The AUR needs a forum section (rather than visa versa)

The AUR needs everyone working together to suceed.  We need the users to put their PKGBUILDs in, do their voting and get some feedback on the interface and processes from the users.
To do this we have the tur-users mailing list, which is great for contacting the TUs directly but maybe we need something more to get it going on this side of the community.
Here are my proposals:
Either:
· Change the "Arch Packaging" section title to "AUR and Arch Packaging"
· Add a new AUR sectionWhatever is choosen we then:
· Move "AUR Package Requests" to the new location
· add an AUR discussion and feedback board and move all the current AUR discussion thread there - headlined with a sticky linking to the tur-list and specifying what should be posted in the forums and what would be better related straight to the list - this reduces likelihood of people mailing the list for little reason.
· add an AUR support forum - again headlined with a sticky to the AUR docs and any guidelines that get added to the wiki.  This will become the source of AUR FAQ for inclusion in the docs
Personally I'd like to see this happen ASAP.

These are not bad ideas, if you all feel that this will help better the current situation. Let's be honest guys, most anything is better than the current situation. I don't know about an AUR support forum, I was thinking about writing the docs myself, and probably will this coming weekend. Support for the AUR is intended to happen in the bugtracker, not the forums. You might add a sticky about that too, btw.
Another thing is that it might (no garauntee) actually get me to read the forums again, being that there is one board to come read, rather than parsing through all the other threads around here.

    The Apple external SuperDrive actually exceeds the allowed power draw. Because of this, it is only trouble-free on certain models that accommodate this excess.
    All others require an external Power source.

    I am in the process of preparing to test a sample from your brand and model camera in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. I will have the results probably tomorrow morning.
    For now I just want to put you through the drill that I do for anyone who says he/she is using Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    1. Are you working from the 8.0/8.0.1 Update of the program?
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4653
    2. Do you have the automatic Background Rendering and AutoAnalyzer features turned OFF.
    For Background Rendering option. See Edit Menu/Preferences/General.
    For AutoAnalyzer option. Click on Organizer in the row below the blue active Organize header in order to open the Elements Organizer. In the Elements Organizer workspace, go to Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoAnalyzer Options and disable all the AutoAnalzyer options. To return to the Premiere Elements workspace from the Elements Organizer workspace, in the Elements Organizer workspace, go to File Menu/Exit.
    Is your computer optimized in spite of the fact that  you have a high end laptop? I presumed so but always go to verify, no pile ups of preview files, conformed video and audio files et al.
    Looking at the properties of your source media, I see:
    video compression = MPEG1
    audio compression = MPEG-Layer1 (.mp2)
    Frame Size = 640 x 480 (4:3)
    Pixel Aspect Ratio = 1.0
    Frame Rate = 30 progressive frames per second
    With properties like those you are sure to get a red line over that content since there is no project preset with that description.
    But, your choice of the default NTSC DV Standard would have been mine also.
    I am heading to try to get a quick look at the behavior of the sample video here in my Premiere Elements 8.0/8.0.1.
    To be continued.

    When I restart Firefox, my pinned tabs open to the last webpage that I viewed rather than the page that I originally pinned. For example, if I pinned to a local newspaper's website, navigate to espn while on the pinned tab and then close Firefox, the next time I open Firefox, the pinned tab goes to espn rather than the local newspaper's site.
    Additionally, the same thing happens if I am reading an article on the pinned tab. When reopening Firefox, the pinned tab goes to the last article viewed.

    Hi don.w,
    That is just the way that pinned tabs are designed. They are meant to be left on the page you want them left on e.g. a web mail account.
    If you want to pin a newspaper then I would pin the front page and then open any article you want to read in a new tab.
    Having said that there is an addon called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tab-utilities/ Tab-utilities] which contains an option to automatically revert a pinned tab to the original URL.
    I hope that helps.

