Firefox+Flash: Some flash applets' content doesn't get updated

Hello community,
I stumbled upon a very strange problem with Firefox and Flash. Some flash applets (example: http://www.kenken.com/game) show only a plain white rectangle. For a long time I thought that it is a problem with Flashblock and/or NoScript. Today, however, I tried to get rid of the problem and made following observations:
1. The problem persists in safe mode (with deactivated extensions).
2. The problem persists after disabling hardware acceleration in the Firefox settings.
3. The problem does NOT occur in Chromium&Pepper Flash. But I'd like to stick to Firefox for many reasons.
4. The problem does NOT occur on my laptop running Manjaro (however, the setups are not really comparable).
5. Initially I thought that the flash applets aren't initialized at all, however, now I observed that if I switch to a different tab and then back to the tab with the flash applet, it gets updated. I can also interact with the applet, however, the changes are only visible after I do the tab switching.
Any help or hint how to find the cause of the problem is greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
PhotonX

A new finding: I tried to install an older version of Firefox and downloaded a binary from https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org … /releases/. The older binary worked so I tried newer ones and finally arrived at the very same version as the one installed through the package management. The result is: The 33.0.2 binary downloaded from Mozilla works, the 33.0.2 installed through the package management doesn't! All extensions installed on my machine are available in the downloaded binary, so I assume that it knows about ~/.mozilla. What could be the cause of the problem then? Will try to start Firefox with a completely clean home folder (new user) and report back.

**URGENT : signed applet still doesn't get full permissions**

I've bought a Microsoft Authenticode certificate with which I signed a CAB file containing my class files...
On a client machine, the browser detects security stuff but even when one acknowledges, the applet still doesn't get the permission, for instance, to open a directory for reading... a SecurityException is thrown as if the applet was not signed.
Have I forgotten something or did another one wrong ?? Must I set the Security Manager to null ????
It's really urgent, so please reply asap !!!
Thanks,
R�gis Kuckaertz

Just signing the applet doesn't give it any permissions. You have to assert whatever permissions you want. For example:
import com.ms.security.*; // need dummy classes to compile for non-MS
// check if we are in the MS JVM
if (Class.forName("com.ms.security.PolicyEngine") != null)
    // Assert all Permissions
    PolicyEngine.assertPermission(PermissionID.SYSTEM);
catch (Throwable cnfe)
    System.out.println("Microsoft JVM permissions not asserted.");
    System.out.println(cnfe.getMessage());
}

Windows10 tech preview build 10041 doesn't get updated for some reason

is there a way to force an update? I believe there were a couple of updates , but for some reason my build didn't get updated
tx,
D

Hi,
At least, we have preview build 10049 now, if you want to experience it, then you can change the install speed to "fast" in Settings\Update&Recovery\Windows Update\Advanced Options. If you don't want to experience it, then leave the setting
in "Slow". If you've already set to fast and didn't get any updates, then pleaes check the following registry:
Open regedit.exe
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsSelfHost\Applicability
Ensure the following values exist:
{value name}, {value type}, {value data}
BranchName, REG_SZ, fbl_impressive
ThresholdOptedin, REG_DWORD, 1
ThresholdRiskLevel, REG_SZ, low
Delete all other values
Open Settings
> Update & recovery > Windows Update
Tap or click Check
for updates
System also has a built-in troubleshooter, launch control panel\All control panel items\Troubleshooting\System and Security\Windows Update, run this troubleshooter.

OVM-Manager 2.2 doesn't gets updated properly.

hi,
i have ovm 2.2 setup consist of 4 servers in cluster.
whenever any of the servers get rebooted.The guest vm gets restarted on the next available resource server.
And now in the OVM-Manager side i see all the guest tht got restarted on the next available resource server shows the status as "UNKNOWN"
OVM-Manager doesn't gets updated properly.
currently in all my vm servers i have ovs-agent version "ovs-agent-2.3-27"
please suggest....

hi Avi,
thks for your reply..
i had upgraded ovs-agent form 2.3-27 to 2.3-31.
i noticted one thing which commom for both ovs-agent version
VIP doesn’t works properly using any of the ovs-agent version (2.3-27 nor 2.3-31)
Whenever VIP is enabled it leads to two major problems.
1)Disturbs the Server Pool HA. It works initially and then start showing unusual behavior .
2)OVM-Manager doesn’t gets updated.
Hence the whole setup is disturbed.
But when only Server Pool HA is enabled & NOT VIP everything works properly .i.e. HA across the Pool & even ovm-manager gets updated time to time.
Seems there is still some bug in the ovs-agent 2.3-31 also especially for VIP.

How are you trying to update? Over the air or connected to computer?
Mails blocked? What is happening when you try to get mail?
Are you seeing any error messages? A little more info would be nice.

ScrollPane: thumb doesn't get updated after contents of scrollpane change

Hi,
I some content in a scrollpane. The horizontal scrollbar(thumb) is showing because the content is to big to fit horizontally.
The problem is if the content changes, i.e. gets smaller for example, the scrollbars don't get updated. Only after touching them with the mouse do they shrink/grow accordingly.
Is this a bug (it looks like it)? Is there a workaround?
Thanks in advance,

Sounds like a bug. Can you file the issue in JIRA?
Thanks!

Groups field in Windows Active Directory doesn't get updated

Hello IDM Experts,
I am trying to append one more group to a few hundred users in AD. When I run the below code, I am not getting any error and at the same time the groups field in AD doesn't seem to get updated either. Any thoughts? Thanks!
<Activity id='1' name='CheckOut'>
<Action id='0' name='Check Out AD' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
    <Argument name='op' value='checkoutView' />
    <Argument name='type' value='User' />
    <Argument name='id' value='$(userId)' />
    <Argument name='authorized' value='true' />
    <Argument name='subject' value='Configurator' />
    <Argument name='Form' value='Empty Form'/>
    <Return from='view' to='userview' />
</Action>
<Action id='2' name='Change AD Values'>
    <expression>
      <block>
        <append name='userview.accounts[Sample Domain].groups'>
          <s>CN=grp_ext_owner,OU=Task Groups,OU=Groups,DC=sample,DC=com</s>
        </append>
        <ref>userview.accounts[Sample Domain].groups</ref>
      </block>
    </expression>
</Action>
<Action id='3' name='Check In AD' application='com.waveset.session.WorkflowServices'>
    <Argument name='op' value='checkinView' />
    <Argument name='view' value='$(userview)' />
    <Argument name='authorized' value='true' />
    <Argument name='subject' value='Configurator' />
</Action>
<Transition to='end' />
</Activity>

Some ideas...
1) Do you have a mapping of the groups attribute in your Sample Domain resource adapter? One element should read similar to:
<AccountAttributeType id='10' name='groups' syntax='string' mapName='groups' mapType='string'/>2) Is the groups attribute already a list? If not (e.g. no groups yet assigned), the append statement might not actually do anything.
3) Your statement below the append doesn't actually do anything. Well, it should not break anything, but who knows.

J1iex issue : J_1IEXCDTL GR qty doesn't get updated

Hi ,
we have a process like .... Capture excise invoice , MIGO 103 , MIGO 105 and Post excise invoice.
Facing one issue wherein system is not updated GR QTY in J_1IEXCDTL table.
The step I am following are
1) Capturing excise invoice ( Say number is 100 and excise invoice internal number 45)
2) Cancelled that excise invoice
3) Re-creating exscise invoice with same number ( 100 and excise invocie internal number 46)
4) Did MIGO 103
5) Perfomred MIGO 105
6) Now cancelled MIGO 105 ,
Issue 1 : It changed the status of both excise invoices 45 and 46 (internal numbers) to "IN PROCESS"
Actually the Status of 45 should be CANCELLED and 46 should be "IN PROCESS"
Issue 2 : Generally reversal of MIGO , updates the "Qty of Goods received" in J_1IEXCDTL but in this case Qty doesn't get chaned to 0 for Excise invoice 46.
Issue 3: Because of all these issues , we are not able to cancel Excise invoce 46. System is throwing an error
" REVERSE the material document before invoice cancellation"
have u guys encountered such types of issue ...
regards
Shrey

Hi,
After canceling the GR thru MIGO, please go to J1IEX & select cancel & save it.
It will help to change the status form in process to cancel in excise books.
Hope above will help.

