IChat 4.0 - vcencoder process hangs

Since doing a clean Erase and Install of Leopard onto my iMac G5, the process "vcencoder" hangs a few minutes into my video chats. (This according to activity monitor). This inevitably disrupts the chat a few minutes later (although not right away). Only killing the process ends the disruption, but it turns the chat into audio only in terms of what the other side sees/hears, whereas my side continues to display video and audio.
Any ideas?

IChat in Leopard - vcencoder process constantly hangs

I recently did a clean Erase and Install of 10.5 and imported my applications back via Migration Assistant.
Since the upgrade, my chats (so far, all of my chats have been with 10.4 users) become choppy and unresponsive after several minutes. Activity monitor reveals that vcencoder is unresponsive. Occasionally, so is coreaudiod.
I do mention above that my chats have been with 10.4 users, but I don't think that's the issue. When I kill vcencoder in Activity Monitor, the chat can continue smoothly with me still receiving video and audio and the other side receiving only audio (which makes sense because I think vcencoder is the process which encodes my video signal).
Anyone else experiencing this on a similar setup?

Leopard Server's only just (finally) giving us multi-user calendaring... I think PBX/VOIP in OSX server might be a long way off
Commnigate Pro does VOIP & PBX out of the box (as well as being an excellent mailserver) http://www.stalker.com/content/realtime.htm
I've have not implemented their VOIP, only their mailserver (by far best mailserver I've ever admin'd). Here are the PBX FAQs form their site found this on their site:

The CGPro mailing list is a great resource... many mac sysadmins there who could help with pre-sales questions & initial config.

"vcencoder" process slowing video chats

During all video chats my Macbook begins to heat up, the fan kicks into gear and friends on the other line tell me my video quality is degraded. My processor seems to be getting overloaded, and I've discovered that the "vcencoder" process is eating up 40-70% of my power, while the "ichat" process itself wants another 50% or so.
Is this normal? Is there any way to not have my machine overloaded like this?
I've tried rebooting and even reinstalling iChat, but to no avail.

Did you use ChatFX or ShowMacster Add-ons in iChat 3 ?
Have you deleted them ?
10.4.10 broke ChatFX and it should have been deleted then.
I take it this never fails with an Error log number ?
Can you check Users/(your account)/Library/Logs/iChatConnectionsErrors and see if you have any since upgrading to Leopard.
If you Open one it will open in Console and drop to the Bottom of the Log.
It is likely to be very long.
The bottom is all the Binary Images info of what was open at the time
It will list at the top of that section what was involved in iChat's start up.
SO at the start of the Binary Images does it mention in the first 5 or 6 lines anything about the Add-Ons I mention ?

Import process hangs indefinately on JPG and AVI files

Hi,
I'm seeing a similar issue to some of the other posts.
My configuration is Windows 7 x64, 4GB RAM and a Core i7. All the photos I want imported have been moved to the C drive.
When I try to import a folder with a couple of sub-folders containing a total of about 3000 JPG and AVI files (from a CANON 450D and Fuji Finepix 200EX), the import process hangs inderfinately, and I need to kill the process.
Only around 500 photos get imported.
One strange thing is that I am only able to preview a couple of the files in the preview grid. However when selecting to view a single file instead of the grid view I am able to view the file in question.
I have tried to import one file at a time (for a couple of the ones that fail that is) but the import process still hangs, even though I am able to view the file itself before import.
Have also tried only JPG files, same result.
Any ideas?
thanks

What happens if you try to copy these files to your iMac first? Your problem may not be that applications quit when opening but rather you're having problems simply accessing the disk.
If your external disk was formatted as NTFS by your Windows machine then your Mac will not be able to write back to the disk. Your applications may be attempting to save temporary or permanent files back to the disk. Verify this by going to the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac". Click the "More Info..." button. Under the Hardware section on the left, look for your drive. It's probably under ATA. Select your drive and look at the "File System". If it is formatted as NTFS, you can copy the files to your iMac, and use the Disk Utility to reformat the drive to a Mac or MS-DOS format.
This could also be a symptom of disk corruption. You can begin troubleshooting by using the Disk Utility found in /Applications/Utilities to verify/repair your disk. If Disk Utility finds problems but is unable to fix them, you can purchase third party tools such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to attempt to repair your disk.
Hope this helps! bill

Database creation process hangs

I am manually creating a database on Windows 2k3 server using Oracle 11 r2. Using the Database Configuration Assistant to create a database, the process hangs for hours.
I figured out and triedthe following:
1. I have attempted using the GUI tool more than once to create the database and each time it hangs.
2. Using the scripts have been created using the with configuration tool, I manually attemped to create database. -- I have attempted more than once.
3. The database creation process hangs while running the EXECRM.SQL file that is called by the CATPCNFG.SQL which is called by CATPROC.SQL which is called by CreateDBCatalog.sql
3. The EXECRM.SQL file hangs on the following statement EXECUTE DMBS_RMIN.INSTALL;
I'm not sure why the PL/SQL packag is hanging at this point. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sheila

I was able to create the databases prior to installing Enterprise Manager Grid control. I deleted the databases to re-create so they would be registered with Enterprise manager. Once I install Enterprise manager the creation process hung. I have also installed Essbase and Oracle/Hyperion Enterprise Performance Management Suite on the server. I'm trying to do some research on these BI tools.
I'm tempted to uninstall Essbase and the Hyperion producst along with Enteprise Manager and start from scratch to test to see if I can create a database without these other products.

Process Hang

Hi,
I have a problem that I put on the back-burner a few months ago, but it has become more important again.
I have a daemon which maintains a multiplexing stream stack. Every once in a while when the daemon exits and tears down the stack (flushing the queues), I start seeing a number of other processes hanging. I can still interrupt out of them, but their tasks can't be completed.
For example, "sleep 1" would never return.
Forgive me for not being exact. I don't have my copy of the kernel source with me here, and I won't be able to get to it until next week.
I used the kernel debugger to find where in the kernel sleep's thread was hung, and I discovered that it was stuck on a mutex in a kernel function that allowed the process to go to sleep and be swapped out. The kernel should have awoken the mutex but never did. The mutex was contained in the process structure.
I'm wondering if this is a problem that would have been fixed in one of the patches on the Sun Support site, or if it is something stupid that I have done in my drivers. I thought it may have been a stray spl that I missed when converting them to perimiters (I used mutually exclusive inner perimiters), but that doesn't seem to be it.
Any help is appreciated. I'll try to supply more details if necessary.

If it runs for several hours before failing, it's handling a LOT of data. If freeing things after every iteration is going to goof the speed up too much don't do it. Right now, the GUESS is that if resources are never freed until the end, they become exhausted. Freeing every iteration may be the pendulum swinging from one extreme to the other, and hopefully a middle ground can be found.
If these files are routinely in the terabyte range, instead of freeing each segment, you could free each file. I'd be happy with a data structure that lasted a terabyte! Or if you're doing multiple directories, each directory. With the massive amount of data that you're processing, a subtle memory leak could be doing this.

RWB status 'delivering' and SQL process hangs

I am sending an IDOC to SQL Server thro XI using JDBC adapter. I am triggering a stored procedure to update SQL tables. The RWB status says 'delivering', sxmb_moni says 'successful' and all the steps are success in audit log. The status 'delivering' is not changing to sucessful.
When i look at SQL-server side, the process is in sleeping mode. I have verified the stored procedure and it was executed sucessfully. After the COMMIT TRAN, RETURN(0) statments, the process is going to 'sleeping' mode. The @@trancount is 2. If I double click the process, the sql statement is 'IF @@TRANCOUNT > 0 COMMIT TRAN'. This process hangs at this step and it is not accepting the next message. If I kill the process, the stored procedure is executed once and its going to sleep mode and not returning the status to XI to make the flow complete or to change the status to successful.
Thanks.

HI Shankar ,
Its seems that there might be some problem in your srored procedure.Did u tried to use some other stored procedure.I assume that you have uploaded the right version of driver for SQL server you are using.Remember JDBC adapter is vendor and version dependent.
You can also look at the JDBC : FAQ at service market place.
Thanx & Regards
Vinod

IPlanet 4.1 Web Server - ns-cron process hangs for log rotation

Does anybody know if there is a known issue with iPlanet 4.1 Web Server where the ns-cron log rotation process hangs up?
Basically it won't rotate any logs, and using either the "Stop" or "Restart" buttons in the console won't shut it down, so you have to kill it manually, then start it again.
It seems like it will run for a couple days fine, then it will hang up.
Thanks.

Nope, I've not seen this before. But 4.1 version is really old and no longer supported, you should consider upgrading to a supported version.

When exporting many videos with Lightroom 5, the process hangs randomly and needs to be restarted.

When exporting few videos, the process hangs randomly. The processor performance is 0 % and the lightroom says it is working (actually it is not). I have to quit lightroom, kill all processes like amecommand.exe, Adobe Media Core, Adobe Dynamic Link Manager and restart the process. It stops randomly.
I am exporting ALL-I videos from Canon 5D mark III, into H264, high quality.
PS: The same situation was with Lightroom 4.

