ADE is a separate install for every user?

Hi, anyone can answer? ADE is supposed to be "lightweight solution" eBook reader. However, even though it's not a standalone application like Adobe Reader, digitaleditions1x5.exe it is still consuming almost 10MB. But worst of all, it seems to be a separate install per user, in Vista digitaleditions1x5.exe is in every c:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Flash Player\www.macromedia.com\bin\digitaleditions1x5. This means that if you have 4 family users on a machine, then the total space taken is almost 40MB. Isn't this ridiculous? Perhaps I have it all wrong, anyone can correct me?

Jim,
with due respect, you don't think that 4 instances of the same "lightweight" application on one PC (4 users on my system) is dumb? I mean, did Abobe imagine more than one user on a home computer when they concocted ADE?
Adobe Reader (AR) is accepted universally and I think every PC in the world already has AR installed (with the same DRM built-in as ADE) so, why have both (bloats, with multiple instances of ADE) taking up space?
(Like most of ADE users I cannot imagine how ADE is improvement or complimenary to AR for both end-users and eBook providers. I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful, it's just the question of "in God's name, why?" has never been answered by Adobe.)

Adobe Reader Pro 9 requires password for every user after seciurity updates?

Everytime I installe any Adobe Reader Pro seciurity updates like 9.4.3 and 9.4.4 on our Macs 10.6.6 and 10.6.7,
I had to input admin password for every user as reader is stoppng on install updates screen,
We have some hotmacs that are shared so it's a bit of a pain. Users don't have admin acess
to be able to install software on them.
How do I resolve this?
Here's what I tried. None of these things resolved the problem for me.
Repair disk permissions.
Restart the Mac.
Repair Adobe installation

Hi Sorry, the product in qusitons is Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.4 and 9.3.4 updates.
If you launch Acrobat Pro as the admin user, then authorise when requested, does that fix the problem for all users?
Or does this happen every time, for each user?
It does prompt for password for every user, thefore my flustration we have multiple editors using a Hotmac.
And we have to enter the password at least one time for every user after stupid seciurity update.
Presumably, Acrobat is trying to write to a location that Standard users don't have permission for.
Standard users don't have admin access to Mac but still I find adobe behevior very annoying.
I think this is normal enterpirse practise.
What happens if you allow write access to the Acrobat application folder and subcontents? Make sure you know what you're doing and how to restore it.
Would try this but still I would expect adobe to fix it updates.
Thanks,

How to create an default profile for every user on one machine? Deployment of configurations?

On firefox 3.5.X i can copy an configured profile from an user-folder to the programm folder of firefox. \mozilla firefox\defaults\profiles.
After an new user log in to the machine the default profile will get the actual profile of the new user. With all bookmarks, configurations and so on.
But this doesn't work with the firefox 3.6.10? What changed? What will be the way i can get an default configuration for every user on one machine? I want to deploy the firefox with an default configuration in our enterprise? Why does the behaviour change?
What to do?
Thanks...

No - there are no missing data, because nothing will be copied. The profile - folder does not work.
There are the standard first start behavior.
There might be another trick? Hint? Todo?
Thanks.

FM import into RH project creates a separate folder for every FM chapter

I am importing a FM book into RH 9 to create a new help project. RH creates a separate folder for every FM chapter! The folder contains the html and CSS. This is messy and useless since all html will point to a single help CSS for the project. It will be tedious to move all the html topics to one folder plus I will lose the FM link for future updates.
Did I miss a step in the import that controls how the project is created in RH?

Yes, this is deliberate - in fact most people want to sub-divide their .fm files into even finer topics - that's what the pagination setting in the Conversion Settings screen is for. Why do you want them all to be mashed together anyway?
I've only heard of one other poster wanting to stuff all their FM content into one folder - try searching the forums. I seem to remember there were a bunch of suggestions to things to do from either the FM end of things or the RH side.
The reason why Adobe did it this way was to give you individual control over the CSS to be applied to individual topics (even if most of us just apply a common one across the board in the SSL recipe when we create our help).

How to control the data to display for every users?

Hello Experts,
Im creating a module in ORACLE forms6i and I want to control all the data to display for every USERs. I have 1 Table and it has 5 columns.
My module has 5 columns and 5 rows of records to display.
Problems:
For USER1, I want to display all DATA in column3 and column4 only and all remaining columns shoud be null.
For USER2 , I want to dislplay all data in Column1 only and all remaining columns should be null.
How can i control all the data to display for each columns? Can you help me please. Im using the Clear_Items but its not working only the first row are null but the remaining
rows has its records.
Thanks.
Lala

I understand that you want certain columns not to show at all on the canvas when a certain user opens the form. Then, in the when-new-form-instance trigger, you should set_item_property(x_item, visible, property_false) for each item you do not want to be dislayed, depending on the user.

