TTY colors problem (only 8 @ vim + weird behaviour after x started)

Hi,
I've got a problem with my tty colors. Everything seems to work pretty ok, but I have two weird problems - one is that vim doesn't display colors properly. It seems like it supports only colors 0-7, no more. My vim scheme & zshrc (dunno if helpful) attached below:
scheme: mustangzill4.vim
zshrc: .zshrc
What's more, when I start X, tty colors seem to become totally messed up. I don't know where are those new color settings taken from, but they're changed somehow and stay like that till next reboot.
Any help/tip appreciated. Thanks in advance.
edit: I know that "2xx" colors won't work in linux terminal since it supports only 16colors, but even 16 colors don't work for me under vim.

I just set up vim and my terminal (urxvt-256 via .Xdefaults) and I'm experiencing this. When I start X, TTY2 picks up a grey background. Just curious about how this configuration should affect a console...
EDIT:
Apparently this is less reproducible for me than I thought. After a system upgrade and subsequent reboot, this didn't happen again. Maybe the console liked vim's colors and decided to hold on for a while.

[SOLVED] Weird behaviour after formatting USB installation media

Hi, I have noticed this weird behaviour with USB drives I used to install Arch linux with. I format them using fdisk and mkntfs but after replugging them in, the udevil daemon mounts them again as ARCH_2013...[something] and even the directory tree exists! This happens also when I use mkntfs without the -f flag (initializing with zeros). I also checked the other files in /dev/sd* in order to make sure that my drive does not appear twice, but there is only sda (my HD) and sdd (or sometimes sdb, sdc,...) which must be the USB drive, also according to dmesg.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I wrote something about not seeing any files when manually mounting but that was my bad, I only tried mounting /dev/sdb1 but mounting /dev/sdb brought me the same files as devmon showed.

I am assuming you used dd to write the image to the disk. You can use it to remove the contents of the disk as well.
You should make use of the arch wiki, it is quite helpful.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/US … tion_Media
You can use this to zero out the entire device:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdx bs=8M // x is the letter assigned to the usb drive. Be careful, The dd command is destructive.
It may take a while to zero out the entire disk, depending on the size. After that use fdisk/cfdisk or gdisk/cgdisk to create the partition table and partition.
To create the filesystem type, this one, ext4:
# mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdx // or create a vfat
then create the label:
# e2label /dev/sdx1 USB_STICK_LABEL
Use my suggestion as a last resort. Read the wiki, most of what I have said is in there anyway.

MPB + 24" LED, weird behaviour after disconnect

When using my MPB in combination with my 24"LED (single screen setup), everything works perfectly. When I disconnect, the resolution drops to the maximum resolution of my MPB. This drop in resolution results in weird behaviour of application windows, expose (corner activation) and spaces.
Expose does not work anymore, seems like it still thinks there is a larger resolution, so putting my mouse pointer in the corner will not activate expose or any other corner function.
Spaces does not slide anymore, again it seems like it expects a larger desktop to slide which is not there anymore. The display flashes and skips to the next desktop.
Windows can not be resized because the sizing corner (lower right) is outside of the current screen area. So to be able to resize my applications, I have to resize them to small before I disconnect the 24"LED screen.
Solutions tried:
1) System preferences > Displays > Detect displays... Does not work
2) System preferences > Displays > Lower resolution > Normal (max) resolution : Works like a charm
3) Logout > Login : Also works
Does anyone else know how to make this work the way it should? So far it seems the programming (Leopard) is faulty.

I agree that, at times, the SGE switches can be somewhat difficult when getting them in and out of stack mode. I would recommend getting them back to the config that they had before you tried to remove them from a stack, then configure them via the serial cable back to factory defaults. The pinout for the cable can be found here.
There is also a little, round, red hole at the bottom left of the switches face plate that allows you to factory reset the device. You should use a paper clip and hold it for a full 30 seconds.
These switches are designed to either be stacked or not, meaning they are not supposed to be put in and taken out of stacked mode at random. By default, the switches try to stack together, and do not work well when the stack gets broken up or changed. I sincerely suggest you pick either stacked or standalone and leave them as such.
As a side note, there is a newer firmware available for this switch. It is version 3.0.0.18. It can be found here.
Please report any new problems.

Mac weird behaviour after wrong switch off.

