Two quick questions about the project and timing panes

1) Is there a hotkey for toggling between the project and timing panes?
I can't seem to find this anywhere. I know F5 and F6 open and close them, but I'd like to be able to simply activate then without having to click on them. I'd like to be able to simply toggle between them and navigate using the arrow keys
2) Is there a way to lock together the project and timing views so that when you open a group in one that group is also opened in the other?

Sure, play/stop SHOULD work, but it doesn't always. And the up/down arrows only work to move layers in some instances. Try this. In a normal project, select a layer in either the layers pane or the canvas. Use the up/down arrows and you'll find Motion cycles between layers. Now close the layers pane (F5) and open it again. Now try to use the up/down arrows. It no longer cycles on my machine (and probably yours).
In fact, Motion 4 broke a LOT of the keyboard shortcuts that used to work seemlessly in Motion 3.
For example: I create a text object and start typing my text. About 30 percent of the time hitting the spacebar while typing text will cause playback to start. Pure annoyance.
I used to be able to Hit HOME and END to go to the start and end of the project when the layer's pane is active, now I can't.
About 25 percent of the time when I'm in the layers pane and I hit spacebar, instead of playing the project, I turn off the layer that was currently selected.
Those are just a few of my pet peeves. There are definitely some real issues with shortcuts in Motion 4.

  • Two quick questions about the new iMacs...

    I work at a church, and this summer, we are breaking ground on a new building. I am hoping to get a new iMac to go in the new sound booth to run the Power Point. Two questions:
    Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?
    Did I hear somewhere that the new iMacs support an external monitor (a different output than the main monitor)?
    Thanks!
    Matthew

    <<Would a church get a special discount when buying from Apple?

    I know Apple offers education and government discounts... I'm not aware of discounts for church organizations.
    Yes, the iMac CD offers support for dual monitors, mirrored and extended.

  • This is a two part question about the creative 16gb Zen?

    8This is a two part question about the creative 6gb Zen? First of all, my battery life dropped very suddenly. One charge I was getting the full 30 hour battery life and the next it dropped to under ten. I tried using their tips on how to extend the battery life and I am still getting less than 0 hours of battery life. Why would it dropped more than half the amount between charges? I tried recharging it after it ran out and still the same thing. Any help?
    Second, (I am adding this question because it might relate to the first in some way) my mp3 player has been behaving strangely lately. For example, some artists sometimes have letters removed or all but the first end up being removed. But, if you reset the player, the artists go back to the full name. Also, my player has been taking a little longer than usual to turn on. It takes about 30 seconds to turn on instead of the 5-0 that I'm used to. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
    My Zen is only 4 months old, and I would be very upset it it's breaking already. Please, if you have any suggestions on how I can fix what's happening, post them. (Even if they?probably won't work, they're worth a try.)

    < This is an unusual one; never heard of it before. All I can suggest is cleaning up and perhaps reflashing the firmware. If it still is doing this, then get the thing exchanged pronto.
    My guess is that the problems are indeed closely related.

  • A few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx

    i have a few questions about the ka790gx and dka790gx , how much better is the dka790gx compaired to the ka790gx ? . how much difference does the ACC function make to overclocking etc , i plan on getting a phenom II 940BE or 720BE . i already have the ka790gx so would it be worth building another system using the dka790gx mobo , or should i keep what i already have and just change the cpu ?

