Have to use fallback image to boot to RAID5/LVM kernel26 2.6.29.1-3

Just upgraded to 2.6.29.1-3, and I couldn't boot afterwards.  At first I thought it might be some hardware changes I made, so I reverted those but made no gains.  If I don't use the fallback image, I see messages saying /dev/sda3, /dev/sdb3, /dev/sdc3 are not valid devices, and then mdadm fails to assemble its array and LVM fails load its volume, and then I'm kicked into the recovery console, which doesn't help much as my usb keyboard doesn't function at that point.  Anyone else having issues?

Ah, thanks for pointing me to that.  Edited my mkinitcpio.conf to be like tpowa suggested and all is well again.  The RAID guides in the wiki could stand to be edited...

  • Which Datatype I have to use for Images in MS-Access Database.

    Hi Friends...
    I am Atif. I have stucked in a query. Please suggest me. 
    Which Datatype I have to use for Images in MS-Access Database ?
    Thanks in advance..
    Regards
    Atif

    Depends upon whether you are referring to a variable or the data type of the column in which to store the data. For a table you should use an OLE Object. For example, you could use something like the following to store an image into a Access table from a
    PictureBox (sans OLE header):
    Dim AccessConnection As New OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
    "Data Source=C:\Test Files\db1 XP.mdb")
    Dim AccessCommand As New OleDbCommand("INSERT INTO BlobTable (ID, BLOB) " & _
    "VALUES (@ID, @BLOBData)", AccessConnection)
    Dim PictureMemoryStream As MemoryStream = New MemoryStream()
    Form3.PictureBox1.Image.Save(PictureMemoryStream, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg)
    Dim BLOBData(PictureMemoryStream.Length - 1) As Byte
    PictureMemoryStream.Position = 0
    PictureMemoryStream.Read(BLOBData, 0, PictureMemoryStream.Length)
    AccessCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("ID", 7)
    AccessCommand.Parameters.Add("BLOBData", OleDbType.LongVarBinary, BLOBData.Length, DataRowVersion.Current).Value = BLOBData
    AccessConnection.Open()
    AccessCommand.ExecuteNonQuery()
    AccessConnection.Close()

  • Swapped drive with SSD, now have to use option key to boot

    I recently replaced my HD in my Macbook Pro with an SSD.  I used SuperDuper to create an image to an external USB drive that I had.  I then removed the stock HD from the Macbook Pro, replaced it with the SSD, booted with the Lion install disc and went into disk utility, created a partition (Journaled, guid) and restored my SuperDuper image to it.  Now, every time I reboot my MBP, it sits at the gray screen (no apple logo) for quite a while, then finally the apple will pop up and it will boot, although quite slowly.  If I hold down the option key when I reboot, the option comes up right away for the SSD, I click it and it's very fast to boot.  Once in the OS, the speed is awesome and no problems.  I also used Onyx to check the startup volume, repair permissions, etc and everything went off without a hitch.  No errors and according to that my startup volume is OK.  Also updated to the latest 10.7.2 patch and that went fine too, although I had to use the option key on reboot.
    Does anyone know what I could investigate that could be causing this boot issue.  I'd like it to boot directly into the OS quickly without the option key.  Is there somewhere that I have to specify a new primary boot device or something?

    Go into sys preferences then startup disk and check highlight the SSD and select Reboot.
    You also need to enable TRIM support.

  • I thought apple is user friendly. That is why I bought it. I do not have a use to download my boot camp assistant for a compatible to microsoft words, excel, powerpoint. They told me I have iWork's for all of this products but mine is not working.

    To whom it may concern.
    I bought an apple product which is MacBook Air about 7 mths. ago . Anyway I would like to download a compatible words, excel, powerpoint. they told me that I do not need it since IWORKS is all I needed. I tried my keynote , numbers does not worked. Somebody emailed me sending me this mumbo jumbo for it to work. Well, if I was a computer wiz, I probably will not be asking for help.
    I followed the tutorials for windows for mac, followed every instructions, hold and behold another problem. I have to have a usb, when I bought this at Best Buy, I asked them what do I need , they said that I do not need anything else because it is all in there. So to make a long story short. I am just so frustrated .
    How can I download the windows for mac, I know I have to start in utilities , boot camp assistant, then the usb problem. Please I need help, it is much needed for my job. Ipages does not saved anything, I mean nothing it just disappeared , and you do not have any idea how much I have the long hrs. I have put in.
    Thank you so much for your help. I really appreciate this .

