Orginally to Arch dev but to Newbs too.

Heya all Archlinux users.
About me:
First I want to let you know that I registered on the forums 2006-10-23.
Still this is my first post.
I run around 20 Oracle related servers all on solaris, mostly on the new T1 and T2  processors running LDOM
(Logical Domains).
I have been using Arch-linux since before I registered (on the forums) on my workstation at work and main home
computer and server at home. (have a laptop on archlinux due to work too.)
I worked as an Windows IT Administrator for at least 12 years before I finally decided to quit "that" hell on earth
and go the "linux way".
I do run couple of M$ servers today but they are only financials based (M$sql) and one for "Securitas" reasons.
For newcomers: "The Hard TASK" , getting into linux.
When I started my migration to the "linux world" I went the way everyone did. The most recomended,
most used, and the most pre-worked distros but I soon found out that most of it was amiss, or should I say "incomplete".
Getting your setup from a CD dosen't make it perfect.
But dont give up! Windows is that way to.
The distros I tried:
Slackware, Mandrake, Red Hat, Fedora 1-4 and then Gentoo (which I gave up on because of no knowledge)
After compiling Gentoo for days I gave up.
My next up was Ubuntu, which had the hype at the time.
After stuggling with the configuring and occational conflicts, I gave up.
My last resort was google.com.
I am not totally sure what I did lookup but I recon it was something like, "Linux, Rolling release, simple, fast".
Thats where I found Arch linux.
Today its somewhere up-top. If  you look that up on google that is.
So why am I still here:
Because I love "The Arch Way"!
Newcomers:
Dont be scared, look up the wiki. Its the best there is in the linux world.
Set up your computer and learn linux while your at it.
The Archlinux Team know what they are doing but we have to understand they have theyr hands full.
The reason I started this post orginally was not to write anything stupid noob stuff like I already did.
But only wanted to say thanks.
Thanks to the Arch-Devs, support on forums and Wiki team.
The team that makes us a community..

I recognize I was scared at first. This is because I thought I could erase the window$ on my PC and couldn't do other thing, but I just tried some virtual machines on window$ and thought it was the time; then used the core CD, but fail because of grub-issues, then gave a try to isolinux's thanks to a recommendation and it worked, spent some days getting it to work, and currently I'm happy booting to it as my normal desktop

  • Specific extractor works in DEV but not in QUAL

    Hello Everybody
    I have new problem : I created a specific extractor ZCRM_SRV_PROCESS_I based on specific FM based on RSAX_BIW_GET_DATA_SIMPLE.

    There is no problem of authorization. In RSA3 it's ok for some records but too long for full of records.
    In fact, my FM make a first select after to be determined init or delta mode :
    IF i_updmode = 'D'.
            SELECT i~guid h~object_id h~guid h~process_type
                     INTO TABLE st_zcrmt_bw_i       
                     FROM crmd_orderadm_h AS h
                     INNER JOIN crmd_orderadm_i AS i ON h~guid = i~header
                     WHERE h~object_id    IN lr_object_id
                       AND h~changed_at   >= lv_timestp
                       AND i~guid         IN lr_item_guid
                       AND ( i~product_kind <> 'X' OR  i~product_kind <> '' )
                       AND ( h~process_type = 'ZSOL'
                          OR h~process_type = 'ZSPE'
                          OR h~process_type = 'ZSVO'
                          OR h~process_type = 'ZSVT' ).
          ELSE.
            SELECT i~guid h~object_id h~guid h~process_type
                     INTO TABLE st_zcrmt_bw_i         "PACKAGE SIZE I_MAXSIZE
                     FROM crmd_orderadm_h AS h
                     INNER JOIN crmd_orderadm_i AS i ON h~guid = i~header
    *                 UP TO I_MAXSIZE ROWS
                     WHERE h~object_id    IN lr_object_id
                       AND i~guid         IN lr_item_guid
                       AND ( i~product_kind <> 'X' OR  i~product_kind <> '' )
                       AND ( h~process_type = 'ZSOL'
                          OR h~process_type = 'ZSPE'
                          OR h~process_type = 'ZSVO'
                          OR h~process_type = 'ZSVT' ).
          ENDIF.
    Then FM CRM_ORDER_READ is running for 500 records to retrieve header data :
    CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ORDER_READ'
        EXPORTING
          iv_no_auth_check     = abap_true
          it_header_guid       = it_guids      "500 records
          it_requested_objects = lt_requested_objects
        IMPORTING
          et_orderadm_h        = lt_orderadm_h
          et_service_os        = lt_service_os.
    Then this FM is running for 10 records for item data (max 10 because FM CRM_ORDER_READ does not work for more records) :
    CALL FUNCTION 'CRM_ORDER_READ'
        EXPORTING
          iv_only_spec_items   = abap_true
          it_item_guid         = it_guids         "10 records
          it_requested_objects = lt_requested_objects
        IMPORTING
          et_orderadm_i        = lt_orderadm_i
          et_sales             = lt_sales
          et_appointment       = lt_appointment
          et_status            = lt_status
          et_text              = lt_text
          et_subject           = lt_subject
          et_doc_flow          = lt_doc_flow
          et_customer_i        = lt_customer_i
    Perhaps if I succeeded to improve SELECT & call of CRM_ORDER_READ, it would be better but I don't know how to do...