    It's largely irrelevant what other boards had VRM issues other than the KA790GX - the fact is it died at stock settings. Since there is little cost difference between the more robust DKA790GX (or Platinum if you really need 1394) why bother with the proven weakling? There are other examples around of the KA not having a robust power section.  There's no way I would use even a 95W TDP CPU in the KA and absolutely not O/C.....!
    As for the credentials of Custom PC, I have generally found their reviews accurate and balanced, and echo my own findings where applicable. If a little too infrequent.
    The fact that the KA has such a huge VRM heatsink leads me to my other comments on the Forum, particularly regarding the "fudge" aspect:
    """Henry is spot on - the notion that adding a heatsink to the top of the D2PAK or whatever MOSFETS is effective is virtually worthless. The device's die thermal junction is the tab on the device back - which is always against the PCB pad. The majority of heat is therefore dissipated in to the board, and the fact that the epoxy plastic encapsulation gets hot is simply due to the inability of the heat to be conducted away from the device die via the tab. Not sure when Epoxy become an effective conductor of heat.... Good practice is to increase the size of the PCB pad (or "land" in American) such that the enlarged PCB copper area acts as an adequate heatsink. This is still not as effective as clamping a power device tab to an actual piece of ali or copper, but since the devices used are SMD devices, this is not possible. However, the surface area required to provide sufficient PCB copper area to act as a heatsink for several devices isn't available in the current motherboard layouts. Where industrial SBC designs differ in this respect is to place the VRM MOSFETs on the back of the PCB on very enlarged PCB pads - where real estate for components is not an issue.
    Gigabyte's UD3 2oz copper mainboards sound like a good idea, on the face of it. However, without knowing how they have connected the device tabs to where and what remains a mystery. I suspect it is more hype than solution, although there will be some positive effect. From an electrical perspective, having lower resistance connecting whatever to whatever (probably just a 0V plane) is no bad thing.
    The way the likes of ASUS sort of get round the problem is to increase the sheer number of MOSFET devices and effectively spread the heat dissipation over a larger physical area. This works to a degree, there is the same amount of heat being dissipated, but over several more square inches. The other advantage of this is that each leg of the VRM circuit passes less current and therefore localised heat is reduced. Remember that as well as absolute peak operating temperature causing reduced component life, thermal cycling stresses the mechanical aspects of components (die wire bonds for example) as well as the solder joints on the board. Keeping components at a relatively constant temperature, even if this is high (but within operating temperature limits), is a means of promoting longevity.
    For myself, the first thing I do with a seperate VRM heatsink is take it off and use a quiet fan to blow air on to the VRM area of the PCB - this is where the heat is. This has the added benefit of actively cooling the inductors and capacitors too....
    Cooling the epoxy component body is a fudge. If the epoxy (and thus any heatsink plonked on top of it) is running at 60C, the component die is way above that.....
    It's better than nothing, but only just."""

  • A quick question about WebDynpro SLD and R/3 with concurrent users

    Hello ,
    I have a very quick question about Webdynpros and SLD connecting to an R/3 system, when you configure a webdynpro to connect to an R/3 system using SLD, you configure a user name and password from the R/3  for the SLD to use. What I would like to know is when I have concurrent users of my webdynpro, how can I know what one user did in R/3 and what another user did? Is there a way for the users of the web dynpro to use their R/3 credentials so SLD can access the R/3? Like dynamically configuring the SLD for each user?
    - I would like to avoid leaving their their passwords open in the code ( configuring two variable to get the users username and password and use these variables as JCO username and password )
    Thanks Ubergeeks,
    Guy

    Hi Guy
    You will have to use Single Sign On to achieve this. In the destination you have defined to connect to R/3 , there is an option to 'useSSO' instead of userid and password. This will ensure that calls to R/3 will be with the userid that has logged into WAS. You wont need to pass any passwords because  a login ticket is generated from WAS and passed on to R/3. The userid is derived from this ticket.
    For this to happen you will have to maintain a trust relation ship between R/3 and your WAS ,there is detailed documentation of this in help files. Configuration is very straight forward and is easy to perform

  • Question about dependent projects (and their libraries) in 11g-Oracle team?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a question about dependent projects. An example:
    In JDeveloper 10.1.3.x if you had for instance 2 projects (in a workspace): project 1 has one project library (for instance a log4j library) and project 2 is a very simple webapplication which is dependent on project 1. Project 2 has one class which makes use of log4j.
    This compiles fine, you can run project 2 in oc4j, and the libraries of project 1 (log4j) are added on the classpath and everything works fine. This is great for rapid testing as well as keeping management of libraries to a minimum (only one project where you would update a library e.g.)
    However in 11g this approach seems not to work at all anymore now that weblogic is used, not even when 'export library' is checked in project 1. The library is simply never exported at all - with a noclassdeffound error as result. Is this approach still possible (without having to define multiple deployment profiles), or is this a bug?
    Thanks!

