[SOLVED] how to do colour profiling/calibrating (when using XFCE)

Today I got my ColorHug colorimeter (for screen calibration) in the mail.
I'm using XFCE, and see that the standard way to load a profile is to just put "xcalib profile.icc" in some autorun.
And I see that by installing the colorhug-client I get a simple way of flashing the device itself.
But what's the standard way to calibrate/profile my monitor in XFCE? Gnome has gnome-color-manager, which seems to make things really easy, but when I installed that and did gcm-calibrate, I just got "No device specified!" and there was no --help at all; does it only work when you're logged into Gnome Shell?
I then tried dispcalGUI, which is quite scary-looking. But this program at least recognized the ColorHug and had big buttons saying Calibrate/Profile which show lots of big coloured squares for my new device to hug. But even after rtfm-ing the terms I'm not 100 % clear on the difference between calibration and profiling/characterisation, can I use the same device for both processes?

Note: this seems to work
$ sudo pacman -S gnome-settings-daemon
$ /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gnome-settings-daemon &
$ colormgr get-devices # take note of the Device ID of the one with Type: display, e.g. "xrandr-Acme Corp"
$ gcm-calibrate --device="some Device ID"

[SOLVED]How to search package name only when using yaourt

I often install a AUR package by yaourt term, but it does not only search terms in package name but also package description, since there are so much packages in AUR, it produce many pages of items, and it can not support more to page one screenful at a time, It
become difficult to get the right choice,
Thank you in advance!

Hey, that's one thing I actually know how to do with regexes! All package descriptions have some spaces at their beginning, the package names themselves have not, so you can just use inverted grepping like so:

This still shows the repos and the versions (nothing cut wouldn't be able to handle though). It works fine with pacman as you just saw, I can't guarantee for yaourt as I don't have it installed.
Edit: Hm… I just realized that this still displays the results where 'test' only occured in the package description. Give me some time to figure this out.
Edit 2: Another grep for 'test' would solve it:
$ pacman -Ss test | grep -v '^ ' | grep test
extra/memtest86+ 4.00-1
extra/perl-test-pod 1.41-1
extra/testdisk 6.11.3-2
community/cxxtest 3.10.1-3

community/perl-test-warn 0.21-2
community/phoronix-test-suite 2.4.0-1
arch-games/ultimatestunts 0.7.5.1-1
Still, it's not that pretty to write the same thing twice. If you really want to do it like this, I suggest you make it a function in your ~/.${SHELL}rc.

How can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser

In CVI 2012, the toolbar changes depending on the environment, e.g. it is different for the source window and the UI editor. The toolbar can be customized using the menu Options / Toolbar...
Unfortunately, when using the attribute browser of the UI editor, another toolbar is displayed, i.e. not the UI editor toolbar.... I would have assumed that the attribute browser belongs to the UI editor, obviously it doesn't... So how can I customize the toolbar when using the attribute browser?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Luis,
It's nice to have you back
Thank you for the clarification, so I'll elaborate a bit more: In the regular workspace toolbar, I have a disk symbol to save the file. This symbol is gone in the attribute browser...
So I have three different toolbars, for source code (workspace), UI editor, and the UI editor displayed but the attribute browser clicked on (selected)...
Thanks
Wolfgang

How can we get ADFSecurity work when used in OC4J, OID and OAM?

I am getting error in http server log "mod_oc4j: Response status=499 and reason=Oracle SSO, but failed to get mod_osso global context."
But I am not using Oracle SSO and my client doesn't want to use it either, I am using OAM SSO(CoreIDSSO) in my configuration. Please read the details below.
I am using ADFSecurity in an app that is protected by OAM. To migrate ADFSecurity permissions from
system-jazn-data.xml to OID, I used JAZNMigrationTool to populate OID with Grantees and Permissions. OAM gives login page, and authentication works fine.
But ADFSecurity is not working. ADFComponent Delete button is enabled even for roles that dont have permissions for the iterator delete.
- The app works fine when I use without OAM. ADF Security permissions work fine.
- The app works fine when used with OAM, but with ADFSecurity disabled (enforce=false).
- When I enforce ADFSecurity alongwith OAM, ADFSecurity is not working.
In the doc "Oracle Containers for J2EE Security Guide b28957", there is a mention of use of CoreIDPrincipal for permissions. Our OID Permissions entries show
LDAPRealmRole for attribute orcljaznprincipal. I am not sure if this could be the reason.
We have configured AccessServerSDK for the SOA instance and have policy for the urls in the policy manager. We have entries in orion-application.xml, orion-web.xml and system-jazn-data.xml as per the documentations.
How can we get ADFSecurity work when used with OID and OAM?

Have you been able to successfully integrate OAS with OAM & OID? We have similar requriement and so far we have not been able to get it working.
We have application specific roles which we map to OID roles using orion-application.xml.
Any pointers to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Dipal

How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one?

Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.
This is the biggest question, where I mainly want a conclusive answer: How do I manage Lightroom photos when using 2 computers, keeping all edits made on either one of them, using the same photos for editing. I won't use DNG. Details: I mainly use my older MacBook Pro, but would like to be able to use my PC as it's way better (Specs: i5 2500K, 16GB RAM, SSD, USB3, nVidia GTX 560 TI etc.). I have 2 external HDs that I could use, one for Backup and one for the actual Photos/Edits. I'll probably need to use it as my internal HDs are quite full, and I can't just delete stuff or move it to an (Developer programs, Lossless music, etc.).
Based on this, how do I back up the whole thing e.g. Photos folder (all photos and edits, and preferably presets too)?

I believe it should be possible to work cross-platform without having to relink files each time, or without having to keep exporting/importing the catalog, by keeping the single catalog and the image library on the one external drive which is then switched between systems as needed.
Obvious first requirement is an external drive that is formatted in such a way (e.g FAT32) that it can be used on both platforms in read/write mode. Given that, if the catalog AND the images parent folder are both established at the same level in one overall parent folder, then it should be possible to take advatage of Lightroom's ability to use relative paths rather than absolute paths to detect the images, no matter if the drive is named (Mac) or lettered (PC). This is how "export as Catalog" works, i.e. it creates a "package", aka a parent folder, containing the catalog and a replica of the exported images folder hierarchy alongside the catalog. Take that "package" to another system (same OS or not) and "it just works" even if the drive letter is different or the OS is different....because the relative path from catalog to images is still the same.
I haven't tested this cross-platform (though I have between different PC systems with different drive letters) so for me it's still just a theory, but there may be others who have done this successfully.

How do I close a JInternalFrame when using subclasses and a separate cla...

The heading should be: How do I close a JInternalFrame when using subclasses and a separate class for the actionListener?
I have just created a JInternalFrame appclication and now I want to structure up my code. I have a Superclass that contains the usual settings for the two JInternalFrame:s, and the two subclasses with frame specific information. Both the JInternalFrames use the same OK button. I want to have the actionListener outside the classes to avoid repetition of code. But the dispose()-function does not work properly, it does not close the opened JInternalFrame. What�s wrong?
class Superclass extends JFrame
     JButton b= new JButton("ok");
     Superclass()
class Subclass1 extends Superclass
     Subclass1 ()
          add(ok);
       ok.addActionListener(new Listener());
class Subclass2 extends Superclass
     Subclass2 ()
          add(ok);
       ok.addActionListener(new Listener());
class Listener extends Superclass implements ActionListener
     public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
               dispose();
}How do I controll in the Listener class that the button in Subclass1 is beeing pressed?

First of all I think I misunderstood your question. You said you had two internal frames, so I thought you wanted to close the internal frame.
It now looks to me like you want to close the entire JFrame, which makes the code even a little easier. Something like:
JComponent component = (JComponent)event.getSource();
JFrame frame = (JFrame)SwingUtilities.windowForComponent( component );
frame.dispose();
Ok, I will make a try:
public static Container getAncestorOfClass(Class c, Component comp)
w.getAncestorOfClass(w, this); Fiirst you need to learn the basics of reading the API.
"getAncestorOfClass()" is a static method. That means you don't use a variable to invoke the method. You use the class itself.
"w" is a variable, which is a JFrame, but that is not what the first parameter should be. The first parameter is a "Class".
"this" will refer to your Listener class, but you need the Component that generated the ActionEvent.
When I thought you wanted to close an internal frame then the code would have been something like:
JComponent component = (JComponent)event.getSource();
Container container = SwingUtilities.getAncesterOfClass( JInternalFrame.class, component );
JInternalFrame internalFrame = (JInternalFrame)container;
internalFrame.invokeSomeMethodHere();If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program (SSCCE)", that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour.

Colour profile change when logging in

Hi,
For some reason, the other day, after i ran the app 'sleep display', the contrast or saturation of the colours changed on the screen just as the screen was about to turn off, and when i moved the mouse to turn the monitor back on, the colours looked really wierd.
Now, every time i log in, the colour profile is loaded, and to sort it out, i need to hook up my external monitor to it, and then when i remove the external monitor, the colours are fine. when i log into another account, no other colour profile is loaded, so the colours are fine.
Does anybody know how i can remove this colour profile from starting up when i log in?
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I did try that, and it did fix an error, but it didn't solve it.
I had a brainwave, and checked 'universal access' and for some reason, the enhance contrast had been enabled some how.

How can i insert profile lense when i import photo?

I love profile lense becaus i can fix default lens poblem (VIgnetting, AC and distorsion) wihout problem.
Now i want set profile lense when i import my photos automatically so i can avoid to select them and fix after import.
Can i do this?

you can defined alias as
SID1='source /<whatever>/.sid1'
SID2='source /<whatever>/.sid2'
in files .sid1 .sid2 you can set all you need, NLS_LANG, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID ...
Then you only need to type SID1 in your command line to set all variables.

Colour balance changes when using 3D graphics

Just what the title says. When I start a 3D game or application, the overall colour cast of the screen gains a distinct cool, blue tint. Shut the app off and it's back to normal. Why does the colour profile change? Is there, at least, a way to make the "3D" profile match my regular one which I've already calibrated correctly?

How to bypass material rounding rules when using 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'?

How to bypass rounding rules when create a PO using 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'?
I faced a problem when using the BAPI to create PO. As the material has rounding rule, thus, when I create the PO using this BAPI, the quantity will be rounded according to the rule.
How can I bypass the rounding rule so that I can upload the quantity according to the quantity that specify in my upload file?
Edited by: Irene Sam on Jun 17, 2008 1:08 PM

I've solved the problem with passing the parameter no_rounding into the BAPI.
poitem-no_rounding = 'X'.
poitemx-no_rounding = 'X'.
      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'
        EXPORTING
          poheader         = poheader
          poheaderx        = poheaderx

How to skip authorisation for infotype when using dynamic selection ?

Hi folks,
I have a problem here.
When im using dynamic selection screen, i cannot skip authorisation for subtypes of an infotype. Eg. if my record for 0185 have records that do not have authorisation for the subtypes. Dynamic selection will filter away this record and will not get me into the Get Peras as id i use to run has authorisation configured. IT will skip out of Get Peras.
However, if im not using dynamic selection screen, i will use the normal pnpce fields, i will be able to get the record, as i do my authorisation check using function module in the get peras, and i did not declare 0185 in the infotypes.
May i know if there is any solution to this problem as dynamic selection screen is a standard...
Thanks,
lihui

hi,
however i cannot skip authorisation for the whole pernr as i need the authorisations for the processing reports.
Currently the case is like this..
i have a authorisations for infotype 0185. i have 2 subtypes records such as ZA and ZB. the user does not have authorisation to read ZB but has authorisation to read ZA.
However, when use dynamic selection, it will skip out the pernr.
If the pernr 0185 records has only ZA subtype but no ZB subtype, it will not skip this pernr when using dynamic selection.
Anymore idea how to overcome this?
