Osd_cat don't show text

Hey Guys,
some month ago i set up my laptop with a script to show battery status on screen with the idea from this forum thread. The script looks pretty much de same, I just changed the displayed values. I use osd_cat to get a slider with text on the bottom, which looks like one of those old TV volume bars. I don't have used my laptop for a while now, and after doing updates, the text won't appear any more. I also tried with different fonts and arguments, and even on my desktop system, but i wasn't able to get back the text. osd_cat don't give any error, simply don't show the text. The Slider is working perfectly. Does anyone have any idea, why? I'm running community/xosd 2.2.14-5 with on my Intel-sna-GPU. There was no update to xosd, so another package is probably the cause of this.

Hi,
I can confirm this problem: after a world update (I am from gentoo) my osd_cat does not show any text, but the slider works fine. My first idea was, that the used default font (-f, --font=FONT     Use font (default: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--*-*-*-*-c-*-*-*)) might cause the problem. Sadly, I did not find out how these font-specification works, so I am not sure if I just used a wrong parameter while testing - or if the error might be elsewhere.
In gentoo the packages prerequisite to xosd are
`--  x11-libs/xosd-2.2.14-r1  amd64
   `--  x11-libs/libX11-1.5.0  (x11-libs/libX11) amd64
   `--  x11-libs/libXext-1.3.1  (x11-libs/libXext) amd64
   `--  x11-libs/libXt-1.1.3  (x11-libs/libXt) amd64
   `--  media-fonts/font-misc-misc-1.1.2  (media-fonts/font-misc-misc) amd64
   `--  x11-proto/xineramaproto-1.2.1  (x11-proto/xineramaproto) amd64
   `--  x11-proto/xextproto-7.2.1  (x11-proto/xextproto) amd64
   `--  x11-proto/xproto-7.0.23-r1  (x11-proto/xproto) amd64
   `--  virtual/pkgconfig-0  (virtual/pkgconfig) amd64
   `--  sys-devel/automake-1.12.4  (>=sys-devel/automake-1.11.1) ~amd64
   `--  sys-devel/autoconf-2.69  (>=sys-devel/autoconf-2.68) ~amd64
   `--  sys-devel/libtool-2.4.2  (sys-devel/libtool) ~amd64
I reinstalled all these and the problem remains. So it might be a consistent error.
Did you succeed meanwhile?

  • Incoming mails don´t show text and/or http addresses but it does when replying the same mail

    Some incoming e-mails in GMail do not show the attached part that comes within the body of the mail, (text or http addresses) but when I try to alert the sender with a reply, it does show in the reply. It's embarrassing when it happens, and is too late to stop the reply.
    Apparently it only happens when I use Mozilla (which is 99% of the time) but it doesn't with Chrome.
    Thanks.

    In your question, you indicated that you are running Firefox 8. Is that correct? It might be difficult to diagnose issues with that version because most people have moved on to Firefox 12 (plus or minus 1 version). Can you upgrade?
    It's hard to think of a reason that ordinary text or links in ordinary text would not display. For embedded images or videos, one possibility is a difference in the protocol, i.e., HTTP (not secure) versus HTTPS (secure).
    Hopefully someone else will have a better guess (or actual knowledge!).
    Regarding the blue lines in a message, that usually indicates the earlier message was forwarded a few times. I don't know whether Gmail will let you reformat that area or whether you have to clean it in another application (e.g., for plain text, in Notepad) and paste it back in.

  • How do I copy text and objects from pages to and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email

    Anyone know how I copy text and objects from pages and paste into Email, objects don't show in Email, thanks

    You can't expect Mail to support all the objects of Pages which can include anything up to charts generated from spreadsheet tables.
    Even if Mail was a superset of Pages, what would the recipients who don't have either Mail or Pages, make of it?

  • I just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

    Please help me i just sync my apps from itunes to my iphone but app don't show up on my phone

    I thought I resolved it, but the problem came back! And this time, re-starting Muse didn't help.
    I was creating a vertical line to separate the sidebar from the main area, and when I extended the line down to where the footer guide is, the page started to expand and the navigation bar at the top started growing, while the links disappeared again. Now all links from the master page are again missing from every page but the master.
    When I undid it, the navbar went back to its normal depth, but the text links in it did not return.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this?
    Also, it really wasn't my intention for the navigation bar to grow vertically as the page grows. Is there a way to prevent that?

  • Safari 6 "Images" search results don't show digital storage size info anymore - Fix?

    I've now noticed, finally using Safari 6 more often now .... that when doing a google subject search (and selecting the "images" results versus the "search" results at the top header bar of Safari), that Safari 6 now only shows a huge listing the images themselves. If you slide your cursor over any of the images, a small black highlight bar appears under the image and shows its pixel dimensions  (as in 000 x 000 pixel dimentional size), but Safari 6 shows no digital size info of the image in kb's (kilobites) or posibly MB's (megebites) .... like it used to in the past.
    On previous Safari google "image" search results you saw the images, along with their pixel dimentional size (000 x 000) and their storage size ( 00kb / 00MB) listed in small text under the image.
    Is there any way to set Safari to show not only the "images" dimensions (which it now does), but also to show the images over all storge size?
    I know if you use the additional "search tools" selection text, that a sub set of selector menus appears, listing "any size", "any color", Any type" Any time" All results" .... but none of these will set "images" storage sizes (kb, MB, etc.).  Even using a "larger size" only selection setting doesn't always guarantee that a larger size only seach results will be of larger pixel quality.
    I often use Safari and google to find "comp" art images, etc. for rough art placement on projects, and it's now almost impossible to search through Safari's google "images" results without knowing what "quality size" the image can be found at.
    Any thoughts on this fix?

