Recent update breaks Gnome applets

Some update in the last 48 hours has Gnome all f!@#ed up! The weather applet blows up all the time, and so does Tomboy. I'm surprised that I am the first one to log this.
( I wish I knew what had been updated recently. )

OK, I calmed down a bit and ran this:
[me@mypc ~]# find /var/cache/pacman/pkg -atime 0

Now I'm thinking something like 'gnome-vfs' or 'dbus' might be the culprit.

Most recent update breaks Keychain

I installed the most recent updates to my 10.3.9 system (iTunes, battery monitor, iPod plus Quicktime) and now I can no longer access my keychain items. Process (activity) monitor shows the keychain process "hung" and keychain verify/repair show no issues with the keychain. Behavior is the same after running a disk utility "repair permissions" pass.
This isn't very nice.

You need to look at that huge thread in this section of discussions. The one about the loss of Disk Utility. It's had over 4000 visits. Most didn't describe your symptom, but I had your symptom.
You have other symptoms you just haven't encountered yet! My first sign of trouble - which was created by the lock on Keychain - was that my laptop couldn't join my home wireless network.
The good news is that there is an easy, though unintuitive fix.
I wish there were a message from Apple directing all the various people with problems to that big thread, because they all really belong there.

Recent update broke GNOME Shell drawing?

Hi.
I'm recently working on a theme for GNOME Shell, and in the "popup-menu-item" class I used a style like this: "box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 #86d1f2;"
It was all good before, but after I update my system yesterday the inset box-shadow property seems to be broken.
With "0 1px [something greater than 0]" it works just fine,
but if I do what I did above, going with "0 1px 0", the shadow (which should've been only 1 pixel high) would cover the whole button.
Not sure if it's just me or it really is a bug.
And I don't know much about all those packages, but I suspect it's gtk or cairo that cause the change.
Please tell me what you think and where and how I can properly report this. Thanks!

Is it something Nvidia-related? No, I don't think so. I'm running on ATI.
But I don't think it's a graphical glitch caused by driver or something like that anyway.
Must be the Shell or whatever it is it's using to draw.
A few thoughts:
1. If someone can check this for me, apply a random third-party theme, and add "box-shadow: inset 0 1px 0 red;" in the ".popup-menu-item" block, ALT-F2 "rt"
then check if it's a red line or covers the whole item.
2. Assume it's caused by, say, Cairo, can I downgrade to an earlier version easily with pacman or yaourt? That way I might be able to find the problem.
Thanks.

After recent updates, Gnome freezes randomly. Video problem?

I've been having some problems lately that I didn't have before recent updates.
My desktop will freeze randomly and my only option is to switch to a VT and enter multi-user mode with `systemctl isolate multi-user.service`. X doesn't crash though. My Gnome Desktop just freezes entirely, but the mouse pointer continues to move around just fine. When I enter multi-user mode, Xorg.0.log says that the server exited successfully.
Below are error messages in dmesg, systemd journal, and Xorg.0.log.

Any idea what might be causing these freezes or what info I can further provide?

I think i got my problem, but i don't know how to solve it: after much troubles i found out that whenever i have an SMB connection with a machine that then goes down/disconnect from network without me unmounting the share BEFORE it, then BOOM, everything freeze.
I noticed this only because i was sharing a directory with my brother and noticed i had the froze as soon as he got disconnected from the network: so i asked him to power on that machine and.. magic! My machine unfroze instantly!
But now, how to fix that?! Is it due to my /etc/fstab? Does this really matter with nemo/nautilus mounted shares? This, however, depicts the machine in question (the one that, disconnecting from the network, caused my own to freeze)
//themachine.local/shared /home/username/mountpoint/ cifs noauto,guest,username=myname,password=mypassword,uid=1000,gid=100 0 0
At last I found out what's my problem, hopefully your situation is similar so that we can work out a solution on this one.
THANKS! I'm quite sure this is the reason gnome shell freezes for me as well. I was mounting my box.com cloud with this entry in /etc/fstab:
# box.com account
https://www.box.com/dav /home/abtz/Box davfs rw,user,noauto 0 0
If anyone has an idea for how to fix this, I'm all ears. For now, I'll just remove the entry from /etc/fstab.
I'm running vanilla Gnome, with only the Frippery shutdown menu and battery remaining extensions installed.

