Because Gnome-volume-manager has the worst support for automount...
This is stupid that I want to eject my cdrom and I can't manual click on eject button on cdrom.. beacuse it's locked... <confused>
Even subfs [submount] or supermount has this implementation...
Any help??

My wife can no longer transfer music from her library onto her iphone 3gs. When I click manage music manually it says she has another library, nothing has changed and everything is up to date. Help!

We have seperate profiles too, on our windows laptop, and seperate music libraries, and mine works fine... Managing music manually says she has another library connected, but this is simply not the case. When I check in preferences, it has the correct filepath... So now nothing from her library with transfer over. Using iTunes 11.01 but this happened on 11.

Why have Apple made this so bloody annoyingly complicated. She bought a downloader from the Apple store and downloaded music on her phone which I subsiquently downloaded to our laptop. I placed this music into the iTunes Folder. I even went ot the correct location to see if it was there, and it was! But now, nothing in her library will transfer, even purchased music. Clicking on the Manage Music Manually button only makes it say that she has more than one library and her phone will be wiped if she goes any further. What is the bloody story with iTunes!!? It looks lovely but works like something out of the dark ages. No wonder people are moving to Android in droves...
Anyway, any help, ideas or criticisms will be welcomed. Nothing I have tried (updates etc) has worked. I have checked the files in question, the format is fine, they even play in iTunes which means they must exist. I have physically checked this too, so what's the story???

Dbus/hal/gnome-volume-manager problem

I've got hal and dbus running but it doesnt even seem that gnome-volume-manager is started. I added it to my gnome session but that didnt seem to do the trick. I'm trying to be able to just plug in my usb key and ipod and have them automount. It works if I restart hal or run gnome-volume-manager from the command line but then work work again unless I restart that stuff again. Here is a cut from my fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod auto user,noauto 0 0

Hi lhoerste,
I had this problem with automount as well. The way I fixed it was adding
dbus hal to daemons line in /etc/rc.conf. You probably did this already.
Next, when you are in the gnome desktop, stick in a cd. Nothing happens right?
Now go to preferences=>removable drives and media (I think this is what it is called. I'm not sitting infront of my computer at the moment). Then make sure that the checkboxes pertaining to "mount automatically" are checked.
Close window.
Now your cd should automount and appear on the desktop. Eject the cd by right clicking on the icon and choosing eject.
Now, restart and ***make sure you save settings*** before leaving.
Get back into the gnome desktop and plug your cd back in. It should automount now.
This is how I got automount to work for me.

TS2097 I inserted a new DVD, it is working but not coming out. Whenever I try to eject it, it does not come out. Apple should provide us the easy and manual way to eject CD/DVD or?

Hello,
I inserted a new DVD in my mac book pro, its working and the drive is reading the dvd but unfortunately is not coming out. I have tried several ways mentioned on all over the net and apple community websites but nothing has worked so far.
I need a easier and manual way to eject the DVD. Where is apple's help?
Please help me. This is one of the weaknesses Apple should work on because it is causing us pain and loss of efficiency which is not apple's quality.
Thanks

Thanks for asking, actually I just found a trick on a website.
It siad that restart MBP while holding eject button, I did it and DVD came out right away.
I hope that this works out for everyone.
But still there is a need for a manual eject system so that people don't worry about stucking the DVD or CD in th drive.
Thanks anyway dear.

HT1758 my old imac has no manual button to eject my dvd from the hard drive

I am having trouble ejecting the dvd from my old imac which has no manual button to help me eject manually.

Force eject a stuck cd/dvd
First try the normal methods to remove the disc. Drag its icon to the Trash can in the Dock or select 'Eject' from the File menu.
If you are running a virtual machine, e.g. VMFusion, ensure that the CD is disconnected from the virtual machine. This will sometimes allow the CD to now show up in Mac OS X.
Shut down the computer and start up whilst holding down the mouse button. This may take some time, but keep your finger on the mouse button right up until the disc comes out or the log-in screen has appeared.
If you have Toast Titanium installed on your computer, choose EJECT DISC from the menubar.
Sometimes you can successfully use the eject disc button in iTunes even if the disc is not visible to the Finder
Open Disc utility and choose the disc you wish to eject in the left-hand pane, then click on the Eject button.
Some Macintoshes have a paperclip hole that you can insert a straightened paperclip into, manually triggering the eject mechanism.
Open Terminal and type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.
If your computer has an eject button on the keyboard, restart the computer holding down the Option key. When the startup disk selection screen appears, let go of the option key and press the keyboard's eject button.

