Seems like a DNS error on my side but named.log isn't showing any errors
Or something in Gnome is preventing correct name resolution
I've noticed tracker segfaulting, might be related

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Chazza!
I installed Tracker (because it wasn't installed yet), configured it, had it index my locations, turn on searching for Files and Weather and logged in again. After that it worked flawlessly.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.6: Battery/power icon missing from panel

I've recently ressurected an old Arch laptop that had been lying dormant for a year or a half. Everything's been brought up to speed (pacman -Syu plus a lot of systemd study) satisfactorily except I've noticed that the battery/power icon on the panel is missing. Due to the long time since the install, I have no idea if this is due to an error or some old brilliant idea setting from my side a year or more ago :-(
What I've tried:
* Disabling all extensions (a lot of posts about the system monitor extension causing this -- I've never used it). Extension turn off registers but still no battery.
* Checking htop and gnome power statistics to see if the system knows about my battery. Both report in detail about the battery.
* Checking /usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/panel.js to see if the power applet had been excluded somehow. Nope, it's listed.
* Checking dconf to see if I could find some setting there. Ubuntu user posts led me to org.gnome.power-manager but unlike those users I found no setting relevant ("icon-policy")
* Checking gnome settings and tweak settings. Found nothing that seemed relevant.
A lot of posts about this pops up around gnome 3.2 which apparently had a bug with this problem. I'm not sure what version gnome-shell was before the update but currently it is 3.6.3 and the laptop has been rebooted and had gnome-shell restarted any number of times since then.
Any suggestions?
Last edited by nervater (2013-03-23 16:11:17)

Good point, WonderWoofy.
I created a guest account and found the icon on the panel when I logged in as guest. A bit of guessing located the problem to my dconf database and using gsettings to locate any power/battery-related settings pointed me to
org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.power
which had been deactivated. Clicking 'Active' and restarting gnome-shell solved my problem.

[SOLVED] GNOME Shell 3.4 : Volume Control Missing

Hi all, I have an Acer netbook with Arch Linux i686. I installed GNOME-Shell 3.4, but there is no volume control applet. When playing music, i can't control the volume. Can you help me?

[Solved] Gnome 3 Shell - Icons Missing After Update

After my last update session, some icons went missing in Gnome. Even more unsettling, only some are missing. From what I can tell, my application icons haven't gone anywhere, but things such as minimize, restore, close, etc. are 404. Here's a photo to explain: https://vps.nullh.net/uploads/gnome-icon-issue.png I also noticed nvidia is included in the last update. I searched the forums, but all of the other problems seemed to be different problems (e.g. application icons were all bunched up/missing, desktop icons "missing", etc.) I feel like I should probably have more icons in the folders, too, but I haven't looked in there before the problem to be sure. Also, Alt+F2 "r" doesn't make a difference, the shell reloads but the icons are still AWOL. If anyone has any ideas, I am all ears.

'Some images are missing because they were deleted from the document'

Hi,
I created a document in Pages v5.2 last week and have just opened it and received the following message:
'Some images are missing because they were deleted from the document'
When I try and replace the missing images I get the following message:
'The image "filename" couldn't be inserted.'
When I try and reimport the original image I get the following message:
'The image "filename" couldn't be inserted. This image is of an unsupported type.'
If I try and insert an image that was not in the document before, in the same file format, it goes in fine.
If I insert the original image into a blank Pages document it goes in no problem.
I would also like to point out that the data folder still contains lots of versions of images in the document, but does not seem to have any of the ones I am actually using, which I guess is where the problem is. However I have no idea how or why these specific images have been deleted.
Any light on how this problem has come about, and the best possible way to fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Alex

I have Pages v5.2.2 on OS X 10.9.4. I can not reproduce your stated issues with images in this version of Pages. I don't have a solution for you. See my test in the third paragraph. If I were experiencing this behavior, I would perform a Safe Boot to clear out System caches, and try again, before kicking Pages v5+ to the curb.
The Safe Boot would be pressing and holding the shift key at boot chime, and until a horizontal progress bar shows on the screen. At the eventual login screen, after you type your password — press and hold the shift key — press the right arrow to login, and release the shift key after the Finder menu bar appears. Then reboot normally.
I have created a new document. Dragged and dropped an image into it and saved. Exited Pages. Reopening worked fine. Deleted the image, and proceeded through the following steps, punctuated by save, exit, reopen, and deliberate image removal. Different .jpg image each time. About mid-way through the following item list, I rebooted the MBA just to throw some "spin" into the process. I did not perform a Safe Boot prior to this series of tests.

