[new feature] mkinitcpio: Possibly missing firmware for module (LTS)

When upgrading linux-lts, mkinitcpio spat out the following errors:
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: bfa
==> WARNING: Possibly missing firmware for module: aic94xx
Is this expected? When it says "possibly", does it mean it might not be missing? Or that it might not be needed? Or just that something is wrong?
When I searched, I came up with 3 threads. Two were from months ago and the other was about using Unity on Arch which I am definitely not doing.
I noticed mkinitcpio was upgraded yesterday or the day before so I'm not sure if this is related to that upgrade or the upgrade of the LTS kernel or the combination.
EDIT: and then my temperature went through the roof for no apparent reason. (Probably unconnected to the update but still.) Restarting seems to have fixed it, though...

I got the same warnings when I upgraded to kernel 3.9 (non-lts). It only showed on the fallback image and not the regular one though. I don't use those two modules so I ignored the warnings. The fallback image contains a bunch of modules you'll probably never use while the regular image autodetects what it needs and gives a much more slimmed down image.
I could be wrong about that but that's how I understood it.
I'm not sure why it's giving those warnings (I've never seen it before kernel 3.9) but recheck the log: It's probably only on your fallback image and you're probably not using those two modules anyway so I'm guessing only a small percentage of users will be affected by this.

11g New features to restore entire schema for 4 to 5 days back.

please help with 11g New features to restore entire schema for 4 to 5 days back by enabling FRA or FRA with archive in 11.2.0.2 database.

Any other option to restore schema??As it has been discussed in another thread, the schema is not a physical thing, it is a logical set of objects that user has.
So, to restore schema you will need to restore all tables in this schema.
As it was answered above, you can use Flashback Table for every table (with some limitations though).
Another option is using LogMiner. With some limitations as well.
For example, you cannot to "restore" a truncated table with LM.

Possibly Missing Firmware Module wd719x

When running mkinitcpio -p with kernel updates, I get a new warning that I'm possibly missing the firmware module wd719x. This is new--I haven't had this warning before, and my hardware hasn't changed. I haven't been able to find this module. Does anyone know where I can find it, and, if not, if it's okay if this goes unattended?
Thank you!

Installing wd719x-firmware, as Marshal Kilgore says, clearly solves the issue. However, I'm suspicious that actually this is a false warning from mkinitcpio, as in the cases that are mentioned on the wiki page that Trilby linked. I mean I also doubt that I have such a hardware. In order to check this I followed the upstream URL link of the wd719x-firmware package, and found out that the firmware is for Western Digital PCI-SCSI host adapters. OK, so I have to find out whether I have one of those PCI-SCSI host adapters. I don't know what they are, so I just tried to google for "linux list PCI-SCSI host adapter", without success. Does anyone know how to list such hardwares?

Image Ultra - cannot build W510 with new image - stops on missing Operating System Modules

Hi folks,
I am trying to build a new image for a Thinkpad W510 using ImageUltra 4(and now 5). I cannot get it to build unless I use the Network Install. If I use the boot disk, and select the Install and Setup option, it prepares the disk, and service partition and copies the modules to it. It then restarts, and instead of commencing the OS installation, boots to the ImageUltra Builder screen showing options to boot to another drive, go into the bios or start the browser.
If I clik in the ImageUltra link, it brings up an Image Ultra Map menu viewer dialog to tell me that a module is missing. This module is the Windows XP Primary Partition moule.
In desperation, I have upgraded to Version 5, and replaced the IUB4 modules with the corresponding version 5 ones. Still the same problem.
As I said, I can use the network install, so it looks like it cannot see the service partition.
I have the disk set to compatibility and not AHCI.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Hi,
I have seen, this same situation in the past with the T400 systems.
My problem was caused by the fact, that I placed XP Partitioning module into the wrong order.
From your description I assume, you want to deploy XP on the system.
So in this case make sure, that following in kept:
- you have configred the service partition to resize on the BACK (NOT on the front)
- make sure, that you define the service partition size to be dynamic (if it's too small, then tat would explain your situation)
Right now you are thinking on the same stuff as I do: "This all is correct, because it works using the network deployment ... "
Please understand, that the logic, when you are using CD deployment and Network deployment is a bit different.
Have you tried to use the deployment using a USB key?
I would also advice (as a debuging start) to remove EVERY module except following modules from your Base Map:
- XP Partitioning module
- Customization module
- Unattend .txt module
- OS main module
This will only show, if it might not be possible, that some other module is not intergerring with your image deployment.
NOTE: for this test deployment exclude the driver map.
In case none of the above will work, then please describe a bit more your Base Map (what all does it contains and how the service aprtition is set + what about the cleanup option,.... )
NOTE2: please in case you have the AHCI driver contained in the installation, then set also the SATA configuration in BIOS to AHCI when deploying.
Cheers

