Wmii, or other tiling wm, with a system tray

I really like the way wmii does tiling (minimal but functional window decorations, and the columnar layout), but I have recently sorely felt the lack of a system tray. I installed trayer and it works fine, I like it in the abstract, but it has some obvious problems with wmii. For one thing, it doesn't stick around when switching tags, and for another, it doesn't play well with wmii's own status bar or with tiled windows.
So, is there anyone else who has tried this, and what was your solution? Is there another tray that behaves, or another tiling window manager that plays nice? I have heard that it's possible to add a margin where tiled windows will not be placed, but only in passing and no details specific to wmii.
My ideal desktop would be more or less exactly like wmii's default setup, with a few extra keybindings, etc. and a system tray in the bar. While I'm willing to accept the fact that nothing like this yet exists, I'm sure it could be closely emulated (perhaps with a separate panel). In the meantime I'm using awesome, but I don't like any of the default window layouts or the lack of decorations on the windows (the list in the bar doesn't cut it).
I'd like to hear any suggestions the Arch community has to offer, whether for configs or window managers (or both).

Getting other than explorer with old system

I was given my first mac by a friend - osx1.0 I can't seem to get anywhere running explorer. What would be better and how do I get it?

Here is a list of available Browsers for Mac.

Track down the culprit that resets the system tray customization in Windows 7

The question is duplicated from http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/track-down-the-culprit-that-resets-the-system-tray/7cff4c95-4d08-4a7f-b29d-ce67d8cd6247 as suggested by a support engineer.
Hi Almighty All,
For a while I'm experiencing problems with my system tray. Something regularly resets my customization, i.e. after reboot sometimes all icons that I marked as to show always are hidden again. I found out that the reason is that something erases HCU\Software\Classes\Local
Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify.
I decided to find out what is responsible. I turned on auidt policy for objects, then I setup audit for HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out
that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone! So I thought maybe something just removed the whole key altogether with the audit settings on the
way.
My next attempt was to set audit on HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software and just let Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify inherit it. The next time the icons customization was reset I found out that HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\TrayNotify
was cleared again and on top of that the audit settings were gone again! Something removed the whole HCU\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software?
The Event Log points out to one of the svchost.exe processes, which is just a container for the whole bunch of different services.
Any idea how to find out what service is responsible?

Hi,
Interesting issue, what about other configuration or settings? Do they work fine or keep reverting after a reboot? Have you tested this issue in another user account? What is the result?
Regarding to unable to save settigs for current user hive, I doubt whether there's an application you installed recently or an malware\virus changes the permission of registry entry or value of registry keys like
HKCU\Software\Classes which causes this issue.
Yolanda Zhu

Hmm... I don't understand. Nothing is reverting after a reboot, as well I'm
not unable to save settings in the current user's hive. The correspondent registry keys can be saved perfectly fine and they are
deleted, not reverted after a reboot. I pointed to the exact code that does it, the code is located in Microsoft DLL with all certificates and digital signatures intact. Permissions obviously don't matter, since svchost.exe is executed with the highest
integrity level and under the System user account, the keys in question inherit permissions, which allow System to do whatever it needs without restrictions
by default, you can't change it to allow more.
So can you explain how it can be some malware?
The issue is intermittent, I don't have a 100% repro, therefore “testing” under another user account is doubtful.

Does anyone knows a way to work with various Pages documents at the same time, for example with a system of tabs to switch directly from one document to the other?

Hello everyone,
Working with numerous Apple Pages documents at the same time, I am looking for an efficient solution to switch faster from one document to the other. Integrating all them in a single framework, for exemple by switching from one to the other with a system of tabs would be of great help. Does anyone knows if such a possibility exists?
Thanks in advance,
Jean-Baptiste

Thanks. It works and is very efficient. Not as much as a real system of tabs, but is allows to switch very fast between different documents. Only regret I would have is that it doesn't work with a document which is on full page mode. But that's already very helpful!
You're very welcome but Peggy really gave you the answer already.
With regard to the full screen apps, I don't think Apple have yet worked out how to make them elegantly coexist with other apps. The closest you can get is the four finger swipe gestures you may use on a trackpad if you have one (Mission Control and App Exposé).
In fact nowadays I use the App Exposé (four finger swipe down gesture) more often than I use Command-Accent to move between documents in the same app (when not in full screen). It also as the advantage of showing you thumbnails of recently opened documents below the ones already open within the app. If you haven't tried it, I suggest you give it a whirl.
I can't remember now but I think the four finger gestures are not enabled by default and you must switch them on in System Preferences > Trackpad > More Gestures.

