Programming new shutdown applet on Cinnamon (systemd related)
Hello everyone,
I have installed Cinnarch, and I wanted to use the shutdown applet but its code doesn't work if you are using systemd. So I planned to program the new code to be compatible with systemd, but I don't know how to do it. The code that doesn't work is the following:
$ dbus-send --system --print-reply --system --dest=org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
So, what would be the code for shutdown with systemd.
Thanks in advance.
I am afraid there may be differences between Cinnarch and Arch in this regards. As such there are no guarantees an advice from Arch users would be of help. Even more importantly, we cannot run run risk that an advice that is relevant to Cinnarch would not be applicable, or worse, wrong when it comes to Arch Linux users and the members of these forums.
That is why we do not provide support for other operating systems
Please ask this question on the Cinnarch forums.

Error while running service tax program (New)
Hi
I have created S3 as interim tax code and S4 as final tax code. I assigned S4 to S3 as a target tax code. Entries are perfectly flowing.
But when i do service tax program for, session is created properly. When i run it in SM35, for gived error
"Tax code S4 may only contain one assignment line"
I have given routine 166 in OBQ3 for ECess and SHEC.
I tells me to do following procedure:
Use a different tax code.
For direct postings to a tax account, you might have to define a separate tax code for which only one line with a percentage rate other than zero is active in percentage rate maintenance. All other lines must be inactive.
Please help me.
Edited by: Deepak Agrawal on May 4, 2010 1:29 PMThere is one interim service tax code (for normal services) - S1. Final service tax code S2 is created assigned to S1 as target tax code.
Entry passed:
Exp A/c.. Dr 500000
Service Tax Basic (deferred) 50000
Service Tax ECS (deferred) 1000
Service Tax SHEC (deferred) 500
To Vendor A/c 551500
For this service tax program (new) is working fine.
For the GTA scenario where service tax is not charged in invoice but we have to pay to government, in that case i have created one interim tax code G1 and i have assigned final tax code S2.
Entry passed for GTA (invoice raised by transporter is Rs. 500000):
Exp A/c.. Dr 515000
To Service Tax Basic (deferred) 50000
To Service Tax ECS (deferred) 1000
To Service Tax SHEC (deferred) 500
To Vendor A/c 500000
But when i execute the program i can see three line items (for basic, interim and SHEC)
But when i run the session, it gives error:
Tax code S2 may only contain one assignment line.
I AM UNABLE TO UNDERSTAND, WHY ITS GIVING ERROR FOR GTA SERVICE TAX TRANSFER

How to run the program in the applet
I have installed the JDK 1.3 and succesfully compiled my first Java application (appropriately named HelloWorld.java). I could compile the source file also.But i am getting an error when i am trying to run the program in the applet iam getting an error as
"start applet not initialised"
and the program is
* The HelloWorldApp class implements an application that
* displays "Hello World!" to the standard output.
public class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Display "Hello World!"
System.out.println("Hello World!");
so please help me out
Thanks in advanceHmm... this is a console based application...
So it won't work using an applet viewer.
You can try coding an applet instead.
I hope I didn't misunderstand your question. -
i need to help to delete an old apple account and to reate a new account because i forgot some related information for the old accounts
If you have iCloud and/or iTunes accounts just sign out of them (however iTunes Store purchases cannot be transferred to a different account). You can create a new ID at http://appleid.apple.com - you will need a different non-Apple email address.
However if you've forgotten the password to the original account, go to http://iforgot.apple.com and sign in with your iCloud login. A new password will be sent to your associated email address. If this doesn't work you will have to contact Support. Go to https://getsupport.apple.com; click' See all products and services', then 'More Products and Services, then 'Apple ID', then 'Other Apple ID Topics' then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password' -
hi
i m new to applets and i m confused whr to put my class files for appley either in jsp folder or webinf/classes folder.
My applets is going to use sevral class do i have to put all in the same folder from whr my applet is starting.
plz help
i read the documentation of tomcat but it doesn't say whr to keep class files for applets.I've just started with applets as well. I found that you have to put your .jar or .class files in the same directory as your html page.

