Amarok: breaks under pressure

When there is a high cpu load, amarok starts skipping, and sometimes it skips 20 seconds of the song... This never happened with BMP. It does the same with both the gstreamer and arts engine. Any ideas? Does this happen to anyone else?
I'm using kde btw.

My experience with amaroK 1.0 CVS version (I had a problem and built it myself) - output engines
1. gStreamer (alsasink) = ~38% CPU usage
2. gStreamer (osssink) = ~10% CPU usage
3. xine = ~6% CPU usage
4. switching back to the previous version I found out that arts uses also ~6% (I couldn't find the arts engine in the CVS version)
P.S. I'm using arts in KDE with real-time priority, one more reason for not to feel any interruptions during playback (when compiling for example).
I'm currently using the xine output plugin (using a CVS snapshot). I've tried researching on the CPU usage problem but I came to the conclusion something might be wrong with my gStreamer (btw, the package is flagged out-of-date) (mp3 codec problem) or with my ALSA drivers. I haven't tested with oggs.
I'm using kernel 2.6.7-ck7 (I've built it some time ago but didn't test its responsiveness - I have several kernels installed for testing)

[solved] kdemod-extragear-amarok breaks pacup for no reason

Hi!
For some days now the installed kdemod-extragear-amarok (2.0.2-7) breaks the 'pacman -Syu' command:
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kdemod-extragear-amarok: requires libgpod=0.6.0
But when I remove kdemod-extragear-amarok, do the upgrade and reinstall it again there are no conflicts.
I don't see a reason for this...
cheers

Yea-for a while know on startup Amarok complains about not finding libgpod.so.3-it will go ahead and start though...
KLibLoader could not load plugin:
libamarok_collection-ipodcollection
Error message:

Newbie under pressure...

Dear forum users,
a few weeks ago I happened to crash into JBOSS, Seam and EJBs by being officially declared as the guy responsible for the implementation of an installation-process and licensing of our new product, which is currently developed with the components mentioned before. I used to code in PHP, Perl and Bash for a couple of years now, and I once wrote a few C++ lines. So Java isnt a complete new world for me, albeit somewhat like the land behind the coasts I once saw... ;)
As the possibilities around Java and JBOSS are that multiple I hope that some one here could give me a poke in the right direction.
The product:
Our product is a web application which needs access to a MySQL-database and a SMTP-server. So quite rudimental for the moment. Both, database and mailserver access are configured in XML files outside the product.ear-file.
Installation:
So, what I currently have is:
- a EAR-file
- two XML-files
I need to implement is a command line process which runs on Windows as well as on Linux. I think that I would end up after the two XML-files at the moment. The virtual host, webserver port etc. are configured INSIDE the EAR-file.
How would you implement such a process? Unpack, edit the files and repack the application? Or is there a smarter way?
Licensing:
I suppose I should be counting on 3rd-party software here like http://www.smardec.com/products/license4j.html. Am I wrong?
Additional:
Last year I installed JIRA standalone for evaluation and I was pleasantly surprised how fast I got it up and running with an embedded webserver. At least, Id prefer a standalone version of our software if there is a practical way to put an JBOSS-application into standalone practice. Does anyone know how the JIRA standalone is structurally implemented? How did they do it?!
Any suggestions or links to tutorials would be greatly appreciated! :)
Thanks alot

Seems to me your build process should be able to handle this. Have one build for your EAR and another one for the standalone process. You could conceivably deploy the EAR exploded and simply have your standalone process reference the JAR files within. However, there are additional benefits to the two-track build. First, you can have common components in both (EAR and standalone), model components in both, web components only in the WAR that is deployed in the EAR and batch components only in standalone. Yes, it takes up a bit more disk, and yes, there is a bit of up front cost to making a more complicated build, and yes, builds might take longer. But you get a nice clean separation that may in the future help modularize your application even further. (Or you can go a completely full-blown modularized route like OSGI, but that has a learning curve).
Licensing:
I suppose I should be counting on 3rd-party software here like http://www.smardec.com/products/license4j.html. Am I wrong?
That is up to you. However, if it is a server app, then I am unclear why you want to secure it this way.

There are docs on JBoss on how to deploy this way.

Printing a JPanel (Under pressure)

I am trying to print a JPanel on which i have displayed information using drawString(). This works grand as long as the inforation all fits on one page. The problem occurs when i have too much information to display and it doesn't fit on one page. I thought that it would print the rest one different pages but this does not happen. Only the information that fits on the first page is printed.
I'm wondering is there some way of printing over multiple pages.
Any help would be really helpful.
Thanks.

