Reader X breaks system

In Windows 7, with Acrobat Pro 8 installed and operating nicely, the update to X disabled Firefox's ability to ready PDFs.
Reader X will not uninstall, nor will it re-install.
Suggestions?
Thank you -- Tony

I was forced to upgrade Firefox to 5.x, which then allowed me to "see" both the X and 8.3 plugins and select which I want to operate. Firefox 5.x also allowed the disabling of plugins, which the earlier version did not.
It is very annoying that in Windows 7 one cannot uninstall Adobe Reader X. The Adobe installer says that the program is being used by Adobe Reader X, even when all browsers and Adobe instances are closed, and drops out of the uninstall.

  • TCP Read Locks up System

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to read a line from a TCP Socket using the following code, but for some reason, it locks up my system. Can anyone explain why?

  • Crashes and read-only file systems

    Notice: I apolgize for the long post, I've tried to be as thorough as possible.  I have searched everywhere for possible solutions, but things I've found end up being temporary workarounds or don't apply to my situation.  Any help, even as simple as, "have you checked out XYZ log, it's hidden here", would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
    I'm not sure what exactly caused the issues below, but they did start to happen within a day of running pacman -Syu.  I hadn't run that since I first installed Arch on December 2nd of this year.
    Setup:
    Thinkpad 2436CTO
    UEFI/GPT
    SSD drive
    Partitions: UEFISYS, Boot, LVM
    The LVM is encrypted and is broken up as: /root, /var, /usr, /tmp, /home
    All LVM file systems are EXT4 (used to have /var and /tmp as ReiserFS)
    The first sign that something was wrong was gnome freezing.  Gnome would then crash and I'd get booted back to the shell with all filesystems mounted as read-only.  I started having the same issues as this OP:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704
    At the time, I had /var and /tmp as ReiserFS, and would also get reiserfs_read_locked_inode errors.
    When shutting down (even during non-crashed sessions) I would notice this during shutdown:
    Failed unmounting /var
    Failed unmounting /usr
    Followed by a ton of these:
    device-mapper: remove ioctl on <my LVM group> failed: Device or resource busy
    Nother of these errors had ever appeared before.
    After hours of looking for solutions (and not finding any that worked) I was convinced (without any proof) that my Reiser file systems were corrupt and so I reformatted my entire SSD and started anew - not the Arch way, I know   I set all logical volumes as EXT4.
    After started anew, I noticed
    device-mapper: remove ioctl on LVM_SysGroup failed: Device or resource busy
    was still showing up, even with just a stock Arch setup (maybe even when powering off via Arch install ISO, don't remember).  After a lot of searching, I found that most people judged it a harmless error, so I ignored it and continued setting up Arch.
    I set up Gnome and a basic LAMP server, and everything seemed to work for a couple of hours.  Soon after, I got the same old issues back.  The System-journald issue came back and per the workaround on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=150704 and a couple other places, I rotated the journals and stopped journald from saving to storage.  That seemed to stop THOSE errors from at least overwhelming the shell, but I would still get screen freezes, crashes, and read-only file systems.
    I had to force the laptop to power off, since poweroff/reboot/halt commands weren't working (would get errors regarding the filesystems mounted as read-only).
    I utilized all disk checking functions possible.  From running the tests (SMART test included) that came as part of my laptop's BIOS to full blown fsck.  All tests showed the drive was working fine, and Fsck would show everything was either clean, or
    Clearing orphaned inode ## (uid=89, gid=89, mode=0100600, size=###
    Free blocks count wrong (###, counted=###)
    Which I would opt to fix.  Nothing serious, though.
    I could safely boot back into Arch and use the system fine until the system decides to freeze/crash and do the above all over again.
    The sure way of recreating this for me is to run a cron job on a local site I'm developing. After a brief screen freeze (mouse still moveable but everything is otherwise unreponsive) I'll systemctl status mysqld.service and notice that mysqld went down.
    It seems that it's at this point my file systems are mounted as read only, as trying to do virtually anything results in:
    unable to open /var/db/sudo/...: Read-only file system
    After some time, X/Gnome crashes and I get sent back to shell with
    ERROR: file_stream_metrics.cc(37)
    RecordFileError() err = 30 source = 1 record = 0
    Server terminated successfully (0)
    Closing log file.or_delegate.h(30)] sqlite erro1, errno 0: SQL logic error or missing database[1157:1179
    rm: cannot remove '/tmp/serverauth.teuroEBhtl': Read-only file system
    Before all this happened, I was using Arch just fine for a few weeks.  I wiped the drives and started anew, and this still happens with just the minimal number of packages installed.
    I've searched for solutions to each individual problem, but come across a hack that doesn't solve anything (like turning off storing logs for journal), or the solution doesn't apply to my case.
    At this point, I'm so overwhelmed I'm not even sure where exactly to pick up figuring this issue out.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Did this occur when you booted from the live/install media?
    What is your current set up? That is, partitions, filesystems etc. I take it you have not yet reinstalled X but are in the default CLI following installation?
    If turning off log storage didn't help, reenable it so that you may at least stand a chance of finding something useful.
    What services, if any, are you running? What non-default daemons etc.?
    Does it happen if you keep the machine off line?
    Have you done pacman -Syu since installation and dealt with any *.pacnew files?

