[SOLVED] xterm colors differ from any other TTY

Hello,
I have a bit of a problem concerning the colors in xterm. To illustrate the difference between the colors in any other TTY (Gnome terminal in this case) and the colors in xterm, let me show you an alsa restart:
*snip*
You might say that I have been tinkering with the color palette of xterm, but I haven't. I've tried to restore the colors to default but it doesn't seem to help, which is pretty logical since they should be set to default.
Is this a known issue? What can be done about it?
Thanks in advance!
SOLUTION:
Instead of starting xterm with "xterm -rv", I use "xterm -bg black -fg white". The -rv option somehow messes things up for bold text, and the -bg/fg options seem to do the trick.

I would, but I'm affraid both my useraccount and the root account don't have a .Xdefaults file. I thought it was only used if you'd wish to change the default X settings, so I figured: no .Xdefaults = default X settings.
EDIT:
I found out it has got something to do with the swapping of colors: I use "xterm -rv" to get a white-on-black terminal, look at what I get when I start a non-video-reversed xterm:
EDIT:
Fixed!

How can I make addons available for enterprise users by an central service and forbid the installation from any other sources

in the company I´m working for it´s not possible to install add-ons by the Users . That´s what I´m going to change.
We use Firefox ESR 17 and Window 7.
I want to make add-ons available for everybody by integrating an internal central service. That is possible by customizing the "extension.webservice.discoverURL" to the server I´m talking about. The Problem is that nobody should be able to install add-ons from any other source, for example addons.mozilla.org, local media,...
Do you have an idea, how this problem can be solved?
Maybe there is a possibility by using the lockPref "xpiinstall.enabled false" in conjunction with a whitelist defining my Server?

Does any of this or similar blogs by the same author help

Although with many hacks there could be some sort of workaround that advanced users may employ when attempting to circumvent the measures, such as the ability to use Firefox in safe-mode and then install add-ons, or even run a browser from a memory stick.
You may well get a better answer on some other forum. This mozillazine forum deals with some coding issues, not sure but they may consider your sort of question on topic.

How can I set Firefox 8.0 to accept 3rd party cookies ONLY from selected sites but NOT from any other sites?

I do not like to accumulate 3rd party cookies and would simply not check the Accept 3rd Party Cookies box in Preferences. BUT in order to use my bank's web page I have to accept 3rd party cookies from a separate site that manages some of their transactions (like paying bills). This means I have to accept 3rd party cookies and then delete them by hand OR I have to check the accept box each time I use the bank's website and then uncheck it when I am done.

Thanks, but that is not what I was trying to do. I do not want to block cookies from a single site. I do not want to block all 3rd party cookies.
What I want to do is ACCEPT 3rd party cookies only from ONE site but NOT from any other site.

I can no longer connect to the internet from any other device.

Having successfully upgraded to OS X Mavericks from Snow Leopard I can now no longer connect to the internet from any other device. I have an iPhone 4S, a Galaxy Tab, and an internet radio, none of which can connect to the internet since the upgrade. They connect to my BT Home Hub without a hitch, it’s just that they do not connect at all to any website. All was fine before the update.
The upgrade was to my iMac and that’s fine, no connection or surfing issues.

Cannot print to Adobe Acrobat X from any other program

I recently installed Acrobat X on my Windows XP3 system. Previously, the Adobe Printer installed by the Acrobat 8 was accessible from any other program. I simply chose the Adobe PDF printer and the documents "printed" to Acrobat. With the Acrobat X install, this no longer works.
I've tried repairing the Acrobat X - no luck
I've tried deleting the Adobe PDF printer and then allowing Acrobat to re-install the printer during the repair - no luck
I've checked the Adobe PDF printer properties, and do not have "Enable advanced printing features" checked.
I am using the print spooler.
The Adobe PDF printer is using the Adobe PDF Converter driver.
I've read through a number of discussions/posts, and have not found a solution. I am working around the problem by printing to pdfFactory program and then saving as a .pdf, then managing the files in Acrobat X.
If anyone is aware of a solution/location, please respond to this post.

Are you saying there is no Adobe PDF printer, or it does not work? If it simply that it does not seem to work, then try to print to file with the printer. Then open the file in Distiller. If you get a resultant PDF, then the problem is most likely that you have somehow deactivated AcroTray.exe in the running applications. The program is in the Acrobat folder and needs to be started in that case. It should also be listed in your boot sequence for startup.

