[Solved] Small issue with .Xresources/.Xdefaults

So I originally made a lot of URxvt settings, first in .Xdefaults and later converted to .Xresources.
Then I decided to do what I wanted to do using command line parameters instead, so obviously I removed the settings again from .Xresources and didn't think more of it.
Now however, I've just realized that some of the settings still apply, even without command line parameters and I can't figure out why. They are certainly not in .Xdefaults as it does not exists, nor is it in .Xresources.
In short I'm confused and would very much like some help.
Best regards.

Use load instead of merge. Either that or unset those options in the file, then merge, then feel free to clear out the file.
Unsetting is different than just removing the setting. The parameter "merge" should be a hint - it merges the current database with what is in the file provided. If there is nothing in the file, nothing in the database is changed. Load on the otherhand should reload a clean database with only the options in the provided file. If that fails explicitly unsetting, merging, then clearing the file will do it.
Also, you may want to consider keeping your settings in there, but just changing the class name. Then you can launch different versions of your terminals or apps by just passing a name to them rather than passing several parameters.
-load didn't do the trick and as for unsetting, I predict some trouble, but I'll try my best and return in a bit.
For now, thanks.

HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
#1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
#2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
#3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
#4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
#5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
#6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
#7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
#8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.

Small issue with media player after install of 4.5 OS

I have the BB Curve 8330 and recently upgraded the OS to the new 4.5.0.56
So before the upgrade I could be listening to tunes and when a call or email or message came in the tunes would only stop during the notification. Now however the tunes will not restart and I have to manually navigate back to the media player.
Is there a setting somewhere that I can not find or am I stuck with this now?

Should I buy a new MBP? (Lots of small issues with mine)

Hi,
There are a number of small but irritating problems with my MBP. Talking with a friend who has had her macbook into apple service 3 times now for replacements a lot more serious than my problems, I'm sure Apple won't replace the computer. A friend who has bought a couple MBPs now (later week version) has had very little problem with his.
Specifically, the issues I'm having are as follows:
1) CPU whine (I know this can't be fixed)
2) Fan "moo"/clunk. The computer sounds like a small helicopter at times and at the best of times is always noisy..
3) Heat issues - using the comp anywhere but on a flat surface (i.e. on my lap) and it heats up intensely. I know this is an issue with all computers, but compared to my powerbook it's night and day.
4) Lag Issues. Doing ANYTHING takes a "long" time. I need to reformat but from opening firefox to booting up the computer or even sometimes mousing over the icon tray.
5) Red headphone led. My internal speakers no longer work. I've read the problem has something to do with the headphone jack being stuck. Some fixes I've read include using a match stick, plugging in the headphones again (doesn't work).
6) My display flickers slightly now also. Seems to synch with the fan "moo"ing.
I'm using macintosh now because I like avoiding hassles. I switched from PC a few years ago after going through lots of issues and the powerbook was AWESOME. I'm assuming the macbookpro is going to eventually stabilize and work well also, is it there yet? Shall I buy a new one and just dump the current or will it be the same thing all over?
Macbook Pro / 12" Powerbook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Thanks for all the advice, it's appreciated. Particularly the advice to go down to the mac store and talk to a guru. I'm going to do that tomorrow.
I've been able to tolerate things up until the latest bug, the fan now periodically starts spinning like a helicopter. It's way beyond anything I've dealt with.. I can't listen to music it's so loud and it disturbs anyone else around (clearly needs a fix).
I can't send it in to be repaired as I can't do without a computer for that long. This said I thought to connect the new and old machine and copy the most important files over.
(No I won't dump this lemon on someone else without letting them know about the issues. It may well be worthwhile to someone willing to nurse it through the various mac warranty & update issues. Eventually they may well end up with a new MBP).

