Why does mesa appear to depend on nvidia?

I just did a reinstall, planning to switch to KDE... And now mesa depends on nvidia, and nvidia does not even install proberly. It seems that kdelibs depends on nvidia too... So all of the sudden, I can't use KDE, can't start any apps that use libGL, can't use a goddamned thing. And mesa's newfangled nvidia dependency isn't mentioned in the entry on the Arch main page either... What the fuck happened?!

1. This was on the first install of X11. Nvidia was a DEPENDENCY OF MESA, meaning that I HAD TO INSTALL IT.
2. Xorg was NOT running, since this was the first installation of Xorg, not an upgrade.
3. I do NOT use nvidia, and have no need for it.
4. A successful install of nvidia would probably break Xorg for me anyway, because nvidia uses its own version of libGL.
When posting, please read the original message. Thnx.

Why does border appear around embedded video?

Hello,
I have an embedded YouTube video in a page on my site. It was working fine for a while but I've just discovered that there is now a black edge showing on the left, right and bottom of the video? I created a white round cornered frame within Premier so that it's part of the video. I did this as the pgae it's embedded in is white so that when it plays back it appears seamless and with curved edges to match it's container. This worked fine for a week or so but now it has these black edges? Can anybody tell me why? You can see for yourself at www.glovesanddoves.com. Go to the fighters page and you'll see the video at the bottom. The video's width is a multiple of 16 and the ratio is 16:9 at 384px X 216px. The containg Divs are also set to these measurements.
I've attached a screenshot below:
Any help would be much appreciated.
Jack

It only seems to be affecting the page when viewed in Safari although it was working fine for over a week before today?

Why does "nobr" appear?

When I post a message and include both code and a link, I often get a [nobr] at the top, and [/nobr] at the bottom.
Adding this link:
Why does "nobr" appear?
trying a line of codeNow, note the "nobr" top and bottom. I did not put them there. It appears that if I mix ubb tags (with the [] brackets) and html tags (with the <> characters), the offending nobr shows up.
What is it?
And what can I do to prevent it?
Thanks in advance.

Just a test...
Adding this link:
Why does "nobr" appear?
trying a line of codeHmmmm... I see that if I use UBB tags for the link as in: [url=http...]Link title[/url], then the nobr goes away.
So now the question is... is there any place this stuff is documented?

Why does the 'cairo' package depend against 'mesa'?

I get why the 'cairo' package depends on 'libgl', but does anyone know why it depends on 'mesa', too?
As a nvidia user, I'd really prefer not to have to install all of 'mesa' (and everything that it depends on).
P.S.: Lacking a better place I'm posting here since this was triggered by the recent 'libgl' merge with 'mesa'.

I don't know, neither does anybody else...
I'm guessing that nvidia-utils/lib32-nvidia-utils needs to somehow provide something that stops us having to pull in all of the crud but it's a guess as even the devs don't seem to have worked it out.
I did read that thread but it didn't seem strictly relevant, though it does explain what mesa has to do with all this.
What I'm actually asking is why we are requiring mesa for cairo (which we are compiling ourselves), since it is seems to be optional [1]. For example, neither Debian nor Ubuntu seem to require mesa for cairo.

Why does ST03n appear to give conflicting stats?

Ok, so I'm looking at the month of May in ST03n
Workload Overview for the month says:
average % DB time is 61.6%,
average % Roll wait time is 14.1%
If I look at Time Profile and work out the averages manually for the same month
average % DB time is 57.92%
average % Roll wait time is 16.91%
More of a rhetorical question really but why does different areas of ST03n report the same thing differently?
Which is accurate? Which is correct?

When you put it like that, that makes sense!
Ok so for instance (just to make sure I'm understanding correctly!) if I take the top 100 transactions in terms of number of dialog steps and calculate the average response times for those transactions - is that a more accurate representation of actual response time vs the average response time given under Workload Overview?
Because for yesterday they're very different (Work.Over. 0.427 secs vs Trans,Pro. 0.974 secs)
I appreciate your time on this. thank you.

Why does it appear that photostream is using up space on my devices?

On all of my devices, when I look under the Usage>Photos it shows that there is space being taken up by photostream even though photostream is turned off on all devices and the pictures have been erased. Is it really using space on my device or does it appear that way?

How much is being used?

Why does external modules not depend on a specific kernel version ?

