Is there a page with more info about unix groups? wiki is vague

as a recent arch convert, i've really been guessing about which groups to join. (based on limited available information)
but, randomly, in different (arch) wiki's and forum posts, they seem contradict each other.
some say being in the disk group is dangerous.
some say to be a member of the dbus group, others say not to
it's all very confusing.
I'd love to help to improve the arch documentation on this really weak area, but i'm still new to this.
any ideas?
wiki page is here:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Groups

When adding software via pacman, you will get a short postinstall message, which indicates that it is recommended to add users to a certain group.
E.g. when installing 'sane' this message will appear:
Add your user to group 'scanner' to use scanner devices.
For example, I am member of the following additional groups:
lp video audio optical storage scanner camera users

Importing MS Word into PDF adds extra page with document info

I am still evaluating Acrobat Pro, including Life Cycle Designer to create Forms, currently testing converting existing forms made in MS Word to PDF. There is someting that I do not know how to resolve is when I import files from MS Word, an extra page with details info about the document is copied as well. It contains info such as number of pages, author, date of creation etc....20 lines of info.
This becomes akward when inserting the document into an existing pdf...or just create a new form from the Word document....adds the extra page ..
Is there a setup somewhere that I could modify to not have the extra info? or how do I delete it? I try to select the text but cannot (within life cycle)
Thank you

If you are importing into Designer, you should ask in that forum. If in Acrobat, then you might try printing the WORD document to a PDF first and importing the PDF. However, with Acrobat you will not get the form fields that you are preserving with Designer.

Is there a way to place a button on the front panel that when clicked gives a pop up dialog box with more info in it?

Hi Everyone,
The simulations that I am creating are very simple themselves but are intended for use in a classroom setting to help students learn more about the theory being demonstrated. I am hoping to be able to place a "Help" or "more info" button on the front panel so that if a student wants more info about the theory they can click on it and a pop up appears with background info on it. It should also have a second button to close it and return to the main front panel again. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?
Thank you!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Use an event structure on the main vi that when the button is clicked, launches a "Help" sub vi. Inside the sub vi (with the properties set to load front panel when called of course), use another event structure to wait for the button of the subVI to be clicked so you can return to the main VI. Do you need help with using event structures?

More Info about ProRes

Hi, I am still trying to learn enough about this topic to feel good about it, so for any of you who've helped me on on this I appreciate it, and I'm still working on it, so bear with me...
So, the time has come to do some capturing. I have some Beta SP tapes that I'm going to capture. I've been asked to capture them ProRes 422, which is the codec we're editing in. I'm trying to find out more just because I want to make sure this is the most efficient way to do this.
The white paper says HD files that compare in size to uncompressed SD. I realize this is a reference to how ProRes treats HD material, so what is its effect on SD? Are there pros and cons to capturing the Beta stuff in Apple ProRes vs. capturing uncompressed SD? My biggest questions are:
1: Between these three things (ProRes 422, ProRes 422 HQ, and Uncompressed 10 bit SD) what are my end file sizes going to be? Is there a storage benefit to any of these, and if so what's the best option?
2. Is there a better choice? I've heard a lot of people tell me that ProRes is unnecessary for SD stuff, but again, I don't know enough to say otherwise and I've been asked to do it this way, but I've also been asked to find out the advantages to one versus the other here first before we actually rent a deck and start capturing.
3. Just in general, since I'm obviously floundering on getting a good grasp on the use of ProRes for my particular project, anyone who maybe knows of a good place for me to read up/listen up on ProRes and its uses, especially in regards to SD, I'd greatly appreciate any advice.
Sorry to keep asking what seems like the same question worded differently, but this time I'm trying to produce a clear comparison so the big guy can make a decision. Thanks a lot!

There's a few aspects to this - and such several "correct" answers.
First, what exactly will you be doing? Are you just editing or will there be vfx/color grading etc? If it is the latter, and you're in SD, I'd personally go with uncompressed 10-bit. The files will be large, but it will be worth it if you do a lot of processing.
ProRes files will be much smaller, and still look very good, but may not hold up as well to heavy processing.
Not sure what you mean with #2... what other codec(s) are you looking at. Saying it is "unnecessary for SD" is an interesting comment - depends on what you want to do with the footage.

Expanding iTunes fields to handle more info about each CD (Mac & PC)

The LP and CD covers often hold a lot of important info about the album, music and artist, producer, history. With the use of physical album covers on the decline as we use iTunes/mp3s more and more, a lot of liner notes and credits are no longer with our music. iTunes doesn't even have a field for Producer or engineer! But what about cover art or room for the players on the records, etc. (can you tell I used to work at record companies?
I think iTunes needs to be redesigned to take the place of a CD jewel box so we can get much if not all of the info on the digital album. Even a tab for additional artwork as some CDs have not just front cover art but also back cover or what about the box set where there's the boxset art but each CD has it's own CD cover art. Currently I just use the art from the CDs but then lose the art from the outer box, which I would like to be able to include in the future.
The current Comments fields is WAY too small I'm thinking you could as a tab that would be fore the entire record like the size of lyrics so you could put all the players, liner notes, quotes, etc. in an unstructured way and be able to see most of the data without having to scroll so much.

