Interesting bug of the gnome or of compiz?

I disabled the desktop (gconf-editor =>> apps->nautilus->preferences and unselect the show_desktop ) so that I can have different wallpapers on the edges of the cube. When I click the desktop to move the cube, sometimes it doesn't work. Most of the time it does, but then sometimes it doesn't, so I have to use ctrl-alt-left or -right to switch sides. If i click to panel to move the cube it works again. Its a quet interesting problem. Anybody knows how to fix it?
Sorry if you don't understand something. In this case just ask .

I'm still trying to figure out where is the problem, but without succes, its a very weird problem, but i think its something with the wallpaper plugin. I'm a beginner so in that reason i posted this problem, if somebody met with this problem before. I think its an internal plugin conflict, between cube rotation and wallpaper plugins, but this just an opinion.

Wallpaper behind gnome-panel using compiz

When I use compiz to set the wallpaper for me, I have 6 different wallpapers for my 6 'desktops'. I only have a transparent gnome-panel at the top. Problem is, the wallpaper of the first desktop will show on all the other desktops through the panel, and not the wallpaper that was assigned. Is this a common fault?

The transparency of the gnome-panel is 'fake', in that it actually paints the desktop (done by Gnome without knowledge of Compiz). If you really want a transparent part of the panel, try using the greenscreen plugin for compiz (I think its not developed anymore, and it barely made beta, but its the only thing of its type), google for it. I found it easier in the end to just auto-hide the panel and rely on some alternative like cairo-dock.
EDIT: Because I'm a nice person, and because I wanted to try it out myself, [url=http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29209]here's the AUR package for the greenscreen plugin. It works on my system, going to try some interesting conkies with it soon.

A BUG in the KPRB JDBC driver

Hi community,
the problem I would like to present here seems to be a BUG in the KPRB (server-side) JDBC driver. To be precise, I am going to outline the platform I found the problem occurs (I haven't made any tests with the others yet). These are Oracle 8.1.6-8.1.7.4 databases.
What I am trying to do is to write a Java Stored Procedure and return a nested table from it. Nothing easier than that!? The important aspect is I cannot (shouldn't) hardcode schema name in the call to the oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor() method since the Stored Procedure and the accompanied nested table (SQL) type can be loaded into arbitrary schema. Thus, my code looks like:
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:default:connection:");
ArrayDescriptor arrDesc = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("NESTED_TABLE_TYPE_NAME",con);
You can note, NESTED_TABLE_TYPE_NAME is the nested table type I create in the same schema the Stored Procedure is loaded. What wrong with it? Actually, it works perfectly fine if You call the Stored Procedure being logged as the owner of the Procedure. The problem occurs if You grant the execute rights to other users and try to call it being logged as one of them. What happens is Oracle doesn't find the nested table type and throws an exception.
Does it mean such behavior implies a BUG? Oracle reference states that if either the PL/SQL wrapper for the Java Stored Procedure or the class itself are marked as having DEFINER privileges the call proceeds in the schema of the definer, not the caller. Actually, I tried to declare the PL/SQL wrapper as well as the class having DEFINER privileges and none of them succeded.
Then I made some investigations, and found in the Thin JDBC driver the ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor method uses the oracle.sql.SQLName class, which in turn calls the oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection.getUserName() method to obtain the missing schema name, and the latter performs select:
SELECT USER FROM DUAL
Obviously, the above returns current user, and not the current schema in the case DEFINER privileges were applied. I understand, the Thin JDBC driver is different from the KPRB driver but!!! I also monitor Library Cache (through v$sql dynamical view) while calling the Stored Procedure and what I see is very interesting ;-) The number of executions for the "SELECT USER FROM DUAL" statement increases!!!
That is why I claim the above behavior is a BUG of the KPRB driver.
Regards,
Roman Zahorbenski

