Safe to remove linux kernel when using linux-lts kernel?

I'm using the `linux-lts` kernel on my work machine (less reboots after updates); I know in theory it should be safe to remove the normal `linux` kernel (and it's dependencies) but does anyone know if it is safe in practice? Nothing that assumes there will always be a `linux` package because without it there couldn't be a running system?

This should be as easy to figure out, as comparing dependencies can be:
linux-lts:
Required By (5)
archboot
nvidia-lts
r8168-lts
virtualbox-archlinux-modules-lts
virtualbox-modules-lts
linux:
Required By (15)
archboot
cdfs
fcpci
fcpcmcia
lirc
ndiswrapper
nvidia
open-vm-tools-modules
r8168
rt3562sta
vhba-module
virtualbox-archlinux-modules
virtualbox-archlinux-modules (testing)
virtualbox-modules
virtualbox-modules (testing)
That might mean, most notably, that infrared ports and cdemu-driven image mounts won't work with the lts kernel (or at least should not without pulling in the normal kernel).

I have a problem with Farmville on facebook,the game doesn't fit in its frame (I don't have this prblem when using Linux) so I can't game properly

I have a problem with the game Farmville on facebook.
When I go to the game ,the game doesn't fit in the frame (of Adobe flasplayer) ,so I can't game properly ,because features fall outside the frame.
I don't have this problem when I game on a notebook with Linux,there ,the game fits the frame exactly,so the problem is not with Adobe flashplayer,but with Windos 7 in combination with Firefox?

What are analogous shared libraries that can be called using a call library function to user32.dll and lvtoolbox.dll when using Linux and Mac?

I am wondering if anyone is familiar with how to get similar information with a LV program using a Linux shared library as well as the corrolate Mac library to the Windows user32.dll and lvtoolbox.dll. I specifically am trying to get system metrics such as screen resolution information and cursor information as well as being able to set mouse position. I am trying to convert a LV Windows program to these other operating systems and I am unfamiliar with these platforms.
Thanks for your time - I really appreciate it.

There is no simple answer to that. On Linux you will likely have to call into X Server, which would be a pain to do, due to various versions and implementations of that. On the Mac there would be the difficulty that you can't call into the native ObjectiveC API but would need to find a Carbon API or something like that to do what you want.
If you seriously want to do something like this for multiplatform, you should bite the bullet and start coding an intermediate shared library in C. This library would export a LabVIEW friendly C API and access whatever system API you need to have for the particular functions. But multiplatform programming on this level is a pain in the ass, no matter what.

Remove white background when using Frames

I am trying to use a simple black frame around an image. Unfortunately a white frame is created also, from the "background." How do I remove this large white surrounding frame? Is there a way to create a framed image with no background? Why is a background considered to be necessary behind a framed image? If I try to copy only the image and its frame, so that I can paste only them into a new document, "copy" is greyed out in the menu. Why can one not copy an image that has a Photoshop frame on it? I can copy and past images with no frames.
Thanks

How are you applying the frame to your image?
Simply open your image through File->Open.
When your image has been opened, go to content pane and double click the frame that you want to apply.
The frame would be applied and there wont be any white background.
You can also adjust the image inside the frame. Just double click the image inside the frame and you you would get the option to drag the image to adjust or to zoom in or zoom out.
Please describe if you are using any other workflow.

Removing .html extension when using MUSE

After creating my website with MUSE, I uploaded to the Adobe Business Catalyst (BC), but couldn't remove the .html extension. However, if you create a page using just BC, the extension will automatically be gone by default.
Once you've uploaded your MUSE site to BC, edit your page's HTML CODE. At the top of the HTML CODE, remove <!DOCTYPE html>. Also go through the HTML and remove the .html from all links pointing to pages within your website such as "index.html". It would then be just "index". Or "about.html" -> "about". You can leave links pointing to facebook or twitter or anywhere outside of your website alone.
Also you will need to edit the page url name. It will say "http://yourdomain.com/index.html" Just remove the .html. This is located at the top of the edit page page on BC, ***NOT IN THE HTML CODE***.
I'm not sure how to do PHP, but I don't think MUSE creates PHP anyway. Typically you would have to just use the .htaccess Rewrite.

