[SOLVED] Tiling wm that supports keychains and good mouse support
I hope I'm not bringing up old questions but I couldn't really find anything useful using the search
Basically I'm searching for a new tiling wm that supports a few things, namely:
Keychains, absolutely necessary, dwm and i3 didn't seem to have this feature or I overlooked it
good mouse support, hard to say when mouse support is good but configurable menus would be nice
config files that aren't written in lua, ruby or whatnot wouldn't hurt either
I'm using pekwm at the moment (screw the *boxes), an excellent wm, but it's no tiler...
looking forward to useful answers

I doubt that you're going to have much success finding a tiling manager with all of that baked in; most twms are made by minimalists and seem to eschew extra programs, unlike gnome and KDE.
yeah I know, but pekwm is also pretty minimal and supports keychains
Also, you may want to check this out: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Co … ison_table
That was one of the pages I looked at before opening this thread here. Useful, but not in this case
hbekel wrote:Take a look at xchainkeys. It's a standalone program to create chained keybindings independent of wm. Works best with a wm that has good scripting support, e.g. musca. I wrote because I was in the same situation as you are, looking for a tiler that supports proper keychaining.
Thanks, I'll look into that
You might be able to use xbindkeys to set up keychains, but it won't be trivial since you'll have to write a guile scheme config file and implement the keychaining logic on your own.
I'm pretty sure I won't have enough time and skills to do that

[SOLVED] Umount filesystem that went offline and was rebooted
Here is my scenario:
I have a an existing directory /mnt/example that a mount is attached to via fstab at boot time. The mount in fstab points to a Windows IIS directory.
That works all well and good, but what happened over the weekend was that the Windows machine the mount was pointed to had to be restarted.
This effectively stopped my mount point on the Linux machine and I as unable to read it at all or umount it even with the -f option. It just told me the device was busy.
I had reboot my Linux machine to clear things up.
Should there have been I should have tried before rebooting my Linux machine?
Thanks for the info!
Last edited by proof (Yesterday 17:28:13)Spider.007 wrote:Is this a network based mount? What protocol do you share it with, samba? Did you try un/remounting on the linux machine?
The mount on the Linux machine was pointed to an admin share on the Windows machine. When the Windows machine rebooted, it caused the Linux mount to become unstable in such a manner that I could not list the directory the mount point existed in, I could not umount it (device busy error) and I could not even perform a simple 'df' command. df or a directory listing caused the terminal window to hang. The only thing that fixed it was a reboot of my Linux machine to re-establish the mount from fstab. -

SQL Azure Support Team And Lack of Support.
Hello,
I purchased an Azure Support Plan seeking help as a
Developer. For more than two Month the Azure SQL Engineers failed to help me.
I wonder! Is my case beyond help or Politics and racism are involved.
1-
My site has a political message. It is about launching a much needed political movement in the Middle-East. The Site invites people to register as members and hopefully bearers of this Political Call.
This Political Call is not to the comfort of some powerful groups that could be behind the lack of support that I am getting.
Details of the case.
2-
On my local machine, the process of posting a completed Registration Form is completed without any error and the data is stored on the local MS SQL.
3-
When posting a completed form over the internet, however, one gets a blank page and the process of Registration is aborted.
4-
The Connection String that connects my Asurewebsite to the already linked Azure SQL is not formed correctly, and so I believe.
5-
I used “MSDeploy” to upload the site to the Azure Platform, “All the files and the MS SQL”.
On the Azure remote, I already linked an Azure SQL to my Website, 1gb and paying for it. This Azure SQL copied its schema and data from the MS SQL that “MSDeploy” uploaded.
On the Azure Platform, I can manually access my linked Azure SQL Database, edit its schema, as well as, the
listed data included during the process of uploading.
6-
The Problem: The process of linking the Azure SQL to my site generated the required Connection
String on the remote, however, the Connection String of my Web.Config file on the remote still refers only to the uploaded MS SQL.
Believing that this could be the cause of aborting the registration process I decided, after many unsuccessful attempts to include the Azure generated Connection String to the Web.Config file, to seek the help of the Azure SQL Engineers by
purchasing an Azure Support Plan as a developer, more than 2 Month ago, and paying for it.
7-
I submitted a Ticket, asking for help to connect My Azure Website to the already linked Azure SQL using the already generated Connection String.
Instead of focussing on the connection issue the MS Azure SQL Engineer kept asking me to read irrelevant, mutually referring
and retired articles including one that deals with how to connect to MS Server 2005.
Many emails were exchanged for about 4 weeks and absolutely there was no intention on focussing on the Azure SQL connection need.
8-
Three weeks ago, I submitted another Ticket, voicing my displeasure of the treatment that I received.
However, the second Support professional kept trying to pass me on to other people, departments and finally suggested to set up a Tele-conference that includes many participants. Believing that it is another way of avoid
the issue, I insisted on only discussing my SQL connection need, but this insistence was completely ignored. Details of the
Site are:
A-
The URL of the Site is:
http://ozza.azurewebsites.net/.
B-
The Azure “Ado” generated Connection String:
Server=tcp:fv9wkz2vsk.database.windows.net,1433;Database=ArabUnity;User ID=ArabUnityServer@fv9wkz2vsk;Password={**my password**};Trusted_Connection=False;Encrypt=True;Connection Timeout=30;

