Brian
(updated to point to the correct API...)

I have an Apple TV 2nd Gen, iPad 2 and can't get the icon to appear when i swipe from left to right. What am I missing?
I am able to get the 'Home sharing' 'user and password on my Mac.
Also using IPad 2 I am able to get the ITunes to accept the user name and same password as the Mac.
However, the only way I can see the 'Home sharing; icon is in Music on the Ipad. When I tap on the Icon it asks for a password.
When I give the same password, it is rejected.
Help!!!!

Personally I think the iOS devices are poor at reconnecting - Airplay establishes that a link is available but when the iPhone/iPad has been away from the house and rejoins the network i think AppleTV already thinks it's connected with a different IP address and fails to recognise it has joined the network again with new credentials.
Something along those lines anyway.
I find that a combination of restarting AppleTV, router and iOS device tends to fix it, but not for everyone.

Hidden Private File and contents - hack or remote user?

Hi Guys.
Still think i have a hack or am being remotely accessed.
Found a private folder - hidden. the name should be my name - who is wheel or system - usually in this area it is my name?
would it be useful for you guys for me to show the contents of everything in here to see if here is a hack?
would macscan be able to find this hidden priviate file and find if there was something malicious?
- james.

The private folder is a normal & essential part of OS X. It is hidden because you should not tinker with its contents unless you know exactly what you are doing.
Likewise, system & wheel are normal & essential parts of the OS. See the "Owner, Group, Others" section of http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2963 for more about this.
You are not being hacked. Everything you see is normal.

"Extra" Internal Hard Drives won't mount - swap, /, and /home work.

Hello All,
*** I'm updating my post finally. Sorry it's so long, I'm not entirely sure what is and isn't relevant.
*** Also I think it's a mix up with RAID causing the issue, as I'll address below, but in case I'm wrong I wanted to include the other information that came to mind before I noticed the RAID issue (because the RAID issue doesn't make a lot of sense to me).
First off, I'm running Arch64 and KDE4 with my system up to date. Also I have Gamin installed and not FAM. I use ReiserFS on all of my partitions and drives.
I have six hard drives in my computer, all of which are SATA drives. One is a WD 150GB Raptor with my swap, /, and /home partitions on it, the other five are for extra storage on what I call my media-server (they mount to /media/media-server/1 ,2 ,and so on). They only have one partition each. Of those five the first (/media/media-server/1) is a WD 1TB drive, the other four are WD 500GB drives of identical model.
All of the Raptor's patitions, swap, /, and /home mount just fine.
On top of that the 1TB drive mounts just fine. But the four 500GB drives will not mount at all. They show up in Dolphin, Disk Utility, KwikDisk, KDiskFree, and Partition Manager. However, their size is not shown and/or marked N/A, except in Partition Manager, where their size is shown. They are not seen by 'df'.
Output from 'df':
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev 10M 308K 9.7M 4% /dev
/dev/sda2 25G 7.7G 17G 32% /
none 4.0G 0 4.0G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3 112G 90G 22G 81% /home
/dev/sdb1 932G 919G 13G 99% /media/media-server/1
*** As for removable media, it's being a bit odd. When I first wrote this post removable media, specifically USB flash drives and SD media cards mounted fine. A while after that they'd show up in Device Notifier, but wouldn't mount. Just a little while ago they wouldn't show up in Device Notifier and wouldn't mount. Now they show up fine and mount fine again. This is possibly unrelated, I'm not sure.
Depending on what method I try to mount my hard drives I either get an 'only root can mount that' error or else a HAL drive busy or already mounted error, followed by a 'drive is not mounted' error when I use umount to double check.
*** Permissions are working better now , Dolphin isn't giving me the 'only root can mount' errors anymore. Still can't mount the drives though.
All of this output is from when the drives are listed in /etc/fstab:
Konsole output:
mount /dev/sdf1
mount: only root can mount /dev/sdf1 on /media/media-server/5
sudo mount /dev/sdf1
mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/media-server/5 busy
umount /dev/sdf1
umount: /dev/sdf1 is not mounted (according to mtab)
sudo umount /dev/sdf1
umount: /dev/sdf1: not mounted
Dolphin output:
An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sdf1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
Device Notifier output (pops up when I try to mount the drives in Dolphin):
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.PermissionDenied: Device /dev/sdf1 is listed in /etc/fstab. Refusing to mount.
Partition Manager:
The file system on partition /dev/sdf1 could not be mounted.

