Package group - change default/saved choice

Hello,
While setting up a new system I installed chromium. As a dependency I had to make a choice from a package group called 'ttf-font'. I didn't think much and chose the first in the list (default 1) which was 'ttf-dejavu'.
I removed chromium with its dependencies, including 'ttf-dejavu'. I explicitly installed 'ttf-bitstream-vera', then chromium again without being prompt for 'ttf-font' dependency, all fine. But then I installed mplayer and pacman pulled 'ttf-dejavu' again, no prompt, I don't understand why.
Since I made that choice it has been somehow stored as my default ttf-font with pacman. Whenever I install another package which depends on a member of 'ttf-font', pacman automatically pulls 'ttf-dejavu' again, even if I am using another font package already.
How can I change my default choice for 'ttf font'? Where does pacman store the choice I made earlier? If I re-install the package the prompt for 'ttf-font' just wont show up again.
Can someone explain to me what is happening here?

mplayer depends on ttf-dejavu directly, while chromium depends on the ttf-font group.  The old way was to simply depend on ttf-dejavu as it satisfied the need for a font in X.  But after a while it was realized that the number of choices to satisfy that font dependency had grown, and there were quite a few.  As such, the ttf-font group was created instead, and all the ttf fonts are put into that group.
I would imagine that the mplayer package either hasn't been updated since then, or the maintainer simply forgot to change that dep.  This is probably something you might want to install a bug report for.
I don't think that people really need a whole hell of a lot of fonts, but do you really want to have just a single ttf font package on your system?  I mean, do you really have issues with having more than one font package, or is this simply a curiousity?

  • Changing default saving directory

    Using AA pro 7, win XP home and Mozilla firefox browser. Is there a way of changing the directory for saving PDF files?
    Right now it is c:\windows\Temp. And it always comes back to this directory. If I use MS IE browser then the directory that comes up is the last one I used.
    Is there a fix for this? Thanks, joeZy

    I added a shortcut in the "Save As" box - the one that lists Desktop, My Documents, etc down the side. That way, it's one simple click right in the "Save As" dialog box.
    This works for Firefox as well as the main program (Adobe Acrobat Pro (version 9) in my case), in Windows XP (my operating system) and reportedly in Vista as well.
    Here's the link, which you may need to copy and paste:
    http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/28/how-to-set-custom-shortcuts-in-the-windows-xp-save-as -dialog-box/
    You may need to get a system administrator to do this if you don't have sufficient access rights. You should also note that this will also likely affect other programs as well (which I haven't yet confirmed), which may be either good or bad depending on where you tend to store things.

  • Change Default purchasing group in requisition

    Hi,
    I have a purhcasing group X populated  from info record while creating the requisitions using ME51N.

    System doesnot allow to change the default purcasing group.
    How can i get rid of this ??

    I do not get any error . If in place of original purchasing group (which is defaulted from Info record) , i write new purchasing group then while saving system again changes it back to the original purchasing group.
    I should be able to change the pur. group as i want. But system doens't allow that.
    What can be the reason ??

  • Qustions about Package "Groups"

    Hello,
    I have some general questions about package "groups" in Pacman. Mainly, I'm curious about who is responsible for deciding when a group will be made and what packages will be included. For example, I type in "pacman -S gnome" and get this:
    gnome package not found, searching for group...
    :: group gnome (including ignored packages):
    epiphany gnome-applets gnome-backgrounds gnome-control-center
    gnome-desktop gnome-icon-theme gnome-media gnome-mime-data gnome-mount
    gnome-panel gnome-screensaver gnome-session gnome-settings-daemon
    gnome-themes gnome2-user-docs libgail-gnome metacity nautilus
    notification-daemon yelp
    :: Install whole content? [Y/n]
    Who decides what all those packages will be? Is there a place where users can provide input about what should be included? I realize a big part of package groups by be simply ease of dependecy managent, but it seems it would be a useful tool for users to get a system up and running quickly. For example, there are several basic things that one would need to get a usable "desktop" up and running (not counting the WM or DM). For example, xorg, alsa, etc.
    I understand that Arch is all about simplicity and building a system from the ground up, which I totally love, but many of us are still going to have the same core goals in mind when setting up a "desktop" system.  We're all going to need xorg, want sound, desire pretty fonts, and have some common useful apps. So, for anyone that falls into that category, a package group called something like "arch-desktop" could include some of these core components. We could even eventually have additional groups tailored towards specific DMs like "arch-desktop-xfce" or "arch-desktop-gnome".
    Now, I realize I've totally spun this specifically for this propsed "arch-desktop" group but I guess my main point was to find out where one could provide official input for such things.
    Thanks!

    Since pacman will resolve all dependencies, all you need is to do a
    # pacman -Syu
    # pacman -S gnome
    after a core-install. Everything else you would need, could be clutter to someone else. I don't believe there is something as a 'sane default of packages'. Maybe if you're a fan of a particular windowmanager, then you might be interested in what the majority uses for a panel, a taskbar, a background-image-viewer, but also then there are so many choices and personal preferences that everyone could make his or her own group of packages.

  • How to change default compile directory tmp_ejb?

    Dear all,
    Someone knows how to change the default directory "tmp_ejb...." in WebLogic Server
    7.0?
    This is the default directory where WebLogic Server 7.0 generates and compiles
    the EJB's declared in config.xml.
    I try to specify the attribute TmpPath="ANOTHER_TMP_LOCATION_DIRECTORY_FOR_EJB"
    in the EJBContainer node but still doesn't work.
    The same thing happens when I test this attribute on EJBComponent declaration.
    Someone knows if there is an enviroment variable that specify this tmp_ejb location
    path?
    It's false that the tmp_ejb is located where the config.xml file is placed.
    I have 3 weblogic servers and they haven't the same behaviour.
    Someone can help me??????
    Thanks.

