[SOLVED] amd64 + amsn = Success

Yes,
After having problems with various messenger clients this one seems to work really well.
I post this in case anyone else has problems.
amsn is in the AUR and you just type yaourt -S amsn and boom it's there.
The trouble with Yahoo is the message history.
Pidgin works fine but due to Yahoo problems message history can't be found by Pidgin.
Obviously amsn aint Yahoo but heck it works.

After i added "nomodeset" to grub, i had no crash till tried start X, but *5 times in row my computer crashed when starting X*...
i downgraded to
ati-dri-7.4.4-1 (this definetly fixed)
xf86-video-ati-6.12.2-2 (dont know if this is relevent)
and now my system boots up without random craches

  • [solved] amd64 random bootup crashes

    laptop asusX51rt,
    graphics: ATI Technologies Inc RC410 [Radeon Xpress 200M],
    hdd: sata
    cpu: intel dual core
    default instalation, default kernel, opensource ati driver,
    i don't use kdm or gdm, or any other startup manager
    i'm not using testing repository, but use AUR.
    2 weaks ago, i installed amd64 on asusX51rl. Since, then, system randomly crashes at startup (when it boots up, i never had a crash)
    there are 3 bootup times, when it hangups
      1) at startup beginning, when initrd finishes load (at that moment, when resolution of konsole changes)
      2) when everything has loaded, and all load info disapears, and konsole changes to login mode (i think that it crashes at this moment)
      3) when i try start X
    all this is happing randomly. I tried to restart laptop about 5 times, and usualy, i hangs up. Often when i turnoff computer, after hangup, it hangups once again. Though, it never crashed 3 times in row.
    At all 3 times, there is some video activity. So does this is graphics problem?
    the most mysterious place, is whet system hangups, in 2 place.
    i have arch32 on other laptop, with intel graphics, and it works fine.
    When i open  *faillog* and *lastlog* with vi after crash, i see only "^@^@" (is it corrupted?)

  • {Solved} Can not successfully boot into systemd

    I will first start off by saying I have read though the following threads:
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151633
    https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=151885
    And have tried to follow the Systemd wiki.  I started out by switching to the new initscripts configuration system.  I have the current systemd package installed.  I then installed systemd-sysvcompat which of course had me remove sysvinit.  I then removed initscripts which moved my rc.conf to rc.conf.pacsave.
    I had to manually create /etc/hostname, /etc/locale.conf, and /etc/vconsole.conf as (mentioned in a previous post) I could not do with any "ctl" commands as I had not yet booted into a systemd setup.
    This also caused an issue with trying to set up the timezone as:
    # timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
    resulted in:
    Failed to issue method call: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1
    So at this point I decided to try a reboot and I get:
    Welcome to emergency mode! Type "systemctl defualt" or ^D to enter default mode.
    Type "journelctl -b" to view system logs. Type "systemctl reboot" to reboot.
    Give root password for maintenance
    (or typed Control-D to continue): [ 71.520184] radeon_cp: Failed to load firmware
    "radeon/R300_cp.bin"
    [ 71.520205] [drm:r100_cp_init] *ERROR* failed to load firmware!
    [ 71.520224] radeon 0000:01:05.0: failed initializing CP (-2)
    [ 71.520237] radeon 0000:01:05.0: Disabling GPU acceleration
    I entered emergency mode which brought me to the root terminal.  I first attempted to mv rc.conf.pacnew to rc.conf expecting there to possibly be an issue with the daemons I had running or attempted to run but after reboot I got the same thing.  Not sure what is going on with the radeon firmware because it's obviously there.
    So I re-imaged the hard drive and decided to try again.  This time I installed systemd-sysvcompat (removing sysvinit) and DID NOT remove initscripts.  I rebooted and got the exact same thing as above. So at this point I am at a loss of ideas with moving forward.  Why is systemd-sysvcompat causing the failure of the radeon firmware to load? I use Arch on my laptop, desktop as well as my server.  Systemd is coming so I am trying with the laptop first to convert to pure systemd.  If I am just missing a step please let me know and I appologize for posting.  But hopefully others have run into this issue and could possibly give me a nudge in the right direction.  It could be I am reading the wiki wrong or just not interpreting it correctly.
    Thanks in advance for your guidance and assistance,
    All the best,
    Ian

