[SOLVED] Need Help Understanding Warning on Directory Permissions

Hi guys-
In my last update I got these warnings:
warning: directory permissions differ on /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/
filesystem: 700 package: 755
warning: directory permissions differ on /var/lib/libvirt/qemu/
filesystem: 755 package: 770
I've seen quite a few threads floating around like these, but they just add to my confusion. I have not changed persmissions to these files. From what I've gathered so far from a few threads is that the package handler may have changed persmissions resulting in the warning messages. This is where my confusion sets in, and I don't know if it's from staring at the screen for too long, but if I cd into those directories and ls -l, there's the rules.d directory with 700:
/usr/share/polkit-1/:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 10:39 actions
drwx------ 2 polkitd root 4096 Jun 16 18:31 rules.d
However, if I cd into rules.d, there's two files in there, both with 644 permissions:
total 8
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 281 Jun 1 02:17 50-libvirt.rules
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 488 May 12 17:11 gnome-control-center.rules
Where's the file with 755?
Same thing with the other wanring. There's qemu with 755. Libvirt is 755. The directory inside qemu is empty. Where's 770?
total 36
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 boot
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 dnsmasq
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 filesystems
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 images
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 lockd
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 lxc
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 network
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 May 10 19:05 qemu
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Mar 2 05:39 uml
Can someone help me understand this please?

The message does indeed mean that the package maintainer has changed the permissions on those directories. You can change your directories to match or leave them as-is. I always change mine when I get messages like this. To do that in this case, you'd run:
chmod 755 /usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d
chmod 770 /var/lib/libvirt/qemu
That will make your directories consistent with the new versions of the packages.

  • SOLVED: Need help setting up user restrictions/permissions at work

    I am new to the Arch community in the last month after trying out the usual suspects in distributions. My only prior experience with Arch is setting up my tech machine with Linux and a few basic apps for customer backups. However, I have worked in IT for a while, it was just all Windows-based.
    I want to use a spare machine we had laying around at our dog boarding/daycare facility as an employee time clock. More specifically, the time clock is web-based, so the computer only needs access to Firefox and LibreOffice and I would like to restrict it to their online system only. Also, I would like for it to print to the network Epson WorkForce 610 printer. I want the user account "employee" I created to be unable to load new software of any kind, change any settings, access a non-work website, etc. I figured I will maintain it, when necessary, using sudo.
    Up to this point I have just loaded the basic install (32-bit), updated everything, and loaded the few extra things listed in the installation procedure such as sudo, gamin, samba, xorg, and some fonts. I have not yet loaded a desktop environment as I thought my specific needs may be easier with a certain one? I suppose I would prefer Xfce, as I have that on my tech machine, and it was simple enough for anyone to use at work for what I want. Besides that, I'm just going to load Firefox and LibreOffice, set up the network printer, and allow DVD-drive access for watching a training video and for viewing Word/Excel docs. I am hoping this is somewhat easily done, but if something is not possible that is okay. The 95% usage will be simply to punch in and punch out on the time clock online so as to keep the front computer free.
    I am completely unaware in Linux how to accomplish this exactly and am not sure where to even look in the Wiki or forum search for this. I could have just loaded a fresh Windows XP Pro, but I am wanting to get deeper into the Linux community and become as familiar as I am with Windows.
    Thanks for your help,

    To sum it up, you want make your system immutable to the user after your setup and gain certain limit to network access?
    1) To make your system immutable to certain user. The most simple way I can think of is to disable all terminal and launcher programs.
    - Add "exit" to the bottom of ~/.bashrc file. Make it immutable.
    # chattr +i ~/.bashrc
    - Disable your launcher program. Asuming you're installing xfce4.
    # chmod 700 $(which xfrun4)
    - Mount /home folder with noexec option. Edit your /etc/fstab, for example:
    /dev/sda4 /home ext4 defaults,noexec 0 1
    You might also want to add this option for CDROM and USB sticks.
    2) Limit your network access. The easiest way is to use some sort of firefox extension, however it is strictly a weak method to do so.
    Many other methods's available.
    However, I personally hate such thing and wouldn't recommend you to do so. If you truely wish to do it, please do it yourself.
    And that's it. I'm out of here.

