Steps to install my dell vostro 1710, where to put them in wiki?

Hi All,
I'm planning to reinstall my dell vostro 1710, and I would like to document the steps I have taken to install Arch on it.
What's the best place for it in the wiki? I'm thinking about this page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ca … English%29
Is this the best place?
Best regards,
Cedric

Yes.

In that case, there may be a problem with your Finder preferences or window settings.
Try removing these files, then restarting:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
~/Desktop/.DS_Store
Let me know if you're not sure how to do that.

Columns in Finder windows won't stay where I put them!

WHen I open a finder window, put in LIST VIEW, then re-size my columns - everything is good now I can do stuff. BUT WAIT! I do one thing: dragging one folder and nesting it into another and BAM! The columns re-size back to the default. This is a deal-killer for me. I cannot work like this! If there is no fix, SOrry, but goodbye apple and hello Windows.

Open window is a folder named "Photos".
It contains many sub folders: Backyard photos, front yard photos, vacation photos, etc.
It also contains a ton of image files - that I'm sorting into their respective folders.
When I drag an image file titled "Backyard sunny" into the sub-folder "Backyard photos"... the columns all snap back to their default settings. FORCING ME TO RESIZE THEM.... then I drag another photo into another folder and the same thing happens again. THIS IS A SHUTDOWN OF MY USING MAC OS. I either need to return to Mavericks, or this needs to be fixed somehow. This never happened before, and it won't happen in the future, not on my desktop. I'd hate to start asking my wife to start teaching me windows. I've been a mac person my whole computing life (since the early 1990's) and never have I run into a show-stopper like this.
My computer is NON-FUNCTIONAL if the columns won't stay where I put them!

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them!

How can I stop Lion tidying my desktop and putting all my icons in alphabetical order. I like my files to stay where I put them! Every morning I boot up and all my desktop items have been moved. How can I stop this?
By the way - Lion is the worst 'upgrade' ever.

Hello again:
I've been to 'view' - and all I can see are the same options as before. Nothing which says the equivalent of 'stop Lion tidying my desktop alphabetically every time I boot up' - alas.
Hmmm. Try something:
Trash a preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restart. Then go to the view option while in Finder. There should be a "show view options." Select that and sort by "none."
FWIW, I have had no discernable change in speed under OS X 10.7, but that is just my system. I only use Adobe's free stuff. Have you checked with Adobe to see if there are updates available? I rarely use text edit so I have no benchmark. I don't like the missing save as either
Barry
P.S. I am not being contrary - I just like to learn from the experiences of others.

CS 6 Image Windows Don't Stay Where I Put Them

I installed CS 6 yesterday. My system runs 64 bit Win 7. In Preferences > Interface, as I did in CS 5, I unchecked both Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window. However, unlike CS 5, in CS 6 images 'insist' on positioning themselves in the upper left corner of CS 6 and will cover both the options bar and the tool bar. For example, this will happen after opening an image if I try to move it or if I enlarge the image window (CTRL-0). If I open two images and try to move one so I can see both at the same time, the one I try to move will not stay where I put it but instead will reposition itself to the upper left, and cover the options bar and menu bar.
As you might image, this makes working in CS 6 difficult and inconvenient. I assume this is a bug, and wonder if there are any workarounds or other solutions. To this point, I have not yet uninstalled and re-installed CS 6. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Best regards,
David

Can we assume you hate the Auto-Hide feature even worse?
Hi,
The answer to your question is 'probably'. I like things to stay put, ideally where I want them. So far my feeling is that having the task bar on the bottom is the lesser of the two 'evils'. But your note reminds me to give auto-hide another try. Thanks.
Best,

Keep custom settings where I put them

On the page where you can check the box "normal" or "custom". I would like to click on normal and have it on certain settings or click on custom and have it be on different settings. Right now, I click on custom and I have to go in and change the settings manually - they are set like my normal settings. What is the purpose of having those boxes to check if they won't stay that way.
I have a hp photosmart 6520.
Thanks you.

Hi PattiChati,
I understand that you would like to set up your settings so they are the default settings. I will try my best to help you get this done. To change the HP Photosmart 6520 e-All-in-One series; HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 6525 e-All-in-One series - Change D... follow the steps in this document. Once you change the defaults then that will be the settings used when you print unless you change them in custom.
I hope this helps, let me know.
Thank you,
I worked on behalf of HP.

