Very strange...

I have the strangest problem happening and I don't understand what's going on.
I have quake3, Americas Army and Enemy Territory installed on my system but none of them work. The console(terminal) commands for the games don't even exisit aswell. What I mean is, after you install quake3 it says type quake3 in the console(terminal) to start the game. Well, the command doesn't even show up as an option. Same goes for AA and ET. What's going on? I  even tried exec the binaries of the games directly and it "starts" the game but boots me back to the desktop before any visuals are made. Any ideas as to what's going on? I have also tried running them in root, just incase that was the problem...which never was before but it was just an idea.
I've never had this problem before on any other distro, and I would love to stay with Arch, so hopefully there is a work around.
A couple of other things to mention:
I have full 3d working. glxgears gives me 5800+ fps (faster than slaclware )
Tuxracer works with no problems...
My system specs are:
athlon-xp 2500 barton
512 ram
Nvidia gefore4ti4200
30gig hd
(simple and effective system)
I just hope I'm posting enough info and that I'm posting this in the right place on the board.
If anyone can think of anything I will be greatful. Thanks in advance.

  • Help with getting values from request. Very Strange!!

    Hello,
    My very strange problem is the following.
    I have created three dynamic list boxes. When the user select
    the first list box, the second becomes populated with stuff
    from a database. The third becomes populated when the second
    is selected. Now, I have used hidden values in order for
    me to get the selected value from the first listbox. The
    following code is my first listbox:
    <SELECT NAME="resources" onChange="document.hiddenform.hiddenObject.value = this.option [this.selectedIndex].value; document.hiddenform.submit();">
    <OPTION VALUE =""> Resource</OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="soil"> Soil </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="water"> Water </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="air"> Air </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="plants"> Plants </OPTION>
    <OPTION VALUE ="animals"> Animals </OPTION>
    </SELECT>
    I use the getRequest method to get the value of hiddenObject.
    At this time I am able to get the value of hiddenObject to populate
    the second list box.
    But, when the user selects an item from the second list box
    and the second form is also submitted,
    I lose the value of hiddenObject. Why is this??
    The code to populate my second listbox is the following:
    <SELECT NAME ="res_categories" onChange="document.hiddenform2.hiddenObject2.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value; document.hiddenform2.submit(); ">
    <OPTION VALUE ="" SELECTED> Category</OPTION>
    Here I access a result set to populate the list box.
    Please help!!

    Form parameters are request-scoped, hence the request.getParameter("hiddenObject"); call after the submission of the second form returns a null value because the hiddenObject parameter does not exist within the second request.
    A solution would be to add a hiddenObject field to your second form and alter the onChange event for res_categories to read
    document.hiddenform2.hiddenObject.value=document.1stvisibleformname.resources.option[document.1stvisibleformname.resources.selectedIndex].value;
    document.hiddenform2.hiddenObject2.value = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;
    document.hiddenform2.submit();You will then come across a similar problem with your third drop-down if indeed you need to resubmit the form...
    A far better approach would be to create a session scoped bean, and a servlet to handle these requests. Then when the servlet is called, it would set the value of the bean property, thus making it available for this request, and all subsequent requests within the current session. This approach would eliminate the need for the clunky javascript, making your application far more stable.

