Things not in default pacman

In the past I never had this problem, but the last year I more and more had it:
To install useful things, I can't simply use pacman as it is by default anymore to install things. I have to use either AUR (too annoying and complex), or configure different servers than the standard archlinux ones in my pacman configuration (but I prefer to install things from the default servers because those are the official ones).
My biggest issue is how I dislike KDE 4, but people tell me about this kdemod, but I can't even install it from the default pacman servers.
Is Archlinux not the right distro anymore for me? In the past I could, without worries, simply install everything I needed from the standard pacman, now not anymore and I don't like it. If this system of Archlinux doesn't work out for me anymore, which distro would you recommend for me?

If you honestly feel that adding a few simple lines to pacman.conf, installing yaourt, or making a package from the AUR is too much of a hassle, then you're probably using the wrong distro. Your basic complaint is that "the default settings don't let me do everything I want" even though they're ridiculously easy to change. Seriously, adding the kdemod servers takes less than 10 seconds... copy and paste, presto. Building from the AUR is as simple as downloading the tarball, untarring it, makepkg, pacman -U pkg. Yaourt makes it even easier.
Part of the power of Arch is that you CAN get stuff that's not in the official repos very easily. Expecting everything you could imagine to be in the official repos is also a bit silly. There's a maintainer behind each package and there just aren't enough to cover everything. Really though, if you're not prepared to make even a little effort to get what you want, you would probably be happier with Ubuntu.
It's a shame though, because your post implies that you've been using Arch Linux for years without even scratching its potential.

Try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.

Excise rate and value is not getting defaulted from the purchase order

Hi all,
While capturing excise invoice , the excise rate and value is not getting defaulted from the purchase order and in Excise Item Tab BED,AED,ECS is Zero at both header as well as item level for only one material in STO process and if we are doing same process taking other material all things are coming perfectly and We are maintaining condition with respect to vendor,plant and material combination.Any input related to this will be helpfull and rewarded.
Regards
Vishal

Hi,
Follow STO Process for this;
1.Create a vendor for the company code of receiving plant, using account group: 0007 using T-Code XK01.
2. Assign this vendor to Delivering plant
Go to XK02 >Purchasing view>Extras>Add. Purchasing data>Plant
3. Create internal customer with the sales area of the vendor. Go To XD01
4. In pricing procedure determination relevant to STO, assign document Pricing Procedure and customer pricing procedure appropriate for STO to get the pricing in the invoice.
5. Maintain condition records for the relevant pricing condition.
6. Some more setting for STO: Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Receiving plant >assign customer here & Supplying SA (for billing) to Receiving plant here
7. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > define shipping data for plants > Go to Supplying plant and assign the sales area of receiving plant.
8. Go to MM > Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > assign delivery Type & Checking rule
Assign the delivery type to document type. In this case, Delivery type NLCC is assigned to Document type NB
9. Go to MM> Purchasing > Purchase Order > Set up STO > Assign document Type, One step Procedure, Under delivery tolerance
Assign the document type NB to supplying plant and receiving plant
10. After all settings, Create the STO using T-Code: ME21N and maintain pricing conditions of freight and Save.
11. In supplying plant Maintain condition record in sales using VK11 the same will flow in receiving plant when referring the OBD no during MIGO.
10. Create Delivery: VL10G
12. Picking, PGI: VL02N
13. Billing: VF01
Save the document and its done
14. J1IIN - Outgoing Excise Invoice
15. MIGO - Goods Receipt against outbound Delivery
16. J1IEX - Capture & Post Excise Invoice

Xorg Fails to Start: Could Not Open Default Font 'Fixed'

After an absence from my Arch system, I tried to fire it up today and found that Xorg7 now fails to load, telling me that it "could not open default font 'fixed'". I have done a "find" on my whole partition - there is no font file called "fixed*" at all on the system. Just for fun, since I have an older SuSE 9.3 on another partition on the same machine, I searched it too - no files called "fixed*" at all.
Does anyone recognize this error, and know what to do about it?
I haven't touched this partition in probably 6 months (long story). I do have a triple boot on this machine, with the SuSE I mentioned above and also Ubuntu Dapper Drake. I have been running the odd update on those two OS's - I suppose they might have crept onto my Arch partition and messed things up...
Anyway, any and all thoughts much appreciated. I am pretty much dead in the water with Arch. I am running Arch 0.7.2, on a 3.0 GHz Pentium IV HT with 1 GB of RAM.

