[SOLVED] Messed up font on clean install

I have installed Arch 02.2013 on my old Pentium 3 computer. The installation went well, but on first boot the characters turned all funky (in GRUB it's still fine).
I took a picture of my screen (clicky):
Does anybody have any idea what's going on? I can debug using the CD, on which the font looks fine.

Nothing at the moment. I just tried Lat2-Terminal16 (or something like that), and it looks just as weird, a bit less bold though (so somewhat more readable).
My locale is en_US.UTF-8. Also, I have no swap partition at the moment (forgot it), and was planning on using GParted with some WM to add one, but that shouldn't be related.
EDIT: Here's the output of lcpci, might it be useful: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/31413453/IMG_20 … 175441.jpg
EDIT2: With the Arch CD and chroot I managed to get Xorg to run, couldn't be bothered to install a less primitive window manager. Anyway, it runs just fine on my 1680x1050 display (typing this from it), but the TTYs still looks garbled. I am going to try another display mode now.
EDIT3: I plugged in an AGP Graphics Card (NVIDIA GeForce MX 400, have some laughs ) and it works fine now.

    Re-installing is pain.. Especially if you have spent week/months tweaking your system too make it perfect just the way you want it.. You can probably back up the home directory and get back some of your configuration.. But re-installing all the applications you need again will be a pain..
    Especially with Arch Linux and it's KISS principles, you HAVE to re-install every single application after you re-install the system.. It's not like Ubuntu or Fedora where you get some stock applications ready to use.. Don't do it..
    As siriusb pointed out above, re-installing is the microsoft way.. With Arch (or in general with Linux), you can fix just about any situation with a little effort (sometimes even no effort).. Have a little patience, try figuring out what went wrong.. Post your questions in forums..
    It is a LOT easier to fix your system (with help from people in the community/forums) than to re-install..

  • I had a failure of a dsl modem which inturn destroyed my ethernet port of non isight imac G5.  In attempt to solve the problem I did a clean install of leopard 10.5.4. I am unable to upate to 10.6,.7  or .8 without freezing system network preferences

    Dsl modem failure caused malfunction of ethernet port.  In attempt to solve problem I did a clean instillation of  Leopard 10.5.4 and then update to 10.5.5 with access to internet through apple usb to ethernet adapter.  If I attempt to update software to 10.5.6, .7 or .8 it freezes my network system preferences and computer will no longer shut down.  The network connection assistant also no longer sees a connection to the internet throught the usb/ethernet adapter.  I have checked they systerm Tech tool deluxe which shows no problems and also used hard drive utility on instillation disk which found no problems.  Permissions were also checked as well and no problems noted.  Any thoughts as I really like my imac G5.

    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

  • Made a mess of my clean install

    OKay, I took a copy of my lion install onto dvd.  I clicked reinstall which worked fine, however I wanted a clean install of lion on my machine as I have issues with too much content too little hardrive space.
    So my thinking was clean install and then only place back on there what I need once I have cleaned it and removed anything I dont want....so I took a clone backup and also a timemanchine backup
    Here is when it went wrong.
    I clicked the disk utlity, and erased the contents of the hardrive.  I then stupidly read the how to incorrectly and moved the disk drive to the hardrive, thinking this would then  restore from the disk, but all it has done is made the drive locked and i'm no longer able to restore, erase or boot from the disk or the hardrive.
    Next major mistake, I selected restore from timemachine, so its now overwritten my clone copy with the disk copy.
    I'm in  a right mess now and I dont know how to get out of it, any ideas?