Hi Avi,
Because you didn't grant access permission to other users on the NESTED_TABLE_TYPE_NAME (maybe?)Of course, I remember to grant (EXECUTE) privilege on the nested table type to other users. The reason are not synonyms also, for Oracle doesn't allow to access these types through synonyms, unfortunately.
And the applications can be tons ;-), I use it to implement regular expression functionality in the databases prior to 9i.
Regards,
Roman

How to install and use the Gnome-DO application in oracle enterprise Linux

My Oracle Enterprise linux is 5.3,
I want to install and use the Gnome-Do(http://do.davebsd.com) in my box.
Please help me regarding this.
With Regards
DSK

According to Google, Gnome-Do has known issues about CPU bugs and hogs and the latest incarnation does not seem to be available for RHEL and clones. You should have more luck with Linux Desktop distributions like Fedora and Ubuntu. Or you could try to build from source using the info at: http://do.davebsd.com/wiki/Installing_Do. Good luck - I wouldn't bother.

Word 2011 for Mac Book pro - I have found that my cursor disappears sometimes when I click on a toolbar function. I found out it is a bug, that the Mac loses 'focus'. I can correct it temporarily by clicking on Format - Font - Cancel. Any info?

I have Word 2011 on a Mac Book Pro and have had problems with a dissapearing cursor - it makes editing tricky
After googling it I found out that there is a bug where the Mac loses focus if you click away from the document - it also does this with italics according to other users.
I had a play with it and found out that when I click on the toolbar in a document where this happens, the cursor disappears, e.g. changing font colour etc. And then, when I click on Format - Font - Cancel it returns
I'd be interested if anyone else has a comment to add, please do
thanks

BTW (speaking as a Dad of 3 daughters in Grad school) if you don't already have and use a DropBox account, or some other similar online "cloud" based backup of your school documents, you should start doing so immediately. By keeping all of your important documents in the Dropbox folder on your computer, you have instant access to them from any other computer (or iPad), should you be w/o your computer while in for repairs (or if, God forbid, it is stolen). It's free for 2 GB of online storage, which is more than enough for a few years worth of Word documents, etc. (If you get other people to sign up via your email "invitation", then Dropbox gives you even more free storage space.) Every time you close a document, it is updated on the Dropbox servers (encrypted), if it is in the Dropbox folder (assuming you give it a few seconds to update before turning off your computer). Do a google search of "Cloud based storage comparisons" to compare the amount of free space each of the competing services give you.

A bug in the sound system?

Hello there
I found a funny thing in the iPod functionality of my iPhone 3GS with software 3.0.1.
I synced a movie, I converted myself with ffmpeg (ffmepg rulez!!!) to the iPhone. The converted movie played well in QuickTime nad VLC on my iMac, but if I play it on my iPhone, there is no sound. Strangely enough, not only the movie has no sound, but after playing that movie, no sounds are played in the iPod application anymore at all. No MP3s, no podcasts, no videocasts, nothing. Even the ringtone is totally silent. The tone for text messages, emails, calendar events, key-click, lock sounds and sound from other apps (like games) play well. But no iPod, and no ringtone.
To solve this problem, I had to restart the iPhone (hold power button until the red slider appears, and switch back on) with the headphones connected.
I don't know, if this happens with 3.0.
The behaviour is reproducible, just play the "buggy" video.
If anyone is interested for what reasons ever, I can post the ffmpeg params I used to convert the video.
Funny thing, I'd be glad if Apple could fix this.
And I for myself will start looking for more suitable encoding parameters for my videos.
Regards
matfi

Hi, I don't play videos on my iPhone, but i also thing there is something wrong with the sound... Some times it just disappear, when i receive phone call I see on the screen that someone is calling, but no sound. The same happened with the alarm clock. I was awake already and look to see what time is it, it had the message ALARM, but no sound at all...
After restarting it seems to be ok for few days. Is it possible to be from overheating ( I have a silicon case ) ? Or is it a normal bug in the phone itself?
I will appreciate any responses
Thank you

EasyDMS development - Bug in the ICustomSearchPageAddin?

