Settings Application with GUI?

I'm an avid user of the i3 window manager. However, although I'm comfortable-ish with the command line, I'd much rather use a GUI for most things if I can. One thing I want is a GUI for is system-wide settings, like mouse speed, display settings, keyboard layout, user accounts management, etc etc. When I used GNOME for a little bit a while ago, I noticed it had a GUI settings app. Are there any standalone ones that I can use without using GNOME, KDE, or whatever other desktop environment? Thank you in advance! And also, I don't to use i3-gnome package in the AUR or set i3 to be the window manager for another desktop environment. I want to be able to just use i3 normally, and then launch this settings application just like I would launch any other application

Short answer: No.The closes thing I've seen to something like this is OpenSUSE's YAST, but that only works because OpenSUSE consists of components chosen by the developers; the same thing just isn't possible on a distribution like Arch.
Long answer: GNOME has a graphical settings application because it's used to configure GNOME components that are integrated in a fairly tight way. Without a desktop environment, things like networking, pointer device setup, desktop wallpapers and toolkit themes are all handled by separate programs that need to be configured individually. The only way around that is to build some sort of unified interface---i.e., a desktop environment.

Runniing Application with GUI interface

Before when i have run a application it has been through the DOS terminal , thus without a GUI. My experince with GUI has been with Applets and running them through a browser or the appletviewer.
The question is how do I run an application program with a GUI interface for testing purposes etc.
Any help would be great cheers.

You can run your application from the command line just like from you DOS terminal programs. All you need is the main method defined for you application in some class file. For example:
public static void main( String[] args ) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.getContentPane().add( new JLabel("Hello world" );
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible( true );
Then run this code by:
java my.test.HelloWorld

SSH client with GUI?

Hello. I am using SSH for my webpage, and its a bit hard to use commands to upload stuff all the time.
Is there any application with GUI?

Bebo wrote:Another method would be to use sshfs (available in the Extra repos) and "mount" the web page account. That way you can access your web page files just as you access files locally. Since you seem to know how to use ssh from command line, a sshfs mount shouldn't be too difficult to do
It is the same with nautilus The webpage is now "mounted" and i may access it easy

Single Sign On and Application with Web Services

My Application Server is set as partner application for SSO so for example this address: http://myserver:80 is SSO enabled.
I have two ADF applications on it with jspx pages and the ADF security is enabled on them. SSO works for these applications (for jspx files).
I added a new application with a web service and deployed this new application. It is on the same application server as those two applications and its security provider in identity management, SSO enabled. Its address is something like:
http://myserver:80/newWebService-Project1-context-root/MyWebService1SoapHttpPort
So I expect to be unable to test web service, but I can and I am not prompted for user name and password.
Regards
Farbod

Thank you.
Yes I had cleared the cache and in these cases I always use a new browser also.
I deployed a third application without declarative security options (ADF application, no security settings) and this application also didn't ask me for user information though it was under SSO.

Farbod

Need assistance creating applications with superseedence to uninstall Office 2010, Lync 2010 and then install Office 365 click to run 2013

