HOWTO: Fix the system settings crash in KDEmod

This crash is pretty frequent on fresh installations of the KDEmod, and while searching for info on lots of places I found the solution on the chakra forums.
This howto is very short and easy to follow, and I post it on newbie corner forum because I dont know where to post it (the wiki????)
If your KDEmod installation crashes when you open:
1)system settings--> package management
2)shaman--> tools --> settings --> aqpm databases configuration
All you have to do is simple, this problem happens because when you generated the best mirrors for your location using rankmirrors (you did? right?) Rankmirrors appends a comment saying:
# Server list generated by rankmirrors on 2009-09-04
Apparently, even if the word "Server" is commented out, this causes the applications to crash (yes, very weird), so the only thing you have to do is edit the mirrorlist and erase that word, then save and close.
So go ahead, open a terminal and do:
sudo kate /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
NOTE: if you want to do this via a terminal editor, just replace the kate part with "nano" or your favorite text editor.
and change the line
# Server list generated by rankmirrors on 2009-09-04
to
# List generated by rankmirrors on 2009-09-04
Save, close and enjoy

HT1338 How to fix the safari that crashes under 10.8 ?

Hi, anyone knows how to fix the safari that crashes after upgrading to 10.8 ?
re-installing the system didn't solve it.
thanks

Backup your data and try clean inslall.
Here's reference.

Are bug fixes the same as crash fixes?

Are bug fixes the same as crash fixes? Or are they totally different?

Depends on the cause of a crash. If it is caused by a known bug or design flaw, then yes I supose you could say that. But strictly speaking, no. A "crash" is a symptom, not a bug.
If you post whatever issues you are seeing, someone may be able to assist.

"Enter rate EUR / GBP rate type EURX for 06/07/2004 in the system settings"

When I try to do "Perform setup - Purchasing" by running T-Code: OLI3BW, after I fill in the name of the run and Termination time, then click execute button, get an error on the status bar and the error msg says below in between two dashed lines:
Enter rate EUR / GBP rate type EURX for 06/07/2004 in the system settings
Message no. SG105
Diagnosis
For the conversion of an amount into another currency, an entry is missing in the currency conversion table.
Procedure
Add the missing entry in the currency conversion table.
Execute function
You can then continue to process the commercial transaction.
What should I do to get rid of this error. I don't remember the t-code to input translation currency rate.
Thanks

hi Kevin,
to maintain currency,
transaction spro >> general setting >> currencies >> enter exchange rates.
trying search oss note with SG105 and bw* area, got this note, please check (not sure since it's an old one, old pi).
with SG105 and mm* area there are several notes, mostly mention 'program error'.
374438
Symptom
During the rebuild of statistical data for the BW extractors in the purchasing area, an error message due to a currency translation can occur.
Additional key words
2LIS_02_ITM, rebuild, PI 2000.1, PI 2000.2, 2LIS_02_SCL, 2LIS_02_HDR, request, quotation, SG 105, SG105
Cause and prerequisites
Offers do not contain prices in the request, consequently the system cannot make a currency translation. This case was not considered.
Solution
Implement the attached program correction.

AFAIK cameras offer their own built-in format utility for inserted SD cards. You should use that. Otherwise, refer to the manual that came with your camera to determine precisely how your SD cards need to be formatted to work properly. Personally, I'd suggest Partition Scheme: MBR, and Filesystem: FAT32.
Try to limit the number of formats you perform on the SD cards, though, as you're reducing their lifespan. I believe formatting causes re-writes to a portion of the SD card that has fewer read/write cycles than the rest of the card as a whole.

Updating Facebook Contacts in System Settings crashes.

Twitter and LinkedIn update fine, but Facebook just hangs when I click "Update Profile Photos..." from "Internet Accounts" in System Settings.
The only clue is this output from Console but I have no idea what it means. (This is just the first few lines, not the entire output.)

Likewise, with the same call stack. Running OS X 10.9.4 here. I can't begin to guess what the problem is without seeing the source code, but it looks like FacebookContactUpdater (a system process that talks to Facebook and updates the address book) is passing nil to a method on ABAddressBook that's documented as throwing an exception (and thus crashing the app) when nil is passed. Gross. The question is, is there a workaround, or are we stuck waiting for a fix from Apple?

Account in the System Preference Crash

Every time I try to go into Account in the system preferences, it crashes. Any thoughts? All the other panes load fine.
I've just delete com.apple.finder.plist in my preference and repaired permission.
I'm running 10.6.1

The preference file that seemed to get updated when I went into that the Accounts pane of System Preferences is this one
<user home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
so I would move that file to your Desktop (with System Preferences NOT open), then try to go into the Accounts pane again.
Note: Using the new ability to +look inside+ a preference file, there is a setting in that one called com.apple.preferences.accounts.outline.usersparent
There are other settings, so if you lose something you want to get back, put the preference file back.

Any reports of Firefox 19.0.0 causing XP to eratically causing a reboot or the system, or crashing and lockups

XP erratically, and at random, shuts down, and reboots for no apparent reason. Will run for varying lengths of time between failures. Any reports of Firefox 19.0.0 causing XP to eratically cause a reboot or the system crashing and lockups. Seems to have begun after installing Fire Fox 19.0.0

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

One Way to Fix the "System Extension Cannot Be Used, AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext" Error...

I found (one) way to fix this error...well, at least it worked for me (see below):
There seem to be various threads addressing this issue and no "one" way is the right way for everyone. I'm running my Macbook on OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard). Once I installed the iTunes update, two things happened: my iPhone became corrupted when I sync'd via USB and then my iTunes stopped recognizing the iPhone as a "sync-able" device -- meaning it would show up on iTunes but when you went to click sync, the sync button was unavailable.
I tried locating the .kext file, deleting it, repairing it, replacing with an older version, entered different commands in terminal but I kept getting the same error. Ultimately, I fixed the problem fairly simply, but it may not be something everyone is willing to do. If you have an external hard-drive and had your computer hooked up to Time Machine, this is what you should do:
Hopefully you'd been backing your computer up automatically fairly recently, and you have some this stored on an external hard drive via Time Machine from before iTunes 11.4 was downloaded onto your computer.
If you haven't done so already, and your iTunes library isn't corrupt, Backup your entire iTunes library to an external hard-drive (if you don't care about your library, ignore this step...this procedure might not work, however, if your first backup of your iTunes library is via version 11.4. If you go through all of these steps and you encounter the same problem, restore your itunes to an older version via Time Machine, then redo steps)
To do this, create a new Folder on your hard drive and call it "iTunes"
Go into your iTunes preferences > Advanced > under "iTunes Media folder location" we want it to say /Volumes/(Your Hard Drive Name)/iTunesNext to the "iTunes Media folder location" dialogue box, it should read CHANGE or RESET. Click CHANGE, navigate to your external hard drive and locate the newly created iTunes folder...your computer should automatically start to transfer your library to the new destination.
Backup and "new files" on your computer that you create since updating your iTunes to version 11.4 (i.e. new iCal entries, documents)
Backup your important files (I have mine in dropbox but chose to be safe and backed them up on an external hard drive as well)
Once you have everything saved, you're going to want to go through the process of completely restoring your entire computer (essentially wiping it clean).
To do this on Snow Leopard, you need to have the Mac OS X Snow Leopard Installing disc.
Insert disc > when the Install screen pops up, select Utilities... > it will then prompt you to Restart your computer
After your computer restarts, it will prompt you to reinstall Snow Leopard or select a different option from Utilities which can now be found at the top of your screen on the toolbar. From there, select the option that is along the lines of Restore from Backup Using Time Machine and then select which backup you want to restore your computer to ... since iTunes 11.4 went live on Sept. 10th, I would restore to any date before that.
When your computer restores itself to your chosen backup, your computer should be exactly as it was on that date, iTunes included. It's as if nothing ever happened.
To do this on any later OS X, I believe you have to restart your computer and then hold COMMAND+R before the grey screen appears. From here, I believe it will prompt you similarly to the Snow Leopard procedures 1-3 as listed just above this bullet point.
When your computer prompts you to update iTunes to version 11.4 from whatever version you reverted back to, DO NOT UPDATE. Keep your old iTunes version and wait for this thing to be addressed by Apple.
This procedure worked for me and although it's a bit tedious, it fixed both my iTunes and iPhone errors. Note: I did have to erase and restore my iPhone through an old backup via iTunes once iTunes was working again. Try it out. See if it works for you. MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP YOUR FILES BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY FULL SYSTEM RESTORE.

