Should we lock the desktop thread and start some new ones?

Lets face it, you can't read the whole thing now anyway!
I propose that we retire it and start some new threads for desktops based on WM/DE environment, so we'd have a thread each for:
· xfce
· gnome
· kde
· *box
· fvwm
And others that anyone can think of. The strength of this idea is it's biggest weakness - easy to see screenies for different desktops but you have several thread to view and can't look at it all together - but what are tabs for eh?
Vote soon!

This is so typical of you miqorz - ignorance and ignorant behaviour, as you often clearly demonstrate, is something that some people will be just be prone to.
miqorz wrote:I wouldn't have made my recent "switch" to xfce if it hadn't been for screenshots I didn't seek.
Why do you assume everyone is as narrow minded and cynical as you?
Even if we keep it in one thread most people post links to their screenies along with an "XFCE and torsmo..." type intro - what forces such ignorant people to follow the links? Nothing. So...that's a stupid arguement.
I like the idea of monthly threads and i agree that loads of seperate threads could produce TOO many BUT we could limit it to a few specifics and then "Others" - how many ion or wmii people actually post their screenies frequently?
The poll is looking very much in favour of the switch at the moment!
I think we may hold another shorter poll afterwards tho - monthly vs individual

Firefox cannot open/reload any websites after resuming from a system standby. I have to close the current window and start a new session, then it works again

I am using Firefox v 13.0.1 (Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical 1.0) on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Whenever my system resumes from standby I am not able to open/load any webpages in the Firefox session that was already running before the standby. I don't get any error message, but the page doesn't load at all. If I close the session and start a new one everything works fine.

How stopping a version and start a new one from the previous

Hi,
May be someone could help me to erase my basics questions on Robosource control.
We have to manage several versions of our product documentation and It is not clear how it is managed by robosource control. The documentation tells what can do RBSC (and it seems to be what we need) but they do not explain how to do it (prerequisites, ordered steps, etc), and I do not really succeeded. May be I missed the basics.
All our projects are added to Robosource control 3 from RoboHelp7 Html from a local directory.
In the database, we inserted them in a directory corresponding to a version V01.r01.
I would like to stop this version and start a new one V01.02 with the projects which are V01.01. What is the best way to do this:
Do I just label the directory V01.01 and "Pin" it ? In that way how can I recover all the projects and files that were labelled and pinned for version V01.01, if I need them later ?
Copy and rename directory V01.01 into V01.02 to continue the file modifications without modifiying the same project in V01.01?
My questions are quite similar to Kristen's questions.
Please can anyone help ! Thanks !

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Can't Cancel the Process Of Media Recovery Creation and Start A New One

help me cancel the process of media recovery creation and start it all over again because i found that i need four disks to make the recovery creation. i made the first disk but i need to get another three disks for the process to be completed. It says that "media recovery creation has not been completed", so i want to cancel the whole opeation and start from the beginning later when i am ready for it. How can i do that, any steps or instructions to solve this issue would be appreciated.
Computer: HP Pavilion dv6-6120se
OS: Windows 7 home premium x64
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You can only create one set of recovery discs. So once the process is completed, you will not be able to create another.

All the icons in the desktop, taskbar and start menu are messed up

I installed Windows 7 5 days ago.   Somehow all the icons in the desktop, the taskbar and the start menu have been replaced by a notepad icon. Additonally, When I click the Start button, the captions for the different icons are like "calculator.lnk", "snipping tool.lnk", etc. If I click on any of these options in the menu, instead of opening the application, it opens notepad. As if notepad had become the default application for all the links.
Why did this happen, and how can I work around it?   Looks like this is a nice bug to fix in SP1.

Hi SnowflakeCoder,
According to your problem description, it seems that the icon cache and the file associations are damaged.
I suggest we perform the following troubleshooting suggestions to check the issue.
Suggestion 1: Rebuild icon cache
=========================
1. Click “Start” and open “Computer”.
2. Click “Organize” on the Tool bar, and choose “Folder and Search Options”.
3. Then click the “View” tab, check to select the “Show hidden files and folders option”, and click “OK”.
4. After that, enter the following directory and press Enter.
%userprofile%\AppData\local
5. Find the “IconCache.db” file, and rename it as “IconCache.db.old”.
6. Close the window, and restart the computer.
Suggestion 2: Restore the Start Menu via previous versions
=========================
1.    Click “Start” and open “Computer”.
2.    Enter the following directory and press Enter.
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu
3. Right-click the “Programs” folder, and then click “Restore Previous Versions”.
4. You'll see a list of available previous versions of the folder.
5. Select a previous version of the file or folder you would to restore, click “Restore” button.
6. Please click “Restore” if the window titled Previous Versions prompts.
7. Please click “OK” when the file or the folder has been successfully restored to the previous version.
8. Click “OK” again.
If both suggestions cannot fix the issue, you may also try the System Restore which should be the easiest way to fix this issue.
Suggestion 3: Run System Restore
=========================
1. Click “Start”, type “System Restore” (without quotation marks) in the Search bar, and then click “System Restore” in the “Programs” list.
If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type your password or click “Continue”.
2. In the “System Restore” dialog box, click “Choose a different restore point”, and then click “Next”.
3. In the list of restore points, click a restore point that was created before you began to experience the issue, and then click “Next”.
4. Click “Finish”.
The computer restarts, and the system files and settings are returned to the state that they were in at the time that the restore point was created.
Please check the result again.

