Roxio won't die

My partner and I are running Windows XP on our respective machines. While we were using the previous version of the Blackberry Desktop software, every time we rebooted, Windows Installer popped up and tried (unsuccessfully) to install the Roxio Media Manager (which was already installed and working).
When I installed the latest version of the Desktop Software on my machine, this problem disappeared. Though my partner installed the new version, on her machine the problem with Roxio persists. We have made sure that Roxio is uninstalled but the problem persists. What happens is as follows.
When the system reboots, Windows installer appears and announces that it is installing Roxio Media Manager.
After apparently progressing for a while, the process stalls and an error message informs us that a particular file is missing.
Currently, the only solution seems to be to use Task Manager to terminate Windows Installer. The nuisance is having to do this every time the system is started.
Any advice in solving this problem would be appreciated.

Hey SilverTiger,
Thanks for the reply.
If you open msconfig and click on the start up tab, is there anything Roxio related or that says media manager 9?
There is a registry key featuring Roxio still on the system, I would suggest opening the Registry
(MAKE SURE YOU ARE CAREFUL AND CREATE A BACKUP OF THE REGISTRY FIRST)
Click on edit and find and search for Roxio. Remove all that state Roxio, if you're unsure just copy what the file name is into a reply.

Problem with processes that just won't die...

Hi,
first off, hullo everybody
I'm new to Arch Linux, but I do already like it very much. I have just installed it on my workstation and it works fine, except for the following problem.
My home directory here is mounted via NFS from a central server. My username is malte (we're using YP/NIS for central authentication) and my home dir is /WW/home/malte/
The network file system that is mounted at boot time is /WW
malte@bombadil $ grep nfs /etc/fstab
quarterback:/WW /WW nfs defaults 0 0
Everything is setup at boot time automatically and all works fine so far. However, when I reboot my machine using sudo reboot, or even when cleanly logging out and using the Shutdown/Reboot button in GDM, what happens is that Arch tries to unmount the net file systems (that is, /WW in this case), but fails and outputs
/WW: device is busy
(or something to that effect); so it gives up, and goes on shutting down all the other services, like the network etc. At the very end, when "Unmounting all filesystems", it then again tries to unmount the net file system, which of course won't work since the network is already shut down. It tries for about a minute or so before timing out, giving up and just rebooting
This of course is quite annoying, as I have to wait more than a minute each time I want to reboot (or I would have to press the reset button on the computer, which I really don't want to).
So why doesn't Arch succeed in unmounting the net file system when it should? Using lsof, I have traced down the problem further:
When I do not login as user in GDM after booting up the system, but immediately reboot again after GDM has just been started, there is no problem: /WW is unmounted properly, and my system reboots flawlessly.
The problem is when I log in to my WM as user. Even if I log out cleanly to GDM again, there are two processes belonging to user malte that go on living and that access to /WW/home/malte, and I suppose that is why unmounting fails at reboot time, saying the device is busy.
I have found out that (and which these processes are) by closely observing the output of watch 'lsof | grep WW' run as root on vc/1, just after I log out from my WM as user:
root@bombadil $ lsof | grep WW # executed closely after logging out as user malte
menu-cach 3410 malte cwd DIR 0,16 1536 8785908 /WW/home/malte (quarterback:/WW)
gam_serve 5391 malte cwd DIR 0,16 1536 8785908 /WW/home/malte (quarterback:/WW)
More information on those two processes:
root@bombadil $ ps aux | grep -e gam_serv -e menu-cach
malte 3410 0.0 0.1 41540 2680 ? S 14:46 0:00 /usr/bin/menu-cached
malte 5391 0.0 0.0 17444 1476 ? S 15:38 0:00 /usr/lib/gamin/gam_server
root 5473 0.0 0.0 9324 740 tty1 R+ 15:38 0:00 grep -e gam-serv -e menu-cach
So! In short, even after logging out, menu-cached and gam_server keep on living, and access to /WW/home/malte, and that is why when I try to reboot, Arch does not succeed in unmounting /WW, and that is why it tries to unmount it again at a later time, after networking has already been shut down, and that is why it waits for a time-out for about a minute at the end of the reboot procedure.
In fact, gam_server only keeps on living for about 20 seconds after I logged out, then it is terminated. As for menu-cached, it goes on and on living, at least for 5 minutes, which is when I got tired of watching the output of watch 'lsof | grep WW' ;-)
Any ideas how this could be remedied? Ideally, I'd like to be able to reboot using sudo reboot rather than by logging out and using GDM to reboot, but I guess that then there will be even more processes alive and accessing the NFS file system when already Arch tries to unmount it.
Oh yes, maybe this is of some interest also:
malte@bombadil $ grep DAEMONS /etc/rc.conf
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network portmap nfslock @netfs ypbind sshd crond)
Please help
Cheers,
Malte

