Oracle8i Install: Argument list too long

When I try to install Oracle8i Enterprise 815 on Linux-Mandrake
6.0 (2.2.12 kernel) using a bash shell under fvwm/KDE/GNOME, I
get the following error messages:
[oracle]$ ./runinstaller

Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1
: Argument list too long
Would anyone have an idea what's going wrong here?
Thanks.

How large is ARG_MAX in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/limits.h and
MAX_ARG_PAGES in ./include/linux/binfmts.h? On my system (RH6),
ARG_MAX is 128K and MAX_ARG_PAGES is 32 (4K pages). The argument
lists used by the Oracle installer for its subprocesses are
pretty long!

Argument list too long

I got a directory of about 40.000 files.
I'd like to abuse jar for archiving those files because
a) I'm used to the syntax of jar
b) I thought that enabling indexing, the search for a single file could be very fast.
I said:
> jar -cfi ../blues.jar *
and I got:
> jar: Argument list too long
I got this error on linux, using jar of jdk-1.4.2-beta.
Is this a problem only of the linux-jar?
I started to test this out on an windows pc, but hadn't the time to finish the test, but it looked, as if it would work, because it didn't fail for the first 20 Minutes :).
(It fails nearly immideately on linux).
Is this an error of jar, or of bash?
Would it work, if I create a shell-script, which adds the files one by one?
Will an index really speed up the search for a single file?
It seems to me, as if only directorys are mentioned in the index-file?
Is there a well defined maximum of files that can be put into a jar file?

I found the answer.
It's a bash-related problem.
It's making a list of all that files, and this is too big.
If I change my command:
jar -cfi ../blues.jar .
the directory is visited file by file and there's no problem about 40.000 files (it only takes 20 minutes :)

Cp leads to "error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long"

With certain PDF files to which I've added a lot of extended attributes (using Skim.app, a PDF reader/annotator which stores its notes in extended attributes), Chronosync and Finder drag-drops don't preserve extended attributes like they're supposed to (i.e. the notes aren't viewable on copies of the document). When I use cp to do they copying, the following message appears in system.log:
error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long
Googling it returns no results

Hi Derick,
error processing extended attributes: Argument list too long
I have no idea why you get this error when copying a file...
There is a max size for each extended attribute (about 3800bytes), and if I try to create (by using a simple C program) an attribute larger than this limit then I get "Argument list too long" error. But in your case you are trying to make a copy of an existing PDF file whose extended attributes should be smaller than the limit, of course (Skim has no magical power of creating an attribute larger than the limit; if the note is too large then I guess Skim just splits the note into two or more attributes).
Q1: do you get the error only if you (try to) copy a PDF file with large notes? or you also get the error for a file with only small notes? How about a PDF file with many small notes?
Q2: are you copying the PDF file to external volumes? If so, are you sure it is HFS+? What happens if you copy the PDF file to the same internal disk volume, for example
cp your.pdf tmp.pdf

CreateOUIProcess(): -1 : argument list too long

Hi,
I tried to install 8i on Mandrake 6.1.
When I call "./runInstaller" I get :
Initializing Java Virtual Machine from /usr/local/jre/bin/jre.
Please wait ...
Error in CreateOUIProcess(): -1 :

(meaning: argument list is too long)
Any suggestions ?
TIA,

I get the same message with Mandrake 6.1.
But I had no problem installing Oracle 8.1.5 std under Mandrake
6.0.
My guess is that Mandrake made some small change that broke the
installation script.

I untar'ed the install segments and followed the install instructions including setting users and groups and installing JRE 1.1.6.

I am running Mandrake 6.1 and I am trying to install from oracle's home directory into another directory.
Help!

Joseph,
Don't use the runInstaller, but go to the install/linux dir and do ./runIns.sh
Worked for me ;-)
good luck!

An install operation took too long to execute - wireless install of new printer

New printer, out of the box.
Every time I try and install the printer wirelssly using the CD Rom, it stalls at 99% install and returns message
"an install operation took too long to execute. this is a fatal error preventing product use." I have tried the following (in this order) with no success:
- Downloading latest driver (even though CD Rom install said I had the latst driver)
- Turning HP Smart Install off on the printer, removing the printer from Device Manager, rebooting and reinstalling
- Temporarily disabling firewall and virus protection software, removiremoving the printer from Device Manager, rebooting and reinstalling
Help!!

Hi @Slup ,
I see by your post that the installation is stalling at 99%. Thank you for provided all the steps you have already taken.
I would really like to be able to help you resolve this issue.
Disconnect the USB cable first.
Remove the drivers first from the Print Server Properties if you have a printer icon listed in the Devices and Printers window. Highlight the printer, across the top of the window, click on Printer Server Properties, on the Driver tab, highlight and remove the printer, LaserJetPro 200 clr MFP M276nw and any Universal PCL drivers.
Uninstall the software from the CD. Touch the Windows key and the E key to access the computer window. Right click on the CD for the printer, left click open in a new window, double click on uninstall.
Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Then start the installation again, immediately follow the steps in this document after connecting the USB cable please.
A Fatal Error Displays During Software Installation.
Disregard the printer model. This should allow the software to fully install properly.
Test the printer.
How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
Please let me know if you require any additional assistance.
Have a fantastic day!
Thank You.

5.5.4 RCPT TO argument is too long

I creaed a new address book list of 48 names and I want to send an email to this list. I put myself in the TO: field and the name of the list in the BCC: field. I've done this many times with other address book lists and have not had a problem. But I am getting an error dialog:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded:
5.5.4 RCPT TO argument is too long. Please check the message recipient ", [email protected]..
.........." and try again
with about 12 lines of addresses specified there. Somehow maybe it thinks one of the 48 email address is super-long, but I've checked all the email addresses and they all seem to be fine. I think you're allowed up to 50 addresses in a list specified in the BCC field. Any thoughts?

I found the answer.
It's a bash-related problem.

HP LaserJet 1536dnf MFP - Install operation took too long to execute.

I am running Windows XP. When attempting to install the full driver (print, scan, fax), the setup gets to 99% and then hangs. Eventually I receive the error message "An install operation took too long to execute. This is a fatal error preventing product use." There are no error codes. I have looked through various postings and searched the internet for resolutions. Have spent hours trying different ways but all have the same result.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

If you cannot get the installation to install, did you try some of the steps in the link Shane_R offered in the previous post?
Are you installing the printer USB, wireless, or Ethernet?
What method are you using to install (download or software disc)?
If download, which driver are you having problems with?
If the previous document didn't help, then it may be a startup-service preventing the installation from going through. Turn off your anti-virus software temporarily and follow the instructions in the link below on how do turn those services off and how to update the installer just during the installation process, and then let me know how it goes.

I know you said your problem is different than the one mentioned above but I think these steps will be the same and hopefully get your printer installed. If it doesn't help, answer my questions above please so I can determine the next step to take.
Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

Buildall.sh env: javac: Arg list too long

Hi, Having trouble building dbxml in SmartOS (opensolaris).
While building Berkeley DB for Java in a long javac command, the script breaks with error:
env: javac: Arg list too long
make: *** [db.jar] Error 126
$ getconf ARG_MAX
1048320
returns a fairly high number - I built the same on FreeBSD with a much smaller number.
Any suggestions on how to get this built and what is causing the problem?
Thanks in advance!

WORK AROUND:
cd ./dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix
create file dbsrcs.txt that lists all the java source files listed in the JAVA_DBSRCS environment variable
it should look like this:
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ErrorBuffer.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ExceptionWrapper.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/ExceptionUnwrapper.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/PackedInteger.java
../dist/../java/src/com/sleepycat/util/keyrange/KeyRange.java
save dbsrcs.txt file inside dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix directory
# nano Makefile
find line:
$(JAVAC) -d $(JAVA_CLASSTOP) $(JAVACFLAGS) $(JAVA_DBSRCS)
and replace with
$(JAVAC) -d $(JAVA_CLASSTOP) $(JAVACFLAGS) @dbsrcs.txt
while inside the dbxml-2.5.16/db-4.8.26/build_unix directory, run make, to just compile Berkeley DB only
once completed, go back to dbxml-2.5.16 and run
./buildall.sh --enable-java
since Berkeley DB was already built, the build script will see this and skip the Berkeley DB compile since it's already compiled!

Artists/albums/songs list too long! Shortcut?

Hi,
I've got so many artists in my iPod's list, it takes me far too long to find songs. Not so bad when you're walking around, but terrible when I'm in the car with the iTrip and I'm trying to find a song!
Is there any way I can break the Artists/Albums/Songs lists down into like.. A-K, L-Z? Or jump to a particular letter faster than 1 line at a time? I have looked in the settings but I can't find anything relevant.
If this isn't possible, maybe it would be a good idea for a future iPod feature?
Thanks!

It isn't about how many tunes - rather the size of the files.
Look at the bottom of the iTunes window when viewing a playlist - it will show you number of tunes, time of playlist and the size of the entire playlist.

Keyword list too long

since iphoto version 8.0.2 up to the current version 9.1.5 I have one problem: my keyword list is too long. so clicking on "search" and then on "keyword" opens a list of four collumns and way too much rows for my display. so all keywords beginning with "a" until "k" are not visible and subsequently not choosable for search.
how can I search the first part of my keywords from "a" to "k" when the list is too long to be completely displayed?
PS: in the first iphoto-versions I bypassed the problem by using "keyword-manager" (bullstorm.se) but since the newest version, it is no longer compatible...

You can't, unfortunately.
IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
Of course, you can still search using Smart Albums.

.ICC / Printing Profiles List TOO LONG!

I am using CS5. When I print and I have to change to a different printer I am fed up with wading through 200 different ICC profiles just to pick one of the 3 I use at work everyday. I have tried moving my unused profiles to a new location out of the ColorSync folder (Mac OS10.6) to no avail. It also seems to me that not all the profiles listed in the ps print dialogue are located in either ColorSync folders (user and main).
Can anyone tell me where photoshop gets this list from?
Can anyone inform me on how to get rid of the LONG list of profiles and keep only those 3 that i use?
I cannot find a solution anywhere, and my experimenting does not work either.

It's a bummer that can't get rid of all these profiles. It's obnoxious!
My only solution, all be it half-assed, was I used the ColorSync Utility to rename the profiles with a number in front of it. Open the profile, under "1. 'desc' I edited the name with a 1, 2, or 3 and saved. This helps in organizing somewhat, but they are still appearing way down on the list.
For people that have to change to different printers daily in photoshop, this is something that should be addressed.
Thank you for your replies. any other solutions or ideas are welcome.

Rules List Too Long and Runs off the Bottom of the Screen

... this means the Cancel, OK and folder selector are all missing. I have a large screen and even though I've added many into a list still it runs out of view and off the screen...
Any ideas how to limit the height?

I had this problem too. The only workaround I found was to limit the number of entries per rule. That means I have several rules that are divided Part 1, Part 2, etc.
Would love to know if there is a better workaround, but I haven't found it yet.