Insert > Choose jpg into document

[SOLVED] Gnome and gdm is not themed after reinstall

Hi all.
I messed up my Arch install yesterday, so today I reinstalled my system. I normally use Gnome, so I installed everything I normally install. (only things not installed from group gnome is epiphany and gnome-termial, as I use lxterminal instead)
But as I reboot into GDM I find myself surprised: normally GDM will display the green leaf background on me, and after I log in this will be the desktop background. However, this is not the case now. GDM presents a plain black background, and what's more, when I try to change the background in gnome-appearance-preferences, the background image does not change! The only changes I get are the background colors belonging to each background. What has happened since the last time I installed??
Thank you for any help
EDIT: Seems a missing HAL was the problem. Even though GDM no longer depends on HAL, installing HAL and adding it to DAEMONS in rc.conf solved everything for me.

Problem solved. I took gdm out of rc.conf, and uncommented it in in /etc/inittab. Then reinstalled glib2. After that it worked like a charm. Some warning message about wicd not starting D-Bus something, but I can deal with that later. Now typing in Chromium instead of elinks. Mission accomplished. Thanks community!

[SOLVED][Gnome 3.6] notification / notify bug - ONLY icons are shown

Hi,
since the upgrade from gnome 3.4 to 3.6, the notify notifications at the bottom only show the icon associated to the notification, and nothing else (the background/text just my browser showing some text from an arch wiki site...) :
The screenshot shows the USB icon that pops up when I plug-in a USB device. All the text, background and the frame is missing, only the icon is shown. Typing
notify-send 'Hello world!' 'This is an example notification.' --icon=dialog-information
in the shell also only shows the icon (a bulb) and nothing else. I don't know if this could be related, but I have the infinality patched truetype rendering library installed. However, infinality was already in use when running gnome 3.4...

Hi epinephrine, thanks for your post. I thought that Gnome 3.6 had some kind of weird new notification system I hadn't figured out yet, but it turned out to be the Atolm shell theme I was using. Would you please mark this as "solved" so anyone searching for this will see it?

IPhoto events view broken after import, images missing

I'm running the latest iPhoto on a 10.8.2 Retina MacBook Pro and experience some strange import problems since the end of last month.
My library holds more then 26.000 images right now and whenever I try to import some new images by dragging them from Finder to the iPhoto library the images (and videos) get imported... but when I try to view the event afterwards it doesn't open and the scrolling of the complete events view is broken. The scrollbar moves but thumbnails of events don't! I'm not able to use the events view anymore after a try to open such broken event.
When I use the regular photos view (the 2nd item in the left menu) I can see and use these new images... until I quit and restart iPhoto. Afterwards many images are missing – see http://cl.ly/JrjF for an example. I can delete those broken events... but not empty the trash afterwards. It just hangs while purging all entries.
Has anyone experienced this already?
I'm importing iPhone images uploaded to the DropBox "Camera Uploads" folder. But I can't believe it has to do with anything related to this.
I've also disabled the Photostream feature (not the shared ones) in iPhoto because I got tired of splitted events due to Photostream missing some images now and then. Maybe it has to do with that disabled feature. I'll try to reenable it after restoring my 5 days old backup (120GB) a second time now.
Thanks for your help... let's hope I can solve this.

This sounds like a damaged database.
Try this test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
If it's not then back to your main Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Some images don't transfer from RH8 to the Word output

Why is it that some images don't transfer from the RH8 file to my Word output when I generate?
They do transfer to the Flash Help, but not to Word.
Some of them are small images - just shots of icons or tools - and others are quite a bit larger.
It takes me at least another hour to format the Word document after the output.

Hi Patti,
I have had similar problems of images "softly and suddenly vanishing away" during export from RoboHelp to Word. I never really solved the problem, but I did find some useful tips.
First you shouldn't embed your images; in the Printed Documentation Wizard you should select "Link to sub-directory"
This has the advantage that lost images are now replaced by a small red cross -- easier to find when reviewing.
Next, in Word, try Edit>Links. If you are lucky you will see something like this:
Notice that some links have a Source File of ../Images; they are the ones I was missing. For some reason the path to the image file is moved up one level.
I never found out why, but the workaround was simple: copy the entire Images directory and paste it one level higher in the directory hierarchy. A waste of disk space, to be sure, but it worked. The grabs above show Word2003 and RH8.