Can't use built in volume manager in PCMan File Manager

Trying to use the built in volume manager in PCMan FM causes 2 error messages to appear. They are unreadable (the title bar says "Unable t" that's it). An error like the one that follows appears in the the console (or whatever Eterm is) for each:
(pcmanfm:3084): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1 char 57: '-' is not a valid character following a '<' character; it may not begin an element name
After those a third message box appears and says: "Directory doesn't exist". That box is not accompanied by any error text on the console.
I assume the first to say something like "Unable to mount" but I don't know WHY.
The problem does NOT occur if I mount it as root (using sudo) and access it that way. This however then requires any further access to be made as root if anything useful is to be done with the drive (copying files, writing to it, etc.)
I'm running Fluxbox as my WM, if that matters.
Thanks in advance!

Hmm...the wiki refers to files I don't have. /etc/hal/fdi/policy and /etc/hal/fdi/information are both empty directories (even when viewed as root). Any thoughts?
I feel like an idiot now. I should have guessed i needed to put those files in.

KDE network management backend changed on update.

The last couple of KDE updates have caused the network management backend to be changed to wicd. I use NetworkManager 0.9 -- I don't even have wicd installed (but I used to). The network backends listed in System Settings / Information Sources are NetworkManager 0.9, Wicd and Fake Net, but after updating Wicd is moved to the top of the list and NM0.9 to the bottom.
The first time this happened, my wireless stopped working until I worked out what had changed, but when I updated today (KDE 4.6.3-1 to 4.6.3-2), KDE Daemon and Plasma Desktop would crash when I logged in. I was able to start programs from krunner, so ran plasma-desktop from konsole and saw wicd mentioned in the output before it crashed. I changed the network management backend back to NM in systemsettings and now it works.
Can anyone tell me why the backend is changed when I update? Should Wicd even be listed, since it isn't installed?
I also noticed a couple of other weird things after updating today. I'm not sure they are related, but I'll mention them just in case. The arch logo that appears at the start when I boot has changed to a picture of tux, and a modprobe usage message appears just before the line "INIT: version 2.88 starting" (or something like that).

i thought they were the same thing... Tried knetworkmanager and it works fine, thank you very much.

WebStart Flash and Veritas Volume Manager

I would like to use WebStart Flash for backup of the system
disk. The goal is to be able to recover the system disk rapidly.
It works perfectly for systems without Veritas Volume
Manager on the system disk.
However, if Veritas Volume Manager is installed and used
for mirroring the root disk, the system is not able to boot using
WebStart Flash. This is probably because the "private region"
of the disk is not included in the flash archive.
Does anybody have a solution for this, or does any of
you successfully combine WebStart Flash and Veritas
Volume Manager?
I use Jumpstart and the install_type is configured to
flash_install.
The question was also asked in the newsgroup
comp.unix.solaris.
Rgds,
Henrik

For many reasons, today you cannot save the VxVM
private region information as an implicit part of a
flash archive. The procedure would likely be to
unencapsulate the root drive, create the flash archive,
then re-encapsulate the root drive. This is an ugly
procedure and may cause more pain than it is worth.
When a root disk is encapsulated, an entry is put
into the /etc/system file which says to use the VxVM
or SVM logical volume for the rootdev rather than
the actual device from which the system was originally
booted. When you create a flash archive, this modification
to the /etc/system is carried along. But, when you install
it on a new system which doesn't have VxVM properly
installed already (a chicken-and-the-egg problem)
then the change of the rootdev to the logical volume
will fail. The result is an unbootable system (without
using 'boot -a' and pointing to a different /etc/system
file like /dev/null).
The current recommended process is to use a prototype
system which does not have an encapsulated root
to create the flash archive.
VxVM also uses the ELM license manager which will
tie the VxVM runtime license to the hostid. This makes
moving flash archives with VxVM to other machines
impractical or difficult.
The long term solution would be to add logical volume
management support to the JumpStart infrastructure.
I'm not counting on this anytime soon :-(

ARQ: Manager Id manual selection from the list???

