[SOLVED]Searching for a way to change default kernel installation path

Hi,
( first of all SRY for my english )
I've set up a multi boot system onto an USB Stick - something like a personalized Recovery System. Currently I have a 32 and a 64bit version of Arch on it, but may I'll extend it with other distros...
OK, so far everything is running pretty fine, but every time I do a kernel upgrade I'm running into the following issue:
Since I'm using a shared boot partition where my GRUB and all of my Kernels (i686, c86_64) lie on. - I'm using the shared partition for technical reasons (MSDOS part table, max 4 primary partitions ).
I've organized my kernels in different directorys (e.g. i686, x86_64) and it is no problem to tell GRUB about this, but every time I do a Kernel upgrade the kernel is installed to its default location on /boot/vmlinuz-linux.
That has two side effects:
- I have to move the kernel "by hand" to the right directory
- I've changed the Kernel-Path in mkinitcpio.conf to /boot/xxx/vmlinuz-linux therefore mkinitcpio is not able to create the initramfs because it does not know about the right path
My current solution is, that I will move the kernel to the appropiate directory and execute mkinitcpio afterwards ... but sometimes it happens that I forget about that and my system is not able to start up again...
I've thought bout possible solutions via symlinks, mountbinds, shutdown scripts, etc. but I wasn't able to find a proper solution for that problems.
So far my (long) story. My specific question is, is it possible to change the default installation path of the kernel package? If so that will solve my problem in a elegant way .
Best regards,
gnux
PS.: I was thinking about something like a config e.g. in /etc/kernelpath ... whatever

Any way to change default point where iTunes creates thumbnail for videos?

Is there any way to change the default point in time where iTunes creates its own auto-generated thumbnail previews for videos when you drag them into your Library and view them all using the "Movies" section in the left panel?
So when you look at them all using Cover Flow view, for example.
I know you change the thumbnail for each video after the fact, or even batch-add thumbnail artwork for several videos at once, but that's not what I'm after...
I have a WHOLE LOAD of videos that are non-sensically named (Y1_D1-4, etc.), and I want to import them all into iTunes.
Of course I will also need to change the NAMES of these movies as well.
They are actually TV shows, which illustrates the following point:
What all these "movies" have in common is that their intro sequences are all EXACTLY the same length, before they then show the title of the particular show.
Now, if I could get iTunes to use this point in time as it's setting for creating default thumbnails, that would help me in two ways:
Firstly, it would create the thumbnail that I want, and secondly, it would also show me the title of the show, so I could easily re-name the file there and then, without having to scrub back and forth, to find the name of the show.
Any clues anyone...?

I don't have a direct answer to your question, but you can speed up what you're doing by pressing the "return" key after the first click instead of pausing, then clicking a second time.

Is there any way to change default background from bmp in Captivate 7 recordings?

Any time I make a recording, be it demo, training etc it always saves the captured background as a bmp in the library.
I can manually export, edit, then reimport each of the files as jpgs, which looses no quality but reduces the size of the published file by about 50%, and the project file itself by about 80%.
Is there a way to change the default capture mode to save me this massive chore each time I record a project? or some other way around it?

I have noticed this too, i.e. the captured background is BMP, and the capture images are PNG. For example, my command line terminal window backgrounds are 4070.57K versus about 32K to 65K when I convert them to PNG files. Our demonstration files can be enormous because of the BMP backgrounds. It would definitely be advantageous to have a recording setting for PNG versus BMP for the backgrounds in Captivate.

Looking for a way to change GTK2 colors in xfce

I am looking for a way to edit the colors in the GTK theme I am using in xfce, the way you could in gnome2. Lxappearance allows for this but xfce doesn't read the changes from it when I change it though that.
Can anyone suggest something that works? Preferable without having to edit configs by hand.

It is discussed on the xfce forums but unfortunately that solution requires editing by hand. However it does seem relatively easy to automate. Writing a graphical program for those tasks is something you'd only have to do once.

I am searching for a way to delete windows xp from my 2010 imac running yosemite 10.10.2

I am looking for a way to delete the windows xp, installed with bootcamp, from my 2010 intel Imac

All Boot Camp Assistant utilities only can remove the disk partition. That is unrelated to the version of Windows installed. However, if you have partitioned the drive using Disk Utility, then you may have a problem requiring the repartitioning of the entire drive back to a single volume. This will remove all the data on the drive.

Up2date -uf changes default kernel in grub config

I just built a new Oracle Linux 5.7 server and I configured it to boot into the Red Hat compatible kernel by default. After running up2date -uf to update all of the packages including the kernels, the grub config is automatically modified to boot back into the oracle uek kernel (default value gets switched back to 0). Is there any way to prevent the system update from changing the default kernel in the grub config?

So that fixed it I guess.
Before upgrade:
# UDPATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=no
# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel
After upgrade:
# UDPATEDEFAULT specifies if new-kernel-pkg should make
# new kernels the default
UPDATEDEFAULT=no
# DEFAULTKERNEL specifies the default kernel package type
DEFAULTKERNEL=kernel-uek
Also, the default value in grub.conf stays at 1 as opposed to being changed to 0. I don't understand this behavior though. Shouldn't the upgrade create an /etc/sysconfig/kernel.rpmsave or kernel.rpmnew file as opposed to just overwriting parts of the config file?

