[Solved] KDE4 doesn't do stuff when I plug in a drive or insert a CD

When I plug in a USB drive or insert an audio CD, KDE4.3 won't automount it, or even ask me what to do with it. I'd like for it to at least automount USB drives. This says KDE4.3 can do that, but I can't find an option for it anywhere.
I've followed this suggestion on the wiki but it had no effect.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I've no longer had this problem since upgrading to KDE 4.4.

[SOLVED] Laptop doesn't suspend anymore when closing lid [GNOME 3]

Hi there!
Since I upgraded to GNOME 3 recently, my laptop (Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG) doesn't suspend anymore when I close the lid. Instead, it just turns off the screen. If I choose suspend from the menu, it does suspend properly.
I googled a bit and found out that the option what to do on closing the lid was dropped in GNOME 3, setting suspend as default action. That's exactly what I want...
Also, I checked that option via gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor, and (surprise!) it was set to 'suspend'.
Anyone got an idea what to do to make it suspend again on closing the lid?

Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
EDIT:
Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid

A song I bought is on my iPod Touch but doesn't show up when I plug in my iPod to my computer. Why?

I recently bought a song off of iTunes. It shows up on my iPod Touch, but when I plug my iPod into my computer it doesn't show up with the rest of my songs. I tried deleting the song directly from my iPod by swiping the screen (which I normally do) but the delete button doesn't show up. When I try deleting other songs directly from my iPod by swiping the screen, the delete button comes up. Why is this happening? How can I get my song to show up on my computer? How can I delete the song?

It worked! Thank you!
But how come it didn't work when I first plugged in my iPod into the computer?

Speaker's sound doesn't decrease completely when I plug a earphone in front of my case

Hello,
I own a X-Fi Xtrem audio (PCI version) and Windows 7 and I have a little problem.
I recently put back my sound card in my pc (I stored it few month, the last time I used it, it worked well).
Here is the problem : When I plug a earphone in front of the case, I can hear that the speaker's sound is decreasing a little, so there is a hardware detection, but normally the sound of my speaker should stop completely... (with on chip audio device, it's ok)
Did you ever heard of this sort of issue?
I guess there is a component on my sound card that doesn't make is whole work.
I bought my X-Fi in 11/27/2010, guess it is not under "builder" guarantee anymore?
Thank's

Mac Crashed when i plugged in usb drive.

When i plugged in the usb drive, system flashed error message and rebooted. This happen twice, whenever i tried using USB drive.

Hey sandipnirmal,
Maybe the USB HD is corrupt, or at least the partition? I once had a USB HD that I plugged into my laptop and the same thing happened. You might want to see if it will come up on another computer, and if it does, try backing up all of your data, and reformatting the drive, then putting your data back and trying to reconnect to your Mac. I mean it might be last case scenario but it's worth a shot if you have the time.

FINDER disappears, along with desktop icons, when I plug in external drive

Hello, All:
FINDER disappears, along with desktop icons, when I plug in an external memory card from my Nikon camera. This also happens regardless of which USB port I plug it in to. It didn't happen when I installed Leopard two weeks ago, but happens all the time now.
Interestingly, the desktop icons (hard drives and files) DO show up when I open any software program and try to open up a file. The hard drives and files show up in the Open File windows.
Thank you,
Jon

THANK YOU! I've been having the same problem, and the solution you linked to worked perfectly for me. Somehow, my computer's sharing name had been deleted. Once I put that back in the file sharing preference I was able to reconnect my external drive without all Hades breaking loose.
This problem came on the heels of an aborted attempt to use a new Time Capsule (not ready for prime time) which I had to drive 50 miles to take back and replace with a new WD My Book -and I was afraid I was going to have to repeat the trip to take it back as well.

[solved] texlive doesn't work correctly, when lmodern is used

Hi!
I've got a problem with texlive: When I use the package lmodern and my document contains mathematical symbols like integrals or sums or special chars like german umlauts, dvips and pdftex give me error messages and the symbols are not displayed correctly in the resulting document.

\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\begin{document}
$$\int_0^r e^{-x} \sin(x)\,\mathrm dx$$

mktexpk --mfmode ljfour --bdpi 600 --mag 1+57/600 --dpi 657 rm-lmr10
I used lmodern several times in the past and it worked correctly. Maybe some update lead to this...
Can anyone confirm this problem or give some hints, how to solve this problem? I tried reinstalling all texlive packages, updmap, fmtutil...
Thanks for help!
Michael
EDIT:
Reinstalling all texlive packages didn't help. But uninstalling them, deleting all files in /usr/share/texmf* and reinstalling them did help. I don't know why, but the problem is solved. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The way some TeX-related font packages use updmap-sys to update TeX's font database (/etc/texmf/web2c/updmap.cfg) may cause this problem. For me, minionpro started to give similar 'missfont' errors when I upgraded texlive-latexextra.
I don't know the right/best way to handle TeX fonts and use updmap-sys in install files, however installing *.maps files into the /var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/ directory seems to be a more robust solution than calling updmap-sys with '--enable Map' or '--enable MixedMap' options. Adapting the code used in the build files of texlive-latexextra for minionpro solved the problem for me.
The steps I did:
Create *.maps file (minionpro.maps).
Modify the PKGBUILD (modified minionpro PKGBUILD):
Add '$pkgname.maps' to the 'source' variable.
Add these lines to the top of the build() function:
install -m755 -d $pkgdir/var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs
install -m644 $pkgname.maps $pkgdir/var/lib/texmf/arch/installedpkgs/
Update the 'md5sums' variable.
Modify the install file to use the *.maps file when updating TeX's font database (modified minionpro.install).
I hope this helps to solve problems related to other TeX fonts as well.

[solved] Thunar doesn't respect umask when creating files/folders

Having this permissions:
$ umask
0007
When creating files / dirs in a terminal the new ones will get the correct permissions. However when doing the same in Thunar (checked with pcmanfm, too) the files / dirs get different permissions:
-rw-rw---- 1 nap users 0 Jun 30 16:31 new2 - cli
-rw-r--r-- 1 nap users 0 Jun 30 16:31 New Empty File - thunar
drwxrwx--- 2 nap users 4,0K Jun 30 16:32 dir-cli
drwxr-xr-x 2 nap users 4,0K Jun 30 16:32 dir-thunar
Shouldn't applications respect the user's umask settings? Is it a bug or a feature?

Thanks, very useful link.
Now I understand why it works this way. However I'm wondering whether putting umask to ~/.xprofile would work.
Or in .xinitrc before the line that starts WM. I'll try.
Update:
Gcool thanks again.
Putting umask into xprofile works exactly as I need it to work!

IPhone 3GS is not connecting to my Mac. Charges in the wall fine but doesn't do anything when I plug it into my computer.

I bought this phone on ebay and it's still in great condition, charged up quickly, and seems to be working fine except for this one thing. I factory reset it and plugged it into my Mac and nothing happened. No charging sound - nothing. I contacted the seller and she mentioned that maybe it isn't compatible with a higher version of itunes since the phone hasn't been updated? That doesn't seem right but I would hate to think that I just wasted my money. Could it possibly be an internal problem? Any help would be much appreciated seeing as I don't have an Apple store anywhere near me.

Yes, I have the current version of itunes. I charge my ipod and digital camera with the same USB ports and I've never had a problem with them. Woops, when I said 'computer' I was just referring to my Mac again. Sorry for the confusion. But yes. I even tried using my ipod cord with it to no avail.

ITunes 10.4.1 (on PPC G5 iMac OS X 10.5.8) doesn't autoopen anymore when iPad plugged in; why? :)

I think I said it all up there, but will prob'ly be proven wrong.

Did you accidentally turn that feature off in iTunes? Connect your iPad to your Mac and launch iTunes on your own. Select the iPad on the left side under the devices heading. Click on the Summary tab at the top of the iTunes Window on the right - actually that's the default so you should already be in that window. Make sure that you have a checkmark in the box next to Open iTunes when this iPad is connected.
If that feature is greyed out - go to the iTunes menu at the top - iTunes>Preferences>Devices and see if you checked - prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing atuomatically. If you uncheck that - the Open iTunes option should be available now for you to select. But now you will sync automatically again.

Itunes main menu doesn't come up when I plug in ipad to computer. It is stuck on the music menu

i recently plugged in my old ipad into my pc in order to transfer info from my old ipad to my new ipad. the itunes menu is stuck in the music menu, I can not get to the main menu in order to do anything with my ipad. I ended up syncing the 2 ipads thru icloud, but still, I can't get out of the music menu of itunes.

That's the most current version, and rather what I suspected. Many people haven't yet figured out the new default interface in iTunes 11. To get to the iPad information so you can sync, click the iPad button in the header bar at the upper-right:
Or go to the View menu and select "Show Sidebar" and the interface will then look substantially like it did in earlier versions. If you don't see the menus, go to the small icon with the arrow at the extreme upper left and select "Show Menu Bar":
Regards.

ITunes doesn't recognise outlook when ipod plugged in

I am running windows xp with SP2 and have outlook + outlook express installed, but itunes does not recognise. is there something i need to do to be able to use them? thanks.

I had the same problem and it was due to my XP user account being a normal user and not an administrator. I gave myself admin right (temporarily) and the iTunes options for Outlook then appeared.
I raises an interesting question though. I don't want to be an administrator all the time as surfing the web as an administrator is not a good idea and opens your computer up to all sorts of nasties.
Apple can you fix this so normal user account with user access can use the software correctly?
