Looking for GUI for Pacman

Hello,
I'm going to install Arch Linux next week. I am Ubuntu user right now, and have gotten used to the Synaptic Package Manager. Right now, I am fiddling with Arch Linux in a virtual machine. I have found that a program called Shaman exists, but the problem is that it QT based and I am using GNOME. I don't really like the look and feel of KDE application. So can anyone recommend a good front end that works similar to Synaptic and that uses GTK instead of QT. I need to be pretty recent and work well with pacman without any problems.
Thanks

If you use qt4.5 and select "GTK+" theme in qtconfig you won't see a (big) difference now. Even the file dialog looks like gtk.

SAP GUI for HTML - Short dump for Office intehration

Hi Experts.
I am using portal to view the transaction and it needs to open a document, while opening a document through it getting an error. when using
SAPGUI for HTML.
But it is working fine for GUI for Windows. ( selected this option in iView). It also works fine when use the transaction SAP itself.
Getting an below error from portal.
A RAISE statement in program "C_OI_CONTAINER_CONTROL_CREATORCP" has rais
exception condition "JAVABEANNOTSUPPORTED".
Since the exception was not caught by a program higher up in the call
hierarchy, processing was terminated.
Thanks
Rag

Anurag,
I have gone through notes.
I am using 7.2 version and access transaction through portal. while opening MS-office document, it is giving an error like JAVABEANNOTSUPPORT. and OFFICEINTREGRATION issue.
While opening it in SAP its working fine as well as using GUY for Windows also good.
But giving a short dump while accessing through portal with GUI for HTML option.
Any idea or work around for the same.
Thanks
Rag

Looking for programmer for Arch AIF GTK frontend GUI

I am the English admin & web developer for the Maryan Linux project. Let me just say what it is so you don't have to go researching about it.
Maryan Linux is a Linux distribution, based on Arch, using E17 as its DE. It is designed to be extra user friendly, but fast, stable and bleeding edge using the Arch Linux repos with Pacman.
What I, the lead developer (Maty1206) and second lead developer (smartboyathome) need is a programmer, who is experienced or good enough to build a friendly front end GUI for Arch Linux's AIF installer. It's a community project, so their really isn't any pay. Doesn't matter what language the programmer uses, as long as it works for the task (No java though). So if anyone wants to do it, can and has the time, just post a comment here.
The main benefit is that it also benefits other projects that need a GTK installer and Arch distros that use XFCE, Gnome, any *box, E17, LXDE etc. would use a GTK installer for Arch. The installer will obviously be under GPL so everyone can use it.
Cheers!

Isn't there anyone who is interested? We really need someone.

Anything simple I can add to a GUI for some extra credit?

I had to write a GUI for my COMP class this time, and if we add anything extra, we can get some extra points..which would be quite nice.
I have the GUI made and working as we were shown how to do, and now I would like to add some extra things to make it better.

}I don't care for something way out of my league (I'm only in my second semester of actually doing "tough" stuff. Maybe something that would change the colors of the text fields where the questions are, or change the color of the font printed, or change the font type, maybe add a logo or something for a school (it's a tuition calculator).
I looked through the API but reading over class names doesn't do much for me, and I searched Google a bit but most of the stuff I found seemed pretty difficult/beyond my knowledge.

alright...I fixed the messy issue, but I don't know how to setup the action listeners or whatever...
I need my calculate tuition method to work using the radio buttons, and I don't know how to set up the listeners correctly.
I can't find a single example on the internet that does anything like what I'm doing that I can use as a reference. I need something using radio buttons that calculates another number based on the results of the radio buttons...like what mine should do.
This has got to be a noob question, but I just can't get it to work....

Creating a GUI for use on an Ethernet Network

I'm designing a data logger to log voltage, current and temperature data on a reserve battery string while it's being charged. The logger will have the capability to be viewed remotely via Ethernet. With that said, I'd like some advice regarding the GUI for the remote PC which will be used to view the logger. Will it be easier to create the GUI using LabView or another high-level language (Java, C++ etc)? (Note: I have some programming experience in C (though I've never written/created a GUI) and I've never used LabView).
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Joe1373. In general, for a small one-off project, I would suggest you go with a language you know.
In this case it sounds like whatever you choose you will have a learning curve, so I would recommend
LabVIEW if that is a possibility cost-wise. LV has a lot of built-in support for GUI development so
you can make realtively sophisticated GUIs without a whole lot of work/learning.
There are time-limited evaluation versions of LV available for download. I would take a look there, especially
the examples. Find something a little similar to what you want to do, then change the GUI on the
example to more closely match your ultimate objective to get a feel for the GUI development in LV.
This forum is a great resource with some very helpful developers, so come back with questions.
There are also many professional developers available to assist if you have a budget or inclination
towards that direction.