We are getting ready in a few months to uninstall our locally installed Office 2010 and head to the cloud with Office 365 2013. I have created applications to uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 and then added them to the supersedence tab for Office 365
office 2013 click to run with appv5.
When deploying the office 365 2013 application it does not uninstall office 2010 or lync 2010 with the supersedence. I am able to manually uninstall Office 2010 and Lync 2010 with the command lines I am using in the applications.
The application uninstall for Office 2010 is:
The application uninstall is an exe so I created an application, created a deployment type with the location of our Office 2010 admin point, installation program and uninstall program are set with the same line as I have tried to deploy it separately and
also as a supersedence in the Office 365 application setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config "\\sccmserver\share\Office2010\ProPlus.ww\silentuninstallconfig.xml. The silentuninstallconfig.xml was created from the original config.xml file and edited
to these settings:<Configuration Product="ProPlus">
<Display Level="none" CompletionNotice="NO" SuppressModal="yes" AcceptEula="yes" />
<Setting Id="Reboot" Value="Never" />
<Setting Id="SETUP_REBOOT" Value="NEVER" />
<OptionState Id="ProductFiles" State="Local" Children="force" />
</Configuration>
The detection method is the folder path to see that office 14 exists. When I deploy this the machines finish with success showing this exists, but does not uninstall Office 2010.
running the command line manually mapped to this location on a machine uninstalls office 2010 without issue.
Lync 2010 uninstall:
Lync is an exe so I am using the LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall. The application is in the supersedence tab for Office 365 2013. This never installs. If I create a softare distribution and deploy it on its own it uninstalls without issue.
We are going to use Lync 2013 with our office 365 2013 installation so we need to uninstall this. The detection method for lync is file system folder and the Microsoft lync folder for detection.
MS Office 15 (Office 365) was created with the click to run tool. I can install this with the application I created using the appv5 package created with the click to run tool. The issue is we need Office 2010 and Lync 2010 uninstalled first.
Having both versions of Office installed in test has caused issues where Office 15 365 will not list in add and remove programs and cannot be uninstalled even with the fix it article to remove office 2013.
I have looked at many articles and so far it is not working for us. Any help appreciated to get us to the cloud.
Thanks,
Brit

The applications I have for uninstall of office 2010 and Lync 2010 for some reason do not uninstall. Manually testing the command lines they do. The detection method seems to be hanging things up. On the lync uninstall detection method I have
the setting type of file system, type folder, path c:\program files\ folder name Microsoft Lync.
I highly recommend using something other than a file/folder "exists" detection method. Installers are constantly leaving things behind due to environmental inconsistencies. It may leave files/folders behind with a schedule to delete files on next reboot.
These things are unpredictable and very hard to use. I just use the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall" Registry location. There you can actually key off the "Product Version" DWORD as well which gives you an even more accurate method
to determine if the application you are trying to deploy (or expect to exist) is truly there. This, of course, being if you are not using an MSI. If you have MSI technology ALWAYS use the product code unless the person writing the MSI chooses to use the same
product code for every version release of their product. In which case, Use the registry method.
As far as getting the supersedence and everything working. You need to start from the basics. Create Applications for all of the apps you want to remove. Make sure they install and uninstall properly (seems like overkill but it isn't that hard). Once you
have working install/uninstall applications then you can easily apply supersedence to your new applications with a setting of Uninstall on the superseded apps you should have no problem getting rid of them. I have done this for numerous things.
For example, I did this with Cisco Jabber to replace older versions of jabber, older versions of cisco unified personal communicator and lync and OSC. All of these replaced versions had to have an Application but once it was in it took two seconds to apply
all the supersedence rules and now I know when I push that software out no matter version is running on any machine it will pull all the old apps off and put the new one on.

RRMXP does not work with GUI 7.20

Hi Experts,
I have the following problem. RRMXP does not work with GUI 7.20, BEX 7.0 launches and I have to enter proper user and password. (I get SAP Logon screen with listed systems)
It works properly with GUI 7.10 and I have not to log into BEX.
Did anyone encounter such problem? Does anyone know what causes the problem?
Regards&thanks
Marek

Hi,
RRMXP uses OLE to launch Microsoft Excel together with the SAP BEx add-in. Then it use a macro within BEx to open the workbook. check whether BEx is not installed properly (run SAPBEXC.XLA under C:Program FilesSAPFrontendBW) or the Excel macro security settings prevent execution of the macros.
Also Check the below link it has some note to follow
RRMX and RRMXP does not open the query and workbook

Problem signing code for application with embedded runtime

Hi,
I have an Adobe Air application which I am publishing with the runtime embedded. There are lots of reasons for publishing this way.
I have already seen an unknown publisher message after signing on Windows 8 and a tester reported the same thing on Windows 7. According to the cert issuer (DigiCert) I need to have an Extended Validation (EV) certificate to get by the Windows 8 issue, but there was no explanation on the Windows 7 issue.
As the windows file is essentially a folder wiith ".app" appended to it's name, I'm not sure how signing (which I am doing with the Signature tab on the Flash GUI) ensures that the executable contained in that file is signed.
Can anyone tell me anything about code signing when publishing an AIR application with embedded runtime?
Best,
Chris McLaughlin

Not that I can think of. What OS are they running? Do they have the shared runtime also installed?