    hiciu,
    Here is what you requested taken from emergency mode:
    /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
    # vim:set ft=sh
    # MODULES
    # The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
    # run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
    # in this array. For instance:
    # MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
    MODULES=""
    # BINARIES
    # This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
    # wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
    # override the actual binaries included by a given hook
    # BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
    BINARIES=""
    # FILES
    # This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
    # as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
    # Some users may wish to include modprobe.conf for custom module options
    # like so:
    # FILES="/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf"
    FILES=""
    # HOOKS
    # This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
    # modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
    # Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
    # order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
    # help on a given hook.
    # 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
    # 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
    # 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
    # Examples:
    ## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
    ## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
    # HOOKS="base"
    ## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
    ## work as a sane default
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems"
    ## This is identical to the above, except the old ide subsystem is
    ## used for IDE devices instead of the new pata subsystem.
    # HOOKS="base udev autodetect ide scsi sata filesystems"
    ## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
    ## No autodetection is done.
    # HOOKS="base udev pata scsi sata usb filesystems"
    ## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
    ## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
    # HOOKS="base udev pata mdadm encrypt filesystems"
    ## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
    # HOOKS="base udev usb lvm2 filesystems"
    ## NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
    # usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
    HOOKS="base udev autodetect pata scsi sata filesystems usbinput fsck"
    # COMPRESSION
    # Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
    # is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
    #COMPRESSION="gzip"
    #COMPRESSION="bzip2"
    #COMPRESSION="lzma"
    #COMPRESSION="xz"
    #COMPRESSION="lzop"
    # COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
    # Additional options for the compressor
    #COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=""

    Edit:  I also wanted to mention that I was able to get rid of the syslog-ng errors previously mentioned by performing:
    systemctl enable syslog-ng.service
    Then rebooting.  Granted I was still put back in emergency mode but was able to fix one issue.

  • VMWare Remote Console Plug-in for Firefox 4.0.1 (host OS Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 desktop)

    I installed host "Ubuntu 11.04 amd64 desktop" successfully. Then installed VMWare Server 2.0.2 successfully.
    I have a message "VMWare Remote console Plug-in is not compatilble with Firefox 4.0.1" when running Firefox.
    1) How  can I get "VMWare Remote console Plug-in"  fully compatilble with Firefox 4.0.1?
    2) How  can I replace Firefox 4.0.1 (build in Ubuntu 11.04) with Firefox 3.6?
    Have any ideas for fix this problem?

    Just tried to download firefox 3.6 from mozilla and I have found that it is no longer available, only version 13, even the links for version 3.6 are broken. I am unable to do anything with my virtual server. This is not a very good demonstration of your software.

