Bug in Report Buider (anybody solve it?)

We are facing a problem with Oracle Developer Report Builder
6.0.5.28.0 . The Problem is as Follows.
When we print a report from the previewer of a
character mode report it is giving a GPF error and we are
unable to print the
Report but if the report is in Bitmap then it works
properly. The same character mode report if printed as
Detination
'Printer' then it prints properly.
When debugged using a VC++ Debugger we get the following
error
' Unhandled Exception RWRBE60.EXE(CORE40.DLL) ;
OXC0000005; Access Violation; and the system hangs.
Because of this we a facing a delay in the Release of Our
Product to our customers.
Requesting anybody to send me details
regarding this .

Hi,
Engineering researched the issue and it is a bug (design error) that needs to be fixed. (The semi-colon should not be used as the delimiter of two report rules.) I will let you know when I have more information.
In the meantime, the documentation will be clarified with this information to show the current behavior:
Beginning with firmware version 7.5.2b, the IP phone has the capability to do a delta configuration report and a status report. The phone reports the status data if the [--status] keyword is defined.
Both the status report rule and configuration report rule can be configured in the parameter . These two report rules should be separated with a semi-colon.
If the [--status] keyword or the status report file path is missing, the phone will not report the status data.
For example, if the following is configured:
http://my_http_server/config-525.xml
The phone will report the configuration data to
http://my_http_server/config-525.xml.
If the following is configured:
[--status]http://my_http_server/status-525.xml
The phone will report the status data to
http://my_http_server/config-525.xml.
If the following is configured:
[--delta]http://my_http_server/config-525.xml;
[--status]http://my_http_server/status-525.xml
The phone will report the delta configuration data to
http://my_http_server/config-525.xml and the
status data to http://my_http_server/status-
525.xml.

Is there a place to report mavericks bugs to in order to solve them?

For example...in launchpad all the app icons are missing...showing me just the text under!
Where can I report this sort of problems?

Here, because that is not a bug in Mavericks, rather a problem arising from upgrading an existing system that is dysfunctional. I recommend that you reinstall Mavericks and see if the problem isn't fixed. You can report legitimate problems, that is problems that not only exist on your system but others as well, to:

5530 Turning on lockup bug (tips for nokia to solv...

I made a separate topic because the other one is 14 pages now. I think there shouldnt have discussion, only bug post.
A lot of people complain about this annoying bug, where you turn off the phone and cant turn it on. It locks up on "nokia" boot screen. To turn it on you must remove memory card.
I think i just found the problem of it. It happens because im using phone memory to store all the messages. SMS and 2 email accounts. When my phone memory is selected it boots normally, but when card is selected, it cant.
Nokia, we want a powerful update for 5530xm. Please read the other bug topic (/t5/Nseries-Devices-and-S60/Nokia-5530-bugs-and-lacks/td-p/514289) and the ideas for improvement topic (/t5/Software-Updates/5530XM-What-we-like-to-see-in-new-firmware/td-p/634726)
Thanks!
PS. Im running v20

Did you confirm that the batteryis having sufficient charge ? Connect the charger and leave it charging for an hour. Then try switching ON without disconnecting the charger.
If problem remains, have you considered trying a new battery ?

NSU bug detected and how to solve!

Hi Friends!
I want to share something with you, that make me lost a lot of time.
I have an N97 NAM RM-507
I tried to update the phone via NSU several times, with different luck.,
1st time: Completely death phone, and i have to pay for get it repaired cause i bought it in other country.
2nd time: I did it via OTA with a trouble free process.
3rd: Came v20 fw, but with no luck, it can be upgraded only via NSU.
OK i read all of the posts, install it on XP, with a clean install, etc.
Tried on different laptops, with xp installed from the scrath, keep getting erros, i even tried making it inside a virtual machine but always the same
But, one day, (After several) i receive a laptop with XP, but SP2, instead of SP3, and guess what?
I can install it without problem.
How can be possible that nokia, didn't realize of this bug, making people lose money (Like me) and time (Again like me)
Maybe you say, you have bad luck, but this is not the case because there's a los of people having problems trying to upgrade their Nokia phones.
I used the very last version of NoKia Pc Suite, and NSU.
I hope this can save the time that i've wasted for other people.
If someone find this important, please stick it, before more people get their phones ruined!
Cheers!

