[SOLVED] AUR4 Invalid branch: otr-verwaltung

The name of the package is otr-verwaltung++. Looks like can not deal with ++ in AUR4. The uploading to Git repository works without any error message. When you are downloading the package as a snapshot everything is ok. But if you go to View PKGBUILD / View changes comes "Invalid branch : otr-verwaltung". What could that be or I'm doing something wrong when push.

Somewhere the webinterface is missing an urlencode call.

[solved] Package invalid errors

I'm trying to fix a system that died in the middle of a `pacman -Syu` (via `pacman -Qenq | -S -`) and I'm having a ton of problems with packages begin invalid. I've set my clock and cleared the cache several times, and I'm still getting invalid signature errors. Here's the debug output from one invalid package:
debug: found cached pkg: /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gcc-4.8.2-8-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Do you want to delete it? [Y/n]
When the validity check doesn't fail, the unpack often will, implying the same package is still bad.
It could be a bad mirror, in theory, except it's intermittent (albeit frequent), and my top mirror is kernel.org.
EDIT: Looks like the failure hosed something basic- reinstalling pacman's dependencies (including glibc) ended up triggering "illegal instruction" errors (and ultimately segfaults), and rebooting caused the same behavior in systemd.
When in doubt, boot install media, mount target and `pacstrap -cM base`.
This (pacstrapping base and then reinstalling everything) appears to have fixed the root problem, although I'm still experiencing echoes of the problem.

[SOLVED] [udev] invalid key/value pair in custom rule

Hey,
this simple rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-backup.rules, which is used to automatically mount my encrypted backup disk when plugging in run a backup script after the backup disk has been mounted, is said to be invalid:
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0470", ATTRS{serial}=="2080000048FD", ACTION=="add", ENV{SYSTEMD_WANTS}=="secbackup.service"
(The service file will mount the volume and start the backup script; mounting is done via udiskie.)
The following error pops up when booting the system:
systemd-udevd[225]: invalid key/value pair in file /etc/udev/rules.d/99-usb-backup.rules on line 1,starting at character 131 (':')
I don't see any colon (':') in my rule and the last closing quotation mark (") is the 130th character in this file...
This worked well before; I don't know when the error started to pop up. I use systemd 213-9.
Any hints?

I'm pretty sure AUR doesn't support packages that have different versions per architecture, I also wonder why the developer thinks this is a good idea. Anyway, as described here you should use source_$ARCH and sha256sums_$ARCH, not custom-if statements

How to solve "Error: Invalid Embed directive in stylesheet - can't resolve source" while building using mxmlc.exe on command prompt

Hi,
Currently, I am developing a powershell script for Flex build automation.
I found some problem and have been trying to search any references and tried any ways to fix it but It did not work.
I am using compc.exe for compiling the libraries and it works fine.
I compiled css files into swf files using mxmlc.exe and it works fine.
However, I have a problem while building my main application (mxml file).
It complains about embedded resources.
I run this command, it works fine:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\bin\mxmlc.exe" "C:\{somePath}\FlashClient\src\styleLang.css" -output "C:\{somePath}\FlashClient_deploy\styleLang.swf"
However, when I tried to run these command on cmd for testing:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Flex Builder 3\sdks\3.2.0\bin\mxmlc.exe" "C:\{somePath}\FlashClient\src\FlashClient.mxml" -load-config "C:\{somePath}\FlashClient\src\dump_config_temp.xml" -output "C:\{somePath}\FlashClient_deploy\flashclient_test.swf"
I got a lot of this error message:
this is my folder structure:
FlashClient
|
|---assets
|---src
      |
      |---FlashClient.mxml
      |---FlashClient.as
      |---FlashClientStyleLoopup.css
      |---styleLang
Already tried to add / at the beginning of the relative paths but It did not work.
Also tried to compile one of the image to a swc file and include it on the dump_config, but also did not work. something similar with Tech Diary: Flex : Solution to Error: unable to resolve '/assets/icons/icon.png' for transcoding using Embed tag
Does anyone know how flex builder resolve the relative path to make the embedded resources work? or how to fix this?
I've been trying to work on it for days but haven't had any luck.
Will be really appreciate it if someone could help me with this.
Many Thanks.

