Make Arch auto-detect Network Start/Stop

I boot my PC while the network(Internet) is booting, so today I booted into Arch & then tried to start the network but Arch didn't detected it. I had to restart the PC in order to make the network accessible. How can I make Arch to auto-detect the network start/stop?

Actually you didn't - you just had to restart the network init script.

How make iphone auto-select network - DSL modem wifi "extended" through AEBS

I hope this is the place to post this - it involves an iPhone but concerns my wifi network.
I have a DSL modem on the ground floor which broadcasts a wifi signal.
I also have an Airport Extreme on the second floor which extends this signal to the third and fourth floors of the house where the DSL modem's wifi can't reach.
This extension by the AEBS is done by "creating" a new network (in Airport Utility's settings) which uses the same SSID.
This setup works very well and laptops can access the network on all four floors. However, my iphone - which I use for Skype a lot and is a main phone link in the household - gets "confused" on the first floor because it seemingly doesn't know which of the two stations to connect to. On this floor I think both signals are pretty much equally strong.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

However, my iphone - which I use for Skype a lot and is a main phone link in the household - gets "confused"
Unfortunately, iPhones and iPads and other iOS devices are not nearly as sophisticated as a laptop regarding choosing the best wireless access point to use.
In general, the iOS device will tend to hang on the original access point to which they have connected....even when another access point is closer and may have a stronger signal. At other times, the iOS device might "switch" to the closer access point.
Nature of the beast until Apple gives us a better iOS operating system. In the meantime, about all that you can do is power off the iOS device when you move it to another area and then power it back up to see if it will pick up the closer wireless access point.
Maybe one of the iPhone gurus will have a suggestion for you as well, so you might want to post over in that support area to see. We are not iPhone experts here.

Sending FCP5 'DV Start/stop detected' subclips to shake...

Hi all, I wonder if any of you Shake users could help with a problem I'm experiencing....
I tend to import my DV footage into FCP5 by using the 'Capture Now' option to capture the entire tape from the cam, then use the 'Detect DV Start/Stop' function to mark the master clip, then make subclips from that. A fairly standard process.
Now, my problem is this:
When I send clips from the timeline to Shake, everything seems to work as it should, with Shake starting a script using my clips....only it's not the 'subclips' I sent that appear in Shake, it's always the beginning of the Master Clip that the subclips were derived from.....although Shake IS recognising the relevent timings from the subclips.
Example: If I send two subclips to Shake, one 60 frames long and one 120 frames long, Shake will open two 'file-in' nodes correctly but one will contain 60 frames from the START of the Master Clip and the other will contain 120 frames from the START of the Master Clip and NOT the frames of the subclips.
Bizarrely though, once the 'file-out' node has been rendered and linked back to FCP5, the clip Shake has created in the timeline DOES contain the correct frames from the subclips.
I've tried converting the subclips to master clips in FCP5 but this makes no difference, the same thing still happens.
Trying to analyse what's happening, I suspect the problem is with Shake not being able to recognise the 'markers' FCP5 is using to identify it's own subclips, but I'm not sure if there's a way to get round this. My own solution has been to export the clips out to the desktop, then import them manually into Shake. It works, but obviously adds extra processes to the workflow.
I hope this explanation makes sense to you all.
Regards.
Steve.

Problems with DV Start/Stop detect with XL1s

Hello,
As the topic eludes to, I capture footage with a Canon XL1s (which I hate more and more with each passing day). This footage is then input through a Firewire 400(mini) to 800. When I select the footage in FCE, and select DV Start/Stop detect, a moment passes (where a load bar calculates), but then a small info box says the following:
*This movie does not have any breaks in the time/date information. No markers were added.*
What's strange is that I've got another clip that does creates two subclips - however - there should be more along the lines of 80 subclips. In fact, all the clips I'm trying to use DV Start/Stop Detect on have anywhere from 50 to 150 shots in each...
Anyone know why FCE isn't detecting the start/stops, and - furthermore - if there is anything else I can utilize to accomplish this?
Thank you.

Are you saying that because the clock settings were not set while recording, FCE cannot detect the DV >start/stops?
Yup.
You can add markers manually and then make sub-clips if you wish to break up a large clip .

Start/Stop Buttons and infinite loop exit

I am trying to make a GUI with a Start/Stop and an Exit button. Initially the button will have the label "Start". When i push it, its label should become "Stop" and an infinite loop function will begin. I want the loop to run until i press the Stop or Exit button.
The problem is that when the loop starts i can't press neither of the buttons. The "Start" button changes its label into "Stop" only if i make the loop finite and it ends.

Auto-Detect Screen Resolution Does Not Work Across Multiple Monitors With Different Resolutions

Hi,
The Acrobat Pro DC (15.007.20033.2203) auto-detect screen resolution feature does not work with multiple monitors at different resolutions. Acrobat looks fine on my hidpi primary laptop display (Razr 14" 2014) but is completely unusable if I drag or extend the application to a standard HD resolution secondary monitor. Dragging Acrobat from my primary desktop display to the secondary display causes the UI elements to become 2x as large as they should be and makes Acrobat unusable.
Is there a way to make Acrobat auto-detect the display that it is currently on?
Thanks!
-Donald

To prevent it from happing again, you can
1. go to the Mouse preference and turn off the scroll zoom feature.
2. go to the Universal Access preference and disable the zoom features.

[systemd] rc.d-style output when starting/stopping daemons

Hi everyone,
since polkit is deprecated by Arch Linux and many packages depends on systemd-logind instead, I have to switch to systemd. But I really miss rc.d-style output! Just like this:
# rc.d restart foobar
:: Stopping foobar... [ DONE ]
:: Starting foobar... [ DONE ]
netcfg also uses this "Arch style":
# netcfg -r foobar
:: foobar down [ DONE ]
:: foobar up [ DONE ]
Removing 'quiet' from kernel parameters will output simliar messages on boot. But when I log into X and run 'sudo systemctl restart foobar.service' or other commands in a Terminal Emulator, I cannot see any output. Neither the pretty 'Arch style' output nor normal 'ugly' black-and-white outputs.
I tried to modify /etc/systemd/system.conf, making:
DefaultStandardOutput=journal+console
DefaultStandardError=inherit+console
..., and reboot the system. But I still cannot get output when running 'sudo systemctl restart foobar.service'.
Can anyone help me getting back rc.d-style / Arch style output when starting/stopping daemons with systemctl? I really miss them!
BTW, I've tried 'sudo systemctl restart' with dnsmasq.service, httpd.service, mysqld.service, etc. None of them outputs...
Thanks in advance.

Hello!
I have Huawei 3G USB modem.
$ lsusb | grep -i huawei

I am trying to make netctl to auto-switch to internet connection via this modem as soon as I plug it in.
Following Arch Wiki, I made internet via wvdial working fine:

Seems like something is wrong in netctl profile and I need to teach netctl to use wvdial instead of whatever-it-uses-now for mobile_ppp connection.
So the question is: "Is this possible to make netctl profile based on wvdial connection? Or is this possible to fix abovr netctl mobile_ppp profile?"
Any help is appreciated! Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this bit of information. This solved the issue for me. But before fixing this, I also had to change the file at another position: I had to escape the quotes around the IP in the connect string setting the APN, so that it now looks like this:
${AccessPointName:+'OK-AT-OK' 'AT+CGDCONT=1,\"IP\",$(quote_word "$AccessPointName")'}
Without this change, I was getting errors like this:

Please forward me process/steps for auto start/stop oracel services

:bad interperter : no such file or directorymeans that it could not find the interpreter which should be used to interpret the script.
most probably this is caused by the shebang (#!/bin/bash)
the default location of bash on RHEL (OEL/CentOS) is /bin/bash, which means that the shebang looks correct.
can you make the shebang:
#!/bin/bash -xso shelltracing is put on and execute script again?
this will make clear if it is the shebang in your script, or in another script.

Start/stop detect vs. manual in/out while capturing

Can anyone tell me the advantages and disadvantages to one method over the other?

Erm . . .
Start / Stop detect.
FCP makes a new clip each time it detects the point where the camera started a new take.
Manual In / Out.
You decide where the clips start and stop, regardless of what the camera did.
Up to you to decide whether one will serve you best, really.

How to turn of "Automatic Start/Stop Detection for HDV Caputre

Hello,
I'm pulling my hair out trying to capture HDV 1080i-50 without getting separate clips created by the metadata at the start and stop of each shot. It's that feature called "Automatic Start/Stop Detection." I'm not talking about "Make new clip on timecode break."
How can I turn this Start/Stop thing off. I don't want all these **** clips everytime the cameraman hit the record button.
Anyone know how to turn it off so it stops making separate clips?
Thanks!
Kirk

Yeah, Andy. It helps to have the manual!! THANKS. It says... Select or deselect "+Create new clip on Start/Stop+ checkbox in the Clip Settings Tab of the Log and Capture window."
It's strange that I was looking for that kind of a box in all the various settings but not in the log/capture window.

Worth it? Auto start/stop services and change iptables rules

I have recently set up a crontab to start/stop services based on my schedule, such as when I'll be home or away. I intend to only have a service running when I'll probably use it.
I also integrated rules for iptables into the start/stop of the services (systemd), so they automatically modify rules to accept/reject on their ports when the services start/stop.
I am behind a router, so I only forward outside ports I use like ssh (which is not on port 22). I manually forward ports, but am looking at UPnP. This is my home network so I should be able to trust the devices on it.
Now, to my question. Is it worth the time and effort to set this up? Would it be fine to just enable the services I use, let them run and always have firewall ports open for them? I feel like it's good to limit the time that ssh is running, but what about services not open to the Internet? Resources aren't really an issue. What do you guys think?
I enjoyed learning about systemd, iptables, and cron in the process of setting it up. I'd just like to also learn about how much benefit there actually is, or if anyone has other ideas. Or if it's something that could go on the wiki (not really cron, but maybe the iptables/systemd stuff).

I'd say, if resources aren't an issue; why limit the time ssh is reachable from the outside? You should have PasswordAuthentication and RootLogin disabled anyway so your vulnerability doesn't really decrease by updating iptables? This script probably works fine until you forget about it and it makes a boo-boo; making your machine unreachable.

Having Start/Stop detect to break up DV NTSC on import?

Having Start/Stop detect to break up DV NTSC on import?
is this posible it works when importing my HDV but when i down convert out of camera to DV anamorfic it makes one file.

This might be what you want. After import of clip, select the clip in the browser go to Mark>Dv start/stop detect.
FCP will make your selected clip into a folder and inside will be the scene breaks.

Worked before with no problems, Same Sony 2000 and computer but when DV Start/Stop Detect is used it is not finding the time code brakes that are there, only new thing is the new upgrade to 5.04 Final Cut Pro, any thoughts?
Thanks,
Dave

In the USER PREFERENCES, make sure that you have MAKE NEW CLIP in the dropdown menu ON TIMECODE BREAK...and stuff like ABORT CAPTURE ON DROPPED FRAMES.

How can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

how can I make Thunderbird start auto with windows start-up

You can by placing a short cut in the windows startup folder, just like any other windows program.
However if you do you are likely to encounter problems as downloading mail while the anti virus is still loading and the network is busy announcing your machines arrival to the network ( which might be a network of one) and any of a dozen other program are loading is fraught with risk of timeouts and server disconnections as well as error messages that make little sense because they are about something that is still loading.
So the bottom line is sure you can, but if there are issues take it back out of there as a first step.
