KDE 4.1 and installation questions.
Hi,
I want to move up to Arch from Mint and PCLOS but the installation routine has me a little apprehensive. I always read reviews of Arch Linux and sometimes the reviewers give the impression that the installation is not for newbies. I am not a newbie anymore but I don't have a lot of time to tinker or learn - just the facts.
So, Is the installation process challenging for the averagely intelligent person with some Linux experience with the easier distros like Mint and PCLOS ? Also, how is KDE 4.1 working out on Arch ? I would definitely like to try it if it is up to snuff now. I read that 4.0 release was pretty bad.
Thanks,
B.
The documentation for installing Arch is pretty good. I found that I did have to hunt around a bit at times to get everything set up, but it is all there if you look. You can be up and running quite quickly if you know what you're doing. If you don't, you might be in for a long afternoon.
The main difference between an Arch installation and say, PCLOS, is that with PCLOS, the install is always going to end up with a KDE desktop, KDM, sound, etc, so they can automate most of the process for you. Arch is completely ala carte, so to get a KDE workstation, you have to do the base install, add a user and configure them, install X, add support for your graphics card, configure support for sound, install HAL, install KDE, install KDE applications, set up and configure networking, and then install KDM (and I'm sure I'm leaving some stuff out).
Again, there is documentation for doing all of the above, BUT if you haven't done it before and you do things out of order, or can't figure out one of the steps, you can get stuck for a very long time.
What was your reason for wanting to ditch PCLOS in the first place? Just something different or did you have something in mind?

Preparation and installation question
Hi Guys, Just got my Leopard O/S, and have couple of questions.
I want to clone my Tiger O/S using Super Duper, onto an empty 500GB drive, then use this new clone as the O/S (removing the original O/S drive to keep as a backup in case I have problems) to upgrade to Leopard.
If the above is feasible? and is upgrade the way to go?
how do I change the O/S drive making the new clone the current O/S?
Regards Denisimo
Message was edited by: DenisimoThanks Michael, I have two 500GB drives and two 250GB drives, I was thinking that it would pay to set up on one of these initially and then move my photographic data on the other drive to one of my 250Gb's to free it off for Time Machine. I'm quiet happy to to a clean installation then put my apps on after. I don't suppose there are any problems with that rout other than taking more time. As to MS office and Photoshop CS3 i'm not sure if they will be problems reinstalling them though as they may think i'm putting them on another computer if I do the Fresh Insallation! Do you think that will be the case?

Distribution Kit and Installation Question
I have an app that I built with LabWindows/CVI 2009. I also built a distribution kit for it.
How can I indicate in my distribution kit that I want to be able to install the same version or an earlier version over an existing version? My customers in the field may need to "repair" a corrupt file by reinstalling a version "over itself".
Thank you.I would not recommend the "side-by-side" option in this case.
I think that the simplest solution is to tell them to uninstall and then reinstall in the rare cases where a corrupt file needs to be fixed, but that is probably how the issue is addressed now.
Based on my experiences here (last half of that thread was hijacked for a separate topic) I doubt you will be able to change a setting to do a "repair" installation, but NI staff should be able to provide a solid answer.

X79-gd45 (8d) - Windows 7 Pro x64 installation questions
Hi,
I have a MSI X79-GD45(8D) board with i7-3930k processor that I am trying to install Win 7 x64 Pro on. I have a Sandisk Xtreme 240 SSD that I will be using as a system disk and 2X WD 1TB Black SATA 6GB/s (faex) drives that I will be using in a RAID 1 configuration for storing quickbooks and other data. This machine will run a quickbooks enterprise server serving 10 people
I want to get the installation right from the get go so that I can start testing it asap. Here are the steps that I will be taking to get this going. Could you folks comment on it so that I can modify it as needed. Thanks.
I have already installed the main board, 32GB RAM, Processor, fans etc and have setup the case. It does post without issues so far. Now for the installation, I have not partitioned the SSD (intend to make use of the full 240 GB) and leave the WD disks in a Raid 1 taking up the whole disk space (no partitions).
I am installing Win 7 x64 Pro on the SSD. Here I have several questions:
1. Do I set the SATA mode to RAID or should I just leave it at AHCI? I am assuming that this board recognizes drives in AHCI mode and installs Win 7. I ask this question because I will be using two WD SATA drives in Raid 1 for storing data later. Will the SATA mode be AHCI irrespective of that fact or should I change it to RAID after installing Win 7?
2. Should I install Intel RSTe iaAHCI or iaStorA (ver RSTe_Win7_8_64bit_3.5.0.1101_F6) with the F6 option for the setup I mentioned. I know the F6 installation in Win XP, but a little confused with Win 7. I ask this because, I have read some discussions of Intel drivers vs Microsoft's version for AHCI. Raid is confusing though. Please explain in detail if you can. Appreciated.
3 If I do F6 installation, do I install the AHCI/RAID drivers again after Win 7 is installed or does Windows properly load the F6 installation?
SSD, AHCI are all new to me with this build. I have tried to educate myself, but have some of the confusions that I listed above. Please explain how I can properly install it to the spec that I outlined above.
Your time, patience and help are all appreciated. Thanks