New Feature in BW 7.3 for DSO activation - Performance Data in DB2 environ

In BW 7.3 SAP is introducing a new feature - Activation is changed from single lookups to package fetch of active table. I also understand that it is database dependent.
Can anyone who has knowledge in DB2 environment highlight the necessary dependencies to maximize the DSO activation improvement and what is the maximum improvement expected in terms of percentage.
Thanks.

Hi Valerie,
Unfortunately i didn't find the answer yet. For the moment we have kept the old connection types to our DS environment.
Good luck!

11g New feature free sample of questions for 1Z0-050

Dear Oracle fellows
Are you 10g OCP, so what about preparing the 11g New feature exam?
See here Oracle publish some sample questions:
http://www.oracle.com/global/us/education/certification/sample_questions/exam_1z0-050.html

Is it possible to try/pass 1z0-050 BEFORE obtaining OCP10gYes. You won't get the certification until you have met all of the requirements, but it is possible to take the upgrade test without being 10G certified. If there's a big enough delay between passing 1Z0-050 and getting your 10G certification, I would not be shocked if you ended up having to open up an SR to request your certificate.
To be clear, I would expect that they'd notice the 050 and send the cert at the same time as your 10G OCP, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did not.

NEW FEATURE? Possibility to use APEX with other databases

Mainly for APEX developers:
It would be really great if the APEX Web development tool could be used with other databases e.g. MySQL, MS SQL,... as well.
Can you imagine possible opportunities on the market when you would be able to define the datasource (target database) and to be able to develop Web applications for other databases?
(First, the repository could be still in Oracle dB and only the target application should work with other database format.)
I think it would be very nice feature for all web developers, so please think about it because 90% of web databases are now PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL.
Thank you and have a nice day.
AB

Hi,
a direct support will probably not be possible, because MySQL, ... are not supporting PL/SQL. But that's the language APEX is based on. The rendering engine is written in that language.
Jes solution (Heterogeneous Connectivity) seems to be the only way to access these other databases.

New features for 5D MK III via firmware

The 7D Mark ii has some great features like the ability to finetune the shutter speed logic in the Av programm. This way you can shorten it to two or three times of the calculated basic value. Why don't we get this feature in the 5D Mark III via firmware upgrade? After the amount of money spent some feature upgrades possible via firmware should be delivered.

The 'firmware' will probably come with the 5D Mk IV.

Conceivably we couod see another if, say, they were to fall behind schedule with the 5D4 and wanted to stall a bit. What are people expecting from the 5D4? Not higher resolution, since that itch has already been scratched. Better low-light performance? Dual-pixel autofocus? An IR AF assist beam where the built-in flash isn't? GPS (with an actual "off" switch, one would hope)? Interchangeable focussing screens (including one with a split-image rangefinder, like a Katz Eye)?

New Features of BOE 4.0 integration kit for SAP

Dear colleagues,
I am looking for a presentation that shows the new features of SAP BOE XI 4.0 integration kit for SAP (BW), compared to XI 3.1. I have for example read that regarding WebI it will be possible to connect directly to BEx queries without universe. It is correct ?
I look to several documents on the market place, but there is no clear document about these new features...
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Thibaud

no "integration kit" in version 4 - its all nicely embedded into the core product.
you are correct - webi can direct connect (using BICS) and also can source from an Analysis View (which is an output of either Analysis Services OLAP edition or the Microsoft edition (excel plugin). you also get a new universe layer (.UNX) which gives you a much better view of your underlying BEx queries/Cubes and allows you to combine with aother data sources.
lots more info in the product manuals to v4 which are available at...
http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/
(just change the product drop down to "SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence Platform"
some specific info on SAP BW connectivity is here...

