Install stops. Log reads "Idle 40min with 1 open connection"

OK, I've tried this nearly a dozen different times and ways. Install begins normally and shortly after "calculating time remaining" changes to an actual time, the installation stops. The Installer is still running, but no progress occurs. The log file shows "localhost installdb [414]: idle 10min with 1 open connection"
The [414] number changes during different attempts, and every 10 minutes a new entry occurs. "idle 20min, idle 30min, idle 40min", etc. It goes on like this for hours until I quit/restart the Installer.
Now for the basics: Titanium PB running updated version of Tiger. 1Gig of RAM ... original Apple, installed at the factory. No peripherals attached. Have tried upgrade, archive and install, and erase and install.
I have also tried to install just the required files (no languages, printer drivers, or x11). I have run disk first aid, and there are no problems on my drive.
The DVD has been checked at the start of several (but not all) of the install attempts and all have passed.
The only thing that might be different/unusual about my computer is that I replaced my optical drive (original combo drive) with a new dual-layer dvd combo drive. But it was guaranteed to be Apple-certified. It's model MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ-85JS.
Tomorrow I'll try to install using it in target-disk mode, but in the meantime, I thought I'd see if anybody else has any other ideas.
Thanks.

I suspect the drive, but you might see if the DVD is dirty or has a thin oily film on it. Some have had this problem, and cleaning it made it work.

Adobe Reader 10 problem with opening pdf files

Ever since I downloaded and installed Adobe Reader 10, I have been unable to open .pdf files from the Internet. When
I try to download them, I only the get the option of saving the file, not opening it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

We had similar problems with both the upgrade to 9.4.2 and 10.0.1. We would either get the download/save screen or a black screen would appear and eventually error out and freeze up the machine when we tried to hit pages that loaded pdfs stored in Oracle. We found the pdfs would load when using Chrome or Firefox.
We're running winXP SP3 and mainly have users using IE 7 and IE 8. We were eventually able to solve the problem by doing the following:
Implementing the code fix outlined in this thread (Response.charset = null;) in the page that pulled pdfs from Oracle: http://forums.adobe.com/message/3476821
Uninstalling and reinstalling the base version of Reader (9.4.0 or X.0) from users' machines that had gone through the update from 9.x to X.x
Rebooting the machine after each uninstall or install
Updating the Reader to either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1
Now we have users who can successfully load the pdfs from Oracle who are running either 9.4.2 or 10.0.1.
Hope this helps!

Read/Write problems with multiple connections using MySQL & Tomcat

hello all,
I am developing a web-based java application that runs on a 4.1 tomcat server and uses MySQL 3.23.52 as db server.
this program uses hundreds of tables with hundreds of rows each.
when two or more users are connected, we are experiencing several problems:
1. when a query is started, they get cross-results that come from both connections.
2. when inserting/updating (most queries are long and take a few seconds), sometimes data are crossed too, sometimes they are saved incorrectly but get no error message, sometimes they are not saved and get 'null pointer' sqlexception (but tables and queries are correct).
3. using SHOW PROCESSLIST and SHOW STATUS, we saw that MySQL server hosted no more than 3 max_used_connections, even when my.cnf parameters where set with more. when 3 or more users try to access the database, they get a bad handshake error until other connections are freed.
any suggestions?
thanks

I am not using a connection pool. I read that when two different connections try to access the same data simultaneously, mysql is not secure. maybe a connection pool could solve that? or maybe is it a mysql limit?

Since downloading and installing Lion, have been having trouble with internet connection. Are there settings that I need to adjust?

Just installed Lion 10.7 ... having problems opening Safari and connectivity. Have to reset modem, restart computer, etc. It will be stable for awhile, then next time I log on, have to go through same things. Is there a setting that I need to adjust?

Also, I have already done the 10.7.1 update...come to think of it, the problem seems to have started after the update. Any thoughts?

Stop log window from appearing instead of connection entry

Good afternoon all.
I have a install that has a preconfigured file in it. When the install has completed, the VPN dialer initiates with the log file as the default window instead of the connection entry window that most folk want. I recall a corrective action to this in the .pcf file, but I cannot remember exactly what it was. Can anyone send a link for this correction or is there a quick fix?
Thanks

hello, this is usually caused by adware on your pc.
please run a scan of your system with [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & also manually check that you don't have any suspicious entries like 3rd-party-toolbars presently installed under ''firefox > addons > extensions'' (adware like babylon also might install some unwanted stuff that comes under the names "Browser Manager", "Browser Protector", "Bprotector", "Object Installer", etc.) or in the windows control panel > programs section.
afterwards install the search reset addon - it will revert the most common customziations those adware programs do in firefox back to the default: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/

How do I install the new "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver?

Hey guys, I'm going to reformat later today and I need instructions on how to install these latest drivers.
Once I reformat, I will install Windows 2000 SP4.
When I reboot, I will insert the CD that came with my Audigy 2 and I will select "Custom Install" and I will select to install everything EXCEPT the driver.
Then when I have installed all the Creative software from the CD that came with my Audigy 2, I will reboot.
Now I will install the "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver and then reboot.
Is that the correct procedure? If not PLEASE tell me!

My game music always (now I've asked for it!!!) seems to work; have you tried disabling cthelper in your config as that seems to ?$!&^ everything up; on my system it was causing crashes and also meant my system was taking 0 minutes to shut down!
And while we're at it, maybe someone from Creative could expand on the really useful info the guys above have given (thanks guys!).
Oh yeah, one last suggestion for Creative; maybe make the installation of "cthelper" optional in the installation program and/or have a check box in the Creative config software to turn it on off with an explanation as to why people may want to do this (ie may cause problems on some systems)...

Log Reader Agent: transaction log file scan and failure to construct a replicated command

I encountered the following error message related to Log Reader job generated as part of transactional replication setup on publisher. As a result of this error, none of the transactions propagated from publisher to any of its subscribers.
Error Message
2008-02-12 13:06:57.765 Status: 4, code: 22043, text: 'The Log Reader Agent is scanning the transaction log for commands to be replicated. Approximately 24500000 log records have been scanned in pass # 1, 68847 of which were marked for replication, elapsed time 66018 (ms).'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 20011, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on ServerName.'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 18805, text: 'The Log Reader Agent failed to construct a replicated command from log sequence number (LSN) {00065e22:0002e3d0:0006}. Back up the publication database and contact Customer Support Services.'.
2008-02-12 13:06:57.843 Status: 0, code: 22037, text: 'The process could not execute 'sp_replcmds' on 'ServerName'.'.
Replication agent job kept trying after specified intervals and kept failing with that message.
Investigation
I could clearly see there were transactions waiting to be delilvered to subscribers from the followings:
SELECT * FROM dbo.MSrepl_transactions -- 1162
SELECT * FROM dbo.MSrepl_commands -- 821922
The following steps were taken to further investigate the problem. They further confirmed how transactions were in queue waiting to be delivered to distribution database
-- Returns the commands for transactions marked for replication
EXEC sp_replcmds
-- Returns a result set of all the transactions in the publication database transaction log that are marked for replication but have not been marked as distributed.
EXEC sp_repltrans
-- Returns the commands for transactions marked for replication in readable format
EXEC sp_replshowcmds
Resolution
Taking a backup as suggested in message wouldn't resolve the issue. None of the commands retrieved from sp_browserreplcmds with mentioned LSN in message had no syntactic problems either.
exec sp_browsereplcmds @xact_seqno_start = '0x00065e220002e3d00006'
In a desperate attempt to resolve the problem, I decided to drop all subscriptions. To my surprise Log Reader kept failing with same error again. I thought having no subscription for publications log reader agent would have no reason to scan publisher's transaction log. But obviously I was wrong. Even adding new log reader using sp_addLogreader_agent after deleting the old one would not be any help. Restart of server couldn't do much good either.
EXEC sp_addlogreader_agent
@job_login = 'LoginName',
@job_password = 'Password',
@publisher_security_mode = 1;
When nothing else worked for me, I decided to give it a try to the following procedures reserved for troubleshooting replication
--Updates the record that identifies the last distributed transaction of the server
EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1
-- Flushes the article cache
EXEC sp_replflush
Bingo !
Log reader agent managed to start successfully this time. I wish if I could have used both commands before I decided to drop subscriptions. It would have saved me considerable effort and time spent re-doing subscriptions.
Question
Even though I managed to resolve the error and have replication funtioning again but I think there might have been some better solution and I would appreciate if you could provide me some feedback and propose your approach to resolve the problem.

