[solved] How do I turn off SMART warnings in Gnome?

I run the smartd daemon for the 8 hard drives in my server. One drive has about 90 bad sectors so it will most likely fail soon. But I can't return it unless it hits 100. Anyway, in Gnome, I keep getting warnings in that notification section in the bottom that the drive is failing and it's annoying me to no end. How can I turn off these warnings? Smartd mails me every detail anyway, I really don't need these constant warnings in my desktop environment as well.

I'm not entirely sure if i got your setup right, but you could try to disable parts of the gnome-settings-daemon via dconf. Have a look at org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins, especially at "householding". Either try a higher value for "min-notify-period":
Specify a time in minutes. Subsequent warnings for a volume will not appear more often than this period.
Or uncheck "active" for a more radical solution.

  • How do I turn off "Smart Cut and paste" in InDesign?

    Hi,
    A programmer told me, that ID has a function called "smart cut and paste":
    smart cut and paste boolean -- If true, automatically adjusts spacing among words and between words and punctuation marks when cutting and pasting text.
    http://www.mugginsoft.com/html/kosmictask/ASDictionaryDocs/Adobe/InDesign/OS-X-10.7/InDesi gn-CS5/html/html/FULL/classes/text_editing_preference.html
    Unfortunately, it shows some weird text exchange behaviour when copying and pasting text.
    My web and my forum search showed no results.
    So: How can it be turned off?
    Thanks for your help!
    Mathais

    Thank you very much!
    In the German version of InDesign's GUI it is called "Beim Ausschneiden und Einfügen von Wörtern Abstand automatisch anpassen".

  • [SOLVED] How can I turn off the annoying auto indent tabs in VIM?

    I'm coding in Python and VIM is auto-tabbing each new line.  It's a real buzz kill.
    When I hit enter at the left margine, even when there is nothing on the line above the cursor, it shoots out a tab and three spaces.  I've switched to nano but feel lost without VIM.  I've never seen this behavior before.  I've turned off all of the auto indentation options I can think of.
    ***** begin .vimrc *****
    set noautoindent
    set nosmartindent
    set noindentexpr
    set nocindent
    ***** end .vimrc *****
    Thanks!
    [UPDATE]
    I wish I could delete this post.  ... anyway...  the solution was:
    set indentexpr=''

    Unfortunately, I have to do a ":set indexexpr='' " each time I start VIM.  I've got it in the .vimrc but it seems to be ignored.
    I'm used to Ubuntu and this feels really weird.  It's like profiles aren't processed.
    I would appreciate it if somoeone would point me in the correct direction.

  • How can I turn off Font warnings?

    Hi gang, there used to be a preferences panel where I could toggle a bunch of warnings in Flash, but I can't find it anymore. I googled and failed. Anybody know if / how I can get Flash to not warn me when I'm missing a font? I have my reasons, but not worth explaining.
    Thanks,

    Add the following line to $ORACLE_HOME/search/webapp/config/search.properties and then restart oc4j:

  • How to turn off smart mail account selection?

    How do you turn off the extremely annoying smart mail account selection?

    On the iCloud website, set up three Rules (click the cogwheel icon at top right and choose Rules) to move all messages addressed to [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] to the Trash. It will be deleted from there after 30 days.
    You can't set up an automatic bounce, but in any case please, never bounce spam. Most spam has forged 'From' addresses so all you are doing is sending yet more spam to totally innocent people (who are probably already getting a lot of bounces because of this) and making a bad situation worse. Even if the 'From' address is genuine, I very much doubt any spammer is going to remove your address from a huge list  (they certainly would get a lot of bounces from actually dead addresses) - and in any case they can probably tell it's not a genuine bounce easily enough, so now you've just confirmed that your address works. Don't bounce it - just delete and forget.

  • How to Turn off Smart Quotes

    I am unable to turn off “smart quotes” (for the purpose of entering computer code). I have unchecked the box in System Preferences > Language > Keyboard, and in Safari and Mail under the Edit Menu > Substitutions (also in Word and TextEdit), but the smart or ”curly quotes“ continue to appear in each application. Is there any way to fix this in Mavericks? I am running OS X 10.9.3

    TL;DR: AFAIK, nobody tries to use Microsoft Word for programming in Python, or programming in general, and TextEdit is dicy here at best.
    slps01 wrote:
    red_menace:
    That's my problem: no matter how I set the preferences in the applications, the smart quotes won't go away.
    There is clearly an issue with smart quotes in your configuration.  The global smart quotes setting is not being honored, nor is any local setting that might exist.  
    Which particular application are you using to edit your Python code when this problem arises?  
    (As with programming in general, details matter here.)
    Did the tools you are using also get restarted after the global settings were changed?
    Why ask this stuff?  This information will allow folks to see if there's something else going on within that particular application, and it's also because there are text tools around that just won't create text files that the Python interpreter can process — whatever you're using here is probably closer to creating a plain-text file than some, as you're noticing the smart quotes here, though.  Of what you've mentioned so far, Microsoft Word is not known for its ability to create ASCII or UTF-8 text files, and TextEdit is dicy here at best as that tool is quite fond of using RTF formats. 
    But if it's Word or TextEdit you're using?  That won't work at all well.   TextWrangler (free) is a common choice for folks that prefer a GUI editor, or MacVim (free) or whatever emacs is current (also free) or other such if you'd prefer a more advanced editor.  (Note: vim and emacs are much more cryptic, and much more powerful editors.)  Or use the included nano editor (has an on-screen list of commands), or the integrated vim or emacs editors at the command line.   There are also Python IDE packages around, as well.  (Xcode doesn't support Python, though there are reports of some success with it.)  These tools all work, and these tools all produce the sorts of sequential text files that the compilers and interpreters can process.   In some cases, these tools also provide syntax highlighting and other features, which can be very useful when coding, too.

  • How do i turn off warnings?

    anytime a new page loads, or current page reloads, i get a warning from javascrpit application, "uninstal set" (typo from warning, not mine.) i spend more time closing out warnings than working. can i turn off these warnings? i dont understand html to try to solve this problem on my own.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How do I turn off HP Sure supply notification pop-ups?

    Hi,
     How do I turn off HP Sure Supply notification pop-ups? They are constant and annoying. I buy HP inks from a different supplier, please help.
    Liz

    Hi @lh39,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand you would like to turn off the HP Sure Supply notifications, you are using a different brand of cartridges and keep getting the pop up.
    1. Start Menu
    2. Control Panel
    3. Devices and Printers
    4. Highlight your OJ 8600 (Click on it)
    5. You should now notice at the top of the devices and printers box there is a Print server properties tab (see pic below)
    6. Once in the print server properties please click on the Advanced tab
    7. Make sure ALL the boxes are unchecked (see pic below)
    8. Click Apply
    Please keep in mind that this will not turn off essential printer messages, notifying you of problems such as lack of ink or paper jams; it turns off messages notifying you of the completion of a print job or low ink warnings. Essential printer messages are built into the firmware of the printer itself and cannot be disabled.
    I got this helpful information www.ehow.com
    If you are still getting the error message, use genuine HP ink cartridges to avoid the pop up.
    I hope this helps, please let me know if you require more assistance.

  • Turning off Smart quotes?

    Does anyone know how to turn off smart quotes in RHX5? I've

    You may not have a wireless network adapter.
    If it is not in Network Adapters and you have no Device Manager errors or disabled devices under Network Adapters then that would be the case.

  • How do I turn off the Ipod Charging Tone?

    Firstly please don't say by turning down the sound slider because if I do I can't play the music on my ipod whilst it's charging.
    Right the situation is that my iPod touch is connected via usb in my car so I can play music on the move, also as a bonus my iPod is charging at the same time, but here's the problem because it is charging not only do I get the music from the iPod I also get the annoying charging tone through the speakers. I can't find a setting for this specific tone in the settings, and searches would suggest that it can't be turned off. I do hope this is not the case becasue if it is it's madness. Also if I connect via aux cable if the usb is connecting ie the iPod is charging I still get the charging tone trilling it's merry way.
    How can I turn off this tone. I know I can disconnect the usb ie stop the charging but that defeats to object as I then gradually use up the power meaning on long journeys I have to either dispense with the iPod or put up with the tone. Also when I get to my destination instead of having a fully charged iPod I am already down on power.
    HELP?

    Okay, well I'm still not aware of any iPod which repeats the charging tone. Have you checked in the Connector recess of your iPod to make sure there is no muck in there, or that there is no damage to the connector pins? This is because I still think that the connection between the cable, dock or whatever and the iPod is not staying "made". In other words, the connection is disconnecting and reconnecting and every time it reconnects, the beep sounds.
    Can you watch the iPod's display? When charging, the battery symbol shows the lightning bolt or, when full, the plug in the battery. Does that change to the battery only just before the charging beep? If so, that suggests that the connection is being repeatedly broken and re-made. Also check the cable (just in case).
    If you cannot solve this I think there are two options available to you.
    Ask any of your friends (who have an iPod Touch with the same iOS version on it) if their iPod does the same as yours; if they are aware of a setting for this and if so, how to turn it off, or; 
    Make an appointment at the Genius bar of your local Apple store and see if they can sort this out.
    Like you, I do not see the "change with buttons" option mentioned by kartabyaa, although I only have iOS 4.2.1 on my Touch. (I don't believe the iOS version is different to mine in this respect, but if you ask someone with the same iOS version as you, that should help confirm or refute what the iPod can and should do.)

  • How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto ?

    How do I turn off auto split in iPhoto? I have about 8,000 old photos I would like to import but it splits them in to loads of events. Would just like to leave them in year folders.

    First try, if importing a sample folder with two images with different days, more than a week apart, will import them as only one event on your mac and  the autosplit is behaving the same for you as for me.
    May be I will have to do it folder by folder which will take for ever.
    Would it be possible for you to join some of the folders before importing?
    Or join your events in iPhoto after importing. Creating yearly events is fairly simple (tested in iPhoto 9.5.1)
    Create a smart album for each year (File > New ) with the smart rule "Date is in the range ...."
    Then select all photos in this smart album and use the command from the "events" menu "create event". This will collect all photos in a new yearly event.
