Openbox+FBpanel+wbar+conky: total disaster at startup

I've been tinkering with openbox for a few days and love how can I tweak everything. I first installed pypanel, and had problems at startup (error 957), so started looking for other panels and found fbpanel to be very good. However, when i put it inthe autostart.sh it seems to crash openbox.
it says something about error 11. and openbox only starts good when using conky only
just in case you need it
MY autostart.sh
#Number Lock
numlockx & sleep 1 &&
fbpanel &
#Background Manager
feh --bg-scale /home/eggie/cave.jpg &
#Conky

HT202879 new numbers version is a total disaster.... unbelievable ...

New numbers is a total disaster...
I don't know who was the project manager of this new edition but He or She has apparently never been involved into business...
Spending so much time and finally realizing that some major features have actually and simply disappeared...
To split a cell is now unpossible... to just add the footnote of your sheet is not possible ... etc...
waow I am impressed by such a mess up...

Erik,
I doubt if any of us here on the forum has any meaningful data to support or refute a statement that "most of us agree" that Numbers 3 is a "disaster" or "backwards." Different people use an application in different ways, and I would guess recently there a lot of new people trying it out now because it is now free.
The new Numbers is a *huge* improvement for businesses that want to do data entry on mobile and have it sync back to the Mac or that want some degree of on-line collaboration. The old Numbers was unfortunately crippled in those key areas of productivity enhancement.
The new Numbers is not as good as the old Numbers for people whose spreadsheet use is geared toward traditional printing of highly formatted documents, or who have become heavily attached to some of the niche features in the old version (though there are many workarounds).
The fact that the new Numbers does not implement splitting of cells is arguably a good thing. That encourages good spreadsheet design. Splitting and merging cells spells trouble. There are always ways to achieve the same effect in other ways.

Home move total disaster...losing the will to live

Moved house 4 weeks ago and the BT move was a total disaster. I currently have a neighbours land line to my BT Acccount as well as my own. I can see all the calls they make, and I am being billed for them. I also have their Infinity attached to my account instead of my own....spent the last 4 weeks trying to get this sorted, but I end up spending hours on hold and nothing seems to get done. I've had to use my mobile and it has cost a fortune in call charges. I've taken three days leave for the engineer not to turn up.
Anyone in BT able to help....?

Total disaster enviroment recovery

Hello
I need to simulate a total disaster enviroment but I don´t know the way to recovery.
I.ve Oracle 9i on W2003.
Each night, I´m doing a full export of the database.
Additionaly, I´ve database cataloged in RMAN, and I´m doing a level 0 backup weekly, a level 1 backup daily and archivelog backup daily too.
In the suposed case of a disaster in the server, I will need to restore database in another server wiht the full export database and rman backups...
Is this pssible? Can somebody show me the way?

Alex. :)
What is the correct SID of your target database ? I doubt it is mydb ...
..and even if it is ,i think this is not what's bothering you.
You main problem with this failed connection tryouts lays withing the target database that is not located on the server from where you are executing that
'rman target sys/rman catalog rman/rman@catrman' command.
One of the prerequest for this command to succeed is to have target database localy, and it seems this is not the case in your situation. Your target database appears to be remote.
Here is the same error on windows, when trying to connect to the target database that is located on the remote server:
checking to see ORACLE_SID variable settings...
C:\>echo %ORACLE_SID%
%ORACLE_SID%it's not set

ITunes 11.0.1.12 is a total disaster, how do I find the previous version?

iTunes 11.0.1.12 is a total disaster. How do I find the previous version?

You can restore much of the look & feel of the previous version with these shortcuts:
Ctrl-B to turn on the menu bar.
Ctrl-S to turn on the sidebar.
Ctrl-/ to turn on the status bar.
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the previous search behaviour.
You can also open the menu bar temporarily by pressing Alt.
To roll back to iTunes 10.7 first download a copy of the 32 bit installer or 64 bit installer as appropriate, uninstall iTunes and supporting software, i.e. Apple Application Support & Apple Mobile Device Support. Reboot. Restore the pre-upgrade version of your library database as per the diagram below, then install iTunes 10.7.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to scan the media folder and catch up with any changes made since the backup file was created.

