Gnome battery icon and 'Could not change DPMS mode'
Hello,
I run my Arch with latest Gnome (3.2.1) and lately, my battery icon disappeared. Then, after some reboot it showed again (without changes to configuration, packages etc), and now its gone again, for good it seems.
My .xsession-errors output is:

Ok, I reinstalled gdm, added my user to the video group and so far it seems to be working properly, so thank you very much.
Now I just need to see if it will stick that way, since it seems to come and go somewhat randomly.
And btw, I use the presentation mode shell extension, but disabling it did not have any effect.
EDIT:
Ok, it seems the source of the problem was this little addon to /etc/gdm/Init/Default, that I used to launch synergy in GDM:
/usr/bin/killall synergyc
while [ $(pgrep -x synergyc) ]; do sleep 0.1; done
/usr/bin/synergyc 192.168.0.2
Since synergy controls the display power state, it would add up.

It still should work with the power adapter connected. If not, then an appointment at an Apple store genius bar is your best option.

I forgot my answers to security questions. I could not change and I am unable to make purchases at the Apple store. What do I do?
Go to http://appleid.apple.com and select "Manage your account". Log in with your Apple ID and password, then select Password and Security from the left column.
You need to know the answers to your existing questions to reset them. If you don't remember your answers, there may be a link on that page where you can have a reset email send to your Rescue email address. This will not appear if you have not provided a Rescue email address, and may not appear even if you did.
If there does not seem to be any way to reset your security questions, contact iTunes Support here: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ They will respond within a business day. Be sure to check your spam or junk mail folders for their response. -

ipad wont respond to forced shutdown...spins between battery icon and apple icon and short flashes of the home screen
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
I keep getting the message, "the file is damaged and could not be repaired"
I have a newer Gateway PC equipped with Windows Vista Ultimate, and recently downloaded the free Adobe Reader 8.1.1 version to it.
I'm not very computer literate, so I'm not sure which terminology to use all the time...sorry.
When I attempt to open (view, read, download?) a pdf file, it starts the download process, showing the progress at the bottom of the page....for example, it might say, "downloading (16.2kb out of 543.5kb)"
Usually, about a minute or so into the download, the word "downloading" changes to "downloaded", the action stops, and shortly after (on the window with the gray Adobe Reader background), a smaller message window pops up, declaring, "the file is damaged and could not be repaired".
A friend suggested that there was probably a problem with the original downloading of Reader and recommended that I completely remove it from my system, then re-install it. Reluctantly, with a very slow dial-up connection network, I did as he suggested, then painfully sat through about a two-hour download AGAIN of Reader 8.1.1
After the download was completed again, I successfully opened a few of the pdf files which I was previously having the problems with. Problem solved??? NOT QUITE!!! After about three or four successful file downloads (openings/readings of the files), it again started to do the same thing, where it would not complete the downloading/opening process and again leaving the message, "the file is damaged and could not be repaired."
I am very confident that the files are not the problem, as many of my friends have viewed/opened those same pdf files repeatedly with no issues, BUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS??? As I said before, I'm not very computer savvy as it is, and adding the newer Windows Vista Ultimate OS probably hasn't helped any.
1. Is the problem with Windows Vista?
2. Is the problem with Adobe Reader 8.1.1 (or the downloading of it)?
3. Is the problem related to the security settings of my computer?
4. Is the problem likely virus related (I use the purchased McAfee protection)?
I just don't know where or how to start looking for the solution, other than thru this forum, and I simply can't afford the time to remove and re-install Adobe Reader 8.1.1 each time I need the use of my computer.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, and you can e-mail me with suggestions to [email protected], or else call me on my cell

Hello,
I just experienced this problem, and was able to successfully mitigate. I wanted to share my experience and Solution.
The problem started with the following error after succesfully exporting a PDF Document. "There was an error opening this document. This file is damaged and could not be repaired."
This is only applicable if you can still export and open SSRS Reports to other formats. Go to the Log files of the SQL Instance. In my particular case I used the Default MSSQL instance: C:\ Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting
Services\LogFiles
The Folder will begin with MSRS (SRS is for SQL Reporting Services)
Sort the files by date modified and check for the most recent log file: ex. SQLDmpr0000.log The 0000 will be the incremental amount of errors you have experienced in SRS. Check for the following error:
"System.DllNotFoundException: Unable to load DLL 'T2Embed': Access is denied. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070005 (E_ACCESSDENIED))"
Below is a sample from the log.
reportrendering!ReportServer_0-1!1b78!02/07/2012-11:56:03:: e ERROR: Throwing Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.UnhandledReportRenderingException: , Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.UnhandledReportRenderingException:

--- End of inner exception stack trace ---;
If you notice the error states that T2Embed.dll access is denied. In my case this due to a hotfix installed by Microsoft:
MS11-087: Vulnerability in Windows kernel-mode drivers could allow remote code execution: December 13, 2011
Be advised, in order to fix your problem and render pdf's, a vulnerability shall be created.
To fix this issue and allow the export to PDF work correctly, you must give the system Read/Execute Permissions, and Built-in\Administrators Full Control.
Go to Windows\System32 and find the T2Embed.dll Go to Security and modify the permissions as listed above. Do the same to the T2Embed.dll in the SysWow64 folder.
Restart Reporting Services and you will be able to export to PDF.
Best Wishes!

www.lucontech.comI'm not convinced this is the exact cause of the issue. I will check my log files to see if I find anything like what you described. However, I get this error when a particular user tries to do a "print preview" from a custom button. The
code builds a ReportViewer object, sets the ReportPath, etc.
The reason I'm not convinced is because we have a separate reports page that has the report viewer embedded into it. If the user generates the report that way and exports to PDF, Word, etc...the user can generate the file and be on their way. As
soon as the user clicks our "Print" button on the page without the ReportViewer embedded, the above mentioned error occurs.
UPDATE: Perhaps we have a different problem since my issue is from a custom button. I found the solution
here and confirmed the solution with the customer. It had to do with the code using Response.Flush() instead of Response.End().
One thing I noticed before I implemented the change: When you would close the PDF, it would ask you to save changes to the PDF. After implementing Response.End() instead, that prompt went away. No doubt it has to do with the differences between
how Response.Flush() and Response.End() handle the stream returned.
Anyway, posting in case someone has the same issue. -
Good day
I have the situation where we are exporting PDF files from reporting services in our website.
When dividing the data into sections, the report exports perfectly, but when exporting the entire set and trying to open the file, we get the following error in Adobe Reader:
"There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired"
We tried to repair the file, no luck. We tried to use different PDF readers, no luck
We then checked the file sizes. When exporting the subsections, each section exports a file of about 2mb.
When exporting the entire set, the file is about 1.3mb.
Adding all the sections together gives me a rough estimate of 40mb.
Exporting to TIFF works beautifully and returns a file of 41.5mb. Word and Excel formats also work well, only issue there is the page numbering and formatting.
The problem we have is the clients are adamant about having it in PDF format.
Any advice please?This was one of the temporary suggestions I gave the client...
Unfortunately they do not like this as the page numbering and formatting in Word does not appear right. We are talking about over 1300 pages. I can't expect them to change the formatting with each export. Additionally, the data is
constantly changing and each client has their own data. The clients export the reports randomly. I therefore can't post the reports back onto the server.
Thanks for the speedy response though -
There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. Error mess
Hello, I am hoping someone can help me. I have an invoicing program that allows me to send an invoice as a PDF to a customer in an email. It always worked fine but for some reason anyone that gets the PDF email attachment gets the message " There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired". I don't know why this is suddenly happening. I downloaded the latest Adobe Reader 10.1 and that didn't help. I also downloaded the trial version of Adobe Acrobat X and that doesn't help either. I can open all PDFs on my drive but for some reason my program seems to have a problem converting or writing the invoice file to a PDF. Anybody able to help? Thank you very much!
Hi Bill,
Thanks for your response, I'll try and answer your questions as best a possible. I am not printing to anything, just emailing and I'm not sure what you mean by "the adobe PDF printer". I originally could not find for sure what acrobat I was using although there is a file in my C drive with acrobat 5.0. When I tried downloading an update I found for that version, it told me it couldnt download the update because the original is not there. I then downloaded the new trial version of acrobat X in the hopes that may work, but it did not change the issue. I believe my invoicing program uses some internal PDF program inbeded in the invoicing program for the emailing option it provides. I did send the email to myself and it is the same as I send to anyone else, it has that error message. The others in my office can open the invoicing program and email the PDF perfectly fine to themselves and to me, it's only when my computer tries to send the invoice through email that we have the problem. I can view the file (invoice) perfectly fine. I do not not how to check this encoding you are referring to. Do these details help you, to help me?? Thank you again for your help. -