    I ran into the same problem and was wondering if you got an aswer the question you posted in BEA's news group: "How to change default compile directory tmp_ejb?

  • Page numbering property changes not saved

    When I change default values for the Page Numbering property to include main section only, my values are not maintained if I close the report (after saving it of course !...).
    Then, if I launch my report via a report server, the total pages number is incorrect.
    But, if I change default values and I launch my report directly via Reports Builder, it works fine, until I save & close it.
    I have a TOC in my header section, and I want to retrieve the total pages number for my Main section only. I use SRW.SET_FORMAT_ORDER to execute the header section AFTER the main section to fill the TOC. Then, the total pages number retrieves ALL pages (header section + main section).
    Can somebody help me ?

  • Creating Info-Package Groups

    Hi All,
    We are running a Job through Process chain. But due to some bug it is taking 4 Hrs to complete. We tried executing the Info-Packages manually. It completed with in 30 Mins. So we are planning to create IP group to trigger that Job instead of through Process chain.
    Can you please explain how to create the Info Package Group and how to include info packeges in to the IP Group.
    After creating IP group we have to schedule a Job to trigger this IP group which inturn triggers the Info packages.
    If possible please explain the steps for the above process.
    Million of thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Procedure to create InfoPackage Group
    Go to InfoSource tree in modeling of the Administrator Workbench and choose in the standard toolbar of the right area of the screen  Show InfoPackage Group.
    On the right-hand side of the screen, you will see the InfoPackage group tree.
    Highlight a node of the InfoPackage group tree and create a new InfoPackage group using the context menu (right mouse click). This is always inserted underneath the highlighted node.
    Select an InfoPackage (in the InfoSource tree in the middle area of the screen) that you want to transfer to the InfoPackage group and move it into the InfoPackage group you want by using drag & drop.
    You can assign as many InfoPackages as you like to an InfoPackage group.
    InfoPackages with the same selection conditions, same assignment for combination of InfoSource / DataSource / source system, same data type (transaction data or master data), and same data target cannot be assigned to the same InfoPackage group.
    Alternatively to the above procedure, you can also create an InfoPackage group in the monitoring view of the Administrator Workbench. However, in this view it is not possible to insert InfoPackages into the InfoPackage Group.
    You have created an InfoPackage group and have inserted InfoPackages into the InfoPackage group. You can now
    Scheduling an InfoPackage Group
    Choose Show InfoPackage Groups in the InfoSource tree of the Administrator Workbench – Modeling, or choose the InfoPackages view in Monitoring of the AWB.
    Select an InfoPackage group from the InfoPackage group tree and choose Schedule.
    You arrive in the scheduler (InfoPackage group maintenance) with the InfoPackages and Scheduling tab pages.
    Select the InfoPackages you want to load.
    By default, all InfoPackages are selected.
    On the tab page InfoPackages, number the InfoPackages that are assigned to the group according to the sequence in which the loading process is to be carried out.
    For the InfoPackages, select whether you want the monitor to run a check during the data update to see if the first request from the list has been completely and correctly processed. Only then will the request for which this indicator has been set be processed.
    Define a fixed delay of one minute for the individual InfoPackages. The delay represents the wait time until the next request is carried out.
    Schedule the InfoPackage group in the background.

  • Always displays the default saved search in af:query

    hi,
    The saved search drop down lists the saved searches but could not select another saved search. The dropdown selected value always point to the default saved search, as well as it's UI in criteria region. The same behavior in saving a new search, it will always refresh to the default. What seems to be the problem here? The current QueryDescriptor point to the new search but the UI always displays the default.
    Thanks in advance.

    Found the solution. The queryDescriptor getter calls again the default value that's way it doesn't change. Thanks for the time.

  • Change default selection of radio buttom

    Hi Experts,i want to enhance standard component in webdynpro.in that i want to change default selection of radio button in 1 view.please help out..
    Thanks & Regards
    Prasad

    Hi durga prasad,
    Radio Button Group By Key will get the values from domain of the data element used in attribute which is binded to Radio Button Group By Key property 'selectedKey' .
    That is why we don't have any code in wd_do_init method.
    So you need to go to the domain and check the domain value of the data element used, and then set the default value of your interest in existing standard program using WDDOINIT---> Post Exit method as said by Naveen and Abhijeet.
    You have to set the attribute binded to Radio Button Group By Key property 'selectedKey' with same domain value you want to set as default.
    The following link will help you to understand how 'Radio Button Group By Key' works.

    Thank you much for your response.
    I tried that and it did work. But my requirement is to have a user input the date. The basic idea is if the user decides on a predefined time range like Day Shift Today or Yesterday and so on... then the report would automatically calculate the values based on predefined date time values. On the other hand, if the intent is to run the report for an arbitrary period then the user supplies the date and time limits.
    What I am trying to achieve is have the same parameter available for user input , but when the User decides he wants Predefined then the "textbox" populates with date and time as per his choice of predefind range.
    I understand that by this the user can still overwrite the date and time on the text box, but the report will run the predefined values as long as he has the @PredefinedDateSelection Set to true.
    Is there a way I can impement this?
    Once again I thank you and appreciate  your input.