Hi,
I had discussed in my other thread here that, in some of the cases, a user may not have manager id for some reason either in HR or AD. For such users, the option is to select manager id manually from the list by pressing F4.
The problem is that, as soon as a manager id is searched, this will display "all" the users available in GRC system: requester, manager, role owner, other dialog users and even background users!
This causes the requester to select incorrect manager id and exposes all the irrelevant users from GRC system.
May I know how I can control this? Or do we have any other way to handle this?
As I know, there are following options:
1. Maintain users' details properly either in AD or SAP HR systems
2.In case of non-availability of manager id, route request to appropriate team/person who can take proper decision (which I have done currently)
Does any also suggest/endorse an idea to modify the default search ability of ARQ?
I would appreciate if we can have ideas/suggestions on this.
Would be waiting for kind responses.
Regards,
Faisal

Dear Alessandro,
Thanks for your reply.
Regarding :
I understand your concern regarding correct/wrong mangers. But in case that manager information is wrong in LDAP/HR from which source should GRC get the correct managers?
I would share on thing and that is, for contractors (for example) some how manager details are not maintained in LDAP (as in SAP HR only permanent employees' HR data is maintained).
I could not get the first 3 lines of next paragraph and I think this is not the issue
Basically you can say who ever is a manager can also be a manager from someone else. But it is possible that someone who is not yet a manager can be a new manager and has to be defined as manager in ARQ.
The issue that, for some type of employees (contractors), manager details are not maintained neither in LDAP nor in SAP HR system. Therefore, in such cases, manager field is empty. But let me tell you there are managers for even contractors, but not maintained in LDAP due to the maintenance responsibility and gathering this information from different department is assumed to be a big and painful task.
But these managers (for contractors) are definitely available in GRC system as approvers. Therefore, for users (contractors) whose manager is not maintained, manually it is to be selected from the search option. If we start searching for a "suitable" manager, then it displays all the users available in GRC system (because they are created in SU01).
Also, we might face similar problem at the time of forwarding a request! Actually, a manager should only see the list of other managers, not all users!
Similarly, a role owner will intend to forward his responsibility to another role owner only!
Therefore, we should only see the relevant users from the search, but not all!
Please share your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Faisal

Volume Manager RAID-1 maintance procedures for X2100

Hi all,
we are using the new Sun Fire X2100 with Solaris 10 and a Volume Manager RAID-1 configuration.
Configuring Mirroring with Volume Manager isn't complicated at all (apart from some tricks necessary on x86 systems).
Does anybody know how to properly handle maintenance situations. We would like to replace a faulty disk without a need for restarting the system, switching it off or changing to single user mode. Cause the X2100's two drives are hot swappable, in principle, this should be possible, isn't it?
Thanks in advance

C Program APIs or "ioctls" to access volume information created using Solaris Volume Manager

Hi,
Does "SUNWlvm" provide any C language program APIs or "ioctls" to know
about volumes created using "Sun Volume Manager" like volume
components, size, type and rest. I did not find any API manual page.
Thanks,
Jai

XTier Service Manager Causing Delay In Windows Explorer

Before I get into too much details...
Novell XTier Service Manager causes delay displaying folders in mapped drive. This happens in Windows Explorer when I click on any mapped drive OR when I click on My Computer.
This happens after about 10min+ of "idling".
Stopping Novell XTier Service Manager makes this delay go away immediately.
Any type of help will be greatly appreciated... I'm really out of things to try...
I have Win7sp1x64 with Client 2 SP3 installed.
Thank you.

It might help to change the provider order, such that "Microsoft Windows Network" is placed above "NetWare Services" See TID 7000693.

