Modify install images: set locale, keymap and timezone

I'd like to change the default locale, keymap and timezone for my multi architecture Arch install stick.
As far as I understand, adding 'locale=xyz keymap=xyz timezone=xyz' to the APPEND-line in syslinux config should work, but the image gets mounted as read-only ufs.
Is there an easy way to do this little modification or do I have to create a complete custom image using archiso?
Thanks,
lynix

Is not possible. If you want to do changes, you need to copy the contents manually and install syslinux as bootloader [#1]
On that point you can change easily syslinux.cfg

Resize image from local drive and upload to server

Hi there
I want to allow the user to chose an image from his local
hard drive.
The image should then be loaded into the Flex 2 application.
There I wanna show him infos about the image e.g. height and
width.
He should then be able to scale/resize the image and upload
it to the server.
I have no idea how to do that :-)
Any thoughts on that?
Thanks in advance
Bernd

Well in short, you need a second language to support that,
e.g. PHP/ASP/CF.
First you'll have to build a GUi in which you can upload the
jpg, putting it to the server using php/asp/cf, then you'll need to
make a call to that image, (importing it into your flex), then
you'll have to set the parameters for the resizing, then you'll
have to call a php/asp/cf script which does te resizing

How to edit images on local drive and then archive to external?

I have a Drobo that I use to archive my permanent lightroom archive and image files. Currently, everything lightroom resides on this external drive. But the Drobo is no where near as fast as my internal hard drive as far as read/write and seek speed. I was wondering if there is a fairly easy way for me to work with my most recent import of images off of my internal hard drive and then "move" the images to the drobo once my post-processing is complete. I'm thinking storing the catalog on my internal drive would make sense as well and then use lightroom's built in catalog backup feature to backup the catalog file to the external drive. Any suggestions for those of you out there using Drobos or other large external storage devices on some type of "best practice" would be great. I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere in the forum; I searched but I couldn't find anything.

You can do exactly that, I do it all the times. Import your photos to an internal drive, work on them, and once you're done with the major work, move the photos or folder(s) from within LR to your drobo. LR will keep track of where your photos are if you move them from within LR.
I even sometimes move an image to a tomporary directory on a local drive from my NAS storage before opening it in PSE, since the building of a large TIFF takes forever on my NAS. I then move it back after finishing my work.
... I'm thinking storing the catalog on my internal drive would make sense as well and then use lightroom's built in catalog backup feature to backup the catalog file to the external drive. ...
I think that's a good way of handling it.
Please also be aware of the fact that the most important performance topics are access times to
Catalog
Previews
ACR cache (!!)
Access time to the raw file itself is actually not the most important issue.

OIM 11gR2 - Self Registration Locale and Timezone

Hi,
I would like to prepopulate locale (usr_locale) and timezone (usr_timezone) when a user registers using self registration. I created a PrePopulationAdapter, updated SelfCreateUserDataset.xml in MDS, registered the plugin containing the adapter, restarted OIM, purged cache.. but the adapter is not triggered.
I did the exact same thing for the Role field (which was already using a prepopulation adapter OOTB and I changed the adapter class) and it worked fine.
I'm wondering if those fields (usr_locale and usr_timezone) are not prepopulatable from self registration ?
Is there another way of setting their value automatically (I mean nor the end user, nor the approver filling the field) ?
SelfCreateUserDataset.xml :
<AttributeReference name="Role" attr-ref="Role" type="String" widget="dropdown" length="255" required="true" available-in-bulk="false" lookup-code="Lookup.Users.Role">
<PrePopulationAdapter name="XnetRolePrepopulateAdapter" classname="fr.xxx.XnetRolePrepopulateAdapter"/>
</AttributeReference>
<AttributeReference name="usr_locale" attr-ref="usr_locale" type="String" widget="text" length="80" required="false" available-in-bulk="false">
<PrePopulationAdapter name="XnetLocalePrepopulateAdapter" classname="fr.xxx.XnetLocalePrepopulateAdapter"/>
</AttributeReference>
<AttributeReference name="usr_timezone" attr-ref="usr_timezone" type="String" widget="text" length="100" required="false" available-in-bulk="false" mls="false">
<PrePopulationAdapter name="XnetTimezonePrepopulateAdapter" classname="fr.xxx.XnetTimezonePrepopulateAdapter"/>
</AttributeReference>
Thank you,
Gaël

I think you can but that would definitely require a cutom UI using ADF. Following could be the possibility:
- As the user is not yet logged in, so there would be no way to identify as who the user is (patient or doctor) ?
- So you may have one field with drop-down type patient/doctor at the top, once the user selects that field, you can show different attributes there after
- As how to do it, refer to the OIM11G documentation for customizing UI

How the bootable Arch install images are created?

