SO patches are messy and bloated

In short, SO installs patches like a pig that craves magnetic bits. I've installed every patch since 8 came out and the last was patch 8. I decided to check the HD after it was done and it was consuming 1GB of HD space. This was ridiculous so I decided to poke my nose around to see what was going on and I found the following,
1) SO keeps old versions of files around. This is just as bad as MS keeping patches around.
2) Even though the initial install specified that I wanted the EN-US language installed, every patch installed after the initial install continues to install every single language.
Cleaning results...
Before - 1GB
After - 330MB
I recommend the following,
1) have the install script remove files that have been renamed - no point in keeping them around.
2) have the install script figure out which language is installed and ONLY install the language that the user has installed.
This should be cake to implement and not doing so is a huge mistake, IMHO.

Still no solution...Is there anything to do in Audio-midi settings ? Is it normal that it shows "Aggregate-audio-device" in the listing ? There shouldn't be any extra devices anymore....What are the default settings ? Getting desperade...

Imac sounds are "messy" and "fuzzy"

Sp I,m not happy with the sounds on my IMac (21.5",late 2010,3.06mhz I3)...I tried ( just to test) Boom and Bongiovi DPS audio devices and then the sound started to get fuzzy...I have removed them now both,but the sounds aren't good...I have Creative Gigaworks t20-speakers (through headphones connection).I may have messed up the audio- & midi settings so what are the Original settings for my Imac ? Could the audio devices (boosters) have damaged the speakers ? This sound problem is especially with Itunes,I know prefre to play my music through DJAY 'cause it sounds better.Sorry,I don't know quite how to explain this,but this bothers me...Any help and tips wellcome,THANK YOU !

SCCM report says 17 patches are needed, but they are not needed

Another weird one. I've had this before with just 1 patch needed but never figured it out. But now I have a Server 2012 box (SCCM 2012 R2 CU4) that report "Compliance 5 - Specific computer" says need 17 patches. Software Center on the box says
none are needed. Patches are downloaded and installing on other computers. In Windows Update\View Update History, it says all 17 patches successfully installed ON THE SAME DAY. So I think something happened with the patch run on that day and Software Center
and Update History say they finished but somewhere in the db it thinks they haven't. Cache purges, reboots, and running all actions on the actions tab haven't helped.
Patches that have come up as needed after that day install and report as completed just fine.
Any ideas?

why that works: what can happen is that occasionally, somewhere between a client and the MP, the MP processing, and processing into the database, statemessages might become corrupt or somehow else 'lost'. normally not a big deal; but for software updates
to get a client to re-report "current" state of all software updates currently known about at the client, that little snippet needs to be re-run.
In my environment about 2x a year I have all my clients re-submit their software updates state (enable a deployment for a while, then disable it). I don't know how many clients "might be" in a misreporting state, but it gives me the warm
fuzzy that I'm doing my best to reduce the possibility that computers might be listing they are missing an update, when they aren't.

Dot net Applilcations are not running after Microsoft Security patches in Sep and Nov 2014

My team did the microsoft security patches of Aug2014 and November2014 on 10 client machines (10 macines 2005) without a hitch. The Client machine (Windows 2005) accepted the patch, but all machines one of the applicaiton(VB6.0 and VB.net2005) is not able to
connect to the server.The event log was filled with SChannel errors indicating code 80 (internal_error), implying something that was deeply wrong with SChannel:
The following fatal alert was generated: 80. The internal error state is 1250.
and
The following fatal alert was generated: 80. The internal error state is 1051.
Has anyone else experienced this issue with this or another update, or have some tips as to how I might better diagnose the issue? Thank you.

Hi,
I have seen a few threads with the same error, please try to uninstall KB2992611 to see if the issue persists.

Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones?

