Drupal 6 Menus don't work for me

I have a new drupal site and I've tried to configure drop-down menus in
the <primary-links> area. I can only see the top-level menus, whether
I'm an administrator or a mere visitor.

I've googled, watched videos and stuffed around for over a day.

The vid at <a href="http://js.id.au/DrupalMenusProblem.ogv" title="http://js.id.au/DrupalMenusProblem.ogv">http://js.id.au/DrupalMenusProblem.ogv</a> shows what I have and
how well it works.

It's an OGG video, Linux users should have no problems. Windows users,
say here whether you can see them.

The vid's about 2.7 Mbytes and runs for a whisker short of a minute. Any
ideas?

Multiline mode in regexp by default

When using regexp there can be a vulnerability:

Probably it happens because multiline mode in regexp is default, but this is wrong. Need use 'm' modificator to use this mode.

libglew1.5

Would it be possible to transition avogadro, calligra, and kalzium to

glew 1.7 without debian/control changes.

Locking or Something Else?

I have a situation where an increase in volume of inserts into the
main transaction table causes a huge slowdown. The table has lots of
indexes and foreign keys and a trigger.

Clearly, something is causing a resource contention issue, but here's
my main question:

I have log_lock_waits = on and deadlock_timeout = 250ms.

GPS not locking

I find my N 900 has suddenly developed this problem of not locking GPS.

Tried running maemo mapper as well as modrana.

Left it outdoors overnight (for hours) with internet ON. Still it didn't

Changed the location server from supl.nokia.com to supl.google.com. Didn't
help.

Only thing that changed on the device in recent days was receiving a
couple of updates of modrana.

Printer Problem

Howdy folks;

Ok, running 10.04 with a relatively new, "HP Officejet
6500A Plus." I'm trying to print out a huge-mongous
file. For the curious, its the, "StdLib Reference
Manual", for the HLA Assembler. The stack of paper is
allready well over 4 inches tall. I can handle it when
it runs out of paper, as the printer is rather well
behaved about pausing for that. Whats getting my goat
is when the cartridge starts running out of ink, its
rather difficult to be right on top of it, as it very
slowly fades out to finally blank pages.

suggestion for backup

Hi,
In day to day work I need to dump objects of only specific types like
functions, types, view etc from a schema. I know that it will be better to
use separate schemas for similar tasks and already using it. This problem
arises when I have to issue an update script to the client having only
function mostly. And as most of the functions are dependent on others and
having more than 1100 functions it becomes hard to write a list of objects
for pg_dump.
So I suggest to provide a feature in pg_dump/pg_dumpall to backup only
specific type of objects like tables, functions etc.

Sounds like something you could help with? Email <a href="mailto:akademy- ... at kde dot org">akademy- ... at kde dot org</a>

Nepomonk freezing browser

I did my usual hard drive replacement and virgin install of Kubuntu from a CD shortly after it was released. Since then, I've been mostly happy with it.

The one problem that has bugged me is the fact that Nepomuk spends a lot of time indexing and when it does, I can see the CPU usage on my four-core AMD running at 60% to 100% and when I try to browse to a new page in Firefox, it sometimes take ten minutes or more.

If I pause indexing, everything appears to work properly.

Add a keyboard, loose Sticky Keys

I often switch between two keyboards on my desktop computer: a regular
mechanical keyboard that always stays connected, and a low-force split
keyboard that I disconnect when not in use. Both are attached via USB,
the always-connected one on a non-powered hug along with the mouse,
and the sometimes-connected one directly to the USB port on the
motherboard.

Whenever I connect the secondary keyboard, my Sticky Keys feature
stops working. I have to open System Settings, disable Sticky Keys,
click Apply, reenable Sticky Keys, then click OK. Why might this be
happening, and how might I prevent it?

KAddressbook Spawning Tags

I am using a stock standard Kubuntu set-up (precise). My KAddressbook hold
about 800 contacts. The problem is that it is spawning hundreds and hundreds
of empty tags and tags in this format:

nemopuk:/res/ (some alphanumeric string)

To add a tag to a new contact takes 20 seconds for the dialog to open and to
delete just one of them takes at least 15 seconds.

Now I also find that although I delete a tag assigned to a contact, that
contact still shows up in searches using the previously assigned tag althoug
nothing shows on the screen.

Upgrade to 12.04 really slow

Hi,

I have a fast internet connection (25Mbps down, 7 up) and it
says it will take days to complete the upgrade to 12.04. So I
downloaded the alternate install CD and tried to upgrade from the
CD without using internet by using cdromupgrade and telling it to
not get updates from the internet and it still said it was going to
take more than a day ...and it seemed to be trying to download
packages from the internet at ~10 KB/sec even though I had the
iso loopback mounted and told it not to use the internet. My
upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 took a few hours.

The page is a custom search page created by the apachesolr module.

The checkboxes are used to select terms, which are written to ctools_object_cache using #ajax in the form when selected.

Re: Installing ”templates”

When I read the questions on using Create documents when you right click I started playing with it on my system. No matter what I did it didn't work. Than I found a solution on line. I had to edit

Once I fixed the line

XDG_TEMPLATES_DIR="$HOME/"
with

The create document feature worked great.
Maybe this will solve your problem. It is a rather nice feature, once I figured out how to make it work.

Improving the release notes for 12.10

Hi,
With UDS just last week, why am I starting a note off about the
release notes for 12.10 you ask? ;) Because this is the time we're
all putting together our blueprints, and the best opportunity to get
some standardized formats in place, so we can get a bit smarter about
generating our release notes for this upcoming cycle. :D

Historically the release notes are pulled together manually as we
go through the cycle. This tends to involve a lot of last minute
reminders and a bit of a scramble to get the editing and summarizing
done.

ISCSI boot

I have some servers that can boot from iscsi so I thought I would give it a

partition and in doing so I can see lots of iscsi traffic through the use
of tcpdump on the iscsi target server, but when I try to install to it,
there is very little traffic, a couple small packets every 5 seconds or so
and the install has been sitting at 33% for over an hour.

for several weeks, then suddenly decide to hang indefinitely and never
finish. It needs to be killed manually after several hours (I've
intentionally let it run to see if it would ever finish) in order for it
to die.

The fix _seems to be_ to drop and rebuild the index on

seconds and has no problem again for weeks....

Broken deps for x86_64

..::Maildir question::..

Hi Everyone.

I have a question.

We have a postfix server, it works great. All the users on that postfix
are added without home directory, we need to change the mbox default to
maildir in order to have dovecot working with IMAP.

We just changed the home_mailbox = Mailbox command to home_mailbox =
Maildir/. The problem is that postfix is trying to use the home
directory of those users to store the mail directory. The question is:

Is there some way to change the mail directory of every user to
/var/spool/mail/user/ ??

Log: Untranslatable character: no DETAIL

When logging long queries we get a DETAIL record with the query parameters,

error on contextual filters

In drupal 7, I'm trying to create a very simple view with a contextual filter using a node reference field. When I try to select 'apply', I get the error: An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator.

This happens without any options selected like: When filter value is not in the URL. If I select "remove" it does not remove the contextual filter. I've tried the same on several different views.

6.2 minimal install NIC driver issue

I tried to upgrade one user's system, a Dell Optiplex GX620, and yum got a
GPF. After *much* grief, I finally gave up, and rebuilt the system.

Or, rather, I'm trying to. First problem: I did a minimal install from the
graphical installer - I don't know if that's relevant - but when it boots,
it does *not* install the NIC driver, tg3, on boot.

Module names

I haven't found a restriction in the documentation, but it seems that a 46 character module name doesn't work in 6.26. Is that right?

Apport API users: Watch your data types / Python 3 porting

Hello Ubuntu developers,

I just uploaded Apport 2.1 to Quantal. A big change in that version is
that the whole code now works with both Python 2 and 3, except for the
launchpadlib crash database backend (as we do not yet have a
python3-launchpadlib package).

I took some care that apport report objects get along with both
strings ("unicode" type in Python 2) and byte arrays ("str" type in
Python 2) in values, so most package hooks should still work.

New to Ruby Need a little help from the pros.

So I've been up reading all night, my eyes are aching.. I've got Hello
World! down pretty good, and I can make it repeat a few times.. lol No
biggie there though, I've done that in C++ before. However Ruby makes me
feel like I can actually do this programming stuff.. If I just knew what
the different functions did.

I've got an idea for a ¿script? I want written, but I'm not quite sure
how to get it done. I can't seem to find a solid list of all the
¿functions? I'll need to be using, so I just keep guessing.

msp430mcu: To -devel or not to -devel

Hi,

I'm working on bringing the msp430 cross-compilation toolchain
up-to-date. About a year ago, the mspgcc project made a big jump
forwards and this has changed some things about how the project works.

There's a C library for the msp430 micro-controllers called msp430-libc.
This used to contain all of the headers (and linker scripts, I think)
for the various msp430s that one might want to compile for.

Deleting "kdepalettes" from kdesdk

Hi,

Mosfet once put palettes "for both the Gimp and Xpaint that match the KDE
standard color palette" into kdesdk/kdepalettes *. But that was at KDE3
times, so these palettes are outdated, not Oxygen-like.

Strange behaviour Kontact

Hi all,

On a fresh 64-bit install of 12.04 (4.8.3) from time to time I have a bit of a
strange behavious of Kontact while sending emails.

When pressing the 'Send' button of a new email, the message concerned is
greyed and stays on screen.

Kontact continues to work (i.e. does not stuck completely), but I cannot open
messages, nor delete or move. When this happens, when clicking on message I
have the screen saying 'Retrieving message', or something alike.

Restart of Kontact and Akonadi does not help in these situations. Only re-
login.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Broken deps for x86_64

Total size of Fedora source

Does anyone have an estimate for the total size of the checked out and
"prepped" source code (w/o binaries) in Fedora (eg. in F17)?

The reason is that I want to check out all the source for an
experiment, and I need to know what order of disk space I will need [:-)]

Why is after-queue content filter executing before-queue?

Hi everyone,

I am having a problem trying to run dspam as an _after-queue_ content
filter on postfix with the
restriction that sasl authenticated users bypass dspam. All my users and
domains are virtual.

When I first installed postfix/dspam/dovecot I did not worry about
excluding my authenticating
users from dspam filtering, with the result that all mail was tagged by
dspam which ran as an
after-queue content filter.

Then I decided to bypass the dspam filter if the connection was
authenticated,
i.e. a user with a virtual account on the server.

Windows Meeting in Osnabrück

Hi everybody,

our last KDE Windows meeting was already quite some time ago and so we
are planning to meet once again.

<a href="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Meetings/Osnabr%C3%BCck_Meeting_Summer_2012" title="http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Meetings/Osnabr%C3%BCck_Meeting_Summer_2012">http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KDE_on_Windows/Meetings/Osnabr%C3%BCck_...</a>

We would really like to invite especially those that do work on
packaging KDE applications outside of the kdewin-installer but of course
everybody interested can come around ;-)

regards,
Patrick

Hard disk partitions corrupted(not booting) after kernel update.Ubuntu 11.10.

I am unable to boot several Operative systems on several HDD partitions after an update of kernel on Ubuntu 11.10.I check with fsck and the filesystems are OK(I can copy files,list files etc.)so,the problem is related to booting.I tried TestDisk but the problem is not at that level.Some of the OSs when booting give me warnings like this one:

udevd[102]:timeout: killing "/sbin/blkid -o dev -p /dev/sdb9" [311]
...

udev[102}: "/sbin/blkid -o dev -p /dev/sdb9" [311] terminated by signal 9(Killed)

CentOS 6.0 - 2.6.32-220.13.1.el6.x86_64
PostgreSQL version: 8.4.11

Primarily checked on PG 8.4.9 (same OS), problem also occurs. Few times a
day I get a situation where PostgreSQL stops running for 1-2 minutes. CPU is
running 99% in systime. IO is OK, only interrupts are extremely high (over
100k up to 400K).