1.) IF you are going to be using the mainboads raid controller for the data drive. You need to set the mode to raid for the os install as well. Unless you are going to use the extra chipset for the SSD. (Ports 7 &8) You won't be able to enable raid later w/o re-installing the os.
2.) I put the os(Install) on a usb flash drive, I also include all of the drivers on this flash drive and load the newest versions even if it detects the drive right out of the gate.
3.)Once inside the OS, you would install the irst drivers there as well. (They are combined the raid bios / drivers and os drivers)
If this isn't going to be a very high I/o server, I probably wouln't bother with the SSD but since you have it you would just use it as a non-member drive of the raid. Have a fast drive for the os, isn't going to help the server all that much as most of the I/O will be on the data drive.
If this is going to be a heavily used server(high i/o) you may want to look at a raid 5 configuration for the os and data drives. As SSD's degrade over time and aren't really optimal for contant use like in a server. Raid 5 requires 3 drives minimum and is striping and mirroring so you get the best of both worlds.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels
However, the board based raid controller isn't really the best for this set up. I am fairly loyal to Adaptec Raid controllers although you need to contact Adaptec (or whoever) in regards to compatiblity as MSI doesn't test server compoents on thier desktop products.
This is the one I last used:

Enclosure management support via LED header and SES2/ SGPIO
Intelligent Power Management – Reduces power and cooling costs by as much as 70%
512MB of DDR2 667MHz
Although it is probably overkill in your situation.
Also, look into the SAS drives as opposed to the sata drives. (if you use a raid card)

It can be downloaded at http://www.ebookmall.com/ebook/277772-ebook.htm.Hi Dan,
Thanks for your observation, comment and review.
1. As a matter of fact, since many features of SAP B1 has not changed, just as you asserted, I took cognizance of new enhancements to the solution over the various releases, especially as it relates to the functionalities. By extension however, most questions for prior releases applies to the successor release.
Furthermore, there was a mix-up in the download. Ideally, you should have three sections in the book. Section I (release 2004, by extension - 2005 and 2007 releases); Section II (release 2005, by extension - 2007 release) and Section III (release 2007). The document has been reviewed. Hence, everyone that bought the book before 29th of April 2008 should visit my [blog|http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/sap/kehinde/archives/sap-business-one-solution-consultant-ebook-review-notice-24053] on how to get a copy of the revised version within 24 hours at no extra cost. I regret any inconveniences. PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON THIS FORUM.
2. On localization, SAP Business One has more than 10,000 installations across the world. The book is not intended to be "localization specific". It is intended to serve as a certification review for functionalities that cuts across board with a mix of localized functionalities. I am sure you found in there a number of localization questions for other countries like UK. My advice for individuals using the book is to identify which questions apply to their localization.
While I await your review of the [revised version|http://www.ebookmall.com/ebook/277772-ebook.htm] as an SAP Business One advisor, I believe you will agree with me that it is an invaluable resource for preparing for the certification exam and also technical interview sessions.

