NetInstall 10.5.7 installing to /var/run/DoNotInstall

Hello, has anyone tried creating a 10.5.7 slipstreamed NetInstall? I've found that while 10.5.6 deploys fine, 10.5.7 doesn't. The logs show many files trying to install to /var/run/DoNotInstall. Consequently, the installation fails due to "no space left on device". I have tried the following combinations with a retail Leopard DVD image:
10.5 base + 10.5.6 Combo Update (succeeds)
10.5 base + 10.5.7 Combo Update (fails)
10.5 base + 10.5.6 Combo Update + 10.5.7 Update (fails)
The SHA1 hash of the 10.5.7 Combo update is correct, and I have logs from both failed installs if anyone would like to see them.
Thanks in advance,
X

@xorlogic and @iSauce: I, too, would like to know what you have found.
I have tried posting my findings and logs to the "OS X Server", "Installers" and "Imaging" Apple lists with no useful information.
I have tried using 10.0, 10.4, and 10.6 as the bases. I can use any update up to and including 10.5.6 without a problem, but I seemingly run out of space with 10.5.7 around "Activity Monitor" or "Address Book" depending on variables I have not yet determined.
A thought I had but don't have the skills to test is this: Can we use a payload-less package that uses a pre-flight script to link this mysterious "/var/run/DoNotInstall" to "/dev/null" instead?
In the next day or two, I hope to attempt starting with a 10.5.0 base and adding each of the delta updates one at a time up to 10.5.7 and seeing what that does.
I have this thread's RSS in my bookmarks bar which is how I found @iSauce's reply so quickly. I will be watching with bated breath for that happy little '(1)' to appear.

CDL

    Error: Can't connect to auth server at /var/run/dovecot/auth-master: No such file or directory
    error showing up, there is no auth-master file in /var/run/dovecot
    this has just happnened over night
    any ideas how to re-install dovecot
    google search goes on about linux but barely any info about max osx server

    auth-master is created when you start the mail service. Deleted if you stop the mail service. If that is not happening, you may have to re-install mail. Dovecot is the IMAP/POP part of the mail service. I am not sure what happens if you disable IMAP. I am guessing it is not there. But that is the extent of any tips I can offer. I suppose you could reinstall, but that seems a bit extreme to me.

  • /var/run symlink replaced by directory after reboot

    Hi guys!
    I have installed Arch on my home server a few days ago using the latest (2012.06) iso available (not the net install).
    My boot, root and swap partitions are all mdadm raid 1 and i use syslinux to boot which works fine.
    After setting up my machine for a while i noticed the "filesystem" package was not properly installed by pacstrap (even though it's already pretty old and should be included in the latest iso). Don't get me wrong it WAS installed, but only the /var/lock directory was symlinked. As most of you know this package update should replace /var/run and /var/lock with symlinks.
    So i just tried to "reinstall" this package with 'pacman -S filesystem --force' (as described in the news post).
    At first it looked great - symlinks were there and i could start several services with systemctl (which didn't work for a lot of services before), but get this:
    After every reboot or simply after some time the symlink (just of /var/run , not lock) was GONE and a file (not directory) "run" gets created with the following permissions - -rw------- root root. What happens is that at every reboot systemd-logind dbus and therfor most other stuff won't get started properly. For example after boot i had only just the terminal at F1, all other screens were just black and after some time i get the message that systemd-logind.service failed.
    When i manually remove the file and replace it by the symlink i can manually start/restart all services and from that time on everything works great.
    What i was interested in was WHAT exactly removed my symlink after some time or at boot time, so i used audit to monitor the symlink for  a while.
    Here's what i got when the symlink was removed and then a file "run" was "touched": http://pastebin.com/BYsRHWbC
    Unfortunately the ppid ( i guess "parent process id") was not running anymore so i still don't have any idea what's going on exactly.
    I'd appreciate ANY information or tip you have. My guess is that systemd is involved somehow.
    As a sidenote: Before i found out the symlink was missing i installed initscripts once to see of systemd was just still buggy. I removed it shortly after though.
    Looking forward to input and I'm happy to answer your questions.

    Isn't Shorewall is just a collection of scripts that load iptables rules? Even the Shorewall binary is just a shell script, so you can easily `grep` through it and the config/helper files that make up Shorewall to see what it's up to.
    Looks like the only time it messes with `touch` is here:
    root@antec /etc/shorewall# grep -R touch /usr/share/shorewall/*
    /usr/share/shorewall/prog.footer: touch $STARTUP_LOG
    /usr/share/shorewall/prog.footer: [ -n "$SUBSYSLOCK" ] && touch $SUBSYSLOCK
    /usr/share/shorewall/prog.footer: [ $status -eq 0 ] && touch $SUBSYSLOCK || rm -f $SUBSYSLOCK
    /usr/share/shorewall/prog.footer: [ $status -eq 0 ] && touch $SUBSYSLOCK || rm -f $SUBSYSLOCK
    So.. maybe your shorewall.conf file has set SUBSYSLOCK to something invalid, like /var/run, and it's wiping it out each time when it checks for the PID lock file?
    I was able to get Shorewall to run and put its PID file in SUBSYSLOCK=/var/lock/shorewall
    It didn't mess with /run or /var/run at all.
    Had to change the systemd 'shorewall.service' file quite a bit though. It's not correct at all.

