[Solved] Which are really needed?
Hello all,
After spending some time with Crunchbang and minimal installations of Ubuntu, I'm thinking about trying out Arch once again - and staying this time, that is. I already managed to install and configure Arch twice before, so it's not that I'm unable to do so. I was just wondering, which of the daemons mentioned in the Beginners' Guide (alsa, network daemons, udev, hal etc) are really necessary? This time I want to keep everything as slick and clean as possible, so I'd like to know which daemons I can remove / don't add.
I only need/want the daemons that will give me, the reguler computer user, a workable environment. (Think like: network (wireless and wired, when wireless isn't available); automount of memory cards, USB sticks and external HDD's; sound; using a wireless USB mouse...)
Oh, almost forgot to mention: I'm using a laptop, if that matters. I hope I'm not asking something incredibly stupid or non-accomplish-able. Thanks in advance!

What exactly does crond do? When googling, I only find cron. Is it the same?
Also, when I install a network manager, wicd for example, and set it to automatically connect with my network, do I need the network daemon?

I have recently purchased the latest ipad. Got to say I am extremely dissapointed that it does not support Java or flash which are platforms needed to do online business banking. I am now faced with ditching an expensive toy for a competitors product that offers full business functionallity. Is there any way round this ? It seems extremely bad form on apples part not to support this or make it very clear of the products limitations at the time of purchase.
Well, my bank has an app but the website does not use Flash or Java. While my credit union doesn't have an app, their website doesn't require Flash or Java either.
I pay all my bills online, bank, and access my brokerage accounts. None of the sites I have encountered require Flash or Java. Some government sites do require Flash so I use Photon, it's a browser that does Flash content very well. So you might check out some alternatives browsers.
Otherwise I suppose you will either dump you bank, your iPad, or just not do online banking. -

What DB roles are REALLY needed by the applications?
During our upgrade, the security / database guys at my office want me to lockdown the db accounts for portal, publisher, collab, anaytics, etc (also services, notification, security...all the alui related databases). They say that dbo is too privileged and I need to figure out just what the applications need and give them access.
My question is...what does each account REALLY need? Some accounts create tables (analytics). Is it sufficient for those accounts to just be given CREATE TABLE privileges? Can every other account just be given normal CRUD access?fair enough.
Ali, where did you find the SQL scripts for Collab? Is it someplace I can view easily?
One comment would be that of course it would be fine for these accounts to have DBO during upgrades, etc, if that is the only time when these 'creating views, indexes, and SP's' are used... -
I really need help. I try to contact support to no avail. There simply is no option on the site, You are always referred to a further topic which has notihing to do with my problem. I bougnt a full master pack CS6 which I had installed on a mac for one year. Then, I decided to change it to another computer, so I sisintalled it according to instructions. In the meantime I got a free trial of creative cloud on that computer, but I gave up and decided to reinstall my cd-roms. However, everytime I try to use acrobat for instance it says that my trial period ran out! I disinstalled my cloud products, I am using my registered full master series items, they have nothing whatsoever to do with my creative cloud FREE subscription. If I try to cancel my free membership, it is to no avail, there simply is no such possiblity. I want to use the software I paid dearly for, not the cloud items I disinstalled and which do not interest me. How can I contact Adobe to fix it? It was no fault of mine, I did all I was supposed to, disintalling items before installing the right ones, but the system must have some error i am not responsible for.
open an app and click help>activate.
if you try to open an app and see a 'your trial has expired" window, click license this software and enter your serial number.
if you can't do either, run the cleaner and make sure cc is cleaned from your computer, Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 -
I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader. Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up. Please could you be of some assistance.
Select one of the files, Choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, look for the field named "Open With", and choose Preview from the adjacent menu. Accept that ALL such files will Open with Preview, and your major problems should be solved.
Occasionally, a particularly complex .pdf file or one that needs to be modified and re-written will not work quite right with Preview, but such issues are rare. -
I guess the problem come from me but I really need those contacts before he calls me for it. I'll try some method that I got from some responders on your support website. Do you have or can you recommand any software that can solve this problem?
One more thing. I just update my iphone that my boss gave to me but it seems to be like it giving me some trouble. My iphone was updated not too long and was successful. I try to lock into it and it telling me emergency call. I plug it to my itune and it telling me that the sim card is not valid or supported. So I inserted my sim card that I usually use to call and it still saying the same. Please help me get into it.And as far as paying for phone support, here are a few tips:
If you call your carrier first and then they route you to Apple, you usually don't have to pay for phone support.
If you are talking to Apple and they ask you to pay a support fee, ask if you can get an exception this time. That usually works once, but they keep track of the times you've been granted such an exception.
If you still end up paying the support fee, that fee only applies if it's not a hardware related issue. In other words, if it can be fixed by just talking over the phone and following Apple's instructions, then the fee applies. But if your device is deemed to have a hardware failure that caused the issue, then the fee should not apply, and you can ask for it to be waived after the fact.
This forum is free, and almost all of the technical support articles the Apple tech advisors use are available on this website. Literally 99% of what they can do over the phone is just walking you through the publicly available support articles. In other words, you're paying the fee to have them do your research for you. It's like hiring a research consultant to go look stuff up in the public library so you don't have to. You're capable of doing it; you'd just rather pay someone to do it for you.
It's like Starbucks. You know how to make coffee. Everyone knows how to make coffee. And Starbucks coffee isn't any better than what you could make at home for far less. But you want the convenience. So you're really paying a convenience fee. Milk is more expensive at 7-Eleven than it is at the grocery store... because it's a convenience store. -
Hello. My mac can't connect to my time capsule. There is no response and I can't put it back to the originals definitions because all my files are there and I can´t loose them. (sorry about my bad english, but I really need help!)
Your files are unaffected by a reset.. no reset via the reset button on the TC harms, deletes or does anything to your files.
The Factory Reset universal
Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on.. all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
Release reset.
If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel.. add no more pressure after that.
TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
Here is how to do a fully manual setup for TC which is sometimes necessary with Mavericks in particular.
Airport Utility shows "unexpected error - please try again" when connecting to Time Capsule -
Which alsa modules do I really need?
Hi everyone,
I set up sound on a very old PC. At first I set module autoloading in rc.conf, in order to check which sound modules my hardware need. I then realized it could take up to 20 seconds to load udev events at boot time, so I put my sound modules in rc.conf and disabled module autoloading. It brought udev time down to 5 seconds.
I wonder if I can bring it to an even lower value. I suspect some of my sound modules aren't really needed. I'd appreciate some advices to identify which modules are needed, and which are not.