New MacBook Pro Freezes may be related to 10.4.10 update + Airport
Could the freezing issues on NEW 2.4 GHz MBPros be related to 10.4.10 update and what It did to interact with Airport wireless??
I had my new 17" MBP for abut 2 weeks and was surfing outside on my deck using wireless and loving it. It seems like my problems started about June 29th when I installed 10.4.10 update.
When I am working in non browser applications or gaming for hours I never experience any freezes. But when I start surfing either in FF or Safari using wireless I freeze about 5-6 times a day.
The pointing arrow jumps around for a second, then totally freezes, key board is inoperable, not able to force quite ..YUK! reminds me of Old OS 9 days.
Anybody else having issues with their New Intel 2.4 GHz MBP's? Are you also using Airport and have you updated to 10.4.10?
17 " 2.4 GHz MacBookPro Mac OS X (10.4.10)Have the same problem.
It's a known issue and i hope apple fix this very soon!
Look at this: http://www.macrumors.com/2007/07/10/mac-os-10-4-10-and-macbook-airport-issues/
MBP 2,2 Mac OS X (10.4.10) -
[Gnome] Shutdown applet and logout applet inconsistent behaviour?
I don't know when or why but sometimes
the dialogs of the shutdown applet and the logout applet
look completely different
When I first log-in into X/Gnome the shutdown dialog of the shutdown applet looks like
but then after a while it turns out to be like
I dunno if it's because logged out of X and logged-in before. Anyway shouldn't the dialog look the same all the time?
The same thing happens to the logout dialog of the logout applet
Anyone with some insight why this happens?
Thank you.
Last edited by mos98 (2010-03-19 12:40:49)Hey guess what everyone!
I am now using GDM again but my shutdown icon is still greyed-out and unusable.
Case in point:
gnome-power-manager is running also.

Applet / Swing - I'm new in applets
Hi,
I need to program applet project, but I know only swing.
Am I have to lern about applet before, or start to create a swing program and then to change to a applet ?
what is the difference between Applet / Swing?
What I have to change in the my swing program to be Applet?
the connecting is same to the database? (JDBC)
Thanks.Jar file is made when you are creating a desktop application.
it is like setup file which extract the more than one class file
but in webapplication u need to store class files in webserver and have to create html file
<applet code="file.class" width=300 height=300>
</applet>
no need to create jar file for web application and applet is used to create webapplicaton -
Disco Plus - Applet doesn't open - related issues
Hi All
Disco 10.1.2.2 Windows-XP
Have been facing issues related to the applet opening up after responsibility is chosen.
In one case
User is able to log in on the general page, then goes to 'select responsibility --> continue--> then gets error message that it is unable to open another window and to verify pop up blocker
Pop-ups have been enabled and user is still unable to get past this step in the program.
In another case, the applet opens ok, and when user chooses to open a workbook from the database, the workbook list is just blank. There are no security or privilege issues for that responsibility as i have checked.
Please advice on the things to look at when faced with such issues
Regards
ArivHi,
In one case
User is able to log in on the general page, then goes to 'select responsibility --> continue--> then gets error message that it is unable to open another window and to verify pop up blocker
Pop-ups have been enabled and user is still unable to get past this step in the program.The pop up blocker should be Disabled in order to allow opening a new window.
If you are using IE7/IE8 define the tabs behavior so that a link will open in new window and not in new tab.
>
In another case, the applet opens ok, and when user chooses to open a workbook from the database, the workbook list is just blank. There are no security or privilege issues for that responsibility as i have checked.
If the workbook list is empty that means he has no shared workbooks with him.
Share a workbook with him or with the responsibility he uses.
By the way you should check the Java version and the explorer you use so that you can verify the first issue you by using same as in another station that it works.

Problem converting a (working) Java program into an applet
When I'm trying to access an Image through a call to :
mediaTracker = new MediaTracker(this);
backGroundImage = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "background.gif");
mediaTracker.addImage(backGroundImage, 0);
I'm getting a nullPointerException as a result of the call to getDocumentBase() :

It seems very weird to me... :-/
(all the .gif files are in the same directory than the .class files)
The problem appears with AppletViewer trying to open an HTML file
containing :
<HTML>
<APPLET CODE="Balls.class" WIDTH=300 HEIGHT=211>
</APPLET>
</HTML>
(I tried unsuccessfully the CODEBASE and ARCHIVE attributes, with and without putting the .gif and .class into a .jar file)
I can't find the solution by myself, so, I'd be very glad if someone could help
me with this... Thank you very much in advance ! :-)

Clock problem and shutdown problem! Are they related?
Having a problem with my Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5
A few days ago I noticed that my clock was not showing in the menu bar in the upper right corner of my desktop.
I went into System Preferences and went to Date & Time. Under the clock tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” the box was not checked off. I checked it off and went to the “Date and Time” tab. The date and time was correct. I then checked the box “Click the lock to prevent further changes” to lock it. The date and time did not show up in the menu bar. I then went back to the tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” and the box I checked was not checked off even thought the lock was still locked.
I then moved my cursor up to the menu bar in the upper right corner to see what would happen and the spinning beach ball started up but only for the original icons such as Bluetooth, Mobile Me (which I do not use), Time Machine, Spaces (doesn’t indicated the number when I switch Spaces, etc. The icons Norton Anti Virus and Tech Tool Pro in the menu bar are okay.
Also, when I attempt to shut down my computer the system clears the icons from my desktop except for a picture I have on my desktop and I get a gray wheel spinning and the system just hangs until I press and hold the on/off switch. I don’t know if the clock and shutdown problems are related.
The only new software I loaded recently was Skype with Logitech WebCam for the Mac and Quicken 2007 (Had a problem with Quicken 2006). They both are working okay.
And ideas on why I cannot get my clock to show up and my computer to shutdown?You may have to consider a new post in the Hardware forum area for the computer
model and build/year; if there is a possibility of some basis the matter could be in
the machine and not the software running within it.
Your last two/three posts are in the Leopard 10.5(.8) forum area and do indicate
some kind of problem where troubleshooting the computer to discover if the matter
at hand would be either hardware or software based, may be the way to go.
The link to the 10.6 Snow Leopard forum won't be of help if your computer is a
PPC-based G5 tower, or other older pre-Intel configuration. And I remember
your earlier questions about the iMac G4 and some other issues in the past.
You may ask the moderators to put your post in a new thread of its own, in the
Leopard 10.5 area; so as to not 'piggy-back' another topic; even though some
of the odd issues you've had seem similar to this OP's topic line and appear to
be in the same general series of hardware. {The question here seems valid.}
The routine suggestions to check, test, verify, and perhaps repair or replace
the system; save a bootable clone to suitable external standalone device if
testing a suspect computer's viability is recommended; and the basics if not
already tried to help isolate the issue(s) as you've posted elsewhere, may be
of some help to try and do; so in that matter, a new thread of your own is best
for your own directed feedback. Since this kind of advice applies to most any
situation, including troubleshooting what may be hardware or software, I'm
adding my two and three-tenths cents worth here.
Your original included Apple Hardware Test may be of some help, in the process
of elimination; but is not conclusive, so other methods would be also suggested.
Some ideas appear to cover the same ground. However, system corruption or
disc failure can also manifest itself in odd ways & affect things indirectly for a time.

So, at the risk of inadvertently alienating the OP, I am posting this as
a general help to following readers at some later time; and it may not
be too simple for a refresh course.
Some software issues can be resolved by repairing disk permissions,
and re-applying the last OS X update Combo file over the same one
already in the system; or if not up-to-date already, check & repair all
the general items and then apply the last Combo update.
A too-full hard disk drive can compromise the system integrity, so that
is a matter of course to keep up on what resources exist and remain
for the OS X to function correctly and for apps to multi-task together.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing! -
Programs Unexpectedly Shutdown
I have had my macbook for about one year. Since using it I have noticed that some programs will unexpectedly shutdown while I am using them. For instance, when I am in Word or playing Zoo Tycoon the program will suddenly close and a message will appear that says: "Word/Zoo Tycoon has unexpectedly shutdown." It then asks if I would like to Report or Restart.
I thought both issues might have to do with the age of the programs, that perhaps they were not completely compatible with the newer macbook operating system. I decided to purchase iWork 06 hoping that using the latest Apple word processing software would alleviate my word processing anxieties (and as for Zoo Tycoon, I simply lost interest and stopped playing). After installing iWork I did have some (possibly unrelated) trouble with frequent kernal panics, but I contacted technical support and have not had trouble since.
Anyways, yesterday I was using iPhoto quite extensively when it shutdown unexpectedly. That makes three programs in total that have done this. I did a quick internet search for unexpected shutdowns in macbooks but most of them seem to be more serious, referring to the entire computer shutting down, which is not the case for me.
I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with how long I am in the programs - that maybe the computer gets overheated and therefore shuts the programs down. Usually if the program shuts down once it doesn't happen again that day so it's not like this is completely unbearable, it's just kind of annoying and doesn't seem normal.
Obviously I'm not very computer savvy. I mainly use my laptop for school so I can deal with these unexpected program shutdowns (as I have been since I got it) but since my warranty is expiring soon I thought it couldn't hurt to ask, just in case there is something more serious going on.
So finally (and sorry it has taken me so long) my question is:
Is it normal for programs to unexpectedly shutdown when you are in them for too long?
And if not, how serious of an issue it is? Should I look into getting my laptop replaced?Replacing your MacBook won't fix this. It is a software issue. It is annoying but I always report what i was doing when it shut down. That may help the programmers fix the reasons for this. NeoOffice usually does this when I am closing it. I have found if I close the document before I shut down it doesn't happen. No rhyme or reason on the others it just happens.

New to Applets: Problems wiht writing to files and with scroll panes.
Hi, I've recently graduated from university and so I have limited experience in java programming and I'm having some trouble with JApplets (this is the first time I've made one). I'm trying to make a simple program that will allow users to pick one of a few background images from a list (a list of jpanels within a scroll pane) then at the click of a button will output a CSS with the background tag set to the image location. This is for use on a microsoft sharepoint site where each user has a My-Sit area which I want to be customizable.
So far I've been creating this program as an application rather than a JApplet and just having another class that extends the JApplet Class which then displays the JFrame from the GUI Class. This initially didnt work because I was trying to add a window to a container so I kept programming it as an application until I got it working before trying to convert it to a JApplet. I solved the previous problem by changing my GUI class to extend JPanel instead of JFrame and it now displays correctly but with a coupe of issues.
Firstly the applet will not create/write to the CSS file. I read that applets couldnt read/write to the users file system but they could to their own. The file I wish to write to is kept on the same machine as the applet so I'm not sure why this isn't working.
Secondly the scroll panel is no longer working properly. This worked fine when I was still running the program as an application when the GUI still extended JFrame instead of JPanel (incidentally the program no longer runs as an application in this state) but now the scroll bar does not appear. This is a problem since I want the applet to remain the same size on the page even if I decide to add more backgrounds to the list. I tried setting the applet height/width to smaller values in the html file to see if the scroll bar would appear if the area was smaller than the GUI should be, but this just meant the bottom off the applet was cut off.
Could anyone offer any suggestion as to why these thigns arnt working and how to fix them? If necessary I can post my source code here. Thanks in advance.Ok, well my program is made up of 4 classes, I hope this isnt too much to be posting. If any explaination is needed then I'll post that next. Theres lots of print lines scattered aroudn due to me trying to fix this and theres some stuff commented out from when the program used to be an application isntead of an applet.

}The CSS Generator Class. This exists because once I have the basic program working I intend to expand upon it and add multiple tabs to the GUI, each one allowing the user to change different style options. Each style option to be changed will be changed wit ha different method in this class.
public class CSSGenerator {
//Variables

}The Backgrounds Class. This class exists because I didnt want there to just be a hardcoded lsit of backgrounds, I wanted it to be possible to add new ones to the list without simply lettign users upload their own images (since the intended users are kids and this sharepoint site is used for educational purposes, I dont want them uplaoded inapropraite backgrounds) but I do want the site admin to be able to add more images to the list. for this reason the backgrounds are taken from a list in a text file that will be stored in the same location as the applet, the file specifies the background name, where it is stored, and where a thumbnail image is stored.

Is there a way to know if the program is an applet?
Hi all,
I'm developping a Swing project that can be run or not as an applet. Some of my components need to know in which mode the program is running, since some workarounds are necessary to avoid a few swing bugs.
Of course I can ask the main frame if it is an applet or not, but I have written some generic components that do not have any reference to it.
Any ideas?Hi,
IMHO testing for an instance of Applet will not solve the problem because it seems that godbert has an (J)Applet including a main method which can be started as application and as applet.
One solution for solving the problem could be to store at startup if the program was started as applet or application. Storing this in the system properties makes it available for other components, too.
class MyApplet extends JApplet {
static {
System.setProperty( "startedAsApplet", Boolean.TRUE.toString() );
private boolean isStartedAsApplet() {
return ( Boolean.getBoolean( "startedAsApplet" ) );
private void setStartedAsApplet( boolean startedAsApplet ) {
System.setProperty( "startedAsApplet", new Boolean( startedAsApplet ).toString() );
public void startLikeApplet() {
setStartedAsApplet( false );
init();
start();
stop();
public static void main( String[] args ) {
MyApplet myA = new MyApplet();
myA.startLikeApplet();
}Hope that helps,
Alex