WHY PGA IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY USER ?

Good Morning Everyone ;
I have a question about PGA.
WHY PGA IS REQUIRED FOR EVERY USER ?
What i got from google ..
Even though the parse information for SQL or PL/SQL may already be available in library cache of shared pool,
the value upon which the user want to execute the select or update statement cannot be shared.
I cant realize it Can anyone show clear example , if possible ?
DB Version is 10.2.0.4.0
OS : oracle linux 5.5
Thanks in advance ..

Thanks aman and heok.
My Question :
Your explanation is clear. I think i am getting little bit confused.
Could you please clarify little more ?
>> session 1 :
user is HR
SQL>select * from tab1 ORDER BY name;
>> session 2 :
user is scott
SQL>select * from tab1 where ORDER BY name;
>> session 3 :
user is USER1
SQL>select * from TAB1 where ORDER BY name;
>> session 4 :
user is USER2
SQL>select * from TAB1 where ORDER BY name;
IS this right aman ?
Already sql statements are avail in SGA ,Even though all above users needs same information.
Oracle does sorting operation in PGA. If PGA exceeds , oracle will use temporary tablespace .
Thanks heok and aman.

Preference Panes - Install for all users, after the fact?

Is there any way to get an already installed Pref Pane to install for all other users once it has been installed for the main account? I am hoping for a way that doesn't require uninstalling the current Pref Pane and reinstalling, some have settings I don;t wan't to lose for the main account.

Thanks for the reply.
The app (Bamboo Dock) has installed in the root applications folder. When I'm logged in as the administrator I can see the proper icon in the apps folder and run it. however, when I log on as my son I can see the app but the icon is the default icon with the A and the pencil on and the app won't run.
I didn't have a choice where to install and the app did not ask me if I wanted to install for all users.
I was wondering if I could run the installer app from the terminal with sudo, then I would be giving the installer app the authority to write the receipt? I don't know if this would work or how to do it if it would.

How to Default what fields and assignment blocks appear for every user?

Is there a standard way to default what users see in the webui? We'd like to display certain assignment blocks, fields, etc without having the user go thru the personalization process. There are certain pieces we need to display across the board for every user and would like to set this up in advance of them logging into the WebUI.
Thanks in advance

Hi James,
With the business roles you can define what the user is allowed to see or do and not.
So you create your special user business role e.g. Z_USER_SALESPRO and then you can create a business role specific configuration of the views (add/ remove fields) or overview pages (add/remove assignment blocks).
If you want to you can also deny user with this business role the possibility to personalize their pages at all.
If you want to show information to all user in the same way then just maintain the default configuration in the enhanced component. As the WebUI always looks for the most specific key found within the configurations available.
Please make sure you work in default configuration of the enhanced component, else you change SAP standard cheat sheet.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Thea

Install for all users

Hope this is the correct forum for this question...
I have just purchased a Bamboo tablet and installed the accompanying software on my iMac as an Administrator.
I can use the installed application no problem. However, my Son, who has a standard account, cannot access the installed app. I tried reinstalling it while signed on as him but then the install failed because it could not write a receipt.
Any ideas how I can get this app to install correctly? Can I install it from terminal using sudo while logged in as my son?
Thanks,
Stuart

Is it possible to save System preference settings for every user that logins to a Mac OS X?

I work at a school and we have iMacs running Mavericks 10.9 in our environment. We have them binded to our Windows domain so that way students can use their own login to access the Macs. I have a number of System preference settings that I would like to take a effect, but I only see that these settings take effect for every user. So even if I login as the Main administrator account and set settings in System Preferences, such as not allowing the Wifi symbol to show, the next user that logins will still see the wifi symbol because the setting isn't taking effect for their System preferences. Does anyone know a way to get System Preference settings to take affect for every user that logins? Maybe a script?

Modifying the user template is not supported. You can Google for people who have done it in the past. I would recommend going to official route, if possible. Here are a couple of training documents. I'm sure there is more available though more official channels.