     I created the boot disk after I had downloaded from the app store, I did not upgrade immediately, so placed a copy of the contents of the upgrade and copied this to a dvd
    Ok, I see what you did. You just saved the downloaded Lion Installer, you didn't create a bootable Lion DVD as outlined in this procedure.
    http://eggfreckles.net/notes/burning-a-lion-boot-disc/
    If you have another Mac #2 and good single layer DVD's, go ahead and copy that Lion Installer to the hard drive of Mac #2 and create the bootable Lion DVD as outlined in the link instructions.
    Your going to need this to boot from and install both the Lion Recovery Partition and the Lion OS X Partition again.
    I had one hardrive, with two partitions, one with the timemachine backup and the other partition with clone.
    Ok, the clone partiton got TM-ed, but you still got a TM to restore from, which is what we are going to focus on now and then make another clone later to do the "cleanup" operation you initially wanted to do.
    I booted from the dvd and went into disk utility where I erased the hardrive.
    How did you boot from this DVD? Did you hold c and boot, or option or??
    Was this Lion DVD created as outlined in the Eggfreckles link?
    once this was compelted it rebooted and I went back to the disk utility, however I moved the DVD contents across to the internal hardrive.....I know I should have gone to reinstall on the lion install from the DVD now.
    Yes, but you can boot off the DVD again and erase and install Lion from the DVD like you should have, once you do that just restore from TM.
    Clicked restore and it seems to have restored the copy of the dvd to my hardrive.
    It will restore a copy of the DVD installer, not the actual install of Lion and the Lion Recovery Partition
    But you realize your mistake now.
    I then connected my hardrive with the time machine and clone partitions, it asked me select a backup source, so I clicked on timemachine.  It asked me to click on the drive to restore to, I thought it has selected my internal drive but it has selected my partition with the clone on it and wiped it.
    That's ok, you WISELY made two backups, although on the same drive which wasn't the best choice as if that hard drive died it would take both TM and the clone down.
    So since you have a Lion/Lion Recovery install DVD and a TM to restore from, all you have to do is those in that order and your back to normal.
    Once your back to normal on your boot drive, THEN clone over the Lion Partition to the clone partiton again (actually you should use another drive)
    That should get you back exactly where you were before you started.
    So now I have a timemachine folder with backups on, which I have just copied onto another drive just in case I mess up again using another mac I have. 
    However when i go back to my Imac, it says select the boot up disk and takes me to the lion restore options, if I click restore lion it takes me to what was my internal drive but says it is locked.  this disk is locked.  which is now called MAC OS X install ESD.
    I have a cd with my lion on it, and a hardrive.  If I click boot to dvd it says cannot find files, if I boot to hardrive it takes me to the lion install screen but wont go any further.
    Ok, what your doing is moving/copying stuff around and running things without knowing what is what and what they do.
    You likely need to STOP and educate yourself first.
    You have a Lion boot DVD and you have a TM restore, that will get you back to before all this started, but the way your going your going to delete something or mess up TM.
    If you can't c boot off the Lion DVD and erase and format the drive, install Lion and reboot, connect the TM drive and restore from that, then you need to stop and take it to someone who can.
    Your working with your last backup, you mess up now and all your files will be gone.

  • Clean Install or keep messing up with old system.

    Hi,
    I have been learning about Arch for a while - mostly trying different things and learning commands and how it works. In this learning process, I install a lot of things that may not be required in long run or make system more resource intensive or just cluttered. If you have been in such a situation, Is it a good idea to start afresh or keep messing up old system and clean install should be last resort? I often find clean install a lot easier to fix but it does require some time to re install all the system back.
    Thanks.

    There shouldn't be a need to reinstall.
    If you're not already familiar with all of pacman's bells and whistles now is a good time to learn.  There are various switches that will list packages that are no longer needed (eg, installed as a dependency to a package that is now gone).
    Not long ago I went though the full list of all packages installed to do some housecleaning.  It took a little bit of effort, but I ended up learning more about what was on my system.  I learned even more when I removed something that I guess I needed!

  • Firefox has suddenly stopped connecting on one of three user accounts on the same computer. That account still connects with Safari - but not Firefox. A clean-install has not solved the problem. Help?

    Three user accounts on the same computer all link to a single copy of Firefox 3.6.8 - but one of them has suddenly lost its ability to use the program. Firefox opens in that account, but it cannot connect to the Internet. 'Done' appears at the lower left of a blank Firefox page [it's set to load a blank page initially], as though a page had finished downloading ... but Firefox does not actually generate any Internet activityx.
    Previously, the Firefox connection for this account was smooth and reliable. I haven't added, upgraded or downloaded any new programs, nor made any other computer changes in recent weeks or months.
    Puzzlingly - that same account still connects successfully to the Internet via Safari. And the other accounts on the same computer continue to use Firefox with no problem - including a test user-account that I set up today to help troubleshoot the problem. The blockage is restricted solely to Firefox with that one user account.
    Following your Support page instructions, I did a clean-install of Firefox 3.6.8, removing both the existing Firefox 3.6.8 and the Library/Application Support/Firefox folder. Going the extra mile, I checked all accounts to be certain that no Firefox folders remained in any of them - then emptied the Trash and restarted before installing a freshly downloaded 3.6.8. But blimey - the blockage still persists for that one user account.
    Firefox shows no visible cookies that might influence the connection. [It's set to delete all cookies upon closing anyway.] And I see no obvious instructions in Mac's firewall or any software program to refuse access to Firefox. The computer is stand-alone, not networked. And in any case, Firefox works just fine in the two other user accounts.
    Deleting the hobbled user account is not feasible. So what is causing this roadblock? Did I miss a step in the clean-install? How can that account resume using Firefox?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.

