Palm TX Cradle Update

Posted in Computers on March 21st, 2008 by hurt – Be the first to comment

Browsing around on Palm’s website, I noticed a update for the Palm TX Accessory Cradle. Being an up to date kinda guy when it comes to these things, I downloaded and installed it.

The update was suppose to fix some issue with the Palm TX locking up after inserting it into the Accessory Cradle.

Interestingly enough after the patch was installed my Palm would lock up everytime I put it on the Accessory Cradle… Removing the update from the Palm device, seems to have put me back to a working Palm and Cradle… I would suggest to anyone with a Palm TX and the Cradle.. Don’t install this if it isn’t already broken. :)

Compiz, Gnome, and windows turning grey

Since switching back to ubuntu a while back I have been having a constant issue with some of the windows going grey and almost acting like they have lost focus. The program is still usable and functions as it normally would, except the whole app has a grey tint over it.

I was able to find someone else with the same issue that had taken a screen shot.

For the most part people seem to be having this issue with firefox, but I am having issues mostly with pan doing this.

After some hunting around I was able to find something that I believe has fixed it or at least made it happen less.

The post was over at the ubuntu forms here.

A quick break down is open gconf and change

apps > compiz > general > allscreens > options /ping_delay , and change the value to something higher.

I ended up setting mine to 6000.

Stone Temple Pilots – Glide

Torment the tortured, teach me things
Im so alive
Speak to the speechless
You have inside

You can hunt for the hunter
Hes got nowhere to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride

Keep it coming Im going all the way
Keep it coming Im going all the way
Just give me a half a chance
From throwing it all away

Run to the place that hides the pain
You have inside
Cover my chain it hides the strain
Only to glide

You can hunt for the hunter
Hes got nowhere to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride

Theres nowhere to turn, nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it.
Fly it on the run.
There is nowhere to turn to nowhere
There is nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it.
Fly it on the run.

Its too late, time is gone
Later on again cause no ones leaving
