G5 Possible issue with heat

Hi Guys,
I posted a couple of months ago about a problem with my computer. Took it in and had it fixed. Everything was fine until a very hot day a couple of weeks ago when I played a rather long game of civ iv and the machine crashed. Since then it has been quite volatile at crashing.
I believe that there is a problem with the temperature of one of the cpus. I have used both Temperature Monitor and X Resource Graph. X Resource Graph suggests that CPU A Die temperature is above 70 degrees celcius (about 155 F) and that the CPU A Exhaust fan is rarely going very fast (normally at 300 RPM and occasionally going to 600 RPM under heavy load) whereas the CPU B Exhaust fan is typically over 1000 RPM. Temperature Monitor on the other hand claims that the Die temperatures of both CPUs are around 50 degrees celcius but after turning off the computer and opening it up it was very clear that the top CPU was significantly hotter than the bottom CPU.
There is also notable airflow from the bottom CPU fan out of the case with very little from the top CPU fan.
Any suggestions? I guess my thoughts are that the CPU A Exhaust fan isn't working but whether it is the fan, the connection to the fan or the fan not being activated correctly.
Are there any fan control programs for the G5 so I could see if the fan was working?
James

Hi, James.
For the crashing, you could boot from the supplied system disc and and run Disk Utility > Verify Disk (and Repair Disk, if problems are found) on the internal boot drive
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=162662
If DU finds problems it can't fix then you could try Disk Warrior
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/index.html
You will need to boot from the Disk Warrior CD or download and install it on another drive - and then boot from that other drive - in order to repair your boot drive.
Further solutions for crashing were covered in your previous thread.
For the fan problem, you could download and run Hardware Monitor
http://www.bresink.de/osx/HardwareMonitor.html
which has more functions than Temperature Monitor, and includes Upper and Lower Limits, where these have been specified.
It should be noted that on an 'Original' G5, OS X (and Hardware Monitor) report the fan speed instructions being sent to the fans, not the actual speed of the fan. On this Original G5 DP2, CPU Die Temps are usually within about 2degC of each other, and the Intake and Exhaust fan speeds (or, at least, the OS X-instructed Intake and Exhaust fan speeds) rise and fall in approximate unison.
Intake and Exhaust fans should turn continuously, not dropping below the Specified Lower Limit.
You could try running the Apple Hardware Test
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/aht.html
and, if you have AppleCare, download, burn a CD, boot from it and run TechTool
https://support.apple.com/techtooldeluxe/main?id=dl
Apple-Certified Technicians can run a Thermal Re-calibration Utility - but this is normally used after CPU or logic board replacement.
Sometimes re-installing the combo updater helps
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
Please post again if you have any further questions. If you have questions about the way Hardware Monitor works, there is a Contact the Author option in the Help menu. Good Luck.

Issue with heat maps refresh process in EID 3.1?

Issue with Heat Maps in EID 3.1? Heats maps don't refresh unless you go back to home page and then again go back to the Endeca app.
In Oracle Sample app if we open the Map tab we will see that Milwaukee is really hot in the heat map. now if we filter the data to just show data from 100 miles within Orlando, FL then the map will get refreshed to show that area but the colors on heat maps do not change.
Now if we keep the refinements same and go back to home page and again go back to sample app and maps tabs then it will still show area of 100 miles within Orlando, FL which is good but now heat map would have updated and it would show us correct color.
Now if we remove the refinement then it would show complete US map as hot which is again wrong.
I have observed this issue in chrome browser as well as firefox.
Is there anyway to overcome this issue?

This issue was resolved after applying latest patch from Oracle.

Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2.

Hi, I had recently purchased ipad3 and but obviously have been having issues with heating up and some minor issues with video playback etc. Apple has agreed to replace my device. I need help in deciding whether i should get a new ipad3 or opt for ipad2. Seller is willing to replace it with ipad2 as well..
Have also heard that the ipad3 revamped version is around along with the mini pad rumor..too much information - lot's of confusion pls help

Lindsay,
Your iBookG4 is still a pretty awesome Mac. Like already said, it has the power to run Leopard, but it depends if you have an internal DVD drive.
Then I suppose you have to add up the cost of the OS, perhaps another 512MB RAM, iLife 08 and replacements for any favourite apps that you currently use (Leopard breaks a lot of stuff, but Intel breaks even more). Compare it to the cost of a new MacBook, which wil have all of that included and be 3-4x faster too.
It also depends on what you want to achieve with your iBook. My PMG4 still cuts it today, I still use it in preference to my new Mac Pro, It's about the same age as your iBook, and I'll only stop using it when it becomes "painfully" slow. My 1 year old son currently uses the Mac Pro (parts for a Mac Pro are easier to replace than those for a PMG4).
I think your choice is simple, if you can a cheap copy of Tiger, use that, it'll get your iPod Touch up and running. It came in DVD and 4 CD version (by request).
Leopard will work for you too but a lot of the best eye-candy requires quite a meaty graphics card and you may need a RAM upgrade and replacement software - OS9 Classic is not supported in Leopard.

What's possible issue with original Airport?

Hi,
I recently just purchased a used Powerbook G4 867 512M and installed an original airport card. The signal strength indicator seems to flicker in and out from no strength to highest but mainly resting at the "second" bar strength. This laptop is sitting next to a G4 tower which is getting full strength. Is there a possible issue with my laptops connectivity? Should I re-seat the airport card? What could be the issue?
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
Duane. Althoughity, I didn't verify whether the card had any physical connectivity issues, I don't think that is the problem. I made the simple move in location and that seem to have change the "bar" strength. I guess where I was was not a good area for network connectivity. Thanks for possible solutions and causes.

Possible Issues with Duplicate Training Database?

Hello everyone!
First off, please forgive my ignorance! I've only been working with databases lightly over the last couple of years, and thus far only with MySQL and MS SQL.
Recently the company I work for purchased a new software package that required Oracle. We purchased a copy of Oracle 10.2 as part of the deal and the company that sold it to us, and set it up for us, has denied us dev access to the database, on our server, because it would expose their underlying data schema. I wasn't in change when the decision was made and we spent the money on a crippled copy of Oracle, but that's in the past.
Because we don't have dev access to Oracle we're unable to create a training database for this new software in house. We have to pay this company to create a test environment for us. I was told it would cost $500, until the tech said he was going to install Oracle on our training server.
At this point I stopped him and said at $500 they'll either be breaching their licensing agreement, or giving us a free copy! The other possibility is that they were going to install this and then just bill us for Oracle later on, despite quoting the job at $500.
The tech who was about to do the installation went to check with someone more senior and then returned to inform me that installing the second copy of Oracle would indeed require more licensing fees.
This verified what I already had told him, and I said we want a training database on our existing Oracle server, and then training copies of the new software can just point to that training database.
He now needs to take time with the more senior technicians while they're "analyzing the existing database server/environment". He was trying to talk me out of installing a training database on the existing server, and instead buying another copy of Oracle, which I believe to be a total cash grab. He had no solid reason why he couldn't do it, but refused to anyway and said he needs to talk to a more senior tech (the same one who said that yes, we'll need to purchase a second copy of Oracle rather than use a second database on the existing server).
So, these two databases, one live data and one a duplicate of that live data used in a training environment where changes won't be reported against, should be able to exist peacefully should they not? The same version of the same software accessing the same data from the same server, just a different database, shouldn't present any problems with my limited knowledge of Oracle! There will only ever be maybe 5 connections to the training environment at a time, and the server should be able to currently handle twice as many users connected as it's current maximum (edit: expected) load.
I know this wouldn't be a problem with MySQL, or MS SQL, and Oracle is a superior database package, so can anyone think of any legitimate reason that might back up the claim that having that duplicate database will be a problem?
Thanks in advance for any guidance here!

Thank you very much John!
We have a per user license and I don't expect our training needs to exceed even a half dozen people at a time to start (A small, significant, fraction of the initial user base). In the future we can easily recommission other resources, or purchase more. The whole project is in the earlier stages anyway, so the needs are smaller now (but the money we spend on licensing could be recurring).
I understand the requirements angle from a server perspective, but those points you brought up drill down into what I need to know a bit more.
I doubt rollback segments would be necessary, I was thinking more along the lines of scheduled replication/duplication of the production database on a weekly or monthly basis, just to keep the material at least somewhat up to date.
I also don't think temporary table space would put much load on storage either, at least in the long run.
RAM isn't much an issue with a 64 bit version running either, for our needs now at least.
My instinct, and what you mention about even potential impact of altering the existing database schema enforces this, is that it's basically safer to create a separate database, but less resource intensive to alter the schema of an existing Oracle database to suit training needs (in this situation, maybe, making some vague assumptions about software probably), if done correctly (although still carrying risks).
I do wish I had the time to read up on this more now, and I will as soon as I have the time.
I probably will download 10g express edition to familiarize myself a bit more now, as soon as I come up with an application for it, to at least try out whatever I read.
Thanks for the advice

Possible Issue with Latest Office 2001 Update

In the last few days my MB Air mid-2013 with Mavericks did an Office 2011 update to Version 14.3.9. Today I used it for the first time and Excel crashed each time I tried to use it. To get the job done I had to revert to the earlier build (version 14.3.8) from a backup and that appears to work normally.
I don't know if this is an issue with Mavericks or if the update to 14.3.9 would have crashed with ML, too. Nor do I know if Word would have crashed since I had to get the task in Excel done before an appointment.