==========================================================================================
Command: mount -v /dev/sdf1 /media/media-server/5
==========================================================================================
mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/media-server/5 busy
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/sdf1
I will try type reiserfs
At boot, when the daemons are starting I get:
mount: /dev/sdc1 already mounted or /media/media-server/2 busy
mount: /dev/sdd1 already mounted or /media/media-server/3 busy
mount: /dev/sde1 already mounted or /media/media-server/4 busy
mount: /dev/sdf1 already mounted or /media/media-server/5 busy
This is from when the drives are not listed in /etc/fstab:
Dolphin output:
An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked
Device Notifier output (pops up when I try to mount the drives in Dolphin):
An error occurred while accessing 'MediaServer5', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.InterfaceLocked: The enclosing drive for the volume is locked
I have tried listing (with the UUID method and the /dev method) and not listing the drives in /etc/fstab, and I have 'hal' and 'dbus' daemons in /etc/rc.conf (and I've tried using only the hal daemon and not the dbus in /etc/rc.conf). I've also tried not listing 'hal', 'dbus', and 'kdm' and only booting to terminal and then mounting the drives manually, that doesn't work either.
Here is my /etc/fstab (back to using UUID's):

I attempted to add the other drives to /etc/mtab but they get overwritten upon a reboot. I've drived mounting the drives from konsole and dolphin.
All my drives used to work. At one point I had Chakra installed and had this issue after an update, however after thinking about it the problem may have actually started after the power flashed on and off here. I couldn't fix it so I installed Arch64 and KDE4 (the normal KDE from the Arch repos, not KDEMod) thinking maybe it was a Chakra specific issue. That fixed it at the time. It later happened on my Arch install. I reinstalled Arch again and the issue was gone. However the issue is back. Again I think it was after a power outage/flash but it was also after an update that included a kernel update. Best I can remember each time it's happened has been after a kernel update and power flash. So I can't say for sure which is the cause.
Oddly though if I boot from a live disc (in my case a Chakra Live DVD) I can mount and access all of the drives just fine.
Another oddity, is that in 'Disk Utility' (palimpsest) there is a 1.5TB RAID-5 array listed. The only thing I can figure is that that is what is making the individual drives busy.
Here's a screenshot from Disk Utility of the RAID-5 array:
http://theavataroftime.com/sites/defaul … enshot.png
After talking to a friend I remembered that quite a while back (over a year) we had messed around trying to setup a RAID array and dual boot WindowsXP. However, we never could get it working quite right, not even just in Linux without dual booting. I really can't say what all we did/tried, it's been too long. I realize that's not much help but...
Anyway I'm pretty certain I deleted everything RAID related at the time and turned it off. However I must be mistaken or I guess the array wouldn't be showing up.
I apologize, I really know nothing about RAID or RAID controllers. I do have an onboard RAID controller, but it's not a full fledged hardware RAID controller. It's onboard, but doesn't have it's on proccessor like good hardware RAID would. Or that's the way I understand it. Perhaps 'hybrid' is the proper term?
I checked in BIOS and my onboard RAID controller is off.
I take it that my attempts at setting up a RAID array before are still in the MBR (on that note I use GRUB and have never used LILO)? That's the only place I can think of that any leftover RAID configurations wouldn't have been wiped during reinstalling and reformatting the drives and partitions? I've reformatted my drives completely and changed the size of swap, /, and /home on several occasions since then, as well as formatting the media-server drives to ReiserFS (not sure what FS I was using when trying to setup RAID before. Perhaps FAT32 since I was trying to dual boot).
I clicked the stop array button in Disk utility, and then all the options except start array went away. Then I clicked start, and instead of my four media-server drives being listed at the side of Dolphin there was one 1.4TB drive. I rebooted and now it's back to the 4 500GB media-server drives.
I'm worried about losing a bunch of data, so I'm hesitant to start experimenting. How should I go about getting rid of the remnants of the RAID array safely?
Also here's a screenshot of MediaServer5 from Disk Utility. The other 500GB drives have the same info minus the names and labels of course:

*** I had forgotten about dmesg output. It's quite long so instead of copying it, here's a link to it:

Thanks for advice on the matter.

ITunes accesses 'net and changes song titles. Please make it stop!

Hi,
Everytime I put in a CD, iTunes seems to access somewhere on the 'net and displays info about the CD, including stuff like "genre", blah blah blah.
But the most annoying thing is when it changes the title of a song... Recently I inserted a CD single of a pre-release from a well-known recording artist and iTunes decided to name the track "Send In The Clowns" (the actual title couldn't be further afield from this).
I really hate this "feature", want it to stop. How do I do it?

After getting your first reply, I did some quick research, and now I understand what you mean by "upload to the Gracenote database", and a few things came to mind...
(the following rant is not aimed at you, SpaceMonkey, not at all...)
First, I seem to remember that not too long ago iTunes offered a pref which let users decide whether or not they wanted iTunes to connect to the 'net. Now that pref is gone, hence my post here.
Ewwww... how slimily corporate. Take away a feature from software we've all paid for without disclosure; a feature that allows private people to decide whether or not they want to have their home enjoyment of music scanned by an anonymous corporation. Great...
Second, I'm not so sure I'd want to take even 1 millisecond out of my life to add information to this database. Not sure what the greater good is that I'd be contributing to, especially when I don't want the Gracenote "feature" to begin with. Maybe I'm just not that altruistic or something...
But to have to add info to the Gracenote database so that Gracenote won't send the wrong information back to my computer -- a feature I don't want anyway?
I think it's time for me to stop using iTunes, other than to purchase music from time to time. There are plenty of other ways for me to listen to audio on my system. It's all just too... icky... At the moment I'm taken aback at the lack of control I'm afforded while I use my computer, and how features I've paid for are taken away without notice. Great...

No net folders seen by users

Hi,
just installed Filr 1.0.1. Users are able to access their home directory correctly.
I have defined a few net folders, using a relative path containing a level-one subdirectory name of the volume. I set the appropriate (I think) access rights: first for allusers, then an explicit right for my own account.
In the Web GUI, nothing appears under Net Folders; what am I missing?
Regards,
Marc Delisle

Hi,
This is what I have learned so far. Not sure if its applicable to you or not. A lot of this is in the release notes... which are worth reading.
0. Make sure that both the Net Folder Volume's root as well as the specified Net Folder base path have an explicit RWCEMF trustee assignment for whatever proxy user you will use. The proxy user and the LDAP user can be the same provided the the LDAP user has Read rights to [Root]. He needs these rights to allow Filr to retrieve trustee account information specified on a volume which may refer to users you don't care about. I typically use the same privileged account for both the LDAP and the Net Folder Proxy. Without these rights, you can have issues.
1. Disable scheduled sync on the Net Folder Server ( or when you create a new one if applicable )
2. Create your Net Folder
3. Use the TEST button to test the connection.
4. Enable Just In Time Sync
5. Disable Scheduled Sync
6. When saving the do NOT sync when prompted.
7. Once created, go back in to the Net Folder and assign rights as desired ( typically allusers and let file system rights limit access )
Confirm proper operation:
Login as Admin --> Net Folders --> ( You should see the newly added Net Folder )
Navigate into the new Net Folder. It will take a while for Just In Time Sync to enumerate the folder contents. As users drill down, they will guide Filr through enumerating files. Initially this will cause a delay as users examine a folder for the first time. After that it gets quicker.
Once you have confirmed proper operation, then you can optionally manually Sync. This will provide guidance on how long a sync takes, allowing you to more intelligently specify a sync schedule. You can also enable indexing if needed. Indexing hundreds of GB of "stuff" can take days.
The KEY is enabling just in time sync, allowing your users to see things which Filr has not already enumerated via the manual / scheduled sync process. And enabling proper rights for the LDAP and Net Folder Proxy users.
Of course your issue may be entirely different. ;-) Please tell me if any of this helped.