    Actually, as I forgot to mention .... is this above issue a Safari 6 or Google search result issue? I'm starting to think that it may be Google's "images" results that don't show the images storage size anymore, and possibly not Safari's problem.
    Either way, is there any fix to this issue ... a plug-in, etc.?

  • [JS CS3] Show Text Threads

    Does anyone know the syntax to script the View > Show Text Threads command in CS3? It seems that it should be something like:
    app.activeDocument.viewPreferences.showTextThreads
    ...but that isn't in the DOM. I can't seem to locate it. Can this be done?

    Hi Fred,<br /><br />Here's a little function which will retrieve any menu action based on it <br />name (which appears in the UI).

  • "Don't show this again" checkbox in prompt?

    All,
    So I have a few scripts that are designed to act on the currently open document.
    Some of them by nature are pretty destructive to the document because they're designed to do some crazy stuff.
    So, when the user runs the script, I'm currently presenting them with a "confirm" dialog with a blurb explaining that they should make sure to save the document before running the script (so they can always return to the previous state).
    Anyway, one of my co-workers was complaining about have to see this dialog every time they run the script, as well as some other alerts I use when there are errors.
    So, there's basically 3 dialogs the user will see:
    1. Confirm (Did you save your stuff, first?)
    2. Script Parameters (ScriptUI controls to adjust the various script settings)
    3. Success/Error messages
    Is there a way to add a "don't show this again" checkbox to the confirm modal dialog so that it would only show the first time the script is run (per session)?
    I can probably hide the Success/Error alerts by just adding a checkbox in the ScriptUI dialog, which would obviously set a variable, but in order to keep the confirm prompt from showing the next time they run the script, I would imagine I'd have to store a "cookie" type object on the users local drive? Is that possible?

    You don't need a cookie… A plain text file somewhere should do you… If you were to write in the Folder.temp directory it should be flushed at computer restart… ( or so I think not checked that )

  • Logo Component - Design mode shows the edit component toolbar don't show "Edit" button

    I just created a Logo component on my website following the CQ "How to create a Fully Featured Internet Website" guide.
    I do create the logo component, edited the jsp page with the following code
    <%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
    <%@ page import="com.day.text.Text,
                     com.day.cq.wcm.foundation.Image,
                     com.day.cq.commons.Doctype" %>
    <%  String home = Text.getAbsoluteParent(currentPage.getPath(), 2);
        Resource res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("fileReference");
        if (res == null) {
            res = currentStyle.getDefiningResource("file");
        log.error("path is:" + currentStyle.getPath());
    %>
        <a href="<%= home %>.html"> <%
        if (res == null) {
            %> Home Page <%
        }else {
            Image img = new Image(res);
            img.setItemName(Image.NN_FILE, "file");
            img.setItemName(Image.PN_REFERENCE, "fileReference");
            img.setSelector("img");
            img.setDoctype(Doctype.fromRequest(request));
            img.setAlt("Home Page");
            img.draw(out);
        %>
        </a>
    Then, I created the tag "<cg:include>" in my jsp page, calling this jsp.
    After all that, I created the Design Dialog for my logo component, then a "items" node under the tab1 node of the design dialog.
    After this, finnaly, the widget node (absParent), under the items created before.
    A lot of propertys later, I got my Logo object in the page, but the toolbar with the "Edit" button on Design mode don't show me the "Edit button" 
    Someone can tell me how to get the button there?
    Is some property that I may have forgotten?
    Thanks.

    Basically, the edit toolbar has the same with as your component, which indeed is problematic for narrow components.
    But you can work-around that with a basic CSS hack:
    .cq-editbar {
        min-width: 200px !important;
        _width: 200px !important; /* IE6 */
    This seems to be fixed in CQ 5.5.

  • Backgrounds don't show in pages from template

    I made a template with backgrounds being controled by an
    external CSS file; but when I make a page from the template, the
    bgs don't show; anyone have an idea why?
    the panel on the right sidebar
    is supposed to have a drop shadow gif repeating on the y axis
    I tried this in both an embedded style and with a style from
    an external CSS file........can't seem to see the issue. Sometimes
    I can see them locally but not when uploaded (making sure to upload
    the CSS file, too)
    Any help would be most appreciated.

    Your images are in many different directories, so I'm
    guessing you've
    simply gotten mixed up where to find the above images - or
    you actually
    did neglect to upload them to the appropriate directories.
    And the Web server, Apache/1.3.33 (Unix), is case-sensitive
