I don't know of a native way to do this in xfce... though admittedly it has been a while since I have used any DE. I typically use a pretty consistent brightness level though, so I just made a udev rule that waits for proper /sys path to show up and then sets the appropriate value. Here is what I have (though it is probably not going to be exactly the same):
ACTION=="add", KERNEL=="acpi_video0", SUBSYSTEM=="backlight", DRIVERS=="i915", ATTR{brightness}="4"
On the udev wiki page, there is a link in there to getting started using udev rules. It is somewhat old, but everything about it still applies (since it is just the basics) with one exception. The command is now udevadm.
As an alternative, you can use Xyne's relight. I have not tried this myself, but it basically just writes the value of your brightness on shutdown and reapplies it the next boot. I would imagine that this could probably be done with a couple quick and easy systemd.service files as well. I think you could just model them somewhat after alsa-store.service and alsa-restore.service in terms of Wants, After's, Before's, etc.
Thanks! But it seems a systemd's bug like 65kid said, I would rather wait for it's fix

[Solved] How to save a file in /usr/bin/local using gedit as an admin?

In my attempt to run these two programs:
https://github.com/kerchen/export_gr2evernote
https://github.com/spiermar/bookmarks2evernote
I noticed they assumed the default python is python 2. I have python 3.3.1 and 2.6.8. I'm following the instructions at: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Py … ld_scripts
Created a file with this:
#!/bin/bash
script=`readlink -f -- "$1"`
case "$script" in
/home/Dropbox/export_gr2evernote-master1/*|/home/Dropbox/bookmarks2evernote2/*)
exec python2 "$@"
esac
exec python3 "$@"
I then, tried to save it as p2 under /usr/local/bin/ where the only thing that's there is meteor, node, and npm, and it throws me an error saying I don't have enough permissions.
How do I save p2 as an admin in /usr/bin/local using gedit?
I've searched on the forums 'create a file in /usr/' and I haven't found anything. Can someone please help me?

I did everything exactly like the wiki said, what seems to be the problem?
OK. Looking at the 2 scripts you quoted, neither one is using a shbang line to set a python version to call. Without that, the python intercept doesn't even come into play. The problem that I see is the way you are starting it:
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/python
Is root really necessary for these if they are in your /home/<user>/Dropbox/ directory. And it appears that you are assuming python3 when you start them that way. If you are going to use that method and they are indeed python2 scripts, then change your command to this:
#python evernote2enex.py -m 10
You might try it as your normal user too in case root isn't really required.
I tested out the first ten with:
#python2 export2enex.py -m 10
it worked!
then proceded with
#python2 export2enex.py GStarred -n exported.enex
The script is fully functional. Thanks man!
Actually, you're not even using the script when starting your python scripts that way. You are explicitly calling either python3 (python) or python2 (python2) to run the indicated python script and not even touching the work around /usr/local/bin/python script. If your python script started with a line like either :
#!/usr/bin/env python
or:
#!/usr/bin/python
And was executable, such that you called it by it's name, i.e. "someprogram.py", then the python script in /usr/local/bin/ would take precedence and effectively intercept the python call and choose the appropriate version of python as long as the path to the directory where "someprogram.py" resides is specified in that /usr/local/bin/python script.

[SOLVED]How to add OAL driver level functionality in the AM335x BSP source code???

Dear developers,
Greetings!!!
As, my platform is WinCE 7 with AM335x BSP and I would like to copy one driver and update the driver as per my requirements. The location from where I have taken the existing driver is -
BSP\SRC\CSP\COMMON_TI_AMXX\OAL --
Existing diver is OALRTC and new driver is abc_I2C under the same location and I have tailored the driver according to my requirements.
One funciton is OALIoCtlHalInitRTC and the call is made from BSP\SRC\OAL\oallib\ioctl.c and the calling funciton is BSPIoCtlHalInitRegistry
In my case, I am calling my OAL API as OALIoCtlHalInitPHY..

How can one monitor the level of usage of Fact Sheet in SAP CRM?

I am trying to understand how often users are actually using the Fact Sheet utility in our CRM instance. Anyone know a way to gather this statistic? Thanks

Hello
To my knowledge, CRM does not store any statistics. Some telephony software (BCM, Genesys, etc.) provide such statistics. Even I think that BI has a "reporting agent" report.

Light levels for editing

When editing photos, especially the exposure, at what level should I set the computer monitor brightness to approximate the print values of the photo? I don't want to confuse the light levels of the printed photo by having the monitor value too high. And I don't want to find out when I buy a photo book that I have all the wrong values.
Thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It doesn't matter. The monitor light level affects all of the pixels in the photo whereas adjusting the exposure in iPhoto will change the levels as they relate to the other parts of the photo.
If you increase the level in the monitor the white part of the photo will not wash out as it will do if you increase the exposure within iPhoto.
I just adjust the monitor to a level that's comfortable to my eyes for the viewing conditions.

How to get script to save up one level

Here is my basic script so far:
if (activeDocument.width > activeDocument.height)
doAction("WalletName H_Right","X-Key Logos.atn");
else if (activeDocument.width < activeDocument.height)
doAction("WalletName V_Right","X-Key Logos.atn");
I want a script that will save my current edited Photoshop CS3 open document image (stored in a folder called Client/jpg) and save it into a Client/edit folder. In other words I want it to go up one level from the jpg folder to the Client folder then save into the "edit" folder that is in the Client folder.
I want it to save as Jpeg, Level 8.
In another script I use this to save the file as jpg level 12 into the same folder and append to the name:
var CurrentFolder = activeDocument.path;
saveFile = new File(CurrentFolder + "/" + imgName + "_" + "wal")
   saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
   saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
   saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
   saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
   saveOptions.quality = 12; //ranges from 0 to 12
   AD.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
But in this case I just want it to save with same name jpg but level 8 in a differnt folder. The Client/jpg folder will be different everytime. "Client" refers to the client's name so that folder is not always in the same location. So what snippet of code can be placed into the saveFile area to say go up one folder and save to "edit" folder with the open document's current name.

Ok I am not sure where to put it. This is what I got so far now:
//Determint wether document is Horizontal or Vertical and run that action
if (activeDocument.width > activeDocument.height)
doAction("DigiPhoto H","X-Key Actions.atn");
else if (activeDocument.width < activeDocument.height)
doAction("DigiPhoto V","X-Key Actions.atn");
// Write file up one level into "digipics".
var CurrentFolder = activeDocument.path;
var parentFolder = decodeURI(activeDocument.path.parent);
$.writeln(parentFolder);
saveFile = new File(parentFolder/digipics, imgName)
   saveOptions = new JPEGSaveOptions();
   saveOptions.embedColorProfile = true;
   saveOptions.formatOptions = FormatOptions.STANDARDBASELINE;
   saveOptions.matte = MatteType.NONE;
   saveOptions.quality = 8; //ranges from 0 to 12
   AD.saveAs(saveFile, saveOptions, true,Extension.LOWERCASE);
It does the first actions and saves but prompts for where and what size. What exactly does this need to look like so that it saves level 8, jpg without prompting and saves to the up one level folder as discussed earlier.
I have searched and can't find anything.

How to save battery life (ipad mini)

When I'm away from home and I don't have my charger. What are some ways that will save my battery life? I know the basics like screen brightness and double tapping the home button to delete history. Are there more ways I can save lots of battery life?

See some of the links below.
Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night. Also look at The iPad's charging challenge explained http://www.macworld.com/article/1150356/ipadcharging.html

Qosmio G40 - How do I monitor sound input?

I have installed Adobe Audition on my Qosmio G40 but have been unable to monitor sound input or get Auditon to record. (It used to work fine on my xp pc) I have been able to record sound but cannot listen to it as its 'going in'. I also tried to install an external sound card: CREATIVE EXTIGY but cannot get the laptop to recognise that it is installed.
Can EXTIGY work with my laptop?
How do I monitor sound input?
The installed sound card is Realtek
Advice welcome.
Sean.

I presume you mean the menu when you right-click the volume control icon on the desktop toolbar. It does list the input devices and when a mini jack input is connected the simulated led lights respond to the volume of the input. I can record from the line input but I cannot hear it as it is going in. In other words it records it silently but plays it back okay.
The device manager declares that the sound card is working without problems,
Somehow I want to be able to hear the input as it is being recorded and I have not been able to find out how yet. Some people have been telling me that it is a vista problem. Others say that its the laptop manufacturers who set up the laptop so that when recording line input the sound is disabled to prevent feedback from the external mic on the laptop.
Either way I am a bit astonished that I cannot resolve this problem and it is not a problem that has been mentioned before when you consider how many thousands of people are buying Toshiba laptops !!
A few days ago I emailed Realtek but have not held my breathe for a reply.
Its looking like I might have to uninstall vista and reinstall xp to solve this problem.

Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put in on Facebook? Thankyou

Please can someone tell me how to save a MP3 file from my email on my iPad so I can put it on Faceboo? I use hotmail and please tell me step by step as I am not a tech guru lol. Thankyou

Hi jscher200,
Thank you for your reply, sorry for the VERY late late response, but I have just figured out how to control this separate 'panel'. I find it really useful for monitoring Google Analytics in as it can just sit there running. It does have its limitations, as it's a limited size (you can't expand it to full screen view), so you can only ever see a vertical section of a website and need to scroll to look to the right or left, but I have the live view of people accessing my website running on there and if the numbers start racking up at any time, I can scroll to look and see what pages they are accessing, where they've been referred from, etc.
To get it to work, you save a website address in the Bookmarks Toolbar and when you can see it sitting on the toolbar at the top of the screen with its little icon, right click on it then click 'properties', then tick the box 'Load this bookmark in the sidebar'. The next time you click on this bookmark to open the website, it will load in this sidebar, which looks like a separate 'window' but is immovable. You can only have one sidebar application running at a time, but can change it by right clicking on the bookmark you want to load in there and it will then change to that one next time you click on that bookmark.
I hope this might be useful to others, as I asked for help with this on loads of forums and not one person knew that this existed - even really skilled techies!

Hi,
Yes, you need store data to table, and fetch it when page is opened.
Simple way is create table with few columns and e.g. with CLOB column and then create form based on that table.
Then modify item types as you like, e.g. use HTML editor for CLOB column
