This has happened to me for a while. I've tried building st-git and dunst-git from the AUR, and they both die with similar stacktraces. The output shown above is run in a bash with stock configuration, so no aliases or other shell trickery is going on. I've searched both source trees, but can't even find any mention of "grep" in any of them.
Googling suggested that a file with a name starting with "-m" has been found, but I can't find any of these either.
wat do?

Imac G5 will not start up correctly? invalid directory count 52 instead of 53

Hi, i have a Imac G5. it had been working fine for many years untill a year or 2 ago when it stopped all of a sudden and just would not start up as it should. instead, it went to this grey screen with horizontal lines. eventually after trying just about every combination of keys held down on startup, the only way i could get the mac to restart was by starting it in safe mode. (at this point i rescued all my photos and music and moved them onto my macbook pro) i thought it was working fine in safe mode untill i realised that it could not connect to the internet, the sound would not work at all, and when i went to preferances it could not find any output device for the sound. it also keeps coming up with a message saying that my internet communication device does not exist. allot of the programs worked fine, such as word, or photoshop, whereas others would not. i verified the disk, and discored that it would not let me repair it.

Invalid record count - grey screen- Target Mode Cures

Hi there,
I have a common problem: I was doing nothing particular that I remember: No fancy file uploads, doanloads, creation, erasing - nothing special:
Anyway after a customary week, or few days of leaving the macbook permanently on, I think "let's give it a rest".
Then switch back on:
- Grey screen, spinning grey progress wheel fine.
- Takes a while. Strange. After say a minute - it just switches off wordlessly.
- Reset PRAM: No solution. Take a look with single-user startup in console: Files are all there, OK. Disk not dead.
- Start up from OS X 10.5 disk:
Permissions repair fine. Good.
Verify disk: FAIL! +*Invalid Record Count.Volume check failed.*+
Next: *Try target disk mode to back up essentials* - that works fine: I now have Time Machine AND a smaller important essentials backup.
But finally, here's the surprise: Just for kicks, I *shut the macbook down, try a reboot - and it works!*
But I note that root system files are unchanged since the problem occurred: ".hotfiles.btree" for example (I don't know what that is but suspect it's relevant).
Then: I tried restarting again - and back to square one, it won't boot.
Do the "Target disk" firewire mode trick again, and browse a few folders: And it boots (slowly).
If I just leave the Macbook on permanently - everything seems fine. Not even sluggish.
So:
- Why can connecting a disk with an incorrect file system in target disk make the system forget about these problems when booting?
- Why does the problem return on a successive reboot?
- Is it related to some system files being ignored if booting straight after a target mode session?
- What is ".hotfiles.btree", and should it not exist ?
And the big one:
- +Can extended Applecare, wot cost me loads of money, help me?+

Hi Cornelius:
Having been a faithful Apple-groupie for a while, and despite some problems over the years (hard drive failing, screen going, etc.) this is the first time I'm disappointed with them, because theor Micromat Applecare deal is a ripoff:
You fork out for Applecare extension: All you get is something that say "Yep, you've got a problem. Now go and buy techtoolpro".
That is, the TechTool Deluxe is practically useless. Argh.
Worse: They keep that rather quiet. If you run TechTool deluxe, and it fails: It points you to the Techtool site to
"download the TechTool Deluxe software with diagnostic and repair capabilities".
You think "Aha, right, I need an update, or a DMG rather than just the executable".
Download another 1.25Gb.
So you try again: Same thing.
The chiselling little crooks, to quote Ken Livingstone, won't even come out and say "Buy TechTool Pro to fix it". The website as reported above is wrong.
Result: I'm not happy with them. And I'll never buy anything off Micromat.
In the meantime, I've got a bootable backup thanks to CC-Cloner (excellent, I'll send him some money), and I'm waiting until I don't have any critical deadlines to allow myself time to restore a daily bootable backup.
The dodgy files seem to be the Sun Developper Java suite according to CC Cloner.

Invalid Block Count

Hi Everyone,
I seem to be getting an error message when i run Disk Utility, it says "Invalid Block Count, your disk is corrupt and needs to be repaired".
I then repair it using the Lion recovery disk and it repairs it. Maybe a month or so down the line it appears again I then do the same and the end result is the same, can anyone help with this as it is worrying me.
Also is there any way you can get rid of the bad sectors in the HDD when problems appear?
Thank you in advance.

Yes, you can take it to a genius bar and they should be able to give you a definitive diagnosis. They will charge you for a replacement if necessary, but you will know the cost and be able to decide if you want to do it yourself.
Ciao.

Invalid block count and poor performance

Hi - Can anyone help?
Running an early 2011 13' MBP on ML. For a year - 18 months I've noticed poor performance at times, consistently slow boot (sometimes 5 minutes to usable), occasional lockups and spotlight often reindexes itself and slows the system (much more than my previous MBP), I can't see anything that triggers it. I'm also getting recurring errors in Disk Utility of 'Invalid block count', every time I'll repair the disk (booting into recovery), but after a month of use the error will reappear. About three months ago I erased and reinstalled ML, some of my data was moved over in Time Machine but I didn't restore from it. The erase and reinstall hasn't made any difference and I'm still seeing the same issues. Hard disk SMART status appears to be fine.
Can anyone recommend any troubleshooting steps? I'm not sure what else to do, still under Applecare and was thinking maybe the HD isn't working correctly?
Cheers!