    If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
    You can also delete active-update.xml and possibly updates.xml (stores the update history).

  • Clean install to solve buggy system?

    Hello,
    My MacBook Pro Retina has been buggy for quite a while. I was hoping the new OS would smooth things out, but I've noticed additional issues. For example, the folders in my finder are blurry and don't open, and my shortcut folders in the left pane are empty; I can only get into my folders via spotlight. Another bug I've noticed is that my desktop icons move around on their own.
    I have two questions: (1) Is performing a clean install a potential way to smooth this out? (2) Will restoring my computer from a time machine backup simply reintroduce these buggy issues back into the system?
    Thanks!

    Try restoring OS X from your recovery disk.
    That, at least, should eliminate the operating system as a source of your problems.
    You should also consider deleting third party software that affects the operating system.

  • Mail import after clean install mess

    I did a clean install of Mavericks and then attempted to get Mail up and running again.  In my old User I found in the Library/Mail folder which contained a Lost and Found folder and a V2 folder that seemed to contain all the mail.  I moved those to the new User using the Shared folder and then Imported those two folders sequentially.  I was not sure how to do the import, so I did it sequentially.  When I imported the first of those folders (not sure which I did first), what I got was all of my folders of mail On My Mac but only up through 2005.  When I imported the second, I got the rest of the mail messages, but with no organization other than numbered folders.  Is there a way to do the import so everything will be back in its correct places?

  • Iweb says font in not installed.

    I have a serious problem with iWeb. One of the sites I have made (and which runs for a few years now) uses the Skia font which is installed on my OSX 10.6.8 system. I use it often in all kinds of documents. Today I want to update a few pages in that website, I open up iWeb and get the msg that the Skia regular font is not installed. But it is; like it has always been. No problems in Pages, in Photoshop etc. I turned it on and off in the Fontmanager (not sure if it is called that way in the english version, but I mean the standard fonttool in OSX). The only thing I can think off is that in cleaning my fontlibraries (which I did some time ago) I have thrown away another (double) version of the Skia font and iWeb wants that other version.
    I can manually update all the text fields on all of the 50 (or so) pages, but I don't know what fields are in Skia and what in some other font, which means the risk that I mess up the whole site.
    Is there a way to solve this problem; some programs give the option to choose an alternative font when a used type is not installed, but I can't find an option like that in iWeb.
    Who can help me ?

    Try the following:
    delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
    go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
    Click to view full size
    launch iWeb and try again.
    You do know that Skia is not one of the Web Safe Fonts and will look different on computers that do not have that font installed, particularly PCs, right?.  It could change the look of the entire page.

  • How to Clean Install but then retrieve & restore my Keychain and Mailboxes.

