OSS/ALSA or Open Sound System/ Advanced Linux Sound Architecture?

I want to move/rename the articles in the wiki to their full names but they are commonly referred to by their shorter names even though the longer names would improve clarity. I've been cleaning up redirections in the wiki anyway so it would be too much of a bother to add a few more things to my list of redirections to clean up. Thoughts?

Can not agree more. This will definitely be easier for a user to find the article and also improve clarity.

Can't open "sound" in system preferences

Hello,
I've had a problem with the earphone jack today.(A red light was appearing when i took off the earphones) Anyway i seem to fix it but i can't open Sound from System Preferences. It's like stucked. Everything else is working but i can't change anything about Sound.
What should i do?

you can try removing the audio settings, and see if you get get into settings.
to do so, open the terminal (applications, utilities)
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist.old'
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist.old'

I am running 10.8 and setup airport extreme to run music from my imac to my receiver in the other room. When I open sound from system preferences, I don't see an external device to choose, other then internal speakers. Any ideas?

Airport Express (the small Airport device, which is the only one with an audio connection) works through Airtunes, which only works with iTunes. The computer won't send ALL system sound to the Airport. If you actually want to send sound outside of iTunes, use Airfoil.

Has anyone tried other open Operating Systems?

Such as BSD and OpenSolaris? I was wondering how other open OS compare to Linux.

Sadly, I tend to agree with dakor. If you want a reasonable modern desktop, you really want Linux or Windows. The most friendly useable BSD is PC-BSD in my experience which is based upon FreeBSD. FreeBSD in itself is fast and compact but is weighed down by menacing package systems and lack of hardware support. It also can't run VMWare which is a large downer as a server operating system for many. There are alternatives for virtualisation of course, but not so much in the business sector. However, I heartily recommend FreeBSD as a file server if you need one (assuming your RAID cards support it). OpenSolaris, if/when you can get it to install, seems fairly reasonable to begin with, but is decidedly not lightweight, and I found it somewhat sluggish. It feels like glueing a desktop UI onto what is traditionally a server operating sytem. I'm not really sure what it's trying to be anymore. I also question its future somewhat. It's a curiosity for me, but nothing more.
ReactOS is very impressive given what it sets out to do, and actually what it can achieve. Sure, it's trying to be Windows, but even if you don't like Windows, you have to admire the feats they have accomplished to even get this far. At the very least, worth trying in a VM just to see what it can do.
Last I tried Syllable it would not boot at all. This was a couple years ago though.

Diagnostics system Advanced setup error

Hi all,
I am configuring solman diagnostics. My system level is Solman 7.0 SPS 16. I have executed Diagnostics system setup wizard and all taskes executed sucessfully.
OS is windows 2003 Server and Java 2 SE 1.4.12 version is installed in the server
When i click on Diagnostics setup> Diagnostics system> Advanced setup, i am getting 500 Internal server error
Failed to Process the request
Following error appears
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.sap.sup.admin.setup.ManagingServices.readMultipleEMs()[Lcom/sap/sup/admin/setup/SysConnectData;
I have installed wily Enterprise manager 7.2.2.0. and
http:<host>:8081/workstation and http:<host>:8081/webview both are opening
kindly help

Hi all,
I want to uninstall the current JAVA j2sdk1.4.2_13 from the diagnostics server and update to JDK 1.6.
I hope the error which i am facing is because of the java version.
Can i directly uninstall from start>settings>control panel--> Add and remove programs --> java 1.4.2.13
then update the jdk 1.6. Will this action affect SAP Solman system in any way.
kindly help

Update rules deactivated only has to open the system..

Hello Experts,
-- ODS and update rules are already in Production.
-- I have made changes to the ODS by adding new Infobjects.
-- activated the update rules.
-- When the ODS and update rules are transported. Update rules get deactivated
-- And a message 'Data target changed, suggestion for the update rules generated'
Detailed message:
Data target was changed. Suggestion for update rules generated
Message no. RSAU287
CAUSE&
The data target has been changed (for example, InfoObjects have been added or deleted).
System response
The update rules have been set to inactive.
Procedure
Check the proposal for the update rules: Newly added key figures or characteristics are updated directly using the source-InfoObject from the InfoSource if the InfoSource contains these InfoObjects. Otherwise, the calculation type is set to 'Routine'. Newly added key figures, data fields, or attributes are set to 'No Update'.
The rules for key figures and for characteristics must be checked and adjusted appropriately.
Detailed message end.........
-- Do not get activated by retransporting. or doing a fresh request of the update rules.
-- Currently the only I can see by opening the system and activating them. Wondering if we have any other alternatives to activate these update rules for the ODS
Any solutions:
-- Wondering if I am missing some procedure to transport.
-- Please feel free to post your views / suggestion in case you had a similar situation before.
Many thanks in advance,
BWer

BWer,
If you collect your transport in a big lump of a single transport, the tranport connection may not organize it in the order of the proper dependency, so it is best to split it to separate transports as stated above to ensure the proper dependencies.
To fix the issue right now, you can either
1) take another transport through of only the updated / activated update rule or
2) if you know what you are doing and if the client is okay with it, open the system, activate the update rule and when prompted for a transport, create a new one and go to SE10 to clean up that repair transport by deleting the subtasks.
I would probably recommend option 1 for you. I only do option 2 if it is an emergency and there is no transport window for another week or longer or it just simply cannot wait.

Best Short and easiest way to open ps ( PostScript) In Linux ?

Can anybody write me stepwise the best way to open postscript files in Linux.What should we install at Linux to open postscript files easily? Which files we are in need to install to open the ps files in Linux Operating System ?
I am new to Linux ! Please also tell me same for pdf files!
Thanks in advance

And as for working with .ps files, the best way I've found to play with them are to use `ps2pdf` to convert them into a PDF and then open them with xpdf or GhostView.
To see if you have these installed, try a `man ps2pdf` from the console, and look for KGhostView under the "Graphics" section of the RedHat (or similar "Start"-like) menu.

How can I disable Firefox from automatically opening on system startup on my Mac - unchecking the "open at login" does not work?

We have Firefox 10.o on our Macbook Pro OS X 10.5.8. I prefer using Firefox as my browser but my husband prefers Safari for now because of a long history of bookmarks and saved information he doesn't have time to re-do. He is tired of Firefox automatically opening when we start up the laptop, and even when we uncheck the "open at login" it still opens at login every time. He is about to uninstall it because of this. How can we disable? It does NOT show up in our account on the Mac OS as an application that starts at login, so we can't disable it there.

For those of you running Windows, I found this on another site. (Unfortunately, not before getting totally disgusted and switching to chrome.)
1. click start (or the windows flag button at the bottom left) 2. in the "search programs and files" or the RUN dialog box, enter "msconfig.exe" or "msconfig". 3. That should open the system configuration program. 4. click the "Startup" tab at the top of the opened program. 5. Under the "startup item" column, look for Mozilla firefox. 6. uncheck that one. 7. Click OK or apply. 8. click "exit without restart". 9. you're good to go.

Unable to open Network System Preferences

When I want to open Network System Preferences I get the message "Your network settings have been changed by another application". When I click "OK" the message keeps reappearing. The only way out is a Force Quit of System Preferences. What does this message mean and what can be done about it?
Maybe it's worth mentioning that I had to reinstall Mac OS a few days ago due to a screwed up security update. Could it have something to do with that? Apart from this my iBook works fine and I have no networking problems.
Thanks for any helpful advice.
Paul

Hi John
That didn't work but thanks anyway.
In the meantime I found another topic under "Mac OS X Tiger" that I had overlooked before dealing with this problem. It obviously has to do with the latest security update.

Safari will no longer open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files.

Safari will no longer open. It just goes back to my desktop. When I right click on the safari icon in my dashboard it says it is open. I was using firefox until I could find a fix for safari. I made the mistake of changing my default search to firebox later for convenience and now I can't open my system preference or many safari or apple linked files. Some of my emails from trusted sites won't open and does the same thing.
I upgraded my original system from 10.4.11 to I believe 10.6. something about a year or so ago. I thought about re installing my safari app but when I go to open anything connected to safari my screen goes back to the desktop. I cant open any files that I have on my desktop that I set up through safari, like my banking program. Prior to changing system preference to safari default I was able to open those files and now I can't get into change it back. Can you guide me through this?
Thanks,
Betty

Try running the 10.6.8 combo update.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
System Preferences or Safari Preferences?
Do a backup.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer one.

How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?

How do I fix that at startup, restart Mavericks 10.9.2 always opens the system preference window?
It is not listed in Login items. I tried all the usual fixes plus Diskwarrior rebuild.
W.W.

I suggest deleting the Canon Network Scanner from Login Items to determine if that is the cause. Not knowing exactly what it does, I suspect it is intended to monitor the printer's supply levels all the time. It's not necessary to do that. You can always determine the printer's ink supply level every time you print something, when its Print dialog appears. You can also check its supply levels by opening System Preferences on your own, and selecting Printers & Scanners.
Bear in mind Login Items is simply a convenience that loads the programs you specify every time you log in. That feature is less important as it had been in the past since Mavericks will re-open everything that was open when you last logged out, if you select this checkbox:
If you want to add the Adobe programs to Login Items again, search for them using Spotlight. The Adobe programs themselves should not be causing this behavior.

Opening a System-Form with selected Data

Hi,
i´m looking for a way to open a System-Form, e.g. Orders with
selected Data.
In the moment i do the following:
     application.ActivateMenuItem("2050"); // orders
     SAPbouiCOM.Form belegForm = application.Forms.ActiveForm;
     belegForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE;
     SAPbouiCOM.EditText edDocNum = (SAPbouiCOM.EditText)belegForm.Items.Item("8").Specific;
     edDocNum.Value = "4711";
     belegForm.Items.Item("1").Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular);
This works, but the screen is blinking, because first the form ist opened and shown with
empty values and then filled.
Is there a way to activate the form and do the search-Operation and afterwards show it ?
I think ist must be possible, because when clicking on the link-Button near CardCode, the Contacts-Form
is opened in this way.
regards Matthias

Hi Ibai,
i have tested both: freeze and form.visible = false in
the form_load-Event. It doesn´t work here.
Also neither the call
   application.ActivateMenuItem("1281"); // find
nor the call
   oForm.Mode = SAPbouiCOM.BoFormMode.fm_FIND_MODE;
work in the form_load-Event.
After the form-Load-Event the et_FORM_ACTIVATE-Event is called.
Here the functions work, but here the screen is already visible.
regards Matthias

My accounts will not open in System Preferences it keeps saying System Preferences quit unexpectedly?!? It will not open at all.

Please HELP! My accounts will not open in System Preferences it keeps saying System Preferences quit unexpectedly?!? It will not open at all.

In the Finder, press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Select the System Preferences icon in that folder and press the key combination command-I to open the Info window. There’s a checkbox in the Info window labeled Open in 32-bit mode. Uncheck it, if checked. Close the Info window and the Applications folder. Test.

How to work with file system in linux within a JSF app?

I use this line in my backing bean to log some events:
FileHandler fhxml = new FileHandler("../webapps/MyWebApp/Log/MyWebAppLog.xml", append);
fhxml.setFormatter(new XMLFormatter());That works fine in windows but when I deploy it in my Tomcat 6 in linux It doesn't work. How can I work with file system in linux?

You should never use relative paths to access the filesystem. The path would be relative to the current working directory which is not per se the same in all environments. To convert a relative web path to an absolute file system path, you need ServletContext#getRealPath(). Use this absolute file system path in the java.io stuff. In a JSF application on top of Servlet API you can get the underlying ServletContext by ExternalContext#getContext().
Alternatively, if the file is located in one of the default paths of the classpath or if its path is added to the classpath, you can also just use ExternalContext#getResource() or even #getResourceAsStream() using just the file name.

I'm trying to open sound effects from the recource page and there's no waveform

I'm trying to open sound effects from the recource page and there's no waveform

What version of Audition are you talking about? Going from memory, there was a change to how things worked (starting at CS6 maybe?) from their being a "resource centre" to a "Download sound effects and more" link on the help menu. Exactly where that leaves owners of earlier versions would, I think, be a question for Adobe, not a user forum (though there are some pretty clever people who visit here.
