Lion - startup fails first time, second time fine

So here's a weird issue… it started a week ago, every time I shut my Mac down and start, the first time it tries to start fails. I have FileVault enabled, so I enter my password, the grey screen appears, the wheel under the Apple logo starts spinning and after a while it just restarts. I enter my password again and it boots just fine.
But only the second time.
I tried verbose boot to see what's going on, but I don't really understand much of what it says. I took some pictures, I don't know if there's a startup log somewhere.
http://cl.ly/3J103V1q112h1L1Q3n3K
http://cl.ly/2n0Y3B1e0P382k1r3W2q
I just don't understand it, because the second time it always boots with no problem, but the first time the above happens. I unfortunately can't take it to a genius bar as there is no Apple Store in Brazil and my Portuguese isn't good enough to explain that to someone.

Virtualbox winxpguest fails to boot second time

I wanted to build a winxp sp2 vm on my arch acer revo, but I don't have a cdrom there.
I have VirtualBox installed on another machine which does have a cdrom and have built a machine there. Both machines are running Arch Linux latest with
kernel 3.12.1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Nov 21 08:18:42 CET 2013 x86_64 GNU/Linux
and the following vbox packages installed
virtualbox 4.3.2-1
virtualbox-ext-oracle 4.3.2-1
virtualbox-guest-iso 4.3.2-1
virtualbox-host-modules 4.3.2-4
and the running user is in the vboxusers group.
On the build machine everything runs fine for multiple boots etc etc.
However, when I transfer the vm to the revo I find that winxp will boot just once. It doesn't seem to matter whether I just rsync across or use virtualbox export/import.
On the build machine I made sure that the VTx/AMD stuff is off (that option is not available on the revo), but clearly there's some residual issue.
I see this in the VBox log for the failing case

Googling doesn't seem to reveal a suitable fix that works.
Edit: I find that after a reboot of the host machine that the winxp guest will boot properly at least once, but after one or two reboots the guest again starts hanging.
Edit: The VM is not the issue, nor its source. I built a new VM with an arch linux iso on the REVO and that too will only boot after a host restart.

Thanks for your suggestions. Just to clarify what is happening and what I have done so far.
Every time the Satellite C660 notebook is turned on when it has been sitting turned off for more than an hour it will not boot.
Power on goes like this
The Toshiba splash screen comes up
The blinking cursor on the top left appears then disappears
The screen goes blank (noticeably on still, but blank)
No matter how long it is left it stays at this screen
The above has happens so
I press and hold the power button to turn it off
Press to turn the notebook back on - one out of three times it states the system failed to start - offering boot to safe mode or turn on normally
Pressing boot normally the computer will boot successfully
The Satellite C660 will run perfectly with no errors, failures or crashes
Reboot the Satellite C660 it will restart and boot correctly
Turn the notebook off and leave it for an hour and it will not boot.
I have scanned the original HDD and it has no errors or issues
I have performed a full system reinstall using manufacturers HDD recovery.
I have performed a full system reinstall from DVD recovery.
I have performed a full system reinstall from DVD on to a brand new hard drive recovery.
I have tested the brand new HDD no errors
I have replaced the RAM memory
There are no errors shown in system logs
I have set the BIOS to defaults
I have set the boot order to boot from HDD first
I have not been able to update the BIOS as when the Toshiba update or manual download and attempt to update the BIOS fails.
On a restart the computer boots as normal
When booting for the first time of the day or if the computer is off for an hour or more it will not boot into Windows

Select Query taking long time to run second time

Hi All,
I have Oracle 11gR1 in windows server 2008 R2 .
I have some tables with 10 million records . When i run the select query for those tables first time it gives me result in 15 seconds but if i am running the same script second time from the same session I am getting the result in 15 minutes to complete ..
Why it is happening? What may be the solution for this ?

I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse! Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing.

I have continuous problems with my iPad Mini, and it is getting worse! Newstand application keep pausing or crashing, websites keep hanging first time in but then open fine the second time, and I have problems with applictions crashing. Has anyone experienced similar problems and any suggestions?

Has the device always behaved this way? Did this start as a result of an update to the iOS software? If the problem is that bad, you should probably restore the iOS software and then restore from a backup. If that fails, restore as new and rebuild the device. If that fails, it's time for a trip to an Apple Store to let them have a look at the iPad.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

First time update windows 8 is fine after second time i get failure message to configuring

my tablet pc is ativ smart pc pro. first time I wanted to updat my tablet bios it stuck and i turn it off after that i reinstall windows everything was fine first time i update my windows and its done but for second time it shows me that " failure
update configuring, reverting changes" I dont know what to do. I restore my system to first day but again give me same error. last time i just restore windows and didnt install any program and start to update again i get same problem.