Novell Technical Services
>>> wonrhee<[email protected]> 7/10/2013 7:36 PM >>>
It's Netware 5.1 and I don't even log into NDS.
Installed freshly downloaded Client2 with Computer Logon Only setting.
Then log into AD which maps few drives to Win2008 file server. Again,
not logging into Novell...
I see that XTier Service is running... Click on Start->Computer, click
on one of the mapped drive or My Computer... Bam, there is a delay of
about 4-8 second before any folders show up.
If I stop XTier Service, this delay behavior disappears.
No error logs, tried Client2sp1,2, and 3; same delayed action showing
folders.
This forum section has the most threads about NClient2 issues, hence
here I am.
I just don't know where to go from here... Winxp clients work just
fine... Of course that's with different Client version.
I do have just handful Win7x64 that works wonderfully...

Volume Manager in Solaris 10

Hi All -
I loaded Solaris 10 OS on two separate disks to be managed by RAID. The idea was that if one disk OS crashes, then RAID will switch me to the other disk and I should be able to boot from that without major loss in operational time of the node. For such a scenario, do I need to have Veritas Volume Manager or does Solaris 10 come with an default volume manager which will do this for me.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Regards

KDE Printer Manager fails with "client-error-bad-request"

I'm having some trouble with printing on my system. The KDE printer manager shows "client-error-bad-request" and no other information. When I run the KCM from the command line, I also get "kcmshell(17286) KCupsRequest::serverError: status unrecognised: 1024" on the console. I wasn't able to find any useful information on this issue on google or these forums; not even what the 1024 status code means. It seems to me that this may be a bug in the kcm_printer_manager module, but I'd like to rule out other possibilities first. Unfortunately, I don't know what to try from here. I'll provide as much potentially relevant information as I can think of below.
Changes since last successful print job:
Multiple updates to KDE packages
Update to cups that changed systemd unit file names.
Stopped and disbled old units
daemon-reload
Enable and start new units
Other updates to cups since then, if I recall correctly.
Packages and versions:
kdeutils-print-manager 4.14.3-1 (owns kcm_printer_manager module for kcmshell4)
kdebase-runtime 4.14.3-1 (owns kcmshell4 binary)
cups 2.0.1-1
libcups 2.0.1-1
systemd 218-1
linux 3.17.6-1
Let me know if any other information might be helpful.

Anyone please help.
Thanks,

How do you change volume permissions with Solaris Volume Manager?

(Previously posted in "Talk to the Sysop" - no replies)
I'm trying to set up Solaris 9 to run Oracle on raw partitions. I have my design nailed down and I have built all the raw partitions I need as soft partitions on top of RAID 1 volumes. All this is built using Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
However, all the partitions are still owned by root. Before I can create my Oracle database, I need to change the owner of the Oracle partitions to oracle:oinstall. The only reference I found telling me how to do this was in a Sun Blueprint and it essentially said "You can't change volume permissions directly or permanently using SVM and chown will only remain effective until the next reboot. To make the changes permanent, you must modify /etc/minor_perm". Unfortunately, I can't find an example of how to do this anywhere and the online man pages are not particularly helpful (at least not to me).
I'd appreciate a quick pointer, either to a good online resource or, even better, a simple example. For background, the volumes Oracle needs to own are:
/dev/md/rdsk/d101-109
/dev/md/rdsk/d201-203
/dev/md/rdsk/d301-303
/dev/md/rdsk/d401-403
/dev/md/rdsk/d501-505
I provide this information because I'd like to assign some, but not all, of the devices under /dev/md/rdsk to the oracle user and I was hoping some smart person out there could illustrate an approach using simle regular expressions, at which I'm horribly poor.
Thanks in advance,
Adrian

Ron, I feel your pain. I just came from an HTC also and a lot of stuff with this iPhone is bugging the crap out of me. Who makes a phone where you can't adjust the ringer and alert volumes independently? Instead, I have to adjust the alert volume when it is active. C'mon guys. Get with the program. You won a bunch of Android users over with the 4S, but you're going to chase us all back when we're done with our contract. Frustrating.
