Confused about uname (wrong OS version)

I have a Mac Pro (8-core double Xeon), which has never had less than 10.5 installed, though when I got it, I migrated from a PPC machine that may have gone back as far as 10.2. It is currently running Mac OS X 10.6.2.
When I run _uname -v_, I get:
$ uname -v
Darwin Kernel Version 10.2.0: Tue Nov 3 10:37:10 PST 2009; root:xnu-1486.2.11~1/RELEASE_I386
Note that uname thinks I'm running Jaguar. The xnu version number and the build date make sense, though.
Similarly with sysctl:
kern.osrelease = 10.2.0
kern.osversion = 10C540
Build right, release version wrong. Doing a full _sysctl -a_ and grepping for 10.6 turns up nothing. I see the same thing on my MacBook Pro.
Two questions:
1) Is this the expected behavior? Why?
2) What is the correct way to get the "marketing" version of the OS from the command line?

Note that uname thinks I'm running Jaguar. The xnu version number and the build date make sense, though.
That's an incorrect interpretation on your part. Understandable, but incorrect.
The response from uname includes the kernel version number, not the Mac OS version number. They track closely, but the first number in the kernel is 4 greater than the revision number of the OS.
In other words, kernel version a.b.c should be interpreted as:
Mac OS X 10.(a-4).b
So kernel version 10.2.0 translates to: Mac OS X 10.(10-4).2, or 10.6.2
It's a little clearer on earlier versions of the OS, e.g. kernel version 9.8.0 translates to 10.(9-4).8, or 10.5.8, and kernel 8.11.0 translates to 10.4.11.
I forget the reason why the 4 difference, but I'm sure I could find it if I dig deep enough.

Conceivable, but bizarre.
    I suppose the kernel source tracks the MacOS X version number. The Wikipedia page has more information. It seems like Apple is now making an effort to get Darwin and MacOS X version numbers more closely in sync.

  • Confusion about the Lumia firmware versions

    I just got an update to my Lumia 900. It's version 7.10.8862.144, which Windows Phone Update History tells me is WP7.8.
    I thought I had WP7.8 already. I've had the live tiles, multiple highlight colours and everything for a few months already. What's up with this?

    Hi Roope70,
    7.10.8862.144 would be the OS version if I'm not mistaken. You can go to Settings > About > More Info to verify this.
    If your phone has the Windows Phone 7.8 under Software version, you have the update already.
    For the Firmware Revision number, depending on the country and variant of the phone, you can check yours here: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/software-update/lumia-software-update/availability-in-africa/
    Cheers.

  • Live Update confused about versions installed?

    I have a MSI Neo4 Platinum and first I installed the Marvell LAN Drivers via Live Update (Version 7.14.1.3). This driver did however seem to be very unstable (the network connection dropped after a few minutes of use), so I went to Windows Update and picked the Marvell Driver there. It shows up under the Driver Tab as version 7.29.4.3". This driver seems very stable and my dropped connection problem is gone. I had this problem on two different installations of this board.
    When I now run Live Driver, it incorrectly reports that my current version is 7.14.1.3 (not 7.29.4.3). It is obviously confused about shich version I'm running.
    Anyone else seen this problem?

    olavt,
    Do not bother with Live Update. If you want to update anything, do it manually. Also for Mobo Drivers, usenVidia nForce Drivers
    Take Care,

  • PSE 7 confusion about folder location, help needed

    Here's some background: I'm using PhotoShop Elements 7 on Win XP.  I have an external firewire hard drive I use for overflow/backups.  Originally, this showed up as a K: drive on my system.
    I added a RAID controller and two more drives to stripe as a single drive for temp space rendering movies.  This ended up as a K: drive and the external moved to L:  However, when I did this there were some pictures from my catalog that I had on the external drive.  I have used File > reconnect missing files to handle the moves, but PSE is still confused (very).
    PSE has started to mix up the RAID (K:) and external (L:) content.  If I move a set of pictures (e.g. a folder of them) onto the external drive (L:) via drag and drop in the folder location view, the folder will show up empty on the L: heirarchy, but will show up as a gray folder icon in the K: RAID drive hierarchy.  If I open up windows explorer, the RAID drive will appear empty.  In other cases (I'm not sure when/how yet), pictures physically end up on the RAID drive itself instead of the external.  I have uninstalled both the external drive and the RAID drive and reinstalled them both, but they are still getting confused in the folder view by PSE.  I've also tried moving content outside of PSE and just reconnecting missing files, but it still wants to put things under the K: RAID drive instead of the external L:.
    I've searched everywhere I can think of for a description of what gray folder icons in the folder location view means and can find none.  I'm not sure how to convince PSE that there's nothing on the RAID K: drive and it shouldn't try to connect the two.  Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    Thank you!  I ran psedbtool and the output shows the catalog has the wrong drive letter for the L: drive.
    Is there a way to make PSE forget about the K: and L: drives that it is so confused about so that it can relearn of their existence?  If I use the drive letter reassignment to fix PSE, it will break other apps that are now dependent on the current drive letter assignments.  I've tried removing all files from the L: drive, but it's still remembered as part of the catalog.
    Thanks,
    Jim

