IBM - For Notes 8.5, which clients are available in each install package?

IBM - For Notes 8.5, which clients are available in each install package?: "**If you want to launch Notes 8.5 in the Basic Configuration rather than Standard Configuration, create a shortcut on your desktop to point to nlnotes.exe in the Notes program directory. Or, simply launch nlnotes.exe . In addition, you can create a shortcut which executes notes.exe within the Notes program directory and add one of two command line switches, -sa or -basic. For example: C:\Program Files\Lotus\Notes\notes.exe -sa"

3.3. Fix for sound skips and other problems

Thank you to Michael Hamilton for submitting me the idea how it works.

The working of this Fix was confirmed by two People, so it looks like it works, but it may not work for everyone. Please feel free to submit further experiences!

Lets go: It looks like at least the sound skips are curable by maximizing the pci latency timer of the device.

First you have to find the "pci-address" of your Soundcard. This could be done with lspci. You have to look for something like "Multimedia audio controller" or "AudioPCI". Take the "pci-address" of the device (looks like something like that: 01:06.0 -> it stands for: bus:slot.function) and maximize the latency timer for it. This is done by setpci:

setpci -v -s "pci-address" latency_timer=ff

For additional Information on the Latency Timer you could look here.

Maybe this works also for other problems like USB-Problems and Harddisk-Transfer-Slowdowns, but this hasn't been tested for now. Feel free to test it (but don't blame me, if it doesn't work or makes everything worse) and report whether it works. The problem is, that i have none of this problems and so can't test this by myself.

If it works, you have to perform this setpci command at every startup/reboot of the Computer. So it would be wise to put it in one of the init-scripts (after the driver module is loaded!).

gOS Help & Support • View topic - Missing Wbar

So I ran into a problem with WBar and found this posting that solved it immediately. It really helped to explain what had happened.

You should have two .wbar files (not folders). The first should be in your home folder. the second will be found in /etc/skel.
(In order to see these files you will have to select [view hidden files] in both folders)

The one in /etc/skel is a copy of the original configuration. . You can copy and paste from /etc/skel to your home folder, which will restore all the original icons

Here are some common reasons why wbar disappears:

1. It is not enabled as a startup option in system preferences -> sessions
(If you need to build a launcher, the command is wbar_delay.sh)

2. The link to the background is broken, try picking another background in WbarConf
(look in /usr/share/wbarconf/wbarbacks)

3. I can't explain this one, but it happened to me....One of the links to an icon pointed nowhere. for some reason this one broken link to the icon caused the whole bar to vanish! When I picked a new icon for the application in WbarConf and hit [save] and [refresh] it all came back again....odd

4. I have a 'friend' who did this: :oops: tried to be clever and decided to delete the background so that the icons just floated on the desktop...What I, er I mean he, got was a perfectly unhindered view of the desktop!"

Missing Bookmark toolbar in Firefox 3

I encountered the issue described below recently and found that the instructions there immediately helped.

Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar is not showing bookmarks

I encountered a problem in Firefox after installing the Piclens extension. My Bookmarks toolbar was not showing my bookmarks anymore, just a blank toolbar. It was also not possible to add new bookmarks to it. A quick check of my bookmarks revealed that the Bookmarks Toolbar Folder was still there so it had to be a different problem.

I tried disabling and enabling the toolbar again which did not have a effect either. I knew that it was important that the so called Bookmark Toolbars icon was added to that toolbar. To check this you have to right-click the top toolbar and select customize from the list.

If there is no icon visible in the Bookmarks Toolbar you have to move it back in. The icon is called Bookmarks in the icons list there. Just drag and drop it into the Bookmarks Toolbar and the bookmarks should be visible again after finishing the customization. My bookmarks were there again which was exactly what I wanted to happen.

You should also make sure that the Bookmarks Toolbar is enabled in Firefox. You can check it by clicking on View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar.
