[Solved] vim, indent and hash

I know this isn't strictly a programming problem, but bear with me...
To make a long story short, I have a Perl file in which some comment lines start with the hash(#) as the first character of the line, i.e. before the # there's nothing, not even spaces. The problem is that trying to indent this line with == does not work. Now, with my current vim setup, when *insert* a new line that starts with an #, indentation is done properly. Also, if there is space before the #, but the indentation is wrong, == correctly indents it. The problem is when the # is the very first character of the line, and (it goes without saying) the indentation is wrong, == does nothing.
I've googled and read all about disabling smartindent, cindent, and whatnot, and nothing seems to work. I'm really grasping at the straws with this one, so all ideas are welcome...

For future reference of whomever might encouter this problem... the file /usr/share/vim/vim73/indent/perl.vim has, in line 55 and following, the, erm, following:
" Don't reindent coments on first column
if cline =~ '^#.'
return 0
endif
Commenting those out solved the problem. Of course I now wonder why would those lines be there in the first place, but I digress...

[solved] Vim: console and urxvt have different colors

Well, as you can see, vim in console (vc/1) and in urxvt has different colors:
I'd like to have the same colors of console in urxvt (and not the opposite), is there a way?
I don't know from where the colors of urxvt come from. That blue with which is written '#include' and that green/cyan with which is written 'int' aren't even in my .Xdefaults.
TIA

[Solved][VIM] E484: Can't open file syntax.vim

Hi all,
I've installed Archlinux few days ago on my netbook and yesterday i decided to configure Vim using plugins.
During plugins configuration, i messed up and i decided to revome all Vim files in my ~ folder in order to restart configuration.
However, since I've executed the `rm -R .vim .vimrc .viminfo` command, I can't re-activate Vim's syntax coloration using `syntax on` into my .vimrc file nor into Vim directly.
Here is the error message when I start Vim :
Error detected while processing /home/romain/.vimrc:
line 1:
E484: Can't open file /home/romain/.vim/syntax/syntax.vim
Press ENTER or type command to continue
I've found this topic on BBS which seems to be the same problem as me but reinstalling vim or vi doesn't solve this problem.
I've tried to copy this syntax.vim file from /usr/share/vim/vim73/syntax/syntax.vim but it doesn't solve the problem and I want a clean solution without hacking my ~ folder ; moreover, this bug also appears being root while I haven't configured vim with the root account so it may be a problem into Vim's installation folders or something.
Thanks for your help and sorry I my english contains mistakes,
MicroJoe.

[solved] vim ftplugin vim-latexsuite doesn't load changes with chars

Hello!
I'd like to use some european characters and I found this thread.
Unfortunately I still get "/mathbf{}" when I type the ã. (My problem is the ö but I think if I manage to have the ã it will work with ö...)
The second problem is that I have to press escape twice to go to normal mode in a .tex file.
(In the other files one press is enough.)
All these troubles happen only on my x86_64 desktop.
I have vim-latexsuit-svn 1106-1 on both laptop and desktop from the AUR.
On my i686 laptop everything works fine with the 'default' .vimrc advised in the vim-latexsuite-manual.
There is also a different mapleader for compiling by default. (Which is not as annoying as the ö problem.)
I also get the ö-trouble when I log in from the laptop to my desktop.
Why are there so much differences?
I only remember having put some "set winaltkeys=no" in the wrong files on my laptop before I understood where is the right place.
(Where everything works fine.)

I just removed vim, vim-auctex (didn't remember there was this...) and vim-latexsuite and reinstalled vim and vim-latexsuite.
I was obviously using a vim-auctex macro and I didn't know it... (This was a memorable lesson for removing packages you don't need. )
I realized that the Esc-issue happens if a placeholder is still active. Is it possible to change this behaviour? (I won't really care about that. => [solved])

[self-SOLVED]vim + lilypond syntax highlighting

I'm trying to get vim to use syntax highlighting in lilypond files. Apparently lilypond comes with the necessary files, but I have not been able to make vim find them (?). I am not very experienced with vi(m), so there might be something wrong with my setup.
I have, of course, both vim and lilypond installed. The files for lilypond syntax highlighting are in subdirectories of /usr/share/lilypond/2.12.3/vim/. Vim syntax highlighting works for other files, such as C++, HTML, etc., so no problem there. My ~/.vimrc file contains
set runtimepath+=/usr/share/lilypond/2.12.3/vim/
as per instruction given in http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documenta … m/Vim-mode (and the path is correctly modified). But when I open a lilypond file (with the correct .ly suffix) all I get is black and white. What's the problem?
[EDIT: Oh heck, nevermind! Apparently I was getting too tired to read instructions properly. Was missing the ~/.vim/filetype.vim file described in the above link.]
Last edited by lotuskip (2010-04-12 18:33:42)

