No scrolling when viewing man pages with Gnome terminal?

Hi all,
I have just installed Oracle Solaris 11 on x86. For a long time I've used Solaris 9 on SPARC. I like the new OS, but I'm having a problem viewing man pages with Gnome terminal. When I view a long man page, e.g., "man newfs", I don't get a functional scroll bar on the right hand side of the window. And although the space bar works to advance the page, when I reach the end, it doesn't return to the command prompt. It just beeps, prints "END", and I can only exit by closing the window. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? Suggestions would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Chris Tidy

It does sound like you're using "less" instead of more. When you see the "(END)" prompt you can simply type "q" and it will exit back to the command line prompt making it unnecessary to close the window. See the "less" manual page for more detail on the less command. Under Solaris 9 the paging was done with the "more" command. If you set the PAGER environment variiable to "more" the man page will use more and revert to the behavior you'd be used to with Solaris 9. Less erases the text you've already read when you type that final "q" which is a behavior I don't like. I didn't bother to determine if there is a way to fix that with less, I just went back to more. The choice between "more" and "less" is a personal preference.

Is it possible to ignore the cover page of a document when viewing two pages at a time.

when viewing a document with two pages up at a time, I want to ignore the very first page/cover page in the document so that all subsequent pages line up correctly. I can't find how to do this, is it possible. I cannot extract or delete the first page b/c the document is protected. I don't want to modify the document in any way. This document is a catalog that has information spread across two pages. So, when the cover page is included in the two page scroll viewing option, all the corresponding pages are offset by one page. I want the cover page to be at the top, by itself and the rest of the pages to show side by side.

Can't view man pages on solaris 8 x86

Hi,
I installed solaris 8 on a intel x86 machine not using the webwizard because I wanted a minimal installation.
When I try to view man pages I get the following error:
man manReformatting page. Please Wait...Invalid SGML. File cannot be formatted
sys(cd /usr/share/man; /usr/lib/sgml/sgml2roff /usr/share/man/sman1/man.1 > /tmp/sman_3827) fail!
aborted (sorry)
when I list /usr/lib/sgml then I got the following files:
ls -ltotal 2830

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 1366552 Jan 9 2000 nsgmls
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 3183 Jan 6 2000 sgml2roff
Don't know what is wrong but I think I'm missing a package, anybody clues...

Depending on how minimal your install was, you may not have installed the man pages.
Take a look in /usr/share/man and see if you have the man pages installed, and if not, install them.

Firefox becomes really slow then eventually unresponsive when loading a page with many hires images. Unsual high memory usage up to 2gigs just for firefox. Was never a problem with v3.6.

When loading a page with many hires images, Firefox becomes really slow and scrolling becomes jumpy then eventually becomes completely unresponsive. Unusual high memory usage of up to 2gigs just for firefox when loading these pages. This was never a problem with v3.6.

I encountered the same type of problem. Firefox running terribly slowly and slowing down my entire machine (Core i5 with 256GB SSD). Searching the forums, I found a couple of things about troubleshooting performance issues, one of which was to use '''hardware acceleration''', that is on by default. It was turned on on my PC, '''so I tried deactivating it, and it worked!'''
So doing the exact opposite as Mozilla support said solved the problem. It is really a pain now to work with Firefox. I'm using it because I have no choice, but I'd recommend IE and Chrome over Firefox... Whatever, the market will decide once Firefox has become to crappy...

In MVC, do i need a View or Page with flow logic for POPUP window

Hi All,
I have the below scenario using the MVC pattern.
I have a main view with 3 trays, each tray has two buttons, for example first tray has Create Order button. When I click on this button, I need a popup window to come with a tableview and a button(Create), where I select some rows and click on the button Create to create order.
But as per the MVC pattern I canu2019t call the view (popup) from another view(main view). So should I create a VIEW or PAGE WITH FLOW LOGIC for the popup? .
I need 6 popup to be called from the main view and once the function is done close the popup.
Please suggest me the flow for this scenario.
Cheers,
Srini.