Time Machine Question (want to keep old back up and start a new one)

Hello
I have a MacBook Pro that I back up using Time Machine to a Segate External Harddrive. I have several weeks worth of back ups stored using Time Machine. Then I needed to have my system wiped clean due to overheating. I just got it back and I have been working to restore my system (application by application.... folder by folder, file by file) from the most recent Time Machine.
However I didn't put it all back - I kind of picked and choose what I reinstalled.
I would like to set my MacBook Pro back up with Time Machine BUT I really really do not want to overwrite the old backups. In my ideal world I want to start a whole new set of backups. However I can't figure out how to do that.
I tried changing the name of the folders in Time Machine and that didn't work. I tried copying them, that didn't work either. It keeps telling me "The operation can’t be completed because it isn’t supported."
Is there any way to start a whole new time machine back up using the same external hard drive? This way I still have my old Time Machine Back ups should I need them (from my computer before we wiped it clean).
Thanks!
Alison

That's usually a recipe for disaster. You're likely to miss all sorts of things that way. Plus, if you have any "complex" apps (typically, the ones that come with their own installers and put other files on your system), they won't work properly, if at all, unless you also copy those files. Or reinstall them from the original discs.
Your best bet is to do a full system restore, then delete what you don't want.
I would like to set my MacBook Pro back up with Time Machine BUT I really really do not want to overwrite the old backups.
Time Machine won't necessarily do that. But it will make a new full backup of the "new" drive (since it was erased, it's treated as a different drive). If there's not enough room for it, it will start deleting old backups trying to make room for the new one.
(That doesn't happen if you do a full system restore, or use Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant to put your data back.)
You can avoid that by manually telling Time Machine to "associate" the new drive with the old backups, per #B6 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting. TM will then do an "incremental" backup, of just what's new or different from the last backup.
If you don't do that, you won't see the backups of the "old" drive normally, but you can via the procedure in #E3 of the same link.
In my ideal world I want to start a whole new set of backups. However I can't figure out how to do that.
If there's enough room on the backup disk, you don't need to.

Again, if there's room, you don't need to do that. If there isn't, you can't, short of using a different disk.
But if there's room, and you want to keep the old backups indefinitely, you might be able to create a second partition, and start backing-up to it. See #3 in Using Disk Utility.

Stop a recording and start a new one

Hi, i can record audio from mycrophone when i press a play button and stop it when i press a stop button. But when i press the play button again, it doesn't record.
Here is some code:
Play button:
private void btnRecActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        Processor captureProcessor = null;
        if (paused == false ) {
            lblSegundos.setText("segundos...");
            try {
                processor.configurarCapturaAudio();
                processor.habilitarSonido();
                processor.guardarCapturaAudio();
                capturarAudioEnMemoria();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(InformDetail.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            captureProcessor = processor.obtenerProcessor();
            AudioThread hilo = new AudioThread(lblCronometro, slidAudio, captureProcessor);
            hilo.start();
            btnStart.setEnabled(true);
            btnRewind.setEnabled(false);
            btnStop.setEnabled(true);
            btnForward.setEnabled(false);
        } else if (paused == true ) {
            try {
                processor.resumeCapture();
                audioThread.resumeThread();
                pausado = false;
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(InformDetail.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
    } Stop button:
private void btnStopActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        detenerGrabacionMemoria = true;
        insertarAudioTabla();
        audioThread = new AudioThread();
        audioThread.terminateNormaly();
        try {
            processor.terminarGrabacionAudio();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(InformDetail.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        lblCronometro.setText("terminado");
    }

Ok, my aplication records audio from a microphone. In my gui I have these buttons: stopButton,recordButton,pauseButton,forwardButton,rewindButton, to control the recording.When I press recordButton, the recording starts,at the same time the recording is being saved in a directory.In this button i call the methods:configureRecordingAudio() and saveRecordingAudio() from the classs:AudioProcessor,also calls a class:AudioThread to set a timer in a label of my gui. Then i stop a pauseButton and the recording pauses,here i call the methods: resumeCapture() from the class AudioProcessor and resumeThread() from the class AudioThread,then i press the recordButton and the recording continues. To end the recording i press stopButton,and stop the recording.
So it 's supposed that when i press the recorButton it iniciate a new recording, but doesn't do it.
Record:
private void btnRecActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        Processor captureProcessor = null;
        captureProcessor = processor.obtenerProcessor();
        if (paused == false ) {
            lblSeconds.setText("seconds...");
            try {
                processor.configureRecordingAudio();
                processor.enableMonitorSound();
                processor.saveRecordingAudio();
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(InformDetail.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
            captureProcessor = processor.getProcessor();
            AudioThread thread = new AudioThread(lblCronometro, slidAudio, captureProcessor);
           thread.start();
            btnStart.setEnabled(true);
            btnRewind.setEnabled(false);
            btnStop.setEnabled(true);
            btnForward.setEnabled(false);
        } else if (paused == true) {
            try {
                processor.resumeCapture();
                audioThread.resumeThread();
                pausado = false;
            } catch (IOException ex) {
                Logger.getLogger(InformDetail.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
StopRecord:
private void btnStopActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        audioThread = new AudioThread();
        audioThread.terminateNormaly();
        try {
