[solved] Qt apps do not respect GTK settings

Hello,
Qt apps such as Virtualbox do not respect my GTK settings. The font should be Noto Sans and the icon theme should be Faenza.
Here is a comparison between Virtualbox and Nemo File Manager: http://i.imgur.com/oxWXW2w.png
My settings:
In qtconfig-qt4 I set Select GUI Style: GTK+.
~ $ cat .config/Trolltech.conf

audiosink=Auto
videomode=Auto
GUIEffects=none
~ $ cat .gtkrc-2.0
# DO NOT EDIT! This file will be overwritten by LXAppearance.
# Any customization should be done in ~/.gtkrc-2.0.mine instead.
gtk-theme-name="Adwaita"
gtk-icon-theme-name="Faenza"
gtk-font-name="Noto Sans 9"
gtk-cursor-theme-name="Adwaita"

include "/home/orschiro/.gtkrc-2.0.mine"
In .xinitrc:
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0"
gconf settings:
~ $ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme
Adwaita
~ $ gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme
Faenza

Thanks ooo.
Via qtconfig I can set the GTK theme (as per use GTK settings) and the font.
However, what I cannot change is the used icon set. Although gconftool-2 -g /desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme is set to Faenza it is not set for Qt apps.
I assume this has to do with me running Openbox and somehow missing a required gconf component being launched.
Is someone successfully running a WM configuration with the correct icon set for Qt apps?

HT201299 After installing an app on iPhone 5s, I can't use it outside of wifi (using cellular or mobile data) and the app is not listed in settings to enable its use of mobile data - any clues on what is wrong here?

After installing an app on iPhone 5s, I can't use it outside of wifi (using cellular or mobile data) and the app is not listed in settings to enable its use of mobile data - any clues on what is wrong here?

Steps to take to resolve this issue:
1/ Turn off Wifi
2/ Ensure Mobile (cellular) data is on
3/ Turn iPhone OFF and then ON (re-boot iPhone)
4/ Without turning Wifi on, open an app that requires mobile (cellular) data.
5/ The app will now show on the Settings list with the option to enable or disable mobile (cellular) data
6/ In time all apps that require or use mobile data will be added to the list automatically.

[SOLVED] Monitor display modes not respected ! (VirtualBox)

Hi I've created a new 10-monitor.conf file at /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-monitor.conf
check it here : http://pastebin.com/4rC5ijXd
But when I reboot the computer and get on my gnome-session, it doesn't respect the preferred mode and when I go on System Settings>Display I stil can only use theses resolutions : 1024x768 and 800x600 !
How can I fix it ?
Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention I also tried with random and I got an error like it's not possible to go further than 1024x768 dimensions, I also forgot to mention that I do it in a Virtual Box (OSE) Machine.

My ipod freezes and no apps open, not even the settings app

ive tried restoring and using the homebutton and power button technique but there is no change,

Then you have a hardware issue. Contact Apple.

[SOLVED] Xfce composite settings are not respected

I have come across a problem with the Xfce composite manager. I enable this primarily to have conky draw transparently on the desktop wallpaper, but then found shadows and transparency did not cause much more impact on performance after enabling composite effects in the first place.
But now I'm experiencing that some settings in the Tweaks settings menu are not respected. For instance, I've enabled transparency both when moving and resizing windows, but they only turn transparent when moving them. Also, I've enabled transparency for notifications, which to my understanding includes the desktop right-click menu, but they are opaque. Anybody else experience this? I've tried turning composite effects off, logging out and back in and turning them on again. No luck there. Also, if you should know where these settings are stored (text file somewhere/Xconf...) I'd be happy to inspect them
Thank you!

stqn wrote:Uh? I really don't see why the desktop right-click menu would be using notifications' opacity setting... Anyway here it works as expected (notifications are transparent, not the menu.)
Now it does for me as well. The reason I thought the menu was a part of it was because it became transparent when I enabled notification transparency the first time but this behaviour went away after a logoff-login I think.
The big problem I'm struggeling with now is still the fact that xfwm does not respect the settings as found in Xfconf / Settings -> Tweaks. The shadows on the borders won't go away no matter what I do; however and I'm able to turn off the resize/move transparency in-session. When I log out and back in again, the behaviour reverts, although the settings as I set them remain unchanged =_=
If anything, does anybody know how to return all of xfwm's settings to the default, so I can start over? All I really need compositing for is transparent conky anyways....
EDIT: Okey, it seems this has something to do with the xfwm theme I use :s after switching to other themes in the list I am suddenly in control of the composite effects again... Does this mean that the theme I use stores info on what composite effects it should use??

Other apps don't respect Contact Sort and Display order

I just noticed this on my iPhone 4 and am wondering if anyone else has seen that the Map and Mail apps do not respect the 'Sort Order' and Display Order' settings that are chosen in 'Settings'.
I'm referring to when you get access to your contacts list when inside these apps (when you are composing a new email in Mail and use the '+' icon in the 'To:' & also when in Maps when using the 'contacts icon' to load an address in the 'Search' or 'Direction' fields.
On my iPhone 4 these two apps have the Sort and Display order apparently hardwired in that they don't change the ordering when it is changed in 'Settings'. It used to be that the contact list would always update everywhere to respect the odering chosen in 'Settings'. I thought that this must be an OS issue but for some strange reason on my old iPhone 3G that also has iOS 4 on it, I don't see this seemingly incorrect behavior....so at least in my case it is hardware specific.