Srini,
1. You can call the view in pop-up because you will be calling the controller using open.window.
Here is the sample code:
method DO_REQUEST .
data:
        li_vw           type ref to   if_bsp_page,
        lv_form_field   type          string,
        li_md           type ref to   zcl_model01.
dispatch_input( ).
li_md ?= get_model( 'm01' ).
lv_form_field = request->get_form_field( 'invoice_create' ).
if lv_form_field is initial.
*------ Request to display main page
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'main.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
elseif lv_form_field eq 'true'.
*------ Request to display Invoice page in pop-up
    li_vw = create_view( view_name = 'invoice.htm' ).
    li_vw->set_attribute( name = 'model' value = li_md ).
    call_view( li_vw ).
endif.
endmethod.
Layout:
      function do_Invoice()
      { var s=0; r=1; w=300; h=300; x=screen.width/2;
        x=x-w/2;
        var y=screen.height/4;
        y=y-h/2;
        popUp=window.open('main.do?invoice_create=true','win','width='+ w
        +',height='+ h +', left=' + x +',top='+ y +');
Option2:
Ofcourse you can't bind the model in page becos those are 2 different things. But all you need to do is access the model to get some value. To know how to access the model from Page w/flow logic look at [this link|Passing model reference to a page in a Popup].

When viewing my webmail with firefox there is nothing in the inbox, but all other folders are fine

problem is when viewing my webmail with Firefox there is nothing in the inbox, but all other folders are fine.

You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
Clear the cache and remove cookies only from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

Can only access certain man pages with sudo

I can only access certain man pages with sudo. They aren't accessible as either root or normal user. I can't be a 100% sure but it would appear that the man pages I have problems with are those located in /usr/share/man. I can't see any differences in file or directory permissions with those located in /usr/man. Anyone else having this problem. Or have I commited another noobish mistake.
man pacman is an example.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

the filesystem and bash packages need to be updated after the pacman 3.1 release
if you want immediate results add
UNSET MANPATH to your .bashrc

If I am viewing a page with the words date or match, the words are hyperlinks to a dating website. This is not so if I view the same pages in IE and has not been picked up by Norton, Spybot or malware bytes etc. Is this a Firefox bug?

You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />

Why there is a difference in a "class" attribute value of html tag when viewed in "Page Source" and using "Inspector", I am refering to new Microsoft site?

While inspecting the new Microsoft site source, I observed that the "class" attribute value of the "html" tag when seen in Page Source the value given by Tools/Web Developer/Inspect tool. Value with the tool indicates class="en-in js no-flexbox canvas no-touch backgroundsize cssanimations csstransforms csstransforms3d csstransitions fontface video audio svg inlinesvg" while that is given in Page Source is class="en-us no-js"
The question is why different values are shown?

Inspector is showing you the source after it's been modified by Javascript and such.
To see the same thing in the source viewer, press '''Ctrl+A''' to select everything on the page, then right-click the selection and choose '''View Selection Source'''.

Viewing iWeb pages with browsers

I know iWeb is WYSIWYG but I miss the facility I had in PageMill to quickly switch to view the page I'm working on in browsers. Is there any way to do this with iWeb? I currently upload my site before viewing it in Explorer or Firefox and I'm sure there must be an easier way. I just can't see what it is…!
Thanks in advance for your help

Doesn't that seem like a really ,really bad idea as a
basis for designing an application used to create web
pages?
Personally I find it novel and ingenious. If you want the usual kind of program there are lots to choose from, and there's hardly a need for another one like them.
Would if it were at least possible after a site has
been published into a local folder that visting the
site took you the the page you were viewing to start
with.
iWeb doesn't visit published sites itself. How is your browser supposed to know what page you were viewing inside iWeb? Maybe there's way to do that.
How about if you publish a site it doesn't have to
load every single page on the site every time you do
it, but rather just updated the changes? Nobody's
going to be able to make a site with any complexity
like this.
Sounds like a likely future improvement. If you use .Mac, only changed pages (in red) are uploaded, unless you add pages and thus change the navigation header so all pages need revision. If you don't use .Mac, there are ways to use ftp programs to upload only changed items.
I'm not a web designer or anything like that, but
building a site of more than a dozen pages and
linking them is going to be painful to do with this
thing.
I don't think it is intended to fill every need. People who need more complex stuff should use something else.