Report painter report in portal - Excel output in SAP GUI for HTML

Dear sirs,
I need your expertize. I would like to let my users display (Excel in place)/ save the result of my report painter reports into MS Excel. I have found notes 499262 a 314568, but didn´t understand the message (or there is no message:)). Does that mean I cannot use Excel in place together with Report painter and SAP GUI for HTML?
Second question: is there a place (user exit in generated code? I don´t even know what I am looking for) to get the data provided by the report painter engine and send the retrieved data to some custom function (to be able to call the Adobe form, to save it as a text file or any option how to manipulate the resulting data...?).
thank you for your time and effort,
regards Otto

Hi Otto,
You can send print the report to the spool and then use RSTXPDFT4 program to convert this spool to PDF file. Alternatively, you can export the spool to spreadsheet or ASCII file via SP01 transaction.
Additinally, I'm not aware of unability to use Excel output with SAP GUI interface.
Regards,
Eli

ALV GRID and Integrated ITS 7 (SAP GUI for HTML) - dissapears on reload

Hi All,
We have a custom report that uses an ALV grid to display information to the user. Within this grid, there are fields that are display only and fields that are editable. Also, the grid is wider than the screen's width. It works fine in ECC. It also worked fine when we were using ITS 6.4.
We have recently upgraded to ITS 7. Now when we run the report using a Transaction iView (in EP 7) or the Webgui service (SAP GUI for HTML), if a field that is editable has focus when an event is triggered that reloads the grid, the screen becomes blank. So, you can click the Save button and the screen goes blank, also, there are date fields in the grid and if you choose a new date, the grid reloads and the screen becomes blank.
We have found that when the screen is blank, you can use the "Page Up" button on your keyboard and the last few columns of the grid will appear. As if the entire grid has moved off-screen to the left.
If you click onto a non-editable field and refresh or save, the grid returns to its normal state.
We are on Basis Patch level 15.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Also, does anyone know of a standard SAP transaction we can call from the Webgui that would have a similar setup...with an ALV grid containing editable and non-editable fields? We would like to rule out any errors in the report itself. Since it worked before we upgraded and it works fine in ECC. This would be a really big help too.
Thank you so much!
-Kevin

Hi,
Thanks Raymond, I have seen Note 314568. I could not get the second link to work but I have looked at just about every Note in reference to Integrated ITS 7 and Tables or ALV Grids and there are very many, so it would appear that SAP has had a hard time with implementing this control, but I have not seen any instance that matches the problem we are having.
Unfortunately, SAP will not investigate this unless we can provide a standard Transaction that exhibits the same behavior.
If anyone knows of a standard SAP Transaction that displays an ALV Grid that is wider than the screen (requiring a horizontal scroll bar) and with editable and non-editable fields, that would be fantastic. If we can test against that, then we would know for sure if this is a problem with ITS / SAP GUI for HTML, or if there is an issue with this specific report.
Thanks!

Transaction iView - SAP GUI for HTML-blank on some systems

Hi,
I have few transaction iviews - SAP GUI for HTML running perfectly well on few systems. But the same iViews fail to load in few other systems. A blank iview is displayed. What could the problem be?
Thanks and Regards,
Reena

Hi Reena,
Have a look at the product availability matrix:
https://websmp108.sap-ag.de/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001303&_EVENT=RELEASE&00200682500000002804=01200615320900001250&00200682500000003818=WBRPFM&00200682500000003853=Enterprise%20Portal
IE 7.0 may have some problems if using it with ITS. Ensure that IE are all on the same version (6.0 for example) and the same service pack. We have everyone using IE 6.0.2800.1106 and it works fine now.
Regards,
Nick.

Iview (sap gui for windows) not in mode full screen

Hi all,
I was last week working in a performance problem with ITS. We discovered that ITS (sap gui for html) is not the best when you have to show a lot of cells in the same page.
So the custom decided to run this transaction thru the portal, using an iview.
The problem now is that we dont want to show the sap menu, the transaction menu. Also we want this screen integrated in the browser. I have checked the options and looks like correct.
Launch in New Window = Display in content portal area.
I know that with ITS we can modify the menu, with somethink like this:
~WEBGUI_SIMPLE_TOOLBAR = 34
Is this possible with SAP Transaction iView fo sapgui windows?
Thanks a lot.
Have a nice day experts.

