Any simple workaround for the 'umount -a' bug?

On Arch 0.7.2 the installer seems to use a busybox version that has a bug (according to what I've read) or maybe busybox isn't built with the umount -a feature.
The thing is that 'umount -a' doesn't work so, after installation, the partitions aren't umounted which results in FS errors on the next boot.
As I'm developing an automated installation I don't use ArchLinux installation scripts but I stumble into this problem.
Anyone can think of a simple shell snippet to umount all mounted filesystems?
Something like a loop would do, but I can't think of anything simple.
Maybe I can even use an updated ramdisk or update/patch busybox on the 0.7.2 initrd.

all the time ive installed arch using ext3 as fs it does indeed a quick check during first boot but that always looks like wanted to me, and also is only maybe 3-4 secs long. what fs are u using in installation?
well that check is probably the result of the filesystem not being umount ed correctly. The problem is supposed to be a bug in 'busybox', the program that's behind all basic comands on the installation. If you try to do 'umount -a' it doesn't work (it should umount everything).
My filesystem of choice is reiserfs, and it does handle problems like this. But that's not the point. There's a bug that needs to be fixed.

Is there a workaround for the transform/crop bug?

Happy Tuesday!
Does anyone know a way to get around this bug?
- I have two video clips.
- One video clip (on top) is a talking head that need to be placed in a box on the other clip.
- Apply transform to talking head clip. Scale and change position.
- Apply crop to talking head clip. Bring in left and right so image fits in the box.
Everything is good so far...
- Apply same transform and crop to other talking head clips in same project.
- Crop fails terribly for second and all subsequent attempts. It seems like there is a magic area for which the clip cannot render.
The first transform/crop works fine...
All subsequent transform/crops, either mannually applied or from copied attributes, do this: (The collection of icons are inside the box and is showing through from the bottom clip.)
If I drag the image around the screen, there seems to be a "magic area." If the image is in the magic area, everything is fine. If the image approached any edge of the screen, the bad crop effect happens. Here I have dragged the transform near the bottom left corner of the screen:
I have played with crop settings and the way the crop jumps, there seems to be some kind of logic bug in the cropping code, particularly with transform/crop combinations. Any help would be appreciated! This bug is a show-stopper, and I'm on a fairly tight schedule. Does anyone know of a way to get around this bug?
Tom

I guess, I'm of no help here.. I can crop and transform like crazy - no issues
I also tried your 'special' method, to crop/transform the main storyline (=what I wouldn't do) ... but the attached other clips appear without problems:
and after that 'arrangement', another one - no issues:
tsphillips wrote:
… Perhaps an interesting experiment would be to see what it takes to make a clip render outside of it's crop box.
here you lost me - in translation, sorry:
a clip OUTside its crop??
outside a crop is nothing, that's what a crop is for… shouldn't it?
cropping means; cutting-off parts of the pic, that icon is a passépartout..
so, outside a crop is … nothing to see here, Sir..
Sorry, of being no help here......
Would be interesting, what Cupertino will andswer you..........

Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?

I have a client that would like a Flash animation that's 5440
pixels wide, to span 3 widescreen monitors for a tradeshow
presentation. Flash won't let me make the stage any bigger than
2880 - does anyone know any ways around that limit?
I Googled it and found out that you used to be able to scale
the SWF beyond 2880 in an HTML file, and it would show well using
Flash Player 7, but apparently that trick no longer works in
Players 8+.
Any other ways to make a single SWF that can span 3 large
monitors?
Thanks in advance,
- Frank