  • No read access to system tables

    Hi
    i try to migrate access db to oracle and when testing connection it gives me error message says "no read access to system tables modify access db before retrying"
    what to do?
    thanks in advance.

    Access tab
    For a connection to a Microsoft Access database, click Browse and find the database (.mdb) file. However, to be able to use the connection, you must first ensure that the system tables in the database file are readable by SQL Developer, as follows:
    Open the database (.mdb) file in Microsoft Access.
    Click Tools, then Options, and on the View tab ensure that System Objects are shown.
    Click Tools, then Security, and, if necessary, modify the user and group permissions as follows: select all tables whose names start with Msys, and give the Admin user at least Read Design and Read Data permission on these tables. Save changes and close the Access database file.
    Create and test the connection in SQL Developer.

    Hello
    Thanks Manish .
    I found many articles in cisco which says that this error is related to the bug which need firmware upgrade , but I don't have support from cisco because EOS.
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/49511/updated-16-february-2011-ibm-7816-i4-782x-i4-filesystem-errors
    Solution
    The file-system going read-only issue which has recently been affecting server models MCS-7816-I4, MCS-7825-I4, and MCS-7828-I4 (or their IBM equivilants) in the field is addressed by CSCti52867 - "IBM 7816-I4 and 782x-I4 READONLY file system".
    The fix for CSCti52867 is now available and requires the application of two patch files.  Install both of these patch files in the order listed below.
    1. First install ciscocm.ibm-diskex-1.0.cop.sgn 
         The Readme file ciscocm.ibm-diskex-1.0.cop.sgn includes installation instructions for this .cop.sgn.
         Make sure to only install this utility when show hardware CLI output indicates the array is in a healthy state.
         If your server has never had the filesystem go readonly then this step is optional. 
    2. Next install Cisco-HDD-FWUpdate-3.0.1-I.ISO .
         The Readme file Cisco-HDD-FWUpdate-3.0.1-I.Readme.pdf includes installation instructions for this ISO.
         This installer is completely independant of the OS installed on the server.
    Note:  Installing the FWUpdate v3.0(1) or later will get you firmware with the fix for this defect.  It is always recommended that you apply the latest FWUCD available for your server.
    Refer to the Release Note of CSCti52867 and the Readme file for each of the above mentioned patch files for more details.
    Symptoms
    The file system goes READONLY, then CUCM services may go down, the server may become "unresponsive" meaning that it is not possible to ssh into the server, login to the console, or web into the server although it may still respond to pings.
    Traces from all services stop writing (including syslog)
    You see the following error on the server console
    EXT3-fs error (device sda6) in start_transaction: Jornal has aborted

  • Read Year from System Date & Compare - Assistance required

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read only the year part from the system date & then checking if any entry exists in EKKO table (EKKO-BEDAT) for the year. I think i am making an error in my data declaration for V_YEAR & in my select statement (EKKO~BEDAT LIKE V_YEAR), not sure how to compare only the year part, can someone help.
    DATA:
        V_EBELN TYPE EKPO-EBELN,
        V_YEAR  TYPE SY-DATUM.
    CLEAR: V_EBELN, V_YEAR.
    *Read year from system date
    V_YEAR = SY-DATUM+0(4).
    CONCATENATE '%' '%' '%' '%' V_YEAR INTO V_YEAR.
    *Select section
    SELECT SINGLE EKPO~EBELN INTO V_EBELN
    FROM EKPO
      INNER JOIN EKKO
        ON EKPOEBELN = EKKOEBELN
      INNER JOIN LFM1
        ON EKKOLIFNR = LFM1LIFNR
       WHERE EKKO~LIFNR = LFM1-LIFNR
         AND EKKO~BEDAT LIKE V_YEAR
         AND EKPO~LOEKZ = SPACE.

    Hi Sougata,
    Thanks for the inputs, but it is not working:
    Move:      sy-datum(4) to v_begda, -> This reads the system year 2008
            '0101'     to v_begda,  -> This changes 2008 to 0101
            sy-datum(4) to v_endda, -> This reads system year i.e. 2008
            '1231'     to v_endda. -> This changes 2008 to 1231
    Also in the select statement
    AND EKKO~BEDAT between v_begda and v_endda 
    This would not work, as EKKO-BEDAT is in year month date format.
    So can you please clarify why we are assigining 0101 & 1231 & also how we can compare only the year in EKKO-BEDAT with System Year
    Update
    I tried to
    concatenate '0101 into v_begda.
    concatenate '1231' into v_endda.
    but system prompts "charlike-field" expected after "'0101'"
    Can you please advice?

  • Help with a fcpx library that is locked "could not be opened. Read-only file system"

    Hi all,
    I recently moved all my fcpx projects/events to a new Harddrive - I thought I did this correctly by copying/duplicating all projects/events from within FCPX.
    When I last used FCPX all the projects/events were there - no issues.  Also, when I look at package contents - everything is still there in terms of events and file sizes.  
    All the library files are on an external hard drive, on an encrypted disk image.  Now a week later I have tried to open FCPX and I get the following error
    "The document “MND_Z_FCPX” could not be opened. Read-only file system" and nothing will open.
    Have checked permissions - these all seem in order.  OSX is10.9.5 
    Any suggestions as to what might be the issue? 
    Thanks in advance.
    R

    the permissions themselves look ok - they have my two computer profiles as read/write.   I also note that on some occasions the library has opened in my other Computer profile, but not in the one that I want it to open.
    So I think you're right, there is something with permissions happening here.  I keep a work and personal computer profile.
    Don't know how it happened - but the volume is definitely Read Only - even though I've created a Read/Write permissions for it

  • [SOLVED] /bin/tar: Cannot utime: Read-only file system

    While doing a tar backup on my servers, I get this error:
    /bin/tar: /usr/local/bin/sendEmail: Cannot utime: Read-only file system
    The error happens on all files in /usr that I'm trying to backup. I know why the error is happening -- I deliberately mount /usr as read-only.
    I'd like to know why tar is trying to "utime" my files and how I can stop that behaviour if possible?
    This is my tar command:
    tar cjf /mnt/backup/backup.tar.bz2 --label='backup_090116' --atime-preserve --no-wildcards-match-slash --files-from=/root/backup.include --exclude-from=/root/backup.exclude
    TIA
    Last edited by fukawi2 (2009-01-17 07:53:02)

    Isn't it quite pointless to preserve timestamps on files from a filesystem on which timestamps aren't modified? Maybe tar tries to update the timestaps prior to archiving the file and is that giving troubles.