  • NOT so happy CONCLUSION after all -- Installation of my ZEN Vision M (30 G

    Sunday 2/3/06
    Let's see, I had a problem with losing my AUDIO. Finally, I had to do a full re-install on my S.B. Audigy 2zs. I even moved it to a different PCI connector on the MB. After a full re-installation... sweet sound again.
    As to the Zen itself, I keep having problems.... I am trying to update all the applications (C MediaSourde and C Media explorer) and even there I am finding problems.
    When I download the upgrade file to my PC ([color="#ff3300">CMS5_PCAPP_LB_5_0_38.exe), and?try opening it, it HANGS... that's it... so I have not been able to upgrade it. And if I don't upgrade it, then I will have the same erratic behavior will all these applications. They work sometimes and sometimes they don't.
    If I really force the issue, opent the explorer and the MediaSource, where I have my "library" of songs... and WHEN the ZEN is recognized by everyone (This is ramdon condition, sometimes yes, many times no), I am able to drag and drop some songs from my "library"?to the ZEN.... but I?still don't have a clear path to do this consistently... ?
    Tuesday report 2/26/06:?
    [color="#ff0000"](I?don't want anybody to get the ideal all is well now... I thought it was... Yesterday, but not today)
    Today I?was able to?to Rip a couple of CDs and "transfer" them to the ZEN. Some of the songs?have noises?though... I don't know what causes that. But the applications are still buggy, they don't work consistently all the time. I just "sense" something is not right with my PC.
    [color="#ff0000"]No only that... This installation knocked off my Audio!... even though I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2zs platinum! (Audio Card)... So I have NO SOUND right now?and therefore I can not use WMP-0 to rip cd's because it tells me I have not audio and I am not in the mood to deal the WMP now. So I had to use the Creative MediaSource 5, to do the ripping and the synchronizing. It did the job ok, except for the noise...
    I tried everything to re-install my Audio. Tried the latest dri've...Nothing. Went back to my old one (before this installation) and it DID NOT work either!? Amazing how complicated this has become....
    Monday report 2/25/06: I did not do much on the Zen today. But I did notice the WPM 0, still goes crazy (crashed) when trying to find the Zen. The WMP0 crashed today once. Also, there seem to be some conflict among certain programs... It almost seems as if more than one applications is biding for the Zen when they see it. (i.e. if the WMP is open and try opening the Creative Explorer app... it will not open... but only until I close the WMP...then the apps springs up just like that. That's it. - Good night.
    I SO, IT seems like I am not out of the woods yet... I wonder if I ever will.