URGENT: How to fix an application with the screen resolution?

HI everyone,
I am desprate and need help.. I have developed an application with Java swing and awt (JFrames, JPanels and...). This application displays perfectly with 1280 x 1024 screen resolution but in a situation where the screen does not support this resolution, a part of my application will not appear. I can not even scroll down to see the reste of the components. Does any one has any idea that how I can resolve this problem! I mean how either I can make my JFrame or panel to scroll down or to change the size of the components according to the resolution!
Thank you very much and wait for a reply :)

One of the possible reason of the problem is you must have hardcoded the size of panels and other container that is just right for the screen resolution 1280 x 1024.
The solution is set the size of the containers that depends on the resolution of the screen.
You have not explained much detail about the scrolling problem. But I suppose that you have a scrollpane in you GUI and you want to scroll the component inside it even at another resolution.
try using this
if p is the panel that is added in the scrollpane then set its prefered size.
p.setPreferredSize(resolution dependant size).

Building application with wordsub

I am building an application that uses some of the report generation toolkit. If I build it, it comes up with errors relating the the wordsub.vi.
I followed the guidance, which says to add in the Word Dynamic VIs.vi (as well as the Excel Dynamic VIs.vi). I add them in using the "add dynamic vi" button under source files. But during the build, I get the following error: Error 1003 occurred at C:\Documents and Settings\James Nauman\My Documents\LabVIEW Data\<"My application name">\internal.llb\_Word Dynamic VIs.vi
My application is under a file in c: and the Word (Excel) Dynamic VIs.vi are in the original addon/wordsub dir.
Jim

Thanks, the Word Dynamic VI's.vi did have a broken arrow. I had to replace the write jpg vi, then everything worked.
Is there a good reference for file structuring. It seems half my problems are related to vi's linking,relinking to somewhere else than where intended. I am trying to build several variations of one application with minor changes. I open vi (A) up and everything works. But, then I open up vi (B) and everything is linking to (A). I cure everything and close (B), but then when I go back and open (A) everything is linking back to (B). So on and so forth.
I have up to 5 variations on an application, and pretty soon everything is linking all over the place.
I need some basic references (with examples) of how to structure my librarys, directorys, applications, subvis, and what the differences all mean. The getting started with labView is too general. Are there any knowledge base areas discussing this and common errors?
Thanks for the help.

Nokia C3-01 Touch messaging application with qwert...

It will be good if we can have touch application with qwerty setup for messaging. Also, why angry birds game is not developed for S40 6th edition phone...? Will it be available soon?

It's been two days since I've been using the Nokia C3-01.
So far the phone froze once while the radio was playing in the background and the display stopped showing. I just took the batteries out and put it back in and everything went back to normal.
During a call, the screen autolocks which is weird because I can't press the mute or loudspeaker button on the front. I'm too used to the iPhone where it won't lock the screen during a phone call unless I physically press the lock button myself.
Occasionally the phone would show a white screen for several seconds and the white screen would go away and the screen would go back to what I was seeing before.
The alarm clock rings for one minute if uninterrupted. This is a bad because if I need to wake up with the alarm clock and I don't consciously hear the alarm clock in that one minute, the alarm clock does not ring again.
This phone doesn't have the option to disable autolock. I need to disable autolock because if I am connected to a WiFi connection, I wish to be continually connected and, therefore, need autolock to be disabled to maintain connection.
This phone doesn't have screen brightness adjustment.
This phone is advertised as a smartphone, but some people say this phone isn't a smartphone. I don't want a smartphone because AT&T will automatically charge you a data plan without your prior consent when you are using a smartphone with your SIM card. So far I haven't been charged a data plan, but I am expecting this might happen in the future.
These are my worse criticisms I have for the Nokia C3-01. But, in my opinion, if you can tolerate these negatives, I think the Nokia C3-01 is a good phone.
But you liking the Nokia C3-01 would depend on what you need to use the phone for, and everyone has very different preferences.