Apparently cannot edit the above. Title should have Office 2011, not Office 2001

Possible issue with DFS and CSC error 80070035

I have a handful of users who have a strange, recurring issue with Offline Files and DFS in Win7 SP1 x64.
We have a DFS root \\domain.local\DFS. Server ukln1fs1 is a root replica, running a fully patched instance of Server 2012 R2. dfsnamespace is a DNS alias of ukln1fs1, and the SPNs for host/dfsnamespace<.domain.local>
and cifs/dfsnamespace<.domain.local> are registered with that server.
Clients have the Documents folder redirected by GPO to
\\dfsnamespace\DFS\-teamfolder-\-username-\docs and redirection works fine.
Sometimes when clients are disconnected from the network and then reconnect, or when they start up disconnected from the network and then connect, they are unable to connect to
\\dfsnamespace\dfs. They get error 80070035. Clients can connect to
\\dfsnamespace fine and to the individual shared within the DFS structure. This affects all users on the computer once it has begun occurring, and the only resolution is to restart the computer whilst connected to the domain.
Kerberos is using TCP (MaxPacketSize 0)
LanManServer & LanManWorkstation signing requirements match (EnableSecuritySignature 1, RequireSecuritySignature 0)
Have used FormatDatabase on the CSC service to rebuild the offline files cache.
Latest hotfixes for Win7 file services and offline files components are installed: KB2775511 (enterprise hotfix rollup), all latest hotfixes from KB2820927 (collection of enterprise hotfixes including offline files and folder redirection components), all
latest hotfixes from KB2473205 (file server technology services).
Adapters & bindings order has the SSL VPN adapter at the top followed by the NIC then the wifi adapter. IPv4 is a the higher priority protocol in adapters & bindings.

Please have a look at this blog (DFSN and DFSR-RO interoperability), it may help you somehow.

[SOLVED] Possible issue with makepkg or gnupg 2.1???

I am quite willing to admit that it's possible I'm totally stupid and missing something basic, but I just wanted to see if this makes any sense to you folks. Basically, I'm wondering if there's a regression in makepkg or gpg-agent with GnuPG 2.1.
Step 1: Verify the condition of my personal keyring.
gpg -k | grep Xyne
No results. Good.
Step 2: Verify the condition of pacman's keyring.
sudo pacman-key --list-keys | grep Xyne
No results. Good
Step 3: Use pacman-key (NOT my local GPG keyring) to import Xyne's key and trust it.
sudo pacman-key --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key -u
Step 4: Try to install pm2ml, signed by Xyne, and use makepkg to verify that yaourt is NOT the problem. This will not work.
yaourt -G pm2ml
cd pm2ml
makepkg -s
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz ... FAILED (unknown public key 1D1F0DC78F173680)
Step 5: Check that I'm not crazy.
sudo gpg --homedir=/etc/pacman.d/gnupg --verify pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz.sig
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg'
gpg: assuming signed data in 'pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz'
gpg: Signature made Tue 30 Dec 2014 05:55:07 PM MST using RSA key ID 8F173680
gpg: Good signature from "Xyne. (key #3) <[email protected]>" [full]
Step 6: Import Xyne's key into my local GnuPG keyring, which I should definitely not have to do:
gpg --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
gpg --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
makepkg -s
Makepkg will work at this point. I have tried this three times, and I can duplicate it 100% of the time.
Is my configuration messed up, or can anybody else duplicate this? I'm wondering if the gpg-agent since GnuPG 2.1 doesn't switch home directories or something and refuses to see a new key even though I just imported it? It seems like the key and the signature are both clearly valid, but I can only get Xyne's package to verify using makepkg if I import his key into my ~/.gnupg keyring.
Again, I could be totally stupid, but I legitimately do think there might be a bigger issue.
Thanks.

Okay, sorry! I didn't know that was intended behavior. That actually makes me a lot happier.
It just didn't seem intuitive to me that I would have to add the developer's public key to my own keyring rather than to pacman's keyring. Almost guides I had previously read previously said I needed to use pacman-key to import the public key.
This thread can be marked as solved, because there is no issue.

Jedi Academy 1.01e Multiplayer Freezes iMac - Possible issue with Leopard?

