10.6.5 upgrade issue: folders with non-standard chars in names unusable
Hi all,
I recently upgraded my XServe (2 x dual-core 2Ghz Xeon; 10Gb RAM) from OSX Server 10.6.4 to 10.6.5 (and applied several other updates: XCode 3.2.5, iTunes 10.1.1, Safari 5.0.3 and Java 10.6u3). Since the upgrade, I have a new problem whereby some folders shared via both SMB and AFS are unusable over the network.
The problem applies to all folders whose names either (1) contain atypical characters like *, > or /, or (2) begin or end in a space.
These folders are unusable over the network. Some appear, but others do not. Those that appear do not contain any files, even though they contain files when I browse them locally on the server. I cannot copy files into or out of any of the folders, nor can I rename them (remotely).
When I browse the local file system on the server, there are no problems whatsoever - the problems occur only when connected remotely. The problems occur with both SMB and AFS access; I have not tried other protocols.
These folders were heavily used by both Windows and Mac clients prior to the upgrade, and the problems are reliable and reproducible.
The problems are fixed immediately by renaming the files to have more standard names, and they re-occur if I name the folders back. I will encourage the users here to adopt more standard naming conventions, but this is a fairly serious bug that is requiring some tedious workarounds.
Any advice on this problem would be much appreciated!
Regards
Tim
Different OS have different naming conventions. As you notices there are characters the macs will let you use; that the PC will not. And there are also characters the pc can use that the macs can not.

One solution I know of is to batch scan/ rename files on a regular basis. Witch you could automate. to keep from generating lots of support requests. And to compliment this tactic you can educate the staff on file naming.
There are programs that focus on pc/mac compatibility. Basically they try to restrict the mac and pcs from doing any thing that would cause naming convention conflicts. I hear they help reduce the number of naming conflicts.
the other thing is verify the permissions on the share point. make sure no one can create files that other users can not see.
If you find a better solution; I'd love to know.
At least your not on the other side; I have window shares. And mac files can just completely fail to save, or if the file has a resource, the fork might be lost. I like mac shares better; because at least the files will save to the server.

Folders with forward slashes in the name not appearing in Mail.app Exchange
Has anybody else seen this? For folders with forward slashes in the name, such as "Meetings/Events", the folder shows up in Outlook Web Access and over Exchange in Entourage 2008, but not Exchange over IMAP with Mail.app in Snow Leopard. The folder shows up once I remove the forward slashes, such as "Meetings Events" or "Meetings-Events" or "Meetings and Events".
Is this a known issue, and is there a fix besides renaming the folders?In Unix the forward slash is an illegal character for a filename. In general you should avoid using it as the forward slash is used in path names such as /Folder/File. Avoid using the colon as well because it's commonly used as part of a disk identifier in OS X.
This is not any different than avoiding the backslash in Windows filenames. -
UploadedFile and filenames with non-ascii chars
Hi
I'm using an UploadedFile object in my web app, and all works fine. However, when I try to upload a file, with a filename containing non-ascii chars (e.g. Spanish), I see that the getBytes method returns an empty byte array, the filename is not stored correctly (the non-ascii chars are lost, replaced by another representation), and that the content-type is application/octet-stream instead of image/png as supposed to be.
If I rename that same file to have only ascii chars - everything is back to normal.
How can I upload files with non-ascii chars in their name?Hi, back! Spent a few hours experimenting and found
that everything is working great (including the creation
of international non-ASCII foldernames) when I used
utf-8 encoding in the sieve filters rules for the
the match strings and the folder names... at least
so far so good... for your ref and sorry for bothering. -
Youtube issue - search with non-english letters
The issue appeared after the recent software update, worked correctly in the previous one.
When searching youtube with non-english letters (through iphone remote app), it assumes every letter to be an "enter" and reports a problem connecting to youtube.
Even when I try using the "recent searches", it will report the same problem for non-english items.you need to report it to apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html

How easy is it to share folders with non-creative cloud users?
I do npt want to share my master log in and password, but I would like to share with non cloud users.
I do appreciate the fast reply, and I appreciate it. I can offer one useful function, and that is the PS Cloud on my iPad being able to seamlessly sync with the photos in the cloud storage. So, if I want to work on a PS project, I can add it from the cloud. This is a very good feature.

[SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL
Hello,
I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.
Last edited by Renan Birck (2009-11-28 20:54:23)I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
But there exists other tools also.
I can help you with halevt if you choose that way... -
Ttf-hunky-fonts pkgbuild: bitstream vera with non Eng chars
Saw it, built it, posting it :-)
I admit it - not all characters are perfect. But this is the first version and author promised to repair it soon. Still, if you want to have Bitstream Vera TTF fonts (originally lacking nonEn chars) with additional characters ("Baltic, Central European, South European and other languages, including Maori, Welsh and Esperanto") you can try it. It can co-exist with other ttf fonts (including original Bitstream Vera). Font names are Hunky Serif and Hunky Sans.

Protecting Apache URLs ending in '/' with non-standard DirectoryIndex
I'm using Apache agent 2.2 for Acces Manager 7. My Apache version is 1.3.33. I have a DirectoryIndex line in my httpd.conf like so:
DirectoryIndex index.cgi index.html
So when I request the URL <http://server.edu/subdir/> I should get <http://server.edu/subdir/index.cgi>.
My problem is when URLs like this are protected by Access Manager. I have an inverted notenforced_list, which contains http://server.edu/subdir*. So only stuff in subdir should be controlled by AM. I want all 3 of these URLs to give the same results:
http://server.edu/subdir
http://server.edu/subdir/
http://server.edu/subdir/index.cgi
The first and third URLs work as expected; the second one (with a trailing '/') doesn't work. If I change my notenforced_list to read http://server.edu/subdir/*, then only the third (complete) URL works.
By looking at the agent logs in debug mode, it appears that AM is first looking at policy for http://server.edu/. That test passes, since that URL is part of the (inverted) notenforced_list.
Then the agent goes on to check the /subdir URL -- but it tacks on index.html:
2006-04-20 14:06:58.144 Debug 10883:252998 PolicyAgent: get_request_url(): Returning request URL http://server.edu/subdir/index.html.
Then it goes on to say that it will enforce policy on this URL, which is correct, but it's referring to index.html, not index.cgi. I'm never prompted for authentication, I just get a browser error that says the page cannot be displayed. If I ask explicitly for http://server.edu/subdir/index.cgi, everything works as expected -- I'm redirected to the AM server and prompted to authenticate, then redirected back to the URL I originally requested.
Am I missing something here? Has anyone else tried to protect URLs ending in '/' with a non-standard name?Here is the log extract. You can see pretty clearly that it just tacks on 'index.html' to the end of the original URL, when it gets to the 2nd phase of the policy evaluation (after checking for root-level policy). Thanks for taking a look!

Terminal: Stored Remote Connection with non-standard Port?
Hi,
I am new to MacOS and I am amazed by the integrated terminal. However, I sometimes need to connect to servers which use a non-standard SSH port, for example, 2020. I know that I can manually connect, but for convinience, I'd like to have a saved remote connection including the non-standard port. Is this possible somehow?
Thanks,
FelicitusI did some experimentation, using Terminal.
Terminal -> New Remote Connection -> Service -> [+]
now enter your own new service which includes
/usr/bin/ssh -p 50022
I found I had to enter a bonjour entry to get it to accept my new service, but once I did, I was able to use that new service with the custom -p 50022 port value.
Your mileage may vary. I still prefer iTerm.
Oh yea. In the future, Terminal and Unix oriented questions are better asked in the Mac OS X Technologies > Unix Forum

Difficulties retrieving documents with non ascii characters in name
Hello
I have a very simple container with only one document in it: *<ação nome="ação"/>*
When using the dbxml shell to retrieve it, no problem:
dbxml> open teste.dbxml
dbxml> get "ação"
1 documents found
dbxml> print
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ação nome="ação"/>
(The strange characters appear because my terminal uses Latin1 encoding.)
But I cannot retrieve the document with a very simple Java program (left out basic environment setup for clarity - I will put the full code in a follow-up post):
String name = new String("ação"); +// will cause: com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlException: Error: Document not found: ação, errcode = DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND+
// String name = new String("ação".getBytes(), utf8); +// will cause: com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlException: Error: Document not found: ação, errcode = DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND+
String name = new String("ação".getBytes(), latin1); +// will cause: com.sleepycat.dbxml.XmlException: Error: Document not found: ação, errcode = DOCUMENT_NOT_FOUND+
XmlDocument doc = container.getDocument(tx, name);
Almost certainly this problem has to do something with the encoding of the name, but I cannot see why.
Thank you very much for looking into this,