Hi,
make sure you are using 32 bit Java JDK. Check that your systems variables CLASSPATH, JAVA_HOME are pointing to correct 32 bit Java JDK folder (e.g. CLASSPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25 and JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_25). Also make sure you have 32 bit Java JDK's "bin" folder in your system's variable PATH.

Invalid Characteristics in Master data

Hello All,
I have been getting invalid characteristcs errors for most of the master data's and therefore i have always been using RSKC for most of times, but whenever new master data records get updated, again i get Invalid chars error in the DTP.
My Client is Norwegian and they have gt a lot of characters/symbols on each Alpha + Numeric Keys.
I have thght of two options to solve this invalid chars error, once for all...!!!
1) Install the Norways language in BI itself
2) Write a routine in Transformations, (both in Attr and Text transformation mappings).
Can any help/suggest what shud be done in this regards. Or is their anything i shud to get the norwegian character .map
Thanks

Hi,
I am not sure whether you trie ALL_CAPITAL in RSKC or ALL_CAPITAL_PLUS_HEX.
These should cover all the languages and there special symbols...no matter from what key board is used.
There are some issues related to Turkish language I guess but still it should work for the nordic countries.
keep the alphabets in capitals and this settings should work or you can cjheck the option lowercase letters in the infoobject genral tab to keep the small case flowing into BW as well.
This you should do after you have installed norway language itself...I think you are getting this error because of the langugae not installed.
I am not sure whya norway based client has not installed norway language in BI system??
Did you checked if the language is installed or not??
Thanks

Check if any ODS components are invalid
# Review $ORACLE_HOME/ldap/admin/LOGS/ldapupgrade.log
Check for any errors or messages.
- If any significant problems are seen, correct them and rerun oidiugrd.sql
- If no problems are found, or invalid status persists after rerunning, continue with the following steps:
# Check the ODS schema for invalid objects and correct as necessary
% sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> select owner,object_name,object_type from dba_objects
2> where owner='ODS' and status='INVALID';
# Cut the final validation portion of oidiugrd.sql and run it by itself:

How to solve error "invalid gift" enter valid email address?

Hi,
Are you trying to send the gift to a contact on your phone? It requires a fully qualified email address to send the gift to.
E.g. - if your contact for the gift was 'Bob' - you can't send it to him like that. It would need to be his full email address

Have you tried connecting through a different router? That has solved the "invalid signature" problem for several folks.

thanks for your comment, Todd
Did you mean that I should run the script that insert the branch and account rows to the tables ?
I couldn't find the script that insert data to the tables. As I explained before, I ran the crbanktab.ora by running crbank command, so I created 4 tables - BRANCH, ACCOUNT, TELLER, HISTORY but the tables had no data rows.
Is there any method to insert branch data in order to test using bankclt client ?
Because I am a beginner in Tuxedo application, it is hard to invoking BR_ADD service by myself.
Could you provide detail information how to insert branch data ?
thanks.

Fill in form using XML data source usable in Reader

I have a simple example of a scenario we need to solve. Different branches will fill out a form (designed in LiveCycle 8) and by entering their branch number static information will be filled in. I want to store the static infomation for all branches in an XML sheet that will be stored on a shared folder on the intranet.
The problem I have is getting the script to run in Reader. In preview in the Designer and using the import data function of Acrobat Pro it works fine. I think I am missing the script to import the data to work in Reader. I have not been able to find anything in the documentation to point me in the right direction. I have also had a case open with Adobe support for 2 months.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jeroen,
to have a user fill in, you first need to create a Web Dynpro application providing the offline form, e.g. through a download - tutorial at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/2dd3dbcd-0401-0010-55b8-b10808ff688e - or an e-mail - tutorial at http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/b040e6cd-0401-0010-268d-f67cf4904358
On the return trip, the user-entered data is stored in the SAP backend via the Web Dynpro context. (You do not store the raw XML, the data is back-converted by ADS to Java.)
In the fourth step, you will have to provide a Web Dynpro
application with an online form, which can be part of the same project, but basically generates the form again for completion.
If you want to use the same form that was submitted, you have to have your app store the submitted PDF (do not submit only the XML) in the backend (through the WD context), and then call that one up in the online scenario.
Cheers,
Markus

Pacman alpm issue, vercmd missing, after rescue from install CD

Hi
I wanted to remove all packages from my system and reinstall from scratch
So i used the pacman tip from the wiki to reinstall all packages on the system
but changed it to remove instead -R instead of -S, little did i think ...
everything on the system was removed, except running processes.
i had no ls etc, no pacman and so on.
So i created a arch cd from another computer and booted on it on my arch install computer.
then i was advised on the archlinux irc. todo a chroot mount and use pacman to install base-devel (+ base)
Hence i did that, ... after a long long while i succeed.
i first got chroot /mnt no /bin/bash mesage when trying to start the chroot.
So i copied the files shown via: ldd /bin/bash & ldd /usr/bin/pacman
then i mount:
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/
mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/boot
mount /dev/sda6 /mnt/usr/
mount /dev/sda7 /mnt/var/
(i didnt mount /home).
then
$ chroot /mnt
From here i use pacman to install packages
pacman -S base-devel - runs fine.
pacman -S base - i miss one package file (dcrond - i think)
Then instead i go the the very fine wiki again, and see how to install all local packages.
and use that.
However now i get messages under the pacman install of the type .
/tmp/alpm_QWYZ/.INSTALL: line xyz: vercmp: command not found.
------------- || -------------------------: line xyz: [: : integer expression expected
I can't find out where this message comes from, i can find no vercmp comand
(maybe a shell function?)
I get lots of other similar errors.
============================
At last there are al those /etc files which got .pacsave endings, should i think about them?
Here some more errors from a "pacman -S base" via the arch CD and chroot
find: /sys/devices no such file or directory
Which: no /pcmcia-socket-startup.staic in (/sbin)
ERROR: '/sbin/pcmcia-socket-startup.static' is not a file
+ some related files /sbin/pcmcia-**
============================
If i reboot and enter my system on its harddisk instead of via the CD.
I get SH: not able to change group (-1) : inappropiate ioctl for device.
This error message is by memory, since i just borked something else.
and couldnt load system on harddisk, somehow the kernel has misplaced itself...
============================
Ok more information:
I succeded in booting via hardisk, and it looked very promising.
However ...
Console messages:
device-mapper: ioctl: 4:15.0-ioctl .....
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...
:: running hook [resume]
Waiting 10 seconds for device ...
Root device ´´ doesnt exist, attempting to create it
ERROR: failed to parse block device ids for ´´
ERROR: unable to detect or create root device
.. some general info stuff
You are being dropped to a recovery console

Thanks John, Bill and Graffiti for your interest!
The original install, many years ago, was of an education version from a local college. As updates became available thorough the update manager, they were installed. As stated above, it updated though 6.0 to 6.6, and then on to 7, eventually to 7.1! I can only repeat what happened, but not explain it. I thought nothing of it at the time, as it was all being managed by the update manager. I agree that this last seems to be more an upgrade than an update, but... what can I say? What happened is what happened, and it happened as I described it.
But not's get hung up on the history! Now that I seem to have solved the original issue of not getting past the message that 'a more functional version has been detected', how does one solve the 'invalid serial number' issue that occurs when attempting to reinstall 6.0? Delete the Acrobat registry keys from HKLM and HKCU, and possibly anywhere else? The former didn't work yet, so, where else? Maybe there is an 'update' folder hanging around somewhere with a registry reference that needs to be deactivated? Something like {AC76BA86-0000-0000-7AC5-6028747ADE00}?
Any further thoughts? And thanks for the input, it really is appreciated!
