Mkinitcpio prays there's no "splashy" hook (but splashy IS installed)

I just followed the wiki page for installing splashy, but there's something not working because it tells me this:
[root@LTS-Arch ltsmash]# mkinitcpio -p kernel26
==> Building image "default"
==> Running command: /sbin/mkinitcpio -k 2.6.23-ARCH -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/kernel26.img

:: Parsing hook [filesystems]
FATAL: Hook 'splashy' can not be found.
==> FAIL
NOTE: Forget about this crap, i built the package but forgot to install it via pacman xD

(Apologies for butting in wiclee.)
The effect is usually caused by trouble with the Segoe UI fonts on your system. Unfortunately it's a bit trickier to deal with on Windows 7 systems than Vista or XP. (The "Vortical" instructions which can fix it for almost all folks on Vista and XP aren't applicable to Windows 7.)
Try having a look through the following (unfortunately very long) topic. It contains a lot of information on the Windows 7 variants of this, and possible methods for fixing the various Segoe UI-related issues that might be in play:

  • [SOLVED] mkinitcpio (problem with ide and encrypt hooks)

    I've installed kernel26-beyond 2.6.19beyond2 and after that mkinitcpio couldn't generate img file. I tried with 2 configs:
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES="reiser4 ext2 reiserfs"
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes, into the CPIO image, and additional
    # binaries a given user may wish. This is run first, so may
    # be used to override the actual binaries used in a given hook.
    # (Existing files are NOT overwritten is already added)
    # BINARIES are dependancy parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in anyway. This is useful for config files.
    # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options,
    # like so:
    # FILES="/etc/modprobe.conf"
    FILES=""
    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
    # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.

    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES

    # No autodetection is done.

    With the first config mkinitcpio froze when was generating ide hook and with the second froze when generating encrypt hook.
    Any idea what might have gone wrong? What should I do?

    I don't have any experience with the beyond-kernel, but on two of my machines which already use encrypted root with LUKS I have added the following modules into /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    (I use AES for swap & Serpent for the rest, sha256 as essiv-hash)
    MODULES="dm-crypt aes-i586 serpent sha256"
    Did you switch the Kernel on an already installed/running System or did you make a fresh installation with the beyond-kernel? In case your System is already installed, you could try the mkinitcpio procedure with a life-cd (may be worth a try).
    There's also an excellent article in the wiki:
    http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mkinitcpio
    In the troubleshooting-section of the article there's also a solution to a problem concerning the beyond-kernel and ide/sata/scsi, which could be just what you are looking for. 
    Hope it'll be helpfull!

  • Is there any way to hook into the SQL report pagination process?

    I have a SQL report (based on EMP) with a radiogroup row selector.
    The scenario 1 and 2 are in place
    1) When the employee row radio group is clicked the P900007_JOB the text item is populated with the JOB for the employee.
    2) When the page is initially displayed or submitted via the button the first row’s radio group is programmatically clicked and therefore populates the additional job information in P900007_JOB
    Info (radio Group) Employee No Name
    (+) 7369 SMITH
    () 7499 ALLEN
    () 7521 WARD
    P900007_JOB CLERK
    1-3 Next>
    Once the report has been displayed and the next or previous pagination is used then none of the radio groups will be selected and the data in the P900007_JOB text item will still display the job of the last selected employee row.
    What I require is on pagination some sort of mechanism to either
    a) Call the page_init() that should then set the first row as selected and populate the text item via the programmatic click. (preferred option)
    b) OR blank out the additional text item P900007_JOB.
    Is there any way to hook into the pagination process?
    I have a work around – Set the ‘Enable Partial Page Refresh’ to ‘No’ but this means a full refresh every time the pagination is used.
    Details of my page
    Report Region (Based on EMP table) – radio group as a row selector
    select     APEX_ITEM.RADIOGROUP(1,EMPNO,'X21',null) CHECKRG, EMPNO,
         ENAME,
         JOB
    from     EMP
    Report Attributes -
    Report template :- P900007_ROWTEMPLATE (custom template see later)
    Report Attributes Substitution :- id="emp_report" (used in page_init see later)
    Enable Partial Page Refresh :- Yes
    Columns – All columns are selected as show but job is left out of the template below.
    P900007_JOB - Text item in report region (disabled does not save state). Populated with the employees job when the radio group is clicked.
    Control region :- HTML region that just holds a button <GO> just to submit the page and redirect back to the same page.
    P900007_ROWTEMPLATE (named column row template)
    Row template 1
    <tr style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer;" onmouseover="row_mouse_over(this, 1)" onmouseout="row_mouse_out(this, 1)" #HIGHLIGHT_ROW# ">

