Ran sudo rm -rf /
Hi,
So stupid that By mistake i ran Sudo rm -rf / on terminal.
and after few second i realized that i was cleaning the disk completely....
I quit the terminal but i was late...
by then The system Preference and few other application got del, including app store...
I have not configured my time machine for the backup.
I have purchased my macbook pro in Aug and got shipped with the lepord snow, however had a free update to Lion.
I want to restore / reinstall / repair so i can get my mac back to normal.
I have few application like safari still running..
need help
I cannot download app store... or Lion to re-run the OS installation to get things to normal
where can i download app store or latest Lion 10.7.2 OS
Thanks
With Lion there is a built in recovery system. If you have any documents that you need to keep, make sure to back them up as this is going to wipe the disk on your computer. When you start up your computer hold down Command + R. This will bring up the Lion Recovery system. Then you will want to wipe the disk and install a fresh copy of Lion. This should bring back all the applications into place. During the process, if you have any issues you can use Safari to look up the problem. Also, if Lion finds any issues with the Recovery, it will automaticly contact Apple for help.

Sudo whoami says I do not exist
Acrobat X updates want load, and TechTool 7 won't load, ran sudo whoami and it states I do not exist,
so does that mean there is an issue with the root directory, how do I fix it? I am writing form MB Pro the
error is on my iMac.How to maintain a Mac
1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Some are malicious. Use with caution, and install only well-known extensions from relatively trustworthy sources, such as the Safari Extensions Gallery.
Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it. -
I recently upgraded to 10.4.3 and patched the security-009. I noticed that after the sudo process, there is some additional output (date plus some information) which I did not have before. Can someone please let me know why? Thanks in advance.

Gnome Black Screen with Mouse Cursor after Login
I am using Archlinux 64bit with a Gnome Desktop Environment. Everything was running normally uptill today. When i ran "sudo fc-cache", my system froze. I couldnt open any other app but i was able to access terminal. I restarted using "reboot" command. After that I was unable to log in to my desktop.
The Gnome login screen comes and after entering the correct username and password, all I can see is a black screen with mouse cursor. I then started gnome manually with "startx" and it worked. But still I am unable to use normally (that is the graphical login). I reinstalled gdm but it didnt work. Please help me out.there are a lot of processess running... dunno killing which process will not cause a problem
here is the xorg log ( sorry i dont have much knowlegde to analyse it )

Completely broken in Ubuntu: can't access profile
I have a freshly installed Ubuntu 13.04 64bit.
It came with Firefox 20 which was working fine, but was not the latest version.
I ran "sudo apt-get install firefox" and it updated firefox to version 24.
Now Firefox is broken and won't load. It systematically gives the error "Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or unaccessible".
Apparently this is known since may:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1181807
I can't believe such a huge bug is still unfixed after months.
What's the workaround?
How do I fix it and get it to work?
By the way, on my older computer with Ubuntu 13.04 32bit, I had Firefox 24 and it was working just fine.The profile manager doesn't run either. It issues the same error:
"Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or unaccessible".
Something definetly IS broken if a profile gets corrupted by merely updating firefox. (especially considering the profile was almost untouched: I had only run firefox a couple of times)
Additionally, the profile manager is almost useless, if it becomes unusable just because one profile is corrupted (even if there was a legitimate reason for the profile being corrupted in the first place).
Ouch!!!
Now I HAVE deleted prifiles.ini (fortunately there was nothing important in my profile, as it was a fresh new unused profile, so wiping it out would not be a problem in this case), but it STILL doesn't work. -
[Solved] xorg will not start after update
Hi there,
I updated Arch and when I restarted my computer lightdm did not start. I ran systemctl disable lightdm.service and I was able to boot up to a command prompt and login. I tried to start xorg-server by running startx (my .xinitrc file has exec mate-session in it) and I got an error. Here is my xorg log...

It looks like it's trying to start the nouvea driver. The thing is I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
EDIT:
Okay, making progress... I ran sudo modprobe nvidia and my driver loaded. I ran startx and xorg-server started, Hooray! Then my desktop opened and..... froze. Ctl-Alt-F1 did not open another tty, everything was completely frozen. I had to hit the restart switch. Any ideas?
Last edited by necbot (2015-03-27 23:54:13)Okay, I'm not really sure what I did to fix the problem, but it seems to have gone away. I rebooted a few times and had to manually load my nvidia driver using modprobe in order to start xorg-server. My system would still freeze though, then I installed the nouveau driver and started using that and the freezes stopped. I reinstalled the nvidia driver and... everything seems to work fine. I reenabled lightdm service and my desktop loaded with no errors and there have been no system freezes. ????????????? I have no idea why that worked.

