i updated the four new files (*.pacnew). after a reboot i realized that mysqld failed to start and i didn't find anything in the logs. next thing was that the wicd daemon started and connected, but wicd-client failed with the error message "Bus error.". chromium also fails:
[16297:16297:1023095321:ERROR:chrome/browser/process_singleton_linux.cc(949)] Failed to create socket directory.
[16297:16297:1023098229:ERROR:chrome/browser/browser_main.cc(1293)] Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile corruption.
i found out that uninstalling jdk solves the problem, but that's no option for me. the above errors also appear when i install openjdk6 or jdk version 6u23-4. chromium doesn't even start if i install jdk after a reboot without logging in and out again (ergo java is not even in the path).
maybe that's also interesting:
$ uname -a

i couldn't find any related problems on the web...
thank you for any help, ideas or hints!

strange thing was, wicd and chromium worked when run as root. but i found the reason: no space left on my root partition =o| .

  • Submitting a form with enter key causing strange problems

    I am having a very strange problem with a webapp I am currently developing. I am using JSF 1.2 along with Facelets and RichFaces. I have coded a workflow/wizard 4-step process, and on some pages I have 4 submit buttons that all call different actions on the page. The users thought it would be useful to have the enter key submit the form, so I followed some online resources to trap a keypress using javascript, looking for the enter keycode and calling document.getElementById("elementName").click(). This works fine most of the time. Sometimes, though, it seems as if an entire new session is being created, and odd behavior starts happening. For example, my page will only include 2 of the 4 facelets on the screen -or- I will get NullPointerExceptions for objects that I know have been created in the session bean I am currently using -or- I will get a duplicate form Id after trying to re-submit the page. Could the javascript click simulation not be submitting all of the form elements or is the enter key also acting like its default action (the form submission) in addition to the "click"? I'm really at my wit's end here (plus it's nearly 3 AM, that never helps things). All of the buttons being clicked are standard h:commandButtons. There is some setTimeout logic included to disable the buttons on the page to prevent double clicks (I cannot disable them onsubmit because disabled buttons don't pass the right values, perhaps that's causing it, but if so, clicking the buttons with the mouse would cause that issue too, right?)
    I am not posting the code (yet), but if anyone wants to take a look see and see if I am doing something really abhorrently wrong, I'm more than willing to, I'm just curious if anyone has had problems regarding javascript submission of forms via the click() method. Clicking the button does not exhibit this type of behavior. Just as a side note: I am doing different things with the enter key depending if a modal window is open (the enter key closes the modal if it's up, and if not, it submits the form via a button click).
    Any help is much appreciated, if anyone has any inkling about where I should start looking for answers it would be really helpful.
    Thank you.

You need to suppress the event handling after programmatically clicking the button.

  • Short code causes a strange problem - About the list again -- please read!

    Hi again people. Maybe you remember my project - has a list, that you can search thru using a text field. During the work I got stuck on a strange problem ( Again :-( ) My app has one text field, one combo box, one list and a text field once more. The code should do the following ->
    *1. Load the list, no problem with that.*
    *2. Show the elements of the list, that match the selected group in the combo box,no problem.*
    *3. Search thru the list using the text field,no problem.*
    4. When the user selects an element from the list, it should display its info in the second text field. This also works fine, but when after looking at info of one of the elements the things on numbers 2 and 3 ( look up! ) stop working. I must say that everything works fine until user selects an element from the list. I couldnt understand this kind of behavior so I am asking you to help me please.
    The code is very simple:

    Keith, thanks for making that readable. So here's the diagnosis -
    In the refresh() method, calling defaultListModel.clear() results in a valueChanged(...) event in which this method calldefaultListModel.getElementAt(list.getSelectedIndex())results in the exception noted, as getSelectedIndex returns -1, the list being empty... you can't getElementAt(-1).
    I haven't analyzed all the code nor checked whether is now works as desired, but this small change to valueChanged counters the exception being thrown.   public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
    infoField.setText(""); // do this unconditionally
    if (list.getSelectedIndex() != -1) {

    Yea! You were right! I didnt think that calling *list_model.clear();* will result in calling *valueChanged()* ........
    That was some *clear()* thinking :-) Thank you!

  • Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

    Hi all,
    About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
    1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
    2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
    3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
    4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
    5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
    I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
    I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
    1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
    2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
    3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
    Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Strange problems on Macbook Pro over past year...