You are right on. When you upload files from Muse to BC you are creating the pages on upload and until you go into BC and update the URLs in Site Manager > Pages for each page it will be .html. The only note I would add is that you don't need to adjust "index.html" file URLs in BC. If you have a page called "index.html" in the folder "contact" then you only need to adjust the links in your HTML to point to "http://yoursite.com/contact/" and BC will serve the index.html file without showing that filename in the browser URL bar. If you, instead, have a file called "contact.html" in your BC root folder then, yes. Just go into the BC admin and update the URL of the page there. You can leave the .html or .htm extension on the file but BC will serve it without the extension since you specified that in BC's Admin.

Freezes (crashes) when using BFS-patched kernels

I've been trying several BFS-patched kernels since a few months ago and when I'm using them it almost always ends up with a complete freeze of my computer within a few hours: the mouse pointer doesn't move anymore, CTRL-ALT-F1 doesn't do anything, the only thing I can do is keep the power button pressed for 4 seconds to switch my computer off.
The crashes/freezes often happen when clicking a button in Firefox, but it also happened when opening Firefox, or closing a game.
The kernels I have tried are kernel26-pentium-m (kernel 2.6.34 with Zen patchset) and kernel26-bfs (kernel 2.6.35 with BFS patch) from AUR.
I'm running XFCE4 on an Asus A6G laptop (Pentium-M, ATI Radeon 9700 mobility with xf86-video-ati.)
I'm simply not getting this kind of unexpected crashes with non-patched kernels, even those I have configured and built myself.
Anyone having the same symptoms? Any idea about the problem or how to solve it?
Alternatively, any solution to improve video playback and reduce input lag in video games that take 100% cpu time without resorting to BFS is welcome .

Hey there, im the maintainer of the kernel26-pentium-m
Actually I've updated the kernel to the 2.6.35 version, and provided link for the binaries (check the AUR entry :: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33104 )
I don't have any problems with it, but im using chromium, not firefox.
Still, you should check /var/log/Xorg.0.log
edit: the idea would be to 'diff' the two config files :s
good luck though
edit2 :: notice that you still need the kernel-headers (kernel sources) for compiling the graphical driver (nvidia or ATI catalyst in your case)
ive put also the kernel26-pentium-m-headers binary package in the same dir as the binary package for the kernel.

MX200 G2 Remove Self-view When Using Far Side Camera Control

I have a new MX200 G2 which is working great. The one feature I need to remove is the self-view while the far side is moving the MX200's camera. We use this for telepsych visits and it's very distracting for the patient sitting in the room with the MX200 see how the physician on the other end of the call is moving their camera. Here are a few settings I changed with no luck. The self-view is gone, but when the camera moves or zooms, the self-view appears for a short time.
Config/Video
"camCtrlPip CallSetup" = duration 1 second and mode off.
"selfview Default" = fullscreen = off, mode = on, on monitor role = first, PIPPositon = lowerleft
This seems to remove the self-view for everything other than camera movement during a call. What have I missed?? I didn't see any settings in the experimental mode either.

I looked through the admin guide and even on some of our endpoints, don't think what you're looking for is possible.

How do I remove automatic margins when using list tags?

Hi there,
i'm trying to create a list of links on my webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. I've created a .li tag using CSS so that no bullets/numbers show up and i've then created .ul a:link, ul a:hover etc compound tags to make all list items into rollovers.
However, the text in the lists indents automatically (as if I have set some sort of margin) and is thus, out of line with the text above it. No margin/padding is set in any of the CSS elements so I am confused.
Any help would be appreciated.

yeah sure...

Remove xml declarations when using xslt

Hi, i have created an xslt which transforms an xml file and then imports the information into a mysql database. It works and imports the information into the database but it also brings across the xml delcarations and the node names.
Is there a coldfusion way to remove these declarations, all i want is the information itself brought into the database.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Adam,
here is the code from the xsl file:

Satellite A500-1GL: Is it advisable to remove battery when using mains

I know this is a silly question but its actually something i don't know so thought i would ask.
I nearly always plug my notebook into the mains power supply (Sat a500 1gl)
Just wondering do you actually have to keep the battery installed even when using mains.
Or is it actually advisable to remove the battery when using mains?
I did not know if the battery should always be in place.
Thanks for your help
torti

I use notebooks for 10 years now and i have changed several of them. To be clear I use it daily for my business and it is always connected to the mains but I have never removed the battery.
At the moment I use 3 years old Satellite P200. Battery was never removed but if I try to use it on battery power supply I can work almost two hours without problems. Satellite A500 is one of the newest notebook models with battery of the latest generation so it is not so sensitive as old one and I don't think you must remove it all the time. What you can is to use it from time to time on battery only to make it empty and make full load again.
Many people here have different opinion and at least it is your decision what to do.