How can I keep pages from scrolling when using keyboard page-down

The bottom of the pages window has a gear. You can select "Page" in the drop down menu and click the arrow, to perform a page down. The new page is positioned exactly like the previous page. But when I type fn+down-arrow or cmd+down arrow the new page view is either higher or lower than the previous page. Resizing the window makes it almost possible to get a consistent page display but not quite. It's awkward trying to read a document when each new page jumps to a new position. The arrow next to the gear is the only solution I've found.
Does anyone know a way to achieve this page down view using just the keyboard. I'm using the iMac wireless keyboard?
Thanks,
Mark

It is an annoyance, due to the 2 meaning two different things.
The page down key means the whole window view which is not the physical page that you see in Pages.
Apple could have clarified it by labelling the key +window down/up.+

Firefox crashes when loading any page with flash. I have tried all available fixes including plugin updates. If I disable flash the crashes stop, but no flash.

Firefox crashes on any page with flash. I have the most recent version of Firefox on OSX Snow Leopard. I have made sure that I have all the most recent plugins and extensions and I am not running any custom theme. I have completely un-installed and re-installed Firefox and flash to no avail. I think the problem is in some user preference, but I cannot seem to find it. If I log out and use a different user on my machine, Firefox does not have the flash crash problem.
== Crash ID(s) ==
??

JYOuyang: I have the correct plugin for Flash. My problem is not the "Flash crashed" icon, which would be generally acceptable, but FIREFOX crashing, usually rather dramatically. I have since regressed to Firefor 3.6.3. I am still using Flash 10.1, the newest version. This no longer causes Firefox to crash. Now then -- if the same plugin causes no crashes in the new version of Firefox and does cause crashes in the prior version, it is not exactly a humongous leap to conclude that maybe, just maybe, there was a bug introduced in Firefox 3.6.4? I mean, it's not as if a major feature of 3.6.4 was a significant change in how plugins interact with the browser or anything... oh, wait, there was, wasn't there? Hmmm. Saying "It's Adobe's fault!" rings a little hollow when the 10.1 plugin works correctly in the prior version of Firefox. Any kind of host/plugin model relies on a contract between the host and the plugin, and when there's a crash, it indicates one side or the other broke that contract. Under the circumstances, it's difficult not to suspect the blame for this lies on the Firefox side. It's certainly possible that Adobe's code IS broken and the problem is that it SHOULD work with the new version of Firefox, if it were properly written, but it's not, so it doesn't. However, no one seems to want to dig down to find out or provide a workaround other than regressing to 3.6.3, so that's what I've done -- Firefox does too many other things right for me to switch browsers at this point.

Difference when viewing PDF render with /workspace-server/ and /DocumentManager/

Hi all,
There are 2 scenarios when viewing file in attachment:
1) When user is processing the form, they view the attachment in attachment tab. The url's format is: https://mydomain/workspace-server/documents/-6195445997301787088-16.pdf
2) My client's requirement is to view files in attachment tab even after the process is complete.
What i have done is to write a custom java component, retrieve attachment of the last task and return to user.
The url has format: https://mydomain/DocumentManager/docm1266831910962/53650adc3948bd502cf8c81d4885feec?type=Y XBwbGljYXRpb24vb2N0ZXQtc3RyZWFt
(I also found that the file is generated under GDS folder)
In both of the cases, navigateToURL() function is used to view the pdf in new window.
My trouble starts from here. In several client's machine, case 2 always ask them to save the form instead of viewing in the browser, while case 1 always can be viewable.
Below is the image of case 2 when i click in the link:
The strange thing is in local environment, both cases are working ...
Is there any idea why it happen?
My client is using windows xp, IE 6 and adobe reader 9. Some of them are using windows vista, IE 7 and adobe reader 9.
In local environment, we have tested successfully with
1)
Window XP
IE6/IE7/FireFox/Google Chrome
Adobe reader 9
2)
Window vista
IE7
Adobe reader 9
Regards,
Anh

You are confusing me
But first, the setContentTypeFromBasename() is an ES2 addition to the Document class. Didn't realize this was a pre-ES2 case. Sorry about that.
Next, you say you are removing the ?type=ASDFASDFASDF from the url on the client. This must be there so the DocumentManager servlet can set the proper content-type in the http response. I looked at the code and if it isn't there, no content type is set so it will be browser and os dependent on what it will do,although i would expect most to prompt.
And however your custom component and the short lived process work, that document output variable needs to have the proper content-type set in it (the Document has a setContentType() method in 8.2 but you will have to do the mapping from file extension to mime-type yourself in 8.2). If it does and you don't remove the type parm from the url, then things will work. But if that type parm isn't there or the content-type isn't set in the document output var, the browser will not know which application/plugin to launch and will prompt.
