[Solved] Quick question about mkinitcpio upgrade

I just ran pacman -Syu and got the following message:
(4/8) upgrading mkinitcpio [######################] 100%
==> If your /usr is on a separate partition, you must add the "usr" hook
to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate your images before rebooting
I'm just wondering, what counts as a separate partition? My partitions contain:
/boot
/home
swap
My /usr is presumably on the / partition, which is "separate" from the boot partition where the kernel images are. Do I have to do anything?

THANK YOU MAAN...
I'm so GLAD that you post this here, it's 2 days ago I updated my Archlinux, and after update and reset I didn't use to login to it.
I know that problem should be near MKINITCPIO but I didn't know where.
But today I read your post and after it I boot to archlinux by liveISO and update mkinitcpio again with MISSED parameter "usr".
Well done boy...
Thank you so much
Have a nice day.

[SOLVED] Quick question about mirrorlist.pacnew

Is it safe to delete? Does it have to be merged?
I may have stupidly made a rash decision after an update to just delete after a quick glance through a wiki about it.
Is there a way to view with pacman -Q a chronological order or timeline of recently installed packages so I can try to re-install and generate another mirrorlist.pacnew ? (I understand that there is a way to query similar information about individual packages, but I simply don't remember which packages I upgraded last night).
Any help would be appreciated. I want to avoid any hiccups or future issues as my current setup has been super solid.

If your editor can't handle plain text files, I'd report it to the devs, that's a pretty big bug.
Regarding the pacnew, I usually delete it. If I have issues with my mirrors, I use reflector to generate a new mirrorlist.
Exactly!

[Solved] Quick question about yaourt

I was just wondering if it is save to update my regular packages with yaourt using 'yaourt -Syu --devel --aur' or 'yaourt Syua'. I've heard about problems with having to have root access to update regular programs and it's a very bad thing to build AUR packages while root. I want to be able to update my AUR packages like I can with 'pacman -Syu' and if I could do them all at the same time, well that would be even better.

Correct .

[solved] Quick question about Qt4

I am trying to create a PKGBUILD for QSvn, which requires Qt4. I installed Qt4:
pacman -S qt4
then
qt-config qt4
then,
source /etc/profile
So i know it is installed
to install QSvn you have to run:
cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release" ../src
I get this error (sorry for the foto, only way, could not output to text):
Any ideas...???

A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

Hello ,
I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3 for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
- I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
Thanks Ubergeeks,
Guy

Hi Guy
You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

Pran

QUICK QUESTION ABOUT PORTS

Hi, I have a quick question about port forwarding/mapping. My question, lets say I am running MSN messenger, who's ports are 6880-6900. But lets say I am running a torrent application or something else that requires those ports. If both applications were running at the same time, would this cause interference with them on the same ports or now. Thanks
Nathan

Normally, only one application can listen to a specific port number at a time. If MSN is grabbing those 21 ports then your torrent app won't be able to run.
However, most apps don't work that way - even if they use multiple ports, they don't use them all at the same time, so MSN might use 6880 when it starts up, leaving the others open for other applications to use if needed.
Only experimentation will answer that one.

Hi, I have quick question about use of USEBEAN tag in SP2. When I specify a scope of SESSION for the java bean, it does not keep the values that I set for variable in the bean persistent.Thanks,Sonny

Make sure that your bean is implementing the serializable interface and that
you are accessing the bean from the session with the same name.

Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
about it.
When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
Health, Port Utilization.
Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
Is there a way to make them functional?

Quick question about sim transfer

Hi all,
I have a quick question and hopefully one of you guys would be able to help me. My friend purchased his 3g iphone today and hes giving me his old iphone. I currently have a blackjack and I wanted to take the sims card from the blackjack and put into the original iphone. Will the iphone work with my sims card? It is an older sims card, says 64k on it. If not, would I have to bring it into at&t and get it activated w/a different sims card? Hopefully all this isnt confusing. Thanks for any help. Cheers!

You're welcome.
I guess that also means I would have to upgrade to the 20 dollar data plan without the text messages as well?
The unlimited data plan for the first generation iPhone still costs $20/mo and includes 200 SMS. The only thing you need to get from an at&t store is a new SIM card. Take the iPhone with you telling them what you plan on doing and they should give you a new SIM card at no cost.
You will activate this iPhone with iTunes on your computer. If you are an existing subscriber, your calling plan will transfer to the iPhone, and any existing data plan you are using with your current phone will be cancelled. If you are an existing subscriber, your only selection will be the $20/mo unlimited data plan which includes 200 SMS, and you can select 1,500 SMS for an additional $10/mo or have unlimited SMS for an additional $20/mo.

IMovie - quick questions about video files when importing and optimizing

Hi, have some quick questions. I think they are simple.
1. When I import a video (from say iPhoto), where does it get "Move" or "Copy" to?
2. Why would I want to do "Copy" instead of "Move", because isn't it then taking up more space?
3. I'm wondering if after I optimize a video, I can stash away the original (non-optimized video that I either "Move"d or "Copy"d earlier) into an external hd.
4. By the way, what is the new file name of the optimized video?
Though things are working fine in iMovie and iPhoto, I'm trying to manage hard disk space, and hope answers to these questions will help.
Do you guys have a guideline on how to manage hard disk space when it comes to iphoto and imovie?
Thanks.

