Nasty looking problem on arch64

Hi,
I've been recieving the following message over and over in my messages file since last night;
Sep 13 11:12:04 cumberdale ata4: EH complete
After first recieving it I restarted my machine and found that the slash partition was totally corrupted. I've rebuilt now and the error has just reappeared, has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
Barry

so you've reinstalled and your still getting the error, is that your point? If that's the case then it surely isn't an arch64 error, much more like a hwd failure.
your not really making to much sense to me. Maybe you could explain your problem a little more in detail? Like where the error is being reported, slash partition? what about it? what fs type is it using? etc...
Sorry, just woke up. Never make too much sense in the morning
Last night after noticing the error and rebooting, my ext3 filesystem on the partition that holds / everything was corrupted, I could run some binaries but others couldn't be found. (My /home & /boot are on different partitions and they are fine). One thing I noticed was that on my fallback kernel everything worked perfectly.
The error is being reported in /var/log/messages.log and apart from that error I haven't found anything else relating to it except that my machine isn't performing as well as it usually does. I'm afraid to reboot just now as I suspect things will go haywire again.

Nasty highlights problem in Lightroom

I've been a die-hard Nikon Capture user for some time but am trying out LR. On the whole I really like it and would buy it as it is likely to save me a load of time post-processing big event shoots.
However this evening I've found a really quite nasty problem with highlight detail that is now seriously putting me off the product.
OK, take a look at this picture. This is straight out of my D200 with no processing applied in Nikon Capture 4:
http://www.robgillespiephoto.co.uk/piccies/fire_nc1.jpg
This second example is the same NEF file but fed through Lightroom - all values defaulted:
http://www.robgillespiephoto.co.uk/piccies/fire_lr1.jpg
Notice how bad the flames look?
OK, this one has been run through Lightroom but with the highlight recovery setting maxed out to 100:
http://www.robgillespiephoto.co.uk/piccies/fire_lr2.jpg
But wait, look at this 100% crop from the same processed version - notice the odd red pixels that look a bit like paint has been daubed on the photo:
http://www.robgillespiephoto.co.uk/piccies/fire_lr3-crop.jpg
I've tried playing with both Exposure and Recovery settings and this is as good as I can get it. I'm really disappointed that LR is not able to process this highlight detail sufficiently.

What is the color temp you have natively there, and what is set in LR?
You could post the RAW file for folks to take a crack at converting it to your taste. The only other one today was too cold <2000k to be properly processed. ?Er, don't think that's the problem here....

Quick Look Problem ?

I was just wondering why when I use QuickLook with 2 monitors, anything I QuickLook, picture/Music/Video etc.. always goes over to my other Screen I have hooked up to my iMac ? I want to quick Look it on the main screen (iMac Screen) not have to turn on the Other monitor every time I want to quick Look something. I think it's rather annoying having to turn that other monitor on all the time to view what I want, or drag it over to my main iMac screen to see. Now if I unplug the Other monitor it's just fine. Only when I have another monitor plugged in it does this.
I looked up and down in the System Prefs to figure this out, and found Nothing. It's either a bad part on apples side, or there is something I"m missing.

I had that same problem and I believe that I just "Quick Looked" a jpeg which opened on my other monitor (the wrong one) and while it was open moved the window to my main monitor. Once I did that I closed the quick look window and then reopened the same file using quick look again and I found it then opened on my main monitor.
If this works then be carful about closing a quick look window. Make sure to close it on the monitor you want quick look to open on.

Nasty Computer Problem I Cannot Solve!

I have got a nasty problem going on with my computer that I cannot solve. I work from home, but I worked for Microsoft 10 years ago. I am a techy person and am very security conscious but this problem has me completely stumped.
I have reformatted my computer at least 6 times, if not more, and done complete re-installs. I have used software that deletes all partitions and overwrites every single byte on the hard drive with 1s and 0s, I have wiped the drive including the master boot
record, I have purchased a new router and I log in as a user vs. an administrator but this problem keeps coming back with a vengeance.
I have used several virus checkers. It does not seem to be a virus or a rootkit. It turns off the firewall, opens ports, and turns my life upside down.
No matter what I have done thus far, this problem keeps finding me. It locks down security policies and ultimately turns me into a user and the last time I tried to block it, I lost all admin privileges, they are completely taken away.
This problem is something I have been struggling with for months and with everything I have tried and the investigating I have done; I have determined that my computer thinks it is a work station reporting to a windows server version 8 or 12. It is obeying
the server and overriding the simple settings that you can do in the control panel through the security policies. This person/problem has more authority than I do, it can override everything I do.
When I turn off settings such as do not allow remote connections, it doesn’t work.
Are there services or settings I can disable or turn off to stop my computer from turning into a controlled work station and not allow this to happen? I want this turned back into my little home computer and completely password protected.
I appreciate any help or solutions you may be able to give me.
Thank you.

Hi,
As Lewis mentioned before, what is shown up under control panel\system, computer name, domain and workgroup settings?
If this is connected to a domain, we can run gpresult /r or rsop to check the group policy applied to the machine.
but according to your description, I guess this machine should be a standalone workstation, so it is not controlled by any DC\servers. Since you've tried to reinstall the system for multi times, and the issue persists, so I'd like to know the installation
media or image you used to install the system. If the media or image contains some third party program or additional settings, then that might explain why the system behaves abnormal, so maybe we can try another installation disk.
Regarding to the badbios virus, I did some research on the internet, if we got a issue like this, it's recommended to reset the bios or update to the latest version of the BIOS. Personally, I recommended you contact PC vender or send the pc to a vender
shop and see if they have any ideas.

Nasty Permissions Problem

I uploaded some files from my old iMac (running 10.5.x) to my NAS, and placed them in a folder with files from an account on my MacBook Pro (an account which no longer exists).
Somehow, permissions were changed to "no access" for the group "everyone," making it impossible read or write to the folder.
I've done a fair amount of researching, and I have a general idea of how to fix this (namely, changing my current UID&GID).
Could someone point me in the direction of a relevant tutorial or attempt to walk me through this?

Good Evening, TheNoel,
Simply try (with guaranteed success) BatChmod by Renaud Boisjoly
(a frog eater like me),
or FileXaminer by (I don't remember,
it's said on BatChmod site).
These softwares solve ANY privileges and permissions issues,
and *even more*, but *be careful*.
They both are free, but you should give them $10,
as I did myself, when I solved my *Disks Locked* problem
(have a look by searching "disks locked" in discussions.apple).
If you want something more expensive (is it reassuring ?),
MacPilot (Koingo), *TinkerTool System* (Marcel Brezinc)
and other softwares (I can tell you the names) have dedicated sections
to solve these ennoying authorizations issues.
There's absolutely *no need* to go into Terminal.
I hope having helped you ?
Best regards,
Vialatte

Nasty (PC) problem

This may not be the right place... but I'd appreciate any help.
I have an iMac running off a Netgear DG834G router, my wife has a PC on wireless from the same source.
Her PC has just frozen, no way could it be restarted so I turned power off and on again to get only a single flat intermittent repeating audio tone with a dead screen. Tried it over and over with same result.
My iMac is fine on and offline and the router settings look OK (and I have 'remote access' permanently disabled).
It's obviously a PC thing, maybe something nasty got through somehow, or it's just gone and failed.
Anyone familiar with the symptoms? Thanks in anticipation, or I'll have to enter the PC world for advice....

Nasty ltfs problem

I'm using LTO5 tapes with ltfs on linux and found a nasty problem.
It happened twice that a tape became read-only after i/o error. At the same time the cleaning led of the tape driver turned on.
With a tape read-only you can still copy all your data from tape to disk and recover everything, however if you unmount the tape, perform the cleaning and try to re-mount the tape you discover that your data is completely lost. You cannot recover it with ltfsck whatever option you may use.
HP should warn about this and probably should change the driver so that you cannot easily unmount a tape that turned read-only in this way.
I think also that ltfsck should be able to address this problem.

KDE 5 auth/look problems

I upgraded to KDE 5 (Plasma 2, KDE Frameworks 5.6, KDE Apps 14.12) and I must say it was a huge error. I completely reget doing it, and I should have learned from the mistake with KDE 4.x.
Anyways, It's already done. Now I'm having quite some problems.
The first one, which is the most important is that KDE auth (or polkit, or I don't know what name it has because apparently KDe guys like changing names every 2 months) isn't working.
I open systemsettings and try to enable the auto-login feature, and then a password dialog shows up, asking for my password. I really don't know if it's asking for my user's password or root's password,
but this really should make any difference as both passwords are the same (please, right now I don't want to hear anything about how bad that is and how unprotected I am. Focus on my problems).
Anyways, after typing my password, the dialog just says that's not the password and doesn't apply the changes. Why is this happening?
The second problem is that all KDE4 apps (Dolphin, for example) look really bad. The Wiki says to check my styles, but hell I did check and recheck them and I can't see how to fix that. How am I supposed to workaround this bug?
Regards

No issues with autologin or authentication on a fresh Plasma 5.2 system here. KDE accepts my normal user password. You could have a look at /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.kde.kcontrol.kcmsddm.policy if there is something wrong with the defaults settings
For the second issue, check my own post from here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1495601

Flash Problems on Arch64 - Searched Everywhere

Ok, ive searched everywhere and cant find a solution. I followed the Wiki Guide for Flash in Arch64. Everything seems to go fine until "nspluginwrapper -v -a -i":

I followed the guide, did everything it said for nspluginwrapper and nspluginwrapper-flash. Anyone have any ideas? This is really annoying. Sometimes it works for a few seconds to a minute or 2, then just goes blank (the flash portion).
Thanks.

Hmm i used the -ubuntu version and had a similar error when installing:

But these are not related to flash..
And then I found that flash still worked until just recently when I was messing around to get the java web plugin to work on a 32bit swiftfox with lib32jdk from aur. It sounds unrelated but then flash only started working on 32bit swiftfox and not the 64bit firefox. So now i've uninstalled all the lib32jdk, 32bit swiftweasel and all the nspluginwrapper stuff before trying with java(gcc-gcj + java-gcj-compat) and nspluginwrapper again or gnash-cvs

Nasty printer problem

My question is:
Where should I look for printer configuration files??(esp.paper format)
Story: Everything worked properly when I loaded printer modules(lp,parport,parport_pc) and installed CUPS for the first time.
Then, sth went wrong and my CannonBJC-240 started printing in some weird format, instead of covering the whole A4 paper format it only filled half of the page, like one column. I've tried reinstalling cups(&wiping all the cups config files in /etc/cups), ghostscript, gimp-print and the weird format setting is still there. I wouldn't like to reinstall Arch only because of this and I know there must be a configuration file responsible for this. Not sure where it is though. :?

Hi Dreameen,
Did you try to configure the printer with the web interface?
http://localhost:631/printers
Select your printer and click on "Configure printer". The page size (and other printing parameters) can be changed on this page.

Nasty RAID Problem

I have a two slice software RAID 1 (mirror). Leopard.
For some reason I unplugged one of the slices. I believe it was while the RAID was not mounted, but I cannot recall. Once i noticed the drive was powered down AFTER the RAIDset was remounted, I plugged the drive back in.
Nothing happened.
Forgive me if I am being naive here, but the returning slice should be checked and updated, right?
So as nothing happened, I decided to manually rebuild the slice.
This failed, so I still have a degraded RAIDset.
The verify and repair of the slice is greyed out. I would like to repair the slice and rebuild it, but not sure what to do next without causing MORE problems.
Any ideas?

It's been a while since I played with a RAID set, but from memory:
You should be able to delete the array (but not erase the disk) from Disk Utility and mount the good drive as a standalone, with all the data on it. You should then be able to erase the suspect drive and create a new array, which will then mirror the data to the blank drive.
Do some more research on this, as I'm not 100%.
As a side note, I was once advised not to use a software RAID to mirror my boot drive. Apparently it can cause issues.

Reporting Services Generates HUGE nasty looking error

"System.Net.WebException: The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized. at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.ReadResponse(SoapClientMessage message, WebResponse response, Stream responseStream, Boolean asyncCall) at System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String
methodName, Object[] parameters) at ReportServices2008.ReportingService2005.CreateReport(String Report, String Parent, Boolean Overwrite, Byte[] Definition, Property[] Properties)...."
So on the project I'm working there is a .net app that incorporates reporting services. I can run previously developed RS reports with no issue. If I try to develop a new RS report or if I try to copy an existing report to a new location, it fails
with the error above.
I have already done several hours of research and it appears that an account associated with the Reporting Service service maybe the issue. My question is how do I verify what accounts are associated with which services within the Reporting Services?
I have gone through the logs and it dosen't really point me in any specific direction. Same for the event log.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi BI-Bill,
According to your description, you encountered the "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized" when creating or copying a report to new report. Right?
Generally, "The request failed with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized" occurs when
The service account used to connect to the Report Server is not authorized.
The Reporting Services is configured to use Kerberos, however, we didn't register Service Principal Name (SPN) for the account the Reporting Services is running under.
So, to fix this issue, we can refer to the follow steps:
Make sure the user is able to connect to the Report Server.
If using Kerberos authentication, please make sure SPN is configured correctly. If using Kerberos authentication, please make sure SPN is configured correctly.
For more information about Kerberos Authentication and how to register SPN for a report server in Reporting Services, please see the articles below:
Configure Windows Authentication on the Report Server
Register a Service Principal Name (SPN) for a Report Server
Also since you want to create/copy a report to a new location, please make sure the service account has permission on the new location.
Reference:
The request failed
with HTTP status 401: Unauthorized + Reporting Service
Enabling Kerberos Authentication for Reporting Services
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Quick look problem when trying to quick look a movie

Hi can anyone help, when I click on a movie file and press space it comes up with a clip from the movie with a diagonal line through it, the top bit above the line is a transparent white color. Is the file corrupt?, cause it happens to all movies files even when I add new ones. This happened when my external hard drive came out without ejecting.

JComboBox look problem

Here is what I need to do.
I have to build a ComboBox that will have a different graphic than the arrow pointing down.
I want to place a .gif instead of the arrow. Also, the comboBox should always show the entire .gif files, not just a part of it. Basicaly, I want the height of my combobox to be the same as my f.gif file.
Right now, I can place a .gif file, but if my ComboBox is small I will not see the .gif completly.
Thanks

How about:
combo_box.setSize( img_icon.getIconWidth(), img_icon.getIconHeight() );

Nasty international problem

I have an iphone, i am in japan, I had an irish account, refused to download apps.
"you account is only valid for irish itune store"
I change the account and bill info to japan, no its refusing to download with "you account is only valid for japan itune store"
The main reason was for apps. did i just buy a brick?

Well it's not a brick - bricks don't even turn on, let alone anything else.
Are you accessing the app store from the iPhone or from a PC?
