Bloatware and suspicious scripts on ix2

Hi. I've got a new IX2 that I am trying to upgrade, per instructions, to th 4.1.104 firmware. In order for the installation to run, Lenovo apparently requires more than 20 separate sites to be able to run scripts in the local browser. Some of them open windows offering to sell products, some of which are carefully disguised to look like necessary parts of the installation. Of course, if enabled, almost any of these sites could go hunting for sensitive information on the local machine and/or compromise the storage server. If one reads Lenovo's terms of service, it appears that they can enable any of this as a condition for using the web site or device and then take no responsibility for anything any of those other sites do.
The same issues affect the management console/web interface. Note, as one trivial example, that setting up email notifications asks for email login credentials. If supplied, anyone who has them can use one's mail server and name to send spam or malware (even without further access to the storage device) and, if the credentials for receiving mail are the same as for sending it, have full access to one's mailbox.
FWIW, use of these forums isn't much better: 28 different sites are allowed to run scripts and some of them are well-known agressive "the customer is the product" marketing firms with no imaginable (at least by me) reason for having access to machines using the forum systems.
Is there any way to get around this so that a firmware upgrade can be done safely and so that the management interface to the device (which shouldn't require access to anything off the local LAN) can be used with confidence?
Or is the price of using the storage servers complete exposure of one's data and systems to anyone who passes Lenovo a few dollars (or Yuan)?

Hello jk6423
What you are descibing is absolutely not normal behavior for LifeLine based devices.
When we have come across this in the past, it has been caused by malware on the connected computer, however the unit is operating normally.
I recommend using a mal-ware checking utility such as Malwarebytes (my personal go to) and unistall any redundant anti-virus, malware, or pc fixer, etc. applications from your computer.
For updating the unit's firmware please be sure to follow this guide, any step outside of this guide's procedure may be malware running in your browser.

Can't get conky-cli and bash scripts to both display in dwm statusbar!

I'm trying to configure my dwm status bar to display some simple information using conky-cli and bash scripts. At first I tried just letting conky run the bash scripts (for network and volume state), but this increased my cpu usage by about 5%, which is significant considering I normally have 1-3% usage when idle. Also, I wanted to keep conky because it makes the display of certain information easy, such as cpu & RAM usage.
The problem is I'm having trouble getting both to display side by side. Here are the relevant parts of my .xinitrc:
network(){
iwconfig wlan0 2>&1 | grep -q no\ wireless\ extensions\. && {
echo wired
exit 0
essid=`iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F '"' '/ESSID/ {print $2}'`
stngth=`iwconfig wlan0 | awk -F '=' '/Quality/ {print $2}' | cut -d '/' -f 1`
bars=`expr $stngth / 10`
case $bars in
0) bar='[-------]' ;;
1) bar='[#------]' ;;
2) bar='[##-----]' ;;
3) bar='[###----]' ;;
4) bar='[####---]' ;;
5) bar='[#####--]' ;;
6) bar='[######-]' ;;
7) bar='[#######]' ;;
*) bar='[--!!!--]' ;;
esac
echo $essid$bar
exit 0
volume(){
vol=$(amixer get Master | awk -F'[]%[]' '/%/ {if ($7 == "off") { print "MM" } else { print $2 }}' | head -n 1)
echo Vol: $vol%
exit 0
conky | while true; read line; do xsetroot -name "`$line` `volume` `network` `date '+%a %m-%d-%Y %I:%M%p'`"; done &
exec dwm
(let me know if it would help to post any other files)
For some reason when I run this I only get the network/volume scripts and date running, updating every second (I think). The conky line just doesn't show up. I don't know what could be wrong, since I didn't see any error messages.
An even better solution would be to just have shell scripts to display CPU and MEM usage. I have a dual-core cpu, cpu0 and cpu1. I'd like to see both percentages if possible, or at least a percentage that is an accurate average of the two or something. In conky-cli I have something that shows:
cpu0/1: xx% xx%
Also, seeing RAM usage would help a lot. In conky it shows:
mem: xx% (xxxMB)
These are the ways I would like to have bash scripts show them, if possible, but I have zero skill in bash programming. I made this an option in case it's easier/cleaner/less resource hungry than a conky solution. Personally, if they're about the same in these aspects, I would prefer something with conky and the shell scripts because conky is so extensible, yet it's only flaw is executing scripts with minimal resource usage.
Help?

Thanks. I was thinking of using load average to save a few characters, but I didn't quite understand the numbers. I'll try that once I get to my Linux box, but could you please explain or post a link to something that explains load average (what's low, high, normal, etc.)?
EDIT: I found a website that explains loadavg. I now have my dwm status bar displaying it perfectly (yay!). Now I just need to add a few more things like battery status, etc. and I might be done. I'll probably post here if I have more questions, though.
Thanks for your help!

Error with dbms_scheduler and shell script execution

Hi,guys.
I have an issue with a dbms_scheduler and a shell script execution. So, the shell script as it self works fine, when i'm executing ./test.sh all process is running, but when i'm executing the script from dbms_scheduler it just simply doesn't work. Actually it works, but some of executable information in sh doesn't work, seems it just jump over of the part of the script. Sendmail part is running, maybe there is problem with rman script as it self?
DB version: 10g
And my scripts:
Shell scripts (permisons 755):
#!/bin/ksh
export PATH=/home/oracle/product/asm_home/bin:/home/oracle/product/db_home/bin:/usr/bin:/etc:/usr/sbin:/usr/ucb:/home/oracle/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/sbin:.
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle/product
export ORACLE_SID=zabbix
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/db_home
${ORACLE_HOME}/bin/rman<<EOF
connect target /
run {backup recovery area delete all input;}
EOF
{       echo "From:[email protected]"
        echo "To: [email protected]"
        echo "Subject: Recovery area"
        echo 'Content-Type: text/html'
        echo
        echo '<html><body><table border="1" cellspacing="1">'
        echo '<tr><td><b>Process</b></td><td><b>Statuss</b></td></tr>'
        echo "<tr><td>RMAN</td><td><b>Works</b></td></tr>"
        echo "</table></body></html>"
} | sendmail -tIn the first part i'm exporting all of the important stuff for oracle, then I call RMAN with specific atributes. And then there is just simply sendmail functionality inside script to represent if script works (for now).
And below pl/sql script:
begin
DBMS_SCHEDULER.CREATE_JOB
job_name => 'FLASH_RECOVERY',
job_type => 'EXECUTABLE',
job_action => '/home/oracle/backup/test.sh',
start_date => sysdate,
job_class => 'DEFAULT_JOB_CLASS',
enabled => TRUE,
auto_drop => FALSE,
comments => 'FLASH RECOVERY USAGE AREA backup and delete'
END;
/And this job execution:
       begin
           DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name =>'FLASH_RECOVERY',use_current_session => TRUE);
       end;What can be wrong? For me, I think it's something with permisions.
I hope you got my idea and could help me.

There is no error, i just receive all the time e-mail, seems it jumps over rman. I tried almost everything and still couldn't get result as i want. And, if i'm running script from command line - it works. Rman calls, and starts to recover archivelogs.

Render and Email script

Hello everybody. I have a question that I have thoroughly researched on the web with no results.
I am trying to get the default After Effects "Render and Email" script to run properly. I have only been able to successfully send FROM one specific email address TO another (slightly less specific) email address. Most other email services I put in (icloud, gmail, etc) all give strange errors upon execution.
For the SENDING email address, I'm currently using one I created that is a part of my web hosting account (this is the only account I am able to successfully send from). For RECEIVING, I've only successfully gotten my gmail address to work. All other receiving addresses don't always give me error, but also never show up. Either that, or I get very weird errors. The most common one I get is "Unaable to send mail. 533 5.7.1 AUTH command is not enabled."
I haven't been able to find this error documented anywhere online. I'd like to be able to send emails to my icloud account, since it pushes email notifications to my phone in real time.
Long ago someone by the name of Ko Maruyama supposedly explained all this in detail, but the writeup was posted on a .mac website (http://homepage.mac.com/komaruyama/Tutorials/AE/AE_javamail/AE_mail.html), which Apple officially discontinued/took down several years ago.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

For Mac, the path is of course slightly different. If you cannot delete the file, you should at least be able to edit it in Extend Script Toolkit or any text editor or run the script separately to change its config data. Works for me...

Need flash player 8 and java script enabled to play videos on ipad, need help please.

need flash player 8 and java script enabled on my ipad in order to view videos. please help.

iPads do not directly support Flash.
You can look for Flash Browsers in the App store for some options to try. Support is not 100%, but maybe one may work for you. Browsers like Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
IPads do fully support JavaScript. Just make sure its turned on under Settings->Safari->Advanced->JavaScript.
If you require Java, which is completely different to JavaScript, again there are some browsers in the App store that support it. Search for "Java browsers" in the store.

ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently. What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action. You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

Degree Symbol and Sub-Scripts in XML

I'm more of a designer and really don't know that much about code. I know just enough XML to use it in InDesign, the thing is I am having trouble finding a way to use the degree symbol and sub-scripts in the XML data I import into InDesign. The HTML codes like &deg and &#176 don't work, InDesign tells me that they are "not well formed". I'm using UTF-8. Is there another encoding I could use that allows me to use symbols and subscripts?

if you use utf-8 simply but the real character into the data.
named character entities such as
°
has to be declared in your dtd.
with character entities such as
° or °
are working fine.

10g BPEL process upgrade to 11g hangs in Jdeveloper and Ant script

I have successfully upgraded several 10g (10.1.3.4) BPEL processes and ESB services using Jdeveloper 11g (11.1.1.6.0) migration wizard and deployed them to an 11g environment. Both 10g and 11g environments are up and running.
However, my 11g jdeveloper hangs when migrating the next BPEL process. It hangs at the message box with the title: "Migration Status". I tried the Ant script and it hangs too. It hangs after printing out:
"CompositeRefs
[upgrade] WARNING: UPGBPEL-02009: No Binding setup for : "soapCheckPrivileges"
. This will cause compilation of the upgraded project to fail. Check SOA Upgrade
documentation on manual steps necessary to bind this composite reference. If ne
cessary, upgrade and deploy any dependencies. If planning to retain 1013x nodes
in this projects dependency tree, check earlier part of this log for 1013x WSDL
URLs that can be used."
I guess it makes sense since Jdeveloper and Ant script use the same code base for migration.
One other observation is that if I kill the hanging jdeveloper process and reopen it and go through the migration wizard again, it will be successful without hanging. However, when I fix all the wsdl reference and do a build and deploy to sar. The resulting sar is defective and cannot be deployed to Weblogic even if both build and deploy to sar report success. The defective sar contains only scac.log and scac-log.xml, not even composite.xml.
One difference between this BPEL process and others I have successfully upgraded is that it depends on an ESB service (this esb service has been upgraded and deployed to 11g).
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I will answer my question. I killed the migrating Java process and the migrating wizard will report failure of migrating the .jpr file. Actually, the only thing missing in the migrated .jpr file is deployment profile which I can generate from deployment menu. And I can deploy the migrated process. This works as a workaround.

Adding AdSense and Other Script Based Items to iWeb Websites

For all those who are trying to figure out how to add AdSense and other script based content, here is a tutorial on how to do so. You can see this article with graphics and other niceties on my website:
http://keylime.ca/adsense%20on%20iweb.html
For now, here is the text-only version.
The following is a simple step by step how-to for adding script based items to iWeb based websites easily and quickly.
First things first, you need a tool to use for finding and replacing text in numerous files quickly and easily. This one works great, and is free:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/simplefindreplace.html
This tutorial will show you how to add AdSense banners--but you could easily add any sort of script based content with the same instructions.
1. Open your iWeb project.
2. Click on the Inspector. Click on the Page properties icon.
3. In the Header Height field, increase it enough to add your AdSense banner. The banners are of various sizes. You should know this value from when you generated your AdSense code.
4. Add a Text item to your page. Make the text item as large as your banner.
5. Add a unique string to your text item, such as mywebsitenamegoogleads. It is vital that the text string be unique and not be anywhere else in the page. The string must be the same in each text item on each page you will be adding AdSense banners to. You can center the text, but no not vertically center it. Vertically centering the text will turn the text item into a PNG file as opposed to a document division!
6. Cmd-Click the text item and drag it into the header. Cmd-Clicking an item allows you to move it into a footer or header.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for each page you will be adding AdSense banners to. Take note: Once you lay out your page header, you can select all of it, copy, and paste it to each page. iWeb remembers its original position, so you don’t have to move it around!
8. Publish your site to a folder. It is against the terms and conditions of .mac to have ads on your .mac account, so you will have to put your site on a regular server.
9. Open Simple Find and Replace.
10. Drag and drop the folder you published your website to into the target field in Simple Find and Replace.
11. Put your unique string from step 5 into the Find field.
12. Put your AdSense code into the Replace field.
13. Click Start Replacing.
14. Put your website online. That’s it!
I hope Apple decides to integrate a tool to make this easier!
Mac OS X (10.4.5)

Should be the same process whether you publish to .Mac or any other host. You're dealing with the same files in either case. Just follow the directions and you'll do just fine! Good luck!

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

Using Flach CS4 and action script 2.0 how do I advance to a specific frame of the main timeline when a movie clip instance come to the end of its timeline?

code on the last frame of your movieclip instance:
_root.gotoAndStop('whatever_frame'); // will work unless this swf is loaded into another swf. in that situation, you should use a relative path to the main timeline (eg, _parent or _parent._parent etc).

Search print program and sap script

hii , how can i find trigring print program and sap script for a particular purchase order.
regards Aditya
Edited by: aditya shrivastaba on Apr 14, 2008 9:59 AM

Hey,
First go with Me22 or 23 with po that you had, and then check with output type for that in the transaction. After that go to TNAPR table and check the corresponding form and print program.
Or else, go with NAST table in that put PO num in 123456 and put in OBJKY field in nast table. It will give you the output type of it, so that u can find the print program and lay out in TNAPR
Many thanks,
Raghu.

How to do changes in Layouts setting and SAP scripts to meet requirment?

hi SD gurus,
Please explain me how create and work with Z output .
where and how we do changes in Layouts setting and SAP scripts to meet the user requirments.
pls forward func spec of Z output
points will be rewarded
thanx & regards

you need ABAP skills to do this.
basically you need:
1) draw the layout on a piece of paper
2) define the fields you need and find out the corresponding SAP fields
3) check the document with the customer
4) give this specification to the developer
5) the developer will give you a program name and form name: place them in the message for the document.

Airport and Apple Script - on and off script

I've had this problem for a while, trying to turn the airport card in a computer on and off using and apple script. i need it to automatically turn on or off depending on which account if logging into the computer.
I did find that a solution can be found by writing an apple script to turn airport on and off. but my scripting skills aren't good and haven't worked thus far.
So now i'm asking everyone: Can anyone write a script to turn the airport on or off? I bet you can't. (there's some motivation for you)
I think it's my last resort, turning to other apple user and requesting help, because i have not been able to find another solution or a prewritten script (surprisingly)
Thanks very much for your help!
"i'll gladly pay you tuesday for a an apple script today."
thanks

I haven't used these tools so I don't know for sure, but doesn't Tiger's parental controls (in the Accounts preference pane) allow you to enable/disable network access by account? Would that work to solve your problem?
EDIT: OK, by starting a new thread I guess you got the same response that I posted for your previous thread. For those interested, this is a continuation of the thread kevin macky, "Account with and without airport internet access", 08:07am Oct 11, 2005 CDT.
If you are interested in trying to automate this, I suggest that you post your question in these areas:

Need a click and drag script for multiple layers.

Hi. I'm realitivly new to Flash and Action Script.
For a Majour project school asignment i am trying to create an interactive map for a hypothetical theme park, and i'll cut to the chase, i need a script that allows the player to drag the content of two or three layers around the screen upon mouse click, similar to this example:\
http://www.dreamworld.com.au/content/drw_2008_shopping.asp?name=ParkMap
I will have a layer for buttons (probably called Buttons) and a layer for the map graphic (Probably called Map), similar to this tutorial:
http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/interactive_map/
If anyone could produce, or has a script lying around that could do this; i would really apreciate it.
This assignment has a large impact on my UAI (universities admission index).
Thanks for your time,
Pat

Thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.
The problem is; this is the script i am using to make the map interactive:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
var cities:Array = ["muscat", "sohar", "dubai","abu_dhabi"]
function mover (targetX, targetY){
currentX = marker_mc._x;
currentY = marker_mc._y;
var xTween:Tween = new Tween(marker_mc, "_x", Strong.easeOut, currentX, targetX, .5, true);
var yTween:Tween = new Tween(marker_mc, "_y", Back.easeOut, currentY, targetY, 1.5, true);
for (var i = 0; i<cities.length; i++){
var my_btn = this[cities[i]+"_btn"];
my_btn.myCity = cities[i];
my_btn.onRollOver = function() {
mover( this._x, this._y);
marker_mc.gotoAndStop(this.myCity);
And when the buttons are made to be part of a movie clip with the image i am using for the background this script does not work.
The script is located in a layer called "Actions", if that is of any help at all.
Any ideas?
I am sorry if I am being a newsense.
Thanks