    I use itunes on a Dell XPS502 with W7/64. In some cases have have problems to import CD's. The sound is very disturbed and the import need a lot more time than in normal cases. Is there a problem between itunes and W7/64 or a known hardware issue?
    Example-CD : "Tracy Chapman , Telling stories" is not able to import . I have more such negative cases. But in other cases it works fine and the sound is great.
    The firmware at the inbuild CD/DVD DS-6E2SH is the latest version.
    What can I do??

    hi b noir,
    I don't no about virtuel drives like you mententioned. In the mean time I have rebooted the XPS and run again the iTunes diagnostics. I think the back - chance in the registry was not ready to use.  Now there are another results. They are the same in case of a running CD or a not running CD. The difference in total is like before. It takes more time that iTunes reads the (bad) CD and at the there is no good sound. In both cases ( running or not running CD) iTunes diagnostics gives as a result :

  • I'v just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows. How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

    I've just installed creative cloud 64 bit windows.  How can I make bridge the default program to upload pictures rather than lightroom?

    Usually the default program associated with an image file extension is an image developing Program like Lightroom or an image editing program like Photoshop. If you want to change the default associated program to Adobe Bridge you would use Window's Controls Panel file association applet.

  • Setting the home page to be computer, rather than user specific

    I run a computer lab and would like to set the home page to be computer, rather than user specific. Is this possible ?

    Use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify default values for all users.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0); // use this to disable the byte-shift
    See:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    You can use these functions in mozilla.cfg:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes
    pref("browser.startup.homepage", "<your preferred home page>");

    where do I get the download from iTunes button art, rather than just stealing from someones site

    Interesting. It looks to be available from the iTunes Affiliates resources for everyone:
    Affiliate Logo Guidelines and Art
    ... although it also says you ought to be an affiliate to actually use it.
    It might be worth checking in with Apple Legal to see what the requirements are for using it, first. Here's contacts:

  • TS1702 Triple clicking on touch screen. I need to triple click (rather than 1 click) for all functions on the touch screen. I have rebooted and upgraded software. Any help please!?

    With the Ipod touch it requires 3 x clicking to the touch screen rather than 1 for all interactions. I have updated software, all apps, rebooted and reset but still doing it. Any suggestions very welcome.

    All good - as per "Single click on touch screen doesn't work" problem. The VoiceOver under Settings/general/accessibility was set to "on".

  • Is there a way to change the default image save to .jpg rather than.bmp?

    Currently the default save is a .bmp file.  I do not see a way to change this in the <edit> <preferences> area.  Also is there a way to export/save a designated area on a pdf as a .jpg image file rather than the options given: Word, Exel, Powerpoint, .rtf, html, etc.  I currently have to take a snapshot (often clicking this twice) and then opening it in photoshop, then changing it to black and white (if needed) in order to save it as a .jpg

  • Running the Scripts of Essbase in Server rather than in Client

    Hi,
    We have Scripts which run for different Loads like INK/TONER/FAST etc. The Essbase Version we use is 11.1.2.2.
    The content of the Scripts are as below.
    INK.cmd
    del U:\FAST\Logs\Ink_Assumpt_Extract.log
    call C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startEsscmd.bat U:\FAST\sub\sub\Ink_Assumpt_Extract_FAST.cmd
    cd U:\FAST\data\
    del Ink_Decay_Rates.OUT
    move Ink_Decay_Rates.dat Ink_Decay_Rates.OUT
    del Ink_Pen_Price.OUT
    move Ink_Pen_Price.dat Ink_Pen_Price.OUT
    del INKASM10.OUT
    move Assum10.dat INKASM10.OUT
    To run the above Script the User will install the Essbase Client in his PC and startEsscmd.cmd is executed as they will map the Folder to their PC using U Drive Version. This  folder exists in Server.
    Now the requirement is to change the Script running with User depending on Essbase Client. We need change the Script to run in Server itself when  the users runs the script.
    I want to execute this StartEsscmd.bat with the one available in Server as the below one
    call F:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startEsscmd.bat U:\FAST\sub\sub\Ink_Assumpt_Extract.cmd . Rather than users installing Client.
    Is this how we can make the script to run in Server itself. Or any other process. Please help on this.
    Regards,
    Naveen

    Hello Experts,
    These batch scripts are dependent on Informatica Environment as well. Once all the Essbase batch files runs there will be data files in DAT Folder and using the timestamp of current month these data files will be send to Informatica Env and there one Job runs which will convert all the .OUT files into a .DAT file and load into DB. Its the Process.
    Now we cant change the entire process but need to get rid of Essbase Client dependency.
    All i want to know is if we change the path of the files from
    call C:\Hyperion\products\Essbase\EssbaseClient\bin\startEsscmd.bat
    to
    call F:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\epmsystem1\EssbaseServer\essbaseserver1\bin\startEsscmd.bat
    or
    call %ARBORTPATH%\bin\startEsscmd.bat
    will the files runs in server side. I tried with this but getting an error saying
    System cannot find the path specified. Please help.
    Regards,
    Naveen

  • The issue is related to firefox 3.5 but is also seen in firefox 3.6 the images rendered like a curtain effect if they are not preloaded and the page builds up in part rather than building all at once and showing

    When we traverse from one page to the other and this is not different php pages, its the same html page only dom manipulation. to show different gui one after the other. Now on these screens there are some images that are preloaded like loaded upfront and some are pulled at run time when user visits that screen. All images that are pulled on run time show a curtain effect. This is problem number 1, we cannot preload these images since the systems are having only 250mb ram.
    Now the other problem is that when the user goes from one screen to the other the entire screen builds up in one shot on ff 1.0.8 but on ff 3.5 or 3.6 it builds up in parts
    Do we need to change some configuration in firefox so that the curtain effect is eliminated, Is there a setting in firefox 3.5 that can make the rendering more like ff 1.0.8 or ff 2.
    Is there any different that you suggest we do our dom manipulations or some ways that we should not do if that is the cause of the issue. This is very urgent since we are loosing users due to performance problems

  • TS3899 How do I check to see if the problem resides on the server (e.g., the mail server is not responding) rather than assuming the issue is with my phone and devise setup?

    As of sometime after September 10, 2012, at 4:40PM, I have not been receiving any mail.  Not on my iPhone, iPad, iMac, or MacBookPro.  The trouble shooting help on Apple's web site is designed to help ensure my devise settings are accurate.  However, I moved from .Mac to .me and now to .cloud and have operating with no issues for several months on the iCloud.
    How can I check to see if my mail problem is really Apple's fault rather than double checking all my devise settings ad nausiam?  I feel there is a server issue with Apple because none of my devises can receive mail, however, I do not know how to validate my theory with Apple.  I get an error message telling me:
    Cannot Get Mail
    The connection to the server failed.
    Apple says there is a mail server problem affecting 1% of users.  However, am I one of the 1%?  If I assume I am, wait for the problem to be fixed, and then learn I was not one of the 1% and continue to have mail issues, then I will be more frustrated.

    I have the same problem since yesterday morning. I checked the systems status and still the same. I guess we are the 1.1% who has problem with their email.

  • I get hieroglyphics in the top bar of he screen rather than "Firefox - Mozilla Firefox". Anything to worry about?

    On some occasions, I get a series of hieroglyphics in the top bar on my web browser, rather than "Firefox - Mozilla Firefox". I'm concerned this may be linked to a virus. Should I be concerned?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == I launched Firefox

    If you see CJK (Chinese/Japanese) characters on the Firefox title bar or the Windows Taskbar then that can happen if Firefox switches to UTF-16 encoding for some reason.
    The ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) has been reported to cause that issue.
    Be sure not to get confused with the RealPlayer plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) that plays media files.
    The extension adds some extra features like saving media files.
    You can disable/remove the ''RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin'' extension in the RealPlayer Preferences (RealPlayer: Tools > Preferences > Download & Recording)

  • Today's update seems to have modified the interface for the search engine bar to icons rather than a list. Is there any way I can change it back?

    I know everyone says they "hate" changes to familiar interfaces at first before growing accustomed to them, but I just personally don't care for the icon-tray look in anything I use (it seems to defeat at least some of the point of using Internet on an actual computer rather than on a mobile phone). I also sort of have a lot of search engines up there, not all of which I can immediately recognize by icon. I know it's a minor inconvenience, but having to scroll over an icon to see the name of its associated search engine is pretty annoying after being used to having a nice list that just told you all of their names. Any way that I can change it back to the old list-interface?

    Thank you, much appreciated!