    I'm about to do an erase and install after having numerous strange problems on my mid 2009 17" Macbook Pro (Leopard) over the past year, some of which I have opened threads for on these forums.
    They are listed bellow to see if anyone wants to give their final two cents as to what is causing them. They may or might not be related.
    1) I recently found the "Unknown" user classifications at second from top in the user priveleges for the main Macintosh HD folder and "Local Work" – which is my main folder for work.
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2741617&tstart=0
    2) Last Summer I had some very strange login problems which were well documented in this very long winding thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2485199&tstart=0
    3) Can't access iTunes store due to this error code -54. Thread opened here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2653733&tstart=0
    4) Some proceses I've seen in the activity monitor that are possibly a little sketchy are as follows:
    - "netsessionmac1" ... Akamai playing about?
    - "TaskManagerDaemo" ... with "Root" user, ... sounds a bit vague and possible malware according to google?
    5) In Skype I get constant warnings of other computers trying to connect from Little Snitch and Virus Barrier. I get so many of them one after they other pausing skype that I can only use Skype with Little Snitch off. I can only use it late at night also as there seems to be more attempts being blocked in virus barrier during the day that I can't even get past the login:
    Some examples in screen grabs:
    http://oi56.tinypic.com/xkwwtf.jpg
    http://oi55.tinypic.com/2v2w941.jpg
    And other examples of the hundreds of different IP addresses I've had asking to access computer on some obscure 4 digit port:
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/86.178.52.58
    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/94.168.76.16

    http://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/85.15.190.49
    ... etc
    6) I have to constantly open and close Mail after it hangs on sending. Says there is a connection problem on port 110 or whatever, but words fine as soon as I open again. This problem happens particularly when I want to send from my 2nd or 3rd POP or IMAP other than my normal one.
    7) Slow Safari/Firefox and internet.
    8) I got this strange warning about my IP changing recently when downloading a file:
    http://oi53.tinypic.com/2z4b77o.jpg
    9) My internet cuts out for large periods of time while the other PC desktop in my house works perfectly fine.
    Well, any last suggestions much appreciated. Many thanks.

    I suppose your expanding battery problem could have caused some or all of these problems, but most of them sound like software issues.
    If I were you I'd try a few things:
    1. boot from your snow leopard install disk and repair your startup disk with disk utility.
    2. repeat the repairs until no repairs are reported (the toilet paper principle).
    3. repair permissions again.
    4. if the problems persist, trash the preferences files for the misbehaving apps.
    5. if the problems persist, delete the misbehaving apps and reinstall them.
    6. it the shutoffs persist, try a PMU reset.
    7. a PRAM reset would probably be a good idea too.
    8. if none of that works, archive and reinstall.
    there is a freeware utility called applejack that will also do most of this.
    Details on all of these will be readily available with a google search.

  • Strange problem with how my iPhone (4S) sees a friend who recently moved his number from his old network and device to a new network and iPhone 3GS

    This is a weird one, so bear with me.
    My friend recently got an iPhone 3GS with a new SIM in it (3 network in the UK). I helped him set up the iPhone and got iMessage working between my mobile and his temporary number (07429...)
    In my Contacts I had two separate phone numbers for him: 07903... (his old number, on an old Sony Ericsson mobile with T-Mobile UK) and 07429... (the number that came with the 12-month contract I purchased for him; we called this his "temporary" number).
    His old number (07903...) was transfered over to his iPhone with no problems. His iPhone has worked flawlessly.
    But since that day I've had some really strange behaviour on my iPhone (a 4S, also on 3 UK): I removed his temporary number (07429...) from my contacts. But now when I try to text him at the old number (07903...) it bounces back at me as if the number doesn't exist. But if I try to text him at the temporary number (07429...) it works just fine and in my contacts and within Messages it appears as an iMessage-connect number.
    So I tried deleting everything and starting from scratch. Still the same behaviour.
    No one else is having this problem with him. I can call his old number (07903) just fine, I just can't text it.
    I'm guessing that there's something with the way Contacts works with iMessage that's caused the problem. It's as if my contacts have updated properly under-the-hood (iMessage *does* work just not with the right number).
    And yes, when I (or anyone) tries calling the temporary number (07429...) it's out of service. Which is correct. So it's not simply a case of *both* numbers being active.
    So this is very peculiar.
    In typing up this message it occured to me that I ought to try creating an all-new contact with some slight change in the name fields (e.g. include the middle initial) and see if I can get it to work properly. Then I ought to be able to change the name field (or just leave it alone, touch wood!).
    Thanks in advance for reading this far. It's difficult to explain this problem succintly!
    Cheers,
    Carey

