[solved] Synaptics Touchpad works in GDM but not in Gnome Session

Hey,
i just installed arch x86_64 to a Amilo Pa 3553 Notebook with synaptics touchpad driver.
It's working in gdm perfectly but after login i cannot click, wether tabbing nor klicking.
But i can move the coursor.
Touchpad is recognized in Xorg.log without any errors or warnings.
Any Idea what went wrong?
SOLVED
It was just a check in the gnome touchpad settings at "Mausklick per Touchpad freischalten".
Sorry, i don't know in english, but it means something like "activate Click per touchpad"

I too am having the same problem. This only seems to happen after I connect to a projector by the VGA port on my Lenovo T500. I use the display port to connect to a 30" apple cinema display and have no issues. Have not had much luck in finding what changes in the gnome config when this problem arises.
I am looking forward to anyone being able to explain what is actually changing and why. WIll continue to dig into this and post a workaround if I find one.

Query works in Report but not during Edit session

I have a report based on an SQL query, and it works perfectly from the menu in Development. It's also in Test and Production, and it works there, too. I want to change the template it's on, so I went in through the Navigator to open up and change the report. The Edit session opens up to the query, but I cannot move to any of the other tags, because it says the query is "not valid".
It won't allow me to save the query 'as is', because it supposedly isn't valid. The report isn't locked, and prior versions (I went back to view five of them) have the same trouble. How can the query work off the menu, but not be 'valid'? We installed a patch recently, but even so, why would the query work in one spot and not another?
Anyone have any ideas on what I can do?

Hi,
Please give me the query and the error the error you are getting.
Thanks,

[SOLVED] broadcom-wl works during install, but not after.

I have this macbook air which I'm beating into submission, and it has a broadcom wifi chip. I followed the instructions here for the installation and it worked perfectly. After booting into my newly installed system I do the same, but when I do 'modprobe wl' it fails with:
# modprobe --verbose wl
insmod /lib/modules/3.14.5-1-ARCH/extramodules/wl.ko.gz
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Invalid argument
I checked with 'lsmod' and none of the blacklisted modules are loaded. I have no idea how to proceed but it should work since it worked during installation. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!
EDIT: As user Namarrgon on irc pointed out, I needed to rebuild the broadcom-wl package. The reason it worked in the live usb and not in the installed system is probably because the installed system had a later kernel than the one on the live usb.

At least for rt2870sta, it's a retarded bug in Linux that was introduced in 2.6.31 and is still not fixed. It works in the live environment because it has an older kernel.
Kernel 2.6.31 module conflicts
The 2.6.31 kernel caused the rt2870 driver to conflict with other wireless modules. The fix in this thread says that you need to blacklist the rt2800usb rt2x00usb and rt2x00lib modules by modifying the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf
MODULES=( ... !rt2800usb !rt2x00usb !rt2x00lib ... )

Why does the counter work in MAX, but not Labview?

Please help, I have been away from Labview for over 3 months, and I am quite rusty....
Last year, I successfully configured NI9401 to measure period (seconds) by counting the rising edges of my sensor signal. Since then, I have aquired a new PC, and loaded all my software into it, including the Labview VI's that successfully worked on the old computer.
I can see the digital signal using MAX and the test panel for the NI9401, so, I know my wiring and my TTL signal is OK, but, when I try to run the attached VI, nothing happens except the error below.. How do I tell this VI to look for the signal on MOD3/CTR0 and channel 14?
Thanks. I am sure it is a small adjustment...this worked fine a few months ago...not sure what is wrong now.
Thanks,
Dave

OK, now. Resolved the issue. The vi is fine, but, some shaky wires were identified...worked in MAX but not in the vi. Now that the connections have been tightened up, it works for both. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Works on emulators but not on mobile devices

Hello,
My project works on emulators but not on mobile devices (no image and on Samsung it says "unsupported file").
Please help, I don't know what to do. My configurations: MIDP 2.1, CLDC 1.1.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: I succeeded to solve it accidentally. I did the following: Sign the jar in Netbeans, clean and build, the jar didn't work, I wiped out the .ks from the jar and clean and build again. Now it worked.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

Password on apple id works on iPad but not on Mac Pro

Pass word on apple id works with iPad but not on Mac Book Pro, what is the solution, I have tried to reset password but that does not seem to solve the problem.

It kind of depends on where you're entering the password on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store? App Store?
Try the password on this website https://id.apple.com/ (click on [manage my apple id]
If it works on that website there's nothing wrong with your apple id or password. In that case we really will need to know exactly what you're trying to do when you're getting the password error.

Wifi works at home but not when away from home

My Wifi works at home but not when away from home, what is wrong? I thought with a phone plan I didn't need to have a wifi connection.

You either need WiFi or Cellular (or both). If you have neither, you can't connect to the internet.
Most people use WiFi at home and Cellular while away from home, or connect to public WiFi networks where there are some.

Can't FaceTime anymore? iPad states wifi connected and iPhone 4 states not connected? I have wireless in my home? Not sure what happened. Password works for iPad but not on phone?

iPhone won't connect to wifi. iPad is connected. Password working on iPad but not on phone. Can't upload software update of IOS 7.1 because phone not connecting to wifi?

Connect iPhone to computer and open iTunes. You will be prompted to update to iOS 7.0. Keep your phone connected until the update is finished.

Album Art works for most, but not all

I was reading previous forums on the subject, but no clear answer was given..
The album art shows up fine in itunes and my library and works for most of my music on my ipod, but how come some album's art does appear? I have it set manually and select 'Get Info' then 'Artwork' and add it from there, then drag in the finished product to my ipod. I've been doing that and it works fine for most of the albums, but every so often, the album art will not appear on my ipod. Am I doing something wrong? I take them all from the same source (amazon.com) but it makes no sense to me how some randomly don't appear.
I tried deleting the artwork and re-adding it, but nothing happened again. If you could answer why it works for most but not all or how I can get the album art to appear for the ones it will not by re-doing something, it would be appreciated. thanks.

I encountered the same problem in the beginning. When I compared the size of the original images, the working ones seemed to be smaller in general, so I reduced the size of all covers I intended to upload on the pod to 300x300 pixels.
This seemed to work - for 2 days. I bought the pod on friday, had pictures on sunday, but on Monday (after the first time the pod was fully discharged) none were left left.
So I ended searching this forum for related problems...
And decided to join my problem to this entry.

Medical app from Intuit works in IE, but not Firefox.

Encrypted medical app works in new IE, but not Firefox. Everything works down to the end, and click on "continue" and nothing happens. A tech and I have spent hours on this. Did not work on FF5 or 6. Did not work on old IE, but did on fresh new version with no data files copied in.

If it works in IE but not FF, then it has nothing to do with the mp3s. More likely it's because of the HTML on the page.
To start, page is missing DOCTYPE declaration... a MAJOR problem. The DOCTYPE declares which set of rules the browser will use to display the page. Without it, different browsers go crazy or do not work at all.

Validate the html code here:

You will have to fix all the errors if you want this to work in all browsers.
