Settings get changed although no system update or manual change

I changed some settings in Gnome under Settings>>Preferences>>Keyboard and all was working fine.
I enjoyed the new settings for a few days, then today I just noticed that the settings are back to default, but I haven't performed a system update or changed any settings manually.
How, why and when do the settings change by themselves? I swear i'm not going crazy on this one! hehe

haha, Ok, well it's very wierd.
What i'm changing is the keyboard repeat delay and speed, and the cursor blink rate.
I just turned on the computer today and the settings were reset again. How strange! When i'm done working, i'm going to restart the computer and see if the settings get changed back magically...

Which phone model?

I am getting this mandatory webOS system update. do I really need to update this?

I am getting e-mails stateing the I need to Mandatory webOS system update. I do not use HP and do not use cloud, do I need to update this?

WebOS is the operating system for some mobile devices including late model Palms and some HP items. If you're not using any of these it's irrelevant to you.

System update for enhanced calling. Should I install it?

I had a LGG2 and I did the system upgrade a few months ago and it had screwed my phone up ended up having LG replace the phone. Now I have a system update that had been sent to me on this new phone. I have not installed it yet but it is already causing problems with my phone. It is slow to respond, it keeps turning my volume off on my ringer it freezes,and just shuts off. it started right after the update showed up on my phone. I can't imagine what problems will happen if I do install it. Any thoughts? It is obvious to me the system upgrades for this enhanced calling that is a problem. Any thoughts?

If you haven't installed the updates then your problems wouldn't be the update. I'd install it since it has already downloaded, or download if you haven't already. Honestly, install the update and disable the feature on your phone within the settings menu. Instead of having to go online to configure it, the update allows you to enable disable straight from the menu---settings screen. Try it if you want, it's great when it works, but also re-check your voice mail settings as the first time the update installed it changed my basic VM to basic visual vm. To use advanced calling or visual vm you must have data enabled always.

Hi,
I've been able to fully automate System Update distribution using Group Policy. this works perfectly.
I am now trying to achive the same functionality using scritps.
the problem: I get quite a few prompts for "License Agreement" - not the "master" initial one, only a few for the different installs.
here's my setup:
1. a local server is the repository.
2. I import a .reg file before installing "System Update" using an automated install.
3. after a restart, a command runs on the local machine.
here are the details:
registry settings:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update]
"LanguageOverride"="EN"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update\UserSettings\General]
"IgnoreLocalLicense"="YES"
"DisplayLicenseNotice"="NO"
"DisplayLicenseNoticeSU"="NO"
"ExtrasTab"="NO"
"RepositoryLocation1"="***my internal server here ****"
"RepositoryLocation2"=""
"RepositoryLocation3"=""
"NotifyInterval"="36000"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\System Update\UserSettings\Scheduler]
"SchedulerAbility"="YES"
"SchedulerLock"="LOCK"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Lenovo\MND\TVSUAPPLICATION]
*** network drive mapping here, this part works ***
also, I use this command to run the updates:
call "C:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\tvsu.exe" /CM -search A -action INSTALL -IncludeRebootPackages 1,3,4 -noicon
I am just about desperate... I would REALLY REALLY appreciate any help, hint etc :-)
Thanks for ...even trying... lol
regards,
Shay

System Update Error while loading

Having a problem with the ThinkVantage System Update Tool v3.14 running on T40 w/ XP SP2.
When I launch the tool I get the following error:
"A problem occurred while loading the System Update configuration settings. Please wait while System Update restarts."
I click OK for the error and System Update restarts and gets the very same error.... over and over again until I kill the Tvsukernel.exe.
I have uninstalled / reinstalled the app....yes with reboots in between.
I have validated that I have the latest .Net version
I get the same result if I launch System Update from Start Menu or within Lenovo ThinkVantage Toolbox.
I'm not using a proxy.
TVT Scheduler is running.
ANY Ideas anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated........... !

RSA1 - Source system connection : Change in logical system name

Dear friends,
Can you please tell me how can i change the logical system name for a source system connection.
There is no change in source system & source system connection check works well, just we have decided that from current logical system name SID_100 should be changed to SIDCLNT100.
Can i do this by running BDLS in BW for RSBASIDOC table from SID_100 to SIDCLNT100 ?
thanks
ashish

HI Sunny,
This is not the same problem, may be similar though..i am not getting a way.
let me describe u in a bit more details.
Currently, we have a working source system connection to a system SID_CLT. there is no change in source system.
now, can i change this system connection technical name from SID_CLT to SIDCLNT*** ..
thanks

How to Clear System Update Status

ThinkVantage System Update is repeatedly downloading and installing the ThinkPad Hotkey Integration Package. It tells me I have V 3.10.0000 installed and that the new version is V 3.11.0001. I allow it to install, but when I run TVSU again, it offers the same update. I've tried deferring the install and then installing offline, but nothing seems to work.
I've seen this issue with Windows updates and I know how to resolve it, but this is something completely different. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are permissions updated along with system updates?

I have heard that permissions are updated along with system updates and that I should use only the latest version of Disk Utility rather than the Disk Utility that is on the original Snow Leopard install disk. Is this true? In my experience, there are times when the install disk is the best choice for cleaning up a problem.

Sometimes default permissions may change with a system update. In that case there may also be an updated version of Disk Utility.
It's always best to repair permissions using the current version of Disk Utility installed in the Utilities folder. However there may be times when repairing the hard drive and permissions only can be done from an installer DVD. In any event DU relies on a database of permissions, now, rather than a built-in set of permissions. Since the database is located on the system disk that's being repaired it makes little difference whether permissions are repaired using a local copy of DU or the one on an installer DVD.

HT4623 My iPad is one of the original iPads. On settings, there is not a "software update" to click on. Any suggestions?

I have the original operating system that came with the original iPad. I have not updated. When I go to settings > general, there is not "system update" available to click on. How do I update?

Settings>General>Software Update is currently only available for IOS 5 and above.
If your are using IOS 4, you need to connect to iTune (computer) to update software

M93p tower - ThinkVantage System Update will not launch

I have an M93p tower, and for some reason System Update no longer starts successfully. The opening Lenovo logo showing Version 5 of System Update appears for 3-4 seconds and then disappears, but the actual program window never appears.
Same thing happens no matter whether I try to launch System Update directly from the Start Menu or from within Lenovo ThinkVantage Tools.
I have tried uninstalling System Update, and manually reinstalling the very latest version obtained from the Lenovo M93p driver/software download site. No change. Program window will still not launch even though the opening logo appears.
I have 10 other Lenovo machines (M91p, M92p, W530 laptop, multiple M93p SFF) and System Update has never failed to start on any of them. Only this one machine has this strange system appeared.
Any thoughts? Something I should look for in some log somewhere that might provide a clue?

Updating Lenovo System Updates

Lenovo Application Interface update will not install. Seems to download OK. Tried installing maually and later but neither works. What's up with that?
thanks

What is your machine type and model? What operating system and version, ie win7 pro? Was this update via System Update or manual download from Lenovo. If manual download, what is the .exe name of the install package. What are the symptoms of the install failure, ie any message, error screens, etc.

Manual Change Revision Level in Production Order

Dear guru ,
The revision level in the production order (for material to be produced and for the component) isn't manual changeable.
Does exist a chance for a manual change of revision level ?
Thanks in advance.

Dear Suresh ,
i know the link with ECM. In production order i can change the component revision level if i work with bom explosion date in read PP master data. But this solution isn't flexible. Imagine that i want to read PP master data with different explosion date for different component ...
Why in the purchase order the system allow a manual change of revision level and this chance doesn't exist in production order ?
Thanks in advance.

Interface getting failed after changing the Business system to that service

Hello All,
Our Env... is XI 3.0 and this is related to produciton env.
Based on our client requirment to change the business system from client 871 to 100 for one of the R3 system which is reciever type(rfc).
After doing all the necessary changes , that particular service is getting failed and in the CC monitoring for that service I can see the log as "RFC_ERROR_LOGIN_FAILURE" mandate 871 (earlier client) does not exist in the system.
The steps which I have followed to change the Business system.
1>I loged into the SLD of PRD system and clicked on businsess landscape .then i have clicked on the specified system to be changed (RY1 ) and then clicked on change mode and selected the required client (100) and saved the settings.
2>I have logged into ID(Integration Directory) and selected the service (RY1) which need to be changed .Under service -->Adaper specific -->compare sld configurations and then clicked on apply changes.
3>Now selected that communication channel of service (RY1) RFCRecieverR3 and changed the client 871 to 100 and the password of user XIRFCUSER ...
Then i saved the changes and after that i have activated that interface.
After that when i logged into CC monitoring and viewed that service channels and see the following errors:
Receiver channel 'RFCReceiverR3' for party '', service 'RY1'
Error can not instantiate RfcPool caused by:
com.sap.aii.af.rfc.RfcAdapterException: error initializing RfcClientPool:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.repository.RfcRepositoryException: can not connect to destination system due to: com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (103) RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: Mandante 871 não existente no sistema (selecionar mandante existente)
Can any one help me out of this situation , and i need to fix this ASAP as this is production system.
Awaiting for your reply.
Best Regards
Rakesh Reddy

Hello Nisar
Thanks for the update,
Let me say few points about this particular problem:
1>The interface "XX" from XI sends data to two systems( R3 -->RP1 & RY1), some thing like branched (same data is passed to both the reciever systems).
And the second RY1 is copy of First system RP1 (Production sys) which is used for data loading purpose and every week there will be a refresh from First sys (RP1) to Second(RY1).
2>Now the first sys(RP1) is recieving the data successfully from XI , and the second one (RY1) is getting failed .And this started after changing the Business system 871 to 100 .
3>As mentioned by you , I have checked all the points mentioned
    i)In SM59 for XI (ABAP part) two rfc's are maintained (LCRSAPRFC & SAPSLDAPI) and the test connection is also fine...But I did not find these two connections in reciever systems(RP1 & RY1 too).
   ii)In reciever system RY1 ,when i went to RZ70 , i did not noticed any special settings and SLD Bridge :Gateway Information is not maitained over there .and the same thing in other reciever system(RP1) , with this can we confirm that there is nothing wrong in RZ70 settings.
   iii)In SLDAPICUST at recievers end for both systems nothing is mantained , where as in XI system all the details are maintained(Host name,port, user & password).
I have translated the error log into english from the CC monitoring for this interface which is in portuguese language .
It says that:
RFC_ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE: 871 Mandante not in the system (select principal existing)
Kindly advise me what to do ..for fixing this problem(this is pretty urgent and it is production env...)..
If any information required , I can provide that.
Best Regards
Rakesh Reddy