How to check for server availability? [v9.3.1, Linux]

Hi all.
I'd need to check from a C language program whether the server is
running or not.
I was planning to use either "PGPing PQping(const char *conninfo)" or
"ConnStatusType PQstatus(const PGconn *conn)".
I have my program running and checking from time to time whether the
connection is kicking and alive.
In order to test the things I've done the following: while the program
is waiting for input I simply restart the postgresql server.
The issue is thayt both functions return PQPING_OK and CONNECTION_OK
respectively.
When I forward the request, I get an error: "FATAL: terminating
connection

Unqualified relayhost seems to try IPv6 only

I'm heavily afraid this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find anything.

Short form: My impression is that not fully qualifying the value of relaylhost causes Postfix to only look up AAAA records for it.

Long form:
I'm on NetBSD 6.0_BETA/amd64 with the supplied Postfix 2.8.8.
Basically I have the default configuration but myorigin=$mydomain and relayhost=smtp (I also have two masquerade options, full postconf -n at the end).
Apperantly, Postfix only tries to look up an IPv6 address for "smtp": I get
Host or domain name not found.

One schema per different databases

Good day.

Continuing the subject about DB cluster based on plproxy - a question for
developers:

Is it possible to manage schema visibility from one database for different
databases, at least in the read-only mode ? For example as schema
pg_catalog.
Or is it possible to create FDW on the "shared memory level" for solving
this task ?
Method of solution based on the external connection via FDW/dblink is not
suitable for high traffic projects.

Methods as arguments?

Hi, I was experimenting with the arguments of the methods and I have a
question:

As I can pass a method as an argument to another method?, For example:

def world
print 'world!'
end

def aaa (string, method)
print string
end

aaa ('hello', world)

When I invoke aaa, the method world should not be invoked because I'm
just passing it as argument and and neither I invoke this in the method
aaa, and yet it invokes!. Why is this?.

I welcome your support!. Sorry for bad english :)

Review Request: Do not restore previously empty location bar URL

Review request for KDE Base Apps and David Faure.

Description
The attached patch fixes the issue reported in the aforementioned bug report. Specifically, it stops Konqueror from restoring the location bar to the previous URL if

a.) It was empty as in a newly created tab.
b.) The user typed in a new URL that cannot be handled by Konqueror.

reading from and writing to a Unicode encoded file

Hi,

I made a script to read from a Unicode encoded file and also to write
something back. The problem is that the stuff that gets written back is
turned into jibberish.

Is there any way of solving this other than manually changing the coding
of the file to UTF-8?

thank you

oVirt on CentOS 6

Hi

Are there any future plans for CentOS to build and directly provide oVirt
packages compatible with CentOS 6?
If not, has anyone tried the packages available at
<a href="http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/" title="http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/">http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/</a> and would these be considered fit for a
CentOS-based oVirt production setup?

I've heard many great things about oVirt. However I would prefer to use a
CentOS-based solution in a production environment rather than Fedora.

Thanks in advance.

Simple content filter

-o content_filter=filter:dummy

The "-o content_filter" line causes Postfix to add one content filter
request record to each incoming mail message, with content
"filter:dummy".

Looking to contribute

Good Evening,
I've been lurking as a Kubuntu user since 5.04 first hit, and I'm
interested in getting involved and contributing back. Looking for any
areas where I may be able to help.

I'm a SysAdmin/NetAdmin by trade, also do some development (Python,
Ruby, and even .NET). I'm willing to learn packaging or anything else.
I've followed the packaging guide, and I think I have everything set
up, including pbuilder setup for Precise, Oneiric, Natty and Lucid.

I also try to lurk in IRC and help out when I have time (I'm jaysonr
on Freenode).

ATT: List OWNER/MODERATOR

List is broken, in many ways.

Amongst many of its failures, the two current biggest is:

1/ This lists bounce messages are clueless they do not include the
reject reason

2/ mysql-owner address STILL points to a sun address which of course is
rejected as they no longer host this list.

cascade replication and multiple primary_conninfo

Hi,

just wondering if PG 9.2 can accept
multiple primary_conninfo on slaves standby servers.

if I understood we can now replicate from slave to slave, tha'ts great,
but with only one primary_conninfo so one upstream server,
is it not a point of failure in case of the slave upstream down ?

sorry for my ignorance, but is a db like pg can work like bittorrent,
take bits wherever it's possible so set multiple primary_conninfo, "secondary_conninfo" etc... ?

Thanks
