Software package list for best experience of Arch with Gnome DE.

I have been a long time Ubuntu user but due to power regression issues have to stop using it on new laptop (Thinkpad T420). Arch linux is the obvious choice to try and i did try it this weekend. I like the base and i think i might stay with it. I seems to have far better battery life without any tweaking - low temperature, no fan no TLP no kernel issues so far. I am having problem setting up Arch linux because of its stripped down nature. I guess i will have to read a lot to make it work me.
My question is i might not be having best experience of Arch with gnome. Is their a list or meta package like ubuntu-desktop which will install all/most of the commonly used programs and settings and from their i can customize it? Or is tweaking done in bits and pieces in Arch?
Thanks.

There is no meta-package like ubuntu-desktop in Arch. You have to build your system the way you find it most comfortable.
See Archwiki for more information. Here are some articles you will like to read:

Software and Drivers for an HP Scanjet 5590 with a 64 bit Windows 7 computer.

I thought that I had posted the following question but as I can't find it I will try again. I have been given a HP Scanjet 5590 scanner with no Software or Drivers for 64 bit Windows 7 computer and looking through the Web I saw some awful comments on the experiences of those using the software and drivers. I don’t want to make the same mistake so could anyone tell me how to go about obtain the correct software and drivers?

Corporal,
Here is the link for the software...
If you have the "p" model, backtrack a the link and reselect the proper model.
You want the "Full Feature" software.
Note that the download size is 315MB - plan accordingly if you have a slow connection...
While you are there, be sure to download the Print Doctor utiltity. (Do that first, it is tiny.) This may help later with installation and connection issues, if needed.)

[solved] Arch with GNOME 2?

Hi everyone,
I'm a new Arch user, have been using Ubuntu for about two years now and decided this morning to give Arch a try; the install wasn't too bad, the only ultimate problem was GNOME 3... I'm hoping somebody here can tell me if there's a way to install Arch from scratch with GNOME 2 and Compiz instead of GNOME 3? I ended up removing G3 and I'm now using KDE, which is also not what I want, but certainly a million times better than G3.
I had a quick look around, and it's clear that I'm not the only one who hates G3, the old threads on this forum regarding a downgrade are pointing to a lot of empty links, hence my new thread on the matter.
I understand that it's faster to use G3 and so-on, but really it looks like it was built for people who haven't got a clue how to use a PC, and if I wanted that sort of "simplicity" then I would have brought a Mac. I absolutely DESPISE GNOME 3 and I'm really sorry if that has offended anyone.
All I want is the simple, minimal interface that I had with G2, with the cute little foot in the top left corner, my customised menus and the basic window effects; that's it. I don't want Duplo-sized icons, I don't want fancy effects and I don't want the 0.0001 seconds of speed difference or extra security and reliability, because I'd rather my PC burst into flames from some G2 bug than I ever use G3 to do my computing.

That's hilarious! lol.
G3 is actually pretty good. If you don't like gnome-shell - then simply don't use it. Compiz works really well in G3 ( i am using the latest version 0.9.5, compiled yesterday from source). you can customize gnome3 menus, much in the same way as Gnome2. However, the menus are fairly slow, when i compare them to my gtk2-menu - which had zero-delay in opening. I've actually removed gnome-panel and replaced it with other tools, as i found gnome-panel to be a bit lame in G3.....you may not mind it though.
anyways, I wouldn't be too worried about running G3 - a lot of people are in a scramble because they aren't interested in the shell. but the shell isn't a requirement. I think the developers would just prefer that everybody uses GS. while there was talk of not having it supported in the future, i doubt that will happen ~ as we all know Canonical will be porting Unity to run on top of the gnome 3 stack. (right now it uses gnome2). So i tend to think we should be able to run fallback, for a long time
it just might take some extra-tweaking, to get it the way you want your desktop to be. I'm now actually liking it better than gnome2, myself. but it did take a bit of adjustment, but "under the hood" - gnome 3 has some nice features and improvements ove G2...
theming isn't too difficult either - so if you don't like fat menus/giant icons... then, you can use a theme that doesn't have that - or edit your theme instead. (i sort of did both). I'm actually working on a nice dark theme, that has gtk2 style window-decorations (narrow/thin), slim menus and some other goodies. Gtk3 - looks really great too!

