Command setenv boot-file ""

The command is putting "" in the field instead of making it blank. Any ideas?

yep,
not sure why its doing that but if you want to set boot-file blank as per default, do:
<ok> set-default boot-file <cr>
note: not set-defaults<------
hope this helps

Boot file for Windows 7 missing after windows 10 installation.

Hello,
Recently for the purpose of evaluation, i installed Windows 10 enterprise technical preview on a VHD mounted on a machine running Windows 7 64bit ultimate. Installation process went well but since then I cannot log onto windows 7 itself.
Machine loads directly to windows 10 without giving any option to choose the OS. When I checked the system configurations there is only one boot file displayed - windows technical preview - there is no sign of windows 7 boot file.
Wondering if anyone else experience any such issues.
If yes then how to solve this issue.
Thanks

Hi Mansoor Moin,
Can you give us more information about your situation?
Based on my understanding, you create a Native Boot to VHD on Windows 7 machine, right?
If so, this would be a mistake on deleting boot entry.
I would like to know if you can get the Windows 7 system partition in current disk management. If so, we can use following command to add a boot entry.
bcdboot F:\windows
F: represents the Windows 7 Operating system letter.

Adding simple commands to boot under systemd

now that the rc.xxxx files are gone, where is the preferred location for adding a simple command one might like to execute upon boot, e.g. "echo 'search somewhere.somedomain' >> /etc/resolv.conf"
obviously there are several ways to do this, i'm just wondering what a systemd expert would do.

Please read my posts more carefully. I never said that there is no valid reason to run a custom command at boot, I was just pointed out, in a part of my post, that your example was not the best one; that's all and I do not understand why it seems to affect you so much.
Anyway, forget about the bad example. I have tried to answer your original question the best as I could: to run a custom command at boot, you have to write a .service or use a general rc-local script but apparently you do not like the answer. What do you want now? I do not know if I am an expert but I have read enough of systemd to know there is no real other way: systemd take in charge every program that is run at boot via .services (or .target, etc...) files. So this is the way you have to follow to run a custom command at boot. Writing a .service file is not that difficult, maybe easier than to write a custom rc.somewhat file. Just take one existing .service file, understand what there is in it and modify it.
The post of ewaller give a method to create tempory files, often used by .service files (or the programs they launches); I was not under the impression that is what you really want.
As for the benefits of systemd, there are a few advantages. Anyway it is not me that I have decided to switch to systemd and discussing lengthy of the advantages of disadvantages of it would lead to nowhere.

Run 'echo' command at boot.

Hey!
I am trying to run the following command at boot:
"echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness"
So far I've tried in /etc/rc.local. That didn't work
Any thoughts?

I can think of a primitive way to do it, but there's probably a better (and simpler) way than this...
Edit ~/.xinitrc and add your command above the "exec ..." line:
$ nano ~/.xinitrc
echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness &
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
The "&" at the end should be probably added in, for good measure. Backgrounding this task is (probably) a good idea, else your GNOME session (or whatever DE/WM you use) may not start.
Then edit your sudoers file, so that it doesn't ask for a password:
$ sudo EDITOR=nano visudo
Defaults editor=/usr/bin/nano
root ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=(ALL) ALL
dspider ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/mount, /bin/umount
dspider arch=NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot, /sbin/poweroff, /usr/bin/pacman -Syu, /bin/echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness
The easier way is to use the "-b" flag from gtk-redshift (inspired by f.lux):
# pacman -S redshift
$ gtk-redshift -l 44.42:26.10 -b 0.5 -g 0.8 -t 6500:3800 -m vidmode &

Help please.

Got it thanks macjack . Command + S on restart.
In this case Nad69-Breizh did you try restarting with the option key down and re-selecting the boot drive.
If no Recovery option, try command option R for internet recovery. Takes some time to load up.

I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

Greetings everyone
as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating 8500 music files individually!
Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
This complicates you situation considerably.
iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
Step 1
Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
Location
These contain the paths to tracks.
You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.

How do I resolve: "Could not complete the Crop command because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop" error message?

Photoshop document created in current version of PSCC2014, now will not crop, resize, etc without throwing compatibility error.
"Could not complete the Crop command because the file is not compatible with this version of Photoshop."
How do I resolve without recreating the file?

Ooops. Hit save reply prematurely.
You may be able to open the flattened composite or the embedded JPEG preview of your file in Adobe Illustrator, GraphicConverter (Mac only) or some such application, but your layers will be gone.
The problem of working across a network is that it's not supported by Adobe:
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened

I recently learned to make gif images using KMPlayer and my Photoshop CS6, but today I hit a snag that I can't seem to get around. Normally I capture a scene from a show DVD I have in KMPlayer and then import the video frames into layers/frames in photoshop with no problem. Well today I went to do that, and captured the scene with what seemed like no problem (the small captured scene saved with no problem) but when I went to CS6 to import the video into layers, I got the error message "Could not complete the video frames to layers command because the file could not be opened". At first I thought it was the KMPlayer saving the files wrong, so I retried and got the same error message. Irestored the players settings back to a default and the file still wouldn't open in photoshop, and then I even tried uninstalling/reinstalling the player trying to get it to work, and then I thought it must be photoshop, because even scenes I had captured at an earlier day that worked perfectly fine when importing would not open.
What could possibly be causing this problem to occur. Should I uninstall/reinstall photoshop and see if that works, or am I doing something wrong?
The files I'm trying to import are AVIs as always, I even tried to capture scenes in other formats to no avail. What could be causing the problem?

I uninstalled an reinstalled photoshop totally and it didn't fix the problem either. I made a post on the KMPlayer's forum hoping for an answer but I haven't recieved one yet. I'm starting to think it's the kmplayer having a problem capturing, since I've started getting the error "could not import the file to layers because the file has no layers" sometimes in photoshop, but I'm still trying to work around in photoshop to see if the problem came from there.

When you installed iTunes on your work computer, then connected your iPad to that computer, it wiped what was on the iPad, then put the iTunes library (nothing) from the work computer onto the iPad. You can try copying the iTunes folder from your home computer over to your work computer, but since the apps were bought with a different account, they may not load or update properly.

Run operating system command for sender File adpter (NFS)

Hi All,
iam doing a file to RFC scenario, using 'Run operating system command' in sender file adapter to change the file name while archiving (after processing completed).
I mention OS command like this:
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
Rename.bat file calls a 'perl script' code.
when i run interface, could see below statement in adapter log ->
"Execute OS command "
sample_server\scripts\Test\Rename.bat"
but the script was not run and file name was not changed.
Please advice what could be the problem?
Does this mean script executed successfully?
Do i need install perl software on XI server, even perl script (.bat file) is executing on sample_server?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Rajesh

Hi,
Just check the following URL and give it a try again :-

Could not complete the export command because the file could not be found

When I try to save for web, Photoshop pops up a dialog box that says "could not complete the export command because the file could not be found".
What is the solution for this?

Please provide more information (Photoshop version, OS, target volume, …).
Does the file’s or one of the folders’ name contain problematic letters (slash etc.)?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

Why does the Reduced Size PDF command create larger files?

I have been a happy user of Adobe Acrobat vers. 7 until Adobe ceased the support of that version and I was unable to print and do other activities since my last Mac OS vers.10.6.8 update, so I was forced to upgrade to Adobe's Acrobat's X latest version 10.0.0. I had hope to be able to produce Adobe Acrobat 3D files but found out later that Adobe does not do that anymore and I would have to buy it as a plugin from Tetra 4D for another $399.00, oh well. I then wanted to reduce the file size of some larger pdfs I had edited. It took a while to locate the command location, now in File>Save>Reduced SizePDF, once I activated the command on my file it actually increased its size!! Why did this happen? Should I continue to use my disabled, Adobe unsupported vers 7 to get the superior performance I once had? This issue was mentioned in an earlier thread that started out as to where to locate this command but the resultant larger file issue remained unanswered. Currently unhappy on my purchase. Will Adobe offer a free upgrade to fix this?

I agree with Peter. Use Pages '09, but keep a document migration strategy present. When you create a Pages document in Pages '09, export it to Word .doc too. Export any current content in Pages v5.2.2, and then stop using it. That means no double-clicked documents.
Pages v5 is not an evolution of Pages '09 — it is an incomplete rewrite, and uses a different, internal document architecture than did Pages '09. This internal architecture is to blame for the export translation bloat into Word's different document architecture. It does not matter whether you type a single character, or multiple pages, you will get about a 500Kb .docx file.
Opening, and resaving this monster .docx file in MS Word in Office for Mac 2011, LibreOffice, or TextEdit will result in a very small .docx footprint.
