[BUG in coreutils-8.15] - Wierd 'du' behavior on my server ...

Suddenly, today I needed to know what's the size of the backup tars from my linux-vserver based vps running fully up-to-date arch linux and I can't seem to find out why 'du' is acting like this.

So, there are not that much files for du to return total zero. And this only happens to be happening to the '/media/tars' directory. Really strange.

EDIT: I ran 'strace' and got lines for each file within that directory that looks like this:

Is something wrong on my end or what exactly that means? Google did not clarify this enough for me.
EDIT: Edited the subject to be more relevant to the issue.

Further investigation showed that this is not happening with coreutils-8.14-1. I have installed 8.15-1 by running Syu on 2012-02-25 and after downgrading it to 8.14 'du' is working as expected.

Bug in my code or strange memory behavior ?

Hi, Guys !
It's been a while since I post something in this forum - trying to use your help when it's really needed.
So, here we go ...
(we use Oracle 8.1.7 on Unix box and SQL * Plus 8.1.6)
While back I wrote "core" PL/SQL package that resides in let's say DB1 database. It has RECORD_EXISTS_FNC function designed to dynamically check If the record exists in certain table/view. Assumptions are that you pass in :
Table/View name, Column name, and unique numeric value (because by DBA rules all of our Tables have SEQUENCE as a Primary Key. And I plan soon to put in overloaded function to accept unique character value)
Also every Table has SYS_TIME_STAMP and SYS_UPDATE_SEQuence columns that populated by Trigger before Insert/Update representing Last Update time_stamp
and how many times record was updated within same second.
(in case more than one User updates same record in same time - that was written before Oracle had more granular date/time). So function has SYS_TIME_STAMP and SYS_UPDATE_SEQUENCE parameters (optional) accordingly.
And It looks something like :
FUNCTION RECORD_EXISTS_FNC
(iBV_NAME IN USER_VIEWS.VIEW_NAME%TYPE,
iPK_FIELD IN USER_TAB_COLUMNS.COLUMN_NAME%TYPE,
iPK_VALUE IN NUMBER,
iSYS_TIME_STAMP IN DATE DEFAULT NULL,
iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ IN NUMBER DEFAULT NULL) RETURN BOOLEAN IS
TYPE REF_CUR IS REF CURSOR;
CR REF_CUR;
i PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT 0;
vRESULT BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
vQUERY USER_SOURCE.TEXT%TYPE;
BEGIN
vQUERY := 'SELECT 1 FROM ' || iBV_NAME || ' WHERE ' || iPK_FIELD || ' = ' || iPK_VALUE;
IF iSYS_TIME_STAMP IS NOT NULL AND iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ IS NOT NULL THEN
vQUERY := vQUERY || ' AND SYS_TIME_STAMP = TO_DATE (''' || iSYS_TIME_STAMP || ''')
AND SYS_UPDATE_SEQ = ' || iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ;
END IF;
IF iBV_NAME IS NOT NULL AND
iPK_FIELD IS NOT NULL AND
iPK_VALUE IS NOT NULL THEN
OPEN CR FOR vQUERY;
FETCH CR INTO i;
vRESULT := CR%FOUND;
CLOSE CR;
END IF;
RETURN vRESULT;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF CR%ISOPEN THEN
CLOSE CR;
END IF;
INSERT_ERROR_LOG_PRC ('CORE_PKG', 'ORACLE', SQLCODE, SQLERRM, 'RECORD_EXISTS_FNC');
RETURN vRESULT;
END RECORD_EXISTS_FNC;
So the problem is when I call this function from let's say
database DB2 (via db remote link and synonym) and I know exactly that record does exists (because I am selecting those SYS fields before pass them in) - I get the correct result TRUE. The other programmer (Patrick) calls this function within same DB2 database, within same UserID/password (obviously different session), running exactly the same testing code and gets result FALSE (record doesn't exist, but it does !) He tried to Logoff/Login again several times within several days and try to run it and still was getting FALSE !
I tried to Logoff/Login again and I was getting mostly TRUE and sometimes FALSE too !!!
I thought may be It has something to do with REF CURSOR that I use to build SQL on the fly, so I changed to NDS
using EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement - nothing changed.
vQUERY := 'SELECT COUNT (1) FROM ' || iBV_NAME || ' WHERE ' || iPK_FIELD || ' = ' || iPK_VALUE;
IF iSYS_TIME_STAMP IS NOT NULL AND iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ IS NOT NULL THEN
vQUERY := vQUERY || ' AND SYS_TIME_STAMP = TO_DATE (''' || iSYS_TIME_STAMP || ''') AND SYS_UPDATE_SEQ = ' || iSYS_UPDATE_SEQ;
END IF;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE vQUERY INTO i;
vRESULT := NOT (i = 0);
RETURN vRESULT;
Interesting note : when Patrick doesn't pass SYS parameters (Time_stamp, Update_sequence), or passes NULLs - function always finds the record ! (Statement 2 below)
May be it has to do with the way TO_DATE () function gets parsed in that dynamic SQL - I don't know ...
Here's the test code :
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON;
DECLARE
SYS_TIME DATE;
SYS_SEQ NUMBER;
bEXISTS BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE;
BEGIN
SELECT SYS_TIME_STAMP, SYS_UPDATE_SEQ INTO SYS_TIME, SYS_SEQ FROM LOCATION_BV WHERE PK = 1;
bEXISTS := CORE_PKG.RECORD_EXISTS_FNC ('LOCATION_BV','PK',1, SYS_TIME, SYS_SEQ); -- STATEMENT 1
--bEXISTS := CORE_PKG.RECORD_EXISTS_FNC ('LOCATION_BV','PK',1, NULL, NULL); -- STATEMENT 2
IF bEXISTS THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('TRUE');
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('FALSE');
END IF;
END;
I asked our DBA, he has no clue about this strange inconsistent results.
I debugged line by line, extracted that generated SQL and ran it in same account - works fine !
Does anyone knows or have clues or can help what's going on ???
I don't know If this is bug in my code or strange memory behavior ?
(Please let me know If anything unclear)
Thanx a lot for your help and time !