    For months now, there have been a large number of irritating problems with my system - and I'm not enough of a techie to resolve them.
    It is as though my machine is stuck in the past.
    Spotlight doesn't index well - and fails to find up to two thirds of my files - including most of the newer ones.
    Dashboard remains at the point at which I upgraded my disk drive. I know this, because a clip from Safari (a web-page with drives for sale) comes up - laboriously slowly - every time I open dashboard; when I delete the clip, it simply reappears the next time I open dashboard after a reboot. Similarly, post-it-style notes made in the Stickies app just vanish after a reboot.
    When I open TextEdit, the same untitled file I was working on back in the early summer opens with it; I close it, it's back again the next time I open TextEdit. Alterations I make to Text substitution disappear the moment I close the panel.
    All new bookmark additions to Safari vanish from my bookmarks when I restart Safari.
    Every time I open iTunes, it thinks I am opening it for the first time. I can't tell you how many times I have agreed to their Software License.
    My iCal alarms go off ad infinitum even when I turn them off and for months after the event in question.
    And so on, and so on. It's like living with an Alzheimer's patient who keeps asking you what day it is.
    I have twice reinstalled Snow Leopard (and rebooted my way through all those software updates) to no avail. My system - or at any rate my applications - still think it's early summer 2010 and any changes since then are forgotten; and Spotlight continues to be virtually useless.
    It seems intuitive that some of these problems might be associated with individual preference files and caches for the various applications. But, even if I knew how to correct such problems, I'm concerned it might take me days - even weeks - of messing around but without solving all of my problems.
    I have to say, I am tired of having half a Macintosh at my disposal. And I'm inclined to do something drastic.
    The obvious solution to these pernickety system problems is completely to reinstall Snow Leopard (onto an erased hard drive) and start from scratch. What has stopped me doing this so far is the fact that, together with the various keycodes that came with my applications, I would also lose all my e-mails and accounts from the Mail application - and all the various passwords in my Keychain.
    Surely there must be some way to retrieve just these select items alone from backup after a clean install? (And - yes, techies - I KNOW that Apple doesn't offer a "clean install" these days but you know what I mean: I want to reset everything; then retrieve a few select items - but WITHOUT the complete migration - which would likely, in the process, reinstate all those corrupted preference files or permissions or whatever it is that is messing around with my machine's short term memory.)
    So here's my question again:
    How - following a "clean install" - do I locate and retrieve the specific ingredients that will restore my mailboxes and keychain to their current state, whilst leaving everything else "clean"?
    Message edited by: Eric M Colvin
    Message was edited by: Eric M Colvin

    An alternative proposal I'm going to make is to set up a new user account. It seems highly likely to me that all, or almost all of these issues are related to the account preference files in ~/Library. Certainly the iTunes issue, Safari, TextEdit, iCal etc. suggest that your account is having trouble with saving any changes to its preference files which would result in anything you tried to do being forgotten the moment the application was closed.
    So for a start, make a new account, log in to it and do a couple of experiments - make some bookmarks in Safari, change some TextEdit options, open iTunes - then close and reopen them, or even restart the machine. If the changes are saved, then it's definitely an account problem and there is no need to reinstall Mac OS. Worst case scenario then would be you might need to move your documents and settings over to the new account; however it's also worth taking a couple of steps to see if the original account can be fixed. Try the above step and if it works; if so, go to /Users and right click your home folder, then 'Get Info'. Under the section dealing with permissions, ensure that your username has both read and write permissions, then use the cogwheel to apply this setting to all folders and files inside your home folder (you may need to use your password to unlock the padlock for this).
    There are other things that can be attempted even before moving to a new user (or reinstalling if the new user test failed) so it's still worth checking back here in case other people suggest steps, it just depends how much time you want to invest.
    As always, back up all your data before troubleshooting.

  • [SOLVED] TTY terminal font not displaying correctly

    Solved, see Edit 2 for solution.
    Begin original post:
    Hi everyone,
    When I login to any TTY console on my system (i.e. by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F2 and loging with my user name and password), the [user@hostname ~]$ is all gibberish; it looks something like this:
    ┌─[\[\e[31;1m\]\u@\[\e[32;1m\]\H\[\033[1;37m\]] \n\[\033[1;37m\]└─[\[\033[0;36m\]\w\[\033[1;37m\]]> \[\e[0m\]
    Note: The user name and password prompts display correctly, as well as any commands that I enter (such as pacman -Syu), just the text preceding where I enter commands in messed up. Also, graphical terminal emulators such as xfce4-terminal do not have this issue.
    I have researched this for a while, and I found a Post that outlines the same issue I am having. Unfortunately, the solution is for init.d and rc scripts, so it obviously will not work with Systemd.
    Also, no other distro has this problem on my system, even a clean install of Arch works properly. This leads me to believe that a config file is messed up somewhere.
    Does anybody know how to translate the above fix to a Systemd solution so I do not have to deal with wonky virtual consoles?
    Thanks
      -venividivici24
    Edit: I just tried logging in as root, and it worked fine, everything was normal, so maybe it is some configuration file for my user specifically.
    Edit 2: I fixed it. The problem happened to be in my ~/.profile config file. A while ago, I had bashish installed, but have since removed it. It left some settings in .profile that caused the console to act the way described above.
    All I did to fix this was to change this:
    # Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
    unset TERMCAP
    # Man is much better than us at figuring this out
    unset MANPATH
    BASHISHDIR="/usr/local/share/bashish" ## line added by bashish
    TTY=`tty 2>/dev/null` && if test "x$BASHISHDIR" != x;then ## line added by bashish

    export BASHISH_CP BASHISH_OLDPATH TTY ENV ## line added by bashish
    . "$BASHISHDIR/main/prompt/sh/init" ## line added by bashish
    fi ## line added by bashish
    to this (I commented out the commands):
    # Termcap is outdated, old, and crusty, kill it.
    #unset TERMCAP
    # Man is much better than us at figuring this out
    #unset MANPATH

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I may not agree with them.

