[solved] XFCE - Help customizing for touchscreen / finger friendly UI

Now that I've managed to get the touchscreen installed and working on my daughter's xmas gift I need some help with making it a bit more finger friendly.
1) I'm looking either for a theme (or just a setting somewhere) to make the window/title bar larger. She needs to be able to close windows easily.
2) I'm using wbar and can't get the settings to stick. I've increased the icon size (both manually and with the gui from AUR) but when I reboot it never seems to stick.
3) Is there a setting somewhere to make all programs open full screen?
Thanks all.
**edit: I've got it figured out.
1) I just went to the .gtkrc file of my theme and changed the settings of the following lines: GtkRange::slider_width & GtkRange::stepper_size (both are 30 now)
2) You have to start wbar with a command to change the default icon size
3) devilspie will work, thanks for the heads up.

[solved] XFCE: bind custom script to backlight keys, including Notify?

Hello, the situation is as follows:
My (Toshiba Z30) backlight keys toggle the XFCE-brightness control popup, but they don't control the display brightness.
I found out why: they control /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/brightness instead of /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness. I wasn't able to change that, although testing the kernel parameters acpi_backlight=vendor and acpi_osi='!Windows 2012'. That tip (bottom of the page) given in the arch wiki had no effect OR didn't even let me boot when I tried to adjust the BusID to the output of lspci...
So I got another solution, these selfmade scripts:
/usr/local/bin/darker
#!/bin/bash
CURR=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness`
MIN=3
NEW=$(($CURR-50))
if [ $NEW -lt 5 ]
then
NEW=5
fi
echo $NEW > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
and
/usr/local/bin/brighter
#!/bin/bash
CURR=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness`
MAX=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness`
NEW=$(($CURR+50))
if [ $NEW -gt $MAX ]
then
NEW=$MAX
fi
echo $NEW > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
which work.
Assigning these scripts to keys also works with "sudo darker" / "sudo brighter" and adding them via visudo.
The only thing missing to make it perfect, is the combination:
Using the default brightness keys including the XFCE onscreen notification/popup binded to those scripts. (Just assigning to the brightness keys would make me lose the on screen notifiaction/popup...)
So how is that possible, has anyone an idea?

Thanks, that's quite good, except that multiple key-presses lead to multiple notification popups which is not sooo nice bad acceptable. (And as this is run by root, a sudo xfce4-notifyd-config is necessary to configure the notification.)
for reference:
/usr/local/bin/brighter
#!/bin/bash
CURR=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness`
MAX=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness`
NEW=$(($CURR+20))
if [ $NEW -gt $MAX ]
then
NEW=$MAX
fi
echo $NEW > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
notify-send "Backlight $(($NEW*100/$MAX)) %"
/usr/local/bin/darker
#!/bin/bash
CURR=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness`
MIN=3
MAX=`cat /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/max_brightness`
NEW=$(($CURR-20))
if [ $NEW -lt 5 ]
then
NEW=5
fi
echo $NEW > /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness
notify-send "Backlight $(($NEW*100/$MAX)) %"
So any idea how to avoid these multiple notifications? notify-send --help wasn't helpful for me.

How to create a help view for a customized error message

Can you guide me how to create a help view for a customized error message, we need to put some suggestions in it so that user can can resolve this issue with this guide. ( the short text is too short to describe all situations via TC:SE91)
Thanks very much!

Could you brief your concerns again.
Why don't you maintain long text in message class for long description.

Few days before I brought one iphone 5 by second party and this phone make a unlock but it sometime have a cellular network most of time say no service can u solve this problem please and I put serial number it say this phone is replace can u help me for original serial number....

If Apple's service database says that your iPhone was replaced, then Apple will no longer provide any service for that phone.
First, get a new SIM from your cell carrier and see if that corrects the problem. If it does not, try the usual steps for addressing software problems: restart, reset, restore.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you try restoring from a backup and that doesn't fix the problem, try restoring to factory settings and, if the problem goes away, then sync back your apps and content. You'll lose the app data and settings, but if the problem is due to a corrupt cache or settings file, restoring to factory settings should cure it.
If none of that helps, your device may have developed a hardware fault. Again, Apple will provide no service for it, so you will need to pay some independent repair shop to fix your iPhone.
Regards.