Bug in my code or strange memory behavior ?

Bugs present in Firefox 4's basic behavior that weren't in or were fixed in Firefox 3?

As a web developer, I encounter some quirks between browsers so I do expect having some inconsistencies along the way.
However, I do expect that by 'upgrading' from Firefox 3 to 4, I won't bump into issues that weren't around in the version 3 branch.
Note that for this test I disabled all addons, so unless the Web Developer Toolbar changes the browser beyond the scope of what can be disabled by disabling the add-on, I'm expecting these issues to be Firefox itself.
# 1) Having an <img> tag with an empty src atribute causes the browser to cause unneeded traffic. This seems to be a re-introduction of Bug # 444931, available at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=444931 . Ironically, it was fixed in 2009 as I can confirm on FF 3.6.17. However, FF 4.0.1 rediscovered it and tends to try and fetch pages that aren't there. True, images should have a src attribute, but then again HTML should be well-formed too. And we know how that turns out in real life.
# When viewing the source of a page with memory cache set to false, FF 3.6.17 just returns the current page's source code, as present in the browser. FF 4.0.1 under the same settings however issues another (remote) page request, actually potentially retrieving a completely different page.
Potentially? Yes, because aside from the fact that the server can randomize content on pages, the actual request being sent by Firefox doesn't even include the cookie data(!). So, we end up with a different source code than the one that was resident in the display mode.