  • Erase disk and clean install - The only way

    Just a note to say that I tried Archive and Install, and Migrate, and was beset with many of the problems discussed here. I messed about for hours trying to sort this and that. Then I decided that it was time for a fresh start.
    I hated the idea of starting again from scratch installing all my progs one by one. It took me about a day, as I tried each program for glitches after install. But it felt more satisfying than trying to fix a busted system.
    There were no glitches. I stayed away from progs with known issues.
    http://www.macintouch.com/leopard/compat.html
    I started with the progs I can't live without, and added the others as needed. I kept a backup of my old system and dragged in prefs for many apps as needed, which speeded things up and made it less painful. My main problem after that was importing Mail, as it seemed to be corrupted or at least Mail could not deal with the import. I got around that by using a prog called emix to mbox converter and imported the mbox file. That worked fine.
    The result is that now my system is clean of all the dross of old prefs and progs I did not use anyway.
    AND Leopard works really well.
    I know it won't solve all the problems, and all the other install methods should work, but we have to remember every computer is different due to the soft we put in. A major system release is the burning edge. I'm so curious that I always get burned a bit. I know I should wait for the first update from apple before jumping in, like all my sensible friends. Of course, I do have a laptop still running Tiger so I'm not that brave!
    All The Best
    Gordon

    Gordon, I think that for must users, the simple upgrade is the way to go, but only with a confirmed backup. I upgraded my "old" MBP and the process went perfectly and took a bit over an hour. Everything works and it works better than with Tiger.
    I think the choice depends on how old the computer is, how many programs are installed, how good the hardware is, and how well prepared the computer and the user are for the upgrade.
    If someone has a lot of special software installed, it's possible that they have some combination that was not tested simply because it's impossible to do so.
    I would still recommend an upgrade (with that backup) then, if that does not go swimmingly, an erase and install.
    I did a clean install on my G5 only because I wanted to keep the Tiger in the tank, so to speak, so the machine is dual-boot - one internal HD for each OS.
    But, to each his own.
    No piece of software will ever install smoothly on every computer. That's a given. The goal is to maximize the number of computers it will install on smoothly. This is also the reason Apple has cut off some older computers from this upgrade.
    Perfection is for the other world, not this one.
    However, with well over 2 million Leopards leaping out in the wild, I can only assume that most installs went perfectly or this board would be inaccessible for all the traffic we would have.
    You obviously know what you are doing, and you did what it took.
    I did one upgrade and one clean install and I would leave the choice up to the user.
    But only if they have that all-important clone standing by in the sidelines.

  • Clean Install mavericks? CC question

    Hi,
    I know how to clean install mavericks on my mac as that's very simple but:
    I know I should deactivate Creative Cloud on this machine first, But it's not deactivated on my time machine backups so:
    When I reinstall from my time machine backup all my files and apps this isn't going to work with Creative Cloud is it? as
    the Time Machine backup will reinstall a fully activated version of Creative Cloud completely messing up my adobe account and
    making Adobe think I've installed it fraudulently on a third Mac, (copy already installed on another as allowed in the licence agreement).
    It will see this as a third copy I think.
    I hope you can see what I mean from this explanation of what I think will happen if I try a clean install from my time machine backup.
    What is the correct way on a Mac to do a clean install and reactivate Creative Cloud please without using up a licence.
    It's so confusing the possibilities appear to be endless for mess-ups.
    Thanks

