[SOLVED] Gnome 3.6.1 Control Center Printers and Users "unlock"...

I have an Arch system running Gnome 3.6 with systemd, and without consolekit as is now the standard.
After upgrading from Gnome 3.4 to 3.6, the unlock buttons in both Users and Printers section of gnome-control-center no longer work. (In 3.4, the printers dialog could authenticate but it never actually worked properly - I heard they fixed this in 3.6. I never tried the Users panel back then)
Anyways, I sifted through the source code for the Printers dialog, and it points to the polkit 'org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.all-edit' rule. Reading the rule file for cupspkhelper (which exists), it specified "allow_admin" is what this rule wants. Following further research, I added myself to the 'wheel' group which apparently should work. And after all of this? It still doesn't work. I imagine that there is a similar problem for the Users panel, but I haven't investigated in detail.
Any ideas to get this working? Is it broken upstream? Is it my fault?
Thanks
[edit] I guess I should post some logs, bug running gnome-control-center in terminal doesn't actually output anything. -v adds nothing other than to say it is in debug mode.

Additionally, I have a newly added suspicion that gnome just needs ConsoleKit.

I should note that this cleared up on its own after a packagekit update it seems.

I cannot find the AirPlay icon for the life of me. I have iOS 7.0.2 on my iPad Mini. Connected to my WiFi network just fine. I swipe up to get to the control center badges and all I see is the AirDrop icon. Trying to disable mirroring on ipad for Netflix streaming and don't know what to do. Any luck out there?

If you last used an Apple TV to mirror your device and have updated to the newest Apple TV software, go into settings and turn airplay back on. The icon should then appear on your iPad mini when you swipe up allowing you to disable it for Netflix. After updating my Apple TV software for some reason it turned airplay off.

Strongly recommended: ios7 control center switches to user-defined, we can add the cellular and 3G switch.

Logitech Control Center Software and Slow StartUp

Has anyone noticed that startup and login are slower after installing the Logitech Control Center software?
After installing it I get the beach ball when I log in which I didn't before the installation.
Thanks for any thoughts.

IOS 7 Control Center - Otterbox and Griffin Armor Case Users

I have had similar problems with both my iPad and iPhone getting the control center to swipe up from the very bottom of the screen...the only solution right now is to try and wedge your finger at the very bottom of the screen and swipe up and hope that works, or take your front cover off and leave the screen exposed or put a screen film over it and use it that way. You could cut some of the bottom plastic away to give you a spot to swipe up but that would make the case look ugly.
There is however an easy fix and it is up to Apple to do this or not:
Just as you can swipe down anywhere on the screen to do a spotlight search, release a patch that does the same for the control center...anywhere you swipe up on the home row area, the control center comes up.
Problem solved...you didn't think this one through by only make it a small strip area at the bottom of the screen and not taking into account armored cases.

I did solve the issue....
If you have a Griffin case you can push the protective cover film away from the case and then use a dremel tool to lightly sand the plastic in the right corner to the shape of a half-circle. Be careful not to dremel the plastic, but once you are done you can put the cover back on and now control center works perfectly as long as you use your finger in the bottom right corner.
Easy mod and fix.

Ios7 and bug of control center for bypassing the unlock procedure

step 1 - open control center.
step 2- launch for example calculator.
step 3- push the home button.
result: the iPhone is full unlocked!!!!

No, you can't bypass the passcode that way. You probably have your passcode set for a delay. Unless you have your passcode set for Immediatly, the screen will mostly go to sleep ("Autolock") before the phone locks. The default time for the phone to go to sleep is 1 minute. The default time for the passcode to kick in is 15 minutes. So, in those 14 minutes, the phone is not passcode locked. That's the way it's supposed to work. If you set the passcode to kick in as soon as the phone goes to sleep, the steps you outline do NOT let you bypass the lock code. I've verified this on my iPhone and iPad.
Best of luck.

How do I get the Brother Printers Control Center to work again?

The Brother Control Center for Brother's MultiFunction Printer/Scanners disappeared after upgrading to Snow Leopard. The previous files were erased in HD\Library\Printers\Brother\Utilities\ and the Control Center is gone. The Brother USA website http://www.brother-usa.com only lists software updates for 10.5. 10.6 is not listed as an option
How do I start the Control Center to scan documents and chose between different Brother printers?
Thank you for your help.