Hey there. I had the same problem and I noticed the little white box went away when I was using the foxtab add-on. Then it came back after I stopped using it.
I disabled foxtab and haven't seen the little box since. I think it's a glitch with the add-on.
Before completely re-installing your browser as suggested above, I'd check to see if you have foxtab and try disabling it first Best, -T

Wierd button behavior: flashing between Up and Over, won't go to frames

I have this strange behavior with buttons. These are button instances, not movie clips used as buttons.
I created a list of buttons for a drop down menu. Created the first one then dupliacted the symbol to create the others. The buttons have an Up and Over state. I coded each button in the normal way - for example:
on (release, releaseOutside) {
gotoAndStop("M1-2S-1");
Problem: the first button works fine but all the duplicated buttons act like movie clips with no stop. They cycle between Up and Over states and the goto code does not work.
I an using Flash CS5, Actionscript 2.0

Do all the instances have unique ids? Are the duplicate buttons displayed as Movie Clips (check the Properties tab)? If you're using goto actions anyway, why are you using buttons?

Wierd system behavior after software update

For some reason I got this great idea to reinstall my system from scratch, last week.
I did two identical, redundant backups...both with Carbon Copy Cloner, onto 2 different external drive partitions.
Then, I reformatted my aluminum powerbook g4 HD and did an OS 10.5.6 clean install.
Before the install, i used Disk Utility to ensure the SMART status was OK.
It was.
Immediately after that, I did a software update, updating it to 10.5.8.
Next, I use Migration Assistant, to restore all my docs and apps from a clone of my original HD that I had made with Carbon Copy Cloner, on an external drive.
Reboot was OK and all my files and apps were back.
Then, being a diligent Mac user, I ran software update again, and saw that there was an apple security update and some other updates that needed to be installed.
I went ahead with that.
Now the mac won't boot...the spinning gear runs for 2-3 minutes, then all i get is the grey Ghostbusters circle with a slash through it.
But If I put my original system 10.5.6 installer CD in the slot, and reboot, System 10.5.8 restarts from my HD, after which I can then remove the CD from the Mac and everything works fine.
Except that, for every restart, I have to use the Installer CD.
And now I'm afraid to ever update the OS again.
I went back and did the whole thing over again in the same order...with the same results.
The system apparently finds something on the CD, that it needs, so it can start from the system 10.5.8 that's installed on my HD.
That's wierd.
In one sense this suggests to me that I was probably right in thinking that a clean system install was a good idea; it seems like there might be something awry in the old system, since as soon as I do the Migration Assistant, any further software update, hoses the OS.
About This Mac reports that I'm using:
System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L31a)
Kernel Version: Darwin 9.8.0
Just wondering if this might ring a bell with some Genius out there, who might have a simple fix, versus re-clean installing, then software updating to 10.5.8, then reinstall all my apps, then do the security update, and hold my breath.....over and over again, until I hopefully hit the right combination.
Or, I guess I could just restore one of the redundant backups, and forget about a clean system install...but now I'm getting stubborn.
I WANT that clean install! :-)

First, I would install the 10.5.8 combo update, which contains all fixes for Leopard. It's available from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866 . Often Software update does something odd, and applying the combo update fixes it. Repair permissions first, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again. You might try this with the system in the state it is today to see if it brings everything back into sync.

Wierd VPN behavior

I have a VPN server in my internal network, forwarded to the outside thru the actiontec fios router.
It works fine, but the wierd thing is, whenever i connect from a client machine, that machine becomes the only machine that can ever connect again - until i reboot the router.
Ive tried 2 different servers as the PPTP server and it behaves the same way. one client can connect, disconnect, and it works fine, but when i try to connect a different client, it just hangs like its not responding at all.
Reboot the router and wait awhile, and a different machine can connect, but then it becomes the only one that can.
Any ideas what could be causing this? I'm totally stumped.

Neither option should affect VPN. There would be a dedicated IPSEC or PPTP option otherwise. The next place I would check if it is a problem with the ActionTec would be the Firewall. If you go to the Firewall Settings and check the logs, if you remember what times you were having issues with the VPN do any entries there coorelate with your attempts to reach another machine?

Wierd Audio Behavior suddenly, stereo tracks now take up 2 mono tracks?????