Hi,
For your problem, firstly, I would like to suggest you contact Samsung to verify whether the BIOS upgrade would effect system ，
Secondly, if updates configuration failed, can you access into system? if so, please check which updates configure failed.
Thirdly, you can check WindowsUpdates log and CBS log to find the reason of this problem. if you had difficult to analyze these log, you can provide them to us.

You are setting the CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource in multiple sections of code on this page. I'm not quite sure what you are attempting to accomplish here? In my opinion, your ConfigureCrystalReports() should accept a report filename, or something similar. Then use that info to load the report and throw it into Session. Then the last line of ConfigureCrystalReports can set the ReportSource.
If you can tell us what you are trying to do we might be able to give you some advice. But at this point I'd just say start over on this page.

FTP Adapter fails first time when bpel process is invoked from concurrent

Hi,
We noticed that the invoke of the FTP adapter fails the first time when the bpel process is invoked from a concurrent program. The second time the concurrent is ran, it completes fine. However, when invoked from the console, it compeltes fine the first time itlsef.
Any idea what could be worng. We are on SOA Suite 10.1.3.4
Thanks
-Prapoorna

What you are doing with FTP adapter? Are you writing a file ? Any error details in logs when it is failing on first invocation ?

Wlconfig with custom role mapper always fails FIRST time only

WLS 8.1 sp2.
I have a very strange problem, where I'm "coldstarting" a server and
configuring it, much like the ant build script for medrec. Only I have a
custom role mapper (medrec has a custom authentication provider). Anyway,
the first time I execute this task (after a clean), it consistently fails
like so:
[wlconfig] OK
[wlconfig] OK
BUILD FAILED
file:P:/dgs/build.xml:186: Unable to create mbean:
weblogic.management.MBeanCreationException: - with nested exception:
[java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
weblogic.management.configuration.com.combinenet.security.CNRoleMapperProvid
erMBean]
(that class looks bogus to me, BTW, as my provider class is
com.combinenet.security.CNRoleMapperProvider)
Now, the SECOND time I execute "coldstart", which runs wlconfig, the server
starts up fine, and my custom role mapper is loaded successfully. So,
obviously I figured something was left around the first time which somehow
helped matters, but the strange thing is that I delete the entire domain
directory before "coldstarting" the server, and I also re-copy the role
mapper provider jar into the mbeantypes directory, so I'm very puzzled. I'm
copying the coldstart task below (and the clean).
Can anyone tell me what's wrong with this task that would make it fail the
first time through after a clean? Is this a bug? And why would it succeed on
all subsequent attempts (without a clean)? I just don't see anything wrong
with what I'm doing.
TIA,
Miles

Package fails first time after changes

Hi,
I have a package that I am making changes to. I'm running the package via the SQL Plus Worksheet. After making the changes to the package and recompiling, I try to execute the program from SQL Plus Worksheet and get this error message:
BEGIN xml_import_export_package2_NED.start_transfer(:v_error_no, :v_error_message,:v_error_procedure); END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded
ORA-04061: existing state of package "AVENTISDM.XML_IMPORT_EXPORT_PACKAGE2_NED" has been invalidated
ORA-04065: not executed, altered or dropped package "AVENTISDM.XML_IMPORT_EXPORT_PACKAGE2_NED"
ORA-06508: PL/SQL: could not find program unit being called
ORA-06512: at line 1
The package does not run. However, when I execute it again it works fine. I'm now concerned that if I make a change to a package during the day, that is scheduled to run at night, that it will fail unless I run it once first.
Is this behaviour by design?
Regards,
Ned

This behaviour is by design, but it should not be a problem for your scheduled job.
When you run the package in sqlplus, the package is loaded into SGA, and a pointer to this area is in your PGA. When you re-compile the package, the copy in SGA is invalidated. When you then try to re-run the package, the invalid pointer causes the error. Running it the second time causes a re-load of the package and the re-creation of the pointer. However, a new session (which your scheduled job would have) would not have the invalid pointer, so would work correctly.

My new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.

my new macbook pro is giving me hardtime. even apple team is not being to solve it. they replace the motherboard first it didn't work. second time they formatted the computer and that also didn't work. every time my mac showing different problems.
At first my computer had issues. Once it go to sleep it will not back again. I dropped my laptop at apple store to fix it. After 10 days they returned my laptop saying they were no able to fix the problem so they replaced motherboard aiming if that might help. Acttually that didn't help.I had same issue again. I visited apple store again. This time they said they could fix, if I will allow them to format the harddrive. I said ok. They formatted it. It was working fine for few daysAfter few days compter is taking.even more than 15 min to shutdown. Now computer has another problem. It is being hang frequently like every 20'to.30 min.
I don't know what to do? I still have one month left on first year warranty. I have requested couple times to apple associates either to fix or replace or refund. They are showing me rude behavior. They are not understanding my situation. I am a student. I need to do lot of home work. Since last three month my mac book and apple associates giving me hard time. Any suggestions are welcome.

