Nasty experience with grub, fstab, and drive names

Hi all
Yesterday I tried to install Arch on one of my PCs.
After installing the base system and rebooting, grub complaint he couldn't find the proper partition/filesystem, etc. OK, this was something I had encountered in the past, so I started changing the drive assignment in the grub boot line. After an hour, I gave up and reinstalled thinking that maybe grub wasn't happy sitting in the same ext4 partition with /. So I created a separate ext3 /boot partition but I was still having problems. This time, however, after finding the correct drive assignment in the grub boot line, the kernel was loading and then I was greeted with a message saying that my / partition was probably not a valid filesystem, etc, etc. My first thought was to start changing the drive assignment in the kernel line, but this didn't help. Instead, kernel now couldn't boot at all, which means that the UUID in the kernel line was correct and the problem was occurring afterwards. After much thought, I loaded the / filesystem in read/write (according to the error message immediately after the kernel was loaded) and started examining the devices in /dev. To my huge surprise, after every reboot, the drive names (sda, sdb1, sdb2, etc) were different This meant that all my attempts at changing the entries in fstab were unsuccessful.
Fortunately, I was aware of the blkid command so I modified the fstab file and added the UUIDs instead of the drive names, which finally worked. Still to my surprise, when I log in to my desktop, the drive names are always different. My PC has a raid-0 configuration with 2 120GB sata drives and Windows XP, a 320 GB IDE drive with 2 partitions, and a Raptor WD 74GB which is devoted to Arch. The only thing that comes to my mind is the Plug n' Play option in the BIOS, which is set to NO, meaning that system resources are assigned by my motherboard and not by the OS.
If anyone has a clue why the drive names are different after every boot, I would be glad to hear.

/dev/hda1 etc is linux kernel without devfs
ArchLinux uses devfs so the above becomes /dev/discs/disc0/part1
(hd0,0) = /dev/hda1 = /dev/discs/dics0/part1
(hd0,1) = /dev/hda2 = /dev/discs/disc0/part2
(hd0,4) = /dev/hda5 = /dev/discs/dics0/part5
(hd0,5) = /dev/hda6 = /dev/discs/dics0/part6

Any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?

Hi,
In my company I work with java developers who believe in some kind of "holly" database independence I don't understand and as a result my life as a database developer is hell on earth.. Yesterday we again started to discuss, this time where to log, they believe database is slow and prefer logging to filesystem, after some hours finally I could convince them for some operational and reporting needs to use the database and will do this in an asyncronous way whiich they won't get slow. After all I believe the reason for a database is data, this is the place where data lives, and with the correct desing and implementation logging to database would perform better.
I love Oracle features, and know that we paid a lot for this software, so today I started investigating this promised solution. And quickly I found AQ and JMS topics in the documentation :)
After this introduction here is my problem; my company use BEA Weblogic as application server and the java guys want AQ to automatically (but of course with some delay) take their JMS log requests into database tables. Does any one have similar application experience, or any kind of integration experience with Weblogic JMS and Oracle AQ?
Any comments, references, documentation, sample code, url will be most welcomed :)
Thank you very much!