I have the same problem. menu-caches doesn't die after user logs out of the session (don't have the gamin issue though). I too am running LXDE. When a different user logs in via gdm you'll still see the menu-cached processes for other users and I end up having to kill them as root. I do believe this is a bug with either menu-caches and/or LXDE (or perhaps, more specifically, its session manager). I've looked high and low through the system to figure out where menu-cached is invoked from and for any sort of associated configuration file to no avail. I'm left with the conclusion that the invocation of menu-cached is hard-coded into start-lxde.
As a ugly-hack workaround you might try making a shell script like the following in /etc/gdm/PostSession/ directory:
#!/bin/sh
killall menu-cached
This of course is only applicable for those running gdm as their display manager. Also don't forget to make it executable.
I would imagine that menu-cached not closing on user logout is very much a bug. Or perhaps, more precisely, something that hadn't gotten put in yet. Afterall, LXDE is still a relatively new desktop. A good one at that so far, if you don't mind some of the missing polish that its dev haven't had a chance to add yet.
If someone else knows a more elegant solution than that please let me, and the other LXDE users, know.

Zombie email message won't die! $1 bounty to anyone who can solve this.

I have a message that absolutely will not die. I've tried everything I can think of to delete it, but it keeps coming back. I've tried moving it from one mailbox to another, killing it with the delete key, killing it by cutting it (Command-X), but it lingers on. At this point, it only shows up in the index with a subject and date, but the content of the message is gone. I've tried rebuilding the mailboxes a number of times, but it always reappears. I've tried logging into my various accounts through the web interface, but it doesn't exist on the servers anywhere, it's only local as far as I can see.
In my last attempt to get rid of it, I scanned my ENTIRE HARD DRIVE for the string of text containing the subject line using grep, and narrowed it down to a few files in the ~/Library/Mail folder, which I deleted through the Terminal using rm. I then re-opened Mail and rebuilt the mailboxes, and the email STILL appears. It will no longer let me move the message to another mailbox, however, but I can't get the damned thing to disappear.
I will PayPal $1 to anyone who can come up with a solution that doesn't involve recreating my Mail accounts. May the game begin!

Hello,
Are you using an IMAP or POP account?
Anything you do in the Terminal, Finder or some third party Mail app enhancers will very often mess up the index, which appears to be a symptom of.
I think you should force a reindexing by deleting the Envelope Index. With IMAP or Exchange account, forcing reindexing requires removing the account folder. See:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/4.0/en/14019.html
Ask any questions needed to get comfortable with doing this.

ITunes 10 starting conhost.exe and it won't die

I updated to the latest version of iTunes about 3 weeks ago (haven't run it in over a week, due to this problem). Immediately after installing, I began seeing conhost.exe start multiple times. It took me a week to figure out which installed software was causing the issue, and narrowed it down to iTunes.
When iTunes runs (with or without its various services started), it starts conhost.exe. Whatever it is running in that console causes every other process that starts after conhost.exe starts to never end. I had taken to killing the conhost.exe processes, but they would simply restart when the iTunes services were running.
Basically, what this means is that when iTunes and related services were running in the background, HUNDREDS of processes that Windows starts and stops automatically would NEVER DIE. I once came home to find over 500 processes running, and before I figured out it was iTunes causing the problem, had to restart my computer every night when I got home, because the computer wouldn't respond. Each of those processes may have been small, but there were hundreds of them, taking up all available RAM.
In case anyone is curious (which I'm sure may happen), I'm running on a self-built Core 2 Quad 2.0GHz, 8GB of RAM, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, with somewhere near 3TB of storage space (approximately 60% of which is available). There are no current hardware issues, all drivers are up to date, and air flow through the case is taken care of by 8 case fans. Keeps my processor temps right around 100F (which is a lot cooler than they were over the summer).
The iTunes.exe version information says it is version 10.0.0.68. I know there's a 10.0.1 out now, but can't find out whether or not it resolves this issue.
Anyone have any ideas? This may be specific to Windows 7 x64; I haven't been able to find any solutions in my searching, both here and on Google.
Thanks.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