Just migrated everything over from my old iMac G4 17" to the new Intel iMac, Jedi Academy single and multiplayers seem to be freezing my iMac hard. I have downloaded the UB patch (1.01e) from Aspyr, made sure all Apple software was up to date, done a clean install after clearing out all the prefs/.plists for it and it will still lock up.
This occours trying to run Multiplayer, it gets to either 'Awaiting Snapshot' or just joins the server and the system freezes.
I've been working with Aspyr's technical support, initially they could not get the problem to happen in single player but when they tried multiplayer they experienced the same problem of it freezing the computer. They have passed it on to their Dev team as a possible Leopard problem but figured I'd mention this here as well in case other users have this issue.

Cannot say, can you use Real Player until it is solved, or flip for mac?

Possible issue with MSI Live Update 5

Hi guys, purchased a brand new MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G GPU from Scan.co.uk just before Christmas.
Whilst playing around with GPUz i happened to notice that my card appears to have had at least one new BIOS for it (possibly two) since release. I downloaded MSI Live Update 5 from your site and ran the tool however it reports my GPU BIOS Version as unknown and doesn't find any BIOS updates for my card.
Just wondering why this would be and if i can get a link to the latest BIOS and instructions on how to manually flash.
My system specs are as follows
AMD FX8350 @ 4.8Ghz 1.55v / Corsair H100 Cooler
ASUS Sabertooth R990FX R2.0
16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9 @ 1866Mhz CL9,9,9,24-2T
MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G
2 x Sandisk Ultra 256GB SSDs in RAID 0
Fractal Design Define XL R2
If you need any further info please let me know. Thanks

First off this is a Users-to-Users Forum not MSI tech support if you wanted to address them. Don't use LU5 as it is quite buggy. You can't see if there are new vbios versions available as you can't compare gpu-z numbers or such. Different batches of the same model can use different vbios versions which have different (higher or lower) version numbers. A higher version number might be a different not newer vbios. To check your S/N and a copy of your current vbios is required.

Cups software possible issue with headphones

Im not even sure how to word this correctly, but I have a user who uses Bose headphones to listen to music online. This user also uses the Cups software to take calls from the 7942 IP Phone. What happens is when the user takes a call it will stop the music as it should, but when the call is over it doesnt go back to the music. Is there a setting in Call Manager or the software to check? Why wouldn't it go back to regular functions on the computer through the headphones?

I don't think On Screen Dispay is designed for W8. I installed it but had to do with Compatibility settings but did not see a battery drain.
The intel management I disabled in BIOS and never install since I don't have a subscription to the service.
Glad you solved the issue.

Possible issue with Quicktime and VLC

OK,I had updated my Quicktime(7.4)a couple weeks ago and ever since I can't seem to play any avi or mov files with VLC player. Most of the time I get audio but no picture. The error I get after about 5 seconds is "macosx: QT doesn't support any appropriate chroma" Anyone have an idea on how to remedy the problem? I try playing the avi and mov files in Quicktime but they're very choppy.

Suggest that you also post over in the VLC Forums.

Possible issue with MMS and Android

Anybody else getting this?
I can send MMS to anyphone and network except other HTC Hero users on our network, did a bit of searching and found this on the voda forum.
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=33165
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=45884

Hi Mark
Yes I can send MMS no problems at all to any other handset and network and get them in return, but a bunch of my work colleagues who have the handset on this network have the same issue, they didn't realise until I had mentioned it. Sometimes I get the message but it comes up on the screen to download but it won't let me.
The reason I posted was to check how widespread this is, since this handset and O.S is new to BT.

Another Possible Issue with NwSapSetup.exe ??

This is on SAPGui for Windows 7.20 when installed on Windows 7 front end.
Installation server is at Patch 8 with latest SapSetup_Patch.exe applied I am getting an error pop up at end of the install on the front end regarding NwSapSetupUserNotificationTool.exe
I have Customer Support Message opened: 0000773130 2011
Relevant log files are attached to it.
Bob H

Jude,
Were you running as a non-admin user (using LSH on the server for admin rights) ?
I'm getting it on every system I install on WinXP and Win7.
I tested running an install while logged on with local admin rights. DID NOT GET THE ERROR. So can you confirm this?
History of the installation server is: Started as 7.20 Patch 3, Patch 6 w/ Hotfix 3 was later applied, SapSetup_Patch.exe applied, Patch 8 applied and lastly latest SapSetup_Patch.exe was applied.
Check Server - Reports no errors.
The NwSapSetup.log file I provided with my Support message has a pretty clear entry when it happens.

[solved]Possible issue with forum search

This thread does not show up in a search for "xfce" in "Topic subject only".
Edit: apparently, all searches are "described" the same way, so nevermind the rest.
Also, the description for the search is
Topics with posts containing 'xfce'
which seems like a poor description for a search in "Topic subject only".
Topics containing 'xfce'
would be much more appropriate I think.