The problem here is the legacy flash document size constraint of 2880 x 2880 pixels. Why is this limitation still in place? Most screen have landscape orientation and we have this square constraint that turns out to be a waste if you are developing for larger screen displays and anything that is 4:3 or 16:9. Something does not add up here. What if someone needs to make a dual wide screen HD show that measured 3840 x 1080 pixels? We can do setup documents at 3840 x 1080 pixels in PowerPoint, PDF, Silverlight (at least this is what I have read regarding Silverlight), but not in Flash. Why not?
If Flash is a platform… then it needs to spread its wings a bit and embrace all the potential uses that are non-web. Flash represents multimedia delivery to millions, but shackling it to the 2880 x 2880 pixel limitation for a document size is problem for many people now and looming for those working toward have the flash engine as a core component in media delivery. At least give us a dual Wide screen monitor resolution of 3840 x 1080 pixels instead of a square of 2880 x 2880 pixels – which no one really uses (at least I have not seen any sqaure screens lately). Hey, if Adobe decided to shave off on the unused pixels from the 2880 height (2880 – 1080 = 1800) of the format you get an additional 1800 pixels that could applied where it is needed – to the width of the document size… giving us a 4680 x 1080 pixel document. This could then be used for immersive simulation, game situations, and real-world wide-screen experiences.
Sorry I don't have an answer, just the same question. "Any workarounds for the 2880 pixel size limit?"

"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC" ...not really.

Hi guys,
My Flash CC crashes all the time, it's always been doing it since when I started using it on CS4, and I've somewhat given up on this bug being fixed, it crashes at least 20-30 times every document I create. I'm using a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen&Touch tablet and drawing a lot, I think the problem is that it can't handle this much drawing.
Anyways, it just crashed and for the first time after reopening I found this nice message from Flash:
"Adobe has found a solution or workaround for the recent crash in Adobe Flash CC.
Please click here for further details."
Excited, I clicked on it! At last, a solution! Amazing!
...but it just points to http://www.adobe.com/
... I don't understand.
What's happening? I'm genuinely puzzled.
Also, anybody else experiencing frequent crashes?
Thanks!
Ciao!

Yes, this is not good -- you're already mad when it crashes, then "We found a solution!" But, for me clicking on the link does nothing - no link even to adobe, just a tease - nothing opens.
It's bad enough crashing a couple times a day and losing work (I do save every chance I get), but then to get taunted with this bogus message, it's discouraging and exactly the best 'user experience' for a really expensive product from company that is all about helping professionals create good design/user experience ..
I like the way this is headed though! it just doesn't work right now.

I have updated my iphone 5 with IOS7. Now there is an update 7.0.2 on my cell and the size of update file is showing around 21.0 MB. I tried to update it ITunes but it seems it is downloading the entire IOS. Is there any separate update for the same or I have to download the entire IOS again?

Well when you download the update with iTunes it will always download the whole new version (in your case 7.0.2) even if its just an bug fix. If you already have 7.0 download the update over-the-air.
You already wrote that the update is only 21 MB, so its not the whole firmware package of 7.0.2 you get with iTunes.

iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

Airport Extreme- anybody have a workaround for the lack of Wake on LAN ?

I've read in a number of places that the Airport Extreme (and other Apple routers) don't allow for the standard Wake on LAN packet to wake a sleeping Mac.
Does anybody know of a workaround for the Airport Extreme that might allow for waking a sleeping Mac on the LAN remotely ?
Thanks,

Better workaround for the whine problem

I have discovered a workaround for the commonly reported electronic whine in the MacBook Pro.
As most will know, if you open PhotoBooth and run it in the background it will get rid of the whine. I also noticed that the same worked in ANY application that uses the iSight.
So, looking around the Apple website for widgets I stumbled across this . . . .
http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/webcams/mirror.html
It solves the problem!!!!! Runs in the background, in the Dashboard, takes up no resources also!!
Regards,
Tom

Didn't read that whole thread on the issue did you?
It also kills your battery life.
The issue I don't believe is related to the CPU directly but is related to the overall power drain on the system..it seems anything that causes the system to use more power 'solves' the problem.