Bug with chromium?? [Solved]

HI guys.
I have a small issue with Chromium. It will not pass .torrent files to Deluge. It simply downloads them and leaves them in my downloads folder. From the command line, i've tried opening the file with mimeopen, xdg-open and exo-open. In all cases, Deluge started the download.
I have export DE=xfce in my .xinitrc file. Environment is openbox.
I have mozplugger installed to be able to open .ICA links (Citrix) to connect to work.
Any ideas?
thanks
Last edited by insomniak4700 (2012-04-10 18:29:54)

It -was- mozplugger that was getting in the way. If anyone has the same issue, here's a way around it. i'm not totally sure about the mozplugger switches but it seems to work well enough.
The result is that clicking on a .torrent file will show a blank file in chromium, but the deluge torrent dialog will correctly open. No torrent files are left in downloads. I haven't tried it but i'm sure "deluge-gtk" could be replaced with mimeopen to use the torrent client of your choice instead
add these two lines at the end of /etc/mozpluggerrc:
application/x-bittorrent:torrent: Bittorrent file
repeat noisy fill exits : /usr/bin/deluge-gtk $file

after analyzing the problem a little bit more in details it appeared to me that the files JDeveloper couldn't open was from previous check out in different working copy. May be some recent files lists or some think like that. This list was not initialized after we committing all changes in Subversion repository, removed the application from workspace and check out the application in an other directory.
To solve the problem we deleted the Application Data content for JDeveloper.

[Solved] UX21A seems to overcharge battery

I have an Asus Zenbook UX21A with Archlinux x86_64 fully up to date, where I have the following situation:
The charging cable has an LED which turns from orange to green when the battery has been fully charged.
And it does, BUT when I do
cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/{energy_now,energy_full}
the value outputted for energy_now still keeps rising well above the value of energy_full and does not stop.
After about 5 minutes of keeping the laptop on AC after it having been completely charged
the value of energy_now already rises to about 105% of the value of energy_full.
Now I'm not sure if something is wrong and the battery keeps getting forefully overcharged or if it is
an error in the value being outputted.
Has anyone ever encountered this behaviour with this laptop model or any other and knows whether
this is simply a display error?
Last edited by Calrama (2013-02-23 11:28:58)

For other users encountering this later:
After several reboots and a fair time completely without power in between the energy_now counter now
stops at about 101.99% of energy_full.
That in itself is still strange, but at least it seems to only be a display bug and no actual overcharging
occurs. The exact values (when fully charged) are:
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_full: 35520000
/sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/energy_now: 36230000

[SOLVED] yaourt seems not to manage cache correctly

Firstly, I'll tell you that I put these options in /etc/yaourtrc to make yaourt save a copy of all the packages:
# Build
EXPORT=1
EXPORTDIR="/var/cache/pacman/pkg-local"
as it's written in the wiki. The problem is that, for example, when I try to update telegram-desktop, I always get an error like this:
==> Validating source files with md5sums...
telegram-desktop.tar.xz ... FAILED
telegram.svg ... Passed
telegram ... Passed
telegram.desktop ... Passed
==> ERROR: One or more files did not pass the validity check!
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build telegram-desktop.
ans that's because, last time I updated telegram-desktop, yaourt exported the package into the cache as these two files:
# ls /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local/telegram*
/var/cache/pacman/pkg-local/telegram-desktop-0.6.11-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local/telegram-desktop.tar.xz
but I think the second one (without version numbers) should be a temporary file that should disappear after the installation in order to let yaourt download it again from the AUR (as I told before, the problem is that that file corresponds to an old version; indeed yaourt doesn't download anything when you try to update, it thinks it's already downloaded and checks the md5sum, which is wrong, obviously). Removing the file /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local/telegram-desktop.tar.xz lets yaourt update.
What should I do to solve this? Is it a matter of yaourt or of telegram-desktop?

Trilby wrote:But if the OP of this thread is new to using the AUR, which seems to be the case, I would still suggest not using yaourt (yet).
Hmm... I've been using yaourt to install things from the AUR since the first day in Arch, more or less, one year ago, and I had no problems until I change that to have a copy of the installers. I thank you very much for your suggestions, I'll take a look at those packages (the one you said and the others) and I'll look for their advantages and disadvantages, but when I have time (wich seems to be in some months).
Scimmia wrote:@josealberto4444, did you set SRCDEST in makepkg.conf?
As an answer of this and the final solution (I hope), I put EXPORT=1 and removed $EXPORTDIR in /etc/yaourtrc, created ~/.packages and ~/.makepkg.conf with PKGDEST=~/.packages, moved all the files in /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local to ~/.packages, changed the ownership to me and removed /var/cache/pacman/pkg-local with its changed permissions and problems. Let's see how it works in the next update. I think it should work and fixes the problem with the security due to the changed permissions. I'll post here when I update any package using yaourt with new problems or the solved tag, haha.
Thanks to all
Edit: It worked perfectly, I put the tag [SOLVED].

[solved] Laptop seems to "hang up" when trying to suspend2

I finally got a new notebook, a Thinkpad X60. Today I tried to switch from vanilla- to suspend2-kernel (the one that I had running on my old notebook as well). When trying to "hibernate", I get output on the console until "Doing atomic copy." Then the laptop seems to hang up and does nothing for ages. But when I change to another console and back, the computer turns off... I don't know why.
Starting the system again results in resuming the image - so it seems it has been correctly writen on my swap-device. But the console I come back to on resuming is unusable! I see the output made by 'hibernate' and a prompt. But I don't get an outpu if I type something. Typing blind, something as 'exit' or 'reset' doesn't work either.
What's wrong there?

[solved]pacman seems to be stuck in infinite loop

Hi, All
I was trying out gnome2.20 which is till in testing.
Installation of the packages was smooth, but I could not start X after the installation.
The Xorg logs said that there was no X sever installed while the It was listed in the pacman -Q
I decided to remove everything and do it again so I did a
pacman -Rc xorg-server
During the removal I thought of taking a backup of my xorg.conf and intruppted the package removal process by Ctrl+C.
After copying the xorg.conf
I re ran
pacman -Rc xorg-server
but it seems to be running in loop.
The message printed are like(these are not the actual message as I dun have an acces to the system)
Kmplayer not found in database
Kmplayer not found in database
Kmplayer not found in database
So presently am not able to do anything (install/remove X). Text mode is working fine though.
Can somebdy suggest some workaround(deleting/adding) something from/in the pacman database. or smthing like that.
Thanks
Sri
Last edited by srimalik (2007-10-08 16:49:49)

I would rather try to do that with kmplayer (pacman -S or pacman -R or both).
Otherwise, the loop itself should be fixed in pacman 3.1.
But what caused the loop in the first place, I am not sure. There might still be a problem in the interruption handling.
Pacman is supposed to catch ctrl+c for exiting cleanly, But maybe it failed to in this case.. I don't know.

[solved] Pacman seems to think i have nothing installed

ok im quite new to arch linux and ive been attempting to get to grips with it quickly so i may have done something stupid here...
i installed arch with kde and have switched recently to the ice kernel, due to tryingto get compiz running and needing to update my graphics driver....
having done this however pacman seems to have lost the fact that it has ever installed anything...
is there a way to remedy this...
64bit btw...
thanks in advance for any input and let me know if i need to give any extra info...

Well, pacman stores everything it knows about your system's packages in /var/lib/pacman/local -- if that dir is empty, then you're in trouble. There's a script floating around somewhere that takes your pacman.log from /var/log and tries to re-install every package that should be on your system in an attempt to recreate /var/lib/pacman/local - I can never remember where that script is though; you'll have to do a search.

[solved] emerald seems running, but is not decorating windows

I'm trying to run compiz+emerald standalone. Emerald seems to be running, because I activated some plugins (ring switcher and windows previews) and they are working perfect.
Also 'ps aux' reports emerald running, but I can't see windows decorations.
I'm running it via startx, this is my ~/.xinitrc
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
compiz ccp &
emerald &
exec lxpanel
As I saw here: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=51282
I've also tried running fusion-icon instead of compiz directly, with the same result.
Thanks in advance.

The "problem" was that the "Windows Decorator" plugin was deactivated. Just set it active and voilá, jejeje.

I decided to attempt and install compiz with xfce. I decided to do step 3 on the wiki page for compiz with xfce, because step 2 didn't seem to work, and step 1 is pretty ugly. Well, I don't know what happened but my computer won't even start with xfwm anymore. I added compiz to startup applications as descriped in step 1, so that now I can actually use my computer. This actually works fine, with the exception of when I try to switch workplaces on the panel causing the panel to dissapear, needing to be restarted.
But I want to fix xfce so that if I choose to not use compiz I can have that option, but it seems to be the only working window manager right now. I tried uninstalling xfwm with "pacman -Rsn" and then building it from ABS, but that didn't change a thing, seems to be just the way it was before.
Thank you for any help in advance

Oh okay, that makes sense now, thank you.

Note with the fusion icon, you can easily switch from Compiz to Xfwm4 by right clicking on the icon and choosing "Select Window Manager". If you have problems, you can always reload the Window Manager from the fusion icon as well.
I didn't mean that it looked ugly, I just meant it was kind of ugly how it killed xfwm and then started compiz. Compiz looks great (this is my first time having hardware good enough to run it, (I've only used Linux on old computers previously). I think it actually looks better than my Macbook does. Love all the great theme options.
EDIT: Everything seems to be working now, thank you all. I just deleted the configuration files for Xfce and reinstalled it.