  • Address Book behaves very strange

    Hello members and outside viewers,
    First thing: My Address Book behaves very strange.
    - After startup, the window freezes. Only if I minimize and click again, works OK. I began used to it, BUT
    - Since yesterday, Addresses gone, disappeared from every entry.
    - Under Preferences » Address Format is uneditable, it has "Item3" in it, unclickable drop down menu.
    - Under Preferences »Template » Add Field several options are grey: "Phone", "Email", "Related Names", "Instant Messaging", "Address".
    Please can you help me! I deleted both plist files from Preferences folder and deleted the whole folder under Application Support/AddressBook, also reinstalled Address Book from Leopard DVD, but nothing helped so far.
    Second thing: when I invoke Spotlight, and start typing after 2-3 seconds, it quits and also Dock unusable, restarts automatically. Spotlight is useless, it behaves every time like this. Spotlight in Finder windows are OK, system-wide menubar has this error. Also, it was suddenly gone wrong like Address Book. Can I think of some virus?
    P.S. (off topic), might helpful to share: very frustating, that registering to Discussions took me over an hour.
    - With Safari 4.03 the "Name" and "AppleID" are blank fields on "Create New User Account", therefore impossible to proceed. ( Error: invalid AppleID. Please login with a different AppleID )
    - With Firefox you can actually see them, but "?" instead of accounted letters.
    - After changing My Info, I finally realised that Apple ID should be complete e-mail address.
    - That means my "visionfresh" account is totally different from "[email protected]" (or me.com, whatever..)
    - Not to mention that I created a new Apple ID, that was also not working.
    - Bottom line: my "[email protected]" account is working also in Safari after editing my Name (replace accented characters), but I could not proceed with the nickname "visionfresh", I chose "matyashuszar".

  • My iPhone is saying its taking up 10g of photos and I only have 154 pictures. Also when I got my screen fixed I had 2,000 and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange. It's as if my phone still has the pictures but I can't see

    My phone is saying all my storage for pictures is taken up when I only have 154 picture.. It happened when I got my screen fixed at a kiosk in a mall and I had 2,000 pictures when I gave it to him and when I got it back I had 0 but my wallpapers remained.. Very strange it's as if my phone still has the pictures on there.. But I can't see them. Anybody know what I should do :( I keep having to delete apps because I have no more storage for no reason :(((

    You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

  • Very strange error: unable to activate any messgae mapping in IR

    very strange error,
    i m unable to activating any message mapping in IR,
    while activating the error thrown was:
    /usr/sap/XID/DVEBMGS00/j2ee/cluster/server0/./temp/classpath_resolver/Mapdddd0cb0100311dca6090012799eddc6/source/com/sap/xi/tf/_MM_sdptestFileToFile_.java (No such file or directory (errno:2))
    My observation:
    On looking at the error, i found that the folder Mapdddd0cb0100311dca6090012799eddc6 is not created at the proper place.....
    Which i assume is created dynamically created on activating a message mapping,
    Now, i saw that the directory in which these Map* folders were created, already contained 32765 folders....... since this machine is UNIX, the max no. of directories that can be inside a directory cannot be more than 32768(not confirm).....
    hence the folder Map* cant be created at the proper place...and hence message mapping cant be activated.........
    ever encountered this problem....................
    pls help

    solved by self,
    solution: delete temporary folders created during any activation of message-mapping in IR, in the classpath_resolver folder of XID HOME directory......
    solution is specific to file system/OS....

  • Files transferred to external HD end up in trash - very strange issue

    Hi,
    I seem to be having a very strange issue, hopefully somebody can help or has seen this before.
    Hardware: MacBook Air, Western Digital Passport external HD, 250gb, formatted NTFS.
    Software: OSX 10.7 Lion, Paragon (allows me to write to an NTFS formatted HD)
    Issue Summary: I copy something to the external HD; I empty trash; the file I copied is deleted from the external HD. It doesn't happen every time.
    I do also seem to have a persistent folder in trash called "WD Sync Data" that won't go away unless I re-delete it as it's also in the root of the drive. Not sure if this is related somehow.
    Recently I copied 3 video files inside a folder to the HD, then disconnected the HD. When I reconnected it a while later and noticed that inside the "WD Sync Data" folder in trash were the 3 files I'd copied. I then looked inside the same folder on the root of the drive and the files were there, instead of inside the folder that I'd copied to the drive, which had vanished. If I hadn't noticed and had emptied the trash, those files would've been deleted.
    It's definitely happened more than once; last time I actually deleted the files from my computer after copying, then emptied trash, and they were gone from the external HD also.
    I've only found one person who seemed to be experiencing a similar problem back in 2010. It sounds similar though it could've been user error: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/apple-notebooks/188224-weird-external-hard-driv e-trash-problem-help-please.html
    Has anyone experienced this or have any suggestions?

    Quick update: I ran a verify then a repair in Disk Utility as there were a couple of errors. Hopefully this has solved the issue, however it'd still be interesting to know if anyone's come across this before and what caused it?