Filter problem with operating system in french

Hello,
There is a problem with the "Operating System - Windows" filter in the french version of ZCC.
If you create a bundle and go into "Requirements" and add a filter with Operating system and you set it to "Version 6.1 - Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2" you get this error
"Vos modifications ne peuvent pas tre appliques pour les raisons suivantes :
ErreurLa version doit tre sous la forme "x" "x.x.x.x". "
"You changes cannot be applied for the following reason : formatting must be x to x.x.x.x"
The format should be "6.1 - Windows 7 /Windows Server 2008 R2 Versions".
The filter does work as intended with the english versions of ZCC. I have no problem with that but some of our admin does.
PS : I am currently unable to open an SR because our licence has not been renewed yet. So i am reporting this here.
Thank you!

On Linux:
Go to
/opt/novell/zenworks/resources/properties\com/novell/zenworks/core/web/internal/resources/CoreInternal_fr.proeprties
2.change the property value of windows.versions.6.1 from "Versions 6.1 Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2" to "6.1 Versions Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008R2"
3.Then Restart the server. The issue will be gone.
By the way you will see this bug reappear with every new update of ZENworks including new service packs and monthly updates. So keep this workaround at hand just in case.
Hope it helps!
GuillaumeBDEB
In 11.3 the value seems to be:
windows.versions.6.1=Versions 6.1 - Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2
But should probably be set to:
windows.versions.6.1=6.1 - Versions Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 R2
And the correct Linux path would be: /opt/novell/zenworks/resources/properties/com/novell/zenworks/core/web/internal/resources/CoreInternal_fr.properties.
This bug would probably take them a minute or two to fix, sad to hear that it's been there since 11.

Firefox 4 is apparently not compatibile with MacOS 10.5.8 PPC since after downloading and trying to open a pop-up says it is not compatible with my system. This version is probably for MacOS 10.5 Intel users. Unless there's another reason?

When Firefox 4 was proposed, I immediately checked the system requirements for Mac user:
"MacOS 5
MacOS 6"
So I downloaded it, since my OS is 10.5.8 (PPC), I thought I was fine. When downloaded, the Firefox icon showed a Stop sign in the middle: maybe a new logo? But when trying to open it, a window popped up saying this version was not compatible with my system. Therefore, using Time Machine, I reverted back to Firefox 3.6.16.
If this is the case, you should absolutely warn '''PPC''' users not to download Firefox 4. Your version is probably for '''Intel''' versions.
Unless you come up with a fix, I won't be able to use Firefox 4 until I change computers, having updated my system to the last possible upgrade.

Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac. There is a third party version of Firefox 4 that runs on OS X 10.4/10.5 and PPC Macs, for details see http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
If you prefer, you can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

How do I get a cd out of my imac with no system?

I have an iMac Mid 2007 with no system on it. I put in a Snow Leopard OS disk and booted from that in order to instal the system. The install failed three times with the message that certain support files couldn't be copied. I had verified and repaired the disk a couple of times while trying to do this install.
So I thought that I'd buy a Lion disk and install Lion that way. However, the Snow Leopard disk is still in the machine. Is there any way I can get that disk out of the machine without having to take the machine to be repaired? When I boot from the disk, I didn't notice anything in the menus for ejecting and there's no disk icon at that stage to drag to the trash -- there's no trash.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Oh, that's where I got the $69 from. I didn't realise it was a usb stick. Well that would solve the problem.
I can't remember where I got the Leopard disk, it's been a while. And I know this really sounds stupid, but I can't tell whether the disk is gray or white :-)
Since I last wrote, I came across this:
About Lion Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0
Built right into OS X Lion, Lion Recovery lets you repair disks or reinstall OS X Lion without the need for a physical disc.
"The Lion Recovery Disk Assistant lets you create Lion Recovery on an external drive that has all of the same capabilities as the built-in Lion Recovery: reinstall Lion, repair the disk using Disk Utility, restore from a Time Machine backup, or browse the web with Safari.
Note: In order to create an external Lion Recovery using the Lion Recovery Assistant, the Mac must have an existing Recovery HD.
To create an external Lion Recovery, download the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant application. Insert an external drive, launch the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant, select the drive where you would like to install, and follow the on screen instructions.
When the Lion Recovery Disk Assistant completes, the new partition will not be visible in the Finder or Disk Utility. To access Lion Recovery, reboot the computer while holding the Option key. Select Recovery HD from the Startup Manager. "
Since I have another iMac running Lion which has the recovery HD on it, do you think that I could create Lion Recovery on an external drive on that machine and then then boot to that external drive from the systemless machine and install from the external to the systemless machine?
Thanks.

Create a new user for oracle 10G ASM instance with sysdba system privilege

Hi,
In our Golden Gate Project, we require the SYS user credential to connect to the Oracle 10g ASM instance to read the database transaction logs.But our client is not providing the SYS user credential to connnect to ASM instance.
I'm getting the error message "ORA-01109: database not open",When I tried to create a new user using the below the steps in oracle 10g ASM instance
1. Login using "sqlplus / as sysdba"
2. Create user <username> identified by <password>;
But in oracle 11g ASM instance, I'm able to create new user by connecting the ASM instance with SYSASM role without issues.
Is there is any workaround to create a new user with sysdba system privilege in oracle 10g ASM instance?.
Thanks in advance .

Hi,
Recreate the password file for the ASM instance as follows:
Unix:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/dbs/PWD<SID> password=<sys_password>
Windows:
orapwd file=<ORACLE_HOME>/database/PWD<SID>.ora password=<sys_password>
Now sys password is reset, we are ready to use sys for ASM management. I decided to create another user ASMDBA as I tried above.
SQL> create user ASMDBA identified by test01;
User created.
SQL> grant SYSASM, SYSOPER to ASMDBA;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> select * from v$pwfile_users;
USERNAME SYSDBA SYSOPE SYSASM
SYS TRUE TRUE TRUE
ASMDBA FALSE TRUE TRUE
Please see this link : http://orachat.com/how-to-change-asm-sys-password-creating-sysasm-user-11g/
Thank you

Can no longer logon to EM DBA-Studio 8.1.7. with user SYSTEM

Hello
my 8.1.7 Enterprise Edition Database shows some "strange bahavior". I can no longer logon to Enterprise Manager Console with user system. (Message: This Application needs more privileges...) But the user system still has the same system privileges as before when it worked fine. So what could have gone wrong?
The logon with user sys as sysdba still works.
I can still logon with any user in SQL Worksheet and SQL Plus for instance.
I have checked for any data loss......but all data still seems to be available. I checked for it with desc and select commands.
BUT.....I can no longer post a "select * from cat"
(Message: Table or view does not exist !)
The database is in archivelog mode in case a recovery is necessary.
Before the "crash" a normal user schema dump was exported without any problem. But that shouldn't have triggered off the problem!?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you very much for any hint.
Stefan
PS: My user SYSTEM already has the DBA and the SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE but still is no longer able to logon in DBA-Studio!
I assume it is a more serious problem since none of my users can still perform a "select * from cat" which should always be possible!

Stopping the jrew process is what i do anyway, but that doesn't seem to be e very elegant way of working with DBA Studio. What is the reason for this behavior?
Thanks to anyone who can give me a clue

If you upgraded to Snow Leopard, then it would seem that Suitcase 11 is not compatible with Snow Leopard and you'd need to buy Suitcase Fusion 3 for $99.95.

Schedule a report with the system date imbeded in the file name

Hello,
Could anyone tell me how I can schedule a crystal report with the system date imbedded in the file name (FileNameYYYYMMDD) through BOE? When I scheduled the report through BOE, I gave a file name and selected Attach Date Time, but the file name is coming out slightly differently and with the time imbedded as well (FileNameYYYY-MM-DD-HH-MN I think). Is there a way to change the default system date time format in BOE so that the date stamp comes out the way we want it?
Thanks!

%SI_STARTTIME% will add the time the report ran too.
Adding onlt the date will necessarily have to be done via the appropriate SDK.
