Problems with Enlightenment

Hey,
I'm a newbie to Arch Linux but it sounded cool and like something I wanted to try.
It took me a little to get some things figured out, but I got my Arch Linux somewhat working and Enlightenment installed as my WM. However when I try and lauch a lot of the programs that came with the WM I get an error message saying:
Application run error
Enlightenment was unable to run the application:
xterm
The application failed to start.
Also, an unrelated question, I installed firefox using pacman from a virtual console, but all the tabs and menu bar look super ugly like windows 98 or something.. why?
Thanks

I don't think that is my problem. My problem is that when I try and run most of the applications that came with E17 I get that error. I was using the application xterm as an example, its listed under the applications > system > XTerm (Terminal).
The applications that don't work are the Avahi SSH and VNC Server Browsers, MPlayer, Avahi Zeroconf Browser, and XTerm.
The only ones that do seem to work are the Elementary Test application and the Enlightenment File Manager.

[Enlightenment E17] Problems with EFM after last Update [solved]

Hello Folks!
I'm having some very ugly problems with my Enlightenment E17 Desktop after the last full system upgrade. This problem has already been reported to the German Arch Linux community, but no response yet, but I can't figure out that nobody else troubles the same probs.
This is the following what I get when running pacman -Ss e17-svn

The problems that occur to me are following: I'm using EFM as file manager. It's not the best one, but it fits into the E17 concept - simple, lightweight, fast - and thats what I like. But, after the latest update, when I click a folder on my desktop, EFM now comes up in a stupid very tiny window. The window is so small, that I need to resize it every time to see any content. Before the update, everything worked fine, the EFM windows came up as they should.
Another problem I'm having with some applications, e.g. the Okular-Viewer, is that I'm not able to size down the window - it is always in full screen, and there's no chance to move it up (even not on the desktop preview widget) to move it down. Okular is always 100% filling my screen (over the height, only), and I'm not able to size it down. In the previous version, I didn't got this problems.
My question is now: is there any way to install the previous Enlightenment E17 packages? They where much better that this one... or will another update come out soon??
Thanks in advance for any help, any help is appreciated!

Have you tried starting with a clean config and the default theme, it helps sometimes after big code changes?
If that doesn't help...

If you find some mirror which keeps outdated packages that should not be a problem. Be sure to downgrade all of e17 packages (also some packages were deprecated and thus removed from the server during the last upgrade so you'd need to have those as well. You may still have those on your system though)
About a quick update, depends if Ican replicate it and if there is an easy fix. These things happen now and then with pre-alpha software when they do make major code changes. I try to test every update locally before putting it live but I of course can't test every single feature.

FiOS Digital Voice and Internet Reoccurring Problem with Outage at Same Time Every Night

I was hoping someone could help me out or enlighten me as to what may be going on.
I've been having problems the past two nights (5/17 and 5/18) where at 12:45am CST, both the internet and Digital Voice service go out. The problem with this is that the outage trips our home alarm due to the dropped connection (which scares our child) and disrupts any large downloads (e.g. Steam purchases) that I may have set up to run during the night. After 5-10 minutes, service is restored and works properly.
We haven't had problems of this nature since we switched to digital voice around two months ago, and we tested our alarm system with the provider to ensure it works properly with Digital Voice (it does).
Does anyone know if Verizon has been doing backend updates or something of that nature that would knock service out two nights in a row at the same time?
I haven't received any information indicating there are outages, planned or otherwise, in our area, and the Verizon support staff I contacted, while polite and courteous, did not have an answer for me. I am hoping that we don't have to endure a third night of this.
Thanks

To follow up on this, we again had another occurance at 12:45am CST Saturday morning. Thankfully, though, we did not have another occurance Sunday morning.
However, I still would like to know what the root cause of this problem is. I've powercycled my ONT (removed power, removed battery backup) per Verizon support's instructions Friday afternoon, but it did not appear to have any impact on the problem at hand.

Problem with Itunes 9.1 on Windows 7

Hi all
Problem with the 9.1 version of itunes. I download the update and everything went ok and till i reboot the pc and gave me this messages. "Apple sync notifier "The program can't start corefundation.dll missing from this computer".
Trying to fix the problem i uninstall itunes, Quick, apple application device, apple mobile device, and software update and reboot the pc and reinstall everything. This time everything went right and no more message but now if i click to open itunes it not runs and safari is making my computer slow and it freeze for seconds.
Any idea what could be my problem?