Customer has need for special search page for the documents in the EasyDMS. I checked the Addin interface and found the ICustomSearchPageAddin and ICustomSearchPage interfaces. After some trying I got new nice new custom made tab in the search. What I did was little bit of tweaking of the property page example in the Wiki. Basically I did this:
STDMETHODIMP CSearchAddin::raw_CreatePage(
     long     pageIndex,
     long     hWnd,
     struct IEasyDmsApplication * pEasyDms,
     struct ICustomSearchPage **poData,
     VARIANT_BOOL * pPageAvailable )
     AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
     CWnd * parent = CWnd::FromHandle((HWND)hWnd); // Get the parent window from handle
     if(!pEasyDms || !pPageAvailable || !poData)
          return E_POINTER;
     if ( pageIndex == 0) {
          CDialog *pTab = new GeneralSearchTab() ;
          pTab->Create(GeneralSearchTab::IDD,parent);
          CComObject<CGeneralSearch> *page = new CComObject<CGeneralSearch>;
          page->setWnd(pTab);
          page->AddRef();
          *pPageAvailable = VARIANT_TRUE;
          *poData = page;
and so on.
In the CGeneralSearch I implemented:
STDMETHODIMP CGeneralSearch::get_hWnd ( long * pHwnd ){
     AFX_MANAGE_STATE(AfxGetStaticModuleState());
     if(!pHwnd)
          return E_POINTER;
     *pHwnd = (long)m_page->GetSafeHwnd();
     return S_OK;
With one tab, this seems to work ok, but if I add more tabs (return more than 1 from the get_Pages method) the first custom tab will always crash when receiving any message (example WM_MOUSEMOVE). Crash happens in the explorer.exe process WalkPreTranslateTree method when calling the PreTranslateMessage.
BOOL PASCAL CWnd::WalkPreTranslateTree(HWND hWndStop, MSG* pMsg)
     ASSERT(hWndStop == NULL || ::IsWindow(hWndStop));
     ASSERT(pMsg != NULL);
     // walk from the target window up to the hWndStop window checking
     // if any window wants to translate this message
     for (HWND hWnd = pMsg->hwnd; hWnd != NULL; hWnd = ::GetParent(hWnd))
          CWnd* pWnd = CWnd::FromHandlePermanent(hWnd);
          if (pWnd != NULL)
               // target window is a C++ window
               if (pWnd->PreTranslateMessage(pMsg)) <----------CRASH HERE
                    return TRUE; // trapped by target window (eg: accelerators)
          // got to hWndStop window without interest
          if (hWnd == hWndStop)
               break;
     return FALSE;       // no special processing
I did some debugging, and the handle hWnd is the correct handle of the CDialog I created for the tab. This only happens with the first created tab when there is more than one custom tab. If I don't return any hwnd in the get method for the dialog, I get one empty tab but the others work well. This definately seems to be some sort of bug in the interface when initializing the tabs.
Have anyone got this working? I tried with 6.0 and 7.0 and both fail same way.
Oh, and I think the search interface I badly designed. It is always calling the normal search first. It would be lot wiser to be able to disable the original search if using custom. Other option would be to provide the search result list in some interface so it could be filled with any own dialog.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
I first tried this using two different tabs. I implemented GeneralSearch and AdvancedSearch classes implementing the ICustomSearchPage interface. I also created two different dialogs GeneralSearchTab and AdvancedSearchTab and referred them without upcasting (later on I used CDialog to test things). Both tabs showed ok but putting cursor over first one would crash the application immediately. I debugged and it is the windows messages that crashes it. I think the parent window (tab control?) is doing something wrong with the first tab. It seems that I can create as many tabs I want to and even use same class over again and it is only the first one that fails.
Well, I did lot of testing because there wasn't examples of this and no proper documentation of the API, so I might have had CDialog * upcasting there but I'm pretty sure that I first tried without upcasting.
Fortunately we found out that the other tab is not yet needed, so I can continue with the project. As I said, if I only create one tab, that works perfectly and we have already modified abap code for the extra fields we need.
I will try to test this again starting from scratch this weekend.