I wouldn't go as far to say Oracle AQ is out-dated today. However, it is indeed a proprietary technology that did not found much main-stream adoption in the earlier years after its introduction. The advent of JMS made it somewhat more useful (or should I say intriguing, because more people are trying to tie it together with other J2EE technologies), but the Oracle's JMS wrapper classes in aqapi.jar were not feature complete for a long while, so using it outside Oracle's application server was painful, if not impossible. I do agree that the info at the dev2dev's JMS newsgroup or in this forum is highly fragmented, as neither Oracle nor BEA provides an official solution to integrate AQ with WebLogic, so people like us have to learn the technology through experimentation and in a piecemeal fashion.
3 years ago I was literally "playing around" - we had a polling mechanism set up to use triggers to write Oracle data changes into an event table, and had a Java-based daemon to scan that table and publish events as JMS messages to the WebLogic JMS server. This continues to work reliably till today, but I was looking for a solution that has few parts - I wanted to hook up my WebLogic MDB directly to AQ as a foreign JMS provider. Although I was able to get it to work (including XA), there were a few hoops I had to jump through, such as decompiling the Oracle AQjms classes to make them bind to the WebLogic JNDI tree.
One year after that Diptanshu Parui took what I did a giant step further - he extended the Oracle AQjms classes to allow them to be bound to the WebLogic JNDI tree naturally, and he figured out how to use WebLogic JMS messging bridge to re-send single-threaded AQ JMS messages to clustered JMS queues, which allow concurrent message assumption by multiple instances of MDB's. My impression is that he is using that setup in a production environment.
I am sure you are aware of it but I would like to make it clear - in order to use AQ as a foreign JMS provider to WebLogic-hosted MDB's, you don't need to update your database to Oracle 10g - Oracle 8i is good enough (although I recommend at least 9i Release 2). It is not the database engine, but rather the aqapi.jar JMS wrapper on top of AQ that matters. I do recommend that you use aqapi.jar from Oracle Application Server 10.0.3 or up for better XA support, among other things. Again, you don't have to replace WebLogic with Oracle AS - you only need a single jar file from it and put it in your WebLogic's classpath. However, I don't know what this means from a licensing point of view if you ever go to production - do you have to pay the full price of OracleAS or OC4J just to use the aqapi.jar?
In the coming days I will test the latest aqapi.jar to see how much progress Oracle has made in terms of making their J2EE products more spec-compliant :-).
Hope the above gives you a different perspective.

Experience with iPod nano and iPod socks?

After discussing with the Apple Helpline about the scratches on my nano, they quickly proposed to send my some iPod socks for free in order to protect the nano (is this like implicitely admitting that something went wrong?).
My question: Does anybody have experience with iPod socks and the nano, i.e. do they scratch the nano as well (as somebody on another forum has posted)?

lol, good one James. + for you.
I remember this same thing with the iPod Mini. That was released in February 2004 and there were a huge number of cases by around April. But the mini was announced in January which ment the third party makers had a whole month to design and make cases.
The ironic thing....people didnt need a case for the mini. Its was scratch resistant to begin with, however the nano is damaged by finger acid!!!
*nathan
PS: James, off topic, but do you use your iPods for different reasons, as im trying to think of ways to justify having three aswell?

Experiences with windows vista and latest FATALITY drive

This post is created? for people to post experiences with windows vista 32 bit and the latest fatality drivers!!?Tks?

I have Fatality FPS edition, and I find that the volume keeps fluxuating in media player?during playback of music?with vista. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

CQ5 with InDesign, Bridge, and Drive

We make lots of catalogs. We use the full CS5 suite currently, and are considering purchasing CQ5 as the repository for the assets and then to move on to the web content management. Some thoughts and questions on how CQ5 might support a print production flow:
All our assets for the catalogs will be in a CQ5 repository.
1) We need to use InDesign's Place command to get assets from the repository into InDesign. Therefore Drive's role in virtualizing the repository is a must have. Our system integrator is telling us to stay away from Drive because Drive 3 is buggy and hasn't been tested thoroughly with CQ5. Well Adobe, no production ready Drive vitrualized repository then no sale. Any thoughts on CQ5 and InDesign working through Drive in high volume, large file size environment?
2) InDesign has a fabulous feature called Live Caption. It's a dynamic text box that shows the File-->Info metadata of any image the text box touches. We incorporate this heavily in our print production workflow. Through XMP we built a custom File-Info palette for images. Then with the Live Caption we can dynamically display that info - image name, item number, styling notes, color. Works great. We'd like to workflow the pages and images and metadata through CQ5, but CQ5 doesn't write metadata back out to the file info, so therefore we would no longer be able to take advantage of InDesign's Live Caption feature. What is involved in getting CQ5 to write select fields of metadata to the file info metadata so we can use it in InDesign Live Caption? What's involved in using Bridge to change the File Info metadata and have that properly update the corresponding metadata in CQ5.
3) We routinely reuse images. For search and reuse capability, the DAM has to automatically record the relationships of images on what pages and what pages have what images. That allows us to search for an InDesign page and see all the images on it, and also search for an image and see all the InDesign pages where it was used. This functionality is completely out of box with other content management systems designed to support print. It's certainly a feature I'd think would be out of box for the Adobe suite, but it isn't in CQ5 or doesn't seem to be. How might this be done?
Very, very disappointing that Adobe CQ5 does not have a better understanding of print production workflows. If it did, then Adobe would have an unbeatable multi-channel story to tell.