    I've fixed my own problem.
    In the end, the issue was with iMessage on the other phone, not mine.
    While I had it connected to iTunes (the other phone, not mine), I could see that iTunes thought it was the temporary number (07429...). I turned iMessage off and back on again and the phone number in iTunes changed to the old (i.e correct) number (07903...).
    Subsequently, texts from my phone to the other phone showed up as blue-bubbled iMessages.
    Hope this helps someone!
    Thanks for reading, if you did.

  • Strange problem with Zen Style 300

    I got a Zen Style 300 for my birthday and it is given me some problems. I tried looking at this forum and on google, but so far haven't found anything like it. What happens is that during the sync process, some folders on my portable harddisk (which is where the music is located) get renamed into names with strange symbols and become unreadable. The strange thing is that it doesn't happen with all files and just as strange is that it does happen with files not related to the sync that are located in a completely different folder. You can imagine I got quite scared the first time, afraid of having lost my music collection, but on restart everything was fine again. Until I plugged in the ZEN again that is.
    My second problem is probably related to it. Part of the files transfered to the player don't show up when I try to listen to them with the player. When I check they have been copied to the player correctly, yet somehow they don't show up.
    I have Windows XP and tried syncing with the standard Creative software, MediaMonkey and iTunes but they all face the same problem. Although with the second problem it might happen that files copied one way don't show up, while the same files transfered with a different program do. All 3 cause the problem with my harddisk. I tried formatting the player and updating it. So anyone has any idea what might cause this?

    I have a similar problem. It recognized and paired with a Sony Ericsson MW600 Hi-Fi Bluetooth Stereo Headset once. I lost connection, could no longer connect, and tried to re-pair it. Now it recognizes the the headset's name (MW600), but when you try to pair with it stays on a "Please wait..." message. It will stay that way forever until I press the back (left) arrow. Then the message says "Remote Device not responding" and pairing fails. This MW600 headset pairs with other devices (cell phone, PC) just fine, though, so it's not malfunctioning.
    I suspect this might be a Bluetooth version compatibility issue? I say that because when I connect to a Jawbone Era (pretty new device, probably latest Bluetooth spec), everything goes fine.
    Also, if I clear all devices, then try to pair to just the Sony Ericsson MW600, I can get the M300 in a state where it hangs and will not respond to anything. I then have to press the reset button using a paperclip to start over.

  • Strange problem in AFW custom module (question for gurus)

    Hi there SDN'ers,
    I have I very strange problem with an additional Adapter Module I developed.
    My scenario is: IDOC -> JDBC (Oracle)
    Well, to make a long story short, say that before the JDBC Receiver cc can write my data to the db, I have to do (inside the channel) kinda java mapping in order to produce an XML document that is acceptable for it. So in my module I manipulate the payload via DOM. No problem here.
    The strange story is: at first attempt, the Adapter fails (see error below), while after 5 minutes, when automatically trying again, it succeeds.
    Just because I put some stuff in the message audit log, what I can tell you is this weird thing:
    1. at first, no XML document exists in the payload, but in place of it there's this string:
    org.apache.crimson.tree.XmlDocument@745501c6
    which seems to be a toString() of something I don't (or don't know to) use directly
    2. at the second attempt, even in the audit log I can actually see the weel-formed XML document ready for the JDBC adapter, and in fact data are written to the db.
    ?? WHAT COULD THIS BE CAUSED BY ??
    Say also that the the other way around (JDBC->IDOC) with another very similar module works perfectly.
    Thanks.
    Alex

