Bad argument #1 to "ipairs" error

Hi,
I use LR 2.1 on a Mac X 10.5.5.
I've been getting this error message: an internal error has occured, bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got userdata) when I try to use the create slideshows button in the Collections Panel in the Slideshow Module.
This happens mostly when I have reordered images to do the slideshow. The problem is intermittent, occurring about 95% of the time, so that I think it is fixed when it isn't. It occurs, though somewhat less frequently (maybe 85% of the time) if I have not reordered the images. It remains a major annoyance.
BTW, sometimes I can (and sometimes I can not) reorder the images in the slideshow module. Sometimes only in the Library module.
I have tried ALL that Adobe recommends both working with their tech support folks for hours and hours on the phone and by e-mail and on my own...
I've replaced the preferences file (any number of times), I've created any number of new catalogs, I've tried creating a new administrator file, I've created a tiny catalogue and just imported a few images etc, etc, etc. Each time I think it's resolved it's not.
Does anyone have any ideas about how to fix this or does anyone have any ideas for workarounds?
thanks

'IPAIRS' -Bad argument #1 ERROR UPDATE...
I originally posted here on 11/23 and after lots of long conversations with the good folks at Adobe and being "bumped up" to higher level tech support there is good news and bad news and I'm not really sure which is which :-)
The higher level tech support guy logged onto my computer, watched what I did (new catalog, safe mode, new admin file, 2 of adobe's images) and, after watching me, was able to recreate the error on his machine. I guess that's the bad news because the problem is now, clearly, not a bug that is in each of our hardware. Rather the bug is, as we were all figuring, in the program. It seems that the create web collection or create print collection or create slideshow collection, either on Mac or Windows, all give the same ipairs error.
(Oh, the good news is that means that I don't have to reinstall my OS).
Tech support's plan is to take this info to other people and at some point they'll decide whether to create a fix for the problem in the next, or later down the road, version of the program.
I'm told that the best way for the fix to end up happening is for EVERYONE who is having this problem to go to www.adobe.com and file feedback or a bug report. Squeaky wheels get the oil, as they say.

  • "bad argument was passed" message error

    Hello,
    I have a message "A bad argument was passed to a manager function. VI "VI name" was stop at node 0x1CA94 of subVI "SubVI name".
    I work with LabVIEW 6.0.3.
    I develop the application on my laptop and test it and there are not problem to execute the application.
    But on the industrial PC, the application plant and post this message when the application compiled but not when I lauch the application with the source code.
    If I delete the subVI and I recall it in my VI, that resolve my problem ?
    Thanks.

    I think what I stated earlier is almost definitely your problem.  I see in configuration cycle .VI and the Initializer case a case where you use a global variable called VI path.  I'm not sure where the global variable gets written to.  But the path of a VI looks different in the development environment then it does in a compiled executable.
    Development environment:   c:\myfiles\mysub.vi
    Compiled environment:   c:\myfiles\myexecutable.exe\mysub.vi
    By the way, when posting a large zip file like this with numerous sub-VI's.  It is helpful if you state which one is the main or toplevel VI.    It is even harder for someone who doesn't know your project to figure out which is the top VI when everything is written in a foreign language.

  • Error when running script to reset size - bad argument gettokenmanager

    Hello,
    I use RoboHelp HTML 8 (currently on 8.0.2.208) and have a project with a number of user interface images that are going to be translated. The translated images will likely be of different size, so I need to have a fast way of reseting all the image sizes in my project.
    I discovered Chasnikov's script "reset all images" on the thread:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/2128583#2128583
    which seems just perfect for my situation.
    Not wanting to test this on my real project, I made a copy in a different location and tested out the script. The script ran for a while, but then abruptly ended with the following message:
    Bad argument getTokenManager
    In looking at the output window it seemed like it stopped in the middle of a topic after going through a number of topics. For my test situation, I only replaced a few graphics in a few topics and when I checked this limited sample, they all seemed to be correctly resized.
    However, my concern is that if I use this script in my real project, it won't actually resize all of the images.
    Any ideas why the script is terminating abruptly?
    By the way, I did find a similar question about this error message in the thread http://forums.adobe.com/message/2551147
    however, the solution to add the line msg(filepath); to the script resulted in another error -- RH did not recognize 'msg' as a valid command.
    Thanks, Rose

    Thanks Willam for the advice. In the meantime I realized that there was something wrong with my project--because the word count script also gave me the same error message -- so I ran it on another version of the project and it was just fine.
    There are two questions that your response brings to mind:
    1. How are you able to see the line numbers in the script?  When I edit the script, it opens in Notepad and I can't turn on line numbers. I have discovered, that if I have word wrap off, I can use Goto and specifiy a line number to go to.  Are you using a different text editor?
    2. The reset size script doesn't announce that it is finished.  It just seems to stop displaying things in the output window, but it doesn't give me a message to say it has finished.  Can you recommend some code I could add to the reset size script to output that it has finished processing sucessfully?
    Thanks in advance.