As has been suggested you can encourage people to download QuickTime player by doing something like this...
http://www.mirroroftheuniverse.com/Songs.html
You can also present your songs like this...
http://roddymckay.com/Satellite/JukeBox.html
This is a SnoCap jukebox and you need an account to use it but you'll get the link to ESnips on the above page.
A 3 minute song has a file size of about 30 Mb in AIFF format. Converting it to MP3 reduces it to about 3.5 Mb and M4A to about 5.5 Mb.
iTunes will do these conversions for you and M4A is far superior to MP3 as far as sound quality is concerned.

Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

Hi there,
I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
Just a couple of quick questions.
1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file. Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead?
If so, should I delete the library and start again? (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
- a kind of sub-question to this one: some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD. Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes? Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes. The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes. When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes? Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
Cheers,

The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count. Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder. By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media. All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

Quick question about Quicktime media keys.......

I had a question about encoding video and media keys. It seems to me that the only codec that allows you to encode it with a media key is Sorenson (Sorenson 3 I think). Why are they the only ones that are enabling that in their codecs? Is it kind of a dying technology or practice? I've experimented with Sorenson 3 and Sorenson Squeeze trials and, even though it looks ok, it simply doesn't stack up to others like Apple's H.264 or open-source x264 or even Xvid. I guess I wish there were a way to be able to use media key options with all the new H.264 codecs. Is it possible to do that, either with Xcode or AppleScript? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

QuickTime has supported 'media keys" since version 3 but you can only add them using the third party software.
You would be better served by contacting Sorenson and asking them about their support for newer codecs.

[SOLVED] Basic question about x2go, freenx, etc. compatibility

My goal is to simply enable remote desktop on my soon to be headless server. Given the number of posts here at Arch explaining the trouble with freenx and the Arch support of x2go, I'm confused there is not more talk about their compatibility. And as I've just discovered, they're not:
"Various open source terminal server projects such as x2go also use the NX protocol; however, x2go is not compatible with other NX servers and clients." (NX Technology)
This leaves me in a bit of a pickle. CentOS doesn't support x2go, and Arch doesn't support freenx. What's the best interoperable solution then? Either a sever app which supports x2go or a client app that supports NXX?

CentOSers are very persnickty about how you're supposed to maintain your system in terms of non-core packages etc. etc. And x2go is not coming up in the forum, wiki, or in the repositories (via the commanline tool yum). Read the response to my question about installing vim7.4. Hell, you can do _whatever you want_ to your system, but that doesn't mean anyone's going to help you when you run into trouble.
That comment strikes me as perfectly reasonable. The comment is pointing out that you are trying to use the wrong tool to do the job. The tool in this case is the distro - CentOS is not intended to be used in this way (for this job). Of course, if you insist on using a spanner to hammer nails, you are free to do so. But you can't really expect your local DIY shop to help you use the spanner when the nails don't go in straight rather than suggesting you use a hammer instead.
It is just like somebody who comes here and asks how they can stick with a known-stable set of packages while getting security updates. That's not what Arch is designed for so if you try to use it that way, you'll have a hard time. Of course, you are free to do so if you wish. But if you ask for help, you'll be pointed to another distro because that is the right answer.
It has nothing to do with being "persnickty". The answer is the most helpful answer somebody can give you.
Note: I'm assuming the description of CentOS, Fedora etc. is correct. I know the description of Fedora to be correct but I don't actually know anything about CentOS. But on the assumption that description is also correct, that answer is the most helpful answer somebody could give you, even if it is not the answer you wanted to hear.

Quick Question about fade effect

Quick Question:
If I wanted to add a Fade Effect from one state to another
when a button is pressed.
How would I do that within the code?

fader.duration = 1000;
fader...;
fader.play();
or listen for currentStateChanging event and write the same
similar code.
or define transitions from one state to another like:
<mx:Transition id="toOneOnly" fromState="*"
toState="OneOnly">
<mx:Sequence id="t1" targets="{[p2]}">
<mx:Iris showTarget="false" duration="350"/>
<mx:SetPropertyAction name="visible"/>
<mx:SetPropertyAction target="{p2}"
name="includeInLayout"/>
</mx:Sequence>
</mx:Transition>
Hey,
I would like to use the "transition from one state to
another", but if you can explain each part for me that would be
helpful.
If you can comment on each line of that code that would help
thanks

Quick question about showing drive space

Hi,
Just got a quick query about showing remaining drive space on the desktop.
Before I wiped my Pismo and reinstalled Tiger (bad kernel panic), my hard drive and any other connected drives (pen drive, iPod, iDisk, etc) showed up on my Desktop with the name and drive capacity and remaining space underneath the icon.
Now I've reinstalled, the drive capacity and remaining space don't show up on the Desktop, and I can't find how to turn it on. I've been through Preferences several times and can't find an obvious switch. Have I missed something? I'm running Tiger 10.4.8 with the machine spec below.
Thanks in advance,
Rob Johnson