Hi Hilary,
Will the below truncate the log file marked for replication, is there any data loss, when we execute this command, can you please help me understand, the internal working of this command.
EXEC sp_repldone @xactid = NULL, @xact_segno = NULL, @numtrans = 0, @time = 0, @reset = 1

Open connections between AS Java and AS ABAP when using JRA

Hi, we have a problem with open connections and hope that someone here could give me hint where to find a solution.
The situation is that we open a connection from a Java application to an AS ABAP. In detail, the application first connects to a statefull session bean on the AS Java by RMI. The bean communicates with the associated AS ABAP by the Java Resource Adapter (JRA).
All interactions between all components work correctly. But even after we close the application, manually close of the connections (on side of the AS Java) , remove all created and used session beans there are still open connections between the AS ABAP and the AS Java.
The transaction smgw (Gateway Monitor) shows open connections from jlaunch to our local SAP gateway using the internal communication protocol. Obviously, the established connections are not closed, even when they are open for a week or longer.
After opening 100 connections, the AS ABAP denies additional connection attempts.
We have been able to close all open connections by restarting the AS Java or by restarting the Connector over the Visual Administrator (path: Cluster Server Services Connector Container select the right connector stop / start).
We have developed our application similar to the tutorial from [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ad09cd07-0a01-0010-93a9-933e247d3ba4]
Can someone explain to us why the connections stay open for so long? Is there no timeout mechanism? Or is there some way to close the connections from our Java application?

Hello,
maybe someone can help us with our problem.
We have developed our application similar to the tutorial from https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ad09cd07-0a01-0010-93a9-933e247d3ba4 and it was running without problem with the SP12, now we change our system to SP16 and we are having the problem described in note 1083348, but as you can see, for us it was working with SP12 and now it doesn't work with SP16....
Here is part of our code....
    public List getAll() {
        String functionName = "bla";
        try {
            openConnection();
            MappedRecord response = (MappedRecord) interaction.execute(null, request);
            MappedRecord record = (MappedRecord) response.get("E_S_RETURN_CODE");
            if (((String) record.get("RETURN_CODE")).equalsIgnoreCase("E")) {
                throw new SQLException((String) record.get("RETURN_TXT"));
        catch (ResourceException exc) {
            throw new EJBException(".");
        catch (SQLException exc) {
            throw new EJBException(".");
        finally {
            closeConnection();
    protected void openConnection() {
        try {
            connection = connectionFactory.getConnection();
            interaction = connection.createInteraction();
        catch (ResourceException exc) {
            interaction = null;
            connection = null;
            throw new EJBException(getExceptionText(exc));
protected void closeConnection() {
       try {
            if (interaction != null) {
                interaction.close();
            if (connection != null) {
                connection.close();
        catch (ResourceException exc) {
            throw new EJBException(".");
With that code we are getting this error: "Connection handle is already closed and no longer associated with a managed connection" everytime we try to close the connection in the method closeConnection().
We were thinking that maybe we should not close the connections, because the were already close, and tried not to close the connection (connection.close()), but then after a few time we are getting the following error, because we are not closing the connections:
Connection to ABAP System could not be opened, because the Connection Factory returns "Cannot get connection for 120 seconds. Possible reasons: 1) Connections are cached within SystemThread(can be any server service or any code invoked within SystemThread in the SAP J2EE Engine), 2) The pool size of adapter "eis/..." is not enough according to the current load of the system or 3) The specified time to wait for connection is not enough according to the pool size and current load of the system. In case 1) the solution is to check for cached connections using the Connector Service list-conns command, in case 2) to increase the size of the pool and in case 3) to increase the time to wait for connection property. In case of application thread, there is an automatic mechanism which detects unclosed connections and unfinished transactions.". Please check the connection defined for the Connection Factory of the Java Resource Adapter with JNDI name...
Any help?

CF card to Ipad with camera connection kit?