1. I have a simlar problem with my new iPhone.
2. Settings configured to be "Last, First" (both sort&display).
2a. The Contacts app does not following this setting, but...
2b. The Phone app contact list correctly follows the setting.
3. In Settings app, configured to be "First, Last" (both sort& display).
3a. The Contacts app follows this setting
3b. The Phone app contact list follows this setting.
4. Could be that the Contacts app does not depend on the Settings (hard-coded?).

Please help me. My YouTube app will not work. Every time I open it says 'cannot connect to youtube'. I have searched for help and tried resetting my settings and rebooting my ipad2 but nothing has solved the issue.

Please help me. My YouTube app will not work. Every time I open it says 'cannot connect to youtube'. I have searched for help and tried resetting my settings and rebooting my ipad2 but nothing has solved the issue.

Yes, I am connected to the Internet through my wifi. Everything is working fine with the e eption of youtube. I have reset all Internet settings and have tried synching to iTunes followed by rebooting. This is all the advice I have found although none of it has been helpful.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

TS1702 My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem?

My app store, Apple ID, safari, and most other apps do not work after upgrading to iSO 6, How do i solve this problem? Can somebody help me please?

The App store is a problem for many and I have not seen a solution.
What is "wrong" with your Apple ID?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.

Not a happy Apps Store customer - changing country settings

I got the following problem and raised it a few times with NO reply from Apple which is very dissapointing and reflection of surprisingly poor customer service from Apple (with the exception of the customer service here in HK who came back to me quickly. But they could not sort it out for me).
This year I moved from Australia to Hong Kong and changed without being aware of the consequences the store settings in itunes/apps Store.
Unfortuntately I got a few apple devices: 2 MBAs, ipad2, ipad, iphone which where purchased in Australia and in Hong Kong. One consequence of switching the country settings is that on all my devices the apps are not in sync and that I lost all my Australian apps. Its a complete chaos with my apps on different devices and I really regret that I spent money on the app store and now got an issue on how to sort out this mess.
I read the T&G's and I'm aware of the country specific licences agreement but somehow apple should be able to help their customers in sorting out these constraints due to different laws in different countries. I don't believe one should be a lawyer to buy an app on the app store and to understand the legal implications when buying an app. It's not really the problem of the end consumer who buys legally the licence for an app and then moves country and suddenly doesn't have access to the purchased app anymore. The end-consumer already paid the licence for the app.
But Apple makes this a big problem for the end consumer of and I'm worried what to do with my apple devices and my apps. The problem is that we currently got ipad for work so I need to get some apps from the store for my work.
And I'm really ****** off because its now my problem and of the mess on my devices which all got different versions of the apps. My idea was to have all my devices synced so if I loose one device I could easily get a new one and sync it with itunes/app store/cloud as the single source of the truth.
As a conclusion of above I'm now a very critical user of Mac/Apple Products and I make people, friends and business partner aware of this limitation and problem with the app store. I'm also for the first time looking forward to get my hands on samsung device as it doesn't really seem to matter anymore if my apps/data are automatically in sync as apples promise of a cloud based 'play and have it anywhere" is an empty promise.
A very disillusioned customer (happy to switch to the competition)

Thank you both for your very instructive and helpful reply. I can see that open discussions are strongly encouraged in this forum.
@HACKINT0SH: if I remember one of your replies to another user with a similar problem of switching country setting you recommended to download all apps before switching but with the "side effect" that one will loose the ability to receive updates of the purchased apps once the country setting is switched.
What exactly is the lesson learned?
An app or a program is useless if you can't download updates as the app will be unsupported or won't work in future OS releases.
Hence your suggestion to download all apps before switching is only a short sighted work around solution which doesn't solve the issue of how to receive updates for the apps you bought in your previous country.
@Dah veed: I hope that above reply explains the problem of users switching apple store due to personal circumstances and not being able to continue using their purchased apps anymore. I didn't screw my country settings as I only moved from one country to the other without being able to move my apps with me. That's all and I would like to make people aware of this problem.
I only replied to both of you because I found your replies very entertaining and also proves to me that apple is not monitoring their "technical" support forum.
As a customer who is trying to help finding answers to problems I will nevertheless raise a formal complaint to apple instead of responding to both of you via this post. Perhaps this forum is indeed not the right forum to help solve this problem.

Gtk apps do not use qtcurve

I set gtk2 apps to use qtcurve and have qtcurve-gtk2 installed. ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 seem to be set correctly, yet gtk2 apps refuse to adhere to qtcurve style, they just use oxygen style. I do not have oxygen-gtk2 installed or gtk-qt-engine.