Error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon

After a full system upgrade of about 500mb, I now get this error when Gnome is started. Also, im kinda new to this...
"There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
The last error message was:
The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files
GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in."
The things is, my background and other desktop stuff is still in their place. But my keyboard has gone back to its default setting and the drivers for my wireless isnt getting loaded. I also have problems playing music with Amarok.
After the full upgrade of my system I installed compiz-fusion and AWM, but they arent started when i boot. Could they be a problem?
I looked at some issues with similar error messages, where they downgraded the gnome-settings-tools, how do I do that?

Hi there!
I copied the from where pacman generates the fallback version before starting to upgrade.

Gnome panel and Compiz

I have decided to replace xfce4-panel with gnome-panel in compiz but i cannot edit anything because alt-right-clicking does nothing. (Well it work a couple of times, but it would only work once randomly after i reset it.)

Thanks.
That was what I was looking, however with that command it completely takes over right-click (can't copy, paste, etc). Would anyone know how to make it apply only to right-clicking the desktop?

[NEW RELEASE] Arista - Easy to use transcoder for the GNOME Desktop

I have created packages (regular and nightly releases) in the AUR for a new program called Arista.
http://programmer-art.org/projects/arista-transcoder
An easy to use multimedia transcoder for the GNOME Desktop. Arista focuses on being easy to use by making the complex task of encoding for various devices simple. Pick your input, pick your target device, choose a file to save to and go.
Arista has been in development since early 2008 as a side project and was just recently polished to make it release-worthy. The 0.8 release is the first public release and includes a to-do of items that will be completed for the 1.0 final release.
Features
* Presets for iPod, computer, DVD player, PSP, and more
* Live preview to see encoded quality
* Automatically discover available DVD drives and media
* Rip straight from DVD media easily (requires libdvdcss)
* Simple terminal client for scripting
Requirements
Arista is written in Python and requires the bindings for GTK+ 2.16 or newer, GStreamer, GConf, GObject, Cairo, and DBus. If you are an Ubuntu user this means you need to be using at least Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty). The GStreamer plugins required depend on the presets available, but at this time you should have gst-plugins-good, gst-plugins-bad, gst-plugins-ugly, and gst-ffmpeg. If you are on Ubuntu don't forget to install the multiverse packages.
Development
All development will happen on Launchpad, which provides bug tracking, distributed version control, milestone / roadmap planning and tracking, a forum and translation utilities.
EDIT: I guess I should add AUR links =-)
Regular release: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25872
Bazaar (nightly) release: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=25876

I'd say yes, since it is optional (only if you want to transcode from DVD)
"Yes" is a strange answer to an "Or" question

Customizing the gnome menus

I am building a demo environment. I want to use the gnome ui and create menu items like jdeveloper, sqldeveloper, sqlplus etc to make it easier for users to get started. So far I have:
1. create desktop items in ~/.local/share/applications
2. created a new menu ~/.config/menus/demo.menu
3. created a supporting directory entry ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/demo.directory
4. modified ~/.config/menus/applications.menu, which references /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and added
<Menu>
<Name>Demo</Name>
<MergeFile>demo.menu</MergeFile>
</Menu>
But when I restart gnome the new menu does not show up under Applications.
I've verified the category (DSSTools. one I made up) in the xxx.desktop files matches the categories in the demo.menu file.
If I add a category like "Internet" to the desktop items they show up on that menu (and work), so I know it is not the jdeveloper.desktop (etc.) file.
I've run out of ideas.

Below is what changes when adding a menu to "My Menu" named submenu, containing an item called submenu item:
$ cat applications.menu
<!DOCTYPE Menu
PUBLIC '-//freedesktop//DTD Menu 1.0//EN'
'http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-1.0.dtd'>
<Menu>

Missing dependencies for the gnome-games package...