[Solved] Gnome monospace bold font

For some reason my monospace bold font in gnome seems to be messed-up (see image below). It's starting to get really annoying and I'm not sure how to fix it. I've read through most of the font wiki material but I still can't figure it out. Does anyone have any idea how I can change it?
Edit: Thumb-nailed the image

This is complicated by my unfamiliarity with Gnome. Gnome has been known to have its own way with font configurations (I think due to pango). I could never find the following information stated plainly enough for me to understand on first reading. This is my attempt at clarity. Any corrections are welcome.
The fc-match command shows which font an application will be given when it requests a particular font. If an app should ask for 'monospace', fc-match will show the best match it can find after applying the system and user configuration rules.
The font is matched according to the rules in the configuration files: '~/.font.conf', '/etc/fonts/local.conf' (deprecated), and '/etc/fonts/conf.d'.
The font cache (the coded results of the applied rules appear in '~/.fontconfig/') is rebuilt when the user logs into X. You can also force a rebuild with the command:
$ fc-cache -f
If the file exists, it is safe to rename '~/.font.conf' to another filename and rebuild the font cache with the command given above.
If that doesn't help restore fonts to a sane state, rename '/etc/fonts/local.conf' (if it exists) to something else and rebuild the cache again.
The rules given in '/etc/fonts/conf.d/' should be symlinks to a larger list of rules in '/etc/fonts/conf.avail/'. Check with 'ls -l' to make sure they are just symlinks. The rules are applied for font substitution and display in reverse numerical order. That is, rule 99-* is applied first and then rule 98-*. The lower numbered rule is the rule that "wins" if there are any conflicts.
The easiest way to go back to Arch's default rules is to delete the symlinks in '/etc/fonts/conf.d/' and then reinstall the fontconfig package. If you want to do it manually, these are the symlinks created using the latest fontconfig package:
20-fix-globaladvance.conf
20-unhint-small-vera.conf
29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf
30-metric-aliases.conf
30-urw-aliases.conf
40-nonlatin.conf
45-latin.conf
49-sansserif.conf
50-user.conf
51-local.conf
60-latin.conf
65-fonts-persian.conf
65-nonlatin.conf
69-unifont.conf
80-delicious.conf
90-synthetic.conf
If you don't reinstall fontconfig, you will have to rebuild the font cache with the 'fc-cache -f' command.
Finally, go to the Gnome font selection tool and select some variation of the DejaVu fonts for each font face. If this works, then make your preferred choices over DejaVu in Gnome. I could easily be missing some configuration file for Gnome in these instructions.
The wiki contains much of this information.

The latest issue of Pages for iPad: 1. Very slow. 2. Late in reacting to typing. 3. When I go to a specific file, informs me that some images were deleted and therefore file has been changed. Then when OPEN option used, opens file slowly. Please, help!

What I have to do to correct the following problems with Pages app. For iPad:
Hesitates to display results of typing, some times for 5-6 characters;
Very slow in opening files;
Before opening of a specific file displays message: DOCUMENT DETAILS. SOME CHANGES WERE MADE TO YOUR DOCUMENT. SOME IMAGES ARE MISSING BECAUSE THEY WERE DELETED FROM YOUR DOCUMENT. We'll, nothing is missing. But it takes forever to open this file. The previous issue of Pages worked very good. But they would not let me to go back to it. Please, help!

Tmobile did the exact same thing to me. So that is customer service at work in general. Nice try though lol.
To the OP
I see you said You paid for shipping, did you Insure it? Claim insurance on it. If you did not, It may not be Verizon or your fault in the sense of the phone not making it to the warehouse. There are people out in the postal world that will steal phones that are not insured. It could have been a Verizon employee, i suppose.
But, if this was to be a bought in court, if you shipped it with out insurance, sadly your at fault.
Do you still have the Serial number of your old phone? If so, you should be able to track where your phone is (if it is reported as a defect/damaged) If so, you may be able to use that as proof. If it does not show up as a defect or what ever they determine use as a loss, then you know it did not make it to the warehouse to be checked in. I would suspect Apple or Verizon could tell you what the Serial number came up as.