    Anybody any ideas? Should I be looking down the route of using my own pagination buttons and adding my code to this?
    There seems to be a routine $a_report that I can use for the pagination but I am finding it difficult to get the current first and last record values that I would need to pass. I've seen references to below in the form but when I'm using partial refresh they do not seem to change.
    wwv_flow.g_flow_current_min_row

    Your code is absolutely unreadable - even if someone was willing to
    help, it's simply impossible. I do give you a few tips, though: If you
    understand your code (i.e. if it really is YOUR code), you should be
    able to realize that your minimum and maximum never get set (thus they
    are both 0) and your exam 3 is set with the wrong value. SEE where
    those should get set and figure out why they're not. Chances are you
    are doing something to them that makes one 'if' fail or you just
    erroneously assign a wrong variable!

    I can't be the only person who has this problem with iCal- when a month ends on a Saturday I can't drag events into the next month and instead have to cut and paste - a real pain in the butt. I thought there was something called "scroll" but I can't find that.

    Yeah that works, but, it involves a click on the event, a click on edit, a click on the date, keystrokes, plus, since you can't see the next month you have to have a calendar in front of you so as to put it to the right date. It's easier just to cut it and advance the month and paste it, once you are in the right month you can move it around helter skelter willy nilly no problems. Although now that you mention it I will try it, maybe it is easier than cut and paste as I don't really care about the date, as long as it gets moved into the right month I can drag it around all I want.

    I have no idea whether there is a causal relationship but since moving to Lion and iCloud, my iMac has become so unresponsive that I wind up having to crash and restart most of the time.  This is true regardless of the app I am using at the time.
    The specs of this iMac are:
    iMac 27 inch, late 2009 model with a 3.0 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 Gig 1067 Mhz DDR3, using OSX Lion 10.7.4 (11E53)
    I have Mackeeper installed and according to the scans I have run, everything is fine. No virus, no junk files . . . no problems at all . . .
    Except that for all practical purposes, my computer isn't working. 
    I am nearly totally deaf and live in an isolated, rural area of NW Missouri and this computer is what I mainly rely on to contact friends, relatives and business associtates!
    Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive may be failing.
    If you have more than ten or so files or folders on your Desktop, move them, temporarily at least, somewhere else in your home folder.
    If iCloud is enabled, disable it.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable. Launch the usual set of applications you use when you notice the problem.
    Step 1
    Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the page that opens.
    Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
    Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
    Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
    Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
    Step 2
    You must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way as above. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
    Post the 50 or so most recent messages in the log — the text, please, not a screenshot.
    Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out before posting.

  • Apple customer service said there is a payment outstanding but checked bank and the money has been taken any answers plz

    Do you no why apple are saying there is a outstanding payments but the money has been taken from my account

    Hi Cristintia,
    Just expirenced something similar. After being loyal Apple customers for 10 years I was unable to receive support because Apple doesn't support all products sold in their stores nor do they consider iPhone part of their WiFi support network.
    We recently bought an iBaby to use with our iphones as monitors. We have purchased 3 new iphones in the past 2 months. We also have 2 iBooks, 1 imac desk top, and an Airport Express. While trying to install the iBaby the Airport Expressed stopped working. My internet provider told me I needed to contact Apple. After about 40 minutes on the phone, James a senior advisor told me Apple doesn't support any of the current products we have purchased and that I would have to pay $50 for support. After telling me the solution was simple.
    Apple support should value their loyal customers. This seems like a scam to me since we have paid support on all our past products and the iPhones we just purchased. This experience has jaded me from wanting to continue being an Apple customer.
