Three tricky problems

This far I'm very happy with Archlinux. There's just these three things bugging me, I just can't seem to get it right on my own .
1. First and most important is to get sound working, I installed oss with some help from the wiki without problems. But when it comes to configuring it, well that's another story . I have 5:1 speakers and using the soundcard from my graphics card (geforce 8600). I've played around in ossxmix and eventually got sound from all speakers. BUT with alot of static and only with my headphones plugged in (if I unplug them I get a really high pitch noise which was nearly enough to blow my eardrums, I was holding a speaker next to my ear, mind you ). I also can't get it to autostart, haven't really tried yet though.
2. Mimetypes aren't recognized, I've the right packages installed (I think), I'm really clueless on this one. [SOLVED]
3. This is probably the easiest one: After starting the computer I don't get any internet-connection, however running "dhcpcd eth0" helps. How do I get it running normally? [SOLVED]
Thanks in advance

For the third, you need to set up the relevant section in /etc/rc.conf. This should work:
eth0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(eth0)
Of course, use that to replace whatever is there now.
To get OSS to autostart, put oss-linux-free in the daemons line of rc.conf.
I knew it would be something that simple
For the mime types problem, I found this in the wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Cha … n_via_MIME
Hope that helps.
Not sure which part of that did it (I'd guess it was the last command) but it works now , thanks!
Just the sound left now, I've reset the settings (i.e. no sound at all) and I'm starting from scratch.

Nokia 500 - three main problems (deactivate Ovi, T...

Hello Community, there are three main problems with my new nokia 500 mobile (beside my really not good english for what I apologize at first!):
1. How can I deactivate this annoying prompt to ovi store at the startup? I do not do not do not want to go online!! This did already cost me some money because the „later“ button is too small too, so I pressed the wrong button or the link below the "later"-button. And so my mobile connected to internet faster than I could press the abort-key. What a nuisance!
2. I have no idea about the sorting criteria for the to-dos! To give an example:
9.3(.2012) A…
27.11(.2011) N…
28.11(.2011) K…
6.3(.2012) L..
As you can see – the to-dos are NOT sorted by name and NOT sorted by date. So, by what are they sorted? I can’t find it out! And is there possibility to sort them by name or by date?
3. As to the calendar: When I miss the alarm of a meeting/a to-do etc., there comes a list of all the missed alarms, but there the option „silence“ is no longer available. So I have to change date or time of a to-do/meeting etc. to get a new alarm. This ist annoying too!
Well, these are the main problems with my new mobile phone, I hope you find some answers for me! Thank you!

Even on my E5 have the problem of signal loss by touching with the hand on the back. Brought into service twice. I ask Nokia, like the E71, a software update to correct the problem.

Multi table insert and ....tricky problem

I have three account related table
--staging table where all raw records exist
acc_event_stage
(acc_id NUMBER(22) NOT NULL,
event_code varchar2(50) NOT NULL,
event_date date not null);
--production table where valid record are moved from staging table
acc_event
(acc_id NUMBER(22) NOT NULL,
event_code varchar2(50) NOT NULL,
event_date date not null);
--error records from staging are moved in here
err_file
(acc_id NUMBER(22) NOT NULL,
error_code varchar2(50) NOT NULL);
--summary records from production account table
acc_event_summary
(acc_id NUMBER(22) NOT NULL,
event_date date NOT NULL,
instance_flag char(1) not null);
records in the staging table may look like this(I have put it in simple english for ease)
open account A on June 12 8 am
close account A on June 12 9 am
open account A on June 12 11 am
Rules
Account cannot be closed if an open account doesnt exist
account cannot be updated if an open account doesnt exist
account cannot be opened if an open account already exist.
Since I am using
Insert all
when open account record and account already exist
into ...error table
when close account record and open account doesnt exist
into ...error table
else
into account_event table.
select * from acc_event_stage order by ..
wondering if the staging table has records like this
open account A on June 12 8 am
close account A on June 12 9 am
open account A on June 12 11 am
then how can I validate some of the records given the rule above.I can do the validation from existing records (before the staging table data arrived) without any problem.But the tricky part is the new records in the staging table.
This can be easily achieved if I do cursor loop method,but doing a multi table insert looks like a problem
any opinion.?
thx
m

In short,in simple example,
through multi table insert if I insert record in production account event table from
staging account event table,making sure that the record doesnt exist in the production table.This will bomb if 2 open account exist in the current staging table.
It will also bomb if an open account and then close account exist.
etc.