Arch 0.7 iso package list ?

greetings
where can I find a package list for the full Arch 0.7 release ?
In case some has installed (the 600 mg) iso Arch 0.7 , does it contain kde , mplayer, firefox, ?
thnx

the "arch" way of installation is to install only base packages, then to install "current" packages to the system from the repositories.
The .7 release is just a snapshot of the repository packages, bundled with an installer and a little magic pixie dust.
That said, I have no idea what packages are included on the cd. Hopefully someone with such knowledge can answer you.

Error installing N-Trig MultiTouch software for HP TouchSmart tx2 1270us with OS Windows 7

Hello. I would like to ask somebody to help me installing the Multitouch technology on my TouchSmart tx2 1270us Notebook PC. The original system came with OS Windows Vista. I bought an Upgrade for Vista from Microsoft and installed Windows 7. The problem is, that I can not use my Notebook as a Tablet( normally its working), because during the instalation of the file, downloaded from drivers&support page, comes an FATAL ERROR DURING INSTALATION, which says, that N-Trig HARDWARE was not found on my OS. The Multitouch technology does not work with WINDOWS VISTA. All I did before, was Windows reinstalation due to extremely slowed down system running, caused by too many installed programs and aplications. Exactly that reinstalation caused the whole problem. Now Im very sad about that and can not write on the display with a finger. Can anyone please help ME? If you want I can pay something. PLEASE HELP... Thanks.

Hello DimtrijShal:
         Sorry to hear about Windows 7 failer. Are you able to do a full recovery using your orginal recovery disk? If so please back up all the files you have before doing it. Write down the Windows 7 product code also. We will need it ounce you have vista windows reinstalled. You can find it in the package it came in or in the control panel displaying computers information. This number is also none as product key.
     Now that your computer has been restored to original factory condition. You are now able to update Vista Windows to Windows 7 but this time you are going to use Windows Up Advisory open it up should be listed. This time just type in Windows 7 Product Code number and let it do its thing.
       You can also goto your computers update web-page and see what's all involved in Up grading to Windows 7 they may have HP's Touchsmart software upgrades listed for downloads. Most Touchsmart software is listed. I have not yet seen any that did not display them. Yes you are in the correct section for your post. Some one need to realise HP Touchsmart tx2 are Touch computers also. So do not move your post from here. Let us know if you are still having troubles with your upgrade. Thank you frrw

Opening a .pdf in a Portfolio causes pop up "For best experienc use Acrobat 9 or Reader 9 or later."

I created a portfolio. In it is a converted Word doc .pdf with links to two other .pdf's that are inside the same portfolio. The other two .pdf's open normally when clicked on. The one with the links gives me a pop up message when the icon is clicked that is supposed to open one of the other .pdf's.
"For best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." It shows as a cover sheet in the upper left hand corner. What is causing this and how do I turn that off so it opens the linked .pdf's normally?

Well, that's not my intention anyway unless I inadvertantly did something else by accident. My goal is:
Take a .docx with two pdf's embedded and convert it to a .pdf
Create a portfolio with the first .pdf in it and two other .pdf's in it as well.
Link the two icons in the first pdf to the the two other pdf's in the portfolio
This is so the user can open the first one and then only click on the icon to open the other pdf it's linked to. This is for part number control purposes so it must be this way. One part number = one pdf, the other part number = the other pdf.
I would be willing to email my original files to someone and have them try putting them together. It's not really confidential information, just not something I would want out on the web either though. I appreciate your patience with me on this. I've done it in the past but I have a new PC with W7 and fresh install of Acrobat 9 so I can't figure out what is different or why it's behaving this way. Also, now I can't reply to this thread with IE10 and had to switch over to Chrome to add this.

Best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver

Hi All,
I'm totally new to SAP Netweaver but I have a task to integrate our system with SAP ECC (R/3). We are using SAP Netweaver 6.4. The goal of integration is to provide for user list of available modules (Sales and Distribution, Human Resource, Payroll, etc) and when user selected for example Payroll we need to display list of available BAPIs. In general weare able to create Enterprise Web Service for some BAPI and consume it. But the problem is that everytime when administrator changed BAPI process (for example added new field to Business Object) we need to regenerate wsdl and change our client application. Does Netweaver provide some Web Service which can retrieve list of applications, list of BAPI processes and can retrieve meta data of some BAPI? Something like Partner Web Service interface?
We are looking for best practices of integration with SAP Netweaver. We are trying to develop something like adapter which will be able to pull data into SAP ECC system is there any generic way to develop this adapter?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Yura.

Hi Yura !!
As far as I know, this is not possible yet. Using SAP Netweaver XI/PI, although it adds value to the webservice scenario exposing BAPI functionality, it also needs to maintain a refreshed version of the BAPI definition in its repository. Depeding the complexity of the change in the BAPI structure, maybe PI may allow you to continue working without changes.
Maybe a good practice is not to make too much changes to a production BAPI, instead make a review in development environment, and once it is stable, use it in production. Other good practice is to keep older versions of BAPIs and add the changed ones as new versions to have back-compatibility

Matias.

Best Software Package For A Fifth Grade Slideshow

I’ve been tasked with making a slideshow for the graduating fifth graders at my children’s school. I’m looking at around 360 slides for a thirty-minute show that will also include music. The slides will go back to the kids in Kindergarten and take them through all six years.
Could someone recommend the best software package for what I want to do? My budget is no more than $300.
Thank you

Halfnut:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Give PhotoPresenter a look. You can run it demo mode and see if it will fit your need. It has some of the best themes and transitions I've run across. It's easy to put together a slideshow and integrates with iPhoto and Aperture very well. However, it doesn't add music. But you could import it's movie file in iMovie and add the audio tracks there.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Unable to open or view: "For the best experience..." problem

My system is Mac OS X (Browsers: Safari, Chrome, Firefox).
I have been trying to browse Adobe's Interactive PDF Showcase for examples of professional output. Instead of the PDF opening up for viewing, I get, "For the best experience, open this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9, or later." or the same error with "...Acrobat X or Adobe Reader X, or later." But my current reader version is Adobe Reader XI (11.0.09), which certainly qualifies as "later". What's going on?
Thanks for any help.

Have you tried accessing planning directly via 8300 port:
http://<serverName>:8300/HyperionPlanning ? and see if the application is listed thr.
Are you using admin Id to log in? if not then try using that one. If you dont have the access to that application you wont be able to see it via workspace.

Where can i find Client software package for BOE XI 3.1

Hi
We have BOE Xi 3.1 on a server . I am looking for the client software package for BOE XI 3.1 so that it could be installed on my laptop. I looked in Service. sap.com/SWDC /Business objects portfolio and could not find the same. All i am finding in there is SBOP INTGR for SAP and i am assuming that this is the software for SAP integration kit.
Could you please point me to exact location within SWDC where i can find the Client software package for BOEXI 3.1.
Thanks & Regards
HGS

Did you download the BOEXI3.1 Server Client Tools when you installed the application? If you have, you can simply run the same install package, and select "client" tools during the installation.
If you don't have the install package, you can download it from the SAP web site. You must have a login account in order to do so. The following are the steps...
-- Go to: http://service.sap.com
-- Click on SAP Support Portal
-- Enter your S-number and password
-- You will be redirected to the SAP Support Portal (NEVER ever bookmark this URL because it changes all the time, you should bookmark the first URL I gave you)
-- Click on "Downloads" tab from the top menu bar
-- Click on "BusinessObjects Downloads" from the secondary menu bar
-- In the "Installations and Upgrades" section on the main pane, click on "click here"
-- Click on "SBOP ENTERPRISE" from the list
-- Click on "BOBJ ENTERPRISE XI 3.1" from the list
-- Click on "Installation" from the list
-- Click on "WINDOWS" (or other OS) from the list
-- Select "BOE XI 3.1 (SERVER/CLIENT TOOLS) WIN 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3"
Hope this helps.

Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services?

Hi all;
I was talking with a Sql Server expert today and learned that Azure Sql Server can take up to a minute to respond to a query that normally takes a fraction of a second. This is one of those things where it's really valuable to learn it when architecting as
opposed to when we go live.
Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
We will be placing the cloud services in multiple datacenters and using traffic manager to point people to the right one. The cloud service will set between an IMAP client & server, pretending to be the mail client to the server, and the server to the client.
Mostly it will pass all requests & responses across from one to the other.

hi dave,
>>Cloud Services are not Sql Server (obviously) but that led to the question - Is there a list of best practices for Azure Cloud Services? If so, what are they?
For this issue, I have collected some blogs and document about best practices for azure cloud service, you can view them, but I am not sure they are your need.

For your scenarioes, If you'd like to communicate with each instances, I recommend you refer to this document (
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh180158.aspx ). And generally, if we want connect the client to server on Azure, the service bus is a good choice (http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-multi-tier-app-using-service-bus-queues/