    Hi Ron,
    I've tried what you said, indeed in that .beabuild.txt when 'deploy by default' is checked it adds a line like: C:/JDeveloper/mywork/test2/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar = test2-view-webapp/WEB-INF/lib/log4j-1.2.14.jar
    Which looks fine, except that /web-inf/lib/ is empty. I presume its a sort of mapping to say: Load it like it in WEB-INF/lib? This line is not there when the deploy by default is not checked.
    I modified the TestBean as follows (the method that references Log4j does it thru a Class.forName() now only):
    public String getHelloWorld() {
    try {
    Class clazz = Class.forName("org.apache.log4j.Logger");
    System.out.println(clazz.getName());
    catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    return "Hello World";
    In both cases with or without line, it throws:
    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Logger
         at weblogic.utils.classloaders.GenericClassLoader.findLocalClass(GenericClassLoader.java:283)

    Secondly I added weblogic.xml with your suggested code, in the exploded war this results in a weblogic.xml which looks like:

  • Quick Question about Cisco 3560 and the Web Device Manager

    Alright, I have a quick question that I am curious about but I haven't found any information
    about it.
    When I log into my Cisco 3560 using the web portal to get to the Device Manager. Below the
    diagram of the switch, then under the Dashboard there is section called Switch
    Health, Port Utilization.
    Under the Switch Health there is Bandwidth Used, Packet Error. Those two options just sit
    at zero and do not move. The Port tilization graph is also sitting at zero.
    Is there a way to make them functional?

    Anyone notice performance increase or decrease of their HD when using the nVidia IDE SW drivers?  particularly with a 74GB Raptor?  I've also heard of burner issues when installing the IDE SW but have not used my burner yet.

  • Two questions about the E1000 and Xbox 360

    Okay this is going to be a two part questions. ( both my friend and I have the E1000 )
    1st
    My friend and his brother are having issues with their Xbox 360's. My friend has his xbox set to dmz mode and his brother is just using I guess we'll say the default way. And when my friend is playing any game his brother tries to play call of duty black ops and the nat says strict or moderate. Now I was reading about port range triggering and how to set it up but there are different ways some people are doing it. I've seen a few videos that the people had different settings. Whats the correct way that my friend and his brother can both play xbox 360 and not have any nat issues?
    ( BTW their both hook-up wired )
    2nd
    I'm currently using dmz settings as-well ( wireless ) My home users only uses a few devices like laptops, ipods, kindle, and just one Xbox. Now I want the optimal performance I can get. I'm currently downloading mass effect ( games on demand xbox 360 ) The game size is 6.83gb and taking awhile to download. I say I've been downloading it for over 40 minutes and I'm currently at 77%, is this normal speed? Or can I boost my speed a bit? My Internet Provider is Cablevision in NJ "Optimum Online" download is 15mbps download is 5mbps.

    Xbox live will only let you connect 1 xbox for every WAN IP address. Your ISP gives you only 1 dynamic public IP which will be pass down from the modem to the router. The router gives your other devices private ip addresses.
    Strictly speaking, only 1 xbox will be allowed by xbox live to connect because of the reason you only have 1 public ip. You will be lucky if you can connect two.
    Anyway, you can try the steps below:
    Access the page of your router
    Click Admin Tab, disable UpNP.
    Then trigger ports: 3074/53/88/22728/33233
    2869/10280-10284/1900/1024
    Click Applications and Gaming Center Tab
    Click Port Range Trigger
    Ex:
    Application name: xbox1, xbox2
    xbox1--enter port 3074 on all 4 boxes and click enable
    xbox2--enter 10280 on start box and 10284 on end box, same for the other 2 boxes and click enable.
    Enter all number and on the applications boxes and save

  • Two questions about the query and lsmw .

    Hi Experts ,
    Could you tell me how to download the query to local driver ? is it possible to do that ?
    I hear somebody introduce lsmw this t-code . it can transfer the data from non-sap/r3 system ? has somebody can fully expain this t-code ?
    Many thanks !!!
    Best Regards,
    Carlos Z