A few days ago I inadvertently switched off my Mac OS 10.6.8 by using the back on/off button instead of file/ shut down. Since then, random changes keeps happening: as soon as I switched it back on the desktop image had reverted to the original, then a few application seems to have disappeared, and today PhotoBooth no longer has the Video function but only Camera.
As anyone any idea what is going on?
Cristina

FWIW, you cannot repair the disk you are booted from, so in order to run the repair disk function you will need to be booted from another source (either an external bootable clone or the recovery partition).
Afterthought: if you are on 10.6.8, there is no recovery partition, so you'd need to boot from an external source.
You can easily repair permissions while booted from the startup disk/hard drive.

Really weird color problems

This is really strange. I have a feeling that this is just some setting that I accidentally tripped, but I can't figure it out.
When I look at a picture file in the finder it looks fine. The colors look normal, etc. When I open that picture in any viewer (Photoshop, Preview, etc.) it looks extremely washed out. Here's the weirdest thing: when I open them in Adobe Bridge it initially looks fine, and then almost immediately converts to the washed out look.
What can this be? I don't think its a PS/Bridge problem because its also happening in Preview.
This is really making me nuts. Opening the same files on other computers I have do not have the problem, only on the one in question.
BTW - its a MacPro running Leopard.

When I open a picture in Preview it looks bad, but when I open the same picture in Firefox it looks fine. Obviously Preview and Photoshop must be using some profile that Firefox doesn't use - what can this be???

Error and weird behaviour in executable launch

Hello folks,
This post is regarding a weird behaviour i am experiencing with an executable i built.
LABVIEW version(Includes Runtime engine) LV2012 SP1 f3
DAQmx: 9.6.1
The behaviour is listed below in detail.
In a nutshell, the exectuable runs on the development computer but does not run on the Target computer. Also, Irresepctive of which PC i run the executable on, i cannot access the block diagram even after enabling debugging everywhere.
On the target PC, the app fires up but does not run further, no error codes appear on the screen, it's like the app freezes after firing up. And to add to the misery, i cannot access the block diagram to debug and know what's going on.
Also, I have tried including the dynamic vis to my build script. No bueno.
What I see on running the app is addressed below:
TARGET COMPUTER:
DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE have been installed manually.
App does not run: No broken run button, the app launches but does nothing when the vi is run. No error messages.
The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
DEVELOPMENT COMPUTER:
The app launches and runs perfectly.
The block diagram is still inaccessible, even after selecting the “Enable debugging” option in the build specifications.
DAQmx 9.7 and LV2012 SP1 f4 RTE were not installed as the app recognized the already installed Labview environment.
Additional steps that I have tried,
Created and ran only an executable on the target PC, the attempt was unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section.
Created and ran an installer with additional install options(LV2012 f4 RTE and DAQmx 9.7)on the target PC, the attempt was again unsuccessful. The vi showed similar characteristics as mentioned above in the target PC section. No error messages.
Tried both the steps mentioned above on the development computer and the attempts were successful. .
To the best of my knowledge, I believe, the issue here is with the environment I am creating for the executable and the installer to run with/off of. After having carefully followed the installation procedure for the Run-Time Engine and the DAQmx drivers, I still do not know what I am missing.
Please advise.
Thanks guys,
RP.

Hey guys,
So, got the application to work. Almost.
The problem was that the executable was missing the hardware config from the Device.
Now, the new issue is as following:
The goal of the vi is to generate a report of the test conducted. So, the way the vi works is that, the second the vi is run, an empty word file is created with only the company logo,
Field headings, which are populated after the test is conducted.
The logo is a .jpg file, which has a relative path into the executable.
The field heading are String constants wired into a 'concatenate strings.vi' which are in turn wired to into the report generation vis.
What's happening is that when i run the app on the target pc, Only the logo appears on the word template. Even when i conduct the whole test and stop the vi, the results aren't populated in the word file. Which is a little weird.
Does any one know whats doing that?
Please refer to the attached word files.
Right - It is the file format desired.
Wrong - It is the file format achieved.
Please advise.
Thanks,
RP.

Weird behaviour in the Fontbook display pane

I have just been checking through some font conflicts using FontBook. All have resolved successfully, but I have noticed weird behaviour involving four or five fonts. Some of them show up as all-Cyrillic faces (Arno Pro), or all-Hebrew faces (Stone Sans) or all-Arabic faces (Balzano) in the display pane, yet print perfectly as Western characters when used in any program (Pages, Word, Bean, FCE, Keynote etc).
It's not actually causing any problem, I suppose, apart from a weird representation in Fontbook. I have tried deactivating and reactivating these fonts. I have tried quitting and restarting Fontbook. I have even tried restarting the computer. The Cyrillics, Hebrews and Arabics keep coming back.
Is this a known Fontbook bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you, Kappy and Tom:
I tried the Preview Repertoire command and it showed that the fonts did, indeed, have the full Latin complement of characters. It's just that only the Cyrillic/Hebrew/Arabic/Gujarati/Mandarin selections are showing up in some fonts' preview panes: particularly those fonts with the suffix "Pro" in the title (Myriad Pro, and so on).
How strange.