Contact Apple Customer Care - not Apple Care - Customer Support. Have your receipts handy and/or case numbers. Be patient, be calm, and tell your story just as you have here. I get the sense you are not in the US and don't have access to an Apple Store but are going to an independent shop. This makes using Customer Support all the more important. If phoning isn't viable, use registered mail.
Since time is running short, be prepared to purchase AppleCare to exennd your warranty 2 more years. Yes, you shouldn't have to do this, but it gives you added protection and more opportunities over the next 2 years to claim a replacement computer if you don't get one immediately. After dealing with a similar unhappy situation with a Mac in the late 1990s I finally got a replacement computer and reimbursed for the AppleCare policy.

First Java Web Start download doesn't update, second time does

I'm using Java Web Start with our application. This release we upgraded to java 1.5 from 1.4. Now I have a few PCs, not all, that do not get updates the first time they launch the application. But when the launch it the second time they get the download. The jnlp didn't change between releases? Any suggestions? I'm not using lazy loads, in fact I'm using the default which should be eager.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have similar situation. At the machine is installed Java 1.6 u1. Setup first version of application. After deploy second version of application and run application start update, but console show that application use old packages. At the same time main package is uploaded? I'd try to use <update check="always"?> but there are no positive result.
At the same time then installed Java 1.6 u2, all works fine.
Any suggestion, how it could be resolved, without Java 1.6 u2 installation?

Edge animate animation does not start the first time I load the page. But does the second time.

Hi all,
I am having trouble with an edge animation on a web page. It doesn't load the first time the page is loaded, but loads fine the second time or any time after that. To test I am clearing my cache, then reloading the page. It seams to work in IE the first time but not Firefox or chrome.
I have a temporary copy of the page here ... http://emiwip.com/monique-mathieu/landing-page-wip.html
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Thanks.
Dan

I found the answer here ... Publishing no longer works in latest Edge
It appears that you need to load the latest jQuery in the head of the pag. That fixes it.

Impromptu slideshow always fails second time?

Hey,
Well, the subject says it all. Impromptu slideshow always fails second time. I press
the menu item and nothing happens (I have photos selected). It works great when
I quit LR4 and then restart and select the photos again, but only first time...bug?
Otherwise, happy user so far.
Cheers,
Kasper

Yep. I see exactly that too, just pushing the triangular button in the Develop toolbar.

EP 7 login fails first time!

Hi,
One of the user during loggin to the portal (EP7) fails for the first time saying "User authentication fails", when he re-enters password second time portal accepts it and logs him successfully. Anyone have resolution for this issue or where to look for information to resolve it?
Thanks
Praveen
PS: This only happens for one particular user some of other users do not have this issue.

Praveen,
1. Check where your UME is being pointed to.
2. Check for the same user in a different machine.
3. Check other users in the machine, which have had this issue.
4. If its only for one user, you can probably try creating a new user by copying it from the any of the users who dont face this issue.
Good Luck!

C++ Call to DLL made in LabVIEW Fails the second time it is called

I have an application where a C++ executive calls a LabVIEW DLL (a LabVIEW application built into a DLL).
The executive calls and operates the DLL fine the first time (NT, the applications task manager shows LabVIEW runtime runs, then stops when the DLL is done. However, when the executive calls the DLL a second time, it hangs, and the runtime engine never shows up in the applications task manager as running.
However, this only occurs when something like IMAQ, DAQ, or another custom DLL call is occurring. We tried it with a simple DLL that only uses a call to the sound VIs, and it seems to run fine, although as the program called is very short, and the task manager slow, we never see the runtime engin
e in the task manager. We are going to put a popup dialog in to ensure that the DLL is being called reliably, but we believe it is.
We are unable to answer why when we call something that uses IMAQ, that the DLL doesn't run right the second time. We are unsure of the reasons, but believe it to be related to thread creation and destruction in the executive.
If anyone out there has any insight into this, we would be happy to see it.
We will be putting in a formal request for support from NI, but wanted to poll the audience as well, as we know from first hand experience that LabVIEW users often times have more experience with this sort of thing than developers.
Thanks a bunch

I often answer emails from home, but I work for NI on the LV development
team. So anything I know about, NI knows about. The info I was
describing about the DLL execution system is not well documented since
we were hoping that it would work we
ll with the way Windows Apps are
typically written. I suspect that we will need to write a Tech Note
to cover the nitty gritty. This sort of info gets lost in manuals,
and it is subject to change as we learn how people are expecting to
use it.
Anyway, my post was to explain why your use of it didn't work.
In general, we believe that LV DLLs are thread savvy, reentrant
VIs can be called from multiple threads simultaneously, execution can
continue in the background after the DLL call has returned, and the UI
is live provided the calling app processes messages in that thread.
If you have other issues or questions, just ask.
