New HD fsck after 20 boot FAILs

Recently replaced HD1 when Smart Drive warned of failure after 7-8 yrs of use. It held Arch install so did clean install on 1st partition after using PM8 to format the partition as ext3. Install went fine. Today after 20 reboots 'forced FSCK' ran and showed 4 bad mozilla files and continued its thing. But a big red FAIL showed at end of the process ;and the system rebooted immediately to grub and Arch.
Is this of concern? Is there somethng I need do? Thx.

graysky wrote:You never have to reinstall Arch. Just boot to a live cd, mount the arch partition and tar it up to another drive or partition. Repartition your new drive with gparted-live (google it or search the wiki), then untar and you're done.
cfdisk + mkfs.something does a better job. Parted seems to make a big mess out of the partition layout, not that linux complains, but will make it hard to recover if anything bad happens (which it will).

OC4J_BI_Forms Fails To Start After Windows Reboot

Hi,
After upgrading the metadata repository database to 9.2.0.6 and updating the compatible parameter and creating a new pfile, my OC4J_BI_Forms server fails to start automatically after a reboot.
I can start the OC4J_BI_Forms server manually and it works fine, but would like it to start automatically after a reboot like it used to.
I checked the server.xml file and verified autostart is set to true.
I also checked the server's log files and opmn log files, but couldn't find any error messages saying OC4J tried to start and failed.
I noticed that OID is taking a little longer to start than it used to. Is it possible this lag is causing the OC4J_BI_Forms to fail starting automatically?
All other servers start fine after a reboot - only OC4J_BI_Forms is not working correctly.
Thanks,
Jim

As a workaround for this problem, I created a simple batch file containing the command:
<tt>d:\orahome2\opmn\bin\opmnctl startproc ias-component=OC4J</tt>
I then created a scheduled task in Windows Task Scheduler to run the batch file on server startup. So far it seems to work fine.
Would still like to know why the OC4J_BI_Forms instance is failing to autostart, if anyone has any ideas.

Takes up to 5 min "Applying User Settings" with events ID 6005 6006 after a reboot - Win Server 2008 R2 Standard 64bit

Hi,
Has anybody seen the issue below showing in the logs? The time for the logs messages switch from the real time (17:57) to some random time (10:55). There seem to be a disconnect with the time. I noticed right when the status message while logging in switches
to "apply user settings", the time get screwed up on the gpsvc.log file and switches to the random time (10:55) and keeps reporting that random time till "apply user settings" process completes and switches back to regular real time (17:57).
I made sure the server is synced up with w32tm /resync command. Tried different DNS settings. Tried dis joining and rejoining to the domain. tried to block inheritance on GPMC to that OU. Created new domain user. Deleted local profiles. All with no luck and
same behavior which is taking up to 5 min "applying user setting" only after a reboot. If I log in and out without reboot, it would log in just fine within seconds.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated!
Thanks,

The numbers in parenthesis are PID.TID of gpsvc.exe. So we see a thread
change, and this usually indicates that a different logon process has
begun. Could you try to map this log entries to events in the group
policy event log?
But to be honest: No, I've never seen such a behavior in gpsvc.log :(
I'm almost sure that a service is responsible, but how to identify it -
I don't know. There's no auditing for system time changes, AFAIK.

PowerBook G4 hangs after install/reboot with Combo Mac OS X 10.5.8 update

I've got a Titanium PowerBook G4 1GHz. It had Mac OS X 10.5.4 installed.
Then I went to Software Update and it downloaded the Combo software 10.5.4 and after it rebooted, it is stuck at "Installing 2 items, Configuring installation."
You can see the progress bar pulsating but it's stuck and I dont hear any hard drive activity. I had to hard power down and got back in and did Software Update again and after it rebooted, same issue.
Whats up with that?