    Hi,
          LSMW – Step by Step Guide: Legacy System Migration Workbench is an R/3 Based tool for data transfer from legacy to R/3 for one time or periodic transfer.
    Basic technique is Import data from Spreadsheet / Sequential file, convert from source format to target format and import into R/3 database. LSMW not part of standard R/3, if we need this product email [email protected]
    Advantages of LSMW:
        • Most of the functions are within R/3, hence platform independence.
       • Quality and data consistency due to standard import techniques.
       • Data mapping and conversion rules are reusable across projects.
       • A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion.
       • Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
       • Interface for data in spreadsheet format.
       • Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions.
       • Charge-free for SAP customers and partners.
    Working With LSMW:
    Use TCODE LSMW
    Objects of LSMW:
      •Project   – ID with max of 10 char to Name the data transfer project.
      • Subproject   – Used as further structuring attribute.
      • Object   – ID with max of 10 Characters, to name the Business object .
      • Project can have multiple sub projects and subprojects can have multiple objects.
      • Project documentation displays any documentation maintained for individual pop ups and processing steps
    User Guide: Clicking on Enter leads to interactive user guide which displays the Project name, sub project name and object to be created.
    Object type and import techniques:
      • Standard Batch / Direct input.
      • Batch Input Recording
          o If no standard programs available
          o To reduce number of target fields.
          o Only for fixed screen sequence.
        • BAPI
        • IDOC
          o Settings and preparations needed for each project
    Preparations for IDOC inbound processing:
        • Choose settings -> IDOC inbound processing in LSMW
        • Set up File port for file transfer, create port using WE21.
        • Additionally set up RFC port for submitting data packages directly to function module IDoc_Inbound_Asynchronous, without creating a file during data conversion.
        • Setup partner type (SAP recommended ‘US’) using WE44.
        • Maintain partner number using WE20.
        • Activate IDOC inbound processing.
        • Verify workflow customizing.
    Steps in creating LSMW Project:
        • Maintain attributes – choose the import method.
        • Maintain source structure/s with or without hierarchical relations. (Header, Detail)
        • Maintain source fields for the source structures. Possible field types – C,N,X, date, amount and packed filed with decimal places.
        • Fields can be maintained individually or in table form or copy from other sources using upload from a text file
        • Maintain relationship between source and target structures.
        • Maintain Field mapping and conversion rules
        • For each Target field the following information is displayed:
          o Field description
          o Assigned source fields (if any)
          o Rule type (fixed value, translation etc.)
          o Coding.
          o Some fields are preset by the system & are marked with Default setting.
        • Maintain Fixed values, translations, user defined routines – Here reusable rules can be processed like assigning fixed values, translation definition etc.
        • Specify Files
          o Legacy data location on PC / application server
          o File for read data ( extension .lsm.read)
          o File for converted data (extension .lsm.conv)
        • Assign Files – to defined source structures
        • Read data – Can process all the data or part of data by specifying from / to transaction numbers.
        • Display read data – To verify the input data being read
        • Convert Data – Data conversion happens here, if data conversion program is not up to date, it gets regenerated automatically.
        • Display converted data – To verify the converted data
    Import Data – Based on the object type selected
        • Standard Batch input or Recording
          o Generate Batch input session
          o Run Batch input session
        • Standard Direct input session
          o Direct input program or direct input transaction is called
    BAPI / IDOC Technique:
        • IDOC creation
          o Information packages from the converted data are stored on R/3 Database.
          o system assigns a number to every IDOC.
          o The file of converted data is deleted.
        • IDOC processing
          o IDOCS created are posted to the corresponding application program.
          o Application program checks data and posts in the application database.
    Finally Transport LSMW Projects:
        • R/3 Transport system
          o Extras ->Create change request
          o Change request can be exported/imported using CTS
        • Export Project
          o Select / Deselect part / entire project & export to another R/3 system
        • Import Project
          o Exported mapping / rules can be imported through PC file
          o Existing Project data gets overwritten
          o Prevent overwriting by using
        ‘Import under different name
        • Presetting for Inbound IDOC processing not transportable.

  • Two separate questions about the new s3 update

    Okay, so I just recently updated my s3 and so far I love everything about it, very nice job. Just two things bother me about it (not sure if the second one has to do with the update or not)
    Firstly, when you receive a text message it pops up on your lock screen with about the first sentence of the message. Now that's a big problem for me, I enjoy my privacy, so if I'm texting someone, get up and leave me phone wherever I am at the time, someone could pick up my phone and instantly see who I'm talking to and what about without any type of security (I have the pin lock). If there is a way to disable it I cannot find it anywhere, maybe I'm not looking hard enough, any help would be appreciated.
    Secondly, when sent a picture message instead of the message itself from the person sending it I get a message from "Me" or my own phone number saying "You've got a new PIX or FLIX message! To see it, visit *insert the vzw site here*. When going to the site it asks me to sign up and sync my phone to the cloud, which I do not want at all. Is this something with my service or the new update? It's quite infuriating to be honest. If either of these is true, is there a way to disable this feature and continue receiving pictures/video messages "normally"? PS: Picture/Video messaging worked all normal before I updated.
    Thank you so much for any insight or help you can provide.

