[SOLVED] Can't get grub2 hidden menu

Since the upgrade to grub2 1.99~rc1, I'm not able to get hidden menu anymore. Here's my /etc/default/grub:
GRUB_DEFAULT=0
#GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="Arch Linux"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="elevator=noop acpi_osi=Linux fastboot logo.nologo ipv6.disable=1"
# Uncomment to enable Hidden Menu, and optionally hide the timeout count
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=3
GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true
# Uncomment to disable graphical terminal
#GRUB_TERMINAL=console
# The resolution used on graphical terminal
# note that you can use only modes which your graphic card supports via VBE
# you can see them in real GRUB with the command `vbeinfo'
#GRUB_GFXMODE=1024x768x32
# Uncomment to allow the kernel use the same resolution used by grub
#GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=keep
# Uncomment if you want GRUB to pass to the Linux kernel the old parameter
# format "root=/dev/xxx" instead of "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx"
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
# Uncomment to disable generation of recovery mode menu entries
#GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_RECOVERY="true"
I updated grub following archwiki directions and regenerated grub.cfg with grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg, but still no luck, grub menu comes out at every boot...
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

What about if you uncomment
#GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
and set the value to match the hidden timeout?
rebuild the config and try again, hope it helps

How can I get a hidden back

How can i get a hidden app back on my home screen of my iPhone
It was purchased and then deleted by accident

"Hidden" and "Deleted" are two different things. If you hid it, unhide it. If you deleted it on your phone, resych it from iTunes or download it again, for free.

Can't get my dropdown menu buttons to link to another scene.

I can’t get my dropdown menu buttons to link to other scenes within the same Flash file. The buttons are unresponsive during playback – as if no code were attached to it. Here’s what I have as my AS2 code on the dropped button that is supposed to link to the "Published" scene/page:
on(release){
_root.gotoAndPlay("published", 1);
I'm working with Actionscript 2.0 in Flash CS6.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,

Hi kglab,
I do get these compile errors:
Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 1 Statement must appear within on handler
Scene=published, layer=Buttons, frame=1, Line 2 Statement must appear within on handler
But, I think you are correct about the setInterval Loop. On the home scene I’ve created a movie symbol which is set to call another swf file:
loadMovie("frontSlideshow.swf", _root.movie1);
This frontSlideshow.swf file has the following code in every 10 frames:
this.stop();
pause = function ()
play();
clearInterval(pausei);
pausei = setInterval(pause, 5000);
This will pause the timeframe every 5 seconds before sliding to the next frame so that each image can be viewed. It seems odd that the code from this subclass file would affect the timeframe of the main class/file where the “movie1” symbol is located.
Best,
Rob

That's weird that these iphones are restored/activated through iTunes. I have a Apple so I have iTunes, yay!! I am guessing that the link that you gave me will tell how to put this iphone into Recovery mode? Now, this old iphone would of been activated on his laptop, which is with him and he is out of state. I have a new Apple, his new iphone would of been activated on our new Apple computer because he was here for Christmas and he didn't bring his laptop with him, or did he bring it with him, I don't remember now.... Now the question is, will I be able to restore his old iphone on my new computer seeing it would of activated on his laptop which is with him out of state. I am so worried that I am going to lock up this phone now. I thought I deleted the orginal guestion, and rewrote it, good grief, lol Oh wow, you are a level 10, I would be at a level -10!

Well, then you most likely ditched it because you made a mistake.
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cf is supposed to write a completely new grub.cfg based on the scripts and /etc/default/grub file. So of course anything you had edited in the grub.cfg directly got lost when you did that. It din't screw it up, it replaced the file like it should.
If the result didn't work, then something was probably wrong somewhere else in your config files.
I know how to use Grub I've been using Grub for as long as it's been around and I've also used Grub2 just fine on other distros without a problem.
I didn't screw anything up and I left the config file alone also and edited it in the /etc/grub path I believe it is, like you are suppose to...
The simple truth is there was a problem with UUID, so I tried to disable that also in the config;
GRUB_DISABLE_LINUX_UUID=true
But this didn't work and it just had a bug I didn't feel like dealing with so I dumped it, anyhow like I said I'm using legacy just fine...
Don't assume next time that something is wrong, people are screwing things up...
P.S. Let the post rest it's over and I'm using Legacy so no need to revive it...

