Nvidia driver causing problems what should i use?

Hi,
Just switched my hard disk to a temporary machine and the nvidia card on it is causing crashes and random freezes on my machine.
Since its just temporary, I can't be bothered to mess around with the configuration at the moment.
Could someone please tell me what would be the default driver for me to use?
I don't have need for compositing or 3d acceleration.
Thanks in advance,
Ali

Well seeing as how you don't need 3d perhaps nouveau might be worth a shot: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nouveau
Word is that eventually it will replace the standard "nv" driver and it will be incorporated into the 2.6.33 kernel. In my experience the nouveau driver is faster than the standard nv.
To use it you will need to remove your current nvidia drivers and then change your xorg.conf to use nouveau. In addition you must enable KMS which is easy enough, see the wiki. I just happened to change from the nvidia blob to nouveau last night after installing KDE 4.4... So far I am satisfied and feel better about supporting the open source driver.

Nothing else will work. Why can't you install it?

Hello!
When there is unauthorized modifications on the iPhone Apple doesnt replace the product. Unfortunately you will need to get a new iPhone!
If you could have contacted Apple when you broke your screen you would be eligible to get a replacement after paying the Out of Warranty service fee.
All the best!

What should I use to clean the trackpad?

I bought iKlear to clean the screen of my MacBook and it works great. I have been using it for years on my iBook. I was reading the directions and it says not to use it on the trackpad. I had used it on my iBook trackpad with no problems. What should I use then to clean my trackpad? Why should I not use it on my trackpad? Anyone have suggestions or used iKlear on their trackpad despite iKlear's warnings?

A very slightly damped cotton cloth works wonders. Just be sure to wring it out as best you can so no liquid gets anywhere you don't want it to be.

What should I use? Vectors or...

I'm storing a large amount of Person objects, this is for a type of game I'm trying to create where it saves the players name, wins, losses, rank, etc in each Person object (this will all be in a text file also). I want these so that they can be sorted by any one of these statistics. I'm not sure how to go about this. Vectors were the first thing that came to my mind, but then I thought about LinkedLists, but I don't know much about them yet, I just know it's an option. My brother told me use LinkedLists, but that's all he would tell me. What should I use for this kind of task? All suggestions are welcome, I need a little help with this design. One more thing about this, players will be added and removed also. I really need some insight, thanks.
This is a side question, if someone could answer it, that would be nice, otherwise it's ok. How does a LinkedList differ from a Vector? Can't everything a LinkedList do, a Vector can do also with the same amount of ease? All I know that LinkedLists point to the next and previous nodes or something like that, not really sure what its advantage is. Thank you.

An array memory for holding each of the objects is allocated when you create it, hence you have to define the number of object you want when you create it.
+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|I0|I1|I2|I3|I4|I5| < Indexs
+--+--+--+--+--+--+
|V0|V1|V2|V3|V4|V5| < Values
+--+--+--+--+--+--+Pro: you can access the data quickly, as you have a direct refrence to each value, via it's index.
Con: Fixed size
Con: Waisted space
A Vector is a growable array.
It does this by creating a fixed sized array, then waiting until it's full, then creating a bigger one and then copying all the data from the smaller, old array to the new, bigger array. This means that every now and again you suffer a performce hit as your array grows.
Pro: you can access the data quickly, as you have a direct refrence to each value, via it's index.
Pro: Not a fixed size
Con: Will slow down when it grows.
Con: Waisted space
A Linked List does not have this problem each element holds the refrence to the next, unlike an array where the "system" holds a refrence to each element. This reduces its memory footprint, however its slower to search through as you have to loop through all the objects.
+----+----+
|DATA|LINK|
+----+--|-+
        |     +----+----+
        +--> |DATA|LINK|
              +----+----+Pro: Growable
Pro: Size
Con: Slow to search
There are things you can do to speed up a linked list (double linked lists & improve the order in which they are added) but it's still slow.
I'll leave choosing the data structure to you.

What should I use as parameter name in call.addParameter in WS DII client

I'm using dynamic invocation interface to call a web service in Oracle OC4J.
The part of WSDL "Types" is:
<element name="myType" type="tns:myType" />
   <complexType name="myType">
     <sequence>
       <element name="sss" nillable="true" type="string" />
     </sequence>
</complexType>
...My J2SE client has following code I belive create problem:
call.addParameter("sss", input,MyType.class, ParameterMode.IN);when I invoke the web service, I got error:
javax.xml.rpc.soap.SOAPFaultException: caught exception while handling request: unexpected element name: expected={http://mypackage/B2BGateway/types}myType, actual=sss
I changed my code according to this message as it expected to be:
call.addParameter("{http://mypackage/types}myType",
     input,MyType.class, ParameterMode.IN);I got :
HTTP transport error: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: java.security.PrivilegedActionException: javax.xml.soap.SOAPException: Error parsing envelope: (2, 179) Expected name instead of {.
seems the "{" should not be part of parameter name.
Then, what should I use as parameter name.
BTW, the web service server side code should works fine as I can test it with others client.
Thanks

Moved one step further:
I changed abit to code:
call.addParameter("myType", input,MyType.class, ParameterMode.IN);I can see the server side got SOAP request:
   <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <env:Body>
         <myType>
            <ans1:sss xmlns:ans1="http://mypackage/types/">abc</ans1:sss>
         </myType>
      </env:Body>
   </env:Envelope>As you can see, the problem in the generated request is "myType" does not have namespace
Could someone tell me how to fix it.
Thanks

Virtualization...what should i use?