What is the max. count of internal worker-threads in B1iSN 88?

Hi Experts,
We have an installation of B1iSN 88 with an ECC 6.0 and 54 SAP Business One installation. The Hardware is 8 Core multi-threads processor. 32GB Memory. Now we have a problem with the queuing of Events. What we have found is that the configuration of the internal worker-threads is set to -1(please see below for the settings). We change the settings to xcl.threads=20 and it improves the queuing. My question is what is the max. count of internal worker-threads per core? so that we can know how many worker will set and if we need to upgrade the CPU to 16 Core..
# The max. count of internal worker-threads afforded for the internal Scheduler (defaults to 1)
# The value of 0 means that there is no limit (what in general should not be set up).
# A negative value means the count of threads per available processor
xcl.threads=-1
Regards,
Wilson

You're very welcome.
Yes, they are very nice machines.
What a jump in performance when I swapped out the Pentium 4 620 mine had, for the PD 945, and tossed in 4 GB of memory.
That box will also run the Radeon HD 6570 with no problem too, which is what I put in mine.
The downside of that model is that there are no settings for ahci or raid.
I own or have owned every CMT since the d510 with the exception of the dc7900.
My main PC is now the 8200 Elite CMT which I installed W8.1 on.
It has an i7-2600 processor and 32 GB of memory, 1 TB SATA III hard drive.
I threw in a Radeon HD 6670 in that one.
Best Regards,
Paul

The idea behind drag'n'drop visual editors and code-generators is nice. But they are not intented to be used by developers who don't understand what they do.
With other words, keep away from those visual editors and code generators as long as you're unexperienced with Java. Write code at your own. You will learn and grow gratefully.

Selecting on a Max Count of rows

I would like some advice on the following SQL. I am trying to select the max(count(*)) of a selct count(*). (if you know what I mean??)
select district_id
from (
     -- retrieve a list of districts, plus the count of employee related records
     select d.district_id, count(*) CountX
     from station s, division d
     where s.resp_empl_num = :empID and
     s.stn_status_code = 'AC' and
     s.resp_div_num = d.division_code
     group by d.district_id
     -- match on the district with the max count #
where CountX = (
     select max(count(*))
     from station st, division dv
     where st.resp_empl_num = :empID and
     st.stn_status_code = 'AC' and
     st.resp_div_num = dv.division_code
     group by dv.district_id
)

Try this
select district_id
from ( select district_id,
              rank() over (order by count(*) desc) rn
       from   station s, division d
       where s.resp_empl_num = :empID and
              s.stn_status_code = 'AC' and
              s.resp_div_num = d.division_code
       group by d.district_id
) where rn=1

How to dynamically set Min count and Max Count values in Adobe Print Form?

How to set the Min Count and Max Count values dynamically in a Print Form?
The values when set should over ride the values set in Binding Tab.
This is all needed to print multiple Material Number labels on a single page - and the number of labels to be printed needs to be under user control - something like an Avery Address labels
Please advise.
Thanks,

Here is a work around that works for me and may not be an intelligent solution .
I kept the Min Count to 1 on the subform binding properties.
Per the number of labels required, I appended the same item to the internal table so many times and passed it to the label.
it works fine for my requirement.
However - leaving out the post for a while to see if this can be done at the form level via scripting.
Thanks,

Frequent 'Filesystem Corrupt', Invalid File count

I have been getting this message every a couple of days in my MBP or iMac running 10.6.2. It happens/visible only when I runs Disk Utility and Verify Disk. Of course, this brings unsettling point to me when it comes now and then. Not to mention I have to boot from DVD to run disk utility to fix this
Error Message: Invalid file count (It should be xxxxx instead of xxx+1) AND
Error Message: Invalid volume directory count (It should be xxxxx instead of xxxx-1)
Any idea what causes this and what's the impact i.e. do I lose any files?
Thanks!!

