[SOLVED] Emacs with GTK2

The latest GNU Emacs seems to use GTK3 instead of GTK2.
Is there any way to get in to use GTK2, so thing look normal
when running in graphical mode? Preferably without changing
the code.

Sorry, it doesn't work... i still get gtk3. The change was made by the maintainer with the compile-time option "--with-x-toolkit=gtk3" (See this commit).
I'm afraid we are left alone from now on. Wasting 10 minutes of our life to recompile emacs at every time until the end of the world :-(

Building Emacs with Xft on Arch64

When I try do build Emacs with Xft (I tried both the source and AUR) I get the following error:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib64/crt1.o', needed by `temacs'. Stop.
On my machine crt1.o is in /usr/lib not in /usr/lib64.
Probably there is an easy way to solve this.
Thanks for any help,
Markus.

try adding --libdir=/usr/lib to the configure options.

[SOLVED] Problem with "su" and "login".

Hi, I reinstalled Arch Linux today when I updated "filesystem" and reboot appeared an error with root device, but I solved with installation CD.
I restarted laptop after solving error with root device when I went to XFCE4 and open a terminal I tried to login as root with "su" and "su -" but showed this error:
bash: su: command not found
So I rebooted to start in text mode.
When loaded SLIM I press ctrl+alt+F1 to enter text mode.
I type root to login but did'nt appear to enter the pass, appeared again to enter login. I tried type my user but did the same.
Someone can help me?
Thanks!

Thank you falconindy. I upgrade with --force because I search in Google the problem show "filesystem" when I tried install and I read that solution is upgrade "filesystem" with --foce.
I tried to reinstall util-linux and now works. Thank you!

How do I do to conect an Emac with a Mac Book Pro Mid 2009

I want to conect my Emac with my Mac Book Pro Mid 2009 in order to share and move files. I bought a firewire cable 9 pins to 6 pins and conected both computers but I am unable to see the hard drives and move files.

You eMac will need to be booted into Target Disk Mode.
Restart the eMac and hold the T key. It will then show up on your MBPs Desktop.

(URGENT) eMac with leopard running FCE 2?

I have an apple eMac running 10.5.8 and i got a great deal on FCE 2.0 i was wondering if this would work on the machine?

Yes, FCE 2 should run fine on an eMac with 10.5.8
If it were me, I'd prefer FCE 3 or 3.5 on your machine but if your deal is for FCE 2, you'll be fine.

Running eMac with Broken CRT... Dangerous? Disconnect-able?

I have on hand a 1.25ghz emac. The logic board and all hardware work. The CRT was damaged in shipping. At start up, there is a "squeel" and a little bit of a spark in the back. I've been using it "in proxy" with Leopard's "Share Screen" mode. Pretty slick! But what risk am I posing by using an eMac with the Broken CRT?
If no "hazardous" elements are involved, can the power to the display be disconnected from the down converter or something? Leaving the power to go to the Mobo? It would be nice to not have the CRT being powered up....
Thanks in advance.
Dave

If it is making a noise and sparking, that ought to be corrected to be safe.

The article seems partly experimental rather than proven, but you may get some useful understanding of what is involved.
If you succeed, post back and tell us the outcome. I am not one to throw away things if only one component has gone, so I applaud your resourcefulness. Just don't get zapped! Good luck.

A few reasons I can think of, but instead of shooting in the dark, lets check with experts who can look at your account.

Compile With GTK2 vs GTK3

A number of programs I use are now using GTK3 (shotwell & remmina for example) and they look like crap on my system. I know I can install a GTK3 theme to improve the look but I would prefer to use my current GTK2 theme if that is an option. There is a package for gnome-mplayer-gtk2 in AUR which I use for this program even though it uses GTK3 in the package in the community repo. Is it possible to compile other packages to use GTK2 instead of GTK3 similar to how gnome-mplayer is provided in AUR vs the community repo?

I am sure at least some apps can compiled to use gtk2 instead of gtk3 The new transmission is gtk3 but I managed to compile on Ubuntu 10.04 with the flag --with-gtk=2. The easiest thing is to stick with a gtk2/gtk3 theme. Radiance, Ambiance and Sonar all get updated versions to work with each new iteration of gtk3 and stay compatible with gtk2. Adwaita Cupertino is not a "distro-specific" theme but it was just recently updated to work gtk 3.4. One of the downsides of a rolling release distro is that the widgets toolkits are frequently updated. It's not the fault of Arch though but rather the gtk devs who're not providing backwards compatibility.

