[Solved] How to Install i3 with xorg

HI guys,
I am trying to figure out if it is possible to install i3 having only xorg installed.
I followed the installation guide for arch-linux and I installed X-org
pacman -S xorg-server xorg-server-utils xorg-xinit
I have installed and configured i3 as explained here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/i3
Despite my efforts I am not able to make it run. Could you please explain me:
1) what are the minimum requirements to run i3 in terms of desktop environment?
2) have I missed something in the installation process?
Thank you for your help!

Hi Karol,
thanks for the fast reply! I kept trying and at the end I was able to start i3 by running
xinit i3
It turned out that was failing to execute i3 because i set ~/.xinitrc in the following way:
exec i3 -V >> ~/.i3/i3log 2>&1
and since i3 was never run before there was no ~/.i3 directory. During the first execution of i3 it asks for the creation of such directory, thus after the 1st execution it is possible to write the full command line in /.xinitrc, but if you do that before, you have to create the directory first.
BTW now I am running i3 with XORG alone, it' s ugly but I am going to work on it.
Thanks for the help though, I hope this post will help someone else

[SOLVED]How to install packages with the -U option? PGP error.

I have to downgrade some packages (linux package due to ath5k problem), but pacman won't allow me because of the signatures.
I downloaded the packages i need from here http://schlunix.org/archlinux/.
These packages are safe to install? How can i bypass the signature check, if these packages are safe to install?
Thanks.

If you have a pgp key, you can sign the packages with your own key. You can do this by editing /etc/makepkg.conf, adding your key to the GPGKEY="" section and enabling the sign option in the BUILDENV section. When building the package, it'll then be signed with your personal key. Afterwards import your key in pacman (pacman-key -r <yourkey>), assign the proper trust level and you're good to go.
A workaround is to temporarily set "SigLevel = Never" in your /etc/pacman.conf (and hence disabling keysigning).
EDIT: I just bothered to actually check your link and you'll be installing prebuilt binaries, so my first explanation doesn't apply there (you won't be building anything). So just setting SigLevel to Optional or Never (temporarily) should do.

[SOLVED] How to install nvidia 285.05.09-3 drivers

Hi All,
Currently I have installed xf86-video-nouveau 0.0.16_git20110829-1 drivers in my Arch Linux but I would like to install nvidia 285.05.09-3 in kernel 3.1.1-1-ARCH.
Each time I have tried to install nvidia drivers I have had a lot of problems: the worst is that once installed I reboot system and X does not start, screen goes black, etc so I am afraid to install it because then I have a lot of problems to goes back nouveau and to get X starts again.
So could anyone say me step by step how to install it with success and that once I reboot my system you ensure me X starts?
And a step by step guide in case X does not starts and I need to come back nouveau again and start X normaly without problems.
Thx.

Did you install the nvidia 285 drivers from the repos? Have you tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nv … au_drivers ?
Can you post some logs when the nvidia drivers are failing? What card do you have?
Hi Karol,
I have just installed nvidia 285 from repos taking into account the link you provided. I follow the steps mentioned in the script to change from nouveau to nvidia and it went Ok. Now I have installed nvidia drivers from repos and at boot-up, X starts correctly (SOLVED).
I think when I installed nvidia in the past one thing was missed: (I did not do this)
/usr/bin/sudo /sbin/mkinitcpio -p linux
....Maybe that was the problem.
My graphic card is Nvidia Go7600.
Thx again

[SOLVED] How to install and run (on debian) a separate, downlevel version of firefox for the F5/firepass VPN?

(Note: my problem is similar to [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/931534?e=es&as=aaq another current problem] except that
* OP is running windows (I'm running a debian linux)
* OP is asking a more general question (how to fix?) while I'm asking for details on a proposed fix)
I'm currently running
$ lsb_release -ds
Linux Mint Debian Edition
$ cat /etc/debian_version
wheezy/sid
$ uname -rv
3.2.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Mar 4 22:48:17 UTC 2012
$ iceweasel --version
Mozilla Iceweasel 13.0.1
I'd like to continue running an uplevel iceweasel ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Corporation_software_rebranded_by_the_Debian_project which is firefox]) but apparently need to run a downlevel version in order to run a particular vendor-supplied plugin. How best to do that (i.e., with minimal performance degradation, and without affecting my package management)? Or is there another way to solve the general problem (running the F5 Network Access Plugin)? Why I ask:
My employer is giving me remote access via a SecurID token and the F5 Network Access Plugin (F5NAP). The latter is in fact a browser plugin, which seems to me an odd way to implement a VPN, but it's the only offered option. Unfortunately,
* the only browsers supported for linux are Firefox 3 and Firefox 8 (per [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html this]--scroll to "Linux Operating Systems")
* my primary laptop runs LMDE (see above) with Iceweasel 13 (from the mozilla.debian.net repository), which I want to keep. (It's the uplevel browser, dammit !-)
So I first tried to install the F5NAP on my iceweasel, hoping it was sufficiently like the listed versions. I browsed to my employer's site, logged in using the token, and followed the link to install the plugin. Unfortunately, that failed: the xpi began running, but then quit with the message
> F5 Network Access Plugin could not be installed because it is not compatible with Iceweasel 13.0.1
Hoping for a simple workaround, I told the often-useful User Agent Switcher plugin to emulate Firefox 8, but no fix. Hence it seems like I will hafta
* install Firefox 3 or Firefox 8
* run that downlevel browser whenever I want remote access
* run the uplevel browser for everything else
This definitely seems like a kludge, so I am open to alternatives. Meanwhile I'm wondering:
# Which of the F5-supported downlevel browsers (Firefox 3 or Firefox 8) has the smaller memory footprint?
# How to install the downlevel browser so that it does not interfere with my uplevel browser's configuration, operation, and updating via debian package management?
# How to run the downlevel browser so that its operation does not interfere with my uplevel browser? I know firefox typically wants to run singleton.

@[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/user/160087 verdi]: thanks for your helpful suggestions. The "fix" (actually a kludge, but I gotta work with what F5 and my employer give me) was:
# Install/run latest Firefox 3 (despite there being [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932269 no 64-bit version for linux]) using [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKbmJDUGZqTzhfbDg this bash scriptlet].
# Create a [https://docs.google.com/open?id=0BzDAFHgIxRzKQjRyQndqUTJpRXM run script] to start firefox so that one can
#* choose the appropriate profile (I was unable to set it from the script without startup error)
#* run multiple instances (I don't want 3.x firefox touching my uplevel profile)
# Run Firefox 3.x with the runner, then point it to my employer's site to install the [http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-ip_apm/manuals/product/apm_compatibility_matrix_10_2_1.html F5 Network Access Plugin] (restarting firefox as required).
The gnome-terminal tab from which I invoke the runner spews a bazillion "wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64" errors, but the plugin runs, and I can SSH normally (though more slowly) to servers on the VLAN from another terminal tab.

Installing emacs with xorg

Hello,
I just installed arch last night and managed to get my network up and running in less than 20 minutes! So far, I am loving it! The problem I have is: how do I go about installing emacs with x.org server? When I try installing emacs it requires xaw3d which by itself asks for xfree86 which apparently conflicts with xorg.
In general, how to install packages and 'ignore' certain dependancies? I realize the popular opinion is that it's bad, but, for example, I know I don't need xorg to run just plain console emacs.
I'm coming from the world of Slackware and I'm sort of used to no-dependancy-checking so...
A very nice forum BTW,

good luck

How to install PDF with XDB on APEX 4.2.2

Hi,
does anyone know a "how to install PDF Output" using XDB instead of Apache or APEX Listener on APEX 4.2.2 Please give me the link.
I tried to install APEX Listener but I always got errors so I came back to XDB. If there is an easy way to install the Listener please send me the link.
Thank you and best regards
Siegwin

i wrote an article about installing listener but then the latest version of listener at time was 1.x . check the following
Vishal's blog: Installing SSL enabled APEX 4.1 with development environment and APEX Listener on Weblogic and standalone
listener now is at 2.x and a few steps such as configuration of properties have changed. you no longer have to create users such as adminlistener and the listenerAdmin page isnt there anymore.
read the above and tell me the exact problem you have and i might help you better.
read Contents . this is oracle's documentation for listener configuration. this is good. let me know if you need some help in understanding some step in this
once listener is configured, configuring it for pdf download is very easy.
let me know if this answers your query in the current thread

[Solved] How to install yajl 2.0 and reinstall yaourt?

I had yaourt with yajl 1.0, but somehow got deleted. My fault.
I had used yaourt, even if it asked for yajl>=2.0 and installed packages from AUR.
Now I cannot install yaourt, as it asks for yajl>=2.0
I can only install yajl 1.0.11-3, as pacman/kpackagekit won't find yajl 2.0.1-0, so I downloaded the tar.gz file, but don't know how to install it.
This is the zip file; lloyd-yajl-2.0.1-0-gf4b2b1a.tar.gz and its in the Home directory.
What should I do to install this, so I can install yaourt again?
Thanks!

There is no PKBUILD.
Once extracted, went into the directory

$ ./configure && make install
finally,

AS10GR1(INF+BI) + AS10GR3 - how to install - probelm with deploying appl..

Hello :)
I've got following configuration:
MS W2003srv 2xXeon3.2GHz + 2GB RAM
iAS10GR1(9.0.4) - Infrstructure
and on the same machine
iAS10GR1(9.0.4) - BI (Reports and Discoverer)
Now I need to install iAS10GR3 (10.1.3) - because of Java 1.4.
How to do it in the fastest way and assume that I can't reinstall iAS10GR1.
When I install option with http server, opmn etc ...
I've tested single installation of iAS10GR3 and I can deploy and test my WebServices. When I install Release 3 on the same machine with Release1 everything is ok - I can deploy webservices but I can't test them.
I can prepare mesg to test via web page and in the invoking moment theres no action.
In apache log of R3 there's
10.10.1.18 - - [16/May/2006:17:18:51 +0200] "POST /WebServices/SRV_PLANY_ZAMOWIEN_STATUSSoapHttpPort HTTP/1.1" 500 5
What could suggests that there is a problem with apache configuration (in fact thera 3 instances of apaches)
However when I checked status of ports in every apache instance
opmn\bin\opmnctl status -l
I didn't notice that there's any ports conflicts - installer prepared ports quite pretty that they should coexists.
Any suggestions?
greets
Pepin

Hello :)
First, I noticed that I posted a mesg at Portal forum .. if a moderator would by nice - move this topic to proper forum, please.
And I configured succesfully ... however I made two things and I have to test it
one more time - I installed a patchset2 to iAS10GR1 to version 9.0.4.2
and I deinstall iAS10GR3 and choose an instaling option without http server.
Now I can deploy and test webservices and every previous functionality (reports and discoverer) works fine ...

How to install SEC with OCMS version 10.1.3.4

It is said that when install, select customer install and select SCE in install guide of OCMS, but actually when in install l progress, only allow to select component ,such as presence, proxy registrar. No entry for selecting SCE.
How to install SCE and test example projects in SCE?
Thanks

Hi,
Firstly the SUBJECT of your question reads SEC in place of SCE and it is a CUSTOM install not a CUSTOMER Install.
Coming to answer your question, if you find the latest install guide, you wont see the SCE pre and post install etc in it. SCE has been taken off OCMS. OCCAS (Oracle Communications Converged Application Server) will be the Execution platform of SIP from now on. OCMS Applications too would be merged into OCCAS.
Hope this answers your question.
