How to run pm-util hook not as root?

My mouse settings do not restore when waking up from sleep, so I need to issue "kcminit mouse." But if I run it with
sudo -u user kcminit mouse
I get
No protocol specified
kcminit: cannot connect to X server :0.0
Anyone have any other ideas to solve this?

How to run disk utility mac book air

how to run disk utility mac book air it is very slow on boot up

Here's a general article about slow startup: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10929
It suggests there may be a third party hardware issue.
Otherwise, you can boot from your recovery disk as shown here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10603
Your recovery disk was automatically created when Lion was installed. You'll have it as a separate partition and be able to boot from it as if it were a separate disk.

How to run wrap utility

Hi All,
I tried to use wrap utility from my command promt from c:/oracle9i/bin to encrypt the package code. But found that I am not having any wrap coomand in bin dir, so when I run wrap command from c:/oracle9i/bin, it gave me below error:
C:\oracle9i\bin>wrap
'wrap' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
Can anybody help me in running wrap command. I am not able to understand if this is version issue, or complete pacakage has not been installed on my machine.
Or there is some other way to run wrap utility, and I am running it in wrong manner.
Thanks and Regards,
Nidhi

The wrap utility is a command line utility that obfuscates the contents of a PL/SQL source file. The syntax for the wrap utility is shown below.
wrap iname=input_file [oname=output_file]
The iname parameter specifies the source file, while the oname parameter specifies the destination file. If the destination file is not specified it defaults to the source file name with a ".pld" extension.
Running the Wrap Utility
Wrapping a package is amazingly simple, although there is one pitfall to avoid. Among the 500 plus files in the ORACLE_HOME/bin directory you will see wrap or WRAP depending on your operating system (a lot of the more common files and directories on Windows are upper-cased for ease of readability and identification).
Using wrap is as simple as this:
c:\ora9i\bin wrap iname=input_file_name
You can specify an output file as a second argument by using this format:
c:\ora9i\bin wrap iname=input_file_name oname=output_file_name
Once wrapped, a package cannot be unwrapped. With that in mind, and just like what you would do with a real package, do not wrap the package until it is time to ship it. This implies keeping a source code repository of the original code. If a customer or user reports a bug against a wrapped package, there is no unwrapping it at the customer's site. You are going to have to ship another wrapped package with the fix in it. You will be making the bug fix or enhancement with the repository file and wrapping the new file.
An Example of Using Wrap
In a previous article, I used the DBMS_RANDOM package. A slightly modified bit of code from that produces the following:
SQL> CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE wrap_it (seed_in NUMBER)
2 IS
3    v_rand INTEGER;
4 BEGIN
5    DBMS_RANDOM.INITIALIZE (seed_in);
6    FOR i IN 1..5 LOOP
7     v_rand := mod(abs(DBMS_RANDOM.RANDOM),45);
8     dbms_output.put_line(i||': '||v_rand);
9    END LOOP;
10 END;
11 /
Procedure created.
SQL> exec wrap_it(123456);
1: 37
2: 36
3: 18
4: 8
5: 32
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.HTH.

How to run FVC utility for Weblogic server?

Hi all,
I want to use FVC(Form Version Controller) utility to update the database for some users.
I have provided the required parameters in the "fvc.properties".
When i run the utility from command prompt it is just printing the parameters given in the fvc properties file and the execution stops.
When i check the database nothing is updated.
I'm using BEA-Weblogic Version 8.1 as application server.
But in another environment where I'm using OC4J as application server I'm able to run the FVC utility and it is also updating the database.
Is there any other steps that we have to follow ,if we want to use this utility for Weblogic?
Thanks.

Hi,
The following is script found in fvcutil.cmd
@echo off
setlocal
if "%1" == "" goto usage
if "%2" == "" goto usage
call classpath
set CLASSPATH=%CLASSPATH%;.\lib\xlFvcUtil.jar;.\ext\jbossall-client.jar;.\ext\weblogic.jar;.\ext\oscache.jar;.\ext\javagroups-all.jar;.\ext\commons-logging.jar
D:\oracle_dev_design/xlclient/java\bin\java -DXL.FvcProps=fvc.properties -DXL.HomeDir=. -Djava.security.auth.login.config=.\config\authwl.conf com.thortech.xl.util.fvcutil.FVCUtil %1 %2
goto end
:usage
echo.
echo "USAGE : fvcutil.cmd <USERNAME> <PASSWORD>"
echo.
:end
endlocal
authwl is set properly. But when we run this command we get only parameters given in the fvc property file.
But when we run the same in another environment using (OC4J Application server) we are able to update the database using fvc.
Please guide us out on this regard to execute the same in weblogic server enabled environment.
Thanks

I have an airport express that worked well until I moved and have a different routher and internet provider. Now I cant get my Dell to see the airport and running the utility will not locate the airport at all. Help!!