Solved.
I am using kde-gtk-config from AUR and the ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and ~/.gtkrc-2.0-kde4 created by it were conflicting with other files.
I had to delete ~/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc-2.0 as well as ~/.kde4/share/config/gtkrc

Settings (and other Apps) Will Not Start (Metro)

This morning most Modern Apps will not start on my system, including the Settings app. It seems to be a DCOM failure and seems directly related to this old thread.

This is a current Windows 8.1 installation, full up to date on patches, and the problem still occurs after rebooting. I checked for newly installed patches, etc. and the only thing recent was the Windows Defender definitions update.
It's an i7 with 32 GB of RAM, fast SSD's etc. I don't believe this is a hardware problem in any way.

That matches almost exactly with the referenced thread. But that thread never seemed to give a set of steps to resolve the issue (other than doing a Refresh which would be a catastrophic waste of time, reinstalling my whole development environment).
I really would appreciate some help resolving this issue. If I'm in the wrong forum, please move or suggest a more appropriate place.
Thanks,

Since upgrading to the newest version of ios 8, I can no longer share my photos on facebook. I have tried going to setting-photos, but the facebook app does not show up for me to change the settings. Any suggestions?

when you opened the shared library with the newer version of iPhoto (iPhoto '11) you were given a warning that your library would be converted and could not be used by older versions - you clicked ok to go ahead - there is no updo available - either upgrade to iphoto '11 of the MBP or load your backup of the iPhoto '09 library on it - older versiopns of i{Photo can not read newer libraries

I tried to add my Planner Plus to my calendar and it gave me a message that says "This app does not have access to your calendars." You can enable access in Privacy Settings. But when I go to Privacy Seettings, there are no apps listed under Calendar.

I am trying to access my calender in the app Planner Plus and I get the message. "This app does not have access to your calendars." You can enable access in Privacy Settings. But when I go to Privacy Settings, there are no apps listed under Calendar. Anyone?

Oh my gosh. This worked perfectly!!!
After allowing the changes, I just had to open the apps again (such as Instagram), then the pop-up asking to allow access to Photos appeared!
And I thought I was going to get rid of my iPhone 4 already because of the issue.

Hal settings for synaptic/keyboard not respected anymore (Gnome2.28)

I have a 11-x11-synaptics.fdi config-file with my synaptics settings and a 10-keymap.fdi file with my keyboard layout set.
After upgrading to Gnome 2.28 yesterday, these settings are not respected anymore. I get US layout, and a touchpad where tapping and RTCornerButton and RBCornerButton does not work. Setting tapping manually in Gnomes mouse settings gui makes it work, but only for tapping.
The strange thing is that the same thing happens when logging in to lxde. As I can't see any x.org-packages that have been installed, this confuses me. Could it be gdm related? Has any other things mouse- and keybpard-related been updated just now?
I updated on the 09.10, and I'm pretty sure everything worked fine (didn't use my laptop much the last couple of days). However, when I updated again the 13.10, yesterday, mouse and keyboard settings broke.
This seems sort of related to this post, but he mentions only keyboard layout, and mine has surely worked since then.
A bug? A Feature? Me being stupid?
I have looked trough the pacman.log/warnings, I promise!

I'm also having problem with Gnome not respecting my Hal settings. After enabling tapping in gnome-mouse-properties it mostly works, but for some reason TapButton2 and TapButton3 are reversed, ie. TapButton2 = 3 and TapButton3 = 2. I can't find any way of configuring the TapButtons in Gnome either, which is really stupid.
I guess I can somehow make sure that synclient sets these correctly, but is there no way of telling gnome to either set the corrent values or to not touch the settings at all? Not running gnome-settings-daemon is not an option for me, since it sets a lot of other things that I want.

[Solved] Xfce4.8: App shortcuts not working after update

Hello,
since pacman upgraded my Xfce to 4.8, my application shortcuts are no longer working. I especially need them to emulate a third button with Super_L and bind the netbook function keys for audio volume/muting to amixer calls. I already tried to rebind all shortcuts, but that didn't help. Any ideas?
Edit: I already tried https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xf … 7t_working, but this didn't help
Edit2: Solved it. Apparently I lost xfce4-settings-helper during the migration from 4.6. So I restarted it manually and then saved my session.

I am not bothering with windows 10 my friend, it is too much of an newbe baby at the moment and there are just too many bug fixes need doing in my opinion. I did manage to get my dolby home theatre to work again in windows 10, but it was an awful dulled down version with only half the features of the original that came with the version that was on my pc. My plan is to stick to windows 8.1 until it's death. When they withdrawl all the security patches for windows 8.1 and it becomes obsolete, then I will be forced to trash my pc again and go to windows 10, was not much fun mind spending 3.5 days putting everything back to its former state. Hope they do make windows 10 more stable and fix a lot of the bugs. I tried opening videos and pictures in windows 10.... result = missing element errors.... and error, error, error,,, So I think I will wait until 28 July 16 to when the last day of my free upgrade and reservation to windows 10 becomes mandatory. (This is I day before my year to upgrade expires). Thanks for your post. Will