    If your ZEN seems "dead" then you need to RESET it. How? insert a "clip" (or other sharp tool. Clip works best) in the hole for RESET, located at the bottom of the ZEN (by the "dongle" connector)<?
    Connect your ZEN to a "USB-PORT" (not to a "hub")?A USB-PORT is located on your computer (the box). A "Hub" is a little box connected to one USB-PORTS and it "splits" this port into several USB-Connectors... ideally useful for "devices" that do not required lost of information or current (i.e. mouse, drawing table, keyboard, etc). Devices that required a continuous or heavy amounts of information (i.e. External Hard Dri'ves, Camcorders, Webcams sometimes, required an individual USB-PORT)<?Two things here:?- This link is for the original messagehttp://forums.creative.com/creativel...essage.id=7293?[size="+2"][color="#ff0000"]2- Happy Conclusion installing the ZEN Vision M (30 Gig)<i>(I am writing this for several reasons. Mainly, because it was a difficult installation and I wanted to summarize the 200 or 300 steps/actions I did that led me to solve the problem successfully. I always do this when I have a difficult installation and then I save it for the next time I need it (i.e. changing computers). I certainly don?t want to waste all that effort. One thing I learned about ?technology? is hard to learn it but it can be forgotten so easily, if you don?t take notes.)</i>
    <p align="center">---------------------------------------
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">What was causing the problem?
    Two things:
    First, problems with Windows and the computer itself.
    Second, the Creative applications were horrible at first, they would not open right away and when they did? sometimes 5 or 0 seconds later? they would crash just by clicking on something? and so Windows kept giving me those Error boxes and I kept sending them to Microsoft?(I must have sent at least 00 if not more!) I was also having problems with my graphics, every time an application would crash, then all kind of weird graphics would take place when dragging things around. I also had problems at one time with my Anti-virus/fire-wall Icon going dark after several re-boots, so I had to kick it to get it working?. Oh well, I just want you to get a flavor for how bad things were yesterday.
    When I first installed the software, nothing worked!... My computer was noticeably SLOWER and SLUGHISH? Actually I was worry about my computer itself because I have never seen it this bad!... I thought a virus the size of an elephant had gotten into the pc somehow, no kidding so I ran the anti-virus, anti-spy, just to make sure. Sometimes if you firewall is down, you can get viruses in an instant!... I hope you people know this by now. And if the firewall fails and viruses get in, is just at moments like these? when you are trying to get things to work and downloading stuff from the Internet and so on.
    The computer was just sloooowww? sluggish?.. and crashy (new word?)?.
    I must have rebooted my system from 40 to 50 times, and I am not exaggerating. At some point I even had trouble turning off the PC. There were like three time where it would just sit there in ?limbo? (hung/crashed), so I had to actually switch the?PC OFF on the back of the box, the only way to turn it off? And of course, when you do that, you can be sure you will have all kinds of interesting things when you try to boot up again! (like all kinds of funny displays on my screen, or Windows giving me the ?black screen and white text? asking me to choose a way to boot up, like ?boot up normally? or ?boot up using the last configuration that worked,? (I did this like?7 times all together).
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">So how did?everything go?from ?so bad? to ?so wonderful?? <i>I don?t really know exactly!</i>
    But I suspect three things happened:
    - Windows sent me a couple of upgrades (I get them automatically)? I have NO IDEA what they were, but whatever they were, helped!
    ?2 - As I read and read, things began to come back to my brain. Especially a post reply that gave me the hint (Reformatting the dri've in the Zen) would finally let me ?transfer? my stuff to the Zen
    ?3 - An lastly, after I have ?cleaned, reformatted the dri've, got rid off the ?firmware? (not a good thing to do), Then I could not make Windows see the ZEN no matter what I did!? I did what worked before (connecting and disconnecting the USB cable from the white adapter (dungle?) connected to the ZEN). Usually when you do this, Windows being a ?plug and play? OS, it usually ?sees? when a new ?device? is plugged in one of the USB ports, or disconnected from a port, as well. In other words it ?recognizes? the device (connectivity) and if the software and driver are already install, the device should come ali've and work! That is the reason you always install the software and drivers first, and usually re-boot the system once, so that when you connect the ?device? (ZEN), it should work!
    [size="+2"][color="#ff3300">Let me recap I what happened:
    ?- I installed the s/w and as I already said, it was horrible.
    ?2- The Windows updates, somehow were helping a little bit.
    ?3- I also downloaded the latest updates from Creative.com (downloads/upgrades). I downloaded the ?firmware? (the ?upgrade,? <i>which is the OS=Operating System for the ZEN. Just like ?Windows? is to the PC)</i> and other ?patches? for?the ?creative media source 5? and ?Zencast organizer? (3 updates). I am sure this upgrades helped some, as well.
    ?4- After trying so many times, I was finally able to open the ?Zen Media Explorer? (Icon looks like a picture of the Zen). When this opens, it shows you everything inside the Zen just like in the ?explorer? (nice). That meant I had connectivity! (good).
    ?5- Since I had ?connectivity? (access) to the ZEN, My next attempt was to ?transfer? some files down to the ZEN? but this proved impossible!... Somehow, at some?point, by accident (I?did not even notice it)? I was able to transfer ONE song to the ZEN, which gave me hope. After all, if you can do it once, you should be able to do it again. BUT, I couldn?t
    ?6- Then a nice lady?who responded to my first post, told me she had basically the same problems and the solution was to ?Clean and re-format? the ?Disk dri've?in the ZEN. She said that once she?did that, everything would sort of fall into place? and she was right!
    ?7- I unplugged the ZEN from the PC and read somewhere how ?to clean, reformat, upgrade or replace the ?firmware,? Not sure still, but it'ss something like ?resetting (with a clip) the Zen and holding the ?power? slide in the ON position? something like that, and that brings a special screen with 4 choices:
    Clean<
    Reformat dri've (erases everything!), <
    Replace firmware (careful here!), <
    Reboot. <
    Then it'ss pretty easy?to do a lot of ?damage? in a few seconds!... ([color="#ff3300">careful here if you are not used to the sensitivity of the "touch-pad")In my case I did not care since I had not put anything there yet. I erased EVERYTHING!... (not a good thing). I should have been more careful and simply use option 2 (reformat the dri've). Chances are this would have been enough to transfer songs to the ZEN. But since I get crazy when doing stuff like this, I went ahead a cleaned everything.
    ?8- Then I realized I had erased the ?firmware. As you already know this is the ?heart? of the Zen. (like Windows to the PC). Finally I went to Creative.com/downloads and downloaded it (the full version). But if you remember in #3, I had also downloaded the ?firmware? upgrade as well. The reason this is significant, is, that when I finally recovered ?connectivity? to the ZEN, I? tried both files, but the one that ZEN accepted was the upgrade! (I found this interesting? since I would have thought the full version would have been the correct choice? see?... little things you learn.
    ?9- As I already gave you a hint in #8, once I had the ?firmware? ready to install, the system kept telling me it could NOT see the ZEN. I connected and disconnected the USB cable several times? rebooted the pc? this helps sometimes, but nothing!... FINALLY, I read somewhere, I should go to the ?device manager? and check what was going on.. ? EUREKA ? indeed I found the ZEN with a ?Yellow mark? on the side, which always means trouble. Basically, I used the ?uninstall? option (based of the principle that simply ?un-installing and installing back something? sometimes this works. In other words, the ZEN was ?stucked. So when I ?removed? It from the ?Device Manager? list (I don?t recall if I rebooted here? but it never hurts!), then all of the sudden? a little icon in Windows (on the small tray=bottom right corner (with the clock and Date),? acknowledged?a new deviced had been connected to Windows. (connectivity back again! Yeahhh).
    ?0- Now that had ?connectivity? (Big step), I could try installing the ?firmware. And as I already explained, the ?upgrade? was the one that ZEN took. As soon as you clicked on the file, a box opened and asked if you wanted to install the ?firmware. I said yes and voila!... The Zen started accepting it's and when it ended, just like a PC, the ZEN rebooted itself and I was able to see the familiar interface (the same folders as before) but not contents at all? empty!
    ?- At this?point?I opened the ?Creative Media Source organizer,? went to my ?playlist? and from there, just click and drag some songs and dropped them on top of the Zen Icon (just like dropping files in a folder). And yes, the files were finally ?transferred? to the ZEN. Unplugged the USB cable from the Zen (or the Zen does not play anything). The songs were there and I was FINALLY able to listen to them from the ZEN!... Wonderful. Oh yes, using the same technique (drag and drop), I put a wmv video and was able to watch it as well... Now I know why people rave about the little screen... nice!
    ?2- In the mean time, without noticing? Just like the nice lady?from the post said, everything seemed to have fallen into place!
    ?In Summary: The applications ( the creative programs=icons)?were opening normally and quickly now, and many of the errors I got before when clicking on certain things, disappeared. I am sure I will still find some problems here and there, but basically the thing works now the way it is supposed to.
    ?Just a matter of clicking, dragging and dropping items?into the Zen?.yes, that simple!
    ?Good luck!