[Solved] Organize the /etc/ /opt/ and /home w/o breaking anything?

+ What are the common organizing tactics that you use?
For example, if you're going to install anything, where do you put it, how do you do it with out breaking anything, etc.
My /etc/ /opt/ and /home folders are getting out of hand.
For my home folder, I have:
Desktop, Downloads, Dropbox (the only ones that I want here), meteor, node, nvm, nplay, pkg, python2-psutil, python26, src, sublime-text-2, try-meteor, packer (file), pacman.conf (file), and dead.letter (file).
How do I move these without breaking anything?
For my /etc/ I have:
adjtime (file), adobe, anacrontab (file), arch-release (file), asound.conf (file), at-spi2, avahi, bash.bash_logout (file), bash.bashrc (file), bash_completion.d, binfmt.d, bluetooth, ca-certificates, ca-certificates.conf (file), chromium, colord.conf (file), conf.d, couchdb, cron.d, cron.daily, cron.deny (file), cron.hourly, cron.monthly, cron.weekly, crypttab (file), cups, dbus-1, dconf, default, depmod.d, dhcpcd.conf (file), drirc (file), enviroment f(ile), fonts, fstab (file), fuse.conf (file), gai.conf (file), gconf, gdm, geoip, group (file), group- (file), grub.d, grub-cutomizer, gshadow (file), gshadow- (file), gssapi_mech.conf (file), gtk-2.0, gtk-3.0, host.conf (file), hostname (file), hosts (file), ifplugd, iftab (file), ImageMagick-6, inputrc (file), iproute2, iptables, issue (file), java-70openjdk, kernel, krb5.conf (file), ld.so.cache (file), ld.so.conf (file), ld.so.conf.d, libnl, libreoffice, locale.conf (file), locale.gen (file), localtime (file), localtime (file), login.defs (file), logrotate.conf (file), logrotate.d, lvm, lxdm, machine-id (file), mail.rc (file), makepkg.conf (file), man_db.conf (file), mdadm.conf (file), mercurial, mine.types (file), mke2fs.conf (file), mkinitcpio.conf (file), mkinitcpio.d, modprobe.d, modprobe.dconf (file), modules-load.d, motd (file), mtab (file), nanorc (file), netconfig (file), network.d, NetworkManager, ncsd.conf (file), nsswitch.conf (file), obex-data-server, odbc.ini (file), ODBCDataSources, odbcinst.ini (file), openldap, os-release (file), pacman.conf (file), pacman.d, pam.d, pango, passwd (file), passwd.OLD (file), passwd- (file), pcmcia, pkcs11, pkgtools, pm, polkit-1, ppp, profile (file), profile.d, protocols (file), pulse, rc.d, rc_keymaps, rc_maps.cfg (file), redis.conf (file), request-key.conf (file), request-key.d, reolv.conf (file), rpc (file), salt, securetty (file), security, services (file), shadow (file), shadow- (file), shells (file), skel, speech-dispactcher, ssl, sudoers (file), sudoers.d, sysctl.conf (file), sysctl.d, systemd, tmpfiles.d, tor, totem, udev, udisks2, updatedb.conf (file), UPower, vdpau_wrapper.cfg (file), wgetrc (file), wpa_supplicant, X11, xdg, xinetd.d, xml, and zsh.
How do I learn what can be deleted here and how do I move things without breaking anything in /etc/? Is there a program that highlights what's important, what can be moved, etc.?
For my /opt/ I have:
android-sdk, dropbox, and tor-browser-en.
This doesn't bother me, but I can see that somewhere in the future where it can get cluttered.
I also have created a folder on my root called ptmp and am using it to store my packertmp-0 files since my tmp folder gave me an error. I want to do things right and not get that cluttered too. So if you know about this check the thread out here
As a new Arch Linux user, coming from Windows 8, everything is great except a few minor annoyances. I give it an 7.8/10 for bring stable.
I will open up new threads for the following, but here are the few minor annoyances I still have:
If I edit what show up on my main menu (with main menu, not menu editor [from gnome]), somehow things get re-highlighted as if I clicked restore to defaults-- so I can't edit what I don't want to show up in my main menu anymore.