Better process for introducing new features and explaining how they work

There are all kinds of new features being added to the Creative Cloud app but knowing what they are and learning about how they work isn't the most user friendly process. The current process is read the release notes after updating to a new version. The release notes should hyperlink to the related features in the product help. It would be great if there was a "What's New" section for the Creative Cloud app itself with new releases which included an introduction to new features just like there is for the desktop products.

This is a poorly explained reason about why is so important having a loupe in Photoshop. I've not also, used the best example, but I will. This belongs to the ADDITIONAL FEATURES: Loupe/Magnificator View:. Also, I will try to make my english clrearer, but here it goes:

FAQ: New feature overview

This text guide helps you find most major new features in Photoshop CS. For a comprehensive video walkthrough, see this Ask A Pro session with Senior Product Manager Zorana Gee.
Retouching and transforming
Content-Aware Move tool
The Content-Aware Move tool lets you quickly recompose images without complex layering or slow, precise selections. Extend mode convincingly expands or contracts objects such as hair, trees, or buildings. Move mode lets you place objects in completely different locations (most effectively when the background remains similar).
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Content-Aware Move tool.
In the options bar, choose Mode > Extend or Move. Adaptation options control how closely the new area reflects existing image patterns.
In the image, circle the object you want to extend or move, and drag it to a new location.
Tip: To best extend architectural objects, use photos shot on a parallel plane, rather than at an angle.
Content-Aware Patch tool
The updated Patch tool includes a Content-Aware option that seamlessly replaces unwanted image elements by synthesizing nearby content. The natural-looking results are similar to Content-Aware Fill, but the Patch tool lets you select the area from which the fill is drawn.
In the toolbar, hold down the Spot Healing Brush, and select the Patch tool.
In the options bar, choose Patch > Content-Aware. Adaptation options control how closely the patch reflects existing image patterns.
In the image, circle the area you want to replace, and drag over the area you want to generate a fill from.
Redesigned Crop tools
The redesigned Crop tool provides an interactive preview so you can better visualize results. A streamlined set of toolbar options includes a helpful Straighten tool, and aspect ratio controls you can adjust while a crop is active in the image window. (To maintain the current aspect ratio or resolution, right-click the image to access additional options.)
To crop an image, click the Crop tool in the toolbar. Then either adjust default crop borders in the image window, or drag in the window to start with specific borders.
Note: If you deselect Delete Cropped Pixels to apply a nondestructive crop, you can later click the image to see areas outside current crop borders.
To correct image perspective, hold down the Crop tool and select the Perspective Crop tool.
Type
Paragraph and Character styles
In the Window > Paragraph Styles panel, create, store, and reapply the characteristics of groups of highlighted sentences. In the Window > Character Styles panel, specify the look of selected letters, words, or phrases.
Double-click existing styles to edit them and update all associated text in the current document. From the panel menus, save and load styles to apply them to other documents. Or drag styles from one document to another.
Type styles are hierarchical: Manual overrides replace any applied character styles, which in turn replace applied paragraph styles. This hiearchical approach lets you combine the efficiency of styles with the flexibility to customize your designs.
Tip: To create a style without first selecting text, click the Create New Style icon [ICON] at the bottom of the Paragraph or Character Styles panel. To edit a style without applying it to text, select an image layer, such as the Background.
Drawing
Vector layers
The Line and Shape tools now create fully vector-based objects. Apply strokes and fills using the options bar. Stroke objects with dashed lines and other designs. Fill objects with preset or user-defined gradients, colors, and patterns.
To later revise stroke and fill settings, simply select the object layer, and then select the Path Selection or Direct Selection tool.
Tip: To reduce anti-aliased edges, ensuring that vector objects look as sharp as possible, select Align Edges in the options bar.
Intuitive path editing
By default, dragging with the Direct Selection tool adjusts multiple related segments, letting you quickly transform path shapes. To edit only segments between selected anchor points, reflecting previous Photoshop versions, select Constrain Path Dragging in the options bar.
Video
Choose Window > Timeline to access the redesigned, clip-based Timeline panel, including transitions and effects that give finished videos professional polish. Easily change clip duration and speed, and apply motion effects to text, still images, and Smart Objects.
Video Groups combine multiple video clips and content such as text, images, and shapes on a single Timeline track. Separate audio tracks allow for easy editing and adjusting.
The redesigned video engine also supports a wider range of import formats. When you're ready to output final video, choose File > Export > Render To Video. Photoshop provides helpful presets and options for the DPX, H.264, and QuickTime formats.
Note: In Windows, you must install QuickTime separately.
Correcting wide-angle lenses
Choose Filter > Adaptive Wide Angle to quickly straighten lines that appear curved in panoramas or photos shot with fisheye and wide-angle lenses. The filter uses the physical characteristics of individual lenses to automatically correct images.
Fine-tune the adjustments with these options in the Adaptive Wide Angle dialog box:
In the upper left of the dialog box, choose the Constraint or Polygon Constraint tool. Then drag across key objects you want to straighten or align vertically or horizontally. (If necessary, right-click constraint lines in the image, and choose an orientation from the pop-up menu.)
