[solved] In the process of rebuilding firefox with abs
After I run
$ makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
I open up PKGBUILD with nano to edit in the values given on the firefox archwiki page. However, the only thing in PKGBUILD is
md5sums=()
which doesn't really allow me to continue what I was doing. Anyone have an idea what's causing this problem?

I'd also like to point out four you future reference that
makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
and
makepkg -g > PKGBUILD
do very different things. ">>" appends to a file, while ">" overwrites a file. I think that is what karol was trying to point out, that you might have accidentaly done just ">". Glad it's resolved

I have an old MacBook Pro, which just upgraded to OS X 10.10.3...in the process iPhoto disappeared, along with all my photos! I'm shocked, and have no idea what to do (I'm the furthest thing from tech). Did the photos go into iCloud? I have a photos icon now in the place of iPhoto, but no photos! Any suggestions or help?
Niel, thank you! Can't get iPhotos, but found my photos after clicking "photos" in the new app, after your suggestion. (option, click). Whew! I panicked, and appreciate your help. I'm going to miss my old iPhoto!

Printing Problem - the process "mdns" stopped unexpectedly with status 1
I have been trying to get my Epson Stylus rX620 to print wirelessly for a while. It actually worked once and printed two separate documents. Then however it decided not to work any longer and it seems that nothing I do changes it. The same error message appears each time in the print monitor:
the process "mdns" stopped unexpectedly with status 1
It has printed wirelessly with the same equipment. It is attached to an airport express that is linked to extend my wireless network from an Airport Extreme. It has no problem printing when the USB cable is plugged in directly. I have tried everthing that I can think of. Any ideas??Hi John,
Okay, that was some new information...
Given that the hub is causing the problem then I would concentrate on testing it. Try connecting the Mac and the printer directly to the hub. Ensure the IP addresses of each device (Mac and Printer) are set to the same subnet (if printing via TCP/IP) or if AppleTalk is being used, make sure it is enabled on both devices.
You may also have to create a new printer. When you had the printer connected to the USB port of the AEBS, it will have been configured as a local device but printing via a virtual USB port. When the printer was connected to the hub, it would have been configured as a network device.
If this works then at least you know that the hub and the network cables are okay. The next step would be to ensure the AEBS, the printer and the Mac are all set to use the same protocol.
If they are all correct then try deleting the printer from the Printer List, running the Reset Printing System function and adding the network printer again. If you are using TCP/IP, you could even try pinging the printer to ensure the path to the printer is open.
Regards,

Question: MacBooK won't print PDF files, after selecting print it states; The process "pstopdffilter" stopped unexpectedly with status 1. I am currently using a HP Deskjet 4400 series printer and it works fine with all our other lap top computers. Thanks for any help.
The pictwpstops filter on OS X machines, converts the job to straight Postscript before the normal CUPS filters get it.
If the Adobe APPs have a choice of what kind of PS to send, like Binary or ASCII, try toggling that setting to the opposite of what it is.
Though, if a reboot fixed it then likely the problem was a remporary bit flip, which may or may not happen again. -
Message on C8100: The process "usb" stopped unexpectedly with status 81. What should I do?
Our C8100 printer has worked well with our wireless setup for a few years. It is now not printing from any of our home computers (wireless is working fine on these Mac's). I've already turned off both computers and printer, waiting a few minutes and turned them back on.
Message on computer screen -- The process "usb" stopped unexpectedly with status 81. What does this mean?Yes it is a photosmart C6380 all in one
You are lucky. That model gives you an option not offered on cheaper printers.
You could abandon the USB connection completely and use ethernet to print. That model has, in addition to USB, an ethernet (or "network") port and wireless connectivity. Wireless can be flaky but ethernet is an amazing way to print--faster and more stable that using USB. The port should should be just above or below the USB port.
If your computer is already connected to the internet via ethernet, you can get an inexpensive ethernet router to create enough ports. The router goes between your modem and the computer gear. One router port is usually marked "WAN" and is where you connect an ethernet cable going from the modem. The router will have several other ports marked "LAN" that those connect yo you computer equipment.
You are basically splitting one ethernet line into several. If you have only the iMac and the HP printer, each one would connect to its own LAN port and you can print without USB issues. Normally setting up a wired router takes no software and no tweaking on your part. You connect the wires and it's running.
Here's a start on learning about home networking. In teh picture, what's labeled "gateway" is the router.

when I start firefox, then close it..and attempt to restart it, I get a message that its loaded....but its not...but I see it as a process in task manager.I end the process..then start firefox again...........constant problem...............windows 7 system...8gb ram g4bit
Hi Andis.
First of all, this is completely normal behavior, although it's a bit irritating, I know. What happens is that when you close Firefox, despite the window disappearing right there and then, Firefox keeps running for a little bit until the whole closing procedure is completed. This can take a fraction of a second on fast computers, or can take a few seconds on slow computers or when Firefox is storing a large session (if you save your tabs). All you have to do is wait a bit until Firefox closes, and then open it again.
To see if it's still running, you can press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC and then, under the Processes tab, you can see if firefox.exe is still there. If it's taking an unusual amount of time to close (which happens very rarely, and only if the browser freezes on exit), you can force the application to terminate from this application (task manager).
Firefox 4.0 will reduce by 97% the time it takes firefox.exe to close, so this problem will be basically erased for Firefox's next version.
Until then, I can recommend you this extension, which helps you restart your browser more easily and without bothering about closing times:

Hopefully this will help. -
Mail is killing the processes on my server with IMAP
Why is mail over running my server with IMAP processes?
I've had to start killing the process like crazy cause it was causing other services on my website to fail.
i contact support for Hostgator and they asked if i was using Mac Mail. i said yes, and he said, yeah mac mail does that. what's that suppose to mean?
it really hasn't happened in the past, why now?I have found a temporary fix, until Apple addresses the issue.
For those with access to the cPanel for their hosting account, you will need to create a Cron Job. At blueHOST.com I have access to this feature. I created a cron job via the cPanel to run every two minutes (because I have so many users running mail at the same time.) And the command is "killall imap" (without the quotes). This will do as advertised, kill all imap processes, old and new, every two minutes. You can set the amount of minutes to anything you want.
I can thank a senior tech at blueHOST for the idea. It may be strong-arming the situation, but it gives my client back their blog.
In my first post here, I said I sent this to MacFixIt. They never published or followed up on the eMail I sent. But I've also formally sent this as an issue via Apple Support. With any luck it will be fixed with the 10.5.7 update when it comes out.
If you have not made a formal report to Apple I strongly suggest you go to the Mac OS X Feedback page & file a detailed report of the issue you are having with IMAP processes & Mail.app. Reporting in the support forums may not be enough to get the full attention of Apple.
I will also post this on my blog. -
I open Firefox, use it, then close the window. Try to reopen Firefox and it fails with a message that a previous process is still running. Requires me to open Task Manager and kill the old process.
Try to wait a bit longer before reopening Firefox to give Firefox more time to close completely.<br />
Try to use "Firefox/File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit") to close Firefox if you are currently doing that by clicking the close X on the title bar.
See "Hang at exit":
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_hangs
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+hangs -
As I try to close, a dialog box suggests that Firefox is waiting for a response. This problem started happening when you added AOL to the install. I already use AOL and I assume there is some sort of conflict. I want a Firefox without AOL. That will likely solve my problem.
I think it is a problem with an AOL add-on.Could you try starting Firefox in its Safe Mode as a test, and also see whether it can be removed there?
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key when launching Firefox.
''If Firefox is running and you can access the menu:'' Either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
and give Firefox the OK to restart.
''Both Scenarios:'' A small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

[solved] Getting the mouse back to work with slim, openbox and tint2
Hey guys,
I did a fresh installation of Archlinux yesterday, installed firefox, thunderbird, steam and stuff and it all worked fine, until what I will explain next.
My installation is slim + openbox + tint2.
Nothing from the start is launched via ~/.config/openbox/autostart but everything I wanted to launch is launched via the ~/.xinitrc which looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
if which tint2 >/dev/null 2&1; then
(sleep 2 && xcompmgr) &
(sleep 2 && tint2) &
fi
xscreensaver -no-splash &
nitrogen --restore &
volumeicon
nmapplet
exec openbox-session
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
This is the status quo .xinitrc before there was
case $1 in
openbox|*)
exec openbox-session;;
esac
instead of
exec openbox-session
with
login_cmd exec /bin/bash -login ~/.xinitrc %session
and no predefined session, which worked very well.
I did not touch the rc.xml until I wanted to make htop as my desktop background like descriped in here. https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Op … background
Yes, the idea with htop does not yet come from there and did not work out well. So I wanted to withdraw all these changes and found the desktop starting slower and without any working mice.
I had deleted the entry at the rc.xml and the .Xdefaults file mentioned there.
Status Quo is the .xinitrc given above, a reinstalled openbox with
$ cp /etc/xdg/openbox/{rc.xml,menu.xml,autostart,environment} ~/.config/openbox
, I also did not touch the tint2 and tint2config.
So how do I get the mice working again?
I would love to thank you for your help, I do not know what else I could do.
tl;dr everything worked fine until I wanted to get a terminal as background.
PS. This is my first installation of archlinux following the german beginners guide found here:
https://wiki.archlinux.de/title/Anleitu … Einsteiger
EDIT: Ok, I solved it by reinstalling and reconfiguring alls componoents up from the xorg-server. It works fine again now. Also I do not get WHY it did what it did.
Last edited by rc0nnect (2013-08-31 08:52:47)With that TV, I believe the only audio output that it gives you is through the SCART connection. I might be wrong though. Does your stereo have a SCART connection? I've only worked with this connection once so I'm not completely farmilair with it but, I think this would be your best conneciton for audio. If your Stereo doesn't have this connection there are addaptors you can get. It's called is a Multi-AV SCART adaptor with input/output signal switch..... I think.

why cant i get a straight answer to a very simple question.
if you made a custom installation wherein you opt to have a different installation path, then you may have to delete the previous installed version.
if you made a default installation wherein you opt to have an "upgrade installation", then the original version need not be uninstalled.
having two installation paths will result to two working mozilla firefox browsers but each time you launch a version, an "add-on compatibility check" will always occur.
for best results, always do an "upgrade installation" unless you want to try a new version first by checking it out. -
CAN I UPDATE THE LATEST VERSION OF FIREFOX WITH WINDOWS XP VERSION 2002 SERVICE PACK 3 ?
I HAVE A DELL DIMENSION 2000 COMPUTER
Firefox 3.6.8 does run on Windows XP. Here are the system requirements:
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/system-requirements.html
Please make a backup of your profile before installing. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/backing+up+your+information Backing up your information].
As for Firefox 4 beta, I have no idea. -
I am using Windows XP.
You will also notice that your shift key will be emulated. Meaning that keys you will try to press will press but they will act like you are pressing the shift key when you are doing them.
Try this, minimize the firefox window by pressing the tab on your taskbar. After doing that maximize it again. You will magically be able to click any link on your page. When you navigate to a new page however, the entire situation will start all over. My only remedy is rebooting and hoping it doesn't happen again soon. -
June 25 my virus software detected a threat from milkiwals.com and zonedg.com. Although the virus software said it contained the threat, I continued to get a widow opening asking if I wanted to run an unknown program in a sandbox, and the same threat alerts would continue every few minutes. I then noticed a new exe running in the task manager labeled conhost.exe. I removed it to the trash the threats stop, but would come back when I did a restart, so I did a system restore to June 24. I restarted the computer with no more alerts. I thought everything was fixed so I shut down the system for the night. But when I restarted the computer on the 26 I got the above describe Firefox problem.
This began to happen to me when I tried to run two separate profiles simultaneously on the same installation of firefox with -no-remote