[Solved] Xorg Macbook Pro 4,1 Errors
Hello everyone. It's my first time here and I've come with issues that I was hoping to get some help with. After finally getting Arch onto my Macbook Pro 4,1 (Early 2008), I'm stumped with Xorg. For reference, after logging in the first time and setting up my wifi and the base Xorg configuration, I ran:
sudo pacman -S nvidia
sudo pacman -U /mnt/usb/lib32-nvidia-utils-331.20-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz
Long story short, I rebooted as per the instructions then ran:
startx
but received errors. Below is my xorg.conf followed by the Xorg.0.log file. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Error message on startup when non Administrator user
I have installed Premiere Pro CS4 on MAC OS X and run it successfully whilst logged in as Administrator. However when I log in with a standard user account, I get the following message when starting the application:
"The application Premiere Pro quit unexpectedly. Mac OS X and other applications are not affected. Click relaunch to launch the application again. Click report to see more details or send a report to Apple."
I'm assuming this may be a permissions problem, but haven't a clue where to look first. If anyone can throw some light on this matter, it would be very much appreciated.
Tried giving 'everyone' full access to the Premiere folder but that didn't work.
Kind Regards

I used to have sound , all I had to do is run alsamixer and unmute every time I started Arch.
Now, suddenly, I have no sound anymore.
Im already updating my system, but I would love to know what the heck happened; i havent edited anything.

Also, alsamixer lets me turn the volume up/down and also shows the devices. I dont know what's happening.
Im using headphones/speakers that work (tested on another PC).
EDIT: Im thinking the only thing that I did that I dont usually do Is that I ran 'sudo systemctl suspend' and I had no sound. Then I rebooted and I still dont have sound.. I used to have a similar problem but with my wifi connection after a suspension, but it was fixed once I rebooted ( I fixed this by installing wicd and removing the other services )

Wireless configuration for HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer on Ubuntu 10.04
I have bought a HP OfficeJet 6500A plus All-In-One printer CN557A, which I want to use with ubuntu 10.04 64-bit as a wireless network printer.
Before i bought i checked compatibility on www.hplipopensource.org and www.openprinting.org, and all was in order.
The machine is autodetected and fully functional when connected with a usb cable, but i have not managed to get it to work as a wireless printer.
This is what I did:
I configured the printer on the wireless network (through the printer interface), and it connects. It prints out a "Wireless Network Test Report", and everything works. I can ping to its local ip adress, and access it through the browser. HP eprint also works.
I installed hplip 3.11.10 and dependencies manually. I did this because the default hplip in ubuntu 10.04 did not recognise the device.
I ran 'hp-check', which gave no errors or warnings:

1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the
HPLIP supplied tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies
are installed to successfully compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro
supplied package (.deb, .rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball
has the proper dependencies installed to successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode

No errors or warnings.
Done.
I then ran 'sudo hp-setup', chose the device (which was detected), chose my wireless network, entered the wireless security key. On the configuration results dialog I get two messages:
"Your printer has been succesfully configured on the wireless network. You may now unplug the USB cable"
and
"The Ethernet cable is plugged in which will prevent you from connecting to a wireless network. To connect wirelessly, remove the cable and try again. (VSA000)"
There is no ethernet cable plugged in, so i can't remove it. I unplug the USB cable and click 'finish'. This makes the 'hp-setup'-dialog start over again, and the printer has not been installed.
In the terminal i have the following:
tjoff@mek-403-jakbo-01:~$ sudo hp-setup

Done.
I do not how get past this stage, and any help is welcome.
This question was solved.
View Solution.A friendly soul on ubuntuforums pointed out to me, that the wireless configuration is only necessary when the printer is NOT connected to a (W)LAN. So all I really had to do was to configure the printer in the CUPS administation page, and it worked. Problem solved. Silly me.

