Switched to SLIM, needing a tip.

Heya.
As some others, since the last GNOME update I decided to switch my login manager.
Now I'm using SLIM, and love it, but I have a simple question:
Before, I used to launch my xrandr command for dual monitors together with GDM to avoid ugly trancitions in the wallpaper if used once logged.
I just had to put the command in some GDM file, don't remember which one.
So, how can I do it with SLIM? where should I put the command for it to be launched as SLIM starts?
Thanks in advance. =)

My guess would be in .xinitrc

if its a major problem you should backup your phone via itunes or icloud. Dont forget to transfer purchases.
Once you do this , then you should restore your phone to factory settings and then restore with back up and see if it helps. If it doesnt then set it up as a new phone and download your apps again.

Keyboard UI improvement request: A better Language Switch is really needed!

Hello Support,
In bilingual environment like I have in Russia, current Lang Switch is definitely the weakest part of on-screen keyboard, which is disastrous to otherwise excellent typing experience.
Please consider changing that so that one-step (NOT two-step) switching is possible, e.g.
(а)adding a dedicated key/indicator (as in WP8 / iPad / some Symbians, etc...)
(b)something like 'swipe space horizontally to switch the language' (as in Android)
I believe the issue is relevant not for Russia only.
Late 10.0.1 versions (like .4633 leaks or so) made situation even worse:
initially, the order of a languages in pop-up list was constant, which allowed to switch to a needed language rather fast
currently, the list order is constantly changing based on current language, which is VERY inconsistent.
Env: Z10 STL100-2, various 10.0 and 10.1 firmware, Russian locale, Beeline.
And, with keyboard devices like future Q10 etc, the best option is adding a dedicated switch button. Please consider that for future devices!
Hoping for better typing experience,
Cheers,
Alex

Slim needs gcc-libs not gcc has dep

I just found out that slim needs gcc for a 57kb file. This file is in gcc which is 23mb. I just want know why this one file is not gcc-libs instead gcc. This is so people how don't need gcc will need to install it in order to get slim to work.
Just my 2 cents to help make arch more customable in size of MB.
PS With gcc install, base-devel group only takes 2.6MB more of space. I just had to give you the idea.

Please I need some tips of video editing.

Hi! My name is Bruno Rauch, i'm brazilian and I need some tips for video editing..
Here below I'm going to put a link of two videos that I had made days ago...And I'm very grateful if you guys could see and tell me some tips to encrease my video quality.
Bubble Gun Treffen 2014 - Águas de Lindóia - SP - YouTube
Trip to San Pedro of Atacama - YouTube
Thanks for your help.

What I can suggest is that you look into using image stabilization. I know that the vehicle bounces around, but if you have the front of the car in the shot, or a mountain range in the distance, the software should be able to stabilize your footage some.
Having said that, I should also point out that there are ways to move more smoothly with your camera. There are devices available to steady the camera, called Steadycam. Here is a link.
B&H Photo Video
If you can't afford a Steadycam, just using a tripod can help. keep it folded up, put the camera on it, pick it up under the head, and it acts as a balancing weight to smooth out the movement.
Using such things will also help you keep the horizon straight (except when the car is turning).
One more thing. Carry a bottle of window cleaner and lots of clean rags.

Switching to Lightroom - Need Some Quick Tips

Hi, I have been using Aperture for years and it looks like I will be using ACR or Lightroom because I'm having some issues that cannot seem to be resolved by Apple.
I intend to get into in the manual and start the process asap, but I need two quick bits of information so I can keep my workflow going for now.
1) I need to be able to sample a color and make adjustments to that color alone. Similar to Hue/ Saturation in Photoshop where a narrow band can be isolated and saturation, luminance and hue can be adjusted etc. In Aperture it is the Color brick and I don't know where to find it in ACR or
2) After using the brush tool, is there a way to blend or diffuse it?
Thanks

#1: the HSL panel allows per color hue, saturation and lightness adjustments
#2: no, not directly, but after applying an adjustment brush, you can erase the mask by holding down the option key (Mac) to subtract from the mask. Done carefully, this allows you to fine tune the adjusted areas...