My kids have figured a workaround for the internet access control

I was quite happy with Network Magic until my kids rendered it fairly ineffective by a simple workaround. The internet access control seems to be tied into each PC's clock. So, my kids simply change the time on the computer and ... Voila! Internet access whenever the parents aren't around. I was kind of hoping the internet access schedule would be linked to the time on the router. I'm hoping this can be fixed.
Message Edited by molsoncdn on 12-13-2009 06:58 PM

Hi, set your kids user accounts to not be admins, and set the BIOS password, this will migate that workaround.
My Cisco Network Magic Configuration:
Router: D-Link WBR-2310 A1 FW:1.04, connected to Comcast High Speed Internet
Desktop, iMac: NM is on the Windows Partition, using Boot camp to access Windows, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit RTM, Broadcom Wireless N Card, McAfee Personal Firewall 2009,
Mac Partition of the iMac is using Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard
Laptop: Windows XP Pro SP3, Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG, McAfee Personal Firewall 2008
Please note that though I am a beta tester for Network Magic, I am not a employee of Linksys/Cisco and am volunteering my time here to help other NM users.

Simple name for the portal path

Hello.
Is is possible to setup Apache as to have a simple name for the http:\\servername\pls\etc.etc.etc. address? How do i set this up?
Thx.

Thx, but i wanted something like this:
the address
http://<servername>:<portnumber>/pls/portal30/etc.etc.etc.
should be contacted only by typing the following address:
http:/portal
The homepage of Portal should be shown then. I managed it now, but that is not the right way. Normally, when you type the servername, you will see an information page on Apache. I edited that page, so that it redirects in zero seconds to the url where portal is running.
But that is not a real nice way to do it. Any ideas?

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
Please do let me know: [email protected]

Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords?

Is there a workaround for the missing global track chords? i.e. will Apple loops follow the chord progression in a track?

I found sort of a work around. I still have Logic Pro 9. It turns out that if you go into global tracks, analyze the chords then go back to logic pro x the chord progression is preserved. So the information is preserved there just seems no way to create it in X.

Workaround for the Fade/Appear blocky text problem in IE

Just wanted to share with folks a workaround for the IE
"blocky text" problem that you see when using Fade effects like the
one used in this example:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/DetailRegionEffectsSample.html
It turns out if you set the 'background' CSS property on the
element you are fading, that IE properly renders the text. So to
fix the effects sample above, all you would have to do is modify
this CSS rule in the file to place a background color on the
description region to get things to look good in IE:
#description {
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
background: white;
So if folks have been avoiding the use of effects because it
makes things look terrible in IE, you now have a workaround.
--== Kin ==--

I was using spry's AppearFade effect to transition between
"slides" in what equates to a viewstack that I created.
Then I noticed that it would take bold text in IE and make it
look all smudgy or blurry.
Well, after working on it for a while, I got to thinking,
"This problem is specific to text rendered in MicroSofts
browser"... "Hmmm, I wonder".
So, I tried using this style rule: [ font-family:"MS Sans
Serif",Arial, Geneva, sans-serif; ].
Lo and behold, feed the stupid MS browser an MS font and it
does not blur the text.
I just wanted to get this our there. Because someone might
want to solve this in a way where they don't have to set a
background color...

Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue?

Has there been any helpful remedy for the ghost typing issue? Where the ipad starts typing on its own and screens moving around the screen?
I have had the ipad 1 for a while- and it started about 5 months ago. Anything other than shutting down and leaving alone for hours work?

Yeah, well if you read that whole thread you will see lots of posts identifying it as a hardware problem:
I'm the original poster on this thread. I ended up taking my iPad back to the Apple Store. They ran some diagnostics, and found that my RAM was almost maxed out, which didn't really make sense. It indicated a faulty processor, so they gave me a new iPad. I took it home, synched, and it only took about 45 minutes to synch 30 gigs of data. My original iPad took about 5 hours to synch for the first time. Clearly there was a problem with the processor in the first one, but I didn't realize it at first, as it took several weeks before it started exhibiting the erratic screen behavior. Hope this helps anyone else who might experience this down the line.

So i went to my apple store... which was PACKED. Found a manager and explained my problem. Without any question, they simply replaced it. Awesome!
-duncanwilcox
I have the same problem, and I found out what's wrong, it's not the software - restart, restore and FW upgrade will not help, it's definitely hardware. The best option is to replace your iPad assuming you have an apple store nearby…
-DarkDwarf
Just get your iPad replaced. It has a hardware problem.