There has never been a Mac version of Access. Microsoft never created one, realising that it was very inferior to the FileMaker Pro database application.
So if you must run Access you will have to run Windows on your mac.

I myself just uses the standard colors and don't change them from default, but I do get the same colors for both ls and completion with this in .zshrc:

Why does Photoshop display colors differently from the other applications even in sRGB mode ?

Hello all !
Here is my problem :
Photoshop is set to use sRGB workspace (in edit/colors.../workspace/RVB).
If I understand correctly this is how all native windows applications work.
This means Photoshop and the other applications should display the same colors on a file with a sRGB profile.
Now this is the case until I calibrate my monitor.
When I do, Photoshop colors become different from the other applications (irfanview, explorer, browsers...).
The only way I found to let everything display the same colors is to set Photoshop to use Proofing/RVB Monitor.
What upsets me even more is that Photoshop colors look "better" to me (dark grays seem to dark to me in the other applications.)
I have read that this is because Photoshop takes the new profile into account and others applications do not. But I don't think this is relevant here because everything is in sRGB so the only profile is my monitor's and I think calibration is handled globally by windows : everything (including browsers, explorer, and Photoshop) changes color if I choose to apply the monitor's profile or not with windows color management tool ("use my parameters for this device").
Here is my system configuration :
- Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2)
- Windows 7 64 bits
- HP ZR2440W and DELL 2209WA (these are not wide gamut screens)
I have spent two days trying to figure the logics behind this and really am upset. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Don't hesitate to ask me if there is something that is unclear or some information I forgot to mention.
Thanks in advance,
Yannick

That sounds like an invitation to continue to talk about the issue. Fair enough.
I'm not sure where you're getting "insecurity"... I am just trying to help you help others more effectively.
I invite you to re-read just the first sentence of what you wrote very carefully, putting yourself in the shoes of someone struggling with both the terminology and the concepts:
Photoshop (CMS) reads an embedded ICC profile and CONVERTS it to the custom monitor profile for a theoretical 'true color' display
Think about what "Photoshop (CMS)" might mean to a person who doesn't know the acronym might stand for "Color Management System" (which is I assume what you meant). Adobe themselves don't call it "CMS", they use the acronym "CMM" (Color Management Module). The term "CMS" is used in the computer industry for about a dozen different things.
While a color profile might have been embedded in an image file before it was opened by Photoshop, Photoshop works on documents. A profile is not "embedded" in a document, it is maintained by Photoshop with the document and describes the color values in the document. If Photoshop opens a document without an embedded profile, depending on settings and user choices it might assign a profile or it might even operate on the document without color-management. Oversimplification doesn't help people when they're trying to learn new things unless it's described as such, for example, "This is a bit of an oversimplification..." or "Generally speaking..."
Not every monitor profile is a "custom monitor profile". Quite often a standard profile (e.g., sRGB IEC61966-2.1) is associated with a monitor by the operating system as a default, or a factory profile is installed by a driver package or system update. Your use of the term "custom" is a bit ambiguous and could be read as implying the creation of a profile using a calibration and profiling device specific to the particular monitor.
Photoshop's color management code does not convert an embedded ICC profile at all (read carefully what you wrote). As I said, it transforms color values. That was the key error in your description that prompted me to comment.
If ever there is a time to pick words carefully, it's in a color-management discussion.

Hp d110a prints blurry from any iOS device, but not from any other kind of device.

My D110a prints blurry...almost like a shadow...when printing via AirPrint on any iOS device, but if I print from other devices, or just print a report, it prints correctly. I have attempted to search on the device's control panel (both on the device and web-based) to see if there is a print setting, and I will also check my router.
Does anyone know why this would be happening? I have access to another HP ePrint All-In-One at my job, and my iPad prints fine to that printer.
Thanks much,
Chris

Hello Choirguy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I understand when printing from Apple Devices with the AirPrint driver it prints blurry. We know it is not the HP Photosmart D110a, as you can print reports from the front panel with no problem and all other Operating systems are fine and print correctly. Please let me know the following:
1. Is the D110a connected directly to a wall outlet, without power strips or surge protectors connected?
2. What other devices are you able to successfully print from, and how are they connected USB or Wireless>
3. Do you have any software installed on the devices that are able to print from?
I will watch for your reply, so we can continue.
Thanks,
HevnLgh