[solved]Openbox margins and Conky

I have a 1 line conky that i want to remain at the top of my screen at all times. I set up a margin in openbox to leave enough pixels at the top to comfortably fit the conky. The problem is that when i first boot to my desktop conky is placed below the margin. If i restart X however conky is right where i want it in the margin. Does anyone know how to put conky in the right place the first time?
.conkyrc is setup for top_left placement and theres only a few pixels on the y axis from the top.
I call conky from .xinitrc before openbox
I can't think of any other relevant info but let me know!

First, get rid of the "antivirus update". This will definitely slow down your system and will probably **** it up. Also, you don't need it.
Delete all anti-virus software, and related files, from your system, if possible using the "uninstall" facility that hopefully came as part of your anti-virus package.
Then restart your computer and see if things have improved, which I'm sure they will.

Openbox + xcompmgr + urxvt + conky = :), except for one thing

I've got the setup listed in the subject, apart from one caveat. I cannot seem to find a way to remove drop shadows from Orage. I'm sure there's some way to make xcompmgr (or all compositing) ignore specific windows, and I'm trying to find that so I can set it for Orage. Another solution would be to lower the 'level' of the orage or raise conky's 'level' so that Orage's shadow doesn't cover up conky. I've attached a picture of what I mean and what specifically I want to get rid of.
Also, one more question, I made a nice login screen that I want to make a theme out of, but SLiM starts in 800x600, so it wouldn't work very well . It uses the top banner of the Arch site, so idk if it's 100% cool to post the background image here, but a mod can delete it if necessary. Anyway, how do I get SLiM to load the proper display size so that this is not a problem? I know my size, but it would be preferable if I could load VMWare-user along with SLiM so that it sets the display size automagically. Only issue is that cmware-user is not suppose to be run as a daemon to my knowledge, and especially not as root.

Not sure if this is entirely what you want, but from the xcompmgr manpage:
-C When -c is specified, attempts to avoid painting shadows on panels and docks.
So try it with a capital C as well?
As for the SLIM question, I don't know, sorry.

After a month of usage, Helix has been a total disaster to me.

I bought Helix 16th of last month. It was the first day of release of Helix in Korea. I made a payment on 16th, and recieved the package on 17th.
The first one had a failing battery, and I had to replace it from the day one. Strangely these things happened to me quite often before, so I just thought **bleep** happened and went over it.
During the first weekend, My new Helix started to develop strange symptom. it had a ghost touch on the middle of the screen. At first it happened when I was holding it with my one hand. In-spec, only a **bleep**ty engineering, I thought at first, but over the weekend it developed and by tuesday it was virtually unusable. I sent in the device again, and I had it replaced for the second time. After 2 weeks of usage(a very frustrating one, due to those KB battery failure issues and crashing OSs), the phantom touch came back, this time, even worse.
I sent in my new machine earlier this week. They said they couldn't get me a replacement anymore, because I had it for over a month already(It was a month and a day, and that day had to be delayed because the previous day was f*****g sunday. BTW, I had it for two weeks, the rest of the time you guys had it.). They did offer a repair, and the replacement part was also defective, and had to be ordered again. Now I am even starting to forget that I even had a Helix at all.
I purchased 3Years TPP warranty, and I bought LCD protection film for every Helixs I got. The transportation cost to service center and for replacements weren't cheap(I wanted to get things solved fast and used quick courier services. Never knew I was only calling for other problems every single time). I think I spent like additional 500 dollars on this machine, only to get more and more frustration over time. I don't think I can handle this in-service-for-a-month-for-two-weeks-of-usage for the next three years, and I decided to bail out. As soon as I get the repaired machine, I am going to sell it. Of course it won't get payed well,(who would want to buy a used and repaired machine?) and I will probably lose enough money to buy another laptop. but I think it will save me a hell lot of money in the end.
I've been always on the defending side when people were complaining that Lenovo is destroying ThinkPad values, and I was a tenacious one. But only after a course of a month, I think I'll turn to the other side. It's never an easy thing to change a person's stance, and Lenovo sure proved they could.
If you cannot convince a user to stop leaving his old laptop in his office as a backup for the new machine, it doesn't quite qualify as a business machine. You don't even have to say if he actually had to use that Backup, and even more so if he had to use that backup more than the new one.
To anyone who is keeping the Helix, good luck, and god bless you.

