  • FF29 fails to load Session Manager, old tabs, any add-ons, Cool Preview, etc after upgrade on XP

    FF29 fails to load Session Manager, old tabs, any add-ons, Cool Preview, etc after forced upgrade on an XP system. Connecting to sites, especially support.mozilla.org requires numerous retries. Clicking Add0on shows none of the previous working ones. They are gone. No Session Manager at all. Even reporting this has taken over 3 hours. Yesterday, everything worked fine before the restart to 29. What can be done to recover settings from 2-3 days ago? Thanks for keeping it simple!

    Thank you for your question. Once history is gone, there is not a big chance of getting it back. However there are some places to check. For next time, try to backup your profile [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup].
    The crash reports from your troubleshooting information is caused by a hang in the Flash plug in version 13. I understand however that this is an issue with the history.

  • XFDesktop not running, FAILED TO CONNECT TO SESSION MANAGER [SOLVED]

    Hi all, new to the arch forums, I've recently installed arch with xfce4, and I've been having trouble changing the desktop background as the GUI for it will flash up then close instantly. I tried to reload xfdesktop with xfdesktop --reload, this returns "xfdesktop is not running". Running $ sudo xfdesktop returns:
    (xfdesktop:5211): GLib-WARNING **: (gerror.c:381):g_error_new_valist: runtime check failed: (domain != 0)
    Failed to connect to session manager: Failed to connect to the session manager: SESSION_MANAGER environment variable not defined
    xfdesktop: cairo-scaled-font.c:459: _cairo_scaled_glyph_page_destroy: Assertion `!scaled_font->cache_frozen' failed.
    Also, when I look in xfce4-session-settings, all xfce applications are running but xfdesktop isn't there.
    Thanks in advance

    Prepending sudo to random commands will eventually break your system.  Don't do it.
    In this case it simply prevents it from working as the session manager is running for your user not for the root user, so this command has nothing to connect to.  Remove 'sudo'.
    If I run just $ xfdesktop I then get the same error

  • FULL HOT Backup failing with a 6 on media management layer....

    Hi all,
    My thanks in advance for reading and any posts. Appologies for the long post, but wanted to make sure I got all information required into the post
    *******************The background*************************
    We are currently doing full hot backups of all production databases to tape. The database we use is RAC install (9.2.0.6.0) on Linux Redhat Enterprise 4 (database on OCFS). We use a seperate Solaris 8 box with 2 HP Ultium tape drives over a standard Cat5 line (100mb), we use Veritas Netbackup 5.1 as our media manager and we use an RMAN repositry on another box. Currently the backup is taking on average 17 hours to complete (something that I have been through with Oracle).
    We use the below rman script to do the full database backup.
    DATE=`date +%m%d%Y-%H%M%S`; export DATE
    USER=`id | cut -f2 -d"(" | cut -f1 -d")"`

    Now due to the backup taking so long, we often have archive log backups that kick off. We generally get Restore Validates of this backup once a week.
    *********************************Problem*******************************
    Getting to the problem, the media manager generally completes the job with a 6, which in Veritas means that the backup failed to back up the requested files. I guess that this could be something to do with the media manager layer. But myself and my colleagues are of the opinion that this is something to do with the archive log backups running inbetween (hence the change archivelog all validate; appearing so many times in the script).
    Has anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks again for any posts / ideas,
    Mark.

    No I mean, it really tries to backup everything; control file, archive logs etc...
    Yeah I will admit its a bit strange, didn't code it myself. The idea was to do a bit a of house keeping at the same time with the archived redo logs (hence the file system stuff with the archived redo logs).
    You see we thought that this might be causing the issue.
    any ideas are welcomed,
    thanks again,
    Mark.

  • SnapManager For exchange - backup failing due to VSS snapshot timeout

    Hello, We back up an exchagne 2010 DAG with SnapManager for exchange running on VMware. Recently we've been encountering issues where the backup will fail and entries similar to the following are logged in the system log.The volumes are LUNs mounted with SnapDrive. The issues are being caused by a VSS snapshot timeout. I am new to SnapManager and NetApp in general, i am the exchange admin that took over management of an existing environment. Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? Thank You!  Log Name: System

If yes, did someone perform any changes (software installation, patch/hotfix installation due to MS patch day)Best regardsDirk  

  • FireFox STOPS saving session store backup!