[solved] updates broke gnome

i know this is a stupid and noobish title, but i really couldn't think of a better one.
after a recent update, lots of things broke, and i'm not even sure if they're related to one thing or just issues of their own.
1, after the upgrade, i couldn't log in with slim (i use the inittab method). i tried going to runlevel 3 and starting slim as a daemon, same effect. right after logging in, the hard drive stops and i only have a cursor. tried starting gdm as a daemon, same thing. the funny thing is that i can start gnome with 'startx'.
2, gnome-panel says the clock applet is broken, but i've seen topics on that.
3, nm-applet asks for a password (probably because i started the session with 'startx'), but upon entering it, the dialog freezes.
i only have one response: wtf?! i'm not a complete noob, but i really can't do anything about this.. is anyone getting these problems? is there a fix/workaround?
thanks,
bamdad

My music won't play on my stereo since downloading recent update

I recently purchased a new iPod touch. Used it a couple of times in my home stereo and work stereo with an apple dock adaptor that I purchased for my iPhone. The music came through the speakers for both stereos no problems but since the most recent update whenever I connect it will play for a couple of seconds then come up with the message that it is unsupported through this device, continue to charge but the music comes through the iPod and not the stereo. Is there a bug with the recent download or is it a fault with my iPod?

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod and dock for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Are you using an adopter to go form the iPod to the dock? If so try another one.
- Contact the dock manufacturer/go to their suppor site. Sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

StarWalk compass stopped working with their most recent update.

My favorite application on my iPad used to be Starwalk. Ever since their most recent update on April 30, the internal compass stopped working (which is basically the backbone of the entire app). I contacted Vito technology (the developer) - it took a long time to get a response, but after several efforts they finally replied that there was a flaw in the iPad's internal Magnetometer, that it had nothing to do with their software, and there was nothing they could do about it - I should take it up with Apple. The app worked perfectly until their most recent update. I looked at their reviews/comments and numerous people were making the exact same complaint, and everyone said it stopped working as the result of the April 30 Starwalk update. I have one friend with a 3G iPad and the app still works fine for him. I have another friend with a wiFi version like me, and the app ALSO stopped working for him on April 30. So I understand not all iPads are affected.
So am I supposed to take this up with Apple now and tell them there is a flaw in their magnetometer that caused StarWalk to break as of their last update, and see if they can fix all our devices?
I don't believe Vito's assertion that their software is not at fault (considering so many people are complaining in their negative reviews that the last update triggered this breakage).
I'm frustrated and wonder if anyone else is experiencing this. Starwalk used to be my favorite app, and its even more frustrating to listen to the developer tell me its a device flaw that's been there all along, when me and many other people all had simultaneous magnetometer problems develop on April 30 - the moment we installed their last update.

Just that I have the latest from April 30 and there are no updates that are available to me. I guess you have the wifi only version as I do? I can't quite figure out why this would be affecting some people and not others. If you go to the StarWalk page on iTunes you'll see the list of people complaining about the same thing. In iTunes it also says my iPad software is up to date (I assume that means the OS/firmware).
So do you guys think this is something I take up with StarWalk or Apple? I feel a little ripped off that Vito has sold me a $6 app (granted that is not much) that has stopped working, and they are telling me its a flaw in the device.
I'll paste the response I received from Vito below. Bear in mind that although they say this has nothing to do with their software, all of the people who are complaining had a functioning app before April 30, and it stopped working as soon as we made that update.
Thank you for taking time to send us your feedback, it is highly appreciated.
In specific circumstances iPhone/iPad digital compass (magnetometer) may operate with difficulties, essentially causing errors in all applications that rely on its data.
Unfortunately, we cannot fix this particular problem, because it is caused by the digital compass malfunction and has nothing to do with our software. However, we are happy to offer you directions which may help you avoid experiencing this inconvenience in the future.
For better functioning of the digital compass consider doing the following:
1) Tilt your device from landscape to portrait orientation several times. This will help the digital compass recalibrate itself and calculate current position.
2) Make sure the compass is not obstructed by thick walls of buildings or large amounts of metal nearby. Try going outside.
3) Consider trying again later. Sometimes it is unclear what may be influencing the magnetometer.
If you need more information, please read the magnetometer specifications below.
We hope that these simple instructions were of help. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
Vito Technology Support Team
For more information:
Wikidia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_compass :
"A magnetometer is a scientific instrument used to measure the strength and/or direction of the magnetic field in the vicinity of the instrument. Magnetism varies from place to place and differences in Earth's magnetic field (the magnetosphere) can be caused by the differing nature of rocks and the interaction between charged particles from the Sun and the magnetosphere of aplanet. Magnetometers are a frequent component instrument on spacecraft that explore planets."

Acrobat 9.2.0 Update Breaks Text Box Tool, Possibly Introduces a New Security Flaw.

Anyone have any ideas for this one?
Once we upgraded to version 9.2.0 (This is a major security release that fixes a Javascript security flaw) our text box tool no longer works the way we want it and crashes the program.
Try this:
1. Open any PDF document on a Windows XP SP3 computer with Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0.
2. Add the 'Text Box Tool' to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting 'MoreTools' then placing a checkbox next to the 'Text Box Tool'.
3. Click the 'Text Box Tool' on the toolbar and draw a new textbox anywhere on the PDF document.
4. Click out of the textbox to cancel typing mode, then single click back on the textbox that you just created.
5. Right-click the textbox that you created and select 'Properties..."
6. Under the 'Appearance' tab,
a. Select Style: No Border
b. Select Fill Color: No Color
c. Check the box 'Make Properties Default'
d. Click OK.
7. Click the Text Box Tool again, and draw another textbox (Since there is no border you will not see it but you will still be drawing a textbox).
8. Let go of the mouse when you are done drawing your textbox rectangle and the program will crash at this point.
Results:
1. "An internal error occurred." dialog box is displayed.
2. After clicking ok the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialog box is displayed:
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
R6025
- pure virtual function call
3. After clicking ok another dialog box is displayed:
Error signature
AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: acrobat.dll Offset: 000509dd
4. The same error has occurred on all five computers that we tested the new version on.
Expected results: A new textbox is created and you may start typing in text (This was the behavior in version 9.1.3).
Additional Information
At times, we need to add information to PDF files (i.e missing dates, etc). We have always used the Text Box Tool to do this with no border, and with no fill color as this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to add information to PDF files in a precise manner. We want the fill color to be transparent so that we can fit text in between and exactly on lines easier, and so that there is not a solid background box behind the text. We want no border because a border around text that needs to go on a line looks stupid. Up until version 9.2 this procedure worked fine. Now, the program will crash. Perhaps this even adds another security vulnerability if the crash could be exploited. We want to maintain security by patching Adobe to address the JavaScript vulnerability that was addressed in version 9.2.0, however, we are not able to update our users as the new version breaks the fundamental purpose that we use Adobe Acrobat for. We are stuck with the vulnerable version 9.1.3 until this problem is addressed. Disabling JavaScript is not an option either, as we use a Java plug-in on a daily basis.
Any thoughts would be great, I have attached screenshots of the errors.

The question still is not answered.
The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat 8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !

My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I fond my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

My iPhone 5 is not syncing with my iTunes 11.3, on OSx. I have just completed all of the most recent updates and have looked into completely uninstalling iTunes but I found my computer won't let me! Any ideas?

Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
Right-click or control-click the line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash. Relaunch the application and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...

How can I open iTunes after recent update 01/25/2014

After installing the recent update for iTunes, I can't open iTunes. Tried to uninstall/reinstais missing, with same results. I have received several error messages: MSVCR80.dill is missing. Please re-install, error 7 Windows error (126).
When will this corrupted download be fixed? I can't access iTunes at all.

Do the following:
Uninstall from Windows the following four programs: iTunes, Apple Software Update, Apple Mobile Device Support, Bonjour and Apple Application Support. You do this from an applet in Control Panel called Programs & Features (in Windows 8, 7, or Vista) or Add or Remove Programs (in Windows XP).
Download the latest version of iTunes from Apple and note the location you're saving it to so you can find it once it's done.
Run the iTunes installation as an administrator, just Right click iTunes installer and Run as Administrator.

[Solved] LaTeX and LyX problems after recent update

After the recent TeX update, problems arose that were already discussed in another thread, the solution is in a post by bender02. Because I use LyX instead of the "normal" latex command line tool, I was getting the following:
The layout file requested by this document,
scrbook.layout,
is not usable. This is probably because a LaTeX
class or style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation
for more information.
LyX will not be able to produce output.
I am just posting this here to make it easier for others that search for that LyX message to find the solution.

Great jstarek!
That information saved me!
Don't know why the TeX updates break so easily...

