I think I made a boo boo, I updated xorg and some others...

And they broke KDE...in some sort of strange and bizarre way, KDE still works. Yet...I have no applications, I cannot open a single KDE specific application, such as the KMenu, or the Control Center.
I should've stayed with the original version, I basically bypassed the dependency warning, and then...I have no KMenu.
This might not help, but I also installed Epiphany and Wget, actually upgraded.
Just so you know, I can't even GET IN Menu Editor, and there isn't a single problem in the KMenu, might I reiterate.
Good news is, I can still use the terminal, which I have conviently located near the Window Pager.

Hi Blizzard Wolf.
The simplest near-term solution is to replace xorg by xfree86 and wait for a reliable update of xorg.
Do the following:
1. Go to a console (Ctrl-Alt-F1, for example).
2. Log in as root.
3. Shut down X11 by typing: init 3
4. Replace xorg by xfree86: pacman -S xfree86
5. Create the configuration file /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 (I like to use 'hwd' for this, which creates /etc/X11/XF86Config-4.hwd which you can copy or rename; you can install hwd using pacman).
6. Restart the X server: init 5
7. Log into KDE and perform any needed configuration clean up.
Regards,
Win

  • Text in forms and some other websites show up in a foreign language, I think it is cantonese. How do i revert back to normal?

    Form data shows up in a foreign language and im not quite sure how to change it back.

    This issue can be caused by an old bitmap version of the Helvetica or Geneva font or (bitmap) fonts that Firefox can't display in that size.
    Firefox can't display some old bitmap fonts in a larger size and displays gibberish instead.
    You can test that by zooming out (View > Zoom > Zoom Out, Ctrl -) to make the text smaller.
    Uninstall (remove) all variants of that not working font to make Firefox use another font or see if you can find a True type version that doesn't show the problem.

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Also its A Macbook Pro 2008 15 inch glossy with 2GB of Ram the serial number is worn off what kind OS do I need?

    Wondering if there was a way to purchase them from Apple
    Yes. Contact Apple Support using one of the options in the Contact Us below. You will need your MBP's serial number and payment method for a nominal fee. If the exterior serial number is illegible look elsewhere for it: MacBook Pro: How to find the serial number
    or if I buy them off ebay will they work?
    Probably not. Grey discs are system-specific and will work only for the exact model MBP with which they shipped. It's likely that Apple will charge you less money, and it will be guaranteed to work.

    My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now.  About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

  • Idk why i made my password complicated, but i did and now i cant unlock it! help!

    Well, i had a fit and decided to change my code from simple to complicated. Being that i was mad, i just put a long, emphasizing long, passcode, but when i cooled down i didnt remember what it was! I tried at least 6 tmes to unlock it while it was still locked.. i failed miserably, but luckily, i had it unlocked (at the time). So, i changed it from auto lock 1 min to autolock never. Stupid of me to think that that would solve anything.. So im reading catching fire, and i click the top button, force of habbit, and put it in my pocket so i can get a drink of juice. i sit down to open my phone and continue reading and it tells me its locked! I tried every password i could think of! I've been trying to figure this out for at least 6 hours! i dont want to restore it because its going to take away all my text messages and i have over 30, 13 before i locked the stupid phone and the rest after! Besides, if i restore it, i'll lose my page in my book, and i totally dont wanna do that since its such a hassle to skip continuously page by page until i find where i was at. what about my contacts? i get new ones all the time and i would hate to lose them all! do you think, maybe.. possibly.. theres anyway that apple can tell me my passcode? My phone is registered to my account and its on this computer, do you think that they could possibly understand my stupid mistake and unlock it for me? not to mention the music and the apps! Oh gosh, i have a headache just thinking about the apps and the music! just ugh! i really hope that they can.. i've been using siri to call people and text people for me, but she wont read the book to me! its painful to hear all those text messages coming through but not being able to see one! When i ask siri to please read my unread text messages, she says i have NONE! maybe she says it just to protect my privacy, but i dont care! Now i'm thinking i shouldnt have changed it so i wouldnt be able to see the banner for my text! At least i couldve read them and replied! Gosh, my life *****.. Sigh..

    ... do you think, maybe.. possibly.. theres anyway that apple can tell me my passcode?
    No. They don't know it. Siri knows but she is sworn to secrecy.
    If you synced your phone with iTunes you will only have lost whatever you did since. Your apps are fine.
    If you cannot remember its passcode you will need to restore the iPhone using the computer with which it was last synced. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the computer, or restore the device from a backup.
    Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

    guess what it says java file. So yes i'm sure. Sarcasm. Not the best way to encourage a total stranger to help you. Then there's
    Sorry if i wasn't more clear but was that response needed?No it wasn't needed, but I'm not the one asking for help so I have the luxury of not worrying too much about it. It's extremely frustrating trying to drag relevant information out of someone, and makes one less inclined to bother.
    Anyways, there's still nothing in this thread that actually explicitly says "there is a file called VolcanoApp.java in the directory where I'm running javac from" and I really can't be bothered banging my head against the wall any longer. You've made a silly mistake, or a false assumption. We all do it from time to time. My advice is, take a break, go for a walk and re-visit this in a while. You'll probably spot the mistake right away.

  • The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook

    Hi
    We have 2 separate Exchange 2013 organisations in Our Company. All mail comes in on the first server registered With domain1.com and if it is mail Connected to the second server it is forwarded to server 2 which is registered With domain2.com.
    When the users Connected to server 2 sends out mail they have default mail address firstname.lastnameATdomain1.com  so the default address policy points to an email address registered on server 1. We have added a GPO for the domain2 users so that
    Autodiscovery updates with the right domain name.
    The problem is that every time a user With Outlook 2013 starts Outlook he gets an error saying "The Exchange administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart outlook". This Message shows about every 10 minutes in Outlook. I think
    this has to do With the autodiscover settings, but I'm not sure.
    Any Idea how to remove this Message?
    Regards
    Anders

  • I made a design in photoshop cs 5 and i wanted to print on vinyl, how it would possible using CorelDRAW?

