[SOLVED]manually set resolv.conf nameserver when using netcfg

This is probably simple, but i can't seem to find the answer anywhere (wiki/google/forums), so if someone could point me in the right direction that would be great!
When netcfg brings up my wireless connection it automatically overwrites my nameserver settings in /etc/resolv.conf
how do i set it up so that it keeps my settings?

Use DNS=()
DNS=(192.123.123.123 167.21.51.12)
There is also SEARCH= and DOMAIN= if needed.

[SOLVED] Question about resolv.conf

I successfully configured my Arch box with a static IP by following the instructions on the Arch wiki page here but had a couple of questions about configuring /etc/resolv.conf:
1) What is the proper way to obtain the domain name that should be inserted into resolv.conf?
2) What exactly is this domain name used for? I read the man page but still don't really understand it. Why do I need a domain name if I already have a working set of nameservers to resolve IP addresses?
EDIT: @ewaller Yes I edited the OP because I realized that my original problem was that I just hadn't added a domain name in my resolv.conf file. I edited my original post because 1) the instructions are already posted clearly on Arch Wiki so my post really wouldn't be beneficial and 2) so I could ask my real question without making other people waste their time reading through my other nonsense

Yes, I know how to get a nameserver, but I'm asking about the domain name that goes in resolv.conf. The Arch wiki tutorial for setting up static IP uses the following resolv.conf as an example:
nameserver 61.23.173.5
nameserver 61.95.849.8
search example.com
My question has to do with what the "search example.com" does. I don't have a domain name associated with my machine, but if I remove that line, then I get "web page unavailable" when I try to load any web site, which suggests that I'm not connecting to any nameservers right?

[SOLVED]Xorg crash with some applications when using double screen

Hi,
I have a TV that I often use to watch dvd from my computer, and to do that I've set it up as a second screen in my xorg.conf, but on a daily basis I use a xorg.conf file with only my main screen. Up until last week I was able to use my second screen without problem, but yesterday I tried and it crashed instantly.
So I ran a few tests, amsn and vlc seems to be 2 applications that makes X crash (though there might be other, but I seem to be able to use chromium firefox and ktorrent just fine).
My WM is not to blame, I've launched X without any WM and vlc still makes X crash.
The problem does not happen when using a single screen.
I thought that my xorg.conf might be the problem, so I used nvidia-settings to create a new one, but that didn't change anything.
Here are my xorg.conf used for dual screen, and the logfile from the Xorg crash:
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig

Sorry this doesn't really help with the Xinerama problem, but since you are using the nvidia driver, have you considered using Twinview instead? You could do composite stuff too with Twinview - last I knew, Xinerama had problems with things that want to use compositing. I don't know how your setup is but if you're not set on using Xinerama, it might be an option to consider.

How do you set the line spacing when using the Append Text Table to Report VI?

I have a table of numbers which I wish to print using the report generation VI's. Since each column has a different numerical format, I first convert the number for each cell to a string with the appropriate format and then build a string array to pass to the Append Text Table to Report VI. The table is printed with double line spacing. How do I reset this for single spacing?

Dave,
The issue is not with the NI-Reports functionality, but the Array to Spreadsheet String funvtion in the for loop. Here is the context help for this function:
"Converts an array of any dimension to a table in string form, containing tabs separating column elements, a platform-dependent EOL character separating rows, and, for arrays of three or more dimensions, headers separating pages."
The thing to note here is that it says it adds an EOL (end of line) character at the end of every row. This is what is happening. Your first column of data has a \r\n in it and adds the second row to each data item. This in turn makes the rest of the columns have a larege blank space at the bottom so that all of the cell heights are equal. I w
ould re-write that little bit of code so that you just do one large string concatenation of number, spaces, number, spaces, number and this should solve your issue.
Thank you for using the Developer Zone Discussion Forums.

How to set "Files of type" when using a "File Browse" item.

Apex 4.0.2
Internet Explorer 7 +
I have a "File Browse" item on a page and need to limit the types of files display to just "text (.txt)" files. How can this be done? Currently, the "Files of type" list shows "All File (*.*)", "Pictures (*.gif,*.png)", and HTML (*.htm,*.html)". In the best case, I would like to not have the "Files of type" list and have the user just limited to text files. However, adding Text files (*.txt)" to the "Files of type" list is ok.
thanks,
William

Thought i'd do a bit of research after seeing Scotts wonderful ideas.
So it turns out, IE made the file item read only from version 8, for security reasons. Read more: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2008/07/02/ie8-security-part-v-comprehensive-protection.aspx
File Upload Control
Historically, the HTML File Upload Control (<input type=file>) has been the source of a significant number of information disclosure vulnerabilities. To resolve these issues, two changes were made to the behavior of the control.
To block attacks that rely on “stealing” keystrokes to surreptitiously trick the user into typing a local file path into the control, the File Path edit box is now read-only. The user must explicitly select a file for upload using the File Browse dialog.
Additionally, the “Include local directory path when uploading files” URLAction has been set to "Disable" for the Internet Zone. This change prevents leakage of potentially sensitive local file-system information to the Internet. For instance, rather than submitting the full path C:\users\ericlaw\documents\secret\image.png, Internet Explorer 8 will now submit only the filename image.png.To resetting the actual items, suggestions I found were to replace the actual item. So instead of using $s, I just replace the element, with the existing element, causing it to re-initialise.
var htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
function fileCheck(el){
    if(el.value){
        var validFile = false;
        var validExtensions = ["csv"];
        var filename = el.value;
        var fileExtIndex = filename.lastIndexOf(".");
        var fileExt = filename.substring(fileExtIndex+1, filename.length);
        for(i = 0; i < validExtensions.length; i++){
            if(validExtensions[i] == fileExt){
                validFile = true;
                break;
        if ( !validFile || fileExtIndex == -1) {
            alert("Invalid Extension. Permitted files must end with: " + validExtensions.toString());
            var htmlContents = el.outerHTML || new XMLSerializer().serializeToString(el);
            $('#P16_BINARY').replaceWith(htmlContents);
}(obviously, replacing what you need to, to suit your page - i prefer scotts idea of passing in supported file types in the function, so would just pass in an array instead; but this is just for demonstration)
with an onchange="checkFile(this)" on the element attributes.
On a slightly un-related note, I found out IE doesn't support the wonderful indexOf function on arrays, that checks for the existence of the value in an array. Sucks.

Ah well, jQuery is there, maybe i should use that for searching arrays in the future.

[SOLVED] Trouble setting up KVM VGA passthrough using vfio

Hi all!
In the past two weeks I've set up my first LFS build using Arch and everything is working great! Well, almost everything.
I'm trying to get a VM set up with vfio for Windows gaming but I'm having trouble and I don't know where to look to fix this... Following this guide: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768
I have compiled and am running AUR\linux-vfio, with amd_iommu=on and my processor supports virtualization. pci-stubs holding on to the card to be virtualized.
Cobbled together specs - The 7850 is my host and the 7870 is to be passed to the VM.

For some strange reason I feel like virtualization isn't working on my machine. I've checked the BIOS, virtualization is enabled... I just can't get iommu turned on. Any ideas?

Blah, looks like I have to build a new system (or at least get a new mobo) to get this figured out. I've put in a ticket with gigabyte for my mobo to see if they'll do anything for me, but I doubt it...
I'm hesitant to mark this as solved... would anyone have any ideas on how I could get this working otherwise?

Two things I want to know:
1. I was trying to access a variable as JLabel
myLabel; defined in the constructor of a class from
the constructor of another class. I got this error
message - "Cannot access non-static variable from a
static context". Why(When both are non-static am I
getting the message as static context)?Post some code. It's hard to pinpoint a syntax error like that without seeing the code.
Also, there may be cleaner ways of doing what you want without having classes sharing labels.
2. I am using a map to set the attributes of a font.
One of the key-value pair of the map is
TextAttributesHashMap.put(TextAttribute.FOREGROUND,Colo
.BLUE);
But when I using the statement g.drawString("First
line of the address", 40, 200); the text being
displayed is in black and not blue. Why?You need to use the drawString that takes an AttributedCharacterIterator:
import java.awt.*;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("Example");
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        Container cp = f.getContentPane();
        cp.add(new Example());
        f.setSize(400,300);
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        f.setVisible(true);
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g);
        String text = "Every good boy does fine always";
        AttributedString as = new AttributedString(text);

        as.addAttribute(TextAttribute.SIZE, new Float(16));

Help with setting an IF value when using a Pop-up Value

Hello,
I'm hopeful that someone out there has enough understanding with numbers to help me figure out how to program this function.
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will allow me to track payments that have been reimbursed for a given service provided in a medical clinic. As the payout from the insurance companies is not only variable with time before reimbursement, but also with the actual amount that the each reimburses for a given procedure - I'm trying to create a system to track this all.
So, here's what I've got so far:
On one sheet, I've created a one column - in which I've created a pop-up menu selection using three of the insurance companies that we bill out to regularly (let's call it Column I - cell I2). On "another" sheet, I've created a list of values comprised of what the actual reimbursement from each of the three companies is for the particular service provided, in dollar amounts.
What I'm trying to do, is set it up so that when I select say "First Choice" from the pop-up menu (cell "I2), the dollar value from the "other" sheet appears in the column following that of the pop-up menu column (column I), with this new value now in (Column J) - cell J2. I had then planned on being able to create a row at the bottom of the entire sheet that could then "SUM" the values represented by the newly created J2 cell.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hello
I guess that the contents of the table "rates" is clear.
In table "Main", standard cells of column E contain a popup menu with four items :
"company 1"
"company 2"
"company 3"
In standard cells of column I, the formula is :
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E,rates :: $A:$B,2,0),"")

SET property step disappear when use Java SHA-1

When I apply SET property with Java SHA-1, java.security.MessageDigest, the SET step disappear immediately. (It has been removed automatically.)
My project requires for using SHA-1. How do I use SHA-1 hashing function in UCCX editor?
Did UCCX editor support limited Java library?
I'm using UCCX Editor with UCCX 8.0

Hi, Anthony Holloway.
I used to read your very useful SOAP in IVR tutorial, thump up!
I have already opened a TAC case. They told me to change compatibility mode to Windows 2000 which I have changed it already.
I also disable visual style in the property. No changes happens.
I think my error/bug appears when I assign byte[] data. As an example:
byte[] bArray = text.getBytes();
"java.security.MessageDigest -> digest()" use this datatype for hashing function.
But yours, Anthony, my opinion is your inline-style code maybe very complex to IVR for understanding while typical jre can understand it!
Did you think so, Anthony?

[SOLVED]Missing /usr/lib/libgssapi.so when using conserver client

With newly MIT krb5 in [Core] repo, everything I using console ( the client of conserver: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27856), I got a compain about missing /usr/lib/libgssapi.so error.
I recompiled it, but not work.
Manaully create a link from /usr/lib/libgssapi_krb5.so will solve this problem.
But still confusing about why recompile the software don't goes to correct lib file.
Anyone can give me a clue?

Could not resolve memory leak when using QuadArray BY_REFERENCE

Hi,
While working on my project I have to create large mesh (grid). To do it I am using QuadArray and using BY_REFERENCE mode.
After I close the module, the float array that is used as the coordinates array for above QuadArray geometry, is not freed. And if I open same module it takes additional same amount of memory. If I open that module for 3-4 times, memory goes piling up and causing OutOfMemoryError.
Even I have nullified the coordinate array explicitly on closing the module, the problem could not be resolved.
Can any body please help and give me some points where the problem may be rooted.
Regards,

I found the solution
if I set the coordinate array to null memory frees up.
The code line look like
g.setCoordRefFloat(null);Probably reference kept by geometry was not being freed.
cheers!

Setting Photoshop monitor profiles when using dual displays?

I'm using a Macbook Pro connected to an Apple Cinema Display under OS 10.5.8. Both monitors are calibrated and I export from Lightroom to Photoshop in ProPhoto. The Photoshop working colour space is also ProPhoto so there is no mismatch there.
When in dual display mode I like to have my Photoshop application on the Macbook screen and the photo I'm working on shown on the Cinema Display. In fact, I couldn't work any other way because the laptop's screen is not at all suitable for precision work.
I noticed that when I send an image from Lightroom to Photoshop CS4 for further editing the colours were off in Photoshop. This lead me to check the monitor profile used by Photoshop and I saw it was using the Macbook Pro .icc profile. This seems to be used even if the image is displayed in the external display. Selecting the Cinema Display as "default" in ColorSync doesn't change the situation. As a result, the colours as displayed by Photoshop are incorrect.
The only "solution" I have found is to either go to System Preferences > Displays and select the external monitor as the principal one (which is inconvenient because it negates many of the advantages of using dual monitors) or setting the Cinema Display's .icc profile for the Macbook Pro as well (which makes it the one chosen by Photoshop but means I'm only working wiht one correctly calibrated monitor).
Is there a solution to this problem? Ideally I want to have both my monitors calibrated and Photoshop detect which one I'm using to view my photo. Failing that, I would like to have both monitors calibrated and "tell" Photoshop to use the Cinema Display as the principal monitor.I don't want .
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply!
I'm not too worried about 10.6 because I'm not using it ( I reverted to 10.5.8 precisely because of the colour issues).
I don't really understand your reply. My problem is that if Photoshop uses my Mabook Pro profile as the "monitor profile" my pictures - as displayed on the Cinema Display - look different in Lightroom and in Photoshop. It's as if Lightroom is "aware" of which of the two displays is being used whereas Photoshop can only deal with one at a time. I would like to know if this analysis is correct and what I can do so that Photoshop displays my photographs the same way as Lightroom does on each of my two displays.

Setting fequency of sync when using Home Sharing

OK, I have 3 Mac's in the house and all are connected via home share. Everything seems to be working without any issues.
This is actually a tweaking question. Does anyone out there know how to set how frequently the Macs talk to each other to sync up the libraries? When I purchase a new song, it makes it way to the other machines eventually, but it has taken as long as an hour for them to all sync up the new purchase.
I can go to each one and force the import through Home share, to get it done faster. But I am trying to find a setting (if there is one) that would make the Macs check the other libraries a little more often, for new purchases.
Any ideas?
P.S. I checked the settings on all three Macs and all of them say to transfer new purchases from the other two of them.

I just tried unchecking the songs. The unchecked songs show up as a dark grey on the Apple TV, but I am still able to select them and play them.
I think I have found a work around:
That songs that are in the "cloud" using iTunes Match but not downloaded to local storage on the computer do NOT show up on the Apple TV. I could to delete everything that I don't want from the local storage on the computer, but keep them in the cloud. I will still be able to access the songs on my personal phone using iTunes Match. But only those that I chose to download would show up on the AppleTV.
Ideally, Apple would have some sort of Family iCloud plan that would give me sub-accounts (similar to the only Mobile Me family plan). I could then assign Songs, Movies, and Apps to the sub accounts giving them access to only what I want them to have access too.
I have a smiliar problem with Netflix. I should probably just embrace parenthood and admit that I will be listening to nothing but kids songs and Pixar movies for the next decade or so. And just archive away all my old silly music and R rated films that I probably won't listen to or watch anyway.

Setting a deployment context when using the embedded OC4J

I'm trying to debug a servlet using the embedded OC4J server. I have a simple project that includes a servlet source file and and a web.xml file. The web.xml file defines context
parameters that I want the servlet to read and use when it is deployed. However I don't know
how to get JDeveloper to set up the servlet context on the debugging environment to use the
contents of the web.xml file. Could anyone tell me how to do this? I cannot see how to
do this from the help files.
Many thanks in advance

The trick is to ensure that you use a 'Project with Web Module' rather than
'Empty Project' and then add a new 'HTTP Servlet'. When you do this
JDeveloper automatically creates a web.xml file. You can add context
parameters, or practically any other configuration items by right clicking
on the web.xml tree node inthe system navigator and selecting settings.
The web.xml file is saved into the directory specified by the 'HTML Root Directory' on the 'Input Paths' panel in the project settings dialog.

How to set up immediate calculation when using fields

Hello,
forgive me for the apparently dull question (I assume it is so as I was unable to find answer for it on the forum).
I am making a fillable PDF form with Acrobat Pro 9 and I have this page with simple invoice that looks like this:
item_price_1 * no_items_1 = subtotal_item_1
item_price_2 * no_items_2 = subtotal_item_2
item_price_n * no_items_n = subtotal_item_n
TOTAL = sum(subtotals)
I set up the various fields and created the formulas using properties > calculation >
While the subtotals populates automatically as I clic anywhere in the PDF [after filling the item_price and no_items], the same cannot be said for the TOTAL field - it populates only after that I enter a character anywhere in the form, no matter where and no matter what (even a spacing character works).
However since this form has to be made public, the users will think that the formula doesn't work because they cannot see an immediate calculation of the TOTAL.
Ideally, I'd like the result to be shown immediately, but I could go also with a simple "click anywhere on the page to update the TOTAL".
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

This is a very common problem.
You need to fix the form's calculation order (Forms - Edit Fields - Set
Field Calculation Order...) Make sure the total field calculates after all
the sub-totals.
