Thank you, this was driving me crazy.  When I went to open a xfce-terminal (not xterm), it would not "focus" on it.. it was driving me nuts.
Needless to say, I checked, and rechecked, and rechecked my settings for focus.. probably messing something up in the process, all because exo was bugged (!!!??).
(bump me, but now they got to fix Thunar.  Thunar is not updating files in folders.)

    Hi Leo22,
    Does this error occur if you use any of the example programs that come shipped with LabVIEW? I would try opening one of the examples that write data to Word and see if those give you an error. Also, have you tried just putting down a New Report.VI and change the report type to Word? If this simple vi (that's all you need to open Word) breaks, I would check to see if there are any instances of Word still open. Check the task manager to see if any word processes are still open. There should not be a problem accessing Word 2003 from LabVIEW 7.0. If neither of these solutions work, please give some more detail about your application and we can research further. Thanks!

    How do I open Launchpad when it will not open by the suggested methods?

    Then reinstall OS X. See if that helps:
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • [solved] xfce4-terminal spam after update to util-linux 2.25-3

    I use the setterm command inside a file in /etc/profile.d so that I can prevent the screen from blanking when using a console, along with a couple of other things.
    After the latest update to util-linux (2.25-3), whenever I open xfce4-terminal these lines show up:
    setterm: terminal xterm does not support --blength
    setterm: terminal xterm does not support --bfreq
    setterm: terminal xterm does not support --blank
    [gilmoreja@JamesPC ~]$
    Is there a better way to handle making sure setterm runs when a console is used, but not necessarily when a terminal is opened? Or is there some other way to solve this issue? There doesn't seem to be a switch for setterm for any kind of "quiet mode."

    I think that the shell started in a console is a login shell, and it is not the case in a graphical terminal.
    A login shell has a '-' at the start of $0; so you can test that and condition the execution of the setterm commands:
    if [[ $0 == '-bash' ]]; then
    setterm ...
    setterm ...
    fi

  • [Solved] xfce4-terminal --hide-toolbars or --hide-toolbar?

    Anybody notice that the --hide-toolbars option is no longer plural (with s suffix)???  The plural form has been replaced by the singular (no s suffix) form.  The man for xfce4-terminal still shows the plural option.  This change occurred on the last xfce4-terminal update (Version 0.6.1-1).

  • [SOLVED] xfce4-terminal doesn't tab-autocomplete with sudo commands

    Wondering if this is a limitation of xfce4-terminal or something that can be enabled.
    In xfce4-terminal, if I type pac and press tab key, it autocompletes to pacman. If I type sudo pac and press tab, it won't autocomplete. The same is true when trying to complete anything after starting with sudo as the first word of the command. Paths resolve fine though after sudo, just not program names or commands.
    Fixable?

    Thank you so much
    I went for the option to add it in my ~/.bashrc file instead of installing the bash-completion package. Rebooted and it works!

  • Thundrbird - How do I stop an other message opening automatically when I delete an open message

    When I have an open message that I delete another message opens automatically. If the message being deleted was the last message then the message immediately above this message opens even if its already been read. I don't want any message to open unless I specifically click on it. How do I set this up?

  • Application folder in finder opens up when i try to open an application

    Hi..When i try to open up an application, The Application folder opens up instead. Its as if i am holding down the command key while clicking the app, But i am not. What could be causing this?

    System Preferences > Accessibility > Keyboard. Verify that Enable Sticky Keys is not selected.
    Restart your Mac. If the behavior remains unchanged continue.
    Select the entire line that follows (triple-click to select it), then control-click, and from the contextual menu that appears, select Services > Reveal in Finder:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.dock.plist
    Drag the selected file to the Desktop. Then, log out / log in again, or re-launch the Finder, and determine if the Dock problems are fixed. If not you can always drag that file back to its original location, overwriting the newly created one.
    Back up your Mac prior to making any changes. To learn how to use Time Machine read Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support.

  • [SOLVED]Doesn't openmpi work when called by fakeroot?

    I found that I can't use mpicc when I was writing a PKGBUILD.
    It seems that the mpicc doesn't work under fakeroot.
    Here is a simple PKGBUILD show how it's happened.
    pkgname=Testing-openmpi-on-fakeroot
    pkgver=1337
    pkgrel=42
    arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
    makedepends=('openmpi')
    build() {
    mpicc --help
    Later, I found that I couldn't even run this simple command on my machine.
    fakeroot mpicc --help
    Another example shows makepkg was unable to achieve coherence.
    pkgbase=More_Testing_mpicc
    pkgname=('Testing_mpicc_example')
    pkgver=x86
    pkgrel=64
    arch=('i686')
    makedepends=('openmpi')
    build() {
    mpicc --help # ok: it works.
    package_Testing_mpicc_example() {
    mpicc --help # error: called by fakeroot.
    Won't that fail to run, or am I missing something?
    Some information:
    pacman 3.5.2-1
    openmpi 1.5.3-2
    gcc 4.6.0-3
    fakeroot 1.15.1-1
    Linux 2.6.38.3-1
    Last edited by ytj (2011-04-24 07:11:59)

    There is a way to avoid this issue. Don't put everything in build().
    Split the install part to package().
    Then the makepkg will enter fakeroot after build() finished.
    pkgname=Final-test-openmpi-on-fakeroot
    pkgver=9527
    pkgrel=101010
    arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
    makedepends=('openmpi')
    build() {
    mpicc --help # ok: now this works.
    package() {
    mkdir $pkgdir/tmp
    # Install something.