Hi Guys, thanks for the help. I haven't been able to get back to this for a bit but I finally did tonight. sh___, your tip did the trick. I did the grep and sure enough, fixed WAS on the system, it just clearly was not in the font path. I started backtracking and found that it had been commented out of the font path in xorg.conf. As soon as I uncommented it, X11 was back. Phew!
HOWEVER, XFCE4 is totally borked. It appears that one of my Ubuntu updates wandered onto my Arch partition and kindly updated parts of XFCE4, leaving the whole completely unworkable. Happily, I also have KDE installed on Arch, and was at least able to get an X environment back from which to work on the XFCE4 problem. I am now updating XFCE4 completely to the current version - that should restore version harmony and hopefully all will be well. We shall see! Thanks again.

HRA not getting defaulted in IT - 0008

Hi SAP users,
This will be the most basic configuration but don't know how I am facing a problem in defaulting HRA wage type in IT - 0008 (Basic Pay)
I have created a wage type 9001 which was copied from M230,
In T511 the wage type has INVAL B,   Amount = + & Number/unit = -
In T7INA9
WT        Amt               RAP indc
9001     Blank          A Allowance      INR      01.01.1990      31.12.9999

9001      R Tax exemption is Rule      Blank               00.00     SHRA
Also, I have maintained T510 in which 9001 amt is kept as Blank
T539A the below values are maintained;
TM 1 01.01.1990 31.12.9999 O 9000 Basic Salary
TM 2 01.01.1990 31.12.9999 O 9001 HRA

T7INA3 - GM TM 3 TM TM01
T7INA5 - TM01 --> 20/TM
All the configuration is correctly done in the system still it is not defaulting in IT - 0008. Also, I saw a post in whcih it was mentioned that remove HRA from Table T7INT9 then it will be defaulted which i did & it worked. However, as per my understanding it is worng to remove the wt from there as it is used for Tax exemption nd linked with tax code.
Please let me know wht measures should I take to resolve this issue.
Regards,
Prasad lad

Hi Prasad,
The configuration done from your side are correct . As per SAP standard, the HRA will not get defaulted unless IT581 is maintained. So we need to change the procedure to default the HRA WT
1. In Hiring Action, Insert IT581 after the infotype IT0008 so that once you save the infotype 581 , HRA will get defaulted in Infotype 0008
2. In IT581, If you dont know whether the Employee is staying in Rented house or Own house,Then inform your user to select always 'Own Accomodation' and then save it.
3. In ESS, the employee can change the option in IT581 (IT declaration) later.
Only way to get default other than i have mentioned above is removing the Wagetype from Table T7INT9, But the Exemption will not get calculated for the same.
If you have any clarifications, then raise the Oss Message. SAP will definitely say the same thing.
I hope this would resolve this issue.
Thanks

Can not update tab if its not the default sub-tab.

Can not update tab if its not the default sub-tab.
JDeveloper Version 10.1.2.1.0 (Build 1913)
Hi. I have a problem with a lovOpenWindowAction
The UIX is created with a master UIX and have several sub-tab that is included as UIX-pages.
The lovOpenWindowAction lies in the included UIX-page
The sub-tab I have a problem with has a table with users. Then I have a Create New button than I want to click on and select a new user that should be included in the table in the sub-tab.
When I click on the button I open a LOV-window. Here I select the user that I want to add.
In the LOV Action-class I save my new value in the database. Then in the method onLovUpdate I update the iterator with the new values from the database.
But in my GUI the subtab is not updated until I click on it.
But if I make the subtab the default subtab then it all works just fine and the GUI is updated directly.
Here is the code for the tableAction in the subtab. This code lies in an included UIX-page. Target is the table id.
<tableActions>
<button text="Create New" id=" createNewRollperson" accessKey="N">
<primaryClientAction>
<lovOpenWindowAction destination="FiskeRollpersonerLOV.do"
source=" createNewRollperson "
targets="joinedRollpersfiskeer message"/>
</primaryClientAction>
</button>
</tableActions>
Here is some code from the master UIX-page
<subTabLayout id="flikar">
<subTabs>
<subTabBar selectedIndex="${ui:defaulting(param.index,0)}">
<contents>
<link id="resorFlik" text="Resor"

</case>
</switcher>
</contents>
</subTabLayout>
What am I missing?? I cant have this subtab as the default subtab! Please help me with a solution!

hi,
Change the condition type to manual entry.
or
for example delivery costs will be different at the time of PO and actual delivery costs then at the time of invoice we select planned delivery costs and settle them first with the actual delivery cost.
Thanks & Regards,