The Pop-up That Won't Die In Pages Tracking

Pages version 4.1 (923) running on Lion, OSX 10.7
When you turn on Tracking, an annoying translucent post-it pops up—no matter where you put your cursor. It tells you the last thing you did in the document, and when you did it—like that's something you need to know.
And it won't go away until you click someplace else in the document.
AND there's no way to turn the feature off. Really, I looked everywhere in preferences, and an Apple Pages specialist confirmed that on the phone.
I swear, it's as bad as the paperclip in MS Word.
OH! And on Lion -- the damned thing stays on the screen when you switch apps. I'm looking at one right now at the bottom of the screen, while I'm in Safari. And it MOVES—now it's on top of this message's menu bar. It appears and disappears. To get rid of it, I'd have to switch pack to Pages and click somewhere in the doc. It's like a villain in Doctor Who.
Since there's no way to turn it off in the program, that leaves the terminal—which I've never used but am willing to brave if someone would be so kind as to tell me what the frak to do and how to do it?
Pretty please?
Or is there someone smart enough write an Applescript or patch?? I'm dyin' here.
Thank you in advance,
outlaw

As far as I know, the local menu entitled "Bulles de suvi" in French isn't deeply buried !
Check the item "Hide All" and, what a wonderful surprise, the post-its will no longer pop.
To Peter's attention, it's not a system feature, just a Pages's documented one

Ken burns effect won't die

I want to globally turn off the Ken Burns effect for my 722 slides in my iMove slide show. I have clicked on Project Properties, Timing, Fit in Frame, apply to all.
But still it won't go away. I really don't want to do one at a time. What else can I do?

Click on one of the thumbnail images in the project timeline, then select "Edit > Select All" from the menu. All clips in the project will now be highlighted with a yellow border.
Now click on the small gear icon on one of the images. From the drop-down menu select "Cropping & Rotation". (Alternatively, click on the Crop, Rotate & Ken Burns tool in the centre toolbar - or simply press the C key on the keyboard).
In the Viewer, select Fit (in the top left corner). All clips will now be changed to Fit.
It's best when starting a new project to choose your preference from "File > Project Properties", then make a selection for the item "Initial Photo Placement". iMovie's default is Ken Burns (as you've discovered).

Firefox process won't die

When I quit/close Firefox, wait 1 minute, then reopen Firefox, Firefox does not open...it just hangs.
When looking in my Task Manager, there are two firefox.exe processes running. Killing the process via the Task Manager is required to get Firefox to open/run again.

I'm quite familiar with the issue you've proposed via this KB article. My issue, though, is quite different. I don't get the annoying "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system.." alert box.
Further, with the known issue, the firefox process does eventually die. With this new issue, the firefox process never dies and appears orphaned.
Keep in mind this only started occurring after I upgraded to version 3.6.9 two days ago. There is no doubt in my mind something is broken in the newest build.
As a developer, I like adhering an important and well-known principle in the software development world when I build and maintain stuff: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Sometimes I wonder/question if Mozilla developers hold the same conviction, given numerous new issues that make it into every new build of Firefox.
This also brings up another subject: does anyone do QA anymore? I like to test my stuff before letting others use it. It's extremely important to make sure your stuff is solid, before letting others use it. Cross your T's and dot your I's, for heaven's sake!

Roxio won't open in Desktop Manager Ver 4.5 on Acer Aspire one

When I try to open Roxio, in Desk Top Manager V 4.5, it gives a message that my screen resolution should be set to 1024 x 768 but my Acer aspire One is only capable of 1024 x 600. It works fine on another notebook and my desktop. I'd really like to get my music and jpg files from my 8830 to this new laptop also. Does anyone know of a work around for this problem? Thanks.
Solved!

Eclipse won't die

I have been having this problem ever since jdk 1_5_0_03, I now use 1_5_0_08, Eclipse is 3.2.1-1. I have a few plugins installed, but the problem is reproducible with a fresh Eclipse install, so I don't think this is the issue.
The problem itself is that when I try to close Eclipse it doesn't die -- 2 processes are left sleeping on the system, the workspace remains locked, but the worst part is that somehow they hook to the keyboard, and do not let any key events to reach X -- I have no keyboard untill the processes are manually killed (luckily, Ctrl+Alt+F1 works).
Running eclipse with strace -f, I get the following before the processes hang:

Is anyone else seeing this? Is it a problem that can be stopped?

I don't know. I haven't used anything on MobileMe in months. I did use an iDisk at one time, I used the Gallery, I used all sorts of aspects of MobileMe. I'm not physically going in and using it in any way right now, but apparently something on my system is still trying to do it anyway. How would I figure out how to stop it?

ITunes crashing consistently after a short period & won't die!

Hi there
I have a G4 AGP Powermac running Tiger which I'm using as a server for my Apple TV. It has a 120GB IDE boot drive and a 1TB WD SATA drive on a Sonnet PCI card which holds the media files.
Over the past couple of weeks, the stability of the system has been getting progressively worse; iTunes will start but crash after a period of time, often without my actually doing anything. It has now decided it's going to crash every time rather than import a CD. It's also nearly impossible to close down too - Force Quit makes the application go away but it's still open in the Dock and doing a ps -aux in Terminal shows me:
g4server 143 0.0 -0.0 0 0 ?? E 11:58AM 0:00.00 (iTunes)
Any suggestions very welcome. Even sudo kill -9 (PID) doesn't make it go away.