Hallo.
I'm planning to virtualize a Quad core / 4gb ram. I'd like to build 2-4 virtual machines for testing some advanced features of Asterisk / MySQL and some other well known softwares. I have some licenses for Asterisk addons from digium, so i'd like to maintain them over time, using the virtual machine and moving it.
What should i use? I don't need fancy 3D Acceleration, just a common abstraction for all the hw i have (pretty standard: usb, nics, harddisks...).
I was thinking about Xen Server or Virtual Box (anyway, i'm using them for my personal lab, so i'd prefer solutions that don't require a license...).
The solution should be "headless", i don't want to be forced to login to X every time the guest systems need to be booted...
Thanks in advances.
See Ya

i've started playing around with QEMU/KVM a couple days ago, and i like it. was using vbox before, which i didn't.
i haven't noticed any mouse lag yet, after installing a few of the main distros i wanted to try out again: fedora 19, debian wheezy, ubuntu (latest, whatever the no.). only trouble i have that so far i wasn't able to get a mouse working properly in an archlinux guest probably something i'm doing wrong, but couldn't figure it out yet.
tried a few GUI frontends, but found that i'm better off starting VMs from the command line: less confusing, and all of the GUI apps i tried had some quirks, like didn't find proper directories or executables.
using KVM and virtio drivers, it's pretty fast; admittedly not as fast a bare metal install, but not slower than i remember vbox (just my impression, no benchmarking or such). assuming i'll get the arch guest trouble sorted out, i'll stick with KVM/QEMU.

Is it possible to raise the bit rate of songs higher than 256 on iTunes? If not what should i use or do to raise the bit rate of songs?

Songs you rip from CD can have their bitrate increased to a maximum of 320Kbps from the iTunes preferences; alternatively, the default encoder can be changed to a lossless one. Songs from other sources have a fixed maximum bitrate.

You can disable autoupdate by following these steps:
Go to main menu > Tools > Options > click on Advanced tab > click on Update tab and then click on the round radio button that says ''Never check for updates (not recommended: security risk)''

X.400 VS FTAM - What should be used?

Hi Gurus,
We are planning GTS Customs management and by SAP
there are 2 ways for comunicating with the customs allowed:
X.400 and FTAM
What should be used?
I know X.400, but FTAM I do not know.
Is it difficult to set up FTAM and what do we need for FTAM
and what needs to be done for FTAM?
Thanks
Regards
Dieter

From my point of view FTAM is the better solution and X.400 is old fashioned.
FTAM is faster and you don't have to pay for every call like with the X.400.
You can setup up the communication to customs via SAP PI (e.g. it.x-atlas by itelligence) and you need a FTAM router.

Does Mackeeper cause problems? What should I use instead?

I have been using Mackeeper since getting my new Macbook Pro laptop in December 2013/Jan. 2014 (OS X 10.9.4). I just now read it is not advised to use Mackeeper to 'clean' your computer, and I have since deleted it. Have I caused my computer problems by using it since I purchased it in December 2013/January 2014? What, if anything, should I use instead to help keep the system running smoothly, fast, and without issues? (i.e. malware, viruses, trojans, etc.)
This is my third Mac laptop and I've always used some type of Mackeeper cleaner; I'm somewhat lost as to what I should now do -- or if I caused my system problems.
Thanks in advance.

What, if anything, should I use instead to help keep the system running smoothly, fast, and without issues? (i.e. malware, viruses, trojans, etc.)
No so-called "cleaning" programs are necessary or beneficial.
All are capable of causing system corruption that, at an extreme, may require completely erasing your Mac and reconfiguring it from the ground up.
Keep your Mac's operating system up to date with software updates from Apple.
-- or if I caused my system problems.
That is possible. If your Mac is not performing as you think it should, describe what you're observing that is causing you concern. Please be as specific as possible - for example, is it taking a long time to launch programs? Is Safari loading web pages slowly, or not at all?
Whatever you do, if you believe something is wrong with your Mac, never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" it; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.
There are many such products and they're all scams designed for one and only one purpose - to take your money. They are very successful at that task. Once that is accomplished, their mission is complete. If your Mac subsequently behaves poorly, if your data becomes irretrievably lost, or if you just waste your time - is completely irrelevant to their true purpose.
Describe what's wrong and the experienced users on this site will help you fix it.

Problem with nvidia driver, causing system to be unusable

Hello, I've got a problem I assume with nvidia driver. My graphics card is gtx 460, here's my usual glxgears output:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16474487/noerror.png
After random amount of time (usually from 30 mins to ~2hours) something 'breaks' and here's what happens:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16474487/error.png
I've tried different desktop environments, under xfce4 it also breaks, i've been testing also nvidia-beta and nvidia-all drivers, but it won't help. After 'breaking' i must restart nvidia module, then all again is working fine.

Hey Vazz, there is a problem with the nvidia linux drivers/gtx460 hardware, but sadly it only affects a small population.
There is a thread on the nvidia support forums with many others having more or less the same problems.
Still no response from nvidia yet... In the meantime use nouveau.