Tricky problem. Opening RAW with Javascript. White balance problem.

Hi all. Hopefully someone can help with this - its a tricky one.
I've been using a javascript to send RAW and DNG files to Photoshop CS5 for automatic processing. The script opens the files directly into PS, apparently bypassing Adobe Camera Raw. It always renders the photos with the ACR default settings which can be set in either ACR on Lightroom. The standard Adobe settings are WB (As Shot), Brightness (+50), Contrast (+25).
My problem is that it ignores any changes I have made to the RAW files in ACR. So if I want to use a custom white balance, its not possible to use the javascript. The script ignores the 'custom' white balance and resets it to 'As Shot'.
I've tried changing the default values in ACR but the options are As Shot, or a set Kelvin preset such as Tungsten, Sunlight etc. Nothing helps.
Is it possible for the script to be mindful of the custom adjustments - especially subtle changes to WB - that I have made in ACR?
The script is below...
var stacks = app.document.stacks;
var stackCount = stacks.length;
for(var s = 0;s<stackCount;s++){
      var stackFiles = getStackFiles( stacks[s] );
      if(stackFiles.length> 1){
           var bt = new BridgeTalk;
           bt.target = "photoshop";
           var myScript = ("var ftn = " + psRemote.toSource() + "; ftn("+stackFiles.toSource()+");");
           bt.body = myScript;
           bt.onResult = function( inBT ) {myReturnValue(inBT.body); }
           bt.send(500);
function getStackFiles( stack ){
      var files = new Array();
      for( var f = 0; f<stack.thumbnails.length;f++){
           files.push(stack.thumbnails[f].spec);
      return files;
function myReturnValue(str){
      res = str;
function psRemote(stackFiles){
      var loadLayersFromScript = true;
      var strPresets = localize ("$$$/ApplicationPresetsFolder/Presets=Presets");
      var strScripts = localize ("$$$/PSBI/Automate/ImageProcessor/Photoshop/Scripts=Scripts");
      var strFile2Stack = "Load Files into Stack.jsx";
      var ipFilePath = app.path + "/" + strPresets + "/" + strScripts + "/" + strFile2Stack;
      var ipFile = new File (ipFilePath);
      $.evalFile( ipFile );
      loadLayers.intoStack(stackFiles);
      app.doAction ('My Action');
      var saveFile = new File('~/desktop/'+(new Date().getTime().toString())+'.psd');
      app.activeDocument.saveAs(saveFile);
      app.activeDocument.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

Paul,
this script do perfectly what i need... But unfortunately not in Bridge CS6 :-(
I use Windows7 64 and CS6. When I run the script from the Extended Script Toolkit, everything works great.
Then I saved the script in the Bridge folder "startup scripts". At the start of Bridge I get the following error message:
"Error in C: \ Users \ ... \ AppData \ Roaming \ Adobe \ Bridge CS6 \ Startup
Scripts \ Stack Batch.jsx
Line 1: var = app.document.stacks stacks;
undefined is not an object "
Bridge and then starts the script is not enabled.
Thanks for any help

Some tricky problems

I seem to be having a few problems with my flash game.
Unfortunately the problems are a bit too complex to explain here. I
was wondering if I could get someone to take a look at my flash
files and help me figure out what's going wrong.