    Any pointers why it is not going for a smart scan? the table is not huge either it has only 27000+ records.

    Taking away exadata from the picture, delete's have lot of overhead to be performed ( extra level of locking, maintaining indexes, buffer cache operations, redo/undo maintenance  etc ..) than selects. From the delete sql explain plan , its going for a  FTS(TABLE ACCESS STORAGE FULL), which is good and expected with Exadata.

  • Error reading table TOBJ - System Error when accessing Analysis of Change Requests

    Hi Experts,
    When I am trying to access Status Report or Processing time I get the following errors:
    Error reading Table TOBJ - system error, An error occurred when getting data from the
    processor and Log not found (in main memory).
    I am not sure how this table gets populated or how to check for inconsistencies.
    We have already checked the patch levels and they are on the same level for all environments.
    We never had these errors in our Dev and Qa environments. We recently got a new TREX environment, could that be causing any of these errors.
    Any ideas how to troubleshoot this problem?
    Thanks
    Riaan

    For info. The problem was revolved with 2 notes.

  • App update delay breaks system

    Has anyone resolved the issue of releasing an app which communicates with a server and then having the server be updated immediately while the app takes weeks to appear in the app store?  It seems completely unreasonable to push app updates for larger app which are only a small part of a larger system and not have them immediately available.  Most of the time updates cause breaking changes and therefore the app and the server side need to be updated simultaneously.  This is impossible if app updates do not appear in the app store immediately.  Anyone have any ideas?

    Join the club .. I've been trying to log into the App store since Lion was released .. Keeps telling me "an unknown error has occured"
    I have no problem logging into Itunes , this discussion group .. etc.. just CANNOT LOG INTO APP STORE...
    have tried everything from reloading Snow Leopard . to all the terminal changes that others have suggested ...
    guess it's time for a new Macbook Pro...
    so weird...

  • QuickTime 7.6 upgrade for Tiger breaks system

    I am also having problems on Tiger (10.4.11) after upgrading to QuickTime 7.6. Upon reboot after the install completed, I wind up with the login prompt on the console (not the login window, but a true unix login prompt). Logging in and dumping the last portion of /var/log/system.log reveals:

    As you can see, I believe there are two errors. The first is the loginwindow error:
    Feb 4 14:28:24 localhost loginwindow[72]: AuthorizationRef doesn't have a username (<LoginAuthRefMgr: 0x438e00>).\n
    Googling brought up a possible solution whose work around seems to be
    discussed here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1102633
    However, the main problem seems to be (perhaps?) a carbon related issue. I am seeing any applications that make use of the Carbon framework seem to be failing.
    As you can see from the system.log excerpt, ifcstart is crashing. The crash log contains:

    [there is more but I believe you see the issue].
    I am also seeing SecurityAgent crash in a similar manner.
    Without a UI (only a shell prompt) how do I back out the QuickTime upgrade?

    I tried that and it did not work.  The paid functions are still grayed out.
    There are three possibilities here:
    1) The QT 7 Pro is not activated. In this case, the registration window will not display the QT logo with the word "Pro" superimposed on it, the phrase "QuickTime 7 Pro" will not be displayed below the "Registration Code:" entry, and the "Buy" button will not disappear. (I.e., I assume your version should look something like this if the code is accepted...)
    2) You don't have a movie clip loaded. Unless you load a movie, most of the QT 7 Pro features will be grayed out since their functions are often contextual and, therefore, dependent on the data loaded. Additionally, the file loaded must be QT compression and/or edit compatible. For instance, if you try to trim an MPEG-1 video, the associated controls/options are grayed out because QT recognizes that this compression format is not editable at the frame level.
    3) Your QT 7 Player application is corrupted/broken for some reason. In this case you would likely have to "extract" a copy of the player and replace the app in your Applications folder. However, this is a very rare chance of happening.
    So, at this point you must determine which specific problem you have.

Maybe you are looking for
