How do I wake up Dell Inspiron 6400 after closing the lid? [SOLVED]

I'm running Arch on a Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop (same as Inspiron e1505). When I close the top to an angle of less than about 30 degrees, the machine goes into some kind of sleep state and Arch is suspended (black screen, no response to anything). It may be easy to wake up Windows from such a condition but what must I do get Arch back and working, short of having to reboot?

RobF, it's hard to say, without knowing what your setup is... GNOME, KDE? Any power management software installed such as Powersaved or hibernation scripts?
If you're still having troubles with it, check out the Inspiron 6400 wiki I've been working on. It includes step-by-step instructions on setting up hibernation/suspend features and I can verify it works on my own 6400.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dell_Inspiron_6400
I'm using KDE, and I haven't specifically installed any power management software aside from what came with the Arch base install and KDE.
I went through your Dell Inspiron 6400 Wiki (great work! I'll add to it) and installed acpid and powersave and hoped to install kpowersave or kpowersave-devel but neither of these will compile. kpowersave requires unsermake-svn but unsermake-svn will not compile because of the error: "unsermake-svn is not available for the 'i686' architecture," and: "Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('i686')." So much about that.
Trying to build the package kpowersave-devel also aborts with the error:
Checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2 and < 4.0) (headers an ..... r installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
==> ERROR: Build Failed. Aborting...
So much about that.
About kpowersave-devel, srabd commented a month ago: "It doesn't compile now, but compiles if you use unsermake instead of make in the two final lines." Wonderful! But as I reported above, "unsermake-svn is not available for the 'i686' architecture."
I seem to be stuck. Any ideas how I can get around this?

How to Direct control to application's window after closing the popup?

Hi,
I am using 10.1.3. In my application I am unable to direct control to application's window after closing the popup, if I open any other window at the same time.
For more info see the below step:-
-> Open any popup in my application.
-> Open any new window (lets say Google.com).
-> Now restore popup on Google window.
-> Now close popup
          - control goes to Google window but not the parent application window.
How to direct control to the parent window?
Can anybody help me regarding this?
Thanx...Abhijit

Hi Abhijit,
You can do this using Javascript alone. Below are the two sample files I created.
main.html_
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing popup</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function openPopup() {
    window.open("popup.html");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<a hr_ef="javascript:openPopup()">Open popup</a>
<input id="something" name="something" type="text" value="something">
</body>
</html>
Note: hr_ef should be href. The code tags are messing with the link.
popup.html_
<html>
<head>
<title>This is the popup window</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToMain() {
    window.opener.something.focus();
</script>
</head>
<body onunload="goToMain()">
This is the popup window. Close this window to return to main window.
</body>
</html>The idea is to call a javascript function in the popup window that tries to focus on an object (eg. InputText) in the main html.
Although, one point to take note is the naming of html objects by by these ADF UI Components. If you named your form id as "*form1*" and input text id as "*something*", your input text id will end up as "*form1:something*".
Therefore, you will have to tweak the code above to the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function goToMain() {
window.opener.form1['form1:something'].focus();
</script>Regards,

Slow wake after closing the lid

Hi there everybody.
My macbookpro has a very slow wake up after I close-open the lid with enough battery to continue working. It shows the “washed” screen in the background and the progressive bar of light squares in the front, as when the computer rans out of battery and you replug it a demand it to rewake from NObattery sleep.
I'd really appreciate your comments on this problem.
Here's a report from etrecheck so you can have details to help me figure out what's going on:

Windows can't wake up after closing the lid of a MBP?

My Windows XP can't wake up after I close the lid of my MBP. When I open the lid, the screen is black and the latch light is out.

I cannot solve your problem but I did have the same problem which has now evolved into my computer NEVER going to sleep and my bluetooth does not work I have tried all the advice I can find and nothing works. Of course my waranty expired four months ago so now I will have to come up with the money to fix it if I want this resovled. If your warenty is still good I suggest having someone look at it before it evloves into a bigger problem.

[Solved]No Ethernet or Wireless to work on Dell Inspiron 6400 E1505.

The Dell Inspiron 6400 E1505 wiki says ethernet should work out of box. It is not. I am trying to install wireless drivers. I checked fw-cutter during installation but i guess i have to install broadcom-wl along with it. Make command is not found (probably not installed) How can get ethernet connection to work?
Thanks.

Ipod to Dell Inspiron 6400 problems

Hello
I am trying to connect my 4th gen Ipod to my new Dell Inspiron 6400 laptop and connecting it just makes the pc become very slow. If i wait long enough (an hour or so) it'll come up with Itunes which says the ipod needs formatting, but then crashes as it loads the ipod updater. The Ipod will still work with my old desktop but i want to transfer it to the laptop.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I spoke with Dell and they said i needed to get a fix from Apple, but i can't seem to find anything on the website.
Any help would be appreciated

How can i unlock my dell laptop if i forgot the administrator password?

Dear Sir,
I forgot my dell laptop administrator password and locked out of the laptop, now i have to use my laptop to finish the home work, how can i unlock my dell laptop if i forgot
the administrator password?
Thanks in advance!

Forgot dell laptop administrator password? It would be very frustrated if you are urgent to use the laptop but locked out of it.
Here are the methods
how to unlock dell laptop forgot password. I hope it will be helpful for you.
Method 1: Reset password on your dell laptop with password reset disk
This method only works when you have
created a password reset disk before you forgot password.
<1>. On your dell laptop logon screen, press
Enter directory, and then a password incorrect hint pups up, click on
OK to close it.
<2>. Click
Reset password… bellow the password text box.
<3>. When the password reset wizard appears, click
Next.
<4>. Insert the password reset disk, click
Next.
<5>. Type in
new password, and the new password hint, click
Next, click Finish.
<6>. Then you can login with the new password.
Method 2: Unlock your laptop password with Offline NT Password and Registry Editor
If you have not created a password reset disk before, you can create a live cd or bootable usb with Offline NT Password Registry Editor which is a freeware program. It is base on the text console, so it
may be a difficult to carry out.
Here are the main steps to use Offline NT password registry editor:
<1>.
Get Offline NT Password Registry Editor and use it to create a live cd or bootable usb.
<2>.
Set your dell laptop to boot with the cd or usb.
<3>. Follow the instruction to finish the operation when the password reset program starts.

I have customized my Firefox toolbar several times. After closing the browser and then reopening it, the toolbar has returned to the way it was before I customized it each time. How do I get my customization of the toolbar to become permanent?
It has occurred with Firefox 4.0.1 and 5.0

see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
Take a picture of your toolbars so you can easily reconstruct them from the default after solving the the problem.
If it happens to you it will probably happen again in the future so you might want to keep some copies of your modified localstore.rdf file so you can delete the bad one and rename one of the replacements in waiting. Saving, copying and renaming must be done with Firefox down, of course.
