[SOLVED] hdapsd/gnome-hdaps-applet/kernel26/tp_smapi: Some issues

Hej all,
I posted some comments on the package hdapsd http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=5401. At the moment, loading the modules from tp_smapi and starting hdaps works without problems, when enabling the unload_heads by executing as root
echo -1 > /sys/block/sda/device/unload_heads
Now shaking the laptop (only a bit;) results in the output of hdapsd
Fri Mar 6 17:30:48 2009: Starting hdapsd
Fri Mar 6 17:33:16 2009: parking
Fri Mar 6 17:33:19 2009: Error! Not parked when we thought we were... (paged out and timer expired?)
Fri Mar 6 17:33:19 2009: un-parking
But a simultaneously played movie stops... So something is working, but also the new gnome-hdaps-applet (version 20081204-1) does not change the "play" sign into the "pause" sign while shaking... All this worked while using the bit outdated kernel26tp with old versions of hdapsd and gnome-hdaps-applet.
So, does someone has ideas how to debug this further?
Thanks,
Andreas
Edit: The problem is solved and had nothing to do with the software/kernel. I needed to update the firmware of my drive with the help of lenovos FWHD55.ISO...(in fact it was a bit harder since I own a non-IBM harddrive...see here http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Talk:Prob … hard_disks and search for hfui15.exe, don't forget the -pm switch to tell the badly programmed software that your HD is Primary master...)

[SOLVED] xmonad + panel logging applets

Until recently I used xmonad-log-applet, but after the last update, xmonad is unable to connect to dbus. I get the following error:
xmonad-x86_64-linux: D-Bus Error (org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply): Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
As this is quite a generic message, google wasn't of much help. and I know practically nothing about dbus, so I do not to know where to start looking for the problem. As an alternative I also tried this, which seems to take a simpler approach. But when I try to load it into my (xfce) panel (via XfApplet) I get this message:
An internal error occurred and the applet could not be loaded.
which is also quite informative... Starting a "real" gnome panel also doesn't help. Here I have the suspicion of some missing dependencies, although the program compiles just fine.
Does anyone have some clues?

I deserve a big facepalm! For the gnome-socket-applet I didn't export the GNOME_SOCKET_APPLET_PORT variable, so the program didn't start. I should have RTFM in more detail. But the socket-applet works at my computer at home, but not on the one at work
I will mark this topic as solved, as I can use the dbus solution at work and the socket solution at home, but I am still intrigued why the difference arises. If I find the time, I will try to port the gnome-socket-applet to a native xfce panel applet and hopefully it will be more stable.
BTW I uploaded a PKGBUILD for gnome-socket-applet

[Gnome] Shutdown applet and logout applet inconsistent behaviour?

I don't know when or why but sometimes
the dialogs of the shutdown applet and the logout applet
look completely different
When I first log-in into X/Gnome the shutdown dialog of the shutdown applet looks like
but then after a while it turns out to be like
I dunno if it's because logged out of X and logged-in before. Anyway shouldn't the dialog look the same all the time?
The same thing happens to the logout dialog of the logout applet
Anyone with some insight why this happens?
Thank you.

Hey guess what everyone!
I am now using GDM again but my shutdown icon is still greyed-out and unusable.
Case in point:
gnome-power-manager is running also.

Gnome Volume Applet hates mouse wheel ..

Hi, I noticed that the Gnome Volume Applets when is controlled with the mouse wheel sometimes acts very weird...
to explain me a little better if i rotate the mouse wheel above its icon to increase volume there are certain values wherein it gets excluded/disabled (dunno the official translation).
does it only happens to me?
thx for your replies
[edit] uhm I forgot to mention a thing, I've tried with gnome-applets from the extra repo (gnome 2.22) and with the latest (this evening versions) of gnome-applets (+ libweather + gnome-panel )( because there is a boring crash of clock_applet with latest version of gnome-applets... but this is another story ) from AUR.

It's some bug in alsa that freaks out on volume control with the gnome volume applet. This happened since the upgrade to kernel 2.6.25. There's an upstream bug running at kernel.org's bugzilla for this, but I guess it's something in alsa-lib.
Edit:
It's something that changed in event handling that causes the gnome volume control thing to go in a loop:

Gnome Panel applet that shows output of system command.