thxThanks! I removed pcspkr already. So I have to check which modules are really dedicated to my audio hardware. I suspect none of the 3 you mention are actually needed. I guess I'll have to use lshwd or such.
Is OSSv4 lighter than ALSA. I've never used it before, and I don't really care about audio quality (sound comes out from crappy monitor speakers...). -
This article is vague and unhelpful. My iTunes needs help from a pro.
I have over 120,000 songs -- NO movies, TV, radio, or books...
I have other programs which efficiently run things which are not audio-based.
So why can I not get iTunes working well?? It now takes at least 10 secs for any operation to be completed!
That is just plain evil. But I am sure I could do something to help.
All the music is on an 2T external drive.TS1717 as noted in the thread title...
Brigancook, is the library database on the external or just the media? iTunes reevaluates smart playlists and rewrites its database after every action on the library. I've found this can make a library half that size, with a lot of smart playlists, quite sluggish. That said I'm aware part of my problem is aging hardware. Having the database on the internal drive may improve performance if it is currently on the external.
I'd expect to see an exponential relationship between size and response time which may explain what you see. Cutting down on the number of smart playlists might help. If we're really lucky the long awaited iTunes 11 might have streamlined some of the background processes as well as cleaning up the front end.

Hi everyone..I really need some help! My computer went in for repair and cleaning. The music in my itunes library at the time was backed up on discs. I had not resynced my ipod touch with computer since that occurred in May of this year. Since then I have purchased an iphone and some new music was purchased as well. My phone has the new music (which is about 100 songs). Yesterday I decided I was ready to get everything organized and put all my music on my ipod and my apps on my phone. I have, as it would appear, reloaded all my music back into my library (a little over 1000 songs) as I can see the music and I can open and play it through itunes. I have resynched my ipod touch. All the music that was on my ipod touch has now been taken off and the only music that synched with it is the music I have purchased since I bought my iphone (only about 100 songs). Can't get all music on my ipod at all. Additionally, my account is not recognizing the touch as one of my devices. Any help at all would be appreciated!
You can contact Apple and request a 1-time redownload of your lost purchases. Of course, they prefer you follow some of these recommendations on backing up your purchases.
I think the e-mail form on this page is the best place to start for requesting the replacement download. -
Need to Download documents from Km which are shown thru Navigation iview
HI,
I have created a KM navigation Iview and gave the path of documents which are stored in KM.
Now the documents are in KM and can be shown by this iview.
When i click on any document, it is getting opened automatically.
But i dont want this way, when the user clicks on document a pop-up should be given to download the document.
can i know how is it possible?
Also just beside the document, when i click on breadcrumb i can see many options like save, copy, rename....etc.
where i dont what to shown this all options beside documents.
Can you please tell me how to remove this breadcrumb for some particular documents.
Regards,
Raju

Edited by: V R K Raju P on Jul 20, 2009 7:31 PMHello, you can achieve this creating a custom layout set. To do so, go to
System Administration > System Configuration > Knowledge Management > Content Management > User Interface > Settings > Layout Set
Choose a layout set - Consumer Explorer for example - check it and select Advanced Copy
Under Scope of Duplication leave only Collection Renderer Settings checked
Under Naming Conventions fill the blanks as your needs (I usually add company name as prefix)
Click on Execute, your layout set is now created.
Search for it and click to display its properties, there you'll find the four main items that compose a LayoutSet:
- Layout Controller
- Collection Renderer
- Resource Renderer
- Commands for Details Menu
You wanna work on the Collection Renderer, notice it's a custom one created during the copy. Select it to edit to chage settings.
Put the following entry under Displayed Properties:
rnd:icon,rnd:displayname(contentLink),rnd:command(command=download/style=icon),contentlength,modified
Save.
On your KM Navigation iView set the Layout Set property with this one you've just created.
This should do the basics you're asking:
- a link to download the documents
- no context menu with undesired commands
In this scenario I've eliminated complety the context menu, if you want to have the menu with just
some options you must work on UI Commands and UI Commands Group, which I suggest doing after
you have basics knowledge on layout sets only..
You can find on SDN lots of documents and threads about KM User Interface, have a special look into Layout Set, Collection Renderers and UI Commands/Groups
kind regards,

I cannot get itunes to work/install on myPC. I am running windows 8 in a 64 bit machine. I also want to purchase books via itunes for my Nook. Are you deliberately excluding PC owners so we cannot use ituens on our computers???? I have selected a community but have no idea what community I should be working with. Can somone explai these communities to me? Also. you don't allow much time to go thru the sign up process. I had to start over SEVERAL times as you kept timing me out. Jesus...when people are signing up for the first time, we have no idea of the questions that will be asked. Give us a break and give us time to sign up. Not everone is disability free and able to go thru your process quickly...you are NOT user friendly. You should be for people who are wanting to join your community. I used to want an Apple product but now that I have had first hand experience with your web page, I think I will probably stay away from Apple products. VERY DISAPPOINTING

How to determine which Visual C++ Redistributables are really required?
A client's PC came with a whole load of unwanted Desktop-Applications pre-installed, which were consequently removed. Unfortunately, there are still various generations of Visual C++ runtimes to be found on the system. - Is there a reliable way
to determine which of those are still needed after cleaning up those unwanted apps?
________________ drahnierHi,
Let's take Microsoft Visual C++2010 Redistributable Package as example:
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package installs runtime components of Visual C++ Libraries required to run applications developed with Visual C++ on a computer that does not have Visual C++ 2010 installed.
This package installs runtime components of C Runtime (CRT), Standard C++, ATL, MFC, OpenMP and MSDIA libraries.
While, I don't think there any reliable way to determine which of those package still needed after removed them.
In my opinion, these package doesn't occupy too much space, why not keep them in case an application that need them.

Layers in my PDF which are switched to visible are not showing - how do I solve this?
I am creating MXD files in Arc GIS, and then exporting them to Adobe Professional 8. I am merging layers within Adobe Pro, and then switching the initial view so that only 4 out of the ~10 layers are visible when the PDF is first opened. However, on opening the PDF, layers which are set to be visible (the eye symbol is appearing next to them) are not visible. This is only happening for some layers, in some of the PDFs. Also, as I switch on more layers in the PDF then the layer which should have been visible but was not does eventually appear. I would be very grateful for any suggestions on why this is happening / how to solve it. Thanks.
I'm not sure if this setting exists in version 8, but check to see if Allow Layer State To Be Set By User Information is selected in the Documents Preferences. If it is not selected, Layer Properties dialog box settings, other than Layer Name and Default State, are ignored.
