Udev runs rules but it has no effect
since kernel 2.6.31-rc2, the rfkill switch on my notebook starts working. im trying to access it and make it restart the wireless network with netcfg. in order to do this im setting the following rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/rfkill.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="rfkill", ATTRS{state}=="1", RUN+="/etc/rc.d/net-auto restart"
SUBSYSTEM=="rfkill", ATTRS{state}=="0", RUN+="/etc/rc.d/net-auto stop"
these dont work.
if, instead i make it output something to a file replacing the RUN+= entry with for example "date > /etc/rfkill_test" it does work.
is there any restriction on what udev can do?
it appears netcfg2 is not working properly when called from udev. can anyone help?
something else ive been seeing. whenever a script runs without an interactive shell (aka, from cron, udev, or pm-suspend), they fail with these errors:
/bin/stty: standard input: Inappropriate ioctl for device dbus
can anyone help debug this? net-auto for example, fails to load the network during boot.
ive been tweaking my kernel to speed up compile time (removed drivers mostly), could this be the culprit? kernel config here in pastebin: http://pastebin.com/m239980e7

I have g15daemon , g15composer, g15macro, g15stats, libg15, lib15render installed.
The media keys are detected when setting them in the global shortcut for clementine, but pressing them has no effects (works on some reboots as i mentioned).
Hmmm....G15 media keys works out-of-the-box for Amarok. I can experiment on my box once I'm through with work in a few hours.
Looking at the Clementine bugtracker-there's an open bug regarding multimedia keys on Win7 and Clementine already. I'll play later-but I'm thinking this is something to post on their bug tracker. -
My macbook runs slow but it has lots of free memory
Basically, it always takes at least 5 mintues to start up and sometimes it even takes 20 minutes. I've checked how much memory I have and I still have about 155 GB free. It's the white macbook and I got it about 2/3 years ago. Please help!

DHCP_TIMEOUT in /etc/conf.d/netcfg has no effect
I want to set DHCP_TIMEOUT to 30 for all netcfg profiles. On this page in wiki it is suggested to set the variable in /etc/conf.d/netcfg. But this has no effect. I tried 'NETCFG_DEBUG="yes" netcfg <arguments>' and the timeout was still 10.

ADF Faces 10.1.3.0.4 - two-digit-year-start has no effect?
Hi all,
I have problem with entering date with an af:selectInputDate control:
the user enters the date and on an onblur event, the adf field
automatically reformats it:
10.10.10 ->10.10.2010
10.10.60 ->10.10.1960
The user (customer) wants 2 things to change:
1. if the given two digit year <= actual year (06):
10.10.06 ->10.10.2006
otherwise
10.10.07 ->10.10.1907
2. by entering a date, adf have to be accept the date without dots too:
101006 ->10.10.2006
1.: I tried to set theconfig param: <two-digit-year-start>2006</two-digit-year-start> (or with an EL expression) in the adf-faces-config.xml but it has no effect.
Is it a totally wrong idea or is it a bug?
Any other idea?
2.: Is it possible to solve this problem with a built in control or converter? Or do i have to write my own converter?
Thanks for any help!The exception is gone - I must have had something wrong in my classpath. However, I still see the warnings. Are those warnings expected when using ADF in conjunction with myfaces?

Intel GMA - turning off rotation access keys has no effect
I want to use ctrl+alt+down and ctrl+alt+up in some application, so I want to turn these access keys off. I did it in Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile settings but it has no effect - these key combinations still rotate my screen. The settings are correctly remembered.
I tried it on administrator and on normal user account. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?Yes. I have already done it, but it's a workaround, not a solution to this problem. I got used to this key combinations in Eclipse (programming environment). There are a lot of key shortcuts, which I use, so it's hard to choose another one, which is good and free.
When I comes to rotating a screen - I don't need it. I can not even imagine use case when 180 degree screen rotation in laptop would be useful :) -
Documentviewer new toolbar button HorizontalAlignment="Right" has no effect?
Hi all,
I added a button to the documentviewer toolbar after extracting a copy of the template in Blend. I added a button (closeButton) with an "X" as its content. It works but I want the button to be at the right side of the toolbar. I tried the
horizontalAlignment property but is has no effect. If I add margin="500,0,0,0" it works. But I don't want to fix it that way. What Am I missing?
Thanks

in 8.1.2 i have un checked the Ken Burns effect in some individual slides. Sometimes it turns itself back on. At first I thought I'd made the mistake myself, but it has happend many times. Can I avoid this? Is the software flawed?
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101. -

I would like to embed interactive widgets in iBooks using iBookAuthor. The widgets in question started life in Java but GWT has allowed them to be converted to javascript and to run on web pages (for example, http://softoption.us/content/node/437 scroll to the bottom). In theory, iBookAuthor can bring in most html5, and much javascript. The technique is to wrap the html in a folder, with 2 extra files, a plist and a default png and then change the extension of the folder to ‘.wdgt’. This is the technique for making Dashboard widgets for the Mac, and Apple even have the Dashcode software to do it. So what you really do is to make a Dashboard widget, then iBookAuthor can import it. So far, so good. And some folk have been doing this, for example http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9242432.htm http://www.panophoto.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=64&t=10417&p=158330#p158423 However, if you start with GWT and create a single page with one button and a Hello World, compile it, and get the WAR file (I use Eclipse here)… the Safari browser and others will run it properly (even on an iPad). Then if you wrap it, a proper Dashboard widget is created, which runs properly on a Mac. Then if you go to iBookAuthor and put a custom widget in the Text, then drag it in. It is accepted by the text and shown as being there. However, if you use Preview to look at it on an iPad, it is gone (or was never there in the first place). Anyone any ideas on this? [And iBook Author seems to give no warnings.] The widget is at https://dl.dropbox.com/u/46713473/Test6.wdgt.zip I have bells and whistles that I’d like to get into an iBook!
Thanks for any insights.
MartinI do have a little to add, which might help someone. Indeed, opening a blank page and dragging the widget straight in seems good in difficult cases. But, actually, I was also able to insert successfully from the Toolbar especially to blank pages. So, it may have been something to do with the columns and stuff like that. Anyway back then the insertion would show in iBooks Author but not in the Preview on the iPad. I moved on to actual Google Web Toolkit output javascript. Basically I had three at hand to try: a Hello World with a button which went straight it, one of moderate complexity, (for example with a built in Lisp interpreter), which also went straight in, and finally a more complex one that initially was rejected by iBook Author. Author complained that there was an unsupported media file (of course, Author does not tell you which one it is, that would be too easy). [Remember, this was a proper working Dashboard widget which could be installed on a Mac]. Among other things I had read remarks about .gif files. When looking through the GWT war directory at the actual javascript etc files, I noticed there were two gifs there one called ‘clear.cache.gif ‘ and a second one called ‘0F89659FF3F324AE4116F700257E32BD.cache.gif’. (Now, there is obfuscation so the numbers here may be different from case to case.) The clear.cache.gif did not seem to be anything special. But the other one is an animation. It is three little boxes that twinkle (rather like a waiting spinning cursor). So, I opened that file and saved it to itself (that picks the top frame of the animation and saves only that, leaving you with an unanimated gif). The resulting widget drags and drops into iBooks Author (and seems to work properly at a quick glance). So, if you are having trouble with ‘unsupported media files’ converting animated gifs into unanimated gifs might help in some cases.

I performed a software update and the system is installing an update but it has been running for over 24hrs and keeps saying "This may take a few minutes, don't shut down your computer" Can anyone help?
Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -
"Lync 2013" error we're sorry, but outlook has run into an error that is preventing it from working
Hi -
So I've an legal Office 2013 version running on my Surface Pro 2, which works fine.
I installed lync client 2013 (not from the appstore, but the desktop version) and on first sight, seems to work as well.
Now comes the issue - when I want to join a meeting, the following error comes up:
"we're sorry, but lync has run into an error that is preventing it from working''
I already re-installed Office and Lync several times - but the error keeps coming and it getting really frustrated because I cannot join any meeting.
TimHi,
Please check if the Lync conference add-in is active in Outlook.
You can check with the following steps:
Click File button on Outlook, Options--Add-Ins. Make sure the Lync Add-in for Microsoft Office 2013 in the list of "Active Application Add-ins". If it is in Inactive Application Add-ins or Disabled Application Add-ins, active it and then restart
Lync client and Outlook to test the issue.
If the issue persists, please also delete Lync user profile and Outlook profile to test the issue.

# Question
I want to download and install adobe flash player. When I do so one of 2 things occur. A dialog box appears but it has no run option but a save file or cancel option. The other is if the proper dialog box appears, I agree and the a different box appears and there is foxfire with a red circle with a diagonal line across is appears.I find the easiest way to install Adobe Flash is to use the manual installers. You just need to download the installer to your computer, then run it to install Flash. For more details see http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/191/tn_19166.html#main_ManualInstaller
That link states you should uninstall earlier versions, as you don't have the version of Flash used by Firefox you can skip that step. -