  • Trying to do something very strange with layouts and painting components

    I'm trying to do something very strange with changing the layout of a container, then painting it to a bufferedImage and changing it back again so nothing has changed. However, I am unable to get the image i want of this container in a new layout. Consider it a preview function of the different layouts. Anyway. I've tried everything i know about swing and have come up empty. There is probably a better way to do what i am trying to do, i just don't know how.
    If someone could have a look perhaps and help me out i would be much appreciative.
    Here is a self contained small demo of my conundrum.

              frame.getContentPane().add(thingy, BorderLayout.CENTER);
              frame.getContentPane().add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
              frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    Looks like you didn't read the API for Container#doLayout().
    Causes this container to lay out its components. Most programs should not call this method directly, but should invoke the validate method instead.
    There's also a concurrency issue here in that the panel's components may be painted to the image before revalidation completes. And your GUI, like any Swing GUI, should be constructed and shown on the EDT.
    Try this for size -- it could be better, but I've made the minimum possible changes in your code:import java.awt.BorderLayout;

  • Can visit every website except one? Very strange a...

    This is a very strange problem, and one that has started today but is already driving me mad. I'm on BT Infinity Broadband, using a BT homehub, and have done for a while now... So far it's been fine until today.
    Every aspect of my internet connection is fine - I can get and send emails, use skype, and view websites through every browser...But all of a sudden I can't visit one particular website anymore? It just times out every single time and wont let me on. It's definitely not the website becuase all my colleagues can go on there, and if i turn off my wifi on my iphone I can get to it on 3G also, so the problem is definitely in the router or something to do with my settings here. I've tried on my Macbook on Chrome, Safari and Firefox, and also on my Powermac on the same three browsers. 
    It's vital that I get back online becuase as luck would have it, my job is updating the blog on this one site I can't access, so any help from anyone at all would be very much appreciated. Here's the site in question: www.4downdistribution.com/v3
    Cheers
    James

    it's unlikely that any settings have changed in the router  - have you tried deleting the cache/history/temp internet files and see if that help

  • Address Book entries have very strange appearance

    Since updating to Leopard, my Address Book entries have a very strange appearance. When I copy and paste them the info is correct, but in the Address Book right-hand window the name (first and last) appears like gobbledigook, as if it was a strange font that is almost like mathematical equations
    With my utmost thanks in advance (as ever) if anyone has the answer to this weird problem
    Kind Regards
    Bernard

    Thanks a million for taking the trouble to respond Ashka.
    I was only reminded of the problem when I opened a web page and saw a similar effect on a couple of lines as I had in my Address Book and having discovered your response, I followed your instructions and on scanning through my fonts, I also turned off "Helvetica Fractions" (as the gobbledigook looked as if it might be fractions). One of these actions seems to have done the trick.
    Whilst looking for a particular font a while back, I ended up downloading absolutely hundreds, but it wasn't until I foolishly installed them all that I realised what a mistake I had made, as Word wouldn't even open, as it couldn't cope with the number of fonts. So I had to keep deleting fonts until Word was happy and even now, I still have far too many fonts. I kid myself that I like having so much to choose from, but truth is I am never going to use 90 per cent of them. Moreover, having discovered this problem, I wonder if there are any others in there that are going to cause me problems in the future?
    Again, can't thank you enough for your trouble
    Best Regards
    Bernard

    I upgraded to mountain lion a week ago and now on startup of my macbook pro, microsoft excel and word start up automatically and then crash? very strange can anyone please help? I have checked the login items under users and groups and there is nothing.