You can associate a PDF with an album and put as much or as little information in it as you want. Some album downloads come with digital booklets which may, but often don't, replicate all the information from the original packaging.
You can also embed additional artwork images in a files tag. Files with multiple images develop two triangles at the top of the artwork box to let you switch between the available images.
While I agree the artificial limit of 255 characters for Comments in iTunes is annoying if you put any such information into the Lyrics field there is the bonus that it can actually be viewed from your devices.

Want more info about optimizing battery lifespan and performance

I have read Apple Support's basic article on iPhone battery charging, but it doesnt answer all of my questions. i am kind of a fanatic about maintaining the health and longevity of my battery. I usually run it down to 3% or less before plugging in, then charge it all the way up. This creates some inconvenience, but after one year, my iPhone 5 battery is still performing much better than any previous iPhone ever did. Here are a few questions I have:
1. Is it really neccessary to wait for the battery to drop to 3%, or could I charge it after it goes below 20%, if it is more convenient?
2. Is there any harm in charging to less than 100% if I am in a hurry?
3. If I regularly plugged it in at over 50%, would it develop a memory and hold less charge?
4. What effect, if any, do Mophie Juick Packs have on iPhone battery health (I just got one)?
If there were no memory issues, the most convenient thing to do would be to plug it in every night at bedtime. Any knowledgable commentary would be welcome.

How can i get more info about the sent data in RTP?

Hello.
I'm working with the examples AVTransmitt2 and AV Receive2 and i want to get more information about the data that it is being sent to de receiver side. In AVTrasmitt2 i only see a calling to processor.start();. How could i know each packet that AvTransmit2 sends to the other side. I want info like the size of the data, the quality, format, etc..

Hi!
As I mentioned above. RTPSocketAdapter has two inner classes, SockOutputStream and SockInputStream.
SockOutputStream have a write method which is called when RTP data is sent over the NET. SockInputStream have a read method which is called when RTP data is received.
If you for instance want to know exactly what is sent you can parse the byte array that comes into write.
Like this:
* An inner class to implement an OutputDataStream based on UDP sockets.
class SockOutputStream implements OutputDataStream {
     DatagramSocket sock;
     InetAddress addr;
     int port;
     boolean isRTCP;
     public SockOutputStream(DatagramSocket sock, InetAddress addr, int port, boolean isRTCP) {
          this.sock = sock;
          this.addr = addr;
          this.port = port;
     public int write(byte data[], int offset, int len) {
          if(isRTCP){
               parseAndPrintRTCPData(data);
          }else{
               parseAndPrintRTPData(data);
          try {
               sock.send(new DatagramPacket(data, offset, len, addr, port));
          } catch (Exception e) {
               return -1;
          if(debug){
               System.out.println(debugName+": written "+len+" bytes to address:port: "+addr+":"+port);
          return len;
private void parseAndPrintRTPData(byte[] data) {
     // part of header, there still left SSRC and CSRC:s
     byte[] rtpHeader = new byte[8];
     System.arraycopy(data, 0, rtpHeader, 0, rtpHeader.length);
     ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.wrap(rtpHeader);
     int word = buffer.getInt();
     // version
     int v = word >>> 30;
     System.out.println("version: "+v);
     // padding
     int p = (word & 0x20000000) >>> 29;
     System.out.println("padding: "+p);
     // extension

     System.out.println("timestamp: "+timestamp);
private void parseAndPrintRTCPData(byte[] data) {
     // this only works when the RTCP packet is a Sender report (SR).
     // All RTCP packets are compound packets with a SR or Receiver report (RR) packet first.
     // part of header, there is still the report blocks (see RFC 3550).
     byte[] rtcpHeader = new byte[28];

     // length
     int length = (word & 0x0000FFFF);

     // sender's octet count
     int nbrOfSentBytes = buffer.getInt();
     System.out.println("sender's octet count: "+nbrOfSentBytes);
}I added a boolean isRTCP to the constructor so to know what sort of data is sent.
Hope this clarifies things.

Need to have more info about the latest patch on Oracle 10g Release 2

Please this is the follwing answer that was given to explain the purpose of patching the latest release of Oracle 10g release 2.
We are applying the patch to the 32bit environment to resolve memory errors.
This patch should be applied to the 64bit environments too as to maintain consistency in our database versions
Personaly I don't believe the response is accurate to patch the database.
Does someone can tell me where to find more information about the latest path of Oracle 10g release 2?
Thanks a lot

You can find more information about a patchset by going over the readme document associated with the patch. As such, it is not exactly clear what kind of information you are looking for.