Help solve these issues with the n97

Owner of a black N97. Software ver.: V.11.0.021(.238.01) - 19.06.2009
Type: RM-505
The issues I have.
1. The alarm clock sometimes goes off 3-4-5 min, later than it was set. Ex. set alarm for 8am, and it goes off at 8:04, 8:05.
2. Contacts. Prev. I had the E50. I have all my contacts now in the N97's mem, so no numbers/contacts are on the sim card. The problem. I have a contact that has multiple phone numbers. When I get a call from the person neither the name or the picture assigned to her will show up, just the number. **bleep**? 600 euro phone
3. I left the phone to charge at night. I wake up in the morning it shows 2 bars. I restart the phone it shows fully charged (7 bars).
4. Laggy orientation issues, sometimes the phone can't make up it's mind in what mode it should be.
5. Sometimes the keyguard switch doesn't do it's job, have to slide it 2-3 times. For example, you have the screen locked. You slide the camera's protective cover. You use the keyguard switch.... once, nothing happens. You have to slide it again (2-3) times so it finally unlocks the screen/keys.
6. Once I turned on the cam, video mode, lights on (used the phone's leds as a ligh in the night, walked for about 10 min. like this and the next thing I know when I want to turn it off.... the phone doesn't respond, freezed up, had to turn off, and when I did I had the nokia logo and an ugly red line across the screen, turned it back on, worked again....
Sorry if I ask/talk about things that have been discussed/solved before.
Hope to get feedback from someone on the issues I have especially for the contacts issue and if maybe somebody could tell me what dimentions does the caller id image should be so that I have no issues with it?
Thanks in advance.
(PS: Despite the issues I ran into even after I updated from v.10 to v.11 I like the phone and I really hope that newer software updates will solve the issues we have. BTW I advise you all not to use themes. Altho I am a big customization fanatic myself, my old E50 teached me a lesson. If it's not nokias shipped with the device theme, it's gonna cause you problems. No more will I install and use custom themes. It just makes your phone crash and do very very weird things. (and the themes I used were from babinokia not just some hillbilly site). One of my big dissapointments with the E50 was that I could not change / set a custom image as fullscreen wallpaper. It only showed a cropped version of the image on the middle of the screen. In order to change the wallpaper u had to find a theme.)

Upgrade to V12? Might help on some issues.
As for the contacts problem, I can report that it works fine for me, and I have several numbers on most of my contacts.
This problem is usually because the same number exists on more than one contact. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to actually search for which contacts might have a number, so the only sugegstion I can offer is that you search through every entry in your phone book, and see if you can't find the same number on more than one contact.
Don't forget to also check the entries on the SIM card, especially if you have set th phone to use both phone and SIM.

[SOLVED]Some issues with fresh arch install.

I freshly installed arch after a pretty long period of time of using other distributions and forgot how many issues I have to deal with when using it.
Alsamixer does not detect my headphones when i plug them in...(does not mute / unmute automatically speakers / headphones)
And another issue with the xorg server i think, I have a notebook and after every reboot i have to look up after touchpad with xinput --list then --setprop <id>. How can I make it permanent? It's annoying.
Last edited by dede24ever (2014-12-27 22:11:08)

Add a command to toggle the auto-mute with the same key, perhaps?
Anyway, that command in my i3 set up does not effect the auto-mute mode so there may be something else going on in your system.
Ooops -- my mistake, my system does that as well...
Maybe something to do with pulseaudio -- I didn't have pulseaudio when I used i3 and I didn't notice that problem then.
EDIT: It might be wise to open a fresh thread for this specific problem -- be sure to use a descriptive title to get the attention of the sound experts (not me!).

[SOLVED] Touchpad issues with Eee 900A, only with Arch.

Hi guys, posting here because I'm having a hard time tracking down this issue.
I recently aquired an Eee PC 900A, which I have running the 2-09 arch build no prob, but I'm having one massively annoying issue with the touchpad under X.
Whenever I lift my finger and replace it on the touchpad, at anything but super slow speed (and sometimes even then), the cursor will jump, an in or so back..
Now I thought this might be a hardware issue, so I've tried booting into different distros (after trying tons of configs for the synaptics driver in xorg.conf), and this dosen't occur in the Xandros distro that ships with the Eee, or in Eeebuntu..
I'm pretty certain it's not a config issue, Eeebuntu uses hal, I've tried using hal, and dozens of xorg.confs.. I've also tried the zen-eee kernel for the 1000/901's, which is older, and still has the same issue.
So I'm sure this is a software issue, but I'm not sure which.. It even happens if I dont have the xf86-input-synaptics driver installed.. I'm not going to post my xorg.conf here, because it's irrelevant.. I've tried using tons, including the one that ships with xandros..they all change aspects of the synaptics driver, but none affect this issue.
Anyone else having this issue? Fixes, suggestions?
Thanks.

hi guys,
I had a similar bug on my netbook with the Elantech touchpad. I have reported a bug to the maintainer of the Elantech driver and I get a patch that fix it.
description of my bug:
with two fingers above the touchpad, tap alterrnatively with each finger on the touchpad.
- expected behaviour: the cursor does not move.
- actual behaviour: the cursor jumps sometimes to the left or the right.
this only happens when configuring the touchpad with synaptics (by defaults, mine is detected as a mouse)
is your bug the same than mine ?
are you using both the proto=exps option and synaptics ? (I still have the bug in this configuration)
if it is the same bug, I have submited the patched kernel to AUR

Having 2 small issues with 10.4.3 interface - shift click & control click

I am having two issues with 10.4.3 on my mom's computer.
1) I Control-Click the mouse and I do get a shortcut menu on the desktop, on icons, etc. How can I get this back? I can not seem to find a preference that sets this.
2) I am in iPhoto and would like to select multiple film rolls (consecutive rolls) by clicking the first and then clicking the last one that I would like and it is working like I am comand clicking and only selecting the two rolls that I have clicked on and not the ones in between.
Any help in how to work this out would be great.
Happy Turkey Day!

Small issue with CS3 / CS4 in Vista 64

Hello,
Recently made the move from XP 32 to Vista 64 and I'm having
issues with CS3 and CS4 when it comes to inserting images and/or
browsing for background images in a CSS file.
The first issue I have is where the cursor starts out. See
the image below:
http://img391.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps1hb9.png
Currently when the select image dialog appears, my cursor is
nowhere to be found. This is easy enough to get around with the
n key but annoying none the less.
My second issue is more upsetting. When I type in the name of
a folder (for example the Downloads folder from the previous
picture) and press the enter key, a strange character followed by a
colon and a backslash is added (:\). The character changes but the
colon and backslash is always the same.
See:
http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ps2cm6.png
This never happened on XP32 but for some reason Vista (and I
tried out server 2008 as well) 64 bit causes this issue.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Mike

Zoodia, do you have the same problem with Vista 32 and what
version of vista do you have?
Or does nayone else has the same problem with Vista and
please include version and 32 or 64 bits.
thanks

Mar-2015 firmware for hp 8620 solves my issue with 6x4 paper not being picked up

I had continual problems with my hp 8620 not picking up 6x4 photo paper.
I tried a number of fixes as suggested elsewhere on forums. I had the most success with the "scan and copy 99 blank a4 pages" workaround, but half the time the printer would still fail to feed the 6x4 on the first go.
Good news though, the latest firmware dated Mar 17 2015 has resolved this for me, and maybe it will improve it for others with the same problem.
The firmware says:
"This firmware upgrade is for HP Officejet Pro 8620/8625 e-All-in-One Printers.
File name: OJP8620_R1502A.zip
Release details
Released: Mar 17, 2015
Version FDP1CN1502AR
Fix and enhancements
Improvement to connectivity robustness
Improvement to paper-path reliability"
The link is here: http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Officejet-Pro-8620-e-All-in-One-Printer-series/53...

I just spent several hours troubleshooting this printer. My rollers were all clean. I then used a bright flashlight and monitored thru the front what it was doing when trying to load paper.. There is a grey wheel that is lowered to the paper and rotates pulling the sheet in. It simply just isn't getting lowered enough because its just spinning on top of the paper. I've tried a dozen different types of paper from heavy/thick to thin. I've tried fanning the paper and I've tried not fanning the paper. I've tried a full stack of paper down to a few sheets and everywhere in between. This is just a flawed printer and based on the hundreds of people I see having the exact same issues with this printer so soon afte purchase is an eye opener. {Content Removed: no legal discussion permitted} I'm simply this fed up with my last several HP printer purchases. Anyone else that is as fed up with me please {Personal Information Removed}. I'm going to start tracking down as many people as I can. I'll likely move this discussion to a third party forum, hopefully one with a very high volume of traffic so if this post mysteriously disappears google search for it.

[SOLVED] Strange issue with dhcpcd

Alright, so today when I booted up, I tried to connect to my campus' wireless network using Wicd, but it timed out every time it attempted to obtain an IP. So I ran through my usual steps to get wireless up in the console (ifconfig -> iwconfig -> dhcpcd), but dhcpcd caught SIGHUP as soon as it started running. And that's not even the weirdest part- I now have a process with ID 2309 for dhcpcd that respawns every time `kill -9' is used. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I'm at a total loss here.
EDIT: Alright, the issue seems to have remedied itself. I'm still not sure what happened but it's working, so I'm gonna flag this as solved for now.

well, that should be titled [Solved?]
This is what seems to have fixed it for me:
* log out of kde
* drop to console as root
* use bluetoothctl cli to remove the mouse and add it again...
No idea why this works when you use bluetoothctl and not the kde settings gui (bluedevil), and no idea what was causing the issue in the first place... but happy mouse

[SOLVED] Possible issue with makepkg or gnupg 2.1???

I am quite willing to admit that it's possible I'm totally stupid and missing something basic, but I just wanted to see if this makes any sense to you folks. Basically, I'm wondering if there's a regression in makepkg or gpg-agent with GnuPG 2.1.
Step 1: Verify the condition of my personal keyring.
gpg -k | grep Xyne
No results. Good.
Step 2: Verify the condition of pacman's keyring.
sudo pacman-key --list-keys | grep Xyne
No results. Good
Step 3: Use pacman-key (NOT my local GPG keyring) to import Xyne's key and trust it.
sudo pacman-key --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key -u
Step 4: Try to install pm2ml, signed by Xyne, and use makepkg to verify that yaourt is NOT the problem. This will not work.
yaourt -G pm2ml
cd pm2ml
makepkg -s
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz ... FAILED (unknown public key 1D1F0DC78F173680)
Step 5: Check that I'm not crazy.
sudo gpg --homedir=/etc/pacman.d/gnupg --verify pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz.sig
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg'
gpg: assuming signed data in 'pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz'
gpg: Signature made Tue 30 Dec 2014 05:55:07 PM MST using RSA key ID 8F173680
gpg: Good signature from "Xyne. (key #3) <[email protected]>" [full]
Step 6: Import Xyne's key into my local GnuPG keyring, which I should definitely not have to do:
gpg --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
gpg --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
makepkg -s
Makepkg will work at this point. I have tried this three times, and I can duplicate it 100% of the time.
Is my configuration messed up, or can anybody else duplicate this? I'm wondering if the gpg-agent since GnuPG 2.1 doesn't switch home directories or something and refuses to see a new key even though I just imported it? It seems like the key and the signature are both clearly valid, but I can only get Xyne's package to verify using makepkg if I import his key into my ~/.gnupg keyring.
Again, I could be totally stupid, but I legitimately do think there might be a bigger issue.
Thanks.

Okay, sorry! I didn't know that was intended behavior. That actually makes me a lot happier.
It just didn't seem intuitive to me that I would have to add the developer's public key to my own keyring rather than to pacman's keyring. Almost guides I had previously read previously said I needed to use pacman-key to import the public key.
This thread can be marked as solved, because there is no issue.

Small issues with iOS4, and iOS4.0.1 update

Hello all, I'm posting this as a general area where those using iOS4 / iOS4.0.1 on iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 ca report any little niggles they've noticed with the most recent updates.
As I'm quite fond of my gadget, and it would be rare to see me glued to anything else, I've noticed a few. So I created this feed to show others these problems, at least to stop some worrying that its just their phone!
This is what I've found thus far:
(1) Firstly, the screen magnification function no longer works. I noticed this on the Messages application. If the 'lens' is active on the screen, with the usual prolonged hold on the screen, the entire thing is white. The same white as behind the message bubbles, wherever on the screen you hold the lens. The only thing you might see is the blue flashing place marker, which itself is not magnified either.
There is obviously some glitch that stops magnification and display within the lens. I use a 3GS, and have looked at 2 other iPhone's, a likewise 3GS and an older 3G both using the first iOS4 update.
(2) Next, I noticed some keyboards were not aligning to the crrect rotations on some third-party applications. When in portrait, if the keyboard is activated and then the phone is rotated, the narrow keyboard is displayed on the far left of the screen, in place of the wider landscape pad. The same is true, in reverse, if the phone is rotated from landscape when the keypad is activated.
(3) One other issue is that some of the text alignment can be off, resulting in images and text and symbols being misplaced. I noticed this on the iPod application, on some music videos the small TV icon Apple uses for denoting videos is halfway across the screen, and the name is pushed away from the track numbering column.
These are the issues I've seen so far. This is not me complaining, it is just a place where fellow users to report issues they've noticed and make others aware.
I don't know if this has been done, and even if it has, its good to have a new comprehensive and up-to-date list.
I would be interested to see what other issues users have encountered so please share. Any issues at all.
I have some screenshot images of the problems I've listed should anyone wish to see what I mean, sadly images cant be uploaded on this forum.

*BUMP* Does anyone have any ideas? Or has anyone managed to fix this problem for themselves?