Change default kernel config

I'm unable to boot with the default kernel, since "BIOS Enhanced Disk Drive calls determine boot disk" is enabled.
One may wonder why is it enabled in default distro kernel anyway. Here a note
from kernel config:
"This option is experimental and is known to fail to boot on some obscure configurations. Most disk controller BIOS vendors do not yet implement this feature."
Maybe its just me, but I really dont consider my configuration as obscure :-)
It would be great if this was removed from the default kernel unless there is a reason for it to be there?
The problem occur when I have disks attached to the one of Promise controllers.

the acpi video module is reasonably new and it can be compiled as a module iirc, so it shouldnt be any harm to have it compiled as such.

Is there a way to change default Reminder List for new Reminders?

In iCal, I have Reminders showing. I have three Reminder Lists, but I've only got one List checked so only that List's Reminders show up. When I create a new Reminder, iCal always wants to create it in one of the unchecked Lists - always the same List, but not the one currently showing. I always have to finish creating the new Reminder, and then change it to be part of the other Reminder List. And, because iCal insists on creating the new Reminder in one of the unchecked (non-displayed) Lists, it checks the box for me so now I have to go an uncheck it again to restore the display of only one List.
Am I doing something wrong or is iCal Reminder creation just this clunky?
Is there some way to tell iCal to use a particular Reminder List for creating new Reminders in?

Duh. Found it right on the General tab of iCal's Preferences.
I really don't know how I missed that.

Looking for quicker way to change duration of file

Hello!
I work in a broadcast environment and we have just upgraded to Audition from CoolEdit. It was a much needed change and is much better, but there is one problem. When we are doing production, we are getting ads that come out to 29.2 or 28.3 seconds, etc. We need to be able to compress and expand our recordings. CoolEdit was able to shave seconds off within seconds, even with our longer programs that are running 3 minutes. Audition took 15 minutes this morning to take off two extra seconds. Is there a quicker way to do this?
Thanks!

The Stretch effect offers two different stretching algorithms: the default, based upon iZotope Radius and the legacy Audition algorithm. The iZotope algorithm is extremely high-quality and accurate, but requires a lot of processing and can be slow. The Audition algorithm is significantly faster, but you may hear artifacts beyond certain stretch percentages.
I'd recommend taking some of the content you've stretched using the iZotope algorithm, replicate it with the Audition algorithm, and preview to see if you notice a difference. If not, then you could consider using the Audition as the default for future projects which have a quick turn-around time.

Any way to change default treatment of placed graphics?

Every time I insert a graphic into an iWeb page, the default is for it to have a 6-point line stroke around it. I don't want this stupid stroke and must manually change that setting.
Is there some way to tweak iWeb's default so that it doesn't apply this?
Furthermore, the default width of inserted graphics is 300 pixels. Again, I don't want this as the default. Can I change it?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I am dropping pictures of banknotes into a blog page. I don't have the luxury of changing to a blank page design. I need to use blog entry pages.
Apple should heed the advise of user interface experts and retain settings as they were left by the user. In this case, I never want to have a stroke around a picture, but every time I insert one into the page, iWeb insists on putting it there.
That's infuriating. Obviously this is a preference item that doesn't have an exposed preference setting in the UI. I was hoping someone here could tell me how to tweak the preference file directly.

Photoshop CS5 HDR Toning - Any Way to Change Defaults?

I've been fooling with the Image > Adjust > HDR Toning... feature, and as long as one keeps the settings relatively conservative, the tool produces good results with little downside. It's really great for a landscape with a bright sky and dark trees.
However, the system defaults are pretty nasty... +20% Color Saturation? Now admittedly, the garish color DOES remind me to change the settings.
I've created my own settings and saved them as "Noels Defaults", but I don't see an obvious way to make these settings the default when the HDR Toning tool first starts up.
I admit, it's not a huge deal to select my own settings from the drop down list at the start of the run, but who, in the 21st century, programs a dialog without making the settings "sticky" or at least providing a way to set a better default? At least it remembers where I put it.
If you know a way I'm not thinking of to change the defaults for HDR Toning it'll save me a step and help me keep my mind on the editing job rather than on the editor.
Thanks.

Hi PonchoSloth13,
You may download the English version installer from: http://prodesigntools.com/all-adobe-cs5-direct-download-links.html and install it on you machine as a trial. However you will not be able to activate it with a German Language key. To activate the software in English you require English version key.

Is there a way to change default background colour?

Hi,
I am frequently embedding U3D files into adobe acrobat and every time I need to manually change the "default" background colour from grey to white in the Show Advanced Options tab of the insert 3D dialog box.
Is there a way to permanently set the default background for all inserted 3D files to white instead of the grey default?
Thanks!

No.

[SOLVED] Permission for a file is changing after reboot

I know it may seem to you like a silly question, but it's a terrible problem for me. I tried to change permission for a file using chmod 660 and it changed of course ( I did it as a root ), but after reboot it resumed to the previous state. It's rather critical file form /proc/acpi/video/... and I need it for brightness manipulation. It's a file with a direct access to my hardware, so I think there's somewhere protection mechanism in Arch and I don't know what should I change.
Thanks in advance

Although this works, surely changing the permissions on every boot is a little backwards.
As far as I'm aware it's permissions are set like that for a reason - it's a hardware control and as such should only be touched with privileged permissions (root). The 'real' way to do this would probably be to use sudo and set up the sudoers file such that you don't need to use a password as a regular user.
That's just my two cents though... and if I'm honest, it's just me being really pedantic you can do it how you like!
