Ncurse based apps + Notify-OSD?

Hi. I am wanting to configure either calcurse or ncmpcpp to send notifications to my desktop (through Notify-OSD). I am very unclear on how to do this, all that comes to mind is to pipe the internal notification commands into notify-send somehow?
In the calcurse config file there is this:
# Command used to notify_user of an upcoming appointment :
notification.command=printf '\a'
and for Ncmpcpp there is this:
#execute_on_song_change = "ncmpcpp --now-playing '{%a - %t}|{%f}' | notify-send"
I know the ncmpcpp setting is obviously wrong since notify-send needs to have a "body/summary" entered as well.
I believe that if one of these is solved I can figure out the other.

Rhythmbox / Goggle's Music Manager / Banshee (banshee has package in AUR, Rhythmbox supposedly works, would like confirmation on these three)
Sometimes I use Xchat (haven't tested, any data on this?)

  • How to use notify-osd with qt apps in openbox

    Hi, i'm using openbox and Notify-osd. With qhte GTK apps it works fine and i have no problems. But, all the QT apps don't work with notify-osd. Is there a way to get it work?
    I've tried editing the  this /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.freedesktop.Notifications.service file, and it says:
    [D-BUS Service]
    Name=org.freedesktop.Notifications
    Exec=/usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd
    But, it still not working with the QT or the KDE apps. like amarok or choqok.

    This is what worked for me:
    Put style=GTK+ at the end of your.config/Trolltech.conf. Got idea from here.

  • How to get SSO userid to URL-based app?

    I'm developing a web-app using Struts that will be accessed by Portal (I guess as a URL-based app). The web-app will not require login. The web-app will not be Portal "aware", except that it requires the SSO userid for auditing/logging purposes.
    I know little about Portal and SSO. How can Portal be configured to send the Portal userid of the logged-in Portal user? Can it send it as a parameter in a GET or POST?
    The version of Portal will be 9.0.2 (or greater).

    This topic is answered in the PDK forum here:

  • Devices and I are in one city but time zone and location based apps show devices location in another city

    iPad2 with IOS 8.1.2 located with me in Eastern Time Zone city but settings under General reflects Central Time Zone(Chicago).  All location based Apps are reflecting a Central Time Zone city, one that I have never visited.  I did an erase and restore of a backup prior to this issue but it was not resolved.  What do I do?         

    I am having a similar issue. I moved about 10-15 miles. Any app, such as Maps, a Weather, etc, that use location keep showing my current location as my old address. I'm interested in hearing the solution to your problem.

  • System freezes every time I use a Java based app

    Hi all,
    Very new to all this as I don't really know what to do, where to post or really how to ask about this.
    It started out that I wanted to try to use JAlbum, a program that creates photo albums to share on the web etc..... I upgraded the Java app on my WinXP Pro (service packs and updates in place) to the newest version of Java. I even uninstalled all previous versions of Java, rebooted a couple of times and installed the newer version (j2re-1_4_2_10-windows-i586-p.exe).
    I was instructed to install the JEdit free edit pad type app. The application went smoothly. When I exited the installer my system froze. When I rebooted and started up the .jar file all went well. I created a test file and saved it and then exited the program. System froze up. Started up JAlbum after rebooting, same thing. Program works right but then system freezes up and I have to do a hard reboot.
    I work with 3D stuff all the time (Poser, DAZ Studio) as well as in Photoshop CS so my system is kept up to date for this reason alone. My system is considered very stable my geek friends and so this is very strange as this has NOT ever happened to me in the years I've been using WinXP Pro!!
    Please let me know if there is anything you can suggest, besides reloading up Windows, that's not an option, that's the easy way out and with more thant a hundred programs on board that is not something I relish doing!
    Thanks very much

    I was turned on to a thread here that seems to have some info.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=661574
    I did update my Direct X that I'm embarrassed to admit was out of date. Still froze the system after the reboot trying to run a Java based app. So now I have tried the vaiable solution and set the nVidia video card options to Application Controlled and I'll see what happens.
    I'm going to reboot, again and then run JAlbum and keep my fingers crossed. If that doesn't work then how do I implement the last posters suggestion?? Through the Run dialog (copy/paste and hit OK?)
    Thanks much for your help!