Same problem here. Running the iTunes network diagnostic doesn't enlighten me: it tells me that connectivity to the iTunes store is fine. My firewall tells me that when iTunes starts it attempts to connect to "http://wpad/wpad.dat" which of course fails because the unqualified domain name gets my local domain added to it (and I don't have a host called ipad on my network).
Here's the report; in case it helps Apple figure out what's wrong:

Problem with recompose in PSE 11 trial version

I am trying to determine whether to purchase PSE 11. I currently solely use Lightroom 4. I have attempted to use the recompose tool several times on several different pictures marking different things and generally have failed results. On the odd occasion that part of the photograph is saved, it is the part I have painted red. I am not saying that the problems with recompose is a deal breaker for purchasing the software, but this was one of the tools I really liked (at least the idea). Someone please enlighten me. Oh, and I am using a duplicate background when trying the recompose tool.

The green areas are protected areas. That's what gets saved if you have protected all the important features.
Take a look at this video tutorial.

Problem with dual screen (24" imac 2006 ver)

hi
i've got a 24" intel imac (2006 ver) and i've connected it using apple's mini-dvi => vga adapter to my 2nd 22" lcd monitor, a samsung 2232GW, which is set to 1680 x 1050.
however, the samsung lcd displays (when i'm using as dual screen) is quite blur and double imaged. quality is readable but very irritating. i'm also using the same monitor for my ps3 (uses the DVI side) and have no problem with any visual aspect. I've tried playing around with the settings like resolution and calibration and tuning but didn't help at all.
anyone might have any ideas and enlighten me on this issue?
thanks

Did you get any resolution to your question? I have the Samsung monitor almost like yours, and I posted two seconds ago. I think I have a similar problem. I had been using my Samsung with my PC, and just switched to Mac. I loved my Samsung, but now ,for the first time using as a second. Hooked up to mini dvi to dvi, and reported a glow, or tinge coming around any window that I may place on the Samsung.Also, when Ilook at the background around the window I can see that the resolution is not perfect and is breaking up a little. Did you try VGA? and did it help? Curious to know

Weird problems with K7N2-L

Hi,
I've had a browse through the forum, and some of the posted problems do have a relation to mine, but mine are a bit more "weirder".
I have a XP2000 CPU, K7N2-L, 512DDR Pc2100 RAM. I am using PCI slot1 for my modem, and AGP slot for my GF2MX.
Anyway, I installed everything into the case, I have a 300Watt PSU btw. Switched the thing on for the first time and nothing happened. I looked at the DLED, and it was hung on memory test. So I took it out, and put it in DIMM 2 (previously been in DIMM 1). Switched here on, and it booted but for only a short while, then i restarted. I then swapped it in to DIMM 3, and am now able to use my computer.
Anyway., I installed windows xp, all the drivers. Now then, a problem must have developed as I started getting BSOD's such as:
MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
I had this problem with a previous system and with that, I just ran the CPU and DDRAM at lower speeds.
So thats what I did, I managed to quickly get into BIOS and change the CPU to 100Mhz, and Ram to 100Mhz too. Now I am running my XP2000 at 1.25Ghz, 75% of its capacity and my system is stable.
However! I still get some strange problems when I sometimes switch on the pc, or restart it. Sometimes I just get a blank screen and the DLED has hung on the Memory test. I have to take the power cable out to turn off the PC, and then wait about 5 seconds, put it back in, and i might be lucky to get it started. Sometimes after about 10 tries of doing this, I just have to reset BIOS and try again, and go through the BIOs settings again.
I am now running a stable computer, but the DDRAM is at 100Mhz, and the CPU is at 100Mhz so I am not getting my full potentioal out of my components. CPU temp is 48*C btw.
What do you think I should do?

I agree with all the above. AMD recommend at least 15A on the 12V rail with a peak output of 18A. I've run a stable system with a 300W PSU, similar in power rating but I had a slightly lower consumption:

This PSU was fine with this particular setup:
3.3v=15A
5V=25.0A
12V=7A
Piii600 o/c to 800
Geforce2 GTS
IDE card
CD-ROM
CD-RW
Maxtor 7200rpm HDD
TV tuner
10/100 Network Card
2 sticks pc133
2 system fans
fairy lights
USB devices - scanner, mouse, digital camera.
Bearing in ming that the piii doesn't draw from the 12v rail, it's quite enlightening.
Have a look at your voltages in the bios. This will help to find out wether it is a psu or memory related problem. At a guess:
If 3.3V are constantly less than 3.3v
And 5V are constantly less than 4.9v
And 12V is less than 11.89v
edit:
As far as I have found, voltage tolerance should be
Which translates to
3.3V +/-4%= 3.186-3.432V
5V +/-5%= 4.750-5.250V
12V +/-5%= 11.4V-12.6V
Then a new PSU may help stability. I'll try to find out what the operating parameters actually are and give some better figures at a later date. Some PSU's will happily supply 110-120% of their rated wattage before blowing some capacitors (heh, I've managed to actually do this).
[ALIGN=center]-------------[/ALIGN] MEMORY_MANAGEMENT
BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
These bsods suggest bad ram.
We are of course assuming that you've done a clean install - the previous operating system has been removed, either by formatting or renaming.
If you are underclocking, you are both reducing the power needed for your system, and the strain on memory. There is one thing for certain - it's hardware. Sometimes re-seating your components helps.

Problems with RMI tutorials using Tomcat 4.1.24

i don't know if it helps but i had the following problem:
an rmi-component software plus a servlet contacting the system.
and rmi from the servlet in tomcat did not seem to work ...

finaly i changed back to tomcat 4.0.x but it still was not any better, when i found out that most of the problems resulted from pathnames...
tomcat 4.1.24 had a problem with pathnames getting too long (2k on win 2000) and tomcat 4.0 produced errors because of the blank in it's path name "Tomcat 4.0" so i made a new installation with C:\Tomcat4 as home directory and - what a surprise - things turned out fine and rmi worked.

2 'problems' with the K8N Diamond Plus

Hi there.
I just bought a K8N Diamond Plus and I'm having some troubles installing my system in conjunction to my Decklink Extreme PCI-E ( http://www.decklink.com/products/sd/ ).
Here's my configuration:
MSI K8N Diamond Plus
AMD64 X2 4400+
ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA
Decklink Extreme PCI-E
2GB RAM ( 2 x 1gb) Kingston
OCZ-520 12U Modstream Power Supply
plus 6 HD's (7200rpm) and 1 DVD-+RW
The problem is, when I try to initialize the system with the Decklink, which it's a PCI-E 1x, it just don't boot. Neither putting the Decklink on the 1x, nor in the 4x slot and nor in the 16x.
The Decklink is working just fine in another system and doesn't seem to be a problem with this card.
I wondered if there's any limitation in the K8N Diamond Plus with working with the ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA plus the Decklink.
=======================
The other thig is that when I take off the Decklink, the system boots normaly but a message appears while booting: "Not enough space to copy PCI option ROM 00:13:00".
And I don't have a clue about what's going on.
=======================
Please enlighten me with this questions if possible.
Thank you very much.
Greets.
Igor Bineli

Remove the battery away for 10 minutes, clear CMOS, start the system to load setup/optimized defauts in bios setup. After that, disable all onboard items in bios setup that you won't to use. Save and exit.
Plug ROSEWILL 6600GT PCI-E VGA card, and start your system to check if there is the error message. If there is, borrow another brand VGA card to do a test.
Besides, update your MB bios and driver version to the latest one.

Problem with synch ipod touch or ipod with itunes

Can somebody help me. I seem to have a problem with itunes. I can synch all the apps on an ipod touch and all the pictures,but not the music.
If I tried the same on a normal ipod, the same thing happened. If I uninstall all the itunes component on my laptop, will I loose all the apps for the ipod touch and all the music stored on itunes?
If you can help thank you.
Pierre

I seem to have a problem with itunes.
What is the problem?
I can synch all the apps on an ipod touch and all the pictures,but not the music.
Why not? What does/doesn't happen?
If I tried the same on a normal ipod, the same thing happened
Perhaps you would be so kind as to enlighten us as to what happened?

Problems with norwegian letters when browsing samba share.

When I'm browsing my samba share from my ArchLinux workstation, files in the share with norwegian letters are not shown correct. This applies both from aterm and konqueror.
But if I use a Windows XP/2000 machine, everything is shown like it is suppose to do with norwegian letters.
The samba server is also running ArchLinux. On my workstation I'm using Enlightenment as windowmanager.
Is this a problem with my samba server or with my linux workstation? What can I do to fix it?
[orjanp@ArchLinux ~]$ cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Global parameters

It seems like it's not only the ArchLinux workstation that displays the norwegian letters wrong. The only machine that shows this correc is the machine that created the file/catalogue.
It seems like the windows 2000 displays the cataloge created by windows XP just fine.