Have you checked out the following webpage? Its from Manning's Swing book tutorial on building a word processor and theres a chapter on printing. It certainly helped me:

SMB client URL works in 10.4.10, breaks in 10.5 -- password not accepted

Hi,
The SMB client URL (Finder Command-K) that was working under 10.4.10 breaks under 10.5:
smb://DOMAIN-name;userid@Fully-qualified-DN-for-WinServer/PrivateSharename$
The symptom is that the Mac does connect to the WinServer, as I do get the userid/password prompt, with the userid already prefilled as DOMAIN-name\userid. But when I add my Windows password and submit, I get a delay and then a message my userid or password is invalid.
I know my userid and password are valid as they work from my PC, as well as from my Mac as far as establishing a Mac to PC screensharing session using MS Remote Desktop Connection.
I know that it's not a network, DNS, or WINS name resolution problem as I do get as far as the initial connection to the PC -- i.e. the userid/password prompt. As well I've tried using the Windows Server's IP address directly in the URL.
I've read the threads here and tried these variants of the URL:
smb://DOMAIN-name;userid@IP-of-WinServer/PrivateSharename$
smb://DOMAIN-name;userid:win-password@IP-of-WinServer/PrivateSharename$
I've tried the Ruby script to escape any funny characters in my win-password; but there are none anyways, and the output from the Ruby script mentioned in another thread are the same as my inputted password.
I've also gone into /etc/smb.conf and added the line suggested in another thread:
client NTLMv2 auth = Yes
...and rebooted. But that line is for Windows clients trying to connect to a samba server running on the Mac. I'm doing the opposite: trying to run a Samba client connection to a PC server.
Bottom line:
OS X 10.4.10 : no problem connecting to Windows server
OS X 10.5 : cannot
suggestions welcome,
...b

OK, so this SMB client URL (in the Finder, press Command-K) that was working under 10.4.10 breaks under 10.5:
smb://domain;[email protected]/share
so I added my domain name and WINS servers into the WINS tab of the Networking Preference Pane, and I was then able to browse our windows network in the Finder, find the above Win2003 PC server name, and connect! Yay!
So I went back and tried variations on the SMB URL above. Until finally this variation worked:
smb://domain;userid@server/share
Hmm. So server.domain.company.com which does resolve to the PC server's IP, no longer works under OS X 10.5 -- even though the same SMB URL worked in OS X 10.4.
Worse, while smb://domain;userid@server/share now works on the company LAN, smb://domain;userid@server/share fails over the company (cisco) VPN.
I speculate it's because OS X 10.5 is using the PC servers NetBIOS name above and therefore relying on various PC WINS server ports, whose packets can flow unimpeded over my LAN. But when I'm VPN'ing, the company LAN I land on blocks these packets and ports.
So after much tinkering, I returned to the Terminal.app and started reading the man pages about Samba, the open source Windows networking software used by OS X:
man -k smb <-- to look up all the terminal commands for samba
one of the entries this returned was:
nsmb.conf(5) - configuration file for SMB requests
Hmm, that sounds promising.
man nsmb.conf
returned a sample configuration file. I edited the sample file to include our windows "domain" name, and to map our "server" name to it's fully-qualified DNS name: "server.domain.company.com", and put this updated file, as per the man pages, in ~/Library/Preferences/nsmb.conf, and volia:
smb://domain;userid@server/share
now works for me to connect from OS X 10.5 to the "server" over our LAN and over our VPN!
This was a lot of work and not a general solution. OS X 10.4 was definitely better, but this is the only PC server I need to connect to, so I'm very happy that I don't have to uninstall Leopard and re-install Tiger.

Hi, I really need help with Adobe Bridge and am under a deadline (of course!)

Adobe Bridge is refusing to open for me. I've been using the CC for over a year now and have had no problems. I'm using it on a Mac Book Pro OS X 10.9.3.
I'm working in Indesign and no matter I tried Bridge would not open. I've tried force quitting it and restarting, checking for updates but nothing has worked so far.
Please can anyone help, I'm really under pressure to meet a print deadline?
Many thanks,
Sarah

Hi Omke,
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate you taking the time. Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem, however I was chatting with customer support and they were able to see it is a technical issue, so now its just a matter of contacting the technical support office when it opens.

How to insert a page break in smartform

hi all
i have to print only ten records per page. Is there anyway to insert a page break in smart forms?????

hi
To insert a page-break you have to Create a Node Called COMMAND.
Here you can Specify a Different PAGE as next page if u want.
Smartforms: protect lines in main window.
It was easy with SAPscript, but how to do it with SF's. For 4.7 version if you are using tables, there are two options for protection against line break:
- You can protect a line type against page break.
- You can protect several table lines against page break for output in the main area.
Protection against page break for line types
- Double-click on your table node and choose the Table tab page.
- Switch to the detail view by choosing the Details pushbutton.
- Set the Protection against page break checkbox in the table for the relevant line type. Table lines that use this line type are output on one page.
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option. All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page.
In 4.6, Alternatively in a paragraph format use the Page protection attribute to determine whether or not to display a paragraph completely on one page. Mark it if you want to avoid that a paragraph is split up by a page break. If on the current page (only in the main window) there is not enough space left for the paragraph, the entire paragraph appears on the next page.

Text Under Picture

I've dragged a picture into a cell and would like a name under this picture. I can type on the picture, but I'm trying to put a line break under the picture - and type there - all in the same cell. Anyway to do that?

It think these only work because of the difference in aspect ratios between the cell and the image. If you can maintain this difference, you can arrange to have some white background in which the cell's value is overlaid.
If you are trying to keep the text with the image, perhaps it is more natural to think of each image as a row, where the text associated with the image is in a second column. Perhaps additional columns would be useful for other information, like a database table with the columns being the fields and the rows, the records.

Smartforms: Page break in main window

Hello all,
I am working on a smartform that has a loop in the Main window which finally shows a table with serveral rows. I would like to have a page break if one group of lines doesn't fit on the page anymore.
I did some research on that and found the following solution:
Protection against page break for several table lines
- Expand the main area of your table node in the navigation tree.
- Insert a file node for the table lines to be protected in the main area.
- If you have already created table lines in the main area, you can put the lines that you want to protect again page break under the file using Drag&Drop. Otherwise, create the table lines as subnodes of the file.
- Choose the Output Options tab page of the file node and set the Page Protection option. All table lines that are in the file with the Page Protection option set are output on one page.
I did all this and activated the form. But when I go the generic output issue to see the form, following error message comes up:
Output could not be displayed (it may not be complete)
Any ideas why this is happening? (If I delete the folder with the "page protection" mark, then it is working fine again..)
Thanks a lot
Anne

Hey Anne,
If you are getting the error as soon as you check the box for page protection, it indicates that its not placed at correct position.
I think you placed the folder at a wrong node. I placed the folder under the main area of the table and placed the row types under the folder. Then i checked the folder for page protection.
Its working for me. I am working in ECC 6.0. I dont know if we have that provision in 4.6 C.
Create the folder under the main area of the table node.
put the row types under the folder and check the box for page protection.
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Back pressure due to version buckets: Exchange 2013

Hi,
My setup is Exchange 2013 CU5 on Server 2012 fully patched running on vmware 5.1 fully patched. The server supports around 50 users, has 16GB of memory, a 16GB page file and fast disk access to dedicated disks on a SAN. My vmware host has 96GB of memory
and around half is in use.
A few times today we got MSExchangeTransport warnings about resource pressure relating to 'version buckets' around the same time someone sends a large attachment (around 40MB). We have generous sending limits at 50MB due to the nature of our work.
The full message is...
The resource pressure increased from Normal to High.
The following resources are under pressure:
Version buckets = 330 [High] [Normal=80 Medium=120 High=200]
Physical memory load = 93% [limit is 94% to start dehydrating messages.]
The following components are disabled due to back pressure:
Inbound mail submission from Hub Transport servers
Inbound mail submission from the Internet
Mail submission from Pickup directory
Mail submission from Replay directory
Mail submission from Mailbox server
Mail delivery to remote domains
Content aggregation
Mail resubmission from the Message Resubmission component.
Mail resubmission from the Shadow Redundancy Component
The following resources are in normal state:
Queue database and disk space ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue\mail.que") = 58% [Normal] [Normal=95% Medium=97% High=99%]
Queue database logging disk space ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Queue\") = 58% [Normal] [Normal=95% Medium=97% High=99%]
Private bytes = 4% [Normal] [Normal=71% Medium=73% High=75%]
Submission Queue = 0 [Normal] [Normal=2000 Medium=4000 High=10000]
Temporary Storage disk space ("C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\V15\TransportRoles\data\Temp") = 58% [Normal] [Normal=95% Medium=97% High=99%]
Task Manager shows memory usage at 90% (14.4GB of 16GB)
We recently migrated from Exchange 2010 (with 8GB memory) and had no issues with back pressure.
I ran get-messagetrackinglog to cover a few minutes either side of this event being logged. There were around 150 entries. A single email was over 40MB in size. There were also multiple lines showing the same email, which does not reflect in the users mailboxes
(for example a single autoreply was sent from one user, but the get-messagetrackinglog showed 11 results). I have posted a question about this here also...
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/6425aa7a-4957-487e-ad7c-6aec5fe50379/getmessagetrackinglog-multiple-results-for-single-email?forum=exchangesvradmin
If a single large email caused the back pressure to kick in how can I prevent this happening in future? I don't want to simply limit my attachment size (as mentioned this was fine on Exchange 2010 and 2003 before that)
I checked EdgeTransport.exe.config and noted the following default entries
<add key="DatabaseMaxCacheSize" value="512MB" />
<add key="DatabaseCheckPointDepthMax" value="384MB" />
<add key="QueueDatabaseLoggingBufferSize" value="5MB" />
Would increasing these help?
Lastly, I have read this article (http://eightwone.com/2011/04/06/limiting-exchange-2010-sp1-database-cache/) and wondered whether it would be beneficial to implement a limit on the database cache? If so, what should I be aiming at for my setup? And is this
relevant for Exchange 2013? (I don't see a performance counter for Database Cache Size Min, or Max under 'MSxchange Database')
Advice greatly appreciated.

Found this in a different Exchange forum; worth reading. This thread was marked as answered. Good luck.

Time code breaks.

I recently imported a video to my hard drive using MacTheRipper. I wanted it to be in .mov format so I selected all the .vob files and ran it through MPEG StreamClip and chose "Export to Quicktime" [under the file menu]. This took about 20 hr to do and my end result is footage that "lurches" along (stops & starts every few seconds) and the sound is out of sink with the footage. I then desided to try it again by opening one file at a time, instead of all of them. Every time I open the first .vob file I get a message "Warning: the stream may have timecode breaks". So I ran "fix time code breaks" [under the "Edit" menu]: It says that it has found 11 breaks but they don't seem to get fixed. I keep running the "fix breaks" routine and each time it says there are still 11 breaks. There doesn't appear to be any "breaks" in the other .vob files but the first file seems to be messing up my sound/footage sink in the whole video. Am I missing something here?
My reason for importing to quicktime is to edit some of the video but I think this may be a wast of time if I can't resolve the sound/video sink issue. Any help is appreciated.
I am running a G4 466MHZ, 1Gig RAM, Quicktime Pro 7.0.2 w/MPEG2 plug-in, MPEG Stream Clip 1.3.1, Toast 5 Titanium, MacTheRipper 2.6.6

You mentioned that you didn't know what size the stuff was because you dumped the ripped image file, yet elsewhere say :
The "ripped" footage has 6 .VOB files totaling 4.59GB.
That sounds like an unlikely figure for a custom DVD-R (up to about 4.2Gig would be more likely)... just stick the DVDR in and get info on it for data/file sizes...
I suggest you look at dvdbackup, dvd2one and similar tools... which rip any DVD to an 'imageable' file, and squeeze 2DVDs worth of data onto one,
b respectively.
(dvd2one & similar will cost you quality - maybe too much with your material).
Toast is a great tool, but there are a lot of other ways to write DVDs
I would counsel that the best approach to your needs is mentioned above/earlier : simply dupe the DVD.
If you want to add /edit material you're getting into authoring - a much more complex area - particularly if you want to avoid transcoding/recoding etc... There are potential 'showstoppers': one example:- The commercial service might/probably have used tools not practically available to you - like hardware multipass variable bitrate (VBR) MPEG2 encoding (which usually gives smaller files and better quality). Most of the simpler faster tools (1 hr vs 30-90hrs) available to you are Constant BitRate (CBR) which normally gives much larger files.
In any event, you definitely want to avoid transcoding/re-encoding the original material - it's a very bad idea. (Simple 'assemble' edits, as suggested by other folks using a tool like mpegstreamclip to simply 'snip bits out' can be done to avoid most transcoding but you're still going to be confronted with an 'Authoring' task. Adding new material is unlikely to be straight forward for you).
My suggestion: simply dupe the DVD. (Fast, & There'll be no loss of quality at all).
If you have additional material, Author another.
Best wishes,

Exchange 2013: Back pressure event

Hello all,
yesterday evening we had a back pressure event in which the 'Version Buckets' HIGH threshold was violated and the mail flow ceased for about 15'. Trying to better understand why this happened we discovered that around that time the eventid 15004 was logged,
a large message (around 87MB) was sent to the server from an application and heading to a specific external recipient.
What I cannot comprehend is how this message (if...) produced all this since there are message size limits (the defaults, 35MB) and by my logic it should never reach the transport circuit - could someone please elaborate? my scope is to ensure this is not
happening again. Below follow the event logs:
The resource pressure increased from Normal to Medium.