Some general advice on updating Leopard:
It is worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, as they have all been extensively beta-tested, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
So before you do anything else:
If you can, make a full backup first to an external hard disk. Ideally you should always have a bootable clone of your system that enables you to revert to the previous pre-update state.
Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
Disconnect all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site.
The Combo updater of Leopard 10.5.8 can be found here:
http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
Full details about the 10.5.8 update here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3606
More information on using Software Updater here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.5.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.5.7 to 10.5.8. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
Now proceed as follows:
4. Close all applications and turn off energy saving and screensaver.
5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious! In fact a second restart can be recommended.
9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them compliant with the latest version of your operating system. Give them a week or two while you regularly check their websites for updates.
N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
[b]If you are updating Safari (or just have):[/b]
Input Managers from third parties can do as much harm as good. They use a security loophole to reach right into your applications' code and change that code as the application starts up. If you have installed an OS update and Safari is crashing, the very [i]first[/i] thing to do is clear out your InputManagers folders (both in your own Library and in the top-level /Library), log out and log back in, and try again.
So, disable all third party add-ons before updating Safari, as they may not have been updated yet for the new version. Add them back one by one. If something goes awry, remove it again and check on the software manufacturer's website for news of an update to match your version of Safari.
Most errors reported here after an update are due to an unrepaired or undetected inherent fault in the system, and/or a third party add-on.
Additional tips on software installation here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106692
To reiterate, Input Managers reach right into an application and alter its code. This puts the behavior of the affected application outside the control and responsibility of its developers: a recipe for problems. That's not to say that issues absolutely will ensue as a result of Input Managers, but you, as a user, must decide. If the functionality of a specific Input Manager or set thereof is really important to you, you may well choose to assume the associated risk.
Again, the advice is to remove all Input Managers from the following directories:
/Library/InputManagers
~/Library/InputManagers
especially prior to system updates (they can always be added back one-by-one later).

How Can i retain the Shared Variable Values after PC rebooting

Hi all,
I am facing a paculiar problem with Shared Variables. I have an application in which shared variables are used for data communication.
One of the application requirement is to retain the variable values eventhough PC is rebooted or started after crashing.
As per the my understanding, the variable values will retain eventhough the PC is rebooted. But here i can observe a paculiar problem like some library variables are retaing the values while some others not. I enabled logging for all the variables.
I tried many ways. like logging enabled, logging disabled, changing variable names, changing process names etc... But i am not getting a consistent behaviour.
I hope some you can help me in solving this issue.. "How Can i retain the Shared Variable Values after PC rebooting"
Thanks and Regards,
Mir

Hi Blackperl,
Thanks for the post and I hope your well.
What do you mean by not getting consistent behaviour.. this will all depend on excatly when the crash happens i.e. before the write or after.
Surely a better method would be to log the data to a file during the reboot...
I beleived the value read back
will be the default value for the shared variable's data type.
The LabVIEW DSC 8.0 module adds more functionality to the shared variable, including initial values and alarms.
If you enable an initial value on a shared variable, when the variable
engine comes back on-line it will default to this value. Setting a bad
status alarm for the shared variable is also a good way of handling
this type of event. Additionally, if you are using a LabVIEW Real-Time
target such as Compact RIO or Compact FieldPoint, it is appropriate to
consider hosting the shared variable engine on the real-time target.
These devices have watch-dog capabilities and are typically the
hardware controlling the critical pieces of an application. Most
Windows or PC-based targets do not have these fail-safes.
I guess, if you could explain to me again that would be great. From my point of view, if I have a cRIO and a Windows PC. If the windows PC crashes, the cRIO will still update its shared variables. Then once the PC has started up its own shared variable engine, and the bindings are loaded, it will once again continue to update its copies of the variables.
Please let me know what you think,
Kind Regards,
James.

Database Down after Server Reboot

Hello
I am getting a weird problem after I reboot my server (windows 2003) where by my database (10.2) does not automatically start. To get it to start I have to go into administrative tools >> services and then manually restart the OracleASMService+ASM (it says it is already running).
Thanks in advance for any Idea's/suggestions

Right;
After rebooting the server and lauching the OEM Database Control it tells me the following:
- Database Instance = Down
- Listener = Up
- Agent Connection to Instance = Failed ORA-12505: TNS:Listener does not currently know of SID given in connect descriptor(DBD ERROR: OCIServerAttach)
In response to your troubleshooting suggestions;
1. alert.log has no new errors logged in the past week
2. As far as I can tell, yes. It says the service (and other associated oracle services) are running
3. No I can not connect to the database with sql*plus (before I restart the OracleASMService+ASM). SQL*Plus errors:
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27101: shared memory realm does not exist
After I restart the service I can connect without any problems.
4. N/A
I appreciate any help you can offer on this matter.
Regards
Toby

[solved] sshd comes back to port 22 after a reboot whatever the config

The following may work for you as a shortcut to testing, instead of fully uninstalling each of those programs. It may also fail for some, but that's the worst that will happen, and it may save you a lot of time.
For any of the possible culprit kernel extensions, it is not necessary to completely uninstall the parent program.
You can temporarily uninstall any .kext, which may be causing the problem, by doing the following: Open Terminal in Applications>Utilties and copy/paste
sudo kextunload
Important, leave a space after kextunload
Next, navigate to the /System/Library/ and select Extensions. Inside that folder, find the related .kext in question, which you should drag into the Terminal window. (After dragging it in, the file will stay where it belongs in its original location.) This will automatically fill the Terminal window with the name and path to the file.
This is an example only of what the full command will then look like; it will not necessarily be found on your computer.
sudo kextunload /System/Library/Extensions/PaceSupportFamily.kext/
Hit return. If you have never used the sudo prefix before, you will get a warning, which you can disregard. Then enter your admin password, which you won't see on the screen as you type it in and hit return. Wait for the $ sign prompt to reappear, which will indicate the extension has been unloaded. Then just close the window.
This will have the effect of disabling the program. If it fails to be the source of the problem, to reload/enable it, substitute kextload for kextunload, using the above procedure.
Other than that, have a look at this article on resolving kernel panics. Faulty RAM is a frequent cause.

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

After replacing a failed hard drive with new one I inadvertently created a different account name(home/user) than the one in the Time Machine backup. Now I cannot restore the photos in iPhoto. What are my options?

The best thing to do would be to start over. Use Setup Assistant this time.
Boot into Recovery, launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot ?

Q: Why does a VRRP master with preemption disabled regain master state after the reboot?
A: This issue is found in the following scenarios:
1. When spanning tree is disabled on either of the VRRP controllers but enabled on upstream switch(es).
2. When the controller(any one VRRP controller) and upstream device(s) run different versions of STP.
3. STP convergence time is different across the VRRP controllers.
In these scenarios, rebooted vrrp master is expected to come back as vrrp MASTER as the link takes some time to converge and fail to receive VRRP advertisement packets from its peer and may roll back to MASTER.
Trigger for this is, since STP is enabled on intermediate switch and disabled on controller, switch is taking some time ~30 secs to converge the link while port on the controller has become UP and fail-over to Master due to
not receiving VRRP advertisement packets
In all these cases, it is advised to enable holdtime to mitigate issue. Holdtime has been introduced to tackle this issue in the "preemption disabled scenario".
Configuration via CLI:
(controller) (config) #vrrp <id>
(controller) (config-vrrp)#holdtime
Description:
The VRRP virtual router does not begin listening to advertisements until the holdtime expires. If your deployment includes a VRRP master with preemption disabled and an uplink switch is running RSTP, a higher value will prevent the VRRP master from regaining the master state after it reboots.
Range: 30 - 120 seconds
Default: 45 seconds

Hey Jim,
Thanks for the follow-up. Here are some more details:
OS - 10.8.2
FCP X - 10.0.7
I can't update either of these because of my Avid installation.
Something else I didn't mention – this happens in a 4K project. Notice how a default Zoom title looks:
Lines 1 and 2 are almost stacked on top of each other.
Here's my title style:
Here's what the title looks after I apply the title style, modify Line 1, and remove the contents of Line 2:
And here's how it looks in the exported master file MOV:
Notice how it's pushed down?
Then I decided to make a 720p project. No more title problems.
So if you have some 4K footage, Jim, give it a go. Or if there's another 4K-er out there, try this and let me know.
Thanks!

Some of my add-ons "return" to incompatible(oudated) after i reboot my system

I can successfully update those add-ons, and get them to work after restarting firefox. However, every time after I reboot my system, those add-ons return to their old states - incompatible

The Add-ons that do not have a Remove button are installed globally by another program and can't be removed or updated from inside Firefox. 
The others are installed via the Firefox Extensions Manager.
Read It Later 2.1.1 has a maxVersion: 4.0b9pre in the file install.rdf, but should install after a compatibility check on the update server.
That check gives <em:minVersion>3.5</em:minVersion> <em:maxVersion>6.*</em:maxVersion> , so it should work in Firefox 5.
*Read It Later: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/read-it-later/
Did you ever make changes to prefs to force an extension installation?
If Firefox isn't able to do a compatibility update then you can't install extensions that fail because of the maxVersion in the install.rdf being wrong and that need such a check to install.

