Gnome 3 fallback mode for single user

How is it possible to set the gnome 3 fallback mode as default mode for a single user?
All the other users on the system should stay with gnome-shell as default.

Can't exec /bin/sh for single user

Hi,
When I boot up my iMac G5 it sits on the gray screen with the apple and spinning "doing something" icon, and then goes to a terminal window telling me:
"can't exec /bin/sh for single user: Input/output error"
It started doing this last night after multiple beachball of death situations. Anyone have any ideas? Or is it time for this old machine to be put out to pasture?
Thanks

Hi Mungo,
invalid key length is a serious issue that can sometimes be fixed by "heavy duty" utilites like DiskWarrior and Drive Genius.
If you don't have enough room to re-install the OS, though, you have seriously overfilled it and they may not be able to deal with the problem either.
You should always aim to keep at least 15% free space on the drive, preferably more. On my 250 Gig internal drive, for example, I see the beginning of stability and speed problems when I get down to below around 30 gigs of free space. It varies a bit depending on what you use your Mac for, but my own preference is to always aim for 50 Gigs free on this 250 Gig drive.
You have to fix the "keys out of order" problem before you even think of re-installing the OS.
The best solution is to reformat the drive. It is unlikely that it actually needs replacing. However I still think you should buy another drive, but an external one, if you don't have one already.
My approach to your problem would be:
1) Go and buy a nice big external firewire drive if you don't have one already (ideally at least twice the size of your internal).
2) Install OSX on the external drive (You may want to partition it into two volumes first, keeping one partition to store a "cloned backup" of your internal and one for general usage, overflow storage, etc)
3) Boot from the external HD and copy across your precious stuff from the internal drive to the external. (If you have created two partitions on the external you could use the excellent utility "SuperDuper" to "clone" the internal to the second partition - the one witout the OS installed on it)
4) Reformat the internal drive, preferably using the single "zeroing" option.
5) Re-install the OS and software on your internal drive
6) Copy back your data (documents, music, movies etc) to your internal but make sure you leave plenty of free space on it. If you have a large music library , or lots of movies, for example, you might want to keep them on the external, rather than putting them back)
7) From now on use one partition of your external drive for regular "cloned" backups of the internal and the other for general storage overflow etc.
Cheers

Change NWA language for single user

Hello, gurus!
The question is stated above: how can I change NWA interface language only for single user?
Users in our BPM system are fetched from Active Directory therefore I cannot change (as they advise) user for my user from NWA. It is inactive.
Is there any other solution?

It shows that users are stored in LDAP.
Also I'd like to draw your attention to language preferences in my browser
Desirable language (English) is specified as recommended in guidelines, but NWA nevertheless is showed in Russian as you can see.

Init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user.....

Has anyone come across this gem during start-up? it's outputting
init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: No such file or directory
init: can't exec /bin/sh for single user: No such file or directory
init: can't exec /bin/sh for etc/rc: No such file or directory
This shows up after the apple logo on start-up. Any ideas?

That message suggests that Mac OS X isn't able to open a shell or run the startup scripts because one of the items it needs is missing. Fixing this issue will require reinstalling Mac OS X.

MACBOOK won't boot - bin/sh for single user message

Powered up my 3 year old Macbook tonight and it won't boot.
After some while it displayed a message saying I had to restart the Macbook which I did.
Now (agian after a long while) it gets to a black screen then displays (twice) Diskos2: OX2103005 (Undefined) or somethimg like that as it's too small to read then
Launched : Can't exec bim/sh for single user : input output error
Any ideas?
Thanks
Dick

Say, that does sound messed up! But so far sounds like a Hard Drive/Software problem.
Boot from the Install CD/DVD, but do not install. Answer ONLY the "What Language" question and wait for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then Choose Disk Utility from the Utilities Menu.
Select your Hard drive and click ( Repair ) Run it again until it comes clean or gets stuck. If stuck, write down the messages and post them here.
It is also a good idea while you are up to do a ( Repair Permissions ). This only checks the things the Installer installed originally, but that is a lot of stuff. \[Once your Mac is up and running off the Hard Drive, you should Repair Permissions again.]
A Mac that cannot boot from an appropriate Installer Disc has a Hardware problem.

Script for Single User Mode

I manage two school Mac labs and have relied on ARD for many years!
I have been unable to successfully write an ARD script to to force my lab machines to restart in "Single User Mode". This would allow me to run AppleJack 1.5 remotely.
Any help would be appreciated.

When you say you have "OSX" but not the "original install disks" do you mean the mac originally came with an earlier version and you don't have those disks, but you have a retail copy of Tiger?
The circle with the slash means that Open Firmware cannot find BootX. Basically, I think this means that Open Firmware recognises the startup volume as such but cannot hand control to the operating system at all. BootX is what it uses to get the operating system going. Without this, as you've seen, you cannot make even single-user mode.
What is SMU?
*Is your data backed up? If not, prioritise that unless you can afford to loose it.*
Does DiskWarrior repair permissions? If not and you have the Tiger retail version, try running Disk Utility to do that. I don't think this will help, but it won't hurt.
Do you have another Mac? If so and you have the retail Tiger, you might be able to use Pacifist to replace BootX (in /System/Library/CoreServices). Alternatively, if the other Mac is running the same version of the OS and is also a PPC Mac, you could try copying the file from that machine.
Before you do any of this (with the exception of the permissions repair), try to backup any data you need if that's at all possible.

Purchase Order form in Query only mode for some users

Hi All,
I want to make the Purchase Orders form as query only for a single user. I tried by giving 'Query_only=Yes' in the parameters section. I am getting 'FRM-04151: You cannot query records here' message more than 10 time. I know we get this message and this is applicable to all the users. But this message is comming more than 10 times.
Is there anyway that I can restrict the Query only mode to a single user and please suggest about the message also.
Thanks in Advance,
Naresh

Naresh,
Since you want to achieve this for one user only, I would suggest you create a new function/menu/responsibility and assign this responsibility to the user.

Errors while Changing the Database to Mutli User Mode from Single user mode in SQL Server 2012

Hi,
Good Afternoon :). Need your help in resolving one of the issue with SQL Server 2012.
Today, we kept one of the database in the Single User mode and wanted to bring back to Multi User mode. But we are getting the below error. There are no user sessions connected to this database which are blocking each other. I see multiple
SYSTEM sessions are in blocked state.  The blocking is not cleared even affter restarting the SQL services.
Verified the SQL Server Errorlog and couldnt get much useful information to troubleshoot the issue.
pasted the information from the sys.sysprocesses as well for your kind reference.
Msg 1205, Level 13, State 68, Line 1

Cannot disable compatibility mode for all users once enabled

I work for a school district technology department. For a computer lab that is using an old version of adobe Photoshop, we tried turning compatibility mode to windows xp and set it to run as administrator for all users in hopes that it might fix some problems
with the program. When students log on it now asks them for a password. They do not have local administrator rights to the computers. After going back in and disabling the compatibility settings, the students are still being asked for a password to run the
program. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop and the computer is still asking for a password to open the program. Is there some way to undo this in a permanent fashion so students are not asked for a pssword?

Hello Mike Witnauer,
Please correct me if I have misunderstanding:
1. The student account can ran the Photoshop without administrator password before you turn compatibility mode to Windows XP.
2. Then, the students need the password to run the Photoshop no matter if you use compatible setting.
Please take the following steps and check if this issue still exists.
1. Enable built-in administrator account
2. Use the following code
runas /user:ComputerName\Administrator /savecred "Full path to program's exe file"
For more information, please take a look at the answer in the following thread.

Gnome won't start for regular user

I've got Xorg installed, and KDE. These both work fine for regular users. I decided to put Gnome on the box and play with it, and it loads fine for root. When I log in as a regular user and try to start Gnome, it comes up with an ugly desktop, a splash screen, then just an X for the mouse on the ugly desktop.
I'm assuming this must be a permissions problem, but I'm not sure what needs to be changed. I checked out the gnome and kde directories, and everything seems to be owned by root, so I know I'm missing something somewhere.
If permissions, what needs to be changed? If not, then what?

I've upgraded to gnome 2.12, it still doesn't load
As it _tries_ to load, it brings up a message box saying "gnome-settings-handler could not be started" or something to that effect, which basically means nothing can run.
I tried deleting /tmp, didn't work.
I'm getting _really_ frustrated
I dont want to go back to XFCE (I dont want to open another terminal just to eject my dvd drive ever again), and I'm getting insanely sick of KDE.. it's just un-usable..
Sorry if anyone out there likes KDE.. no offence.. but I just find it un-usable..

Any idea why this is happeneing?

Intermittent emails with blank body for single user

Good morning!
I have a client running Exchange 2010 on a SBS 2011 server. There is a single user who will intermittently receive emails in which the body is blank. The affected emails behave this way in both Outlook and in OWA. I know the content is
actually there because if there are multiple threads in the conversation in which an email is sent and then the user replies (this happened with a test email I sent him and then called about because the body was blank when i sent it to him) I can see the body
in the single line preview until that particular message is expanded. Additionally, it seems that if he continues to email back in forth in the same conversation thread, the missing content will appear once he's received an inbound message where the
content displays properly.
To our knowledge this only happens with inbound mail. It happens with multiple senders, there doesn't appear to be just a single source so I haven't set up pipeline tracing since there is not a consistent problem with any one sender. Some messages
will come in fine and others will have a blank body.
Any advice you have would be much appreciated.

I turned up Pipeline tracing on my email address for this user as this is the one address I can control. For all of the emails that turned up with blank bodies in Outlook and OWA I can see the body of hte message in all of the Messaging Snapshots
created by Exchange.

Multiple members for single user variable???

Hi,
Can I select multiple members or a hierarchy for a single user variable?
My requirement is to use a dimension which consist of more than 100 members but the user will not enter data for 100 members
at the same time so I want to give user an option to select the members for which he wants to enter data.
I was thinking of using user variable but it is allowing me to select only one member for user variable created for that dimension,
that means if he has to enter data for 10 members he has to change that variable 10 times or I have to use 10 different user variable for that dimension.
what if any user wants 20 members, at that time I have only 10 user variables.
Please help..
Thanks in advance..

Hi,
Can I select multiple members or a hierarchy for a single user variable?Are the required members descendants of any particular member(hierarchy )?
If so, you can use IDescendants<user variable> in the form's page. And you can also use dynamic user variable option.

ATi, Gnome 3 & Fallback mode.

i'm sure you have been asked this already and i have looked through the forums but couldn't find a specific answer.
I have a Radeon x1900xtx (R580) using the propriatery drivers (lsmod shows: radeon, afaik that is the proprietary driver), since booting up this morning i am unable to run gnome 3. I heard that fglrx is also having issues. what to do?
Thanks.
Unfortunately GNOME 3 failed to start properly and started in the fallback mode.
This most likely means your system (graphics hardware or driver) is not capable of delivering the full GNOME 3 experience.
Last edited by YellowSnowIsBad (2011-05-01 17:51:42)

radeon is the open source driver, fglrx is the closed one. As far as I know, GNOME 3 works fine with the open source driver. Maybe you should check if hardware acceleration is enabled.
