Edited gnome menus with Alacarte - gnome wont start anymore!

Hi!
First off; I've had this problem about a year ago, and the only thing that repaired it was to reinstall Arch... I made a similar thread at the time, but didn't get any help.
I use Alacarte to edit my gnome menus, but when I delete the items that I dont use, the next time I try to log into the computer, gnome wont start. It stops loading the desktop while the splash-screen shows, and I can see the mouse-cursor and conky in the background, but no menus or panels, and the splash-screen wont go away either.
Luckily, this time I had both openbox and gnome installed, so I was able to use openbox to write this thread.
Anyone got any tips on how to fix this without reinstalling my os?
Cheers

Okay so I found a way to work around this problem. If I create a new user it works again, BUT I want my old user back. If I delete my main user, and recreate it with the same username etc, will it use my old home directory with all my settings etc?

KDE applications in GNOME menus and vice versa

Hi,
I installed KDE and GNOME on my laptop. This is because I like them both, and they both have applications that I like.
The problem is that all KDE applications show up in the GNOME menus, and all GNOME applications show up in the KDE menus.
There is a hack explained at http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=26170 that "fixes" this, but it's kind of unusable because:
1) While it's rather easy to do this for KDE, when I install new KDE applications I have to do this again. It's easy because it's in /opt/kde
2) GNOME *.desktop is located in /usr/share/applications, and not only GNOME stores its .desktop files there. Makes it hard to ShowOnlyIn=GNOME there.
Ideally I'd have a directory called "KDE" in the GNOME menu, and vice versa. Is there any way to achieve this easily? Perhaps even the Arch Linux devs could make something like this the default? Right now menus do get very cluttered if you have more than one DE installed.

Here's the thingie for gnome "directory" in KMenu. I don't know about the other way around.

Customizing the gnome menus

I am building a demo environment. I want to use the gnome ui and create menu items like jdeveloper, sqldeveloper, sqlplus etc to make it easier for users to get started. So far I have:
1. create desktop items in ~/.local/share/applications
2. created a new menu ~/.config/menus/demo.menu
3. created a supporting directory entry ~/.local/share/desktop-directories/demo.directory
4. modified ~/.config/menus/applications.menu, which references /etc/xdg/menus/applications.menu and added
<Menu>
<Name>Demo</Name>
<MergeFile>demo.menu</MergeFile>
</Menu>
But when I restart gnome the new menu does not show up under Applications.
I've verified the category (DSSTools. one I made up) in the xxx.desktop files matches the categories in the demo.menu file.
If I add a category like "Internet" to the desktop items they show up on that menu (and work), so I know it is not the jdeveloper.desktop (etc.) file.
I've run out of ideas.

Below is what changes when adding a menu to "My Menu" named submenu, containing an item called submenu item:
$ cat applications.menu

Hi, I cannot restart or shut down my MAC and get the message Geneio.it installer is cancelling your request. Please shut down and retry. However, I cannot seem to exit that application and I have no idea where it came from. Thanks

Could this be a virus?

Hold down the Power button until the computer shuts down.

Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection
An excellent link to read is Tom Reed's Mac Malware Guide.
Also, visit The XLab FAQs and read Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware.
See these Apple articles:
          Mac OS X Snow Leopard and malware detection
          OS X Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          OS X Mountain Lion- Protect your Mac from malware
          About file quarantine in OS X
If you require anti-virus protection Thomas Reed recommends using Dr.Web Light from the App Store. It's free, and since it's from the App Store, it won't destabilize the system. If you prefer one of the better known commercial products, then Thomas recommends using Sophos.(Thank you to Thomas Reed for these recommendations.) If you already use Sophos, then be aware of this if you are using Mavericks: OS X Mavericks- Sophos Anti-Virus on-access scanner versions 8.0 - 9.1 may cause unexpected restarts
From user Joe Bailey comes this equally useful advice:
The facts are:
1. There is no anti-malware software that can detect 100% of the malware out there.
2. There is no anti-malware that can detect anything targeting the Mac because there
     is no Mac malware in the wild, and therefore, no "signatures" to detect.
3. The very best way to prevent the most attacks is for you as the user to be aware that
     the most successful malware attacks rely on very sophisticated social engineering
     techniques preying on human avarice, ****, and fear.
4. Internet popups saying the FBI, NSA, Microsoft, your ISP has detected malware on
    your computer is intended to entice you to install their malware thinking it is a
    protection against malware.
5. Some of the anti-malware products on the market are worse than the malware
    from which they purport to protect you.
6. Be cautious where you go on the internet.
7. Only download anything from sites you know are safe.
8. Avoid links you receive in email, always be suspicious even if you get something
    you think is from a friend, but you were not expecting.
9. If there is any question in your mind, then assume it is malware.