Since I put it out there, it's fair that I step up. This is a list of 30 enhancements to the DAM landing page only. And yes, I know what the sales folks would say: "we can do all those things." But, just not interested in paying staff or consultants to customize in order to get what are mostly obvious and expected.
Overall, the interface is a mish mash of buttons, links, folders, grid - it doesn't know what it wants to be. Is the interface supposed to mimic a file system, a web page, a spreadsheet? The schizophrenia creates confusion as end-user can no longer rely on their past experiences working on a common interface. Pick an interface metaphor and own it completely. (Rebuid it in Flex.)
Implementation of functionality is so incomplete. It clearly was put together foremost to meet a checklist for the sales team and not to be great software. Search – check; Thumbnails – check; Copy and Paste – check and check. But, the incomplete implementation of every one of those is downright demoralizing. When functionality is added – please make it complete and great.
The buttons across the top for Home, Websites, DAM, Campaigns, etc. should be selections in the left nav similar to the way Outlook lets you select Mail, Calendar, Contacts, Notes, etc. This would free up important real estate and move some elements that are selected maybe once or twice during a session.
The menu choices at the top New, Copy, Paste etc. are implemented like links, but the should really be built with standardized menus and selections. File->New, Edit->Copy, etc. This would be intuitive to end users and facilitate easy growth and organization as new commands are added.
The menu choices should be context aware and toggle when applicable - Activate Deactivate and Copy Paste for instance.
The search box on the right needs significant enhancing. (I do see how it may be more effective when searching in Websites, but in DAM it is woefully incomplete.) A couple of quick ones: need better indication of what location you're searching – current folder or whole repository; need options for searching content or file names; results list is too small; need ability to switch to advanced. It's probably all configurable but with a little thought it could have been great out of box.
EVERY file of any type that's in the repository should get a gorgeous scalable thumbnail automatically. Adobe owns Scene7 and Acrobat - of course this can be done. For me, sadly, for thumbnails to be so incomplete reveals a lot about the strategy and priorities of the folks making the software. See #2 above.
Should have a View menu that lets you select from multiple out of the box views, including:
The Standard view, which should have a slider to control the size of the thumbnails.
A Thumbnail view also with a slider to control size.
A cool Carousel view.
A plain List view, which doesn't have thumbnails.
The List view should have a feature where when you rollover you get a thumb preview.
The columns don't size in a common intuitive way. Sizing one column shouldn't alter the size of the other columns.
Should be able to create columns in the list views of a metadata attribute.
Should have a small drop down arrow for all items that displays a pop-up of the details info. This would save a lot of clicks opening to view the details, closing, and then trying again.
Needs a Cut command (which would fall with Copy, Paste, and Move under an Edit menu). Cut and Paste would in some cases be easier and more intuitive than using the full Move dialog.
Needs a Rename command (which woud also fall under an Edit menu). Using the Move command for a rename is not ideal.
Could use a Duplicate command (or the Move dialog could have a check box in it for Duplicate).
Should show at the bottom of the window the number of items in the window being browsed.
Should show user info and role somewhere.
Should have an option at the bottom for viewing all on one page.
Should have a drop down for selecting how many to view on a page i.e.16, 50, 100, all.
Should be able to have saved searches appear as Smart Folders in the left nav.
Default Smart Folders for left nav should include most recent, checked out, in workflow, to do.
Need to be able to launch any asset into its native app for editing (in combination with Adobe Drive installed).
Tools dropdown should have a choice for Audit, which shows the file's complete history including:modification history, number of times downloaded, by who, workflow steps, etc.
Ability to select an asset (or multiple), and click an email link to send it as an attachment.
Ability to have Favorite folders in the left nav. Would allow you to jump around without navigating the tree.
Would be cool to have folders in the left nav that map to folders outside of the repository. You could create some really neat import and export functionality for the DAM.
There are more, and thanks for the time.

Problems with Grub, Dualbooting, and a software raid

Been searching through google and any forums i could find regarding a possible fix and can not find anything that works.
I have 2 Hard drives, First one is windows, second one is Archlinux. They are setup through a software raid and i can not get grub to see them.
The error i Get is
Step 1.5 complete
Loading Grub Please Wait..
Error 21
I've used the supergrub disk to no avail. (i had to load that onto a usb drive due to it not working on my usb cd drive)
my setup is SDA = windows drive
SDB = Archlinux
sdb1 = / (100gb)
sdb2 = /home (190gb)
sdb3 = swap (6gb)
I've checked (and will post when i get back on other computer to try again) the menu.lst,
last time i checked that it looked to me like the sdb0 and sdb1 were not in there
so i added them, pretty sure it at least needed sdb1
(found it was on sdb1 by loading a live linux and using grub>find /boot/grub/stage1 to verify)
i've tried changing the settings of my raid in the bios, i have 3 options, Disabled (at which point i don't get any grub error messages just a non system disk error)
Raid - not how i normally run but tried it, no change (still error 21)
and IDE - how it normally runs, unsuccessfully
I'd really appreciate some help on this and thank you.

Any experience with Illustrator CS2 and MBP?

Hi Everyone!
I read a lot about the performance of Photoshop CS2 with Rosetta, but I would like to know how the Illustrator CS2 works with the new MacBook Pro.
Thanks for your comments!
Gus

I work in prepress at a commercial printer. I have been testing out my MBP 1.8GHz with all CS1 and CS2 apps as well as Quark Xpress 6.5. I also only have 1GB of ram at the moment (second 1GB will arrive today). Anyway all the apps run slower than on my G5 Dual 1.8GHz. That may be due to the slower hard drive speed and lower amount of ram. Most apps take a little longer to launch, but once up and running perform just fine. Acrobat 6 and ID CS2 take the longest to launch. I haven't had any crashes or kernal panics with any of the apps. Quark also works well. Still a bit slow, but very fuctional once up and running. Also Citrix for Mac works as does ApogeeX client 1.27. Overall I have had a better experience with this machine than DC 2.0 GHZ G5. I had kernal panics from the beginning the MBP has had no problems so far. If you need to use a MBP fro serious design or prepress upgrade as much as possible. ie 7200RPM drive and 2GB of ram.

Experience with Iomega 250GB Ext Drive & Lacie PCMCIA to Firewire 800?

Hi!
I bought an Iomega 250GB Ext. Hard Drive and I'm contemplating buying a Lacie PCMCIA to Firewire 800 PC card for my PowerBook G4 (the G4 is older and does not have built in Firewire 800 capability.) Has anyone had experience with this configuration? I'd like to know if there have been any problems trying to go with this configuration before I buy the Lacie card. If there are problems with this set-up then my best choice it appears would be to use the Firewire 400 port on the laptop and on the ext. drive. (There is also USB 1.1/2.0 capability.) Anyone with experience in this area please advise.
Thank you!
tenntooter

Hi t,
I haven't had experience with this setup, but ran across this test sometime ago. They tested the LaCie card you're looking at with a Ti 800MHz with no issues.
(There is also USB 1.1/2.0 capability.)
Take my word for it, you don't want to use USB1 (major slow) and to use USB2, you'd need to buy a PCMCIA card to USB2 adapter anyway. Even then, in real-world transfers, FW400 is faster than USB2, so if your FW port is working, there's no reason to go the USB2 route.

