How to get xfce-notifyd to display Thinkpad T40 volume and brightness
I'm running XFCE 4.8 on a Thinkpad T40. The volume and brightness buttons are wired directly to the hardware, and I can also view the current level of the volume and brightness in /proc/acpi/ibm/.
cat /proc/acpi/ibm/volume returns something like:
level: 1
mute: off
and cat /proc/acpi/ibm/britghtness has something like:
level: 7
commands: up, down
commands: level <level> (<level> is 0-7)
The "level" numbers change appropriately. In XFCE I know that notifications are working properly by testing it via the Settings panel and doing a notify-send test. How do I link the notifications to the volume and brightness to get their respective notifications to appear?
Thanks very much!
OK, here's how the volume bar works in all Media Center (2004-2005) and how to change it :
Create a .txt file with the following :
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Media Center\VolumeDisplay]
"Disable"=dword:00000000
"FontSize"=dword:00000024
"Color"=dword:00ffffff
"Timeout"=dword:000003e8
Don't include the --------
Now here are what the settings do:
Disable: (enable or disable the volume bar)
- 00000000 (bar is shown)
- 00000001 (bar is hidden)
FontSize: (decide the font sized used to display the word "volume")
- 00000024 is font size 36 (it's hexadecimal value), for exemple 00000014 is fontsize 20, etc..
Color: (the color of the control bar and of the word "volume")
00ffffff corresponds to white, 00000000 corresponds to black. also hexadecimal.
If you want an easy way to find out, just check the color you want in HTML:
If HTML is #00AAFF for exemple, then you need to put value 00FFAA00, or for HTML #556677, the value will be 00776655
Timeout: (it represent the duration of displaying the volume bar)
000003e8 corrsponds to 1000 ms = 1 seconde. For exemple, 1,5 second is 000005dc, or 2 second is 000007d0
So replace accordingly the above with the value that you like, save as "bar.reg" then double click on it and reboot the PC!
Enjoy, it was quite a hassle to find those keys because they don't exist initially! (and because for each try, I must reboot.. :/ )
Later,
Alcahest
ps: it works on ALL Qosmio machines ;)

How to get my images always order by arquive name, and not by time of captur, in all the folders in the library?
Sorry for the poor english, but im portugues.
In the library we can change the order of classification of image by, time of capture, name of file etc... I'm wondering if its possible define to be always by the name of file.
It ´s possible?
And i have other question, in print label we have an option to auto rotate to feet in page to have the image using the maximum area in the page (auto rotate, zoom etc), its possible to change the orientation of the rotation to be always in the other direction?The Muvos are USB Mass Storage devices and do not have the ability to display track information based upon ID3 tags.
The Zens all read and display track info based upon ID3 tag information that is either gathered from an online source or entered by the end-user.
If you want the track information displayed instead of the ID3 tag information, you could edit the ID3 tags and rename the title to whatever you have as the file name. Not sure why your file names would differ so much from the ID3 tag info though, almost all of my content has the same name for the filename as it does on the ID3 tag title. -

i accidentally deleted my iMovie off my mac, anyone know how to get it back because it came for free and is now 15 dollars to buy back??? pls help
If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in. -

singal requency.vi 104 KBHello Yun_Zhu,
Your VI looks like you started from an example, and you are on the right track.
To clarify are you trying to synchronize the input and the output waveforms? If you you will need to share a time base and a start trigger. Check out the synchronization examples from LabVIEW

How do I remove the on-screen volume and brightness displays?
The on screen displays for volume and brightness controls on my ProBook 455 really lag behind pressing the buttons and aren't terribly helpful anyway. Can I remove them? I've seen people ask in the past and they are told about something called an "HP On Screen Display" or a "MediaSmart Menu." But my notebook doesn't have either. Does someone know another name for the thing I need to remove in order to get rid of this useless display?
Thanks.SSetting- mail, contact and calendar- show in app switcher -off

have an ipod and then got the wife an iphone4. all passwords are screwed up. she can not access playstore cuz she doesn't have password. i can not get find any help on how to get or update a password for the ipod. and then get her a separate password for her iphone. we need to save her photos, music, etc to ? icloud and the phone stuff to verizon cloud? so when she gets her new Iphone6 she can have all her "stuff" back on the new phone. hope this makes sense. please offer suggestions here or at [email protected] thanks for your help!
Oh no! I'm sorry to see there's a lot of confusion here and data shared, x-rayDon. We can definitely work to fix. This happens when two devices share the same Apple ID, so she will need to reset hers. She can do so by assessing this link Apple - My Apple ID. You will need to decide who will keep the account if want separate Apple IDs since purchases cannot be shared unless you do Family Sharing.

IBM Thinkpad T40 volume applet???
I have bought an old Thinkpad T40 recently and managed to install Arch and XFCE4 successfully.
Now I'm trying to get everything working.
My question is about volume applet (or maybe it has an other name?).
Initially I ran Ubuntu live CD on it and noticed nice window popping up (at the bottom of screen), when I pressed the volume buttons on keyboard.
Can I get something similar in Arch (XFCE4)?
Volume buttons work - they just visually don't change anything.
Thanks in advance,
ZigThank you!
Tpb does the trick.
But I still have one question.
There is a Archwiki entry Thinkpad OSD which says:
~/.kde/Autostart/tpb-startup.sh:
# Start Thinkpad OSD daemon
if [ -x /usr/bin/tpb ] && [ -w /dev/nvram ] && [ -r /dev/nvram ]; then
/usr/bin/tpb -d
fi
I'm Gnome user and can start /usr/bin/tpb -d from console, but it seems doesn't work when I add it to auto started applications.
What could be wrong in this case?
Thanks,
Zig