I forgot what file I edited that I made Chromium run at startup and now it slows things down by running at startup.
I couldn't exchange nautilus for dolphin (I like dophin better), and couldn't get xmonad going although I got the dependancies installed (Haskell, etc.). It throws me this error:
Please check the file for errors.
/home/jayvan/.xmonad/xmonad-x86_64-linux: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
xmonad:
xmessage: executeFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)
X Error of failed request: BadAccess (attempt to access private resource denied)
Major opcode of failed request: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
Serial number of failed request: 7
Current serial number in output stream: 8
I can't remove the Universal access applet. I don't need it. This should be removable.
There is no longer a high performance, low performance, balanced option for battery consumption. This should make a comeback.
I somehow edited my information of my user and it's not editable through system settigns. It shows my company, phone number, etc. I manually entered a command that I forgot in the terminal that did this. I'm not sure. This should be easily editable in Gnome 3. I don't know why it isn't.
I've created a news user and don't know how to delete it.
I couldn't get mp3tag to work with packer because it didn't have a PKGFILE. Will be trying to manually make it some time later, but it should be fixed in the AUR.
I would like to uninstall the Epiphany Browser. Desktop Search, Power Statistics but don't know how. I know it's -Rns.
Sublime Text 2 doesn't show up as a desktop item in the applications folder, I have to go to the folder and click sublime_text to launch it.
When I change YouTube to anything higher than 240p, it doesn't play and I have to refresh it.
Grub-sustomizer should come installed with Gnome, especially for those that want to dual boot Android OS (x86) or anyhting else. In fact, in the installation guide there should be a warning that if you plan to install another OS like Android OS (x86) you should partition an extra 16 GB as ext3, or if you want to install another Linux distro to partition an extra 20GB as ext4.
There isn't any multitouch gestures pre-installed that I can configure. I'll see if they even exist.
I haven't check but I'm not sure if there is a good screen capturing app.
Last, so I can switch all my friends to Arch, they've already taken an interest an I plan to do a blog post about it once I feel confident, how can I customize this scrip to install the apps I already have installed?
I'll get to posting these in seperate threads right now.

Ohhh man, you're making me nervous! Are you copying your files around your operating system yourself?
jjshinobi wrote:What are the common organizing tactics that you use?
The answer to your question is, I don't organize anything. Instead, pacman keeps track of all the files.
The only files you should need to worry about are what's in "/home". You can organize that however you want. If you have many ebooks, create a directory called "Books". Whatever.
Your story kind of reminds me of my roommate in college. As soon as he finished installing Windows XP, he would go through the entire directory structure and delete anything that was "unnecessary". It kind of scared me.
But fortunately, we don't have to do that with Arch Linux. Pacman takes care of everything, and it's super easy to create your own package.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

How far will the extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

How far will the airport extreme reach and how many users can be on there at the same time?