  • Suddenly, I can't sync or view media

    I am having a problem with Apple TV, and I have done everything I can think of to solve it without success. Can anyone help me? I have a year-old MacBook Pro and use a Time Capsule for wi-fi and backup. I have the current versions of all applications and software, including this week’s ATV update.
    Problem: After a couple years with no problems, I suddenly can’t sync or stream media from my MacBook Pro to Apple TV. First, iTunes can take several re-launches or even restarts before it recognizes ATV. It has done this on occasion before, but now it is worse. When ATV does pop up under devices, it appears to sync to ATV. I see my TV espisodes being synced at the top of iTunes but – and I think this is a clue to what’s wrong – the bar at the bottom of iTunes that shows the amount of music, video, etc. synced is blank. There are more than 1,600 items to sync (which I assume includes my music), so I let it sync overnight (making sure, of course, that my MBP doesn’t sleep). When I wake up, everything appears finished (although there’s still no video or music showing on the bottom bar), and when I go to ATV it appears everything is there. But when I try to play my TV shows – nearly all of which were downloaded from iTunes – I get the following message: “apple tv selected video could not be played the format was not recognized.” Sometimes I am able to get to the screen when it starts to load the TV show, but it never loads and the screen remains blank except for a progress bar that shows no progress. When I close iTunes, all my media disappears from ATV, leading me to believe it never synced in the first place. I have tried to simply watch by streaming without first trying to sync, and either there is no media showing, the show never loads, or I get the port 3689 firewall message. But my firewall is set to “allow all incoming connections,” so I don’t understand how that can be the problem.
    I can watch movie trailers and access the iTunes store on my ATV, am able to sync video and music to my iPhone and iPod, and everything else on my network works fine, so what’s up?
    I have tried the following: Rebooting ATV, both by using the remote and by unplugging it; resetting ATV to factory settings and reinstalling the latest software updates; rebooting Time Capsule; reinstalling iTunes; reauthorizing my MBP to iTunes and to ATV.
    Clues: I had not used ATV for a couple of months before all this happened. I downloaded a season of “The Wire” from iTunes a few days ago, and wanted to watch an episode. That’s how I noticed the problem. I had a larger hard drive installed in my MBP a couple of months ago, but everything else has worked fine and I tested ATV when I got my laptop back, and was able to play my media. Could some setting have been changed? Also, I recently installed 1Password, but I haven’t used it for signing on to iTunes or ATV.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello
    I have this question too but i know the answer you have to delete all the third party (apps that are downloaded from the appstore) apps that you have on ur iPhone.