  • HT1766 I broke my screen and the phone is only a little over a month!  Is there an option that is less than getting a new phone?  We bought a replacement but it's too complicated.

    I broke the screen to my new iPhone 4s and we purchased a new screen online but it is too complicated to install.  Any solutions you can provide that won't be too expensive?

    You can get it replaced at the Apple Store Genius Bar for far less than the retail cost for replacement.
    So the user won't have to pay the retail cost for a replacement if they get it replaced?
    You mean they won't have to pay the price for a new phone to replace the broken phone with a refurbished phone thru Apple.

  • Custom bsp Iviews work in dev but not in qas?

    Hi All,
    We're using R/3 4.7, ESS 50.4, MSS 60.1.20.
    We have developed a number of custom bsp iviews that work perfectly fine in dev but when we transported to qas, no data is displayed.  The labels in the bsp are being displayed so we know that the bsp is working.
    We use epcf to listen for the employee number in the bsp's.  It is configured the same in both dev and qas but in qas the bsp is not picking up the employee number and therefore is displaying no data.  When you click on susbequest employees in the team viewer, nothing happens (bsp should reload).
    The only difference is that the portal dev and the bsp's reside on the same server but when we go to portal qas, it is now on a different server to the bsp.  We have relaxed the domain, so that the server name has been removed from the domain name but still to no avail.
    If anyone can help at all, i'd really appreciate it, as i'm at a loss as to what to do next.
    Many thanks,
    Liz.

    Hi,
    Seems that there is:
    1. something wrong with the System Object or it's definition..
    OR
    2. someone used a server/hostname as a "constant" instead of a "variable"
    OR
    3. the Portal and Backend are not in the same domain or the configuration is not with Fully Qualified Domain Name
    Hope this helps you to narrow it down or even find the issue.
    Good Luck,

  • In KSB1 one of the field is showing up in DEV but not in QA or PRD

    Hello,
    One of the standard field which is showing up in DEV but not in QA or PRD. After excuting a transaction KSB1, One can change the layout and add or hide a field from a given options. We can see that field in DEV, but not in QA and PRD.  This is a standard report and  we checked in table v_tkalv, it is same in DEV and QA
    Thanks for your help
    Rick

    I don't have access to a 6.0 system at the minute, but I'm pretty sure order isn't a standard field in KSB1.  It would be in KOB1, of course, but the K*B1 transactions are for displaying actual line items recorded on various kinds of cost objects.
    In the reporting scenario, how's the order factor in?  Did it receive statistical postings, or something?

  • Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but

    Making a interactive PDF from indesign, but it's too big. Tried to reduce file size in Acrobat, but it does not reduce file size.

    Use the Optimize PDF command in Acrobat, it gives you more control. I think it's under the Advanced menu in Acrobat 9 Pro and File > Save As > Optimized PDF in Acrobat X Pro.
    You might try playing around with different settings. You can also click the Audit Space button at the upper right to see if its from images or other things causing the file size problem.
    Unfortunately, InDesign doesn't write interactivity in a very optimized way. You get better results with buttons, for example, creating them in Acrobat Pro and using the Duplicate command to duplicate them across multiple pages.

  • I am using Pages to print addresses but they  print too low on the envelope. How do I change this?

    I am using Pages to print addresses but they  print too low on the envelope. How do I change this?
    Help please!!!
    ANN

    Hi Isk8ter,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    What version of Pages are you working with?  I'm assuming '09 since you reference OS X 10.7.4 above.
    I've included the link to the Pages User Manual for you below.
    Page 253 starts the chapter on Printing, Shareing and Exporting your document.
    Pages '09 User Manual
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA663/en_US/Pages09_UserGuide.pdf
    Setting the Paper Size and Orientation
    Before you print, you should make sure the paper size and orientation are set the way you want by opening the Page Setup dialog.
    To set paper size and orientation:
    1 Choose File > Page Setup.
    2 In the Page Setup dialog, choose the printer you will use from the “Format for” popup
    menu.
    3 Choose a standard paper size from the Paper Size pop-up menu.
    Also, see page 266 of the Pages User Manual for more specific instructions for creating a custom template for envelopes.
    Hope this helps ...

  • Select query not working in Dev but working in QA and PRD

    Hi All,
    I have a select query with inner join which is not working in the DEV but working in QA and PRD. Anyone has any idea why is it happening, I think it to be a basis issue. Just want to confirm if anyone has any other idea.
    Thanks in advance,
    Barjinder Singh.

    Hi Barjinder Singh,
    In development you can't find the records for the table.
    In testing system only you can test even the program(report).
    If it is the DEV system you can't get the data.
    Go and see into the table wether it has records or not(in DEV system).
    It doesn't has the records in DEV system.

  • Finished my composition but it's too big, I need to scale to a fixed height and width - help?

    Hi everyone,
    This is quite urgent - I've finished my project in Edge Animate, but it is too large and needs to be scaled down. I tried to place it in a separate DIV element in the HTML and scale it down with the CSS but this doesn't work.
    I want to scale it from the 1024px wide it currently is down to a fixed width of 800px. Can anyone help me do this? All of the tutorials I have found are to do with making the composition responsive to the user resizing the browser, and this isn't what I need at the moment.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

    Can you explain a bit further what you need this for? Are you just trying to center the Stage on your page?
    Asking because when writing out this script I ran into some weird browser issues setting the transform origin to the center (IE and FF IIRC). You can give it a shot though by changing the transform origin in the code to:
    “transform-origin”:”50% 0″, (for all prefixed instances)
    Not guaranteeing results, but you can try

  • Business system not in dev but in QA

    Hi,
    we have a scenario where  ECC sends a message to PI which sends a web service request out to a provider.
    We have a only 1 ECC system in DEV but 2 ECC systems in QA ... one for QA and 1 for training.
    Now we want both ECC systems to be able to send messages to the same PI system in QA and PI has to route the request to the right web service provider. How can we configure this in DEV and transport if there is only 1 ECC system in DEV ?
    Is there a way to create a virtual business system for training in DEV (I.E no technical system) and then configure with this system in DEV and then transport in QA where the real training system is... that is , the one which has a technical system.
    Thanks.

    Hi Thierry
    For QA ECC 1
    1) Export full SDL from DEV to QA.
    2) Create T.S & B.S for QA ECC 1.
    3) Create Tranport Group & provide Transport Target in QA SLD for Dev B.S.
        This will automatically convert your dev B.S to QA B.S in Configuration .
    4) Import all objects in IR & ID.
    For QA ECC 2.
    1) Create New Business system for Training ECC in QA SLD.
    2) Since we can't give 2 trasport targets for 1 dev B.S, you have create a new configuration scenario and import your new B.S .
    3) You have to do seperate configuration for sender B.S as your new B.S
    4) your I.R objects will be same for both configuration.
    Also Import the idoc metadata from both ECC in IDX2.
    When an idoc is triggred from ECC1 or ECC2 in QA, it will use the same mapping and data will be transfered to Target system.

  • Love Aperture 3's new features, but finding it too slow to be usable.

    About a year ago I took on photography as a serious hobby, and have been looking for a good photo management program. I have a Nikon D300s camera and started with the nView software, before upgrading to Photoshop CS4. Bridge was fast, but a bit too utilitarian for my liking so I began looking into alternatives like Lightroom 3 and Aperture 3. My goal is to find a program that is quick, responsive, and capable of performing the majority of my basic editing, while allowing me to maintain a nicely organized photo library. I shoot in the .RAW format and have about 7k photos in a referenced library. I have installed all system updates, including the prokit update.
    So as the title suggest, I love almost everything about the new Aperture. Its interface is beautiful, photo organization is a snap, and it has some very powerful editing tools. That being said, it is unbearably slow. Brush edits can take up to 3-5 minutes to show, while the brush tool tip chunks around the screen. Even showing the color overlay can take a few minutes. Zooming into a photo can also take upwards to 2-3 minutes. If I have made more then a few adjustments, toggling them on and off can take a minute or longer.
    During these delays, I don't get a beach balls, but my computer slows to a crawl. According to Apertures activity center it is "processing." Some times it is so many processes behind, that I wonder if it is processing adjustments that I have already changed. Bringing up the activity monitor usually shows that cpu usage is 40% or below, with Aperture rarely taking more than 2.5gb of RAM.
    I have tried all the tricks I have read about online, faces off, places off, preview sized maxed out, preview size minimized, prokit update, deleting cache files, starting new libraries with fewer pictures, and creating Steve Jobs effigies to place around the office. It feels like I have tried it all. I am even willing to format my computer and start from scratch, even though everything but aperture runs great.
    My trial is about to run out again and I am just so frustrated. I want to buy this program, but at the moment the lightroom 3 beta runs circles around it performance wise. Is there anything I haven't tried that might make Aperture useable?

    I share your frustration.
    I am in love with Aperture's features, its workflow, and its OS integration. But I can't live with its behavior. I postponed my final decision to put Aperture on the shelf until this week, when my new MacBook Pro arrived. I bought the latest model, Core i7, 8GB RAM, 1TB HD. I have 700MB of free space on my new HD, and there is no fragmentation. You could say that I have about as snappy a system as Apple makes these days.
    Using A3 on this system is generally OK. But working with the retouching brush, while a lightyear better than my late 2008 MacBook Pro, is still dreadful. I want to use the retouching brush to remove blemishes and wrinkles from photos of women. This usually requires lots of small brush strokes. After the first few brush strokes, A3 slows down to the point of frustration. It takes about 20 seconds for the effects of the brush stroke to appear, which makes it not a productive use of my time.
    I don't understand the constant need for Aperture to be "processing" something in the Activity window, but I've learned that when it's processing, you can't really get anything else done.
    Exporting versions to disk is the final indignity. It's usually the last thing I do before quitting a session in Aperture. Yesterday, I wanted to export two retouched files to JPG for an email proof. This took several minutes for my MBP to complete. Lightroom's beta version completes the task in a few seconds.
    Inexcusably bad performance on my high end hardware.
    Sorry Aperture, but I'm back to Lightroom and Photoshop. I'll check back when Apple releases Aperture 3.1 and hope they figure this out.

  • HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?

    HELP! Can I retrieve my previous session? I only just ticked the "open with previous session" preference but it seems too late! Can I still get the old pages/tabs I had open?

    That could be a problem, unfortunately.
    But most likely the pages you were on are stored in the History list. Try pressing Cmd+Shift+H to get the History window.
    To help prevent this from happening to you again in the future, I can recommend the extension [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2324/ Session Manager]. It is quite powerful but may not be able to help you any more than the History at this point.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help more users with similar problems.