    For a few years it's a VERY BIG problem with FireFox!
    It STOPs session saving after a while.
    IT IS NOT a plugin problem!
    IT IS NOT a settings problem!
    IT IS NOT a my stupidity problem!
    IT IS SERIOUS PROBLEM in FIREFOX CODE!
    I do use Firefox..... NO! I do use all the mainstream browsers since first versions of Netscape and IE born!
    In my PCs all 5 current mainstream browsers are installed - IE, FF, Chrome, Opera and Safari (for Win)
    All these browsers have their own pros and contras and all they are in use concurrently or momentarily.
    Mostly used are FF and Opera. Chrome is less used (due to its extremal privacy violation). IE is used for particular purposes primarily ActiveX related, and Safari is rarely used for checking compatibility.
    I'm using FF since v!.x or 2.x
    I have 14 FF profiles in my FF AppData folder and I KNOW WTF I SAY!
    I can't particularly remember what FF version was firstly appeared to be fault, but it was i long ago. A few years ago. I can definitely say it wasn't some of stable 3.x versions.
    Usually I have hundreds of tabs opened at the moment. (Maximum counted is about 370 and it was Opera 9.x on the PC w/1.5GB of RAM)
    It's not a 'quantity' game. I do read hundreds of pages every day and forced to open more and more tabs looking for additional info. I can't close many tabs before I will have complete problem description in my mind and can point and save just a valuable info, which really helps to solve problem. Frequently I should solve a few problems at the same time. While some info is inaccessible or not yet found I switch to another problem and trying to solve it. It's a job and creative process.
    I was very discouraged when I lost a few hundreds of tabs 1st time (since great recovery options first time appeared in browsers). I thought the problem is random, later I thought the problem will be solved in the next releases of FF because it's unbelievable that millions of peoples in the world are using FF and no one have reported such a serious bug. Later I just tried to save sessionstore files manually in the middle of work. I don't like to complain neither ask for help. At first I do my own research and trying to help others with many complicated things. But this problem too complicated for me. FF's sources should occupy a few hundred megs. I should spend at least months to explore code w/o any warranty I could fix the problem. It's too expensive... People who develop this code can fix it many times faster end easier.
    When I saw FF changed session recovery format (which means for me complete module rework) about a year ago and hoped the problem will now should be completely resolved, but NO! It was not resolved in any way.
    I'd experienced this problem ALWAYS with any version of FF (for at least a few years), on ANY PC (I have a few decades) and any modern Windows OS (XP/V/7/32/64/etc), with a 500MB profile with a few plugins installed and with completely new and clear default profile!
    Just try yourself. Setup new profile and work a few days or weeks on any theme(s). Do not close tabs (at least ones, which you wanna explore once more). If your PC has 2-4Gb of RAM you will notice FF stopped to save session info after you will have a 50-100 tabs opened (you'll see sessionstore.js or session-backups\*.js script files reached 15-20-30MB long and stopped to change and it's LastMod date/time(s) are frozen) and after the moment some stupid most probably Ad-related and most probably "Java related" script will hang your FF you will notice all recent tabs (opened a few minutes or a few days ago) gone from recovery.
    I just lost a two days of hard work in a 100-200 tabs related on rare player HW/SW recovery and modding (but God saved a few hundred of previous tabs related to some mobile hacking). I've noticed FF started to hang more and more and checked previous.js, recovery.bak, recovery.js was last modified on Apr, 14 but today is Apr, 16! I've lost one more hour trying to save tabs, even installed Session Manager, promised session saving on user demand but after a half hour of action against hanging FF, plugin showed me that I have NO ONE tab to save. I've managed to copy a few URLs to the text file before FF have completely fallen.
    FF is less RAM consuming but more exposed to CPU overload than WebKit based Chrome and Opera. Safari for Win is just a bunch of bugs. Old Presto based Opera was really fast and resource effective but it was dropped due to "technology" requirements. Chrome and Opera save session info reliable (only rare random problems could occur), but they fall sooner because of RAM overload. And certainly FF has best plugin collection which overcomes Crome's and especially Opera's.
    On other hand Opera has integrated Session manager and you can save all or particular tabs and windows at any moment.
    Sure such feature should be integrated to all browsers. It should be reliable, made at native C level, not at limited and unreliable JS/plugin level as it done in FF Session Manager plugin. User should have an option to save his work at any moment and in any situation, then open it anywhere. Cloud sync can not be offered as the only option. There are many security related objects around and I will never send them (by my will) to any clouds except ones made and completely controlled by me or my structure. I've enough hardware, knowledge and other resources to save my data on my own storage. :)
    On my hand today there are too much "technologies" around. That's ENOUGH!
    Reliability and resource economy should be preferred as the main goal!
    If someone of devs is ready to spend enough time and fix this really annoying and resource consuming issue feel free to contact me and tell me what logs to collect on event.
    P.S. It's time to appear some JS-ProcessExplorer (executed scripts manager) for Browser. Scripts became too powerful, resource expensive and aggressive.
    AdBlock can't eliminate all (btw it's main goal is Ads).
    There should be the way to explore and kill particular scripts by hand, ones which hang and other way disturb stability of browser and user's work! I see no other way out.