  • Flash Islands Tutorial I - Confusion with Flex/Flash Builder Versions

    Hi Guys,
    i am new to the Adobe Flex/Flash Islands technology and tried to implement Tutorial I by Thomas Jung. Unfortunately i am confused by the various different versions for flex and the corresponding IDE's.
    As far as i understood SAP at the moment only supports Flex versions up to version 3.3 for NetWeaver 7 EHP1. Furtheron the Adobe Charting Components (used in the Tutorial) seem to be part of the Flex Builder Professional Version only.
    So i went to the Adobe Website and looked into the products and download areas. All i found was Flash Builder 4.5 Premium and the various Adobe and Open Source Flex SDK versions. I am using Flash Builder 4.5 as a trial right now. Unfortunately the Charting Components are not included.
    So the question i have is whether the Charting Components (e.g. <mx:BarChart /> )are included in the non Trial version of Flash Builder 4.5 Premium or whether there is any possibility to get them as an Add-On. Or do i have to use Flex Builder 3 Professional (i found no information about this on the Adobe Website)?
    Additional Hint:
    I found out that when i compile the poject with Flex SDK vesion 3.6 or higher, the compiler knows the <mx:BarChart /> tag. Also in that case the view designer is working. However FlashIslands is only supported up to Flex SDK 3.3. But when i choose 3.3 the <mx:BarChart /> tag and some other related tags are unknown.
    This is a really anoying issue.
    Best Regards,
    Dirk
    Edited by: Dirk Jäckel on Jul 19, 2011 12:14 PM

    HI Dirk,
    wtith Web Dynpro, you can only use Flex SDK version 3.3 and downwards. You can download the SDK here [http://opensource.adobe.com/wiki/display/flexsdk/DownloadFlex3]
    Flash Builder ships with Flex SDK 4.5 which is not compatible with WDA flash islands.
    As for the charts library, which Adobe referes to as the Data Visualization Component, it is also available as a separate download which can be unzipped into the same directory as the Flex SDK -- the library is available here [http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?e=flex3sdk]
    I must say I am also confused, because as far I can tell data visualization component is not included in 3.3, but SAP makes no mention of this. Hopefully someone else can enlighten us on this issue?

  • Confuse about Configuring Oracle Warehouse Builder

    newbie here... i am abit confuse on how to configure the Oracle Warehouse builder...
    I have 2 database... 1 source and 1 new one...
    I understand that i have to install the Runtime Repository in the database computer and the Target Schema through the client's computer...
    so all this while... i am just confuse about what to install into the source database and what to install into the new database...
    Please help...

    Location is a logical entity in your OWB design that can be either a database schema, a flat file location, an SAP application location etc. Once you complete your design and are ready to deploy the design into the runtime environment, you will have to 'register' the locations by providing the physical details of your location to OWB (user name/password, database, hostname etc.).
    I am a bit confused by your configuration - are the source and the target in two separate schemas or in the same schema? Your posts are somewhat contradictory.
    If they are in two different schemas, you should:
    1. Create a source module pointing to a source schema (you can then import data object structures from the source schema - i.e. you don't have to create source tables manually in OWB, but you can import them into the module automatically). This module will have a source location (for example SRC_LOC).
    2. Create a target module where all your target objects will be (i.e. where the data will be loaded). This module will have a different location (TGT_LOC). In your target module you will also create the mappings.
    3. When deploying, you will register SRC_LOC with the physical details of your source schema, while the target location will be registered with the physical details of the target schema. The code generated by OWB during deployment will make sure that the data is extracted from the source schema and inserted into the target schema (either by generating and using DB links or by qualifying the schemas in the extraction queries if source and target are in the same database instance).
    On the other hand, if both source and target objects are in the same db schema, you can have all your objects in the same target module and you will only have to register the location of this target module when deploying (LOC_TGT).
    That said, there can be a variety of reasons why there is no data in the target after you run the extract mapping that have nothing to do with locations, such as logical errors in the mapping (an inappropriate filter or a wrong join), insufficient privileges etc. I suggest you take a look in the runtime audit browser that should contain the error messages relative to your mapping.
    Regards:
    Igor