Unix domain sockets: How to name them? And where to put them?

I am using unix sockets for inter-process communication in a C++/gtkmm project.
Are there naming conventions and conventions about where to place sockets in the filesystem? In all example code I found, dummies like /home/user/mysocket were being used.
If there are not any conventions: Would it be sensible to put the sockets in /tmp/ and compose the names of the name of the program which uses the concerning socket, and its PID? (The latter also depends on my use case, of course; from that point of view, it seems sensible.)

@Franek: KDE applications place their sockets (through KDE API, of course) in "/tmp/ksocket-foo/bar__0", where "foo" is the user name, "bar" the application name and "0" an increasing counter (in case an application creates more than one socket). Emacs places its server socket in a similar manner "/tmp/emacs1000/server", where "1000" is the UID.
I'd use emacs' name scheme, e.g. "/tmp/bar1000/what_the_socket_is_for", where "bar" is the application name again.
However, do not place sockets directly in "/tmp/". For one thing, it just clutters this global directory, but more importantly it's unsafe, as every other user can inspect these sockets. Create a directory within "/tmp/" and restrict its access rights to the owner (mode 700). Thus other users can't inspect the sockets within that directory. Of course, the access rights of the sockets themselves must also be limited.

Where to put in the Wiki: problems with chromium and gecko-mediaplayer

Hej,
I had some problems to watch embedded wmv files in chromium.
The gecko-mediaplayer plugin did not work, but complained about not being able to load the windows media plugin, although it was correctly installed in the lib-dirs.
Seems this is a common problem on a lot of *nixes, although I did not find a lot regarding arch.
Solution was to use the totem-plugin instead of gecko-mediaplayer.
I wonder what is the correct place to add this to the wiki. Should I just put a note on the browser plugin page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins)?
Zane

It's fairly old, but have you tried https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=113548 ?
However https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Browser_Plugins can be a good place indeed, it already has a troubleshooting entry for gecko mediaplayer.

Need sequence and object - where to put them

Hello:
I am also learning ORACLE coming from MS SQL - lost of interesting new points of views and that is where i am stuck.
Inside a stored procedure, I need to create a temporary space to hold records returned from other stored procedures.
It appears that I should create a TEMPTABLE TYPE AS OBJECT() and a CREATE SEQUENCE unid start with 1 on the TEMPTABLE column...
I seem to recall in one of the numerous articles I have been reading that for the stored procedure to compile, these OBJETCS AND SEQUENCE must exist PRIOR to stored procedure compilation.
If that is true, is that the purpose of creating a package, a space where I can create objects and other sequences and types so that the Stored Procedures know about them before compilation...
So the following wont work.....
create or replace PROCEDURE REP_CS_DETACT_MASTER
DIVISION IN VARCHAR,
BEGINDATE IN VARCHAR,
ENDDATE IN VARCHAR,
MyResultset OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
AS
CREATE SEQUENCE unid start with 1
BEGIN
CREATE TYPE TEMPTABLE AS OBJECT
unid integer,
smid varchar(100),
sm varchar(200),
AssignedCases integer,
ClosedCases integer,
OnHand integer,
RecoveryDollars Money
<++++++++++++++>
END REP_CS_DETACT_MASTER;
Thank you
T

My MS - stored procedure currently creates two temporary tables - if you will - one a toptable and one is temptable.This is how you are doing <something>
In the toptable, I insert a bunch of peoples names that come from what is returned as a result of calling another stored procedure.This is how you are doing <something>
The structure of the TOPTABLE in MSSQL is...
create table #temptable (unid integer identity(1,1), smid varchar(100), sm varchar(200), AssignedCases integer, ClosedCases integer, OnHand integer, RecoveryDollars Money)
so essentially, calling the first stored procedure will result in unid incrementing and smid being populated.This is how you are doing <something>
Then I want to do a series of updates to the following columns as resulting from data called by other procedures.This is how you are doing <something>
So the next stored procedure will populate sm..
update #temptable set sm = <> where smid = ....
unitl all the columns are populatedThis is how you are doing <something>
then the contents are returned to the client and the tables are destroyed.This is how you are doing <something>
there.... There we now have a lot more how and not any more what that <something> that you are doing is.
unless some of you brillant engineers/architects out there have a different approach...I would write a query that returns whatever the <something> is that is needed by the client.

