Blank configuration files when installing from CD

I have archlinux already running on 2 computers, where have used the ftp installer, and I have not had any big problems installing with that.
But I have a computer only connected to the internet through wireless, which is why I would like to install from CD sources from the core installer cd, so I can configure wireless after installing.
I have tried this now on 2 different computers and on both I have problems when I come to the step for configuring the system.
The files are simply blank!
I found another having this problem in 2004 I think in this forum. He was told that this can only happen if you forget to choose DONE in some step or go back to an earlier step when going through the installer.
I have tried now 3 times and really taking care to do everything right.
I hope someone can tell me what I may be doing wrong or what the problem might be.

makes u wonder, I wonder if the CD would work with another file system, like ext3? If not could be that the CD is just bad in one way or another.
that's the only guess I have if it isn't the jfs file system.

CommandAction works through OnDeviceDebug, but not when installed from jar

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to run a HelloMIDlet example and if I run it on emulator it works fine, also when I run it on mobile through OnDeviceDebug from eclipse it works fine, but when I install a jar file and run the application it ends with Application Error message and it exits. I found out that the problem might be in the CommandAction method, because when I use this:
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
          notifyDestroyed();
}then the application works also when installed from jar, but when I use this:
public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable s) {
   String label = new String("Exit");   //just for test
   if (label.equals("Exit"))
     notifyDestroyed();
}then it ends with Application Error right after I run the program (and it works when I use OnDeviceDebug). I'm using jdk1.5.0_06 and WTK from Sony Erricsson (my target device is W800i, which supports CLDC1.1 and MIDP2.0)
My manifest file is
Manifest-Version: 1.0
MicroEdition-Configuration: CLDC-1.1
MIDlet-Name: HelloMIDlet
Created-By: Sun Microsystems Inc.
MIDlet-Vendor: Sun Microsystems, Inc.
MIDlet-1: HelloMIDlet, , HelloMIDlet
MIDlet-Version: 1.0
MicroEdition-Profile: MIDP-2.0
MIDlet-Description: Hello Worldand I don't use the jad file when installing the application (seems to be unecessary when you have a manifest file inside the jar). And I'm unable to debug it because when debugging then it works normally. Also I tried to recompile the BluetoothDemo and the same error(and works through OnDeviceDebug). And when I installed the jar file, which is originally distributed with BluetoothDemo then it worked. When I compared original jar file and my jar file then the only difference was in the size the class files (class files compiled by me were bigger then the class files in original jar file (which work)).
Any ideas guys and girls?

I tried that approach but it doesn't work either. I think maybe my directory structure is wrong.
C:\IRS\IRS.jar
C:\IRS\irs.hs
referenced: jar:file://C:/IRS/IRS.jar!/irs.hs
Am I doing this right?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?

Is there a way to control the quality of my pdf file when exporting from a .pse file?
Hi,
I have 2 pages in all in a .PSE file.
When I try to export it as .PDF, the quality is very poor. I cannot change it to a better quality.
Please advise how I can export the file so that i can have better quality.

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.

Getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on computers other than my Mac

I need some assistance. I keep getting blank pdf files when I try to view them on anything other than my Mac. I create them in either Illustrator or InDesign and I make sure that I select High Image Quality. I can view them just fine in my Acrobat reader, but the minute I send them out to others or view them on a PC with Acrobat Reader 7 i can't view them. I get this message "There was a problem reading this document (111)" Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Many PC users still use older versions of Acrobat or Acrobat Reader. I know some people that absolutely refuse to update beyond Acrobat Reader 4.5, often times, that can contribute. Also if you've run PDF Optimizer and removed all the fonts. That can cause a problem.
Also, make sure you save pdf's with the .pdf extension. As much as they say the opposite PC's need to see that extension.

How to access files in USB stick when installing from it?

I have prepared my installable USB stick (8G) from Arch 2009.02 ISO file, and copied some configuration files to the USB stick. Everything looks well.
After the Arch installation (not reboot yet), I want to access my configuration files on the stick, but I just cannot find them. Where has my USB stick been mounted to, and how can I read the files on it?
I am confused...:rolleyes:

lilsirecho wrote:To mount your USB stick you can mount it as root. Using sd(x) as an example, mkdir /mnt/sd(x) in /mnt...
Of course I tried this, but failed. Well, maybe what I said above is not explicit enough. I mean:
1. the USB stick is just the installable USB stick I used to install Arch;
2. not mounting the USB stick on the system I've installed, but just on the live arch linux OS that the installable USB stick introduced.
After all, I was booting from the USB stick, so it may have been mounted. In fact, I can find it by:
# cat /proc/mounts
In the output, my USB stick is /dev/sdb1, and the mounted directory is /bootxxx (not remembered, sorry), but I JUST cannot find this directory. So I was confused.
lilsirecho wrote:...Confused here that you used an .iso to generate a USB stick installer when the download archlinux-2009.02 is available in .img format for both i686 and X86_64...
Yes, I know there's an IMG file for USB stick. But I don't want to use it, because after I use "dd" command writing the IMG file to the USB stick, the stick became the same size (about 330Mb) as the IMG file. Then how can I copy some other files into this 8G USB stick?
So, I used archlinux-2009.02 ISO file. I prepared my USB stick by cfdisk, and formated it. I mounted the ISO file to some directory (using abc as an example), and copied all the files in abc to my USB stick, then installed grub on it. Finally, an installable 8G USB stick was made.