In the upper right of the dialog box, choose the lens type and focal length, and adjust Scale andCrop Factor to compensate for any blank image areas the filter introduces. (To save and load customized settings for use with future images, click the menu icon.)
Tip: To see a visual representation of the transformations applied to the image, select Show Mesh at the bottom of the dialog box.
Photographic blur gallery
Choose Filter > Field Blur, Iris Blur, or Tilt-Shift to quickly create three distinct photographic blur effects with intuitive on-image controls.
Use Iris Blur to add one or more focus points to your photo. Then move the on-image controls to alter the size and shape of the focus points, the amount of blur in the rest of the image, and the transition between sharp and blurred areas.
For a different look, build a gradient blur effect using the Field Blur option, placing multiple pins with different blur amounts. Or align blur along one or more planes with the Tilt-Shift option.
With the blur adjustments complete, style the overall effect with Bokeh brightness and color controls.
Tip: Combine multiple blur types to produce creative results.
Camera Raw 7
Simplified Basic controls in the Develop tab improve highlight and shadow rendering. New local corrections are available for white balance, highlights, shadows, noise reduction, and moiré.
The new Basic sliders and new local adjustments options appear when you process new images or convert previously-processed images to Process Version 2012 (PV2012). To convert an image, click the exclamation-point icon in the lower-right corner of the image preview area.
Selecting and adjusting colors
Skin-tone selection and face-detection
Choose Select > Color Range. Then, from the top pop-up menu in the Color Range dialog box, choose Skin Tones to easily isolate those tones. To reduce the resulting selection to faces in the image, select Detect Faces.
Or, start off by selecting only faces: Choose Sampled Colors from the top pop-up menu, and then select Localized Color Clusters and Detect Faces. This approach lets you use the eyedropper samplers to refine the selection.
Note: To create a selection that preserves skin tones while you adjust the color of everything else, select Invert below the eyedropper samplers.
Improved Auto corrections
Perfectly enhance your images in a single step with improved Auto options for theLevels, Curves, and Brightness/Contrast adjustments.
Painting and patterns
Oil Paint filter
Choose Filter > Oil Paint to easily create the look of a classic painting.
Erodible and airbrush tips
Choose Window > Brush Presets to quickly access new erodible and airbrush tips, or Window > Brush to customize them.
Erodible pencils and pastels wear down naturally with use. Customize a variety of Brush Tip Shape options: Softness controls the rate of wear, Shape provides settings from flat to round, and Sharpen Tip returns to original crispness. As you paint, watch the amount of wear with the Live Brush Tip Preview to the upper left of the image.
Airbrush tips replicate spray cans with a 3D conical spray. Customize Brush Tip Shape options like Granularity,Spatter, Hardness, and Distortion controls. With a stylus, alter the spread of sprayed strokes by changing pen pressure.
Brush Pose holds stylus tilt, rotation, and pressure
Choose Window > Brush, and select Brush Pose to paint with a specified tilt, rotation, and pressure. Use a stylus to change the stroke relative to the default pose, or select Overrideoptions to maintain a static pose.
Brush Projection applies stylus tilt and rotation to tip shapes
Choose Window > Brush, and select Shape Dynamicsfrom the list at left. At the bottom of the options at right, select Brush Projection. As you paint with a stylus, changes to tilt and rotation alter the tip shape.
Color Dynamics remain consistent for each stroke by default
Color Dynamics settings automatically vary color as you paint. In previous versions of Photoshop, dynamics settings changed color for each distinct tip stamp in a stroke. In Photoshop CS6, however, dynamic changes occur once at the beginning of each stroke. This lets you vary color between strokes, rather than within each individual stroke.
To revert to the behavior of previous versions, choose Window > Brush, and select Color Dynamics from the list at left. At the top of the options at right, select Apply Per Tip.
Scripted patterns
Select Edit > Fill, choose Pattern from the Use menu, and then select Scripted Patterns to choose from several geometric options. Build sophisticated designs by combining these scripts with Custom Pattern presets and blending modes.
Workflow and workspace
Fresh new look
Work with a fresh, elegant interface with design enhancements like the following:
Select from four different brightness levels: Choose Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Photoshop> Preferences (Mac OS). In the Interface section, select a Color Theme swatch.
Note: To quickly decrease interface brightness, press Shift + F1. To increase brightness, press Shift + F2.
On-image displays keep you informed as you use your favorite tools, showing dimensions for selections, angles for transformations, and more. To adjust the placement of these values, in the Interface preferences, choose an option from the Show Transformation Values menu.
A new Mini Bridge gallery offers easier access to images and documents. Choose Window >Extensions > Mini Bridge.
To maximize screen space, functions formerly in the application bar have moved elsewhere. To switch between Standard and Full Screen display modes, click the button at the bottom of the toolbar.
Speed from Mercury Graphics Engine
Experience blazing-fast interactions with processing intensive commands likeLiquify, Warp, Puppet Warp, and Crop.
Layer filtering
At the top of the Layers panel, new filtering options help you find key layers in complex documents quickly. Display subsets of layers based on name, kind, effect, mode, attribute, or color label.
Preset migration and sharing
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate to easily move presets, workspaces, preferences, and settings from Photoshop CS3 and later to Photoshop CS6. Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets

New features of LabVIEW 2015

A few days ago, LabVIEW 2015 has been released.
I've played with it and really like all the new features that make things easier for the programmer. For example, the new "add/remove space" tool is fantastic!
After using LabVIEW 2015 for a while, it will be difficult to go back to an earlier version! Seriously!
Please use this thread to discuss the new features of LabVIEW 2015.

First, some really good stuff is on the horizon, no joke. To quote the sequal to 2001:A Space Odessy. Someone asked HAL what was going to happen now, and he replies:
"Something Wonderful..."
Second, 2015 has a lot new to offer, but as with last year NI chose to not really talk about it a lot. Even 2014 had a lot more to it than a new icon -- but that is the main thing they talked about.
But back to 2015, NI has also changed the way it handles missing DLLs. Rather than breaking the VI when you load it throws an error when run. Very helpful change that will.make code less brittle and complex.
NI is continuing to open up the low-level APIs sonyou can do things like add to the development right-click menus.
Built executables are smaller, sometimes significantly so. And they load faster.There is a new setting in the application builder to accelerate loading even further, but at the potential cost of longer build times.
Read the release notes, there's lots and lots of good stuff.
Mike...

Possible new feature for Macs

Hi Guys,
I have always been annoyed by not finding the right brightness on my display. It or either to bright or too dark.. BUT I came to the conclusion it is the whites on the display that makes it too bright and my eyes get tired.
I think an excelent new feature for Macs would be to be able to just increase the brightness of DARK colors and have the bright colors increase at 50% rate or something like that.
What do you think?
Edwin

This is a user to user forum. Ideas like these might find there way into software developers hands. If you wish to have Apple consider the idea, read the unsolicited ideas policy on http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and post there. Brightness of displays from my point of view, and for that matter glare can be very subjective, and hard to please everyone. Your overhead and peripheral lights, as well as the light behind you make a significant effect on the perceived brightness of the display. Anti-glare displays are truer to real life brightness and color than glossy displays. People who may not notice as much difference probably wear glasses or contacts as they add highlighted glare to your vision that isnt' there with unaided sight. People used to viewing glossy photos may prefer glossy displays well. But when it comes to realism, the anti-glare displays are closer to reality.