What I really want to use the airport express for is streaming music from ITUNES or my IPHONE... I just need to find it on my network and as of now its not able to be found

If you have not yet "hard reset" the Express by holding in the reset button for 9-10 seconds and then allowing it another minute to restart....you will not ever "find" the Express on your new network. Reason....the Express is remembering the settings for your old network and trying to connect to a network that no longer exists.
Make sure that your computer is connected to the default Apple Network xxxxxx wireless signal before you open AirPort Utility.
Then, configure it again to "join" your new wireless network.

How to run LCM Utility????

Hi,
I want to LCM utility to migrate WebAnalysis 9.3.1 reports from Test to Prod env. i searched for doc in oracle site but they are bit confusion(as im new to this Hyperion) can any one help me in porviding an easy to understand doc.......
Vijay....

Hi,
Personally I never had much success with LCM in 9.3.1, I am not saying you can't use it but it can take more time than its worth, it was not until V11 that it became a utility worth looking at.
If it is not many reports it might be easy just to export them from studio and then import them into your target environment.
I take it is this doc you are reading http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/hss_alcm_util.pdf ?

You can't. It requires root to set network card attributes, which can only be set with administrative priviledges. But it should be no problem to start it with sudo.

If you're truly running 10.6.8, there is no Recovery partition - that didn't come along until 10.7x.
You'll need to use the set of gray discs that originally shipped with your model. If you don't have them, you can always get your serial number from the bottom of the casing and call Apple to get a set of replacement discs. These will run you about $20 + shipping & taxes. Once you have the discs, boot from Disk One and use Disk Utility to erase your HD and then reinstall whichever version of OS X that shipped with your model. No way around of getting the discs.

Disk Utility not running & disk utility icon changed?

Hello.
I have an 8 month old MB, 2.4 Ghz, 4GB Ram, 160 GB HD, running 10.5.5. I normally do the updated from Apple when the updates come out.
Anyway, I was trying to reformat/erase an external hd; I didn't see the Disk Utility icon on my Dock. I had used Disk Utility before (last time was maybe a month or two ago). Turns out the program is on the dock, but it has a icon (a piece of paper with a pencil, brush and ruler in the shape of an A). I click on it, it jumps once and does nothing. I figure it needs to be reinstalled, but the DVD that came with the computer says I can't install OS X on this computer.
I booted from DVD, ran disk util from there and fixed permissions. still same issue. Also noticed that the Airport Utility now has the same icon (a piece of paper with a pencil, brush and ruler in the shape of an A), but the name is in an Asian language.
Any thoughts on how to get disk utility working and what is going on?
Thanks

The icon on the dock is not the utility; it is an alias, a link to the actual utility.
Look in your Applications->Utility directory to see if the real Disk Utility is still there or not.
Ditto with Airport Utility. Is the real one still there?
Let us know.
You may have a corrupted preference file or a failing HD.

How do i run disk utility?

how do i run disk utility?

Open Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder. Can't tell you more because you have not provided information on what you wish to do with it.

I have a late 2012 iMac running osx 10.8.5. I keep losing access to my internal hard drive. I can reboot and regain access and it will last for a few minutes or hours. Disk utility does not seems to help.

I have a late 2012 iMac with an I5 precessor running OSX 10.8.5 and a 1tb internal hard drive. I keep losing access to the internal hard drive/startup disk.
I can reboot and everything operates as normal for a few minutes or hours but then I lose all access again to anything on the hard drive. The computer is still up and running but no files can be accessed and certain websites cannot be acessed even though internet access appears to be normal. Disk utility can only find permission errors related to iTunes which can be repaired only to come back at the next scan (I would not think permission errors would have anything to do with the hard drive crashing). It does not seem to matter what program I am using at the time access is lost and it can lose access sometimes right after reboot when no program is running.

You will need to boot into the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during restart and select it) to run Disk Utility/Disk Repair.

How to run the form that is only installed on a PC and not using a server?

Hi
I am new to Oracle and have taken the forms class. But I do not understand how to run the form from my PC using XP windows. (Do not have access to a server).
I have started the OC4J, made sure the listener was started, compiled the form and then when I run it, it automatically goes to the HTTP:
ERROR: res://ieframe.dll/acr_depnx_error.htm#,http://kevin:8889/forms/frmservle
I connected to the database correctly. I can process a report and it does nor try to access the internet. My only issue is running the form. I verified it compiled.
Sorry for a basic question. Could someone please help, I tried reviewing other questions, but not sure if they are connecting to a server or not.
I see webutil but is it required if I don't have a server? Thank you in advance.

Regardless of the version, it appears that you may not have configured the Builder. Do the following:
1. Open the Builder
2. From the menu, select Edit > Preferences > Runtime
3. In the box labeled "Application Server URL:", enter a local URL needed to run a form OR click the button labeled "Reset to Default". If you decide to manually enter a value, it would looks something like this:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet
4. In the field labeled "Web Browser Location:", enter the path and executable to your preferred browser. So for example if IE is your browser of choice the entry would most likely look like this:
C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE
5. Click on OK and retest.
By the way, you can manually enter a URL in the browser. Clicking the RunForm button from the Builder is strictly optional. To run the "test" form directly from the browser enter the following into the browser's address field:
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=test
More information about Forms can be found on OTN:
