[solved] Cannot complete install, grub fails to boot the new install

I'm using the 2009.08 USB image.
I've tried this 2 weeks ago, tried it again today, same result. (I'm on Win7 meanwhile).
I'm installing arch, everything goes fine.
I've tried 2 setups:
a)
100GB ext4 /
12GB swap
(no separate /boot, should work)
b)
100MB ext3 /boot
100GB ext4 /
12GB swap
Neither a) or b) will boot.
When the newly installed grub boots, I get a error saying:
filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7
I get this for the ext3, ext4, and windows partitions.
I get it for both a) and b) setups.
I have doublechecked the menu.lst file. I've even created another entry setting root=/dev/sdb1 (as opposed to the default /dev/disks/by-uuid/..).
I should mention, I have two disks, the first (sda) is currently with a Win7 installation, the 2nd (sdb) is the one I'm trying to install Arch again (and failing).
After the reboot, I've tried booting into the livecd again and manually trying to mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt, it works.
Why isn't my grub boothing from ext{3,4}?

I was getting that error but after re-installing grub and making some changes to the menu.lst file it was fixed.
I was able to at one stage boot into arch but it gave problems with the root. Now it just seems to freeze while trying to load grub.
I am currently trying yet another install of grub. I have been noticing though that my menu.lst file has been rolling back or not updating when I chroot back into my install after changing it earlier.
Try mounting your /boot partition under /mnt/boot.

Grub fail to boot the first time

Hello
I spent the past 2 days trying without success to install my archlinux. I am out of ideas so I come here for advise.
Grub doesn't seem to be able to load my LVM partions.
Before you ask, yes, I have the dm_mod in the module list and the lvm2 in the hook list. Yes I regenerated the image.
Here is my /boot/grub/grub.cfg (Which is loaded! Grub load correctly the config, load the initrd and everything!, the isssue comes after the menuentries)
insmod gzip
insmod part_gpt
insmod lvm
insmod ext2
set root=(lvm/lv1-boot)
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/lv1/root ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
I tried to use /dev/mapper/lv1-root, it does just the same.
/etc/fstab have been generated by genfstab.

It propose me to enter recovery mode or to continue and if I continue, it works fine!!! But as it is a remote server, this happen way before the network initialization so I can't let it be
I must have missed something setting up grub. But what?
As I said, I am out of ideas . Does someone would have any?

EDIT: additionnal infos:
GRUB2

/dev/sda1 -> bios
/dev/sda2 -> Linux LVM
pv /dev/sda2
vg lv1 /dev/sda2
lv:
root -> ext4 (I tried ext3... no luck)
boot -> ext2 (I tried ext3 and ext4... no luck)
swap -> swap (unused)
Install via bootstrap (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Install_from_Existing_Linux Method1)
EDIT2:
I tried with MBR instead of GPT, exact same issue
I tried to gensftab with UUIDs instead, changes nothings

In the example on the wiki, there are no parentheses around the lvm/lv1-boot:
# (0) Arch Linux
menuentry "Arch Linux" {
insmod lvm
set root=lvm/VolumeGroup-lv_boot
# you can only set following two lines
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/VolumeGroup-root ro
initrd /initramfs-linux.img
Note: I don't know that the wiki is correct. I'm just noting the disparity.

Help!

Similar threads solve this problem by either creating a new administrator identity, which allows one to update applications, or changing the keychain prefs to Best attempt. My issue was solved by adding a new admin user, and then updating the apps from the App store using the new identity. Under my orginal user identity the keychain app would crash when I attempted to open Prefs. After creating a new identity and updating the applications (iPhoto, etc) I found I was able to open the keychain Prefs logged into my orginal identity.

Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information.

Hi All,
In my dashboard there are live office connections which has optional prompts defined in SAP BI. I have bound the cells to these prompts in live office object properties.
There are no errors while refreshing the LO connections from excel sheet.
But when i run that dashboard and give BLANK value for that prompt then it throws the error :
Cannot access external data , Failed to get the document information. (LO 26315).
Reply highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
DJ

Hi Hardik,
I am building a similar solution as yours connecting webi reports to Bex queries and reading the webi data through live office into the dashboards. I am using almost similar versions as yours - BW 7.1 SP5, BO 4.1 SP4, Dashboards and Live Office SP4 versions. I am facing issues setting up the live office connections itself. I create the Live office connections within an excel and when I try to import this excel spreadsheet into my dashboard designer, it runs forever and crashes.
Could you please list out the steps you performed to get the Dashboard to preview live office data? Do you have OLAP connections for BW cubes and created WebI reports using these connections or You created a Universe on top of the Bex Queries?
It would be great if you could share the steps performed.
With respect to your issue, check if the report engine service is running. Do you have any error message details apart from this error?
Thanks.
Regards,
Rohini.

Resolved - iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined.

