Open-vm-tools fail to start

Hi,
I installed open-vm-tools in my Arch x64 installation in VMWare Fusion, added it to rc.conf, but it resists to start properly and gives me a [FAIL] instead
[industrie13@arch64 ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools start
:: Starting Open Virtual Machine Tools [FAIL]
[industrie13@arch64 ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/open-vm-tools restart
:: Stopping Open Virtual Machine Tools [BUSY]
ERROR: Module vmhgfs is in use
[FAIL]
:: Starting Open Virtual Machine Tools [FAIL]
Any hints? A re-install didn't help.

This happens to me to sicne I first installed Arch (kernel 2.6.34-1). I gave up on it since I seem to have shared folders regardless.
Meanhwile, In X the new open-vm-tools version seems to have problems dealing with mouse integration. It works intermittently, when before it used to work great. But clipboard sharing works great.
Kernel: 2.6.34-2

OBIEE Admin tool fails to start

Hi,
We have installed OBIEE 10.3.3.2 and app 7.9.4 in windows 2003 server. We will not start anything on this windows box, but will open the Administration and change rpd file in offline mode. But when I am going to Start->All Programs->OBI->Administration , it's throwing error message "The Application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect". I have uninstalled and reinstalled the entire application, but the same issue persist. All other applications like DAC client etc are coming up properly.
Any help or pointer to this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sudipto

I have read the README.txt file which suggests the port numbers might be in conflict. I have changed them several times in the "webcache.xml" file and this did NOT help. I don't think the problem is the port numbers.
What other conditions could cause this problem?
Also, I am not seeing any log files getting generated, but it does create a "core" file. This is on a 4-CPU Solaris box with lots of hard disk space and other physical resources, so I don't think it is a resource problem.

[SOLVED] systemd: laptop-mode-tools fails to start (No such file ...)

Hi,
I recently moved to systemd. I noticed that 'laptop-mode-tools' does not start:
Loaded: error (Reason: No such file or directory)
Active: inactive (dead)
Also laptop-mode itself does not run (but exits successfully), maybe this has something to do with it:
laptop-mode.service - Laptop Mode Tools
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/laptop-mode.service; enabled)
Active: active (exited) since Sat, 2012-11-10 10:44:13 CET; 2min 17s ago
Process: 1020 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/laptop_mode init auto (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
CGroup: name=systemd:/system/laptop-mode.service
I cannot find anything in journal that would help resolve this issue. Has someone else come across this problem? Where should I look to fix this issue?
Sidenote: When I boot up, there show up some errors about 'eth0' and 'wlan0' "No such file or directory", but I cannot find them in the journal so I don't know them exactly.

Server admin fails to start tomcat only

Hi,
we just upgraded our server from 10.3 to 10.4. after the upgrade - the server admin tools fail to start tomcat only. sooooo when i start tomcat only service - the app says its running. but i can't connect to port 80 to show me the default page or any of my webapps.
whats werid is that:
it tries to startup JBoss
instead of Tomcat.
When I run the settings command I see:
# serveradmin settings appserver
appserver:jbossConsoleURL = "https://tels-berkeley.local:40000"
appserver:configurationType = "run_TOMCAT_not_JBOSS"
appserver:netbootIsBroken = "YES"
appserver:allConfigurations:arrayindex:0 = "default"
appserver:allConfigurations:arrayindex:1 = "deploy-cluster"
appserver:allConfigurations:arrayindex:2 = "deploy-standalone"
appserver:allConfigurations:arrayindex:3 = "develop"
appserver:configurationName = "deploy-standalone"
appserver:netbootClientURL = ""
This looks like it is should use tomcat but it doesn't. After running
serveradmin start appserver
I ran:
ps auxww | grep java
Which gave me:
appserve 1087 96.0 4.5 359912 58384 ?? R 11:24AM
0:12.58 /usr/bin/java -server -Xmx100M
-Djboss.server.temp.dir=/var/tmp/jbosstmpdata1083
-classpath /Library/JBoss/3.2/bin/run.jar org.jboss.Main -c
deploy-standalone
however, if i stop the services and start tomcat manaully with ./startup.sh it works fine.
the logs say nothing. does anyone have a clue whats going on? where i can investigate.
thnks
Anthony

I've been doing a little investigating, and I think I'm seeing the cause of the problem, but I don't know how to fix it.
When I do a "tail /var/log/servermgrd/servermgrderrorlog" on the server, I don't get normal error log lines. Instead, I get the text that you see when you type "serveradmin", namely:
============================================
Usage: serveradmin [-dhvx] [list | start | stop | status | fullstatus | settings | command] [<service_key> [ = <value> ]]
-h, --help display this message
-v, --version display version info
-d, --debug print command
-x, --xml print output as XML plist
Examples:
serveradmin list
--Lists all services
serveradmin start afp
--Starts afp server
serveradmin stop ftp
--Stops ftp server
serveradmin status web
--Returns current status of the web server
serveradmin fullstatus web
--Returns more complete status of the web server
serveradmin settings afp
--Returns all afp configuration parameters
serveradmin settings afp:guestAccess
--Returns afp guestAccess attribute
serveradmin settings afp:guestAccess = yes
--Sets afp guestAccess to true
serveradmin settings
--Takes settings commands like above from stdin
serveradmin command afp:command = getConnectedUsers
--Used to perform service specific commands
serveradmin command
--Takes stdin to define generic command that requires other parameters
============================================
This shows up repeatedly in the error log, as if it were trying to use serveradmin to perform tasks, but is instead just getting the standard help message back...
Anyone have clue as to why this would be the case?

After updayting fire fox the applixation will not open I get a message that says the application failed to start because its side -by - side configureation is in correct. please see event log or use the command sxstrace.exe tool for more detail

fire fox will not open

See:
*[[/questions/910134]]
Seems to be caused by a corrupted Visual C++ installation (multiple versions can be installed side-by-side; SxS).
You can try to use the sxstrace.exe tool to see if you can find which files are missing or corrupted and (re)install missing Visual C++ libraries.

HT1926 My itunes won't open because it says "This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem" Can someone help? I don't want to delete it altogether due to needing the phone backup

I was given notification to upload the latest version of itunes recently, so I clicked installed. However it has since corrupted my itunes and I get the error message:
"This application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem".
In poor timing, I have also accidently damaged my phone and have a new one to restore it to an old back up.
It is because of this I am reluctant to completely delete itunes off my computer and start again for fear of losing my back ups.
Is there another way to fix iTunes so I can open it again?
Thanks

Hey I finally got an older vesion of itunes to work!!! 10.7 x64 for windows 7
After uninstalling all apple products even quicktime
I had to delete everything from (program files, and program files x64, program data,)
And all downloads from apple, and I went in to search deleted other stuff from apple, and itunes
But definently not my itunes library and Playlist
Down loaded 10.7 x64 for windows 7, but checked (do not start when done)
Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my PC
I ran geek tech tool box same as reg cure pro, also PC Tools registry cleaner, and CC Cleaner
Then I emptied my recycling bin and restarted my PC
And wallah... It finally works, and I Love the older version anyways.
Easier to download and transfer music!!!!!

Windows Azure Tools: Failed to initialize Windows Azure storage emulator. Unable to start the storage emulator.

Hi,
I created a cloud service using Visual Studio 2013. When I tried to run the service, it fails with
Windows Azure Tools: Failed to initialize Windows Azure storage emulator. Unable to start the storage emulator.
Is there a way to debug this error? At a bare minimum, it would be great to get an error message on why it could not start.
Thanks

I ran Windows Azure Storage Emulator -v3.1 to launch the command line tool. I wanted to see if I could get some debug information, but that failed with the following exception.

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?

Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

I was updating Firefox from version 6 to version 7, after updating I tried to open Firefox and the message I got is this: This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found. How can I fix this?

I was updating Firefox to the newest version 7.0.1 from version 6.0.2 I think it was, I clicked the restart Firefox button that always comes up after updating. It started updating and then Firefox never restarted like it was supposed to after it was done updating. I then tried to open Firefox and it told me "This application has failed to start because xul.dll was not found." I did have Firefox crash on maybe about 30 minutes or so earlier which bothered me because I have been using Firefox for years and never had it crash on me before but I didn't think much of it at the time it happened because I was able to go back onto Firefox and finish what I had been working on. A while later I checked for updates and updated. The first time I tried to update it didn't work though so I had to shutdown Firefox and reopen Firefox and start the update a second time. It was after the second time that when I tried to open Firefox I got that message about failing to start because xul.dll can't be found. I filed a crash report when my Firefox crashed. This would have been around 1am-2am in the morning that Firefox first crashed and then wouldn't allow me to open it after updating. I have a DELL laptop running the Windows XP operating system but the laptop is probably at least 6 or 7 years old. The laptop will no longer charge so I always have to have it plugged into an outlet. Both my laptop hard drive and my external hard drive give me messages that I am running out of disk space on my hard drive. I bought this laptop 6 or 7 years ago second hand so it could be even older. In short it's a piece of crap and it gives me all kinds of issues but I currently can't afford a new one, but I have never had any problems with Firefox and I use Firefox more than any other aspect of my laptop so it's really really bothering me. May you please help me fix it?

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work. Thanks for the help though. I tried to uninstall and it said I couldn't because the file is corrupt or something, but I think I finally got it uninstalled and/or deleted or whatever, but now I try to reinstall/download it again from the beginning and I can't. No matter what I do I can not get Firefox working again. No matter how many times I try to redownload it. Any other suggestions?

When I try to install iTunes on my Windows computer I get an error message, "Apple Mobile Device failed to start". After an incomplete installation when I try to open iTunes I get an error message, "MSVCR80.dll missing". I downloaded MSVCR80.dll.

When I open iTunes I get an error message "MSVCR80.DLL missing". I downloaded this .dll and installed in C:\Windows|System32. I then scanned my computer to fix registry errors.I uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled and got the following error message "Apple Mobile Device failed to start".

When I try to open Firefox I receive this message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found." HELP!

I've been using Firefox for about 3 years. Today, I ran a scan of my computer Webroot Anti Virus and deleted all "risky stuff" they checked. Don't know if this is a coincidence but right after the scan I could not open Firefox. I receive the message, "Application has failed to start because ssl3.dll was not found. Reloading application may remedy this." I reloaded Firefox, the current version, clicked on open and received the same message. I've reloaded Firefox 3 more times with the same results. Now I need HELP.

See if you can make Webroot restore that file in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).<br />
If not then you need to reinstall Firefox and make sure that Webroot doesn't do that another time.
You can find the latest Firefox release here:
*Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