Since the most recent update, any previously made captivate files we republish won't display

(skip to "I'll break down the problem as best as i can" to avoid rant )
Essentially, we have near a hundred eLearning courses we have made using captivate dating back as early as captivate 4. We have been upgrading through the versions as we go and where there has always been little glitches that present themselves this one makes the list sense. This isn't even an upgrade in version, just a little patch (that seemed to add the ability to resize the "Question X of Y" bits on question slides).
So, does anyone have any help on this problem? Adobe have been so far not very helpful, essentially offering the wisdom and clarity that comes with years of not trying to fix problems. Their advice being to basically remake each course from the ground up, something that will take a LOT of time (and for what!? to fix their mistake?).
I'll break down the problem as best as i can:
Since recent patch to captivate, pre-existing files that we publish again will not display on windows computers but does display on Ipad's, etc. Uploading to a server does not fix the problem, it remains the same. The internet window opens up the same as normal but after a brief loading bar moment, the window remains blank. A check of the code shows that the files are being loaded but simply not displaying in any form. If we publish a completely new file, it displays fine. The type of browser has no impact on the problem. We have also found that if we go into the console and use a command to skip to, say, the second frame, it works!? So the issue literally seems to be with displaying in the first place.
Thanks in advance if anyone can even help suggest ways to get round this problem, it has come at a terrible time when we need to make changes and present material to another company but can't even view our publishes files.

The most recent update (to Captivate 7.0.1.237) changed the default autoplay setting for all of our courses to on. Since we haven't changed any settings personally it was easy overlooked, and the autoplay function just doesn't seem to work.
I tried running cpCmndGotoSlide = 2 in the web developer console and it caused the course to start up, making me realise that the course was indeed loading (I saw that some of the content was loading on firebug but was unsure as to if it was the crucial files) but just not playing and I noticed while investigating that.
So its just a case of turning off autoplay for the course in the publish settings.
Also as a note our courses were still working on iPad, I think this is due to apple products not supporting the autoplay of content, especially if it has audio.

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications

The latest Java update breaks some vital applications. I have reverted back to 7u45. But now, every time a java applet is used, the "later", "block", "update" window appears and stops the applet from loading. I must have this older release. Oracle does not throughly test their updates. Note: the apps the update breaks are actually Oracle apps.
I have checked the "do not ask again until next relesse" box every single time. Worthless.
Is there a way to stop Java version checks? I even have the box deselected for check for updates; ignored by OS X. I WANT CONTROL! Stop checking!
Ideas?

We are facing the same issue. We suggested all out customers not to install the updates Java 7u65 or 8u11 until there is a workaround or fix.
The wrong look & feel is causing the following problems:
- Either icons or text can be display on a button. Currently the majority of buttons are displaying an icon. Therefore the workaround is to set the text at least.
- Scroll-bars are displayed within all cells of a table column. The circumstances are not clear when these scroll-bars are displayed.

Problems running java after most recent update

After updating to the latest version of Java via Software Update a few weeks ago, I am unable to run the Java applet I need to run to log onto my scheduling system for my work. We use ClinixMIS software which is web based and appears to load a Java applet when I log in. Before the most recent update I had no problem logging in and I still have no problems logging in on older machines running snow leopord and earlier versions of MacOSX with previous versions of Java. When I called Apple and told them my problem the tech said it was because the version of Java is more advaced than the one Clinix is using. I asked how to go back to an earlier version and I was told I can't do it. When I tried to download and install an earlier version of Java the computer wouldn't let me do it. I am running the latest version of Lion on a 2010 MacBook Pro with a i5 processor. I tried Safari, Chrome and Firefox and nothing worked. Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone run into a similar problem? Clinix has not supported Macs in the past but when I talked to the guy they sent out to help with some other issues we are having he told me they had a "team working on it". That has been their response now for about four weeks.

Get your IT people to talk to the ClinixMIS software developer and bring it to 2012 standards.

Photoshop CC's Perspective Warp function not enabled with most recent update.

I have the most recent updated version of Photoshop CC, using a MacBook running on 10.6.8, and the Perspective Warp function is not enabled. How do I fix this?

I would guess you need to uninstall bridge cc and then reinstall without applying the 6.1 update
(use the uninstaller in /Applications/Adobe Bridge CC)
You can download Bridge CC direct from here
Download New Adobe CC Trials: Direct Links (no Assistant/Manager) | ProDesignTools
And the Bridge cc 6.0.1 update from here any others you might need
(don't install the 6.1 bridge cc update, because that is the update that breaks bridge on 10.6.8)
All the Adobe CC Updates: The Direct Download Links for Mac OS | ProDesignTools
Be sure you follow the directions where it says Note: Very Important Instructions or the links won't work.