My Apple Macbook 13.3" Laptop-Black 2008 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo will not boot up and instead I get a grey screen with a folder and a question mark over it. I've tried Option key, and Control S keys and it still will not boop up. Can anyone help?
If you are running Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you are running Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it isthree times faster than wireless. -
Usage dependency is created at Build time and installation time
Hi,
The infrastructure guys have selected the usage dependency as Build time and Installation time, while creating software components.
"Y" SWC is created as depedency for "X" software component.
In SLD(software catalog), we are able to view the Y component as dependency in X component(at both build time and installation time). In usage dependency we are able to view Y component but when we click Y component in usage dependecy we are also able to view X component. Is there any problem with this ?
There is another issue. we are able to view basis object(in IR) in Y component but not in X component. Actually as per the above configuration basis object in IR should appear in X component.
Please refer to another forum which may give you some more idea.("BPM - Message interfaces of one component are not appearing in another comp") pasted on 17 Nov,2006.
Please could you provide us the inputs.
Thanks,

GRC: Landscape and Installation
Dear All,
My Company want to implement SAP GRC Access Control, in many of source i've found that SAP GRC is divided into 3 sequences:
1. Get Clean
2. Stay in Clean
3. Stay in Control
My Question is:
1. What is the software files to implement each of them sequences?
Actually i've read the master guide and installation guide from market place for this installation but still confused about this landscape of this installation, Please help me to install fresh SAP GRC 5.3 all above sequences? any other references?
Thanks in advance.Hello
You are right, that the SAP GRC Access controls implementation is generally shown in three stages.
1.Get clean
2.Stay clean
3.Stay-in-control
We have four products / modules in SAP GRC Access controls :
1. Risk Analysis and Remediation (RAR)
2. Enterprise Role Management (ERM)
3.Compliant User Provisioning(CUP)
4.Superuser Privilege Management (SPM)
GET-CLEAN : The access and authorization management starts with installation and configuration of RAR. RAR helps to identify all the existing SOD (segregation of duty) violations in the backend ERP systems. Once the SOD violations are identified, these will be addressed either by removing the risks from the system or introducing mitigation controls for the risks.
STAY-CLEAN : We have three products here to install and configure in this stage, i.e ERM, CUP and SPM.
ERM : It helps in preventing further introduction of SOD violations in to the system, by making the risk analysis of roles at the point of creation itself.
CUP : Ensures the user management (assignment of roles ) is free of SOD violations
SPM : Ensures the actions of superusers free of SOD violations by tracking and controlling their activities effectively
RAR, ERM, CUP and SPM have many more benefits which will be helpful in effective access and authorization management and I mentioned only the relevant points here.
Further, all these four products are independant of each other and the sequence of configuration depends on the client's requirement. However, the integration of these products helps to reap the complete benefits of access control suite.
The general sequence of configuration would be:
RAR -> SPM -> CUP -> ERM
The Master, security, configuration guides of these products can be found @ http://help.sap.com/ businessobjects/accesscontrols and the best practices @ SDN
STAY-IN-CONTORL : Involves continuous review of existing access and cuthorization managment to ensure that the ERPs are free of SOD violations.

I cannot buy music currently as I am being asked to answer security questions due to it being supposedly "the first time I have bought form this PC". This is not the case. I have now changed my password and security questions, but it is asking me the same when I try to buy again.
First off, the name of your computer is only the way it is becuase the Apple user is the first one they created after repairing the Mac. Go into Sharing System Preferences and change the name to whatever you like.
Can you explain how you did this:
This didn't seem right so I went in to it and changed the computer so that it would recognise me as the Owner/Administrator.
You can delete the Apple user in Users & Groups System Prefs. Select that user and delete it. It will ask if you want to save the user data or delete it. If you archive it, you can always delete it later and it will be available if you need to recover that account for some reason--I doubt this will be necessary. After deleting the account, and when you feel you are still working normally, you could delete that archived user folder.
I have also never seen anything ask for that. It does sound like an Epson thing, but without having access to it, I couldn't tell you for sure.
Here's what I would try. Create a new User and give them admin rights. Log in as that user and see what happens with the installer. If it still complains, it is an Epson issue. My guess is it is looking for user id 501, the first user created. If it works, then something is indeed odd about your account. If so, use that new admin account to disable Admin privileges for your account, then re-enable it. This is done in the Users & Groups system prefs. -
Photoshop Elements 10 Installation Question
How can I tell if my software installed properly? The software came with three discs, and it only installed the first disc. I am new to Photoshop, and do not know if my software installed properly? Can anyone help?
Gautham K,
Thank you for your quick replies. I have checked,and my OS is indeed 64 bit. I have been using the 32 bit version of Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, since I installed it last evening. I have a few quick questions;
Will I loose any functionality if I stay with the 32 bit version versus un-installing and installing the 64 bit version from disc 2?
If I decide to un-install, and re-install from disc 2, will there be any software registration issues (as I have already registered the software)?
Thanks again for all of your help.

