Installing x11 without installing the whole system?

I did not install x11 when I installed Tiger on my Mac G5. I have now, via a number of updates, moved to version 10.4.10.
Sadly, when I insert my system install disk it will not let me install x11 without installing the whole system. That is a risky and impractical situation at this point.
Is there a way to install x11 without installing a whole new system?

On the Installer Disc One there is an installer named 'Optional Installs.' You can install the X11 software from that package without reinstalling OS X.

HELP! I need to be able to remove power from a PXI chassis and replace a card without rebooting the whole system

I do not have particulars on the controller, but I am sure it's an NI chassis
and NI regular controller that has a serial cable leading back to the PC.
I am making this PXI rack into a debug rack for instrument cards,
so I need to be able to remove power from just the PXI chassis
and then replace the card with another one
or the same one and then turn the power back on and restart a
diagnostic test on the card WITHOUT
having to reboot the PC.
Is there a PCIe bridge setup that would allow me to do this?
Is there software that I need that can accomplish this?

Yes
The Chassi is a NI PXI 1045
and the controller is a NI-PXI-8331
Let me re-enumerate my requirements:
Background:
I have a number of NI cards as well as other manufactured cards in the system.
One of these cards in the NI system is considered to be a UUT.
That is, I am using the NI card cage system and other cards in the system to test a CARD
during a manufacturing test of said UUT CARD.
The UUT uses a PLX 9030 for it's PCI interfacing.
This UUT is not designed for hot swap, and I do not bieleve it is plug and play.
Requirement:
1. I need to be able to shut off the chassis and remove the UUT when the test finishes, replace the tested UUT
with a unknown UUT, re-apply power and then test the new UUT WITHOUT having to reboot the PC.
I have tried several things, such as disabling the PCIe busses in the windows control panel, and then removing power
replacing the UUT with the next one, re-applying chassis power and then re-enabling the bus and SOMETIMES it works.
I need a very robust way to do this.
I also bought a CHROMA PXI-52906-E extender card with bus switches on it, so that I can remove power to the UUT
without shutting off the chassis. The card is supposedley designed so that when power is re-applied to the UUT, the necessary
signals to boot the PXI PCI interface is conducted, but I think something else has to be written to the card's PCI registers.
I am by no means an expert in PCI/PXI,
but I seem to have exhausted all of my reserach online in how to meet my requirements.
Perhaps there is a way for the NI8331 controller to capture PCI configuration data to the card's on system boot,
and then "replay it" to my UUT after I re-apply power to the UUT?
Or perhaps PLX makes such a tool?
Any ideas?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

PLEASE HELP!!! Installed huge font collection now the whole system crashed

I seriously need someone's help on this!! I downloaded a huge fonts collection (over 50,000 fonts) and copied them all into the System/Library/Fonts folder. Now the computer doesn't respond to ANYTHING!! It takes over 5 minutes to start up, whenever I try to open any type of program or folder, the multi-color wheel starts to go and nothing happens, even after over 30 minutes!! PLEASE I have extremely important work on my computer, I NEED to solve this without formatting the whole thing..

gilles --
These are the ones that should be in your SYSTEM > Library > Fonts folder:
AppleGothic.ttf
Geneva.dfont
HelveLTMM
Helvetica LT MM
Helvetica.dfont
HelveticaNeue.ttc
Keyboard.ttf
LastResort.ttf
LucidaGrande.ttc
Menlo.ttc (the new default font for Terminal)
Monaco.dfont
Times LT MM
TimesLTMM
It's really important not to ever fool with SYSTEM fonts.
Adding or deleting.
After you get rid of all but the above list in your SYTEM Library Fonts,
you can go back if you want and reinstall the extras that were originally installed in that folder.
They're not necessary, but then you would have a pristine SF folder.
Read this when you have recovered:
http://www.jklstudios.com/misc/osxfonts.html
by our font guru, Kurt Lang.
Loading 50,000 fonts is a terrible idea.
But if you feel you HAVE to, put them in your USERS>Library>Font folder.
All the best.
You came really close to killing your Mac.
Best of luck!