    Okay, that's a lot of information. I think the key part for support purposes is this:
    ''TheDrive [[#question-1057777|said]]''
    <blockquote>

    You're not the first person to report that the sessionstore.js or recovery.js file stopped updating with new activity. However, it's rare enough that I can't recall whether we have gotten to the bottom of it in a previous thread. I'll see whether I can search it up.
    Meanwhile, someone might be able to come up with a way to watch for problems and extract some debug information, but I'm not personally familiar with such tools.

  • ACS 5.3.0.40 On-demand Full Backup failed.

    Hi,
    I have ACS 5.3.0.40 Primary Secondary Authenticators , of which the Scheduled backup has stopped.
    When checked the :
    Monitoring Configuration >
    System Operations >
    Data Management >
    Removal and Backup
    > Incremental Backup , it had changed to OFF mode. without any reason.
    The same was observed earlier too.
    I have made the
    Incremental Backup to ON and intiated the
    View Full Database Backup Now. But it wasn't successful and reported an Error:
    FullBackupOnDemand-Job Incremental Backup Utility System Fri Dec 28 11:56:57 IST 2012 Incremental Backup Failed: CARS_APP_BACKUP_FAILED : -404 : Application backup error Failed
    Later i did the acs stop/start  "view-jobmanager" and  initiated the On-demand Full Backup , but no luck, same error reported this time too.
    Has any one faced similar type of error /problem reported , please let me know the solution.
    Thanks & Regards.

    One other thing; if this does end up being an issue with disk space it is worth considering patch 5.3.0.40.6 or later since improves database management processes
    This cumulative patch includes fixes/enhancements related to disk management to avoid following issue
    CSCtz24314: ACS 5.x *still* runs out of disk space
    and also fix for
    CSCua51804: View backup fails   even when there is space in disk
    Following is taken from the readme for this patch
       The Monitoring and Reporting database can increase when as records are collected. There are two mechanisms to reduce this size and prevent it from exceeding the maximum limit.
    1. Purge: In this mechanism the data will be purged based on the configured data retention period or upon reaching the upper limit of the database.
    2. Compress: This mechanism frees up unused space in the database without deleting any records.
    Previously the compress option could only be run manually. In ACS 5.3 Patch 6 there are enhancements so it will run daily at a predefined time, automatically when specific criteria are met. Similarly by default purge job runs every day at 4 AM. In Patch 6 new option provided to do on demand purge as well.
    The new solution is to perform the Monitoring and Reporting database compress automatically.
    2.       New GUI option is provided to enable the Monitoring and Reporting database compress to run on every day at 5 AM. This can be configured under GUI Monitoring And Configuration -> System Operations -> Data Management -> Removal and Backup
    3.       Changed the upper and lower limit of purging of Monitoring and Reporting data. This is to make sure at lower limit itself ACS has enough space to take the backup. The maximum size allocated for monitoring and reporting database is 42% of /opt( 139 GB). The lower Limit at which ACS purges the data by taking the backup is 60% of maximum size Monitoring and Reporting database (83.42 GB). The upper limit at which ACS purges the data without taking backup is 80% of maximum size Monitoring and Reporting database (111.22 GB).
    4. The acsview-database compress operation stops all services till 5.3 patch 5 , now only Monitoring and Reporting related services are stopped during this operation.
    5. Provided “On demand purge” option in Monitoring and Reporting GUI. This option will not try to take any backup, it will purge the data based on window size configured.
    6. Even if the “Enable ACS View Database compress” option is not enabled in GUI then also automatic view database compress will be triggered if the physical size of Monitoring and Reporting database reached to the upper limit of its size.
    7. This automatic database compress takes place only when the “LogRecovery” feature is enabled, this is to make sure that the logging which happens during this operation will be recovered once this operation is completed. ACS generates alert when there is a need to do automatic database compress and also to enable this feature.
    8. Before enabling “LogRecovery” feature configure the Logging Categories in such way that only mandatory data to log into Local Log Target and Remote Log Target as Log collector under System Administration > ... > Configuration > Log Configuration
    This “LogRecovery” feature can recover the logs only if the logs are present under local log target.
    9       This automatic database compress operation also performed only when the difference between actual and physical size of Monitoring and Reporting database size is > 50GB.
    10 The new CLI “acsview” with option “show-dbsize” is provided to show the actual and physical size of the Monitoring and Reporting database. This is available in “acs-config” mode.
               acsview     show-dbsize     Show the actual and physical size of View DB and transaction log file