The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
Hi, I'm debugging an Adobe Drive CC connector and seeking advice on the following problem:
After I check-in an Illustrator file, the local copy becomes corrupt.
If I make a change and try to save it, I receive a message stating "The file is damaged and could not be repaired." If I close the file instead, I can't re-open it (same error message).
However, if I Empty Cache in the Adobe Drive Settings that fixes everything and I'm able to open/save the file without any error. (When I check it in, the same problem repeats itself until I empty cache again).
Where does this message come from and what conditions can trigger it? It's difficult to debug without Adobe's sourcecode to step through the event, but I wonder if it has to do with Etag data?
I've confirmed the stream data downloaded by the open & read handlers is not actually corrupt (by setting a breakpoint after the tempfile is written and checking it's md5).
The problem occurs after every checkin of Illustrator files, but never with Photoshop files.
Any advice? ThanksI wish I had an answer, but I at least wanted to post in solidaridity and bump this thread. I've been experimenting with Adobe Drive CC (5.0.1.28) and am also suffering from the "file is damaged" issue.
I am using the CMIS connector and after almost every check in or out the file becomes corrupt -- but only in the Drive cache. If I clear the Adobe Drive cache the file is perfectly fine. I have watched the CMIS traffic in Wireshark and it appears to me that this error is entirely within Drive: it does not get a new copy of the file that's corrupted en route, it just corrupts its own copy in the cache.
I experience this with all file types.
Out of frustration I tried Alfresco 4.2.e, which is supposedly the software Adobe worked with to "polish" the CMIS connector, and the problem is entirely different. Every check in failes with "The operation could no be completed because of an unexpected error. Error Code: -1" and a RemoteIOException in the Drive log.
Drive then announces the file "has changed since I opened it, and it will be updated to the newest version" -- which DOES bring new bytes over the wire and avoids the corrupted local cache. Is that somehow the answer the Alfresco has discovered, to break the transaction and force Drive to refresh the file?
Please, anyone, chime in you've experienced either of these issues. I have yet to see a successful use case for Adobe Drive over CMIS, but surely someone is using this product?
Thanks. -
My MacBook Pro crashed while I was rewriting a book, lost more than an hour of work and could not find a way to restore it. Did not have Time Machine set up, but it appears that Time Machine does not have Real Time back up and documents must be manually stored.
I need an automatic, real time back up to keep this from happening - I'm not happy my MacBook has crashed twice now. What is the best cloud system for Real Time backup? Thanks to anyone who can help me, I'm not the most astutde computer guy... JamesOne way would be to use Dropbox, or a similar sync service, and just keep your critical documents in the appropriate folder. Dropbox, at least, keeps a local copy of everything and syncs automatically to the cloud whenver a change is made. Dropbox is free for up to 2GB of data.
There are also true backup services such as CrashPlan+:
http://www.crashplan.com/consumer/crashplan-plus.html
which provide automatic backups whenver a change is detected. It's not free, but usually such services aren't too expensive unless you need to back up a lot of data.

Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

MS Word 2007 Problem: Could not Change Doc Template
I started getting an error when I open a rules document through OPM. The document usually opens ok, but OPM gives the error "Oracle Policy Modeling was unable to open the document as an error occurred with MicroSoft Word: Could not change document template.
Usually, I can work in the document with no problems, but sometimes when I do the compile of the document that got this message, the compile and save works, but then Word crashes. The compiled document is available through OPM, but it thinks the document needs to be compiled on a build. I've learned to continue without compiling, otherwise Word will crash again.
Other times, the document compiles just fine with no problems with Word.
Occasionally, Word loses the Add-ins list. I've figured out how to attach it again.
Everything was fine until about 2 weeks ago. The only difference I can think of is that Word did an automatic update. I uninstalled and reinstalled OPM, but it hasn't made a difference.
I'm running OPM 10.1.0.27 on XT.
Any ideas? Thanks,
TerryHi Terry,
Try the following workaround:
1) Rename the word 2003 template (Policy Modeling Word Template) in c:\program files\oracle modeling\templates to another filename
- This is to force Word 2007 not to load the Word 2003 template
2) Open the Word document from Policy Modeling
- To load the Word 2007 template and attached it to the document
3) Save the document
(Thanks to Red Canda for this.)
