How to Prevent Pacman from asking Confirmation (Y/n) questions?

I want to put a couple pacman install commands in a ".sh" file and want it to download and install on itself. I know I can do it by:
pacman -S <package1> <package2>
But thats not what I want. I want pacman to entirely bypass the "Proceed to install?" question. Is there a way to do this?
P.S: Is this plain stupid?
"y" | pacman -S <package>

I might use the --noconfirm flag after vetting the list of upgrades available with a -Syyu which contained a larger then expect number of "application" packages - especially true with anything from the AUR... anything mission critical would get my full attention however (kernel upgrades etc).
The only other "fair use" of --noconfirm might be when doing a scripted install from a personal repo... In which case you are probably prepared to clean up the carnage and run the risk anyway

How to prevent Finder from asking permission to use Trash?

All: How can I prevent Finder from asking permission to use Trash? This wasn't a problem until two weeks ago. Now it is.
Thanks

Do not empty the Trash in the shell. That's both dangerous and unnecessary.
1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

How to prevent apps from syncing in the new version of itunes?

Hey there.
I brang my macbook to Applestore cause it had a problem and they downloaded the latest version of itunes. Everything's fine and my music, videos and apps are in the new itunes like before. But now, when I want to sync my iphone, a pop window asks me to give the password of the itunes account I used to download some of my apps or it will delete them and their data.

Heya,
how do you prevent firefox from asking to be the default browser the first time you run it.
(it's kinda annoying on a live CD lol)

Edit > Preferences etc. works by opening firefox
but in a Live CD, I'm trying to find the way to preconfigure it that way
The solution I'm thinking of is copying my .mozilla settings folder in the live CD's home folder but I was wondering if there's another way

Is there any way to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date?

Hello All,
We have a requirement to prevent users from ship confirming on a particular date. This is due to they are performing Annual Physical Inventory.
Is it possible to restrict users performing shipping transactions on this particular date?
I have tried adding exception to the existing Calendar set at org level and there is no customer specific Calendar defined, however it is still allowing me to perform ship confirm.
Please let me know if you have any suggestion on this requirement.
Thanks

Hi,
Yes is Possible.
You can add An Exception in Your Shipping Calender.
So when Some one tries to ship an Order on that date Oracle will automatically select Next possible date.
Thanks

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables ...

How to prevent Oracle from using an index when joining two tables to get an inline view which is used in an update statement?
O.K. I think I have to explain what I mean:
When joining two tables which have many entries sometimes it es better not to use an index on the column used as join criteria.
I have two tables: table A and table B.
Table A has 4.000.000 entries and table B has 700.000 entries.
I have a join of both tables with a numeric column as join criteria.
There is an index on this column in table A.
So I instead of
where (A.col = B.col)I want to use
where (A.col+0 = B.col)in order to prevent Oracle from using the index.
When I use the join in a select statement it works.
But when I use the join as inline view in an update statement I get the error ORA-01779.
When I remove the "+0" the update statement works. (The column col is unique in table B).
Any ideas why this happens?
Thank you very much in advance for any help.
Regards Hartmut

I think you should post an properly formatted explain plan output using DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY including the "Predicate Information" section below the plan to provide more details regarding your query resp. update statement. Please use the \[code\] and \[code\] tags to enhance readability of the output provided:
In SQL*Plus:
SET LINESIZE 130
EXPLAIN PLAN FOR <your statement>;
SELECT * FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY);Usually if you're using the CBO (cost based optimizer) and have reasonable statistics gathered on the database objects used the optimizer should be able to determine if it is better to use the existing index or not.
Things look different if you don't have statistics, you have outdated/wrong statistics or deliberately still use the RBO (rule based optimizer). In this case you would have to use other means to prevent the index usage, the most obvious would be the already mentioned NO_INDEX or FULL hint.
But I strongly recommend to check in first place why the optimizer apparently seems to choose an inappropriate index access path.

How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory?

Hello guys
I'd like to know How to prevent users from creating new folders in share folder directory but still keep their power of creating new folders in their personal 'my folder'?
I tried changing the 'manage privilage ---- create folder' to deny certain user accounts, but by doing so, it also stops the user from creating new folders in their 'my folder', which is not good..
I also tried going into these share folders and tried different access types such as 'change/delete', 'read', 'traverse folder' etc, but none of it work ideally. The 'change/delete' access still allows them to create new folders, 'read' access prevents creating new folders but also take away their power of saving reports..
Any thoughts on how to take away their ability to ONLY create new folders in share folder areas without affecting their other privileges?
Please advise
Thank you

Easy, on the shared folders root folder only give them 'read' or 'traverse folder' but on the the folder inside the shared folders root folder give them 'change/delete'. That means they can change anything inside those folders but not create any folders at the shared folders root level.

How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components?

Hello group,
We have customized a form that pops up when user enters a parent item (of a template-type BOM) in the quotation grid. The form displays the component items and lets the user mark which items to "paste" onto the quotation. However, B1 automatically populates the grid with the component items once focus moves away from the item code column.
<b>How to prevent B1 from populating the grid with components <i>while</i> retaining the parent item in the item code column?</b> I've tried trapping the Validate event, etc. with no success.