I don't know...but considering the massive number of complaints on malfunctioning Helixs on this forum, I don't think anyone could dare to be 100% sure that one will get a perfect Helix.
In my case, I decided to Give up on Helix and wait for...I don't know, X240T, maybe? Thinking of the limited options when looking for a device with high-res display and a Wacom digitizer, I don't think I could be able to make up my mind anytime soon. This I can be sure about, however: Lenovo will never have any advantages over all other makers in my list from this time on(yeah, that list include those cheap makers that stamp out dispensable laptops like Haier, or Hasee.)
In general, ThinkPad Helix is a good example of a tragic outcome of solid concept that cannot possibly fail(i7 processor with 8GB ram, with Wacom Digitizer, a KB dock with battery, and you can even flip the docking direction. How could it fail?), that has met with a horrible, horrible execution.
If Lenovo was trying to present their idea of ThinkPad's new DNA through the Helix, then their Double Helix is nothing but a pitifully deformed, inferior one that will not survive the natural selection.

Anyone else having reset loop issues with ipad or ipad mini after IOS 7.02 update ? Based on my research it looks like this release is a total disaster for a lot of users. Locking up phones and ipads. Hopefully 7.03 will fix this mess.

My Ipad mini is in a constant reset loop since 7.02 upgrade. Did a full recover twice to Factory setting thru Itunes. That did not work. Any thoughts on this release and it's implications. Looks like many people are having the same issues.

Hi gruhland,
Thanks for your reply. It sounds like your device is actually in a restart loop, which is different from the process of a soft reset. Specifically, what I wanted you to try is this:
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If resetting does not break the restart loop, it sounds like a different direction may be warranted here. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more assistance by using another one of Apple's support resources:

Take care,

Project appears fine in preview, exporting is a total disaster.

My 5 minute project looks fine in preview, but when I export it, I get stuttering between 2 frames, and this is repeated intermitently throughout (same couple of frames). If I switch to another project and export, that project uses some of the footage from the 5 minute thing I'm trying to finish. Older projects (from before today) export okay. The thing I did today was imported footage from a Sony camcorder that was AVCHD. That's the only thing I can pin it on. Moving that footage and the project it was associated with has not helped any.
Between other export issues (it often takes me several attempts, including restarting) and then re-fixing my TITLES, this software (coming from a complete novice) feels like a beta release.

I assume so (my expertise is more in sound than video, though I used to work alongside a video editor, so I'm not completely ignorant!). Though I'm not sure what you'd call the larger scale effect that looks like the image is being projected on slats. Anyway, here's screen grabs of 3 versions, the 2 newer one (after the re-importing) on the left. You'll notice that the lower image is still not exactly great. Again, all of this looks fine in the Viewer, before exporting.
Viewer appearances - that would be the Show Both Fields option? ... Ah yes, that looks bad. So what should I be doing about that? (Or where in the manual does it talk about that?)
Is that something I should have set on the camera? I notice there's no deInterleave option in the FCPX Share items - so how does someone who doesn't have compressor deal with this?
Thanks for your help,
David

10.4.6 + InDesign CS2 = Total Disaster. PLEASE HELP.

After installing 10.4.6 my Adobe InDesign CS2 no longer works. It crashes every time I start it up. I've repaired permissions, cleared caches and troubleshooted the system fonts folder. No luck. PLEASE HELP. I'm missing deadlines, losing money and sweating bullets.
I can't believe Apple wouldn't test this update on all Adobe Design Apps and end up alienating their core audience. Shocking.
Any advice or fix for this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
G5 Dual Core 2.3 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The one thing you should have done was create a clone of your system hard drive on a firewire external disk, then you could have booted from that and kept working then returned to deal with the 10.4.6 problems later when deadlines aren't looming. Remember that for next time.
There should be no problem running IDCS2 in 10.4.6, something else is wrong. Get Disk Warrior and run repairs.
If necessary do an Archive and Install of Tiger, then a full update to 10.4.6 (Repairing Permissions before and after everything), then reinstall InDesign (test InDesign after the Archive and Install first, it might be fixed just from that). This is practically a sure thing so if deadlines are getting tight you might just want to go right for this instead of messing around with other fixes first.
And whatever you do get an external firewire drive and SuperDuper! and make a clone of your drive so everything is backed up and you always have a fail-safe system to fall back on.

Logic+Liquid Mix + SSL + BFD + Amplitube2 + Ivory + AT5 = a total disaster!

