    Well i went to go restart HAL  so i could startx and got this error
    EXT3-fs error (device sda3): read_block_bitmap  FAIL
    Is there something i should change or get rid of to get hal to start.
    When i do /etc/rc,d/hal start i get this
    EXT3-fs error (device sda3) : read_block_bitmap: Cannot read block bitmap - block_group = 14. block_bitmap = 458752

    This looks like a hardware issue.  Maybe an "fsck" will fix this...

  • My mac pro crashed. Apple genius people said to reinstall snow leopard. I did and it failed to start after i installed. I started with the power button, tried to install upgrades, and now I get only a grey screen with spining wheel.

    How can I restart a mac pro that shows only a grey screen with a spinning wheel. I reinstalled snow leopard (10.6.3) over 10.6.8 because apple genious people said I had problems with my library files after a time capsule crash. I reinstalled but when done I got only a blue screen. I restarted with the power button and tried to insall 10.6 combined upgrades. I got an error message that it could not install because of an error. When I powered down and tried to restart, I get only a grey screen. My optical drive does not open so I can't restart from another source.

    Restart, holding down the mouse button. That should eject the disc. Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC.  Then, pop in the install disc, restart with it in again, select your language, and, when the menu bar pops up, select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. select the boot volume and repair the disk.

  • Multiple Oracle Homes - Oracle Listener failes to start after installation

    Just in case the listener fails to start after an oracle installation, please check the oracle ports in the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora, both of which are present in the following directory:
    ...\oracle\<SID>\<Ver>\NETWORK\ADMIN
    All installations should have separate listener ports eg. If the first installation has port 1527, the next one should be 1528 and so on..
    If they do not, manually change the ports and start the listeners.
    Also check SAP Note 98252. Although I didn't find it necessary (I think it applies only if you have a single listener for all oracle homes), it did give me an idea that there some config problem in the .ora files.
    Also see [this thread|Oracle Listener error in Import ABAP phase?; for related details

  • ColdFusion 8 Fails to start after update Java for Mac OSX 10.5 Update 4

    I have been using ColdFusion on a Mac for years. Now CF fails to start after I updated Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 4. I usually start by typing in the terminal window sudo /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin/ColdFusion start.
    There is a crash report but I don't know how to read it. See attached.
    Please help, I need this working for my job.
    Thanks...Colin

    Dear Craig,
    Macbook Pro 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB RAM
    I'm sure that this is 64-bit
    CF 8.0.1 Enterprise Build 3080
    I had moved the Java SE 6 to the top in both Plugin and Applications. The
    correct version is showing in the terminal window. See below.
    Last login: Thu Jun 18 11:27:09 on ttys001
    Beta-4:~ Colin$ java -version
    java version "1.6.0_13"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_13-b03-211)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.3-b02-83, mixed mode)
    Beta-4:~ Colin$
    CF will not start. I have the activity monitor open, and when I start CF you
    see it in the activity monitor for a few seconds as it starts up. When the
    message process is completed in the terminal window CF disappears in the
    activity monitor.
    Any suggestions?
    C
    Hi, Colin,
    My apologies but I forgot to ask 2 questions: (1) What kind of Mac you have
    (Intel or PowerPC)? (2) What version of CF are you running and what installer
    did you choose (8 or 8.0.1, 32-bit, 64-bit, etc.)?
    To start, try the following:
    1. Normally you'd shut CF down first ... but that's not necessary for you
    2. Open Java Preferences again
    3. Select Java SE 6 and move it (drag) to the top spot in both section (Applet
    Plugin and Applications)
    4. Open Terminal
    5. Type java -version (you should see 1.6.0_13 as the new version)
    6. Try to start CF again
    This may not work (I've had issues with it) but it's technically how it's
    supposed to work. With the Java Preferences utility, you're visually setting a
    default JVM (you can do it with commands in Terminal but this is much faster
    and easier).
    If CF still won't start, look for the jvm.config file in your CF application
    folder (try /Applications/ColdFusion8/bin or
    /Applications/ColdFusion8/runtime/bin -- the latter is where a jvm.config file
    is on my machine for a particular version of CF that's installed similar to
    yours). You can override the JVM in this file but, hopefully, that won't be
    necessary!
    Best,
    Craig

    nohup oidctl server=oidldapd configset=0 instance=1 start
    3. check to see if things seem to be working properly in the infrastructure before starting the midtier
    dcmctl getstate -v (this will give you the status of the infrastructure components). If this comes back in error, you will need to solve this first.

  • Oracle 10 g OEM does not start after XP boot

    Hallo!I am currently studying for the Oracle 10g Administration OCA
    I installed Oracle 10 g on Windows XP but once I boot the OS and enter the OEM url on the browser,OEM does not load.
    I am forced to go to the command prompt and manually start OEM via the command
    emctl start dbconsole.
    How can I configure my oracle to enable OEM to automatically start after booting the OS?
    Thanks.

  • Weblogic admin console fails to start when commons logging is used.

    I have an application that requires commons logging.
    I followed the instructions as per the documentation and other forum entries such as How to use log4j into weblogic 10.3 to add the commons logging jar from apache and the weblogic jar specified. Plus I set the system property for the LogFactory.
    When I start up the application server I see messages as expected from my application. But when I start up the weblogic Admin console I get and exception and the console fails to start. I even tried to put the jars in my applicaiton instead of the domain/lib directory to try to iscolate the issue but still got issues with starting the Console.
    Any ideas on why this is occuring?

    Thank you for replying. Yes that is the first place we looked and tried. Actually to be more specific we followed the instrcutions under: "How to Use the Commons API with WebLogic Logging Services" of the same link.
    Are you thinking that maybe we are we missing a step somewhere else within the site?
    Not sure if I was clear before but we are using Weblogic 10.3 and also tried up to version 10.3.3. And we get the same results.
    We prefer to use the method with commons logging for our application.
    One more specific here what we did on our last attempt.
    1. added this to the startWeblogic script JAVAOPTIONS -Dorg.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=weblogic.logging.commons.LogFactoryImpl
    2. we put the WebLogic-specific Commons classes, $BEA_HOME/modules/com.bea.core.weblogic.commons.logging_1.3.0.0.jar, together with the commons-logging.jar file in one of the following locations: APP-INF/LIB or WEB-INF/LIB directory or DOMAIN_NAME/LIB directory server CLASSPATH
    We are still not able to get the Weblogic admin console to start
    Any other ideas?

    Judging by all the posts on the forum, there seems to be an issue at Apple's end, although they have made no announcement on their status page. Some users have reported that Apple is aware of the issue.

  • I can't open iPhoto because it may be damaged or incomplete? It started after I installed iDvd so I uninstalled it. No change - what do I try next?

    I can't open iPhoto anymore because "it may be damaged or incomplete"? I'd been making folders of my albums & videos & moving them to an external hard drive. I have years of photo's & video still on iPhoto that I had not moved to the external hard drive yet. This problem started after I installed iDvd so I uninstalled it. Also tried to download older iPhoto updates to see if that would resolve the problem. No change - what do I try next?

    1. Back up:
    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
