Xorg. Somethings Just not right...

Ok. So I spent about 2 hours trying to figure out why I couldn't "startx" after installing xorg and my ati drivers.  Now it seems I have a strange problem. I installed fluxbox (via pacman -Sy fluxbox fluxconf menumaker) and added "exec startfluxbox" to my ~/.xinitrc script. Fluxbox starts fine, but that about as far as it goes. I use the menu to open up gaim, which opens, only It looks quite weird. The title bar (that says Buddy List) is doubled (as in, there are 2 on top of each other), only the second one is only about a 1/4 the length (it just stops. This happens with every window I open. Thats not the only thing wrong though. At the bottom, where you can add and remove buddies etc, I just see a big Gaim icon with "Available" beside it. If I click it I can change my away status. However, it covers up everything else. What could be causing this?

No idea.
Suggest moving your existing xorg.conf somewhere, then creating a new one with xorgcfg -textmode and starting with vesa.
Assuming that works, change it to the driver for your specific card.
If not, presumably you are missing a required xorg module or your hardware is suspect.

  • DV6000 Vista Audio Problems (SOUND WORKS just not right)

    So audio through speakers, headphones work fine.

    can anyone help me out here if you know what I mean, ive been googling the last hour to no luck.

    The best advice I can give is to fully remove ALL Creative software.We've compiled a list of entries that will cause problems here. It's very important before installing newer files.http://nomoregoatsoup.wordpress.com/...tall-problems/Then install some better drivers and see if that cures your issues. The 2.2.0002 drivers are really, really awful, 99% of people I've spoken to had problems with them. I personally like 2.5.0002 Hope this helps.

    Updating Snow Leopard won't help.  You need to Upgrade OS X to Lion or higher if your system will support it.  First check to see if your system meets the system requirements to upgrade.
    Lion system requirements are:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    Mountain Lion and Mavericks requirements are the same, and are shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5842.
    If you can run Mavericks, you can download a free upgrade from the Mac App Store.  If your system can only run Lion, or you need Mountain Lion rather than Mavericks for software compatibility reasons, youcan contact the online store at the number shown at the bottom of this page and purchase a redemption code to download it from the Mac App Store.
    After upgrading, you will find iCloud in System Preferences>iCloud on your Mac, and can set it up as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
    Before upgrading, you should be aware that PPC programs such as AppleWorks will not run on Lion or above.  You may want to check the compatibility of your existing programs by checking here: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table.

  • The PDF file I just got from my PDF Pack subscription is not right -- why?

    I use Word on the Mac. When I save my document as PDF I get a file bloated file almost 1 Gig long. I subscribed to PDF Pack in the hope of getting a cleaner, shorter file. And it is  --  2.1MB  --  ta-dah? NO!! It does not have the formatting that I want, and that my MAC PDF file has when viewed with Adobe Reader. I have carefully formatted my file to get clean ragged margins and good text blocks. But the file I just got from the subscription service is 5 pages longer (which means my Index is wrong), many pages are laid out differently, and ligatures are not used(!). I don't know what other details are wrong, but what I got is unusable. Money down the drain.
    Perhaps a forum member has a suggestion.
    Why doesn't Adobe provide a simple way to contact an Acrobat expert?

    --| "Contact an Acrobat Expert"
    You can visit the Adobe Support "portal" page and find the click through to open a trouble ticket. To get the ball rolling you'll need to provide your credit card information. Rest assured you will get expert support at a rate that reflects it.
    Or, here or at Acrobatusers.com you can ask a question where knowledgeable / experienced Acrobat users can provide suggestions or perhaps an answer.
    RE: Your question. You are creating a PDF with the online service's heuristics. While adequate for the routinely used "business" cases of documents anything somewhat "custom" can be expected to have an output in the PDF that is not, perhaps, spot on.  As to an Index  -- that's just not going to survive what amounts to a "file conversion".
    Be well...