Has anyone been able to take a look at my flash files? Maybe
I can try to explain the second problem in more detail (for the
first I think you really need to take a look at the coding I've
used in the flash files and see if I've done something wrong). I
have three flash files, two of them load into the third with the
loadMovieNum action. I've got a variable called _global.health in
the main flash file that links to a dynamic text box in each of the
other two flash files. I've got a MC that has the code I've
included below. Basically when the player MC comes into contact
with the healing MC, and the _global.health variable is below 10,
then the _global.health variable is suppposed to increase back to
10. The problem is that the dynamic text doesn't register the
increase until the movie changes to a different scene or a
different movie. How do I get it to register the change
immediately?.

Line items are missing during transferring ITS to EBP--tricky problem

Hi,
We are using EBP 2.0 version.
Some shopping carts line items are missing while transferring shopping cart data from ITS to EBP.
This is happening randomly.we had checked all the shoppping cart related tables in EBP.
For example in my shooping cart 4 items are there,during transferring shopping cart data from ITS to EBP all 4 items are updating for all the shopping cart related tables except account assignment table.
In account assignment table for this particular shopping cart only 3 items are updated except first one.
This is happening randomly for few of the shopping carts that too most of the cases first item of the shopping cart was not updating reqacct table(this is account assignment table for shooping cart items).
I have debugged entire scenario,but i couldn't find the problem.
any one could you please advise me....why this is happening?whether it is a version problem?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hello Ravi,
I guess you already checked OSS notes for this.
Have you checked in the area of ITS ?
When ITS sends data to EBP, only the actual screen data is sent:
- item procurement data from basic data
- item accounting data from accountig tab
then this data is used to update the SC.
If you have debugged those 2 screens, you should see what is happening.
You say that only 3 reqacct lines are updated: does it means that you have the 4 lines previously created, or only 3 ?
If you change one line item quantity, you should see this updating the reqacct. Same if you go directly in accounting tab.
Finally, there are two options:
- this is an ABAP error, so you should catch it in debug
- this is an infrastrucute error (ITS is not sending the data), so you should get the data sent by ITS in debug mode
Sometimes in productive environment with an heavy loaded ITS, you can loose some data. Available memory is not enough to fill in correctly ITS session containers.

Tricky problem: TM makes only one backup and then can't find disk anymore

I had a problem with TM backups and erased the whole TC, because that solved a problem I had in the past.
My iMac is connected via Ethernet. My notebooks via WLAN. BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON MY IMAC ONLY.
Then:
1) I defined new accounts.
2) Next backups worked like perfect.
3) The next back up not any more: Error message: "TM could not complete backup. The backup disk is not available"
4) After resting the TC or rebooting the iMac I can make a backup, but the next fails again. The disk isn't visible in the TM preferences.
5) Logs of the successful backup are:

Tricky problem in JTable

Hi there,
I am trying to make a JTable display the keyText of all the keys pressed, meaning if I write an "A" I want it to be shown as " shift + a ". Now I'm not quite sure about the way to handle the focus and how to trigger of the action that makes the editing textField receive the focus. Currently, when the table is called for the first time or when I switch between the fields, no modifier or actionKey can be displayed until the first keyTypedEvent. E.g when I press the a-key I get to be shown an "a". After having done This I get "Aa" or, having pressed the shift-key, "shift" and then "AA". The keyListener is added to the textField and as new instance to the table as well. Can anybody tell me, how to modify myKeyListener to directly focus the textField or give me any idea for a different approach of this problem?
Thanks in advance, Bjorn

                ((JTextField) c).setText(KeyEvent.getKeyText(keyCode));
                e.consume();
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
}

Hey scheide,
thanks, it was the tip about consuming the consuming the keyStroke that solved it. I simply had to consume the keyTypedEvent. Now It all works fine. Just in case you might want to have a look at it, here's the code.
public class MyKeyListener implements KeyListener{
    String input = "", temp;
    public MyKeyListener() {
        super();
    public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
        e.consume();
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
        createInput(e);
    public void keyReleased(KeyEvent e) {
    public void createInput(KeyEvent e){
        Component c, editor = null;
        int keyCode = e.getKeyCode();
        //disable focusTraversal except for tab and enter
        if (!(keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER || keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_TAB)){
            try{
                editor.setFocusTraversalKeysEnabled(false);
            }catch(NullPointerException ex){}
        c = (Component) e.getSource();
        if (c instanceof InputTable) {
            InputTable tbl = (InputTable) c;
            editor = tbl.getEditorComponent();
            //focussing the table in field [0/0] at first call of table
            if (editor == null) {
                try{
                    int row = tbl.getSelectedRow();
                    int column = tbl.getSelectedColumn();
                    if( row == -1 )
                        row = 0;
                    if( column == -1)
                        column = 0;
                    tbl.editCellAt(row , column );
                    editor = tbl.getEditorComponent();
                }catch(Exception ex){}
            if( editor instanceof JTextField && !(keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_TAB || keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER )){
                if (input == ""){
                    input = (KeyEvent.getKeyText(keyCode));
                    ((JTextField) editor).setText(input);
                    temp = input;
                }else{
                    input = input.concat(" + ").concat(KeyEvent.getKeyText(keyCode));
                    ((JTextField) editor).setText(input);
                    temp = input;
            //when editing the input call of method editFieldValue
        }else if( c instanceof JTextField){
            ((JTextField) c).setText(editFieldValue(temp, e));
        //clear the inputString in case of tab or enter
        if(keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_TAB || keyCode == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER ){
            input = "";
    public String editFieldValue(String val, KeyEvent event){
        int code;
        String value = val;
        code = event.getKeyCode();
        StringTokenizer tokenizer;
        switch(code){
            case KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE:
                int count = 0;
                tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(value,"+");
                value = "";
                while ( count < tokenizer.countTokens()){
                    value = value.concat("+").concat(tokenizer.nextToken());
                    count++;
                break;
        return value;
}Now I am trying to design a way to edit the input when the JTextfield has the focus. I don't really think I am trying in the right spot, since both the JTable and the TextField get different instances of the KeyListener.
I guess, I'll try and make a different Listener for the Textfield.
One more time thanks a lot for your help, Bjorn

Three questions: Problem syncing, video problem, podcast problem

I had a 4GB Nano and now I've upgraded to a 5th gen. 80GB Classic. I'm having 3 issues.
The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect." I just disconnect the iPod anyway and it is fine. This doesn't really bother me, but maybe it is causing the other two problems.
The second problem is a video is not syncing. I added 3 to my library at the same time. All 3 are shown in iTunes, but only 2 sync. Neither iTunes nor the iPod indicate a problem. I checked everywhere (even in music) in the iPod, but I cannot find the video. I compared all 3 videos and they all have the same properties. They are MPEG-4.
The last issue may or may not be a problem. On my Nano I had podcasts configured to sync only if they are new and it worked great. Only new episodes synced. On the new classic however the last 5 podcasts sync regardless of whether they are new or not. I'm not sure why this is. It's not a problem now - I have plenty of space - but later it may be an issue.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

*The first is after iTunes indicates that the sync is complete, the iPod still says "Do not disconnect.*
Your iPod is probably enabled for disk use. If this option is switched on then the Do Not Disconnect will stay there until you manually eject your iPod.
Connect your iPod and in when it appears in the iTunes 7 source list click on it to see the preferences pane. In the "Summary" tab see if there is a tick in the box “enable disk use". Remove the tick from "enable disk use" and your iPod should automatically disconnect after it’s finished updating.
When an iPod set to manual update, the "enable disk use " box is greyed out and ticked by default: Safely Disconnect iPod

