[SOLVED] Can't get rid of a wine-polluted text file icon [KDE]

Hello folks,
For some reason, my KDE system likes to use a Wine program based icon for all text files when I'm using a Faenza theme. The problem occurs only for my user (not root) so I think this is an user-specific issue.
I've already checked .local/share/icons folder for matching icon images. I found one which was named "text-plain.png", being equally the same "W-space" icon image as shown in the picture below. Thus I removed this png file from all necessary subfolders (22, 24, 32, 48...), so as far as I can think, there should not be any traces for the old icon image left. I've already re-checked all folders which I think are relevant to the issue. In addition, I've updated icon cache by using gtk-update-icon-cache and kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental commands. However, the system seems to disagree with me and the annoying icon appears still in text file icons.
The problem appears practically like in the following picture:
W-space icon image is very likely related to Adobe Photoshop which I've installed on my PlayonLinux installation (.PlayonLinux/wineprefix/photoshop). I still don't understand by which logic the system decides to use this W-space image for text files.
I wonder if I need to take further steps to get rid of this annoying icon. Am I missing something? All I want is that KDE would use basic Faenza icon for text files. Any hints are welcome!
Thank you!

Allright, this was, after all, a very simple issue. As expected.
I simply removed file /var/tmp/kdecache-fincer/icon-cache.kcache, rebooted the system and all icons are fine now.
Topic marked as solved.

Can't get rid of the # when adding text

I'm trying to edit a document in Indesign. I started by doing a Pre-Flight to correct errors and have one left I can't get rid of.
Originally the Text Error was for a font that ID could not find so I changed the font to what was already being used for other text - an included font - Charlamagne Std Regular
When trying to type text into a text box the type jumps to just above the text box where the pound sign (#) sits.
When entering type, even after positioning the curser inside the text box, it jumps the text to right before the pound sign, on top of the text box, and adds a pink box under the text.
I have attached a screen shot to show this. How to I get rid of the pound sign and pink box to be able to simply type some text in the text box (that the pink box is in)? Thanks!

@dkg62 – to make clear what's going on, select the text frame and show us another screenshot.
There are at least four cases where you can get a text like that. All cases imply, that the font you'd like to use is missing. I simulated this by formatting text with a font weight that is not available by a character style.
1. The most likely case: There is baseline shift applied; here in my case 9pt.
All other cases are academical, because the pink highlighting is aligned with the text:
2. Text frame options, baseline set to a fixed value (zero in this case)
3. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is just the standard default. You can see a second #-end of story sign inside the text frame.
4. Text on path and the text frame options (baseline) is set to fixed (zero in this case). The second #-sign inside the text frame is shifted above because of the fixed value of the baseline option of the text frame options. And obscured by the pink highlighting.

How can I get rid of the added / preset text words included in my text messages. It always says something like "Please call back at

How can I get rid of the added / preset text words included in my text messages. It always says something like "Please call back at ###-####."

JenJenTen,
I understand that having a preset text that you did not want can be a bit frustrating when sending out text. To clarify, is the preset message like a signature at the end of your text? Does this only happen in text messages or when your send emails also? Is your SMS delivery confirmation on? Messaging>Settings>SMS delivery confirmation.

How can I get rid of Euro symbol in text?

Euro symbol show up in front of Copyright symbol when I test it in Internet Explorer but doesn't when I check it in another browser.
How can I get rid of it?
Thank you.

Does it show up in the code?
If not it's probably a charset in the page encoding that's being misinterpreted by the browser, or a "web-unfriendly" font...
I try to stick to UTF-8 and avoid any font that isn't in the default list in DW.
If you have a link to the page online it would help a lot more though. Without that everything I just posted is a guess.

Can't get rid of the folder and exclamation mark icon

i got given a new ipod nano (1st generation) to replace my old ipod mini, i installed the new software but got the folder and exclamation mark icon, i removed all itunes and quicktime software just in case it had anything to do with an old version of something and reinstalled the software...still got the icon. then i installed the updater from the website but still can't get rid of the icon...any advice? please help!
ipod nano (first generation) Windows XP

Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

How can I get rid of 'underline' under hyperlinked text?

In various other apps i've been able to keep the text as hyperlinked, but get rid of the automatic underlining. Can I somehow create a style or set a preference to get iWeb to do this?
Ben

There are no style or preferences to allow what you
want in iWeb. The simplest way around this that I
found was to create a text box without any borders,
insert the text you want as a link in that box, then
select the text box (shows that it's handles
show) and in the inspector associate the box
as the hyperlink object. Note, and I stress, the
hyperlink needs to be the borderless box with the
text in it, NOT the text itself.
This seems to be a common issue with several posts in
which I have suggested this method. Maybe I should
put up a Web page addressing this issue?
Please consider marking this reply as either
"Solved" or "Helpful" with the little buttons in the
title bar of this reply. This will assist
others with a similar question in the future.
I agree with this, I have links on my sites that use this method and it works as it should.