Serious Problems with AOL

I hope Ali B sees this posting. Looks like you are the AOL Whiz. But I will be just as grateful if anyone has suggestions. I am new to posting, and as other newbies have asked, please forgive my inexperience.
When I saw rsw90's dilemma about continuous problems with AOL, it hit a nerve. I have been an AOL member for decades as well, and have had to deal with cross-platform issues and file cabinet incompatibilities as I went from being a MAC man since 1984 to being forced to the Dark Side by business demands and returned to sanity. The problem is that AOL has seriously neglected MAC, and I seek the mercy of the enlightened about how to navigate this minefield.
In August, my file cabinet (AOL 10.3.7) stopped allowing me to save inbox mail to my personalized file folders using the "save to" button. I communicated with some very lame AOL personnel in Mumbai who promised to escalate the ticket, and I never got any sensible help. Then, the file cabinet froze up and shut down my AOL every time I tried to access. AOL help was useless. It was then that they told me that AOL doesn't automatically back up the file cabinet for MAC as they do for PC users and told me to accept the file cabinet was "corrupted" and "unrecoverable" -- something I cannot accept because there were over 20,000 saved e-mails that have serious impact legally.
As it turns out, the signs were there earlier that the file cabinet was becoming unstable due to the storage volume and I could have protected this by transferring or deleting. I could also have been instructed how to back up externally if they had thought to tell me. Another interesting fact is that the corruption only affected my main user sign-on ID, and none of the others.
Nevertheless, I made copies of the file cabinet that was inaccessible in the desperate hope that someone out there could help me move them to another program and open them, or repair the corruption. I learned from Ali B's posting how to install AOL Service Assistant, which touted that it can open corrupt file cabinets in Mail, but I'm not figgerin' well. I did set up the IMAP for my current AOL, but it only imported the file folders from my current AOL File Cabinet (post-crash e-mails) -- none of the contents. It did start importing my inbox, however. What I am hoping is that I may be able to set up a separate Mail account where I can attempt to import the saved corrupt File Cabinet and plan for the big celebration.
Any ideas?

Hi stevekinney2!
You probably have a corrupt PFC - Your AOL Personal Filing Cabinet, caused by an excess amount of stored items.
And I am assuming, that you do not a system backup, correct?
NO guarantees, but try this procedure.
First, If you are able to, open your Filing Cabinet from the AOL Menubar's contextual File menu. If you can't do that while signed on, try signing off, but don't quit AOL, and try again.
If there are things in there that you can't bear to lose, there are a few ways you can save them.
Method 1. Drag the item/items to a New Folder on the Desktop. Name the folder something like Old PFC. This folder can later be placed wherever you wish.
Method 2. Open the item/items, select Save or Save As from the AOL Menubar's contextual File menu. The files will be copied to the Desktop. You can then put them all in a folder, as in method #1.
Method 3. Open the item/items and make copies in a Word Processing application and again, save to a new folder. This folder can also be placed anywhere you choose, such as the Documents folder, in your Home Account folder, located;
HD > Users > Your Home Account > Documents
After you have verified, that the Email transfer was successful, sign off, and quit AOL.
Go to: HD > Users > Shared > America Online: HERE, you'll find (Your Screenname)'s Filing Cabinet.
Move that file to the Trash, but DO NOT empty the Trash. If this procedure does not rectify your situation, you can replace the new PFC with the old one. But I wouldn't recommend it.
Load AOL, Sign-on and see if it's fixed. If all is well, and you've made the copies of important data, there's really nothing in the old PFC that you need, so you can empty the Trash.
I've never had this particular problem, but I seldom keep more than a few items in my AOL PFC.
If I want to keep an article of mail, I use method #3.
If that doesn't clear it up, sign off and quit AOL. Pull your AOL Your Screenname's Favorites folder, which is located:
HD > Users > Shared > America Online: HERE, to the Desktop.
When you relaunch AOL, a new Your Screenname's Favorites folder will be created.
If the problem is corrected, you can drag the old copy of Your Screenname's Favorites, that is on the Desktop to the Trash, and empty it.
If that doesn't do it you can replace the new Your Screenname's Favorites with the old copy of Your Screenname's Favorites, that is on the Desktop, but again, I don't recommend it.