  • I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

    I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
    Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
    For example:
    Buy A, B, C to achieve "X" 
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add D to achieve "Y"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    add "E" to achieve "Z"
    You will need:
    an internet provider which supports <specs>
    For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme.  For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice?  Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that?  And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why?  Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel  or sit on the couch in my PJs?
    If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
    I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy. 
    A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

    I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
    No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
    Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
    What business software?
    Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
    Update what across all devices?
    For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
    I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
    Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
    Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
    The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
    Best of luck.

  • Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

    I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS.  We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly.  As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable.  I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in.  I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not.  But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text.  Is that how it's supposed to work?  Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back.  Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead?  I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS.  I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I.  My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit.  My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it.  I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it.  If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed.  Some insight would be appreciated

    I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
    I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
    If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

    Without the quotes, whitespace will break the code. Even if you don't expect whitespace in any of the paths, it's still good coding practice to include the quotes imo.

  • Need help understanding syntax

    Hi,
    I need some help to understand the following syntax .
    PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean); What is this PPARAMImpl?
    I know "am " is a variable . And with pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) we are trying to get the AM name for that page, then why do we need to add (PPARAMImpl) before pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) ?
    For example in plsql , apps.testpkg.mainproc(param1,param2)
    means
    schema.packagename.procedurename(parameter1,parameter2).
    So can you explain "PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean)" in that manner?
    pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM))
    What is this ?
    What are the possible values for EVENT_PARAM ? And by the way , I need help on setting a default value for one of my search parameters in a search region .
    Correct me If I am wrong, this is what I thought
    1. EOImpl has setters and getters for that attribute. So call the setter method in controller and set the value , if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
    or
    2. get the view object name and then set the value for that . like viewobject.setattribute('att name',att value'),if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
    Thanks
    Sri.

    Hi,
    No. These are not equal.
    pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) return AM of type OAApplicationModule.
    It would be fine if your variable am, is of type OAApplicationModule:
    OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) // this would be fine.
    But as you are using of type PPRAMImpl, you must have to type-cast that externally using:
    PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
    If you are still not clear, then refer any java book or google for internal & external type-casting in java.

  • [SOLVED] Need help with setting up X

    Hello guys am new to the forum and this is my first post here. I am in need of a little help.
    Need help with X configuration. It starts like this, I installed xorg-server , xorg-utils, xorg-server-utils. When I tried installed xorg-init it says no package, anyway I ignored and moved on.
    Now I installed regular mesa stuff and installed xf86-video-ati driver for my HD4250 graphics adapter. with libgl and ati-dri (I have old arch wiki print so it mentioned to install those while newer doesn't list some stuff)
    Now the problem is that Xorg -configure doesn't work with newer X and nor the packages has generated /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.
    Anyway I created the file manually and added each and every section as mentioned in the "old" guide that I have.
    I even added a /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-radeon.conf file for my graphics card with the content as
    Section "Device"
    Identifire "r"
    Driver "radeon"
    EndSection
    After manually creating all such files I installed x-term, xclock and twm. But when I tried to start X by startx or Xinit it says command not found. Add to that a simple X shows couple of errors.
    Please see the errors here Paste #399362 | LodgeIt!
    Some more questions : My old guide mentioned to install HAL while newer guide on the net mention DBUS. Though I have added DBUS to be on the safe side but why not HAL ? Is it because of Udev ?
    So please help me getting X up and running.
    Regards
    Last edited by Shashwat (2011-06-04 09:47:47)

    Ok  I sorted out the misprints in the file and installed xinit but still can't get it to work.
    1. There are few errors in xorg.conf that I cannot make it out.
    2. The X output says no screen found. ?
    http://paste.pocoo.org/show/399383/
    Now when I add EndSection at the last its says invalid parameter and when I remove it, I get an error "No EndSection, EOF missing"
    Kind of bugging
    Please do help.

  • Need help with ACLs and propagating permissions

    I'm currently setting up our new server, for which we're moving away from Windows entirely (both on the server and user workstation ends), and I'm currently having some questions about permissions. I've been scouring the OS X Server Advanced Admin pdf, but there are numerous holes in the exposition of permissions from the ACLs down to the proper way to propagate permissions when a manual touch is required. What I'm trying to do is allow one group to have read access only until they get to a certain subdirectory, at which point they can then write to that level; then for the second group, they only need read access for a specific folder down the line from the starting directory. I'll include some example images with a test folder I've created so that it may be a little easier to understand what my goals are with the Server app's permissions. Thank you in advance for all your help.

    You need the advanced permissions editor.  You are trying to convert inherited permissions to explicit.  If I understand what you want, you would go about it like this.
    You have two groups; GroupA and GroupB.  GroupA is the limited group.  You want them to be able to read everything and write to limited locations.  GroupB can read and write everywhere.  So based on your example, you would do this to start:
    At the parent folder level, you are defining GroupA to be able to read and GroupB to read and write.
    Now to drill down.  In Server.app select your server.  This is the first item in the side bar.  On the right, choose Storage.  Drill down to where your shared folder is located and select it.  From the Gear menu, chose Edit Permissions as shown here:
    You will note that GroupA and GroupB are both gray.  This denotes that they are inherited entries at this level.  You must break the inheritance and start over.  To do this, press the small gear icon on the edit permissions sheet and choose "Make Inherited Entries Explicit."  GroupA and GroupB will turn black, allowing you to edit them.  Change GroupA from Read to Read Write.  Press OK to close the sheet.
    Now, if you already have data inside the folder, you can use the large gear menu and choose Propagate Permissions.  This will ensure that your data will reset with the new ACL.

  • I need help understanding export options and optimizing for web

    I have been using FCP X for a short while now and have a pretty good grasp on the editing capabilities. What I'm having a horrible time figuring out is the export/share options. The videos I create are typically approximately 1 minute in length and get posted to a web site (we have our own CMS and video player so I'm not using YouTube or Vimeo or anything like that). In order to post them I need them to be MP4s and then I have to create .webm and .ogv files. The source material I work with is generally great, high quality stuff, so I end up with very large output files from the initial FCP share master file options.
    When I use MPEG Streamclip to make my MP4s I end up with files that are still quite large and I can't seem to ever get the file size manageable without losing tons of quality. I do not have Compressor, though if that will solve my problem I will put in for the expense of it. What I'm trying to understand is what sorts of settings I should be trying out to get my file sizes to be manageable without completely compromising my quality. And I know this can be done, because the company I work for pays for a great quantity of video work each year (from an outside production firm) and the clips provided are beautiful in quality and small in file size -- for example, I recently worked on a video and got it into the 40MB range before quality went to crap, working off the same material the production company we do work with had theirs down into the teens and looking beautiful!
    To throw an even greater wrench in the works, I am working off a mac. But when my boss, on a pc, saves the mp4s I create (raw files -- not what is posted to the web) locally on his machine and views them from there the sound is always off a tad and the people in the videos look like they're lip synching.
    Any advice on either of these is MUCH appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out properly for months, and only today decided to stop seeing if someone else had the same question and just post my own.

    Thank you Karsten, this was helpful I have utilized the Quality slider and the frame size options before though with limited results. I've never messed with the Limit Date Rate option as I don't know what I'm doing with it, I see you put 5Mbps. Is that a typical setting that I could use?
    Using stream info, here's info on my original source file:
    Stream: Charles_0023_2.mov
    Duration: 0:00:51
    Data Size: 96.51 MB
    Bit Rate: 15.77 Mbps
    Video Tracks:
    H.264, 1920 × 1080, 29.97 fps, 15.64 Mbps
    Audio Tracks:
    MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 127 kbps
    Stream Files:
    Charles_0023_2.mov (96.51 MB)
    As a comparison, here's the info on a similar clip that the company we sometimes use created:
    Stream: Charles_0019_4.mp4
    Duration: 0:00:49
    Data Size: 4.66 MB
    Bit Rate: 0.80 Mbps
    Video Tracks:
    JVT/AVC Coding, 710 × 400, 29.97 fps, 635 kbps
    Audio Tracks:
    MPEG-4 Audio stereo, 48 kHz, 162 kbps
    Stream Files:
    Charles_0019_4.mp4 (4.66 MB)
    I'm fine with bringing the frame size down some and modifying the limit data rate, but sometimes I feel like I'm forcing my video into something it's not and the quality suffers -- this is where my understanding of video work breaks down LOL. Any suggestions of how I can get my .mov into something like the the .mp4 above?
    Also have you had any experience with mp4s not playing back properly on pcs?
    Again, thank you!

  • [Solved]Need help with backup-manager

    So I'm trying to set up backup-manager to make.. well, backups. Their wiki has been shut down thanks to spammers, and ours has no specific entry for backup-manager, so I will have to do it with its man page and the (well documented) config file. However, I still have some questions. Sorry in advance for the amount of questions and the length of the topic. I just wanted to get this clear in one go.
    First: I want to make a *full* system backup, so that I can restore my system in case of breakage without reinstalling. When I looked at creating backups in the past, I noticed some folders don't necessarily had to be backupped. What folders in / could I skip?
    Second: I chose the tarball backup format. Would it then be safe to comment out all the other variables (for tarbal-incremental/mySQL) backups?
    Third: Now there were some parts of the config file that I didn't understand. I hope you can explain some of those parts to me.
    # Number of days we have to keep an archive (Time To Live)
    export BM_ARCHIVE_TTL="5"
    That means the archive it creates will be removed after 5 days - but what if I copy it to my external hard disk? I don't think it will delete it then, so would it be safe to comment this out - or what will it do if I just keep it this way?
    # At which frequency will you build your archives?
    # You can choose either "daily" or "hourly".
    # This should match your CRON configuration.
    export BM_ARCHIVE_FREQUENCY="daily"
    I either want to make a backup when I want to, or weekly - not hourly or daily. Is this possible with backup-manager?
    # Do you want to purge only the top-level directory or all
    # directories under BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT?
    export BM_REPOSITORY_RECURSIVEPURGE="false"
    I don't understand that option. Could you explain me what it will do? Info: BM_REPOSITORY_ROOT is set to my home folder. It's the place where the archives are stored.
    # Do you want to replace duplicates by symlinks?
    # (archive-DAY is a duplicate of archive-(DAY - 1) if they
    # are both the same according to MD5 hashes).
    export BM_ARCHIVE_PURGEDUPS="true"
    Will this harm anything in my system?
    # Do you want to dereference the files pointed by symlinks ?
    # enter true or false (true can lead to huge archives, be careful).
    export BM_TARBALL_DUMPSYMLINKS="false"
    This would 'destroy' all symlinks, no? I'm going to keep this at false, but I would like to know.

    Tried to do a selective upgrade & broke something this morning so I tried restoring my CompleteRaid0 backup, worked like a charm.
    This is the latest backup script I'm using:
    #!/bin/sh
    # Little script to tar up the important root folders.
    # To untar, use:
    # tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
    echo "Do you want to clear pacman's cache before tarring up the root folder? This will save time in both the tar- and untar process."
    echo -n "(y|N) > "
    read a
    if [[ "$a" = "n" ]] || [[ "$a" = "N" ]] || [[ "$a" = "" ]]; then
    echo "Pacman's cache will not be cleared."
    else
    echo "Pacman's cache will be cleared now, please wait..."
    pacman -Scc --noconfirm
    echo "Pacman's cache succesfully cleared. Continuing now..."
    sleep 2s
    fi
    DATE=`date +%m%d-%H%M%S`
    CB=CompleteRaid0-$DATE.tar.gz
    NB=FreshInstall-$DATE.tar.gz
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    echo "Proceeding with Fresh Install backup $NB."
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    sleep 5
    cd /
    tar -cvpzf $NB --one-file-system \
    /boot \
    --exclude=/$NB \
    --exclude=/dev \
    --exclude=/etc/fstab \

    echo "********************************************************************************"
    echo "Sleeping for 10 seconds."
    echo "Proceeding with complete backup $CB."
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    sleep 5
    tar -cvpzf $CB --one-file-system \
    /boot \
    --exclude=/$CB \
    --exclude=/tmp \
    --exclude=/mnt \
    mv $CB /home/chuck/Backups/
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    echo "Backups Complete"
    echo "********************************************************************************"
    sleep 10
    exit 0
    Restored it with this:
    #!/bin/sh
    # To untar, use:
    # tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup/<date>-backup.tar.gz -C </path/to/root>
    tar -xvpzf /home/chuck/Backups/now.tar.gz -C /
    mkdir /proc \
    /lost+found \
    /sys \
    /mnt \
    /media \
    /mnt/bind/Downloads \
    /mnt/bind/Pictures \
    /mnt/bind/Maintenance \
    /mnt/bind/Music \
    /mnt/bind/Backups
    exit 0
    Of course the directories already existed so that part was unnecessary & only needed if I had restored onto a fresh installation.

  • I need help understanding how this works. AS 2.0

    Its my first time here and i only started learning flash today. I aint too great with maths and i was showed this piece of code that makes a triangles point follow the cursor. It involved mathimatical things ( which i aint so great at) and the guy said "You dont need to know how it works, just how to use it." well i copied his code and it worked, but i have no idea how to use it in other rotation apart from the one he taught us. I dont even understand how to redo his code i saved it to a word document and anytime i wanted to make something rotate something in that fashion i would refer to that. But i dont want to have to do that, i want to know how to use it, dont have to understand it, but use it for other rotation matters. If you are going to help, please try to be a bit simmple i explaining it, cause im new. Dont get me wrong i aint thick but i can find it a bit hard to follow some things, that is i my current problem.
    here is the rotation code:
    onEnterFrame = function()
    hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);
    getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number
    dy = _ymouse-mc._y;
    dx = _xmouse-mc._x;
    rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
    rotate = rad*180/Math.PI
    return rotate+90
    also if it helps, here is the video i was watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OfrpbNhHs
    please if you can, explain how the entire thing works.
    thanks for any help given in advance.

    Hi,
    Here's a short primer.  It may not be sufficient but here goes.
    1st, move the closing bracket at the end and put it on the third line.  This makes the code more efficient
    onEnterFrame = function(){                               // this causes Flash to repeatedly
                                                                              execute the next line at the
                                                                              frame rate you selected
                                                                              for your document
           hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);               // this tells Flash to rotate a
                                                                              movie clip (named hero) based
                                                                              on the function getmouse()
    };                                                                     // putting the }; here makes the
                                                                              code more efficient and readable
    getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number{   // This is the function called with
                                                                             mc referring to hero that was
                                                                             passed from the second line.
         dy = _ymouse-mc._y;                                // dy means delta y which subtracts
                                                                            the y position of the movieclip
                                                                            from the mouses y position
         dx = _xmouse-mc._x;                               // dx = delta x (same as above line
                                                                            but on the x axis)
                                                                         // once you have the x and y sides
                                                                            you male a triangle.
                                                                            Now use trig to find the angle
         rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);                           // the computer works in radians
                                                                            the arc tangent atan2 will give the
                                                                            angle in radians
         rotate = rad*180/Math.PI                            // you want to convert the radians to
                                                                            degrees, that's what this line does
         return rotate+90                                         // this returns the value of rotate back
                                                                            to the calling function in line 2.
                                                                            the +90 determines which part
                                                                        // of the hero movie clip is facing the
                                                                           mouse.
    If you put the mouse cursor over any of the green reserved words above in the Actions panel you will get a desctription of what these do.
    hope that helps.

  • Need help understanding profiles and color management

    I made the big leap from inexpensive inkjets to:
    1 Epson 3800 Standard
    2 Spyder3Studio
    I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
    I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
    1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
    2 Calibrated the monitor
    3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
    What I've found:
    1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
    2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
    3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
    4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
    5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
    So, why am I confused?
    1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
    2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
    I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
    You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
    So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
    The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
    The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
    By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
    You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
    The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
    The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
    If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
    The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
    You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
    As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
    Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
    If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
    The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
    You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
    So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
    As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
    There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
    Hope this helps,

  • [SOLVED :)] Need help with adf table row selection

    Hi,
    In my application I am displaying results in a table. The DisplayRow property of table is set to Selected
    There are Next and Back buttons which help user to view details associated to the next/previous rows.
    I am using ADF 11g
    When user clicks Next or Previous button, then the selection of the row should also gets updated
    To achieve this i wrote below piece of code:
    this.tblS.getSelectedRowKeys().clear();+
    this.tblS.setRowIndex(count);+
    RowKeySet rks =  tblS.getSelectedRowKeys();+
    rks.add(tblS.getRowKey());+
    rks =  tblS.getSelectedRowKeys();+
    ISSUE:_
    When i run application and click Next/Previous Button, all functionalities do take place properly, but a null pointer exception is also thrown._+
    If i remove DisplayRow property of table from Selected to Default, every thing works good and no Exception is thrown_+       
    But as records in my table are going to be around 50-60 everytime, i need to set DisplayRow property of table to Selected.
    Is there any way to achieve this? Solve this problem?
    Some more details:_
    I am using a POJO class to create DataController. This DataController is having a view Object which is used to create results table.

    Hi Arun,
    Thanks for replying.
    Actually in my application there is one result table and a section that is displaying complete details of the product selectd in result table.
    The next/previous buttons are not binded with result table.
    What I am doing is, I am puuliing data from VO and displaying it on form, whenever any of these buttons is clicked.
    As soon as these buttons are clicked data is coming up, but selection state of table is not getting updated.
    So to update selection state i wrote piece of code described in my previous post.
    Everything works fine if displayRow property of table is not set to selected.
    If i set display row property of table to selected, then i get a null pointer exception with message log defined in previous post.
    Although NPE is thrown, yet all data is properly fetched and table selection is also updated. But am not able to get how this NPE is coming and hpw to fix it .
    (I need to keep displayRow = selected, for all other cases NPE is not thrown)
    Please help..
    Thanks and Regards

  • Need help understanding component id values in a region

    Hi, I have an adf region that is assigned the id of r1. The region uses a .jsff that has various UI components, for example a commandButton assigned the id of cb1. I'm trying to understand how ADF creates the id for the button that's rendered.
    For example, in this case, the id of the button is something like a:b:r1:1:cb1 (where a & b are the ids of other parent naming containers). What does the ":1" in r1:1 indicate? It seems like it's some index value and not referring to a naming container, but not sure what this means in the context of a region.
    Other times, I've noticed that the id of the same button is something like a:b:r1:0:cb1. In this case, r1:1 got changed to r1:0. What is the meaning of ":1" and "{noformat}:0{noformat}" in the ids and why would this change?

    I am assuming that your mum's email address is a sub-account of your dad's.
    If it is you need to set up a BTID for her. This will allow her email account to be managed and only accessed by her rather than being managed by your dad.
    If your dad is the account holder log onto his MyBT and go to "My Extras" and you will see "Manage BTMail" Click on that and you should see their email accounts. Make sure that you "gift" your mum's email to her.
    You should now set up a BTID using your mum's email address and password as the BTID username and password. Once you have done that she should be able to log onto MyBT using her BTID and you should be able to log onto her email.

    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/48680/c/346,6769,7012/related/1
    You should make your dad's BTID the same as his BT email address and password. It makes it easier to manage and allow access to other BT features. It is his email address and password that you put onto Outlook Express.