Help starting with GUI

I am working on programing a program for my department, Meteorology, at school so that I can download images every five minutes. I have a version of this that works in the command line, but I want to add a gui to it now. I am not really sure how to start. I know that I need a drop down box with all of the radar sites and their call numbers, and a radio button so they can select the type of image that the user wants to download. These two parts then make up the URL of the image so I can download it. I tried makeing a gui by making each one of these components a separate class. Basically, I am wondering if I should start off by making the GUI all one class, or if each peice of it should be its own class that then gets tied together in a different part of the program. any help with GUI would be great as I am new to this step of programing having only worked in Java command line and Fortran 77. Thanks
Neil

Hi,
You can create a GUI from within one class. GUIs can be created for applications or applets. The following code is a simple GUI for an application using Swing components. You may need JDK 1.3.1_6.
To make your GUI functional you would need to add or implement Event Handlers preferably using the delegation model. Each control(buttons, textfield, etc) you need to define the event object(button clicks), the event source(button), and an event handler(understands the event and executes code that processes the event).
import javax.swing.*;
public class Customer
//Variable for frame window
static JFrame frameObj;
static JPanel panelObj;
//Variables of labels
JLabel labelCustName;
JLabel labelCustCellNo;
JLabel labelCustPackage;
JLabel labelCustAge;
//Variables for data entry controls
JTextField textCustName;
JTextField textCustCellNo;
JComboBox comboCustPackage;
JTextField textCustAge;
public static void main(String args[])
     //Creating the JFrame object
     frameObj = new JFrame("Customer Details Form");
     //Setting the close option
     frameObj.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
     //Making the frame visible
     frameObj.setVisible(true);
frameObj.setSize(300,300);
Customer customerObj = new Customer();
public Customer()
     //Add appropriate controls to the frame in the constructor
     //Create panel
     panelObj = new JPanel();
frameObj.getContentPane().add(panelObj);
//Setting close option
frameObj.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//Create and add the appropriate controls
//Initializing labels
labelCustName = new JLabel("Customer Name: ");
labelCustCellNo = new JLabel("Cell Number: ");
labelCustPackage = new JLabel("Package: ");
labelCustAge = new JLabel("Age: ");
//Initializing data entry controls
textCustName = new JTextField(30);
textCustCellNo = new JTextField(15);
textCustAge = new JTextField(2);
String packages[] = {"Executive", "Standard"};
comboCustPackage = new JComboBox(packages);
//Adding controls for customer name
panelObj.add(labelCustName);
panelObj.add(textCustName);
//Adding controls for cell number
panelObj.add(labelCustCellNo);
panelObj.add(textCustCellNo);
//Adding controls for Package
panelObj.add(labelCustPackage);
panelObj.add(comboCustPackage);
//Adding controls for customer age
panelObj.add(labelCustAge);
panelObj.add(textCustAge);

How to run applications with options in IDEs like Netbeans

Hi, I'm new to the Netbeans IDE and I'm wondering how to run applications with options.
Normally I'd enter the following in the command line:
java -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=mykeystore -Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword="..." TLSServer
java -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=mytruststore -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword="..." TLSClient localhostProblem is, I've no idea how to do the same thing in IDE's like Netbeans and I can't any settings to add options like "-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStore=mykeystore" before running the application. Any help will be appreciated.

I've fixed the problem!
I think the problem was in the way I was linking to the libraries. I ended up deleting all my hand made ANT settings and instead exporting the settings from my Flash Builder project, and just using those.

Flash CS6 does not not create an .app file when I Output as application with runtime embedded

I am attempting to create an application with runtime embedded, but the process keeps failing without throwing an error. Specifically: in Air Settings, I select Output as: Application with runtime embedded. When I build it this way, Flash tells me that it's created Telepath Tactics - Steam.app...
...but no .app file ever actually appears in the folder:
This happens regardless of what I include in the Library Path, and regardless of the Default Linkage settings. (When I tell it to Output as: Windows installer, by contrast, the appropriate exe file appears without a problem.)
I'm using Flash Professional CS6 v. 12.0.0.481 on Windows 7, 64-bit.

I should note that this only occurs on certain windows machines. I am still waiting to hear which ones.
I personally do not experience this so I have to rely on Client feedback.
On my machine it works fine without Flash installed.