Hello,
i have the same problem on LR5.5 on Win 7 (8G RAM)
Thank you for any help.

[Solved] Boot process hangs for installed Arch and installation usb

Hi. I've been using Arch Linux for around 6 months now and I'm in love with it. It is now my primary OS. However, I might have done something or performed some update, and I can no longer boot into Arch. The boot process hangs right before it should show the login screen (I'm using Gnome 3.6 with GDM). I see the following messages on the screen:
Loading Linux core repo kernel ...
Loading initial ramdisk ...
/dev/sda3: recovering journal
/dev/sda3: clean, 330610/1749664 files, 5585671/6996827 blocks
And then it hangs right there. I have to hard-reboot after this.
I then tried to boot using the Arch Linux Installation USB (archlinux-2012.12.01-dual.img), which also hangs at a particular point, before it should show me the prompt. I took a picture of the screen where it hangs: Screen Capture. This is an issue with just my laptop, because the USB boots just fine on another laptop I tried.
I also have Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.10 installed on my system, and I'm able to boot into both of them.
I have 2 hard drives: /dev/sda is a 120GB SSD, and /dev/sdb is a 500GB hard disk. My partitions are as follows:
sda1 - Windows 7 100MB System Reserved Partition (boot flag enabled)

I tried adding nomodeset and acpi=off to the boot parameters, but the boot process still hangs. Please let me know if I should provide any other information.

Ok.. So my Arch Linux randomly decided to work. I'm sure I didn't do anything between my last "not working" state and my current "working" state. Below are a few things I tried:
I thought of trying an earlier build of ArchLinux, and downloaded archlinux-2012.11.01-dual.iso and made a bootable USB out of it. It still hung.
I was getting error messages during Arch boot that the last access time for the disks was at a future date. I found out that Ubuntu was using localtime instead of UTC and screwing up my hardware clock. I fixed it, and thought maybe the time issues were causing the boot problem. But fixing time didn't solve my problem.
I chrooted into Arch from my Ubuntu install, ran 'sudo pacman -Syyu' and updated my Arch install.
I thought maybe GDM isn't starting up. I re-enabled the service using 'systemctl enable gdm.service'.
I removed OpenNTPd and installed NTPd. Enabled the daemon using 'systemctl enable ntpd'
None of the above solved the problem, and rebooting to Arch still hung the system. So I stopped fiddling with it yesterday. Today, as usual, I just tried logging into Arch.. And it just worked out of the blue. The solution to me is as mysterious as the problem.
I told this to my friend who introduced me to Arch, and this is what he said:
Damn it computers, you were supposed to be deterministic!

High CPU/Process hang on VDI environment

I have a environment that is currently using Adobe Reader XI running on roughly 125 virtual desktops.
In some of those instances, when adobe reader was launched and closed after, the process hangs up in the background and takes on high CPU. The only means to recover is to open task manager and kill the offending .exe
Thoughts?

Can you try to disable Protected Mode in Adobe Reader [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].

Process hanging

Hi,
I have a process running on Solaris 9. After the proces starts it hangs infinietly consuming 100 % of 1 CPU . There are 8 CPU's. I attached this process to truss utility. Below is the snapshot: the thread goes into sleep mode and the process hangs.

Anjan, I do not use the specific tool set your post is about but the answers to the following questions might help someone zero in on the problem:
During the time that the problem is occurring do any error messages appear in the alert.log?
Did you provide Oracle support a hang analyze dump taken during the problem period? If so, what did support identify that the hang was on?
What do the machine CPU and memory utilization look like during the problem period?

Win7 x64 itunes*32.exe process hanged up and window not open

sry,my english not good.
windows 7 x64 and itunes 10.5, after install, itunes*32.exe(Not AppleMobileDeviceService.exe) process hanged up , cpu(1/4 cores) up to 100% .

Sounds stupid, but this will actually work.
1. Quit iTunes.
2. Start an elevated command prompt (Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click "Command Prompt" -> "Run as Administrator")
3. Once in the command prompt, type "netsh winsock reset" and hit ENTER.
4. Restart iTunes.
Problem solved.
At least this fixed it for me on my own Windows 7 x64 installation. I had AppleMobileDevice.exe, APSDaemon.exe, and iTunes.exe all at 25% CPU simply from opening up iTunes.
25% CPU for me is 100% CPU per core since I have 4 cores.