Wheres the old network documentation when installing from 2010 source?

wheres the old network style wiki resources for users who install from a 2010 source? Im installing from a 2010.05 core, and it uses the old network config in rc.conf.
example
#rc.conf
INTERFACES=(eth0)
eth0="dhcp"
gateway="default gw 192.168.1.254"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
#resolv.conf
nameserver=8.8.8.8
nameserver=8.8.4.4
i can ping my gateway and lan members, but i cant ping 8.8.8.8, so that makes sense why i cant ping google.com
am i just not adresing all the conf files, or is this a gateway issue? also, i couldnt get dhcp to work. I set it that way first, it wouldnt not grab an ip. Then once i set it static, and then back to dhcp, it reverts to the static ip either way.
[we really need a resource that shows up on a google search of "arch ROUTES(", or "arch ROUTES(!gateway)", or "arch INTERFACES=" because if users only have access to an older install source (i left my newer source at work, doh), we want them to be up and running, and updated right away]

Patches welcome :-)
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php?ti … did=111704 - it's not pretty, but you can look at the code:
==Networking==
* {{Codeline|[[HOSTNAME]]}}: Set this to the hostname of the machine, without the domain part. This is totally your choice, as long as you stick to letters, digits and a few common special characters like the dash. Don't be too creative here, though, and when in doubt, use the default.
* {{Codeline|INTERFACES}}: Here you define the settings for your networking interfaces. The default lines and the included comments explain the setup well enough. If you do not use DHCP to configure a device, just keep in mind that the value of the variable (whose name must be equal to the name of the device which is supposed to be configured) equals the line which would be appended to the {{Codeline|ifconfig}} command if you were to configure the device manually in the shell.
* {{Codeline|ROUTES}}: You can define your own static network routes with arbitrary names here. Look at the example for a default gateway to get the idea. Basically the quoted part is identical to what you'd pass to a manual route add command, therefore reading man route is recommended if you don't know what to write here, or simply leave this alone.
* {{Codeline|NETWORKS}}: This enables certain [[network profiles]] at boot-up. Network profiles provide a convenient way of managing multiple network configurations, and are intended to replace the standard {{Codeline|INTERFACES}}/{{Codeline|ROUTES}} setup that is still recommended for systems with only one network configuration. If your computer will be connecting to various networks at various times (e.g., a laptop) then you can configure profiles in the {{Filename|/etc/network.d}} directory. There are template files included in {{Filename|/etc/network.d/examples}} that can be used to create new profiles.

Man Pages when installing from source

Hello,
Whenever I can, I prefer to install applications by source following the steps:
1. sudo ./configures --prefix=/usr/local/app-name
2. sudo make
3. sudo make install
Everything runs fine (the only difference is the prefix parameter), but the applications is not automatically added to the PATH.
If the app should be available to all users I create a symbolic link in /usr/bin pointing to /usr/local/app-name/bin. If it is just for a single user, I added the location to .bash_profile file of the user.
Now I noticed that the man page of the app-name is unavailable, because the man page file is installed in /usr/local/app-name/share/man, in a location different from the rest.
Can someone help me to fix the linkage of the man pages? Where does the man command reads from by default?
Note: I prefer to install with --prefix to /usr/local/app-name because it's easier to remove the entire application when I don't need it.
Thank you.

Yeah... it worked like a charm!
Thank you Zerwas.
I marked as Solved but what if we want the man page to be available to all users without the need to edit .bash_profile? Can we create a symbolic link somewhere? (like I do with the /usr/bin) Certainly there's a default folder for man pages.
Thanks again.

Question on Oratab file when installing two Oracle instances in one machine

OS: AIX 5.3
DB version:10.2.0.1.0
I already have an instance of version 9.2 which is very important and which we don't want to upgrade and we wanted another test(unimportant) oracle instance called testdb_10gR2 of version 10.2.0.1.0 on the same machine.
So i installed 10.2.0.1.0 on a different ORACLE_HOME .Installation of the new 10.2.0.1.0 (testdb_10gR2) went ahead successfully and at the last step i have to log in as root and execute root.sh
I entered 'n' for the options "dbhome", "oraenv", "coraenv" as shown below so that the settings for our 9.2 instance (which is very important) will remain intact.
What would have happened if i entered 'y' ie. Overwrite ?
The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= oracle
ORACLE_HOME= /u04/testdb_10gR2_Feb2009
Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: /usr/local/bin
The file "dbhome" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) [n]: n
Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root.sh script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
During installEdited by: Citizen_2 on Jan 30, 2009 5:05 AM

'dbhome','oraenv','coraenv' are sripts used to set a proper environment (see the descriptions at the beginning of these scripts). These scripts rely on oratab (they check for existing SIDs), but answering 'Y' does not mean you will modifiy an existing oratab.
I think these scripts change rarely, so it's very likely overwriting the existing 9i scripts with the 10g scripts changes nothing. To be honest I don't use the scripts , so in my case 'Y' or 'N' doesn't matter. But important is you don't have to worry about 'oratab'.