Experience with profiling products and tools

Hi,
I'd like to get a good tools for profiling an application
running under WebLogic 6.0 on Win 2000. So far searching the
web, I found Borland Optimizeit and Sitraka jprobe. I once
downloaded an evaluation copy of jprobe but I didn't have
sufficient time to really learn how to use it before the license
expired. I fiddled around a little with the the Java built-in
HPROF and a couple of tools to visualize the data. Specifically
HAT and PerfAnal. They both seem buggy and I was only able to
get PerfAnal to work on a simple application. Examining the data
file output from HPROF seems to provide limited or hard to read
information.
If you have experience with a tool that you like, I would very
much like to hear from you. Thanks in advance for your opinions
and insites.

There are two levels that I'm used to seeing:
Code Profiling (lower level) -
JVM
jProbe
optimizit
etc.
Performance Management (higher level) -
Precise Indepth
Wily Introscope
Sitraka ??? (new product I can't remember the name)

New Customer - Have had MISERABLE experience with Verizon service and Customer service

I am a brand new customer of Verizon Fios and so far I have zero good things to say about it. If it wasn't for the aggrevation of switching cable companies, I most definitely would go back to Comcast.
I moved into a new home in the middle of April. The previous owner had Verizon Fios in this house, so there was minimal installation that had to be done when I initially set up my cable. My house was pretty much empty at the time, so we had the TV's set up where we had a place to put it (upstairs, kitchen, and living room). We recently bought bedroom furniture, so we could now move the TV to where we initially wanted it, in our bedroom. However when we tried to hook it up to an outlet, no picture came though. This is when my awful experience with verizon customer service (or lack there of) began.
I took time out of my work day to call Verizon about this problem. I was on hold for about 30 mins until I actually heard a human's voice. He was unable to help me since I was not at home to unplug and plug things back in.
I called again when I was home, this time I was on hold for about 20 mins (wow)... the first person could not help me, so she transferred me to another department... put on hold for 35 mins.... this perosn couldnt help me either and they transferred me back to the SAME DEPARTMENT I WAS INITIALLY TRANSFERRED FROM.... put on hold for about 45 mins... finally i speak with someone that knows what they are talking about. Of course I have to go through all the same steps that I did the first time which did not work. As this person decides I need a technician, he begins to look up available dates... and then after an hour and 35 mins on the phone, it gets disconnected! I wait for 5 minutes to get a call back but I get NOTHING. I spent now 2 hours trying to deal with this and verizon doesnt even call me back when its their phone that gets disconnected? Thats terrible.
I call back after 10 mins and am put on hold right away (obviously).... after 25 mins of being on hold, shocker - the call is disconnected again.
That was enough for one day
I call back again the next day... same old thing... put on hold for 30 mins, talk to one person who cant help me, transferred to another department and put on hold for 20 more mins.
Finally with the tech department who says they are going to schedule a tech to come out to fix the problem but also mentioned they are going to charge me $55 for this! Are you kidding me?????? Verizon wastes about 4 hours of my life and busy day and then has the nerve to say they are going to charge me for it? I asked the person several times if I could speak with a manager or supervisor, they never let me. I asked multiple times and she just said that they wouldnt be able to help me and that the charge would stick.
I can't imagine that anyone would treat a brand new customer like this. I will not recommend Verizon to any one until I see some kind of help or REAL customer service from them.

I did call them this morning, and still on the phone.
I will say this - the reps are very friendly and do try to help in earnest. That's been my experience overall with Verizon. So in terms of the actual people, I give them an A+.
In terms of their system and how they process things, they get a big fat F. The very idea that I sent back a phone with accessories and their warehouse only registered the return of the phone pretty much says that there is something fishy going on there at the warehouse. And it took an hour to sort this out so far and counting.
The thing that bugs me about Verizon is how complicated it is to get everything straightened out.
Right now, they are trying to sort out the activation fee - I already have been charged one and now they are trying to figure out if i have to pay another one. Another 15 minutes just on that.
Everything has been resolved. Thankfully, Verizon's saving grace is that their reps are nice people.

Experience with Solaris 10 and 11 on Oracle VM 3.0.3?

Greetings,
We are trying to confirm with "first hand experience" how/if Oracle VM 3.0.3 supports Solaris 10 and 11 x86. For example, a) does OVM support Solaris as advertised? b) if yes, are there caveats excluding the HVM limitations? c) have you been able to use the Solaris Templates?
Thank you,
Roddy

I ran into the same problem. Tried manually create software raid using the shell (ctrl F2 or F4), but it keeps shutting down the software raid and anaconda would die.
Then I tried to use single disk but with logical volume (also set up manually from the shell). But after the installation, the system would not boot. Looking at the init script content in the initrd, I don't think it supports lvm.
So I went back to square one, using the one disk with no lvm, but customized partition size. Will use raidder to build a raid 1 after this.
Base on this experience installing the server, and also the VM Manager, I think Oracle VM is seriously going downhill. I can't believe how they would hire anyone that writes such poor quality installation scripts and package. Try mounting the VM Manager ISO under /tmp/mnt and install from there and you will see what I mean.

Experiences with Nikon D750 and Aperture

Hi,
a few weeks ago I bought a Nikon D750 – my camera before was a Nikon D700.
All in all I am disappointed about the quality of my photos with the D750 in Aperture – they’re all 14bit RAWs without compression. The problems e. g. are:
- Photos shot with the D750 at low light conditions at home are too much colour saturated - especially there’s too much red in it.
- Contrast is much too high.
- Dark areas are often black without details.
I looked at many of these photos in Adobe’s Lightroom. The RAW intepretation seems a bit better (especially regarding contrast and dark areas) but has other problems (e. g. with skin tones).
I made a few comparision photos with my D750 and the D700. All in all the D700 makes a much better job in home light conditions. You can see more details in the photos, colour saturation and contrast are better.
Can anyone confirm these problems? At the moment I am not sure if it is a problem of the D750 (which is reviewed everywhere so excellent!) or of the CameraRAW interpretation of Apple. Will future Camera RAW updates mabye have better interpretations?
Regards, Ulf

To illustrate, what I mean: I shot today a photo (nothing special) with my lensbaby fisheye lens in low light.
That’s the way the photo looks like in Aperture 3.6 (I tried to improve it a bit):
In Apertue the photo has to much contrast. But reducing it makes the photo ugly. You can also see that dark parts of the photo (not the black) tend to be brown and the transition between black and brown looks terrible.
The Same photo processed and also a bit improved with Lightroom 5.7 looks a lot better:
You can see a lot more details - details you can never get with Aperture.
In my opinion Apple’s camera raw for the Nikon D750 makes a very bad job. A lot of my photos can not good be processed in Aperture.
Does anyone with the D750 make same experiences?

Hi AnneCarmen,
Check this small video, http://project02.businesscatalyst.com/Jing/2012-07-13_0508.swf
This is just an example where I am trying to demonstrate how the html embedded into the frame sticks to only one image and not to all the other images. Also, how to keep the thumbnails. Under menu options you can modify the transition and speed option as per your need.

Experience with "Auto-Complete and Go-Less Prompts"

Hi all,
does anyone have experiences with editing instanceconfig.xml for auto-completing prompts?
Is it buggy? Or are there any kinds of risks?

Please have a look at page 10, it describes how to edit the xml
Thanks

Hi Frank,
I understand the single matching value and expecting move out in single tab for perfect match only. inputComboboxListOfValues selects the entry in one tab [even for single matching value] and user has to press another tab to go to next attribute.
Are you suggesting that it actually moves out to next field in single tab for "single matching value"?
Thanks,
Jai
