How to remove a patch via smpatch in fail safe mode

After installing patch
139556-08 SunOS 5.10_x86: Kernel Patch
my system can not restart. Even after uopdating my boot archive the "normal" boot process fails every time and the system keeps restarting.
I would like to remove the patch in fail safe mode, but I do not know how to do it, when my system is mounted under /a.
Any advice, or alternative of how to get my system back online, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your help

I had the exact same problem with the same patch. I brought up the box in failsafe mode, mounted the zfs filesystem where my patches were located, cd'd to the patch directory, then re-applied the patch using:
patchadd -R /a 139556-08I didn't bother to do a patchrm first. After I re-ran the patch, I also did a force update of the boot archive,
bootadm update-archive -R /aFollowed by
shutdown -i 6 -y -g 0And everything was good. Seems there are a number of folks having trouble with this kernel patch.

How do I force Lenovo Y560p to start in Safe Mode?

My Avira Anti-Virus program has alerted me to hidden viruses. These viruses can only be removed by booting up with an Avira Rescue Disk, or by starting the computer in Safe Mode and then running my anti-virus program in Safe Mode. My Lenovo Y560p will not bootup with the Avira Rescue Disk. Neither will it start in Safe Mode when I hold down F8 during startup. In both cases, Windows 7 (64bit) is starts normally, overriding the Avira Rescue Disk in the optical DVD drive or F8 being held down. (I've also tried F6.) How can I force the machine to start in Safe Mode, so that I can get rid of the hidden viruses?

Hi ecbritz,
Welcome to Lenovo Community.
There is no magic bullet. There is no one-size-fits-all. If you were to use an all-in-one (suite) such as Norton Internet Security, you would be getting the definitions from just one vendor. Different security vendors find different things. One also has to wonder if a company known for anti-virus protection is equally as good as one that specializes in firewall protection.This is not to say that more than one anti-virus should be installed. Use only one AV. A layered approach with "the best of all worlds" usually is advisable.
To address your question, I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials (free) or Eset's NOD32 Antivirus (paid). Over the years I have used Norton, Trend Micro, AVG, Avast!, MSE and NOD32. I have remained with MSE and NOD32 on my computers. None of my computers have ever had an infection.
For the next layer, I add Malwarebytes (free on-demand is good; paid with realtime protection is better).
As far as online browser security, along with your anti-virus and anti-spyware software, Web Of Trust , uses colored alerts to warn you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
Red for Warning = STOP
Yellow for Use Caution
Green for Safe
Grey for Unknown
There is a Web Of Trust version for Firefox as well.

How do I enable an add-on in Firefox safe mode?

So recently I have had a problem with Firefox crashing all the time and found out it was an add-on that was causing the problem.
I have tried opening Firefox in safe-mode to disable add-ons but they are already disabled, so I want to know how to enable an add-on and then to permanently disable it so Firefox will open normally again. . .
I have already tried to permanently disable all add-ons by using the Firefox options box but nothing happens after I click on the 'make changes and restart firefox' button. After I click it nothing happens and it remains frozen. ([https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe mode Window])
So to make things short, how do I enable an add-on in Firefox safe mode?

In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and also disables hardware acceleration.
*Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
You should still see a Disable button or Enable button (if you disabled them all) in the extension Manager (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) if you start Firefox in Save mode.

HOW To Remove Dock Spacers Via Termianl Command

One of the Mac websites offered a way to add spacers to your dock through a command line statement like this:
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}'
Now this worked beautifully on my Mac Pro and I was able to add two spacers to the application side of the dock. On the Mac Pro I can easily drag these spacers to a new position or drag them upward and off (deleting them).
I have a new MacBook and it should work the same, right? The spacers were created but I can't move them nor drag them off the dock.
In another post someone suggested deleting or removing your Dock's preferences (which will reset it to the defaults). This file is located at /Users/"Your username"/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Dock.plist.
But there is NO com.appleDock.plist although there is a comp.apple.dockfixup.plist although I am apprehensive to delete it.
Does anyone know how to remove a spacer using the Terminal's command line? I can't think of any other way to remove these spacers on the MacBook.

Ok. I found an answer. The removal of the comp.apple.Dock.plist did return my dock to its original setup. I was not looking in the "Users" directory. I moved it off to my desktop and restarted the MacBook. It came up with the default dock. I'll have to bring back my apps but other then that, it worked.
Sorry for wasting your time but maybe this answer will help someone in the future.

How to remove 8172 Patch

Hi,
Can some one pls suggest me a solution for the following issue.
1.I have installed 8.1.7.0
2.Updated Patch 8.1.7.2.
Now i wanted to remove the installed patch for some reason.
I tried to use oui to do this,but couldn't succeed.
Is there any way to remove the patch,without disturbing the installed 817 product.
Thanks in advance.

Madan
I do not think there is a mechanism provide to remove an installed patch set leaving the base. Do you have a software backed up before you did the setup. If so you could restore it back.
thanks

How to run Lenovo t400 with Windows XP in safe mode

Hi guys,
I caught a Spyware Portection Virus this morning while i was doing research on fish disease. The virus isn't letting me run any programs except Internet Explorer. I have found the program to delete it but I need a way to run it so the best way is to run Windows XP on safe mode. So how do you run windows xp in safe mode. I can't access the Microsoft Configuration program (msconfig). Any ideas of how to work through bios to boot up in sade mode?

How to remove corrupt patches

Is there any procedure to remove a corrupt patch from multiple machines using SCCM 2012 ? Like I have deployed monthly patches to many machines and would like to remove
one of the installed patches from all.
What is the procedure for the same please ?

There are no procedure for this, it will depend on the SU. You will need to re-search what command line you will need to remove it. Then you can deploy it as either a package or application but again you will need to define the collection used for
targeting.

How to remove irremovable patch packages

After my 1.3.1 upgrade I'm left with ~10 irremovable patches, which don't seem to cause any harm but the fact they are
showing up in the package list. They fail removing because of their failing removal scripts.
I hear you say: you better had removed them before the upgrade ;-)
Is there a way to get rid of those patch packages but the painful WebOS Doctor one?

How do I move Firfox 3.6 out of safe mode??

Just downloaded firefox 3.6 and it appears fine but is in safe mode. Is there a way to move it out of safe mode

chicago773,
Some information was backed up the last time it synced, or prior to you starting an update. That information can be reloaded.
In recovery mode the information is essentially already lost. Some data recovery services might be able to recover data, but their cost is pretty high.
Hope this helps,

How to prevent auto reboot, springboard crash & going to safe mode?

iPhone 3GS used on 3.1.2 and now upgraded to 4.0.1
Problems:
* It crashes automatically & reboots
* When left idle screen goes blank, no response, caller hear the bell ringing but phone indicates nothing. Finally requires a force reboot. I don't see any missed calls too (only with 4.0.1 and did not observe with 3.1.2)
* Start any application and app crashes, sometime springboard crashes and goes to safe mode, even just sliding for unlock causes the crash
* I observe this problem even immediately after restore, nothing additional installed

Is this looking like to be a hardware problem?
Can I take it to any apple store & get fixed?

Hi
Unfortunately this Toshiba unit it unknown to me and I dont have found any officials documents about the HDD replacing.
But as far as I know there should be only 2 possibilities how to remove the HDD.
1.) The HDD slot is placed at the bottom of the unit and you need to remove only the HDD cover.
Or
2.) The HDD is placed in the notebook. In this case you have to remover the keyboard and some covers to replace the HDD
Well, I can give you only this info. I think if you want to know the detailed instruction you should contact the Toshiba service partner because he has a more detailed informations about such cases.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