So my head's swimming with "I dunno's" and I've been perusing probably all the wrong threads trying not to sound like a noob and find the literature that will finally lead me to a solution. This is my first rodeo so make no assumptions about my experience (maybe).
Short Version
I can't login network users. I get an error "You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time. Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory> i.e. /Network/Servers/department.domain.com/Department/Accounts/bbunny
If anyone can point me where to read, I will do so.
Perhaps a longer discussion on how to verify that the proper permissions exist on the share/home directory in question and what those would be.
More detail...
I want to setup a Mac Mini server to have network login accounts stored on the 2nd data volume in a directory we shall call Accounts*. Here all the "network users/logins" have their home directories, so that when they login at the workstation the idea is the workstation will sync their account and allow them to login, if the server is not available, the hope is I can configure it to allow them to login if they've logged in before and the files will sync when they are able. That being the ideal, I get the impression that for best practices, Apple is discouraging the use of mobile accounts that use Home Sync perhaps because it's reliability has been iffy, please advise. A windows user might think of this as "roaming profiles" but, if I understand it, its a little more than that.
Note, I do not want to login to the server and actively work on that network share, I want the account to be local and sync'd as needed. But I want the user to be able to sit at any of the 6 other workstations and see the same documents, emails etc. Obviously if the server is down, it won't be possible to authenticate, but I think it should have cached credentials that should allow the user to login if the server is down and still go about their work.
This is the small picture...there is a larger picture that involves, parallel virtual machines of Windows Server 2008 R2 on server and and Windows 7 on the client, ical, ichat and perhaps wiki's.
I apologize for the roughness of this question, in the interest of brevity, I have plenty of problems that led me here that I can expound upon if asked.
Also a silly question someone might know the answer too, Why does the login payload settings that I have pushed to a workstation device, sometimes vanish inconsistently upon logout?Ok, Some Good news and clearer understanding to disseminate in this post I hope it helps
"the Universe" so I am posting it here in my "ever-the-noob" blog on apple forums.
Problem
What do you do when you get an error when logging into a mobile account setup?
One symptom would be the error message below...
"You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console You get the message…
"No home directory: <path to home directory>"
or
"You are unable to log in to the user account "<%short_name%>" at this time.
Logging in using >console tells me this No home directory: <path to home directory>
Solution
Do the check list…
Short Version
Sever Admin.app > Access (Key Component)
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(The reason stuff doesn't work especially when you're rebuilding/recovering a server)
File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
( Do not underestimate the importance of this part!!!!
Use white-gloves when you're handling it though!!! )
Workgroup Manager
(You're poopy "main" interface that really is a "window", not a "door", but maybe Apple likes to do things "Dukes of Hazard" style?)
Long Version
Check Sever Admin.app > Access
Make sure that your user has the "Proper" access. For me I created a test user from Server.app and saw what access he had as a way to "check myself for a properly created users" and because I think one is kind of on his/her own using WGM and duplicated the same access. (I was a little neater, though and did it with a group, not individual users, that would have been a mess!)
Server Admin.app > Access
Click the "+" sign, sort by UID and Add the imported users to the following Services…
( You can use a group, but understand when Server.app creates users they get added
individually to each of these groups. )
Address Book
AFP
iCal
iChat
Mail
Profile Manager
SMB
VPN
Check Permissions on directories for your file shares.
(That's an understatement) I could go in depth about all the crap I had to read about, I still
know I am missing a chunk of tech brain when it comes to the particulars. Basically, I boil
it down to this…
Permissions require thinking about things first with regards to POSIX permissions... good
ole ls, chmod, chgrp, chown to the rescue with ugo permissions or the old 755, 600 etc
stuff.
Apple's file-sharing access uses this as a starting point to see what the user is allowed to
access.
I also needed to use chflags once to unhide a file that I mucked around with using xattr.
I still haven't figured out why folders can lose their triangles, but I didn't find out if you cp or
move them from terminal, the triangles come back in the moved or copied directory. For a
minute I thought it was because cp alone doesn't preserve flag attributes, but mv actually
works by doing a cp that preserves the flags, unless it's a bug. I dunno.