Instead of setting the parent item up as a template type BOM, you could set up the list of parent/child items on a user table and use this user table to display the items in your pop-up screen. As the parent item would no longer be a template BOM, Business One would no longer automatically popuplate the grid, and you could write your own code to add only the items selected in your pop-up screen into the grid.

How 2 prevent time from changing on leopard and vista?

if i maintain successive boots into the same OS on my macbook, the time is shown correctly, whereas on booting into another OS changes the time. how to prevent this from happening?
Neerav

From what my brother says says about his set-up (he boots into 64 bit Vista periodically), apparently you can't. My understanding is that the two systems do a different version of time at boot, Vista uses a GMT setting in bios, and I think Mac use a local time in EFI. Anyway, the result is several hours difference between the two. I don't use Boot Camp, but I would think if you are on a network with Internet access, you should be able to have the clock reset automatically using System Prefs->Date and Time, and check the box at the top to automatically set the time from the Apple time server.

How to stop Mac from asking to "upgrade" to Mavericks

I have a shared MacBook Pro that has to stay in Mountain Lion for certain software to work. Others in my family use this computer on different users.
How to stop Mavericks from asking to install itself? No matter how many times I control click on the Mavericks item in the app store, it keeps coming back and asking.
Recently, someone accidentally clicked on update and it downloaded the whole thing. Fortunately, they got off before it asked to restart. When I clicked "cancel" I went to the Applications folder and deleted the "Install OS X Mavericks" app.
Please help. I don't want to EVER again have any user on this Mac be persuaded to "upgrade" (which shadily does not say "upgrade to Mavericks).
Other users need to install apps, so suggesting I limit their administrative access will not help.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, that didn't work. (and I forgot to list it in my original question). I had tried "Ignore" several times and all that happens is, literally nothing). The Mac ignores the CD and so does Virtual PC.
I've also tried going into Virtual PC preferences, looking for anything relating to CD's and can't find anything there. I've even tried sharing drives between the programs, copying things to the shared drive, and burning to CD on the Mac, but this particular issue can't be resolved that way.
The specific file I'm trying to burn with Virtual PC is a Midi File downloaded from Yamaha Musicsoft, to play on my player piano. Yamaha has a download program that "exports" files to floppy disk but it's not Mac compatible. So I'm using Virtual PC and attempting to export the file via the Yamaha downloader, either to a floppy disk image or a CD image, and neither is working as the downloader doesn't recognize the CD and won't recognize a virtual floppy either.

Digital Signatures - how to prevent anyone from using my name

I've created a bunch of forms that have digital signatures enabled. When I've created one either with the PKCS or the Windows Certificate, what's to prevent anyone else from just typing my name, email address and Company Name? Yes, I can create one and save it with a password, but anyone can do that. I'm confused how I can ask our users to use digital signatures on internal documents, then have them email to accounting or HR, yet there's nothing to prevent anyone from using anyone else's name (ie how can I prove that it wasn't me that signed it)?
Is there nothing that's tied to Windows ie I can't use my login ID on our domain unless I use my network password? That's really the ONLY way I can prove I'm me.

Self-signed digital signatures are precisely that - the person creating them is the only one attesting to the contents, so you can make a perfectly-valid self-signed ID for Canta Claus of you want to. The critical thing to remember is that a self-signed ID will only validate if the recipient has your keyfile to compare it to. On your own machine it will show as valid because the key is present, but if you send the PDF to anyone else it will show as invalid unless you have separately transferred them a copy of your keyfile. It's that second file which tells them the ID is really yours, as they can physically check where it came from (e.g. by phoning you up). The recipient would then have to manually add the keyfile to the trusted list in Acrobat or Adobe Reader, and finally your PDF signature will get the green tick.
Self-signed IDs are find for internal company workflows as everyone can share their keyfiles, and the IT department can manage what's going on. If you're using digital IDs in a public setting you should never use self-signed certificates, instead you should purchase an ID from a Certificate Authority - a company whose IDs are tied to the 'root certificates' embedded in Acrobat and Adobe Reader. The CA will require proof of identity before selling you the cert, and so anyone can verify it's genuine without needing to contact you. CAS-issued certs for signing PDF files are not cheap, there are several vendors out there and I won't comment on which may be better.

How do prevent firefox from loading(going to) a website(following a link, etc...) that i never want to see again(example: choose now & click on some link in the future)?

I go to a website(link, etc...) & I never want to go there again, but sometime(anytime) later I come across some page that seems to be useful. I click on a link, and the other required links until I find that it is a waste of time & I then kind of remember having been there in the past & have wasted all this time again. This happening for many different sites over time.
How do I prevent firefox from loading(going to) all websites that I choose to go to when I have in the(distant) past decided that I never wish to return to: block websites with message saying that I blocked it?

Hello Cen.
You need to find an extension that blocks certain sites. I am certain there are many. Search over at [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].
I hope you find it.