Feature request: extra Include directive in default pacman.conf

Since arch's move to systemd, cluster administration requires less and less use of sed. In particular, systemctl, timedatectl, /etc/sysctl.d, /etc/modules-load.d, /etc/hostname, /etc/vconsole.conf, etc. make scripting configuration changes both simpler more robust than the old approach of editing multi-purpose files such as /etc/rc.conf.
An exception to this trend is pacman.conf, which has non-trivial default contents that almost certainly needs to be customized (e.g., to enable multilib and local repositories). These changes would be much simpler if the default pacman.conf included a line such as:
Include = /etc/pacman.d/conf/*.conf
Currently my scripts use sed to insert this line at the end of the [options] section. (Unfortunately "Include = /etc/pacman.d/*.conf" doesn't work because there's sometimes a gpg.conf file in /etc/pacman.d, but maybe that could be fixed.)
I don't know if the forum is the right place for feature requests, but I wanted to get people's reactions. If people think it's a good idea I can add it as a feature request to the bug tracker.
There are several other pieces of low-hanging fruit where I'd like to see arch decrease the complexity scripting configuration (e.g., an unattended pacman-key --populate and easier customization of mkinitcpio.conf), but I figured I'd start with the simplest and gauge people's reactions.

It isn't... best to place the feedback in flyspray so it will be sure to get to the peeps that need to see it. Welcome to Arch.

Do you have Gmail? Google has some funny rules which might apply; see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-origin-address-for-multiple-gmail-accounts

File, Send link doesn't open a new email. Using Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and W7 default email program. On the About:config page network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) "default Boolean true".

File, Send link doesn’t open a new email. Running Firefox 11.0. Outlook 2010 is the Mailto default and the W7 default email program. On the About:config page, network.protocol-handler.external.mailto is set to regular font (not bold) “default Boolean true”.

I assume you have tried toggling the setting in Firefox between Outlook and, say, Gmail:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Applications
In the search box, type or paste '''mailto''' and pause for the list to filter.
Change the setting and OK to save it, then return to the dialog, change back, and OK again.
You also might want to toggle the setting at the OS level between Microsoft Outlook and the native Windows Mail client in a similar fashion. In Windows XP you could use IE's Options dialog, Programs tab, for this, but I'm not sure in Windows 7.
Since one possibility is a problem in your Firefox settings (including the possibility of interfering add-ons), and another is a problem at the Windows level (e.g., Registry settings), it would be useful to try to identify which one it is. One quick way to distinguish is to create a new Firefox profile. It will start up with all factory settings. You can switch back to your existing profile after testing.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
After closing Firefox, start up again in the Profile Manager as described in this article: [http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles Managing profiles].
With the new profile, can Firefox successfully create a message in Outlook?

How to save library symbols' class files in packages that are not the default package?

Hi,
I perform the following in Flash CS5 with Flash Builder 4
1) Create a new library symbol.
2) Do a RightClick->Properties on the new symbol
3) Check the options for "Export for ActionScript" and "Export in frame 1".
4) I write a new name for my class "Class1" and click on the pencil icon "edit class definition" to edit the class.
At this point my FlashBuilder 4 takes over and opens the "New ActionScript" dialog.
4) I then click on Package-Browse to select a package e.g. com.mycompany.myfiles as the new class destination.
The as file is created as com.mycompany.myfiles/Class1.as as everything seems just fine.
5) I close the ActionScript file and back in Flash CS5 I RightClick on the symbol and select "Edit Class".
At this time, FB4 suggests again to create the file, ignoring the fact that I already created it before.
Do you know of a way I can make Flash CS5 remember where I created the file?
Thanks.

Hi,
I didn't remove the project or delete any of the files.
All I did was create the class file under a package that is not the default package. Then when I clicked on the Flash symbol's "Edit Class" It asked me again to create the same class file.
Only if I create the class in the default package, it won't ask me to recreate it again.
Bye,

Adobe Reader X standalone client does not recognize default browser.

Adobe Reader works fine if I'm on a webpage and open a PDF. It opens in the browser as it should.
I have PDF files on my hard drive. I can start up Adobe Reader from the desktop and read them, but if I click a link inside the PDF, it opens in Internet Explorer which is not my default browser. I use Firefox as my browser.
Reader 9.4 works great but this new one doesn't cut it and Adobe doesn't provide any support for it that I can find.
I am using Firefox 3.6.18 on Windows Vista. I have reset my default browser several different ways now. I've made IE the default and then Firefox again. I've gone into Firefox options and told it to Check to be sure it is default. I've gone into default programs and re-chosen Firefox. Nothing has worked.
I have 2 questions:
1) Does anybody know how to actually contact Adobe about Reader?
2) Does anybody know a setting for Reader anywhere that I can tweak to fix this? I'm not afraid of the registry but I'm not going to experiment in it either.

I was able to resolve this by disabling Protected Mode at startup.
Go to Edit > Preferences > select General tab > uncheck "Enable Protected Mode at startup" > restart Reader.
I do not consider this a fix since I have now disabled some of the security given to us with the upgrade. This is merely a work-around.
I submitted a bug report to Adobe. Who knows if they'll respond to it.