  • Slate 500 Broken glass

    Hi, I have a HP Slate 500, this fall and broken the screen, not the LCD, just the glass, now the touch don't work anymore and had glass is broken at middle of screen.
    I need to replace this part, but HP don't give me support.
    Where I can buy this part? Can HP give me this part number, may be I can have some success with this.
    I live in Brazil, here HP don't give me support for this hardware. Every time than I try support, you say me to call U.S. support.
    Can you please tell me how to solve? I have a friend than live in U.S. if I buy the part, I can send to U.S. address, so, he can send me.
    But, please, don't say me to ask he to call support, he is a busy person and can't keep on telephone waiting for HP to solve my problem.
    I am more than two months trying to solve this without success.
    Thank you, I will wait for a answer than can really help me.

    How much crap is HP Support???? More than one year and I still have tablet with broken glass without fix. Never more I will buy things from HP again.

  • Unable to sync full 'Photos' album in iTunes

    Since updating to OSX 10.10.3, I am no longer able to fully sync my albums in Photos to my iPhone 6 via iTunes (12.1.2.27)
    I have an album in Photos titled iPhone 3G/4. It contains all of the photos I shot on my previous iphones. The album totals 7,522 (about 9GB of photos) items in all.
    When I sync to my iPhone in iTunes, and choose sync only selected albums in Photos, and choose this album (this is the only album I am selecting), only 1,118 photos sync to my phone. I have a 128GB iPhone 6 running iOS 8.3. I have used 49.3GB, and have 65GB free to use.
    I have tried the following solves with no success
    deleted the iPod Photo cache in the Photos library
    deleted all other albums in Photos so that the only album/collection is the iphotos 3G/4 photo
    unsyncing and re-synced my phone several times
    Can anyone recommend anything else to get these photos back on my phone? My hope is the solution does not involve wiping my phone and setting up as new. I have several apps on my phone with data that I cannot bear to lose, and since there is no way to add apps back to your phone with data a la carte, I am stuck.  I never had issues with this type of sync in iPhoto, this is a problem that seems to be unique to Photos.

    Ah, I found the bug.
    I had to go in and manually change the sync options for the Nano under the Devices > Movies tab.

  • Help deleting pirated Acrobat 9 Pro Extended and copying new 9 pro

    Hi
    I originally bought a copy of Adobe 9 Pro Extended on ebay for 250 USD but unfortunately it turned out to be priated. I discovered this only when I rang Adobe about there being no serial number shown in the software. Other than that I would never had known.
    Anyway in a bid to get legitimate software I have purchased a copy of Learning Suite 2.
    First step delete Acrobat 9. Well it does not appear in the Add/Remove programs, so I elected to delete it manually. Ie deleting the folder and files. To do this I went to programs (x86) and deleted the folder.
    Installing Learning Suite Disk 1 has installed with no issues.
    Installing Learing Suite Disk 2 (Acrobat 9 Pro), I continue to get an error message that a more capable produst is installed and the installer terminates.
    I have tried the following:
    Using Windows Installer Cleanup: It will not run as it says I have a runtime error.
    CS3 and CS4 Clean Script: It works untill the point where Windows Installer Cleanup cannot be found and then terminates.
    Deleteing files under Documents and Settings
    An option I can see is that I restore to point 5 days ago and then try another tack.
    The hardware and operating system is: Dell Studio i7 with Win 7 Ultimate
    Please help.
    Pete