  • Error Messages when trying to install, uninstall or run iTunes 9

    I get the following error message when trying to Install iTunes:
    The path C:\DOCUME~1\Frank\LOCALS~1\Temp\IXP206.TMP\iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    I search my entire computer for the file but it's not there.
    Then, when I try to uninstall the iTunes and start the install from scratch I get another error:
    "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable"
    Catch-22, I can't install or uninstall and when I try to run iTunes I get:
    "The action is only valid for products that are installed"
    Very frustrating but I'm stumped and I don't know how to proceed. Any help would be very much appreciated.

    wooooooooo!!! got it working again!! having spent the last 6 hours..no joke six f*cking hours trying to sort it ive finally got iTunes back!!
    ok here is what you need to do:
    go to the link below and download the Microsoft Windows Installer CleanUp Facility.
    http://www.locksleynet.com/2009/06/09/missing-itunesmsi-problem-resolved/
    once you have downloaded it, install it and run it from the start menu. once its up and running remove everything to do with iTunes (so iTunes itself, quicktime, bonjour......the lot). Dont worry about removing iTunes completely, all the music is still there when it works again trust me!!
    ok once you have removed everything restart your computer, im not sure if this is a must but i did it.
    next download quicktime from the apple website (go to the 'downloads' tab near the top. download and install quicktime and restart your computer so the new settings are put in to place ( i think it asks you to restart anyway).
    go back to the apple website, 'downloads' tab and download iTunes itself. install that bad boy and you will be up and running with all your library intact!
    Hope it works for you mate!

  • I have installed Smile Box and can't get it to install, I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 10.5.8 1.33 GHz help?

    I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 OSX 10.5.8 1.33 GHz  and can't get Smiebox to install, it downloads the program just fine but will not let me install it, can someone tell me why?

    Hi SusieQ,
    Seems they have no idea what they're doing over there, to wit...
    Mac Snow Leopard and above*
    In general, we recommend a multi-core processor and at least 2 GB RAM.
    Connection to the Internet is required; Smilebox is optimized for a high-speed broadband connection, and that faster connection will give you the best performance.
    Smilebox uses your Internet browser and Flash11 (or higher) to run. We automatically detect whether Flash is installed and will help you install the free download if need be. You will also need javascript enabled. Your internet browser and any security software (firewall, antivirus) you have on your computer may need to be configured to "allow" Smilebox internet access. Please refer our article on - I have security software (firewall or anti-virus software) that I suspect is blocking Smilebox.  What can I do to fix that?
    If your computer shipped with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can install run Smilebox; we do require that Windows XP computers have Service Pack 3 installed.
    To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher (if your Mac was made in the past 3 years, it should meet this requirement), 2GB or more RAM.
    *Smilebox will not run on earlier versions of the Mac OS X including Leopard (10.5).
    Snow Leopard is 10.6.x, no G3/G4/G5 PPC Mac can run 10.6 or above.
    So this line is wrong, or two other lines about Snow Leopard are wrong....
    To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher

  • Install Failed:  The following install step failed: run preflight script

    I'm trying to reinstall Photoshop CS2 on an intel iMac, OS 10.5.5. I ran the install program, after a few seconds I get the following error message: 

"Install Failed: The following install step failed: run preflight script for Adobe Photoshop CS2. Contact the software manufacturer
for assistance." (I did contact adobe, but they no longer support CS2) Originally, I had installed PS CS2 when I was using OS 10.4.X, then I upgraded to 10.5.x. PS CS2 was working fine on my system. Then I accidentally deleted the program, now I'm having trouble reinstalling. I'd appreciate any help that you can give me.

    I encountered the exact same problem - I had upgraded to CS2 from a previous version of Photoshop, back
    when I was using OSX 10.3.9. Later, I upgraded my OS from 10.3.9, to Leopard (10.5.8.)
    CS2 always ran flawlessly, through all those systems.
    Then I had occasion to reformat my HD and reinstall Leopard 10.5.8.
    That's when the CS2 installer failed, with the same message mentioned above.
    When I called in, they basically said, buzz off....we won't help you.
    First, this shows that their software is flawed. 
    They managed to allow this problem to occur due to inept programming.
    Now they are either incapable, or unwilling, to write a programming fix for this problem.
    It reeks olf ineptitude, plus colossal, inexcusable arrogance and disrespect for their customer base.
    Just my humble opinion of course...and I've been a Photoshop user since 1990.

    Please help!!

    Fascinated and guessing:
    Something related to sock(2) because that's not part of your copied info. I'm thinking you've doubled up on sockets and the second socket doesn't exist, meaning you should be connecting to the first socket "mysqld.sock" whether automatic or not.
    I've only used GUI tools on purpose, so does this mean you've already got MySQL running and you tried to launch it again manually? Perhaps you already have one instance of a db and you're trying to launch a second instance, and the two can't coexist with a single user local db?
    Assuming this is all local, I'd shut down the db service and restart it, out of hand. I've seen similar messages when I set the db to start up on boot, and it didn't finish shutting down when I tried to restart it manually. Usually the GUI won't let me turn it on because it reports it's already running, but in that case it hadn't finished performing what the GUI was reporting.
    Just speculating.

  • Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run

    Quicktime errors during install, uninstall, or run. No error code. It just says it encountered an error and must exit.

    I located a previous response that satisfied my issue. Below is the process that allowed me to use quicktime.
    The "fatal error" in this context has (recently) been indicating trouble with old, misplaced QuickTime componentry lurking about in your system.
    (Whether or not the message is a symptom of that problem seems to depend on what version of old misplaced stuff is lurking and what version of QuickTime proper we're trying to install or uninstall ... but in recent times, there's been an uptick in fatal errors being caused by that.)
    So let's try investigating that possibility first.
    First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
    1. Open My Computer from the desktop or Start menu.
    2. In the Tools menu, click Folder Options.
    3. Click the View tab.
    4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
    5. Click OK.
    Now in "My Computer" open Local Disk C: (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
    Open the "Windows" folder.
    Open the "System32" folder.
    What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)