    Hi Kuldeep,
    I'm sorry you got me confused for a second there, you started talking about un-installing when I hand't mentioned it and this confused me with my first replly to you. I don't think you read my question, I'm not talking at any time about uninstalling the apps I'm talking about deactivating, completely different with on my web connection about 6 hours difference in time.
    What I don't know is what I asked above:
    I already know about the licence agreement as I'd stated so why did you tell me like I hand't mentioned it?
    Rather than I repeat myself could I ask you to read the first post before replying. I don't mean to be rude but you can't have read it to come back with your answer.
    Thanks
    Bill
    I will repeat is a slightly different way just in case this helps anyone:
    (On a computer that already has a registered copy of CC on it but needs re-formatting):
    1: I can deactivate CC
    2: I re-format and restore my computer from it's time machine backups
    3: The copy of CC on my Time Machine backups is not de-activated is it? I don't know how this would work (this is the crux of the problem that I won't be able to fix afterwards).
    4: If it is deactivated, can't see how, but everything is fine and I carry on and the problem is solved.
    5: If it isn't deactivated Adobe think I've installed CC on a third computer without permission and get very upset and put my account on hold and stop me from earning money.

  • Is a clean install really this hard?

    Hi folks,
    I installed Flexbuilder 2 over my existing Eclipse
    installation, choosing the "plug-in" option rather than a complete
    install. But I couldn't debug: it claimed I had to install
    FlashPlayer 9 (yes, it was already installed and working) or
    Flexbuilder needed re-installing. (I'm running Firefox 2.0.0.6 on
    Windows XP, fully patched). I tried re-installing Flexbuilder but
    the install process quit when it saw the existing installation. Due
    to deadlines, I elected to make due with Alert.show() rather than
    the integrated debugger. Man, does that slow you down!
    But now the deadline has passed, and I have a few minutes to
    uninstall and reinstall things. So I uninstalled flashplayer, the
    flex plugin, elcipse (just by renaming the directory - it doesn't
    seem to have any windows hooks). Then I reinstalled Flexbuilder,
    using the Complete option rather than the plug-in option.
    After spending 20 minutes trying to figure out how open an
    existing project from a clean install (I couldn't find anything in
    the docs on that), I'm now in a different mess. When I run the
    project from within the IDE, it launches Firefox against the wrong
    directory path - it seems to have an extra "/bin/" in the path.
    Anyone know where I fix that?
    I can repair the broken path in the web browser to get the
    app running, but as soon as I do, I get this error message:
    Error: Unable to load style(Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL:

    There are no references to blue.swf in my app so I really
    have no idea where this is coming from.
    It also can't find the debugger, and asks me if it's running
    on the local machine or a remote machine. wtf? (Windows Firewall is
    turned off). Doesn't matter what I say, it doesn't like it and I
    have to hit the cancel button. Then my app comes up with missing
    controls and assorted broken functionality.
    I must say that my experience with this product is poor and
    getting poorer. Can someone help me out of the corner I'm painted
    into?
    Many thanks,
    ws
    p.s. Typing long posts like this into such a small window is
    also very annoying.

    I removed the Flash player via Add/Remove programs, then
    installed the debug version I downloaded from adobe. You didn't
    indicate whether I had chosen the correct download (as per my last
    post), so I'll assume it's correct. The message window from the
    install said this:
    Output folder: C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash
    Extract: NPSWF32.dll... 100%
    Extract: NPSWF32_FlashUtil.exe... 100%
    Extract: flashplayer.xpt... 100%
    Created uninstaller:
    C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash\uninstall_plugin.exe
    Completed
    NPSWF32.dll landed in C:\Windows\system32\Macromed\Flash,
    rather than Program Files\Mozilla\PlugIns, which is obviously
    wrong. I copied it over, and that solved the bug about "can't find
    npswf32.dll". Any idea why this gets installed in the wrong
    directory? Is something else configured wrong?
    With that somewhat solved, we're back to the first problem -
    when the application launches, I get this message pop up:
    Error: Unable to load style(Error #2035: URL Not Found. URL:
    blue.swf): blue.swf.

    flash.events::EventDispatcher/flash.events:EventDispatcher::dispatchEventFunction()
    at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
    at ::ModuleInfo/errorHandler()
    And finally, and new error: "Send Failed". This error pops up
    as soon as I try to do something with my app that calls the back
    end (weborb) server. I pointed to a different server and got the
    same error, so it's a problem on this client. This problem didn't
    start until I uninstalled and re-installed everything this morning
    (see my first post for details). Now this error is sooooo generic I
    have no idea how to debug it. Along those lines, are you an Adobe
    employee levancho? I'm wondering if you might be able to bring in
    someone with a bit of weborb experience (although I doubt it's
    related, since this worked fine on my previous install).
