OL6U5/ULN - yum install hangs on "This system is receiving updates from ULN."

Greetings,
We have several OL 6U5 UEK boxes registered to ULN. We are trying to install apps, and meet prerequisites by installing rpms from ULN.
Each ULN rpm install stalls for a LONG time ~30 minutes, i.e.
# yum install nss-pam-ldapd
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
This system is receiving updates from ULN.

I too noticed unusual hangs and very sporadic processing, using Oracle Public Yum though. It seems to get worse the more updates get released. I recently had it hanging for 15 minutes showing no progress. Strace does not give any clues beside showing a large amount of reading and writing by the yum utility (read, write, lseek), although non of the cache files appeared to be changing. Doing a yum clean all did not help in my case.
Perhaps avaliable I/O and data fragementation affect yum makecache performance. Downloading the data from the Internet looks ok in my case, which is about 2.5 MB/s. It seesm to be some yum local processing of the data that seesm to be the culprit.
I have not checked recently, but I noticed that the "latest" channels started to include all the source packages. The /var/cache/yum diretory in 6.6 using only the "latest" channel is already about 300 MB. I don't understand why the rpms packages need to be there, but unless anyone tells me otherwise I wonder it if might cause the slowdown.

I am using os x 10.4.11 on a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo. I don't believe I can install lion on this system but was wondering what is the highest version I can use?

Here are the requirements for Lion:
http://osxdaily.com/2011/06/07/mac-os-x-10-7-lion-system-requirements/
In order to install Lion you have to have Snow Leopard and then update to 10.6.8:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Personally I suggest that you stop at Snow Leopard. It still is the most efficient OS that Apple has devised and it still works great. Go to the Lions only if there are feature that you really need. There may be a price to pay in slower performance though.

Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!! Why is this so?

Eversince installed Mountain Lion, i can't receive emails from my Microsoft Exchange account!!
Why is this so? I don't have this problem prior to installing the Mountain Lion OS X

Have you tried 10.8.1? It includes fixes in this area. Usually the problem is if Active Directory is returning incorrect Exchange information in response to an Autodiscover request. In 10.8.1 you can manually edit this information.

Can I run PSE 8 with Mac OS X 10.8.2? Install hangs at 'checking system profile'

Hi
I had to replace my iMac hard drive a few months ago and installed Mac OS X 10.8.2 (having been running something a bit older). I have just tried to install PSE 8 from disc (which worked quite happily on my earlier OS X version) and it hangs when the install gets to 'checking system profile'. Should it install or do I need to get a later version of PSE?
Thanks

Don't think that this will work, despite PSE 8 not being that old. Undoubtedly some of the security and file system changes in OSX 10.7 and 10.8 are at play here thast the installer can't cope with... Consider getting PSE 11.

10.3 clean install hangs on "Base System Part 2"

I just recently acquired a Power Macintosh G3 B&W revision 2 with a 400MHz PPC G3, pretty much bone stock except that I've upped the RAM to 448MB using some old pulls that I had lying around from previous iMac upgrades. The factory 8.6 install recognized the RAM, so I went ahead and ran the latest firmware updater from Apple. The updater said I was already running the latest firmware, so I proceeded with wiping the HD and preparing to install 10.3 from the retail install discs. I can repartition and erase the HD, choose that HD as the installation drive, and customize the install in order to remove things that I won't be needing/using like additional language translations and Internet Explorer. The installer hangs though almost immediately; it makes it through preparing "Base System Part 1" but hangs as soon as it begins preparing "Base System Part 2". I thought perhaps that the HD was in bad shape since it is 10 years old, so I pulled that drive and installed an extra 40GB Maxtor that I had lying around (I also have an extra 10GB WD if all else fails) with the exact same results. Everything seems to work fine except for the installer hanging. I was able to get a partially functional 9.1 install using my iBook's backup disc (which amazed me greatly considering that it shouldn't have worked at all), but seeing as how that disc was made for the iBook, the install is lacking quite a bit of functionality (can't update to 9.2 and then 9.2.2 for example); besides, I'd rather have OS X anyway. My long term goal is to install 10.3 and then update to 10.4 and eventually 10.4.11 (I have a lot of other hardware upgrades in mind, but I can't start in on those until I have the system booting into 10.3 first / not about to spend money until I have a working system ;] ).
I've tried to be as specific as possible, but if I need to clarify anything, please let me know. As my details state, I also have an iBook FW SE happily running 10.4.11 and a MacBook White with the latest and greatest. I'm not very technically inclined, but I can handle even the most difficult of upgrades (that HD in my iBook was NOT easy to get to, but it sure was fun!). Any help is better than where I am right now. I'd really like to install directly onto the machine, but I do have the necessary hardware to install from my iBook to an external HD and then relocate that drive to the B&W.

Actually, this is in fact the revision 2 system with the "402" chip, which is why I was very excited to end up with this machine. From what I've been able to gather since this B&W found its new home with me, the whole B&W line was kind of flaky all around (with the non-402s being even more flaky).
- Update - I used an external firewire enclosure to install 10.3 on the original 6GB drive courtesy of my iBook FW SE. I swapped the 6GB drive back in and removed the 40GB that I had been testing in there, so the system is stock except for the RAM, which I may try reducing to Panther's minimum tomorrow just to remove all variables. I get the Apple logo on the screen, but it immediately changes to the "circle with a line through it"; almost makes me think it's a firmware problem, but the updater indicated that the firmware was already up to date. I may also try to get 9.1 back on there again tomorrow and just double check the firmware again.
Incidentally, is there an easy way of figuring out what firmware version the system is currently running without having an OS installed? I know on the iBook you can hold down [command]-[option]-[O]-[F] to get into open firmware, but I haven't tried it on this machine yet, nor do I know how to check the version number from there. I may end up putting in separate IDE card in the end, but I would much rather use the onboard; it would save a few bucks in the end, and for my purposes the performance penalty won't make much difference (i'm mostly setting it up as a backup computer right now for basic web-browsing and whatnot / nothing fancy right now, just the basics).
Now after re-reading your post though, it occurs to me that I don't have a solid three-drive shelf :P. I have two plates (one toward the front of the system and one in the middle) meant to hold SCSI drives, and one two-drive bracket toward the rear of the machine designed to hold either a SCSI drive or up to two IDE drives (although the upper portion is a little too wide to actually mount an IDE drive appropriately). It does have the IDE controller chip marked as "402" and a manufacture date in LATE 1999. What gets me is that it hangs on the Panther install while running stock and won't boot into Panther even after it has been forced onto the stock hard drive.
You do have me thinking though, which is certainly the first step to figuring it out. If I do end up having to put in a separate IDE controller, can the B&W boot from that? Probably a silly question I know, but from what I understand, it can't boot from a hard disk on it's secondary controller although it can boot from the optical drive there :P, which indicates to me a VERY finicky computer. lol

PS CS4 upgrade install hangs while checking system profile

System is a Core 2 Duo 6700 with 4GB, XP2 Pro SP3.
Installing PS CS4 upgrade over CS3.
Downloaded file unpacks OK, but when running Setup the Checking System Profile bar gets to about 90% the PS Setup window flashes up for barely a second, then the install hangs, ie no further progress with the Checking System Profile (left if for 20 mins or so).
I've downloaded and run a new CS4 upgrade file from Adobe store. No change.
I've added SP3 (was on SP2), no change.
Any one seen this or have any ideas?
Thanks!

@Ender
I've been dragging through the installer mud for CS4 ever since a sunny summer day in 2007, so I clearly know some of that stuff... ;-) And sorry to say so, it's simply not the off-screen dialog problem in most of these cases (which a look at the installer logs would very likely confirm). We can discuss this further off-list, if you feel like it, so shoot me a mail to mylenium|-|at|-|mylenium.de. I sure would like to get to know some of the Photoshop-Aliens a bit better (as someone rooted in the video, compositing and 3D world) :-D
@Mike
Simply move them all out of the way or rename them and see what happens. The installer will create the folders again if needed and if e.g. you still need to run CS3, simply renaming/moving them back to their original state will still work (as long as you don't touch any folders related to licensing or shared core functions such as Anchor Service or Linguistics). If you're not feeling adventurous, then call support, they will provide you with more detailed explanations and hold your hand ;-)

Windows 8.1 system with new Office 2013 install not pulling down any Office 2013 updates from my SCCM 2012 SP1 server

Hi,
I've just setup a new Windows 8.1 system and added to my SCCM 2012 SP1 server and all is good and it pulled down all the correct Windows updates and pulls down automatically the FEP updates that are distributed from SCCM 2012 daily.
I just installed Office 2013 on this system and have activated it as necessary. The problem is that the system doesn't seem to be pulling down any of the Office 2013 updates that have distributed thru SCCM. I have other systems with
Office 2013 installed and they have pulled down Office 2013 updates in the past when I published them.
If I look at the Office 2013 updates in the SCCM console software section, I can see that for example it shows that Office 2013 SP1 (x86) is needed by one system and installed on 8 other systems and shows as downloaded and deployed.
I've restarted the new system multiple times and also tried to force a software update check from the Configuration Manager applet but nothing seems to happen.
What can I check to try and determine what the problem is?
Thanks in advance,
Nick

Yes, the 8.1 system is a member of collection where the update deployment is targeted.
Are there any specific logs I should check in the client? If I check the WindowsUpdate.log I can see messages about the machine pulling down the FEP updates but that's all it appears to be doing.
in CCM\logs, focus on the updatehandler and updatedeployment, to begin with

Applying updates from ULN

I have 12 systems covering a variety of Oracle Linux 4-6. They all have support through ULN. I know I can point each server at the public Oracle yum repositories to get updates (http://public-yum.oracle.com/), however the documentation there makes it clear that errata are not available using that method. Further searching shows that I can follow http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/yum-repository-setup-085606.html and configure my own local yum server, but I'm curious if there is a way for these machines to individually pull their updates directly from ULN as opposed to through another machine that I need to build?
I believe the answer may be that, once a system is registered with ULN, updates will be pulled from ULN by default unless configured otherwise. True?
Thanks,

I believe the answer may be that, once a system is registered with ULN, updates will be pulled from ULN by default unless configured otherwise. True?Absolutely correct. As long as these servers are covered by a ULN support agreement, and they have external Internet access (via proxy is OK), they will get their updates from the https://linux-update.oracle.com web site via either up2date(8) or yum(8).
The idea behind having your own local repository is that it: 1) conceals from Oracle your internal server inventories; 2) reduces bandwidth requirements by having only one server communicating with ULN instead of 10,000; and 3) allows better configuration control because the RPM packages can be better vetted before being placed onto sensitive production servers. There are probably other reasons as well, but three works for me :)

Windows XP CS4 Upgrade Install hangs at Checking System Profile...

Problem: When installing from DVDs, the "Checking System Profile..." progress bar makes it to 90%, then hangs, causing you to abort using Task Manager. Changing startup and services settings, or disabling antivirus software doesn't help.
Here's what got me past the hang.
My guess is that it's a DVD player issue. These install disks thrash like crazy during installation. I did this:
1. Copy the "Application 1" disc contents to a folder on your hard drive then run setup.exe from the folder the same as you would from the DVD (see Adobe install instructions).
2. The "Checking System Profile..." progress bar completes and gets you to the serial number entry page.
3. Enter your serial number and let Disc 1 install from your hard drive.
4. When the installer asks for Disc 2 in the c:\ drive (which can't be done), cancel the installation. You'll get some troubleshooting information and links that you may find interesting. Exit the installer.
5. NOW try to install Disc 1 from your DVD drive. Again you get "Checking System Profile...", but since you've already entered your serial number, you get the install window for installing or reinstalling CS4 components. Check the programs that you want to install, then proceed. It's working for me so far.
Good luck,
J.

Repy to Jeff K (number 1 topic see top of page):
Your method worked for me THANK YOU FOR POSTING YOU ARE A GODSEND!
This is what I did to make it work:
1) Copied contents from App1 & App2 DVD's. (can take a while, good time to get a cuppa coffee!)
2) Pasted them into separate folders on my hard drive (named them Adobe CS4 App1 & Adobe CS4 App2
3) Ran the App1 setup.exe program from the Hard drive and in a few minutes the serial number page appeared (which didn't appear in the many attempts I have done this weekend so I knew this was working well)
4) Setup goes through the process as you would expect.
FYI:
- The virus & firewall did not affect the installation
- I did use the cs4cleaner but only found 'Adobe Setup' that was linked to anything on my system
- I did all other 'Adobe support suggested' work arounds, but none worked for me
- Jeffs suggestion of copying files to Hard drive is the only one that has worked
- Some suggestions say to remove flash player...don't bother because it's required for other programs and it gets upgraded with the install anyway so no need to uninstall. it caused problems for my HP Officejet 8500 all in one when i did uninstall it...save yourself the extra issues.
- Dual monitors and graphics cards aren't the issue so don't change any settings there, i have dual monitors didn't create the issue for me.
I'm running XP SP3 on PC with a fresh install of CS4 (not an upgrade).
hope this helps

I have an iMac with OS X Mavericks installed. Can this system recognise SDXC (camera) memory cards?