Computer goes power-off when using flash player

Hi,
When using Linux (both Fedora 20 and openSuse 13.1), the latest updates installed, with latest flash player, recently my computer either starts rebooting continuously or just goes power-off. This happens between 15 seconds to 1 minute into a video. Earlier I thought it was the computer hardware being at fault, but after thoroughly cleaning it, it still happens and without playing a flash video, the computer just keeps running. List of my hardware (from dmesg): AMD Sempron(tm) Processor 3100+, ATI RV620 LE [Radeon HD 3450] video, 2 GB RAM.
Thanks for any suggestion or solution...
H.

It's either graphics drivers or a heat problem (but that would be more the turn-off, but not the rebooting symptom).
You can disable hardware acceleration in Flash to try and avoid it.

[SOLVED] 'ata3: EH complete' errors only when using GNOME

Hello,
when I use GNOME as my DE, I start to get 'ata3: EH complete' errors on dmesg. ata3 is where my hard drive is connected to. Usually one would get those messages if the hard drive was going to failure, but the hard drive seems to be OK (smartctl and programs like Palimpsest gives no error).
It seems something related to power management.
Any ideas? This is a WDC WD2500BEVS-22UST0 hard-drive (250GB 2,5") on an Acer 7720 laptop. The disk controller is
00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 82801HBM/HEM (ICH8M/ICH8M-E) SATA AHCI Controller (rev 03)
I am using the LTS kernel if that changes anything.
Thanks!

This is parameter -W 1 passed to hdparm via pm-tools. (/usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/harddrive)
Nothng bad with it. Anyway revise if some parameters are too agressive for your disk, edit values in /etc/pm/power.d/harddrive (new file) based on /usr/lib/pm-utils/power.d/harddrive.

How can I configure a slightly different initrd for lts kernel ?

Hi,
Because of the uas problem with my external usb3 harddisk (see uas problem in linux 3.15.1, need advice on the problem), I needed to add a quirk file: /etc/modprobe.d/ignore_uas.conf
It works fine with the standard kernel, but with the lts kernel, it causes systemd-modules-load.service to fail. I think it is because the lts kernel does not know this quirk.
Is there an elegant way to make mkinitcpio ignore this file for the lts initrd by configuration ?
I really do not want to remove / re-add this file every time one of the kernels is updated. Or when both kernels are updated at once, I do not want to remove it, create the lts initrd once more manually, then re-add it ...
Thanks and Regards,
Markus

OK, back to topic :-)
I just did a bit of research about /etc/mkinitcpio.d/ (indeed, I already have two .preset files), but I could not find any information about excluding files from /etc.
Maybe I should have asked about how to exclude files in general.
What I found out is that the files from /etc/modprobe.d are added by /usr/lib/initcpio/install/modconf.
My current idea is to copy it to /usr/lib/initcpio/install/modconf-lts and change it a bit.
But here comes the next problem: For this solution, I would need tow different hooks lists for the standard and the lts kernel. But te hooks list is configured in the global /etc/mkinitcpio.conf, not in the preset files.

LTS kernel not working on new computer

I recently purchased a new computer and installed arch on it. The stock kernel works fine, but I would like to use the lts-kernel and thats where the problems begin. When seeing the shell for the first time the text is not very clear and it seems to be a problem with the graphics settings. I have a GeForce GT610 GPU and have installed nouveau drivers.
Dmesg tells me the following:

I have tried using the official nvidiaa drivers, but the same problem occurs, and besides I would rather use open source drivers.
Anyone who has an idea of whats causing me problems? Any help would be much appreciated. Is there any additional information I can give you which could help locate the error?

that's probably not what you're looking for, but i would recomend not to use the LTE kernel. i've tried it a few times (because of some overheating-after-suspend/resume issue), but i always ended up with more problems than i had with the current kernel -- which has been exceptionally stable for the last 1.5 years i've been using arch.
i think LTE may be fine if you run a server without fancy graphics and a very limited set of packages/services. generally things get fixed for the current kernels much faster than for LTE, in my experience.