    Are you using the Office for Mac 2011 version, as you need to do?  The Office for Mac 2004 is Not at all compatible with Mountain Lion, and the 2008 version has been noted to have some problems running with ML.
    Hope this helps

  • MacBook Pro - Battery behaving very strangely

    I have noticed there are already many threads on this, couldn't decide which one to post in so am starting a new one.
    I have a MBP 2.33 C2D 17" from late 2006. Last year I experienced the 'expanding battery' problem, my battery totally warped out of shape and was not working properly. After a fair bit of trouble with Apple France (who basically said, too bad, buy a new one), I eventually was able to go above their heads and get Apple to send me a free replacement. This seemed fair seeing as I had bought my MBP within the timeframe of an official battery recall published on the Apple site. The new battery worked absolutely fine, and is now still less than a year old.
    Recently though, it has started to behave very strangely. I hadn't made any connection that it could be to do with having upgraded to Snow Leopard, but in retrospect, after reading many of the threads here, it does seem likely that this is the case.. I recently did a big upgrade from Tiger to SL on this very machine, and it has been since then that I've had very erratic battery behaviour.
    My symptoms are similar to many I've read here: The remaining battery time (when not connected to AC) will jump from say 3 hours down to 15 mins very suddenly. Then sometimes it will jump back up again. Sometimes my battery health condition will say 'replace now', other times 'replace soon' or other times 'normal'. Also, sometimes the machine will just go to sleep with no warning, even when it had estimated more than an hour of battery time left.. upon reconnection to AC, suddenly it says 0%.
    I have always been careful to power cycle the battery properly, to let it run down regularly. Also since noticing this problem, the first thing I tried to do was recalibrate.. But I've tried twice now with no success. I let the machine run right down till it went to sleep, then left it on overnight, waiting for the power LED to stop flashing on the front of the machine.. But it wouldn't stop flashing even after being left off overnight. I have yet to try an SMC reset, will do that next.
    I realize my battery is not brand new, nor is my computer. However, this was a replacement battery I received less than a year ago. I'll put the battery stats below, but I'm not sure I believe them because I've been checking what is says a lot recently and sometimes it even shows a full charge capacity of a negative number! Something strange is going on here. I obviously don't expect full performance from a battery nearly a year old, but what it's doing here seems to be more than just a case of a battery getting old, especially having seen that many other users are having a similar set of symptoms after going to Snow Leopard.

    Manufacturer: SMP
    Device name: ASMB014

    Any suggestions appreciated..
    Cheers.

    I just got off a call with Apple support. The tech agreed that my symptoms were not normal, even for a battery with a cycle count over 300 like mine.. especially with the fact that the system profiler is showing bizarre info that makes no sense such as a full charge of a negative number. He said that basically the only thing I can try is to do an archive and reinstall of Snow Leopard, since it seems that the operating system is possibly corrupted. I don't think it's anything to do with the physics of the battery, it is more likely that the OS is not interacting properly with the battery, thus giving false and conflicting readings and information.. He seemed quite certain that it can't be a problem with Snow Leopard itself, seeing as all of the laptops in the Apple Support office were on SL and did not have this problem. So in his opinion, a corrupted OS was the most likely explanation. In any case, he said that batteries are only covered by a 90 day guarantee, so if it turns out that after a reinstall, my problem doesn't go away, then I'll have no choice but to buy a new battery because they won't cover it... This doesn't seem very fair to me because if it turns out that the OS has nothing to do with it, then it must be a faulty battery, because this kind of behaviour is certainly not what I'd call acceptable for a battery of less than a year old.
    Anyway, I'll perhaps try the archive and install process on the weekend and see what happens.

  • I have over 4000 songs in my Itunes library.  I have 25-30 playlists det up.  I just did a sync on my daugthers itouch and 85% of my playlists dissappeared.  i rebooted my pc....playlists are still not there.  very strange.  advice appreciated

    I have over 4000 songs in my Itunes library.  I have 25-30 playlists set up.  I just did a sync on my daugthers itouch and 85% of my playlists dissappeared.  i rebooted my pc....playlists are still not there. The songs are still in my library.   Very strange.  Any Advice appreciated

    Thanks, Michael.  Itunes Match is not enabled on my daughter's Itouch.  I have subscribed to it and have used the service to back up my song purchases.  I merely did a sync via USB (as normal) to her Itouch.  The sync wiped out 85% of the playlists that were on my home computer for the last seveal years.  I have updated her itouch multiple times - both before and after I had subscribed to iTunes Match.  After the last sync to her iTouch, the playlists just disappeared.   My home computer is the main device I use to manage my Itunes library and my playlists.  I am not sure what happened?
    BTW - how are you affiliated with Apple?  Are you?  I feel like I have explained the issue pretty clearly, but your responses seem to focus on her iTouch and not my computer, where the playlists are managed.  I want to know how to get the playlists back on my computer.
    Thanks for your help.  Rob

