[SOLVED] Keeping openbox from different distros from clobbering

I have been using Crunchbang as my everyday OS for awhile now, but recently installed Arch in parallel with the idea of migrating for good once I have things set up the way I like. I've been doing this for awhile now -- working with two different distros simultaneously -- and have always let the two share the same /home. This has never been a problem in the past, but now I'd like to use openbox on Arch. I'd like to start with plain vanilla openbox on Arch, but I don't want to disrupt my Cruchbang config.
I can think of some ways to deal with this -- maybe a line in ~/.profile that directs openbox to a directory of Arch-specific config files, or simply having dedicated /home partitions for each distro and mounting my data separately (which is less than ideal I find, but I suppose that's a personal problem) -- but I thought it best to get some input from others before doing something potentially stupid.
Thanks!

Thanks for all the replies. It seems clear that I should be using a separate /home directory for each distro (and probably should have been for some time now -- time to do some /housecleaning I suppose). When I first started experimenting with Linux I can remember finding something deeply unsatisfying about going that route, but looking back I wonder if it was not just old Windows habits that made me uncomfortable.
Anyway, I'm going to separate /home in each of my distros and use symlinks to point to my data. Neither distro is too heavily configured and I can easily move any config files I need from the data directory anyway, so it should be a relatively painless process....

Yeah, that's kind of the direction I'm headed. I've tried enough distros over enough time to know that I want a highly customizable, lightweight, rolling-release distro for long-term everyday use. At this point, I'm fairly certain that 6 months from now I will have only one Linux distro on my machine, and that it will be either Arch or Gentoo.

SUM two fileds from different rows from the same table

I would like to SUM two fileds from different rows from the same table but I don't know how to do that.

However in the object browser I can only select my own schema.
This happens with whatever user I use.
From sqlplus I can access or create tables for another schema without any problems.
Is this not supported or am I doing something wrong?

How to return course data from different tables from a procedure

I have a procedure which must return information from two tables:
The sturcture of tables is as below:
Table 1:
id,
name,
property,
type
Table 2:
id1
id2 ,
property.
id1 of table2 refers to id attribute of table1. ie id is the foreign key for table2.
the tables are defined such that for corresponding to each id in table1 there would
be two or more rows in table2.
Now in the procedure given the id, i need to retrieve information from table1 and also all the rows in table2 which refers to id2.I want to return a cursor.How can i do this.
eg:
if table 1 has an entry with id 2
and table 2 has three entries with id1 referring to id(i.e id1=2)..I need to return the table1 entry with id=2 and three entires from table2 with id1=2.
If cursors are not appropriate, what other alternative methods can be used.
Any suggestions would be of great help.

thanks for the reply,
The result set would be returned to the client .....which would do further processing.The client does not even know that the data is organized in two tables..Therefore given an id, client would expect to have all the information...i.e the info from table 1 and info from table 2 where the relation ship between id and other ids are stored.
i.e say client has id=6.This id has property,name,etc stored in table1.
This id can further be related to any number other of ids.It can be related 2,5,100,or may be even 10000s of other ids.This mapping between the original id and other ids..are stored in table2.
So given the id by the client , i would want to return property of the ids itself along with all the ids that it is related to .
I want to achieve this.....

Keeping the album songs order, when importing songs from different sources

Hello
I imported lots of songs into my itunes library from various sources (itunes store, CD's, and audio files converted from my vinyl records) This way, songs from a specific artist, and sometimes from a specific album, could come from different sources.
Now, I hope to arrange all the songs from a specific album to appear in the appropriate order, but I just can't find a way of doing this! The songs just appear in the way iTunes sorts them, without any relation to the original order of the album. Even more, in the iPod itself, the order changes once again with no appearant reason! (Interestingly enough, when I import all the songs of a specific album from one source, the order is kept)
I tried changing the names on the files in itunes to include serial numbers (01, 02 and so on, at the names of the songs). but then again, for some reason, no order is kept.
How can I sort the songs in the album according to the proper order? I don't want to use a special playlist for each album.
Thank you in advance for your replies

iTunes sorts things in thew following way (based on having the correct ID3 tag info)
Album > Disc number > Track Number
if you sort things by Album
iTunes does NOT take anything from the file name unless no ID3 tag info is present in the file, then you will see the file name appear as the track name and all other fields blank. ID3 tags are the way most meta-data is handled noawadays.
Hope that helps.

InfoCube Modelling-Adding data from different ODS's on to the Infocube

Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP BI. I have a basic doubt on Modelling the InfoCube.
In our requirement, I have to populate data from 9 custom SAP Tables on to 9 ODS's. And, then take these data on to Infocubes.
And, they want to reduce the number of cubes as much as possible. So, I have to combine the data from different ODS's and build 2-3 Infocubes.
For Example.
I am going to combine 5 ODS's data on to 1 CUBE based on Delivery number...
there are 5 ODS with common key Delivery number. And, suppose I have added some set of fields from ODS1.
And, now when I add other set of fields from the second ODS, WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE 'Delivery Number' field ??
I will make it clear.
I have a record in CUBE already containing Fields- : Delivery no, field_a, field_b, field_c, field_d. Where the 'Delivery no =112333'. This record comes from ODS1.
Now, I want to add data data from ODS2, containg fields -: Delivery no, field_e, field_f, field_g, field_h.
And, what happens to the already existing record in CUBE with 'Delivery no = 11233'. ?
Will the value in this info-object get overwritten ?
OR.. will it combine the data from both the ODS's and show it as ONE record ???
Please advice ... How will I solve this scenario ?
Thanking You in Advance
Shyne Sasimohanan

Answer for your question and the suggestion.
the data will look like as given below
Delivery no, field_a, field_b, field_c, field_d, field_e, field_f, field_g, field_h
11233           1           1           1          1            0           0            0            0
11233          0           0          0             0           1           1           1          1
but the best way, according the design standards is creating another DSO on the top of all the DSO's and combine all the data in that DSO and send the data to Infocube. then the data will be shown as below.
Delivery no, field_a, field_b, field_c, field_d, field_e, field_f, field_g, field_h
11233           1           1           1          1            1           1           1          1

How can I Generate two different reports from single execution of Test cases in NI teststand

Hi,
My requirement is to generate two different reports from NI teststand. One for the Logging of error descriptions and the other report is by default generated by the Teststand. How can i generate a txt file that contains error descriptions other than that mentioned in the default report?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Do you need to do that just for these two sequences but not for other sequences? I don't see a problem to use SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError. Create this callback in both sequence files and configure them to log into the same file. SequenceFilePostStepRuntimeError callback is called after each step of the sequence file if it has runtime error. You can access the calling step error information via RunState.Caller.Step.Result.Error property. Take a look to attached example.
The "other way" is useful if you need to log errors not for every step of the sequence file, but for some of them. This is more complex, because you need to create a custom step types for these steps. For the custom step you can create substeps (post-step in your case) which will be executed every time after step of this type executed. Then, this is you job to determine if error happened in the step, acces to step's error information is via Step.Result.Error property.
Also, be aware that step's post-expression is not executed in case of error in the step.

GR and IR from different vendor??

hi experts
Can anybody give some idea to how to go about the below scenario.
I have to create 1 PO to x vendor for 100/ea quantity.
X vendor he 'll distribute the same some 50 vendors and advised to send materials and invoice to me with ref to 1 PO.
So, i 'll be doing GR and IR from 50 different vendors lik per vendor 2 quantity . ( Like third party).
By keeping reference of 1 PO , i have to do GR and IR for 50 different vendor .
Any suggestion and solution in SAP.
Thanks

Hi,
U can acheive this via Partner Function.
There U can give the ordering Address(OA) and Good Supplier(GS) as different vender
and PI(invoice Party) as one vender.
Suppose you get material from different vender and Invoice from other vender.

Dynamic link confusing two separate AE compositions in PPro from different projects

I am using CS5 Master Collection for Windows 7 (64 bit) on an HP Pro desktop (Intel core 2 duo, 6Gb RAM). The tower has two hard drives installed (no RAID). CS5 is installed on the original C drive along with the OS, but the working files, footage etc are all on the larger, secondary F drive.
I am working on a DVD project consisting of several seperate PPro projects. Each project has been colour corrected in AE using dynamic linking. Recently two of my projects suddenly became mixed up, by which I mean the video (not the audio) from one AE composition in one project has taken the place of another in another project. The clip remains the same length, but the link apears to be referencing the wrong clip during playback. Interestingly, there are two clips on the track above the affected clip that fade out and in at either end, during the dissolves between clips, the correct footage plays. It is only when the clip plays by itself that the problem occurs. The next clip also has the same error, though the problem only occurs for half the clip and then suddenly corrects itself. Just to be clear, All clips have been rendered, there are no more than two video tracks on the sequence, and I have tried replacing the composition from the asset menu (in which the clip plays back correctly), but the problem remains in the sequence.
I hope that descrition is clear enough. My guess is some kind of file path error in the dynamic link, perhaps due to the separate hard drive. But I really wouldn't know. I'm very pressed for time right now and I'd prefer not to go against workflow and re-edit a new composition in AE, I would also like to understand what is going on in case it happens again.
Any help with ths problem would be appreciated,
J

Thanks Colin, I tried what you suggested with both the AE Project that it should be referencing and the AE project it is erroneously referencing but both failed to fix the issue. Its as if a hidden clip were laid over the top of the one I want to play. Frustrating.

It's not the comps that are the problem; it's the project file names themselves. You can have all the comps in a project named the same thing, and it'll be fine, but naming projects incrementally is an issue. After Effects includes a versioning function (Save and Increment) that will create a new AE project file with a serial number, e.g. AE Project 01, AE Project 02, etc. This is all well and good if you're just working in After Effects, but Dynamic Link gets confused and will usually start looking at the later project file for comps. That will just create a big mess, as you've found. Changing the names of the project files won't help things relink automatically properly, but it can help you fix things. Make all your DL AE comps offline in your Pr projects, and name your AE projects in a manner that is not serial (give them more random names). Select your offline AE comps, and right-click > Link Media, and point to the new AE project. Things should link up correctly then--but if they don't, you'll just have to remove all the AE comps from your Pr project, reimport the comps from the newly-named AE project, and replace them. It's a pain but it'll probably just keep getting worse if you don't.

Combining 2 readings into a waveform chart/graph displaying continuous readings of data from different sources

Hi,
In the file
(Serial Read and Write to .tdms & Compare on Graph – test.vi) I am trying
to integrate the following two waveforms into a single waveform: Realtime
reading and Waveform chart (open vi to see). Both of them display speed vs time
but from different outputs. One comes from an excel file (Teraterm – Results.xlsx
– sheet 4, (column 3:row 4) to (column 3:row 1878)) and the other comes from
the Serial input which is in Hex format and is split to get the various readings
of speed, voltage etc. I have already wired speed to a variety of waveform
outputs, but all result in broken wires.
The readings are taken in by the program
and but I am unable to wire the two readings together into one graph.
Please do let me know as to how can I make this work.
Thanks in Advance.

Dear GerdW,
I'm sorry again about the misspelling your nick.
I tried connecting a waveform chart to the two terminals (speed from the DAQ and speed from the excel file) but I was unable to get the connection right. I understand that charts are used for readings which are equally spaced out, whereas XY graphs are used when the readings are not be spaced out uniformly. But I am unable to wire the connections correctly.
Actually the DAQ device continuously sends out data through the serial port. So I would not run out of data . Are you referring to the data coming from the DAQ device or the excel file? I actually have not thought of what would happen when the excel file would run out of values I am just hoping for the software to run till then for now
I have cleared up the wires as well Thanks for your help.

[SOLVED]Cannot print to PDF files neither from Chromium nor from Firef

When I open the print dialog and select "Print to file" to print to a PDF file, it works from applications such as gedit, evince, LibreOffice (this one uses a different print dialog, but works anyway), etc. but it is not working when using it from Chromium or from Firefox. Printing to a standard printer from these browsers works.
When I launch chromium from the terminal and try printing to a PDF file, it outputs this error message in the console:
[2229:2229:0618/092520:ERROR:print_dialog_gtk.cc(406)] Printing failed: Operation not supported
When I repeat the process from Firefox, no error message is printed in the console.
Printing to files was working until recently, I suppose an update broke it. I have Arch installed in 3 different computers (one i686, one x64 and one arm7h), and it is broken in the 3 of them. I'm using XFCE4, and both ghostscript and a2ps are installed.
Is this a known bug? Can it be solved/workarounded?

How to install Linux from a distro instead of booting a live cd?

Suppose you have Arch Linux installed in sda and you want to install a new copy in sdc, can you do it from your distro instead of booting with the installation cd?
Here's my sdc (75 GB):
/dev/sdc1 ntfs 100 MB
/dev/sdc2 ntfs 40 GB
those partitions are used by Windows 7, so there's another 35 GB for Linux.
Now here's the the problem: this latest Arch Linux install media is kinda complicated because it does not provide the AIF anymore. Also, the installation method differs a little from the old ones. Until 2011.08.19 I would partition the remaining space like this:
/dev/sdc3 extended 35 GB
/dev/sdc5 ext2 100 MB /boot
/dev/sdc6 swap 1 GB swap
/dev/sdc7 ext4 15 GB /
/dev/sdc8 ext4 19 GB /home
However this guide http://ebalaskas.gr/wiki/archlinux/netinstall shows a different (suposedly recommended) partition table for the new method.
So,
1) Is it possible to install Arch Linux from an already installed distro, including GRUB2?
2) Is it possible to use the partiton table style I provided?
And how to do it of course.
Thanks!

Check this article out
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ting_Linux
Note that it says it is out of date because of pacman. Really all you need to know is that pacman uses signed packages now, so it is now necessary to run the pacman-key stuff. Or set SigLevel = Never in pacman.conf
Edit: IMHO the first method is preferred because it more closely resembles a regular install. Ergo, you will be able to semi follow the beginners guide for config and such.

I would like something like that:
select * from table1@xxx inner join table2.
i can not split this select into two separate ones, because both tables store over 30 mln. entries and i do not want to create any copies of them.