So I start a new file, or open an existing file and all my tracks that have setero information all of a sudden take up 2 channels on the mixer, so if the audio is on track 1, meters for track 1 and 2 move. If I make track 1 a stereo track, track 2 disappears and says "Controlled by Stereo object "track 1-2""....now all my routing is messed up as this effects busses and everything...what gives? Is there something in my preferences that got changed? HELP!!!!!!!!

What the heck, tbird? Are you able to bend the parameters of time now, too? There was no post here when I replied with mine. Please, do share your secrets!

Wierd sorting behavior in report

I have a report with many fields, a region to show/hide columns, and a region for searching (scalar search fields and multi-select fields). Sorting by toggling a column header doesn't sort the field, it does something, but it doesn't sort. Something really strange is I have a column named CPU Count and when I click on the column header for CPU Arch, it sorts the CPU Count column.
I recently did the following to change NLS_SORT to BINARY_CI and
1. In the application attributes, I set the 'Application Language Derived From'
globalization attribute to "No NLS (Application not translated)", and
left the 'Application Primary Language' setting alone (English...).
2. Created a BEFORE HEADER and ON SUBMIT BEFORE COMPUTATIONS application level process as a PL/SQL Anonymous Block to force the NLS settings using ALTER SESSION commands. Set the Sequence to 0 for both.
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_FORMAT="DD-MON-YYYY"';
execute immediate 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_SORT="BINARY_CI"';
Could this have had any impact? I don't know if column sorting worked before I made those changes or not. Looking for ideas before I take this out.
Karen

Karen,
The good news is that we can see the problem you are having.
The bad news is that we're going to have to ask you to do a bit more work so we can get to the bottom of it. If you don't mind, here is the request from Marc (our reports engine expert):
"I tried to figure out what's going on with this report, but I don't know. My guess would be some combination of changed column sequence, conditional
display of columns and show/no show columns. I tried a number of different scenarios locally, but they always worked. And in the example that user sent
us, the first couple of columns seem to be working fine. I tried purging preferences, etc., but I'm still getting strange results for e.g. the usage
column. I would need to get a reproducible case set up on my local PC, so that I can add some more debug output to reports3.plb. So if this person
could provide us with a simplified example, incl. DDL script and data load scripts that we can install locally, I can a try to investigate this further. It would also help if the user could either step by step re-create this report, with perhaps fewer columns, without changing the column sequence at first, and only later hooking up column conditions, so that we can get some more information on when the sorting gets messed up."
Thanks,
Scott

Possible 1.3 Leopard fix for HP, but wierd Elements behavior

Please forgive me for copying what i typed on another forum, but it is a long process to type over again.
ok, here's hoping i dont jinx my latest luck by sharing this method before messing around with it some more. I have an HP 9800 so, of course, your milage may vary based on printer type. Here are several steps that i did in attempting to fix the issue of lightroom printing useing color profiles, I dont know which one fixed it. The first thing i didn was repair disk permissions, which i hadnt done since installing leopard and upgrading to lightroom 1.3. Then i unplugged the printer and went into the printers/fax part of system preferences and removed the printer from the box on the left. Then i right-clicked on it and chose reset print settings or something to that effect. Then I went to the library folder and erased all of the pre-installed printer drivers (which took a while, there are a ton of them that i will never use). Then i plugged the printer back in and ran software update. It found the current HP drivers for my printer. I did all that last night before bed. This afternoon I tried printing from lightroom, and while i had to redo my presets for the printing, I was able to print, using application managed colors, and get an accurate print that seems to be honoring the print profiles.
After that i tried printing in elements with profiles, which hadnt worked for me before either:
As an update, I just tried printing with Elements 4. Previously, while lightroom had a very yellowed out somewhat desaturated look when printing with profiles, Elements had a magenta, orangey cast. After following the steps above, the lightroom prints now look accurate, but elements now has the yellowy desaturated cast that lightroom previously had. This is good and bad as I use lightroom for bulk printing but elements for more accurate specialty prints. Must be something with the new driver pipeline that others have mentioned with leopard, and how the old drivers and the new drivers interact with that and each other, at least that would be my guess.
Anyone know why this fixed lightroom for me, and why elements printing wanst working since upgrading to leopard and still isnt? Thanks

go to the hard drive, the folders before you go into your user folder. Go to library, find the folder for printers and delete everything in it. I know hp is using software updater for drivers, dont know about epson. I then just plugged the printer in, ran software update, and got those drivers.

