[Gnome 3.8] Recommended way for upgrade? [SOLVED]
Hi folks,
upgrading Gnome from version 3.6 to 3.8 by using "pacman -Syu" doesn't seem to be the best way to do this. When I gave it a try yesterday, pacman asked me on a lot of packages (Gnome 3.6) if I want to replace them with different packages from Gnome 3.8 (looks as if the packages are arranged/renamed in a new way). In the end, pacman stopped because of some conflicting dependencies.
So, would it be better to re-install Gnome using
# pacman -S gnome gnome-extra
although Gnome is already installed on my system?
Or do you know any other appropriate way to upgrade from 3.6 to 3.8?
Thanks

pacman -Syu is the only way you should be upgrading. Remember, partial upgrades are not supported and will lead to a clusterfuck
Actually, like the OP, I originally tried #pacman -Syu, which because of at least some Gnome 3.8 packages hitting testing, which I have enabled, would not succeed mainly because of the changes made within gnome-games and it's dependency with gnome-games-extra-data. I had to manually remove gnome-games-extra-data first before running #pacman -Syu again and answering yes to all the name changed gnome-games to be replaced by the new counterparts. I rebooted after that and ran the pacman upgrade command again which came up clean. I was still experiencing some little issues here and there and it didn't seem like everything 3.8 got pulled in and subsequent pacman runs were wanting to downgrade some of the packages I just upgraded. I read in this thread below, where folks had been testing gnome 3.8 from unstable, a suggestion after it hit testing, that running #pacman -S testing/gnome-extra was necessary to get everything working:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1257391
When I later ran #pacman -S testing/gnome testing/gnome-extra, it wasn't really a matter of cherry-picking anything anymore than running that without testing enabled would be. In this case, it was merely reinstalling all the gnome and gnome-extra newest stuff (and maybe pulling in anything that somehow got missed) because of the quirks I was seeing with pacman's behavior. Normally, pacman seems to pull from testing fine if something newer is there. I keep the testing repos enabled and, at least once a day, run #pacman -Syu to obtain my updates / upgrades. I also install packages that are new to my system with #pacman -S pkgname, normally allowing pacman to pull in whatever it decides per it's conf file. I wasn't recommending that the OP turn on testing, grab what he wanted without doing a full upgrade first, then turn off testing, because I know that will quickly lead to a borked system.

What is the recommended way to upgrade system ruby and python binaries and their libraries?

Hi Sogaard,
see below:
How does SAP recommend to integrate Webi-report in the SAP Portal? Is it through an URL iview, the iview templates (thumbnail, folder and alert) or through the Master Iview?
The sample iViews are just samples for a particular case. The iView template allows you to use any application on the BusinessObjects system - including the viewing of content. What you are looking for is the creation process for WebI. So you have 2 options: you can use the KM integration and you can build a java application that offers the workflow you looking for and integrate it with the iView template
Depending on what method should be used, I'd like to know which settings to be focused on. For instance, if the Master Iview is to be used, should opendocument be used instead of reports? And what other customizations will have to be done in order to integrate a Webi-report instead of a Crystal-Report?
OpenDocument is for viewing reports. The Installation Guide outlines the integration of the iView template and the KM part.
What is the intended use for the BOBJ repositoy manager? Would that be the way to integrate the Info-view?
This is the integration into the KM repository which provides a richer functionality then just an iView.

What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?
What is the recommended way for persisting JMS messages?. As per the IMQ admin documentation , using the default built-in persistence type which is through unix flat files is much efficient and faster, compared to the database persistence .
Tried setting up the jdbc stuff for database persistence on iAS 6.5 . I am getting the following
error .

Any thoughts?From the output, you are using imq 2.0. In that release
the key used to persist a durable subscriber in the database
table has a limit of 100 characters. The output shows that
your value is:
SystemManager%3ASystemManagerEngine%2BiMQ+Destination%0AgetName%28%29%3A%09%09SM_Res
ponse%0AClass%3A%09%09%09com.sun.messaging.Topic%0AgetVERSION%28%29%3A%09%092.0%0Ais

esponse%2C+JMQDestinationDescription%3DA+Description+for+the+Destination+Object%7D:
which is much longer than 100 characters.
You might want to shorten the string you use for the
durable name.
And yes, the default file-based persistence store is
more efficient when compared to the plugged-in persistence
through a database. -
Recommended way for Oracle SDO_GEOMETRY
I'm going to be using coldfusion<>oracle spatial db to retrieve location data. Oracle does this with an SDO_GEOMETRY data type which holds location data, in my case somewhere in there will be point data which will have a longitude and latitude.
since i intend to plug this all into a datagrid and do crud type stuff i was wondering what the recommended way is for coldfusion to define and use this type for crud type sql statements
Thx.Why don't you start by taking an AWR report from those two hours so you can see what is the bottleneck for your system ?

Recommendations for Upgrading
I purchased a W520 last year around this time.
Have been very happy with it so far. I am at that point now where I am looking for more.
What is the first upgrade I should do?
I have...
- 8GB of ram
-160 GB SSD it came with (thinking about upgrading here)
- i7 2760
-windows 7 pro
I have never cloned hard drives before is it hard?
ThanksThe W520 is a relatively new model. (Certain users would rather hang on to it than upgrading to the latest W530.) That means all the components cannot be considered "out of date." The main bay, in particular, supports SATA 6Gbit/s or, as certain people put it, SATA III.
Your 160GB SSD, which I suppose to be Intel, supports SATA 3Gbit/s. You may want to upgrade to a SSD of higher storage capacity and, most likely, the new SSD supports SATA 6Gbit/s although I doubt the increase in transfer speed will bring any perceptible improvements.
I'd recommend bumping the RAM up to 16GB total. Although your applications might not need all of it, Windows SuperFetch can take full advantage of the available RAM.
Cloning? Use Acronis True Image, for example. Very easy. -
What is the recommended procedure for upgrading the OS?
I'm a creative cloud subscriber and am about to perform an upgrade from Win 7 to Win 8. Has this scenario been tested? Should I deactivate and/or uninstall my Adobe products before the upgrade, and then reinstall after? Will this be considered a 'new' computer, and cost me another install?
Let me know if there is any documentation available for 'best-practices' when upgrading an OS with Adobe products installed.
Thank you.The only thing would be an adapter, for example World Travel Adapter Kit from the Apple Store.

Best practice for upgrading task definition in production system
If I try and update a task definition with task instances running I get the following error:
Task definition 'My Task - Add User' may not be modified while there are active task instances
Is there a best practice to handle this. I tried to force an update through the console but that didn't work. I tried editing the task from the debug page and got the same error.The best way for upgrade purposes is to use the rename function of the TaskDefinition from the lh command line utility.
Basically renames all current task instances with the TaskDefinition name. You can then alter the existing TaskDefinition and upload into identity manager. -
I have MacBook with OS 10.5.8
Is there any way for me to install and run Keynote on this machine? ThanksWelcome to the Apple Support Communities
Keynote '09 is compatible with your computer, but you won't get the latest Keynote version running that version. As you have an Early 2008 MacBook, first I recommend you to update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard to get newer versions of all applications but without losing any applications > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Make a backup before upgrading.
The DVD contains Mac OS X 10.6.3, so after upgrading, open > Software Update to update to 10.6.8. Then, you will get access to the App Store.
However, the Keynote version available in the App Store is only compatible with OS X 10.7.5 or newer, so now you have two options:
1. Upgrade to OS X Lion and purchase Keynote from the App Store.
2. Keep Mac OS X Leopard or Snow Leopard, and buy Keynote on a DVD in eBay or Amazon. Note that you won't be running the most recent Keynote version, but it doesn't mind (the latest version only adds iCloud support) -
Hi, upgraded to OSX Mavericks..my contacts on my iphone4 and iPad don't appear on my iMac..I've tried all ways but can't find a way for iCloud to deposit the contacts on my Mac..Contacts on my Mac is blank, so I'm starting from a clean sheet...can anyone help? Thanks PAR236
I recommend to check www.icloud.com, are your contacts shown there?
If not -> Something might be not set up correctly on you iOS devices.
Also.. Simple but maybe occuring: Contacts -> Preferences -> Accounts -> iCloud is enabled? (Should be by default if you have iCloud setup via the system preferences, but you never know..) -
I'm trying to downgrade my icloud storage; however, my MAC book will not upgrade pass 10.6.8 and I don't have my iphone anymore. If there another way for me to do this? I've tried everything I can find online and of course my coverage has expired and can't call the support team.
Hello Lara,
have you already called Apple and explained your current situation, because I don't see a way to downgrade your storage plan with a Mac only running Snow Leopard and without a iOS device running at least iOS 5.
Best regards. -
Hello,
I am writing a driver for the M-series NI PCI-6255 for QNX. I have downloaded the MHDDK and have all the examples working. I have also enhanced the examples to do interrupt handling (e.g. on AI_FIFO interrupt or DMA Ring Buffer interrupt). My ultimate goal is to write a driver that I can use for closed-loop control at 500 Hz using all 80 channels of the NI PCI-6255. I may also need to synchronize each scan with a NI PCIe-7841R card for which I've already written a driver. I want an interrupt-driven solution (be it programmed I/O on an interrupt or DMA that generates an interrupt) so that the CPU is available to other threads while the 80 analog inputs are being read (since it takes quite a while). I also want to minimize the number of interrupts. Basically, I will need to collect one sample from all 80 channels every 2 milliseconds.
There are many different options available to do so, but what is the recommended technique for the NI PCI-6255 card? I tried using the AI FIFO interrupt without DMA, but it seems to interrupt as soon as any data is in the AI FIFO (i.e. not empty condition), rather than when all 80 channels are in the FIFO, so more interrupts are generated than necessary. I tried using DMA in Ring Buffer mode to collect a single sample of 80 channels and interrupting on the DMA Ring Buffer interrupt, which appears to work better except that this technique runs into problems if I cannot copy all the data out of the DMA buffer before the next AI scan begins (because the DMA will start overwriting the buffer as it is in ring buffer mode). If the DMA is not in ring buffer mode or I make the ring buffer larger than one 80-channel sample then I don't have a way to generate an interrupt when one sample has been acquired (which I need, because I'm doing control).
I saw something in the documentation about a DMA Continue mode in which it looks like you can switch between two different buffers (by programming the Base Count/Address with a different address than the current address) automatically and thereby double-buffer the DMA but there is no real documentation or examples on this capability. However, I think it would work better than the Ring Buffer because I could interrupt on the DMA CONT flag presumably and be copying data out of one buffer while it is filling the other buffer.
Another option would be DMA chaining, but again, I cannot find any information on these features specific to the NI DAQs.
I tried interrupting on AI STOP figuring that I could get a single interrupt for each scan, but that doesn't appear to work as expected.
I know that DAQmx on Windows has the ability to do such single sample, multiple channel tasks at a fixed rate so the hardware must support it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Daniel MadillHello,
The interrupt that will happen nearest the times that you need is the AI_Start_Interrupt in the Interrupt_A group. This interrupt will occur with each sample clock. By the second time this interrupt fires, the AI FIFO should have the samples from the first conversion. If it is easier to use programmed IO, you can read the samples out of the FIFO until you get all 80.
Additionally, you can set the DMA to send samples as soon as the FIFO is no longer empty...instead of waiting for half full or full. This change will reduce latency for your control loop. You can set AI_FIFO_Mode in AI_Mode_3_Register to 0. By the second time this interrupt fires, you should be able to check how much data is in the DMA ring buffer and read the 80 samples when they are available. You can make the ring buffer larger than 80 samples if you see data getting overwritten.
There is no interrupt associated with 80 samples being available in the FIFO or 80 samples being available/transferred by DMA to the host. X Series has much more flexibility with these interrupts.
I hope this helps!

What is the best way to upgrade my iMac (2.66GHz, early '08) for Photoshop?
I'd be grateful for some advice on the most cost-efficient way to upgrade my iMac. I had thought of replacing it this year but am hoping to stave off that decision for a while. My reason for upgrading is that I use photoshop a lot, with big files (some up to 1Gb), many layers, panorama stitching etc. My options seem to be:
- Upgrade to new iMac. I appreciate there are several advantages to this. Faster processor, faster graphics card, support for more RAM, possibility of fusion drive etc. The question is whether there are some low-cost steps I can take instead that will make a big difference.
- Upgrade RAM. This is probably a no-brainer. I only just found out that my iMac (Model 8.1, early '08, 2.66GHz) can actually take 6Gb not the 4Gb that Apple says is the maximum.
- Replace/add hard drive. I had been thinking of replacing the tiny 320Gb HDD (using iFixIt guide). However, I noticed that my external HDD on FW800 (WD) seems to run faster than the internal one, which surprised me (tested using BlackMagic - read/write speeds approx 55 on internal, 70 on external). So maybe I just need to upgrade the external drive (new HDD in same enclosure?).
- SDD. I like the idea of a small-ish SDD, on which I would put my start-up partititon, photo apps (photoshop, lightroom, photomatix etc) and probably the current project. Photoshop would be pointed towards it for the scratch file. I think even a 120Gb SDD would work well and speed things up a lot. I would probably aim to use iFixIt's enclosure for the SDD that replaces the optical drive.
So... if I replaced the RAM ($80), increased the external HDD to 3Tb ($150), and inserted a 120Gb SDD ($120), that would cost $350 and would give me the extra memory, the speed of SDD for start-up and all photo files, as well as a good size storage increase in the HDD. This compares to probably $2000 for the iMac I would purchase with RAM upgrade.
Will this give me a *big* improvement or am I mostly limited by the processor speed (can I overclock?) and video card?
Very grateful for any thoughts.Hello,
RAM is the first...

HDD, or especially an SSD would speed up things...

Personally, I boot my iMac from FW for reliability.
You wouldn't want to overclock anything, unless you add a bunch of extra cooling. -

My Mac Book Pro is currently runnng OS X v10.5.8. When I check for updates by clicking the apple icon it tells me that my computer is up to date. What is the easiest way to upgrade to OS X Lion? Do I need to get OS X Snow Leopard first?
Yes, there's been no updates to 10.5.8 for quite awhile, next is paid Upgrades.
Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
General requirements
* Mac computer with an Intel processor
* 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least)
* 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
* Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
http://snowleopard.wikidot.com/
It looks like they might still have it...
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A?fnode=MTY1NDAzOA
If it's a core Duo & not a Core2Duo, then it'll only run in 32 bit mode.
Lion/101.7 System requirements
• x86-64 processor (Macs with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Intel Core i3, Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, or Xeon processor.)
• At least 2GB of memory, I say 6 GB
• Latest version of Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6.8), with the Mac App Store installed
• At least 4GB of disk space for downloading, I say 50 GB.
Like Snow Leopard, Lion does not support PowerPC-based Macs (e.g., Power Macs, PowerBooks, iBooks, iMacs (G3-G5), eMacs).
Lion also does not support 32-bit Intel Core Duo or Core Solo based Macs. Rosetta is no longer available in Lion, which means Lion no longer supports PowerPC applications.