Could not read Log4j configuration file when I run jar file

Hi,
I'm using Log4J in my application..
I configure the log4j, as follows;
PropertyConfigurator.configure("properties/logging.properties");and then go on to use it.
The .properties is in the root when I jar my source. I use Ant to Jar the file. It all works good when I run the jar file from ant.
The problem is when I run the jar file by double clicking on it, I get an error
" Could not read configuration file [properties/logging.properties]."
I tried the following options;
PropertyConfigurator.configure("/logging.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure("./logging.properties");
PropertyConfigurator.configure("../logging.properties");But in all cases, I get corresponding errors on running the jar file through Ant:
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [logging.properties].
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [./logging.properties].
log4j:ERROR Could not read configuration file [../logging.properties].
I want to be able to run the Jar by double clicking on it or through Ant.. Would any one know how to fix this issue so that I can use both methods..

Keep your properties file inside the root folder of your application.It is working fine

Firefox will not play .ogv video files when loaded from a server. Does anyone have any answers that will fix this?

I've read the suggestions for fixing this, and none of them work. I've updated my .htaccess to match MIME types for .ogv, I've uploaded the files as both Binary and ASCII, neither method works. The .ogv file plays fine when you load it from a local file, but it will not play when viewed from a remote server. I've confirmed with my hosting company that the .htaccess and all other issues for HTML5 are up-to-date. Safari and Chrome play the HTML5 videos just fine, but Firefox will not. Does anyone have any concrete answers as to what the problem is. I'm also serving up the video files as .webm and .mp4, but neither of these formats works in Firefox either.

That can happen if the server isn't configured properly to send the files with a by Firefox supported MIME type.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Properly_Configuring_Server_MIME_Types
Did you check via the Web Console which headers Firefox receives when requesting the .ogv file?
If that is OK then it is possible that the file is using an unsupported coding method.

"Could not write to configuration file" when config Publisher in admin tab

Hi guys,
I have install OBIEE 10.3.3.4 on an RH linux box (with OS user obiee) and Oracle Application Server 10.1.3.1 on the same box (with OS user oraias).
When I want to change some parameter in the admin tab of BI publisher (Administrator/Administrator as the login name/pass) and click "Apply",
I get the error "Could not write to configuration file". After I change the configuration properties to 777 the error is sitll there. And I also try to change the SECURITY MODEL to XDO, but still no use.
I made a test, for example, when I change something in admin--JDBC--Oracle BIEE and then apply, I got the error. If I update xmlp/DataSource/datasources.xml manually, the change can be seen after I reopen the page admin--JDBC--Oracle BIEE. That means I find the correct file and the file access properties is ok.
For other parameters such as Scheduler Configuration, I got the same error when apply. But the "Test connection" and "Install schema" work.
Can somebody give me some advise on this ? Thanks
Scott

Struts Support: "Cannot parse the struts configuration file" when using the Struts Portlet Wizard

I'm currently trying to deploy the struts-example webapp from Struts 1.1 RC1 into
Weblogic Portal 8.1 using the Struts Portlet wizard made available by the "JSR
168 and Struts Support" patch.
I select the struts module successfully "struts-example" and am prompted for the
location of name mangled configuration file (i.e "struts-config.xml" for struts-example
becomes "jpf-struts-config-struts-example.xml").
As soon as I hit next, I am prompted with a dialog informing that me that [Workbench]
"Cannot parse the struts configuration file."
Given that this is a file supplied with the struts distro and that I can deploy
the struts-example to Vanilla WLS 8.1 without problems I suspect this is a problem
with my attempt to use the Struts Portlet.
Can anyone please help?

How can i make Distiller autoname file ( when exprting from other application?)

hello everyone,
i have been searching for a solution for a long time please help me >
we have more than 100.000 docuents saved as pic on our network at work by using ( Laser Fiche). I wanted to save all files by using acrobat distiller but when i try to print a file i was prompted to enter a file name! but i don't want to... i want the distiller create a file name automatially.
in the preferencesd i unchecked ( ask for PDF .. ) but the problem is that all files saved were overwritten because distiller was imporing the file name from Laser Fich!
how can I make distiller ( autoname files like 0001 0002 0003 and so on) ?
forgot to tell you that i am using acrobat version 5 ( and windows xp + laser fiche at work )
thanks in advance

thanks Bill@VT -
it didn't work
I opened the properiteis of the distiller and uncheck the ( prompt for the PDF file name) so that the distiller can save files automatically . it did but by overwriting the files because the original files in the LASER FICHE have same names so the distiller saved one file only by overwriting ....that's why i want to make distiller to name files when saving them ( the distiller are imorting the files from Laser fiche only but i want it to autoname them )
i also opened distiller properites and unchecked the ( ask to replace existing PDF filename ) the distiller was always asking me to replace file ! and I can't do it this way because I have more than 100.000 docuents!
sorry , I know this is a very difficult question
but I would very happy if you can help me
hank you