Is anybody else using Logic with Waves SSL, Ivory, BFD (all), Amplitube 2, AutoTune 5 and Liquid Mix (or any combination of these) on a Mac Pro? For some reason, I am getting a corrupted preference file, that crashes Logic every time I try to do anything, from Bouncing, Freezing even Saving (or Save as)! What is going on! I've tried going through and turning each plugin off, but it still happens. I'm using the most up to date versions of everything, and when I trash the prefs, run disk utility and start up again, it's fine for a bit, but then it all goes wrong! I can't replicate the problem every time, it seems a bit random as to when and how it goes wrong. Sometimes it's fine for an hour or so, other times immediately after I trash prefs and start up again. I was wondering if anyone else had any similar issues, and whether it was down to this combination of plug-ins that caused it, or something else entirely. Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Ben

I have already tried all that, starting with the Disk check, then the RAM check. I have trashed preferences, and tried putting in each new plug. what it appears is that each plug is ok on it's own, but as soon as you combine them, weird things start to happen! As I stated in the first post, the problem can't be replicated every time. Sometimes the problem is reolved after trashing prefs, sometimes not. Sometimes it is fine for an hour, and when you do something normal, like adding tracks to a group, it crashes. Other times the system performance hits the roof when doing nothing. I have 5 GB of RAM, and some is running through the liquid mix, so I can't see how i am maxing anything out. This has happened on a professional mix for a known artist, and I have lost several days on this. I have tried everything I know, even going back to earlier versions of the track, but still bad things happen. Obviously I can't trash this song, so I need a way round it. If the liquid mix isn't on, the project won't open, but I feel there is a conflict between that and something else (perhaps Ivory or BFD). However, I have mixed several tracks in the last 2 weeks in this way, and they were all fine. Maybe I'm pushing it harder on this track...Any suggestions?

Updating a total disaster

So Adobe just forwards everyone into these forums. Well I was trying to reach them directly without finding that option, so let me went out on simple issue here publicly. When updating adobe I had to close my browser with all the tabs & windows. Ones updating was done Adobe had defined to open my browser. Thus I lost all the work and research sites I had opened. Some of which are hard to find in the history.
SO next time I will not update Adobe and will make sure not to touch it's utilities other than what I absolutely have to.
Simple think impacting my work disastrously. Simple to think and fix, if someone at ADOBE bothered.
Well then agin they do not bother hearing these complaints directly from customers, but rather let us went here in forums.

Well, you are making your own point: Your post is merely a "complaint" or rant and those never get anyone's attention. If you have specific issues, you have to explain them, otherwise there really is no point to this. The rest is unrelated to Adobe. All modern browsers have auto-recovery options to open the last active tabs and well, if this really is so critical, then there's those cute little things called bookmarks that even the Netscape browser already had back then in 1997 or so...

T400 = Total Disaster

To all community members!
I always thought "once you get ThinkPad you can never turn back". This was in the old IBM days.
The T400 I got a couple of weeks ago contains following errors:
1. Access connection cannot hold a connection for more than 1-2 minutes and then turning from 54, 36, 24, 8, 4, 2, 1 Mb/s and then disconnects. I've updated the drivers as suggested and also changed settings on accepted wireless settings a/b/g. All this without any changes
2. GPS functionality doesn't work. The GPS software cannot connect from the application to show location. No solution found
3. Locking Windows XP makes requires me to hard-reset the computer and start again. The unlock window doesn't appear.
4. Rescue and Recovery doesn't work. The rescue and old saved version hangs the rescue by 0%
5. Identifying the product with Lenovo support site is not working. The product: 2765-31G doesn't exists according to the Lenovo database.
All these issues are far to many to find in a new product. I recommend that this product is recalled and replaced with one that actually works.
To my fortune, I still have my old T60 with me and can still work.
Lenovo is a big disappointment and I recommend other potential buyers to look into another brand.

I've been working with product development in the IT sector for 10 years and I can definitely state that this is just a result of very poor product development and testing.
Thanks for the advice to get a little bit better situation. However, this is funcationality that I've paid for and they are not working properly if I need to disable or download a partial fix.
I assume that this is just the top of the iceberg. If you are using the computer for a period of time you will experince more and more problems.
The wireless access connection problem in a new computer is a typical sign for a bigger problem. This is a typical test case and failing to make sure that this is not working is like selling a car without making sure that the qualitiy of headlights works in 100% of the cases.
Lenovo also refuses to take the computer back and give me the money back and I will not recommend any of my customers (up to 5k people) to ever look into buying a computer from this company.