Problem with belle fp1 on nokia 701

i updated my nokia 701 phone to belle fp1 and i really like the new features that came with. Since the upgrading, i do encounter problem with the phone. The phone may fail to recieve network while others are, or switching itself on and off continuosly until i restore it back to factory settings. This always make me to loose a lot of applications i have downloaded. It is painful because i have restored it to factory settings more than 5times within 5months. I'm afraid of upgrading to fp2 now. Pls enlighten me on how to solve this problem.

Hi Heerkhmye,
Sorry to hear that you are still having problems with your 701. It appears you have tried everything, so apart from performing a three-finger hard reset, and this not working, then your only option is to take your phone to your local Nokia Care point for them to take a look at.
Let us know how you get on.

A problem with threads

I am trying to implement some kind of a server listening for requests. The listener part of the app, is a daemon thread that listens for connections and instantiates a handling daemon thread once it gets some. However, my problem is that i must be able to kill the listening thread at the user's will (say via a sto button). I have done this via the Sun's proposed way, by testing a boolean flag in the loop, which is set to false when i wish to kill the thread. The problem with this thing is the following...
Once the thread starts excecuting, it will test the flag, find it true and enter the loop. At some point it will LOCK on the server socket waiting for connection. Unless some client actually connects, it will keep on listening indefinatelly whithought ever bothering to check for the flag again (no matter how many times you set the damn thing to false).
My question is this: Is there any real, non-theoretical, applied way to stop thread in java safely?
Thank you in advance,
Lefty

This was one solution from the socket programming forum, have you tried this??
public Thread MyThread extends Thread{
     boolean active = true;
     public void run(){
          ss.setSoTimeout(90);
          while (active){
               try{
                    serverSocket = ss.accept();
               catch (SocketTimeoutException ste){
               // do nothing
     // interrupt thread
     public void deactivate(){
          active = false;
          // you gotta sleep for a time longer than the
          // accept() timeout to make sure that timeout is finished.
          try{
               sleep(91);
          }catch (InterruptedException ie){
          interrupt();
}

Problem with Threads and a static variable

I have a problem with the code below. I am yet to make sure that I understand the problem. Correct me if I am wrong please.
Code functionality:
A timer calls SetState every second. It sets the state and sets boolean variable "changed" to true. Then notifies a main process thread to check if the state changed to send a message.
The problem as far I understand is:
Assume the timer Thread calls SetState twice before the main process Thread runs. As a result, "changed" is set to true twice. However, since the main process is blocked twice during the two calls to SetState, when it runs it would have the two SetState timer threads blocked on its synchronized body. It will pass the first one, send the message and set "changed" to false since it was true. Now, it will pass the second thread, but here is the problem, "changed" is already set to false. As a result, it won't send the message even though it is supposed to.
Would you please let me know if my understanding is correct? If so, what would you propose to resolve the problem? Should I call wait some other or should I notify in a different way?
Thanks,
B.D.
Code:
private static volatile boolean bChanged = false;
private static Thread objMainProcess;
   protected static void Init(){
        objMainProcess = new Thread() {
            public void run() {
                while( objMainProcess == Thread.currentThread() ) {
                   GetState();
        objMainProcess.setDaemon( true );
        objMainProcess.start();
    public static void initStatusTimer(){
        if(objTimer == null)
             objTimer = new javax.swing.Timer( 1000, new java.awt.event.ActionListener(){
                public void actionPerformed( java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt){
                          SetState();
    private static void SetState(){
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            bChanged = true;
            try{
                objMainProcess.notify();
            }catch( IllegalMonitorStateException e ) {}
    private static boolean GetState() {
        if( objMainProcess == null ) return false;
        synchronized( objMainProcess ) {
            if( bChanged) {
                SendMessage();
                bChanged = false;
                return true;
            try {
                objMainProcess.wait();
            }catch( InterruptedException e ) {}
            return false;
    }

Thanks DrClap for your reply. Everything you said is right. It is not easy to make them alternate since SetState() could be called from different places where the state could be anything else but a status message. Like a GREETING message for example. It is a handshaking message but not a status message.
Again as you said, There is a reason I can't call sendMessage() inside setState().
The only way I was able to do it is by having a counter of the number of notifies that have been called. Every time notify() is called a counter is incremented. Now instead of just checking if "changed" flag is true, I also check if notify counter is greater than zero. If both true, I send the message. If "changed" flag is false, I check again if the notify counter is greater than zero, I send the message. This way it works, but it is kind of a patch than a good design fix. I am yet to find a good solution.
Thanks,
B.D.
