Sa-update runs but rules don't seem to execute after restore
Hello,
After a hardware-related issue I needed to do a server restore. In general, things seem to be up and running.
One problem: the spam volume has increased. As I scanned through sample messages, I think the issue is that the rule sets that sa-update keeps current are downloading but not actualy being run. I don't see any errors to suggest per se, just circumstanial indications elsewhere. For example, the additional scoring parameters aren't showing up in headers added by amavisd in the mail messages, suggesting they're not being run.
I am admittedly not very experienced with managing the rule sets. If anyone has any advice on what's going on (or a means to verify that they are running) -- I would be most appreciative.
Thanks.
Hi Joe,
Actually I was accessing DU with the restore disk in the drive, but no menu. Didn't have to hold any key down during startup. It would either want to install or give me access to DU. I did all the DU stuff numerous times. Sometimes it would give me errors on verify at which point I would repair until it said it was ok, other times it said it was ok. After each time, I tried to install...no go.
Holding C down only gives me the ? screen. I have to hold Option. That's how I figured out how to get to the cd's menu. Tried DU fixes from there...no go. I'm on my second attempt at restoring, but the copying bar is moving so slowly that it will take days at this rate. It's about 1/10th of the way after about 3 hours now. At this point I don't even think it's making any progress. No sounds from the optical drive. I think I hear the hd working, but not positive.
The first time it seemed to stall, I forced quit and when I went to DU, it showed Powerbook G4 software on the HD, which is what the optical drive lists is on the cd. It still wouldn't start without the cd in there tho. How long should this restore take if it's working?
This is driving me nuts...very frustrating. Nothing about a pc seems to apply here. At least on a pc, when you erase &/or partition a drive, you can install the os. I am absolutely regretting not getting a pc notebook instead. I'm a Digital Media Design student and instead of working elsewhere on projects that have deadlines, I'm not only not working on my projects, but am stuck at home bouncing between 3 computers (pc for internet, imac for converting downloaded files that aren't helping, and getting absolutely nowhere with this notebook. Sorry for venting, but I'm pretty proud of myself for not using profanity at this point.

Updates to Photoshop CC don't seem to work.
I've installed Photoshop CC, Lightroom CC and Bridge CC, and they seem to work properly.
Several times a day, the update dialogue appears, announcing that updates are available (bug fixes). Several times I've clicked the blue Update buttons, and they appear to show the updates being installed (the bar progresses to 100% and the green check mark appears.) But then the next day the same dialogue appears, announcing updates available.
I can't tell whether the updates failed to install, despite the indicators showing they did. Or if the updates did install, maybe the update manager can't figure that out.
Thanks greatly for any help you can give me.My current Bridge CC version is 6.0.1.6
Current Extension Manager CC version is 7.1.1.32
Current Photoshop CC version is 14.1.2 x 64
Current Camera Raw CC version is 8.3.0.141
I updated all the above again today. The version numbers were identical, ie unchanged, before and after the "update."
I see that others seem to be experiencing the same problem. -
I am new to using a Mac. How do I delete emails without opening them? Using my old PC it was possible to delete suspect emails prior to opening them, however I don't seem to be given this option. If I click on a message it opens straight away and I am worried about opening emails when I don't know where they are from. Thanks
All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

[SOLVED] jack2dbus is running but I can't seem to use Qtractor/Ardour
Hello,
Earlier I had alsa installed together with jack2 and both worked fine - I could record my songs in Qtractor without any problems.
But I reecently bought GuitarPro software for Linux which needs a pulseaudio to work. So I installed the pulseaudio and It is
working fine by itself. I can start/stop it using commands:
pulseaudio --start
pulseaudio --kill
Now the problems begin. I had to uninstall jack2 and swap it for jack2dbus which works with pulseaudio (jack2 doesn't). I allso
wrote two scripts for starting the jack2dbus in two separate configurations
Hardware default audio (Nvidia) for playback and USB audio interface (Scarlet 2i4) for recording:
#!/bin/bash
jack_control start
jack_control eps realtime true
jack_control ds alsa
jack_control dps period 265
jack_control dps playback hw:0,0
jack_control dps capture hw:USB
USB audio interface (Scarlet 2i4) for playback and recording.
#!/bin/bash
jack_control start
jack_control eps realtime true
jack_control ds alsa
jack_control dps device hw:USB
jack_control dps period 265
THE START PROCEDURE
I first start the pulseaudio and check if it is running.
$ pulseaudio --start
$ ps aux | grep pulse
ziga 4171 48.0 0.2 520004 15328 ? S<l 14:22 0:00 pulseaudio --start
ziga 4176 0.0 0.0 76628 2552 ? S 14:22 0:00 /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
ziga 4179 0.0 0.0 10820 1076 pts/2 S+ 14:22 0:00 grep pulse
then I start the jack server using one of the scripts above and check if jack is running.
$ jack_control status
--- status
started
At this instance when everything seems to be running when I start Qtractor or Ardour I allways get the error.
The audio/MIDI engine could not be started! In the image check allso the console in the background.
I get some prompt about pulseaudio "module-jackdbus-detect" when I 1st shutdown jack, then kill pulseaudio
and restarting it using different command than before. Could this be the clue to what is wrong? Please help a bit.
$ jack_control stop
--- stop
$ pulseaudio --kill
$ pulseaudio
W: [pulseaudio] pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting.
E: [pulseaudio] module-jackdbus-detect.c: Failed to parse channels= argument.
E: [pulseaudio] module.c: Failed to load module "module-jackdbus-detect" (argument: ""): initialization failed.

Quite impossible to guess what the issue could be from that error.
I suggest trying if you can get jack working using the legacy jackd. Even if that won't work you may get more useful error message.
Btw, if you install the jack2 package it includes both jackdbus and jackd, so it should be ok in your case, unless you absolutely want to get rid of the old jackd.
OK thank you for the sugestion. I did uninstall jack2-dbus and installed jack2 together with a python2-dbus dependancy. Then I killed pulseaudio and tried to start jack server.
It was unsucessfull but as you said I did get some more feedback. I saw that priority is only 10. IS it possible this is too low? Where can I set this parameter?

Firewall rules don't seem to be working correctly
i have my firewall turned on and have rules for itunes and jungle disk to all incoming, but itunes still alerts me to change firewall settings to allow sharing, which is an annoyance, but jungledisk will not work with me adding a rule, it seems as if i have to the firewall off completely for these to work. Also my screensharing will not work now either, but i have no problem with any other apps like skype where the rules work fine. Any suggestions?
Great news, thanks!

I recently changed IP providers and have changed my email account to a personal domain. I have changed the forwarding process with my domain, but the emails are still going to the old provider server. I have been checking my old email through webmail. My domain provider wants to see an email that's going to a wrong forwarding, and they want to see it with the header information. It seems that I am missing a toolbar because when I try to follow their instructions for opening the header info., the toolbar that I need is not there.