How can I get a horizontal menu widget to display at 100% width?

I have created a horizontal menu with uniform spacing and have stretched it out to each side. I can't get the red indicator line to show up on the left side, but it does show on the right. No matter what I do, the menu continues to show up short on the right side of my screen in preview mode.
Does anyone know how to do this properly? Has anyone else had issues with it?
Thanks!

Hi,
We are aware of this limitation with the Menu and Panel Widgets and hope to address the same in future.
Thanks,

I assume you're running nm-applet --sm-disable once you get a window manager session up?
Try starting networkmanager after hal. From the wiki:
You must also "disable" the default network daemon, and add the hal, dhcdbd and networkmanager daemons in this order:
DAEMONS=( ... !network hal dhcdbd networkmanager ... )

DMA 2100, can't get to settings menu

Having trouble getting a DMA 2100 setup.
After it boots, I get to the welcome screen and I can usually get one or two remote presses before it freezes up.
So typically I can press the down arrow to get to the settings menu, and then I press OK to enter the setting menu and it freezes (no response from any keypresses on remote). Sometime I can get to the settings menu but can't do anything once I'm there.
I have tried the factory reset several times to no avail.
This happens both when I am plugged into the network and also when I am not.
Any ideas on what can be causing this or what else I can try?

I'm also having this problem. I navigate in the settings of the DMA2100 and it just locks up! No idea why. Remote stops working but the remote works for the mapped TV volume settings. I can tell the DMA2100 locks up because the cursor stops flashing in the network settings config.
Any help appreciated! No idea why this has started.

[SOLVED] Can't get CUPS to add / detect HP Laserjet 1100 printer

I moved my computer downstairs... after a few weeks I decided to move my printer down and set it up. I had it working perfectly a few weeks ago before the move... however now I can't get CUPS to detect or add my printer. At first when I moved my printer downstairs the CUPS web interface had my previous setup still there and had my printer detected / added. However, printing jobs would just stay in the queue and never print. I did some googling and someone mention to remove the printer and re-add it. Well I tried to to that and got stuck on trying to re-add it. CUPS will not identify my printer now. Funny thing is I just now remember I had a similiar issue a few months back and I remembered now I fixed the queue issue just by unplugging the power to my printer and leaving it off for 5min then replugging it in. I have tried all the steps on the wiki and I can't seem to figure this one out. dmesg does output that it is detecting my printer. I have my printer hooked up via a mini parralel to USB cord. If you have any other questions for me please shoot
Unplugging and repluggin my printer gives me this msg in dmesg:
usblp0: removed
usb 6-2: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 4
usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 4 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x4348 pid 0x5584
hp-toolbox also does not detect any printers. I have tried restarting cupsd... Any help is appreciated... I need to get printing up ASAP since school has started.
lsusb output this amongst other things:
Bus 006 Device 004: ID 4348:5584 WinChipHead CH34x printer adapter cable
If it matters I am using XFCE as my DE... I also do not remember using the CUPS interface to intially add the printer... I do not exactly remember how I did it... but the web interface looked completely new to me and I am rather sure that is not how I initially went about doing it... perhaps I used some GUI frontend for it...
EDIT: After reading the forum descriptions closer... perhaps this should be moved to the Workstation section.