Impliment the correction as specified in the sap Note 594873.. sect III.
You can take the help of your basis team for downloading it Using Tcode "SNOTE" and if you have sufficient authorizations you can do it your self..

Custom Help text for Oracle Apps

Hello All,
We are currently on 10.7SC(!) and would like to know how we can customise the online help files to include text that is specific to our setup.
Basically, we would like the 'Window Help' option for some key forms (PO entry, Invoice workbench, etc..) to contain the custom text.
Has anyone done this before? Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks,
Vipul.

I'd post this in weblogic.developer.interest.management or
weblogic.developer.interest.management.console newsgroup, since no security code
is envolved here.

Welcome to the Apple community Dieumai.
If you mean that Find My Phone is asking for a password to a different Apple ID to your current Apple ID.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Customizing for FI-SL error.

Hi all.
We have a customizing for FI-SL on TCODE GCIN (Table Group). One of table has been modified on TCODE SE11, so, when we enter on TCODE GCIN an try to modify our Table Group, SAP sent us the follow error: Message GG579: You can´t edit the table ZTERNIUM (error detail: You want to change, display or delete table group ZTERNIUM. You cannot do so because either the table group was not created using this tool or subsequent manual changes were made to the table group in the ABAP/4 Dictionary.) The question is: How can we do to solve this problem? Exist a solution?
Best Regards.

Hi Moises,
Please note that this is caused by the fact that the table has been edited with SE11 which is not allowed, you can see this in the inactive versions. This change is not allowed because it causes inconsistencies between other FI-SL tables and the index.
The 'normal' procedure to modify or add a new field in FI-SL table is :
1) edit the table group and install the change with trx.GCIN
2) add sender/receiver field in variable field movement (trx.GCF2) used for necessary activities
3) if historical data need to be updated, then data has to be deleted and reposted.
To 'recover' this situation, you must take the following actions below. First, check transaction GCIN -> check displays error messages.
The error message shown there must be repaired.
Afterwards, the system should allow ZTERNIUM to be edited from trx.GCIN.
The table should also be installed. In case of error, you should make a database adjustment with SE14.
Afterwards RGZZGLUX should be executed while no posting/update is processed.
This is to regenerate FI-SL related include programs.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Vanessa.

Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379

Help Needed for Internet Security Driving Test!

Hi I came up with a few basic rules for family and friends
that I put together in order to try to prevent them from
continually installing spyware, toolbars, keyloggers and viruses on
their computers (and as a result, to try to prevent them from
continually calling me and asking for my help and advice when they
did this and things went wrong).
To all intents and purposes the rules worked well - for a
while. I set it up as a simple RTF document and I added this to the
start up folder of Windows XP, so that it started every time the PC
started. However, over time some of them simply learned to ignore
the rules and to close the RTF document as soon as it opened
without paying any attention to it at all - and then they went
about their merry business of installing spyware, keyloggers and
viruses etc. just as they had in the past.
So OK, I have to admit I found this deeply frustrating - but
I also realise that this is the same position that many of us geeks
are in in that on the whole, most average everyday computer users
don't have a clue about Internet security.
Now however things have become a lot more serious for me, as
I have been asked by a local charity to administer a total of 60
machines over 2 different sites - and I have also been asked if I
could provide some form of training with regard to basic personal
Internet security.
With this in mind I came up with the idea of an interactive
CDROM, or Flash based Internet security driving test/tutorial that
basically covers all of the scenarios I touch on in my rules.
This tutorial would cover basic things like, if you got an
email from a representative ex President of an African country
offering you a share in millions of dollars of stolen money, or if
you got an email from your bank asking you to verify your security
details and so on, what would you do? Additionally it would cover
such things as the abundance of viruses that infest many of the
porn sites on the net, the way that many games on the Internet that
are listed as being 'free' (particularly those which are in
executable file format) are often just vehicles for more spyware
and viruses also - and about the dangers of chat lines, of spoof
security warnings on web sites and so on.
I have included my list of rules below which should hopefully
give you an idea of what I'm trying to do. Be warned though, the
wording is deliberately harsh and perhaps a little extreme (and as
a result maybe not entirely 100% accurate) but you must realize
that I am, or was trying to give myself the easiest time possible
and the least possible problems. So you may well find things you
disagree with in it - but overall if someone followed these rules,
they probably would be less likely to run into problems than
someone who did not follow them might.
The thing is however that (as I said) I would like to
formalise these rules somewhat in the format of some kind of
interactive tutorial/web security driving test. Unfortunately I
have no experience with flash - and little knowledge of HTML or
anything like that. I also know that the language for these rules
isn't quite right, in that it probably isn't suitable for a formal
office type environment.
I had in mind that the tutorial would show some realtime
examples of some of the things I have been talking about (which I
assume would only be possible in Flash?) or perhaps rather like a
readers digest multiple choice type thing, with screenshots
depicting the various scenarios in question. (Like a screenshot of
a flash animation on a web page saying 'You have won a prize!!!'
What would you do? a) click on the ad, b, ignore it, or c) phone
all of your family and friends informing them of your good fortune
before doing anything.' etc.
So I was wondering, are there any good hearted charitable
souls out there who might be willing to help out to put a tutorial
like this together?
Again I remind you that it really is for a charity
(specifically the Depaul Trust in the UK, which helps young
vulnerable people find secure accommodation, provides educational
opportunities and helps them to find employment). The requirement
would be that all staff and students pass the Internet security
test before being granted Internet access.
I know this might be time consuming - but again all I can do
is appeal to the sense of kindness and helpfulness of this
community and hope that someone who does have some experience in
these maters might be willing to help.
Alternatively could anyone suggest a simple easy to use
software package that would allow a relative n00b like me to put
together a tutorial like this on my own? Or perhaps it is possible
that some free online tutorial like this already exists?
In any case, any help at all would be appreciated.
PS,
Here are the rules I have that I referred to above.
http://download305.mediafire.com/b6ndmljht1bg/29bbnnbz2uz/internet+rules.rtf