Weird behaviour in RMIClient

hi all,
i am experiencing a weird behaviour with my RMI Client....
my RMIClient has two methods
init()
callRemoteMethod()
ideally in the init() i should locate the RMIServer, and in the callRemoteMethod() i should call one of hte methods of the RMIServer
the problem is that it does not work!!
my RMIClient code works ONLY if i put the initialization of the RMIServer and the call of one of its method in the SAME method
is it normal that it happens like htis????
can anyone give me some hints??
thanx in advance and regards
marco

hi all,
i solved the problem...i was initializing hte RMI server twice.....
sorry for bothering
regards

Weird behaviour with inlined SubVI's

Every now and then I've ran into some serious weird behaviour where I've eventually traced it down to some inlined subVI. It has seemed as if the values used inside the inlined subVI don't match what the calling VI is feeding into its inputs. I haven't been able to consistently reproduce this issue so I apologize for the vague description, but since I felt I should finally address this and I couldn't really find anything similar by searching, I'll do my best to describe it and we'll see what turns up.
As I mentioned, the issue certainly doesn't occur consistently. I use inlined subVI here and there and most of the time there are no problems whatsoever. I ran into the issues randomly I think four times now, first three of them were on LV2013 and this last time on LV2014. In all cases I have been using AF and I think the first times were actually with an actor class. At the time I thought it might have been related to the AF, and it still might, but now the last time it wasn't the actor class itself but a data member of one. So far all of the problems have occured with class methods, and I think the "corrupt values" have been the object private data, but I can't confirm this.
This time the inlined subVI was a static dispatch method with contents shown below on the left and the calling on the right.
I'm showing the calling just to point out that when I was investigating the problem and I probed the object wires before and after the inlined subVI the values (Calibration.X Step and Calibration.Y Step) were OK, but the result of the VI (Point out) was some insane value as if the actual division inside was performed by corrupt data. I think that the output value wasn't Inf, though, so the divider might not have been a default value such as 0.
Other notes:
I checked that the wires are connected to the inputs and outputs
As I mentioned, the projects have always been relatively large AF setups, the problematic method has been an actor method or a method called by an actor somewhere down the chain. I have no reason to assume AF is the culprit, I'm just pointing this out, just in case
The problem seems to occur quite randomly but once it "starts" it doesn't go away until I find which inlined subVI it was and change it to a normal VI call
The problem might not even be specifically inlined subVI related but for example pre-allocated VI related instead
I don't know whether the problem would occur in a built executable as well, so far I've only ran into them while testing while developing and fixed them there
Looking at the "Known Issues" related to inlined subVI's I don't know if this related to them. The other one deals with execution systems, which I haven't touched to my knowledge, and the other one says "An Inline public methodVI calling a private-scope method VI, inlined into a non-class caller may give a runtime error when trying to call the private method from the inlined code in the non-class caller."
LabVIEW version is 14.0.1 (2014 SP1 32bit) on Windows 8.1
Yep, reading through this post I gotta say I'm not expecting much, what a mess, but it would be great to find out if anyone else has ever ran into similar problems or has a clue what's going here.

Just for the sake of your sanity, I've seen "funky" behaviour with inlined VIs also, but on Real-Time targets.
I've never been able to narrow down the exact problem but it seems to be related to changed made to inlined VIs not being reflected in the compiled code od VIs which call them.
I've reported it but without code which can actually reproduce it, it cannot be fixed.

