[SOLVED] After installing eclipse, conkeror-git won't start

Yesterday, I made the mistake of installing eclipse to check it out. Ever since I installed (and quickly uninstalled) the bloatware, my conkeror-git has been complaining that it can't find XULrunner:
/usr/bin/conkeror: cannot continue. XULRunner not found.
Xulrunner is installed, of course:
$ which xulrunner
/usr/bin/xulrunner
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both xulrunner and conkeror several times, as well as rebooting my machine.
I don't know much about xulrunner, but is it possible that the eclipse install messed with some sort of xulrunner configuration file that persists despite reinstalls?

I found the persistent configuration that I was looking for. After consulting /usr/bin/conkeror, I solved this problem by moving /etc/gre.d to /etc/gre.d.bak and reinstalling xulrunner.
FWIW, it seems that eclipse changes the xulrunner registry in ways that cause the /usr/bin/conkeror script to barf. (Weaning myself off xulrunner by learning uzbl is on my todo list - I promise!)

After installing latest update Macbook won't start up.

After installing the latest update my macbook won't start up. Instead of the login screen I get a flashing map icon with a question mark. My uncle says that means it can't find the startup disk and I had to startup from the install disk holding C but it didn't work. I'm quite desperate because I need my macbook for school (writing & producing music). I type this on a friend's computer... How can I fix this? Or do I really have to go to a mac store and part from my macbook for an unknown time...? :'(
I don't exactly know what version I have (can't check it now either) but it's at least 10.6.something and I always install the updates...

Hi
Anything unusual happen during the 10.5.3 update installation phase?
What type of iMac are you using? Your tag says G5 but also Intel core processors - it can't be both.
Try this:
-First unplug your computer and wait 10 minutes
-Next, simultaneously reinsert the power cord while pressing the power button for 5 seconds then release
-Press the power button again to start the computer - this resets the computer's system management unit (SMU) which controls your machines power functions.
-Next, press/hold down the P/R/option/command keys for 3 Apple chimes. This clears the machine's PRAM. After the 3rd chime release those keys and immediately hold down the Shift key to put the machine into Safe User Mode
-If you get to a log-in screen (may take several minutes as repair functions are occurring on the boot), log-in. When the login is complete, restart the computer as usual.
If no go, I suggest taking the machine to a certified Apple tech, or if you live near an Apple store to the Genius Bar.

After installing itunes, my desktop computer doesn't recognize my internal cd rom/burner. I removed itunes and it works ok and when I reinstall itunes it won't work again. I went into the windows registry files and deleted the lower filter which is one correction for this and it worked ok until the next itunes upgrade and now it won't work again. If anyone knows what to do please let me know. My device manager shows a code "10"

That suggests an AFS.sys issue. But we'd better doublecheck.
Could you post your diagnostics for us please?
In iTunes, go "Help > Run Diagnostics". (If you're running iTunes 11.0.x you'll need to bring up your menu bar first to see the Help menu.) Uncheck the boxes other than DVD/CD tests, as per the following screenshot:

After installing Win7 x32 SP1 I can not start Firefox. Not even in safe mode. I uninstalled Firefox and re-installed the program. Won't start.

After installing SP1 Firefox quit working and Internet Explore quit working. I can only use Chrome as a browser at this time.

See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser_will_not_start_up
A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

I Cant find Sql Server 2014 express edition after installing it. How do I start the program

Hello,
I have Installed Sql Server 2014 Express edition and downloaded the AdventureWorks 2014 database and Back up files.
I cannot find an Icon for the Sql Server on my Desktop to start the Sql program. There is only an icon for the Server Installation Center.
How do I start the Sql server. I tried opening the AdventureWorks Database but I cant open it.
Thank you