Dennis, when I look at the subject three clips (EI 1250, EI 640, and EI 320, respectively, and in that order) as presented in the camera, I see exactly what I have expected all along -- three different-brightness images that are progressively brighter from the EI 1250 exposure to the EI 320 exposure. So, am mystified why when I open these images (clips), say, in RAW Viewer, wherein I have thought that I would see the same progressive brightness differences allowing me to experiment with reducing brightness to deal with noise reduction, all three of the images present completely alike in brightness.

Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control

hi experts,
Search help (PREM) for personal no. is not coming in ALV grid table control.
i have assigned the srch help (prem) to my 'ZFIEXP_PROJALLOC' table for the emp_id.
but in output it is now showing the help.

ls_fcat-edit = 'X'.
ls_fcat-coltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
ls_fcat-seltext = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
append ls_fcat to pt_fieldcat.
clear ls_fcat.
Then i tried to solve it using the PA0002 . ie.,
ls_fcat-fieldname = 'EMPLOYEE CODE'.
ls_fcat-ref_table = 'PA0002'.
ls_fcat-ref_field = 'PERNR'.

with this it is showing the help in employee code, but, when i click on an empl number, it is not added to my table control and allowing me to add the number by typing them.
plz help me.
thanks.

Hi
In the layout give layout-sel_mode = 'A'. and

I have been a loyal customer for years and have a hot spot because internet options are very limited in our rural area. I have stayed with 10G since the beginning. Most months I don't use the 10G. Verizon has no problem with me paying for Data I don't use. This month my daughter comes home from College and she accidentally uses 24G.....14 over get blind sided with $140.00 in overages. I called Verizon today......stopped in to the store today......My neighbor told me they waved charges for her one time. Lots of charges.....But I'm am getting no help. Not even an offer of a payment plan to help me out. I went back just 6 months and I have over paid for 19G.....Seems like they would like to help out their loyal customers!!!! Does anybody have any suggestions on how to deal with them? We are not wealthy....or I would just pay this and walk away......

There is a big misconception in what customers believe a cell carrier is obligated to do.
You pay a set price to use up to that amount of xx data. It makes no difference if you use it to the paid limit or way under. Its like peace of mind when you don't have to worry about a data counter.
Your daughter used the data, your plan is quite clear of what overage charges are. Why should or would Verizon wireless just forgive the charges because you are a customer? Your daughter used the data, get the money from her. That is the responsible thing to do.
There is no "I have been a loyal customer so please remove the $120, or $250, or $2,000.00 since I did not mean to use it"
Your electric company, or gas company or any other company does not remove valid charges. Why should Verizon wireless?
Just pay the invoice and don't think you are being mistreated because Verizon is a business and not a charity.
Good Luck