Setting up MPD for every user on the machine

I'm having a few problems setting up MPD. What I want to do is configure MPD such that it starts automatically at login using the current user config file (so that it uses the correct db) and stops playing and exit (to free port 6600) on logout. This way when a different user logs in MPD will use the correct database and playlists dir.
So far I've created all the needed files (.mpd/{.conf,.pid,etc}) in the home dirs of every user and followed this (MPD/Autostart with systemd/Current Setup) then I followed these steps for user1 (created the needed files in user1's home) Using systemd to manage your session (Should I repeat them for user2?). I'm using this service for mpd:
[Unit]
Description=Music Player Daemon
[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mpd %h/.config/mpd/mpd.conf --no-daemon
ExecStop= /usr/bin/mpd %h/.config/mpd/mpd.conf --kill #I expected this to stop mpd on logout
[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
The problem is that when I log out the music keeps playing which means mpd is still running. If I log in as user2 I can see users1 database (using ncmpc) but I can't control the playback e.g:If I want to skip the current track it stops playing.
Any ideas?

rodrigomb81 wrote:ExecStop= /usr/bin/mpd %h/.config/mpd/mpd.conf --kill #I expected this to stop mpd on logout
That will stop mpd when the service is stopped, which will happen when the user instance of systemd exits. So logout should do `systemctl --user exit`. (This might be mentioned on the wiki, but that systemd/user page is a big mess.)

Firefox won't install for all users in Windows 8.1; only installs for administrator

Since moving to Windows 8.1, I have been unable to install Firefox for multiple users on this laptop. Firefox installs only for the Administrator (me), and does not appear on any other user account. When I try installing from one of the other user accounts (after entering my administrator password), it simply won't install.

Check that Firefox isn't set to run as Administrator.
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".
Make sure that all items are deselected in the "Compatibility" tab of the Properties window.
* Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" should not be selected
* "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" should not be selected
Also check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

To create a room for every user or not?

My application requires that guest/participants do not need to login. They only enter names. Also the meetings are not scheduled. It's on walk in basis where host waits for the guests. In my case, I will have hundreds and eventually thousands of hosts. For every host, do I need to create a new room and allocate it to only that user? Is that how the rooms supposed to used or there is any other data structure such as groups which I can use? Are there limitations to how many rooms one application can create?

Same answer, you can do both
I wouldn't create a room per customer, but you could potentially create one room per agent. You'll need to build your own application that would allow your to select the correct agent given the customer needs, but you need to do that anyway.
Once you know the agent, again, having the agent always enter his/her room and wait for customers, or have the agent enter a random room and then pair it with a customer is pretty much the same.
Fixed rooms will save you to manage room creation/deletion (you will still need to create a room when a new agent joins a company and remove it when he leaves, but that can be part of the normal management of agents).
One feature that we are planning to add is rooms that "autodelete" when the session terminate, so you can easily create a random room on the fly and don't have to remeber to cleanup.
But basically I think what you do depends on a couple of workflows :
1) A host (teacher, agent, advisor) has routinely scheduled sessions with customers (or students). In this case it may be easier to have a fixed room for the host and direct the guests to that room for the scheduled session (again, using external authentication you can guarantee that only users registered or authorized for that session can join that room)
2) Two users (host/guest, agent/customer, two random users, etc.) wants to initiate an ad-hoc conversation. In this case it may be easier to create a room on the fly (or pick a room from a pool of existing rooms) and direct both users to that room.
As I said in the previous post the serverIntegration modules are your friends here: they have all the methods to create/delete rooms, create authentication tokens and in general manage your account.

WebStart Single Install for multiple users

Has anyone figured out how to solve the problem of having to install the software for multiple users now?
With recent versions of the Sun WebStart, the cache directory has changed to the user's personal directory.
It used to be that the cache directory was a common shared directory off the C: drive.
For the software we have developed, it was great to install once as the admin, download the files so that they are cached, and then copy the links to the all users desktop which pointed at that shared location.
Now there appears to be no way to do this. We've looked to find the default cache location to change it, but there is no way to specify this (that we've found).
I know I can change each user's cache directory to point to a common location, but it means signing on as each user and making this change manually which takes a considerable more time than it did before. Java WebStart was the EASY way to install the software before (and did not require a browser). Now it is harder than just using a browser with the plugin. We'd like to get the browser out of the picture though still.
I can see how this feature could benifit individual users who only want their own programs to show up , but we really need to make it work like before for ease of use. With the number of users we are dealing with, it would be very difficult to tell them to click on a link to install the program but only do that the first time, then start using the new link that is created by the program.
Any suggestions from anyone?

Sorry, I just realized this is in the wrong forum.
I'll go post it in a more correct forum instead.