Hi all;
Because of the recent hostile takeover of #archlinux channel by tilling WM fanatics.. I will ask here..
Does any one know of a Gnome Panel applet that shows the output of system command of your choice?
For people who Conky is a bit too much and they only want a simple piece of data available (like what is the current IP on ppp0 interface) like me.. this is a necessity.
If its not in existence I would probably make one.. shouldn't take long, I also would like to hear if there is any interest.
Thanks

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Changed code to:
$dism = "X:\Windows\System32\Cmd.exe /c start CMD /k dism /apply-image /imagefile:D:\W7x86.wim /index:1 /applydir:C:\"
And voila, new window opened with the live output of dism.
new... and have a glazed over look about my eyes to prove it...

[SOLVED] Install Gnome DE without Pulse Audio?

I currently have XFCE4, E17 and Fluxbox installed. I was thinking about installing Gnome DE. But I have alsa set up nicely and I do NOT want pulseaudio (Pulseaudio seems to be nothing but headaches for me.)
So is there a way through pacman that I can install Gnome DE, extras and tools while forcing it not to install pulseaudio? If so will this cause Gnome DE to be unstable or unusable?

So, no you can't. But you can choose not to use it.
I was afraid of that. Thanks for the reply.
In the past I have done that, chose not to use it. But I was hoping I could just not install it from the start and not have to go through that. I think I will not install Gnome. It did have some tools that I liked but I am finding alternatives already. So I will just keep what I have and add only what I need/want.

BS heißt "Bull___****". *lol* "Betriebssystem" heißt imemr noch "operating system". GoLive wirste wohl gar nicht zum laufen kriegen. ohnehin würde man es nicht mehr verwenden, weil es noch nicht mal CSS2 voll unterstützt geschweige denn HTML 5 und andere moderne Webstandards. Wenn überhaupt, dann findeste vielleicht noch 'ne OEM CD von Strato oder 1und1 bei eBay. Die haben das damals mit jedem neuen Hostingvertrag rausgehauen. Aber wie gesagt, es ist den Aufwand nicht wert. Illustrator sollte sich durchaus installieren lassen. Eventuell einfach nochmal die Installer im Win XP Kompatibilitätsmodus laufen lassen...

Hi,
Try to modify the master page and overload the css style. Have a look :
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ms466994(v=office.14).aspx.
If you need to modify the style just for one page only, you could add a script webpart instead to modify the master page

Same problem after upgrading to gnome 2.30

Gnome Status Applet

Is there a bug opened that the Sun Update Gnome Status applet should only run as root. It show's up on every users desktop on a multi user system such as Sun Ray or Tarantella.

It was intended that the status applet be available to all users.
When you launch the Update Manager, it will require you to provide credentials to use the application (these credentials are typically username and password of an account that has root priviledge) .
If a user has such credentials, anything that they could do from UM, they could do from the command line, so perhaps I am missing the issue....

Gnome-keyboard-applet uses wrong background color

gnome-keyboard-applet always uses white color as a background, even when panel's color is not white.
(Or, maybe, not exactly white, but it's clearly different from panel's color)
WTF?

It seems that this is the problem with theme. I'm using gnome-human-theme from AUR.
With other murrine themes it's OK. Does somebody know where in gtkrc is the color value, which is responsible for that?

How to fix my gnome clock applet

Hi there,
When I left-click on the gnome-clock-applet to activate it, it shows the calender in the middle-right of the screen instead of in the bottom-right (the applet itself locates in the bottom-right). Anybody knows how to fix it? Thanks in advance.
Hope that I make myself understood, because English is not my mother tongue and I don't know how to upload a screenshot to show.

And when I place the gnome-panel in the top, the clock applet acts correctly...Weird...

After updating my mac book pro to the osx yosemite.am getting some issues after starting up.as soon as it gets on the destop the screen start blinking and i cant do anything.Please help me!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Gnome 3.6 and Eclipse theme issue

Hi all,
I just upgraded to Gnome 3.6, but since then there are some issues with Eclipse buttons. Specifically, toggle buttons states for selected/not selected appear to be the same, with only the text color being slightly darker when selected. Here is a screenshot:
This happens with both Eclipse 4.2 and 3.7, and it didn't happen on Gnome 3.4, so this should be a bug of Gnome 3.6 Adwaita theme.
Anyone else experiencing this too?
Thanks