Current setup
- Dell Destop running Windows XP SP3
- iTunes 10.5 as of 11/02/2011
- iPad 2 iOS 5.0 as of 11/02/2011
I recently got the error message iTunes cannot sync apps to iPad "ipadName" because the apps installed on the iPad could not be determined. I had already upgrade the iPad to iOS 5.0 several weeks ago and had no issues. I had also sync'f many many times in the past with no issues.
I was able to sync on Sunday and then "All of a sudden", I could not sync on Monday. Tried closing out all my apps on the iPad, that didn't help. Tried restarted my desktop and the iPad and then sync, that didn't help. Tried logging into my AppleID account via iTunes and iPad to see if that would clear up anything in the background, that didn't help. I also couldn't really find anything on the web that helped.
Come Monday, I decided to just delete the apps from iPad manually and go about it that way. When I tried to delete the app, it did not give me the (x) option to delete. Weird? Did a quick search online and someone suggested that the Restriction to delete apps was OFF. DING, DING, that was it. Checked my settings and sure nough, I had made that change late on Sunday. Enabled the ability to delte my apps and was able to delete my apps. Then I thought, would this also fix my sync issue?
Crossed my fingers and attempted to sync my iPad in iTunes and like Emeril Says "Bam"! I was able to sync my iPad once again without having to reset my iPad, etc.
I hope this helps many of you save several hours. I also think that Apple should add additional verbage to that message such as check that you are not restricting the deletion of apps or something like that.

Based on an online post, I tried the following and it worked for me:
1. Windows 7: Control panel > Device Manager
2. Right click my PC's name > "scan for hardware changes"
3. Restart iTunes
4. Restart IPad
5. Connect IPad
6. Still I got the same error
7. Restart iTunes
8. Restart IPad
9. Connect IPad
10. It worked and I was able to sync the apps!!
Prior to this I had removed few apps, not sure that was a trigger.
System: IPad 1, IOS 5.x

B1 Upgrade failed to launch the new version installation

Hi all
I encoutered the following problem when upgrading SAP B1 V8.81 SP0 PL5 to PL6. The Upgrade test showed no errors and the upgrade on the server finished properly. But then i started the client and got the message "The system cannot find the file specified. The B1 upgrade failed to launch the new version installation."
It is not possible to deinstall the SAP Client because there is no such point under control panel > software! Does anyone know this behaviour? When i try to start the client from the b1_shr folder the message appears that there is already another version installed.
Could it be a problem upgrading from PL5 to PL6 because they are both upgrade packages and not patchlevel updates?
Thanks for your help.

Marco

Hi
I do not understand this sentence:
>> When i try to start the client from the b1_shr folder the message appears that there is already another version installed.
You have to run the SAP B1 client in the server to start the upgrade.
Did you open SAP B1 client in server machine? Did SAP show you message to upgrade?
All the best.
Agustin.

TS1389 iTunes fails to sinc the new apps

Since I upgraded iTunes to the last version it fails to sinc the new apps on my iphone 4 or ipad mini. From step 3 it jumps to step 5 and ends sinc!... I tried with the option "Install new apps automatically" on and off with the same result. iphone and ipad with ios 6.1.3 and itunes with 11.0.3 version. What should I do?

Thanks jason269.
Unfortunately your suggestion didn't help. The problem is that before, when I connected the iPhone/iPad with iTunes, new apps or updates installed on the device were automatically detected and synced with my pc through iTunes.
Now they are not detected. On step 3, it says "detecting new applications" and suddenly jumps to step 6 and finishes synchronization without copying the new apps or updating the existing that were updated on the device in the meantime.
That's the problem! It persists with the last version of iTunes installed today - 11.0.4...

No you cannot, it doesn't allow that level of customization.

Hi,
Check the list of post installation steps:
http://www.saptechies.com/post-installation-steps-for-ecc-60/
From my point of view basic post installation steps are:
- Installing SAP License (from http://service.sap.com/licensekeys)
- Setup TMS (STMS)
- Import profiles (RZ10)
- Client Copy (SCC*)
- Create users (SU01)
However further many steps are required as per your requirements. Cehck the link for more detailed steps.

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

I currently run the Design and Web Premium CS6 on a first generation MacBook Air and want to buy a new MacBook Pro. How do I know whether I can install my Adobe programs onto the new computer? Because I know there is some kind of limit.

Also, I had to install the software twice on my same computer before because I had to reboot the computer. I don't know if this affects the limit.

You are allowed to have two activated installations so there should not be a problem having working installations on the two machines. If by chance you have somehow tied up two activations for the one machine you can have Adobe support help resolve that thru chat.

Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema

Would you recommend installing and creating apps in the apex install schema for e.g. apex_040100? Or would you rather a separate tablespace be used for the application objects? In addition to this we are integrating it with Oracle EBS? Are there any industry best practices for creating tablespaces and schemas for apex applications?

A BIG NO!!!, you should be using separate schema's
Have you seen this http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/learnmore/apex-ebs-extension-white-paper-345780.pdf

My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

My apps won't update or install. I would push the update/install button, and it wouldn't do anything. How do I fix that?

I would do a restore using iTunes. This will re-install the latest iOS 6 with factory settings, then you'll have to re-enter your settings and re-install your apps. But everything should work after that.