  • ICloud backups failing due to Safari bookmarks DB being locked

    iCloud backups are failing to complete on my iPhone 4 (CDMA), iOS 5.0.1.  I successfully completed a backup on November 9, but haven't been able to get a backup to complete since then.  When I manually invoke the "Back Up Now" function, it starts backing up, then says "There was a problem completing the backup.  Please try again later."
    Looking in the console logs (below), it appears the problem is that the Safari bookmarks DB is locked (corrupted?).  Indeed, I am unable to add additional bookmarks in Safari, I get the message: "Bookmarks are being synced.  Please add the bookmark once syncing has completed."
    I've tried restarting the iPhone to no avail; I've also looked at Apple's iCloud backup troubleshooting doc, and none of the cases there seemed to match this problem.
    Any suggestions ar every much appreciated!
    Here is what the iPhone console says:

    Had same problem, the solution lies with having your original apple ID associated email address "verified".
    I may not have all the steps down correctly, but open your apple ID account manager and go to the your listing for email and "verify" the email address.  This association then seems to allow the use of your email address when you are trying to set up this new apple ID that they are requiring for iCloud.
    Be aware that this new apple ID has a far reach and apparently cannot be undone, that is you can't change the name, characters, numbers or whatever you have for an email address that becomes your apple ID---even if you can no longer use the email address to receive email.
    Lots of luck.
    I have been trying to get the iCloud features to work for over a week now, including a visit to a genius bar, and still not fully functioning.

  • My iPhone won't back up to iCloud it says backup failed after I increased my storage plan. How can I fix that and which email can I sen to if I want to refund the storage I bought on iCloud. It says I have 15 days to return.

    Which email should I send to for a refund on iCloud storage within 15 day period. Also the iPhone won't back up to iCloud it keeps saying backup failed even when I log out of iCloud and log back in how can I fix that?

    If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • Time machine backup fails; error creating folder. Western Digital drive requires password which is perhaps/likely the issue. I can't eliminate the password/encryption.

    Time Machine backup fails on new WD external drive (My Passport Studio); error creating folder (after several hours of Time Machine apparently working).
    Background: I purchased a Western Digital drive from an Apple Store to use for Time Machine backup.  I followed the Western Digital instructions that came with the drive for Mac. I didn't get the Time Machine prompt which the instructions indicated I would receive--namely to select whether I want to encrypt my Time Macine backups. (I already have a Time Machine backup I use at another location, which is perhaps why I didn't receive a prompt.)
    I decided to install the Western Digital utilities and security software that comes on the disk--with a view to potentially encrypting the disk (since I still wanted to have an encrypted backup since I was mobile). I forgot that (from experience 2-years previous) that I shouldn't install Western Digital software because it just makes life really complicated.
    I tried several times to do a Time Machine backup with failures each time (error creating the backup folder). I tried to get help from WD but I don't think the technicians were following what my issue was. Potentially I was not helpful in explaining it. I deleted the WD applications from my system after the first contact with WD. However the problem persisted--I still had an encrypted hard drive. After three phone sessions with three different WD techs I still could not get a solution. (By the second call I was not at all interested in having an encrypted drive--I just wanted to format and restore the drive to an unencrypted state so that I could have SOME kind of Time Machine backup.)
    I still don't have a solution--either to get Time Machine working with the WD encryption/password on the drive, or to remove the encryption so I can backup. Right now my options are to return the drive to the Apple Store -- or get a return authorization from WD. Seems crazy since the drive is fine and I have the working password.

    Never install "helpful software" provided by WD and Seagate (or any HD mfg.)
    All such stuff is fluff and nonsense that interferes with normal HD operation.
    Always when you buy a new HD, format it for Mac and then use it to TM backup or clone a HD, or archive data.
    Less is more on HD new out of box.  A "blank brick", no fluff and cotton candy software

  • Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error

    Hi All,
    Please help me to understand Caution -section

    Backup Fails with Invalid RECID Error: Solution 2
    This solution is more difficult than solution 1:
    To create the control file with SQL*Plus:
       1. Connect to the target database with SQL*Plus. For example, enter:
          % sqlplus 'SYS/oracle@trgt AS SYSDBA'
       2. Mount the database if it is not already mounted:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE MOUNT;
       3. Back up the control file to a trace file:
          SQL> ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;
       4. Edit the trace file as necessary. The relevant section of the trace file looks something like the following:
          # The following commands will create a new control file and use it
          # to open the database.
          # Data used by the recovery manager will be lost. Additional logs may
          # be required for media recovery of offline data files. Use this
          # only if the current version of all online logs are available.
          STARTUP NOMOUNT
          CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "TRGT" NORESETLOGS  ARCHIVELOG
          --  STANDBY DATABASE CLUSTER CONSISTENT AND UNPROTECTED
              MAXLOGFILES 32
              MAXLOGMEMBERS 2

          # Recovery is required if any of the datafiles are restored backups,
          # or if the last shutdown was not normal or immediate.
          RECOVER DATABASE
          # All logs need archiving and a log switch is needed.
          ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG ALL;
          # Database can now be opened normally.
          ALTER DATABASE OPEN;
          # Commands to add tempfiles to temporary tablespaces.
          # Online tempfiles have complete space information.
          # Other tempfiles may require adjustment.
          ALTER TABLESPACE TEMP ADD TEMPFILE '/oracle/oradata/trgt/temp01.dbf' REUSE;
          # End of tempfile additions.
       5. Shut down the database:
          SHUTDOWN IMMEDIATE
       6. Execute the script to create the control file, recover (if necessary), archive the logs, and open the database:
          STARTUP NOMOUNT
          CREATE CONTROLFILE ...;
          EXECUTE ...;
          RECOVER DATABASE
          ALTER SYSTEM ARCHIVE LOG CURRENT;
          ALTER DATABASE OPEN ...;
    Caution:
          If you do not open with the RESETLOGS option,
    then two copies of an archived redo log for a given log sequence number may
    exist--even though these two copies have completely different contents.
    For example, one log may have been created on the original host and the other on the new host.
    If you accidentally confuse the logs during a media recovery,
    then the database will be corrupted but Oracle and RMAN cannot detect the problem.

    If you accidentally confuse the logs during a media recovery,
    then the database will be corrupted but Oracle and RMAN cannot detect the problem.As per my understanding it says. If you don't open database with RESETLOGS option then there may be archived logs with log sequence number which is already archived on the source host. This may happen due to difference in RECIDs. Now when the database needs media recovery for this particular log sequence, you may provide any of them. So in this case, RMAN and Oracle will not be able to differentiate the two files and can accept any of the archived log files during recovery. Since the contents of two archived logs are different, because they are generated at different times and they contains different transactions. So, internally it corrupts your database.

  • RMAN Backup Failed.

    Hi Gurus,
    My RMAN backup failed with below error.Please suggest.

    Thanks,

    The message indicates that your database is in NOARCHIVELOG mode. You cannot make an RMAN Backup of a database that is OPEN if it is in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
    You have two options
    1. Make consistent RMAN Backups with the database only in MOUNT mode (SHUTDOWN ; STARTUP MOUNT)
    OR
    2. Configure for ArchiveLogs (create a target filesystem or FRA), set the database to ARCHIVELOG mode, monitor the volume of ArchiveLog generation, configure both Database and ArchiveLog backups.

  • RMAN backup fails using OEM with no output error

    I am trying to do a weekly automatic full backup of a database in noarchivelog mode using RMAN in Enterprise Manager. Every time I submit the backup job (even if I try to do an immediate backup) the job fails almost immediately. When I Iook at the job output for the failed attempt, it says that there is no output for the job. I believe I have all of the preferred credentials and priveleges correct. Does anyone have any ideas as to what the problem could be or maybe where I can find an error log for rman to get a better explanation of the error?
    Thanks

    please check in metalink.....