I had the exact same issue when I updated to iTunes 8.1.1 and I tried a few different things and only one of them worked. this is what I did and it has ran flawlessly since.
Delete/Move to trash iTunes from your YourHardrive/Applications folder.
Download and install new version of iTunes.
Enjoy.
It took me less than 30 minutes and I still had my music.

[SOLVED - at least for me]annoying TAB sound just won't die...

Hi,
I've added this for the MODULES in rc.conf:
MODULES=(!pcmcia !pcmcia_core !pcspkr !snd_pcsp powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand)
and still I hear this annoying sound when I hit the <TAB> in the console, over and over and over again....
I've disabled the pc speaker and its sound module, and I have configured the ALSA using alsaconf succesfully (the sound is crap on my HP Compaq 615, but that's because of the speakers, not Linux). Still if I run the "alsamixer" command, I can see the volume of the pc speaker right there, but if I change the PC speaker volume the system volume is not changed. Is there an alsa "beep" sound for the <TAB> i need to kill somewhere? This mind boiling sound I hear every time in xterm when I make an error of some sort in the keyboard, like when I'm working in Vim and I scroll to the top of the file and hit the line, etc.
lsmod gives me this output:
http://pastebin.com/uYHcmp8V
Any advice?

@tomislavski:
I believe your internal beeper is controlled by the drivers for your soundcard instead of the generic pcspkr-driver, since blacklisting pcspkr and snd_pcsp had no effect. I also use the snd_hda_intel-driver on my netbook, and I have two separate controls for speakers in alsamixer - "Speaker" refer to sounds played through normal applications, while a "Beep"-control refers to those annoying console beeps. You could check if you have a similar setup, and in that case just mute the Beep-control.
Nareto wrote:I'm too having the beep on Tab etc. I did all of the above with no success.
The original poster had allready tried placing !pcspkr and !snd_pcsp in the MODULES array in /etc/rc.conf, which on most (older?) computers should be enough to disable the internal speakers system-wide. Did you try that too? You can test the procedure without rebooting by running:

As for disconnecting the cable to the internal speaker, I don't think it was intended as a joke. I've done the procedure before, and at least on my desktop computer the internal speaker was quite easy to locate, and it was connected to the motherboard by a single, easily removable cable. If you're on a laptop however, the procedure might be a bit more bothersome.

9i report won't die after completing successfully

We are running 9iAS 9.0.2.2 and 9iDB 9.2.0.3, all machines are Linux RedHat Linux.
We have a development 9iAS server whose reports run and cleanup successfully off the 9iDB, and we have 3x9iAS production servers (when we go live) that run reports but they do NOT cleanup successfully. That is, both the main report process and the 9i DBMS_DEBUG / DBMS_PIPE special process persist in the 9iDB after the run has finished.
Does anyone know why one 9iAS report request cleans up and the other 9iAS report request does not clean up. This is a 100% repeatable activity.
Is there some hand-shaking between the 9iAS and 9iDB that could be different between the two 9iAS boxes?
Where would I look to find them? I am not a server techie, I need help on this.
I need an answer in 24 hours please.

We worked with Oracle Support using ODC and they determined that the rwrun.jar on the two machines was different. What we had done was apply one-off patch p2938002_9022_GENERIC to the 'prod' machines and this caused our problem.

Session won't die

I have an UPDATE query running which updates ~25,000 records from an external table, like:
update internal_table it
set field = (select field from external_table et where it.pk = et.pk)
Once I'd noticed it had been running at almost 100% CPU (according to OEM) for 60 minutes, I issused:
alter system kill session '216,64342' immediate;
In fact, I've issued it over 10 times in the last hour, which puts the query at 2 hours of run time.
Is there any other recourse to stop this process and roll it back?

When you kill a session, it needs to roll back all of the work done up to the time you killed it before it can go away. If the session ran for 1 hour before you killed it, it would likely need at least 1 hour to rollback the work already done.
Killing the O/S process will make it appear to go away faster, but the rollback is stil happening.

Email won't die

I delete emails but they keep reappearing when my account refreshes. POP3 and I have it set for Delete from server when deleted from inbox.
Anyone know how to fix this? Ipad2

I have the same problem. The same 300 mails keep downloading in mail on my mac book pro with newly installed osx snow leopard 10.6.3. This does not happen on my i phone or on another profile.
Tech support is still trying to help. I have to wait a few days until they can get back to me.
