Home Desktop Paths in Solaris 11

Hello Admins,
I work at the Oracle Broomfield CO campus. I tested Solaris 11 on my office Solaris 10 workstation using VirtualBox to see if DNS and NIS could be properly configured to work in our infrastructure before I installed Solaris 11 as the default OS. However, my login name was changed to comply with Oracle Standards, and thus, my remotely mounted home directory PATH was also changed. Now my desktop Places folders do not point to the correct PATH anymore.
Places >
> Documents
> Music
> Pictures
> Videos
>Downloads
Is there a desktop config file I can edit to correct this?
Thank You
Ismael Moreno

Configure PATH in Solaris 8

Hello!
I want to ask you how to add a new path in Solaris, because I wanna compile Ethereal
source and it say that I don't have GLIB and GTK greater than 1.2.0... bulshit! I have version
1.2.10. Someone told me to add GLIB and GTK libraries path to original path...
Do you know anything about this... please help me!
Thaks.

If it is the library path that you want to set, set it with the variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
If you're having a problem with compiling from source, that's one variable you'll have to set.
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/path_to_GTK_libraries:/path_to_some_other_libraries

QuickTime will not reinstall on my home desktop

Somewhere between April 27, 2011 and last week something happened to the Quick Time installation on my home desktop and now I cannot get it to reinstall.
Pentium IV class processor
Vista Home Premium
iTunes (latest version) installed
When I try and reinstall Quick Time I get this error message:
Insights on getting this squared away will be apprecited.

Re, what else is not working? iTunes is also locking up, which I attribute to some connection to the Quicktime issues.
Yeah ... although the connection is a bit more hazy nowadays, given that a full version of QuickTime no longer needs to be installed for iTunes to work.
I'm not sure why a QuickTime install would need to do anything with those files. But let's try taking the message at its word and see if we can make some progress that way.
Download and save a copy of the QuickTime installer to your desktop. (Don't run the install just yet.)
Configure the PC to start with a clean boot as per the following document:
Perform a clean startup to determine whether background programs are interfering with your game or program
Restart the PC. Don't open any applications. Try an install.
Does that go through any better?

Function module to get desktop path

Hi All,
Is there any function module to get the desktop path?
I have tried using CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>GET_DESKTOP_DIRECTORY, but it is not returning any value.
I can't hardcode "C:\Documents and Settings\<<<user-name>>>\Desktop" as some users have their desktop in "D:\Documents and Settings\<<<user-name>>>\Desktop".
Thanks in advance.

FM to get desktop path

Hi Exports,
    Is there any function module to get the desktop path in our presentation server? It means that I should not browse the path using F4_FILENAME and all. That function module should give my desktop path automatically.
   Or otherwise is there any function module to get my windows user id. Through this I can create desktop path.
Thanks and regards,

each user will have different ID ... so i dont think its possible

I want to get desktop path for client user using webutil

oracle database 11g
oracle forms 10 g
client windows
i want to get desktop path for client user using webutil
as i want to save file in this path

To get the user's path to their Desktop is a two step process. First, you have to echo the %USERPROFILE% to a output file and secondly, read the directory from the output file in to Forms. The code would look similar to the following:
/* When-Button-Pressed trigger */
DECLARE
v_temp_path VARCHAR2(250);
v_temp_file VARCHAR2(12) := 'webutil.log';
f_file Client_Text_IO.File_Type;
BEGIN
Client_Host('cmd /c echo %USERPROFILE%\Desktop > c:\'||v_temp_file);
f_file := Client_Text_Io.FOpen('c:\'||v_temp_file, 'R');
Client_Text_Io.Get_Line(f_file,v_temp_path);
Client_Text_Io.FClose(f_file);
b_dummy := WebUtil_File.Delete_File('C:\'||v_temp_file);
--At this point, you have the path stored in the v_temp_path variable.
--You can assign this variable to a block item or reference it directly in your code.
END;
When you reference the value of the v_temp_path, don't forget to wrap the value in double-quotes (" ") becuase the path will have spaces. Since your plan is to write a file to the user's desktop, your call to FOPEN will look like this:
f_file := Client_Text_Io.FOpen('"'||v_temp_file||'"','W');
Hope this helps,
Craig...

How to change/apply new home folder path to 350+ users?

quick intro:
...had a screwy server, planned a rebuild.
added all active users to a specific group.
Exported said group, exported ALL users, exported anything I could think of!
Have vanilla built 10.4.10 server, few teething probs with a DNS glitch, think I'm over it...
not 100 percent sure, but 4 users I've tested appear to be working.
imported specific group, didnt show any members.
Had to import ALL users before they populated, unfortunatley ALL users appear to have active accounts, only want specific group active
(was I expecting to much?)
In a bid to tidy up home dirs, correct privelages etc.
is there a simple way to apply the same privs to hundreds of folders rather than selecting each one?
I basically want <user> as the owner, <admin> as the group, everyone else none.
Also need to change/apply a new home dir path to 350plus users
What is the easiest way to do this?
TIA

Use the Search feature in WGM (upper right icon). If you want to apply a setting to say all users in the group "Teachers" and the GID is 100 then you would search and "Group ID IS 100. Check the box preform a batch edit. Now make any changes you want and save. WGM will prompt you with a list of users the change will apply to. Also if you don't check the box you will see a list of all users in that group, you can use this to delete all the members of another group OR export only the members in a group (highlight them all after a search).

The following terminal command will apply privileges to every folder inside the current folder. Note that the folder name and the short name for the user must match exactly. cd to the directory with home folders first.
sudo for i in `ls`;do chown -R $i $i;done

Retrieve desktop path

Hi,
Does anyone know how to programmatically retrieve the current windows
desktop path ? I'm using LV 5.01 on a Windows PC.
Thanks - oz

The path to your desktop is in the registry. You will find two paths one for all users and one for the current user. The keys are HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellFolders or HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ShellFolders. Maybe on Win95, 98, 98SE the path is a little bit different. It coulde be also different if you have alternative desktops as e.g. Norton Desktop.
In LV5.0.1 you do not have VIs for registry access so I will give you mine. The documentation is small so if you need more send a email to [email protected]

How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop so I don't lose everything on my iPod? My old computer didn't work, so I used my work laptop to purchase songs. I burned them to CDs

How do I sync my iPod Classic w/my new home desktop computer so I don't lose what's on my iPod? My old desk was trashed. Used work laptop to purchased iTunes. Burned to CDs and downloaded to new home computer. Now can't sync w/iPod b/c it will erase all music on iPod and don't have back up of everything on iPod.

It is a mix. Some came from I-Tunes and the rest from CD's. I have the I-Tunes songs in my I-Tunes account, but can't sync to add new somgs to my i-pod. I would also like to move all my music to my I-Phone.

Using my mini iPod on both a home desktop PC and a Laptop

I have iTunes on both my home desktop and laptop. When at home I use my desktop to update my iPod on a daily basis with latest podcasts/add music etc. When I am away from home/on holiday I take my laptop. When I want to update podcasts/add nore music I connect the iPod to the laptop and click 'no' when asked to sync the iPod with the laptop, so as not to lose all the stored podcasts music etc. So, how do I add more music and podcasts using my laptop when way from home?

Hi Mr Keith,
To do what you're wanting to do, you'll have to manually manage your iPod's contents on your laptop (and maybe your desktop, too).
This means that iTunes won't automatically sync with your iPod and immediately transfer any new podcasts to your iPod when you connect it, but it will allow to you store your songs on your iPod, even when it's being managed through two different computers.
To transer content to your iPod when it's being manually managed in iTunes, and not set to auto-sync, you drag-and-drop whatever songs you want on your iPod from your iTunes Music library, to your iPod's name in the left panel of iTunes.
For details, see thess Knowledge Base articles:

Time to search PATH varies by HOME directory path ?

I have a rather strange question, as I am running in a somewhat strange environment. I have a SunBlade running Solaris connected via Cisco VPN to my corporate network. After I start the VPN I run a number of mount commands to make my local environment look something like my environment in the office, including mounting my home directory onto my local workstation. I then change the value of the HOME variable to point to the nfs mount for my home directory and update the PATH so that my local (non-remote) bin directories are before the ones on my remote mounts (I use Solaris at work as well).
I've been running this way for a couple of years and it works well, but all of a sudden trying to start an application from my local system started to take a really long time. I narrowed it down to:
if I set HOME=/export/home/localuser it works fine
if I set HOME=/export/home/remoteuser (which is where my home directory is mounted) it does not
It is not the PATH itself as I have the problem even when i don't change it at all. I have a copy of dtpad in /export/home/localuser/bin and that path is the first value in the PATH variable. With HOME set the first way "time which dtpad" takes 0.269s and with it set the second way it takes 4.530s.
This does not make any sense to me. Can someone that understands how the PATH searching algorithm works shed some light on this ?
Thanks

One more thing. I delete the copy of dtpad in my home directory and let it find the real one using the PATH. With HOME set to the local directory it took 0.527s to find it. With HOME set to the remote directory it took 2.139s. Same PATH in both cases. So how does $HOME fit into the $PATH search ?