HP Color Laserjet 2500 colors problem

Helloo!
I have a problem with my HP Color Laserjet 2500. I use Windows 7 proffesional 32-bit computer. Installed driver from hp support, because the CD that came with the printer, is only for XP/ 2000 /ME etc. I tried both, the PC5 and PC6 driver, always the same problem.
I can print, but i have one problem, and few questions.
Problem: Sometimes it prints only yellow color, sometimes only magneta. Sometimes it combines blue and magneta, and leaves black and yellow out. And sometimes, it prints all the colors. I could say, that almoust 50% of the times, it prints normally. When it does not, it prints like i desicribed above, in all different possibilities, sometimes doesn't print yellow, magneta, blue or black. Sometimes it doesn't print two colors, rearly prints only 1 color, and even more rearly (happened about 2-3 times) it doesn't print anything. It has been a problem for years since i attached it to the Win7 computer, but at first it worked great. Then sometimes it messed up 1 document in a while, then 2, then 3 in a week. But now it's bit more than 50% of the documents that it messes up.
Quesion 1: It appears, that when i choose Printing Preferences in the computer, it displays some different language, i think it's arabic!? Written from right to left. How can i change that?
Qouestion 2: I can't find my products serial number. When i print out the configuration page, it says Printer Serial Number: CNHDD06356, but when i post it in the HP Chat Support, it gives me error. What am i supposed to do?
If you solve my problem, i will buy you a beer when we meet!
PS. What i've tried:
Cold reset.
Different drivers.
New USB wire from printer to computer.
All cartridges have over 40% ink in them. Black 44, cyan 97, magneta 76 and yellow 97%.
Imaging drum is practically new, shows 93%.
Cleaned the printer inside.
Added a bit WD40 to moving parts.
Now i'm hoping you can help me..
This question was solved.

Hello again!
I SOLVED IT !
Who ever, when ever will have the same issue, here's how i fixed it (sorry for my not so correct english):
I googeled around a bit more, and found a topic in some forum:
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/68382
http://www.fixyourownprinter.com/forums/printer/63372#1
And then i saw a video in here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BoxmagIjhg
What i did:
Took the printer apart. All the plastic covers. I think i only had to take 2 screws out, to cet the covers. I only didn't take down the cover where you can put paper in, i didn't need to.
The cover where you put colors inside was tricki. The lid communicates with other pinions, so you'll have to remove it. To remove it, there is this little black pinion inside the printer. In the center of the pinion, there is a buttonish thing, you'll have to push it to the side ways, from center to edge to remove the pinion and then you'll be able to remove the top plastic cover.
Then i did as it's shown in the video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BoxmagIjhg
You'll have to clean this "solenoid" thing. I used a little knife to scratch off the clue from both pieces. There was supposed to be a felt, but mine didn't have it anymore, and THAT was wat was caousing it.
IMPORTANT: My felt from the solenoid was cone, so i replaced it with masking tape. I cut a little strips out off of a masking tape and clued/wrapped it around the solenoid. It is recommended though, that you clue a little felt back in there, but i didn't have it, so i used masking tape.
Then i put all the pieces back together and it worked !
You cant believe my happiness, when it started to print every paper correctly. I had this problem for a while, and unbelievably this worked.
If you have the same problem, i hope this trick will solve yours too.

Save for web color shift - only on images smaller than 150x150px

I'm getting a color shift only on small images (150x150px or smaller) when I save for web in Photoshop CC and CS6. That's very weird as it doesn't happen to images larger than 150x150px! That issue happens with images with different measurements as well (e.g. rectangle), the small looks dull and the larger display the right color.
My Color Settings are set to "Monitor Color". Under save for web I have the following options not ticked: Embed Color Profile and Convert to sRGB. (viget.com/inspire/the-mysterious-save-for-web-color-shift)
I'm running the OS X 10.8.4 on a macbook pro, I tested that on both, Safari 6.0.5 and FF.
The squares in the screenshot were saved exatly the same way. The largerer displays the right color #FFCB32, but the smaller displays the color wrong.
I appreciate your help.
Cheers

Epson R1900 Color Issues Only Printing From Lightroom

Hi all - my first post here thought I've been reading this forum since I purchased 1.1 a while back. I'm using 1.4.1 with XP Home, service pack 3. I've had very few issues with this release (which is why I haven't jumped to 2.X yet). To date, I've occasionally printed snapshots with an HP 1115, but most printing has been through labs.
I recently purchased an Epson R1900 and I've been unable to get colors to print remotely correct through Lightroom. It looks to me like the color is getting managed twice, regardless of the settings I use. The R1900 driver allows a preview before actually printing, and the colors it shows are always off by a lot, regardless of whether I let Lightroom manage color or the printer.
Other less sophisticated programs do not have this problem. I can print a JPEG image through Windows Photo Printing Wizard or a pdf through Adobe Reader with much closer correlation to the monitor. Prints from the HP 1115 are comparatively much lower quality, but through Lightroom or other applications, color is within reason. I'm assuming there are others that are successfully using this printer with Lightroom running on Windows XP. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I solved my color problem by updating the printer driver to version 6.60. When I discovered that a newer driver was available I had attempted to update it but it would not install correctly. I contacted Epson for help, but only received links to non-relevant information. I eventually determined that using MSCONFIG to keep all nonessential programs from starting would allow the driver to correctly install. Simply shutting down all user launched programs and my virus software was insufficient.
Prints are definitely on the dark side, but I've been able to compensate as Dan has suggested. Otherwise, I am quite pleased with the prints it produces on Epson Premium Glossy, and am looking forward to experimenting with other papers and ICC profiles. Thanks all for your help and suggestions.