KM Switch (Video not needed) or software solution

*Short version* - I need a USB switch that will allow me to share just my keyboard and mouse with my 3 PCs. Anyone know of one that works good and has that "sniffing" feature as to reduce any USB delay. I tried a 4 port Belkin USB switch, but it wasn't good. I want a KM only hardware or software solution that is convenient and supports my mouse's back button and does not have scrolling issues.
Thanks for any input...
*More details* - I have a monitor on my mac and a monitor on my xp machine. I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a 4 port, DVI, USB KVM switch. I already have a 4 port PS/2 KVM switch and I am using it for my windows PCs. I am only using the video from it to switch between the windows PCs. I just want to be able to use my Mac keyboard and mouse (logitech) on all my PCs. I first tried using RDP, but I was not able to use the back button and had some scrolling issues that were unacceptable. Next I decided I would buy a Belkin 4 port USB switch. I just returned it because besides being a bad solution, the mouse locked up continuously. I then tried using KMremoteControl, but I am having trouble getting the license to activate (I emailed the company). From what I understand it is a free program, but they still sell it? Not sure what thats all about, but that also does not allow the back function on my mouse. Basically the best thing is for me to unplug the keyboard and plug it into each computer as I use it. Does anyone know of a good switch, so I don't have to do that? One that is compatible with windows of coarse and has a simple method of switching. The Mac usb extension cable was also incompatible with the Belking switch. Not sure why apple makes such a short cable in the first place.
For anyone who has read this, thank you, I appreciate it.

I have figured out why KMremote was not activating. I installed wireshark to sniff the network and I noticed some DNS issues during the activation process. For some reason it didnt like using my Linksys router as a DNS forwarder. I added the direct comcast DNS entries and it now works. I still dont have the back button on my mouse, but this is the best solution.
Thanks and hopefully this can help someone else.

Using Switch With Double(Need Help)

Hello,
I want to write a program which says grades from numbers.For example;
When i write 87,it has to say that 87=BB
Grade system;
AA =94 - 100
BA =89 - 93
BB =84 - 88
CB =79 - 83
CC =74 - 78
FF =0-73
and i wrote this;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
          public class GradeCalculate {
             public static void main(String[] args) {
          double value = Double.parseDouble(JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("Enter value\n"));
                    switch (value/10.0) {
                    case 10.0: System.out.println("AA"); break;
                 case 9.9: System.out.println("AA"); break;
                 case 9.8: System.out.println("AA"); break;
                 //it is going like that 9.7, 9.6, 9.5... etc
}But i cant compile it.Where am i making mistake?How can i use double command with this program?I have to do this with using double and switch commands.
Thanks for helping.

^but i couldn't solve my problem,i have to use double command and it says "required:int"This is telling you that what goes inside the parentheses in switch(...) must be an int. So you need to either supply an int value, or cast the value that you do supply.

Need a tip for an image viewer

Hi guys i'm trying to make an Image Viewer app and i couldn't find a way to tell my main AS3 class which is the Image that opened the application.
I already specified images in windows to "Open with" my Image Viewer, and indeed my application executes but, is there a way to register the path of the file that opened my application?
So far i've only seen drag&drop implementations, and i imagine that your answer will be a negative but i'm trying to find a solution to this because it's the only problem that keeps me from replacing the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, so any tip, any idea, will be appreciated.

Thanks mate!
It is now possible to do it with AIR 1.5.1
In case someone needs it, here's the code that does the magic (AS3.0)
import flash.display.NativeWindow;
import flash.desktop.NativeApplication;
import flash.events.InvokeEvent;
var fileLoader:Loader = new Loader();
addChild(fileLoader);
NativeApplication.nativeApplication.addEventListener(InvokeEvent.INVOKE, handleInitializationArgs);
function handleInitializationArgs(event:InvokeEvent):void
    // get the application arguments from
    // the InvokeEvent object
   var args:Array = event.arguments as Array;
    // if arguments were provided to the application
    if (args.length)
        // of the arguments provided, assume the first
        // is of the associated file type
        var fileToOpen:String = String(args[0]);
        // load that argument as a url into the loader
        fileLoader.load(new URLRequest(fileToOpen));

MacBook Pro Running slow, need some tips please.

Hi all, been a while since I've been in the forums. I have a year and a half old MBP, 2.16ghz w/ 2GB ram. As the months roll by, it seems as if its performance has gone downhill. I think it might be a few factors: 1, about a year ago I ran VMware fusion (beta) to run XP, when i removed it, I dont think I got rid of everything, always seemed slower since then. 2, about 6 months ago I installed a 1GB of ram myself, my mac recognizes it, but I swear it goes slower than before. Now I may just be paranoid, but better safe than sorry. Are there any good, (cheap or free), utilities or programs to clean up and speed up my mac? Or, anything I can do myself? I dont want to take it in to someone. Thanks guys and gals.

Use Spotlight to search for straggler files.
AppZapper, CleanApp & Hazel are programs that do all the work for you. Hazel & CleanApp gets rid of all straggler files. I only keep AppZapper around because I like the zapping noise it makes.
AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!

Max out your RAM.
Empty the trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
I'm old fashion. I still keep my photos in a photo album. So when people come over my house, they can actually "touch" & "feel" my photos without me running to my computer to "show my photos".
Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CDs and/or DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or a .Mac account to store their "stuff, junk, music & photos".
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days. I store all 5000+ of my music (mp3s) files & 500+ music videos in my ISP storage bin.
There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine, Google &/or MacGoogle to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidently threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Xserve raid brocade switch, do I need xsan for multiple xserve raid with one gbic hba?

So I have 3 xserve raids. I would like to mount all 6 volumes on a single server with a 2 port hba. I have a brocade silkworm 3200, however the raid volumes will not mount. The only thing I can think of is do i need xsan to accomplish this? Initially I gathered it would be like additional resources on a normally data switch bu that does not seem to be the case.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

No, you don't need XSAN for this. XSAN is for connecting one or more RAID units to more than one host. Since you only have one host, XSAN isn't an issue.
You may need to look more closely at the switch configuration. Mac OS X doesn't support multipath (at least last time I checked), so you'll need to make sure that you're either using just one link from the server, or that you've setup zoning in the switch so that each link from the server sees a subset of the RAID volumes (e.g. three RAID volumes mapped to each link to the server).
You may also need to check the RAID configurations to make sure you're not using LUN masking (a feature of earlier firmware versions).
One test here would be to connect the server directly to each RAID controller in turn and see if you see the appropriate volumes. The chances are you do, which points back to the switch configuration being the issue.

At switch on it needs a WPA2 and a WPA password every time

Every time I switch on it is not connected to my WiFi and says it needs a WPA2 password which i enter then when I switch on again later it says I need a WPA password which I enter. It's request alternates every time. Very boring!!

    Power off the router. Unplug it from the wall. Wait a while.
    Plug it back to the wall. Power the router on. Wait until all the lights are lit properly. It will take a while.
    Restart the computer.

OS 10.4.7. hangs up at user switching; finder unresponsive - need diagnosis

Need help troubleshooting following sequence of repeating events on my new MacBook:
1) Attempt to bring up "fast user switching" and log in a second user results in the OS hanging up; 2nd user can't log in.
2) Then try to log out first user. Can't complete logout process: finder becomes unresponsive.
3) So "Force quit" finder. This goes OK, but the screen then goes to a blank blue desktop with an endless, endless spinning wheel. No log-in screen will appear and the only way out is to force-reboot the MacBook by holding down power button for 8 seconds.
At times, as well, apps will refuse to launch. just bounce in the dock. sometimes apps won't even bounce.
I feel these two sets of symptoms are related parts of ther same problem - the OS hanging up when I try to fast user switch or launch apps.
MacBook White Mac OS X (10.4.7) 512 Mb RAM

First, try doubling the installed RAM amount. Then
do routine maintenance (daily, weekly, monthly),
clear caches, repair permissions.
Thanks will try. what is path (boot drive/library/ ?????) to the caches most likely to be implicated ???

Your opinion's on managed switches? I need one

I'm looking at getting possibly a couple managed switches for our office. We have the need for multiple VLAN's and quite a few features now available in them as we grow! I've dealt with Netgear for a long time and find them to be pretty reliable especially with their ProSafe producs having a lifetime warranty.
Which is the best buy for a reasonable price?
http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/AdvancedSmartSwitches/GS748TR.aspx
this is what I was looking at, any other suggestions or opinions? thanks

I have bought 3Com, HP and LinkSys switches. Both managed and unmanaged. A couple of unmanaged HP switches have breaked down over the years, but haven't caused major trouble. The next switch I will buy will be a Cisco model. It has a configuration file in plain text, which is easy to compare to previous editions. It has all the features I can ask for. Maybe it does not have a fancy web based interface, but the command line is full featured. Linksys switches for example have only a limited set of instructions available over command line. Cisco has a separate console port, which again gives the admin full access to the setup. This is important when you have screwed up the configuration and cannot access the switch over the network.