Hello everybody,
i installed the gnome-games package via Pacman. All the games have worked flawlessly from the beginning, except for the Gnome Sudoku. It refused to run. Then i started it from the terminal to watch the output, and i found out it needs libgnomeprint and libgnomeprintui libraries to run. So i installed those two packages and now it works. I dunno if this is the right place to complain about such things, but the maintainer should be notified and those dependencies added. Have a nice day!

I did actually search the bug tracker but didn't find anything. Now I realise I need to switch to "Community Packages" in the drop-down combo.

I think there is a very annoying bug after the latest update of firefox, can I talk to someone, or chat with someone so I can get rid of it

Since the latest auto update of my firefox browser I am experiencing strange issues. Every evening when I stop working, I close my browser (closing all the tabs that I am working on and in the morning, I restore the session) . For many years everything worked just fine ... untill after the last auto update of the firefox browser .. all of a sudden a got 302 errors ( a blank page with the description 302 and I believe "page moved here" or something to that extend ... i try to click the link and get nowhere.
I first noticed it on a few wordpress pages (backend ) that I was working on and which were restored from the previous day ...
thinking it was a server error, since we have several vps and dedicated servers .. i contacted the company who hosts our servers ..
they looked into it and apparently .. there were no issues on the server side and neither on that particular computer ... but our server hosts told us .. that it is probably browser related and seemed to have something to with a bug with the cache of the browser
we didn't know what to do .. it was very annoying .. but at that point it only happened once on a hew pages .. so we decided to see what happened the next time
Next time we did not restore a session with wordpress pages .. but with the google search engine open and on a few other tabs logged into social media .... and as was saidn by our server hosts it was indeed not related to work that we did on pages on our servers ... since that time even the google search engine homepage ... showed us ... moved here
Can you pease look into it and fix this .. we are doing the same thing as many years on the same computer also a few years .. so it is not anything we do wrong either .. it is most definitely browser related
so can you please fix it asap .. since when we work on wordpress .. that is not the only thing that goes wrong .. we also have difficulty uploading updates ... when updating sometimes after the update of any particular change on a wordpress page is done ... we are also redirected to a blank page .. so the updated page does not want to load ... in that case we have use our back button ...
which sends us back to the right page ... but with the old data on it ... then we have to refresh that page .. and only then we see the page updated ... so it seems that there is an issue in both direction with the caching of the browser after the last update
Kind regards,
Robert

uninstalled firefox ....deleted all files still remaining under mozilla firefox directory in program files ... to avoid having to reprogram all my settings, reisntall all addons as well .. I did not remove anything from mozilla firefox that is stored in either appdata or under the windows users directory (if any)
... the as suggested reinstalled the latest version of the firefox browser using the link you provided in the email ..; tested and several issues still remain present and unresolved ....
so please this is urgent or I will have to jump browsers and start using chrome .. because we work 14 hours a day 6 (sometimes 7) days a week, to get ready for the launch of our newest venture and we cannot lose that much days on browser related issues ... so please instead of putting me through week long step process .. of do this .. do that .. can you please actually look into the issue from your end .. I use firefox for so many, many years thta I deserve this kind of support .. thnx Robert

Bug in the copy cluster roles wizard - CSV reparse points cannot have names with spaces