Automate generation and installation of certs from AD CS over the web?
We have an environment where there are dozens of separate AD forests, none of which have (or can have) any trust relationships.
We also have an Active Directory Certificate Server that we use for generating internal certs. This AD CS server is available to all of the servers via the web console (https://some.url/certsrv), but there is no other connectivity to the AD CS other than
port 443.
The question is, are there any methods we can use to automate the generation and installation of certs from the AD CS server? Specifically, suppose I am sitting on SERVERX and I am running a script, is it possible to have that script generate and submit
a cert request to https://some.url/certsrv, then retrieve and install the cert into the machine store?
The research I have done so far shows that this is typically possible if the CA is part of the same AD forest and is reachable over more ports than just 443.
Today we do an awkward launch of iexplore and some screen scraping, but it requires manual intervention to get it to work, and we'd like to fully automate the process.You should consider to use a certificate enrollment web services (which are intended for such scenarios):

Installation Questions Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition
We are looking to install Documaker 12.3 Enterprise Edition and have the following installation questions:
When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?When installing Documaker can we have our own VM in our own OU for the WAS application servers? This will make maintenance easier on our side. There doesn’t seem to be anything in the documentation saying this is a good or a bad idea.
The typical installation scenario is to have 3 tiers - application (WAS), application (Documaker), and data. WAS tiers host web applications (Dashboard, Administrator, Interactive) as well as providing database connection pools and JMS queues for messaging - it is expected that the WAS environment is a clustered environment and that the applications are deployed to the cluster members, which can be physical or virtual. For the Documaker application server, these can be physical or virtual as well. It's recommended to install Documaker on single-purposes environments, however there's nothing to prevent you from doing otherwise. The Documaker applications are self-contained JVMs and can be tuned accordingly.
Our WAS Admins would like to know what the scripts in the Post-Setup documentation actually do. Is it possible to use our existing scripting environment to build the necessary pieces instead of using scripts from the documaker install? If it’s not possible, can we get a look at the documaker scripts before we run them?
The installation process (currently) writes the scripts according to responses provided during the installation process. The scripts can be reviewed/modified prior to execution.
We would like to know if WAS 8.5 is supported, or if version 7.0.0.27 in the requirements pdf is the only version supported?
The official supported version of WAS is 7.0.0.27, however WAS 8.5 may be suitable (I believe there might be a fix pack requirement there - would recommend you submit a question to Oracle Support for verification). -

My MacBook has a grey screen with a folder and a question mark in the middle what does this mean?
It means a valid system cannot be found. You need to reinstall OS X.
If you have Snow Leopard:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
If you have Lion or later:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

This kind of question is best asked in the Windows Forums, however I've had some succession with a similar issue myself.
Non-Genuine Windows means that it can't authenticate your copy of Windows.
It's not a problem, all your need is a genuine product key code. Provided you don't have different version of Windows 7 installed to the one you are buying (for example windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 business) Then you can use the new key code.
Click on the Start Button and type: CMD (into the 'Search programs and files' field in the Start Menu)
The Start Menu will show 'CMD.exe',
Right-click the CMD.exe file and select Run As Administrator.
In the CMD window, type: slmgr.vbs -ipk <type your product key here>
To activate windows after changing the key, type: slmgr.vbs -ato
It should now accept the new key code and you will need to be connected to the Internet to authenticate.
If by chance the windows 7 types are different (One is Home premium say and the other is Business) then you will need to uninstall that copy of Windows 7 and install the new one. If your using BootCamp then you will need to go into BootCamp under system preferences and remove that copy of Windows (delete it)
Then create a new setup with your new Windows 7 disk.
For me I had the same type of windows, changing the product code worked. Saved me the bother of having to reinstall Windows again and it was all genuine.
Best of luck