Hi Tim,
By default, it is HFS+ Journaled (non-case sensitive). So I have also the same understanding that journalled filesystem should be robust as you wrote it. But the fact that this comes now and then, It created some doubts.
Is this a harmless error message or should I be worried about it. That basically my questions. I do repair when I see this.
It can't be because of disk is failing for a number of reason:
1) I have the same behavior both in my iMac and MBP
2) Both HDD has been replaced with new one recently
3) Both HDD has passed through surface scan from TechTool Deluxe 5.0.6, so no bad blocks
Still a puzzle...
Are you sure that the errors are showing up on both computers when performing either a "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" and NOT just a "Verify Disk Permissions" or "Repair Disk Permissions"? Permissions errors are mostly harmless. Filesystem errors (the sort you see when you ask for "Verify Disk" or "Repair Disk" in Disk Utility are not harmless and you should be worried about those.
If so, then either both drives are failing or your drives are being exposed to a strong enough magnetic field to damage their data (and that would have be pretty strong -- a common refrigerator magnet wouldn't do the trick.) In all of my years of working with journaled filesystems (or operating systems with "filesystem logging" which is the same thing) I have NEVER seen a journaled volume have filesystem errors unless it was physically failing.
Journaling will prevent filesystem errors if it's enabled for pretty much every cause except for a physically defective or damaged disk. Here's the short version of how journaling works...
Journaling (aka "filesystem logging") is intended to prevent filesystem corruption... and it's pretty rock-solid.
1) A "journal" (or "log") area is added.
2) A hard rule is established that, under no circumstances may the OS be performing writes to both the journal and the regular filesystem at the same time. One must be flushed before it can work on the other and vice versa.
3) When a write operation is about to happen, the OS writes information to the journal indicating which blocks on the filesystem are about to be changed and what it's about to change. This information is flushed to disk.
4) The OS can then perform the write on the actual filesystem areas it intended to change. These must then be flushed to disk.
5) The journal can now be cleared.
That's pretty much it (simplified). But think about what this does. Normally if something interrupts a write operation (something crashes, a kernel panic, a power loss, etc.) there is something that will still have integrity because the OS will not write to both the journal and the regular filesystem at the same time.
If a failure occurs while writing to the filesystem it's no big deal. When the system boots back up, it notices the journal wasn't cleared so it "replays" the journal. This re-writes any blocks that might only have been partially written thus clearing any chance of corruption on the volume.
If a failure occurs while writing to the journal it's still no big deal. When the system boots back up it notices a corrupt journal, but that means the regular filesystem itself wasn't being touched so the filesystem is guaranteed to not have errors on it (although it does mean the last file you were about to save probably didn't get saved -- and that file wouldn't have written successfully even if journaling were off. At least this way there is no filesystem corruption.)
While it sounds pretty solid (and it is) there's still a potential for corruption, but it's rare. If a drive swings the access arms to a specific track and starts writing data, the assumption is that the write head is above the correct track. If the head is "sloppy" due to wear, then the head may be slightly mis-aligned and bleeding writes into the adjacent track. This will cause filesystem corruption even with journaling enabled.
If these drives came with the computers then the only warranty would be via Apple. If you purchased these drives on your own then they probably came with a pretty good manufacturer warranty -- most drives I've purchased in recent years had at least a 3 year warranty.

MINUS operator fetches invalid record count

Hi,
One of the application team complained that oracle MINUS operator fetches an invalid record count after data load.
Here are the details of the data load:
They are using source as PROD and target as UAT.
They are replicating the data on UAT environment in schema A from fetching the data in PROD from the same schema.
After load when we query the count of records in UAT it shows more records in target, that is in UAT, than PROD.
When they use MINUS operator to fetch the extra records in UAT, it shows no rows selected.
SQL> select 'A' count(1) from A.UAT union all select 'A' count(1) from A.PROD@BISLSPD1;
A COUNT(1)
A.UAT 19105022
A.PROD 19104995
SQL> select distinct count(*) from (select distinct DW_DISCOUNT_KEY, DW_DISCOUNT_MODIFIER_KEY from A.UAT minus select distinct DW_DISCOUNT_KEY, DW_DISCOUNT_MODIFIER_KEY from A.PROD@BISLSPD1);
COUNT(*)
0
SQL> select distinct DW_DISCOUNT_KEY, DW_DISCOUNT_MODIFIER_KEY from A.UAT minus select distinct DW_DISCOUNT_KEY, DW_DISCOUNT_MODIFIER_KEY from A.PROD@BISLSPD1
no rows selected
Please note that both are partitioned tables and they are using Informatica Data Replication 9.5 tool to populate the data from source to target.
Not sure if this could be a bug or an issue.
PROD DB Version: 10.2.0.5
UAT DB Version: 10.2.0.5
Both are in Linux 2.6
Please throw some light on this.

Given that you've go "distinct" in your query, you're eliminating duplicates from each table (and MINUS implicitly means distinct anyway). Check for duplicates (of dw_discount_key, dw_discount_modifier_key) in both tables.
If the combination is actually unique, I would check that you actually had the raw results the right way round - MINUS is not symmetrical, and for a complete picture you need to look at (select from uat minus select from prod) union all (select from prod minus select from uat)

Invalid leaf count. Help!!

Turned on my macbook pro, logged in, tried to get online but the computer froze and I had to force shut down. When I turned it back on it never left the gray apple screen. Never had this before! I searched online and found a few things to try and I when I tried repairing it it said "invalid lead count. Should be 483 instead of 478" then it said "the volume mac hd could bot be repaired" and finally " error: disk utility can't repair this disk..." And then told me told me to back up as many files as I can.
Question 1: is my computer fried with no fix!? If yes then..
Question 2: how can I back up all of my pictures, music, etc? I'm kinda freaking out
Please help!

No your computer is not fried. the problem is the directory for the disk is corrupt.
So back it up. I would suggest trying to create a bootable clone with either SuperDuper or CCC.
Once you have done that boot from the clone.
From the clone you can reformat the disk thereby create a new directory.
You can then clone the external back to to the interal.

[SOLVED] makepkg gives "grep: invalid max count"