  • User Authentication in a folio based App

    Is Entitlement the only method of authenticating an app user in a folio based app? I'm looking to store a SSO id or token for use with the publications not necessarily for downloading additional publications, but for accessing additional content within the publication itself. Like a subscriber only section or advertisement.

    yes. I image what you are looking for is a way to make certain articles in a folio accessible by authentication. The app would call out to a 3rd party authentication module and only when the call comes back as authenticated would it enable viewing of those articles.
    If we were to augment DPS in this fashion, it's pretty far out on the roadmap.

  • Using UIScrollView in a window-based app - IS IT POSSIBLE?

    sorry for noob question but i am very new and only 12 years old so i am very new. I am making an app that involves scrollviews but i want to use window based app so i can use the window setHidden piece of code instead of messing around with view controllers.
    My Question:
    How can I implement a scroll view into the app delegate .m since there is obviously no ViewDidLoad feature. Do I just make the IBOutlet in the .H file but what to do in the .M file to get the "scrollview ScrollEnable:YES" and the CGSize parameters in without causing a massive error?

    I don't know why you'd want to hide your main window, but in any case, a view controller wouldn't prevent you from doing that. View controllers do all kinds of good things behind the scenes and catch lots of useful messages, which is why they're almost always recommended for any full-screen view--even in the simplest possible project (see [Overview|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Reference /UIViewControllerClass/Reference/Reference.html%23//appleref/occ/cl/UIViewController] in the UIViewController Class Reference). That said, making iOS apps without any view controllers will be an excellent way for you to learn what they do for you, so onward and upward!
    How can I implement a scroll view into the app delegate .m ... Do I just make the IBOutlet in the .H file but what to do in the .M file to get the "scrollview ScrollEnable:YES" and the CGSize parameters ...?
    Yes, assuming a UIScrollView object has been added to MainWindow.xib, make an IBOutlet ivar and @property for your scroll view in the @interface (MyAppDelegate.h) of your app delegate, and connect that outlet to the scroll view in IB. Then add the scroll view to the window and set its properties in the [applicationDidFinishLaunching:|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documen tation/UIKit/Reference/UIApplicationDelegateProtocol/Reference/Reference.html%23//appleref/doc/uid/TP40006786] method of the @implementation (MyAppDelegate.m). Don't forget to set the [contentSize|http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/UIKit/Refere nce/UIScrollViewClass/Reference/UIScrollView.html%23//appleref/doc/uid/TP40006922] property of the scroll view to the size of the view it will scroll. The view won't scroll unless contentSize is higher and/or wider than the scroll view frame.
    ... there is obviously no ViewDidLoad feature. ...
    There's no reason your app delegate class needs to be a direct subclass of NSObject. It can just as easily be a subclass of UIViewController. In that case you could override viewDidLoad, or any of the other useful view controller methods in the app delegate @implementation. Just change the superclass from NSObject to UIViewController in the first line of the @interface, and connect the 'view' outlet of the app delegate to the scroll view object in IB.

  • Internet-based apps won't refresh, but mail aand safari are fine

    Okay, so here's the situation. Internet-based apps, such as Facebook give me error messages saying that items like walls and info don't load, and then the apps crash, or only display older content. My mail works fine. Safari is always slow, and I have done everything from resetting the phone to putting it into DFU mode then hitting restore, and it doesn't solve the problems. Get this, I'm currently on my IPod Touch 64 gb 4th generation which works excellent. I'm on the web using my IPhone 4's Personal Hot Spot connection, and yet the IPod Touch browser is faster.

  • Tab bar based app, with 4 tabs each linking to a different navigation menu

    Hi,
    Im new to coding and I was wondering if anyone could help me out with a problem im having. Im trying ot get 4 tabs accross the bottom in a tabbar with each one linking to a navigation page. Im trying to get 5 topics on each navigation page which go into more detail to another page when clicked. so 4 tabs x 5 topics x 5 more detailed topics. I have tried the O'Rilley tutorial and could make a tabbar with 2 tabs. but I cant do 4, can anyone help?
    Thank you all in advance.