I have a cannon 5d and 5d mark ii, and was really hoping to transfer images to my iPad from these cameras via the camera connection kit as they both use CF cards and not SD cards. But these cameras do not work with the USB camera connector. So I thought maybe I could use a card reader and the USB connector. But my card reader seems to use to much power. Does anyone know of a CF card reader that works with the connection kit or any other method that may help me??. Thanks

I have a Canon 20-D and I intend on getting an upgrade Canon (not the 50-D but the one step up from that, ... the one with video capability). Anyways, I bought the Apple camera connector kit and it is the BEST...! I, too, had an initial problem with not being able to use the connector kit until I remembered that I have this "Hama" USB2.0 Card Rreader )35 in 1 (this is what I am reading that is on top of this dark blue item that is the intermediary between the camera connector kit doohicki and my computer (or ipod, or iPad). It works like a charm.
The best thing of all is that this USB camera connector kit is NOT just for pics but can be used for lots of things that are USB connectable. In the newest issue of MacLife they discuss the multiple uses of this camera connector kit. One can even use it for a (USB) key board. One thing that i like about Apple's c.c kit is that the photos that you take can be put directly onto your ipod or ipad or iphone WITHOUT first downloading onto a computer ( & then transferring them).

After of it, I checked that the app had a new version available for downloading, I took a backup of my ipad and then upgrade this app, but is the same problem, all I want is to save the projects I had in this app, I´m afraid that if I delete this app and re-install it, probably I loss my projects.
Thanks for your help indicating how I can save my projects and see them for example in an iphone for assurance that data is not lost.

Adobe Reader 9 will not install reporting installatiom package could not be opened

I have WIN XP PRO with SP3. This is a new machine and is running beautifully except Adobe Reader 8 or 9 will not install.
At about 94% done the Adobe Download manager stops and shows the following Windows Installer message
The installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package.
Of course when I click OK. I get the message from the downloader that "Installation operation completed successfully". Which of course is not true.
Can any one explain what is happening, and how I should address?

Thanks for the help. Your solution to unregister and register msiexec did not resolve the problem, but it got me thinking and I continued looking down this line of thought through the Microsoft KB articles. There I found a comment per security rights authorization. I had been using an account with administrator rights, but I tried again using the actual administrator account. This worked fine. Adobe 9 is installed and running.

Log Reader Agent is getting stopped

I am getting in the logreader agent and it getting stopped Abruptly showing below error
"The replication agent has not logged a progress message in 10 minutes. This might indicate an unresponsive agent or high system activity. Verify that records are being replicated to the destination and that connections to the Subscriber, Publisher,
and Distributor are still active."
When i start the agent it gets started but can i know why its getting stopped and how can i resolve this issue.
Thanks in advance.

I wish you have mentioned this was Oracle at the beginning:)
This is a known problem with Oracle Publishing. Microsoft is now recommending you use Attunity to track changes in Oracle and use SSIS to replicate the commands.
Open a support incident with Microsoft to help you to address the log reader problem and advise you on the best approach to this.

Error when opening XLSX file with Excel 2003 SP3, file does open but in read only mode with temporary name

I am using Excel 2003 SP3 and have the Office 2007 compatibility pack installed. When I open Office 2007 formatted Excel files (XSLX) directly in Windows Explorer, I receive the following error if I do not have Excel already opened:
"Windows cannot find '<path to file>'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."
Even though I receive the error, the file does open; however, it opens in Read Only mode with a name such as "Xl0000024.xls". The number seems to increment up each time it happens.
Now here is the strange part. If I have Excel already open and try to open the file in Windows Explorer, the file opens fine in Modify mode with no error and with the correct file name.
I Googled the error I was getting and found KB211494. It says I should uncheck the box in Options on the General tab that says "Ignore other applications", but this box is already unchecked in my case. Any other ideas? This is
really frustrating as a small percentage of our company has upgraded to Office 2007 with the rest still on Office 2003.

This may be a file association problem. To solve that:
In Windows 7:
1. Right-click the file,
2. Select "Open With"
select [Your Program Here]
3. Check always use this program.
In Windows XP:
1. Locate the file as you have described above
2. Right click the file
3. Select Open with from the pop-up menu
4. Click Choose default program…
5. Select Excel in the Recommended Programs box
6. Check Always use the selected program to open this kind of file
7. Click on OK.
1. Make Excel not available from Office 2007 listed under Programs and Features in Control Panel.
2. Take a registry backup using the steps given here
3. In the registry editor window expand HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and navigate to .xls right and delete it.
4. Exit Registry Editor
5. Undo Step 1 to make Excel available.
6. Restart the computer and verify it the issue is fixed.