Some flash web content doesn't show up on certain computers

Hi,
I've just put up a portfolio website- catmerrick.com- and a

thoughts as to why this might be, and what problems I should be
looking for? I would be extremely grateful for your help, and thank
you for your time...
Best,

It may be that people who fail to see your content also fail
to have
Flash Player 9 (or any version of Flash Player) installed.
Using something
like Geoff Stearns' SWFObject, you can very easily display
default
content -- such as text or an image -- to let people know
they need to
install the plugin. Meanwhile, people have *have* the plugin
(and a high
enough version) will automatically see your Flash content.

Microphone not working in Firefox Flash Applets

I have Arch 3.6.6-1. I am trying to use my laptop microphone on a website with flash content. The sound on my system is configured using pulseaudio (Version 2.1).
Specifically at www.duolingo.com, where I'm unable to access any settings or set any permissions with regards to access to microphone device.
I am able to use arecord to record a sample from the microphone and replay it. I am also able to use my microphone on gtalk through gmail where the settings state that it is recording from "Built in Analog Audio". The same show up on pavucontrol in the Recording section when active.
Whereas on duolingo, when the flash recording applet loads up, no recording stream is shown in pavucontrol.
I believe I'm missing some configuration here, which I have been unable to find after multiple google searches.
Please advice.

Yeah as I mentioned sound is working in firefox. The microphone is also working as far as gmail chat is concerned.
But the microphone is not detected for flash websites.

Firefox opens some University eJournals contents list but for others crashes

With iMAC I have been using Firefox very well to access University eJournals, eResources, but suddenly despite all updates ok, disk utility based repair all ok, with privileges of the University resources, some jouranls sites- list of contents, click download works, but with some, such as the BMJ, on clicking the name of the J that should open the list of contents for downloading pdfs, it crashes with the following message.
Error message:
The connection was interrupted
The connection to libsta28.lib.cam.ac.uk:2416 was interrupted while the page was loading.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Resetting several times did not solve this problem.

Hi some of my mail doesn't get through. Using mail and me/mac/icloud addresses

Hi ... I'm losing mail and I can't figure out why it's not getting through. Have three devices (iMac & MacBook, running Mac OS X 10.7.5, and iPhone 4, running iOS 6.0.1). I use apple's mail program and have icloud account. Yet some folk can't send me mail. Any ideas???

Thanks for picking up on this issue. The mail doesn't bounce back, so they think it's gone out OK. We've established that emails come through as long as there is no attachment. The sender is in my address book, so I'm at a loss as to what else I can check/do. Any suggestions?

Site doesn't get updated

I've created a site with iWeb, embedded a song and clicked on the Publish button. The site was published, but I forgot to make the song loop. So I went to iWeb and checked the loop box in the Inspector (quicktime tab). I saved the change and hit Publish. However, when I visit the site the song doesn't loop.
Am I missing something?
TIA

Dan:
Try using the File->Publish All to MobileMe option. That often will get all changes uploaded.
As a side note if you've set the audio file to play automatically you might consider setting the volume low before publishing as seen here so it doesn't blow out some unsuspecting visitor who might have their sound turned up high for some other reason. Then the visitor can up the volume as they see fit.

Config.xml doesn't get updated in WLW

Hi,
When I try to update the server port number in the Weblogic Workshop console (via
Tools -> Preferences -> Path -> Port), I was unsuccessful in achieving that. I
changed port number from 7001 to 7010. This doesn't modify the config.xml. When
I start the samples server, it tries to start the server in the same port (i.e.,
7001) causing bind exception. Is this something to do with configuration file
not being updated. Am I getting wrong somewhere?
Any thoughts on this?
Thanks,
Arul

Hi Arulazi,
Adding to Michael Wooten's post, the change you make (via the Tools ->
Preferences -> Path -> Port) only changes the port number to which Workshop
connects to. This will be used when you want the same IDE to connect to
different workshop enabled WebLogic Servers.
This change will not be reflected in the config.xml file.
The information will be updated in the .workshop file found in the
C:\Documents and Settings\username directory.
If you want to change the listen port for the server you will have to edit
it via the server console at http://localhost:7001/console
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Hi Arulazi,
I think this is just you assuming that changing the information in thatdialog
box, effects the config.xml of the WebLogic Server instance Workshop itsusing
I don't think it does anything to the config.xml. It only tells Workshopwhich
WebLogic Server instance you want it to use.
Again, unless you've actually seen some documentation that states thatperforming
the operation you mentioned changes the config.xml, I think the behavioryou are
currently getting is the way it is supposed to be :-)