  • I have a VI and an attched .txt data file. Now I want to read the data from the .txt file and display it as an array in the front panel. But the result is not right. Any help?

    The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
    Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
    1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
    2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
    3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
    Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
    Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

  • TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for heading me in the right direction.  I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information).   I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)??  In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port:  465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer."  Authentication:  Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in.  After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there. 
    What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message:  "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.).  The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587.  Verify your account settings and try again."  That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails.  I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me.  Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input!  Much appreciated!

    How come although iPads are getting more powerful, the iOS apps from apple are so mediocre and just not that great? We spend all this money for the latest ipad and all we get is these $5 video and music apps from apple. Why create the iOS platform and only offer so so apps like IMovie and GarageBand ? While other developers are offering much better apps like pinnacle studio for video, Cubasis and Auria for music production, apple has not showed much growth in terms of innovation. While there's nothing wrong with making an app like GarageBand where "anyone " can make a song, how about something for real musicians or an app not so basic as it get for video editing? After spending 0ver $700 on an ipad I'd be willing to spend more than $5 for a better video or audio app.

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Install the latest update of Reader or Acrobat (done, no effect)
    Adobe releases free security updates quarterly. It is important to update your version of Reader or Acrobat to the latest release. The updates often include fixes to common problems. Download the latest free update:
    Note: Microsoft Windows 7 requires Adobe Reader 9.2 or later.
    1.      Open Reader or Acrobat.
    2.      Choose Help > Check for Updates. If a new update is available, it installs automatically.
    3.      Once installed, restart your computer.
    To the top<http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html>
    Refresh or reload the page (done, no effect)
    Often, just refreshing the page allows the PDF to load fully.
      Hold down the Shift key and press the    Refresh or    Reload button in the browser.
    Try to view a different PDF (done, no effect)
    Try viewing a different PDF. For example, see if this sample form<http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Samples/flatform.pdf> displays in your browser.(DOES NOT OPEN) If Acrobat or Reader can open the sample form, then the other PDF could be damaged or the web server could be having problems. If possible, contact the individual or company who manages the website.
    1.      Try to view a PDF on your hard drive .  (ALL PDFS OPEN ON HARD DRIVE)
    To the top<http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/cant-view-pdf-web.html>
    Problem with the browser or its settings?
    Use a different web browser  (Pdf'S open in alternate browsers)
    Certain conditions on your computer, such as security settings or browser cookies, can prevent you from viewing a PDF. Often, the fastest solution is to try to open the page using a different browser. Try any of the following browsers that you have not already tried:
    Mozilla Firefox<http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/>
    Microsoft Internet Explorer<http://www.microsoft.com/windows/internet-explorer/default.aspx>
    Apple Safari<http://www.apple.com/safari/download>
    For a list of compatible browsers for Reader and Acrobat X, see this list of Compatible web browsers<http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/compatible-web-browsers-pdfmaker-applications.html>.
    Switch to Compatibility View (Internet Explorer) (done, no effect)
    Some websites display better in the Compatibility View of Internet Explorer. The Compatibility View displays a page as if it was an earlier version of the browser. For instructions on how to switch to this view, see one of these documents on the Microsoft website:
    Internet Explorer 9: How to use Compatibility View in Internet Explorer 9<http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/How-to-use-Compatibility-View-in-Internet-Expl orer-9>
    Internet Explorer 8: Why are some web pages blank or incorrectly displayed in Internet Explorer<http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/webpages-look-incorrect-in-Internet-Explorer>.
    Restart your computer and try opening the PDF again (done, no effect)
    Restart your computer, then open the web page again. Restarting clears the computer memory and memory cache. It is surprising how often simply restarting your computer resolves a display issue.
    Delete temporary Internet files (Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Chrome) (done, no effect)
    Clear the browser cache (sometimes called 'temporary Internet files') to ensure that you are viewing a fresh version of the page. When you open a web page, the browser saves a temporary copy so that it opens more quickly next time. You want to force the browser to load the entire page directly from the server, rather than displaying a stored copy.
    Reset the Display PDF In Browser preference (done, no effect)
    1.      In Reader or Acrobat, right-click the document window, and select Page Display Preferences.
    2.      From the list at left, select Internet.
    3.      Deselect Display PDF In Browser, and then click OK.
    4.      Choose Edit > Preferences > Internet, select Display PDF In Browser, and then click OK.
    5.      Try to open the PDF again from the website.
    View PDF in 32-bit version of Internet Explorer or Safari (done, no effect)
    Acrobat and Reader are 32-bit applications on Windows. If you try to open a PDF in a 64-bit version of Internet Explorer, the PDF opens in stand-alone Acrobat or Reader, not in Internet Explorer.
    Remove DreamFactory (Firefox only) (done, no effect)
    If you receive the error "Cannot use Adobe Reader to view PDFs in your web browser," do the following:
    1.      Choose Start > Run, type appwiz.cpl in the Open text box, and then click OK to open the Add Or Remove Programs dialog box.
    2.      Select Change Or Remove Programs in the Add Or Remove Programs dialog box, select DreamFactory Runtime for Netscape, Mozilla and Firefox, and click Change/Remove.
    3.      Click OK in the Remove Programs From Your Computer dialog box.

    Problem with Reader or Acrobat?
    Remove unmatched or multiple versions of Reader or Acrobat  (already did this including running a cleaner from the Adobe site) (done, no effect)
    Repair Reader or Acrobat (done, no effect)
    Reader or Acrobat could be damaged. Repairing the installation is a quick troubleshooting safeguard.
    Repair from within Reader or Acrobat (done, no effect)
      (Reader) Choose Help > Repair Adobe Reader Installation.
      (Acrobat) Choose Help > Repair Acrobat Installation.
    Repair using Control Panel (Windows) (done, no effect)
    You can also repair your Acrobat or Reader installation using the Windows Control Panel.
    Enable the Adobe PDF browser add-on (Internet Explorer) (done, no effect)
    Make sure that the Adobe PDF browser add-on, AdobePDF.dll, is enabled.
    Run Acrobat or Reader in a new local administrator account (done, no effect)
    Optimize large PDF files (not the problem)
    If the PDF file is 4 MB or larger, ask the provider to optimize the PDF file. For information about optimizing PDF files, see
    Check the registry path for Acrobat or Reader (Windows) (done, no effect)

  • Why when I preordered the new Iphone was the tax estimated at plus minus $55 it sould have been about $18. I was told it was based on the full $649 value of the phone, but that's not right. Sales tax is on the purchase price.

    Why when I recently preordered the new $199 I phone was the sales tax estimated at +- $55? It should have been +- $18. The supervisor said the tax was on the $649 value, but that's not right as sales tax is charged on the sales amount. What is this charge for?

    Complain to your elected officials, they're the one's that write the tax code. I know that in CA and RI, sales tax is collected on the unbundled price(full) of not just the iPhone, but any cell phone.

  • ITunes sync to Z10 = not right working / mixed songs in wrong playlists

    Hi
    iam totally frustrated:
    I try several weeks since i have this great device, to sync my itunes music to z10.
    But on syncing thru BB Link, my playlists on z10 are totally mixed with the wrong music files.
    On itunes = all is fine sorted
    Transfered to Z10 = some music is not shown in their playlist or playlists are together in one.
    So syncing is not right working. Horrible
    Combination:
    iTunes + Mac
    Z10 with 64GB card -> fromatted inside Z10 (several times)
    So iam not able to get my music with right playlists to the Z10.
    whats wrong here?
    I never experienced with such problems on iPhone or Android based Phones.
    Blackberry! Please fix that!

    Hey uhscale,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    We are going to need to gather some BlackBerry Link logs to find out why the playlists are mismatching.  Please contact your network service provider and ask to be transferred to BlackBerry so we can investigate these logs.
    Thank you.