I've updated all my software and iTunes on my Macbook Pro but when I went to open iTunes it tells me it's either corrupted or not installed correctly and to reinstall it. Is there anyway to fix it without reinstalling the whole program?

Is there a way to install X11 without re-installing OSX?

I cannot find a way of installing X11 without re-installing OSX.
I've looked on the cd for the installer but with no luck.
The X11 installer isn't located in the bundled software installer and X11 will not install with the X11 SDK.
The retail verson of tiger has an optional istall on the disk but it will not work with intel macs. And the X11 download from apple will not work with Tiger (not even in Rosetta).
I've found the X11 install option when I restart my MacBook with the install DVD inside and am asked to reinstall Tiger. This doesnt do me any good because i dont want to do a fresh install of tiger just to get X11.
Does anyone know a way around this issue?
Please Help!
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

On the intel Tiger DVD there is no additional software or other software folers or packages. There is:
Install Bundled Software (which does not contain X11)
Install OSX and Bundled Software (which requires you to reinstall OSX to Install X11)
Xcode Tools Folder (which contains Xcode and Xcode extras but no X11 installer)
And documentation PDFs

Is rosetta killing the shadows of the whole system?

is rosetta killing the shadows of the whole system?
when i start an adobe app which needs rosette (photoshop, indesign, illustrator .. all CS2), all shadows of all windows (finder, mail .. every dropped shadow of any app in the whole system) are broken (ugly black lines instead of the smooth shadows).
i have to restart the macbook to solve this problem. very anoing.
ms office is doing well .. no such problem.

I'm having the drop-shadow problem, too (it's been showing up on my MacBook since the machine arrived three days ago); for those who haven't seen it, here's a screen capture.
But for me, it doesn't appear to be a Rosetta issue. I can sometimes use Rosetta apps (like Eudora) for hours without it happening, and when it does happen for me, it's often just on one or two windows, in apps like Terminal and Finder.
I called Apple Support yesterday; they said to take it in to a Genius bar. I did that today; the Geniuses on duty (who were very friendly and polite) said they'd never seen anything like it. One of them recommended re-seating the RAM (I haven't done that yet, but will shortly), and if that didn't work, doing an archive-and-install. Which I can do, but it's a little frustrating; this happened right out of the box (modulo my files and apps that got copied over from my PBG4, which of course didn't have this problem), so I don't think reinstalling the OS is going to help. But I suppose it's worth a try. (The Genius offered to do the reinstall for me, of course, but I hadn't quite backed up everything so I declined.)
Anyway, I'm posting 'cause (a) I wanted to let you know you're not alone, (b) I wanted to weigh in on the Rosetta aspect, and (c) I wanted to point people to the screen snap in case they haven't seen it.
I suppose I may as well point to my full journal entry for more details.

How can I back up the whole system?

I want to try re-install the whole system because some software do not work properly, especially gcc-software but I really need it for my work and I don't know what to do, I tried everything and I think that the only one solution is to be like a Windows-users and to re-install the whole system. But I would like to have an opportunity to get back my system in case of it will not work.
Can I use something to back up my system?

Use a program such as the Disk Utility, Carbon Copy Cloner, or SuperDuper to create a clone on an external drive.

Delete last line of a textfile without putting the whole file in memory

Hello!
I want to delete the last line of a text file without loading the whole text file into thememory. My problem is as follows:
A algorithm generates output that has to be written into a text file. This happens periodically - the output goes straight into a xml file. The xml file looks like this:
<test>
<step>
<time>2006-06-19 10:55:20</time>
<result>12321</result>
</step>
<step>
<time>2006-06-19 10:58:20</time>
<result>41515</result>
</step>
</test>
The XML file must be valid, so I have to delete the last line ("</test>") before I add a new <step>-section.
Many thanks in advance
Kind regards,
buliwyf

For processing in a separate tool which understands XML, then using a DTD to declare an external entity is often better - you wrap the entity in the document root element, so you can just append to the end of the file the entity references and not bother about inserting before the closing tag.
File other app loads:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [ <!ENTITY content SYSTEM "content.xmlfragment"> ]>
<test>&content;</test>File content.xmlfragment which can be simple appended to:
<step time="2006-06-19 10:55:20">12321</step>
<step time="2007-04-09 10:55:20">12321</step>
<step time="2008-09-26 00:03:20">12321</step>If you can't use XML to solve the problem, then you can scan backwards in the file (using random access file or file buffer) until you find a '<' character which is followed by an '/' character. You can't have CDATA after the closing tag of the document element, and comments and processing instructions have different characters following the '<'.