Hi Champs,
Is it possible to patch Global Zone and only specific Non-Global Zones? Idea is to patch DEV-zones only on the system & test applications and then patch only the STG-zones on same server!
Not sure if it is possible but just throwing a question...
Cheers,
Nitin

Yes, if you have branded (non-sparse) zone!Branded zones and sparse zones don't have the relation that you imply. In Solaris 10, native zones can be sparse or whole-root (non-sparse, as you say). Zones that are not native zones are branded zones. Branded zones on Solaris 10 include Solaris Legacy Containers, previously known as Solaris 8 Containers and Solaris 9 Containers. That add-on product allows you to run Solaris 8 and Solaris 9 application environments under a thin layer of virtualization provided by the brands framework. solaris8 and solaris9 branded zones can be patched independently of each other and of the global zone.
Solaris 11 has no "native zones" - all zones use the brands framework. The "solaris" brand does no emulation and in that respect is very similar to native zones on Solaris 10. Solaris 11 also provides Solaris 10 Zones via the solaris10 brand. This allows zones or the global zone from a Solaris 10 system to be transferred to a Solaris 11 system and run as solaris10 zones. When running on Solaris 11, solaris10 zones can each be patched independently from each other and the Solaris 11 global zone. Technically, Solaris 11 doesn't have patches - it just has newer versions of packages to which the system is updated.

ACS Fixup Patch not found and Installation Process

Hi Experts,
In my association there is some issue going on with CSACS Device, they have suggested us to upgrade the patch as below..
1) ACS 4.2.0.124.9-Fix (Patch:4.2.0.124.9)
2) ACS-4.2.0.124-9-CSUpdate Fix (Patch:4.2.0.124.9)
3) ACS 4.2.0.124.10-Fix ( Patch : 4.2.0.124.10)
4) ACS-4.2.0.124.10-CSUpdate Fix ( Patch:4.2.0.124.10)
i tried to download it from cisco.com but i am not able to found anywhere in cisco.com
also please let me know the procedure for applying the patch in ACS..
the expert was saying that you also need to upgrade some remote agent in system where you configured..
please let me know patch installation procedure and from where i can download it. do i need to open a TAC with cisco for this ?
i have attachted my current version sc
Regards,
Vivek

Hello Vivek,
You can download the requested files from Cisco.com > Support > All Downloads > Products > Security > Identity Management > Cisco Secure Access Control Server Solution Engine > Cisco Secure Access Control Server Solution Engine 4.2 > Secure Access Control Server (ACS) Solution Engine-4.2.0.124
ACS 4.2.0.124 latest patch right now is Patch 17. Also, there is version 4.2.1.15 available for both the ACS SE and Remote Agent (For Windows Authentication). If you are going to patch your ACS SE it would be recommended to either upgrade to the latest patch (17) or to 4.2.1.15.
Patches are cummulative as well so applying patch 10 will include Patch 9 fixes as well. You would be looking for:
1) applAcs_4.2.0.124.10.zip
2) applAcs_4.2.0.124.10-CSUpdate.zip
3) Acs-4.2.0.124.10-RA.zip
You need to apply applAcs_4.2.0.124.10-CSUpdate.zip first and then applAcs_4.2.0.124.10.zip on the ACS SE. On the Remote Agent you will install Acs-4.2.0.124.10-RA.zip.
Both the applAcs_4.2.0.124.10.zip and Acs-4.2.0.124.10-RA.zip have a link to the file release notes which include the patch installation instructions.

Arabic PDF characters are disjointed and reversed!

Hello guys,
I have a serious and urgent issue and I hope this expert community could help me out in finding a solution for it.
I have a magento CMS ecommerce based group buying deals website based in UAE and my developers have coded it in a way to send out PDF coupon vouchers in Arabic language to customers who bought the deal.
The problem is that the characters inside the PDF look very akward! They are disjointed and not connected together and they are displayed in a reversed order which can only be readable from left to right. So in other words the coupon vouchers in Arabic look extremely messy!
I have no idea what I need to do in order for me to fix this, do I need to work on the unicode? Is there a specific Arabic font I can use to resolve this?
Any help would be extremely appreciated guys!
Thank you
Ziad

I'll try, Ziad
You can try and contact whoever typed up the coupon. They have the original document and the program that created it, they should fix it and post a new PDF.
Acrobat can do minor edits, but it is not a proper Arabic language creator or editor.
First be sure that "enable right-to-left language options" is checked in your Acrobat preferences:
Maybe that will fix it.
If you can't get the people who designed your coupon to fix the problems, you can save the PDF as a Microsoft Word document and edit in an Arabic version of Word. Word should have proper Arabic fonts and right to left text flow. Then you convert to PDF from Word's Acrobat tab. It is not the best answer, but if you cannot go back to the place that designed your coupon, you may have to redo it in a proper editor and export it to PDF.
The command in Acrobat to convert your PDF to Word is: File > Save As > Microsoft Word > Word Document
This is not an easy question

T61 LCD display flickering with big patches of black and going to dark (very low light) afterwards

I have a T61 which has Intel graphic card. It is seven years old and at times has a noisy fan.
Very recently it started to have problem with its LCD, it starts with slight flickering of light intensity from corners of screen, here and there, eventually covering the whole screen, goes away and comes back, happens for few seconds, the pattern repeats for few times, then big (screen-wide) patches of back starts to cover the lower 1/4th, one-half, 3/4th of screen, flickering between the screen content and black screen, till they cover the whole screen after 30-60 seconds. At that moment, the screen is very dark but with a close look, it is still possible (but very hard) to read it. Connecting it to external monitor (through its VGA), it is working very well. Showing same screen on both LCD and external monitor at the same time, the picture on external is solid, but picture on LCD can have this issue. At the moment of writing this message, the problem seems to not happening!! but it was happening during the past whole week including few minutes ago. I searched online and here in the forum and read few posts, and found about these issues:
- some T61's have Nvidia GPU and thermal effects over the time and stress on the package or solder balls can make loose connections (this is probably not my case since the interface to graphic card is by Intel)
- problem with LCD itself (it is working fine just right now)
- problem with graphic card (it is working very well over the VGA to external monitor)
- problem with the ribbon from mother-board to LCD (tilted the screen in different angles when the black patches and flickering are happening and didn't change the chaos much in any direction of making it better or worse)
- problem with bulb inside the screen (maybe the cause, but somehow decided for the last few minutes to working fine)
- problem with inverter (don't know yet what this part it)
- problem with some sort of mechanical part(s) being loose, gently tapped on sides and back of the screen while the phenomena was happening and again didn't have much effect on it in any direction.
I appreciate your time and good gesture of help, many of you would know more scientific/engineering ways of approaching the problem and how to root cause it. My sincere thanks beforehand.

> the screen is very dark but with a close look, it is still possible (but very hard) to read it.
That sounds like a defective CCFL backlight or inverter.
>- problem with bulb inside the screen (maybe the cause, but somehow decided for the last few minutes to working fine)
A CCFL is essentially a high intensity fluorescent bulb. One failure mode is flickering.
>- problem with inverter (don't know yet what this part it)
The inverter is a power supply that converts the low voltage DC used in the rest of the ThinkPad to high voltage to drive the CCFL. I would expect that to fail catastrophically rather than cause flickering.
What to do?
CCFLs backlights are relatively inexpensive ($10 to $15 on eBay) but they can be difficult to replace because they're delicate. You may prefer to replace the entire LCD panel assembly or even the entire top cover assembly (which also includes the inverter card.)
The Hardware Maintenance Manual for the T61 provides detailed instructions for doing this sort of stuff if you'd like to see what's involved and decide what you feel comfortable doing.

Solaris 8 United states DST changes - patch 109809-03 and 108993-56

Setup:
- I am using solaris 8 server
- I edited /etc/TIMEZONE to include TZ=US/Pacific
- I installed patches 109809-03 and 108993-56
- Rebooted the server
To test if the new DST chanages for year 2007:
- I set up time to DST start time. I get the expected behavior (spring forward) as shown below:
# date .57;while [ 1 ]; do date; sleep 1; done
Sun Mar 11 01:59:57 PST 2007

Sun Mar 11 03:00:00 PDT 2007
Sun Mar 11 03:00:01 PDT 2007
- I setup the time to DST end time (fall back) and I do not see time changing back to 1:00 am at 2:00 am
# date .57;while [ 1 ]; do date; sleep 1; done
Sun Nov 4 01:59:57 PST 2007

DST ends?Already was.I again do not understand what "Already was" means. I expect after 1:59, the time to be printed as 1:00 am.
Am I missing some thing?
BTW my previous post had a problem. To test DST I set the time by running:
date 031101592007.57
For end of DST I set the command:
date 110401592007.57

Multiple Templates Selection When No languages patches are applied

Hi All,
I am looking for the best approach to translate the .rtf templates into different languages when no languages patches are applied.

there are both "Upload to Flickr" and "BlackMug" apps in App World, for both of those services, they should work.
In your screenshots, the middle one, if you select one image, and then tap the second image, does it DE-select the first selection?

Is it possible to scroll the lyrics of the same music? some lyrics are large, and is hard to see. It is possible to scroll the lyrics???? please help me!!!!!!

Hi
No
It is not possible to scroll any Lyrics in Mainstage.
You could possibly use one 'page' of lyrics per patch, and change Patches for the next lot of lyrics?

ARE-1 and ARE-3 Forms

Hi Gurus,
How to add ECS and SECS values to ARE-1 and ARE-3 Forms.
We are using ECC 6.0 and patch level is 10.
Best Regards
Sri

This is a typical problem in ARE-1. It displaysonly the BED value by default in the duty column. In some cases it also displays the duty column under the invoice no and invoice number under the duty. This is becasue of the sapscript. The fields need to be mapped correclty. Ask your abapper to mapp all the three values so that they display individually under the duty column and the rebate calmed as a total of the three if applicable ofcourse.

Which patches are already applied

Hi,
how can I requeste from the database which patches are already applied ?
select * from TABLENAME ;
I have forgotten the name of table or view.
Many thanks before.

If you want to see installed product versions, then you can use V$VERSION and DBA_REGISTRY dictionary views (the last one 9i onwards).

The following patches are required by the products selected for installatio

Operating System Patches
The following patches are required by the products selected for installation:
[125100-10, 121010-06, 120629-08, 120986-10, 124916-03, 124918-02, 124327-04, 120068-03]
I downloaded some via pca, others were not downloadable without aSun service plan/account number(something like that), however, I went to sunsolve.com and checked the "obsoleted by" patch for the patches I could not without a sun service plan download.,... I found the patches....

You seem to have installed an extension that requires the Firebug extension to be installed.

"Register with ESB" failing, though AS and IS connections are tested and OK

When trying to deploy my ESB project, in the "Register with ESB" phase I am now all of a sudden getting the following Error (the same project was working fine for months unchanged until today). This is even though the AS and IS connections are tested and still working fine.
Things that changed today:
1.Change 1 – when starting JDEV I was prompted to download some Jdev patch/upgrade for some sort of new BPEL modeling framework, so I installed, JDEV asked to reboot so did, JDEV asked to upgrade JDEV from former, so did, JDEV asked for what dir, so went with default .../jdev/system
2. Change 2: tried also to deploy the standard “Order booking SOA demo” after patching.
3. The Error message I started getting, both for new and old deployments (that were working fine until today), is below, as is my version information:
Entity Deployment Failed
error code: 1000 : 5
summary: -

Ideas why the "Register with ESB" stopped working even though the AS and IS connections are tested and still working fine?