Hi All,
I have identified a bug in the copy cluster roles wizard in 2012 R2, which is preventing me from migrating my clusters from 2008 R2 & 2012 to 2012 R2.
The bug surfaces when you attempt to copy a VM role from a 2008 R2 or 2012 cluster that has a CSV reparse point name that contains spaces as follows:
The role appears to copy across fine, but once you've migrated the CSV and brought it online followed by starting the VM, the VM configuration resource promptly fails along with the VM.
The issue can be spotted inside the copy cluster roles wizard, where it presents itself by removing all text after the first space in the name to read "C:\ClusterStorage\CSV" rather than "C:\ClusterStorage\CSV
Test Disk 3" as follows:
The bug only appears for VMs on CSVs with a reparse point name containing spaces - all other scenarios succeed.
After searching through the registry on the new cluster, you can clearly see that the VM role hasn't been correctly copied.
It shows a value called SharedVolumeMappings with the data C:\ClusterStorage\CSV|<guid>|<integer>
Whereas it should show the data C:\ClusterStorage\CSV Test Disk 3|<guid>|<integer>
If you modify the data in the SharedVolumeMappings value in both
0.Cluster\Resources\<VM guid> and Cluster\Resources\<VM guid> keys, the VM will start and work correctly.
The problem for me is that I have many VMs on many different CSVs all with spaces in the names of the reparse point! Its not feasible for me to go through the registry for every copied VM on every node of the new cluster, as this would take a very long time
and would be prone to errors that could cause further problems.
Can anyone provide any help on this? A hotfix for the issue would be great, if anyone from Microsoft is reading :-)
My deadline to get the VMs migrated to the new cluster is the 21st February, so I would really like to have a solution to the problem before then if at all possible.
Many thanks in advance,
Tom

Hi Subhasish,
Thanks for the reply, glad that its something that is reproducible!
Do you have any idea of timescale? Or is it likely that I will have to modify the registry as above to get this working?
If I am going to have to modify the registry, please can you let me know if the resolution I have tested above is safe and viable? Or are there other settings that I will need to change to make the cluster fully aware of the proper path to the CSVs for its
VMs?
Also, is there a known procedure for renaming the reparse point whilst VMs are running on it? This would allow me to negate the issue before copying the roles to the new cluster :-)
Thanks again,
Tom

Bug Report: The keyboard focus doesn't automatical...

Bug Report: When a conversation window opens, the focus doesn't automatically land in the chat entry text field.
Since the new interface for Skype was introduced officially in Skype 7.0, there is a bug with the system/keyboard focus for a new conversation window. When Skype is in "Split Window View" and each new conversation automatically pops up in a separate window, the system/keyboard focus doesn't land in the chat entry edit field. Instead, the user has to press Shift+TAB a couple of times, to move it there and reply to the chat message received. This especially problematic for screen reader users, who rely on keyboard navigation. This mainly occurs when a new conversation is started with an incoming message, but it sometimes occurs when moving the focus out of that conversation window and later back in it again (while it is still opened).
Steps to reproduce it:
1. From "View" menu, activate the "Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
2. From Tools -> Options -> IM & SMS -> IM settings, enable "Open a new window when I receive a new message in Split Window View", if it is not already enabled.
3. From Tools -> Options -> Advanced, activate "Enable accessible mode", if it is not already enabled.
4. Activate the "Save" button, to save the changes.
5. Close all windows, related to Skype. You may keep only the main window opened.
6. Tell someone to send you a chat message. When the message arrives, Move the system focus to the conversation window in question, preferably with Alt+TAB. The system/keyboard will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should by default, but in some unknown place in the window.
7. Move the system/keyboard focus in the chat entry edit field and keep it there.
8. Switch to another window, preferably from another application.
9. With Alt+TAB, switch back to the window of the opened Skype conversation. There is a chance that the system/keyboard focus will not land in the chat entry edit field as it did in Skype 6.21 and earlier and as it should do by default, but again in some unknown place in the conversation window. But that is harder to reproduce.
Test environment:
- Operating system: Windows 8.1 Pro N, 64-bit, in Bulgarian with all locale settings set to "Bulgarian".
- Skype version: 7.0.0.102 for Desktop.

This is a known problem, but Skype have not given us an estimated time for a fix.
Traditionally, Skype updates have been roughly monthly, so we are due a new version sometime soon. Many of us here are hoping that is has a bunch of fixes for the UI, the focus problem being one of them.