This helped me get my file visible again...
chflags hidden path_to_file
chflags nohidden path_to_file
Read up on those manuals, if you're not a terminal type go to apples website
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/
or download...
http://www.bruji.com/bwana/ I thought that was cool.
or if you prefer to read the manual in pdf try…
man -t sharing | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/Sharing\ Manual.pdf
man -t chown | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHOWN\ Manual.pdf
man -t chmod | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHMOD\ Manual.pdf
man -t chgrp | pstopdf -i -o ./Desktop/CHGRP\ Manual.pdf
My basic guideline was avoid using ACLs if at all possible, if you try to use them, things
can get crazy complicated, take notes and plan, baby. If you read above, opening up
permissions wide is wrong though. You would restrict permissions tightly to begin with and
then place ACE (Access Control Entries) to specifically target the rights you want to enable.
Here's one that's obviously a novice attempt to do this, but since the novice is the only one
speaking…. here it is, Universe… >:P
sudo chmod -R +ai "admin allow read,write,delete,file_inherit,directory_inherit,search,list" Department/
That allowed my admin to do all the things a normal user could do so far… It fixed things for
my admin, which made me happy. I really hate having to authenticate or sudo just to see
the contents of a nested directory. I could explain it, and even give a few notes on why its
probably overkill, but I will attempt to look less stupid till "poked".
There's another command line utility I STILL haven't read, which may bear mentioning
because…well I haven't read it. umask (see wikipedia or unix.com)…I worked past my
problems without going into it so far, but obviously it's there, and it serves a purpose.
I also found this article helpful…and educational. :O
http://www.bresink.de/osx/300321023/Docs-en/pgs/ACL.html
( Its enlightening to hear the air whistling between a developer/coder's ears, still it's
apparent he has a clear idea what's going on.
Ever wonder why when you use get info to check or assign permissions it kind of
flakes out and doesn't take? Read this article! )
Second, if you can't obtain the "specific" permissions you need with POSIX, chmod also
can set the 2nd category of permissions, which windows users may be familiar with
Access Control Lists (ACLs) and here you get some really fine granularity...messy stuff.
All in all, if I felt I could guide you through these murky waters, I would, but I think I'll let
the professionals weigh in on that one and cut my wall-of-text to ribbons.
To heuristically check I would connect from a client as one or two of my users and see what
folders I could mount as a share, armored with an understanding of what ls -le@O * showed
me in Terminal.
3.) File sharing setup (Turned ON, Home sharing Enabled)
Here is an example of using command line sharing utility where each share is properly
labeled (that took a bit for me to figure out) still this share only enables the AFP share as
you can see from my flags.
sudo sharing -a /Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Database -A Database-afp -F Database-ftp -S Database-smb -n Database -s 100 -g 000 -i 10
Then you do a sudo sharing -l and get back what you just did…
List of Share Points
name: Database
path: /Volumes/Hard Drive/Department/Database
afp: {
name: Database-afp
shared: 1
guest access: 0
inherit perms: 1
ftp: {
name: Database-ftp
shared: 0
guest access: 0
smb: {
name: Database-smb
shared: 0
guest access: 0
If you mess up the sharing command, you may not be paying attention (I wasn't) but there
are a lot of defaults that Apple will just assume you meant to do anyway and it won't read
any of your flags, you have to get it right or the flags will be defaulted.
( Basically I could tell I was bombing it for one, I explicitly only wanted afp working, but
the default was afp and smb. So each time I ran sudo sharing -l after I shot my sharing
command…back would come smb shared: 1 and I knew that wasn't right. Also my
custom names were defaulting to the name of the directory not the name I had
specified. )
I like to know what protocol my share is over so when it doesn't work, I know which protocol's
are connecting. It's not full-proof, but it's a bookmark. I wish the network browser would
identify the protocol that its available listed shares are using, because small visual queues
like that help when you're trying to see what works. Maybe that's something I should
investigate via the command line?
As a note about reading forums, I discovered using command line that "\" is kind of like a
way of going to next line neatly with long commands…."\ " is a way to insert a space. As you
can see above where I have a volume with a space in it.
Removing shares was a little trickier though, sharing -r Share\ With-space didn't work….I
had to enclose it in quotes and do "Share With-space" instead. So nooby beware!
( *nix users are now rolling their eyes at this tip. )
I wasn't sure how you enabled a share for home directories from the command line, maybe its
in the manual, but I was up to my eyeballs in manuals already so I haven't gone back to
revisit this question since my work around was to go to Server.app and verify that what I set