Help Migrating from eMac with 10.4 to Mac Mini with 10.5.8

Hi All,
I'm stumped. My friend has an old eMac with 10.4 on it, and when I upgraded my machine from a Mac Mini, I decided to donate it to her. I thought I'd be able to use Migration Assistant, but it apparently needs at least 10.5 on both machines. I tried to upgrade her eMac to 10.5, but it's so old and clunky, it just freezes when you try (it's only got 256MB of RAM).
Any ideas? Since there's no time machine on 10.4, that's not an option - but she does have an external hard-drive that I could use.
Thanks all -

Erase and install the Mac Mini and then when prompted at restart tell it to import the data from the eMac - it should just work. It is always better to erase and install if you get a second hand machine anyway both for security purposes (for the old user) and also to ensure that none of the stuff left behind by the previous user will interfere with your usage of your new Mac

Solve equation with one unknown parameter (x)

I am working on a Windows Phone program that calculates taxes due. One of the calculations is a formula/equation with an unknown 'x'. I have searched a lot on solving equations with vb but this really exceeds my - admittedly small - math knob. Perhaps you
can help me out.
The equation to solve is (for example):
((25000 + x) * 0.06) + x = 16500
The only unknown variable is x. Does someone know the proper code to solve this equation?

Are you looking to code some super-intelligent maths equation solver that can solve any type of equation (if so - good luck!)? Or are the equations you want to solve all of the same type?
The example you gave is of the form (A + x) * B + x = C. You can rearrange that to (1 + B) * x + A * B = C and from there to x = (C - A * B) / (1 + B).
If all your equations are in that form, you just need to identify the value of A, B and C and use the last formula I gave to calculate x.
I wasn't going to do that for him.
Let's see here, he's building a program for tax calculation and he can't do 8th grade algebra??
Still lost in code, just at a little higher level.

How to perform a "clean install" of Flash Player in Mac OS X

@MFC_0809,
Thanks for posting the screenshot, which confirms which installer (there are several) is being problematic.
Please try the offline installer posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems' section.
Haravikk the Horse,
Do you license Flash Player? That is not a public download URL for Flash Player, so curious as to where you obtained that URL from.

Installing emacs with xorg

Hello,
I just installed arch last night and managed to get my network up and running in less than 20 minutes! So far, I am loving it! The problem I have is: how do I go about installing emacs with x.org server? When I try installing emacs it requires xaw3d which by itself asks for xfree86 which apparently conflicts with xorg.
In general, how to install packages and 'ignore' certain dependancies? I realize the popular opinion is that it's bad, but, for example, I know I don't need xorg to run just plain console emacs.
I'm coming from the world of Slackware and I'm sort of used to no-dependancy-checking so...
A very nice forum BTW,

follow this wiki

good luck

Digital Camcorder & router/Airport USB 2.0 to connect eMac with only USB 1

I've looked around and asked many sources, only to come to the same conclusion that I already thought I knew... no way to go from USB 2.0 through another interface to use firewire on an eMac with only USB 1.1.
I'm curious if anyone has connected a router with a USB 2.0 to an older mac, eMac and/or TiBook in my case via ethernet so that a digital camcorder might appear under the ip-based items available from the router?
there is no reason, other than it being painfully slow over USB 1.1 to think beyond the eMac as it otherwise does every task necessary for my in-laws perfectly. never had a single problem that wasn't caused by their inexperience with a computer, which also makes using a mac so much easier to troubleshoot and fix. they just bought a nice digital hdd (hard disk drive, not hd res) camcorder that communicates via USB 2.0 (as almost all do nowadays).
will any router, or more-specifically an Airport router, be able to communicate with the camcorder via its own USB 2.0 interface and then distribute that data over ethernet to the eMac, or would the router be hamstrung by the same USB 1.1 bottleneck that would affect it if done directly.
I'm also open to other alternatives... I haven't had a chance to play with the camcorder yet, but I imagine that it will somehow mount to the desktop were it able to comm via 2.0. any thoughts?
cheers,
- jeremy

hi duane,
thanks for the quick reply. excellent info.
i noticed that your email said more than the post, did you edit out the last statement, as that was what i was going to comment on...?
my digi camcorder, a tape-based model, does show up like a volume on the desktop, but i wasn't sure of the new hd-based one that my in-laws purchased would. i am able to see the other not just in imovie, so perhps it will mount in the usb port of a router. i don't have an AEBS, but would purchase one specifically for this use if it did work. however i will test it on my us robotics and belkin models that have usb as well. i might also try my NAS drive that has a usb port for daisy-chaining more usb items.
the good thing is that the bottleneck on the emac won't affect the process, it's just a matter of whether the hdd-camcorder can be mounted via one of the other options.
thanks for the other comments, i'll mark as answered once i see how it goes...
anyone else have any thoughts?