    Hi 737,
    I have solved similar problems successfully on my PC with WinXP. May be my solution gives you a clue.
    I have installed CCleaner - a freeware cleaning program with satisfactory results.
    First of all I used System Restore in case I had to return to the point from where I started.
    After that I deleted the complete DIR of the 'wrong' program from C:\Program Files\ ... etc.
    For your problem: note that a bunch of Acrobat files are stored in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\....
    and probably also in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Acrobat\....
    I suggest to look for Acrobat files stored for other users as well.
    Delete these Acrobat files or Acrobat DIR's.
    Run the Register tool of CCleaner (second item left column). TIP: Do not tack all check points at once, but start with the upper item (missing DLL) - scan for problems - no back up needed - Correct all problems. Tack the second chechpoint and repeat the procedure, tack the third - and so on.
    It is obvious that the checkpoint(s) you have already scanned will not show any problems.
    Doing this step by step you will not be confronted with a mess (and mass) of information you don't know how to handle.
    Have a look at CCleaner - Tools (third item left column). May be it shows the program (or part of it) you want to delete.
    Check once again whether the program you wish to delete is shown in the software list of the configuration screen.
    All the above is based of WINXP.
    Hope you will be able to find the equivalents in WIN7.
    Have a nice day.

  • Photoshop CS6 Help Required -  Whites are slightly cream

    This is the first time I have posted a question on this forum.  If I am in the wrong place please accept my apoligies. Thanks.
    I have a problem which I have spent days and days trying to solve but without success, I sincerely hope someone can help me.
    I am using Photoshop CS6 (Version 13.0.6 x64) on a 27”iMac running  OS X Mavericks (Version 10.9.1).  My printer is an Epson 3800  (Driver Version 9.17).  I am using Epson inks on Epson paper and my screen is correctly calibrated.
    I have had the printer for a number of years and its prints are normally excellent. However the following problem has recently occurred and I am not sure what has caused it; but when I print the whites are not pure and are slightly cream. 
    If I print letting ‘Photoshop Manages Colours’ (which I have always done) and using an original Epson profile for Semigloss paper I get this problem.  To be precise when I print a test Grey Scale my 5% and 0% (white end of spectrum) are both the same cream colour and the 100% and 95% (black end of spectrum are also the same shade of black).  The profile numbers on the original image on screen reads for the white end 242 and 255 (5% and 0%) and for the black end 0 and 12 (100% and 95%).  I have concluded that there is no problem with the image or my screen, as I have mentioned it is correctly calibrated and you can see the difference in all the tones from 100% to 0%.
    When I print letting ‘Printer Manages Colours’ though I do not get this problem at all, although obviously the colour balance is not excellent compared to using the proper paper profiles.  I have therefore concluded that there is no problem with my printer.  It must then be either a profile issue or a software issue.
    However I get exactly the same problem if I print on Epson Glossy paper using the appropriate original Epson profile and ‘Photoshop Manages Colours’.  I have therefore concluded that it is not a profile issue and it must be a Photoshop issue, unless all the Epson profiles are corrupted which I think is most unlikely.
    I appreciate that my logic may be completely wrong and that is why I am posting my plea for help.
    Somewhere deep in Photoshop there must be a way to solve this problem.  Can you offer any advice or assistance?
    Message was edited by: RWJL

    Either you aren't selecting the correct profile for the paper and printer, or something is going wrong in the printer driver and it applies color corrections when it should not.
    Double check your choice of color profile - if that isn't it, then contact Epson and see if they have updates to fix their driver.

  • Classpath in ear

    Hi,
    I have a classpath problem with my EAR archive and strange effects.
    I pack an EAR archive wich contains :
    - 1 jar containings EJB's
    - 1 war that use struts
    - several jars with common objects (DTO)
    - several jars like common-logging,...
    + struts jar files are in the WAR file (/WEB-INF/lib)
    + Manifest.mf Classpath of war and ejb include common jars
    When I access an action I get an excption comming from servlet (weblogic.servlet.internal.ServletRequestImpl) :
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/struts/action/Action
    The strange effect are :
    - when I only remove the EJB module entry in application.xml, the error do not occurs
    - when I access a JSP instead of an action, Class.forName("org.apache.struts.action.Action") return a Class object.
    Is there known bug with the BEA classloader or did I miss something? I tried hours to solve this without success :-(
    Thank you for your responses,
    Frederic