up in the sharing in terminal was being reflected in the gui…sort of my own MVC
(model-view-controller) check.
4.) Directory Utility > Directory Editor or dscl
Make sure what you see in WGM and Server.app are reflected here….to that question let's
take a journey where I did some exploring about that.
Ever really wonder "WHY CAN"T I REMOVE AN OLD HOME DIRECTORY SHARE?!!!"
Ah, then you will - LOVE - this tip…
( Provided my testing or yours, later, doesn't prove that in my ignorance I've broken
Open Directory. Remember, WHITEGLOVES!!!! but here we get a little dirty. I think of
OD as Apple's Registry, but that's not what it is at all. However, you as the user do have
to "****" around in it from time to time. )
I scoured the forums and everyone was saying things like "You have to change your server
role" etc. which seemed a little bit dumb to me (dumb because you're pushing views around
not "controlling"), and well, yea, that share that I couldn't modify or delete was REALLY
bugging me.
Now hmm… Before you do ANYTHING, how do you try to not hurt yourself…in Windows you
can make a Registry Backup….(yea bad analogy) In Server Admin.app you can go to your Open
Directory Service > Archive and Choose a place to Archive your information. (Figure this out by
yourself, this is getting long…sheesh! It's easy. Restoring is just as easy and painless.)
Before we can remove the entry we "SEE" in WGM we should make sure no
one has it selected so as not to "corrupt" the OD db, so in WGM first before going to Directory
Utility set the Home directory to "None". (We need to remember to set this to a correct share
later….Mental Note!!!)
Now Open Directory Utility
Method 1
System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login Options
Click the Lock to make changes…
Authenticate -> click "OK" (do I REALLY have to step-by-step this?)
Network Account Sever: • Local Server - click "Edit" button here.
Open Directory Utility > Directory Editor
( Wow, did Apple hire someone from Microsoft? You'ld think with all their research in to
Human Interface Design that's WAY too many clicks to get to something you need. )
or
Method 2 (It's good to know about this directory, neat-o speed-o app's hidden here.)
Use "Go to Folder" Under Finder > Go > Go to Folder...
⇧⌘G /System/Library/CoreServices/
Click "OK"
and Double click Directory Utility.app
or
Method 3
Terminal
open /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app/
Now From the Directory Editor Pane you will see a Pop-up menu Labeled "Viewing"
You should glance through this and get to know it. You should use it to see what
information is really being stored about your Users, Groups, Mounts…
We are interested in Mounts, which is where we want to go…and there is the pesky
mount that you will see reflected in WGM.
Authenticate, and delete the bugger.
Quit WGM and restart it. Voila, bad share is GONE!!!!!
a.) First select all my users
b.) Then I clicked on the "+" and added the correct share
( Remember, I only showed you the first one we created, this is another and
for THIS one you HAVE to go into Server.app and verify that it is set to be
available for Home Directories in this case for AFP. )
For the home directory entry you do this...
afp://computer.domain.com/Accounts-afp
%short_name%
/Network/Servers/computer.domain.com/Volumes/Hard\ Drive/Department/Accounts/%short_name%
%short_name% is a wild card for the short name there are other wild cards check out Apple's
Documentation on them. I lost the link sorry \<shrug\>
Interesting dscl commands…(check it out in command line form and compare side by side with
what you see in the GUI Directory Utility)
dscl . list /users
dscl . list /groups
If you want to output information about each user, though, use readall:
dscl . readall /users
dscl . readall /groups
And if you need to programatically parse said information, use -plist to make your life easier:
dscl -plist . readall /users
dscl -plist . readall /groups
This made a little more direct sense to me, language wise…but fyi "." is kind of a wild card I think so the first
commands I think look in ALL directories local, Search, LDAP whatever you have. The command here
corresponds to the Entry from the Pop-up menu "…in node > Blah…" see GUI of Directory Utility to confirm.
dscl /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 -list /Users
dscl /Local/Default -list /Users
5.) Workgroup Manager
Remember this is a utility that is not long for this world. Apple's Mountain Lion is rumored to fully
replace it, why? Yea, Apple's making a go at MDM (Mobile Device Management) and somehow
desktop computers are being pulled/dragged along for the ride. I have plenty of issues with
Profile Manager, but I'll likely revisit it in a couple of months and see where we stand.
Anyway, treat this baby like the bottom rung, because, well it is built like you start your
foundation here, but it's just a viewer with controlling "tweaks". Use the other areas to get a solid
grasp of what is actually going on. Server.app is where you should create accounts you can
feel are safe. When you create accounts in WGM, you are responsible for making sure they
have the appropriate EVERYTHING.
This list is by no means complete, but these are the areas this noob is or was prepared to talk about.
Good night for now. Enjoy climbing my wall of text, and yea sorry about that. :O Run for you lives!!!!