  • [Solved]{scheme} Error: (/) bad argument type: # unspecified

    I'm working through Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and I've run into some behaviour I don't understand.
    The code:
    (define (average x y)
    (/ (+ x y) 2))
    (define (refine r g)
    (print "["r"]["g"]")
    (average (/ r g) g))
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define oldguess guess)
    (define guess (refine rad guess)) # problem line
    (if (= oldguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad guess)))
    It seems that when refine is called in the problem line the second argument is not being 'received' as I would expect.
    #;1> (sqrt-guess 9 1)
    [9][#<unspecified>]
    Error: (/) bad argument type: #<unspecified>
    Call history:
    <syntax> (sqrt-guess 9 1)
    <eval> (sqrt-guess 9 1)
    <eval> [sqrt-guess] (refine r g)
    <eval> [refine] (print "[" r "][" g "]")
    <eval> [refine] (average (/ r g) g)
    <eval> [refine] (/ r g) <--
    I tried (define guess (refine rad oldguess)), same outcome. At this point, I figure it's some consequence of applicative-order processing that I don't understand. But things got more interesting when I added a standalone call to refine:
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define oldguess guess)
    (refine rad oldguess) # new line
    (define guess (refine rad oldguess)) # (define guess (refine rad guess)) also works
    (if (= oldguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad guess)))
    Now the code runs as expected and returns an answer. However, if I change "oldguess" to "guess" in the first refine line:
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define oldguess guess)
    (refine rad guess)
    (define guess (refine rad oldguess)) # (define guess (refine rad guess)) also fails
    (if (= oldguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad guess)))
    the original error re-occurrs. In every case the 'standalone' call to refine gets both arguments as expected; it's the one in "define guess" that has issues.
    I'm not looking for help fixing the code, but for an explanation/breakdown of what's going on. Thanks.

    I believe that redefining 'guess' is confusing the compiler.
    You're right. That was my first thought too, but I swear I tried something like (define foo (refine rad guess)) which didn't work either. I just tried it again and it works just fine.
    I haven't been introduced to let yet, and the way it's parenthesized I don't really understand how it works. I think of let in bash terms (ie. let x++) so maybe that's my problem. Anyway, I'll wait 'till I come across it in the text.
    Using your suggestions I got it to work using only stuff I know:
    (define (sqrt-guess rad guess)
    (define newguess (refine rad guess))
    (if (= newguess guess)
    guess
    (sqrt-guess rad newguess)))
    Definitely cleaner. Thanks!

  • Bad argument openProject when running SaveAsProjectTemplate.jsx

    Hi
    I have created a RoboHelp 8 project template and rolled it out to the team for use in an upcoming project.
    Six authors have been able to load the project then, using the Script Explorer, have run the SaveAsProjectTemplate.jsx script to make it a project template. One author has attempted to run this script and been confronted with the error Bad argument openProject once they accepted the default location.
    The installation process was identical for all seven machines, it activated/registered without a hitch and all available updates have been run on the seven machines (we are all on 8.0.2.208).
    Does anybody know, please, why this error might be occuring on just one machine?

  • What does bad argument 0x10000003 mean on macbook pro

    what does bad argument 0x10000003 mean on macbook pro during boot up after a question mark folder appearing?

    At that point, I had taken one of the DIMs out to see if the RAM was the issue. I took it to the Apple Store and they said that the hard drive might be bad, so they wiped everything on the hard drive. After that, I was still experiencing the kernel panics. So another guy looked at it and said that it might be bad RAM. So I called the company and got them to send me more RAM and after inserting the new RAM, I still get kernel panics. I've been saving all the panic reports in a folder on my flash drive. Today I got a total of four. And then I got four the day before that. Mind you, this didn't start happening until I upgraded my system to Mavericks.
    I really wish there was a way I could post them all so someone could look at them, cause to be honest, none of the code in it makes any sense to me.

    Okay - had a look at the code. You do not need to explicitly set this paramater. UTL_MAIL checks for SMTP_OUT_SERVER. If this parameter does not exist or is null, then it uses the DB_DOMAIN parameter as the mail server's name.
    Hmmm.. not sure that that will work as the standard is to use mail.domain.com and not domain.com for the domain's SMTP server.
    Rather set SMTP_OUT_SERVER explicitly.
    PS. Correction. The code is buggy (no surprises there), assuming the unwrapping worked correctly. The code does not cater for a NO_DATA_FOUND exception, the code that assigns the DB_DOMAIN will never be executed. To be honest - this code looks like it has been written by an utter PL/SQL n00b. Which is of concern as this is a standard Oracle PL/SQL supplied package.

  • [SOLVED] iptables: bad argument "In_RULE_0"

    I'm creating my firewall rules on FirewallBuilder and I noticed it has an "anti spoofing rule" it creates as RULE_0. I'm copying the compiled rules and trying to create a rules file but that rule_0 is not being accepted.
    iptables -A INPUT -i enp0s7 -s $i_enp0s7 -j In_RULE_0
    iptables -A In_RULE_0 -j LOG --log-level info --log-prefix "RULE 0 -- DENY "
    iptables -A In_RULE_0 -j DROP
    The output is
    Bad argument `In_RULE_0'
    Try `iptables -h' or 'iptables --help' for more information.
    The compiled version with all other commands:
    # ================ Table 'filter', rule set Policy
    # Rule 0 (enp0s7)
    echo "Rule 0 (enp0s7)"
    # anti spoofing rule
    $IPTABLES -N In_RULE_0
    for i_enp0s7 in $i_enp0s7_list
    do
    test -n "$i_enp0s7" && $IPTABLES -A INPUT -i enp0s7 -s $i_enp0s7 -j In_RULE_0
    done
    for i_enp0s7 in $i_enp0s7_list
    do
    test -n "$i_enp0s7" && $IPTABLES -A FORWARD -i enp0s7 -s $i_enp0s7 -j In_RULE_0
    done
    $IPTABLES -A In_RULE_0 -j LOG --log-level info --log-prefix "RULE 0 -- DENY "
    $IPTABLES -A In_RULE_0 -j DROP
    Some have suggested I put my IP address in there, but that would required extra work considering my IP changes many times a day.

    Solved. Instead of using
    -s $i_enp0s7
    use
    -s my-hostname
    so
    iptables -A INPUT -i enp0s7 -s junior -j In_RULE_0

    What is the prototype of the function you're calling?
    void  Norm(uint8_t *Image, uint32_t width, uint32_t height, uint32_t Nx, uint32_t Ny, double *Norm);
    What does your LabVIEW code look like?
    Files attached. It simply reads in an image and calls the C library. This vi executes with a test-dummy dll that accepts the same inputs, and outputs a direct copy of the image; therefore, I can assume that the vi is fine and my inputs match the correct types.
    Are you using arrays? Is the DLL assuming that the caller allocates memory?
    Yes. I initialize two arrays in the calling vi and pass the pointer into the dll. Inside the dll, I dynamically allocate 2 arrays and deallocate them at the end of the function.
    I am sure that the arrays are initialized correctly in the code and the correct value and type are passed into the dll. I made sure of this by commenting out the real code, and writing a simple function to copy the original array into the the resulting array. The results were favorable and the array was successfully copied in the dll and the vi finished without errors, and with correct copied values in the resulting array.
    Is the DLL allocating memory for things like arrays that doesn't get released?
    Yes, I dynamically allocate arrays that are used inside the dll only. These do not get used by my calling vi, and as far as I know, they are effectively deallocated at the end of the function.
    Are you using the correct calling convention? 
    My dll is a .cpp file, but it is written as a C-callable function.

  • SMC bad argument error

    I'm using an early 2011 macbook running OSX Mavericks version 10.9.4. My macbook's finder freezes almost daily. It happens on random instances when I start streaming media (youtube, google all access, etc). First the browser crashes, and then the finder crashes and I just have the pinwheel rotating endlessly until I restart my macbook. I've checked my console, and I keep getting this reccuring message:
    7/24/14 12:10:13.000 PM kernel[0]: SMC::smcReadKeyAction ERROR F1Mn kSMCBadArgumentError(0x89) fKeyHashTable=0x0xffffff802227d000
    I understand that SMC is the system managment controller and that it controls things like fan speed.
    I remember installing an SMC fan controller a year or so back to make my fan ventilate my macbook a lot more when I'm gaming. Im guessing with the update of the operating system the fan controller is now becoming more of a bug.
    I've tried resetting the SMC by turning off the macbook and holding the leftside shift +option+control+ power button, and I still have the error message showing in my log. My macbook hasn't crashed yet, but I think it will later on today because the message is still there.
    Can someone walk me through to manually remove the fan control override?
    also, I'm really not opposed to reformatting my hard drive if that's what it comes down to.

    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