I'm just wondering how to create the bootable Arch install images, including ISO and IMG files which are in the Arch download mirrors.
Can anyone explain the detailed procedures about it? I just cannot find it in the Wiki.
Thanks a lot.
P.S.:
Is it true that the IMG file was created from the ISO file, as far as Arch install image is concerned? And how to convert between the IMG and ISO files?
Thanks.

Using the archiso tool:
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archiso.git;a=summary
Readme has some more info:
http://projects.archlinux.org/?p=archis … ME;hb=HEAD
Archiso is a small set of bash scripts that is capable of building fully
functional ArchLinux-based liveCDs. It is a very generic tool, so it
could potentially be used to generate anything from rescue systems,
to install disks, to special interest liveCD systems, and who knows what
else. Simply put, if it involves Arch on a shiny coaster, it can do it.

Sales set in Retail and BOM explosion in sales order

Greetings.
I configured a sales set that contains variants of generic articles and also unique articles as follows:
Sales set: distinct code, LUMF - item category group, gets TAQ item categ in SO; it contains:
- Var 1 of article X, distinct code, NORM, gets TAE in SO and mat. nr. and HL item is greyed out in SO
- Var 1 of article Y, distinct code, NORM, gets TAE in SO and mat. nr. and HL item is greyed out in SO
- unique article Z, distinct code, NORM, gets TAE in SO and mat. nr. and HL item are NOT greyed out in SO
as a result changing Z with whatever different article is possible.
Also the individual quantities for the components are editable: I was expecting to be able to modify ONLY the set's quantity and see the components multiply accordingly but iti is not the case.
You can download a picture from [HERE|http://fbx.ro/5j87odrxexs3s7it]
My question is: what settings are needed to have inactive/grayed out quantity, material number and HL item for the components of the sales set and why do I get a different behavior between a unique material compared with a variant ?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
Edited by: Enache Catalin on Jan 21, 2009 4:25 PM - add picture

Thank you for your patience.
The link would have revealed that there is no visible difference between SO's made with ERLA and LUMF header material , in both the user can modify quantities, item category, plant for ALL subitems and measurment unit plus Higher Level Item ONLY for unique items(why? that was my secondary question).
Nevertheless I tried to follow your steps and forth is what I found:
- working in Retail I didn't use CS01 for creating the BOM; instead I defined the structure(mat. codes and quantities) directly in header material (sales set - 10 material category - in my case). I could however open with CS02 the right BOM for my sales set but only if I don't mention the plant.
- further I used CS01 and added the delivering plant this time-> no result, the subitems can still be modified as described above...
I must add that I tried to use for sales set both KMAT and TRGO articles...and it happens the same.
Best regards.
Catalin.

Setting Locale and Hostname on New Installation Fails

Hello,
Tried doing an Arch install on my Acer Aspire One D255 today, but when I try to set the hostname and locale while chroot'ed into /mnt, I get:
Failed to get D-Bus connection: Failed to connect to socket /run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
This occurs when running hostnamectl and localectl as per the Beginners' Guide. I had to set the locale manually in /etc/locale.conf, but I don't know what to do about the hostname, and something seems to indicate there's a more serious issue.
Any idea?

ifaigios wrote:I edited Beginner's Guide yesterday replacing the old method of setting the default locale and the hostname, with localectl and hostnamectl. However, as you discovered, it seems that these commands require DBus to be running to work, so they are of no use in the chroot. Thankfully, thestinger reverted my edits as soon as you found out the problem, so the page contains the correct information again. I am sorry for the inconvenience and for any trouble I caused.
No problem, thanks for helping! However, I think you missed a few 'systemctl' commands. There's three here and one here. I don't know how to fix them, so for now I'll just configure them on reboot.

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

Launch Console fails: the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found.