There's more to it than this IMHO. Here is my explanation:
If I go back in my Time Machine backups and restore the previous version before I installed iTunes 11.4, the version of that same kext was also listed as being "7.0" despite being older and twice the size (120400 bytes vs. 63024 bytes in the 11.4-installed version).
(The older version is "BuildVersion 305" and "SourceVersion 122000000000000"; the new 11.4 version is "BuildVersion 417" and "SourceVersion 113000000000000".)
The real problem is this:
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext/Contents/_CodeSignature used to contain
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root wheel 172 Jan 31 2014 CodeDirectory
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root wheel    92 Jan 31 2014 CodeRequirements
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root wheel 1745 Jan 31 2014 CodeResources
-rw-r--r--+ 1 root wheel 4064 Jan 31 2014 CodeSignature
/System/Library/Extensions/AppleUSBEthernetHost.kext/Contents used to contain symbolic links down into there:
lrwxr-xr-x+ 1 root wheel    28 Jun 12 2012 CodeDirectory@ -> _CodeSignature/CodeDirectory
lrwxr-xr-x+ 1 root wheel    31 Jun 12 2012 CodeRequirements@ -> _CodeSignature/CodeRequirements
lrwxr-xr-x+ 1 root wheel    28 Jun 12 2012 CodeSignature@ -> _CodeSignature/CodeSignature
When iTunes 11.4 was installed via Software Update/App Store, it removed CodeDirectory/CodeRequirements/CodeSignature but it did not remove the corresponding symbolic links. Presumably that is what triggered the "cannot be used" pop-up message.
Trashing the kext and installing it from the downloaded 11.4 .dmg does not create the symbolic links, thus avoiding the problem.
Obviously rolling back to the previous (Jan 2014) kext will fix the problem as well as the symbolic links point to files that exist.
(I'm really curious to know what happened between BuildVersion 305 and BuildVersion 417 that caused it to shrink nearly by half. It looks to me like the Code Signing stuff got ripped out - Lord knows why.)

What are the system settings, etc., needed for a project in DV widescreen?

Hello - to do a project in DV widescreen -- what are the proper system settings and what steps must I take to import and log footage? I've tried the anamorphic -- but viewer doesn't connect to camera -- sorry this is so rudimentary but if anyone can help me get it going, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

If your footage is DV NTSC, it is anamorphic if it's widescreen. You should be able to simply use the "Easy Setup" for DV NTSC Anamorphic and edit your heart out.
If you can't see the camera, might trash preferences: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
And if that doesn't work, QT 7 should be reinstalled: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852

Hi Gurus,
We have created a new PO doc type as Stage Payment and FI team has created the new Invoice Doc type as Stage Payment Invoice. After this we have created the PO with new doc type SP and posted the GR.
When we are trying to post the Invoice with KU document type we are receiving the error message as u201CEnter rate / USD rate type M for 21.04.2011 in the system settingsu201D.
We have verified the entry on OB08, the entry is maintained for the currency type NOK to USD and also the entry is available in OBBS with 1:1 ratio.
Also there is no validation available in OB28 .
Please suggest me how to fix this issue.
Thanks
Sada

Hi Jürgen
Thanks for the update.
When we are debugging MIRO ,we are getting the value of I_WAERS = blank and I_HSWAE = NOK, because of that reason we are getting the error SG 105 with Enter rate as blank.
Please suggest me how to fix this issue.
Thanks

HT2341 why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

why does my sound icon grey out and doesn't allow me to make changes on the system settings

When you go to System Preferences > Sound what does it say for Output? Have you had headphones plugged in? Sometimes the headphone jack gets stuck thinking it has something plugged in when there isn't anaything there. SMC also has something to do with Sound:
SMC RESET
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
Wait 15 seconds.
Attach the computers power cable.
Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
The 5 second timing is important to a successful reset.
