"Save as" function of meld not working with gksu

Hi there,
I used to run $ gksu meld to merge changes of my config files in /etc.
After editing I was able to select Save as from the context menu and overwrite the old config file with the modified .pacnew file. This is no longer working. I can save the modified .pacnew file under its existing name but cannot save it under the name of an exisiting file, thus overwriting the existing one.
This used to work, however.
Running $ gksu meld from the terminal does not reveal any hintful information:
~ gksu meld /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist.pacnew

Does someone have an idea what could be the reason?

Hi Orschiro, same problem here.
I've filed a bug report in the meld tracker: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=737441
See the (quick&dirty) workaround I've applied.
Cheers

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Adobe Reader 9.2 / Actobat Reader 9.3

AcroPDF ActiveX print functions are not working with Reader 9.2/9.3. Tried ActiveX print functions like printPages(), printAll(), printWithDialog(), none of them is working. Tried on platforms: XP 32 bit and Win7 32 bit. These print functions all work fine with Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0 on XP 32 bit or Win7 32 bit.
The way I have my setup: I have created a C/C++ project with AcroPDF MFC ActiveX classes. I have created an AcroPDF object in there, and then calling it's LoadFile() function passing a pdf file in the parameter. Then calling the printPages() or printAll() function. With Adobe Reader 9.1.0. or 8.2.0 or 8.1.0, printing is starting through the default printer without any problem. As soon as I update the reader version to 9.2 or more, the same code stops working.
Is anybody noticing any similar issue? Any info on this will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Unfortunately printWithDialog() is also not working. Actually none of the print functions like Print(), printWithDialog(), printPages(), printPagesFit(), printAll(), printAllFit() are working. All of them works fine though with older reader.
BTW, what security related changes are there for printPages() and printAll()? Can you please elaborate on that? Is there any workaround?

I bought Numbers because my Excel files would not work with Mavericks. How can I import a non-functioning Excel file into numbers? (As of now, the file NAME transfers but data does not.)

HI Dave,
I'm surprised you get no message when you attempt opening the Excel document in Numbers.
I'm assuming Numbers 3.1, since you are running Mavericks.
Does the Numbers file that opens show any content?
Does it contain a table?
How large?
Does it contain more than one tab (indicating more than one sheet)?
Do those other tabs contain a table?
Have you checked those tables for data content?
There have been cases in the past of imported documents opening with white text on a white background, giving the appearance of containing nothing. Check for this by selecting a block of cells, then applying a Fill colour or a Text colour using the Format button (paintbrush).
I'd also suggest attempting to open the Excel files using LibreOffice, which can be downloaded from the linked website.
Regards,
Barry

Re: auto save not working with microsoft office on OS Lion

Is there anyone else having issues with the auto-save/versions not working with Microsoft office on the OS Lion Upgrade?

It seems (from some testing I've just done) that:
1. It's not an explicit choie or preference - it's just there, in the background, invisible
2. Your textedit document has to have been saved once (i.e given a name), or you've reopened a previously saved document
If those conditions are met, Textedit will keep the doc saved.
My test was:
Open existing docuement
Make changes
Wait a few seconds
Quit Textedit
Reopen Textedit - and there's the doc with all the changes.
I ran the test again, quitting Textedit immeditaley I had made the change - and it saved the change successfully.
Hope that helps

"Next" and "Previous" functionality on UIX tables not working with 10g

With new release of JDeveloper(10G), the "Next" and "Previous" navigation buttons/links on UIX tables are not working. I tried different approaches:
1. It does not work with Data Controls built from Java Beans or from TopLink.
2. I tried without using Data Controls and it still does not work.
I shows "Next" and "Previous" buttons on the page. But it shows all records on the page rather then showing limited records. Say for example if the block size is 5 and total number of records are 15, it shows all 15 records in the table but the "next" and "Previouds" button would say "1-5 of 15".
Did any of you observe the same behaviour?

Hi Shital -
Thanks for the additional info...
When I said that the total number of records is 15, I
meant that my tableData's DataObjectList contains 15
entries. (In case of DataControls you don't even use
DataObjectList, but for my non data control
applications I used DataObjectList). You are saying
that If I want to display only 5 records per page
then I will need to provide a DataObjectList with
five items. Then for next five records from 6-10 I
will have to program in such a way that my method
call returns 6-10 records.That's correct. In the case where you are explicitly providing data to the table via a DataObjectList, you need to feed the data to the table in page size blocks - and you also need to handle the table's goto event to scroll the table to the next/previous block of data.
In previous version of
UIX(2.1.7) I never had to program for next and
previous buttons. UIX tables used to take care of
that. That's why I am so surprised.It sounds like you must have been using the <bc4j:table> component. Is that the case?
Getting back to your original issue...
1. It does not work with Data Controls built
from Java Beans or from TopLink.I believe that this is a bug in the preview release - and I'm fairly sure this will be addressed by production. In production, ADF should automatically handle wiring up table scrolling for you when binding your table to a data control - whether the data control is implemented via JavaBeans, Toplink, or BC4J. I believe that in the preview release, scrolling only working when binding to a BC4J data control.

Satellite M35 - Brightness Not working with WXP SP2

After formatting and installing XP SP2, Brighness function keys do not work. Can anyone please point me to what type of drivers I need to download to get the Brightness working? I tried to install Power Saver from Toshiba site BUT I get error messages. Nto sure if this driver is for Service Pack 2 of XP.
Any assistance you can give in getting the M35 Satellite Brightness working with XP Service Pack 2 would be appreciate.
Thank you in advance.

Hello
Try please to install Toshiba Hotkey Utility for Display Devices for Windows XP. I dont know if just this utility is responsible for that but fact is that you should install all Toshiba specific stuff and combination of those tools result with full functionality.
If you dont have Tools & Utilities CD please check Toshiba US download page and there you will find everything you need.

USB Ultranav keyboard does not work with Windows 7

Hi, I recently installed Windows 7 to my Dell Latitude XT tablet and was disappointed to learn that my USB Ultranav Keyboard only works as a keyboard and not a 'mouse'; that is, the ultranav devices (touchpad, buttons, and trackpoint) do not work. I have not had problems with the keyboard functioning in XP or Vista, so it was surprising to find that it will not work with W7.
I thought all was going well when W7 recognized the Ultranav keyboard when I plugged-in the device, but all did not go as planned. I let W7 find the drivers through Windows update, but then once they didn't prove to work, I followed W7's directions of reinstalling the drivers in its version of 'Compatability Mode', but that still didn't prove to work. I would really appreciate any insights into this problem as it is one of my only (current) hesitancies about using W7.
Thank you for your time and attention to my inquiry.
Cheers,
Tsugazi

Hi, strangely enough, I got it to work. Here's the what I did differently (for those with a similar problem):
After installing W7, I plugged in my keyboard and let Windows find the drivers. When this didn't provide functionality of the ultranav devices, I tried installing the Ultranav drivers, and when Windows said there was a compatability problem, I then opted to let Windows re-install the Ultranav driver. Unfortunately, this didn't provide functionality either.
Jump ahead 12 hrs and re-install of W7 (for other reasons). This time out, I installed the Ultranav driver, THEN plugged in my keyboard. Everything works now! I don't know that this sequence will work for everyone, but it did for me.
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers,

HP AiO on iOS7 document capture not working with iPad2?

Has anyone else found that the Document Capture does not work with the latest version of HP AiO Remote on iOS7? The app grumbles about "The document capture feature is only available if the camera on your iPad is over 5 megapixels" - any solutions to this problem as we have about 95 iPads out in the business that need to use this function regularly

Hi VijayJois,
I understand that you are getting an error message when trying to use the capture feature in HP's AiO Remote app.
The capture feature in the most recent version of the app will give the error message that you are seeing. A work around to this is to take a photo instead of using capture. The photo is now available in the AiO app in your camera roll to send to the printer, or send via email.

Jabber Client for Windows video not working with ManyCam

Hi everyone. We've been kicking around the Cisco Jabber client and I've noticed a small issue when it comes to video. I use a software package called ManyCam (http://www.manycam.com/) which creates a web cam that allows me to put effects on my actual web cam's video feeds. Primarily I use it when I'm in a remote office and have a video stream back to the main office I can put effects on the screen like "On a conference call" and such so people won't get upset when they approach me and I fail to respond to them. I use it with other applications just fine but with Cisco Jabber (v9.2.0 Build 496) when I attempt to set it the ManyCam camera as the video source in the video configuration of Cisco Jabber the preview doesn't appear. As well when I connect to another Cisco Jabber user they do not see my video stream.
Anyone else notice this? Or does anyone else have a link to some similar software that will give me equivalent functionality to ManyCam that works with Cisco Jabber?
Thanks!

Only if they are on a Mac using iChat(gmail account).

Modifer keys do not work with mouse in Illustrator

Below is a copy of a bug report I just submitted to Adobe. I don't suppose any users have run across this and found a solution or workaround?
I found someone else with this problem in an archived topic thread, but the only response that poor fellow got was an accusation of not following instructions (His problem wasn't user error, BTW).
Thanks
******BUG******
Concise problem statement:
Modifer keys do not work with mouse: For example, free transform or rotate behaviors that require "Click-Ctrl" .
Steps to reproduce bug:
1. select object
2. select free transform tool
3. left click (without releasing) a corner of the bounding box.
4. start dragging
5. press ctrl
Results:
object behaves as though the ctrl key was not pressed. i.e. the cursor does not change shape and the object scales rather than distorts.
Expected results: The cursor should change shape as the ctrl key is pressed and the object should distort rather than scale.
Additional information: This behavior is intermittent. Occasionally Illustrator recognizes the "Click-Ctrl" combination and behaves exactly as the help file predicts it will. The cursor changes shape and the object distorts rather than scales. I can offer no rhyme or reason for when Illustrator will behave as advertised and when it will ignore the modifier keys.
The example above involves the free transform tool, but the problem occurs just as often with other tool behaviors that require a modifier key + mouse combination.
Primarily using Wacom Intuos3 tablet. (with latest drivers), but have also tried combinations with microsoft mouse or both mice installed.
Also, immediately after an occurrence Illustrator bug, left AI open, went to a different app that uses mouse+modifier (Ctrl+Click). That different app recognizes Ctrl+Click with no problems whatsoever.