Hwmond high cpu load after 10.6.8 update
hwmond is causing up to 70% cpu load after every reboot on several xserves i manage caused by the update to 10.6.8. anybody else having this problem? it can be solved by hwmond -s5 to set the hwmond interval to 5 seconds but this command is not processed properly, is causing an error message "IOConnectMethodScalarIScalra0 call return err = 0xE00002BC" and has to be exited with cmd+c. Also, the com.apple.hwmond.plist in LaunchDaemons is empty.
In my case:
I installed 10.6.8 via the Combo Update, was running 10.6.7 previous to this.
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist still exists and is not empty
/etc/hwmond.SMART still exists and is not empty
/etc/hwmond.conf didn't exist, so from Terminal.app I simply issued "sudo touch /etc/hwmond.conf"
I tried:
In Terminal.app, ran:sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
Then, backed up /usr/sbin/hwmond and /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
From a Mac Pro running 10.6.7 Server, copied both the binary and the plist to the same spots on the Xserve, then, in Terminal.app, ran:sudo launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
That didn't change a thing. hwmond still spiked.
Put everything back the way it was.
And:
In Terminal.app, ran:sudo launchctl unload /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
Backed up /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
Made another copy to the Desktop
Edited this copy and added a string in ProgramArguments with a value of "-S255", but this still caused hwmond to spike after putting this copy back in LaunchDaemons, repairing permissions, and loading the plist via launchctl again. Any valid value still caused it to spike. However my Xserve now reboots if I set the value to an invalid value, like "-s256". Then again this also caused com.apple.hwmond and com.apple.launchd to create entries in the system log complaining about the value with hwmond attempting to relaunch itself every 10 seconds:
6/24/11 2:37:10 PM com.apple.hwmond[2697] hwmond: n should be 1 to 255 seconds
6/24/11 2:37:10 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.hwmond[2697]) Exited with exit code: 1
6/24/11 2:37:10 PM com.apple.launchd[1] (com.apple.hwmond) Throttling respawn: Will start in 10 seconds
OP, Armin, did something similar, but I think he tried doing it directly in Terminal, not using launchctl / launchd, which caused the error he mentioned.
Finally, added a "Disabled" item, with a boolean value of YES to the plist, recopied it, repaired permissions again (launchctl will complain and won't load the plist if you don't). This way hwmond is disabled, I can reboot my Xserve, and wait until Apple figures this out.
Full com.apple.hwmond.plist on my Xserve looks like this now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.apple.hwmond</string>
<key>OnDemand</key>
<false/>
<key>Program</key>
<string>/usr/sbin/hwmond</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>hwmond</string>
<string>-s255</string>
</array>
<key>ServiceIPC</key>
<false/>
<key>Disabled</key>
<true/>
</dict>
</plist>
Edit: I too have filed a bug report with a link to this thread included.
Second Edit: Server Monitor.app still works after disabling hwmond via the plist even after a reboot.
Third Edit: Sorry, keep remembering things, a modified /usr/sbin/hwmond was included the 10.6.8 Server Combo Update package, but not the Delta. Not sure if this matters. How has everyone updated to 10.6.8 so far? Like I mentioned, I used the Combo. -
Plymouth doesn't work [SOLVED]
Hello!
Plymouth doesn't work.
I installed plymouth, added plymouth to HOOKS array in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf file, added "quiet splash" to /etc/default/grub file and ran "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" followed by "sudo plymouth-set-default-theme -R solar".
File /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES=""
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=""
# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
# HOOKS="base udev block lvm2 filesystems"
## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
# usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS="base udev plymouth autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck nvidia"
# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

No sucess. Any help?

I don't need to run mkinitcpio -p linux if I ran plymouth-set-default-theme -R solar.
See the following terminal output:
