Is this how pacman is supposed to work? (dependency "problem")[SOLVED]

Hi
Just did a fresh install of archlinux after buying a new computer.
Installed some drivers.. kde (and some other stuff)
Then.. just for the fun of it I removed qt3 with pacman -Rd.
I was expecting that pacman -Syu would see that a dependency was missing and try to reinstall qt3.
So I did a pacman -Syu, and what happened? Nothing.. pacman says all is okay, well all is not okay cus kde will not work without qt3.
Is this how it should work or is this a bug? I checked the manpages for some kind of "install all missing dependencies" but found nothing..

That's not how Arch is supposed to work. Arch is about giving power to the users. With power comes responsibility, and this responsibility falls on the users in this case. Remember -- this is a "do it yourself" kind of distribution and so if what I want to do is to screw up my system I should be able to do it in an easy, efficient and elegant way. This is consistent with the mission statement of the Arch Linux project, this is how Arch works and this is why many of us love it.
On a personal note, if Arch/pacman tried to hold my hand more, like you suggest it should, I'd be switching to another distro very, very quickly.
It's not really about trying to get arch/pacman to hold your hand for you. It's more about giving the possibility to recover from a serious mistake. If you can tell me something wrong with adding an option wich checks for missing dependencies on your system and how that particular feature intervenes with "the arch way" - then please do.
I'm not saying arch is bad, arch is actually the best linux distro I've used so far - but there is something common with almost all distros - you get dependency problems after a while, one way or another.
Thats why I think there should be a way to resolve such issues.

It started after the major update to iOS 7.
I can't believe that this is so hard to do. It's just not letting me. I can add a bookmark to the home screen just fine, just not in a bookmarks folder anywhere I try.
I've used Apple products since 2001 and have always loved how intuitive they are. But the Safari browser since iOS 7 has been the worst I've experienced. At least right in the beginning after that update.
I'd really appreciate any help that doesn't just tell me how it's suppose to work...I know that.
My iPad 4 is not affected with the problem and works as it should.

How are we supposed to work with the new motion tweens if there's no motion editor anymore?

How are we supposed to work with the new motion tweens if there's no motion editor anymore? Without motion editor we can't see what kind of keyframes are set and we can't set any accelerations anywhere. Does Adobe now want us to go back and use the old motion tweens?

Hi All,
Flash Pro CC 2014 (v 14.0.0.110) is now available for download via the Creative Cloud App.
We have included an all new Motion Editor along with several other new features with this release of Flash Pro. The new Motion Editor is completely redesigned, intuitive and easy to use while preserving the core functionalities and backward compatibility with Flash CS6

How is PUSH *supposed* to work?

I have just moved from a v1 iPhone to a 3G. I have had the 3G for 3 days.
I'm trying to understand how the PUSH function works. The User Manual is not very clear.
I'm using Mobile.Me
I am not getting an alert when my phone is 'asleep'. Is this normal? (I would have thought the point of PUSH was that you are alerted when there is email .... )
I can send myself a test, which is picked up pretty much instantly by my desktop Macs, but even if I leave the iPhone untouched for say 20 minutes, then wake it up, there is still no message. If I then go into the Mail app. (on the iPhone) it will then connect, download and alert me.
This doesn't seem like the correct behaviour.
Any explanations of how it is supposed to work would be most welcome.
Grant Symon

RomingGnome, Deggie, Thanks.
I think what happened was that I had deleted my non-standard MM account on the iPhone, but then of course, when I did the first sync, it was replaced from the MM servers.
I have now left this account on the iPhone, but turned it off, and made a new MM, standard account, which I then synced, did a test and it worked immediately, with alert, whilst the phone was asleep. Very very cool and just what I wanted.
I shall now have to experiment to see if I can get the non-standard MM account to work too. All this because Apple won't let us use a non MM 'return address'. How dumb is that? Still ... one has to hope that with Apple trying to push the iphone towards enterprise, they might notice that [email protected] is not really the return address most business users are going to want.
Thanks again,
Grant

Is this how i'm suppose to use subclasses?

I have this code, and it works, but for it to work, it has to generate exceptions, which I catch, but its weird having a function that in order to work properly always generates exceptions. Is this the way I'm suppose to do this?
               for (FObject i : objects)
                    try
                         FUnit unit = (FUnit)i;
                         unit.moveTowardPoint();
                    }catch(ClassCastException e)
               }objects is an Array of FObjects. FObject is a class with a few functions and protected fields. FUnit is a class that extends FObject and adds the function "moveTowardPoint()" this code works to call moveTowardPoint on all of the FObjects that in objects that are FUnits, but it has to throw exceptions, which I catch.
What I'm trying to ask is, is this type of casting a normal ocurance in Java programming? Does it have any issues, or problems?
Edited by: happypigface on Mar 27, 2008 8:13 PM

You can use the instanceof operator to find out whether the FObject is an FUnit, and only do the cast and method call conditionally. No try/catch required.
But it would be better still if you reworked your code so the caller doesn't need to know what kind of object it has (apart from what would be clear from static type checking, that is, an array or list of FObject).
So maybe you could do:
class FObject {
void tick() {
    // do stuff common to all FObjects
// etc
class FUnit {
void tick() {
    super.tick();
    moveToUnit();
// etc
}Then your loop is just:
for (FObject i: objects)
i.tick();

How is iTunes suppose to work...does the Playlist on the SLVR's display...

Dear All,
I hope I have not overstayed my welcome. Can anyone who has a "properly" working SLVR with iTunes tell me how many buttons you must push to use iTunes and its Playlist? Do you have to enter the card memory first and then click on each songs icon to play it? Do you see your Playlist?
See my earlier thread on this SLVR's reluctant to be able to put tunes on the Playlist.
Thanks in advance. I will be looking forward in any responses.
Sincerely,
MacOwner
G4 powerbooks17s(1.33 and 1.5GHz)

Dear toonz,
Again, much thanks. I will attempt to download tunes via the Windows XP to download - hopefully, it will give me some prompts to lead me.
I hope not to sound too inept but the procedure I used earlier was to connect the SLVR to the computer with iTunes up and wait for the SLVR to appear. When it does, I then drag and drop the desired tune then disconnect.
That's it. No other action. Then, I activate the SLVR to see if the song is in the PLayList. It never is.
Is it due to the SLVR's action to just take the dragNdropped tune and store it anywhere because there is no command by me to tell where to store it?
No need to respond. I do not want to monopolize your time. But if you do, please accept my thanks in advance.
Sincerely,
MacOwner

Content types, Required site columns, How are they supposed to work?

Hi,
I have 2 issues:
I created a Folder level content type with many Required site columns. I was hoping that when I create a new folder the new content type screen will pop up and I must enter all the required properties (metadata) for this new folder.
Issue 1) But it didn't work that way. It just required me to enter the name of the folder and the folder was created.
Issue 2) I then went to Edit Properties to enter enter all the required metadata. I would like to have my newly created content type to be the default. So that when I open up the Edit Properties the popup screen would defalt to my new
content type. But it defaults to "Folder" Content type. even though in liberary setting, My new content type was the only one check "visible" and set as default.
Can someone please help? Am I missing something?
Thanks!

I don't think you can do what you want to do using only out of the box features. A few notes:
Users will need to click the New Document dropdown in the ribbon to select your new folder content type. (I.e. Don't click New Folder)
The "default" option in the content type list is to pick the default content type to be selected when you click the New Document button. (I.e. it won't impact the New Folder ribbon button)
The ribbon button for New Folder is hard coded to use the built in folder feature.
You may want to look into the 2010 Document Set feature to create folders with metadata. It will do what your custom content type does and a lot more.
Possible solutions:
Create JavaScript hack that changes the New Folder link in the ribbon to go to the New Document link for your custom content type.
Create a Visual Studio Feature to hide the New Folder button and add a new New Folder button that points to the New Document link for your custom content type.
Leave the existing New Folder button there and create Feature to add a new custom button for your content type.

How is it supposed to work - Forward of requestdispatcher

I am executing this code from FirstPage.jsp
          config.getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/offer/SecondPage.jsp").for
          ward(request, response);
          but the browser's URL location still show me the
          http://localhost/FirstPage.jsp instead of SecondPage.jsp( It is
          excuting/showing all the code & html output for the SecondPage.jsp)
          Is it the correct !!
          I am using weblogic.5.1 with Service Pack-1
          Thanks
          la


          A forward done in this way is a server-side action. As a result, the browser's
          address does not change. The beauty of this is that you avoud a round trip to
          the server, and a bookmark to the initial URL that got the browser to the JSP
          in the first place will be accurate.

How is Sync supposed to work? There are things it does; but some obvious ones it doesn't.

Shouldn't Sync (after a crash, where previous open Tabs are lost) open in the latest Synced configuration? Or, am I over-wishing?
When I Sync Now on a computer does FF4 not store the chosen configuration items to a Mozilla server somewhere?
When I Sync Now from a second computer, (the one for which I obtained a Passcode and entered into the original computer), does FF4 retrieve settings from the aforementioned server? Or, is the second computer writing configuration data to the server. Or, is it sending data to the server for storage in a second configuration data set?
Perhaps there is a white paper describing how this is structured? Perhaps someone could tell us some of this information saving me the trouble of running a bunch of 'experiments' such as altering bookmarks, syncing and then examining the listed bookmarks!

I would remove the Audio Menu button from the Main Menu, since you don't want users to access it immediately, and it only applies to one timeline.
Make the Main Feature button link to a menu where the user is forced to choose an audio track.
Set the link for each of the other buttons that link to the other timelines explicitly using the Specify Link option to force the primary audio track (in case the users are returning from watching the main program with the alternate audio track).
If necessary, you can create a duplicate set of scene menus for each path (Main Feature, other timelines). Once a user starts down a particular path, the other path's menus are not accessible until the user returns to the main menu and then starts down the other path. If I understand your navigation setup correctly, the extra menus probably are not required.

How is TC supposed to work?

Howdy
I have been having problems with iPhoto (losing pictures, ect). When I went to the TC to restore my pictures, all I could find, throughout all of the backups, where iPhoto screens that were identical with the current screen, which is corrupted. I thought that I would find a screen as iPhoto existed before it went all wonky on me.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks
rlmslo

Hi
Thanks for the info. I have done all of that. The problem is that all of the iPhoto pages on the Time Capsule are corrupted. They are all like the one I just reworked. In other words, none of my earlier iPhoto backups are there, just endless copies of the corrupted one.
This has caused me to lose faith in iPhoto, I'm backing up all of my pictures to SmugMug. It also makes upset with Apple, as this problem seems to have affected a lot of people, yet I do not hear of any fixes or solutions being offered by Apple.

HT1933 How are you supposed to do this when it DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!!! you press report problem and it comes up saying " too many http redirects". Total useless !

How are you supposed to REPORT THE PROBLEM when it DOESN'T EVEN WORK!!
I clicked it as I got a receipt for something that HAS NOT EVEN BEEN BOUGHT ! (It's funny how apple try to charge me twice for something when I work nightshift and my phones switched off!)
and all that happened was it came up saying "too many HTTP redirects" .
And it won't let me report it ! X

How is wireless connectivity supposed to work for HP wireless printers?

Does anyone know of any white papers, or similar, that describe how an HP wireless printer is supposed to establish connection, 1) for initial setup, 2) for regular use after installation? Trying to understand the process from experience, mine & others, without access to an analyser doesn't provide definitive answers. It's a lot easier to solve a problem when you know how it's supposed to work . (and preventing them in the first place)
Initial setup appears to use the IP address for establishing connection, but for subsequent use there would seem to be a number of ways that fit the behaviour . Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks TreeFrog.
My printer is a P1102w, and the support CD labelled P1100/P1560/P1600 series, so I guess any comment about the P1102w would be applicable to the 1560 & 1600s as well. But it could also be useful to other printers with varying degrees of relevance. Thats why I reckon a document discussing principles and ranges of devices they apply to could be useful (eg. "this method of connection was introduced in year x and not applicable printers before then, or something like that " .) I also know that reading manuals is rare but I've found in the past that all sorts of useful interesting stuff can surface unexpectedly (the unknown unknowns of IT!).
The specific question I have relates to sending a print after the initial connection has been established and Smart Install has been completed. Do subsequent connections depend primarily on the IP address, or is some other method of identification used, such as MAC address or device id?
If the IP address based on the dynamic DHCP request is used then this has implications in the event that the DHCP table on the DHCP service/router is reset, say in the event of a power or device reset. Where such resets are frequent then it may be worth using an IP address determined some other way, such as a Manual(locked)-DHCP (if supported) or static (providing a static address outside the DHCP range can be found).
Thanks for your help.

How are you supposed to upload new music to your iPhone in iOS 5?

I have some folders in iTunes that I had setup to synchronise with the iPhone on iOS<5.
I have some other folders that synced with my iPad.
I don't understand how I'm supposed to change the music on my iPhone now when we sync with the cloud? how do I tell iTunes to "sync this with the iPhone, and this with the iPad."?
I have looked for manuals about his on Apples support site, but couldn't find any.
Please help me, so I understand how it's supposed to work!

Then be more specific.
Creat a list with your top rated trance music, or put a keyword in certain songs and make smart playlists using keywords or simply limit the size of the smart playlist.
You can make =these playlist in just about any manner you wish. They are very flexible.