Thank you for this link. It helped me find the solution.
1. Take the Brother Install DVD and reinstall the printer software.
2. Ignore that there is newer software on your computer.
3. Restart the computer
4. Go into the HD\Library\Printers\Brother\Utilities\Control Center directory and restart the ControlCenter
5. Run Software Update and install the SL printer update
6. Reconfigure the ControlCenter software buttons via the customize buttons as needed
Everything seems to be working fine again.

[SOLVED] Gnome 3.8 apps crash with X Window System Error

So far this applications are affected:
- gnome-terminal (when clicking on menu)
- gnome-control-center (when choosing Users or Date & Time and some other tiles, choosing account in GOA)
- epiphany (when clicking on new tab button)
They crash with following error in console:
(gnome-control-center:12717): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gnome-control-center' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadImplementation (server does not implement operation)'.
(Details: serial 3583 error_code 17 request_code 148 minor_code 46)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
dmesg show only this line:

My graphic card (iI guess this has something to do with xorg):
AMD Mobility Radeon HD 4550 (using catalyst legacy driver 13.1 with Xorg 1.12)
Last edited by szorti (2013-04-24 08:40:26)

I did a little test:
- upgraded to xorg 1.14
- switched from catalyst to xf86-video-ati drive
Most of the errors dissappeared (GOA still crashes).
But now i can only see message tray using keyboard shortcut (super + m). I read that I need to move my mouse fast to the botton edge of my screen - does not work - instead it show up randomly when i moved mouse near the bottom edge.
I don't want to use the open source drivers (slow and laggy with multi monitor setup I'm using). I hope gnome devs will fix this bugs soon.
SOLUTION (to still use catalyst):
I found out that this is an Xorg 1.12 bug.
Bug: http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2012/12/msg00133.html
To solve this use patch from this bugreport to compile xorg 1.12
I used this aur packages:
1. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xf86 … evdev1.12/
2. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xorg-server1.12/ - I have edited PKGBUILD to include patch from bug report above

Boot Camp - Windows 7 (64-bit) - Catalyst Control Center

Hi,
This topic is all about running Catalyst Control Center on your Mac in Boot Camp.
Setup:
Mac Pro 2.66 (early 2009)
ATI Radeon HD 5870
Boot Camp 3.2
Windows 7 (64-bit) SP1
Case:
First I uninstalled all graphic drivers that came with Mac OS disc. After that I booted up in safe mode and removed all left-overs with Drive Sweeper. After verifying that everything was gone I booted up in standard mode and installed latest version of Catalyst Software Suite (v.11.2).
Notice! To get through with the installation of CSS I had to uncheck features like drag and drop decoding. If I did not uncheck those features the installation process would fail...no clue why. After a "successful" installation it still does not work. When I right-click the CCC shortcut or try to start the application from its folder nothing happens.
*Solution (if any):*
Any ideas?
<Edited by Host>

I had trouble accessing catalyst control center (for my AMD Radeon HD 6700M Series display adapter) on my Windows partition (64-bit). I tired installing the drivers from the mac os x cd and from AMD's web site. While I could successfully install the driver, I couldn't get the control center up and running. The interesting solution to this problem was downloading the AMD Catalyst™ 12.2 Preview Driver. After installation, i was able to access the catalyst control center and solve a problem that I was having (undersize on my monitor when using HDMI). I hope that this helps solve the problem to others who are experiencing it (I thought I'd post as this page came up in my solution searching).

Control Center Debug Error

A few days ago I installed the latest version of Control Center, 2.5.060, and it worked fine until today when it started putting up a debug error, "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way". I tried uninstalling it and re-installing it, also tried doing a system restore to about a day ago when I'm pretty sure the problem wasn't there.
This problem came up after making some changes to the IME. I updated to the latest version but ran into a transient problem where the IME driver was failing when coming out of suspend, so I tried rolling back to the previous version. That seemed to fix the problem with the driver failing but then the problem came up with Control Center. So I tried updating to the latest version again, now it seems to be working when coming out of suspend but Control Center isn't. If I click on ignore it just hangs at the loading screen and has to be manually terminated, if I click retry it just crashes.
I previously had a problem with Control Center putting up the error message about replacing the IME version. I solved that by turning off Control Center Count. Now I've tried it with and without Control Center Count running but just get the same debug error no matter what.
Specs;
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k @ 3.4 GHz
Mobo: MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming
RAM: 2 x 4 GB G SKILL Ripjaws DDR3-1600
GPU: Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 OC
HDD: WD Caviar Black 1 TB
ODD: Asus 24x DVD Burner
PSU: Rosewill Capstone 650-M 80+ Gold Cert.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Just noticed that I'm getting the same problem with ClickBios
Also tried rolling back to the previous version of Control Center, no luck there.