Wierd menu behavior

Please help, My intel imac has doubled up a few of the items in the apple menu, the Restart, the Shutdown and the Logout all appear twice. There also appears to be a black box surrounding certain items when I select them. I have reinstalled the system to no avial, I would be grateful for any suggestions.

Go to System Preferences/ Universal and see if something there is checked that shouldn't be. I'm at work on a PC and my memory is no longer good enough (like it ever was) to remember specifically what is enabled.

Wierd mouse behavior since installing Tiger

Since installing Tiger, the mouse I have (the standard one-button Apple mouse that came with my G5) has been acting up. Often the pointer will suddenly float away from wherever I'm pointing it (usually it will float to a corner). Is it a hardware problem or a software problem? I've only noticed it since installing Tiger. I thought it might be related to the USB Overdrive program, but I uninstalled that and the problem persists. Any advice?

Regardless of what Intego claims, test to see if it works better without their software. If it does, then I'd submit a support request to them. Firewall software by the way has one serious weakness, and that unlike firewall hardware, the software can more easily be manipulated than those settings on a hardware firewall.

Ghost links - wierd link behavior - any ideas why?

I'm having strange problems with links. Some work fine, but others do the following:
a) when you rollover them, display a blue box with a question mark, as though there should be an image there. Clicking it still works, but why the blue box?
b) when you roll over them, they show the title from a previous link, or a link somewhere else on the page. The link still points to the right place, but a rollover gives the name of another link.
c) Providing a link http address that is not even on this website, but I used on a previous website. I once opened this page with Contribute, and this may have caused the problem... but I don't know why. I didn't enter any new data.
Any ideas?

This problem I am unsure of. If you are talking about the browser autofilling an old URL for you, this is related to the browser history setting.
If you are talking about hyperlinks on your pages pointing to the wrong URL, then either emptying your cache or doing a "Publish All" will probably rectify things, as long as you are seeing the correct link in the iWeb program.

Wierd Cal behavior

Suddenly my calendar colors are all messed up. I reset them and they immediately revert. ***? Running 10.8.5 on 2011 MB pro

Thanks for your help so far, but still no joy.
It will not boot from an OS9 installer CD. I tried both internal optical drives (connected to an ACARD PCI ATA card) and an external SCSI drive (set to ID=3 and properly terminated). I also tried pressing the reset button, both with and without the battery installed and mains power connected. I uninstalled XPF and reinstalled it with no change. I tried both XPF 3 and XPF 4. My bus is NOT overclocked.
More details:
I have two HD, connected to the ACARD PCI card. Each has two partitions, on OSX (10.3.9) and another for OS9.2.2. I also have one HD connecte4d to the internal ATA bus with OSx (10.2.8) installed in the first 8 GB partition, and the remainder having another OS9.2.2 installed. Although I do a lot of fiddling with my Macs, I can't think of any hardware changes which could have triggered this.
This Mac has been rock stable with 10.3.x since XPF first was available to enable it to be run on a beige, so I am really puzzled.