  • Two quick questions about Library after moving beginning on a new computer

    Hi there,
    I just moved from Windows to Mac, meaning I had to move my iTunes library from the old PC to my new MBA.
    Just a couple of quick questions.
    1. When I started iTunes on my new Mac, in the preferences I directed the media folder to the folder with all my itunes music/podcasts etc, and then I imported the Library XML file.  Is this incorrect? Should I have imported a different file? Should I have used the itl file instead? 
    If so, should I delete the library and start again?  (if this is the case, please suggest the best way of doing this without affecting my media)
    - a kind of sub-question to this one:  some of the media files arent showing up in the iTunes library, but they are in the media folder on the ext HDD.  Is there a way I can find out which ones havent been recognized by iTunes?  Whats the best way of getting them in to my library?
    2. Pretty much half of my podcasts have not been loaded in the new iTunes.  The ones that havent were ones that I subscribed to on my iPhone, whereas the ones that show up in iTunes were ones I downloaded from iTunes.  When I connect my iPhone and sync it with iTunes, will those podcasts show up in iTunes?  Or is there a risk that they will be deleted from my iPhone?
    Cheers,

    The .xml is lacking some information such as ratings, date added, and play count.  Using the .itl includes this information but cannot be imported using the method you did.
    A complete library is everything in the iTunes folder.  By using the method you did you left the artwork behind in the artwork folder on the other machine.
    Selecting the media folder in preferences does not get iTunes to recognize the media.  All it does is tell iTunes to start storing new media in that location.
    Using the method I outlined nothing will be missed (with the exception of WMA) because you aren't rebuilding your library, you are using the one that already exists.
    You don't have to re-copy everything as long as you get the stuff you missed and re-assemble it all as it was before except not on the Mac.

  • Shopping for a T61 - questions about the OS and various h/w options

    Hi,
    I am considering buying a Thinkpad T61, but it's been a while since I have bought a computer, let alone a laptop, so I thought I'd ask a few questions here.
    I have worked on several Thinkpads T-series at work before, and I liked them, but they were all provided to me by my employers.
    I am browsing the different models on the Lenovo Canada web site; the US site looks just the same.
    The use I would make of the computer is typical office work (Word, Excel, e-mail), synchronize data with a PDA, Internet browsing, some limited web (PHP) and image editing (Paint shop pro), and listening to digital music. On occasion, watch a movie on DVD.
    I don't play 3D games.
    I would use the computer with a docking station and an external keyboard, LCD monitor and mouse when I am at home.
    I am looking at the T61 models with 15-inch widescreen, integrated graphics and no mobile broadband.
    1.) Operating system: obviously, Vista is recommended by Lenovo, but I have heard so many negative comments on this OS that I wonder if I shouldn't stick to XP. Even on this forum, I see posts about problems with Vista. Any advice on that?
    2.) I already have a license for XP on my previous machine. Assuming I buy the Vista with this one, then I would legally have the right to install either system on it, right?
    I know the machine doesn't come with an install CD, but if I get one somewhere else, would I be able to install it, or does the OS come with some weird DRM system that will prevent me from installing another OS than the exact copy of the one that was shipped with it?
    I ask this because I'm fairly certain that I will want to change the way the system partitions are set up.
    (this might sound like a silly question, but the acronym DRM became so prominent in recent years that I want to make sure)
    3.) The website says that some T61 machines come with an integrated camera. Later on in the detailed descriptions, I don't see it mentioned anywhere. Which do and which don't come with the embedded web cam?
    4.) 15.4 WXGA TFT vs. 15.4 WSXGA+ TFT : what are the resolutions of each?
    5.) Hard drive: I would go with a 7200 rpm model. Is there any benefit to getting the 1GB drive cache?
    6.) DVD recordable option: how fast does it record CDs and DVDs ?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Kevin
    about the speakers I cannot advice.
    Regarding the driver - if there is a driver update availabel from TOSHIBA (important!!) then use it! That means they have found some kind of bug in the original driver and released a fix for it. I do not recommend you to use the nVidia generic driver since it might make the PC behave bad. StandBy / Hibernation might stop working properly. Power consumption might go up....and so on.
    Regarding the BIOS. The BIOS'es are a special chapter - when upgrading the BIOS the machine re-writes a very special part of the 'hardware' (actually it's a software installed in a chip that does not go away when you turn the computer off, it is sometimes also called firmware). That firmware is needed (among other things) to get the machine to start and load the operating system.
    If the re-write process fails it could mean that the firmware is not able to start the machine anymore. And if the machine does not start at all, you will have no chance to retry writing the firmware. So that mean the machine will be dead and you will not be able to do anything about it except turning to an ASP and possibly pay for the service.
    So, that said, it is very important that you have a realiable powersupply (which you normally have with the AC Adapter) and that you make 100% sure that you use the correct BIOS-file.
    If you can accomplish those 2 small things there should be no problem upgrading the BIOS.

  • Question about the Cluster and Column width in Graphs in Illustrator CS2

    How do they relate to each other? How do the Percentages work together? Is there any information about how you can mathematically figure how much area each Cluster width takes. If you make a graph and make both the cluster and column widths 100%, the entire area is filled. If you make the Column width 50% the bar will sit exactly in the center of the Cluster width, but if you make the cluster width 75%, the bars move closer together.

    Gregg,
    The set of bars that represent each row of data in the graph spreadsheet is called a "cluster".
    Let's let
       W = the width of the whole area inside the graph axes
       R = the number of rows of data
       C = the number of columns of data
    Then the maximum potential space to use for each row of data is W/R. The cluster width controls how much of this potential space is assigned to each row. This cluster space is then divided by C, giving the maximum potential width of each bar. The maximum potential width for each bar is then multiplied by the column width percentage to get the actual width of each bar.
    So the actual width of each bar is ((W/R)*Cluster width)/C)*Column width
    The graphs illustrated below have three rows of data, with two columns each. The solid colored areas in the background have the same cluster width as the main graph, but they all have a column width of 100%. This lets you see more easily how the gradient bars that have a column width of 80% are using up 80% of their potential width.
    Notice that as the Cluster percentage gets lower, the group of bars that represent a row of data get farther apart, so that you can more easily see the "clumping" of rows. When the Cluster percentage is 100%, the columns within each row are no closer to each other than they are to the columns in other rows.
    As the Column percentage gets lower, the bars for each data value occupy less of the space within their row's cluster, so that spaces appear between every bar, even in the same row.

  • KDE4 - Questions about the desktop and multiple monitors.

    Hi,
    I'm giving KDE4 a try and find it pretty good so far. I do have a few questions though.  I have two monitors running off an Nvidia card. 
    First question concerns the top  of the screens. There seems to be an empty 'panel(?)' at the top of each screen.  All that's in it is a grayed out cashew for the widgets.  Unfortunately I can't move any window into the area covered by that bar or panel. Is there a setting somewhere I should change or is there a way to get rid of the top 'panels'?
    The next concerns other desktops. What happens is that when I switch to desktop 2 my right-most screen goes black. It loses the wallpaper. I can move windows on to it and it performs ok. It's just weird that it's black. Again, is there a setting somewhere? Currently my xorg.conf is set up to use twinview. Should I try xinerama?
    I have a directory called Desktop in my home dir. I have a few ".desktop" files in it. These are displayed on the screen in a large rectangle labeled "Desktop".  However, when I tell KDE4 to display one of the standard menu items on the desktop it places them outside this rectangle. Is there a way to control this behavior and also to control the size of the rectangle?
    Lastly, my "panel" or taskbar only appears on the left screen. Is there a way to spread it across both???
    Thanks in advance.

    appel wrote:You can simply create another panel on the other screen, then add configure panel settings widget to it.  Once done, right click and configure panel and select 'only show apps on this monitor on this panel'.
    Doesnt work on my second screen. When I right-click, I get the menu but when I select 'add panel' nothing happens.

  • Question about the whitelist and installing a Wireless AC card on a Thinkpad Yoga

    Hi,
    So I'm looking at buying a Thinkpad Yoga, but the model I'm looking at doesn't have AC wireless.  I've read up a bit about FRUs and whitelists, and was just wondering if the same model wireless card with two different Lenovo parts numbers will be compatible with each other or if the bios will block it if I don't buy the specific Lenovo part number.

    Yes, you install grub to sda (master boot record), and add the entry for Windows. In the step where you partition the harddrive, you can choose where to create it. Actually it may not be that much of a problem anymore, my boot is on the third partition, after ~15 GB. You can forget about the bootable flag when using grub, it does not care.
