Sdl_mixer: could not open requested file [solved]

I am new to the arch linux community, but i love arch. I'm a relative newbie to linux, but i can find my way around a command line. I have just returned to linux after not using it for a while and I started having a problem with my sound. I first noticed the problem when I tried playing a video in gmplayer and it wouldn't play unless i set the sound driver to null because of a sound error. Now, if I played the same video on mplayer it worked fine. I can also play music in XMMS. Then, today i installed the FPS engine Cube. When I started it from root, it worked fine. But if i started it from my normal user account, an error message saying the sound can't be initialized because the sdl mixer couldn't open the requested file. I tried playing movies in GMplayer under root and they worked fine, but still wouldn't under my normal account. I'm assuming it has something to do with a file's permissions, but I don't know which file or where to find it. Any help?

Multiplayer as root wouldn't be a good idea though, so I'll stay away from that.
Ideally they should be run as a user, but here you don't have much choice. I would guess that it's OK, but I'm not a security expert.
omgpro wrote:If could be the soundcard maybe? I noticed it said you have a 16 bit sound card, which I think i do too. I'm using the one out of my Mom's old old box. Your smc error said basically the same thing my cube error did. I need a new sound card anyways, so I could look into that to see if it fixes the problem.
I'm using a Intel onboard sound card. It uses the snd_intel8x0 module. SMC was working a while ago. It was on another laptop but at the end it also had the sound problem. I would think that it's not a hardware issue. I will try an old version of smc to see if I can get sound
omgpro wrote:By the way, if you have gmplayer, could you try running that and see if the sound works? I'm pretty sure it used to work for me in the past; I'm not sure what happened.
I get sound from gmplayer ( tried with mp3 and mpeg). Maybe it was broke by an upgrade (check /var/log/pacman.log). Or try to update your system.

UCCX 8.0 CAD: Can you disable auto update? Error: "unable to download file" Could not open request.

I have a UCCX 8.0 (2) Installed.
Users here have limited access via proxy. Now everytime i try to run the CAD or CSD, i get the error:
"unable to download file" Could not open request.
It seems to want to install or check for an update.
The work around i have found is to go to the CAD directory and change the update.exe filename
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\CAD\bin\update.exe
i dont want to have to do this for every user as i possibly want the update.
Is there a way to allow or bypass proxy on CAD?
Regards
J

I had this problem before - to resolve it I disabled the proxy in internet explorer settings.
You'll need to make sure the CAD version matches your UCCX server version. Otherwise you may run in to issues.

Could not open the file

I had worked on the Illustrator CC 2014 with 19 slices of PDF presentation file for my assignment even in 15 minutes ago, and before closing it previous time, I have saved the file, and restarted my laptop, tried to open the PDF file again, but the message of "Could not open the file" was appeared each time I have tried to open it. I wonder what is wrong with it. And I do really have to working on it right now. Here I am attaching the pictures and please solve this problem. Thank you

Does it open in Acrobat?
Did it really complete saving? Or did it crash or did you abort the saving process?
In case you can open it in Acrobat, the PDF part of the file is still intact. Then you could create a niew file in Illustrator and place your file in it. Of course then most editing features will be lost, but at least you've got the content.
Use this script to place all pages at once:

Could not open the file. An internal error occurred.

Hi,
Anyone can solve my problem? Urgent!
I can't open a png file. Others files was ok, just only one file can't open after save.

I have installed an Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux Server 6.6 (Virtualbox). I have the users grid and oracle11g. Add groups and install grid infrastructure first as a grid user and install database as oracle user as in documentation successfully.
I have following users and groups as
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ id grid
   uid=501(grid) gid=502(oinstall) groups=502(oinstall),492(vboxsf),501(grid),503(dba),505(asmdba),506(asmadmin),507(asmoper)

.bash_profile edited for oracle11g user as

Also when I log on as a grid user again and use following commands to shutdown and start database again the STATUS of instance is again STARTED not OPEN.
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ srvctl stop database -d ora11g -o normal
[grid@orcl11g ~]$ srvctl start database -d ora11g
And also when I edit /etc/oratab file. I change N to Y for +ASM. But when restart system it seems not changed value is N again.
    +ASM:/u01/app/grid/product/11.2.0/grid:N   # line added by Agent
     ora11g:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:Y
NOW QUESTIONS!!!!!
1. Why I can't change the status of database to OPEN as grid user?
2. The status is always STARTED when querying v$instance. İs it status of +ASM or database?
3. When checking database as grid user it seems to be Database runnning... If running why it is not in OPEN state? What is running means here?
4. When I log on as oracle user and query v$instance, then error shown above occured. And also when startup the database then another error occured as in above. WHY?
5. When I edit /etc/oratab file manually why second row saved but the first one is changed after restart the system?
6. Normally, which user have to start, stop or manage database? I think that oracle user is necessary for managing database and the grid user is only for managing ASM and Oracle Restart.
PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS CHAOTİC SİTUATİON!!!
Thanks,

I have installed an Oracle 11gR2 on Oracle Linux Server 6.6 (Virtualbox)
Pl identify exact version of 11gR2 to 4 decimal places. As noted in your other thread - Failed to start oracle-ohasd, error: Inappropriate ioctl for device ohasd failed to start at roothas.pl - you will need a minimum version of 11.2.0.3 for Linux 6.x - using a lower version may result in unexpected issues or problems.

Thanks.

jhpereze,
Quit Safari, find the Cookies.plist file in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Cookies folder, drag it to your Desktop, log out/in or restart and let us know what happens.
If that is unsuccessful post your Safari crash log for further analysis.

The Applications File Server could not open the file

Hi All,
We have shared appl_top between 2 nodes.
When running concurrent request such as active user report, i got the following error:
The Applications File Server could not open the file oXXXXX.out for read
I have found metalink note
The Applications File Server could not open the file o611681.out for read (Doc ID 1311372.1)
The $APPLCSF are all fine and so are the permissions.
I found out if i start my primary node first, wait till concurrent manager start, then start second node, it would be ok.
is this recommended practice?
i thought i can start up all node at the same time.
am i right to say that the last node run adautocfg is the primary node?
Thanks in advance

I found out if i start my primary node first, wait till concurrent manager start, then start second node, it would be ok.
is this recommended practice?Do you have PCP implemented? If yes, you do not need to start the CMs on the second node and running adcmctl.sh script on the first node would be enough.
i thought i can start up all node at the same time.What exactly do you start?
am i right to say that the last node run adautocfg is the primary node?Please explain what components are running on each node.

RSCRM 085 Could not open the file

HI Guru's,
for two weeks we have trouble on RSCRM BAPI. we have a job which execute the function module to generate a file. yesterday we applied an OSS Note to solved the problem RSCRM164.
But now if i execute my process by the program i have the error RSCRM085 could not open the file.
If i execute the process by the transaction RSCRM_BAPI (with the same parameter) the generation is successfull.
Do you have an idea what problem i have ?
Thanks

Hello Cyril,
If you regenerate the coding and reactivate the program does it resolve the issue?

Could not open parameter file

Hi everyone,
I was installing oracle 11gr2 on fedora 14 2 weeks
I couldn't find any solve for "could not open parameter file"
I read a lot of forums but I could not
I haven' got any pfile or spfile
I have only $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/init.ora
I haven't got any control file
I installed again again but nothing change
What can I do ?
I set ORACLE_HOME, SID , BASE and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Sounds like you installed the Oracle software only. What did you install? You might want to run the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA) to create a database.

Could not open Help File 'Aperture User Manual.PDF'

I downloaded the trial version, while waiting for my boxed version of Aperture to arrive. Once it came in, I entered the serial number and continued using the original application. However, when I try to access the user manual via Help, I get an Alert saying, "Could not open Help File 'Aperture User Manual.PDF'". I manually copied the PDF file from the CD to the documents folder, and then from there to the Applications folder - nothing makes a difference. I even reinstalled - same results. I have tried some of the other items in Help -- if it is for a manual, I get the same Alert.
Any help would be appreciated.
Russ

The files are all there. When I checked their properties, I noticed that the PDF files didn't point to adobe acrobat reader!
Before uninstalling Aperture and then reinstalling it, I tried to reinstall the latest version of Acrobat Reader. Suddenly, I could access the Aperture documents!
I am using a new iMac -- apparently, when I transfered all of my files from my old G5 iMac, Acrobat hadn't properly transfered. Reinstalling Adoe solved the problem!
Thanks for the help!

I am trying to import developed images from LightRoom 5 Photoshop 6 for further editing. I am receiving this message and the images will not open.....'Could not open scratch file because the file is locked, or you do not have necessary access permissions or another program is using the file.

Have you tried restoring the Preferences yet?

Could not open scratch file

When I try and open Photoshop, I get the following error "Could not open a scratch file because you do not have the necessary access privileges" followed by "could not initialize Photoshop because you do not have the necessary access privileges". As a result, Photoshop fails o open.
I have tried repairing Disk permissions, I have deleted the Photoshop Settings file, and I have tried Resetting Home Folder Permissions.
I am the primary user, and it's only my user account that has the problem. When I try and Reset Home Folder Permissions for my account, the process never completes. When I perform the reset for the other users, it takes seconds.
I've tried reinstalling Photshop, but still get the same error and Photshop fails to start.
I concerned this is the beginning of a worsening problem with OSX LION.
Any suggestions???

Hi,
having the same problem here. We have 10 Mac Pro machines with OSX 10.6.8 and CS5 Photoshop 12.0.4. By now five of these machines have given the same error: "could not open scratch file because disc is not available" and "could not save ... because of a program error".
The scratch disk is the same one which has the system and it hasn't been touched.
I have repaired the disk permissions.
This just started two days ago and haven't noticed it before. Any clues what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Janne