  • Strange Problem - All of my preloaded .swf files play at once

    Hey guys,
      I've been getting a strange problem that I haven't been able to debug.  I recently developed an interactive audio and video treatment program that users click through in which a master swf file (DTM-Start.swf) uses ActionScript upon first being loaded to load the rest of the program in the background.  Here's how the code looks: 
    import flash.display.MovieClip;
    import flash.display.Loader;
    import flash.net.URLRequest;
    import flash.events.Event;
    // create movieclip objects to hold the loaded movies
    var intr1:MovieClip;
    var maladaptIntr1:MovieClip;
    var maladaptIntr1Loader:Loader = new Loader();
    var maladaptIntr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Maladapt1.swf");
    maladaptIntr1Loader.load(maladaptIntr1Request);
    maladaptIntr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, maladaptIntr1Loaded);
    var intr1Loader:Loader = new Loader(); 
    var intr1Request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("DTM-Intr1.swf");
    intr1Loader.load(intr1Request);
    intr1Loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, intr1Loaded);
    function maladaptIntr1Loaded(event:Event):void
        maladaptIntr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
        maladaptIntr1.stop();
        addChild(maladaptIntr1);
        maladaptIntr1.y = -1000
        trace("maladaptIntr1");
    function intr1Loaded(event:Event):void
        intr1 = event.currentTarget.content as MovieClip;
        intr1.stop();
        addChild(intr1);
        intr1.y = -1000
        trace("intr1");
    function playIntr1() {
       intr1.y = 0;
       intr1.play();
    function playMaladapt1() {
        maladaptIntr1.y = 0;
        maladaptIntr1.play();
    So that's the idea.  What's strange is that when I load a .swf file compiled with AIR 2.6 (because the user interacts with the movie and a text file is output) it's fine too, but as soon as I add any actionscript, even if it's just a stop() command, to a .swf file compiled with AIR, the DTM-Start.swf loads and then plays all of the movies simultaneously so they're all going off at once.  Essentially, flash seems to be ignoring the maladaptIntr.stop() command in the Loaded function, for instance.  I just don't understand why adding any Actionscript whatsoever to a .swf compiled with AIR would make my DTM-Start do this.  I am very confident this is the issue too, because loading .swf files compiled with the FlashPlayer with action script are fine...AIR .swf files without Actionscript are fine too, it's only AIR .swf files with ANY actionscript that cause this problem....
    Any ideas?
    Much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ricky

    One solution is simply to have a stop() in the constructor of the document Class of each swf you're loading. Another solution is something like:
    package {
         class MainDocument extends MovieClip {
         protected var swfs:Array = ['DTM-Maladapt1.swf', 'DTM-Intr1.swf'];
         protected var positions:Array = [{x:0, y:0}, {x:0, y:0}];
         protected var movies:Array /*of  MovieClips*/ = [];
         protected var loadIndex:int;
         protected var playIndex:int;
         protected var curremtMovie:MovieClip;
              public function MainDocument() {
                   super();
                   loadMovie(loadIndex);
              protected function loadMovie(loadIndex:int):void {
                   var loader:Loader = new Loader;
                   loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onLoadComplete);
                   loader.load(new URLRequest(swfs[loadIndex]));
              protected function onLoadComplete(e:Event):void {
                   var mc:MovieClip = LoaderInfo(e.currentTarget).content as MovieClip;
                   mc.stop();
                   var position:Object = positions[loadIndex];
                   mc.x = positions.x;
                   mc.y = positions.y;
                   addChild(mc);
                   movies[movies.length] = mc;
                   loadIndex++;
                   if (loadIndex<swfs.length) {
                        loadMovie(loadInxed);
                   } else {
                        playMovie(playIndex);
              protected function playMovie(playIndex):void{
                   if (currentMovie) {
                        currentMovie.stop();
                   currentMovie = movies[playIndex];
                   currentMovie.play();
    Note that with this approach you don't need to create a whole new set of logic each time you want to add a new swf to load.

  • Strange problem with the mail app on an iPad

    I've got a bit of a strange problem with the mail app on an iPad - it's sending and receiving mail ok but won't let you delete mail. If you keep at it, it appears as if you have deleted mail (though takes a very long time as you just have to keep deleting it over and over again) -  but the size of the app still keeps going up - reached 600mb so far, even though there is hardly any mail or attachments (goes up quite a lot each time you try to delete anything) - any idea what's causing this and how I can fix it?
    It occasionally comes up with a dialogue panel saying to check my account settings, but I have checked those and they are fine. The little 'loading' icon just keeps spinning constantly too.

    go to Settings > Mail > your account > Advanced > Move Discarded Messages Into 
    and make sure that Deleted Mailbox is ticked, and not Archive Mailbox
    You can also adjust how long the deleted mail stays in the trash immediately below that.
    If you are talking about a gmail account, you may also have to login to your account on the gmail server and update the settings there.  This is what Barney previously posted about that:

  • Strange problem when using custom authentication schema

    Hello,
    I'm building a custom authentication system for the application. Basically, I followed the blog post from Martin: http://www.talkapex.com/2009/03/custom-authentication-status.html
    However, the authentication seems working fine at the beginning when running the page 101 from Application Builder and log in, but when I log out from the application (redirect back to page 101) and try to log in with the same credentials, it gives error message "Invalid Login Credentials ". Also, when the application is accessed from public (open page 101 directly using another computer), the authentication doesn't work at all.
    Furthermore, I checked the table apex_workspace_access_log and found out that it has "AUTH_SUCCESS" even if using the fake credentials and the login failed (I use "apex_util.set_authentication_result (p_code => 3);" when auth function return false).
    I couldn't find the cause of the problem, then I created the same custom authentication in apex.oracle.com. The problem doesn't appear anymore. To make sure they are same, I have double checked the custom authentication in both the development environment and the apex.oracle.com.
    This is very strange to me and I don't know where to looking for the problem. Could you give me some advice of what may cause this problem. Thanks in advance!

    I found the problem myself. The cause is the VPD, the account table has VPD policy applied, which prevented public access.

  • Some strange problem with Flash/As3

    Hi,
    I am having some strange problem with my flash cs3.
    Whatever script I write in as3  doesn't work, even a stop() function doesn't work . But when I change my publish setting to as2 it works fine.
    Not sure about the root cause, may be some setting or preference or my cs3 is corrupted.
    Can anybody please advise.
    Thanks,

  • Strange problem with portable iPod dock

    I recently bought an iLive portable dock so that I could listen to my iPod at work. It worked just fine the first few weeks and then I took my iPod on a car trip and used one of those adapters that finds an available radio frequency to play your iPod over your car radio. When I went back to work the following week my iPod no longer worked right on the portable system. I have to turn the volume all the way up on the system and even then it's all static and you can barely hear the song. I can't imagine that it has anything to do with using the adapter in the car but that's the only thing I can think of since it worked fine before this. What's really strange is that my husband's iPod works fine on the portable system and he's used the car adaptor many times. I don't think it's a problem with the iPod itself because it works fine using the headphones and hooked up to the computer. Furthermore, the speakers on the portable sytem are good because my husband's iPod works on it and I can play the radio just fine through it. I'm at a complete loss and I can't figure out what could have caused this problem. As I said, my iPod worked just fine for three weeks prior to this and out of the blue this happened. Now I can't listen to my iPod at work and it really *****.

    Does teh FM radio thingy plug into the iPod's dock connector on the bottom?
    Have you inspected the pins in the dock connector of your iPod with a magnifying glass? You might have dirt, corrosion, film, something on the pins not giving you a good connection to the signal pins on the connector (but not on the USB power and Sync pins so the iPod would still sync ok to the computer).

  • Windows 7 gadgets are not working anymore. Strange problem.

    Hello
    I'm having a strange problem with windows 7 Gadgets, I describe it as follows:
    1. Drag and drop a gadget to any part of the windows 7 desktop.
    This problem happens with all the gadgets, so you can drag and drop the gadget you prefer.
    2. Automatically, something weird happen. You will see TWO COPIES OF THE SAME GADGET PLACED IN THE DESKTOP! One of those copies, is showing the controls to close it, etc. the other copy, doesn't show any controls at all and it is glued to the desktop, you cannot
    move it.
    3. This happens with all the gadgets you drag and drop to the desktop, all them are duplicated, appearing 2 times.
    4. When you restart, windows 7 doesn't remember the gadget, so the gadget will not be there anymore and will disappear.
    5. The Fix it 50617 and Fix it 50618 DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
    6. I did all these steps, and also don't solve the problem.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2515657
    7. I tried other solution people is talking about in forums, registering the following DLL
        regsvr32 msxml3.dll
        regsvr32 scrrun.dll
        regsvr32 jscript.dll
    ALSO DON'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
    8. Restoring the system to the last point, ALSO DONT WORK. The last point was created in November 16th, 2011 and I tried to restore the system to that point and also don't solve the problem.
    I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
    How may I solve this?
    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bits
    Thanks