    You can buy Microsoft Office for Mac, it includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Or you can download a free copy of LibreOffice which contains substitutes (good ones) for the Microsoft Office programs.
    Do not even think of using Boot Camp unless you have a complete and current TM backup or a clone to restore if it goes wrong. You will also need to buy Windows and Microsoft Office for it. And you MUST read the directions very carefully.

  • Configuring Century link modems in firefox fails to save configuration. I have to use ie to configure the modem

    Details of problem: When I make changes on the selection page and submit it. The changes are ignored by the router. This is an issue with all firefox versions from about version 20. Other are also having this issue see question 958502.

    however
    it also fails using windows 7 and firefox 25
    right now I have to use ie which means booting a virtual machine and going through the same steps except it actually works!

  • I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically.  I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive.  will that delete the windows partition too??

    I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows.  I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto.  I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system.  My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too.  If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

    There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
    You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
    If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
    Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

  • Why can I no longer use an image for my signature on forms?  The only option I have now is "use a certificate".  It was never like this until today.

    Hi,
    I had never heard of someone using the iPhone Number as the ID in the iMessages account in the Mac version.
    i.e without adding an Apple ID
    iMessages does allow iPhone numbers and mine lists mine.
    I would try this.
    Sign Out of the iMessages account and Quit Messages
    On the iPhone in Settings > Messages remove the Apple ID
    Set the iPhone to Airplane mode for a few minutes (to break with the  Server)
    On starting the phone up again check the iPhone Number  is ticked for iMessages.
    If it is add the Apple ID
    On the Mac restart Messages
    Add the Apple ID
    At this point you should get a pop up or two saying the iPhone is using the Number and Apple ID.
    Accept these and they get added to the Receive At list and Send From drop down.

    I'm thinking of using Final Cut Pro to straighten slightly crooked footage and then re-import back to iMovie to complete the video. Does this have any impact on image quality?

    As your rotate the image, you will begin to see black edges. So, as Tom implies, the image must be scaled up to hide those voids. If you shot 4k ad are editing in a HD timeline, no problem, lots of room to spare. If you shot 1080 and are editing in a 1080 timeline, you will run into issues at a certain point. However, if your 1080 project is going to be transcoded to 720 or ye olde DVD you won't notice any deterioration at all.

  • How to create a Pooled VDI infrastructure using Win server 2012 as VM image?I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM

    I have followed the "usual" way to build a pooled VDI desktop using Win7 or Win8 with success, but it fails when I use an image of Win Server 2012 as VM instead.
    Am I overlooking something?  Should I need to prepare the image in a different way? (Sysprep differently?)
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Thank you for your posting in Windows Server Forum.
    Can you specify the error which you are facing during VDI setup for server 2012?
    I might think that you need to check the memory setting for server 2012, as might happens that due to less memory you can’t setup the VDI setup properly. 
    Memory: If the Master VM is configured with static memory, it must have at least 1024 MB as startup RAM. If the Master VM is configured with dynamic memory, the maximum RAM must be at least 1024 MB.
    Please check beneath article for information.

    From reading Vista forums support for SSD is one of the things Vista SP2 and Windows 7 hope (need) to improve upon. I was in a similar discussion once befoe on SSDs:

    That won't solve performance issues, but should work.

    "My guess is that [Samsung and Microsoft] are maybe working on the OS recognizing an SSD with a 4K-byte sector size instead of a hard disk drive with a 512-byte sector size," Wong said.
    Sun is already working with Samsung to bulk up SSD support on the ZFS (Zettabyte File System), which is included in the Solaris OS, and will also be supported in Apple's upcoming Mac OS X 10.6, codenamed Snow Leopard. Sun is adding capabilities to boost the durability and performance of SSDs on ZFS-based operating systems. For example, Sun may add defragmentation capabilities for SSDs, which organizes data in a particular order to enable quicker data access.
    SSDs were not considered ideal for defragmentation because of limited read-and-write capabilities, Wong said. However, Samsung and Sun in July jointly announced an 8G-byte SSD that bumped up durability from 100,000 read-and-write cycles to 500,000. That brings defragmentation in SSDs closer to reality, which could improve its caching and provide quicker access to data. Sun plans to put SSDs into storage products later this year.

  • HT5517 How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad

    How can have full picture using mirrored image from iPad on my Apple TV airplay

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Mirroring won't fill the TV screen. The iPad has an aspect ratio of 4:3 and the iPhone 4S or prior an aspect ratio of 3:2, neither of these will fit exactly into a TV screen which as an aspect ratio of 16:9. The Apple TV will not zoom the mirrored image, because it may well cut off information which is situated at the top or bottom of the screen.
    You may wish to try each of the settings in ‘Settings > Audio & Video > Adjust for AirPlay overscan’ for the best setting that suits you.