Thanks Shanky
When I installed Sql I chose Windows Login. After Installing I logged into Sql server using windows account. Should I have chosen an Sql account instead.
Hi,
Its is Ok if you have chosen windows Login. But it should be part of local administrator. I assume you know how to check
Is it not a security risk having to run Sql server as an administrator when using windows account or sql account.
Yes it is but at this point where I guess only you would be using and to get around with problem which you are facing. its recommended to run SQL server service with least privileged domain account. If you wan to read more see
this link
How do I make sure the account with which SQL Server service is running has full permission on folder where adventure works mdf and ldf files are located.
Please make a habit to search on net it is filled with lot of information.
This link would help.
Locate the folder on drive where AD mdf and ldf file reside. Right click on folder select properties and then select security tab. Click on add and then type account name and search and add it

[Solved] Project64 (which runs via wine) won't start w/ an error

I'm on 64 bit arch laptop trying to run project64, but the app won't start. I installed project64 from the repo and it pulled wine as a dependancy. Upon firsst-run I was prompted to install wine gecko and hit the install button. This froze and I force-closed the window which then prompted me to select a language. I got a "Program Error" message saying that pj64 encountered a serious problem and needs to close. I then found and installed the wine_gecko package, but this didn't solve the problem.
The console outputs the following:
wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xffffffff at address 0x7cdb9eda (thread 0009), starting debugger...
Someone please help me.

Make sure you have the correct lib32 drivers for your graphics card, since wine is a 32 bit app. For example,m for nvidia you need the lib32-nvidia-utils package. This seems to be more of a general Wine issue rather than an issue with project64 though, but hopefully installing the correct package should help. I maintain the project64 AUR package though, so I feel like I should do my best to help, and possuibly imporve my package too if something's wrong with it Also, if that doesn't work, try running this, it will give more terminal output that could be useful (by default it uses WINEDEBUG=-all to get rid of the extra debug info and stuff wine outputs by default, but it might be helpful here):
wine "$HOME"/.project64/Project64.exe
Also, IMO, all the Mupen64plus frontends seem to be kinda crappy right now (cutemupen crashesd so I can't even try that one out...), but the one I'va had the best luck with is wxmupen64plus-hg, so give that a shot, though it does still have some issues sometimes, but it lets you configure the controllers and stuff, so that's good And if you felt like using it, you could install version 1.5 (it's in AUR too, but I haven't tested it), since version 1.5 has a GUI and it always worked great when I used to use that

After installing or upgrading to Firefox 31, starting Firefox does not show homepage, customize shows a blank page and the option button does not work

I am the Windows admin for a university department and install PCs with Firefox all the time. This problem does not happen with every PC I maintain, only a select few (different model laptops with Windows 8.1 and update 1.) Until today, it only happened with new user accounts (with admin rights) that I setup on the laptops for our staff. Today this happened with The Administrator account while setting up a new laptop. In all cases so far, I install Windows from a saved image that was created using sysprep.
I have tried the many suggestions of resetting Firefox, deleting the users Firefox profile, deleting the users Windows profile, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox, uninstalling/reinstalling Firefox and the latest Java, but nothing helps. After uninstalling, I run an app to delete temp files and caches and will even manually remove registry keys HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Mozilla. Plus I reboot and make sure the install folder is deleted after uninstall.
Results are the same: after installing Firefox 31, the initial setup window for migrating IE and/or Chrome pops up and after clicking the Finish button, Firefox starts, but does not show the initial new user page, only a blank page. Clicking on the Options button (3 bars) does nothing. Right-clicking in the proper area, the popup menu appears so I can choose to Customize, but that only opens another tab with about:customize in the URL and the page is blank. From the right-click popup menu, I can enable the Menu Bar and get to Options from that.
My latest attempt has helped a little. I uninstalled Firefox 31, cleaned up, deleted user Firefox profile, rebooted and then installed Firefox 30. Inital startup runs, and tells me I'm not up to date, and the Options button works. But I still cannot customize.
I then upgraded to Firefox 31, but then it's back to no startup page, no options button and no customize. I can downgrade to 30 and get all but customize working again.
Only Addon is one for McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which just after installing is disabled.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Ok. I disabled hardware acceleration. The only extension is the McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 15.1.0, which was already disabled. I then disabled all plugins (Acrobat, Google Update, Intel Identity Protection (2x), Java Deployment Toolkit, Java Platform, MS Office 2013, Quicktime, Shockwave, Silverlight), which were all up to date.
Normal or safe mode still has same result. No startup, no option button and no customize.
Thanks for your help. Got any other suggestions?

Firefox update failed, so I re-installed. Now firefox won't start up at all?

''locking as a duplicate of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/969557''
So I ran firefox, and it was updating. While updating, firefox crashed for no apparent reason so I had to close it. Afterwards, every time I tried to start up firefox, it gave me the update failed error, followed by a crash less than a second later. I followed some instructions, uninstalling and re-installing firefox (without removing personal data), but now firefox won't start up at all!
Now what?

We're sorry to hear that your Firefox seems to be crashing when you open it. Please perform the following steps to give us a crash report ID that helps us find out more about the cause of the crash.
#Press the following shortcut to get a Run window: [Windows] + [R]. This should bring up a window that contains a text field.
#In that text field, enter %APPDATA% and press Enter. An explorer window should open.
#From that explorer window, double-click on the ''Mozilla'' folder, then double-click on ''Firefox'' and then on ''Crash reports''. Double-click on ''submitted''.
#Now, you should see a list of files that contain reports. Go to ''View'' > ''Arrange Icons by'' > ''Modified'' to get the most recent files at the top of the window.
#Open the most recent 5 files with a text editor and copy the IDs.
#Paste each ID with '''bp-''' into the reply window on the forums.
Thanks in advance!
You can find more information and troubleshooting steps in the [[Firefox crashes]] article.

Problem after installing 6.03 iTunes- Will not start up...please help!!!!!

I recently gave into the decision of installing the new iTunes update to 6.03 Everything was working fine, but I thought I should upgrade. Now I cannot start iTunes. When I click on the icon it shows an hourglass for about 2 seconds and then goes away. Ive tried reinstalling, but to no avail. If anybody knows what to do it'd be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks for all of your support! J

I am also having a problem opening iTunes after installing the latest version, 6.03. Every now and then, it will open after I do some troubleshooting, but the problem persists the next time I try to open it. Once I opened iTunes in safe mode and then restarted in the normal mode and iTunes started properly. Another time, I took off the iTunes Help application from my start up items under my account and I was able to open iTunes. Another time, I opened iTunes from the actual data file and I was able to open iTunes. But as soon as I close iTunes and try to open it up again the next time around, it does not respond. What is going on? How can I get rid of 6.03 and go back to the previous version without losing my music?

After installing 3.6 FF won't open even in the safe mode, I click on the icon and nothing happens at all

I installed 3.6 and now FF won't open even in the safe mode. I restored my computer setting back to where I was running 3.5.13 but it still doesn't work...some files must have been deleted when I upgraded that weren't put back even when going back to the older version but I have no idea what to look for or what to do even if I find them. Can you please help me?

Using system restore can create problems as well as solving them. I have seen system restore destroy a Firefox setup. The installation may be OK but to be sure perform a clean install
# [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstall Firefox]
# Delete the Firefox [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Installation_directory Installation directory], default location C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\
# Download the latest version from http://www.mozilla.com/ and install it
If Firefox still does not start, try creating a new profile folder. Firefox stores user data in a profile folder, creating a new profile will show if the problem is with the old profile. For how to do that see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows creating a new Firefox profile on Windows].
If the new profile works, you can copy selected data such as bookmarks and passwords to the new profile. For details see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox transferring data to a new profile]. Do not copy the preferences file, and it is best to re-install any add-ons.

After installing latest update, iMac won't complete startup

It gets to the gray screen with the apple logo and spinning disk, and stays there. It won't let me boot from the install disk, so I can't try a reinstall. I thought I might be able to load Disk Utility via Unix (which I can get to) and repair the permissions, but that doesn't seem to work either (though I don't know Unix well so that could be my fault).