Tell you the truth... I have no idea how to change it or what not... I didn't even add that manually... just rebooted my computer one day and it appeared there.
hpsetup does not detect my printer
system-config-printer gives me an error when I try and add a printer. I manually specify the location to file:/dev/usb/lp0 ... I scroll down find HP LaserJet 1100 and the recommended driver is hpjis 3.9.8. I select that and I get the following:
There was an error during the CUPS operation: 'client-error-not-possible'
EDIT: I am about ready to chunk to this printer out the window... I have been messing with this for about a week now and I just keep getting two steps forward and then three steps backwards.
The system-config-printer dialog looked familiar and I believe that when I intially was able to set up my printer and had it working upstairs I used that dialog to add my printer.
Some googling brought me to this ubuntu bug report
Your USB-to-parallel adapter does not pass through the printer ID. The device is recognized as printer, but there is no information about manufacturer and model. Therefore system-config-printer and hal-cups-utils automatically assign the text-only printer to the unknown device.
In general you have to run system-config-printer and manually choose manufacturer and model.
That you cannot print at all is a bug of the "hal" CUPS backend. See
https://fedorahosted.org/hal-cups-utils/ticket/5
Try to do the following:
cupsctl FileDevice=yes
lpadmin -p <your print queue name> -E -v file:/dev/usb/lp0
This is an ugly workaround which works if you have only one printer (the one with the adapter cable) on USB. Does it work for you?
Now the problem is that I can not add my printer via the system-config-printer. However, if I go the CUPS web interface and hit manage printers the driver is listed as the following:
Driver: Local Raw Printer (grayscale)
Now I think that is my issue... I need to have it set to the correct driver... if I hit modify printer and select my Make/Model I get the following access error:
401 Unauthorized
Enter your username and password or the root username and password to access this page. If you are using Kerberos authentication, make sure you have a valid Kerberos ticket.
However there is no prompt or I do not know where to enter this information to.

SOLVED: Can't get CM 1015 printer to scan: where is the "HP Solution Center" ?

Hi,
I have a HP cm1015 printer.
Recently win8.1 was installed, and I had to reinstall the printer.
I downloaded drivers from the hp site, but I can't get the printer to scan.
It prints, and copies ok, but scanning doesn't work.
What is unclear:
If I go to the download driver page, I can download 4 different kind of drivers.
I can choose between :
Driver - Universal print Driver
- for windows PCL6
- For Windows Postscript
- for windows PLC5
Software - Universal Print driver
- HP Printer administrator resource kit.
I chose
- for windows PCL6
The "HP Printer administrator resource kit.": are all different files. Don't know what to do with it.
To scan I should be able to get into the "HP solution Center", according to the manual.
However, after downloading and installing the "windows PCL6" driver, I don't see that center on my PC.
So how do I get the HP solution center ?
Thx!
Solution: http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c03506225

Problem 1: HP Solution Cntr could not detect any devices and closed down
Solution??? I downloaded, uninstalled and re-installed the driver successfully.....but could not "add the device" in the last step even if I followed the instructions carefully: a) make sure device is powered on
b) connect USB cable
Per Control Panel, printer is "ready" but does not print.
Problem 2: My HP Solution Center disappeared. How do I re-establish connection?

[SOLVED] Can't get curl to work, among everything else

No matter what form I put curl in, I can't see to get it to work. The various manuals I've read through <man> and online have all shown me different examples, but none work.
I've tried <command> | curl -F 'sprunge=<-'http://sprunge.us' and it does... nothing.
I've tried substituting ix urls and pastebin urls but it does nothing.
I feel like a complete moron because everyone expects me to instantly understand what all this gibberish means, and no one else seems to have a problem uploading command text online.
I've had trouble every step of the way installing arch, and its taken me four hours to slug through each problem. Right now I can't start fluxbox for some reason, but I can't get the errors here except for what I write down.
Heres the error for that
Xmodmap: unable to open display ''
Error: Couldn't connect to XServer
I've tried redirecting xmodmap to the keys but it did nothing. I've tried figuring out this xserver thing but my retardation has apparently gotten in the way.
Is this normal? Does everyone feel like an 90 year old when they first jump into arch linux?
