First experience -- hot/cold

In  regards to posting: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=59846
My problem with it was first it took 1+ years to close it. In addition, I was a newbie with 0 experience with Arch. Furthermore, I had no problem with the admin closing it forever, except that then person did  not provide a link to the Arch solution (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sudo). Allan (http://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=11253) the admin probably knew it, and may have overlooked it, but he should have added the solution before closing it. In otherwords, my post was incorrect, and the solution allen provided to a newbie was a dumb link that gave him authority (reason) to close it, but  no real solution.
As for the whitespace, I had no X, and was using lynx, for which, I had little experience (damn, now I know why people don't want Adboe taking over the world with so-called internet rich experiences --- just put in plain text. I guess, that's another story...
So, can some adim correct http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=59846  and add a link to the Arch solution?
Regards,
Mark J. Olesen

yep, your right again, Arch is not for the beginer or interested in learning. In otherwords, that's the general  idea of Arch --- piss off if you don't now what your doing.
So, again, I say, install Arch on an old barbones PC X86 architecture, without any previous knowledge of Arch, and  no X --- don't rely on it nel to provide sevices, and see where you get I hate to ifnorm you it's noit arch, but the kernel, that is providing services to the packages that Arch installs by default.
If you don't understand anything I am saying, then I assume you have some modern computer that has the latest kernel, and just goes along with the flow...
My original post is still relevant.
Give it a try with older hardware such as a dell i ...
In addition, someone should update all wikis pertaining to hwd, it is also outdated.
Please, goto your terminal and issue hwd -X (doesn't exist).
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xorg
Try to install it,
First, install the hwd package from the AUR.
(doesn't exist)
There is the cold. Nobody, gives a crap because there system is working, and  nobody else cares to change old documentation.
Get a person who knows nothing about Arch, and nothing about *nix type sytems, and they will be lost. First thier community  doesn't even't try to understand the plight of an underprivliaged user and there beginer comunity is full of people who  already has the greatest working on thier expensive laptops.
Their answer, can't solve it---not my problem.  In other words, it works for me, too bad for you ---  your on your own.

    how do a get a refund on a ridiculously slow downloading rented movie for my apple tv dispite a >5mb/sec down load speed? my first experience with appletv movie rental. no good. rented at 4:30pm. still waiting for standard def movie to finish at 8:10pm. Not good enough.

    Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
    Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
    Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
    Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
    I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
    Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

  • First Experience

    Just wanted to share my first experience with my new Mac Mini Server so others may avoid some frustration.
    Last night, I turned on my brand new Mac Mini Server. I already had an Apple Wireless Keyboard and Might Mouse and plugged in my usual LDC monitor using the HDMI-DVI converter. The first screen I see shows me that I need to turn on my mouse. Great so I do. I then proceed through the first couple screens of Setup Assistant until I have to enter the Mac OS X Server serial key. I then realize it never paired with my wireless keyboard and since I only have old PS2 keyboards and no USB keyboards, I'm presently hosed. So I turn the machine off and reboot a few times to find that Setup Assistant now disconnects the mouse when displaying the big "X" splash animation. Great, I can't even get back to where I was before. So I read the manual and proceed with a remote setup using my MacBook Pro. I install the Server Admin tools and it finds my MacMini. I click to select it and click the Set Up button. Nothing ever happened: Setup Assistant never opened. Great.
    After a while I remember an old KVM switch which just happened to have PS2 inputs and USB outputs so I'm back in business. I finally get through Setup Assisant and now logged in to the administrator account. While running Software Update, it downloads both an Apple Wireless Keyboard firmware update and a Server Admin tools update. Well that probably explains my initial problems. Even after the update, it took several attempts to re-pair the keyboard. I never tried running remote Setup Assistant after that.
    So lessons learned: a.) Make sure your wireless keyboard has the latest firmware updates before turning on your Mac Mini Server for the first time; b.) after installing Server Admin tools from the packaged DVD, check for and install updates before using them for remote setup.

    As you do have a running XP maybe you start with a plain Sun Ray Server (5.2.3) to get started and to get familiar with the system (in fact, we are just using physical Win7 and lot of WTS as backend) ...
    1.) Install Virtual Box (we are are running on ESX)
    2.) Install Solaris x64
    3.) Install Sun Ray Server
    4.) Install Oracle Virtual Desktop Client on your Laptop
    4.) Create a kiosk to your XP laptop like e.g
    -bash-3.00# utkiosk -e pc7145
    KIOSK_SESSION=uttsc
    KIOSK_SESSION_TIMEOUT_DETACHED=12000
    KIOSK_SESSION_ARGS=-l de-DE -E wallpaper -E theming -r scard:on xpXXXX (hostname of your XP PC)
    KIOSK_ENABLED=yes
    as default kiosk ... (called uttsc in Sun Ray, i.e an RDP Connection to your PC)
    5.) start OVDC and connect to your sun ray server, it will show up with with the login screen of your PC.
    more info is here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/sunrayproducts/docs/index.html
    I'm running such an environment for about 200 Sun Rays (HW), OVDC (SW) and in the future iPad Clients (iOS) in production, the only difference to your idea is that we are using ESX as Hypervirosr for the Sun Ray Server and not Virtual Box.

  • Color problem - Hot & Cold areas

    I have downloaded a trial version of Aperture 2 and have been familiarizing myself with its various new features. I played with the preference settings and now my photos are showing "hot" and "cold" areas even after I reset the sliders to 100% for hot and 0% for cold. I have moved the sliders to all possible positions to no avail.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    In your menu bar go to View->Highlight Hot & Cold Areas. Select it to remove the check mark and turn the feature off.

  • HIGHLIGHT HOT & COLD AREAS

    WHEN I CLICK ON THE HIGHLIGHT HOT & COLD AREAS,IN VIEW TO TURN IT ON.
    EVERY PHOTO I GO TO ( IN ANY PROJECT OR ALBUM ,IT`S GOT THE HOT IN RED WHICH CAN BE ADJUSTED )
    BUT THE WHOLE PHOTO, PHOTO`S GO BLUE WHICH MEANS I CAN NOT ADJUST THE COLD SPOTS.

    Hopefully not telling you to suck eggs here but it might be worth watching a few of the tutorials that discuss image editing and adjustments, there are videos on all of the processes you need to understand in order to manage your highlights and shadows. Start at the top and work your way through them, made a world of difference for me.
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/tutorials/
    Also you will find a plethora of information here, specifically a pdf on "performing adjustments"
    http://www.apple.com/support/aperture/
    Hope these help you to understand how to manage the highlights and shadows, hot and cold functions.

  • Conditional Action using hot/cold state to open/close toc

    I'm trying to create a button that will open/close the toc and when clicked will toggle the state of the icon/button from hot/cold.  Basically using an icon with a transparent smart shape as a button.  when the button is clicked the toc will open and the icon will change to the hot state (hiding the cold state icon) then when clicked again the toc will close and the icons will switch back.  I have my action set as shown in the images below.  Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

    Did you read this: Toggle Shape buttons - Captivate 6 - Captivate blog
    Scenario 4 is what you want: have two shape buttons, and use a standard advanced action for each of them.

  • This my first experience with itunes and using a gift carddownloaded an album and only half of a few songs played before jumping to the next song

    This is my first experience with itunes and I chose to download a Mark Knopfler album. The first three songs stopped half way and instantly started the next song. How do I re-load the songs since i now "own" them? Thanks. Luce.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ?

    Hi Friends,
    Is it possible to Migrate Oracle 11g database from Windows To Linux using RMAN hot / cold  backup ? ( as i would like to perform Point In Time recovery)
    (or) The only way is to use RMAN convert as mentioned here  - Transporting Data Across Platforms
    (or) Is there any other method (except exp/imp and data pump)
    Regards,
    DB

    HI
    his post describes the procedure required to migrate a database from Windows to Linux using the RMAN Convert Database command.
    Both Windows and Linux platforms have the same endian format, which makes possible to transfer the whole database, making the migration process very straightforward and simple.
    To migrate between platforms that have a different endian format, Cross Platform Transportable Tablespaces (XTTS) needs to be used instead.
    List of Steps Needed to Complete the Migration
    The migration process is simple, but as it has several steps it is convenient to be familiar with them before running it.
    1. Check platform compatibility between source and target OS
    2. Start the database in read only mode
    3. Check database readiness for transport from Windows to Linux using DBMS_TDB.CHECK_DB
    4. Check if there are any external objects
    5. Execute the Rman Convert database command
    6. Copy converted datafiles, generated Transport Script and Parameter File to Linux
    7. Edit the init.ora for the new database
    8. Edit the Transport Script and Parameter File changing the windows paths to Linux Paths
    9. Execute the Transport Script
    10.Change the Database ID
    11.Check database integrity
    Thank you

  • Hot / Cold Backup

    hi.
    Plz tell me what is hot and cold back up. their difference and usage.
    thx

    A database backup when database is shutdown state is reffered to as cold back up,while a database backup when database is up and in operational state reffred to hot backup.
    cold backup also refer to offline/consistent backup while hot backup refer to online/inconsistent backup.Their usage as above statment showing that ,if yours database does not go for 24 x 7 then go with cold/offline/consistent backup strategy.Cold backups are a reliable piece of any backup strategy cause as i mentioned consistent (consistent=clean not fuzzy),whenever you go to take cold backup first you will have to shutdown the database immediate which cause termination of any active transaction and make them rollback,oracle flush all dirty block from buffers to data file after rolling back any incomplete transaction,a full checkpoint occurence which cause to synchronize alls the CKPT SCN among the database file header as well to control file.Everything is consistent at the time of clean shutdown.
    if you cant afford any break within yours business domain and you have to go with 24 x 7 then you will have to go with online backup , for online backup you will have to turn on the archive mode of yours database which take care of any fuzzy block to be consistent.With online i would recommend you take atleast one time cold backup within a week if possible to make yours life easier.

  • Problems Converting from Form6i to Forms10g/Reports10g - first experiences

    Hello,
    We are converting a Forms6i application to Forms10g.
    There is one fmb-file with a size of more than 3100kb.
    First step and surprise is that after using the
    forms migration assistant for converting the file from
    6i to 10g the size is minimized and now about 1000kb.
    We did not use the migration assistant and opened all
    6i files with FormBuilder10g (WindowsXP)
    Assuming that the conversion will be done if we are saving the file in form10g-builder.
    After doing a lot of chances in the big-fmb file and saving it -
    closing the form and opening it - the changes were lost!
    (Perhaps because there was more than one crash of form builder?)
    My questions are:
    - how can i check if the integrity of my fmb-file is ok?
    - is the minimum hardware requirement for developing a 10g-FMB file on a PC more than > 256MB RAM/450 MHz Processor?
    - for WindowsXP there is a DeveloperSuite 10g PreView -
    what does that mean? when will the final version be released?
    My experiences are:
    - if you are integrating a 10g Report with a parameter form in forms10g: first it does not work - you have to integrate a javabean in forms (encrypted userid in cookie
    before calling the report) or the other solution i read was funny with nearly no security (userid in hex in the url).
    how can u call a 10g report from the web without writing all your credentials in cgicmd.dat and without having oid (single sign on)?
    a solution would be writing your credentials encrypted in a cookie and then calling the report with the parameter form -
    but how? if you have never done java before?
    - handling with formbuilder10g is much more slower than formbuilder6i: is forms10g written in java?
    - you have to do a lot of configuration before calling a report on your development pc.
    thx for any comments and tips
    ps:
    shall i use webforms10g now or learn java/jdeveloper or wait for java.net (=cooperation Microsoft and Sun)? <

    Hello Frank,
    Thank you for your 9i/10i secure calls to web.show_document solution. I spend hours with it but could'nt get it working. I followed all the instructions from the pdf document. Everything looks fine ( java console output included ) but the cookie isn't created.
    I watched the tcp packet for the http header to see if any cookie information was included, but this isn't the case. I switched browsers (IE5 and IE6) and changed their security settings to very low. Nothing seems to matter. Still getting the REP-51018: Need database user authentication error.

  • First experiences with LR 5.0: manual file selection and  Adjustment Brush

    I must admit that I have not fiddled too long with LR 5.0. The reason is quite simple: its extreme slowness, even in comparison with 4.4, which is far from being fast. After slightly retouching some 40 images I fell back to 4.4 and finished testing 5.5 for a while. Anyway, in addition to the speed problem I have collected some - also not too promising - experiences:
    After initially retouching the first image I wanted to copy some of its settings into the rest of the photos. Before clicking on the Sync button I had to select all the target files. Probably because of the relatively small number of images, instead of going to the "Edit / Select All" function I used "Shift+Right Arrow" for the selection. LR simply crashed...
    In several cases I was not able to re-open and modify formerly 'adjustment-brushed' areas. When I moved the cursor above the relevant white 'knob-shaped' mark, nothing happened. The cursor did not even change to hand form, so the "Effect" panel remained dark and the formerly set parameters did not come up. As I kept the cursor there for ages and the image was not 'over-adjusted' (as also indicated by the small size of the associated XMP file), this failure was surely not a result of the above-referred slowness.
    Once I selected an already retouched image, with the Adjustment Brush tool open. The existing adjustment mark came up over a formerly brushed area. Then, without doing anything with the open image, I moved to the next picture. To my surprise, the Adjustment Brush marks of both photos appeared on the last opened image - the one, which belonged to the previous picture and another, associated with the second picture. It goes without saying that I was not able to click on any of the Adjustment Brush marks. Closing and re-opening the Adjustment Brush tool did not help, so I had to restart LR.

  • About hot & cold backups in rman

    Hi all,
    I've found out that with rman 9i the following script:
    - shutdown immediate;
    - startup mount;
    - backup database plus archivelog;
    - alter database open;
    is what I need for a cold backup; somewhere somehow I've caught a glimpse about
    this script
    - backup database plus archivelog;
    which 'should' be able to produce a reliable hot backup, but actually Oracle docs
    is not crystal clear on this point: I'd rather ask if:
    a/ would "backup database plus archivelog" create an usable full backup on
    a 9i archivelogged db?
    b/ would the same statement work on a 8.1.7 archivelogged db? (yes, the syntax is different...)
    hope somebody may shed some light
    thanks for help,
    daniele rizzi ([email protected])

    backup database plus archivelog; is a 9i RMAN command so it cannot be used in 8i. Here is what it does as stated in the Oracle9i Recovery Manager User's Guide and Reference:
    Backing Up Logs Using BACKUP ... PLUS ARCHIVELOG
    When backing up objects other than archived logs, you can specify BACKUP ... PLUS ARCHIVELOG to include backups of archived logs. The command performs the following sequential actions:
    - Runs the ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT command.
    - Runs BACKUP ARCHIVELOG ALL. Note that if backup optimization is enabled (refer to "Backing Up Files Using Backup Optimization"), then RMAN skips logs that it has already backed up to the specified device.
    - Backs up files specified in BACKUP command.
    - Runs the ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT command.
    - Backs up any remaining archived logs generated during the backup.
    From what I read it backs up all current archivelogs, backs up the datafiles, and backs up any remaining archivelogs created during the datafile backup. It basically makes it easier to backup the archivelogs by not having to issue a archvielog backup before and after the datafiles to ensure all archivelogs are backed up.

  • Not a great first experience - what are my options?

    i just had FIOS instlaled on 9/16...I switched from comcast.
    by the end of the second day I had 3 issues:
    1) one of the set top boxes (1 of 3)  just didn't work..the whole installation took about 6 hours. I assume this is something that should be checked before the technician leaves?   - I called and they are drop shipping me another box
    2) the channels the salesman told me I'd get were not the ones i received - meaning there are less than expected - I called about this and the rep told me there is nothing he can do.  The order says this so you get this.   It was like he really didn't care at all if I had a good first use experience with Verizon.   I feel like I did something wrong since I didn't get it in writing when I was on the phone - but I definitely feel like i was overpromised.
    3) I hosted a webex conference call today and my new FIOS  internet kicked me off about 4 times in 4 hours - which stops the meeting for everyone.   The speed appears to be identical to Comcast, but the high frequency of drops is unexpected.  is this normal?
    I haven't returned my Comcast boxes yet and am considering switching back.  Any advice?
    thanks -
    Adam

    That's the problem with this company...what they tell you and what you get are two different things.  One company is bad, the other is worse.  I can't wait for "someone" to show up and end this monopoly. 

  • First time hot sync problems

    I've had to reinstall palm and hot sync applications for a tungsten E2 handheld. When I try to do the hot sync for the first time, it askes me for my handhelds password.  When I type in what I know is the correct password, it is not accepted. I've double checked what the password is, it just won't accept it, any suggestions?