Hello,
I have created and started a VM image and try to configure this image, but when launching the console I get the error:
"the vnc viewer is not installed on the manager server and no local vnc viewer is found."
I've read the vnc console does not rely on a local version of the vnc client, but uses the java vnc. From the java log I get:
Java Web Start 1.6.0_43
Using JRE version 1.6.0_43-b01 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM
User home directory = C:\Users\kgraaf
28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.RasProxyApplet main
INFO: ServiceType : VNC
28-jun-2013 10:17:04 com.oracle.ovm.ras.proxy.external.ViewerLauncherFactory getViewerLauncher
INFO: Os is : windows 7
It is not clear to me yet what is expected to be running where. My configuration is:
- VM Server 3.1 on Linux host A
- VM Manager 3.1 on Linux host B
- Connected via Windows 7 64-bit client via a browser to the Management Server. Let's call this host C
When launching the console it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:60505 so to localhost and a port#.
- Given this information I would expect it tries to launch the vncviewer from my management server (host B).
- /usr/bin/vncviewer is installed on host B, but this appears not to be used.
- We see java vnc is started on my Windows 7 client (host C) and it tries to connect to 127.0.0.1 (localhost on my Windows client??) and not to the remote management server (host B)!?
Questions:
1 - Can someone explain what exactly is being executed (from where and to which host) when launching the console?
2 - Is this a java version / Windows 7 related configuration issue? How to fix this?
Thanks,
Klaas.

Per Oracle's website - RAN into this a few hours ago...Do it as ROOT on the VM Manager Host
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26996_01/E18548/html/BABFBEIF.html
It is preferred that you install either TightVNC on the Oracle VM Manager host computer. You can get the latest TightVNC package from:
http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/http://oss.oracle.com/oraclevm/manager/RPMS/
Install TightVNC with the command:
# rpm -ivh tightvnc-java-version.noarch.rpm

DISM "you do not have permissions to mount and modify this image"

I have tired to mount a vista and 7 WIM to add a service pack, but I keep getting the error "you do not have permissions to mount and modify this image"
I'm running as administrator I'm running from the waik, I was able to mount with readonly permissions but that not what I need.

Thanks Juboori, this solved the issue for me too.
The odd thing though is that the "Read Only" attribute was NOT ticked in the Right-Click Properties windows but it WAS enabled when checking via a DOS command prompt.
How to check in DOS:
"Attrib Install.wim" (you'll see the 'R' attribute is enabled)
How to disable in DOS
"Attrib Install.wim -R" (Removes the 'Read Only' attribute)

How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull a dynamic image from a URL to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

How can I use wget, cron and Automator to periodically pull an image from a URL (which is dynamically updated - like a weather map, say - to local storage, and then update a Keynote slide with that image, automatically?

Any particular reason for those specific technologies? wget does not exist on a mac, although you can nstall it I guess. OS X has curl installed which should do pretty much anything you want to do with wget. cron is being replaced by launchd, although cron still exists on mountain lion.
As far as I can tell from automator all the standard 'actions' to access keynote available to it require keynote to be open and running, but does not provide a function to actually open it. So I think you will have to write some applescript, as a minimum to open and quit keynote. I notice that the keynote actions are mostly circa 2005 an wonder if they would even work.
Under utilities in automator 'actions' there is a capability to add applescripts as part of the workflow.
Also, note that cron is being dprecated by Apple and replaced by launchd. that said cron is stil on my mountain lion instalation.
This entry at stackoverflow shows use of cron with curl to get web urls. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1683620/getting-started-with-cronjobs-on-a-ma c
If I have any time I may try and get this to work as it is quite interesting and new to me. But otherwise, good luck.

Try this...
Triple click anywhere in the line below to select it and press Ctrl+C to copy it.
cmd /k netsh winsock reset
Press the WinLogoKey+R to open the run dialog, then Ctrl+V to paste, then press enter/return.
You should get something similar to this:
Reboot the computer and the problem should be resolved.
If it doesn't work then perhaps a full tear down and rebuild of iTunes will fix things. See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for details.

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID?

Hi. My husband and I have always shared the same iTunes account. Since installing iCloud, all our contacts and calenders have merged on our iPhone 4, which we do not want. How do I rectify this? Does my husband need to set up his own apple ID? If so, where do I need to change his email address info, so that his calender and contacts remain his? Thank you

You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours. If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for). You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.