You're right about it being overridden. This change should be able to be placed in ~/.vimrc though.
Well that was foolish - I should have read the comments right below in that file. It says exactly how to set it in vimrc. I've now added the following to my ~/.vimrc and this is completely solved without modifying the /usr/... file.
let g:tex_flavor = "tex"

[Solved] Vim ignoring modelines

This line is at the end of a load of my bash scripts, but none of the settings are getting applied (for the several files I've tried).
It's the last line in my file.
# vim:set ts=4 sw=4 ft=sh et:
I've got no modeline setting in my vimrc, so no idea why it's being ignored unless there's one. I've read though the vim help and have done a quick internet search, but can't find anything obvious.
Any ideas?

I think the expandoption shouldn't have a colon. What happens if you try:

That doesn't change behaviour, and I think it goes against what the help says.
However, it looks like the issue is elsewhere, as looking at the settings, the modeline isn't getting ignored, it's the behaviour isn't as I expect from those settings. This could be user error, but whatever it is, it isn't modelines getting ignored. So I'll mark this as solved and look into the behaviour issue.
Many thanks for your replies.

[SOLVED] vim: newlines when pasting block selection

Hi there!
When pasting a block selection im Vim, the pasted lines are added to the existing lines. That definitely has it's uses, but usually I'd like to paste the lines onto blank lines. For this, I first have to generate a buch of empty lines, and only then can I paste the block. Is there a way to automatically generate new lines when pasting blocks?
Here's a small example in Fortran. I'd like to get the list of REALs by block-selecting the variables and copying them between the REAL and the INTEGER block.
REAL :: &
real1 (2,2) , &
real2 (5,2) , &
real3 (1,2)
INTEGER :: &
int1 ,&
int2
If I just block-select it and paste it onto the line between the REAL and INTEGER blocks, I end up with this:
REAL :: &
real1 (2,2) , &
real2 (5,2) , &
real3 (1,2)
real1
real2INTEGER :: &
real3 int1 ,&
int2
What I'd like to end up with, though, is this:
REAL :: &
real1 (2,2) , &
real2 (5,2) , &
real3 (1,2)
real1
real2
real3
INTEGER :: &
int1 ,&
int2
Without manually inserting blank lines, that is!
PS: I'm not really sure whether that's the correct subforum, but as the questions mostly addresses Programmers/Coders, I guess it should be fine here.

karol wrote:http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Unconditional … wise_paste
'\cp' seems to do what you want.
I haven't tried it yet, but it looks exactly what I need! What I do after pasting the selected block is often joining the lines to a single line with the variables delimited by commas or \\|| (for further use in vim regexes), and it looks like this plugin can do exactly this.
Thanks! I'll mark it SOLVED then (and hope I'll get around to actually try it soon enough).
Trilby wrote:Karol's answer seems like a more direct solution, but I'd personally go with a combination of simpler commands like "3yy3jPw Ctrl-v 3j$d"
The problem with this is that you know the exact number of lines, i.e. 3 in this case, which is usually not the case in the code I work with as the variable lists are much longer.
But what I've become accustomed to in the meantime is memorizing the number of lines that vim shows when I yank the block and inserting that number of new lines before pasting, e.g. for a 24 line block
24o<ESC>j
24k
p
I doubt that using 24o<ESC>j is the best way to insert the 24 blank lines, but it works well enough.

How to achieve Indenting and Issuing of raw materials in Oracle 11i

Hi
We have an issue with indenting and issuing of raw materials between stores and shop floor.
Business Process is:
1) Shop Floor should send a requisition of raw material to stores department i.e., (Indenting) with authorization of Production Manager.
2) Then based on the requisition, stores needs to issue the raw material to Shop floor with Stores Manager authorization in report format.
Work around:
we have created Flexi Fields (DFF) in the Batches window under context value,
through which we can indent quantity of that item datewise required.
But the trouble is, it is time consuming and data entry is more.
Also we have RM Pick List report, which is not useful for us for this process.
Can any one please give me any idea how to do this process with minimal data entry in optimal time without new customization.
Thanks in advance for your valuable ideas
Prem.

Hi Gordon,
My SBO version is 8.8 PL 10, Indian Database. I want to see the "Raw Material" G/L Account's opening balance in the Opening Balance Column of Trial Balance or similar report of SBO. The technical problem behind this is - the mentioned reports shows the the amounts in OB column if that amount is entered by the OB Transactions (in Administration -> System Initialization). But how to manage the Raw Material / Inventory G/L through this concept, as the OB amount for this is entered through Inventory Initial Quantity. We can do the entry one day before the expected starting date of the financial period, is that can be a standard practice? For. e.g. entering the opening balance for 1-1-06 on 31-12-05.

Problem with solver DLL load and Excel 2010

Since upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010 we've started to experience a problem with the solver addin when our own analytics addins is also loaded. I have found a solution, but I think it may highlight a problem with the latest version of the solver
addin for Excel 2010.
Firstly, to describe the problem - the solver addin seems to load normally when Excel 2010 starts up, however when a "Solve" is performed we are seeing a "File not found: Solver32.dll" error at the final "Keep Solver Solution" stage. This only happens our
own analytics addin is loaded. We've been careful to make sure that our own addin does not change the working directory and also that it has been built against the correct Excel 2010 SDK libraries. We do not see this error with any other versions of Excel
running on the same PC or any other environment.
After some searching we found other people were having similar problems and after a bit more probing I found a solution that works - but that I'm not very happy with.
If I copy the Solver32.dll from:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office14\Library\SOLVER
(where it was installed)
into :
C:\Windows\SysWOW64
(where Windows 7 keeps its 32 bit system DLLs)
then the problem goes away.
This seems to indicate that somehow Office 2010 has a problem that causes it to search in the wrong folder for the Solver32.dll when another addin is loaded in between the original Solver32.XLAM at start up and the use of the Solver in the sheet (which eventually
requires this DLL to be loaded). Oddly, this only happens after a solution is found and "Keep Solver Solution" is selected - and I'm not sure why it's not looking for Solver32.dll any earlier.
This is not a problem with any earlier versions of Excel and I suspect is a bug in the Office14/LIBRARY/SOLVER implementation. Is there any way to get this followed up?
Thanks,
Andy

If you want to sync it to the iPad from that Mac, you need to upgrade it to at least 10.5.8.
If you want to copy the music to another Mac, you don't. Move the iTunes folder of the item in the Finder's sidebar over as you would any other folder. If you put it somewhere other than the Music folder, launch iTunes with the Option key held down and point it to that location.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

[SOLVED] Arch64, Opera and plugins library problem

I have Arch64 with Opera 64-bit as default browser. I have succesfully installed 32-bit flashplugin and it works nicely. The only problem is that fonts cannot be read from the flash player context menu and Open File dialog opened from flash player. The problem is that flashplugin tries to load 64-bit GTK from /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/ and it fails. 32-bit version is installed and it's located in /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/.
Gtk-WARNING **: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/engines/libmurrine.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

Also I have library loading problem with totem-plugin. It cannot find libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but both library files are located in /usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.1/. The plugin loads fine if I create links to both files in /usr/lib/. But that doesn't seem like right solution to me.
$ ldd libtotem-mully-plugin.so
libglib-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f94e19d9000)
libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 => /usr/lib/libtotem-plparser-mini.so.10 (0x00007f94e17d6000)
libxul.so => not found
libxpcom.so => not found
libplds4.so => /usr/lib/libplds4.so (0x00007f94e15d2000)
What would be a most elegant way of solving these two library loading problems?
I think that symbolic links and moving files are not the most elegant way to solve the problem. Maybe some environment variable or some configuration setting would solve the problem (LDPATH comes to mind, but it seems that it doesn't work).
EDIT: I wasn't sure in which section to post this question, so feel free to move it if necessary.

Opera uses operapluginwrapper scirpt to detect if the plugin is 32-bit or 64-bit and after detection it uses operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux for 32-bit or operapluginwrapper-native for 64-bit plugins. operapluiginwrapper-ia32-linux loads the 32-bit flashplugin in my case which requires GTK, but it incorectly tries to load it form /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 64-bit version of GTK resides.
The solution is to set the GTK_PATH environment variable to point to /opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/ where 32-bit version resides. But if you set it globaly it will result in problems with other 64-bit applications. So the correct solution is to add following lines on the bottom of the operapluginwrapper script above the exec line:
case "$wrapper" in
*ia32*)
export GTK_PATH="/opt/lib32/usr/lib/gtk-2.0"
export PANGO_RC_FILE="/opt/lib32/config/pango/pangorc"
esac
In this way the 32-bit paths will be active only for operapluginwrapper-ia32-linux process.
I have solved the other problem with totem-plugin requesting libxul.so and libxpcom.so, but the solution idoesn't matter because, although totem-plugin loads coreclty it doesn't work in opera. I have installed mplayer-plugin which works as it should. Also gecko-mediaplayer works correctly with opera, I have tested them both. Install one of the two plugins that work, and you will be fine.

[Solved] vim, indent and hash