IE 6 - I really can't get rid of the 3-pixel text jog

Hello,
I'm afrait that's a bit more of the same about the 3-pixel text jog. I'm testing a website in IE6, have spent a whole day trying to figure out how to get rid of this jog, tried various solutions found in this forum and on the web, and nothing works. I don't understand why the zoom property works for most people except me!
The website is here: http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/
I've put background colors to the main div tags to check the layout, so that's why it looks funny.
I wouldn't be that bothered with a 3-pixel extra gap between elements if it wasn't turning some page layout upside down. For these pages, the content zone (light blue background) jumps down until the side menu bottom edge (yellow background).
Examples of the problem:
http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/research.html
http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/support/training.html
http://www.cerc.co.uk/CERC/v02/about/contact/enquiries.html
(All other pages will show you how it's meant to be displayed.)
If someone has an idea, I'd really appreciate to hear about it!
Emilie
P.S.: I also attach a screenshot to show what I'm seeing. This is in IE 6 on Windows XP emulated on Mac OS X 10.5 via VMware, so perhaps this problem only occurs with this computer configuration (which would then solve the problem!).

If that may help anyone, I eventually managed to solve this problem! Here is the solution in "my" case. I thought it was only the 3-pixel text jog problem, but I needed two corrections and therefore I suspect I had two problems mixed—making it a total nightmare to debug for a newbie because the widely documented 3-pixel text jog fix didn't work.
Context : in this page structure, the elements in trouble in IE 6 are the divs #SideMenu (the side menu, orangish background colour in the attached screenshot) and #Content (the content area, blueish background colour). #SideMenu is floated left and has a width of 16 em. #Content is not floated and has a left-margin of 16 em (no width, it's supposed to take whatever is left on the page and the page is allowed to extend from 770 pixels to 970 pixels in width).
Problem: for some pages with this HTML structure (and just nothing fancy inside #Content), the entire #Content div drops down until the top of #Content matches the bottom of #SideMenu.
I needed two fixes, which I both coded to be for IE6 only using IE conditional comments.
Fix 1: A new CSS rule for #Content that (re)sets the left margin to 16.5 em. That gives more room to the divs and the entire #Content div isn't dropping down any longer. However, after setting this up, some other pages started to show some problems: part of the content of #Content would drop down (e.g. a table inside #Content).
Fix 2: applying the zoom: 1 property to #Content fixed this second problem.
I hope this makes sense and might help someone else.

Can I get rid of the white frame on Finder icon preview?

This is another one of those things that Leopard has done that makes me wonder what the heck they were thinking! (Don't even get me started on the Windoze95 sidebar!) Why the heck take a wonderful thing like the Finder icon previews in Tiger, and make them solid white squares, with a nasty white border? These are stupid, ugly, and a massive step backward in interface design. I am assuming this is all done for the sake of "cover flow?" With decent Finder Icon previews, who needs it?
But please, please, if you MUST 'fix' things for me, give me the ability to opt out! SO until Apple remembers what GOOD GUI design is, does anyone know how to get rid of the border & white background?
Thanks!

To each his or her own, but I find the frames & white backgrounds, if not particularly attractive, fairly useful for a quick visual reference of the images' proportions (like tall & skinny vs. nearly square). This is pretty hard to see if transparency is enabled & large parts of the image are transparent.
When I do want to see the transparency, I find Cover Flow (& Quickview) very useful, although Cover Flow doesn't always seem to show alpha channels while QuickView always does. Plus, both versions of the technology allow much larger previews than in conventional icon Finder windows & support scroll wheels, making it easy to review large numbers of image files quickly at high resolution literally at the flick of a finger.
FWIW, at first I thought this was just a gimmick with little practical value. Now that I have started using it, particularly in conjunction with smart searches, I think it is a great addition to the OS, one that is so intuitive & efficient that it makes the old icon view look like an antiquated relic from a time when computers were not powerful enough to manage more than tiny thumbnails.
I'm not trying to convince you about this as you seem adamant about not liking it, but I do think it is the logic progression for browsing through ever larger numbers of ever higher resolution images, & is only going to get better at this as it becomes more refined. Perhaps someday a future version will meet your needs.

Professional 8 - Can't Get Rid of Tab Number In Text Field

Hello,
I hope someone can help me with this issue - when I create a text field on a PDF document and type text in the field, a "1" appears in the upper left hand corner (it's enclosed in a little black bordered box). If it was only in the PDF file itself I could deal with it, but unfortunately it shows when I print the document too. I've got some advice that it's the Tab function in Professional 8, but when I look for a way of turning it off or at least preventing it from showing up in the print, I can't find anything that works. Adobe support has been no help, there still "looking into it". I was hoping that perhaps someone has had a similar situation and could shed some light?.....
Thanks!,

Hello Bernd,
I've attached an example of what's happening though I don't know if you'll be able to view the "1" in the upper left hand corner of the Text Field unless you have similar settings in Professional 8 (just a guessbecause Tech Support at Adobe couldn't see it so I sent a screen shot as well), so I've also attached a screen shot of the bottom of the document where the Text Field is showing the "1" in the corner.
Things I've tried from suggestions made:
1) You have a tab order in your form turned ON. This is a standard feature of Adobe Acrobat. This is the only way Acrobat will display little numbers in the left-hand corner of the text field. However, tab order should not be visible during printing or entering data. These numbers are only displayed while editing form fields using "Form > Edit Fields in Acrobat...." - (Which I didn't use to create the Text Field, I used "Tools", "Forms", "Text Field Tool")
2) "Print" dialog. Select "Document" under "Comments and Forms" pull-down menu to avoid printing any markup or comments.
I suspect that tab order might get printed for some reason you select anything else besides "Document". - (I've tried everything is this menu)
3) 1. Open your PDF form.

Can't get rid of beachball after creating text layers

Created 7 simple text layers. All was fine till I added simple cross dissolve transition to all layers at once. Now constant beachball. And can't even open any projects after force quitting. In fact as soon as I got to project library and move my mouse I get the beachball.
Any ideas?

Try deleting the project render files. Quit FCP X, then lin the Finder locate the folder for your project inside the "Final Cut Projects" folder, then trash the "Render Files" folder inside it. See if that helps.

How can I get rid of this security warning for files on CD? Usual answers not working.

Hi all,
I have Acrobat X Pro patched to 10.1.8 on Windows 7. I am trying to create and use a CD with a set of hyperlinked PDFs on it.
Whenever I click a link in any of the PDFs, the attached security dialog comes up. The box being ticked doesn't matter, Acrobat doesn't add anything to its list of websites in Trust Manager. I have added D:\ to the list of privileged locations in the enhanced security preferences. In fact, I have tried turning off enhanced security altogether, and even that didn't work. I have also tried both "Allow access to all websites / Default behavior: Allow Access" (which irritatingly reverted to "Allow access / Always ask" BTW) and "Custom / Default behavior: Always Ask" in the Manage Internet Access preferences under Trust Manager. Trust Manager won't let you add local paths.
I can change the PDF files too if it's something to do with the type of hyperlink between them. They're relative links to other files in the same directory created using Word and then converted to PDF with Acrobat PDFMaker.
Thanks
Drew

It's possible that the file that any path points to may be changed, but it appears Acrobat happily accepts those other paths.
If that is really intended behavior as built, is there a way to fool Acrobat that a given disc isn't removable media?

I made the mistake of installing Freerecorder, now I can't get rid of it. After uninstalling the icon is still there, it's ads still appear. How do I nuke??

I previously installed Ad block plus BTW.
For instance when I log into Yahoo e-mail the first couple of lines are an empty box (thank you, Ad block!) but still has a "ads by Freerecorder" line. Until I figured out how to turn off the "feature" Freerecorder would open a new window almost every time I clicked on a link so both the desired link and an ad would open in separate windows. I uninstalled not only Freerecorder but Firefox a well and re-installed Firefox but *not* Freerecorder but it still happens as if Freerecorder has a cookoo in the Firefox folder. The Freerecorder icon also appears in the upper right, next to the "home" button, if clicked it goes to a page trying to sell me, you guessed it, Freerecorder.
Let me know if it would help to somehow post screen captures.

Can't get rid of vertical line in Pages '08

I add a text box to a blank page and paste in or type in some text.
There's a verticle line running the height of the paragraph (or single line) that I can't get rid of.
Also, the text appears blue even though it's supposed to be black. When I select the text and check the color it says it's black.

Neal Fox wrote:
OK. Opened a new document and copies with match style. The text comes out right.
Then I figured I could copy that and paste and match style into the original document. Nope!
Once it's in the original it comes out blue and with the line.
If it helps, the original is nothing but jpegs on every page. It's a child's picture book. I'm trying to put the front pages in, which are only text. I didn't copy from the internet, but typed into a text box. No pasting from another document either.
Thanks.
Neal,
When you did the Copy and Paste and Match Style back into the "Original Document", that reverted the style. What you should have done when returning was a straight Paste.

Can't get rid of the beeping noise!(SOLVED)

Hey guys, so I can't get rid of the beeping noise of my laptop.
I have an Acer Aspire 722. Every time I plug or unplug the power, it beeps. And the really annoying one, everytime I backspace, it beeps.
I've tried going into alsa and muting beep. I put !pcspkr in modules in rc.conf.
I don't know what else to do?
Help will be extremely appreciated. Thanks.
edit: unrelated but something I want to resolve. I get these debugging messages, and found to get rid of them I have to set loglevel= 3 in grub. How do I do that? (SOLVED)
Also, I'm having an issue with x-org. Every time I try to download it, it says it is missing a file. So I figured maybe it is a mirror problem so I went to change my mirror. Pacman keeps trying to use my old mirror even when my mirrorlist does not have that mirror commented out. I also checked pacman.conf and no mirror is being loaded in there with a server=mirror syntax.
Not sure what is happening?

Please read the man page :-)
-y, --refresh
Download a fresh copy of the master package list from the
server(s) defined in pacman.conf(5). This should typically be used
each time you use --sysupgrade or -u. Passing two --refresh or -y

Nah, you do need a browser, sorry ;P
You should have some simple text-based (links and elinks) on the CD you used for installation, but they may be a bit intimidating to use if you're new.
