Leaving this here for the inevitable computer change someday.  Getting a Plantronics Savi 7xx-M working with Linux.

Section "InputClass"
        Identifier  "Plantronics"
        MatchVendor "Plantronics"
        Option      "Ignore" "true"
EndSection

Ok, this just cost me a few hours.  It’s not as described, the only way that works for me is:


actionBar.addTab(tab0, false);
actionBar.addTab(tab1, false);
actionBar.addTab(tab2, true);


The index thing is a lie, it’s order that seems to matter. I’m not sure if it’s a bug, outdated documentation, or something I’m doing wrong, but this works for me.

Given that I use a lot of knock-off Chinese batteries and have tweaked a lot of things, I thought the wildly inaccurate battery readings I was getting on my Atrix probably wouldn’t get fixed.  Rebooting was a temporary fix, and I’d often get back 60-80% battery by restarting after going down to 15% in just a few hours, only to have to reboot again.  xda-developers, as always, to the rescue.  Completely fixed my problem, all hail open source and the community.  Motorola Atrix battery level fix.

Six gigs later I find that 32bit ubuntu has no himem support and have to upgrade.

I run the antique nvidia-173 driver because one of the two video cards is a 5200.  My problem after install was a string of errors (EE) No devices detected errors which, as it does, drove me to xorg.conf.  What I realised was that the nvidia-settings thingy had left out the Bus IDs for the cards inserting instead lines like BusID “?@?:?:?”.

lspci to the rescue, and after I inserted the proper IDs (make sure to replace the XX:XX.X format returned by lspci with the XX:XX:X format needed by X), everything’s fine.

Just some keywords in case someone else runs into the same thing.  And it made today’s XKCD that much more enjoyable, finding it as I did after everything was fixed.  I think he has the slope inverted, because I definitely felt pretty good immediately after I got it working.  It’s all downhill from here: every moment brings me closer to the next time I’ll have to muck about with it.

Looking around on how to merge CF with multiple entries in RT, I couldn’t find anything and this was only useful as a starting point.  I have to admit I couldn’t figure out how to add a section to the RT Wiki, so I’m leaving the code here for future reference.

Here’s what replaces the Custom Action Cleanup Code:

#Define the Custom Field Name Were Going to Play with.
my $CFName = 'Auction';

#Transaction Association
my $txnObj = $self->TransactionObj;

#Ticket Association
#The New Ticket your Merging into
my $ticketObj  = $self->TicketObj;
my $queueObj   = $self->TicketObj->QueueObj;
my $CFObj      = RT::CustomField->new($RT::SystemUser);
$CFObj->LoadByNameAndQueue(Name => $CFName, Queue => $queueObj->id);
unless($CFObj->id) {
 $CFObj->LoadByNameAndQueue(Name => $CFName, Queue=>0);
 unless($CFObj->id){
 $RT::Logger->warning("Custom Field: $CFName not for this Queue");
 return undef;
 }
};

#The old Ticket you're merging From
my $oldTicket = RT::Ticket->new($RT::SystemUser);
$oldTicket->LoadById($txnObj->ObjectId);

my $field = $ticketObj->CustomFieldValues($CFObj->id);
my @currentvals;
while (my $value = $field->Next) {
 push @currentvals, $value->Content;
}

my $oldfield = $oldTicket->CustomFieldValues($CFObj->id);
unless ($oldfield) {
 $RT::Logger->warning("No entries for $CFName to merge");
 return undef;
}
while (my $value = $oldfield->Next) {
 my $content = $value->Content;
 if (grep {/^$content$/} @currentvals) {
 $RT::Logger->warning("Already found $content in $CFName");
 next;
 }
 my ($st, $msg) = $ticketObj->AddCustomFieldValue(
 Field => $CFObj->id,
 Value => $content,
 RecordTransaction => 1
 );

 if ($st){
 $RT::Logger->warning("Added $content to $CFName");
 } else {
 $RT::Logger->warning("Odd we couldn't set $CFName to $content");
 }
}

 return 1;