    Hi Sunny, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
    If you're using [Elisabeth Robson's tutorial|http://broadcast.oreilly.com/2009/06/tab-bars-and-navigation-bars-t.ht ml], it looks like a nice job (for a different tutorial, please let us know if we can find it online). I generally start with the Tab Bar Application template, since it does almost all the work of setting up the skeleton. But you'll certainly learn more starting with the minimal, Window-based App template, which is the purpose of a tutorial.
    The easiest way to add a new tab is to find the required controller type in the Library and drag it into the tab bar. I think you want a UINavigationController there, so choose that one from the Controllers section of the Library. You can drag the nav controller icon into either window (i.e. the Tab Bar Controller editor window or the xib window). When dragging into the xib window, you can choose the new controller's position by where you drop it in the small icon tree. (Btw, I might have missed this in the tutorial, but make sure the xib window is displaying two columns with a small icon tree to the left. This is done by setting the View Mode switch to the center position). You can also add tabs by opening the Attributes Inspector when the tab bar controller is selected and clicking "+" under the View Controllers table.
    Once you have your additional nav controllers added, build onto each one the same way you did with tab 2. If that's the only place you were stuck, you should be on your way in a few minutes.

  • Connection SQLite with Flex Web Based App??

    Hi! I have a problem, I create a Flex Web Based App in Flash Builder 4 and I need connect that app with my SQLite database... but I can't found the method that permit me create that connection.
    My question is... exist some method or some kind of code with I can do the connection?
    Can someone help me, please?

    SQLLite is only available in AIR apps.
    The preferred method for a web-app is to use some kind service architecture to expose your data. I wouldn't be able to offer any specific advise without knowing more about your deployment environment.

  • IPhone 5 unable to connect to internet or use web-based apps like Facebook or Tumblr

    About two days ago, shortly after using my iPhone 5 to upload a picture of my son eating a donut to Facebook, I seem to have lost all ability to connect to the internet or update content on web-based apps like Facebook or Tumblr.  I tried to restore my iPhone in iTunes on my computer but could not do that without first turning of "Find My iPhone," in the iCloud section of my settings.  When asked to enter my password to turn off this feature the phone is "unable to connect to iCloud."  It doesn't seem to matter if I'm connected to WiFi or using my cell data - I'm getting a strong signal in either case, but the phone is unable to connect to anything.  I CAN make phone calls and send texts but that's just about it.
    I recently updated to IOS 8.1.1 but it worked fine for several days before this problem started.  Any ideas?

    I reset my network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings) and rejoined my network, and that seemed to fix it. Apps are working on wifi and on data, and I can once again send imessages. Since I couldn't find a similar post very easily, I wanted to post this for whoever needs help with this problem ;D

  • Your favorite Flash based apps ?

    I'm writing an article on the unexpected and underestimated power of using Flash to develop apps for the iPhone/iPad. It seems that most developers and designers are still under the "No Flash" mantra of Steve Jobs. However, it is hard to find good examples of Flash based apps, since they're simply not promoted as such in the App Store. It also seems that the number of available Flash based apps is not that impressive, judging by the (lack of) developers talking about it on the web or in forums. I just find stumble upon stale pages on the old debate or even older pre-CS5 techniques...
    There used to be this list:
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcs5/appsfor_iphone/
    But it refers to the new Packager, now.
    So, who can help me out ?
    What's your favorite Flash app for iOS ?
    Are there any lists or spots where they all flock together ?
    UPDATE: Oops, I didn't scroll deep enough in the topic list to find out there's already another thread that touts examples of Flash based apps. However, your suggestions are welcome, of course !

  • [SOLVED] No icon or progress bar with notify-osd-customizable

    Hello,
    I just reinstalled my system; I use a script to know my brightness and audio volume but I can't get it working anymore.
    With this
    notify-send 'Hello world!' -i dialog-information
    I only get the text. If I try this to have a progress bar
    notify-send 'Hello world!' -i dialog-information -h int:value:50
    I just get a notification with 1px height.
    I installed notify-osd-icons to have more icons, but it didn't help.
    The arguements have changed?