  • I'm a bit confused about standby log files

    Hi all,
    I'm a bit confused about something and wondering if someone can explain.
    I have a Primary database that ships logs to a Logical Standby database.
    Everything appears to be working properly. If I check the v$archived_log table in the Primary and compare it to the dba_logstdby_log view in the Logical Standby, I'm seeing that logs are being applied.
    On the logical standby, I have the following configured for log_archive_dest_n parameters:
    *.log_archive_dest_1='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_2='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_3='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/archivedlogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(ALL_LOGFILES,ALL_ROLES) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_4='SERVICE=PNX8A_WDC ASYNC VALID_FOR=(ONLINE_LOGFILES,PRIMARY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_WDC'
    *.log_archive_dest_5='LOCATION=/u01/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_6='LOCATION=/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    *.log_archive_dest_7='LOCATION=/u03/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1
    VALID_FOR=(STANDBY_LOGFILES,STANDBY_ROLE) DB_UNIQUE_NAME=PNX8A_GMD'
    Here is my confusion now. Before converting from a Physical standby database to a Logical Standby database, I was under the impression that I needed the standby logs (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6 and 7 above) because a Physical Standby database would receive the redo from the primary and write it into the standby logs before applying the redo in the standby logs to the Physical standby database.
    I've now converted to a Logical Standby database. What's happening is that the standby logs are accumulating in the directory pointed to by log_archive_dest_6 above (/u02/oracle/standbylogs/ORADB1). They do not appear to be getting cleaned up by the database.
    In the Logical Standby database I do have STANDBY_FILE_MANAGEMENT parameter set to AUTO. Can anyone explain to me why standby log files would continue to accumulate and how I can get the Logical Standby database to remove them after they are no longer needed on the LSB db?
    Thanks in advance.

    I assume you mean in your question, why on the standby database I am using three standby log locations (i.e. log_archive_dest_5, 6, and 7)?
    If that is your question, my answer is that I just figured more than one location would be safer but I could be wrong about this. Can you tell me if only one location should be sufficient for the standby logs? The more I think of this, that is probably correct because I assume that Log Transport services will re-request the log from the Primary database if there is some kind of error at the standby location with the standby log. Is this correct?As simple configure as below. Why more multiple destinations for standby?

  • I'm new and confused about "connection" things

    I'm new to BlackBerry--I have an 8320 Curve, I'm a small business owner and I'm not connected to a BES. I use the BB Desktop Manager to synchronize with Outlook and to back up my BB and I've done pretty well on most things, but I still have a few things I'm confused about. In this forum, I'll ask my "confusion questions" concerning data options.
    I have a "pay as you go" data plan with AT&T, my provider, because there is virtually no cell reception at my home where I also work. (I'm not using my BB for email since I'm in front of my computer most of the time). I have a home network set up and I've incorporated a router that supports wireless. I've connected a netbook to the wireless network and used it to surf the Internet, so, I know my wireless connection works. I've also managed to create a wireless connection on my BB to this network and on the Home screen, it will display my wireless network's name when I'm here at home, so, I know the device is connected to my network.
    BUT, I don't think I'm actually using my home wireless network...I tried the other day by browsing the Internet and then AT&T told me I incurred data charges--which I thought I shouldn't have if I wasn't using their network. Either I'm wrong about assuming they won't charge me if I use my network or I have something set up incorrectly on my BB...can anyone provide some guidance?
    Next, I don't truly understand what BIS is...I searched through the KB and couldn't find anything that actually defines BIS...could somebody please explain what BIS is?
    Finally, can somebody please explain the difference between "mobile network" and "wi-fi"? It seems, if I turn off "mobile network" I have no connection at all, including wi-fi. Is that the way things should be? But, I can turn off wi-fi and still get a connection (if I go outside as far from my house as possible and face south <g>).
    Thanks...and now I'm off to the BB Desktop Manager forum to ask a few questions there!
    Solved!

    Hi and Welcome to the forums!
    I can help you with one or two of your questions:

    BIS is Blackberry Internet Service...a service, hosted by your carrier, that provides a conduit between internet facing email systems (e.g., Yahoo, GMail, etc.) and your BB. Inside of BIS, you create conduits for each of your email providers that you desire to receive OTA email for on your BB. BIS will check your provider on a periodic basis (documented to be every 15 minutes) and only when there is something that needs to come to your BB does it generate any traffic over the carrier network with your BB. BIS is an add-service, only available to those who, from their carrier, contract for The Blackberry Data Plan (as it is usually called) -- a generic data plan is not usually adequate to have access to BIS.

    Mobile Network is your carriers network...data and/or voice services provided OTA for your BB. WiFi is wireless networking (802.11a/b/g/n) through your home WAP, hotspots, etc. I don't know if turning off Mobile Networ should or should not affect your ability to continue to use WiFi...I would think they are separate, but I don't have a BB model with WiFi.
    I know nothing about the pay-as-you-go programs, but from all you describe, it seems that you may well be using your carrier network at times. You will need to find out (and there are others here who know) how to shut off your carrier network yet leave WiFi running so that you don't incurr the costs of surfing via the carrier network.
    Hope that helps a little!

  • Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Just bought a Nikon d750 and confused about adobe LR4 and PS6 support for the RAW files. I have DNG 8.7 but wondering if LR and PS will import direct soon Thanks for any advice

    Support for the Nikon D750 was introduced in the latest version of LR 5.7 and ACR 8.7 on Novemder 18th 2014.
    Further updates to LR 4 were stopped when LR 5 was released on June 9th 2013. No further updates for bug fixes and new camera support.
    Nada, LR 4 will never support Nikon D750. The Nikon D750 was introduced into the market in September 2014 some 15 months after further development of LR 4 was discontinued.
    You can use the Adobe DNG program (free download for the package) to convert the Nef (raw) files from your Nikon D750 to the Adobe DNG format which will permit you to import those into LR 4. This is the crutch provided by Adobe to allow for the processing of raw files with outdated versions of LR and ACR.
    You can also update the ACR plugin for PS CS6 to version 8.7 which can also work with the raw files from the D750. For direct support in Lightroom you will need to upgrade (paid) to version 5.7.

  • If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this.

    If I download a video from my video camera to a new (current 1/12) iMac 21 inch, how can I burn it to a DVD using the computer itself. Is this possible? Do I need to buy additional software. Two salespeople at the Apple were a little confused about this. Thank you.

    The DVD recorder I'm referring to is one I've use for years. It is not attached to my aging iMac in any way. I simply play the video from my camcorder (mini-dv tape based Canon HV20)  into the DVD recorder and create a DVD that can be played in any DVD player. I can only do minimum editing so what goes in is what I get. This has been fine for creating dupes of the various things I shoot.
    If I buy a new iMac (21 inch), I'd like to be able to download the video to the iMac through iMovie, work with it to whatever degree I wish, and burn it to a DVD that can also be played in any DVD player -- or to use as a master to dupe copies.
    What I'm understanding from you and others is that this would be possible if Apple had included iDVD in the software that comes with the iMac, or if I purchase the iLife Family Pack, or buy the correct version of Toast. I'm hoping I can persuade Apple to sell me an iMac with iDVD installed.
    Essentially I want to move from a basic process of creating DVD copies to the more sophisticated process of creating one from an iMac.
    Thank you again for your help and wisdom.

  • Confused about conversation grouping Lion vs. Snow Leopard

    Hello All,
    I just upgraded. Literally just finished. I was checking out mail, and I am confused about how Mail 5 groups messages for conversations. In SL I had Mail group related messages as well, and it's a feature I really enjoy. Conversations just makes it that much better. But, I notice that Lion groups message differently than both SL and iOS. Now, it is no longer grouping emails that are all from various people but are part of the same thread. It is grouping multiple messages from the same sender, even if they have nothing to do with each other, or are only loosely connected.
    It used to be (and still is on my iPhone) for example, that all the emails eminating from a single thread topic on one of my class forums would all group together. They have the same subject line and formatting. It was heaven. Will there be no way of doing this?
    Also, now all the emails from the teacher of that class, regardless of the relevancy or subject line, group together in one conversation. It's annoying in a way, but I think I can get used to that. Does anyone know if these will be able to be changed in the future?
    Thanks

    As a Mac power user - LION IS A DISAPPOINTMENT
    Apple needs to seriously consider briniging back
      • SPACES: the capability to move up as well as down to access applications
         AND have applications stay in a desgnated space makes it much easier
         to run multiple applicatioins - especially in a multi-monitor environment
      • SAVE AS: Saving various versions of a file is difficult with Lion. 
        If I want a 3 versions of a document - with different pictures, it takes too many "clicks" to accomplish
         this task.  LET ME CHOOSE HOW I STORE FILES
      • COPY COMMAND: Snow Leaopard allowed me to copy files to a storage device AND if the file
         was already written to the device - the option to NOT REPLACE the file existed.  This made it
         easy to backup work on a portable drive.
         LION ONLY has two options - copy all or make an addition copy of the file, causing storage bloat
    APPLE NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER PUTTING THESE FEATURES BACK INTO THEIR OS FOR THE BUSINESS AND POWER USER

  • Confused about usage of usage types (NW2004s vs. NW 7.1 vs. NW mobile 7.1)

    Hello all
    I'm confused about the different combination possibilities / restrictions when it comes to compare NW2004s, NW PI 7.1 PI and NW Mobile 7.1. I already consulted the Master Guides and technical installation guides but am still confused. So if someone could shed some more light on it it would be great!
    We plan to implement our interfaces, whether internal (system to system) or external (customers, suppliers) using XI (now called PI, right?). But we also intend to develop and run mobile apps (occasionally conected ones). So my questions around it are:
    1) Do we need to install at least two separate servers for this? I mean:
    - 1 server for SAP Netweaver PI 7.1
    - 1 server for SAP Netweaver Mobile 7.1
    2) Or is possible to have all this on one single server using SAP Netweaver 2004s with usage types AS ABAP, PI and Mobile.
    3) Is usage type AS JAVA required when choosing usage type Mobile?
    4) What would you recommend for production environments (note: I'm aware of the sizing / scaling question but I'm only interested in some kind of best practices advices in terms of maintenance, patching, etc.).
    Thanks anyone for some input on it
    BR
    Renaud

    Thanks Russell and Larissa for your clarifications.
    Re-checked the master guide for NW 2004s (7.0) and now found the relevant text in chapter 3.3.1 on pages 30 + 31. Must have overlooked it the 1st time.
    Other questions:
    a) What is the difference between a installation of NW 7.0 with usage type AS ABAP and PI compared to NW PI 7.1 ?!?
    b) What is the difference between an installation of NW 7.0 with usage type AS ABAP and Mobile compared to NW Mobile 7.1 ?!?
    Do the 7.1 versions contain real newer releases or is it just another packaging of same components? What are the advanteges of the 7.1 versions?
    Thanks again in advance for some more clarification!

  • Udev: confusion about identifier ATTRS{idProduct}

    Hi,
    i'm confused about how exactly udev identifies a device, imho the idProduct identifier is (in this specific case) inconsistent.
    Short story:
    'lsusb' and 'udeadm info' indentify the devices idProduct as "1002", but to get udev rules working i have to use ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001" though.
    Long story:
    I have this usb-to-midi device (midisport 2x2), which needs to load firmware to work (midisport-firmware). This is the udev rule to load the firmware:
    #/etc/udev/rules.d/42-midisport-firmware.rules
    # MidiSport 2x2
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0763", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1001", RUN+="/sbin/fxload -s /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSportLoader.ihx -I /usr/share/usb/maudio/MidiSport2x2.ihx -D %N"
    This rule ("idProduct=1001") works!
    Changing "idProduct" to "1002" does not work.
    However, here's the output of
    ~# lsusb
    Bus 003 Device 007: ID 0763:1002 Midiman MidiSport 2x2
    and

    which both indicate, the correct idProduct would be "1002"!?
    The midisport box is the only device where this inconsistence appears, all other usb-devices (hdds, sticks, sound card, dvb-t stick, mp3 player) get identified as expected.
    I want to know, if anybody can explain this/ if anybody has had similar experiences!

    Looking at the udevadm info output, it shows ATTR{idproduct}=="1002" and ATTRS{idproduct}=="0001" and your rule uses ATTRS{idproduct}=="1001".
    Have you tried with just ATTR{idproduct}=="1002" (note no S)? Looking at the output of info, I would still not expect ATTRS{idproduct}=="1001" to work, but udev's changed a fair bit in the last few years and the old bible for rules is way out of date.