Tricky problem

I am facing some peculiar problem here, see if anyone can help. It goes like
this.
Suppose we have 2 dimensions Product and City and the fact is Response count
from prospect customers. During a market campaign i.e for a promotion (this
dimension i have not included in example.) a prospect may respond for more than
one product. We are not keep prospect as a dimension, as we are only interested
in the counts.
so the dimension table City is :
City_cd City_name
CAL CALCUTTA
VAR VARANASI
dimension Product table is:
prod_cd prod_name
A PRODA
B PRODB
the fact table is:
prod_cd city_cd Response_count
A CAL 100
B CAL 200
A VAR 50
B VAR 10
Now when you select both city and product in the query along with response then
there is no problem. But when you take only city and response
then the response count may not be
CAL 300
VAR 60
because some prospects may have opted for both products, so when you look
without the product the response should be (agg(response) - those who opted for
both). Now how to implement this in discoverer? We can see the SQL generated by
the Discoverer in user edition from View-> SQL Inspector. Can we over-ride that
through our own PL/SQL function? Does anyone know how? Please look into it.
regards,
Mayank

Have the Discoverer Administrator build a custom folder from the Admin edition. They will be able to build a new folder by writing any SQL command they wish. Good Luck!

Two(may be three) serious problems which hazard user experience badly in IOS 5

First, when add "Google Translate" web page (translate.google.com) to home screen, After I use four finger gesture to slice to other app and then slice back, the original web app freeze. The same problem not only exists in Google Translate, but also in all the other web apps.
Second, each time I slice to other app from iBook(.app) in iPad when viewing PDF with letters instead of pictures, still first the clear buffer is displayed and then the BLURRED picture, at last the clear picture. Why cannot just add more time to buffering, to allow the PDF document to get fully rendered, instead of showing us the "CLEAR" "BLURRED" "CLEAR", which really badly hurt my experience after using several hours.
P.S
Wondering why would slice frequently between apps when using iBook? Because I need to use a dictionary to look for words, considering the fact that iBook can't even select any word, leaving behind the inner quick-look-up dictionary function when viewing PDFs. This is actually another shortage to improve, but please improve the preceding two first.
P.S.2
Please excuse my poor English
P.S.3
My device is iPad 2, with the latest IOS 5 so far.

Couldn't agree more. I've been *trying* to use location reminders ever since buying my iPhone 4S but as yet, out of many, many attempts they've only actually worked once.
The kid problem is very simple, the way the phone needs the location to be an address in your address book, and it's subsequent inability to correctly locate the address. My home address is a correct postal address, and has been unchanged for 40+ years, yet clicking on my address from my own contact entry puts my location some distance down my street.
Whilst I understand the issue with the address lookup, it seems to be a massive problem with the location based reminders as it's just not possible to set useful reminders.
What if I want to remind myself of something when I arrive at the car park on a shopping trip? There is no address for that in my contacts, I just want to pinpoint the location on the maps and say 'remind me when I get there'. Surely that's the simplest my far. Same with address book contacts, if you had a field with the gps position in then one could tag the locations and know they were 100% accurate for location services.
Such a shame as it's one of the key reasons I upgraded my phone and as it stands it just plain doesn't work.

Three simple problems I can't solve

I recently upgraded from an older version of Photoshop to CS5. The first problems I noticed are these:
1. Whenever I zoom in CS5 blurs the picture. When I reach zoom factor 200% it stops doing that and shows the normal pixelated picture. This is really distracting.
(cartoon by Scott Kurtz)
2. The text tool now has this automatic underline that is probably supposed to help me, but it only makes it harder to read while typing.
3. This is not a major problem, but still. There used to be boxes here where you could select layers. It can also be done by holding down CTRL and clicking on the layers, but I want my boxes back
I searched high and low but found no solutions. Hoping for your help.

