Could you elaborate a little? I don't have KDE installed anymore, but (IIRC) you set the background either through a right click menu that pops up when you click on the desktop, or through the Systems Setting window. The wallpapers should show up in a dialog, along with an option to add a background from a jpg file.
So, what does nothing mean? Are the wallpapers not showing up in the appearance dialog? Can you select them, but they don't work, or is the dialog 404? Or something else?

How to get the background of a cell when clicked

Hi all,
I need to know how I can get the background color of each cell when mouse clicked, I need that because I have to send that color to another table show the whole table with the same background.
Any ideas?
For the source table cell I am using this renderer:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
public class ColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
    public ColorRenderer() {
        setOpaque(true);
    @Override
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        if (value != null) {
            setText(value.toString());
        if (isSelected) {
            setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
            setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
        } else {
            setBackground(new Color(181, 198, 223));
            setForeground(Color.black);
            boolean theSame = true;
            for (int i = 1; i <= row; i++) {
                if (!table.getValueAt(i, 0).toString().equals(table.getValueAt(i - 1, 0).toString())) {
                    theSame = !theSame;
                    break;
            if (!theSame) {
                setBackground(new Color(239, 206, 179));
        return this;
}

how I can get the background color of a cell when mouse clickedAttach a mouseListener to your table. In that listener find the clicked cell through myTable.rowAtPoint(MouseEvent.getPoint()) dto. with column.
Then myTable.getCellRenderer(int row, int column), and in the renderer you look for the colour.

[SOLVED]How to get a kicker panel like this?

I want my Arch/Chakra KDE to have a transparent kicker panel like http://pclinuxos.com/wp-content/uploads … minime.png I tried various permutation and combinations of existing themes i.e Air, Air Netbooks, Oxygen. Tried few themes like Glaze etc but none of them work. I don't want a complete transparent panel like in Bare Naked Theme(which does not work/come in KDE 4.4.2 BTW) but like shown in the above image with slight white hue but not more. Perfect as in the image. Does anyone know how to get it?

[SOLVED]How to get colorful output when pipe yaourt's STDIO to less?

Hello, second post to NC.
My question is how to get a piped(e.g. pipe yaourt's STDOUT to less) program's colorful output on screen without such option like '--color=always'.
Before post this, I've configured less's default behaviour in "~/.zshrc" with following
less() {
env LESS=R less "$@"
And When I run:
$ dmesg --color=always | less
Everything works fine(I get good, colorful output), but when I run this:
$ yaourt -Qe --date | less
Seems that I can only get grey output on terminal emulator (without 'less' I get colorful output).
Does anyone has idea about getting yaourt's colorful output with 'less' ?
Last edited by izmntuk (2014-06-08 00:15:15)

Thanks for reply and after serveral mintues googling & getting some help from IRC:
It seems that there're some utilities that do not provide such a option like 'color=always', what we need to do is trick these utilities into thinking their's STDIO is to a tty, not a pipe.
1. stdoutisatty way (aur/stdoutisatty-git is needed) from [0]:
$ stdoutisatty yaourt -Qe --date | less
2. socat way (extra/socat is needed, sometimes doesn't work fine) from [1]:
$ socat EXEC:"yaourt -Qe --date",pty STDIO | less
3. script way (sometimes doesn't work fine) from [2]:
$ script -fqc 'yaourt -Qe --date' | less
4. unbuffer way (extra/expect is needed) from [3]:
$ unbuffer yaourt -Qe --date | less
5. zpty way (extra/zsh is needed) slightly modified from [4]:
zmodload zsh/zpty
autoload colors && colors
pty() {
local VERSION=0.2
if [[ -t 0 && $# -ne 0 && ${1} != '--help' ]];then
zpty pty-${UID} ${1+"$@"}
## when piping function pty to a pager, it may be a good idea to disable ^C *in this function*. assume that you're going to run this command: pty ls -alRi --color | less
## and now you enter a pager, and you press the End key by accident, and the pager seems stuck, and to get unstuck you pressed ^C, then the entire function interrupted. so to avoid the interrupt:
if [[ ! -t 1 ]];then
setopt local_traps
trap '' INT
zpty -r pty-${UID}
else
zpty -r pty-${UID}
fi
zpty -d pty-${UID}

[SOLVED] How to get BASH scripts to recognize mounted partition paths?

I don't understand how to get the bash script in the root partition to find the boot partition--both mounted at /mnt.
I'm following the instructions on configuring "dm-crypt with LUKS" tutorial. The mkinitcpio command to generate the "initial ram disk environment" is producing an error while the system is booted from the install disk and the volumes it looks for are mounted at /mnt.
#mkinitcpio -p linux
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux/preset: 'default'
-> -k /boot/vmlinuz-linux -c /etc/mkinitcpio.conf -g /boot/initramfs-linux.img

And read them carefully, there should be no /mnt/root/etc/.
There should be a /mnt/etc/ and a /mnt/boot and /mnt/root/ which is the root user's home directory, not the root filesystem (and of course /mnt/usr ...) - or if you decide to nest the whole thing deeper you could have /mnt/somename/etc and /mnt/somename/boot ...

[SOLVED] How to get NetworkManager start on background during boot?

NetworkManager has always taken relatively long time to start during boot, presumably waiting for wlan to connect.
$ systemd-analyze blame
7.682s NetworkManager.service
Previously I was able to get it to start on background by removing /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service
This prevented multi-user.target from waiting for NM to start and it would continue to connect on background while my boot finishes.
However, after upgrade to networkmanager-0.9.10.0-2 that doesn't seem work any more.
If I remove the .service file from multi-user.target.wants/, NetworkManager doesn't start during boot at all.
enabling NetworkManager.service creates these symlinks:
# systemctl enable NetworkManager
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/NetworkManager.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.
Created symlink from /etc/systemd/system/dbus-org.freedesktop.nm-dispatcher.service to /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager-dispatcher.service.
looks like enabling any other basic systemd unit links the .service file to multi-user.target.wants/ as well..
How can I enable NetworkManager.service during boot without multi-user.target.wants/, and get it to start on background again?
any ideas appreciated :)
Last edited by ooo (2014-08-03 12:13:28)

Okay, looks like this can be resolved by simply changing the NetworkManager.service type from dbus to forking.
$ systemd-analyze blame
173ms NetworkManager.service
Here's the modified service file if anyone's interested:
place it in /etc/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service
[Unit]
Description=Network Manager
Wants=network.target
Before=network.target
[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/var/run/NetworkManager.pid
BusName=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager
ExecStart=/usr/bin/NetworkManager --pid-file=/var/run/NetworkManager.pid
# NM doesn't want systemd to kill its children for it
KillMode=process
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Alias=dbus-org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.service
Also=NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
You need to disable NetworkManager.service before creating the file and enable it after so that systemd links the file from /etc/systemd instead of /usr/lib/systemd,
there may be simpler way but I can't be bothered to go through systemd manuals any more.
Note that this will probably break any systemd .service that actually requires network, although that was the case with my previous workaround as well.
I won't guarantee this will work for you and won't set your machine on fire. If you have issues, simply remove the file and re-enable to go back to default

How to get BI background jobs to utilize parallel processing

Each step in our BI process chains creates exactly 1 active batch job (SM37) with in turn utilizes only 1 background process (SM50).
How do we get the active BI batch job to use more than 1 background process similar to parallel processing (RZ20) in an ERP system?

Hi there,
Have you checked the number of background and parallel processes. Take a look in SAP Note 621400 - Number of required BTC processes for process chains. This may be helpful ...
Minimum (with this setting, the chain runs more or less serially):
Number of parallel SubChains at the widest part of the chains + 1.
Recommended:
Number of parallel processes at the widest part of the chain + 1.
Optimal:
Number of parallel processes at the widest part of the chain + number of
parallel SubChains at the widest part + 1.
The optimal settings just avoids a delay if several SubChains are
started in parallel at the same time. In case of such a Process Chain
implementation and using the recommended number of background processes
there can be a short delay at the start of each SubChain (depends on the
frequency of the background scheduler, in general ~1 minute only).
Attention: Note that a higher degree of parallel processing and
therefore more batch processes only make sense if the system has
sufficient hardware capacity.
I hope this helps or it may lead you to further checks to make .
Cheers,
Karen

[SOLVED] How to get sudo and kdesu to honor my user password?

Hi folks,
Well, I must be missing something. I think I've tried everything listed here https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=143487 and in the referenced links, but I still have the problem of my system rejecting my password for some uses of sudo and kdesu but not others. I've included my /etc/sudoers file below.
My problem may be due to screwing around with users: I started out using bruce (1000), then switched to bbraley (1001), then deleted bruce in kusers, then changed bbraley to 1000. When that created more problems without solving the original one, I switched back to 1001. I've played with adding and removing my user from groups, including creating a sudo group, making sure I am a member of wheel group, etc.
What seemed to be everyone's magic fix,
pacman -S pambase
didn't work when I tried it successfully with my bbraley password, then later, when that began failing, using the root password. pambase reinstalls, but there is no resulting change in the behavior of sudo.
Side question: Most of my experience is with kubuntu in which I never created a root user and never had any trouble having my user password work with sudo or kdesu. Is there a reason Archwiki beginners guide suggests assigning a separate root account and password?
Can anyone help?
Here's the output of

Trilby wrote:I've never used the targetpw setting, but I wouldn't be surprised if that was the problem. With that setting, if you want to run something as root (the default use of sudo) then you'd need the root password, not the user password. Comment out that setting, and the next line.
I had never used it, either, but I misread some reference and thought it might help. Since you say it causes the behaviour I'm trying to eliminate, I will get rid of it, as suggested. However, the behavior preceded my addition of this line in the file, so I don't think this will correct the problem. Edit: Removing it kept the root password from being universally required (I can now edit /etc/sudoers using my user password) and returned it to requiring it sometimes (I still need the root password to use kdesu).
As for some other distro not having a root account, that is simply impossible. There was a root account. If you didn't have the password for it, then that installation was severely crippled.
Sorry, you're right. I should have said that kubuntu does not expect users to assign a password to the root account and instead expects primary users to access that account's privileges via su, sudo, or kdesu only.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
By default, the root account password is locked in Ubuntu. This means that you cannot login as root directly or use the su command to become the root user. However, since the root account physically exists it is still possible to run programs with root-level privileges. This is where sudo comes in - it allows authorized users (normally "Administrative" users; for further information please refer to AddUsersHowto) to run certain programs as root without having to know the root password.
Thanks for responding to my request for help. Any other ideas?
Edit: Here's what I keep getting that only accepts the root password, not my user password

How to get Current Background Job name and Job Count programmically?

Hi all,
I have a requirement wherein I need to get the Current Background Job name and Job Count in the program and store it in a custom table. In other words, whenever I schedule a particular program ( This is a Std program) in background, I need to update this table with the Job Name and Job Count. This will be used by another program later to read the Job Information from table TBTCO. TBTCO has key fields Job Name and Job ID. The sheduled program will be a SAP standard program and I'll be writing the logic to get the info in an Implicit Enhancement Spot.
Is there anyway I can do this? Any FM to get this information?
Thanks,
Mahesh.

Hey Adrian,
Thanks a lot. This is what exactly i was looking for. Appreciate it.

[SOLVED] How to get Broadcom wireless to work (Arch install)?

I'm very newbie in network managment (and in Linux in general), and it's my first time installing Arch.
I came from Debian/Ubuntu. In Ubuntu 14.04 it was working already, and in Debian 7.8 I only had to install the package "brcmsmac" to get my wi-fi card to work.
But now I have no idea what I'm doing in Arch. I've already downloaded and installed the system using the auto DHCP connection, but after the chroot I got confused, now I'm stuck in configuring the network and wireless. I didn't even install a bootloader yet. (I'm using another computer to post this)
I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_guide and https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/broadcom_wireless, and Google'd about it but everything seems confusing.
I won't need anything special like a server, so I imagine the solution is very basic and newbie.
It's probably a very simple thing to do, like installing a package or loading something, and I don't want to mess up my system.
I heard about AUR but I don't know how to use it.

We need *a lot* more info than that. Could be something very simple, like the interface being up before starting wifi-menu (netctl doesn't like the interface being up, it'll only start correctly if the interface is down).
Or it could be something more. In which case, you'll need to start wpa_supplicant manually with debugging enabled:
wpa_supplicant -i wlp18s0b1 -c <(wpa_passphrase MYSSID passphrase) -d
Once this says you're connected, open another terminal and start dhcpcd. Or, if wpa_supplicant doesn't manage to connect, post the *entire* output.
Edit: Ok, you posted more info as I was writing my post. Will look through that, maybe it contains something useful. If not, follow the instructions above.
Edit2: Nope, nothing about wireless in there, except that the driver loaded.
It worked!!
I was looking into the logs and found an authentication failure...my password is very long so I made some mistakes while typing it.
So this is the solution all the way:
SOLUTION:
- No need to install or load any external drivers (all I used was already in the base installation)
- DISABLE THE HIDDEN NETWORK OPTION IN THE ROUTER (thanks for the heads-up @Gusar)
- run "# wifi-menu"
or
"# wpa_supplicant -i [interface] -c <(wpa_passphrase MYSSID passphrase) -d"
- run "# dhcpcd [interface]"
- Good to go!!
I'm sorry for the trouble guys, and like I imagined, it was really easy and now I see my newbiness hahaha ;D
Thanks.

[SOLVED] How to get ibus to work in xterm

Can anyone help me get ibus working in xterm? Ibus is working in all my other applications except xterm. In my pre-Arch days I had the same problem in Debian. In Debian I fixed the problem by editing /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/default so that it looked like this:
# This configuration provides default IM setting (user edittable)
# See im-switch(8) and /usr/share/doc/im-switch/README.Debian .
# Define IM for traditional X application with XIM
# XIM server name used for XMODIFIERS="@im=$XIM"
# XIM program /path/filename
# XIM program command line arguments
# These were traditional setting before uim and scim for CJK languages
# Language LC_CTYPE XIM server XMODIFIERS Start key
# Japanese ja_JP* kinput2 "@im=kinput2" Shift-Space
# Korean ko_KR* ami "@im=Ami" Shift-Space
# Chinese(T) zh_TW.Big5 xcin "@im=xcin-zh_TW.big5" Ctrl-Space
# Chinese(S) zh_CN.GB2312 xcin "@im=xcin-zh_CN.GB2312" Ctrl-Space
XIM=ibus
XIM_PROGRAM=/usr/bin/ibus-daemon
XIM_ARGS="--xim"
XIM_PROGRAM_XTRA=
# Set following variable to non-zero string if program set itself as deamon
XIM_PROGRAM_SETS_ITSELF_AS_DAEMON=
# Define GTK and QT IM module
# They may or may not be using xim as the IM.
GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
# Define lists of packages neded for above IM to function
DEPENDS="ibus, ibus-gtk, ibus-qt4"
# Define X start up hook script to update IM environment
However, Arch does not even have the /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d directory, so I am a little lost. I think I have all the relevant packages installed (ibus, ibus-m17n, ibus-qt, libibus, xorg-xinput).

Some more information:
1- The problem is not the font. The font I'm using in xterm supports the special characters.
2- The problem is that xterm ignores ibus completely. When I type "cx" I get the expected "ĉ" in all applications (e.g., firefox, mate-terminal) but xterm just gives me "cx"
3- I already have this in ~/.bashrc:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
4- I'm on a laptop, fully updated 64-bit Arch Linux, LightDM, and MATE.
I've googled ad nauseam and this is driving me nuts. Please help.

[SOLVED] Impossible to get BLACK background in Mutt

I like to have white text on black background in my terminals, but Mutt insists on turning grey instead of black and I can't figure out why this happens.
The color setting for Mutt is:
color normal white black
This works perfectly in KDE and XFCE, but not in Gnome. I've tried both gnome-terminal and rxvt-unicode but with the same result: White text on black background works nicely until Mutt is started and turns the background grey. Makes it hard to read the statusbars a.o
Nice if anyone can help.

Try the "default" setting, as in:
Code:
color normal default default
Replacing the instances of "black" in mutt settings with "default" sorted things out.
Thanks
