[SOLVED]Where is the place to set program path for root in arch?

The situation is that I use qingy (set up according to wiki) as login manager and kde as desktop. When I use tty6 (agetty) to login (how comes that I cannot login as root, have to login as user and then su) /usr/sbin is in the path for root, but in kde when I su in konsole it is not. That caused me some headache with the latest kernel upgrade, since in kde the kernel will not upgrade properly, I have to do it on tty6. what is the proper way to set paths in arch? I looked at /root/.bashrc and that is almost empty. What obvious things am I missing? Has qingy to do with that problems? Any docs on that for arch? Besides firefox doesn't see any installed plugins, opera does. Plain Centrino laptop here.
Thanks, signor_rossi

Thanks for the answers. Investigated a little more and it seems it is really qingy what messes things up. Deactivated it and used "startxfce4" to start xfce and "startx" with "exec startkde" in my  .xinitrc to start kde (once I figured out that in Arch "startkde" on command prompt alone does not work ) and voila, the path weirdness is gone in both DEs. Will look again into qingy when I have more time, since it is really nice when using different X setups (laptop on the go or laptop on docking with second display), like the eye candy. I guess I will stick to console now and simply use bash aliases for that purpose.
Thanks, signor_rossi.

  • Where is the option to set a ToDo item to repeat? ...

    I imported some calendar entries from MS Outlook onto my 5800, of which most were set to repeat every month.
    Those items successfully repeat on the device but on creating a new ToDo item using the device's calendar app, there is no option to set repeating occurrence!

    Can anyone please help me with this as I do not want to have to keep re-creating items and / or using Outlook to create them then transfer etc.
    'Ta very much.

    Just found an alternative that I thought was possible but wanted to confirm.
    Set yourself up a Nokia account on www.ovi.com and set up an OVI Sync account. Sync the phone to the online account to start with.
    Then, using the online interface to OVI Sync you can create an event that can be repeated weekly among other things. Re-sync the phone and that repeating event will be entered into your calendar.

  • Where is the Package Name and Class Name for Android to Facebook SSO?

    Where is the Package Name and Class Name for Android to Facebook SSO?
    I am trying to fill these fields http://developers.facebook.com/docs/mobile/android/build/#ref for Facebook but i can't figure out what to place in Android Package Name and Andorid Class Name,
    same thing for the Android Key Hash, I followed this guide http://www.skoobalon.com/blog/2012/06/13/getting-the-android-key-hash-for-facebook-from-an -air-app/ but I am not sure if it is the right thing to do.
    I was thinking maybe the Pakage Name is air.com.myname.myappname (where com.myname.myappname is also the id used in the application.xml) and the Class name is  air.com.myname.myappname.MyDocumentClass ?
    Is there an official guide somewhere?
    Also do you guys know if there is somewhere a library we can use within AIR to do SSO on Facebook from Andorid?

    For what it's worth, I don't think a WiFi connection would be reliable enough. You wouldn't want your picture to freeze just because a neighbour has turned on their baby monitor. WiFi uses the same frequencies as a myriad of other devices, as well as all your neighbours' WiFi.

  • Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?

    Where are the .joboptions stored on a Mac for InDesign CC?
    I put them in the usual directory:      /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings   .  .  . but they are not seen by InDesign CC.
    . . . Photoshop, Illustrator, Distiller and Acrobat are seeing my custom profiles and any default profiles I removed are not there for those apps.
    Even older versions of all these apps and InDesign 6 and 5 see my custom profiles.
    But InDesign CC only shows the ones shown in the screen shot below:  (High Quality, the PDF/X versions[3], Press and Smallest size)
    I know I can probably do a "Load" profile, but that's not the point and I need to remove the default profiles.
    I'm in a multiple user environment and need to lock down the use of profiles to our companies select few.
    Did a thorough search of the entire Mac and PDF/X- does not even show up.   Any suggestions?     Anyone?    I'm scratchin'  my head at this point.

      This was the correct answer:
           Laubender     Jun 2, 2014 12:18 AM  (in response to Maurice Castelbuono)   
    @Maurizio – the standard settings, the joboption files with the brackets like [PDF/X-1a:2001] are stored inside the inDesign app for InDesign CC 9.2.1.
    The path for these would be:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/mul
    or with a Japanese version of InDesign:
    /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/Adobe PDF/settings/japan
    If you do a right-click on the InDesign app you can show them with "Show Package Contents" options.
    All other PDF joboptions that you are creating are relative to your current User Library. They are stored in:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe PDF/Settings
    Where the tilde sign at the beginning indicates the home of the currently used user.
    You can access ~/Library, if you press the alt key when accessing the "Go To" menu in the Finder. Otherwise it's invisible.

  • Is there a good apple based alternative to the personal. finance software program "quicken for mac"?  It is a poorly supported program.

    Is there a good apple based alternative to the persona finance software program "quicken for mac"?  It is a poorly supported program.

    I switched from Quicken on a Windows computer to iBank on a Mac. It is a very good program, has very good free download connections to financial institutions (optional), and very good reports. The only negative is that it is just different enough from Quicken that there is a learning curve and the first month or two were frustrating -- but that is likely true of anything that you might change to. http://www.iggsoftware.com/ibank/

  • How to set local path for load library

    Hi,
    How do i set local path for native dll as i dont want to set the path in the environment variable.
    can i do like this
    System.loadLibrary("c:\abc");
    Thanks

    I believe that System.load() does exactly the same thing, but accepts fully qualified filenames. So give that a try.
    Failing that.... maybe you can add -Djava.library.path=
    to your command line to explicitely override the path set ?
    regards,

  • [SOLVED] Where did the arrows on the scrollbars go?

    I'm currently using Cinnamon (Gnome 3) with the default Adwaita theme.  It's the base install that I haven't customized anything to.
    One of my first problems was the lack of the up and down arrows on the top and bottom of the scrollbar -- ie like in Firefox and Gnome Terminal
    I was able to add the arrows within Firefox by modification of the /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/gtk-2.0/gtkrc file and specifically changing the sections:
        GtkScrollbar::has-backward-stepper        = 1 
        GtkScrollbar::has-forward-stepper        = 1
    Although this solved my lack of arrows with Firefox, I still don't have any up/down arrows in programs like gnome shell and within the file manager.  Is there any suggestion on where I can make a modification to add these?  Gnome Tweak Tool didn't really help.

    I had been modifying the global /usr setting.
    This is the best solution I have found - in the users home directory!
    Pick up your changes without logging out:
    Close terminal window
    Hit ALT-F2
    type restart

    There isn't a setting. On the keyboard of a notebook that has this feature it is on the F5 key.  It is the lit key in the following image from the keyboard of my current HP Product loan. It is the enable\disable backlight key.

  • 7.0 How to setup where is the option to set where photos come from?

    Since I uploaded to 7.0 I no longer see the option to set where my IPOD should look for photos, I do not noty see a photo tab of any kind. How do I do that with this 7.0?

    here's a link to a screenshot of where the Photos tab
    shows up for me in 7.0.1.8:
    b's view of the photos tab
    in 7.0.1.8
    Only thing is you have to have the IPOD hooked up in oder to get that options. I got that options before (before I upgraded) without having to pluge in my IPOD. Ok so thats the difference. Thank you...