How do you stop 'Transferring Data from...' in toolbar on first page of a website - eventually stops but takes a minute then loases some images on a site when complete - other browsers are fine.

Only happens on index page of website - Firefox repeatedly says 'connecting to site/transfering data from site in the status bar for about a minute before finally 'done', then some images on the index page are missing. All other browsers are fine - how do you turn off this problem in Firefox - there is nothing to download on the index page, already displayed but can't continue unless you jump to another page in the site. Searched web and many references to this but no definate answer. Code is same on all pages of site, just the index page which hangs.

Images Missing in File

1) If all layers are showing (visible) is it possible some will not be visible until rendering. I played the file and some images were missing. I checked to see that the images were included in the file and they are.
2) I believe some of the images are missing but the guy who made the file say’s they are all there. I need to show him a render but don’t want to render out the whole animation. Is it possible to do a “quick” render of only the problematic part of the file to show someone the problem area?
What is the best way to set this up?

a.) Move your playhead to the section where the problematic frames begin and press the B Key to set the beginning of your work area.
b.) Then move your playhead to the end of your work area and press the N key to set the end of your work area.
When you send your comp to the Render Queue, click "Best Settings" to open up the Render Settings menu. It should be on automatically, but you can check to make sure "Work Area Only" is selected next to Time Span: to make sure that you're only rendering the work area section of the timeline.

Errors in Export to PDF for web use - some images are lost when PDF is enlarged & in browser

I have a multi-page PDF in InDesign CS6 that I want to export to view on the web. I need the file to stay under 2MB, and I need it to be crisp and nice enough to read the type on the page (as small as 9pt type).
The errors that are occurring are the following:
On some browsers, some images will entirely not show up. Some of the missing images have been pasted into the document, some placed. I cannot think of a correlation.
When the PDF is enlarged (Adobe Acrobat X 10.1.10) to more than ~200%, there is one placed image that will mostly disappear. What I mean by "mostly" is that little bits of it are still visible, like I masked it carelessly or something. Since this is only occurring with one image it seems that it would be a problem with the image itself, yes? I'm all ears if I'm making a mistake. It is a placed .ai file with no link errors. Should I not be placing directly from illustrator? It renders wonderfully from 100% all the way up to 188%, and then if you enlarge by margins of 1% little bits of it disappear, almost a chunk at a time.
The way I've been exporting is:
File > Export > Adobe PDF (Print)
Adobe PDF Preset: Smallest File Size
Standard: None
Compatinility: Acrobat 6 (PDF 1.5)
Options: Optimize for Fast Web View
Export Layers: Visible & Printable Layers
Compression
I always change the downsampling from [100/150] to [150/225]. I usually leave the JPG image quality low. I leave both bottom boxes checked (compress text and line art, crop image data to frames)
Output
Color Conversion: convert to destination
Destination: sRGB 1EC61966-2.1
Profile Inclusion Policy: Include Destination Profile
However, after reading a few other forum questions I started trying to export as Acrobat 4 so that it would flatten. When I do that, problem #2 still persists although I didn't test problem #1. I haven't tried using Distiller, and using the "prepare for web publishing" action within Acrobat itself makes the PDF too artifacted.
At the heart of my question is this: I am a young designer at an old company that is not necessarily keeping up with the times. I REALLY want to know what the best, most efficient way to export a pdf for web viewing is. Does this exist in InDesign, outside of InDesign? Does it exist at all? Tell me what I'm doing wrong so that I can get better!
Thank you in advance.

Show Large Images is a preference inside of Acrobat which might be disabled.

Bridge not displaying SOME images

Hi, stumped on a problem I am having with Bridge CS4. Some images are not showing up at all. I know they are in the folder since I can see them in Windows Explorer or if I naviagate to the folder when placing files in InDesign or Illustrator. All the images are the same file types (tif, jpeg, psd, png) as the other files I CAN see. Have tried refreshing, clearing cache, restarting, etc. but this has been ongoing for a while. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I see nothing at all. For example, I have images A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 that exist in the folder. In Bridge, I only see A1, A3, A4. It seems random what images are not appearing. I should also add that my counterpart that sits in next cube over CAN see all the images in Bridge.