Error on Control Center while trying to run jobs

Hi,
I got a problem while trying to run the scheduled jobs or process flows.
We tried restarting the control center service manually. It is started without throwing any errors at the backend. But when I open the control center service and try to start or stop a job, its throwing the below error.
The error is as below.
ORA-20029: The control center service is not currently available
ORA-06512: at "OWB_REPO.WB_RTI_EXCEPTIONS", line 107

I am not able to resolve it. Could any one of you please help me in resolving it?
It is very urgent. Thanks a ton in advance

SriGP.

Hi Oliver,
Thanks again!!
There are a lot of queues in DBA_Queues.
But how can we know which queues should be enabled and which queues should be disabled? As I observed, All the Exception queues are disabled and the reamining queues are enabled.
About the parameter aq_tm_processes, we have not changed the value of it. Previously, all the jobs used to execute perfectly with the same setting. So, I dont think the value is a problem.
Recently, we had the below problem in database, because of which all the jobs got stalled/hanged. The system DBA had resolved this problem by extending the SYSTEM tablespace. After that all the database is fine except the OWB jobs. Is there any impact on the on the owb jobs because of the below error?
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01653: unable to extend table SYS.AUD$ by 8192 in tablespace SYSTEM
ORA-02002: error while writing to audit trail
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-01653: unable to extend table SYS.AUD$ by 8192 in tablespace SYSTEM

Control Center problem (Following migration from 9.2)

Hi,
I've performed migration from 9.2 to 10.2 following chapter 3 of the install guide. I can deploy / upgrade my objects OK using my default control center but if I try and debug a mapping it cant connect. The debug info pane sits on 'Connecting to Control Center schema' and then pops up with an error offering a retry.
Im stuck as to whats wrong, I've set up a new control center, re-registered my target location with that and still I cant debug.
Has anyone seen this before following a migration?
Thanks in advance !

did you check whether synonym exist in the database? use below sql to see the synonym.
select SYNONYM_NAME,owner,TABLE_NAME,TABLE_OWNER from dba_synonyms where SYNONYM_NAME='XMLCONCAT';

Control Center Manager - blank grey window .... forever

I'm running OWB10gR2. Many times a day I will choose Tools->Control Center Manager from the OWB Design window. The Control Center Manager window comes up but is just blank. In most cases I must bring up the Windows Task Manager to kill the process. Occasionally even the Task Manager won't kill the process and I must reboot.
Has anyone seen this situation? Please send me your thoughts/ideas?
Could this be Java version related?
Thanks,
Bob Larsen

Bob,
You could try removing the file owb/bin/admin/DeployMgrLayout.xml - this stores the layout of the Control Center Manager, and if it's become corrupted, may result in an empty window as you've described.
Failing that, try running the owb client from command line using owb/bin/win32/owbclient.sh, and check the displayed log for any errors when the Control Center Manager is invoked.

Can find E-Business Control Center

I'm running portal 4.0 on solaris and currently trying to get things working. I've managed to get most up and running but I can't the e-business control center up and running? It looks as if I'm missing the files which has something to do with the EBCC?
regards
Stig

Stig,
For the GA Release of WebLogic Portal 4.0 EBCC is available on Windows NT/2000 only.
You have to download EBCC separately and then install it on a Windows NT/2000 box.
If you go to download site and select the "Sun Solaris" platform ans then "Procees to Download",
you will find the link for downloading EBCC just below the link for dowloading portal 4.0.
EBCC for Solaris will be available with Service Pack 1 which is planned to be available around
mid-December.
Hope that helps,
Michel.

Control center opening

Is there some alternative method of opening control center? Some users with certain types of cases are unable to open control center with the swipe up from the bottom. Why didn't testing discover this, and offer an alternative. Even Siri won't open it. Come on, guys, this is basic.

Brooklyn Lion wrote:
Yes, I have the exact same problem with Control Center - I have to swipe countless number of times to get it to open. I tied two-finger swipes, certer swipe, corner swipe - you name it; nothing worked. I have iPhone 4S and I have no idea whether it is just phone issue or a major screw-up with the system.
Cases that come close to the bottom of the screen render opening the control center nearly impossible. I told my wife not to get a case like that, but she thought it would protect the phone better... What good is a protected phone if you can't USE it? Just lock it in a box, and it will be safe....