To reinstall the whole system using the recovry cd

Product: Notebook Toshiba tecra A4.
As the system files were corrupted i tried to recover the whole system. After inserting the recovery cd and copying the files i removed the cd and restart the computer. It comes up to the field where i have to give the computer a name. At this moment it freezes. No reaction at all. I reaptedly tried and waited each time up to 20 to 30 minutes. there is no responce at all. how can i fix this proble?

It is very strange because units and recovery procedure are tested before the units are delivered. If you didn?t change Hardware configuration and you se it without any external devices you should clarify this with your local dealer or with Toshiba authorized service partner directly. Call them and explain the situation.
I don?t know how old your unit is but if there is some serious problem the valid warranty will cover the repair costs.
Sorry pam but I am really out of idea.
Anyway good luck and if you find out what the problem is please let us know because your issue is really individual case on Tecra thread.

Installed GDM without installing Xorg

As said in the topic, I've gone and installed GDM without installing Xorg, and when I rebooted, it hangs just before the login screen. I'm assuming this is because it can't find Xorg, and so can't load.
Is there a way for me to disable GDM through the live cd? I'm not sure how to navigate into the actual hard drive through the cd, and, once there, have no clue where GDM is located. I assumed that I can't use systemctl disable gdm from within the live environment.
Thanks for your help.

That worked for me. Thanks

How to restart the Netweaver Server without restarting the whole OS (Suse)

We are setting up the SAP Netweaver Java on Suse Linux Trial in VMWare.
We require to restart the Netweaver Server several times. Is there a possibilty to restart the Netweaver Server without restarting the whole Suse Linux Server Operating System?

Hello Deniz,
startsap and stopsap have the folllowing syntax :
startsap [db|r3|j2ee|all|check] [<instance>]
you could use startsap/stopsap to start/stop any of the db or r3 or j2ee or any particular instance.
e.g.
startup db
startsap r3
startsap j2ee (just j2ee part)
similarly for stopsap
if you have multiple instance you could use the instance ABC as
startsap ABC
If you just want to restart any particular process of j2ee engine, you could use jcmon.
Hope that helps.

IMovie has frozen up on me. I've tried rebooting and reinstalling the apps- no help. I can play some of the files- but I can't get into the libraries.Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a few minutes. What can I do?

I desperately need your help. I was working on iMovie last night when the thing froze up on me. I've tried rebooting. I've tried reinstalling the apps. No change. I can play some of the files- although I can't tell which ones will play until they magically appear. I can't get into the project library or the event library. The bar that lets me scroll through the clips is gone. Even when I can get something to play the whole system crashes after a couple of minutes and generates a "problem report" that says "iMovie Quit Unexpectedly". This all started when I was adding cutaways- and one clip just would not load. After I tried several times everything froze up. Have you ever heard of something like this? Maybe I pushed a button or somehow changed a setting? Maybe some of the video is corrupt? What do you recommend?
Thanks for any advice you can offer!

I have tried all the above and nothing seems to work. Any other suggestions?

How to display the search result without reloading the whole page

HI,
I have separate fragments for Search Box to enter keyword and Search Result to display the result. Also I have different sections within the page to put these fragments. So how could I display the results without reloading the whole page.
Also if I have next button in my search result area, how could I display the search results in next page without reloading all other sections present in our page. Please let me know if any service or idoc function present such that result could be shown in search result section without reloading whole page.
Please let me know how to restrict page reload for every action within a page.
Thanks,

This is default behaviour of the template of your space. You can create a new page template and than you can create a region for the search results.
Or you can create a custom taskflow were you use the webcenter taskflows to search for the space.
Take a look at this white paper:
Extending webcenter spaces: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/webcenter/pdf/owcs_r11_extend_spaces_wp.pdf
and this one:
