Possible issue with partitions?

I clean installed 10.5 on a blank internal partition. I have installed nothing else on it. The other partition on the internal drive is my main bootable 10.4.10 with all the programmes I use.
Having successfully booted up on the 10.5 partition I was looking through the various menus and noticed that the services menu was reporting options related to programmes on the 10.4.10 partition.
Is this normal??

I don't know, Sebastian. This is my first major OS upgrade on my 17" MBP, too.
I found a great tutorial on how to install Leopard onto an external Firewire drive, which I am doing right now. I just wanted to keep things "separate" until we see what glitches may arise.
If you're interested, the URL for the process is at...

What's possible issue with original Airport?

Hi,
I recently just purchased a used Powerbook G4 867 512M and installed an original airport card. The signal strength indicator seems to flicker in and out from no strength to highest but mainly resting at the "second" bar strength. This laptop is sitting next to a G4 tower which is getting full strength. Is there a possible issue with my laptops connectivity? Should I re-seat the airport card? What could be the issue?
Thanx in advance.

Hi,
Duane. Althoughity, I didn't verify whether the card had any physical connectivity issues, I don't think that is the problem. I made the simple move in location and that seem to have change the "bar" strength. I guess where I was was not a good area for network connectivity. Thanks for possible solutions and causes.

Insert performance issue with Partitioned Table.....

Hi All,
I have a performance issue during with a table which is partitioned. without table being partitioned
it ran in less time but after partition it took more than double.
1) The table was created initially without any partition and the below insert took only 27 minuts.

2) Now I re-created the table with partition(range yearly - below) and the same insert took 59 minuts.
Is there anyway i can achive the better performance during insert on this partitioned table?

I'm concerned about the view in step 2 and the index join in step 3. A composite index with both columns might eliminate the index join and result in fewer read operations.
If you know which partition the data is going into beforehand you can save a little bit of processing by specifying the partition (which may not be a scalable long-term solution) in the insert - I'm not 100% sure you can do this on inserts but I know you can on selects.
The APPEND hint won't help the way you are using it - the VALUES clause in an insert makes it be ignored. Where it is effective and should help you is if you can do the insert in one query - insert into/select from. If you are using the loop to avoid filling up undo/rollback you can use a bulk collect to batch the selects and commit accordingly - but don't commit more often than you have to because more frequent commits slow transactions down.
I don't think there is a nologging hint :)
So, try something like
insert /*+ hints */ into ...
Select
     A.Ing_Acct_Nbr, currency_Symbol,
     Balance_Date,     Company_No,
     Substr(Account_No,1,8) Account_No,
     Substr(Account_No,9,1) Typ_Cd ,
     Substr(Account_No,10,1) Chk_Cd,
     Td_Balance,     Sd_Balance,
     Sysdate,     'Sisadmin'
From Ideaal_Cons.Tb_Account_Master_Base A,
     Ideaal_Staging.Tb_Sisadmin_Balance B
Where A.Vendor_Acct_Nbr = Substr(B.Account_No,1,8)
   And A.Vendor_Cd = b.company_no

Possible Issues with Duplicate Training Database?

Hello everyone!
First off, please forgive my ignorance! I've only been working with databases lightly over the last couple of years, and thus far only with MySQL and MS SQL.
Recently the company I work for purchased a new software package that required Oracle. We purchased a copy of Oracle 10.2 as part of the deal and the company that sold it to us, and set it up for us, has denied us dev access to the database, on our server, because it would expose their underlying data schema. I wasn't in change when the decision was made and we spent the money on a crippled copy of Oracle, but that's in the past.
Because we don't have dev access to Oracle we're unable to create a training database for this new software in house. We have to pay this company to create a test environment for us. I was told it would cost $500, until the tech said he was going to install Oracle on our training server.
At this point I stopped him and said at $500 they'll either be breaching their licensing agreement, or giving us a free copy! The other possibility is that they were going to install this and then just bill us for Oracle later on, despite quoting the job at $500.
The tech who was about to do the installation went to check with someone more senior and then returned to inform me that installing the second copy of Oracle would indeed require more licensing fees.
This verified what I already had told him, and I said we want a training database on our existing Oracle server, and then training copies of the new software can just point to that training database.
He now needs to take time with the more senior technicians while they're "analyzing the existing database server/environment". He was trying to talk me out of installing a training database on the existing server, and instead buying another copy of Oracle, which I believe to be a total cash grab. He had no solid reason why he couldn't do it, but refused to anyway and said he needs to talk to a more senior tech (the same one who said that yes, we'll need to purchase a second copy of Oracle rather than use a second database on the existing server).
So, these two databases, one live data and one a duplicate of that live data used in a training environment where changes won't be reported against, should be able to exist peacefully should they not? The same version of the same software accessing the same data from the same server, just a different database, shouldn't present any problems with my limited knowledge of Oracle! There will only ever be maybe 5 connections to the training environment at a time, and the server should be able to currently handle twice as many users connected as it's current maximum (edit: expected) load.
I know this wouldn't be a problem with MySQL, or MS SQL, and Oracle is a superior database package, so can anyone think of any legitimate reason that might back up the claim that having that duplicate database will be a problem?
Thanks in advance for any guidance here!

Thank you very much John!
We have a per user license and I don't expect our training needs to exceed even a half dozen people at a time to start (A small, significant, fraction of the initial user base). In the future we can easily recommission other resources, or purchase more. The whole project is in the earlier stages anyway, so the needs are smaller now (but the money we spend on licensing could be recurring).
I understand the requirements angle from a server perspective, but those points you brought up drill down into what I need to know a bit more.
I doubt rollback segments would be necessary, I was thinking more along the lines of scheduled replication/duplication of the production database on a weekly or monthly basis, just to keep the material at least somewhat up to date.
I also don't think temporary table space would put much load on storage either, at least in the long run.
RAM isn't much an issue with a 64 bit version running either, for our needs now at least.
My instinct, and what you mention about even potential impact of altering the existing database schema enforces this, is that it's basically safer to create a separate database, but less resource intensive to alter the schema of an existing Oracle database to suit training needs (in this situation, maybe, making some vague assumptions about software probably), if done correctly (although still carrying risks).
I do wish I had the time to read up on this more now, and I will as soon as I have the time.
I probably will download 10g express edition to familiarize myself a bit more now, as soon as I come up with an application for it, to at least try out whatever I read.
Thanks for the advice

Possible Issue with Latest Office 2001 Update

In the last few days my MB Air mid-2013 with Mavericks did an Office 2011 update to Version 14.3.9. Today I used it for the first time and Excel crashed each time I tried to use it. To get the job done I had to revert to the earlier build (version 14.3.8) from a backup and that appears to work normally.
I don't know if this is an issue with Mavericks or if the update to 14.3.9 would have crashed with ML, too. Nor do I know if Word would have crashed since I had to get the task in Excel done before an appointment.

Apparently cannot edit the above. Title should have Office 2011, not Office 2001

Possible issue with DFS and CSC error 80070035

I have a handful of users who have a strange, recurring issue with Offline Files and DFS in Win7 SP1 x64.
We have a DFS root \\domain.local\DFS. Server ukln1fs1 is a root replica, running a fully patched instance of Server 2012 R2. dfsnamespace is a DNS alias of ukln1fs1, and the SPNs for host/dfsnamespace<.domain.local>
and cifs/dfsnamespace<.domain.local> are registered with that server.
Clients have the Documents folder redirected by GPO to
\\dfsnamespace\DFS\-teamfolder-\-username-\docs and redirection works fine.
Sometimes when clients are disconnected from the network and then reconnect, or when they start up disconnected from the network and then connect, they are unable to connect to
\\dfsnamespace\dfs. They get error 80070035. Clients can connect to
\\dfsnamespace fine and to the individual shared within the DFS structure. This affects all users on the computer once it has begun occurring, and the only resolution is to restart the computer whilst connected to the domain.
Kerberos is using TCP (MaxPacketSize 0)
LanManServer & LanManWorkstation signing requirements match (EnableSecuritySignature 1, RequireSecuritySignature 0)
Have used FormatDatabase on the CSC service to rebuild the offline files cache.
Latest hotfixes for Win7 file services and offline files components are installed: KB2775511 (enterprise hotfix rollup), all latest hotfixes from KB2820927 (collection of enterprise hotfixes including offline files and folder redirection components), all
latest hotfixes from KB2473205 (file server technology services).
Adapters & bindings order has the SSL VPN adapter at the top followed by the NIC then the wifi adapter. IPv4 is a the higher priority protocol in adapters & bindings.

Please have a look at this blog (DFSN and DFSR-RO interoperability), it may help you somehow.

[ Solved ] Issue with Partitioning (setting the boot flag)

I've tried to install Arch a few times. I always seem to run into this issue which affects me later on.
fdisk (fdisk /dev/sda) doesn't provide me with the ability to set the boot flag on any of the partitions. Therefore I have issues when I get to the bootloader bit. (intend to use grub)
When I use cfdisk (cfdisk /dev/sda), while its help does say pressing 'b' will toggle the flag, in all images I've seen of what cfdisk should look like there has been a column marked 'Flags' - that isn't present for me. So, I have no way of knowing if it actually gets set, though I doubt it does.
Partition Table is GPT.
Though,
fdisk -l gives
Disk /dev/sda ~465.8 GiB
Disk /dev/loop0 ~278.2 MiB //Not entirely sure what loop0 and loop1 are...
Disk /dev/loop1 ~32 GiB
Disk /dev/mapper... //the live image.
I'm probably just making a simple mistake - though I have no idea what. Help?
(Ruling out other errors, using latest dual architecture image, (using 86_64 UEFI) on this system; Asus X99 Pro, Core i7 5820k, 16GB RAM, ~500GB SSD, generic video card).
Last edited by AndyWM (2015-06-10 17:21:20)

It's okay - I just decided to follow the beginner's guide again. It recommend the use of parted for GPT when using UEFI. So I just did that, I also went for gummiboot as the bootloader. Never used it before, but it seems to do the job...
Did forget to create a user though, so I'll have to log in as root and do that.
Anyway, I'll mark this as solved.

[SOLVED] Possible issue with makepkg or gnupg 2.1???

I am quite willing to admit that it's possible I'm totally stupid and missing something basic, but I just wanted to see if this makes any sense to you folks. Basically, I'm wondering if there's a regression in makepkg or gpg-agent with GnuPG 2.1.
Step 1: Verify the condition of my personal keyring.
gpg -k | grep Xyne
No results. Good.
Step 2: Verify the condition of pacman's keyring.
sudo pacman-key --list-keys | grep Xyne
No results. Good
Step 3: Use pacman-key (NOT my local GPG keyring) to import Xyne's key and trust it.
sudo pacman-key --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
sudo pacman-key -u
Step 4: Try to install pm2ml, signed by Xyne, and use makepkg to verify that yaourt is NOT the problem. This will not work.
yaourt -G pm2ml
cd pm2ml
makepkg -s
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz ... FAILED (unknown public key 1D1F0DC78F173680)
Step 5: Check that I'm not crazy.
sudo gpg --homedir=/etc/pacman.d/gnupg --verify pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz.sig
gpg: WARNING: unsafe permissions on homedir '/etc/pacman.d/gnupg'
gpg: assuming signed data in 'pm2ml-2014.12.31.tar.xz'
gpg: Signature made Tue 30 Dec 2014 05:55:07 PM MST using RSA key ID 8F173680
gpg: Good signature from "Xyne. (key #3) <[email protected]>" [full]
Step 6: Import Xyne's key into my local GnuPG keyring, which I should definitely not have to do:
gpg --recv-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
gpg --lsign-key EC3CBE7F607D11E663149E811D1F0DC78F173680
makepkg -s
Makepkg will work at this point. I have tried this three times, and I can duplicate it 100% of the time.
Is my configuration messed up, or can anybody else duplicate this? I'm wondering if the gpg-agent since GnuPG 2.1 doesn't switch home directories or something and refuses to see a new key even though I just imported it? It seems like the key and the signature are both clearly valid, but I can only get Xyne's package to verify using makepkg if I import his key into my ~/.gnupg keyring.
Again, I could be totally stupid, but I legitimately do think there might be a bigger issue.
Thanks.

Okay, sorry! I didn't know that was intended behavior. That actually makes me a lot happier.
It just didn't seem intuitive to me that I would have to add the developer's public key to my own keyring rather than to pacman's keyring. Almost guides I had previously read previously said I needed to use pacman-key to import the public key.
This thread can be marked as solved, because there is no issue.

Jedi Academy 1.01e Multiplayer Freezes iMac - Possible issue with Leopard?

Just migrated everything over from my old iMac G4 17" to the new Intel iMac, Jedi Academy single and multiplayers seem to be freezing my iMac hard. I have downloaded the UB patch (1.01e) from Aspyr, made sure all Apple software was up to date, done a clean install after clearing out all the prefs/.plists for it and it will still lock up.
This occours trying to run Multiplayer, it gets to either 'Awaiting Snapshot' or just joins the server and the system freezes.
I've been working with Aspyr's technical support, initially they could not get the problem to happen in single player but when they tried multiplayer they experienced the same problem of it freezing the computer. They have passed it on to their Dev team as a possible Leopard problem but figured I'd mention this here as well in case other users have this issue.

Cannot say, can you use Real Player until it is solved, or flip for mac?

Unmovable file issue with partitions in Windows 7

I am using Thinkpad SL510, and I am attempting to shrink the C drive to create a new partition. My available space on C: is about 270 gigabytes, but the computer will only let me shrink this to about 160 gigabytes available, whether using Shrink Volume in Win7 or a special program. I tried removing unmovable files (paging file and shadow copy storage area) as suggested by Win7 help, but this did not allow me to shrink the drive any further. Is anyone aware of a Lenovo-specific unmovable file that might be found on the C drive?
Thanks.
Moderator note; subject edited

In addition to disabling system protection and choose "no paging file" did you also try to disable hibernation that will remove the hiberfil.sys? You can disable hibernation with the command "powercfg -h off" and then re-enable with "powercfg -h on" after the shrink.
If that doesn't help there are programs that can show you where the files are located on the hdd as well as show if they are unmovable or not. Then you might find out the reason why you are unable to make the current partition smaller than 160gb available.

Possible issue with MSI Live Update 5

Hi guys, purchased a brand new MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G GPU from Scan.co.uk just before Christmas.
Whilst playing around with GPUz i happened to notice that my card appears to have had at least one new BIOS for it (possibly two) since release. I downloaded MSI Live Update 5 from your site and ran the tool however it reports my GPU BIOS Version as unknown and doesn't find any BIOS updates for my card.
Just wondering why this would be and if i can get a link to the latest BIOS and instructions on how to manually flash.
My system specs are as follows
AMD FX8350 @ 4.8Ghz 1.55v / Corsair H100 Cooler
ASUS Sabertooth R990FX R2.0
16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz CL9 @ 1866Mhz CL9,9,9,24-2T
MSI R9 280X Gaming 3G
2 x Sandisk Ultra 256GB SSDs in RAID 0
Fractal Design Define XL R2
If you need any further info please let me know. Thanks

First off this is a Users-to-Users Forum not MSI tech support if you wanted to address them. Don't use LU5 as it is quite buggy. You can't see if there are new vbios versions available as you can't compare gpu-z numbers or such. Different batches of the same model can use different vbios versions which have different (higher or lower) version numbers. A higher version number might be a different not newer vbios. To check your S/N and a copy of your current vbios is required.