Photoshop - Motion - DVDSP Color Problem

This message is crossposted in the Motion Forum because I'm not sure where the solution is to be found...
I'm putting together a dvd and I wanted to create transition animations to go between the menus. I've run into a bit of a color problem, however. To explain:
I created my main menu as a layered photoshop document (8-bit RGB, NTSC colorspace). I brought that menu into Motion, preserving all layers. I animated those layers in motion so that at the end of the animation they were another menu on the dvd, then I exported the last frame of the animation, brought it back into photoshop, and made everything line up so that it precisely matched the final frame of the animation, then saved that PSD as a new layered document. Finally, in DVD Studio Pro, I brought in the two Menu PSDs and the animated transition.
The problem I'm running into is that the color on the transition animation is washed out and somewhat desaturated compared to the menu PSDs. Rather than the seamless transition from layered menu PSD to animation and back to layered menu PSD, you can see this altered color "pop" on the animation.
Here's what I've checked and tried:
-I've exported the motion project as every codec that made any kind of sense (Animation NTSC, Apple Pro Video NTSC, etc).
-I've brought the Motion project directly into DVD Studio Pro, rather than exporting it.
-Using the color inspector in both Photoshop and Motion, I can see that all RGB values match exactly as they should.
-When I exported a frame of the animation and brought it back into Photoshop to create the second layered menu, the color matched exactly. In fact, I did the alignment using the "difference" layer mode, and there was no color shift at all.
So... any ideas?
Also: I'm going from these layered menus to a video track (first frame matches the layered menu) to another layered menu (matching the final frame of the video track)... that is the most sensible way to have animated transitions between menus, right?
Thanks in advance for any insights.
-W

Well, I found a solution... DVDSP didn't like the image in NTSC, but it seems to work with Generic RGB, provided I redo all of the animation from scratch using the same Generic RGB PSDs. A bit of a pain, but I suppose that's why I did this test after completing only one of the many animations the project will demand.
Thanks everyone for the insights.

[Solved] Firefox 3 betas give me some weird behaviour with images

I understand that there will be problems with beta software, however I seem to have memory issues with the firefox 2 series, so I thought I'd give the beta packages a try. I'm using the firefox-nightly package from AUR (firefox3b4), and I'm getting some weird behaviour. The same behaviour can be seen in all firefox 3 beta builds, however. It's hard to explain the problem, so here's a screenshot:
Notice that the image appears twice, once in the tab, and once in the tab toolbar next to the title of the tab. It looks like an attempted preview gone terribly wrong. Upon closing the tab, the tab toolbar shrinks down to the normal size and all is well. This happens with most images up to a certain size. Any one else experiencing this problem? Any suggestions? This is very annoying and I would like anyone's input on the problem.

Wow! This issue was solved in #archlinux by Nuked. Apparently I had some funky bits in my .mozilla directory. Removing it solved the problem. Remember kids, IRC is your friend. Anyone else experiencing weird stuff with their Firefox install should give this solution a try.

HTML Link -AS2 fine, AS3 weird behaviour

Hi Guys, I'm working on a project at the moment, and am
seeing weird behaviour with the way my swf handles html links
inside dynamic textboxes. When rendered as a AS2 file, the link
works on a release as expected. When its inside a AS3 file the link
will only work if the user right click and chooses 'open in new
window' was there a change in behaviour how AS3 handles these
links, or is there now an declaration needed to be made to allow
these link to have the old behaviour?
The project calls for xml data and embedded in that is a html
link. Originally I thought it might have been the way I'd formed
the xml so I tried with a hardcoded version instead (dynamic
textbox, add text -> highlight -> add link through properties
tab). But I still see the same behaviour between the as2 and as3
versions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Actually, the ''href'' attribute is supposed to direct the browser to a new URL, etc., not run a script. Instead, use the ''onclick'' event attribute:
''<a onclick = “$('.div-feedback').fadeIn();”></a>''.
Happy coding!