Safe libpng and libtiff upgrade with non-standard Cairo
I have the whole pack of Ubuntu's LCD rendering patches installed on my system. As the recent news post http://www.archlinux.org/news/libpnglib … m-testing/ says I have to "check the unofficial packages (especially the cairo-* packages from AUR) for required rebuilds". Do I have just to reinstall all these before or after the upgrade (I hope all my settings will be preserved?) or is it better just do not upgrade for a while?
When using pacman -R package, config files are stored, just the package itself is removed.
You'll install the new libpng/libtiff and AFTERWARDS you'll rebuild those packages, who need an upgrade.
Upgrading the libs later won't change anything about this.
[If you run into errors of packages relying on the older libpng14 (like AWN does), there is still the possibility to copy the new libpng15 to libpng14...though this is just a workaround and not to be recommended]

Rename files and move them into new folders with part of original file name
I have tried using automator and other programs such as name Name Mangler with no luck.
I am trying to have an AppleScript run when files are added to a folder, using a service through Automator.
File names come in 9 different suffixes, all with the same prefix.
Example:
nonspecificprefixSUFFIX
nonspecificprefixOTHERSUFFIX
nonspecificprefixALSOSUFFIX
I am trying to get the program to create a folder named after the prefix, then to remove the prefix from the files after moving them into this folder.
There are 9 different suffixes that should remained unchanged.
End goal would be to have child folders named nonspecificprefix, nonspecificprefix2 etc each with 9 files only containing the suffix portion of original name.
If anyone has any tips to get me on the right path that would be much appreciated! I have thousands of files to rename and move so this would save me loads of time!Erwin,
I was not able to systematically examine this issue, because it occurred on a production system and, of course, I uninstalled the Adobe iFilters as soon as I read that they may delete pdf files. Before the uninstallation I noticed the AR9 folders appearing on c:\ and moved them from time to time to another folder. Using the search function inside this folder, I found that all files were present in duplicate at least. I concluded, that after moving the AR9 folders they were recreated containing the same files. Consequently, these files cannot have been deleted. Searching for the origin of these files I found that they were part of pdf portfolios, therefore my conclusion that they are part of the indexing mechanism of the portfolios. What I have not done (and what I am not going to do since it is a production system) is to fill a folder with pdfs and track what is happening to the files.
In case of my server, I think that the iFilters did not delete any files. Of course I cannot say what happens on other systems. I am definitely not going to reinstall the iFilters before knowing what they a really doing to the files.
Not sure if this is of much help

ITunes loses songs with non-standard English characters
(I accidentally posted this on the iTunes for Mac forum. Same issue as described here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1593945
Any help greatly appreciated.)
I have just discovered that I have the same problem, however instead of changing the spelling, it has lost the files altogether. I cannot find them in the Music folder, and it only effects songs with different characters (ie. Sigur Ros, Jose Gonzalez, etc.).
I have no idea where the files have gone. It is really annoying, as I have loads of music which is like this, which now seems to have disappeared (they ar estill listed in iTunes, but it cannot locate the file when I try to play).
Please could you advise how I can resolve this issue?
Thanks,
JulesAnyone got any suggestions? Really irritating problem.

Vendor Evaluation With Non Standard Main and Sub Criteria
Hi Gurus
I have a requirement wherein I have to evaluate a vendor on non stanadard Main Criterias like
1. Productivity with sub criteria as Receipt / Excepected Yield, for which I have used Scoring method 2
2.Quality Standards with Sub Criteria,- Germination (%),Genitic Purity % , Field level flags, for which i have used scoring method 7 by activating user exit- MM06L001
3.Raw Seed to Clean Seed ratio, with the same sub criteria and with the above scoring method and user exit.
The weightages given to the above three are 40 , 35 and 25 respectively.
Can you please tell me how to calculate the values for subcriterias( for example for my main criteria 2. i want to assign the weightaghes for sub criterias - Germination - 50 , Genitic Purity %- 30, & Field level flags - 20, . along with smoothin factors.
I want to automise the whole process and run the evaluation in the background.
An early reply will be very helpful to me.

Can ims5.2p1 do sieve filter searches with non-ASCII chars?
Particularly, is it possible with the
Subject header line, which is
=?xxx?Q?xxxxx?= or =?xxx?B?xxxxx?= encoded
Resolved the fileinto foldername part, but
now found that seems like ims's sieve filter
cannot do non-ASCII matches... Thanks.Hi, back! Spent a few hours experimenting and found
that everything is working great (including the creation
of international non-ASCII foldernames) when I used
utf-8 encoding in the sieve filters rules for the
the match strings and the folder names... at least
so far so good... for your ref and sorry for bothering.