Hi,
In short, the answer is, yes.
There is however some additonal considerations you can make before creating hybrid roles with Web/Win Gui iviews.
When you start this scenario you don't have a standardised environment. You need to ensure all users accessing the iview have the Win Gui installed - again overhead, particularly when displaying inline of the webpage - even more of an issue when serving content to the outside world.
Have you tried to create a page (set the width to what you think can accomodate the requirements of the transaction you are calling), then assign the iView of the WebGui transaction you were having issues with to that? It should dynamically resize the iview to the page within the content area to allow your users to scroll to the right if need be. Just a thought.
Another scenario is to create a Z-App and enhance the screen of the SAP ABAP transaction to meet your needs, then call that transaction via the webgui. You can do much with webgui you can't do with WinGui e.g you can send users email that references the portal iView and send parameters via url query strings to prepopulate screen fields. You can control how users navigate within the portal.
Hope this helps.

SSO E-Sourcing and SAP GUI for HTML

Hi,
We are trying to provide integration between SAP E-Sourcing and SAP ECC via the SAP GUI for HTML. From an E-Sourcing project, we should define a link which will link us to the report via SAP GUI for HTML. Some parameters are automatically transferred via the URL so that the report will be prefiltered.
The problem arises that we cannot create a SSO mechanism between SAP E-Sourcing and SAP GUI for HTML. The only documentation we can find is how to setup this SSO between the Portal and ESO (only included going from the EP to ESO). We need to find a way to do the opposite, i.e. SSO from ESO to SAP / EP.
Thnx,
Bram

Dear Chong,
I have came across the following information about SAP GUI For HTML
With the version 7.02 / 7.20 of the NW Application Server
the SAP GUI for HTML has been completely
reworked.
1.The rendering is now based on Unified
Rendering which is also used by many other
SAP UI technologies.
2.Similar Look & Feel as other UI technologies
3.Better Portal integration
4.Full Theme support
5.Unified client requirements
But have not came across any note which converts the SAP GUI for HTML to SAP GUI for Windows in appearacne. I think the point 2 mentioned about says that in this version the SAP GUI for HTML will have appearnce like the other UI.
Pls refer the [link|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d06db80d-ebf4-2a10-6b99-faa652c69d5c?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
Hope it helps.

Portal themes for SAP GUI for HTML

Dear SDNs,
We have a portal theme designed with good and look and feel, but most of our applications are SAP Transaction iViews for HTML GUI. can we apply the same theme to HTML GUI applications? or at least can we change the background color and windows color of HTML GUI applications?
I have tried with ITS Theme generator, but it is just showing the tabs and others as image we need to change. Please provide inputs if any of you having the related information.
Can we also change the GUI for WIndows colors for multiple users? i know to change for one user's local layout, but how can we make one cusotm color for all the users.
Your inputs will be appreciated,
Thanks in advance,
Lakshmi.

Hi
I think we cannot apply Portal themes for SAP Transaction Iviews. However, there is a property called Stylesheet for each iview. Play with that property and let me know. The success rate is 50:50.
But I would recommend to migrate them to webdynpro ABAP. Do not still recide in 1995. Come and enjoy the 2010 Web2.0 look and feel and enhanced usability of Webdynpro.

Chiranjeevi.

Which IDE is suitable for GUI in Java?

Which IDE is suitable for GUI in Java?
I have kind of complex form with many text fields and buttons in a Java application. I have been trying with Netbeans, everything is fine with Netbeans but it is a huge problem when all the graphics components move around when you have too many graphic....
I am looking for IDE with GUI tools??? Any suggestions???
Many thanx for all advices

I tested Eclipse 3.2 and NetBeans 5.5. NetBeans definitely has the more stable, reliable and more user friendly GUI editor.
From the rest of the development - the features of the IDE - I see that Eclipse offers more but with the drawback for the beginner (as I am) that some things are harder to figure out how they work in Eclipse. NetBeans seems more "intuitive" and easier for me. - Emphasizing again that I am a beginner.

How to start GUI for VM?

Hi All,
I have OVM 2.2.1 installed on server. On top of that I have created one VM using VM-template OEL5.5. This is done successfully. Now I want to install ORACLE 11g on this VM.
For that I run "vncserver" command on this VM (console and command prompt) which gives vnc port number also but when try to login through vncviewer it's not connected.
Is there any way to start GUI for this installed vm?
Thanks...

Hi Avi,
Thanks for your reply. It works for me.
one more query for you, If you know it then please reply it.
Earlier I was using OVM Server version 2.2.0 and now in my new setup I am using OVM Server version 2.2.1. By mistake I had delete the ovs-agent-2.3 directory in my new setup (2.2.1) from /opt and my all VM getting crashed because at VM startup it looks for this ovs-agent in /opt directory.
Now, I had copied the ovs-agent-2.3 from earlier version i.e. 2.2.0 to 2.2.1. And it works. All VMs are up and running.
So I just want to make it confirm that there is no change in ovs-agent version between 2.2.0 and 2.2.1. Can you please update me?
Thanks...