Thanks Guys,
Good to know it's working for you. I guess that's the nature of intermittent bugs. Of course, Adobe's bug report form has a field for version, which I, of course, filled in. Sorry I didn't add it to this post. I'm using the latest version CS3 v13.0.2.
Stephen,
Sorry I was not more clear when I said, "For example, ...". I was talking about the modifier keys not working with several different tools. The Free Transform tool advertises functionality that is supposed to work with a "Click (down, but don't release)then hold down Ctrl" combination. The Rotate tool advertises a behavior that is supposed to work with an "Alt-Click" combination. These are just 2 examples of the modifier keys not working. I focused primarily on one example in the bug report(ctrl after and in addition to click in the free transform tool, not alt-click in the rotate tool).
Here is what I expect(quoted from Adobe's CS3 help file)
(From the "Distort Objects with the Free transform tool" help topic)
"Select one or more objects.
Select the Free Transform tool .
Start dragging a corner handle on the bounding box (not a side handle), and then do one of the following:
Hold down Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) until the selection is at the desired level of distortion.
Hold down Shift+Alt+Ctrl (Windows) or Shift+Option+Command (Mac OS) to distort in perspective."
(from the "Rotate an object by a specific angle" help topic:)
You can control the exact angle of rotation with the Rotate command.
Select one or more objects.
"Do one of the following:
To rotate around the center point, choose Object > Transform > Rotate, or double-click the Rotate tool.
To rotate around a different reference point, select the Rotate tool. Then Alt‑click (Windows) or Option‑click (Mac OS) where you want the reference point to be in the document window.
Enter the rotation angle in the Angle text box...."
These Tool based mouse-key combinations do occasionally work as they are supposed to, so I know what the expected results are supposed to look like, but whether they work or not appears to depend on the phase of the moon, the day of the week, and the color of the president's underwear.
Other non-tool based mouse-key combinations in Illustrator work consistently all the time - Ctrl-A for Select All as just one example that always works.
Thanks Again

Function keys are not working correctly

I've been looking all over the various threads and I can't find an answer that solves my problem.
Here are the details:
I bought the computer in the U.S. where I live.
I have a iMac 2.4GHz intel Core 2 Duo EMC 2133 with a 20" screen. Bought it new in February 2008.
I have Mac OS X 10.5.8 (I am waiting for my order for OS Snow Leopard to come in!!)
I have been using a wireless mouse and Keyboard (Love not having cords!)
Recently, my wireless keyboard got a short and quit working. I went down to the apple store and got a new wireless keyboard.
I had the computer with me at the genius bar so, yes, the apple employee saw exactly what I have.
I took it all home got the thing all put back together and got the new keyboard paired up and working with the computer.
Here are the problems:
Went to go use the function keys while using iTunes and found they weren't working properly. The F10, F11 and F12 do not control the volume of sound as the keyboard indicates they would, they instead activate dashboard, spaces, and application windows.
Following the advice of other threads, I looked over in the system preferences and made sure the "Use all F1, F2 etc." box was unchecked (it was unchecked), things still didn't work.
I tried the fn key but it appears to not work at all it has no effect on the functioning of the function keys.
I went under keyboard shortcuts in system preferences and found the F10, F11 and F12 keys, it confirms that those keys control spaces, dashboard and application windows as they are performing but shows no options to either reassign to volume control (as marked on the keyboard) or make the fn key work.
I've gone back and forth trying various combinations of checked and unchecked boxes to see if anything would work, so far I've come up with nothing.
A couple more important or interesting facts:
Yes I have turned off and taken the batteries out of the old keyboard. My bluetooth connection currently shows it as disconnected.
I have restarted the computer.
One thing I find odd; when I go under preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse when I go under the section "Bluetooth" it shows Bluetooth mouse with the name of the mouse and the battery level. BUT nothing is showing up under bluetooth Keyboard, I can't figure out how to change this and don't know if it is contributing to the problem.
When I go under the bluetooth logo on the top bar I find the mouse and both keyboards referenced, the old keyboard is shown as disconnected and the other two are connected. I have tried to update the device's name but it doesn't seem to let me.
I have double clicked on the device under bluetooth and it shows the new keyboard as discoverable, paired and connected. Hence, I am using the new keyboard to write this inquiry.
Please, any assistance would be of great help. I have tried to be thorough in order help narrow the possible problem. Thanks!!

Hendry
Just thought I'd let you know. Our suspicions were correct, it was the OS. After I installed Snow Leopard (10.6.8) all the problems were corrected. I also updated the RAM from 1 gb to 6 gb. The mac is working all around better. Sorry it took so long to get back to everyone. My superdrive had pooped out. Rather than replace it I got an external drive from OWC connected with firewire 800. So far everything is running very well, as far as I can tell this external drive is better than the original superdrive. My superdrive has always acted funny, infact I returned the first mac I got after a week because its superdrive was also malfunctioning. Anyway, all that to say everything seems to be fully functioning again.