Does OS Mavericks support SDXC memory cards?

No iMac PPC can install Mac OS X 10.9.2. PPC refers to Macs made prior to 2006 when it comes to iMacs. I've asked your post be moved to the correct forum.
Apple's article on SDXC is a bit ambiguous regarding Mac OS X compatibility, but does say the following iMacs are compatible with Windows 7 and Windows 8 under Boot Camp:

RT system timeout when update from NI-DAQmx 8.9.5 to 9.0.2

I installed LabVIEW 2009 on my host (Window XP) which now has NI-DAQmx 9.0.2 installed. My remote RT chassis has NI-DAQmx 8.9.5 installed. I need to have NI-DAQmx versions match on my host and remote systems. I have tried using the LabVIEW Real-Time Software Wizard to install NI-DAQmx 9.0.2 from my host. The installer tries to reboot the remote chassis to the install mode but times out and returns Error Code 56. How do I get my versions to match?
Steve Hall
[email protected]
Solved!
Go to Solution.

As you stated, be sure to install LV RT 2009 then you should be able to update the DAQmx drivers for your RT system.
You may also see error 56 (timeout) if the RT target is running untimed loops and starving the thread, or if you have a firewall blocking certain ports. Check out this KB on error 56.

BW system not receiving Idocs from R/3 system

Hi all, I am having a problem with my BW system. What happened is that we deleted logical systems in R/3 and then recreated them but now in BW we can't display received data. We checked using rsa3 extractor checker and the data is available in R/3 but we are failing to bring it across to BW. BW is saying there is no data. And the monitor status when loading data is reporting missing messages that is: Request received, Number of sent records and Selection completed. May you assist me it's urgent because all BW work has stopped because of this.
Thanks in advance!!

Hi, we recreated RFC destinations but the problem still remains. This is the message under my Monitor status on the "Details" tab:

When trying to update and install Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 update from 10.8.2, the App Store will restart my computer but not install the update. Any ideas on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" from 2008?

I was wondering, does anyone have an idea on how to update my Macbook Pro 15" to Mountain Lion's 10.8.3 from Mountain Lion's 10.8.2 version? When I attempt to use the App Store, it will restart my computer but it will not install the update. The update also still shows up in the App Store as available and when going to "About my Mac," it still shows the current version being 10.8.2.
Computer:
Macbook Pro 15" Aluminum Body
Purchased Late 2008
Current OS: Mountain Lion 10.8.2

Is this worth purchasing the update from Snow Leapord?

Is this Software/OS worth paying 30.00$ for? I am running Snow Leapord now. Is this that much better that it is really worth 30 more dollars. What does it include and is that the only thing I have to buy because I read something or someone saying they had to purchase the Software then a server on top of that or something. Help me please, and just let me know it is it one single price of 30$ and then I am good to go from there or will I have to spend more than 30$ adn also if it is even worth upgrading, thank you !

We can certainly give you opinions. Of course, our opinions are all wrong. Unless we use our computers for exactly the same tasks and in exactly the same way as you. Ultimately, you are the only one who can decide.
Note that, contrary to what you'll read on these forums, Lion's not a bad update, unless you run afoul of one of its limitations. Like the inability to run old PowerPC apps. If you rely on any PowerPC apps, you'll have to either update them or not upgrade to Lion. (To see which of your apps are PowerPC apps, open System Profiler in /Applications/Utilities, choose Applications (under Software) in the left-hand pane and sort by Kind.)

First, you need to upgrade to the latest version of uln-yum-mirror to avoid these errors in future. The latest version has mitigation tools to remove RPMs that fail GPG checking.
In this instance, you need to manually delete the RPMs that pyCURL can't download. Once you delete all the RPMs, the next run of uln-yum-mirror will download them fresh and recreate the yum metadata locally.

OL6U5/ULN - yum install hangs on "This system is receiving updates from ULN."