Wierd LinkedList Behavior

Hello again:
Hope I can find help. I instantiated an instance of the java LinkedList class, then I added elements (i.e. a string array) to it using the add(Object O) function. I added approximately 5 elements to this linked list. However whenever I try to run a routine/method that displays all items in my list--it displays 5 elements, but all 5 elements are the same as the last element that I added to the linked list.
so for example say I added the following set of string objects to the linked list respectively:
egg
bed
leg
food
cat
my linked list would then display the following:
cat
cat
cat
cat
cat
very very strange. Here are pieces of the code I used to do this.
class someClass
static LinkedList arrayEEWRITE_QUEUE = new LinkedList();
//some code is here i.e. constructor etc.
public void createLinkedList()throws IOException
//some code is here
while (((line = in.readLine()) != null)
//some code is here that use string tokenizer to add tokens
//to a string array. Once array is full it is added
//to linked list
arrayEEWRITE_QUEUE.add(entry);
public void displayEEWRITE_QUEUE()
String[] entry = new String[ARRAY_MAX];
if(arrayEEWRITE_QUEUE.isEmpty() == false)
for( int k = 0; k < arrayEEWRITE_QUEUE.size(); k++)
entry = (String[])arrayEEWRITE_QUEUE.get(k);
for(int j = 0; j < ARRAY_MAX; j++)
System.out.println(entry[j]);
System.out.println();
class Main
public static void main(String[] arg) throws IOException, FileNotFoundException
     ReadWriteLine in = new ReadWriteLine("Test.txt");
     in.createLinkedList();
     in.displayEEWRITE_QUEUE();
The program compiles perfectly and does not report any errors, my only problem is as stated above. Hope to get some helpful suggestion or pointers.
Thanks

Since there are some methods you did not post here,
I just post a example of how to read the contents of a file
to a LinkedList and then print out the LinkedList, hope it helps:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class SomeClass
public static void main (String [] args)
BufferedReader r = null;
String s = new String ();;
LinkedList l = new LinkedList ();
// Should be a method to read the file
try
FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("Test.txt");
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(stream);
r = new BufferedReader(in);
catch (FileNotFoundException e1)
System.out.println("File Test.txt does not exist");
catch (SecurityException e2)
System.out.println("You do not have permission to read Test.txt");
catch (Exception e3)
e3.printStackTrace(System.out);
// Should be a method add Strings to LinkedList
try
s = r.readLine ();
while ( s != null)
l.add (s);
s = r.readLine ();
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace ();
// Should be a method to print out LinkedList
try
Iterator iter = l.iterator ();
do
System.out.println (iter.next ());
while (iter.hasNext ());
catch (Exception e)
e.printStackTrace ();

Bugs in BC CRM web service need to be fix (Server was unable to process request ERROR: A server error has occured)

I'm using the following code to retrieve order list is working fine but it give me an error Server was unable to process request ERROR: A server error has occurred when I trying to retrieve order total paid with same code: and the output when retrieve order total paid is [object Object]
var wsUrl = "https://mysite.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystWebService/CatalystCRMWebservice.asmx?WSDL";
                      var RetrieveTotalPaidXML =
                      '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\

                      <orderId>112345</orderId>\
                      </Order_RetrieveTotalPaid>\
                      </soap12:Body>\
                      </soap12:Envelope>';
                       $.ajax({
                        type: "POST",
                        url: wsUrl,
                        Host: "mysite.worldsecuresystems.com",
                        contentType: "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8",
                        data: RetrieveTotalPaidXML,
                        dataType: "xml",
                        success: processSuccess,
                        error: function(){alert("Error: Something went wrong");}
                       function processSuccess(ResData) {
                       var RetrieveTotalPaidParse = $.parseXML(ResData);
                       var $xmlRetrieveTotalPaidParse = $(RetrieveTotalPaidParse);
                       var $Order_RetrieveTotalPaidResult = $xmlRetrieveTotalPaidParse.find('Order_RetrieveTotalPaidResult');
                               $Order_RetrieveTotalPaidResult = $(this).find('Order_RetrieveTotalPaidResult').text();
                               $('#RetrieveTotalPaidResult').text(Order_RetrieveTotalPaidResult);
I think there a bug in BC CRM Web Service when trying to make a request for Order_RetrieveTotalPaid using soap need to be fix

Perhaps it would be good to update the sample request as shown on the Developer reference page for this method (and, actually ALL of the SOAP samples)
The sample shows siteid (all lower case)