Hi,
I'm quite new to Archlinux and there are a few things I don't understand about the way pacman handles kernel and modules packages.
I understand that modules in the repository are only build against the current kernel version and that you should update both at the same time to keep your system in a working state, however I don't understand why the package system does not enforce that.
For example if I look at the current nvidia modules (100.14.19-3), it will install its stuff in lib/modules/2.6.23-ARCH and hence (should) depends on kernel26>=2.6.23.
However if I take a look at the package itself, it only depends on kernel26.
If I upgrade the modules without upgrading the kernel or upgrade the kernel without upgrading the modules, I will break my system.
In my opinion (but I may be missing something) the package manager should be robust and should make sure your system stay in a coherent state.
Is there a technical reason for this or is this only to avoid having to modify the packages dependencies each time a new kernel is release ?

Very interesting, I was right when I said I was probably missing something
As I said in my first post, I'm a new archlinux user. I'm more familiar with debian/ubuntu systems.
The way they are solving this kind of issue is simply by putting the kernel version number in the package name.
For example you have nvidia-kernel-2.6.23-1 which depends on linux-image-2.6.23-1.
This solves these kind of upgrade issues (I did a search in the forums before creating this thread and I saw there were a hell lot of kernel/modules dependency issues that have already been reported by other users).
The advantage of this system is that you can keep both the old and the new kernel package on your system at the same time are revert to the previous version if something goes wrong.
However the drawback is that you have to maintain several versions of the same package in the repository at the same time, which may be contrary to the archlinux philosophy...

Why does iCloud appear each time I close Mail?

Why is it that when I close out of Mail and go back into Mail, the iCloud inbox is the first to appear? So, basically each time I close the Mail program on my iPhone 6 Plus and go back to it, regardless if new mail has arrived in the other three accounts I have set up, I am in theiCloud account and have to press the back button at the top of the screen to go into the account where the mail has arrived. It's sort of annoying to have to go back to the account where the mail has arrived. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't think I understand your question...
I just received an e-mail(your reply), and Mail was totally closed. I pressed the Mail icon with the little 1 in the corner and instead of it going to list of accounts or the "mailboxes" screen, instead it went directly into my iCloud account. My friend's iPhone 6 goes directly into mailboxes when he presses the Mail button. Mine does not.

Why does photoshop appear blue?

So photoshop was installed on my computer by our tech department and every colour appears as various shades of blue. I have spoken to those who installed it and they don't know why it appears like this. Not sure if when it was installed there was some sort of mode put on or what caused this, but does anyone know how to solve this?

Looks like it is on the default settings. When I downloaded the free trial it worked and looked just fine.

Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
Which is your situation?

Why does exception appears

hello people!
i ve got a problem,
my task is to make a program that can be used in the libraries!
the main task is that i make a programm which will be an object-oriented database.
i have already made this (the object - oriented database program) and all i need is to make a UI for my programm which must show how does my database works for example in the library. (like a library program)
i have tested my database programm and it works!
it saves database and loads it, and it adds and deletes objects from it and it can make search, but when i tryed to add an UI to my program, exception appeared:
when i call
database datbs = new database();
Object[] result = datbs.search(Book.class, srch); // here exception occurs
// srch is an object which is used by database.search to filter the objects in the database
the exception is:

are you sure that the database object is created before you call the method?

Branching View - Why does it appear this way?

This is my first large project with Captivate 3 and I am
trying to create a storyboard. I need to show my manager/client the
branching view so they can follow along. What I created was a menu
page that allows the users to go to many different subjects in no
particular order. At he end of ech subject, I created a button that
sends the user back to a COPY of the menu so the user doesn't have
to hear a repeat of the audio every time the go back to the menu
page and select a new subject. The problem is in the branching
view....for some reason, the duplicate menu page appears at the end
of line "A" or after slide 13 instead of following slide 5 (menu
slide).
Any thoughts on how to move this? Or, does anyone have a
better idea than creating this copied slide?
Thanks.

I have not tested it lately but as of the time of this Nugget I found that it will point to the top left visable array element.
The ArrayElem property always returns the same reference no matter which element of the array is in the top-left corner, as demonstrated by the code below (screenshot instead of snippet to avoid mangled references and property nodes).
Yes that is true but the value returned when using a property node >>> value will return the top left displayed value. In the code included in that Nugget, I set the size of the control such that it only shows a single element then by manipulating the index control I can raed each element in the array.
At least that is how it behaved back in the day of that nugget.
Yes, my wife left me home alone with a case of beer and LV to find that tidbit. I suspect that feature will one day disapear without anyone noticing.