Last question first, since that is the easy one......approximately 50 (fifty) users for wireless depending on how active each user might be.
The first question is much more difficult, as distance is not really the issue with wireless.....obstructions are the issue.
A wireless signal can easily travel 300 feet or more with no obstructions in the signal path.
But, a typical wall of sheetrock or wallboard in a home will absorb....on average....15-20% of the wireless signal. Brick or adobe will obviously absorb much more. A ceiling....because it is thicker....will absorb about 25-35% of the signal.
So, if the wireless signal must pass through several walls and a ceiling, there won't be much, if any, of the signal left....even though the distance that the signal travels is not great...for example, 20-25 feet.
Other wireless networks around you at the neighbors can also affect the relative strength of the wireless signal.
The bottom line....locate the AirPort Extreme where wireless devices will receive a signal with the least amount of obstructions in the signal path. Your actual performance cannot be predicted in advance. You will not know how well the AirPort Extreme works for you until you try it out in your home.
If you find that the signal does not reach as far as needed, you will need to add additional "extenders", like an AirPort Express to provide more signal coverage.

Can't figure out how to change username, shortname and home directory?

Hello,
Trying to change the username, shortname and home directory on a new Macbook.
I tried the following article to do this:
http://www.macworld.com/article/132693/2008/03/changeshortusername.html
This is my problem after trying the above article:
I tried this but got stuck when it came to entering my password into terminal. After entering in the sudo command I hit return and saw the password prompt but when I tried to type my password in nothing happened at all as cursor never moved. I hit return again terminal tells me that there is no folder named "new user name" I restarted my Mac and tried it all over again and got the same message. When I go into the original account I see the shortname and home directory are changed but the username is the original one I started with.
How do I make the password cursor move. Have I missed something?
My Macbook if very new and I don't care what I lose on here. Thinking of doing a complete reinstall and updating all over again. Is there a way to fix this?
Help anyone?

After entering in the sudo command I hit return and saw the password prompt but when I tried to type my password in nothing happened at all as cursor never moved.
This is intentional.
I hit return again terminal tells me that there is no folder named "new user name" I restarted my Mac and tried it all over again and got the same message.
Enter the actual old and new names into the Terminal instead of 'new user name'.

All of Office 2010 Student and Home Edition Programs open as Microsoft Single Image instances since Installing Outlook 2013

Office 2010 Student and Home Edition has been running without problems on my PC since 2012. Recently installed Microsoft Outlook 2013 (The version of Office 2010 did not include Outlook), since then, every time I open any of the original Office 2010 Programs
eg XCEL, WORD, POWER POINT, ONE NOTE, the program opens in 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' which appears to have to be installed every time any of the programs are opened. The Installation process takes anything up to a few minutes to complete and sometimes
when filing or printing a document, the install restarts, on occasions, in an endless loop which requires random,imaginative keystroke action to terminate. The program shortcut icons all point to the 'Microsoft Office 2010 Single Image' application, I have
not succeeded in finding where the original programs are located as a quick way of trying to fix the problem.
The new installation of Outlook 2013 opens normally.
Evidently, the Outlook 2013 installation has disturbed the 2010 licensing or something ellse, can this unintended change be reversed?
Short of a complete Un-install + Re-Install, I have tried every straightforward repair/ change (run All on my computer)/ enter product code etc option, all to no avail.
I have read of variations on the same problem relating to mixing Office 2003/ 2007, cases of Outlook 2013 starting up in a similar way, but no examples of the specific problem outlined above. The next step
is a complete Un-install + re-install of Office 2010, is this the answer or do I need to go further? Indeed, is there a quick fix?

Hi,
The Microsoft Office Single Image 2010 is a set of tools, documentation, and product files that licensed original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can use to preload Office on new computers for distribution to end users.
I would suggest you to try the methods listed in this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2528748/en-us Just run the Fix-It tool mentioned in the page, or follow the steps to fix it by yourself.
A similar issue is discussed here, you might have a look:
