[SOLVED] New to Arch Linux, Need help in Installation.

Hi,
I am Ubuntu user for sometime, but I want to migrate to Arch Linux. I need some help. Please note that I am not Linux Expert but I have been using Ubuntu and OpenSUSE for quite sometime now. The reason for deciding to migrate to Arch Linux is with I need speed.
My laptop configuration is
Dell Vostro 1015 - Intel Dual Core 1.8 GHz with 2 GB RAM.
I was using Ubuntu 64 bit version.
Here in Arch Linux, I find there are 3 options to download i686 CPU, x86-64 CPU, Dual Architecture
Now which one should I download among x86-64 and Dual Architecture?
Thanks.

Thank you all for welcoming me at Arch Linux!
I was bit worried at the beginning because I tried Fedora before but it has one bug because of which it does not get installed on my laptop.
http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=255943
I was bit disappointed being not able to use Fedora (both 14 and 15 ) because of this bug.
The reason I got worried because I am new to Arch, as I mentioned I am not Linux expert and Arch is not for beginners( though I consider myself intermediate in Linux but certainly not expert). So I thought if I do not get community support probably I will not be able to use Arch Linux. The reason I got interest in Arch Linux is http://lifehacker.com/5680453/build-a-k … he-process this article. I am not thinking of upgrading my laptop for speed anytime sooner. So I thought of trying Arch Linux.
The reason to post the topic was in most of Linux distros we see two options (x86, AMD_64). I found 3 options at Arch. I just wanted to make sure I am downloading right download.
So I hope I clarified it.

You are right. I should not have have brought experience and credentials in discussion. I used to follow hardware architectures but now I have so many other things to follow, so I can not keep up with hardware architectures. I still do not know exact architecture of i3,i5 or i7 processor or any of AMD processors. Thats how it is.
I thank you all for support.
Looking forward to trying Arch Linux.
Thanks

a pacnew file is used when an update to a package requires a new configuration file, but there is already a configuration on your system which would be wrong to simply overwrite.
If there is nothing in the old, corresponding file you want to keep, it is okay for you to move the pacnew file and overwrite the old configuration. If it is not okay, you need to incorporate your customizations into the pacnew file, and then move the pacnew file and overrwrite the old file.
The tools you mentioned are just that -- tools to help figure out what changed. The easiest solution is just to run diff fileName fileName.pacnew to see the lines that changed.
Thanks for reply...I install vim and run diff:

Just a word of advice. Never ever use the word "urgent" on this forum

I am new to this but need help. Lion and iCloud have never worked on my desk top or MacBook Pro. Slow or Stop! Is there any way to fix the problem?

Need help with installation

I recently received a laptop from school to access my online classes. When I tried to use Adobe Reader I received the following message: Adobe Reader 9.1 has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for the inconvenience. I tried tech support at school and was told to uninstall and reinstall the program. During the installation process I received the following error: Error 1321 The installer has insufficient privileges to modify the file C:/Program Files/Adobe/Reader 9.0/Reader/Onix32dll. I need this program for school. Can some one please help me.

Hello again, Michael,
Was unable to do the UAC changes. Buttons where not highlighted. I just went ahead and uninstalled Adobe and downloaded Foxitsoftware and it works. Thanks for all your help Michael you have made my online school experience better.

Subject: Need help with installation
Hello again, Sherri:
It's my pleasure to provide assistance when I can :•) Having just recently graduated after 7 years of effort just to get a 2-year degree, I can relate to needing software to get class work accomplished. I will do everything I can to make it happen for you today.
Since you didn't mention, the UAC setting, I'd like you to disable it for me if it isn't already:
1. Open Control Panel
2. Under User Account and Family settings, click on the "Add or remove user account"
3. Click on any user account
4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
5. Under "Make changes to your user account", click on the "Change security settings" link
6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer - do so when ready
You may need to uninstall/reinstall Reader after the reboot in order for the problem to go away, but that part I am not certain of. Try to duplicate the issue prior to taking that step.
If you are unable to resolve issues with Adobe Reader, I recommend using a different reader that has much less bloat and is updated regularly:
http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/
FoxIT is a FREE alternative to using Adobe's Reader. Support for free Adobe products is limited forums such as this. The same holds true for open source alternatives except the manufacturer usually helps support their forums while Adobe doesn't monitor this forum or any like it. I know how important it is for you to focus on your classes so don't beat your head against a wall just because Reader won't work when a viable solution exists.
Best of success in your pursuit of knowledge!

Setting Up New FCP5 HD Bay -- Need Help

I'm setting up an HD edit bay for a friend, and I have a number of questions. Any help would be a godsend.
Basically, he's got a G5 with Final Cut Studio installed, a Motu audio interface, a Mackie Mixer, a Decklink Pro HD dual link, M-audio LX4 5.1 speakers, and a DVD/VHS recorder. He has one 250G internal capture drive, and one external 1TB firewire G-Raid. He's running a 23" and 20" Cinema Displays, and a Panasonic 32" HD LCD Flatscreen.
He wants to rent decks per project for capture and output.
My questions is this, how do we output to SD VHS/DVD or other formats for clients? Do we need a Switcher? Is it possible to do format conversion in Final Cut and output via Firewire instead of decklink to SD devices?
Also, is SDI (serial digital interface) cross-platform from SD to HD? Kramer Electonics has an interesting format converter that supports SDI, but will that change HD to SD? Here is a model number and link. FC-7402
http://www.kramerelectronics.com/indexes/item.asp?pic=71
Kramer also has a firewire format converter that looks interesting. FC-20

One of the Mac Vendors suggested the Blackmagic Multibridge Extreme, which sounds perfect, but costs $2000 - 3000.
I'm looking for a low cost alternative, if possible.
I really need help from someone experienced with this. I'm a freelance editor who cuts offline mostly on Avid for episodic TV, but my friend master HD out of his Mac edit suite. This is new territory for me.
Thanks in advance.

You should setup your local DNS to resolve only for the 'film.lab.' domain. Any requests that your local DNS will not be authoritative for should be forwarded to your district's DNS server. You should also set your local DNS to allow recursion only for clients on the 10.x.x.x subnet. The failure of clients configured to use your DNS for name resolution could be due to rules that have bee setup on your district's edge router to block outbound and inbound port 53 requests for all internal clients.
If you set your server and clients to use your district's DNS server as the secondary for your zone, you must make certain that any hostnames within your local zone are defined on your district's DNS to resolve to the private, 10.x.x.x, subnet that you will be running your systems on. If you don't -and your DNS goes down and there is no secondary defined on the clients that contains the zone info for your subnet- your clients won't be able to find any hosts. If you wish to run services that will be accessible from the Internet on your local server, this may require your network admins to make changes to routing to allow those request to be pass from the public network to the private one.
Also, if your district runs a central DHCP server you will need your district network admins to setup their DHCP server to return the correct client settings for your DNS and search domains for the clients within your subnet. If they do run a central DHCP server, do not attempt to set up a local one for your subnet. If you do, the probability that you will receive a very angry phone call from a not so happy fellow at your district is very high.

New internal order type--need help

Dear all:
i have a case need help.
now i want to create a new internal order type ,and assign a new number range and a default settlement rule to it .
the settlement rule is that the actual costs of this internal order type need to be
sent to a cost element .
what should i do step by step?
thanks!
best regards!

Hi,
2. Order Master Data
2.1 Define Order types (KOT2_OPA)
IMG Controlling  Internal Orders Order Master Data  Define Order Types
An Internal order is created under an Order type. An order type is used for storing various control parameters and various defaults while creating an internal order. It is used for classifying various types of internal orders according to usage for e.g. Real orders for trade fairs, real orders for Capital investment measure, Statistical orders for motor vehicle expenses.
The order type is client-specific, which means that every order type can be used in all controlling areas. A number range is assigned to the internal order type.
Click on New Entries
Take a drop in the field Order category and select 01
Enter
Update the following
Give Order Type :- Z810
Description :- Traders First Real order type
Object Class :- OCOST overhead
Reference Order :- Collective order without automatic goods movement
Residence time 1 :- 12 months
Residence time 2 :- 1 month
Check Commit Management and Check Integrated Planning
Activate CO Partner Updating -You activate this so that allocations between orders and other CO objects (cost centers, projects, etc.), the partner information is retained and whether for each order a totals record should be written.
Save
Click on Field Selection
Here you can hide the various fields or make it as required entry or only display or available for input. Thus while creating internal order only those fields are displayed and available for input.
Click Save
2.2 Maintain Number Ranges for Orders (KONK)
IMG Controlling  Internal Orders  Order Master Data Maintain Number Ranges for Orders
Number Range needs to be assigned to the internal order type. Number range can be internal or external. In Internal numbering system automatically assigns a number from the given number range. In external numbering the user has to manually assign the number from the given number range.
We will configure internal number range for our internal order type Trade Fair
Click on Group Maintain (From the menu bar)
Click on Group  Insert (From the menu bar)
Update the following
From Number: - 910000000000
To Number: - 919999999999
Click in plus icon at the left bottom of the screen
Click Save
You will find internal order type Z810 in not assigned
You need to assign the order type to the group we created above. Proceed as follows:-
Position the cursor on: - Z810 Trade Fair real order type
Click on Arrow Z810 Trade Fair real order type note it turns blue
Select Check mark Z810 A ltd India fair real order
Click Element Group
The internal order type Z910 moves under the group which can be seen as follows:-
Z810: A Ltd India Trade fair real order / Z810 Trader Fair real order type.
Click Save
Select: - Z810: A Ltd India Trade fair real order / Z810 Trader Fair real order type.
Click on Pencil icon.
Click Back arrow.
2.3 Define Model Orders
IMG Controlling Internal Orders Order Master Data Screen Layout
Define Model Orders
Model orders are not orders in the commercial sense, but serve merely as references for creating "normal" orders. Model orders contain default values for the orders in an order type. The Model order is assigned as the reference order in the order type.
When you create a new order, all the fields active in the relevant order type are copied from the model order to the new order.
Example
You want to settle all your marketing orders to the same sales cost center. Stipulate the cost center as the default value in the model order for marketing orders.
When you create a new marketing order, the system defaults this cost center. If you want to settle the order to a different cost center, you can overwrite the default cost center in the orders.
We will create a model order with some defaults and assign it to the Trade fair internal order type
Click Create CO Model Order
Press F4 and select ($$) 03 model order
Click on the master data and update the following
Order: - $$$ Z81000001
Description text: - A Limited Trade affair
Click Save
Assign this model order to the order type Z810
Update the reference order with the model order number $$$Z81000001 in the reference order field
Click on save.

New to color correction - need help on too bright shot

Need help to fix this shot! I've been messing around with color corrector 3 way and nothing seems to help. I'm new to color correction and would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Jenny

When you see white pixels in an overexposed shot, it means that there's often no pixel data to work with.
While the best option is a reshoot (this time with proper monitoring), you may want to try the "Captain's Blowout Fixer" filter available here: http://pistolerapost.com/pluginz/index.html
It let's you looks to see which color channel has the most remaining pixel data (if any) and work with it to overcome production screw-ups like this. Make sure you watch the tutorial on how to properly use the filter.

New to Indesign and need help on layout

Hi there
I have a small invitaiton business and have recently started using Indesign (steep learning curve). I have designed a wedding suite for a bride and it is ready to go off to the printers. My problem is i have recently changed printers and these guys print on size SRA3 and charge for set up costs if I dont supply all my setup in this size.
I dont know how to do this! Is there a simple way i can take my one invitation and place it multiple times on a SRA3 setup without copying and pasting. Plus all my crop marks and bleeds need to line up.
ANy help would be really appreciated.
thanks
Nerissa

I really did not want to say more about this but your attitude is ....
Who are you that you think you know every printers setup and requirements, who are you to say that a person must not go to there prefered printer for work.
What the hell does a car got to do with printing, NOTHING. Keep on topic!
You say modern workflow, so your saying every print shop in every town in every country has exactly the same equipment as your printer has and whats needed to handle your unprofessional approach to laying out graphics, wake up will ya every print house in every town can be different your arrogance in assuming every print house can reproduce your improperly prepared graphics is just going to cause trouble.
Refering back to the original post. I did not see the name of the printer they where sending the job to, do you know them personally to insist that your way is the best way to reproduce the job. NO!
You do not know them yet you jumped on my suggestion and it was only a suggestion that could lead to an idea for getting the job done. You called it BS yet every working day at my work I follow that sort of work flow for a number of reason. No it is not modern Yes it does work everyday.
You thinking that your way is the only way is no help to anyone in here.
This forum is for everyone, if I take the time to suggest something so be it, it is not your job to judge if my suggestion is wrong.
Be a help not a hinderance and keep your arrogance outta the forum.
P Taz:
Bob's main problem is this modern workflow chip on his shoulder, not everyone has the latest and greatest hardware and software. Adobe is printing longer then I care to think back on, and they have many different ways of doing this job and many of these are still in use. Modern is all fine and dandy if you have it.
I am not happy with using obsolete processes but that is what I have to work with. I absorb a lot that is said in these forums not all I can use yet but its good to see the changes in technology. Everyone as a designer has to keep in mind the Printshop that is printing there work
I never came in here with the intention to revert people, I only suggested a way to get a job done even you do not know what equipment the printer has to reproduce the OP problem. How in gods name can a suggestion be wrong for this forum even you have fallen for bob's inability to realise there are still people out in the real world not using the most modern workflow equipment and these people need help.
It is no good you just saying update update update. The job needs doing with what they have, later when money permits or whatever then talk to them about modern workflows.
And lastly goes out my appology to the original poster, I am very sorry this has gone as far as it has.
Bob... Lighten up!

[Solved]voip in arch linux

Hi
I just joined the arch bandwagon 2 weeks ago form ubuntu.
I like to know what voip software do u use in arch linux because skype is not officially supported ?

Arch Linux has helped me learn and I am grateful.

I am going to tell you what sparked this thread first: I was reading your wiki on installing a 32bit bundled system into a 64bit system. And NO, I did not know what the heck was going on as usual. The thing is I am always curious. That is why I end up learning. Here is what sparked me... I got to the 'sed' command and did NOT understand what was going on and I dove in! What a wonderful and amazingly, useful tool. Instead of just copying commands such as:
# sed -e 's/\$arch/i686/g' /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist > /opt/arch32/mirrorlist
# sed -e 's@/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist@/opt/arch32/mirrorlist@g' -e '/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,' /etc/pacman.conf > /opt/arch32/pacman.conf
I took the command apart, tried it in various ways, made test files and learned what it all meant. This type of thing is happening over and over again while using Arch. Arch was extremely overwhelming at first but, I really like it that way, I tend to learn really fast this way. In the beginning it is REALLY hard though.
i have read about said and I know about substitute and global (s///g) but what through me off was -e '/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,' So I made a test file with Architecture in it.
echo "Architecture = auto" > test
then ran
cat test | sed -e '/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,'
Wow! Guys, I was so excited when I finally figured out what was going on. Through trial and error, I just learned some really cool things about said and also got better at seeing that you can use any character as the separator - like @ instead of /. See this makes me happy, when I figure something out like this. It is SO rewarding. Im like a kid at Christmas
So what is happening is I am getting this phenominal understanding of Linux by diving deep into Arch Linux. I have now swithced over my only computer to Arch Linux. I only really cared about a few windows programs and with wine I have one of them running!!
I just want to thank you all for such a great experience. I didn't know how much I love this stuff until I started with Arch Linux. Thanks again!

I wanted to learn too...so i have question.
Could somebody explain this? Also, what this is exacly
'/Architecture/ s,auto,i686,'
Let me show you by example...
echo "hello world" | sed 's/world/universe/'
echo "hello world" | sed 's,world,universe,'
echo "hello world" | sed 's@world@universe@'
Notice all of these are the same result. This is because you can use any character you like in place of the separator.
So when you look at this '/Architecture/ ***s.auto,i686,*** that is replacing the word 'auto' with 'i686'
The /Architecture/ is like using grep.
so if you have a file that looks like this
color1 = red
color2 = red
Easy way to make this in one command. Make sure and use $ and ' ' instead of " "
echo $'color1 = red\ncolor2 = red' > test
and run this
cat test | sed -e '/color1/ s,red,blue,'
same thing...
cat test | sed -e '/color1/ s@red@blue@'
also to prove its like grep
cat test | grep color2 | sed -e 's/red/black/'
sed is very powerful and awesome. There is WAY more than this.