    I made a design in photoshop cs 5 and i wanted to print on vinyl/ Guy who is with printing department said that we need CorelDRAW file and
    I think it support vector, so how it can be possible to Print my file on Vinyl Using CorelDRAW? and also CorelDRAW fully supported to CMYK Color Mode...
    Guys, is there any Solution ?

    First make sure what you create in photoshop is already vector. The plotter knife can not use images (raster).
    This gives you a few options some of which requires illustrator or corel draw.
    Illustrator and corel draw can auto trace raster images
    Illustrator can save files as corel draw
    Corel draw can read illustrator files
    In both cases The newest version wins since the older version would not know about the newer version (illustrator vs corel draw)
    Photoshop can export illustrator paths (The illustrator file needs to be edited in illustrator or corel draw as the paths do not have a stroke or fill)
    photoshop can export a vector pdf (assuming everything in the file is vector)
    Both illustrator and corel draw can read and write pdf files.
    If your design is raster you might be able to use the pen tool and manually trace the image in photoshop, illustrator or corel draw. (depending on the complexity of the image.)

  • IMac just mad a loud crackle, very loud snap and then out

    I think I'm screwed. My iMac just mad a crackle sound followed by a loud snap and then it went black out our. My spike bar is still running and so are the other computers, etc. that are plugged into it.
    I have an external Hard drive attached and it shut down too.
    Anyone have any thoughts?
    Thanks, Tom

    Hey Big,
    I know what you said about investing in a 9 year old g3 but this is more of a hobby for me right now. I plan on maybe giving it to my son so he can browse the internet with it.
    I've got my two kids on a 400 and a 600 iMac respectively. They're 8 and 9 and spend a lot of time on the Internet.
    That being said i hooked up my ethernet cord to it and for the life of me i can not figure out how to get online in os9.
    And you also said something about updating the firmware, how do i check the firm ware and if i do need to update it?
    Look under the Apple > system profiler > production information. It should reat 4.1.9 f1 if it reads something like 3.0 something it needs to be up dated.
    Do i need a internet conection to update the firmware?
    It would help it's not necessary but can be a pain without it. I have a burned CD with the updater on it since I work with so many iMacs.
    Look here:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106877
    And do i need to start new questions for these?
    It would allow more people to see your post. Often things posted at the bottom of a "solved" post will get ignored.
    I was also looking at HD on ebay
    Hard Drive??
    and some had osx already installed. Is that a good idea and if yes how do i know if my machine will run the version i get?
    You wouldn't. These iMacs will run on 10.4.11 with enough RAM installed. At least 512.
    I'd look for a Panther installer or a Tiger but they will have to be on CD since that's what your iMac came with.

  • I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks it asks for the old account's password(which my ex changed by now)

    I used to share one apple ID/account with my ex but made a new one for myself recently and logged out of the old one but when I try to update my iBooks (only happens with this app)it asks for the other account's password(which my ex changed by now). I don't understand why this happens when I'm logged into my account and it only happens with that app. Please help, I need to update. :/

    Content (apps, music, ibooks, films etc) is tied to the account that originally downloaded it, so if the iBooks app was downloaded using the account that you used to share with your ex then only that account can download updates to it. As it's a free app you could delete it and re-download it under your own account - and then re-download your ibooks into it (or copy the books to your computer's iTunes first via File > Transfer Purchases and then sync them back to the app).

  • "The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook" in Exchange 2013

    In Exchange 2013, Outlook finds a new connection point made up of the user’s mailbox GUID + @ + the domain portion of the user’s primary SMTP address. This change makes
    it much less likely that users will see the dreaded message “Your administrator has made a change to your mailbox.”
    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd298114(v=exchg.150).aspx
    Although the error message in the topic has been already improved a lot in Exchange 2013, the users may still encounter them in some specific scenarios. We have collected them and let’s discuss them in this thread.
    Symptom
    =======================================
    Consider the following scenario:
    Exchange 2013 was installed for a migration from Exchange 2007/2010.
    The legacy Exchange server is removed after successful migration.
    Exchange 2013 may be updated to Exchange 2013 SP1.
    Some users were being randomly prompted with a popup in their outlook client with the following message when connecting with Exchange 2013 server:
    “The Microsoft Exchange Administrator has made a change that requires you quit and restart Outlook”
    Cause
    =======================================
    The issue may be caused due to Public Folders.
    The msExchHomePublicMDB attribute on Exchange 2013 databases was set to deleted legacy public folder object.
    Solution
    =======================================
    Removed the Public Folder from all the Exchange
    2013 Databases. To do it, we can use ADSIedit.msc and remove the arrtibute - msExchHomePublicMDB from all the Databases:
    1. Open ADSIEdit.
    2. Connect to the Configuration container.3.
    Expand Configuration, expand CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=com.4. Expand CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN=Domain -> CN=Administrative Groups -> CN=Exchange
    Administrative Group -> CN=Databases.5. In the right hand pane you will see a list of databases.6.
    Right-click the listed database object -> Properties.7. Check whether the msExchHomePublicMDB value is set to an unavailable value. If you see reference to the old database,
    please clear the value.8. Click OK.9. Check the rest of the databases to make sure
    that they are not populated in the same way.

    You should never try to charge or turn on a wet electronic device.
    You should let it dry for  a week or so, then try.