I activated the Kudu site to process my Website on the Azure Platform and the voluminous Log “Dump File” it
attached. It includes comprehensive details about any and everything that is related to my Website.
I desperately need help in and willing to provide any other information one may need.
Respectfully Yours,
Abdou Aboyoussef..hi Joseph,
We apologise for all happened to you. I check your supplied website url and check this page (http://ozza.azurewebsites.net/DisplayData.cshtml ), I found you could get data form database. Did
you resolved this issue? If not, I recommend you could refer to those documents (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-dotnet-deploy-aspnet-mvc-app-membership-oauth-sql-database/

[SOLVED] Wiki page for GPT disks and booting arch using UEFI
Hi guys, I am new to archlinux. I installed archlinux x86_64 just yesterday and I like its customisability. I also like arch wiki. Nowhere else have I seen such extensive documentation, especially about things like HAL, UDEV etc. with proper instructions. Thanks to all archers.
I have installed Archlinux x86_64 in my Dell India Studio 1537 laptop along with Windows 7 Professional x64. Both the OSes boot in UEFI-GPT setup (my UEFI is tianocore.sourceforge.net EDK DUET UEFI64 firmware booting from USB). I boot Archlinux using my own compiled grub2-bzr compiled for both BIOS and UEFI-x64. I have a 1 MB BIOS Boot Partition as required by grub2 for BIOS-GPT booting. My Archlinux system can boot both from bios and from uefi, while Windows can boot only using UEFI.
The official Archlinux installation guide talks about only MBR (or msdos disklabel) partitions and booting from BIOS based systems. With 2TB drives becoming common place and UEFI being implemented (search for Phoenix SecureCore Tiano's 1 second POST operation), I think a proper wiki page describing differences between MBR and GPT, why GPT is better, how to setup arch to boot from GPT. Another page describing steps to setup arch to boot from UEFI (either as a separate page or as an extension of GRUB2 wiki page) is also needed.
Some details regarding Pure GPT (not a Hybrid GPT/MBR setup) and/or UEFI setups :-
Partitioning tools -
GNU Parted for filesystem related tasks
GPT fdisk tool - http://rodsbooks.com/gdisk/ , http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/ , pacman -S gdisk (in extra repo) - for non-filesystem related tasks
util-linux-ng fdisk does not support GPT disks
Bootloader - GRUB2 - vanilla grub-legacy does not support GPT and does not support UEFI (Fedora's patched grub-legacy does support both GPT and UEFI) and syslinux does not support GPT (I may be wrong here - seems a gptmbr of syslinux does help in booting from gpt but not sure).
For GRUB2 - Need BIOS Boot Partition to embed GRUB2's core.img in GPT disks - size about 1 MB max - no filesystem
In GPT fdisk partition type code - EF02
In GNU Parted or GParted - bios_grub flag on
For UEFI-GPT booting this special partition is not needed as no embedding takes place. This is needed only in case of BIOS-GPT booting.
Incase of custom kernel configuration - enable CONFIG_EFI_PARTITION for GPT support
CONFIG_EFI for UEFI support (for UEFI even above option required)
CONFIG_EFI_VARS for UEFI Runtime Variables support (optional)
Note: Although GPT is part of UEFI specification, a UEFI system is not needed to boot from/use GPT. BIOS based GPT booting is possible with GRUB2 or Fedora's patched grub-legacy (but not vanilla grub-legacy provided by archlinux). It is also possible to boot Linux in UEFI-MBR setup (again using grub2) but I have not tried it.
Even without UEFI and less than 2TB harddrives, GPT based partitioning has many advantages - secondary GPT header and Partition table, CRC32 checksums. Unique Disk GUID and Filesystem-independent Unique Partition GUIDs, multiple primary partitions (default is 128 partitions, but it can be changed). The only problamatic OS is Windows which does not allow GPT booing unless one has UEFI based system. It allows only UEFI-GPT or BIOS-MBR setups. In linux it just depends on how the bootloader is configured - not a problem with grub2.
I also propose that incase of Auto-prepare Hard Drive, the installer default to GPT for "archlinux only" installs ( ie no dual-boot or triple-boot etc.).
I did not use the official archlinux iso but used archboot 2010.04 R3 as it gave an option of installing to GPT and also provided GRUB2 during bootloader install. I have never edited any wiki page before, thats why I request some one else to start a wiki page with the information given above.
I don't know whether this is the right place, but any Windows (Vista or 7 x64 versions) and Linux dual-boot user who has UEFI-based system with GPT partitioning and wants to get rid of Hybrid MBR setup (to boot Windows) can follow this post http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/lofive … hp/t186440 (outside this forum) - this link describes the way to make Windows boot natively in UEFI-GPT setup. After doing this one can install arch using GRUB2 compiled for UEFI x86_64, and Windows will also see
Last edited by skodabenz (2011-01-30 19:32:48)Welcome to arch, skodabenz! Offering documentation on third post - all thumbs up
You could start the wiki page in your user-space with what you have, and then invite others to join working on it. Just register a wiki account, navigate to the page you want to start, for example:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:skodabenz/GPT
and click on "edit this page".
As noted in the other thread, arch's legacy grub is patched for gpt support. I don't know about UEFI, but you can always open a bug report asking for the patches from fedora to be included.
edit: the page from Rod Smith is a great resource. I was absolutely terrified at first by all this screwed up GPT/MBR stuff when I tried triple-booting Arch, Win and OS x, but he really does a great job explaining what it is all about.

[Solved] File browser that supports mixed files and directories
Are there any file browsers that show files and directories together, in the way that macs do? Most of the time I like the seperated structure, but for some things I'd like to be able to sort by, say, date modified, and have all the newest files and directories together. I'm hoping I'm just overlooking an option somewhere (I'm using nemo now), but this is kind of a tricky thing to google.
EDIT
Just looked again and noticed the option, right there in front of me. Oops. Still, andyone happen to know how to make this a property of a single directory, and not global?

This is the second time this happens. I was living in the US until April 2011. I moved to Chile and kept using the App Store and the iTunes Store just fine with my US-issued credit card. However, when I accessed my Apple ID from a different device, the store stopped recognizing my credit card information and migrated my ID to the "Chilean" App & Itunes Store (significantly less apps & music... but anyway). I started using my Chilean credit card on the App and iTunes store with no issues. I supposed that the devices catched that I was no longer in the US and that I had to be transferred to the related store (which I think is fine), and that because I was now in the Chilean store I needed to use a Chilean-issued credit card (which doesn't make sense to me, I still don't understand why Apple stopped accepting my US credit card if it is accepted everywhere else in the world online and offline!).
However, yesterday I bought something from my iPad and when today I went to use the app store from my iPhone the SAME THING happened. I got the same request to "update my billing information", I confirmed my Chilean credit card info and, surprise! "Your credit card is not supported by the Chilean app store"...
I don't get it. If I didn't get it the first time, I ended up accepting it an getting over it because ok, I moved to another country and my account was migrated, etc. But now, it doesn't recognize my local credit card in my local store! I tried both my local Visa and my local MasterCard, and none of them worked. It looks like my account will not accept ANY credit card, no matter wheter I try to update the info from my mobile devices, on iTunes, on the Mac App Store, etc.
It has been impossible for me to find any information on what causes this and on how to solve it, and so far I hadn't had any trouble with Apple and hadn't need any support before, but now that I need URGENT SUPPORT, I've come to realize that THEY SUCK at being accessible! There's no way I can contact them! So, please help me!!!!! I need urgent help!!!!
Thanks and sorry for the very long post.Same thing happened to me with my peruvian credit card in the peruvian app store, I want to buy an app, but it says that my credit card is "not supported in the Peruvian app store"

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.

I created an new apple id and want to change my billing information from the old id to the new id. How do i do that, as i have been trying it like always and it keeps saying that i have to contact apple support? I have an iphone 5S.
Good day BenithaK,
Once you have changed your Apple ID, you need to set it up for use in the various systems such as iTunes, the App Store, etc so it can be used as intended. This article shows how to do that -
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID - Apple Support
To change your iTunes billing information for either Apple ID account, follow the directions in this article -
iTunes 12 for Mac: Manage your iTunes Store account
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

When I try to launch itunes I get an error mesage saying that Apple application support was not found and suggests that I uninstall and re-install it, but that doesn't work
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
Start with the section Install missing components which should address your particular error. Otherwise the steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT) as you start iTunes, then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.