    Hi,
    Thank you for your repsonse, I am going to try your suggestions.
    Last night I isolated the problem:
    I use a third-party-jar which contains helper abstract classes for both Beans and Actions (reference on j2ee & struts). It is first used by the EJB (during the deploy), Then when I make my first Action (which extends this 3rd party AbstractAction) Bea use the wrong classloader (ejb one not the web).
    The workaround is to include all struts jars in ear and ejb-manifest... (not really nice)
    I will try your both suggestions in order to solves this problem correctly.
    Thank You,
    Frederic

  • How to delete a free podcast video from the Videos Ap on iPad2

    I downloaded a free podcast called Stella Culinary Cooking Techniques CT005l Steak Pan Roasting Episode. It downloaded into the standard VIDEOS Ap and when you open this it opens as a Podcast - playing time 4:26.
    I now want to delete it and I have tried every possible way of deleting by pressing my finger firmly on the picture of the download and patiently waiting for the 'x' to appear (top left as it normally should). Nothing happens.
    I have turned off iCloud and Restrictions in General Settings also -This has also not worked. As a result I will be very reluctant in the future to download anything from iTunes.
    I simply want to get this video off my IPad and would welcome help from any user. Help ASAP would be appreciated. Thank you

    Thanks for your advice.
    After posting my question and after trying all possible ways. I managed to stumble on the solution as under:
    1. Open Videos Ap
    2. Press and hold finger over 'podcast' at the top left hand corner.
    3. The downloaded video will show and there will be an 'Edit' button on the top right.
    4. Press Edit and la 'x' will appear at the corner of the video.
    5. Pressing 'X' offers two options -  1. To Delete download &amp; 2. To Save it.
    6. Pressing Delete solved the problem successfully.
    The above might help someone else who may have had this problem. Thanks once again.

  • 802.1x with dACL - invalid attribute prefix: "ACS"

    Dear All,
    I've spent half a day traying to solve this without success, I hope you could help me.
    I've configured a simple 802.1x solution on a pilot PC that have to authenticate via PEAP-MSCHAPv2 users against my ACS Internal User database.
    Switch version:
    Model number                    : WS-C3750V2-48PS-S
    Software:     c3750-ipbasek9-mz.122-52.SE.bin
    ACS:
    C1121 with version 5.3.0.40
    The problem occurs when the ACS sends within the Authentication-Accept radius packet the following attribute:
    cisco-av-pair=ACS:CiscoSecure-Defined-ACL=#ACSACL#-IP-AUTH-4eb90704
    At the switch side I see the following debug log:
    002558: Nov  8 14:31:35.586: %AUTHMGR-5-START: Starting 'dot1x' for client (0022.680b.da7b) on Interface Fa1/0/1 AuditSessionID AC1FFE4E0000003105BCDE19

    002561: Nov  8 14:31:35.703: %AUTHMGR-7-RESULT: Authentication result 'server dead' from 'dot1x' for client (0022.680b.da7b) on Interface Fa1/0/1 AuditSessionID AC1FFE4E0000003105BCDE19

    dot1x timeout tx-period 10
    end
    The authentication at ACS side is successfully completed but for some reason the switch cannot understand the attribute sent to him by the ACS:
    Why the authentication results in 'server-dead' ?
    I've hereby attached the authorization profile, the downlodable ACL and the RADIUS authentication detail for the request...
    Any idea?
    Thanks a lot!

    Yes, I came across the same issue and ended up as a bug with the 3750
    CSCtj28883 dACL attribute parsing failed when 'aaa author' debug turned ON
    description is
    DACL processing fails when the following debugging parameters are turned on.
    1. debug aaa attr
    2. debug aaa authorization
    The same works fine when they are turned down. Attaching the switch log.
    I believe was resolved in version 3750-Build 12.2(55) as from the following note attached to the bug since was found to be unreproducable on later builds
    Submitter has confirmed that the bug is not seen on 55SE image.
    The issue is only seen in 53SE
    can also try and switch debugs off