Appleworks Template Placement, where to put them?

I downloaded "[Disk: MISC.34] AppleWorks Label Templates" from the AWUG Misc Download section. My question is... Where do I place all these templates? They are in a folder after extraction with names like 5096.cws. I am running AW 6.2.9. I know there is a template folder, but I don't want them scattered all over the place with these weird file names. I hope you understand my question and can help me.
I also posted this question on the AWUG Forum as well. I apologize for the double post.

You can create any number of folders in Applications > AppleWorks 6 > Starting Points & place the templates there. You can change the names in Finder or you can open the templates in AppleWorks & resave them as templates with a new name. Be sure to navigate to your desired folder in the save dialog with the latter method.

Subversion clients, where to put them in the wiki?

Hi All,
I want to setup a subversion server, and install a non-cli client. In the wiki there is a good article on the installation of the subversion server but it does not mention any clients. Is it OK to add some information about clients at the bottom of the article, or should it be done in a separate page?
The page I'm talking about:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Subversion_Setup

HT1711 My computer caught virus, My songs are listed in my library, but the music files are gone! I have them on my separate hard drive but don't know where to put them back on my computer so itunes recognizes them. Help !

My computer caught a virus. My entire drive was wiped clean, however, I had recently done a backup to a portable hard drive. When I got my computer back from the tech, and logged into my itunes, my library shows all my songs, but NONE of them have a music file associated with it - therefore I cannot play it. I have located the music files on my external hard drive, confirmed they play, but don't know how to go about getting them from my hard drive to my computer. Can someone please help me?????

In iTunes, go to File > Add to Library and select the files/folders you would like to add.
You can also choose to consolidate library after that to move them off the external.

Just upgraded to Illustrator CC. Finding it to be unstable in a number of ways--one in particular being that objects jump spontaneously to layers other than where I put them. What's going on? Is the program stable or not?

I just upgraded to Illustrator CC, thinking it might be the solution to a number of glitches I had been experiencing with CS6. I have posted them in this forum under 'trouble with small things.'
Almost right of the hop, I am finding not only the original bugs I complained about still exist but at least one troublesome new one i.e., objects are spontaneously jumping from the layer I assigned them to another layer. I've had a few suggestions from good-hearted adherents to this forum i.e., fiddle with preferences etc.,--but Is there a user out there who actually uses this program seriously and has the same problems? It's looking to me like Adobe just hasn't looked after the details in designing the Illustrator program. Here's an example: Try to use the knife tool to cut off a section of an image comprised of several objects. Does the tool apply itself in a straight line when used with the option key as per Adobe's instructions? Or does it move in a nervous, wiggling line, option key or not, resulting in a crooked cut? What's going on here?

granitecarver,
You can get rid of them all with 4) or ultimately 6) in the list in post #3 in your other thread.
Did you try any of them?

Aperture. I have so many pictures and not sure where to put them now that my MacBook Pro is filled?

I have so many pictures on my Mac book pro on aperture that I can not put anymore on. If I put them on a hard drive h
Then how do I access them like a library?

Aperture allows you to store your Images' Originals on any directly connected drive (must be formatted "Mac OS Extended, Journaled"), and gives you the option and the ability to move your Originals any time you want.
So get an external drive, format it correctly, select the Images whose Originals you want to move to that external drive, and move them using the command "File➞Relocate Originals".
An Image's Original must be on-line in order for you to be able to make adjustments, export, or print that Image. When the Original is off-line, you are still able to change the metadata, and view and share the Image's Preview.
If you are uncertain about the parts of Aperture, my User Tip is as good a place to start as I know .
Here is the topic as covered in the well-done Users Manual. Note that the User Manual uses the terms "Master" and "Original" synonymously, and that it confuses users by refering to referenced and managed _Images_. Image's are not, themselves, referenced or managed. The Original of each Image is a file (the one you imported); that file is the item that is either referenced or managed.
What Are Managed Images and Referenced Images?
