SFTP and rsync crashing, and taking down the whole system with them
Hi everyone,
Never before I had to resort to the forums, but now I've got a problem I can't seem to solve, no matter how hard I try. Maybe someone on the forums can help me?
Both rsync and sftp (fish:// in konqueror) freeze my server, when I transfer a large file with them. The machine does not respond to anything, and a hardware reset is required.
I first noticed this, when my server ("bluebox") started crashing daily, always just a while after the cron'ed daily backup ran from my workstation ("caspar") (using rsync):
rsync -v -rltD -e ssh --numeric-ids --delete --exclude /proc / caspar@bluebox:/home/caspar/backups/workstation/files/
It always hung on a VirtualBox harddisk file, "WinXP Fundamentals.vdi", 3.4G in size. Sometimes 1.1G was transferred before crashing, sometimes only 700M.
I also tried copying this file with fish://bluebox in Konqueror, again a total freeze of the system after a few hundred MB. Copying with tar over ssh did work though:
tar cvf - "WinXP Fundamentals.vdi" | ssh caspar@bluebox tar xvf -
This server is completely stable apart from this problem. The network has proven to be stable as well, as it's been serving aroung 100GB of various data per day for the past 2 years. Memtest86+ also did not reveal any problems.
Do you have any idea what might cause the crashes, and how I might be able to solve it?
If you upgraded from 3.6 to 5 (you didn't indicate buying 4.4) then you will need the serial number from 3.6 in order to be able to use 5. If you did not keep a record of it there is a chance it might be available thru your Adobe account online, but if not, there is likely not much you can do except to return the upgrade and purchase a full version. Try contacting support using chat and explain your situation to see if they can help.

If you did purchase 4.4 then that should be sufficient to use to activate 5.
I can never be sure what goes on with Lightroom, and the Adobe site (even when it works properly) makes finding information about products difficult these days so I am at a loss to confirm anything I say.

I do not have particulars on the controller, but I am sure it's an NI chassis
and NI regular controller that has a serial cable leading back to the PC.
I am making this PXI rack into a debug rack for instrument cards,
so I need to be able to remove power from just the PXI chassis
and then replace the card with another one
or the same one and then turn the power back on and restart a
diagnostic test on the card WITHOUT
having to reboot the PC.
Is there a PCIe bridge setup that would allow me to do this?
Is there software that I need that can accomplish this?Yes
The Chassi is a NI PXI 1045
and the controller is a NI-PXI-8331
Let me re-enumerate my requirements:
Background:
I have a number of NI cards as well as other manufactured cards in the system.
One of these cards in the NI system is considered to be a UUT.
That is, I am using the NI card cage system and other cards in the system to test a CARD
during a manufacturing test of said UUT CARD.
The UUT uses a PLX 9030 for it's PCI interfacing.
This UUT is not designed for hot swap, and I do not bieleve it is plug and play.
Requirement:
1. I need to be able to shut off the chassis and remove the UUT when the test finishes, replace the tested UUT
with a unknown UUT, re-apply power and then test the new UUT WITHOUT having to reboot the PC.
I have tried several things, such as disabling the PCIe busses in the windows control panel, and then removing power
replacing the UUT with the next one, re-applying chassis power and then re-enabling the bus and SOMETIMES it works.
I need a very robust way to do this.
I also bought a CHROMA PXI-52906-E extender card with bus switches on it, so that I can remove power to the UUT
without shutting off the chassis. The card is supposedley designed so that when power is re-applied to the UUT, the necessary
signals to boot the PXI PCI interface is conducted, but I think something else has to be written to the card's PCI registers.
I am by no means an expert in PCI/PXI,
but I seem to have exhausted all of my reserach online in how to meet my requirements.
Perhaps there is a way for the NI8331 controller to capture PCI configuration data to the card's on system boot,
and then "replay it" to my UUT after I re-apply power to the UUT?
Or perhaps PLX makes such a tool?
Any ideas? -
I am having major problems with itunes match. I cannot operate it from my pc as every time it tries to get the information itunes stops responding and shuts down. It then can take 15 minutes of more to reopen itunes as it check my library. I have reinstalled itunes and my software is up to date. It is intensly irritating as I have to remember to tune match off or else I cannot do anything in itunes. Any ideas or do I just tell Apple I want my money back?
If I am persistent and keep tapping the download icon then one by one I can download the entire album but it normally takes a few hours/days. Anyone else had this?

I was running Lightroom 3.6 with the OS Windows XP (Sp3). The whole system crashed, I am unable to recover the serial number. I then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 (x64) and down loaded Lightroom 4.4, I wanted to buy a licence so I then upgraded to Lightroom 5, now when I try to register I am asked for the original licence/serial number. Where do I go from here??????

How do I transfer my checked songs from one computer to another - tried exporting library playlist etc but no luck! Please help! I have 26,000 songs - 17,000 are selected and I can't run down the list on my new computer and re-check 17,000 songs! Thanks!
Make a smart playlist of your whole library but only checked songs - #4 on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
Highlight all files in that playlist, then drag to the other drive. This isn't preserving any playlists or whatever, just copying files from one drive to another.
You might want to delete the smart playlist this once you are done because it will probably gobble up resources with that many files. -
I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

I can't close safari (option is greyed out) and I can't shut down the computer because of it. How do I fix this?
Try to "Force Quit" Safari - either under the Apple menu or by holding down option-Command-esc.

And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names." -
Hi
I am going to be buying a macbook air 2012 model with 4 GB ram soon. I was wondering how much space (memory) does Norton AV take up and does it drastically slow down the computer. Also, I am going off to uni so will predominantly be using the laptop for surfing and MS office.
Thanks a lotSorry to disagree mende1. In this age of email attachments and social networks, it is actually a good idea to have a good antivirus on your system. {I realize that this is a religious argument and I will say no more}. With that said, the general concensus is that Norton AV is terrible. It is intrusive and uses up a lot of cycles.
There are a lot of better AV clients out there. I use ClamXav which is free and uses the clamav antivirus that is open source. -
I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps
I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated
First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

My Ipod Touch have a black screen when an app shut down and I can not shut down the Ipod. The screen is still black and I did the press two buttons solution and it doesn't work. What I have to do now?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Some PDF files and other emails do not display the whole page. Is there a way to change that?
Some PDF files and other emails do not display the whole page. Is there a way to change that?
If an app does not behave as expected, try closing the app completely and reboot the iPad. It appears as though you have the original iPad. It helps if you list your iPad model and the iOS that you are running.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
Adressbook on new MacBookPro with 10.67 very very slow and so the whole system...help please?!
I already deleted intelligent groups, deleted half of the contacts, deleted preferences and reimported contacts after deleting and so on....no clue the addressbook is slowing the whole system down it seems. What to do?
Nope, it came with the upgrade to 10.7.2.
I've also tried to reinstall Lion yesterday. Nothing changed.
I've not visited the Cisco support site but I did a bit of search and it seems that nobody, except me, has this problem.
Certificates in the keychain file?! I'm just browsing to facebook on https for example... Don't know what you mean exactly with certificates. But anyway, this is not the problem, rather I think that this is just a part of the bigger problem. ;-)