Get more info about the last errors in Oracle

Hi all,
There is a log in a live system where it is possible to see every minute the following error:
Sweep Incident[48073]: failed, err=[1858]
I know that error can happen mainly when:
1. Trying to insert caracter field in a numeric column
2. Using in the wrong way the function to_date()
I need more information about that error, what can be causing the error in the system and why. Is it possible to see more information about the last errors in Oracle? For example, if a query produces an error... is it possible to see in Oracle the error and the query that caused the error?
Hope you can help me.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Niall.
I'm not sure if I got you...
What I found is that MMON makes snapshots of the database 'health' and stores this information in the AWR. So, it seems like in the database there could be a numeric column that is storing character fields, and when MMON works, it finds that error... is that right?

Batch import fails with more than about 250 photos

The batch-import problem (more than about 250) persists with Keynote 09.
I am disappointed because I know no alternative to Keynote to make superior slideshows (Text, moving graphics, opacity control etc.)
I have to import 550 slides to Keynote 09. The only way is to move seperated batches of 200 slides into the program. Other tries (e.g. 250 + 250 +50) fail. It does not matter wherefrom I import, either from iPhoto or Expression Media; the import from the finder is unusable because of losing the sorting-order.
I hoped so much ...
Can anyone (besides Apple) help?
Thank You!
Roland Muehlberger, Linz, Austria

This may not be the solution you're looking for but have you tried using iMovie to create your slideshow?
I can tell you that it's super simple using iMovie '08. Nice transitions, nice titling, Ken Burns, etc.. Very nice. The only thing you mention that I don't think iMovie can handle is the moving graphics thing (at least by just inserting them as in Keynote).

Need more info about "NestedContainer" violation

Hello,
I have a "NestedContainer" violation for a Canvas container in my application. Compared to the application's root container it is located at level 6 i.e. nested in 5 other parent containers. However at the same time I have other containers (again Canvases) which are even deeper nested for example at level 8 compared to the root container.
I need more information when exactly the "NestedContainer" violation is triggered so I fix my code if needed and submit a bug for FlexPMD in case the rule is not implemented as designed.
Thanks!
Smirnoff

Hi
I would like to share an example but I need to create it since I don't want to post the actual source code.
Simply copying the problem mxml file under another name doesn't work because it is put outside its container and then the violation is not generated.
If I have to create an example it might be too time consuming to achieve these:
- keep the same component hierarchy
- keep the problem present
- keep the example clean from the real source code
That's why I wanted to get more info when this violation is triggered and hopefully create an example faster.

Error in check_tableview_all_rows for a page with more than 1 tableview

Hello Gurus,
I have already seen few postings on the same issue but still couldnt find solution to my problem.
I have a page with 3 tableviews. My requirement is to select entries across the 3 tables, change the values and then save all the entried selected across the 3 tableviews and then they should all be unselected again as soon as the save is done.
I managed to do all but when I am using the method shown below in a loop^of that 3 tables or outside the loop onlmy the 3 rd table which is last field in the loop is getting unselected rest all still appears to be in selected state.
cl_htmlb_manager=>check_tableview_all_rows(
rowcount = wa_lines
request = runtime->server->request
id = 'table1'
check = ' ' ).
Could anyone of you help me on this or let me know if anyof you ever faced such issues.
Thanks,
Naveen.

Hello Raja,
Thanks for the reply. I am passing on the correct ID.
Whats the problem am facing is I am using this statement in a loop and then I am passing the corresponding ID ...It works but I guess its kind of behaving like over writing the previous.
I also tried using the same statement 3 times separately one after the other with each table id and still its happening the same with only the last table getting unselected and rest being the same as selected.
Thanks for your reply on this as am facing a lot of problem due to this.
Naveen.

Can I use Pages with more than one user?

Hi,
I recently purchased Pages and want to be able to use it with two different users (one personal, one business). Is this possible? If so, how? I have no problem using it with the user I purchased it with, but my business user does not the option for Pages in the launchpad. How can I use Pages across users?
Thank you,
Britta

Pages should be installed in the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive to be available to all users of that Mac. By default, if you are logged in as an administrator, applications are installed in this folder. I haven't done it, but I understand that if you are not an administrator, applications are installed only in that user's applications folder.
My installation of iWork is from the retail disc from more than three years ago but I did check for an app purchased from the Mac App Store in another user account on my Mac & had no problems finding it or launching it from Launchpad. Launchpad can be very cluttered &, unless you take the time to organize it, it can be very difficult to find a particular application. I would suggest trying to launch Pages from a Finder window or with a Spotlight search. And keep the Pages icon in the Dock for easy access the next time.

Is there a page with more info about unix groups? wiki is vague