And finally this:

** Did a Get-eventlog for 15004 and this has never happened before in the past.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Jsof,
According to your description, I recommend you use tracking log to find out why the large message reached your exchange transport circuit. It appears to be the root cause of back pressure event.

Amarok problem.....

Hi guys,
So, I'm having this problem where my collection in amarok would disappear everytime I start KDE ( I have amarok start automatically when I start kde ), I even tried deleting the whole amarok folder under ~/.kde and even the whole ~/.kde folder itself, but still doesn't work.
The thing is it just doesn't happen all the time, but sometimes, and when it happens I have to do a rescan everytime, and I'm going crazy because I think my hdds gonna die everytime I do a rescan, since it pretty old >_>.
Also sometimes for some reason it also stops recognizing what my collection folder is, so I have to go to Configure amarok --- > Collection and reselect my music folder.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

df -h give me this, so yes I do have enough space.

Itunes skips when processor is under high preasure

I realise there is only a finite amounth of processing power, but I don't have any problems on an exactly the same computer at work. Is there any way of giving Itunes more priority over the other opperations in progress.

If you are not on the latest iTunes, upgrade. I never got 7.0 to run without skipping under pressure, but the latest vesion is fine for me. Also make sure you are upto date with your drivers.
Apple offers this general help on playback issues:

Some virus checkers seem to cause problems, briefly disabling checking to see if this makes a difference is worthwhile. Exclude iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Muisc Library.xml if disabling virus checking helps. Mostly virus checking causes symptoms around tack change over.
If you have an identical PC at work that is OK, it might be worth looking for differences in set up.
A simple thing to look at which is a real long shot is: right click My Computer:
Properties>Advanced>Performance>Advanced.
Processor scheduling and Memory usage should be set to programs.
I don't want to get into the virtual memory side as it is outside my experience.
Good luck, but I am afiad this can be a difficult one.

Multiple Selects in a single form

I have six select boxes and I want them in a single form.
Below are the outputs for the select boxes.
<cfform
action="Resolution_History.cfm?year=#year#&sessiontype=#sessiontype#&btype=res"
name="form">
<select name="SRINPUT">
<option value="">SR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HRINPUT">
<option value="">HR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SCRINPUT">
<option value="">SCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<br>
<select name="HCRINPUT">
<option value="">HCR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHCR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="SJRINPUT">
<option value="">SJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findSJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<select name="HJRINPUT">
<option value="">HJR
<CFOUTPUT Query="findHJR"><Option
Value="#BILLNUMBER#">#BILLNUMBER#</cfoutput>
</select>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" VALUE="Submit" alt="submit
button">
</cfform>
Once a user selects a number it will send them to an action
page. On the action page I need the below IF statement to work so
it will set the variables. It isn't working at this time. Its not
bringing the values of billnumber, houseorig or the billtype.
Does anyone have any thoughts? I know it is close to working
and I need to set all of the inputs to input4 to generate my
queries so I don't have to duplicate them.
<cfif form.srinput gt "0">
<cfset s = '#houseorig#'>
<cfset r = '#billtype#'>
<cfset input4 = '#srinput#'>
<cfelseif form.hrinput gt "0">
<cfset h = '#houseorig#'>
<cfset r = '#billtype#'>
<cfset input4 = '#hrinput#'>
<cfelseif form.scrinput gt "0">
<cfset s = '#houseorig#'>
<cfset cr = '#billtype#'>
<cfset input4 = '#scrinput#'>
<cfelseif form.hcrinput gt "0">
<cfset h = '#houseorig#'>
<cfset cr = '#billtype#'>
<cfset input4 = '#hcrinput#'>
<cfelseif form.sjrinput gt "0">
<cfset s = '#houseorig#'>
<cfset jr = '#billtype#'>
<cfset input4 = '#sjrinput#'>
<cfelse>
<cfset h = '#houseorig#'>
<cfset jr = '#billtype#'>
<cfset input4 = '#hjrinput#'>
</cfif>

give'em a break. he is probably under pressure (like we all
have been). in response, i do not even see some of the variables
you are checking in the second script in the first. get this one
straight and i think it'll work.