How to Run a Request Set on specific days and at specific hours

Hi community,
The question is simple, how to rin a Request Set on Specific Days and at Specific hours?
Let me explain the scenario.
E-Business Suite, Release 11.5.9.
We have a request set under Sysadmin user. This Request set is running 24x7, during all year, and we want to restrict the execution from Monday to Friday since 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. in order to increase the productivity of our system and more over, to avoid the size increase of a table (OE_EXPOSURE_INTERFACE)
The Request Set includes 5 Requests:
10. Workflow Background Process.
20. GUZMAN: Cálculo metodo pago en pedidos.
30. GUZMAN: Exposición de crédito externo.
40. Credit Exposure Import.
50 Initialize Credit Summaries Table.
As you can see three of them are standar Oracle Order Management Processes and two of them are custom Oracle Order Management Processes; and the requests must be executed in that order.
We have just thinking about to create a Custom Manager with a workshift from Monday to Friday since 08:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m., and include the requests as specialization rules or assigning those request to a Request Type and then include that Request Type as specializated rule, but this does not assure us that the request will be executed in that order.
Any suggestion?
Thanks a lot for your answer in advice.
Luis.

Hi Anchorage,
It could be a solution, but not the exact solution that we want. Let me say why.
With the Request set we have the security that each concurrent request is executed when the prior one finishes; is that to say 20, does not begin till 10 finishes, and 30 does not begin till 20 finishes and so on. The most critical concurrent requests are 40 and 50, cause those are the ones that import an external credit exposure in the OE_EXPORURE_INTERFACE table (40) and are the ones that delete those external credit exposures imported (50). The problem is (and we do not know why) that these actions makes grow the size of the table and each time the 40 and 50 processes takes more minutes to finish. That's why we need to truncate the table in order to avoid the excesive grow of itself.
Making each process independent, with a begining time and hoping and expecting that the following one does not begin till the prior one ends is not an admisible or realizable solution due to the problem with the 40 and 50 processes.
So at the end, we need a request set in order to know that each one began when the prior one ends.
And Due to in order to truncate the table, as I said before, the processes that have a relationship whit it, must be stopped (just the 40 and 50 processes) prior to the truncation.
So as you see, it is difficult, very difficult.
Regards.

Hi noswam123,
If a PDF file is password protected, the only way to open that document is with the password. You will have to get that password from the person who created the PDF.

In several days (in the 19th) i will lecture at
SQLSaturday #360 and my last demo (hopefully I will have the time) is
Full implementation of JSON, I will show several function using JSON serializer and deserializer, and as mentioned full implementation including fast
indexes on JSON column (finding specific Node in 10 million rows
in less then a second). If you want to wait, then I will publish it latter probably, or you can come the lecture if you want :-)
* I am using Json.NET framework, by the way.
regarding your question, all you need is to find a nice serializer/deserializer framework (you can use
Json.NET framework) in order to do what you are looking for (if I understand what you asked)

Pull down menus are transparent and empty squres where maybe a pix should be. What's happening with that?? Thx..Dave

The entire webpage seems empty and colorless. When I roll over a square or something that is empty, I get the "hand" as if there is something in there that I should click on. All the pull down menus are transparent and hard to read against the background. I tried the same web site on IE and everything is good. It seems as if half of the Browser is loaded. The updates had no affect. My email site is a drab and dreary place that I use the Mac email instead. I remember on my old HP with Firefox it was great. And so was Thunderbird. What can I do??
Thx....Dave

What happens if you use a theme which changes all the background colours, so that no system colours are used?

Each phone needs to set its own sync settings on the various tabs in iTunes. On the Apps tab, for example, uncheck the apps that you don't want on the phone being synced. This article may also be of interest: http://gigaom.com/apple/itunes-101-multiple-devices-one-itunes-account/.
You can change the Apple ID used for purchasing on her phone by going to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using her Apple ID. However, be aware that if she has any apps on her phone purchased with your Apple ID she will still be prompted to enter the password associated with this ID for all future updates of these apps. This is because apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them, regardless of the ID in Settings>Store.

An error occurred processing your last request. Please go back and try again.

Hi, I´m trying to set up a page in BC. Often after changing the content of site and click "update" I get the message:
An Error Occurred
An error occurred processing your last request.
Please go back and try again.
This happens e.g. when I want to change the Template for the page from one to another. Sometimes all changes are lost!
I wanted to build more sites using BC for my clients but with that error messages this would be impossible. I need a system that would work properly.

hopestew,
If still encountering this behavior best track your steps and report immediately to direct support.

The error message is quite generic and it can stem from server related issues or some odd conflict within the editor/system.
Kind regards,

KDE/GNOME menus

What is the usual/preferred method of getting icons in to GNOME and KDE menus? Is there a standard location? Are there any helper programs or will stuffing a .desktop file somewhere just work?

iphitus wrote:But this isnt reccomended when distributing .desktop files, as other users may well want to see those options in their menu.
Sure, I was simply under the impression we were speaking about a user's individual desktop environment and their desire to make user specific changes, not global or packaging alterations. When I make Slackpacks I never presume to speak for the user, and so after providing the desktop file (if needed) I let them decide whether or not to narrow its menu usage.