  • Very strange Popup - can't get rid of it

    I've been getting a very strange popup lately when I go to certain sites and I can't get rid of it. It's an advertising thing that thinks for some reason that I live in Oakland (which i don't but is nearby). I also noticed that on certain websites now autofill puts in Oakland and some sites say i am logging in from Oakland.
    The popup looks like an XP window but is messed up and the text hangs over the edge of the box. It bounces around in the middle of my screen and makes accessing anything under it impossible.
    I have cleared cookies, cache and history. I have pop block on. This happens in Safari and in Firefox. I can send a screen shot but can't seem to paste one here.
    If I have accidentally gotten some adware installed, how can I find and get rid of it???
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ed

    Thanks for the quick response. I pretty much always get it at this site:
    http://www.alluc.org/alluc/tv-shows.html?action=getviewcategory&category_uid=822
    A friend just tried the site too and said he gets the same popup but with an advert for Seattle (where he does live), so perhaps this isn't something installed on my computer after all... it is super annoying, though, so i'll give that program a try. do you have any other thoughts?

  • A very very strange issue on BlazeDS Deserializing

    Hi all,
    I run into a very very strange issue on BlazeDS Deserializing. Is there any hint or idea?  Thanks a lot!
    Scenario 1:
    Both the browser(firefox or IE) and the midtier (BlazeDS ,java) are on the same machine.
    Actual result:
    Everything works fine.  All the properties in the Flex Object could be mapped to the Java Class
    Scenario 2:
    The browser(firefox or IE) and the midtier (BlazeDS ,java) are on the different machine.
    Actual result:
    Sometimes it works fine.
    And most of the time it does not work fine. Only the data in List is mapped correctly. All the values of simple data type such as int are mapped to 0 .
    Let me simplify the problem.
    The objects of Class B is always stored in the ArrayCollection  assocItems of Class A
    Flex side:
    public class A {
    public var id: int;
    public var  name: String;
    public var assocItems: ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection();
    public class B {
    public var id: int;
    public var  assocItems : ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection();
    The id , name in Flex Class A and assocItems in Class B could be  deserialize to correct value .  But the id of Class B is always mapped to 0. This is not correct.
    The log level of BlazeDS is configured to Debug. From the log I can see that  each value is passed from Flex side to Java server side correctly.
    [BlazeDS][INFO] Channel endpoint my-amf received request.
    [BlazeDS][DEBUG] Deserializing AMF/HTTP request
    Version: 3
    (Message #0 targetURI=null, responseURI=/18)
    (Array #0)
    [0] = (Typed Object #0 'flex.messaging.messages.RemotingMessage')
    However, the Java object does not get the correct value of B.id.
    In conclusion,
    1. It’s an issue with only default types
    2. It does not occur every time
    3. It does not occur when the browser(firefox or IE) and the midtier (BlazeDS ,java) are on the same machine
    Have you ever run into the similar problems? And what’s your solution?

    I checked, when I hard-code the constant in linq, the generated sql is like this:
    SELECT "Extent1"."AA" AS "AA"
    FROM (SELECT "TBL"."AA" AS "AA"
    FROM "USERNAME"."TBL" "TBL") "Extent1"
    WHERE ('1062303212007000121' = "Extent1"."AA")
    if I pass a variable to the query with same value, the sql is like this:
    SELECT "Extent1"."AA" AS "AA"
    FROM (SELECT "TBL"."AA" AS "AA"
    FROM "USERNAME"."TBL" "TBL") "Extent1"
    WHERE ("Extent1"."AA" = '1062303212007000121' /* @p__linq__0 */) (@p__linq__0 is passed as parameter)
    The only difference is a paramter. I can't figure out why there is such a impact on performance.