Problem PAP2T reconnect after router reboot

Good Day at all,
I am italian user of VOIP system, and i find a big problem with the usage of
PAP2T adapter with italian NGI network and/or SQUILLO sip.
The problem is common to many many many, italian users:
when the WAN connection restart (after router reboot or temporaly internet failure) the adapter PAP2T don't want reconnect to the SIP server, i have test many configuration, and differet boot sequence of the router but the problem is always preasent.
but, if i change the SIP port with one other different, the system go online immediatly. when after this, i try to insert again the original SIP port, the systerm go down again.
(if i insert the original SIP port after Half hour, the system stay online)
I have disabled all protection and firewall of the router for test and make Port Redirect for all renge of port used form PAP2T but the problem is again preasent.
I have one XLS file with the detail of debug with all two cases.
At this poind i don't know if is a problem of server of NGI/SQUILLO (www.ngi.it) (sip.squillo.it) or is a problem of PAP2T firmware.
CAN HELP ME?
Best regards.

It seems to be the problem with a router partaially it is pap2t firmware problem. At least I had a long investigation on a similar problem. The internet connection drops, but pap2t does not know it and keeps sending NAT Keep Alive and Registration Messages. The Internet connection comes up with a different WAN IP. But the NAT table of the router (udp connections) is corrupted. This is a known problem in *nix, and many routers have linux based firmware. To restore udp packeges going out the solution is to issue
echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream
sleep 10
echo 180 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/netfilter/ip_conntrack_udp_timeout_stream
After a long correspondence with firmware developers of my router it was implemented in the router's firmware. I do not have this problem now. It can be also fixed in pap2t firmware. Pap2t should not send NAT Keep Alive Messages if the registration fails.

1in5 Reboots Fail

Hi
My pc appears to be running fine apart from one very annoying issue whereby about 1in5 reboots fail. The pc hangs just after it closes the MSI Bios Logo. I switch me pc off and on and it'll load the OS no problem. It doesnt particulally affect my work as I only reboot everyother day anyway, but surely it is an indicator that something isn't quite right?
Memtest86 finds no problems.
Any ideas?
Regards
SLICER

OK,
Then run the memories at 2.7v.
If the memorymodules are healty they can take that, even for long time run.
You can also test your ram with memtest86 to secure functionallity.
http://www.memtest86.com/
and run a torturetest with prime95 to see how it work under stress.

and don´t forget to test with another better PSU as well.
Sorry for the double post

Have to reinstall Flash after every reboot.

Windows 7 - IE9 - Flash version 11.0.1.152 - Plugins and OS up to date - ESET Smart Securty 4
I get prompted to install new version of Flash after a reboot, so it happens at least once a day.
I install Flash and it installs just fine and works until the PC boots up again.
I tried some of the following:
- Use Adobe Flash Uninstall program before installing
- Using standalone install program
- Checked ActiveX Filter and it was off...turning it on causes
   this same behavior, but the problem I have has nothing to do with the filter
Not sure when this started, but the user didn't have this problem until recently.
I am using ESET Smart Security 4. On all our systems, and his PC is the only
one that is having a problem. Need some pretty hard evidence before I bother
with uninstalling ESET just to see if that would help.
The part that is really strange...if I go to manage add-on's while it is working,
I see the Flash player there and Adobe's name there and that it is enabled.
After I reboot and go into the add-on manager, Flash is still there and still
enabled, but it now says "Unknown" instead of "Adobe" and is no longer
listed near the other Adobe programs. But then, when I reinstall it, that gets
"fixed" and now says Adobe again. So it almost seems like an IE9 problem
and possibly a corruption problem. No known problems with the PC. I suppose
that reloading the PC from scratch would fix the problem...at least I hope it would,
but I'm also not ready to do major surgery if there is an easier fix.

sorry no hablo ingless

I also downloaded that Nirsoft tool, and on my (64-bit) system I also only see the ocx and exe registered. But everything works well on my system. So I currently have no other ideas. Hopefully someone from the Adobe team will have a look at this topic.