Issue with partitions

Hi all,
So I had Tiger and BootCamp installed on my MacBook. Then I installed BootCamp and Ubuntu Linux. I had 3 partitions, one for /, one for /home and one for the swap.
After successfully installing Leopard, I wanted to get rid of Ubuntu. So I tried to start BootCamp, but it told me that the startup disk is not supported.
So, afterwards, I have used the Disk Utility to delete the / and the /home Linux partitions and created 2 HFS+ partitions and afterwards I have made only one out of these 2. So now I have the Linux swap and another HFS+ volume (besides the main one where Leopard is installed).
Now the problem is with the Linux swap volume. I have tried to delete it using Disk Utility but it just doesn't work. When I try to erase it, nothing happens. So the first question is, how do I delete it? Is there any other disk utility software I can use under Leopard that can delete this volume?
Then assuming I manage to do this, is there then a way to just merge all the space that I will have back in the main Macintosh HD volume without destroying everything on it and having to re-install Leopard?
Many thanks and regards,
Stelian Iancu

ipartition might be able to do it for you:
http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iPartition.php
I own it. It Rocks!
You might first try to erase the volume using DU on the command line:
Macpro7:~ kjk$ diskutil eraseVolume
Disk Utility Tool
Usage: diskutil eraseVolume format name MountPoint|DiskIdentifier|DeviceNode
Completely erase an existing volume. Ownership of the affected disk is
required. Format is the specific filesystem name you want to erase it as
(HFS+, etc.). Name is the (new) volume name (subject to filesystem naming
restrictions), or can be specified as %noformat% to skip initialization
(newfs). You cannot erase the boot volume.
Example: diskutil eraseVolume UFS %noformat% /Volumes/SomeDisk
Valid filesystems: "Journaled HFS+" "HFS+" "Case-sensitive HFS+" "Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" "HFS" "MS-DOS FAT16" "MS-DOS FAT32" "MS-DOS FAT12" "MS-DOS" "UDF" "UFS" "ZFS"

Cups software possible issue with headphones

Im not even sure how to word this correctly, but I have a user who uses Bose headphones to listen to music online. This user also uses the Cups software to take calls from the 7942 IP Phone. What happens is when the user takes a call it will stop the music as it should, but when the call is over it doesnt go back to the music. Is there a setting in Call Manager or the software to check? Why wouldn't it go back to regular functions on the computer through the headphones?

I don't think On Screen Dispay is designed for W8. I installed it but had to do with Compatibility settings but did not see a battery drain.
The intel management I disabled in BIOS and never install since I don't have a subscription to the service.
Glad you solved the issue.

Help Installing Leopard and issues with partition maps.

Hi, i've been trying to install leopard on my MacPro G5 to no avail, as my super-drive had failed, i've tried pulling out the HDD and mounting it via an external enclosure and connecting the mounted HDD to my Intel based mac and installing Leopard from a disc running from my Intel based mac to the mounted HDD from my MacPro.
The problem i've encountered is with the partition maps, OSX installer does not allow me to install Leopard onto the external HDD with Apple Partition Map and insists i re-partition it as GUID which i can't do so as it'll mean i wouldn't be able to boot it from my MacPro G5, thus i'm wondering if anyone have an idea on how to get Leopard installed in such circumstances.
Thanks!

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
First, let's get the terms straight.
There is a Mac Pro, which is an Intel processor, using EFI and utilizing the GUID partition map.
There is a G5, which is a PPC processor, using Open Firmware and the APM scheme.
There is no Mac Pro G5
A Mac Pro can use an APM mapped drive to boot from, but cannot install an OS to it.
In order to install an OS to a drive while installed in or connected to a Mac Pro, the drive must be formatted using the GUID scheme.
A G5 must use an APM formatted drive to boot.
To install Leopard on a G5, one must use a retail version of Leopard (not a gray disc that shipped with an Intel Mac), boot to the install disc, format the drive and install.

Possible issue with Quicktime and VLC

OK,I had updated my Quicktime(7.4)a couple weeks ago and ever since I can't seem to play any avi or mov files with VLC player. Most of the time I get audio but no picture. The error I get after about 5 seconds is "macosx: QT doesn't support any appropriate chroma" Anyone have an idea on how to remedy the problem? I try playing the avi and mov files in Quicktime but they're very choppy.

Suggest that you also post over in the VLC Forums.