The backup drive is not directly connected, I backup via the network. As mentioned, I have two files/folders at the root of the hard drive: A sparsebundle and a Backups.backupdb folder. These are two different backups - the sparsebundle being the newest. I suspect that Backups.backupdb folder stems back to when I started to backup and I did connect the backup drive directly to the computer. Even though I later began to backup wirelessly, the backups continued to be saved in the folder. And then - as I tried to explain in the original post - I did a formatting of my Maca year ago, renaming and it and thus began a new backup which was being saved as a sparsebundle instead of as a Backups.backupdb folder.
I appreciate your response, however it is not solving any of my two problems - I do need my backups

Three serious problems that didn't exist on 8.0

I can't see the double arrow that is black on a black background. In 8.0 I could change the surrounding background in the Org screen to lighter in the preference/file section. That is now missing and I have to slide my cursor blindly to look for a flash that shows the pull down menu. My monitor is properly calibrated. Please bring back that option.
Had ALL versions of photshop album the elements so I know the program well. Running this on vista...8.0 uninstalled.
8.0 allowed you to make albums with visible images in the album but invisible in the main thumbnail window. This sped up the thumbnail loading time. 9.0 seems to make the images invisible in both the new album as well as the main window. This doesn't make sense. Please allow for a cleaner main thumbnail view . If all the pics are always there it loads to slowly.
Like others I spent hours tring to get media that was flawless o 8.0.

Sorry for the lateness of the reply here... I thought this post had been removed.
Even though it was a few months ago, I'd like to share my story... Another example of amazing Apple Customer Service.
In the midst of my problems I sent an email to Steve Jobs. On a Saturday... Two hours later an Apple representative from Texas contacted me "on behalf of Mr. Jobs."
Keep in mind that this was in the midst of "Antennae Gate"...
Instead of returning the phone to the Apple Store, they requested that I hold on to it until a technician could meet with me. They flew a technician from California to my office in Cincinnati to take readings and measure reception.
Nothing unusual was detected... After some more testing it was determined that it was just a defective unit. I went to the Apple store and had a brand new phone in about 10 minutes.
From start to finish, Apple did an unbelievable job responding to my problem. In fact, I mentioned this to Toyota. I asked them how is it possible that Apple treats a customer of a $300 phone far more impressively than Toyota treats a customer of a $30,000 car? That statement must have hit home because Toyota ended up coming around and resolving my issues.
I came away immensely impressed with Apple. A real example of a company going above and beyond what "normal" companies would have done.

Tricky problem-any solutions???

Our project is its final stages, but our client has requested for migrating to DB2 DB. The problem with DB2 is that it has only one connection. Bcause of this when i click on submit repeatedly..the system hangs. What is happening is the first connection is in process and comes in the second connection... and the process hangs.
What i tried doing is made my connection a global static object. And when ever a connection is needed, before returning a new connection,i check for any existing connection and if it is not null, i make it null and close the connection. But when click many times and if the system is slow it is still happenning.
By the way i am using j2ee1.3 and tomcat 4.1.
Is there any method in j2ee to know if the request has completed its process or something like that???.
Any suggestions how to deal with this prob.
Your help is most needed..
Thanks

Sorry i think you got me wrong.
Let me explain it clearly
Currently we are migrating from db2 to db2e.
db2e allows only one database connection.(limitation of db2e)
ie i have to close the current connection object before
getting the new Connection object.
I have many links on my home page where every link
needs the connection object to do some database operations.
As i can have only one database connection, when i click
on the links repeatedly or when i play around with the links,
i get exceptions saying that i cannot have more than one connection
and results in a blank page or error page.
Currently my application has to handle this situation,
ie even if the user clicks continuosly on all the links or plays
around with the links it has take the last request into account
and display accordingly
I have a databaseConnection class which returns me a Connection object
To achieve the above funtionality i tried making the Connection object as static, so whenever i call the function to get the Connection object i check whether the current connection object is open or is not null.
if it is open i close and make it null and return the new connection object.
This seems to be working to some extent but not stable.
Iam not sure how does the server process when many requests are made and only one connection object is available at any point of the time.
Iam not sure how to get it working and stable.
One more solution i can think of is to declare a global variable
which tells us whether a request has been made.depending on this
variable i can restrict the user by clicking on the links reapeatedly.
but this is very tedious and also i have a time constraint.
any advice
I hope you understand my problem.
tks in advance
